Rain in the Backcountry - Chuva no Sertão
Fundraiser Overview
As a missionary, I make periodic visits to the needy regions in the semi-arid region of the Brazilian Northeast and I know their battle fought for generations against the lack of water. Especially in rural areas where domestic water comes from the few rains, or withdrawal of wells and dams, then stored in reservoirs and consumed without proper treatment. Knowing you, your work and the potential of the filter, I would like to make myself available as a person and also as an organization - www.embaixadores.org.br, and, through our arm in the Northeast of Brazil - www.prosertao.com.br, in order to see this technology change the sad reality of those who suffer to have something simple and vital: clean water.

Quick Reference
Born in Charleroi, Belgium, he practised as an architect in Brussels from 1920. He became the leading Belgian disciple of Le Corbusier. As Vice-President of CIAM he was an important advocate of International Modernism in Belgium. His most celebrated work was the municipal housing-scheme or Cité Moderne at Sint-Agatha Berchem, near Brussels (1922–5), influenced by Tony Garnier's Cité Industrielle and by Frank Lloyd Wright. Other works include a house at the Weissenhofsiedlung in Stuttgart (1927). He was active as an architect and planner until his death, designing many building-types.

Just one week ago I was standing at my stall at The Animal Expo as part of the Waikato Show...
Right now it feels like forever ago; yet it's only been one week. A lot of prep and build up and 3 days - boom - were over just like that.
I had so much fun over the three days! I got to meet so many awesome people and quite a few who brung their pooch along!
Over the three days I ran a competition to win a mini session (which consists of 30mins and you get 5 high res edited digital images) which I then drew on the Sunday night.
As you can see the winner was Karen Budden with her boy Grayson the Waimaraner. Super excited about this shoot; I got to meet him on the Saturday and he is just gorgeous!
Sunday I decided to take my camera along (which I should have done the whole time; lesson learnt) and got some cool shots of some of my awesome visitors!
So all in all. A lot learnt. A lot gained. And I cant wait for next time!
So if you know of any doggy type events that you think I may be interested in; then feel free to let me know! :D

A garden can play many roles in our lives, depending on its design and intent: a treat for the senses, a source of sustenance, or a simple place to mess about with plants. But certainly one of the most important and traditional roles is as a unique place away from the world and worldly concerns. This special sort of garden can serve as an area for reflection, meditation, and spiritual healing. Indeed, for many of us, while we acknowledge having lost Eden, we haven't given up on trying to recreate an ideal space for body and soul.
Perhaps no finer model for this meditation garden exists than the great monastic gardens which flourished for more than a millennium. By their very nature, these cloistered gardens were physically separated from the outside world by walls and roofed arcades, allowing visitors to focus within: both on the inner features of this peaceful garden, with its tranquil fountain, fruit trees, and healing herbs – and, more importantly, within themselves.
In fact, the very act of enclosing a garden reflects an almost primal understanding of what a garden is. For fun with philology, we can look to the etymology of "garden" and find the proto Indo-European root word "ghor-dho," which means "enclosure." (That word is also related to "yard" and the Latin hortus, as in horticulture.) Perhaps more interesting, medieval cloistered gardens were often called paradise gardens, hearkening back to Eden, with the word "paradise" coming to the West as pairidaeza, from the Old Persian, also meaning "walled enclosure." The West, after all, did not have a monopoly on enclosed gardens.
To create a true garden meant separating your plants – and your person – from the world outside. And as our world is no more peaceful than that of the abbots who created the Benedictine and Cistercian monasteries, perhaps we might just want to return to the notion of a cloistered garden of our own.
Naturally, your three bedroom colonial might not easily lend itself to the addition of a finely cut stone-walled quadrangle, but you can at least separate your meditative space from the rest of your landscape with a simple wooden fence, trellises, arbors, or a planting of shrubs. You're simply looking for a private inner space where you can turn within.
Following the lead of the monastic gardens, which typically observed a formal layout of rectangular beds and pathways, you might want to establish raised beds, another common medieval feature, in which to cultivate herbs and vegetables. After all, St. Benedict in the 6th century required that his monks provide all their own "necessaries" within the walls of their monastery. Not unlike the Victory Gardens of the 1940s.
Herbs were especially important to the monastic garden, as any fan of the Brother Cadfael mysteries knows. Medicinal plants were at the heart of monastic life, where monks studied and recorded the therapeutic properties of roots, dried leaves, and fruits, thereby institutionalizing modern pharmacology, much as the abbeys laid the groundwork for hospitals. Consider a quick visit to a public herb garden to identify medicinal and other herbs for your garden. You will be surprised that key medieval herbs are still favorites today.
Fruit trees, another symbol of paradise (munching on which led to man's expulsion), were common features in almost all medieval gardens, and might adorn your garden, as well. Of course, barring the presence of a serpent, you should feel free to enjoy any of the apples or plums that you grow.
And while planning your bit of backyard paradise, remember that fragrance can stir memory and reflection, much as incense is used in both Eastern and Western religious traditions. Depending on your taste, you might plant soft musky-scented English boxwoods as a formal edge to your pathways, or choose from the palette of native shrubs and vines such as buttonbush or arbor-loving virgin's bower.
The center of your garden should host a single, strong element, whether a trickling fountain, birdbath, or piece of sculpture. Original medieval works are probably out of the question, but concrete knock-offs of the Irish St. Fiacre (patron saint of gardeners) can be found in various garden shops, especially those associated with cathedrals, naturally.
Lastly, remember to set aside an area where you can actually sit and enjoy – and use – your meditation garden. That means setting aside time as well. The world goes along in its bumpy chaotic way, but you can still find a peaceful retreat and solace for your soul in paradise, even if it's only in your backyard.
A personal note on cloistered gardens:
I strongly believe that at one time or other, nearly everyone has been profoundly influenced by a special place or an experience of place. For a young kid from Brooklyn, that place was the Cloisters in in New York, the Metropolitan Museum of Art's world-renowned and truly staggering collection of medieval art. The Cloisters is a museum woven around five actual monastic gardens disassembled and reassembled stone-by-stone in Ft. Tryon Park, overlooking the Hudson River. At around age 12, I experienced the Cloisters for the first time with my father one late winter's day. I remember the scent of lemon and orange blossoms from potted trees dotting the glass-screened arcades; the burbling sound of fountains competing with Gregorian chant echoing through the complex. That single visit ultimately led to my educational life as a medievalist, my vocation as a horticulturist, and created a cultural passion that informs each and every moment of my life. Today, my wife (a medievalist) and I are on the verge of planning the construction of my dream home: it will have bedrooms, a kitchen, library, and all the rest – and it will be built around a central courtyard, a garden, with herbs and fruit trees and fountains. Evidently some places change you forever.

Do you choose a word every year as inspiration? I've chosen one for many years and have yet to feel as though it's taken hold in that year. I'm often a year behind — better late than never, right?
I wondered if having something front and center — having the word displayed — would help. Maybe a framed picture (on a cute watercolor background) that depicted my word. Something of a visible reminder for everyday. So I created these templates in several colors that you can easily personalize in Picmonkey or Photoshop (or other photo editor) to display your word or phrase. Or any word or phrase.
I've created 6 different colors to match your decor. You get all 6 in the zip file that you can download here:

I'd love to see what you create!

Special Issue: Information Systems Research from the Behavioral Economics Perspective
At the turn of the 20th century, the discipline of economics went through the neoclassical revolution, built on assumptions about rationality of human behavioral economics. Behavioral economics (hereafter, BE) is primarily concerned with the bounds of rationality of economic agents. Behavioral Economics, which was incorporated the insights of psychology and other social sciences into the economic behavior, provides many important insights into managerial behavior (Bazerman and Moore, 2013). It has dealt with the effects of psychological, social, cognitive, and emotional factors on the economic decisions of individuals and organizations (Kahneman, 2011). Since the BE is primarily concerned with the bounds of rationality of economic agents, it covers a ranger of various concept, methods and fields.
Although many of IS researchers have realized the importance of an interdisciplinary perspective to explain some of IS phenomenon, the application of BE research are not well represented. This special issue promotes papers that show a direct link between BE and IS field, with a special focus on the effects of IT implementation and usage on economic agents' perception, behavior, and decision making process. Much of what the IS field is about relates to information processing for decision making. In particular, the current IS environments are facing the important issues regarding privacy, trust, and security, which are fundamentally connected to both the BE and IS.
Therefore, this special issue aims to examine the main applications of BE to Information System Research, both in classical terms as well as influenced by new emerging technologies. The BE arises from research that shows human boundary rationality and failures in acting in "self"—interest, loss aversion, among others—influence the making of economic choices and decisions. According to Goes (2013)'s editor comments in MIS Quarterly, along the advent of all emerging technologies, the decision-making IS environments have amplified and expanded in complexity, reaching many of individuals and consumers. These environments are characterized by increasing information richness and interactive decision making, often resulting in economic transactions: crowdsourcing and collective intelligence, electronic marketplaces, personalization and recommendation systems, and so forth.
This special issue therefore promotes papers that show a direct link between Behavioral Economics (BE) and IS fields, with a special focus on the effects of IT implementation and usage on economic agents' perception, behavior, and decision making process. We believe that this theoretical perspective explored represent promising new avenues for much of IS research and we cordially invite you to submit your valuable work to our special issue in APJIS.
Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are not limited to) the following:
§ Applications of behavioral economics findings to in various IS fields
§ Applied evolutionary economics and psychology to IS fields
§ Boundary rationality and impact on making decisions in business and organizations
§ Cross-cultural behavioral variation with impact on IT implementation (usage) at organizational/ individual levels

Kids who go to many Kansas City-area schools are almost as likely to drop out of high school as they are to graduate.
According to a national study, Kansas City ranks 40th out of the nation's 50 largest cities in graduation rates.1 And in one of the area's biggest school districts – the Kansas City, Mo., School District – about half2 the children drop out of high school. Half.
The aftereffects can last for a lifetime:
When kids drop out, they're more likely to earn less money, wind up on welfare, get divorced, become criminals and even die early, according to research3. With a future like that, why would anyone drop out of school? One of many reasons is that some kids can't read. And others can't read well enough to perform simple tasks needed to navigate life, like filling out job applications or medical forms in a doctor's office.
Lead to Read works to improve basic reading skills, one child and one volunteer at a time.
"If we can reduce the dropout rate by helping kids improve their reading skills, lives will be transformed and our city will be positively changed," says Jean Rundle, co-founder of Lead to Read.
"The personal involvement of reading with children not only encourages them, but will ultimately raise graduation rates in urban school districts. By directly helping these kids receive a high school education, you can help them change their lives and ultimately the community."

B.C. Premier Christy Clark may be influential, but it hasn't improved her popularity.
Clark made the top of BC Business magazine's list of B.C.'s 35 most influential women published this week. The latest Angus Reid Institute report on Canada's premiers ranked Clark as the third least popular in the country.
"BC Premier Christy Clark's approval rating is statistically unchanged – down three points from last quarter to 31 per cent," says the Angus Reid report released Wednesday.
"Clark has earned an approval rating in this range (between 30% and 34%) on job performance from British Columbians since September of 2014."
The BC Business list focused on women with the power to disrupt, and Clark definitely has a track record for wielding influence. Clark's determination to negotiate a settlement with the province's teachers union is one of the examples cited.
"I insisted that we figure out how we were going to negotiate a settlement, and it was really hard to get there," said Clark in the article. "But the reason I wanted to was that we had to force peace between both parties, and the result was what I hope is going to be a very long-term change in the system: at least five years of labour peace."

Carbon Brief Staff07.06.2011 | 11:00am
Figures released by the International Energy Agency (IEA) last week showed that carbon emissions from energy production reached a record high in 2010.
At 30.6 Gigatonnes, emissions were 5% higher than the previous record year in 2008.
Dr. Fatih Birol, the chief economist of IEA called the latest data "another wake-up call" while Lord Stern warned that "the room for manoeuvre is narrow and the window of opportunity is closing" for emissions cuts.
The IEA figures were particularly significant because emissions had been expected to fall as a result of the economic downturn. As a result of the recession, emissions fell in the UK and globally during 2009, leading some to suggest that the world had been given "breathing space" to start a shift to low-carbon infrastructure. The resurgence of carbon emissions makes it clear that this hasn't happened.
Australian blog Skeptical Science has now produced the following graph comparing current global emissions with the IPCC 'emissions scenarios', which speculate about future emissions and likely temperature changes that may result.
Figure 1: US Energy Information Administration (EIA) global human CO2 annual emissions from fossil fuels estimates vs. IPCC SRES scenario projections. The IPCC Scenarios are based on observed CO2 emissions until 2000, at which point the projections take effect. For actual emissions, figures up to 2008 are taken from the EIA. 2009 emissions are 29Gt, 2010 emissions are 30.6Gt – figures taken from the IEA.
The creators of the graph suggest that the best fit for our behaviour in the real world is currently IPCC Scenario A2, which describes a world where there is:
* Delayed development of renewable energy.
* Relatively slow change in current birth and death rates.
* Relatively slow reduction of inequality.
* Relatively slow improvement in energy efficiency.
* No barriers to the use of nuclear energy.
Scenario A2 gives a most likely global temperature rise of around 3.5°C by 2100 above temperatures in 2000 – more than 4°C above pre-industrial levels. See the second (red highlighted) grey bar from the right in the graph below.
Figure 2: IPCC 2007 Working Group 1, Figure SPM 5
If the prospect of a four-degree rise in temperatures by the end of the century on current trends wasn't alarming enough, the IEA calculated that 80 percent of projected 2020 emissions from the power sector are already 'locked in' by infrastructure already being built or has been given the go-ahead.
This means that emissions may well continue to accelerate – with global emissions continuing to rise towards – or beyond – the IPCC's most pessimistic A1FI or "fossil-fuel intensive" projection.
Scenario planning gives a broad-brush picture of what future temperature rise will be. Scientists needs more than a few years data to draw conclusions about where we are going, so we don't know exactly where we are going. But with the fall in emissions over the last couple of years occurring as an accident of global economic turmoil rather than because of infrastructure change, it's the higher emissions scenarios that remain the most relevant for mapping our future.
Ironically, relatively little research has been done on the likely consequences of these higher-end scenarios – because scientists assumed that the world would take action to reduce emissions. Met Office scientist Richard Betts however estimated in a paper published in later 2010 that the A1FI scenario could lead to a temperature rise of 4 degrees in just fifty years time (2060-70).
There is no doubt that the impacts of four degrees of temperature rise would be incredibly serious for the environment and for human society. One recent paper concluded that:
"In such a 4°C world, the limits for human adaptation are likely to be exceeded in many parts of the world, while the limits for adaptation for natural systems would largely be exceeded throughout the world. Hence, the ecosystem services upon which human livelihoods depend would not be preserved."
The disconnection of climate skeptics from the realities of the debate were thrown into contrast during the debate around the IEA publication. Dr Benny Peiser, director of the Global Warming Policy Foundation argued on Radio 4 that:
"â?¦ no-one really knows what the trajectory will be within the next 100 years, whether the warming trend will be pronounced, whether it will be moderate, whether it will be smaller, no-one knows…"
Whilst may not know precisely what trajectory we are on, but it is inaccurate – and irresponsible – to suggest that we don't have ballpark figures for what will happen if global emissions aren't curbed. We do – and the news isn't good.

When you are listening to somebody, completely, attentively, then you are listening not only to the words, but also to the feeling of what is being conveyed, to the whole of it, not part of it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
As I continue this week focusing on Social Skills, I think it's a good time to revisit the importance of the communication that happens when we are listening to others. Sure, I touched this before, the importance of listening to others instead of just waiting your turn to reply, but I think we should also discuss what you communicate to the speaker as you listen. Yes, what you say to the person speaking as you listen silently.
Communications and conversations go past the simple idea of one person speaking and another listening. There is an entire underlining conversation created by the listener that most people aren't usually aware they are projecting. As the speaker speaks, he is constantly looking for cues and validations from the listener. In a way, listening isn't enough, but reminding the speaker that he is being listened becomes just as important. If you don't believe me, just consider how annoying it is to speak with someone swiping around on their mobile.
When listening and paying attention, you have to consider if the speaker understands that you are listening and paying attention. This makes them feel acknowledged and validated, even when you might not agree with them. There are several ways to do this; including full physical attention, reflective listening, avoiding verbal and nonverbal barriers, and eye contact.
Full Physical Attention is when your body language reflects your interest in the speaker. In simple terms, this is about using your entire body to demonstrate your interest and show attention to what the person is saying. You must face the speaker square on, with the appropriate distance, and even lean forward to "better hear the speaker." Your hands and legs should remain uncrossed, in what is considered an "open" stance. Moving in response to the speaker's comments, like nodding and facial expressions, lets him know your opinion about the subject matter.
Reflective Listening is repeating back to the speaker what you understood. It validates to the speaker not only the fact that you were listening but your understanding of what was said. It allows the speaker to make clarifications and even expand on what was said before. It turns what would usually be considered an passive act into an active act.
Avoid Barriers, conscious or unconscious, that might put off the speaker. There are two types of barriers listens use; Verbal and Nonverbal barriers. Verbal Barriers are based on the tone or the content of your response. A vocal tone can give a condescending interpretation or a reaction that feels preachy, moralizing, or even shaming will shut down the conversation as a shared experience. Nonverbal Barriers are usually done unconsciously and harder to control if you're not paying attention to your own body language. These can range from eye rolling or closing your body up (slouching or arms or legs crossed) to something as simple as lack of eye contact and fidgeting.
A conversation is a shared event where both people are communicating with each other, even when it's only one person doing the talking. You must accept your responsibility for the message you project as a listener as the speaker for the works he uses.

Old Bailey Proceedings Online (www.oldbaileyonline.org, version 8.0, 22 February 2019), April 1781, trial of WILLIAM ARCHER THOMAS ROBERTS otherwise JONES (t17810425-67).| Print-friendly version | Report an error
|< Previous text (trial account) | Next text (trial account) >
263. WILLIAM ARCHER , and THOMAS ROBERTS otherwise JONES were indicted, the first, for stealing on the 8th of December , out of the Norwich mail, twenty-three bags of letters, against the statute ; the other, for receiving and maintaining the said William Archer , after the commission of the aforesaid felony, he well knowing the said William Archer to have committed the same felony .
The second, third, and fourth counts, stated several notes and bills of exchange, contained in the twenty-three bags of letters.
Mr. SHAW sworn.
I am Deputy-Comptroller of the Post-office at Dublin. On the 10th of January last, a letter was received by the Secretary of the Post-office in Dublin, from the Secretary of the London Office, setting forth, that a bank note for 50 l. which had been stolen out of the mail near Epping, had been transmitted by Mr. Latouche of Dublin, to their correspondents in London; in consequence of receiving that letter, I went, by direction of the Secretary.James Jones , which requested Mr. Latouche would send cash for a 20 l. bank note. [A letter shewn the witness.] This is the letter. Mr. Latouche's clerk informed me, that the letter was brought by the waiter of the Hotel at College-green: I went down to the Post-office, and informed the Secretary of the information I had received; then an Alderman of Dublin, myself, and one of Mr. Latouche's clerks, went over to the Hotel, and enquired for Mr. Jones; we were shewn into a room, the upper part of the house, in which were the two prisoners, and one Edward Sullens (the man who afterwards turned King's evidence;) the Secretary asked, which was Mr. Jones? the prisoner, Roberts, said, His name was Jones; he was taken into another room, by the Alderman and the Secretary; after being absent for about two minutes, the Alderman came back into the room, where I remained with the other men; he asked them what account they could give of Mr. Jones, the person in the other room; they answered that they had met him, and travelled with him from London, and they had lodged together in Dublin; and that was all they knew of him: the Secretary immediately replied, That Jones's account was so different from theirs, that he was certain they had been guilty of something improper, and he should take them into custody: two coaches were sent for, and they were brought up to the justice's office in Dublin; upon being brought there, the three prisoners were searched; from the pocket of him that called himself Jones, and that was found to be Roberts, a small pocket-book was taken, by the Secretary of the Post-office, in my presence; in it were four Bank-of-England notes.
Are these the notes? [Shewing four notes to the witness.] - I omitted, at the time, making any marks on the notes. The Lord Mayor came into the office just at the time; he had in his pocket The Hue and Cry of the 5th of January. These notes were compared, in my presence, with the description in this Hue and Cry, and two were found to correspond with two notes described there, one for 20 l. the other 25 l. I marked them down at the time, and I have kept this paper in my pocket ever since: two of these notes correspond exactly with them; these are the notes; the others I did not mark in any manner, so as to identify them. The two other men were searched, but nothing was found upon them, except twenty-two guineas: I think in the pocket of Sullens was a watch; and a watch, without any money, in the pocket of Archer; they had all three watches. [ Producing them.] It was judged proper by the Magistrate, and the Secretary of the Post-office, to have the men examined apart. The prisoners were sent into a separate room, while Sullens continued in that room, in order to be examined; when that was done, this advertisement, and this paper I have in my hand, were read to him; after a short time, upon shewing evident marks of a desire to make a confession, he was taken into a separate room from the Public-office, and there made a confession. Roberts had no money that I recollect.
Are the watches marked, out of whose pockets they were taken? - Not at the time they were taken from them, but were marked since; they were shewn to these persons in Newgate, and they acknowledged them to be the watches taken from them; Roberts also acknowledged that letter to be written by him, and that he had inclosed a 20 l. note in it; and he acknowledged receiving 50 l. at Mr. Latouche's, upon a former occasion, for a bank note.
What clothes had the prisoner? - Roberts's clothes were taken off him by directions from the Post office, after he had been some time in Newgate; they were, I think, claret colour.
[The Letter read, as follows.]
"I shall be obliged to you for to send me
"by the bearer cash for the inclosed banknote.
"I should have come myself, but
"am not well; so shall take it as a favour
"of you to send it by the bearer; for it
"will be less trouble to me to pay the exchange
"than send over to England for the
"I am your humble servant,
"To Mr. Latouche, banker."
(The bank-note inclosed in that letter was produced in court; it was No. H. 441. for 20 l. That, and the bank-notes for 20 l. and for 25 l. were read, and corresponded with the statement of them in the indictment. The 25 l. was 0. 13. dated June 8, 1780: the 20 l. was K. 80 l. dated 7th August, 1780.)
I am a clerk in Mr. Latouche's bank. On the 19th of December-last, the prisoner, Roberts, came to our shop to get change for a Bank-of-England note of 50 l. I handed him over the money. He said his name was James Jones . This is the note (producing it.)
(The bank-note for 50 l. was read, and corresponded with the statement of it in the indictment. It was No. C. 11. dated 23d June, and was indorsed Halliday, Smith, and Co. - John Knowles , James Jones .)
I live at Ely. I am concerned in receiving rents for the bishop of Ely. On the 7th of December last, in the presence of Mr. Smith, I put up in a cover four bank-notes, amounting to an hundred pounds, and delivered the letter to the post-master at Ely. I took down at that time the marks of the bills: I am satisfied that this note C. 11, for 50 l. and H. 441, for 20 l. are two of the notes I inclosed in the letter, and sent by the post.
Did you take a description of the note then? - Yes.
I am post-master at Ely. On the 7th of December last, about one o'clock, I forwarded all the letters put into the Ely bag to London: the mail was carried from Ely to Cambridge by Aaron Chevill .
I carried the mail from Ely on the 7th of December last, and delivered it to the postmaster at Cambridge.
Mr. - INGE sworn.
I live at Cambridge. On the 7th of December, I inclosed six bank-bills in a letter, and delivered them to Isaac Brown , to go by the post. I took down the marks of the notes; one was K. 801. for 20 l. dated 7th August, 1780: another, O. 13, for 25 l. dated June 8, 1780.
I live at Cambridge. On Thursday the 7th of December, I received a letter from Mr. Inge: I inclosed it under a cover to Giles Atkinson , Esq. member of parliament; I laid it upon the desk, and William Nichols took it to carry to the post-office.
Did you take any letters on the 7th of December to the post-office? - I cannot recollect the fact, but from my making entries of them, I believe I did take them: it was my business to take them.
I am Deputy Post-master at Cambridge. I receive all the bags that come into Cambridge: I received the Ely bag on the 7th of December; I put it into my bag; I put the Cambridge letters in myself upon the 7th of December, and sent the mail off.
I carried the Norfolk mail on the 7th of December last from Cambridge; I delivered it at the next stage, Saffron Walden.
- MACKENZIE sworn.
I am Post-master at Saffron Walden. I
I carried the mail to Bishop Stortford, and delivered it to Mr. Thompson.
I am Post-master at Bishop Stortford. I received the Norwich mail of Lowe between the 7th and 8th of December: I delivered it to George Watson ; I sent it off about twelve o'clock at night, which is the usual hour.
I received the mail from Mr. Thompson in the night between the 7th and 8th of December; I carried it to Epping, and delivered it there to William Crowfoot .
I am hostler at the Cock at Epping, which is the post-house. I received the mail on the 8th of December from Watson: I delivered it to William Burgess ; he went on with it at about half past three on the Monday morning.
I took the Norwich mail on Monday morning from Crowfoot at Epping, and carried it to the Spread Eagle at Snaresbrook: there I changed carts; the boy from London, Jacob Byner , took my cart, and returned to London; and I went back with his cart to Epping; that is the custom always.
I received the Norwich mail from William Burgess at the Spread Eagle at Snaresbrook, on Monday morning the 8th of December, at about five o'clock: I was to carry it to London: I stopped at the Coach and Horses in Mile End Road, between five and six o'clock; I might stay there five or six minutes; I did not stay longer; it was very dark.
Did you leave any body with your cart, to take care of it, when you went into the house? - There was nobody to leave with it: I did not miss the mail till I got to the post-office yard; then it was just getting light; then I missed it out of the cart. The mail is open in the cart: the cart is so secured that nothing could fall out by accident; it must have been taken out at the fore part of the cart.
Is there not a chain round it? - No.
Were there more mails than one in your cart? - No: it was all made up in one portmanteau: I am sure I had it when I came to the Coach and Horses.
How came you not to miss it when you got into the cart? - We do not sit upon it, as on some other roads; we sit upon a seat over it.
Did not you perceive your cart lighter? - No; and I thought nothing about it at that time.
I am hostler at the Coach and Horses at Mile End. Byner called there, I think, between four and five o'clock: he stopped about five or six minutes. A man came in, and called for a pint of purl; he asked Byner to drink: while Harry Dial was drinking, the lad went to the door, and bid him make haste; he said he was afraid of losing his cloth off his horse: the boy was in and out four or five times, I believe during the time he was afraid of losing the cloth off his horse, which he had laid upon it.
Mr. - BRIGGS sworn.
I belong to the General Post-Office. On the 8th of December, I was at the Post-Office, waiting for the arrival of the Norwich mail: the cart came without the mail: it ought to contain twenty-three bags; amongst them the Ely and Cambridge bags. The boy came to the Post-Office about seven o'clock.
Is that the usual time? - Sooner sometimes: between the hours of five and seven, is the usual time.
What age are you? - Twelve the 2d ofEdward Fleet was with me.
Was there any water in the pit? - There was; I saw one of the corners stick up. There was a plate upon the portmanteau; it was NORWICH MAIL. I carried it to my master.
I was with Bowler on the 11th of December; we found the bag in a again hole, in Globe-lane, which is about 100 yards from the Coach and Horses, at Mile End; there was not any thing in it; there was upon it, NORWICH MAIL. We took it to school, to our master; it was afterwards carried to the Post-office.
I live in Wellclose-square; I am servant to Mr. Wright. I found some empty bags in a ditch, by the side of the road between Bethnal-green and Old Ford, about three quarters of a mile, or not so much, from the Coach and Horses; they were in a ditch of water; there was another boy with me; we went a shooting sparrows.
What day was this? - I do not remember neither the day, month, or week; it was before Christmas; there were, I suppose, a peck of brickbats in them, and a hole cut in the bottom, to sink them; I took them all out; there was a letter in one; I put it in again, and took them home to Mr. Wright. There was a plate of copper at the corner; there were twenty-three of them; I do not know them all; there was upon the different plates, Saffron Walden, Ongar, Cambridge, Ely; some had no marks. My master sent me up to the Post-office with them; I carried them there, and the letter too.
- CUMMINGS sworn.
I belong to the General Post-office; Gladwell brought the bags to the Office on the 14th of December. Here is a list of the bags which are contained in the Norwich mail.
I live in Rose-lane, Spitalfields. On Friday morning, I believe it was the 8th of December, Archer came between four and five o'clock, and called me up; we went out, with intent to rob carts or waggons, or any thing we could; we went up Mile-End Road, almost as far as Bow; we met nothing to our expectation; we returned back to a watering-house; I fancy it was the sign of the Coach and Horses; it is an house the waggons and carts stop at; we staid there till almost six in the morning. I believe the mail cart came up.
Had you been in the Coach and Horses then? - No, we were waiting nearly opposite, about that time; the mail stopped, and the boy went into the house; Archer ran across the way; he was not gone, I believe, three minutes; five, I am sure was the most; he returned in five minutes, with the mail upon his shoulder; he carried it just across the road, and then flung it over the bank, which is close to the path-way; then I went over the bank with him; I am certain this is the mail bag; I said, We shall be both hung if we take this; he swore, D - n his eyes, he would take it, for there might be money in it; I said, I would not have any thing to do with it. I knew I was liable, being with him, to suffer as well as him. I went with him over the fields to Globe-lane; it was growing day-light, so that we could see over the fields; he said, It would not do to carry it home; we might be discovered; so we put it in a ditch, next to the lane; Archer staid there till I returned; I brought an hempen bag; I stood by the side of the rail-till he put the small bags into the hempen sack, and after that we threw the outside mail bag into a pit of water, in Globe-lane, called a grain pit, I believe; we flung bricks and stones upon it, to sink it.
Do you recollect how many bags were taken? - I was in so much confusion I cannot remember the number of small bags; there were a great many; they were put into the hempen bag, tied up, thrown across the horse, and then, mine being the nighest house, we consented to take it to my house. I went into the stable, with my horse, at the back of my house, the while he carried the sack into a front room of mine. We
Could either of you read? - No, I could not; and I have heard him say, he could not. After we had burnt the letters, we put the small bags in an hempen sack, and took them in a cart to a place called Old Ford, near a hand-post, and flung them into a ditch; and I think there were some stones put into the sack to sink it.
Old Ford is near Bethnal Green? - Yes. It was between eleven and twelve o'clock when we got home with the cart; then we agreed between us to go to Roberts's, for him to look over the notes and the bills, to see which were good; we went over in the Borough, near the King's Bench; he was at work; when we got there, it was near one o'clock; we went to one Mr. Wood's, I think the sign of the George, a public-house where he lodged: we asked for Roberts; the man went to fetch him; Roberts said, He could not come over till he finished a piece of work he was about. We afterwards all threedined there off pork steaks; he enquired how the mail had been taken? and we told him all that we had done; he said, It was done very well, as it was done in that manner, and he would come over and look at them; he consented to go with us, and we proffered him an equal part with us of the notes. It was past three o'clock, I believe, when we returned from Wood's; we came to Rose-lane, to my house, just at dusk; before we went to Roberts's we put the notes in a pocket book, and buried them in a dunghill, at my house; when we got into my house, we fetched the pocket book out, and he looked over the notes; The Draughts, he said, were of no use to us, as it was war time, but, if it was not war time, he could go abroad with them. My wife and sister went for a Mrs. Moses, to get her to buy them. What he called the draughts were kept in one place, the bank notes in another: when she came, she said, The draughts were of no use to her, but the bank notes she would buy, but she did not not know whether they were good or not; she asked to have two of them, that her daughter might go to her son-in-law with them, to know if they were good. Roberts took two out, and took down the numbers upon a bit of paper, that they might not change them; she went, and was gone almost an hour and an half; in that time Roberts, Archer, me, old Mrs. Moses, and my wife, were in the house. I do not know who the son-in-law is; I never saw him, as I know of. When the daughter returned, she said, The notes were very good. Mrs. Moses, at her return, asked, What we would have for them? We asked 250 l. for 335 l. in value, as Roberts informed us; she said, She would give us 200 l. for them the next day; we waited till next day, eleven o'clock; she did not come; Roberts began to be uneasy; he said, He could lay them out as well as any gentleman in the city of London, without losing any thing by them.
What became of the bills and draughts all this time? - Roberts said, he would burn them; Mrs. Moses and I said, It is a pity to burn them; you say it is so much money, put them up in something, and I will go lose them, that the owner may come by them again. Roberts said, It would be no odds to the owners; it would be only writing backward and forward that they were lost. They were at last burnt. Mrs. Moses said, Don't burn them, let them be lost; it will be a lightening of the punishment if we should be found out. The next day, when Mrs. Moses did not come, Roberts and I proposed to go down to Rosemary-lane, to Mr. Downes's, I think it was: my wife came after us before we got to the bottom of Goodman's Fields, and told us Mrs. Moses's daughter was come for the notes; we returned to our house; she then said, Her mother could not afford to give any more than 100 l. for them, as they were not for herself, but another person; that she should only get 20 l. by them: we consented to let her have them at 100 l. she was to come at one hour and another; but she did not come: about three in the afternoon Roberts said, He would go
What became of the three silver watches? - We had one a-piece; to the best of my remembrance this is my watch. [Looking at one of them.] There was a 10 l. note changed in Barnaby-street, as he informed us: then we proposed to go to our house, for Roberts said, Perhaps Mrs. Moses might get us apprehended. We went to my mother-in-law's, in Bishopsgate-street; my mother-in-law wondered to see so many men come there; we staid there, and had a pot of beer, and concluded to have some supper. Then we went to Archer's; there we staid all Saturday night. Archer and his wife went to bed; my wife and I sat up; Archer put the clothes on that he had bought, in my mother-in-law's room, after he returned from the Borough. We got up on Sunday morning; my wife pressed me to know where we were going; Roberts desired me not to tell her, for fear we should be upper-handed: after we came out, we proposed to go to Moorfields, and take a chaise; Roberts said, He thought that was too nigh, that people might find us out too soon. We went to Gray's-Inn Lane, to the Red Lion; and were driven to the Mitre, at Barnet; upon the road between Barnet and Dunstable, we agreed where we should go to; Roberts said, We must not keep a straight road, for that might be the means of our being upper-handed; we must cut out of the main road into cross country roads; he said, He had been a rider for his uncle sometime, and knew the roads. We agreed to go to Wales; he said he would go to Leicester; he changed a 10 l. note at the Peacock, at Leicester; then we went to Market Harborough; there, I think, we laid on Sunday night; the next day, I think, we travelled to Derby; he changed a note there, at the inn where we stopped; from thence we went to Manchester; there was nothing changed at Manchester, but between Derby and Manchester another note was changed: we went on to Holyhead, and from thence we went to Dublin, where we arrived the next Sunday after we set off from London. I went by the name of James Bolton , my wife's maiden name; Archer, by the name of William Pritchard ; Roberts went by the name of James Jones . We lodged in Dublin, at the Hotel on College-green. On the Tuesday following, Roberts went and changed a 50 l. note, with Mr. Latouche; and he said, He set his name upon the back of it, James Jones ; and that Mr. Latouche inquisited him a good deal about it; that he said he was a relation of Mr. Jones of Chester. The money was shared; I had 14 l. he 15 l. and Archer 14 l. he said, with the discount of the money, that made the difference. Roberts changed another 50 l. note with a gentleman upon 'Change; I do not know on what day that was. On the day before we were apprehended, we walked out all together; Roberts said, He as ashamed to go to Mr. Latouche again, as he wanted to change another note; he said, He would go home to his lodgings, and feign sick, and send a note by the waiter. I had not been returned home five minutes, before a gentleman came in, and
Do you know, of your own knowledge, whether that letter was sent with the bill, for the purpose of getting it changed at Mr. Latouche's? - The waiter went with it; I was not at home when he went; but he came back when I was there.
Cross Examination.
Have you, at any time, received his Majesty's pardon? - Yes, I have.
How long is it since you left your lodging upon the Thames? - This last March was a twelvemonth.
Have not you and Archer had some variance? - On the Thames?
No; have not you had some falling-out? - No; we messed together when we were on the Thames. Roberts was on the Thames too. I was all illiterate man; I used to give him a penny a letter to write for me; I have never had any quarrel with him at all, not since we came away; we had a little difference about messing, upon the Thames.
Do you recollect what time you went to Archer's lodging? - I never went to his lodgings in a morning, in my life; I never was twice at his house.
Which took the mail out of this cart? - Archer.
Where did you meet him that morning? - He called me up, to go upon what they call the Drag.
Are you sure it was Archer that took the mail? - Yes, I am as positive as that God is in heaven.
Did not you tell Archer, it was no felony to take the mail out of the cart? - No, I said it was; and advised him, after it was taken, to lay it where it might be found; he ran over, and took it.
Do you recollect, when you were in the road together, telling Archer, That it was no felony to take it out of the cart, it being under no person's care? - I never told him any such thing; I told him, I was sensible
it was death to take it away, when we were in the fields, and desired him to leave it.
You was present when Mrs. Moses was at the justice's? - I saw her there, but did not hear her say any thing. I was not present when she was examined.
Had Archer any of these notes at any time? - Yes, several.
Roberts. He says I was the person that advised him to do it; he was the acting party all through. Did I ever say, burn the notes? - Not the bank-notes, but to burn the bills.
Roberts. Did you ever tell me how you came by the notes? - We did.
Roberts. I never had any benefit from the transaction, had I? - He had it.
Roberts. Did not you come on Saturday morning to the King-and-Queen's Head in Gravel-lane, and send for me before I was out of bed? - Yes; we came to fetch him to keep him with us, for fear he should go and be an enemy against us. Archer came to me on Saturday morning, and we concluded to go to fetch Roberts, for fear he should turn from what he had said before we laid at a Mr. Goodges's in Gravel-lane, on Friday night; afterwards did not.
Roberts. What was the reason of not coming to where I lodged, rather than another house? - Because they should not suspect any thing.
Roberts. Whether you did not insist that you would not leave me till I went into the country? - It was his own proposal to go into the country; he said he could lay out the notes as well as any gentleman in the city, and he did not like to lose a farthing by them.
I am the wife of the last witness. On Friday the 8th of December, Archer called my husband up between four and five in the morning: he went along with him; he came home again, in about an hour or two, for a hempen sack, and he took his great coat with him; he returned again between six and seven; the bell had rung six a good while: Archer came with him; they brought this hempen bag with some little bags in it, and he emptied them out; he untied one
Were there a great many of them? - A great number of the leather bags were put into the hempen sack again, and Archer and Sullens took them away in a cart; I heard Archer say, when he came back, That they had been taken to Old Ford, and thrown into a ditch, or pond; that they throwed stones and brick-bats upon them, to sink them. They went out together after that to Roberts's lodgings; they returned in the evening, and Roberts with them. Archer and Sullens fetched the pocket-book case out of the yard; he brought the bills in, and put them upon the table; Roberts looked over them, to see which were good, and which were bad; for neither Archer nor Sullens could read: they were emptied out upon the table, and he looked over them; all those that were good, he laid on one side the table; those that were bad, he laid on the other side. Sullens wanted them to be dropped; Archer swore, They should not be dropped, as they should not be brought against him; then those were burnt in the same fire-place. Archer said, He should wish to have the good ones sold to a Fence, which is a cant name for a receiver of stolen goods. I went to Mrs. Moses; I told her Archer wanted her at Sullens's house: it was on the Friday night; she said, It was her sabbath; she should rather like to know before she went out, whether it would be worth her while. She put on her hat and cloak, and came to our house: they shewed her the notes; she said, She could not read them; but if they would let one or two of them go with her daughter, while she staid to let her son see if they were good, she would buy them. Roberts took two out, looked at the numbers to see what the numbers of them were, and sent them by Mrs. Moses's daughter to shew to Mrs. Moses's son, to see if they were good; her daughter returned again, and said, they were good: the mother said then, She would buy them, but could not give the money that night, but would give it next morning.
Were they all three together, when Mrs. Moses came? - They were. I met them that night at my mother's in Skinner-street, Bishopsgate-street: they did not stop long there; they went to Archer's lodgings, and sat up with them there all night; Archer and his wife went to bed. They went off in the morning; and I saw no more of them, nor my husband, till I was taken to Bow-street; but they were all together on Saturday morning, and breakfasted at my house, and Mrs. Moses's daughter. I went to fetch them back: Roberts was taking them somewhere to buy some clothes, and Archer and I brought them all back.
I keep the George in Gravel-lane, Southwark. Roberts lodged at my house in December last.
Do you know the other prisoner? - I saw him at one time at my house, with the man they call Sullens. I saw them twice at my house: they came first and wanted to see Roberts; he was at work at Squire Lane's; I cannot recollect the day of the week.
Do you recollect when Roberts left your lodging? - It was a Saturday, very early. When they came to my house, they asked me to send for Roberts; I said, he was very busy, and, I believed, not to be seen; but I would go and see. One of them went along with me; I shewed him where he was at work; Roberts followed them to my house very soon after.
Did they dine at your house? - Not at that time; they did a day after.
Can you recollect the day when they dined at your house? - It is impossible.
After the day they dined at your house, do you recollect Roberts leaving your lodging entirely? - I cannot recollect exactly; but I think this was two or three days before Roberts left my lodgings; I think it was in the same week.
Roberts worked with me in the beginning
Did he ever return to work again with you? - No.
Did he stay for his wages? - No; I carried his wages to him, to John Wood 's; and never saw any more of him.
I keep a sale-shop in Rosemary-lane. On Saturday the 9th of December, Roberts came into my house, just at candle-light, and asked for a suit of clothes; my man took him up into the warehouse, and sold him a suit of clothes, and a great coat; a blue-grey lined with black, and a brown cloth great coat.
Whether these are the clothes you sold? - They correspond in colour; I believe them to be the clothes.
How did he pay you for them? - He gave me a 10 l. bank note; I gave him 4 l. 15 s. change out of it.
You took no account of the bank note? - I did not.
Mr. Shaw. These are the coat and waistcoat that Roberts had on when he was apprehended.
I live at Mr. Babb's, a hosier, in Aldersgate-street. On the 9th of December last, about six or seven o'clock in the evening, the prisoner, Roberts, bought six pair of silk stockings of me, which came to 3 l. 13 s. 6 d. I changed a 10 l. bank note for him.
I am a pawnbroker, in the Borough, near St. George's Church. On Saturday the 9th of December last, Roberts came to my house about seven in the evening, and said he was going down to Buckinghamshire; that he dealt in lace, and wanted a new watch; he said, I must change it if it would not do. I shewed him several; he bought two; I should know them again; the maker's name of one, was Pagent; I don't know the maker's name of the other. This is one I sold him, [pointing at it.]
I suppose many watches go from your shop you can't identify again? - Yes; and I sold him, besides, a pair of shoe and knee buckles. I think all came to 7 l. odd; he gave me a bank note; I think a 15 l. it was above 10 l. I know; and I gave him change out of it.
- THOMAS sworn.
I live with Mr. Bertram, pawnbroker, in Barnaby-street. On the 9th of December, in the evening, Roberts came to our shop, and bought a silver watch, and a pair of shoe and knee buckles. Mr. Bertram gave him change for a note; I think it was a 10 l. note. This is the watch I sold him.
I live at the Red Lion, Gray's-Inn Lane; I drove a chaise from thence to Barnet, on Sunday morning the 10th of December; I carried three men. I have seen that man with red hair before, but can't be positive that he was one of them.
ARCHER's DEFENCE.
I leave it to my counsel to call my witnesses.
(The prisoners witnesses were examined apart.)
I am a midwife, in Shoreditch, and have lived there many years. I have known Archer, and his family, many years; one Thursday night, I take it to be at the begining of December, about a week in it, called to his wife; the labour went off, so I went away between seven and eight in the morning; he was at home: when I went away she was not in labour, but she thought she was; she was but six months gone with child.
Can you swear to the day of the month? - Not for the world: if I had laid her, I should have set down the day; but she went afterwards to the Lying-in hospital
I go out a nursing; my husband is abroad; I engaged to nurse Mrs. Archer; and she was taken very bad before her time.
As read by the Clerk of Arraigns.
My Lord,
With submission, I most humbly beg and pray your Lordship may be pleased to look over this, which I have here certified to be the truth, and the truth only; so help me God! viz. On Friday, the eighth day of December last, at about two o'clock in the afternoon, Edward Sullens came into the lead-yard of George Lane, Esq. Loman's Pond, Southwark, where I was at work, and said that he wanted to speak to me; when I made him answer, and said, that I could not then have time to speak to him; but told him, that about four o'clock I should have done work for the day; when Sullens said that he should wait until that time, at the house of John Wood , the George, in Gravel-lane. Between four and five o'clock, I done work, and went, as usual, to the said George, where Sullens and Archer were both in the parlour, drinking brandy and water: however, Sullens said to me, as I had not dined, that he had ordered some steaks to be done for dinner; when we all three dined; at the same time Sullens and Archer were saying to me, that they would be great friends to me, if I would leave my place, and be a servant to Edward Sullens , as they were a going into the country, and should be in want of a clerk to do their business, for they had got some bank-notes to pass. I asked them where and how they came by bank-notes; when Sullens answered, and said, we honestly got them; for this morning, between Stratford and Mile End, we found, laying in the road, a trunk, which we carried home, and found it contained several banknotes, which we are determined to make use of, as it will be the making of us for ever. I made answer, that it would be much better for them to keep the said notes until they should be advertised, as they would be sure of a great reward for finding the same. They replied, No; for it is all our own, and nothing but bank-notes, which is as good as cash; at the same time they both insisted that I should agree and be Sullen's servant, as he should pay me for my trouble, and said, It will be much better for you than to work for ten shillings a week. I then made answer, and said, that I would consider of it, and let Sullens know my determination some time the next day: No, said he, I must know this night, and you must go along with me home; I made answer, that I wanted to go that night into the city, and would accompany him part of his way home; accordingly we all three went out together from the said George: it was then between five and six o'clock o' Friday evening; and the same evening I parted with Sullens and Archer in Bishopsgate-street, with a promise that I should call upon Sullens some time the next day, Saturday. I was back at the said George by nine o'clock that same evening. The next morning, Saturday the 9th of December, before I was out of my bed, a person comes to the George, and said, that there was some one wanted to speak with me at the King and Queen; when I immediately got up, and went there, where I found Sullens and Archer were a drinking some purl: Edward Sullens said to me in this manner, By God, you must go immediately along with us, as we want to buy some things that is wanted for to go on our journey, as we are resolved to set out this afternoon, or to-morrow morning; so you must go along with us, and you shall be better paid for your time than work for ten shillings a week; with this they prevailed on me, and I went with them, and I bought what they desired me; at the same time Sullens giving me a banknote at a time to get it changed. By the time I had bought for them what they wanted, I believe it was near eight o'clock o' Saturday night; when Sullens insisted that I should go and stay with him all night at Archer's house, and to set out next morning for the country. I desired that he would let me go and settle with my master, and let him know that I was going into the country:Edward Sullens we all three set out for to go to Liverpool; and when we arrived there, agreed for to go over to Ireland, as he, Sullens, said that he wanted to buy some Irish cloths. On the 17th of December we arrived in Dublin; and Tuesday the 19th, Sullens gives me a fifty-pound banknote, to go and get cash for it; when I went with the same to the house of Messrs. Latouche the bankers, and got the said note changed; immediately after I went with the cash to meet Sullens and Archer at the Elephant Tavern in Essex-street, where I paid Sullens the money, and he gave me fifteen guineas, and I believe to Archer the same. In a few days afterwards Sullens said to me, that I must get another note changed, and gave me a fifty-pound note; at the same time desired me to go upon 'Change, as some of the merchants would give me cash: accordingly I went, and met with a merchant, who gave me the cash for the fifty-pound note; and immediately went with the same to a house in Smock Alley, where Sullens and Archer was; and we all three went from thence to the Hotel in College-Green, where I paid Sullens the money, and he gave me fifteen guineas, and Archer the same. On Saturday, January the 6th, Sullens said to me that he must have some more notes changed, and that I had better go to the same merchant as changed me the last note, to get him for to give me cash for two or three notes accordingly I went to the said merchant's house, and asked him for to give me cash for forty or fifty pounds bank-notes, when the merchant made answer, and said, that if I would wait untill the Monday following, and meet him upon 'Change, at three o'clock, he would take my notes, and give me the cash: accordingly I promised to do so; and on Monday the 8th day of January, I met the said merchant upon 'Change, when he informed me that he wanted a draft of one hundred and twenty-four pounds, but could not get it that day, and on that account he could not take my notes. I immediately went and acquainted Sullens of this, when he made answer, and said, that I must go and get cash for them somewhere else, as he could not go from Dublin without some more money; at the same time gave me in all five bank-notes, value one hundred and five pounds. I then told him that I did not know where or how to get cash for them, unless Messrs. Latouche would change them; then said he, Go and ask them to do it, for you must see and get some cash. I told him then that I would either go or send to Mr. Latouche some time o' Wednesday, if that would do, and he agreeable, when he, Sullens, replied, and said, Do so; I am agreeable. The Wednesday morning, January 10th, I was not very well; and at about ten o'clock in the forenoon, I wrote few lines to Mr. Latouche, with a twenty-pound bank-note inclosed, desiring he would he pleased to send me cash for the said note by the bearer, who was the waiter where I lodged; the waiter comes back, and tells me that he was ordered to call for the money at twelve o'clock, as Mr. Latouche would not be in the way till that time; accordingly the waiter went at twelve o'clock, and returned to inform me that he was ordered to call for the money at two o'clock, as Mr. Latouche could not tell the exchange until about two o'clock; I said to the waiter, Very well, call for the money at that time. About one o'clock, Sullens and Archer comes up stairs in my room to shift themselves, when one of Messrs. Latouche's clerks came to the door of my room, and told me that I should have the money sent me for the twenty-pound note in about an hour's time; but in about half an hour's time, he returns to me, with the secretary of the Post-Office, Sir Thomas Blackhall , and others. The Secretary desired to speak with me; I said, by all means; and went with him into another room; when he began to tell me about a bank-note of fifty-pounds that I had changed with Mr. Latouche; also told me that he had an account of that same note being taken out of the mail in England. I made answer, that I did not know any thing about that, for honestly I had received
May it therefore please your Lordship to consider my hard case, and shew me all the lenity that the laws of my country will admit of, for I am innocent, and hope your Lordship will be convinced of it, in the course of my trial.
Wednesday morning, April 25th, 1781.

Here's a profound thought for you:
If you want to move forward, you first have to let go.
Crazy, huh?
Reminds me of when I went ice-skating last winter. I never did learn how, and it had been years—decades—since the last time I tried. This time around I allowed a friend to coerce me into going, even though I was afraid I already knew how it would turn out.
As expected, I couldn't let go of the rails. I watched as dozens of happy people flew past me, dancing and bobbing in glee while I chuck-chucked alongside the rails. My friend, a first-timer as well, was already gliding around and around, laughing in sheer delight and triumph. How I envied them all their fearlessness and accomplishment.
I knew I could just as easily join them in that experience. No one had tied me to the rails, after all.
But I could not—would not?—let go of the safety of the sidelines. Not when I could fall flat on my behind, or break an ankle, or simply exist, for just a moment, completely and utterly out of my element with nothing to hold on to.
Logically, I understood that I would never experience that sensation of floating on ice if I did not first risk falling flat.
Emotionally, I shrugged and declared, oh well. Ain't gonna happen.
So I remain a non-skater. For the time being, at least (I haven't quite given up on myself yet).
But here I am, with the certain knowledge that it's time to move on with my life. And I realize I have to let go of some things first: particular thoughts, behaviors, beliefs—the sideline stuff, the forces I've clung to for safety on the sidelines of life.
For the longest while I believed those things held me back, kept me tethered when I wanted to be free.
But really, I'm the one who's been holding on with an iron grip.
It's infinitely safer to hang on to the belief that I am flawed, that I don't deserve success, that I simply don't have what it takes to step out onto the rink and fly. Or, I don't have enough money. I don't have the right credentials. I don't know the right people.
At least if I keep hanging on to this sideline stuff, I won't risk falling flat on my face, right?
But it's time to let go. Time to move on. Time to trust.
I learned first to trust God. Now God teaches me to trust myself.
Time to let go. Time to move on. Time to trust.
Time to trust myself. Time to believe in me.

Taiwan's aviation authority has ordered all ATR aircraft operated in the country to undergo technical checks in the wake of a tragic crash in the capital Taipei.
Although it has not ordered grounding of the fleet, Taiwan's Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) said in a statement that engines, fuel control and propeller systems as well as spark plugs and ignition connectors of all of the 22 ATR aircraft operated in the country should be examined.
While the cause of the accident of TransAsia flight GE235 with 58 passengers aboard has not yet been determined, recordings of the plane's pilot's emergency calls have indicated a possible engine problem.
In the recordings, released by liveatc.net, the pilot of the only one year old ATR 72-600 can be heard calling 'Mayday Mayday engine flameout', referring to an engine failure caused by fuel supply blockage or faulty combustion.
Experts said, however, that a twin-engine aircraft, such as the ATR 72-600 turbo-prop, should be able to stay in the air with only one engine working.
The plane was powered by two Pratt & Whitney PW127M engines, which had been installed in April last year in Macau after a technical problem with the original motors was discovered during the delivery flight.
The plane underwent a complex maintenance procedure just two weeks ago and neither of its previous flights on the day of the crash indicated any problems.
The accident, captured in a horrific detail by the dashboard camera of a passing car, took place on Wednesday morning killing more than 30 people including the two pilots.
The tragedy is the second crash in less than a year involving a TransAsia operated ATR 72 plane. On 23 July 2014, an ATR 72-500 with 58 people aboard crashed near Taiwan's Magong Airport while trying to land in bad weather. 47 people died.
A product of a collaboration between Airbus and Alenia Aermacchi, a subsidiary of Italy's Finmeccanica, ATR 72 is a short-haul regional turbo-prop capable of carrying up to 72 people.
ATR, which has its headquarters in France, said in a statement that it would cooperate with the French aviation safety investigation authority (BEA), which would represent the manufacturer. Canada, where the Pratt & Whitney engines are built, will also take part in the investigation led by Taiwan's Aviation Safety Council.
Taiwanese media reported that it appeared the plane's pilot managed to avoid more widespread damage and probably loss of further lives by steering aircraft between apartment blocks and commercial buildings before crashing into the river Keelung.

You may have heard that getting your braces put on is a long and potentially uncomfortable appointment. The patient has to keep their mouth open for long periods as they hold their tongue back and away from their teeth. This is not the case at Caggiano Orthodontics, because Dr. Caggiano uses a technique called Indirect Bonding.
Indirect bonding is an advanced technique that allows Dr. Caggiano to place your braces all at once in a fraction of the time that it takes to place the braces on your teeth individually (the traditional way). Not only is the indirect method easier on the patient, but it also allows greater accuracy of brace placement. The accuracy of the placement of the braces allows your teeth straightening process to occur more quickly, therefore reducing treatment time.
The advantages of indirect bonding:
If you're in need of braces but aren't looking forward to the discomfort, numerous checkups, and time spent in our Parsippany orthodontics office, then be sure to ask us about indirect bonding with high tech braces.

DIY Shourouk Inspired Bracelet/
First time I saw these Shourouk bracelets I knew I had to make some myself! And when the drawstring on my brother´s hoodie (sorry) came out in the washer, it lost the battle to some scissors and my crafting obsession!
But look at the result (I am sure it looks way better on my wrist compared to in the hood :)
You will need a pair of rhinestone earrings (I am using the rest of the once I used in this post), a drawstring from a hoodie (or round shoelace), pliers, scissors, needle and thread, and lighter.

I dont trust glue so I always sew! But if you do, go for it!!! :)

The performance management processes of planning, monitoring, developing, and rewarding performance surface time and again as critical factors for success. For example, in the 1998-1999 Hay Employee Attitudes Study, "Competing for Talent: Creating A Work Climate to Attract, Motivate and Retain High Performing Employees," the Hay Group compares two groups of employees – those committed to the organization and those planning to leave. Many of the critical factors affecting employee retention relate to the quality of performance management. These include:
In another study of 100,000 employees of 2,500 organizations, the Gallup Organization pinpointed employee attitudes that are present in highly productive work groups and that relate directly to the rate of employee turnover, customer satisfaction, and productivity. Many of these attitudes reflect effective performance management practices. Employees in such work groups report high levels of agreement with the following statements:
As if these findings weren't enough to clearly show performance management as a critical process for organizational success, additional supporting data comes from the nationwide survey "Attracting and Retaining High-Technology Talent," co-sponsored by William M. Mercer, Inc. and the Pittsburgh High Technology Council. This report highlights best tactics for retaining experienced employees. Several of these tactics relate to effective performance management, including:
The results of these surveys show that effective performance management is critical to retaining good employees and achieving a productive work environment. To ensure that performance management is implemented effectively in your organization:

Politicians: The Worst Kind of People to Run the Government
In the new political science that developed in the Progressive Era, study of what constitutes wise opinion was dropped. The new political scientist was to abandon the supposedly played out mines of political theory. Progress, you would have thought as an intellectual in that period, must proceed on "scientific" principles. Max Weber's "fact/value" distinction meant that facts alone could be submitted to scientific inquiry, while issues of right and wrong ("values") could be examined only from outside their own assumptions. Here, then, is partly where we get our present day intellectual prejudice against crediting what politicians say they are doing and our constant suspicion that the real truth must be something else. It arose in Germany as an element of the "science of the state" (Statswissenschaft) and the "general theory of the state" (Allgemeine Staatslehere). And it fit well with the new science of politics, Politische Wissenschaft. With the new method, known states were compared historically, with perfection of the state as the goal. In the latter half of the 19th century, these ideas entered the United States in the heads of young Americans who, lacking domestic graduate schools in public law, embarked on studies in Germany. In time the concept of eugenics gained force in the Second Reich — decades before the Nazis employed it. When, in 1904, the German Empire exterminated almost the whole race of native Hereros in German Southwest Africa, it was publicly justified in terms of Darwinism. There were few protests. A generation earlier, the first American convert to Teutonic ideas of political science and the founder of its U.S. version was John W. Burgess. Dazzled by what he found in Germany, Burgess, back home, proclaimed the ultimate end of the state to be "the perfection of humanity; the civilization of the world; the perfect development of human reason, and its attainment to universal command over individualism; the apotheosis of man." German-trained instructors, helped shape the America field of political science over the next generation. From political science at Johns Hopkins, meanwhile, came a number of historicist scholars, including Woodrow Wilson. We can chart the Progressive Era from the 1880s because of the work of Wilson. In America today, Darwinism's triumph in something called "political science" continues to batter at the philosophical foundations of republican government.

Hi, a client has a SBS2011 standard.
It has sql 2008 Express (which is free) Today a company who want to install a software say they need a full sql. (what is the diffrence between full and only express)
Can I buy a premium add on and install this toghether with the standard sbs2011?
I have no sql skills nor knowledge apart of it being a database.
Can't they just use the free sql express?
3 Replies
I am not sure about the difference between the express and full sql version myself but the sbs thing I can prob help with, I think they done away with the standard and premium when they got 2011 all you do is decide if you want the premium add-on or not.
Sorry huge linkl.
Total Care Computer Consulting is an IT service provider.
Total Care Computer Consulting is an IT service provider.
you have until the end of this month to purchase the Premium Add-On. It gives you a second server license as well as SQL 2008 R2. You'll need to buy Premium CALs for each user that will be accessing the SQL application. the other users won't need the CALs.
While you CAN install SQL full on SBS 2011, Microsoft recommends you don't do it unless your software vendor is willing to support the SQL and application on the SBS 2011 server. If not, you get a server standard 2008 R2 license with the Premium Add-on, so you can spin up a new server if you need to.

|Young Jabi
|Jabi in Makai Tales
|Portrayed By
Jabi is a Makai Priestess and disciple of Amon; she's also Kouga's childhood friend. She is featured in Chapter of the Black Wolf, Demon Beast of the Midnight Sun, Flash Knight, and recently in The Tougen Flute.
Personality & CharacterEdit
Skills & AbilitiesEdit
- Makai Priestess Training: ?.
Tools & WeaponsEdit
- Makai Flags: Jabi uses two red Makai Flags which she uses for melee and magical attacks.
- Makai Fans: She also uses two big fans used for casting spells and deflecting weapons.
Early DaysEdit
Jabi was a student under Makai Priest Amon and was a former childhood playmate with Kouga. She and Kouga trained together but went their separate ways during their teenage years. Jabi is a sensually aggressive woman and wants to be a good woman rather than being a talented Makai Priest. She carries two Madō brushes to summon electrical attacks and has two red Makai flags used to ward off certain magical attacks. Unlike Kouga, Jabi never found someone for herself to protect.
Chapter of the Black WolfEdit
By the time the two crossed paths, Jabi was framed with the murder of her mentor and had stolen the purified Horror blades due to being forcibly repatriated. Though Kouga believed she wasn't responsible for the murder, Jabi was unable to trust him because Amon's murderer was a Makai Knight. But once able to trust him again, yet knowing she can not have him, Jabi reveals the Eastern Watchdogs' true nature before agreeing to Kouga enter the Crimson Forest once they deal with the Horror Blades. When she and Kouga attempted to perform the Force Repatriation on their own, Jabi was seemingly killed by a surprise attack from Kodama, vaporized with only her Madō Brush remaining.
Demon Beast of the Midnight SunEdit
In Garo Special: Beast of the Midnight Sun, it's revealed Jabi's body wasn't destroyed as presumed, but was recovered and incubating inside the Makai Tree, still alive yet stuck between life and death. Amon discovered the complication and dispatched Rin to help him inform Kouga that only a person with a strong bond with her can awaken her and bring her back to the living. With the help of Rin, he was able to enter the Makai Forest and fought his way to free Jabi. Jabi has since taken a liking to Rin and assisted Rin in her Makai training. Tsubasa didn't acknowledge Jabi as a real person at first and being the un-shy girl that she is she made Tsubasa feel her breast for a heartbeat and the breath from her lips. Garai took Jabi to examine the Phosphorus Arrow and realized it's weakened. While the Makai Knights guarded the outside premises, Jabi would restore the powers of the arrow with her powers. During Legules' night attack on Kantai, the Makai Knights were able to stall Legules enough for Jabi to restore the arrow and use it against Legules in combat. Legules' dark magic was too strong and Kouga jumped in to save Jabi.
Rin was poisoned by a shrapnel from Legules. Jabi decided to perform a Makai version of blood transfusion to dilute the poison within her because there wasn't enough time to use the Barankas fruit. The process was painful, but both survived the procedure. Tsubasa thanked Jabi for saving his little sister's life while still holding the Phosphorus Arrow. Legules took advantage of the moment and came out of Goruba to steal the arrow and kidnap Rin for his dark ceremony. Jabi and the knights entered the Abyss Forest and fought their way to save Rin. Jabi provided a great deal of support for Kouga but eventually pinned down by the Karakuri. When Kouga defeated Legules and destroyed the barrier, the Karakuri disappeared and Jabi lives another day. After the ordeal, Kouga wondered what Jabi's plans are and she intends to stay at Kantai. She finally found someone she feels strongly to protect, Rin.
Flash KnightEdit
It is shown on Garo: Makai Senki that Jabi and Rekka had a close relationship before Rekka met Kouga. Though neither how/when they knew each other or what kind of relationship they had, Rekka shows profound respect for Jabi indicating a master-pupil or a senpai-kouhai (veteran-beginner) partnership. The fact that they are able to do a combined attack against Sigma's minion hints to the second possibility.
