Jablum Coffee Company
Coffee Beans © Sora
In the Blue Mountain hamlet of Mavis Bank, on the trail to Blue Mountain Peak, is the Jablum Coffee Company. The nearly 100-year-old company is famous for its Blue Mountain coffee, and if they are interested visitors can tour the working factory to watch the production process along with sampling the brew. Tours must be arranged in advance. The coffee factory was built in 1923 and has remained a family-run business for generations. The production of Blue Mountain coffee dates back to the early 18th century when, in 1728, coffee seedlings were first brought to Jamaica by the British Governor. The plant thrived in the Blue Mountain region and the trade was enthusiastically cultivated by freed slaves who started new lives in the mountains. Today, Blue Mountain coffee is highly acclaimed and sought-after by coffee aficionados the world over.
Mavis Bank is a sleepy rural town which feels like it hasn't changed much over the decades and has a beautiful natural setting. The Jablum Coffee Company sells a variety of coffee merchandise (including antique coffee grinders and mills) and a visit is a treat for coffee lovers. Coffee is one of the best souvenirs to buy in Jamaica.

New Blogger Coming
I don't use this very often, but Blogger is talking about coming out with changes. We will see if it makes using Blogger worth the effort. Other social websites are so easy to post to from my Blackberry, and many other folks read what's on those sites, Blogger is like painting an oil painting on the wall of an abandoned building-- no one looks at it.

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — The United States is urging Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga to call off an "inauguration ceremony" next week meant to protest President Uhuru Kenyatta's re-election.
A U.S. Embassy statement calls the Dec. 12 ceremony "extra-constitutional" and urges the opposition to work within Kenya's laws to pursue electoral and other reforms.
The statement comes as the top U.S. official for African affairs, Donald Yamamoto, visits the East African economic hub after it faced months of political turmoil, including a repeat presidential election. He met with government and opposition leaders.
The opposition calls its planned swearing-in of Odinga "lawful" and blames so-called "stolen" elections for polarizing the country.
The U.S. statement also urges Kenya's security forces to show "maximum restraint" after months of deadly clashes with opposition supporters.

The Wachovia Foundation, the charitable arm of Wachovia Corporation, has pledged $75,000 to the Nursing Department of The University of North Carolina at Pembroke.
Check presentation -- From left: Donna Cutrell, clinical nursing instructor, Lorna Ricotta, director of Corporate and Foundation Relations, Dr. Barbara Synowiez, chair of the Nursing Department, Chancellor Meadors, David Parker, president of Wachovia's eastern N.C. region and Melody Hyatt, Wachovia's Lumberton Financial Center Manager.
The gift, which is to be completed over three years, will help fund a program titled Bridging the Gap whose mission is to recruit and support diversity in nursing education and, ultimately, in the workforce.
On July 10, Wachovia's Eastern North Carolina Regional President David Parker and Wachovia's Lumberton Financial Center Manager Melody Hyatt toured the nursing education center at Southeastern Regional Medical Center in Lumberton.
"I've learned a lot today," Parker said. "We're extremely pleased to partner with UNCP's nursing program to help improve the quality of health care for our region.
"The number one priority for the Wachovia Foundation is education, and health and human services is not far behind, so this is a good fit for us," he continued. "We look forward to visiting again to see the benefits of the program."
Hyatt helped the Wachovia Foundation identify the Bridging the Gap program.
"I was looking for a way for Wachovia to become involved with the University, and the nursing program is a good match for the mission and goals of our Foundation," Hyatt said. "I look forward to continuing involvement."
Chancellor Allen C. Meadors thanked the Wachovia representatives for the gift.
"We believe that with our nursing programs we can make a difference in nursing care in our region," Chancellor Meadors said. "A diverse enrollment in the program is a good guarantee that the nurses we train will stay in our community.
"Health care programs are very expensive, and support of this kind is very, very important," he continued. "We need the most advanced technology available for the clinical training of nurses for the future."

The Wachovia bankers met with nursing students, toured five clinical simulation laboratories and spoke with one of the computerized "patient simulators."
"An advanced patient simulator can cost as much as $100,000," said Dr. Barbara Synowiez, chair of the Nursing Department. "We appreciate the gift from Wachovia for the Bridging the Gap program.
"The purpose of this project is to increase the nursing workforce diversity in a region that is medically underserved," she continued. "The project will increase the cultural competency of the nursing workforce and the quality of health care service of the region."
Wachovia is a diversified financial services company that provides a broad range of retail banking and brokerage, asset and wealth management, and corporate and investment banking products and services with retail and commercial banking operations in 21 states.
Wachovia has assets exceeding $708 billion and deposits of more than $408 billion. It is a tier one bank and trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol WB.
Improving education is the number one priority of the Wachovia Foundation followed by community development, health and human services and arts and culture.
UNCP's Nursing Department was founded in 1992 to provide educational opportunities and professional advancement for registered nurses to earn Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degrees. In 2005, the four-year pre-licensure program opened and granted its first BSN degrees in May 2007.

Legislatures in several states that historically have steered clear of real estate transfer taxes now are considering adding them to help deal with mounting deficits. Although proponents say real estate transfer taxes are necessary to help fund state services, opponents view them as an unwarranted tax on home sales.
What Transfer Tax Opponents Say
Recently, taxpayers in several states that don't have transfer taxes have launched campaigns, including proposed constitutional amendments, to prevent state lawmakers from imposing transfer taxes.
Those groups say there are good reasons for taxpayers to block transfer tax statutes, because they:
- Raise the cost of home sales transactions, says NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® Chief Economist Lawrence Yun. "The increased cost may prevent some buyers from purchasing a home."
Example: A 1% transfer tax on a home valued at $205,000 would amount to $2,050. First-time homebuyers can be hit especially hard, as they have no equity from the sale of a prior home to help pay transfer taxes.
- Are hard on seniors who need to sell their home, since a home is often the largest and most important asset a person has. A real estate transfer tax burdens homeowners who work hard to create equity in the home only to see it go to the government when they sell their home.
- Can negatively influence current home values, says Al Angrisani, former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Labor and author of Win One for the Shareholders. "A transfer tax works like a depressant on home value," he says.
- Amount to double taxation. Home owners already pay property taxes to state and/or local governments every year, say critics. Making homebuyers and homesellers pay more taxes when a house changes hands adds a second layer of fees.
In states that don't have transfer taxes, homeowners often fight frequent legislative attempts to impose them. In Montana, lawmakers have proposed a transfer tax nine times in the past 10 years.
Proponents Think Transfer Taxes are Needed
Transfer taxes are a popular tool for generating revenue. In fact, 36 states and the District of Columbia now impose transfer taxes, which are paid at the real estate closing by the buyer, seller, or both as a percentage of the total sale price. Percentages range from .01% in Colorado to up to 2% in the Delaware.
In some places, more than one jurisdiction charges a transfer tax. For example, in Philadelphia, the state collects a 1% transfer tax and the city charges another 3% transfer tax.
Good reasons to use transfer taxes:
- Fund many state programs. In 2013, real estate transfer taxes produced about $4.8 billion in state tax revenue, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
- Pay for schools, roads, and other infrastructure that government has to build to accommodate growing populations.
- Dedicate to specific purposes, such as the environment: Tennessee gives a portion of the transfer taxes it collects to wetlands preservation programs.
What Others are Doing
Not every state legislature believes in using transfer taxes. Fifteen states have remained free of real estate transfer taxes: Alabama, Arizona, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming.
In Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, and Oregon, taxpayer groups successfully worked with state REALTOR® associations to pass constitutional bans on transfer taxes.
Angrisani notes there's good reason for this groundswell of sentiment against transfer taxes. "States resort to taxes like these because politicians simply can't make the hard decisions to cut spending. Whether they like it or not, that's a decision state governments are going to have to make," he says.
What You Can Do
If this is an issue you want to get involved in:
- Contact state and local legislators. Let your state representatives know you're in favor of legislation banning or regulating transfer taxes.
- Volunteer with groups active in the issue. State REALTOR® associations are actively working with taxpayers and taxpayer groups to gain support for bans on or regulations of transfer taxes. Find a listing of state associations here.

The Trevi Fountain (Italian: Fontana di Trevi) is a fountain in the Trevi rione in Rome, Italy. Standing 25.9 meters (85 feet) high and 19.8 meters (65 feet) wide, it is the largest Baroque fountain in the city.
The fountain at the junction of three roads (tre vie)[1] marks the terminal point[2] of the "modern" Acqua Vergine, the revivified Aqua Virgo, one of the ancient aqueducts that supplied water to ancient Rome. In 19 BC, supposedly with the help of a virgin, Roman technicians located a source of pure water some 13 km (8 miles) from the city. (This scene is presented on the present fountain's façade.) However, the eventual indirect route of the aqueduct made its length some 22 km (14 miles). This Aqua Virgo led the water into the Baths of Agrippa. It served Rome for more than four hundred years.[3] The coup de grâce for the urban life of late classical Rome came when the Goth besiegers in 537/38 broke the aqueducts. Medieval Romans were reduced to drawing water from polluted wells and the Tiber River, which was also used as a sewer.
The Roman custom of building a handsome fountain at the endpoint of an aqueduct that brought water to Rome was revived in the 15th century, with the Renaissance. In 1453, Pope Nicholas V finished mending the Acqua Vergine aqueduct and built a simple basin, designed by the humanist architect Leon Battista Alberti, to herald the water's arrival.[4]
In 1629 Pope Urban VIII, finding the earlier fountain insufficiently dramatic, asked Gian Lorenzo Bernini to sketch possible renovations, but when the Pope died, the project was abandoned. Bernini's lasting contribution was to resite the fountain from the other side of the square to face the Quirinal Palace (so the Pope could look down and enjoy it). Though Bernini's project was torn down for Salvi's fountain, there are many Bernini touches in the fountain as it was built. An early, striking and influential model by Pietro da Cortona, preserved in the Albertina, Vienna, also exists, as do various early 18th century sketches, most unsigned, as well as a project attributed to Nicola Michetti[5] one attributed to Ferdinando Fuga[6] and a French design by Edme Bouchardon.[7]
Competitions had become the rage during the Baroque era to design buildings, fountains, and even the Spanish Steps. In 1730 Pope Clement XII organized a contest in which Nicola Salvi initially lost to Alessandro Galilei — but due to the outcry in Rome over the fact that a Florentine won, Salvi was awarded the commission anyway.[8] Work began in 1732, and the fountain was completed in 1762, long after Clement's death, when Pietro Bracci's Oceanus (god of all water) was set in the central niche.
Salvi died in 1751, with his work half-finished, but before he went he made sure a stubborn barber's unsightly sign would not spoil the ensemble, hiding it behind a sculpted vase, called by Romans the asso di coppe, "the "Ace of Cups".
The Trevi Fountain was finished in 1762 by Giuseppe Pannini, who substituted the present allegories for planned sculptures of Agrippa and "Trivia", the Roman virgin.
The fountain was refurbished in 1998; the stonework was scrubbed and the fountain provided with recirculating pumps.
The backdrop for the fountain is the Palazzo Poli, given a new facade with a giant order of Corinthian pilasters that link the two main stories. Taming of the waters is the theme of the gigantic scheme that tumbles forward, mixing water and rockwork, and filling the small square. Tritons guide Oceanus' shell chariot, taming hippocampi.
In the center is superimposed a robustly modelled triumphal arch. The center niche or exedra framing Oceanus has free-standing columns for maximal light-and-shade. In the niches flanking Oceanus, Abundance spills water from her urn and Salubrity holds a cup from which a snake drinks. Above, bas reliefs illustrate the Roman origin of the aqueducts.
The tritons and horses provide symmetrical balance, with the maximum contrast in their mood and poses (by 1730, rococo was already in full bloom in France and Germany).
A traditional legend holds that if visitors throw a coin into the fountain, they are ensured a return to Rome.[9] Among those who are unaware that the "three coins" of Three Coins in the Fountain were thrown by three different individuals, a reported current interpretation is that two coins will lead to a new romance and three will ensure either a marriage or divorce. A reported current version of this legend is that it is lucky to throw three coins with one's right hand over one's left shoulder into the Trevi Fountain.
An estimated 3,000 euros are thrown into the fountain each day.[10] The money has been used to subsidize a supermarket for Rome's needy.[10] However, there are regular attempts to steal coins from the fountain.[10][11][12]
The Trevi fountain is featured in Respighi's symphonic pictures Fontane di Roma, and was the setting for an iconic scene in Federico Fellini's film La dolce vita starring Anita Ekberg and Marcello Mastroianni. The fountain was turned off and draped in black in honor of Mastroianni after the actor's death in 1996. Part of the fountain is replicated at the Italy Pavilion at Epcot in Walt Disney World, USA.

A strange situation has developed in my new condominium community that makes me feel like I'm back in 7th grade. I'm one of five people on the advisory board, which was just formed two months ago. A person who is not on the board, but whose spouse heads up the board, showed up at our last meeting and announced that s/he was going to assume the secretary's duties, relieving the official secretary of her job.
We committee members were stunned. There had been no discussion beforehand, there wasn't even a hint that this was even a consideration. We were all so stunned that we said nothing.
It wasn't until after the meeting that we had a chance to discuss this among ourselves, and then we weren't pleased that this person had in fact, bullied his/her way into the meeting. And when the minutes arrived in our inboxes the next day, they were poorly written, rambling, and full of inaccuracies. And they were to be posted in the community clubhouse that way! That was when we knew we had to speak up.
So we got together to compose a tactful and polite email about limiting the meeting to board members only, asking that the secretary resume her duties, and that the minutes be amended, and then we sent it to the head of the committee. That, apparently, made both husband and wife angry, and now we have a "situation" in the neighborhood where they are basically asking people to choose sides. How juvenile.
The whole situation reminds me of problems in the schoolyard. Someone doesn't get their way, so they throw a tantrum. As adults, shouldn't we be above these tactics? Shouldn't board members work together to make the community a better place to live, not work against each other in order to accomplish their own agendas?
Have you ever had a situation like this? How did you handle it?

Sorry, no etymologies found.
The bodies, partly covered by bales of straw, and some half-clothed, were found near the border with Jalisco state.
During one of their walks a poor cot in the foldings of a vale attracted their notice, as being singularly disconsolate, while the number of half-clothed children gathered about it, spoke of penury in its worst shape.
Maybe holding hands or acting as if they'd never met, pulling on shorts, or unabashedly half-clothed.
Whenever she points out half-clothed young men, muscles taut and shining with sweat—at the gym, at the park, doing yard work in the neighborhood—I chastely smile and laugh, slap her arm and call her bad.
It's a masterpiece of Americana at is finest: a portrait of John Lennon; a young Jackson Browne on tour; Bob Dylan in Hollywood watering his grass; a half-clothed Divine in his dressing room; Richard Nixon's resignation captured on a television, Bette Midler in a bed of roses; Tammy Wynette holding her baby, a big Cadillac behind her; Vietnam veteran Ron Kovic; the Rolling Stones on stage.

Spider-Man Homecoming
Damn, Marvel, you got it right again. The smartest thing Sony did was keep the rights, but let Marvel take the leading role creatively. (I also think Sony now shares the merchandising rights with Marvel.) We got to see a sneak peak into the new Spider-Man character in Civil War and I loved it. Here he gets his first movie set in the Marvel universe (will there be shout-outs to Luke Cage and DD?). The trailer seems to carry over the troll-ish behavior of the Amazing Spider-Man and the humor of the first two Spider-Man movies. Will there be a mixture of Ultimate Spider-Man in there too?
Good stuff, Marvel. DC, get your act together.
Yeah, the trailer made me smile.
-Space Age technology from the robbers: Hmm, I am guessing this will play a bigger role in the plot of the movie. These aren't your normal thieves, except with their Avengers masks, which is very amusing.
-Nerd Awkwardness: This seems so real to me. Yes, I was that awkward nerd/geek that would stare at the girl of my dreams...from a distance in high school. That clip seems like a teen comedy doesn't it?
-Tony Stark being a father-figure and a dick: Pure, Robert Downey Jr. I love it. He's the connection to the overall Marvel universe. Plus, Jon Favreau is Happy again. I am really looking forward to this relationship. Plus, we get Iron-Man in a suit with Spider-Man. Great team-up awaits us.
-Michael Keaton as the Bad guy: We're getting dark Keaton. He seems to be channeling a blue collar type villain. I like that Batman is now a bad guy. Remember, Keaton was very much a comedic actor early in his career.

Mountain King Carbon Compact 2010
Mountain King Carbon Compact poles are made in the UK – unlike most others, which are made in the Far East. As the name suggests this model has carbon pole sections to reduce weight, and at just 404g per pair they won't weigh you down. The poles are locked in place with the useful twist-lock internal mechanism, while the lower two sections are treated with a friction-enhancing coating. This certainly makes it easy to adjust the pole length with cold wet hands, in my experience. The main grip of the pole is cushioning EVA, which is very comfortable. The wrist loop is padded too for further comfort. Reflective stitching means you can more easily spot someone using them, or find them in a dark tent. The other big bonus is the packed length, as these are easily short enough to stash on the side of your rucksack when scrambling. But there is no anti-shock device in the Carbon Compact, although Mountain King does make versions with anti-shock such as the Super Trekker Compact. Some poles use external locking systems rather than internal expansion bolts, which may perform better in the long term. Some poles have handles that are tilted to allow for a more natural arm position. Not a lot wrong here, though.
Handle EVA
Shaft 7001 alloy wrapped in carbon fibre
Max length 125cm
Min length 60cm
Weight 404g per pair
Made in UK
Stores in the UK no info provided
The Mountain King Carbon Compact is a superb pole that is light and compact, and easier to adjust thanks to the treatment on the lower sections. Highly recommended for Trail readers.

I think we've all had some sort of feeling towards our high school friends, it's only normal. Usually guys fall in love with girls in high school, so to same happens to us, except, you know, most of the time we make the mistake of having a crush on a straight guy (which has happened to me hundreds of times).
"Were you molested?" What an awful question. Nobody has ever asked me that. I do get a lot of people asking if I'm bisexual. And I say no, why would I be bisexual, I just said homosexual, wasn't that clear enough for you?
And Roman, I'm sure if you say you're bisexual no one ever asks you if that means you are homosexual.
by ThatGuyRoman » Sun Dec 16, 2012 7:10 pmI never say I'm bi, I just say I'm gay. It's just easier that way, and it's the closest to the truth anyway.
But yeah, I've gotten the "are you sure?" question a lot from family, as if I'm suddenly confused as to where I plan to place my dick on a regular basis.
by ThatGuyRoman » Sun Dec 16, 2012 7:15 pmI try to encourage a healthy dialogue of questions if it helps people, but sadly, most questions end up being pretty fucking stupid.
Like, REALLY fucking stupid.

"I want to place my dick in a guy's ass."
(In a game show host voice) "Are you sure?"
by Arion » Mon Dec 17, 2012 7:10 pm
I think we all know where to place our dicks... in our underwear - ba-da-bang!
I hate stupid questions and for some reason I've been asked, at least a dozen of times, if I'm a top or a bottom. Every time I tell someone I'm gay I get the same question. It's not even funny anymore.
by ThatGuyRoman » Mon Dec 17, 2012 8:14 pm
Never been asked that one by a straight person, but yes, I could see that being awkward.
by TheSecondLex » Mon Dec 17, 2012 10:07 pmhere's a puzzler, at least for me. Like three years ago when I had come back gome from college and reconnected with some old friends and made new ones, you know how it goes, we were at my buddy's house one night sitting around playing Poker and it just came up (that's what she said! heyo!) and these guys, hard guy, you know, caterpillar boots, camo hats, Dodge trucks with tires up to your boogers, take days off to go hunting, tough guys, real salt of the earth (redneck? eh its where I'm from lol)...they were all, to a one, okay. "That's cool man."
not supportive, b/c that's not their way, but merely okay with it. As were my parents years before when I came out to them. I had been kinda pissed off that it worked out so well for me--years of watching Cleveland football, for instance, has taught me to prepare for he other shoe dropping--but there was none of that. It was astounding. No one kicked me out, no one was like 'ew gross' or 'omygawdhowcouldyou' (well, one fat chick I knew in HS, but that's whatever). It was supremely weird and welcoming.
I almost feel bad there was no drama. Queer as Folk would be appalled lol
by TheSecondLex » Tue Dec 18, 2012 10:11 pmAlso: True Tales of Hook-up Sadness:
straight boys. With girlfriends. I almost feel bad.
wait, Amendment:
"straight." Take that, society.
by Arion » Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:49 pm
That's a great anecdote. I guess that just proves you never know how people will react. Honestly I'm surprised to see they took it so well. I remember I had to sort of "explain" what did it mean that I was gay to some of my friends.
Every time I get asked the same question, you have no idea how many times. It really makes me as angry as the Hulk on a bad day. Lucky you (but I guess you get even weirder questions).
by ThatGuyRoman » Wed Dec 19, 2012 3:22 pmPeople are usually too busy asking me stupid questions about my ethnicity to bother asking me about my sexual preferences.
by ThatGuyRoman » Wed Dec 19, 2012 3:23 pm
That how it was with my siblings, I mean, there were a few awkward questions but it was pretty much "Oh. Okay."
My folks on the other hand ... yeah ...
by ThatGuyRoman » Wed Dec 19, 2012 3:25 pmA lot of times girls (at least girls in this terrible city) refuse to believe I am gay and just think I am saying I am gay to get out of talking to them.
Which ... isn't totally incorrect, but it is annoying to have keep repeating one self to the point where, even if you weren't gay, you'd strongly consider trying if it would get them to leave you alone...
by Timbales » Wed Dec 19, 2012 3:25 pmmy brother was pretty much convinced it was a phase, that was over 20 years ago
i wonder if he still thinks it's a phase? not that I care, he'd a dick
by Arion » Thu Dec 20, 2012 5:02 pm
Maybe you should convince your brother that he is the one going through a phase... the heterosexual phase. I've heard is quite a nasty phase that left unattended can generate some serious consequences.
I'd rather have questions about my ethnicity. Why can't I have your good luck?

I've already told you a bit about Lucio Mandura, but I thought I'd share a little bit more. (The bulk of this story was written by Maureen Goal, a volunteer with Heifer Peru.)
Lucio Mandura Crispin (40) lives with his wife, Sebastiana Pacce Jora (36) and their five children, Justa Martina (14), Celia (12), Jose (9) and Vilma (3, also known as "The Queen of the House." Lucio and his family lived in a small Quechua-speaking community in the barren Peruvian Andes. The Crispin family lives in the community of Fundo Tumpata, Pacchanta, which is about three hours by car from Cusco. The village is approximately 13,000 feet above sea level. Traditionally the harsh environment could only support potatoes and the wild grasses eaten by alpacas and llamas. Recently, though, Lucio began to experiment with greenhouses for growing vegetables and fruit, and experimenting with improving the genetic make-up of his alpacas and pastures (both sparked by Heifer's help over the past two years. He also has a biogas unit (a nice thing about alpacas is that they tend to poop in the same place over and over, which makes collecting it pretty easy).
|Lucio's herd of female alpacas.
Today, the majority of the family's income comes from selling the improved alpacas and vegetables. Although his wife mainly works at home and weaves crafts, and the children attend school, the whole family participates in the housework and work with the alpacas and greenhouse. Despite the rigorous work, the family's overall nutrition has improved. Before Heifer's involvement–combined with the family's hard work and initiative–the family's life was difficult and impoverished. This was back when they were beholden to the alpaca wool factories, before Lucio's experimentation and greenhouse.
|Lucio shows us a sub-par alpaca.
This animal has three colors of wool on its body.
As the alpaca wool industry burgeoned in Peru, factories became increasingly interested in only purchasing white alpaca wool since it is easier to dye. Following the market's demand, small alpaca breeders have bred out the darker animals. However, it is the darker animals that have better wool and are more resilient to the harsh conditions of the Andes. Heifer is helping reverse this trend and to bring purebred, colored alpacas back into the region.
Now the family has about 100 alpacas, of which 20 are "competition caliber" due to their improved genetic makeup. The rest are still "intermediates," signifying they still have llama-like qualities. The family sells their competition-caliber sires in addition to entering them in contests, because "this is where the money is."
These improved alpacas not only come from better breeding methods, a skill first introduced to Lucio in Heifer workshops. In total, Lucio has learned from Heifer how to improve his alpaca herd through trainings on controlled mating and care for pregnant alpacas, how to improve the cultivated grasses the alpacas eat, and more sustainable grazing methods.
|This is one of Lucio's prize-winning alpacas.
Her wool is dark, thick and curly,
all desirable traits.
In addition to receiving a pair of colored male alpacas of improved genetic quality from Heifer, Lucio received cultivated grass seeds to improve his pastures. Lucio said, "Now I have separate corrals for the fathers and the offspring," which is a much better and more secure breeding method. He also now has well-marked pastures that he uses on a rotating scheme to graze his alpacas. He is currently making his own investment of $364 to buy his own pasture seeds.

I am so excited about this layout as I just LOVE LOVE LOVE the House of Roses paper collection from Lemoncraft, it is completely gorgeous!
I could not wait to great creative when I received my new Lemoncraft goodies!
This is a layout using a photo from my oldest daughters senior photo session (my where has the time gone)! The House Of Roses collection paired wonderfully with the photo and allowed my to create that vintage shabby chic look I was going for. As always once I had all my supplies selected and scattered about my desk for my layout, I began layering and distressing using my Ingvild Bolme distress tool. I added coordinating paper behind the layout so that I could peel back the paper and expose the coordinating paper. I love doing this because it not only adds dimension, but also it gives it a more tattered and weathered look which you will see in all my creations as that is a favorite technique of mine!
When I received this collection one thing I knew I wanted to do right away was cut the wood patterned paper into strips to make it look more like individual weathered barn wood. I cut them into different lengths and shapes at the end to look more realistic as old barn wood varies in shapes and sizes. I them used my Ingvild Bolme edger ink in dry sand to ink the edges to make them stand out more.
I loved all the floral patterns to the paper and wanted to incorporate as much as I could to my layout, so I also fussy cut some roses to include at the edges of my layering. Lastly I added a random white picket fence I had in my stash, along with some random Prima roses I also had in my leftover stash. I finished off the florals with a leaf flourish stamp from heartfelt creations.
Once I felt my layout was complete, I used my Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Tattered Rose with a sponge to lightly ink around my layers to add dimension as well as give it a distressed, aged look. Finally I used some white acrylic paint to white wash over my layers and florals to give it a muted toned down look.
Thank you for looking, if you have any questions please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. I love reading your comments, so please let me know what you think, I hope my layout was helpful and you were able to find some inspiration for your own creation!

This is a blog primarily for the IIT Kanpur community. Will talk about what has been happening around here.
Monday, June 1, 2015
Quality of Professors at IITK
The Institute sets up a selection committee which looks at the performance of all applicants and decide whose performance is good enough to be given this financial upgradation. This process is supposed to take place every year, and the financial upgradation happens from 1st August of that year.
For some reason or the other, it had not happened since Prof. Manna became Director, and for August 2013, it happened a few months ago.
Here are the statistics. Applicants considered by selection committee were 30. (There were more eligible professors, but some may not have applied, or some may not have been recommended by their respective departments.) The number of vacancies (that is, the maximum number of professors who could have possibly received this financial upgradation) was about 20.
Number of professors who were selected by the selection committee was one. Yes, just ONE. (And interestingly, this professor is retiring in two years. Now, we have an unwritten rule that professors who are about to retire and are technically eligible will be given this financial upgradation. So it is not clear whether this professor too got the financial upgradation on the basis of his performance.)
What does this say about the quality of IIT Kanpur faculty when a selection committee finds that pretty much no professor has been performing well after becoming a Professor. (The selection committee is expected to look at only the performance after becoming the professor, with a particular focus on last 5 years of performance.) And these professors are from across the departments. So it is not that some departments are doing well.
I can not possibly fault the selection committee as the bar in the country's best institution has to be kept high. But if the faculty performance is so poor with respect to whatever bar a selection committee sets, I think we all need to do an introspection as to how our performance can become higher. Being a government institute with "permanent" jobs, one does not have the luxury of removing non-performing faculty and recruit others. So the leadership will have to find ways to motivate faculty members. May be there are some structural issues which can be dealt with and which are coming in the way of higher performance. But poor performance by faculty is a sure way of an institution going down. And this can not be allowed to happen.
1 comment:
Dear Prof. Sanghi,ReplyDelete
Do you seriously think faculty members can be motivated to do good research? I think not. No one can be motivated to do good research. It is an innate quality. There are so many open problems out in the field that anyone with grit and above average level of intelligence can do excellent research. The results might not be earth shattering but atleast they will be good. It all boils down to self motivation.
Do you think that IITX faculty aren't motivated today and the system kills their motivation since the time of hire?
I do hope that the above answer is false and it is highly likely that some other structural issues are hindering their performance. I am curious about the these potential issues particularly related to theoretical/computational/semi experimental areas.
Best Regards,
Thanks as always for the insightful articles.

In 1911, A.E.H. Love formulated and solved equations governing the linear elastic deformation of planetary bodies due to tidal forces. In this talk, we show how modern computing capabilities reveal unstable behavior in Love's tidal model. We also extend his tidal model to include bodies of radially varying density and elastic properties.
Within the linear elastic framework, one cannot adequately explore the singular solutions. A nonlinear elastic model of the self gravitational deformation of a spherical body is posed. Analyzing spherical harmonic perturbations to this model allows us to explore the stability of the tidal problem. Solving the nonlinear elastic model requires a numerical method for a system of two nonlinear, integro-differential equations with a highly non-local sixth integral term.

The target audience for this course is engineers and managers with limited CFD knowledge who are interested or considering to incorporate CFD in their design practices.
Experimental and theoretical (analytical) fluid dynamics were two widely practiced branches before 1970s and 1980s. Theoretical fluid dynamics involves solution of differential equations while Experimental fluid dynamics involves building a physical model and testing that model in a wind tunnel or other facilities. However, with advent of digital computer, a third approach was born.
The differential equations describing fluid dynamics problems are generally a system of non-linear partial differential equations with irregular boundaries, which are often too difficult to solve without the aid of computers. Additionally, experimental fluid dynamics often has to deal with challenges such as instrumentation, intrusive measurements, testing at small scale, high cost of model and testing, long fabrication lead-time, and limited information.
CFD is computer-based simulation of predicting what will happen when fluids (gases & liquids) flow and complements experimental and analytical approaches by providing an alternative cost-effective mean of simulating real-life flow problems.
CFD has now become a leading research, educational, and design tool. It is being used to better understand physical events and processes and perform numerical experiments (analogous to wind tunnel tests). As an education tool, CFD is used to understand concepts of fluid flow and expose students to expanded range of flow problems. Most importantly, CFD has now become a design tool by providing capabilities to facilitate design optimization, reduce design bottlenecks and improve engineering performance, enhance communications, and answer what-if questions.
CFD has become an essential tool to predict fluid motion, which may include heat and mass transfer, phase change, and mechanical movement of boundaries. CFD is now routinely used to solve complex flow problems in the aerospace, automotive, chemical, electronics, environmental, biomedical industries.

The middle school at Louisville Classical Academy is characterized by active classroom discussion, generally around a single table, and by frequent writing assignments. As a result, LCA's middle school produces students of intellectual maturity, ready to make the most of a college preparatory upper school. Where students need support in their social and emotional maturation, our staff works closely with families in devising interventions that extend our curricular work with moral principles into the realm of behavior and peer relations. The advanced program is designed for accelerated learning and has eight areas of emphasis: English, mathematics, science, classical languages, music, history, foundations, and art.
A classical liberal arts education is defined by the quality of the authors and books around which the curriculum is designed, as well as a recognition that those which have been tested by time and the probing of great minds – enduring texts – deserve priority. LCA is distinguished by the quality of the reading selections, which includes a wide variety of classic and contemporary books and stories.
In classic seminar style, the students sit around a common table and the learning experience is based on well-formed conversation among a small group led by an expert teacher. Students learn to share their ideas and to respond to what others have said in a relaxed and supportive setting. They are encouraged to maintain an attitude of naivete, allowing thoughts to evolve, but also taught to support their assertions with evidence and to expect others to do the same. The students learn that good questions can be the most helpful way to advance dialogue.
LCA teachers encourage students to ask questions, think deeply, and develop their own ideas about what they read. This collaborative, discussion-based method is called Shared Inquiry and has been developed, refined, and advocated by the Great Books Foundation for more than sixty years. The method enables students to explore the ideas, meaning, and information found in everything they read. Shared Inquiry centers on interpretive questions that have more than one plausible answer. Instead of presenting the "right answer," teachers guide students in reaching their own interpretations securely grounded in the text and understanding the interpretations of others. Teachers do this by expressing their own curiosity about the selections, posing questions to get students to base their ideas on evidence in the text, and following up with additional questions. Excellent critical-thinking skills develop naturally in the seminar classes, as the students learn to communicate ideas with clarity. Composition develops fluency and correctness as students cultivate an authentic writers voice. All students will develop enhanced skills in reading comprehension, critical thinking, and written expression.
In math, students will be placed at the appropriate level in the Singapore Math curriculum in preparation for algebra, typically by grade 7 or 8. Taught by subject-matter experts who are dedicated to promoting masterful students, Louisville Classical Academy's interactive tutorials in mathematics enable students to benefit from a combination of group instruction and individualized attention. Because students learn math skills at different rates, students are grouped, generally speaking, according to skill level rather than by age or grade. Upon completion of the Singapore Math series, middle-school students begin Prealgebra, Algebra I, and Geometry.
Latin and Greek are the ultimate tools in developing minds that are agile, observant, analytical, logical and perceptive. Students who enter LCA in middle school begin their study of classical languages in multi-grade, introductory classes.
The study of science at LCA promotes conceptual understanding, laboratory experience, and factual knowledge, as well as a lifelong appreciation of the natural world. Scientific literacy and critical thinking skills are emphasized. New laboratory equipment and furnishings enable students to engage deeply in the subject areas through a hands-on, guided-inquiry approach. Middle-school students complete a course of study that includes life science, physical science, and Earth science.
The study of music and art continues with a closer look at their place in our intellectual history. Students gather each week to develop vocal skills in choir. Students sing songs from the classical music canon, as well as popular songs. The LCA choirs perform together at our Winter Concert and our Spring Program. In Music Fundamentals, students work on listening to, reading, analyzing music. They also create music and study music history, including the great classical repertoire that includes opera, symphonies, jazz, and bluegrass.
In the Art program students will work on developing fundamental understanding of form and design, students work on building foundational skills of drawing, composition, color, and perspective. Exploration of form, meaning, and production are valuable elements of art education. Each term students focus on a particular genre or form of art, including, photography, printmaking, drawing, and painting.
A classical education is rich in the knowledge of history, as a requisite of cultural literacy and a necessary component of critical thinking skills. It feels good to know things, to satisfy curiosity, to make connections. Middle-school students have a native pleasure in knowledge is nurtured by teachers who share it. Classical education's emphasis on general knowledge is affirmed by modern research which shows its critical role in cultural literacy, a requisite of communication and participation in our society. It is not enough to learn how to learn; the best learning outcomes also require that much be learned. Critical thinking is a goal of every educational approach, but classical educators recognize that critical thinking is very much dependent on knowledge. Research in cognitive psychology further affirms the critical role of background knowledge in reading comprehension and writing fluency. LCA immerses its students in a knowledge-rich environment shaped by teachers who share a passion for lifelong learning. Connecting past and present and building connections in a multitude of ways help students to gain knowledge of political, philosophical, social, economic, and scientific phenomena.

Subrogation Attorney Columbus, OH
At the law office of Brian G. Miller Co., L.P.A., in Columbus, Ohio, we provide expert legal assistance for clients who have been involved in subrogation claims. Subrogation in a legal context relates to the right of one person to substitute into the place of another to pursue recovery of monies or some other claim. This can apply to many areas such as car accidents, uninsured motorists' claims, properly losses, and the like. Typically, especially in the context of auto accidents and other personal injury claims, one insurance company is attempting to make a recovery from another insurance company. For instance, if a health insurance company has made payments toward the medical bills of an auto accident victim, that health insurance company would typically have a right to pursue a subrogation claim, in order to be reimbursed for any amounts it paid, from a potential settlement involving the automobile liability insurance carrier for the at-fault driver.
At Miller Law, we have experience in negotiating subrogation interests from the perspective of each of the parties involved. We can assist with best positioning your interests for recovery.
Attorney Brian G. Miller has years of experience in managing subrogation claims from the perspective of his injured clients. Such clients benefit when subrogation claims are minimized because their net recovery will increase. Brian Miller's trusted experience as a lawyer has allowed him the opportunity to represent insurance companies and other parties with respect to subrogation interests. These clients' goal is to maximize their subrogation recovery amount. Because of his perspective gained from arguing both sides of the issues involved, Mr. Miller has developed an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses that the respective parties may have, given the facts involved. Often these matters involve an effective analysis of how to most efficiently resolve issues while minimizing costs and increasing net recovery. Again, experience plays a key role in the ability to do this.
An understanding of the law and the leverage it may create for one side or the other is also critical. In Ohio for instance, the essential elimination of the make-whole doctrine has strengthened insurance companies' abilities to recover on subrogation claims. Subrogation rights are typically founded in contractual language and/or statutory law. Experience assists with an understanding of the rights created under such contract language and laws. An understanding of the interrelationship between state law and federal law is also something Miller Law can provide.
Most states differ in their particular subrogation laws, so it is important to choose a lawyer well-versed in local laws. Our experience with local laws and with the local courts also enable us to serve effectively as local counsel for out-of-the-area attorneys who need assistance with claims filed in and around Columbus, Ohio.
If you are in need of a trusted, respected, and experienced subrogation attorney serving the Columbus, Ohio area, contact Miller Law at 614-221-4035.

Hello everyone!
I post this entry to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I hope you make the most of these days, find time to relax, switch off, spend time with the family, travel, and start the New Year with renewed energy!
I guess (and hope!) you all know the history of Christmas. Last year around these dates I found this digital version of the story on the Internet and I wanted to share it with you. It's so good!
I would also like you to find some time to revise English (watch films, series; check links on the blog; read, etc.). Remember also that on the 16th we have the test of Dracula. When we come back from Christmas Leah will do an activity with you to remember the main events in the book (that is what will be on the test, not specific details).
See you on the 9th January then! :)

The British Film Institute (BFI) has announced its new five-year strategy, which responds to the comments of the national consultation carried out earlier this year.
BFI2022 will operate between 2017-2022 and is based on three key priorities:
- Talent – Developing more creative filmmaking across different platforms, and financing emerging talent from outside of London.
- Learning – A 10-year skills strategy with Creative Skillset, a manifesto for film in the classroom and a commitment to diversity.
- Audiences – Grow engagement for young audiences, digitise archive British TV content, and launch a public searchable database of British film.
How does BFI2022 affect Film Hubs?
- The different Film Hubs around around the country will each take a lead role in targeting particular audiences, or running particular strands.
- Talent executives will be posted to various locations in England to help filmmakers develop ideas and assist with distribution support.
- A simple, more accessible Audience Fund, able to support distributors, exhibitors, festivals, multi-year projects and strategic partners has been created.
- Greater devolution of decision-making and funding.
We'll update you on the finer details of these changes and what it means for Film Hub South East members when more information is available.
Improvements in diversity representation
The BFI's CEO Amanda Nevill attended This Way Up conference in Glasgow on 30 November to present the strategy. In a summary of Nevill's talk on The Bigger Picture website, Tara Judah noted: "Perhaps the most significant thing of all is that everyone – across the entire country – cited diversity as the biggest problem in the survey and, looking around the room, this is visibly evident. And so, what I think we can look forward to most is positive change in visible diversity onscreen, in the classroom, in cinemas and next year."
Get in touch with questions
Thank you from all of us at Film Hub South East for your energy and engagement with all your projects we've been involved with so far. We're looking forward to continuing working with you over the coming year.
If you have any questions about the strategy, please email us.
You can read the full BFI2022 strategy on the BFI website.

DescriptionRachel Broadview discovers that the name of her great-grandmother was in a book about the Bermuda Triangle, and decides to go there to uncover the secrets hidden inside the many shipwrecks of the mysterious region.
Lost Secrets: Bermuda Triangle is a hidden object game. Like all games of this genre, the main objective is to scour a picture from a location littered with things, looking for the objects from a list placed at the right side of the screen.
There are some bonus games between the chapters. One is a mini-submarine puzzle, where the objective is to guide the vessel through a coral labyrinth, collecting treasure chests while avoiding collision with the power cord and dead ends. Another is a simplified tile-matching game, where in a grid filled with symbols at least two tiles have to be connected by color or shape, anywhere in a straight line, to make them disappear and clear the background.
A hint button is provided at the top of the list, that makes the cursor gem change color when near one of the required objects, while depleting its energy. The button slowly starts to refill from the moment the object is found.

A Note From the Editor:
By Mary K Weinhagen
Ahhh… contentment. A perfect me vacillates between passion… where energy is high; good, fast feelings are flowing, desire is summoning through me LOTS of energy with no resistance to it's flow… and peacefulness, contentment, where there's not much desire but no resistance ruffling the waters. A friend recently asked, "If you had all the money in the world & all the time in the world (really)… what would you do with your money & time (really)?"

Four million hits and counting ……..What is there to say that I have not said on other aniversay editions of The Magic Happens Magazine? This one is different to say the least. It is not the first year, nor is it the second, we are starting our fourth year of operation of this free magazine. I wish to take a moment to thank all of you the readers for hanging with us. I would love to thank you all personally but since I do not know all your names, I will leave that up to each of you to grab your own thank you.
A Note From Kat:
By Kathleen Anne McCarthy
It's been an interesting year. I've done a lot of interesting things; some expected some not so expected. All of it has been an adventure though some things were more comfortable then other. One thing I've learned this year is that when I put my mind to it, I can do almost anything. I can even be my own lawyer. Though I suppose I should tell that story from the beginning but where do I start really? Where is the beginning? When I was born? LOL No, I won't bore you with my life story.
Summer Feature: Being Content
Wayne is Being Content, in this Moment
By Wayne Parker
The other day I was reading that our brain can store somewhere in the vicinity of 280 quintillion bits of information. That is 280 with 18 zeros behind it. Talk about one huge hard drive we have at our finger tips at any given moment. When we access our brain, we do so at a faster speed than any other computer existing currently on this planet, whether we know we are accessing it or not. We all or at least most of us have only one brain that basically consists (for the purpose of this article) of two different areas, our conscious and our sub conscious minds.

Being Content? What's the Deal?
By Kat McCarthy
What most of us are seeking in our lives is more happiness and to find that, we must first become content. It appears hardly possible to be happy and discontent at the same time. My conclusion is that happiness is intricately entwined with being content with the life we lead, so finding contentment is job one to finding more happiness. "There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way." ~An old Buddhist quote. (Approximately)

10 Commandments To Create Contentment
By Peter Grun
It's easy to say that we should all be content where we are but there are times and situations when it is difficult to feel content. Being content is a moment to moment decision, some moments being more difficult then others. So how does one learn to be content in their present life situation? There are conditions that are ripe for creating contentment in each person's life. We can use these common conditions to practice being content and over time, that feeling of being content will spill out into the rest of life.

The Big Exhale
By Bob Rush
The status of my life has been on my mind every since I retired from corporate world. Many people asked me, "So what are you going to do now?" – with an emphasis on another corporate or office gig. Yikes. When I retired I asked a dear friend if she knew of any barn jobs available. Due to the fact that I love horses (Duh!) I felt that this would be a good break. After all when it gets down to it, I really hated my job. I performed, of course, because it paid the bills and allowed myself and my wife to attempt to run a training and boarding operation on our own. OK – you ask, what the heck does this have to do with being contented. I'm getting there – just wait for the 1812 overture. My friend needed help in her stable doing odd jobs – mucking, riding, mowing etc. Woohoo – love the universe – I landed on my feet. Granted this does not pay a heck of a lot but…

If Issues Were Tissues, I'd Have A Whole Box
By Katheleen Anne McCarthy
When I was a young adult, people really bugged me. It bothered me that other people were different then me. How dare they? After all, people that were different than me weren't doing what I thought they aught to be doing. (For those of you who know me, I get that it would be a sad place if everyone was as messed up as I was back then, but I didn't see it at the time.) I knew what I knew and no one else was as smart as me.

An 8.5 Day
By Wayne Parker
Everything is made of energy in some way shape or form. From the tallest mountain, to distant stars, to the smallest atom we are still talking about energy. One question that I have always asked of myself is; how am I feeling? This is just a personal thing and helps determine my next steps in a day, hour or single moment. It helps me keep my energy levels in check at any given time. Nearing the end of most days while doing my appreciations and gratitude's for that day I have a general sense of where my energy was that particular day and mull over the choices I made in relationship to my energy.
Concert Flameout
By Wayne Parker
I spoke earlier about a concert I attended and considering it was $40.00, there were five groups playing there. To me that was a real steal considering the names playing on that day. In most cases today it is real hard to find any semi big name groups that you get a ticket for that good price, even in the cheap seats. I remember way back in the summer of love paying $6.00 for a concert for Diana Ross and the Supremes. All be it a great concert for a 13 year old, it was really expensive for the day. As time moved forward, I remember paying up as high as three dollars for the hottest groups in Canada and still found it steep.

Wayne's Blast from the Past: Darly Place
By Wayne Parker
Darly place is where I co-habbitated with a few friends back in the mid seventies in the city of Ottawa Canada Actually it was a house, and given the day, it was quite a house valued at some $90,000 at the time. Remember we are speaking of the mid seventies here. It was a three bedroom living room, kitchen and full basement. The grounds were fenced, trees in front and even a stone pond in the front yard. How cool it was that I was invited after college through an eventually long life friend to be a part of this household. We were renters, paying a whopping sum back then of $400.00 rent but split 4 ways it was only $100.00 each. Add in a communal fridge and kitchen, the food bill was another $100.00 each per month. So for basically $200.00 I could eat and live, having friends around all the time. This seemed to jive with me totally in that moment.

Naturally Confident Kids
By Mary K Weinhagen
It has occurred to me for quite a while that the notion of "parenting" and how it is acted out in today's society is a bit 'off' from being the real "guardians" that I speculate we really intended to be for the young ones in our lives. A GUARDIANS job is simply to GUIDE. As parents we develop habits of thought that take us so far beyond the idea of guidance that it seems in many ways, we set ourselves up as a hindrance to our child/ren. Yesterday I came across an interesting article called 7 Attributes of the Truly Confident Person by Elaine Sihera. It's a great article, yet as I was reading about the seven attributes she proposes, it occurred to me that most children, left to their own devices, are that!

What Now?
By David Franklin Farkas
We see life as a novel, with a beginning and an ending and a story that flows reasonably and understandably between them in a fairly predictable way. In reality, life is a series of only loosely related short stories…'Truth is stranger than fiction, but that is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't' ~ Mark Twain About ten years ago my family experienced a period of over a year of one awful event after another. It reminded me of the children's book, 'Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.'

As I sit and write my TV is in front of me. It is not on because our controller has recently died, and the thought of actually standing up to turn the TV on seems like too much of an effort right now! For those who blame the sofa for the laziness and obesity epidemics in our world today, try looking to our much loved television controller instead…….
The Lazy Bones
Though television did not really enter most our homes until the early 1950s, the idea of a useful electronic remote control had been around for a while. In 1939 Philco had brought out a 'Mystery' Radio controller box that could be connected by wire to your radio to adjust the volume and tuning. It was just a giant dial on top of a wooden box but it was pretty popular and also not unique as other companies had also produced wired adjustors that worked with each of their sets prior to the Mystery box. With the advent of Television a similar lazy controller seemed a natural accessory to invent.
The first dedicated TV remote control was aptly called the 'Lazy Bones' and was produced and sold by the American firm Zenith between 1950-55. It was basically two buttons on a wire that could be plugged into one of their TV sets to remotely change the channel as well as turn the set on or off. The controller ran a motor in the TV which adjusted the tuning dial. There was no great technical wizardry, but amazingly the marketing people were still able to charge $30 for it (on top of the price of a TV set) and it seemed to sell well. In today's money that would equal spending $300 just on your remote control- ouch! The biggest problem though was the annoying wire trailing across your living room and causing a trip hazard. Therefore the designers at Zenith were set the task to come up with a wireless solution instead.
The Flash-Matic
In 1955 Zenith was to release the world's first wireless TV remote control called the 'Flash-Matic'. It was designed by an engineer called Eugene Polly and though the hand-held unit was little more than a small green flash-light, by ingeniously building light sensors into the corners of the TV, the viewer could turn the set on or off and adjust the channels. While the invention seemed a clever idea in principle, in reality the sensors were far too sensitive and ambient light in the room could also trip the sensors by mistake.
Therefore Zenith went back to the drawing boards. They liked the idea of using radio waves but because these could travel through walls and over long distances, they were worried your neighbour might inadvertently be able to control your set. Audible sound waves were also discussed, but again they worried some people might get annoyed by its pitch. In the end an engineer named Robert Adler came up with an ingenious solution that used ultra-sonic (inaudible) sound waves instead.
The Space Command
In 1956 the 'Space Command 200' was unveiled. It had two buttons which when each pressed would cause two rods of metal to hit each other. By adjusting the rod length on each button this created different tones which a sensor on the front of the TV set would be able to interpret. The unit was both clever and cost effective as it did not need batteries to work. Soon a 3 then 4 button version emerged to add even more variables for the viewer. The only down side was just like the Flash-Matic, the Space Command came with glitches. Ambient noise (this time such as the jingling of coins in a pocket) could notoriously confuse the TV, but since the controllers were cheap and reliable, Zenith kept on using them. The Zenith 600 of 1965 was introduced to cater for the brand new and exciting colour TVs and were the first to allow the viewer to adjust the tone of the screen.
Infra-red Sensors
Space Command had an impressively long run lasting nearly 25 years in active service. They were only finally superseded by the new Infra-red technology of the early 1980s. Infra-red was a natural development, but unlike its predecessors did not suffer from any external interference. Suddenly the number of functions a controller could handle became almost endless and TV remotes of the 1980s and 90s became synonymous with hundreds of buttons that could each control 'something'. We had entered a new world where we no longer had to touch the TV again once it was out of the box, and putting the controller buttons on the set itself now seemed somewhat redundant…….The age of the Couch Potato was truly born!

Ernest Gonzales "When You Are Lost I Will Find You (matthewdavid Remix)"
The original is taken from Texas-based producer Ernest Gonzales' artistically ambitious forthcoming album, Been Meaning to Tell You, but the matthewdavid remix of "When You Are Lost I Will Find You" is a relentlessly warped piece of psychedelia that offers almost no intelligible connection to its source material. Instead, the LA producer guides us through a warbling haze until additional amorphous sounds that somewhat resemble a beat kick in. The track is one of 16 remixes—including offerings by Daedelus, Copy, and Yppah—that, along with a book containing notes and illustrations and the album's 13 original songs, help complete Gonzales' highly-involved album. You can find more info on the upcoming release here.
