Aviation - the calling of brave men, ready to take risks at any moment. Their life passes in the airplanes, and the sky becomes the native element, second home, without which existence is meaningless. Films about pilots talk about the strong spirit of pilots and brave aviation professionals.
Taking off high in the sky and safely returning to the earth is not just a profession, but a vocation. Not everyone can become a pilot and devote his entire life to aviation. But the one who still decided to become an aviator, who took responsibility for the plane and for the lives of passengers, will get a gift of life full of the romance of adventure, familiarity with the unknown, and the best view from the plane's window.
Thanks to featured films (films about planes, pilots), many boys became pilots, and girls became flight attendants. And of course, the images of the heroes, their outstanding deeds bring up good behavioral traits of the future personality in our teenagers.
The greater the difficulty the more glory in surmounting it. Skillful pilots gain their reputation from storms and tempests.- Epictetus

The industry of artificial jewelry, also known as the custom jewelry, seems to have a glittering future. Amid the COVID-19 crisis, the global market for imitation jewelry is projected to reach a revised size of US$40.6 Billion by 2027.
It can be quite easy to get into this space. But note that this market is equally dynamic. Both customer behavior and industry trends experience changes often.
If you are curious to know how to tap into the market, we are here to tell you all about it. At the end of the blog you will have all the information on how to start artificial jewelry business at home.
For starters, in order to sell imitation, ethnic, semiprecious jewelry online; one does not need a website – to “start selling.” However, if you stop just there, you will be holding your progress. So why not a website to launch?
Because, building a website needs investment. And, to bring customers on your website requires more cost. Ultimately, they both work well if your goal is to be recognized as a brand. Artificial jewelry purchase is more of a situational requirement for something cost effective or an impulse purchase. To become a brand is the next phase of your business. Therefore, instead thinking about a website first up – making the most of the available platforms is the right approach.
It is easy, one can always reach out to potential customers via social media to sell artificial jewelry. The selling point for products of such a nature is to entice impulse buy. And that works well in the scenario to showcase your products where your customers are. Social media is the perfect online marketplace for that. But, if it is so easy, why isn’t everyone successful on social media? We will cover this in the next few sections. | en |
Understanding your management style with DISC - Stepping Up Training
Have you ever wondered if there's a key to managing different people, when you seem to find some volunteers much easier to deal with than others.
Personality profiling can provide valuable insights and information to help you as a manager. There are a variety of profiles available, and this article will look at DISC, a widely used and easy to understand profiling system.
DISC is based on the extent to which you are people or task focused, and the extent to which you are outgoing, or reserved. There are four basic styles, and within that there are variations, depending on your particular balance.
The four basic styles are: D (dominance), I (influence), S (steadiness) and C (conscientiousness).
Dominance. People with this style will tend to be directive, results-focused and fast paced. The primary concern is with task, and this is an outgoing style. D's like to get things done- results are important.
Influence. People with this style will tend to be enthusiastic, outgoing, empathic and encouraging. This is a people oriented, outgoing style. I's like novelty and enjoy attention from others – collaboration is important.
Steadiness. People with this style will tend to be calm, focused, reliable, empathic and enjoy supporting and working with others. It is a people oriented, reserved style. S's like harmony, connection and making steady progress.
Conscientiousness. People with this style will tend to be detail-focused, risk-averse and good at analyzing information and thinking logically and systematically. These people are usually happy to work alone, it is a task oriented, reserved style. C's like to get things right, accuracy is important.
Your DISC profile can help you to understand your natural strengths and challenges as a manager.
It can also help you to think about how you can bring out the best in volunteers with a range of styles. What approaches and styles can you use that will work best for volunteers with different DISC profiles? There are many practical applications. For example, it can help you review the way you give instructions, offer feedback, and provide recognition and reward. One size doesn't fit all. You may find that you current approaches are very effective with some people but less so with others. DISC can help you identify why that might be, and how you can change it.
If you would like to discover more about your own DISC management profile, you can take a DISC assessment through us, with a follow up coaching session included. Please get in touch to find out more. | en |
Graphical representation of an idea often falls short of the impact of a 3 dimensional expression of the concept. Cars utilizing 3D printed components have graced auto shows for years.
Advanced manufacturing technologies were an integral part of the development of the reservoir. As with all of our projects, a design review is first conducted...
Carbon the Silicon Valley-based additive manufacturing company, today announced the launch of SpeedCell, a system of securely connected products designed to upend traditional methods of manufacturing. The first components of the SpeedCell include two new products that provide a powerful solution for additive manufacturing at scale: The M2, a robust, industrial-grade 3D printer built with manufacturers in mind; and the Smart Part Washer that enables optimal cleaning and easy finishing of parts. Carbon's Continuous Liquid Interface Production (CLIP) technology coupled with the SpeedCell system enables previously impossible designs, from single-part combinations of complex assemblies to un-moldable and un-millable geometries like lattices, while also minimizing the tooling and prototyping stages of the design process to go directly to end-use part production. Manufacturers can now cost-effectively and quickly introduce new products, produce localized products for specific markets, provide inventory on-demand, and explore a breadth of other business models. Full Press Release:
Adam Conner-Simons for MIT News: Anyone who’s watched drone videos or an episode of “BattleBots” knows that robots can break — and often it’s because they don’t have the proper padding to protect themselves. But this week researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory(CSAIL) will present a new method for 3-D printing soft materials that make robots safer and more precise in their movements — and that could be used to improve the durability of drones, phones, shoes, helmets, and more. The team’s “programmable viscoelastic material” (PVM) technique allows users to program every single part of a 3D-printed object to the exact levels of stiffness and elasticity they want, depending on the task they need for it. Cont'd...

Many great names in science have presented at the Royal Society in London. Newton, Franklin, Darwin, and, in February, our own Jenny Josephs. Admittedly, she was not there to present a novel thesis, but to teach an audience of children and adults about eating insects as part of the Parent Carer Scientist project launch.
Nonetheless the event was as grand as you might expect. Sumptuous carpets, dignified oil portraits frowning down from the walls, etc. It was a genuine privilege (and great fun) to work in these surroundings, and the audience was fantastic. It can be quite a challenge to simplify a talk well enough that children are engaged but their parents aren’t bored, but this event was extremely rewarding. The kids learned so much and asked so many great questions, then afterwards Jenny got the chance to speak individually to well-respected scientists and audience members, all of whom complimented her on the inspiring presentation. As a parting gift the RS gave Jenny a lovely bag printed with a flea design which she got to make herself.
This time we were fully prepared in terms of catering, with plenty of tasty and fun child-appropriate snacks. Falafels, buffalo worm flapjacks, pork and mealworm sausage rolls, and of course toasted soy mealworms and crickets made a spread so enticing that a lot of the (delicious!) food catered by the Royal Society ended up going uneaten. This is not quite the message of sustainability we try to promote! We took home many of the leftovers to share with friends but it was still a shame to see so much food going to waste. We hope that through our work we can help to make people more mindful of what they consume and what they waste. There are so many better uses for food than throwing it away!

Well, it’s something that needs to be done from time to time as it is, and the somewhat perplexing thing is, where does the dust come from?
Anyhoodle, we were going to have some guests for dinner today but alas, we’re getting more… wait for it….snow.
We’d best not complain though, since they’ve pretty much been having “Snowmageddon” up and down the Eastern Seaboard. Can’t say I have anything akin to “snow envy”.
Now, going out on a snow machine, that was fun. But I have no desire to have twenty grand worth of snow machines hanging around so we can then trek somewhere north to go out and try and not hit something.
I’m sure you’d just as soon not see another picture of snow, but it either gives you an opportunity to commiserate if you’re in the same snow belt, or gloat if you’re somewhere warmer. I’m reluctant to say “warm” and leave it at that, since the cold seems to creep quite a ways south it seems.
The week sort of went by. Not too much to write home about. Travelling Companion did have a doctor’s appointment on Wednesday morning, which was kind of akin to a visit to some sort of bizarro world.
I’ll try not to belabour the point, but the first “waiting room” isn’t. It’s only where you check in. THEN you have to wind your way down a somewhat narrow hallway (in my humble opinion) to get to “Waiting Room B”. Not sure what the “B” stands for, since I didn’t notice if the first area was “Waiting Room A”. Maybe the “B” stands for Boredom? The whole thing only took an hour, (*only*) with pretty much fifty minutes of that spent in the waiting area. Seriously.
Anyway, she’s fine. The blood thinner medication was off by a long shot, so they changed that. This was a slight oversight by our family doc, but that’s another story. I like the guy, and we’ve had him since he came out of med school back in the early 80s, but I told him, “Stop delivering babies!”. He’s got over 5000 patients!
As part of my next project, I really need to remove the flooring and trim from where the cabinets are going to go, and it didn’t take me too long to remember just how freakin’ tough oak is. I gave up on trying to cut by hand in a hurry, and went shopping.
The oscillating thingy is good in tight spots, but you can only really cut the width of that blade on each painfully slow pass.
I guess I have nothing else floating around in my pea brain. Time to go out and clear the driveway. Again.
That new tool looks like something Bill would love to have... looks a bit like that Makita reciprocating saw he has... that he used to cut out all those tight spaces in his latest project. About all we need is another tool to carry around with us... we're practically a full equipped workshop now. Hey... I'm not complaining... saves a bundle when you can do it yourself. Now... about "Waiting Room B"... that's the one where you freeze your buns off... you've already disrobed and are in that skimpy gown and it takes an hour for the doctor to come in.
Yep, our daughter in Nova Scotia has been hit hard with the snow. Last Sunday she had to stay overnight at work and the work the next day, which was her day off because the guy that was suppose to come in couldn't. Sure hope that your weather starts to improve. Looks like you have projects to do, just in case it takes a while to warm up!
More new tools, loved all the tools I used to have, but alas , they are no more and ya know I have gotten by not too bad. Still a little tool envy though.

The Church’s annual trip to Oldenburg to offer soothing services (hand and foot massages, Reiki, facial massage, etc.) to the sisters who live in the retirement community of the convent, is quickly approaching on SUNDAY, January 26, 2014. If you’ve participated in the past, you know what a blessing this is for the sisters as well as for those of us who perform the services. If you’ve not been a part of this healing day in the past, please plan on joining us! It’s a great way to get to know other church members and participate in a meaningful way to our outreach in the community! Dress comfortably (it’s usually VERY warm in the area where we work)
We will be carpooling immediately following the service and so need to know the number of people planning to attend and those who would be available to drive. Please contact me by email ([email protected]) to sign up or ask any questions you may have about the event. If you are unable to attend but would like to contribute to help purchase supplies and snacks, Frank Ziegler will be at church next Sunday to accept your gifts.
Turn RIGHT onto Prospect Street heading east, to Southeastern Avenue.Turn RIGHT onto Southeastern Avenue heading east, which turns into I-74 towards Cincinnati. Take Exit #149 Oldenburg/Batesville and turn LEFT at the end of the ramp heading into Oldenburg. At Main Street, turn RIGHT, go two blocks (you will pass the front of the convent on the left) and turn LEFT at the Post Office. On your left you will see a drive to St. Claire Health Care Center where you will park and enter through the entrance there. We will be on the second floor in the recreation area.
If you get lost or are running late, please call 812-934-2475 which is the convent switchboard and ask for Sr. Mary Ruth Forthoufer who is our primary contact.
Plan on arriving in Oldenburg by 1:00 pm. Appointments start at 1:30 and end at 4:30. A musical concert by David Meek will begin at 4:30, followed by dinner with the sisters. We generally head home by 6:00 pm.

Many Americans want to help the people suffering from recent natural disasters in the U.S. and elsewhere.
There’s no shortage of media reports listing groups that are taking these donations, which may ultimately total billions of dollars. But how can you make the most of your contributions?
Having researched giving in the wake of disasters and taught students how to be effective philanthropists, I’ve learned that it’s hard to make good decisions regarding donations – especially when there are many urgent needs and countless ways to spend charitable dollars.
The ideal way to show your compassion is to donate money to a charity that you respect rather than shipping cartons of diapers and cases of canned chili.
It’s easy to think of disasters in personal terms: “What if it were me or my family?” and picture what you’d need if you suddenly became homeless: clothes, food or toys. But goods given during emergencies often go to waste. Giving these things may make you feel like you’re making a real difference, but they can even do more harm than good when they interfere with disaster response efforts.

But first, do your homework to learn about an organization’s past performance. Established organizations are usually your best bet because they are the most apt to have staff, experience, infrastructure and roots in affected communities. National organizations like the Red Cross and the Salvation Army have long track records in disaster response – albeit with some baggage.
To give locally, support groups firmly rooted in the affected area. Most American cities have United Way chapters and community foundations. After disasters these organizations typically raise money for relief work and make an effort to direct donations to where the funds are most needed. In the aftermath of both Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, United Way Worldwide has established funds to support relief efforts in Texas and Florida.
Similarly, community foundations based in Houston, Beaumont, Texas and Miami have established relief funds. These organizations have a long history of service to their local communities.
Sadly, many people outside the United States are also suffering from recent disasters. Not only has Hurricane Irma ravaged the Caribbean, but Mexico experienced its largest earthquake in a century, which also caused damage in Guatemala. The death toll is nearing 100, yet it has garnered scant attention in the U.S.
The earthquake as well as floods and landslides in Bangladesh and other South Asian countries also require disaster relief. Established international organizations such as UNICEF and Americares are seeking donations to support those efforts.

Photos and video clips of streets transformed into rivers, stranding residents, can create an urge to make a difference immediately. But, as previous disasters like Superstorm Sandy and Hurricane Katrina showed, the needs are sure to mount. That’s why more than one in four organizations created after 9/11 was still providing relief five years later.
Be mindful that people in afflicted areas throughout Texas, Florida, Mexico, Guatemala, the Caribbean and South Asia will need our money long after recent disasters stop making headlines. Your donation may matter six months or even years from now as much as it does today. Nonetheless, donation forms may offer you the option to indicate how you want your contribution used – including having it spent right away if you feel strongly about it.

If getting your money to Jacksonville, Florida or another community fast is your top concern, make online donations with a credit card or a debit card. Even “a check in the mail” would transmit funds faster than texting, says Brian Mittendorf, who teaches accounting at the Ohio State University Fisher College of Business. | en |

[March 29, 2014] By Lauren Tara LaCapra
NEW YORK (Reuters) — James Gorman, Morgan Stanley's <MS.N> chief executive and chairman, was awarded total compensation of $12 million for 2013, double what he got the previous year, the bank said in its proxy filing on Friday.
Although still less profitable than rivals, Morgan Stanley finished its acquisition of the Smith Barney business from Citigroup Inc <C.N>, whittled down more of a big book of problematic fixed-income trades, and laid out plans to hit a return-on-equity of 10 percent in the near term.
In describing its rationale for Gorman's pay, the board cited those factors, as well as cost-cutting, a narrowing of Morgan Stanley's credit-default swap spreads — indicating the bond market views the bank as less risky — and the start of a stock repurchasing program for the first time since the financial crisis.
Its return-on-equity last year was less than half of Gorman's target, and rivals including Goldman Sachs Group Inc <GS.N> and JPMorgan Chase & Co <JPM.N> are more profitable and further along in plans to return excess capital to shareholders. | en |

Message from President Wu Hanling for New Staff: May You Grow with Smiles and Achievements-News&Information
Message from President Wu Hanling for New Staff: May You Grow with Smiles and Achievements
Mr. Wu Hanling, President of Handi Group, visited the new staff who were having the summer training in Yangpn Technical School on 24 August. Mr. Wu Hanling welcomed the new staff on behalf of Handi Group and thanked them for choosing Handi, saying that "You are the hope and future of Handi".
Mr. Wu Hanling delivered a speech with passion, the theme of which is The Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow of Handi. When he said that, "Opportunities are for those who are prepared. Handi Group is under rapid growth and is in need of talents on various fields. You fresh graduates are seeds to grow into big trees. Many key positions are waiting for you." he was accorded a standing ovation. Mr. Wu's speech encouraged and stimulated every new comer, urging them to work hard, wo grow themselves together with the company.
Yesterday of Handi
Mr. Wu Hanling firstly introduced himself and shared his experience of starting his business. Born in a small village in Hunan Province, Mr. Wu is never afraid of afraid of hardships and difficulties. His military experience, particularly the years in frontline, taught him to fight for everything. From the frontline to headquarter and later to military enterprise, Mr. Wu learnt enough to start his own business. When HDS was founded in 2006, Mr. Wu knew little about petrochemical industry and made many mistakes. But, with his persistence, pragmatic attitude and years of hard working, HDS steadily grew into a leading company in the specialty oils industry with annual capacity of over 300,000 ton. The Phase III project will be the world largest single specialty oil plant which produces 1.5 million ton specialty oil and 150,000 ton Pharmaceutical and Food Grade White Oil per year. Finally, Mr. Wu emphasized that, "You come at a good when the Phase III project is entering the final stage. As the pillar of new Handi, you should know our history."
Today of Handi
"You are so lucky to join Handi at its best stage of rapid development." said Mr. Wu Hanling with pride, "When the Phase III Project is completed, it will be the world largest single plant of specialty oils with top level technology and most robust product lines. We already have business with more than 20 top 500 companies in the world. The Phase III Project has drawn attention from peer companies and media at the very beginning." Mr. Wu Hanling hopes that the training could help new staff quickly grasp the knowledge and skills. As a private company, there is no bureaucracy but a healthy environment for those with capabilities to show themselves. Handi embrace talents and appreciate new bloods. Mr. Wu hopes that new staff understand their tasks and missions.
Tomorrow of Handi
Hainan is a good place blessed with all preferential policies. Hainan will be the window of China's reform, which is the result of time. Xiong An Development Zone is the strategic movement propelled by domestic demand, while Hainan is the representative of external demand and overseas market development. Hainan development is now included in national strategy. Hainan will become the frontier of China's reform.
Handi upstream business is located in Yangpu, Hainan Province, while its downstream is settled in Nantong, Jiangsu Province, which is the most important lubricant market in China. Handi is building its lubricant R&D base there, the designed capacity of which is 500,000 ton/year high tier lubricants and 50,000 ton/year graphene grease. The largest capacity may reach 800,000 ton per year. "We are building a full industry chain lubricant business with unprecedented advantages. Supported by two production bases in Yangpu and Nantong, Handi Group is actively engaged in other industries like Energy Trading, Healthcare and Investment." Said Mr. Wu Hanling, "There are tremendous opportunities waiting for you. But now your priority is making best use of the training and get prepared for the Phase III Project commission and operation."
Mr. Wu Hanling also illustrated the origin of the name of group HANDI. He founded the first company Shenzhen Handi Trading Co., Ltd. in 1995. The character HAN means the Galaxy, while the character DI means the ground. Handi is a name of philosophy connotation. "A bright future is right ahead of us," said Mr. Wu, "A lot of opportunities are here for you to develop. You may encounter difficulties at the beginning. But all the difficulties and failures will only make you stranger if you beat them. To arm yourselves with knowledge, with strong mind and body. Let's do something great together."
At last, President Wu Hanling instructed HR and Admin to take good care of new staff and wish everyone to grow with smiles and achievements. | en |
Cosy guesthouse by the sea near Stockholm ใน Saltsjöbaden, Stockholms län, สวีเดน
ที่พักทั้งหลัง · Saltsjöbaden
Located at 20' from central Stockholm by car, this lovely and modern guesthouse is at a walking distance of the sea side in a middle of the natural reserve at the entrance of the Archipelago. Calm, cosy, designed decoration and modern equipment, kitchenette, bathroom, confortable bed with linen and towels. Access to a heated swimming pool.
Access to the swimming pool from May to October.
Jerome and Katell's guesthouse is absolutely wonderful! The design is modern and sleek. I love the high ceilings the large glass windows which make the space feel specious. The bed is really comfortable with memory foam padding. The neighbor is secluded, quiet and safe. It is a good idea to have a car so you can commute easily. Jerome and Katell are both so friendly and gracious. I have to say, staying at their guesthouse was one of the best airbnb experiences that I've had. Hopefully I will make my way back to Stockholm in the Spring or Summer and have more time to enjoy everything the area has to offer!
Great location if you love nature. 20 min drive to the city. The weather wasn't good but we used the heated pool and sauna which was amazing. Also used Jerome's bikes which were very good. Lots of nature trails and water near by. Very peaceful environment. Comfortable bed and all the amenities you would need. Jerome is a very good host.....quick to help with anything and provide recommendations. 5 star place
This amazing guest house has everything! The location is fantastic, it's tucked away in the beautiful forest, surrounded by the lakes, and it's less than 15 mins drive to central Stockholm (not that you need to, when you are surrounded by nature, going in to central might be the last thing on our mind). The super market is less than 5 mins drive, and pretty much all the shops are around the same distance. The hosts are extremely friendly and helpful! We felt so welcomed and would not hesitate to stay at theirs again should we return to to Stockholm.
Wonderful place in the heart of sweden! Jerome and his family are great hosts, always available for an advice and very kind. The home is clean and confortable. I'll go back there for sure.
Nice place in a nice environment
Jerome and Katell are great hosts! My girlfriend and I spent 6 days at their place and we loved it! The surrounding environment is just stunning (great nature, beatuiful islands, nice restaurants) and the location is just as perfect for a relaxing few days at the beach as well as for small trips to Stockholm or other places in the archipelargo! I would definitely recommend it!
I'm French and after living 20 years in Paris as a director and graphic designer, I decided to come to live in Stockholm with my wife and my 14 yo son to embrasse the resourceful Scandinavian way of life. We live in a natural reserve by the Baltic sea at only 20' from central Stockholm. I love living close to nature, photography and design. | en |

Lecture 4 - Prime Numbers; The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic - Math453
Lecture 4 - Prime Numbers; The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic
Today we spent the first half of the class exploring questions about prime numbers. Along the way we proved that there are infinitely many prime numbers and that there are arbitrarily large gaps between prime numbers. We also saw a formula which gives a rough count for the number of integers up to a given number x, and we saw some conjectures about other behaviors about prime numbers. In the last half of the class we started a proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic.
Having actually gone through and talked about the basics regarding prime numbers, we now begin to wonder what can be said about primes. Here are a few basic questions you might want to know
are all composite, since the first is divisible by 2, the second by 3, etc. $\square$
For those who are interested, the record largest twin primes to date can be found at The Largest Known Primes Page; as of this morning, the largest twin primes were
This says that for large values of x, the number of primes less than or equal to x is about $\frac{x}{\ln(x)}$.
The largest primes found these days all happen to take a particular form: they can be expressed as $2^p-1$ for a prime number p. These are the so-called Mersenne Primes. There was a recent development (i.e., early last semester), when the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS) came across the new largest prime number. This number is
$2^{43112609}-1$
and has around 13 million digits. If you want, you can use your computer to help GIMPS out; maybe it will be your computer which finds the next largest prime!
The Primes Under Addition
Finally, we consider the question: what happens when you add together prime numbers? Since primes are defined based upon a multiplicative property, one might not expect that they really have a lot of interesting additive structure. It seems, however, that they have a very rich additive structure. For instance, here's a long-standing conjecture about how the primes behave under addition:
Goldbach's Conjecture: Every even integer at least 4 can be expressed as the sum of two prime numbers.
Though plenty of smart people have been thinking about this problem for a couple of hundred years, and although it has been verified for "lots" of even numbers (can someone post to the Wiki how many even integers have been verified to satisfy this condition?), no one has yet been able to prove that it is true.
Having covered many of the basics, it's now time for us to knock down the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic. This theorem is something which you all have seen many times before — whether explicitly or not — and is an incredibly useful tool in number theory.
We need a preliminary lemma before we can knock down the Fundamental Theorem. This preliminary result is known as Euclid's Lemma, and it is essentially a special case of one of your homework problems for the week (44a).
Euclid's Lemma: If p is a prime number and $p \mid ab$, then either $p \mid a$ or $p \mid b$.
Proof: Suppose that $p \nmid a$, and we'll argue that $p \mid b$. For this, notice that $p \nmid a$ forces $(p,a) = 1$ — the only divisors of p are 1 and itself, and we already know that p isn't a divisor of a. Applying 44a from your homework gives the desired result. $\square$
We're now ready to prove the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic. Recall that it says
The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic - Every positive integer at least 2 can be uniquely expressed as a product of prime numbers.
We'll break our proof into two parts
Existence: that every $n > 1$ can be written as $n = p_1\cdots p_r$ for some prime numbers $p_i$
Uniqueness: there is only one such way to factor a given integer
We only had time in class to cover the first statement; we'll prove the second in class on Monday.
Existence: Suppose that there were integers greater than 1 which couldn't be factored into a product of primes. This would mean that there is a smallest such integer (by the well-ordering principle), and we'll call this smallest element n. Now n can't be prime since otherwise n is already an expression of itself as a product of primes. Hence $n = ab$ for some $1 < a,b < n$. Since both a and b are smaller than n, this means that they must be elements which do have prime factorizations (since n was selected as the smallest positive integer which didn't have this property). Therefore $a = p_1 \cdots p_k$ and $b = q_1 \cdots q_r$ for appropriate primes $p_i,q_j$. But then we have
\begin{align} n = ab = p_1\cdots p_k q_1 \cdots q_r, \end{align}
a prime factorization of n. Since this contradicts the selection of n as the least element without a prime factorization, we must conclude that every integer greater than 1 can be factored as a product of primes. | en |
We offer excellent study conditions and an active student life. Our facilities are modern and our campus in the heart of Hamburg is bright and friendly. During their studies at HSBA and the in-company-trainings, students receive academic support from teaching staff and help in all other issues from management. Our small study groups facilitate productive discussions and work. But what makes the atmosphere here at HSBA so special? This question can only be answered with “our students”. Apart from their demanding studies, they are still very motivated and participate in many student initiatives, committees and projects. Low dropout rates and high levels of students´ satisfaction are the result of this concept.

HSBA Studenten
Studying and living in Hamburg
The friendly atmosphere of HSBA's city campus in the heart of Hamburg provides the best possible study conditions, while small study groups facilitate productive discussions and work. The library contains all literature, databases and journals relevant to studies. With our Digital Toolbox we offer optimal learning conditions and an environment to prepare for today’s and tomorrow’s digital challenges.
Hamburg is perfect for study, work and leisure. International and German students alike feel at home here, and it's no surprise that Hamburg is repeatedly cited as one of the best German cities to live in.
HSBA ensures that all new students feel right at home by offering individual support depending on each student's unique situation.
Jana Tolle
Student Engagement
We are very proud that our students get involved in many different committees and develop their personal and soft skills in extracurricular activities. As a student you can join, amongst others, the following committees: Committee for Community Projects, Entrepreneurs’ Club, Events Committee, HSBA Band, HSBA Cheerleading, HSBA Innovation, HSBA Finance Conference Team, HSBA Hockey, HSBA Rowing, International Committee, News Committee, Sports Committee, Stock Market Club as well as a Trade Fair Team.
Magunia
Study Approach
HSBA’s academic approach follows the fundamental principle of duality: combining a challenging theoretical study programme with practical professional experience. Students acquire knowledge and methodological skills in lectures and apply these in practice, e.g. in problematic situations, projects and work settings provided by the partner companies. Based on these experiences, the knowledge acquired is then discussed, reflected upon and continuously expanded on in the lectures. In order to ensure sustained transfer of scientific theory to company practice, we select our teaching staff carefully. The HSBA currently has 32 full-time, specialised professors who are supported by around 150 lecturers. Interplay of academic excellence and extensive professional experience in well known companies is very important in this regard.
Attractive career prospects
The students receive a very good university education and are at the same time fit for the job market. More than 90 percent of the students receive job offers for the next career step in their partner company immediately after finishing their studies.
Internationality
HSBA cooperates with various foreign universities both in the field of student exchange (Erasmus / Overseas) and teacher mobility. The study system of HSBA offers special opportunities for stays abroad. In return, exchange students also complete part of their studies at the HSBA. Due to the compatibility of the study programmes with the ECTS system, credits earned at other universities can also be recognised at the HSBA without any problems.
HSBA Hamburg School of Business Administration is committed to the standards and goals of the National Code of Conduct on Foreign Students at German Higher Education Institutions by Gate Germany and the German Rectors' Conference and implements the quality standards stated there for the study of foreigners at German universities. | en |
Easterns Automotive Group of Hyattsville – Internet Cheaters
My husband and I went to Easterns in Hyattsville, a bit of a hike for us from Baltimore, but we had our eye on one particular vehicle, and as a back-up option had seen a number of hybrid vehicles at that site that we liked as well. We rushed after work, both busy professionals, to be able to get the purchase completed in one night and not have to continue driving each other to work.
We met Carl, who seemed like a nice enough salesperson, found the car we were interested in, and then the experience went downhill from there. We had to wait for an initial credit decision after completing the application, and we were offered an unusually high interest rate, considering that I have a mortgage, a good income, and have no missed or late payments. I had not eaten dinner because we rushed there after work, and had watched our sales person eat dinner in front of us while waiting for.
I snapped and said I was walking away, and was asked what interest rate I was looking for – then magically after more than of waiting, was able to get close to the interest rate I was looking for. The finance manager offered us something to drink after he had overheard me complain about how long we were waiting and that we had eaten no dinner. We finalized the deal, but not after being pressured by our salesperson to leave an on the spot review of our experience (I don't really think he wanted to see how I was really feeling at that point – I told my husband twice that I wanted to walk out and he had convinced me to stay because of how long we had already invested there).
A week after purchasing the car, a plastic liner under the hood that's bolted into the front bumper of the car came unbolted and was hanging/dragging on the ground. I had to keep pushing the piece back up in place, and it finally ended up getting caught while I was driving and ripped. The staff at Easterns made me bring the car there to look at, and asked so many questions to insinuate that it occurred because of damage and would not be covered under the "Warranty" they had offered. They told us they would give the benefit of the doubt and replace the part (the right thing to do when you have first time customers and you've sold an expensive used vehicle), but we would have to drive to Hyattsville AGAIN in order to have it fixed.
They waited until we came to pick up the car two days later to drop the bomb on us that they did not replace the part, but rather just bolted the broken plastic piece back into the inside of the bumper (which could have been done at the dealership close to us or done when we brought the car to be looked at the first time). I would never recommend or return to a place that pulls a bait and switch like that – if they had even just done that "fix" the first time we brought it in, I might not even be this angry. But to make us come back again after telling us it would be replaced (and not providing a loaner car for those two days) was disrespectful and rude. Never again! If I could give back the car and get my money back, I would.

Christian Health Care Adult Day Services of Wyckoff Client is 106 Years Young! | Christian Health Care Center
Christian Health Care Woodhaven of Wyckoff Client is 106 Years Young!
At age 106, Susie Rothwell is the oldest client ever to be admitted to Christian Health Woodhaven of Wyckoff, where she attends the program three days a week. A longtime former resident of Passaic, she currently lives in Hawthorne with her son, John Rothwell. The mother of 10 children, four sons and six daughters, also has 26 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
About her experience at the adult day services program, she said, "I like it because it gets me out of the house. I like to be with people."
"She really enjoys being there," said Mr. Rothwell. "Since I live with her, I can't really bring anything new to the table. I can't 'girl chat,' so it gives her people to talk to and new things to do."
Mrs. Rothwell started working at the young age of 14. She worked in a handkerchief factory in Passaic, drove a school bus in Wayne and Oakland, cleaned houses, and babysat. She taught Sunday School for many years at the Franklin Lakes Baptist Church, where she is still a member. While she used to crochet, she said her main hobby is "to keep going!"
"She immediately befriended other clients at the program, who were shocked and admired her age and sharpness," said MJ Paulison, Christian Health Woodhaven of Wyckoff Assistant Administrator/Activities Director. "She is an inspiration. She has seen so much, experienced so much, and lost so much in 106 years, but her attitude is one of gratitude and faith. She also has a great sense of humor and otherwise a quiet demeanor, so she can really take you by surprise with her wit. She shows us every day how important faith, love, and humor are for a long and meaningful life."
"Holding on to God's hand," she said. "He leads the way."
Christian Health Woodhaven of Wayne and Wyckoff are medical and social programs designed to help seniors maintain independence and improve their quality of life, while also offering a welcome respite for caregivers. Clients are often individuals who live alone or with family. They may have a physical or cognitive impairment, be socially isolated, need assistance with personal care, or require minimum assistance to function independently. In a safe, friendly environment, participants can receive medical care, nutrition services, social services, pastoral care, and personal-care services. In addition, planned activities and recreational programs encourage socialization and engagement, both of which have been proven to help keep the mind sharp. | en |

To be sure, figurative drawing 145 years after Ruskin wrote this complaint is a different gamble.

COVID virus made in Wuhan lab: Chinese virologist says, with 'proof' COVID virus made in Wuhan lab: Chinese virologist says, with 'proof'
COVID virus made in Wuhan lab: Chinese virologist says, with 'proof'
In a repeat allegation, a Chinese virologist has said the coronavirus, which causes COVID-19, was manufactured in a laboratory in Wuhan, China. She claimed to have a proof for China's guilt. Li-Meng Yan, who has supposedly fled China after becoming a whistleblower in the case, claimed to have evidence to show that the deadly virus was made in a Wuhan lab.
Earlier, Shi Zhengli, who earned the epithet of Batwoman due to her work on the flying mammals, had almost said it.
Worse, detective agencies of different countries have found out that China was making an improvised SARS virus as a biological weapon that either leaked accidentally or was deliberately unleashed on the world.
Meanwhile, an alliance of sleuths from the US, the UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand referred to as 'Five Eyes' has exposed the P4 lab of Wuhan, China, where Shi Zhengli, the 'batwoman', is the deputy director
a @SirfNewsIndia reporthttps://t.co/M9jLmLO7Dv
— Prafulla C Tiwari (@PrafullaCTiwari) June 14, 2020
Yesterday, Li claimed she has proof that the virus came from a virology lab in the city and not from the wet-food market. "The genome sequence is like a human fingerprint," she said in the video released on YouTube.
ITV's Loose Women described Dr Li-Meng Yan as "a scientist who was working at the Hong Kong School of Public Health when she turned whistleblower on the Chinese government after she alleged they knew about the spread of the coronavirus before publicly acknowledging the outbreak."
Li joined the Loose Women talk from a secret location. She said on the show on COVID, "Dr Li claims she had to flee to the US for her own safety and is now determined to spread her findings to the world. She joined the Loose Women from a secret location to tell us why she felt compelled to speak out, even if it meant putting her life on the line."
Li stated that while she was working at Hong Kong's School of Public Health, she was asked by her supervisor first to investigate a new "SARS-like" virus in Wuhan on 31 December — but that her efforts were later stifled. She claimed further that she had been asked to keep silent and careful when she reported that cases appeared to be rising exponentially
"Based on this you can identify these things. "I will [use this] evidence to tell people why this has come from the lab in China, why they are the ones who made it," she adds. "Anyone, even if you have no biology knowledge, will be able to read it, and check and identify and verify it yourself," she said as quoted in the article.
Accusing the Chinese authorities of dismissing her even before she fled the country, Li said, "They deleted all my information and also they told people to spread rumours about me."
The Chinese National Health Commission, World Health Organisation and the University Of Hong Kong have, for reasons not difficult to figure, disputed her claims. This story (click on the link) is as far as the WHO's credibility goes.
COVID did not affect China's industrial hub Shanghai or its capital Beijing but spread far across the world, raising the suspicion it was a deliberate act of waging a biological war on mankind so that China gets to dominate the world economy in the post-pandemic scenario. | en |
He came from so far away… – …STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
He came from so far away…
I don't know what he's doing here, the very nice, good-looking man, not all that young, and speaks Hokkien in that very pleasant way that I hear when my Penang friends speak the dialect.
Well, this is at another side of town, one that I do not venture to all that frequently. For one thing, they tell me that it comes alive only at night when all the shops and stalls there will be will be open and I don't usually go out at night unless I really have to. Anyway, it so happened that I was there that morning and in the morning, the coffee shops would be open but the stalls would be closed except for a few here and there. We were walking past this one (2.32825,111.855484)…
…(opposite Wonderful Supermarket & Departmental Store, Ulu Sg Merah) when I saw a stall selling Hokkien mee (RM5.00)…
…and it was open!
Of course I just HAD to stop by and try. I don't know of any other place in town selling this other than one restaurant where I had it twice – it tasted very good, just like the real thing – more or less like what I had here but they used our regular not-so-yellow noodles. How could it be the same if they did not use that special, bigger type of noodles? That is why I never went back again so I do not know whether it is still available there or not.
Needless to say, I was delighted to see that this guy here used the right kind of noodles…and he fried them in freshly-rendered lard, leaving the pork fat crusts behind. I am ok with lard but I am not fond of those crusts so I picked them out one by one and left them by the side. As for the taste, I would say it was nice but no, it somehow was not quite there. Ah well!!! As they say, beggars can't be choosers – as far as I know, it is the only one there is in town and I must give due credit to the guy for the effort he put into his cooking – with all the banging of the wok and all and it did take him quite a while. Besides, he did not state KL Hokkien mee on his menu…
…so I guess he could always reserve the right to be a little different and most importantly, it was nice enough for me – I did like it, I would say this much.
When I shared the photograph of the noodles on Facebook, somebody commented that his sambal fried kway teow (RM5.00)…
…was very good and that was what my missus had. Yes, she said, it was indeed very good, just that she would love it a bit spicier. Perhaps we could put in a special request for that the next time we drop by here.
I noticed on the banner…
…hanging above the stall that he also had fried kuih lobak or fried (white) carrot cake, also known as koay khak. I ordered that…
…to take home and try but I thought it was a little bit sweet, not really to my liking. My girl loves that so maybe one day, we would go there and let her sample and see whether she likes it or not. I guess I would be heading in that direction sometime and should we be around there again, I sure would not mind stopping by here to have the same or maybe try something else.
I did manage to exchange a few words with the guy and asked if he was local but he said no, he's from Penang. Wow!!! He had come from so far away to set up his business here – I wonder why!

With the first dish perhaps the man did not see the need for the special noodle, if the dish was just as tasty without?
I like spicy too and so perhaps I would have echoed your wife's sentiments?
That type of noodles are not available here, can't just go to the shop and buy so unless one make one's own, one would have to resort to a substitute – the regular local noodles. Of course, it tasted great as well…just that the texture of the noodles was not quite there, less firmer and it certainly did not look quite the same. Same also if we use spaghetti or macaroni to fry fried kway teow (flat rice noodles) – will taste great, just not quite the same.
The sauce on the Hokkien Mee glistens! It's almost calling me to fork in. 😉
It was pretty good, not as good as the really good ones I had in KL but good enough.
Maybe he used to work in Sibu or married a local girl and decided to open his food business there??
I would prefer my carrot cake to be salty. Not sweet.
The fried kway tiaw looks good.
I haven't the slightest idea. Me too! Not all that fond of his carrot cake because of that slight sweetness in the taste. Missus loved the kway teow but would like it spicier.
Hockkien mee & fried kway teow looks great. I prefer salty char kuih to sweet & the above looks like salty ones. Normally sweet ones will be darker in colour considering they have added either gula apong/ sweet sauce.
Oh? There are sweet ones? First time tasting it and no, I am not at all fond of it. Hard to find this here – not common.
Walah! Your hokkien mee looks so so good.. I love mine with extra lard, I can eat a big plate! Usually when I go for tai chau, must-order are fried rice, hokkien mee, claypot tofu (with eggy starchy gravy for the kids) and some egg dish (fu-yong egg or steamed egg, for the kids too).. And oooo, I see kuey-kak too.. Here, I call it "chau lobak koh", love mine with extra taugeh and spring onions.. Yummzzz… 😛
We call it chai thow koi – or carrot cake. I think a lot in Kuching buy not many places selling this here. Yet to come across one that I really like. This one's just ok, would have been nice if not for the little bit of sweetness.
The koay teow does not quite look like koay teow? A lot fatter than the usual ones
I've mentioned this many many times before – you have not been paying attention or you have a failing memory? That's our kway teow here which I am not all that fond of. Prefer the West Malaysian ones – finer, smoother and translucent though there are people who prefer our local ones. To each his own, I guess.
:O Sorry cikgu, u wanna spank me? 😥
Oh??? You like that? Ouch! Ouch! Muahahahahaha!!!
The KL Hokkien mee looks very good, glistening in pork lard.. haha 😉
It was good, just not quite like some nice ones I had over at your side.
lard…got liver ka? If got liver too then would be perfect. Hmmm…not quite there ya…. Must give him feed back lo . Then will have room for improvement
Can't put my finger on it – not enough garlic, different type of soy sauce used, too much gravy… There's liver in Hokkien mee? Maybe that's the missing link?
The coffee shop culture here, I guess you can't find anything quite the same there.
ooo, i haven't had lunch yet, and i'm craving carbs, so your post is quite mouthwatering … sambal kuey teow and koay kak, both served steaming-hot to my table, pls 😀
Gee! You can eat so much? I ate one there, had to order takeaway, the carrot cake.
I love fried carrot cake but these ones don't look as soft….needs a bit more soy for better caramelisation if you ask me! 😉
Would be just nice if it did not have that hint of sweetness.
So far, the fried carrot cake here, so far, i only came across one stall that has bean sprout in it, the rest that i eat before, no bean sprout…
I can't remember whether the ones I had in the west had bean sprouts or not. Not so bothered about it – more concerned about the taste. I had some great ones over there…though I can't remember where now – Penang, I think.
We call the carrot cake chai thow koi too. Long ago we couldn't get it here; and another migrant taught me to get crumpets, chop into cubes and fry up like chai thow koi. It was a good substitute, though admittedly a different texture. I still do it sometimes here.
I used steamed yam cake to do it, great substitute too. 😀
oooh… the big noodles , char kway teow and carrot cake all looks good leh! Hard to find these in SG though I can still get the latter two in JB but not the fat big noodles. That one I need to go to KL to eat!
Oh? I thought those are hard to get over here only. Hmmmm… 🙂
The hokkien mee looks good enough. Perhaps he married a Sibu girl.
Maybe. I didn't ask.
The guy was from Penang so hopefully the noodles have that Penang taste. Maybe he married a Sibu girl like Mun mentioned. In Terengganu, we have this terminology – SMT which means Sangkut Mek Terengganu, meaning those guys from outside Terengganu got stuck (married) to Terengganu girls 😀
I haven't the slightest idea – did not ask…but usually, the wife would follow the hubby, no?
lucky you! its a penang bloke cooking penang food…not like what we get these days in KL or Penang.
LOL!!! So I heard. Either a Bangla or a Myanmarese, they tell me. In Singapore, it would be those PRCs. One was caught on camera cutting off the dead skin from her hand using a knife and then using it to cut the food. Yuckssss!!!!!

The government, said the Commissioner, should not be allowed to give valuable mid-band spectrum to a favored entity to directly compete with the private sector. He finds flaws in the notion that this is the solution to provide broadband to the entire country, especially to rural areas. “Wireless dead spots,” while shrinking every day, said O’Rielly, “exist because of the extreme terrain and extraordinary cost of deploying in these areas, and there is no evidence that this wholesale network won’t have the same problems, especially without any proven track record or relationships with any existing, active wireless tower providers.”
O’Rielly said he’s not sad about leaving the agency later this fall. He’s “very excited” for what lies ahead. He spent the first 20 years of his career working in Republican communication policy and leadership positions on Capitol Hill.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – After passing $3 trillion of coronavirus relief in a rare run of bipartisanship, Republicans and Democrats in the U.S. Congress girded for a new battle over federal assistance to states and local governments grappling with the deadly outbreak.
Spurred on by governors and local officials, Democrats have put out the word they want to provide a sizable rescue package as part of a broader bill – one that could total at least $2 trillion in coming weeks.
House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi warned on Friday, “There will not be a bill without state and local” aid. | en |

WATCH: One-year-old Irish girl is completely blown away by her mammy's amazing singing voice | JOE is the voice of Irish people at home and abroad
24-year-old Sarah McTernan sat down in front of the camera with her one-year-old daughter Mia and starts to sing, and little Mia's reaction is INCREDIBLE.
Sarah, originally from Clare but currently living in Limerick, belts out an amazing rendition of Ariana Grande's hit single 'Dangerous Woman', but can barely keep it together when she sees Mia's jaw drop.
Speaking to JOE, Sarah tells us that Mia's actually 20-months-old (her birthday is coming up this September), and she is obviously as big an Ariana fan as her mum is, who actually came in 3rd place in the fourth series of The Voice Of Ireland. | en |

Archival Material now on Civil War Petitions!
So Civil War Petitions is now fully up and running! With images and transcriptions of original documents, exhaustive calendars of payment records gathered from the archives, and an array of different ways of searching the documents and records to interrogate them further, Civil War Petitions promises to provide comprehensive coverage of military welfare in England Wales during and after the Civil Wars. For a full guide to the type of material that you will be able to find on Civil War Petitions, visit the About the Data page. For a full explanation of some of the terms used, visit the Glossary. However, Civil War Petitions is very much still a work in progress! The research team have been working hard, travelling all over the country to gather data. So far, we have material on Civil War Petitions from the following counties: Denbighshire Dorset Durham East Riding of Yorkshire Essex Gloucestershire Hampshire Town and County of Kingston-upon-Hull Town and County of Newcastle-upon-Tyne North Riding of Yorkshire Northumberland Worcestershire West Riding of Yorkshire City and County of York Unsurprisingly, the survival rate for the documents is patchy, depending on the locality. Not all counties have any surviving petitions or certificates, or a complete set of order books or treasurers’ accounts for the payment records. However, the team have gathered any relevant data from the material still in existence. Not all of the data gathered so far has been uploaded to Civil War Petitions. The counties finished uploading all the data for are: Durham Essex Hampshire Town and County of Kingston-upon-Hull Town and County of Newcastle-upon-Tyne Northumberland City and County of York A few additional payment records need to be added for Dorset, East Riding of Yorkshire and North Riding of Yorkshire. A few additional petitions need to be added for Worcestershire. This work will be completed over the next few weeks. Large numbers of petitions and certificates have been found in Denbighshire (over 300!), as well as extensive treasurers’ accounts for this county, whilst the West Riding of Yorkshire also has a large number of petitions and certificates (over 100) and very extensive order books. Gloucestershire has a smaller number of petitions and certificates (19), as has North Riding (23). The completion of these four counties are very much our immediate focus and will be added as a series of mini-updates over the next quarter. Do keep an eye on our Twitter and Facebook feed for news of when these have been added. The project will thereafter upload further archival material in a series of quarterly updates. The counties which you can expect to see coming soon include: Berkshire City and County of Bristol Herefordshire Lincolnshire Nottinghamshire In addition, we expect Civil War Petition’s mapping functions and better graphics for the Events and Injuries pages to be ready later this autumn. Civil War Petitions was officially launched by the project team at the National Civil War Centre on Thursday 26 July 2018. We were delighted to welcome academics, university staff, students, archivists, school teachers, museum professionals, representatives of modern military welfare charities, descendants of leading Civil War families and local government officials amongst our guests. All have been, or soon will be, involved in some way in our project and we would like to thank everyone who has in some way supported us. We were entertained throughout the evening by the wonderful ‘Diabolus in Musica’, seventeenth-century period costumed musicians who regaled us with a variety of contemporary music. They did a fabulous job of uplifting the spirits of any who might have been flagging under the heat of the hottest day of the year! We were also extremely honoured to have a special performance from the Waddington branch of the Military Wives Choir. Before the performance, one of their members shared her experiences of being a military wife and explained what it meant to be part of the armed forces family. She spoke of supporting her husband through unsocial working hours, a constant peripatetic lifestyle and the uncertainty brought about by deployment – all these are timeless themes to military partners across the centuries and a poignant reminder of the anxieties and certainties that must have been experienced by families during the Civil War, as well as the comfort that can be drawn from the wider military community. We are very grateful to Carol King, Business Manager of the National Civil War Centre and her team for hosting us and helping us put on such an enjoyable evening. If you have any comments, questions or enquiries about Civil War Petitions, please feel free to either email us via [email protected] or contact us via our Twitter or Facebook pages.

Dead and buried? The fate of the Civil War battle-dead
In a previous blog, Andrew Hopper revealed the military and political uses of wounded survivors and prisoners of war from Civil War encounters, but what became of those of did not live to tell the tale of the fighting they had experienced? This week, Civil War Petitions welcomes a guest blog from Sarah Taylor, who uncovers the murky story surrounding the disposal of the dead... Although military historians have, in recent years, increasingly turned to studying alternative aspects of battles other than just their tactics or wider political impact, one aspect that has still been largely ignored is what happened to the bodies of those killed in battle. On looking at the sources, it is not all that surprising that this topic has received so little attention. Most sources avoid the topic, while of those which do mention the disposal of the dead, many do so incidentally. Following the battle of Edgehill (23 October 1642), for example, one source writer claimed that the Royalists had ‘about 3000 of theirs slain’ as he had been ‘informed by the Countrie men that saw them burie the dead next day’ (Thomason Tracts E.124[32]). The writer’s interest was not in what had happened to the bodies but in how severe the opposition’s losses had been. Quite a few of those sources which do refer to the disposal of the dead appear to do so because of a matter of honour (that is, someone had acted with particular honour or, more likely, with particular dishonour). Parliamentarians after the battle of Hopton Heath (19 March 1643), for example, tried to ransom the body of the Royalist commander back to his men in exchange for the prisoners and weapons that the Royalists had captured in the battle. One Royalist source describing the incident accused the Parliamentarians of ‘barbarisme and inhumanity’ and that their actions were ‘ignorant of what belonges to the honour of a souldier’ (D686/2/69). The commander’s own son was present and he, in a letter to his mother, sounded quite baffled when talking about this action which was ‘never before heard of in any warre’ (E.99[18]). Given the unusual and dishonourable nature of the incident, it is not at all surprising that source writers felt the need to mention it. Another notable encounter was the first battle of Newbury (20 September 1643), where a Royalist source described how ‘severall heapes of [the Parliamentarian’s] dead were found cast into Wells, Ponds and Pits, one Draw-well of 30 fathoms deepe being filled to the top with dead bodies…and in sundry places with armes and legges sticking out besides those above ground whom [the Parliamentarians] had not time to cover’ (TT E.69[18]). One Parliamentarian source actually responded to these ‘wilde relations’, claiming that since they had fought close to a river a well would not even have existed in such a place, let alone that the Parliamentarians would throw their dead down it (TT E.250[17]). The very fact that the Parliamentarians felt the need to respond to the claim suggests that disposing of one’s dead in such a manner was not acceptable, and that the Royalists may have been trying to use the dead as propaganda, to slander the Parliamentarians and their reputation. It does seem unlikely that the Parliamentarians would have thrown their dead into a well, particularly as the Parliamentarian commander had already ordered the locals to finish burying his dead; while it seems unlikely that the Parliamentarians would have wanted to alienate the locals by blocking their water sources, since they were reliant on the people for support and resources, like food, men and equipment. As for where the dead were buried, the sources are again very tight-lipped. A number of sources talk about high-status men being taken to churches for burial but because they say little about the rank-and-file, it is very difficult to judge if, and to what extent, those high-status men were being treated differently to the rest of the dead. It is clear that not all high-status men were buried in a church: letters by one man lament how he was unable to locate the body of his father, who had been the Royalist standard-bearer, after the battle of Edgehill so that he could take it for a church burial (Verney letters). The same letters noted how one lord ‘was like to have been buried in the fields, but that one came by chance that knew him and took him into a church, and there laid him in the ground’, highlighting how, sometimes, it was down to chance and one’s friends and family to find and remove a body for a church burial. If this was the case, then it seems quite likely that some common soldiers may also have received a church burial, particularly if they had friends or family nearby who were able to find their body and to convey it to a church. This lack of information is very problematic. Clearly some of the dead were being buried in churches, but what about everyone else? There are a few historical sources that confirm that some of the dead were buried on or near the battlefield, such as the one above, which mentioned the dead being buried ‘in the fields’. A churchwarden’s account also records how some of the dead from the first battle of Newbury were buried on the battlefield, as well as in the churchyard. This suggests that some of the dead were buried on the battlefield, a picture that some of the archaeology would seem to support (although even much of this is shaky because it is so hard to explicitly link burials to a specific event). Burials have been reported on Naseby battlefield since near to the time of the battle, for example. Overall, the evidence is very patchy: certainly some of the dead were buried in churches following a battle, while others seem to have been buried on the battlefield. It is not certain that both of these things occurred at all battles, though. The character or nature of a battle could certainly have had an impact. Much of the battle of Worcester (3 September 1651), for example, was fought within the town; while church records note that lots of those who were killed in the town were then buried in churches in the town, so the location of a battle may have had an impact on where the dead were buried. The numbers of bodies might also have had an impact. If there were lots of bodies, then we might expect that more of the dead were buried on the battlefield simply because it was too difficult to move so many bodies to a church which would not have had the space anyway. Battles where few men were killed, on the other hand, like Hopton Heath, may have led to many men being taken to a church for burial, rather than being buried on the battlefield. Sadly, the lack of detail in the historical sources makes it difficult to say much and it seems only with more archaeological finds will we truly start to understand where the dead were buried and why. Sarah Taylor is a third-year PhD student at the University of Huddersfield, funded by the Heritage Consortium. She is researching what happened to the bodies of those killed in battle, covering the period which includes the Wars of the Roses and the Civil War.

A Brief History of Time (in Civil War Petitions)
As explained elsewhere in this website, the project team is currently hard at work locating and transcribing thousands of documents which will eventually be made freely available via this website. In addition to these verbatim transcriptions, the team aims to produce a modernised text version of each document. However, even modernised texts can still be confusing, not least because of the various ways in which time was measured in the seventeenth century. Here, David Appleby sketches out the chronological minefield, and finds that the text of some petitions suggests that the poorer and middling sorts of people tended to mark the passing of time rather differently from the social elite... In February 1582, Pope Gregory XIII issued a decree to remove ten days from the calendar. He further ordered that every year thereafter should commence on 1 January. Gregory’s intent was to reduce confusion by aligning the calendar year more closely with the solar year. However, reflecting the bitter religious divisions in Europe at the time, Protestant states such as England pointedly continued to use the old-style Julian calendar (so named because it had been established by Julius Caesar in 45BC/BCE). This meant that throughout the whole of the seventeenth century, the calendar year in the British Isles began on 25 March, rather than 1 January. The festival of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin had long since ceased to be observed in Protestant England, so 25 March was known simply as ‘Lady Day’. Even in the seventeenth century, many English people (particularly those trading with Europe) were beginning to consider the Julian system inconvenient but it was not until George II’s reign that the ‘New Style’ dating was written into law. Following a vote in Parliament, it was declared that 1752 would begin on 1 January. The potential for confusion caused by the clash of these ‘Old’ and ‘New’ styles was never better demonstrated than in 1813, when workmen accidentally broke through the wall of a vault under St George’s chapel in Windsor. On investigation, it was found that one of the coffins in the vault contained the body of King Charles I. The engraved silver plate on the coffin lid recorded that the king had met his end in 1648 – whereas, by the modern (post-1751) calendar, he had actually been executed on 30 January 1649. Interestingly, a commemorative stone laid in the chapel in the nineteenth century copied the date on the coffin plate, again suggesting that Charles had died in 1648. Did those who commissioned the marble slab do this deliberately, or were they unaware of their error? Even professional historians are sometimes caught out. A common method used by historians and archivists to avoid confusion between ‘Old Style’ and ‘New Style’ dating is to transcribe any affected dates by noting both years. The date of Charles I’s execution might therefore be transcribed as 30 January 1648/9. This method was already in use in the seventeenth century for precisely the same reason. Officials who did not take such precautions sometimes got themselves in a muddle: one Nottinghamshire Parliamentary Committee warrant to pay an officer’s widow named Anne Nethercotes was erroneously dated ’28 March 1645’, despite the fact that it was clearly issued on 28 March 1646. It seems that the scribe forgot that Lady Day had come and gone, and that the new calendar year had started. The Georgian Act of Parliament which confirmed 1 January as the first day of the year also brought the British calendar into line with its Gregorian counterpart. Taking leap years into account, the discrepancy was even greater than it had been in Pope Gregory’s time, so Parliament ordered that 2 September 1752 be followed by 14 September. It is often claimed that the poorer sort rioted and demanded that the lost days to be restored to them, but there is no tangible evidence that such disorder ever took place. Red-letter dates, such as 5 November (Bonfire Night) and 30 January (the anniversary of the Regicide), remained untouched, although strictly speaking all should have been moved by the requisite number of days. Historians have generally followed this convention without comment. The only real problem arises when researchers have to deal with an exchange of letters between British and Continental correspondents, when it can sometimes seem that letters are being replied to before they have even been written! Another chronological trap hidden in the quarter sessions minute books concerns the regnal years of Charles II’s reign. Restoration officials habitually pretended that the ‘Interregnum’ (i.e. the Commonwealth and the Cromwellian Protectorate) had never happened, dating Charles II’s accession from the death of his father on 30 January 1648/9, rather than the restoration of the monarchy in May 1660. In such circumstances, the ‘Old Style’ Julian calendar reinforced efforts to recreate the pre-war ancien regime. All of which explains why the preamble to the Michaelmas quarter sessions in Essex in October 1660 notes that the court is being held in the twelfth year of the king’s reign – implying that the reign had commenced in 1648/9. In contrast to the exact, often politicised calendar utilised by the gentry, phrases used in the petitions of maimed soldiers and war widows suggest that the common people still tended to mark the passing of time with more traditional milestones. It is particularly interesting to see the survival of traditional Catholic terminology in popular Protestant discourse. Winifred Badge, who petitioned the Parliamentary County Committee for Nottinghamshire on 30 January 1644/5, stated that her husband had been slain ‘on Lamass Day’ whilst besieging Wingfield Manor. Lamas, or ‘loaf-mass’ was an old Anglo-Saxon festival, Lamas Day itself occurring on 1 August. Lamas loomed large in the lives of common country folk not least because it was traditionally the time on which certain privately-owned land had to be opened up to common grazing. It is equally revealing that the term ‘Christmas Day’ surfaces in a petition submitted by Thomas Collishaw of Bilborough, Nottinghamshire, in April 1648. The petition declared that in addition to his own sufferings Collishaw desired recompense for a horse which he had bought on Christmas Day 1642, and had ridden ‘all Christmas’ until it fell lame. Collishaw – and the amanuensis who wrote the parliamentarian cavalry trooper’s petition – were presumably aware that Christmas, Easter and Whitsun had been banned by Parliament in June 1647, on the grounds that the three festivals had no basis in Scripture, and were therefore sinful. Of course, the Civil Wars gave maimed soldiers and bereaved families new and more distressing milestones with which to mark the passing of time. These milestones included not only the bloody consequences of huge set-piece battles such as Edgehill (1642), and sieges such as the two at Lichfield in 1643, but also bitter fighting for relatively obscure places such as Wingfield Manor (Derbyshire, August 1644) and Shelford House (Nottinghamshire, November 1645). The course of some people’s lives would be changed by otherwise inconsequential incidents. It is very doubtful whether Martha Emming of Coggeshall, Essex had previously heard of Heslington in Yorkshire, but she would forever remember it as the place where her husband Daniel was killed. The evidence suggests that he was one of the ‘five or six’ hitherto nameless parliamentarian soldiers who died there on 6 June 1644, as Parliament’s Eastern Association army probed York’s outer defences.

The Story after the Battle Before: The Wounded Prisoners of Seacroft Moor
Many accounts of Civil War military encounters end their stories with the numbers of the dead, wounded and prisoners taken from the participating armies. The stories of what happened to the wounded survivors and prisoners is largely neglected. However, many petitions from Civil War soldiers provide detailed accounts of the ordeals that they went through following the fighting. Andrew Hopper uses documents from the battle of Seacroft Moor to fill in the gaps and argues that the aftermath of battles should hold as central a place in military studies as the events of those encounters themselves. On an unseasonably hot day on 30 March 1643, Sir Thomas Fairfax’s rearguard of three troops of horse and 700 foot were protecting the retreat of Lord Ferdinando Fairfax’s northern parliamentarian army from Selby to Leeds. Sir Thomas later reflected in his Short Memorials that when his infantry reached some enclosures on the edge of Seacroft Moor, ‘thinking themselves more secure’ from the feared royalist cavalry, they became ‘careless in keeping order’ and went into several houses seeking drinks. This allowed their royalist pursuers to catch up. Crossing the moor soon after, they were struck by twenty troops of royalist cavalry under Sir George Goring. Badly outnumbered and lacking pikes, many of Fairfax’s infantry were clubmen, volunteers armed with improvised weapons like scythes laid on poles. They cast down their arms and fled. Some were struck down and most were captured. Ensign John Hodgson, serving in Captain Nathaniel Bower’s company from Bradford later recalled: ‘I was there sore wounded, shot in two places, cut in several, and led off into a wood by one of my soldiers called Killinghall wood. With much ado he got me to Leeds in the night and it was a considerable time before I was cured.’ Hodgson was one of the lucky ones. Of the 700 foot, the Halifax apothecary John Brearcliffe recorded that 688 had been taken prisoner. Many of them were wounded like Hodgson with pistol balls and sword cuts but they were escorted under guard to the royalist northern headquarters in the city of York. Some were imprisoned in York Castle but others were held in Davy Hall and the medieval Merchant Taylors’ Hall (pictured here in its seventeenth-century brick cladding). Soon after, Lord Fairfax printed an accusation against the royalist general, the earl of Newcastle, of mistreating the Seacroft prisoners. He claimed that 100 were already dead and that 200 more lay sick and dying, having been denied provisions and medical treatment. Newcastle published a furious response, entitled The answer of His Excellency the Earle of Newcastle, to a late declaration of the Lord Fairefax. In it he declared that the prisoners had been visited by the Queen’s own physicians and that their wounds ‘had been dressed and cured by our surgeons at our charges’. Far from seeking the prisoners’ destruction, Newcastle maintained that he had permitted charitable collections for the prisoners and visits from their female relatives. Instead, Newcastle blamed Fairfax for the deaths in his custody that did occur, decrying him for having led them into rebellion and then for refusing fair treaties from Newcastle for their exchange. Newcastle added that Fairfax’s army was in rebellion and therefore illegal. That made Fairfax incapable of treating, he declared: ‘neither hee nor any of his pretended Captains in this Warr, can challenge any Interest in the Law of Arms’. Whatever the truth of the circumstances of their incarceration, one survivor, Joseph Bannister, a Halifax locksmith captured at Seacroft Moor, later testified that he had almost starved to death during his nineteen-week confinement in York and that many of his comrades died ‘from hard usage in prison’. On 27 June 1643, the Parliament Scout newsbook claimed that over 80 had died ‘from hard usage’. Writing around twenty years later, in his post-Restoration Short Memorials, Sir Thomas Fairfax remembered the plight of these prisoners: ‘Most of them being Country men, whose wives & Children were still Importunate for their Release, & which was as earnestly endeavored by us, but no Conditions would be accepted; so as their Continuall Cryes & Teares & Importunitys compelled us to thinke of some way to Redeeme these men, so as, we thought of Attempting Wakefield’. So on 20 May 1643, Sir Thomas Fairfax launched a surprise assault that defeated a major royalist force quartered in Wakefield, capturing Sir George Goring (son of George, Lord Goring of Hurstpierpoint), 38 officers and 1500 men. The West Riding parliamentarians were saved from despair and the prisoners from Seacroft could now be redeemed. Newcastle was quick to accuse Fairfax of maltreating them and intending to choke these prisoners ‘with the fumes of their own ordure, and to bury them alive in subterraneous Cellars where they cannot behold the light of Heaven but through a little grate of two spans breadth’. Now it was the turn of Lord Goring to be frightened. He wrote to Lord Fairfax pleading for the exchange of ‘my unfortunate sick sonne’, well knowing that Fairfax blamed him for the death of the Seacroft prisoners, and that his son had betrayed Parliament’s trust by changing sides in August 1642, making his trial by martial law a possibility. This episode encapsulates how the treatment of the wounded and the welfare of prisoners could so easily be turned towards propaganda purposes in the rival declarations issued by both sides. It also reminds us that the wounded and those taken captive should not be considered tangential to military studies as soon as they ceased to be combatants. The plight of the wounded prisoners of Seacroft, languishing in the Merchant Taylors’ Hall, in many ways continued to shape the strategy of generals and subsequent military events.

Straight from the Horse-Owner’s Mouth: George Rolph and the Fate of Civil War Wagoners
Maimed soldiers and soldiers’ widows were not the only people whose lives were ruined by the civil wars. Many more people suffered material losses or had their worlds turned upside down. They too petitioned for redress for a wide range of calamities. Unfortunately, due to time restraints, Civil War petitions will not be able to include these additional cases within the main project but we hope to draw attention to them via the blog. Here, in our first guest blog, Dr Gavin Robinson, examines the fate of horses and their owners impressed into Civil War armies. George Rolph or Rolfe was a wagoner from Latton in Essex (this could be Latton, now in Harlow, or Leyton, now in London). He petitioned the Essex Quarter Sessions in January 1658 that ‘his Waggon & horses were some yeares since impressed for the carryeing Ammuicon from London towards the releife of Glocester then besieged, and soe continued in the Parliments service until the Wagon was broken & horses killed at Newbury fight, for which the Peticoner had noe satisfacon and whereby hee is brought into Poverty’. He was granted a one-off payment of £10, but petitioned again in October. He was then given another £10, ‘Provided he never after trouble the Court wth any further Complaint therein, as hee now promiseth’. The relief of Gloucester and first battle of Newbury happened in September 1643, so Rolfe had waited 15 years for compensation. He may have tried and failed to get money from other sources, but no records of that have turned up. £20 is a large sum, but it was not necessarily generous considering the scale of Rolfe’s losses. Civil War armies paid up to £6 for draught horses, and there could often be five or six horses in a team. The Eastern Association paid £7.10s for an ammunition wagon in 1644. The capital needed to set up in businesses means that wagoners were probably middling entrepreneurs, but Rolfe’s case shows that they could easily be ruined if they lost their horses. During the Civil Wars, the risk of losing horses increased because armies needed so many of them. The planned establishment for the New Model Army’s artillery train included 32 artillery pieces, 132 wagons and carts, and over 1,000 draught horses (TNA, SP 28/145, ff. 60-64). The earl of Essex’s train had been a similar size. In May 1644, its accounts (TNA, SP 28/146, f. 183) show that it had: 613 state-owned horses 179 horses hired from contractors 50 teams of horses temporarily impressed Essex’s artillery never had enough state horses, so they relied on hiring and impressment to make up the deficit. For armies, the main advantage of impressment was that it was cheap, but it was not always efficient. A shortage of horses could help to explain why Essex’s artillery train was notoriously slow before the battle of Edgehill. Letters from royalist commanders sometimes mention that they could not get enough horses to move their artillery or ammunition. Whenever royalist commissaries took up large numbers of horses and wagons, it gave parliamentarian scouts a clue that the enemy army was about to move. To avoid these problems, the New Model Army was intended to have enough draught horses of its own but impressment was still needed sometimes. Sir Thomas Fairfax impressed teams of horses from Old Milverton, Warwickshire, in June 1645 to carry ammunition (TNA, SP 28/183). Humphrey Lower, keeper of the Army's stores at Reading, paid for sending warrants to local constables to impress carts. Although the carters were paid sixpence per mile, they were not willing volunteers. Lower also had to pay, ‘to Guard the 3 Gates at Redding to keepe these Carts that they might not goe thence, as some of them indeavoured’ (TNA, SP 28/202, f. 234r). Impressment was an even bigger problem for civilians than for armies. George Rolfe’s case is not very unusual. Although impressment was usually temporary, the risk of horses being killed or captured by the enemy was much higher when serving with an army. Even if the horses returned safely, their owners still suffered inconvenience and loss of earnings. Parish accounts of losses are full of claims for cart service and losses of horses. Buckinghamshire suffered very badly because it was where the relief force for Gloucester gathered before setting off in late August 1643. We don’t know where George Rolfe’s horses were impressed. Wagoners had to travel to carry out their business. Robert Bennett, a wagoner from Exeter, took a load of cloth from Devon to London, where he, his wagon, and seven horses were impressed into the earl of Essex’s artillery train in September 1642. They served until 23 October, when the wagon and horses were lost at the battle of Edgehill. Bennett’s petition to the earl of Essex resulted in £82 compensation. It’s not clear why George Rolfe didn’t get his money this way. Once horses were impressed into an army, there were many things that could go wrong. George Rolfe’s horses were killed in a battle, but accidents could happen even when there were no enemies around. Henry Foster’s narrative of the relief of Gloucester says that when the column was at the top of Prestbury Hill, near Cheltenham, on the evening of 5 September 1643: ‘it began to be very darke, so that our waggons and carriages could not get downe the hill, many of them were overthrowne and broken, it being a very craggy steep and dangerous hill, so that the rest of the waggons durst not adventure to goe downe, but stayed all night there: sixe or seven horses lay dead there the next morning, that were killed by the overthrow of the waggons’ In 1644, Essex’s army took horses from Buckinghamshire all the way to Cornwall, where they were lost. The surviving parish accounts for Buckinghamshire, which cover just over a third of the county, claim that during the First Civil War, 81 impressed draught horses never came back. Impressment put the wagoners themselves at risk, because someone had to drive the wagon and look after the horses. They suffered badly when Prince Rupert’s cavalry attacked the parliamentarian baggage at the battle of Edgehill. John Padgitt claimed to have suffered two wounds as well as losing a wagon, three horses and harness worth £23. Thomas Padgitt was also wounded and his son was killed, on top of £27 of losses in horses and harness. Together with John Wilde, they petitioned the Committee of Safety and were paid £75.10s between them (TNA, SP 28/6/2, f. 255; SP 28/263, ff. 23-24). Will the project find any more petitions from maimed wagoners? Dr Gavin Robinson is an independent researcher. He has published articles and a book on horses in the English Civil War. He also runs his own business, doing manuscript transcription and data cleaning for historians.

‘Wounded att Stampford Worke’: Two Devon ‘Tinners’ Recall their Wartime Service
The horrors of war are known to forge strong bonds of friendship and reinforce existing ones; friendships that do not end once the fighting is over. Here, Mark Stoyle examines the petitions of two men recruited from the same Devon parish and who served in the same regiment, revealing that their recollections of royalist service reveal strikingly significant similarities... After the Restoration, two former Royalist soldiers from the remote Dartmoor parish of Lustleigh petitioned the Devon JPs for pensions to support them in their declining years, both men testifying that they had been wounded in Charles I’s service during the Civil War. The first petition was that of Laurence Elliott, whose occupation was left unspecified, the second that of Robert Spray, a husbandman. Although the petitions are in different hands, there are hints that there may have been personal or textual interconnections between the scribes who penned them as both petitions refer to their subjects being now grow ‘old … and decrepped’: a slightly unusual formulation. The stories which the two documents tell possess a number of striking parallels, moreover. Thus Elliott’s petition states that he had served in the king’s western army ‘under the commaund of Bartholomew Gidley, Esquire, Captain of the Tinners’, while Spray’s petition states - rather more expansively - that he had served ‘under … Bartholomew Gidley, Esquire, Captain under the command of Sir Nicholas Slanning, K[nigh]t, Colonell of the Tinners’. Slanning and Gidley were names to conjure with in post-Restoration Devon. Sir Nicholas Slanning had been the original commander of one of the five ‘Old Cornish’ regiments which had conquered South West England for the king during the summer of 1643: a regiment which had been largely recruited from among the ‘Tinners’, or tin-miners, of Devon and Cornwall. In July 1643 Slanning had been mortally wounded at the storm of Bristol. Sixty years later, his name - together with those of other key officers who had died in the king’s service in the West - was still remembered by local loyalists in the mournful distich: ‘[Gone] the four wheels of Charles’s Wain: Grenville, Godolphin, Trevanion, Slanning slain’. The phrasing of Spray’s petition strongly suggests that he had served under Slanning’s personal command - but it is also conceivable that he had joined the Tinners regiment after the death of its most famous colonel, and that he and/or the scribe who drew up his petition had subsequently taken the tactical decision to include Slanning’s name in the document in order to furnish it with added lustre. What is crystal clear is that both Elliott and Spray had served in the company of Captain Bartholomew Gidley, of Winkleigh: a Royalist gentleman who had fought with distinction in the Tinners regiment throughout the war and who had been appointed to the Devon Bench after the Restoration. Indeed, Gidley himself was one of the four JPs who appended their signatures at the bottom of Elliott’s petition and affirmed that they believed its contents to be true: striking evidence of the fact that the bonds between some former Royalist officers and their soldiers had continued to endure long after the Civil War was over. That Elliott and Spray later testified that they had served under the same company commander in the same regiment strongly suggests that the two men had joined up at the same time, and it is fascinating to note that their petitions also show that they had gone on to be wounded in the very same engagement: the assault on the Parliamentarian fort of Mount Stamford, near Plymouth, in late 1643. Following the Royalist capture of Bristol that summer - an event which had seemed, to many, to herald the imminent collapse of the Parliamentarian cause - the king’s western army had marched back to Devon in order to reduce the remaining Roundhead strongholds there. Exeter was taken on 7 September and Dartmouth a month later, and by mid-October the king’s victorious forces were closing in on Plymouth: by now the only place in Devon and Cornwall which continued to hold out for the Parliament. Having surveyed the town’s defences, the Royalists quickly decided that Mount Stamford - an isolated earthwork fort which the Parliamentarians had thrown up on a peninsula on the other side of the Catwater, and which was thought to command Plymouth Sound - was the key to the entire position. Accordingly, they made their dispositions and prepared to move into the attack. On 21 October the Royalists began to erect earthworks of their own to the south of Mount Stamford, and over the following days a series of bitter skirmishes took place as the defenders tried to drive them off. It was not long before the Cavaliers were ready to launch their final assault. ‘The 5 of November, in the morning betimes’, wrote an anonymous Royalist eyewitness, who later composed a vivid account of events, ‘our ordenance begone to play upon Mount Stamfort’. The barrage continued all that day and the next morning, he went on and ‘all this whille wee stod in redinesse to fall on … being 3 regiments of foote and 5 trupes of horse’. Neither the eyewitness nor any other contemporary source names the three Royalist infantry regiments which took part in the assault, but the petitions of Elliott and Spray make it clear that the Tinners regiment was one of them. ‘The word beeing given, which was “victory”’, the eyewitness goes on, then ‘our foote marchet up [to the enemy work] … when, beeing together, wee made 3 shouts which made the hilles ring’. The Royalist forces now moved into the assault, and, after a hard-fought struggle, finally captured Mount Stamford. Among the many soldiers injured in the fighting that day were Laurence Elliott, whose petition attests that he was ‘wounded … att Stampford worke against Plimmouth’ and Robert Spray, whose petition likewise sorrowfully records that he ‘tooke great hurt … at the takeinge of Stampford worke against Plimouth’. The fact that two men from Lustleigh - a little moorland parish whose entire adult male population in 1641-42 was only around 50 - can be shown to have been wounded in the same engagement is revealing. It reminds us that, because the regiments of the Civil War tended to be raised - initially at least - from quite tightly-contained geographic areas, it was possible for individual parishes to suffer very high casualty rates when ‘their’ regiments took part in especially bloody actions. The parallel journeys which Elliott and Spray made - from the peace of Lustleigh to the hell of the siege of Plymouth and back - also makes us curious about their own relationship. One cannot help wondering whether the two men were friends and whether they continued to meet up to discuss their wartime experiences long after the conflict was over - just as we know that the men of the nearby parish of Drewsteignton were to continue to meet up to discuss their wartime experiences in the local pub in the wake of another, still greater conflict, three centuries later. A final question raised by these intriguing twin petitions is why the only wartime engagement which either of them mentions by name is the fight at Mount Stamford - even though Spray’s petition proudly declare that he had fought ‘in many battles’ on the king’s behalf? An obvious answer would be to suggest that both men’s military careers had been terminated by the wounds they received in November 1643, and that this in turn meant that the fight at Mount Stamford was the obvious ‘peg’ on which to hang their petitions. Matters are not so clear-cut, however, for, in point of fact, both men’s testimonies affirm that they had served throughout the conflict: ‘from the beginninge to the end of the said warr’ in Elliott’s case, and ‘to the end of the said warrs’ in Spray’s. The Civil War in Devon did not end until 1646, so - unless we presume that the petitions claimed that Elliott and Spray had fought throughout the entire war as a simple matter of form, as a method of putting their loyalty beyond doubt - there must have been another reason for the petitioners themselves, or for the scribes who wrote on their behalf, or both, to have laid particular emphasis on the fact that the former soldiers’ wounds had been received at Mount Stamford. It is important to remember here, perhaps, that in November 1643, the Royalists had celebrated their successful assault on Mount Stamford as a glorious feat of arms: as a victory which would lead, ineluctably, to the surrender of Plymouth itself, and which would thus permit the remarkable string of victories which the king’s western army had achieved over the preceding six months to be crowned with final, definitive, triumph. Yet, in the end the Cavaliers were to be sorely disappointed. Cannon placed at Mount Stamford, it transpired, were unable to prevent Parliamentarian ships from entering Plymouth Sound and supplying the garrison with ammunition and food. As November passed away into December, moreover, the Royalist besiegers suffered increasingly heavy casualties as they strove, ineffectually, to breach the defences of the town itself. On Christmas Day 1643, the siege was lifted, and although the Royalists made many more attempts to capture Plymouth over the following two years they were invariably repulsed with heavy losses. The Tinners regiment - including Captain Gidley’s company - is known to have taken part in a number of these fruitless operations, so it seems probable that Laurence Elliott and Robert Spray did so, too. Yet it is easy to understand why - when the two old soldiers and their local backers were pondering how best to ‘spin’ their petitions to loyalist magistrates after 1660 - they might well have decided that it would be more politic to highlight the injuries which the men had received during the brief moment of Royalist triumph before Plymouth in November 1643 than to itemise any further ‘hurts’ they may have suffered during the long, sad series of reverses before the same town which followed. Civil War petitions like the two discussed above not only provide us with vivid insights into the lived experience of the conflict itself, in other words, they also provide us with tantalising hints of the myriad ways in which individuals’ memories of that conflict could be subsequently sorted, sifted and deployed - both consciously and sub-consciously - in support of their own present purposes.

Uncertain Authors: Who Wrote Civil War Petitions?
Among the most attractive elements of petitions from veterans and widows of the Civil Wars are their vivid personal narratives. The documents are full of drama, pathos and suffering. Terrible injuries are narrated, litanies of military service rehearsed, and vivid accounts of desperate personal circumstances given. These petitions provide a unique opportunity to learn more about the experiences of thousands of humble individuals during the tumultuous seventeenth century; individuals who have often left little or no other mark in the historical record. And yet we must be careful in thinking that these documents allow us some kind of unfettered access to the ‘real’ experiences of the personalities under whose names they were presented. In this blog, Lloyd Bowen considers the problem of authorship in Civil War Petitions. Petitions to justices of the peace had a long pedigree by the 1640s. They thus also had an established form and a set of conventions which needed to be observed to be successful. The mode of address needed to be humble, even obsequious. Fulsome declarations of loyalty (to parliament, and, after May 1660, to the restored monarchy) needed to be made. The petitioner requested their due under the law but could be in trouble if they articulated this too forcefully and demanded money and support as their right. As a result, petitions often followed something of a script. They were accounts of individual experiences, but these experiences were moulded to meet expectations of the genre. The ‘authentic voice’ of the petitioner is further called into question when we remember that many of those petitioning for relief from magistrates, monarch, parliament or military commanders were illiterate and incapable of producing the documents themselves. Many petitions were drawn up (perhaps even composed) on the petitioner’s behalf by literate individuals. The person who put pen to paper, then, might be a scrivener or a clerk who probably charged a fee. It may equally have been a literate neighbour such as a local church minister or schoolmaster. Thus, many of these documents are well-written in a neat scribal hand and follow a distinctive visual and textual format. The vast majority do not possess the signature of the ‘petitioner’ or any other textual mark indicating his or her physical interaction with the document. When such signatures are found on petitions, they are usually from members of the officer class rather than the ordinary ranks. The authorial distance between petitioner and petition is often underlined by the fact that they were written in the third person. Individuals are described as ‘your petitioner’, and the pronouns ‘he’ and ‘she’ are standard forms of self-address. However, there are fascinating instances when such standard formats were not followed. Many individuals below the elite were able to write and some composed their own petitions. These can sometimes be distinguished by non-scribal, often messy, handwriting, and the presence of heavily phonetic spelling. The 1648 petition of John ap Rice and his brother Evan to the parliamentarian commander Sir Thomas Myddleton, for example, addresses the latter as the ‘right onorabell Sir Thomas’, and is suggestive of self-authorship by working through the plural first person: ‘wee being well affected to this sidde [side]’. Another example is the 1643/4 petition of Corporal John Barrett to Edward Massey, governor of Gloucester. Apparently written by Barrett himself, the petition deviates from the formal mode of the genre when relating the injuries he sustained in a skirmish near Painswick. Its language is familiar, almost intimate, when discussing his ‘7 wounds in the head; 5 of them therow the scull i cut in the backe (to the bons) with a pole axe; his elbow cut off bons and all: his hand slitt downe betwine the fingers as Mr Caradine the cyerrugion [surgeon] afermeth, who hath almost cured them al (and very carfuly and willingly he hath taken the pains to do it). How to satisfie him we know not; he was never the man that asked us a farthing’. Another intriguing example is the petition of Elizabeth Newam of Nottinghamshire. She approached the local parliamentary committee for assistance in December 1645 following her husband’s death in service. Her petition was written in a legible but not professional hand, while the spelling suggests an educated, but not trained, scribe. It articulated Elizabeth’s troubles in the first person throughout, suggesting a rare example of a female-authored text: ‘I not knowing without your honours commiseration how to subsist unless I bee forct to sell up all that I have, and soe I and my poor infant shall bee forced to beg, wheirfor I humbley intreat your honours compassion’. But even here it seems we should be cautious of ascribing ‘authorship’ too readily. At the bottom of the petition is a note in an altogether more flowing and practised hand recording the receipt of five shillings as well as ‘Elizabeth Newams marke’. Newam could not sign her name. The ‘I’s of her petition were laid down by a pen other than her own. Other instances when the veil of authorship slips and we glimpse the individuals behind petitionary narratives survive among the material from the north Wales county of Denbighshire. Thomas Lloyd of Llanrhyader, a pressed soldier who served in the king’s armies for five years before being wounded, petitioned the county sessions in October 1667 requesting payment of a pension awarded in an earlier session but yet to be fulfilled. When discussing the commanders who had previously attested to his service, his petition reads that these men were ‘certifieinge my loyaltie’, which has been changed to the expected form of ‘his loyaltie’. Interestingly, this petition also has a rather idiosyncratic register in parts, suggesting that Lloyd’s authorship of this document was more fully present than was often the case. Similarly, the petition presented to the Denbighshire justices by Reece Ithel of Holt at the January 1668 sessions hints at the composition process behind many of these documents. Ithel’s petition informed the justices about his service as a soldier ‘dureing all the time for most of the late unhappy warrs’, in which he had been wounded, thrice imprisoned, had his house burned, and his good stolen. The petition’s public face then slips. It lapses into the first person: ‘I was very poore & hath soe continued ever since and still am’. The text has been amended before presentation to the magistrates, however, to read ‘hee was very poore … & still is’. Similar transformations are found elsewhere; in one instance the word ‘myselfe’ as been transformed into ‘himselfe’, with the tell-tale descender of the ‘y’ pendulous and incongruous under the revised word. These shifts in the authorial voice can be found in other parts of the country too. In Essex, for example, the 1653 petition of Martha Emming, a widow of Coggeshall, begins by relating to the justices how ‘yor peticoners husband and two of her sons’ enlisted for the parliamentary army. However, when discussing her husband’s death at York in 1644, the document moves into a mixture of the first and third person. Emming recalled how ‘at the seedg [siege] … it pleaseth god to take away the life of my said husband and soone after him one of my sonnes in Ireland to the great greeife and also to the hinderance of your poore peticioner’. The terrible trauma she had suffered bleeds through the text, providing a more immediate authorial presence than the usual remove of petitionary propriety. The interpolation of the present tense into this traumatic memory adds to the awkward mixture of raw emotion and generic distance. It is not clear that Lloyd, Ithel or Emming personally wrote their petitions. The confused pronouns may well have been the work of scribes who were themselves inexpert in the business of formulating a petition for the bench. Equally, it may just have been a scrivener whose mind wandered during the process of transcribing after a jug or two of ale. These slips and shifts, however, are testimony to the constructed nature of these petitions and the several hands involved in their making. They remind us that while these documents bring us as close as any to the individual experience of Civil War at the level of the ordinary solider or widow, they remain far from the unmediated testimony of individual experience.

The Dogged Determination of William Gray of Braintree, Essex
Among other things, the material gathered by our project will give historians valuable insights into the ways in which ordinary people negotiated with their rulers. We’ve been struck by the clever strategies adopted by many petitioners, their assertiveness in the face of authority, and their dogged determination to obtain justice. Here, David Appleby takes up the story of a serial petitioner from Essex – a maimed soldier who refused to be silenced, and eventually got his reward. Before the outbreak of civil war, William Gray was a family man with a good trade and decent prospects. He was a woolcomber, a skilled occupation whose practitioners tended to be members of the respectable ‘middling sort’. Gray’s home town of Braintree, whose cloth was exported all over Europe, was a hotbed of puritanism. When war became inevitable, thousands of Essex men came forward to volunteer for Parliament’s armies. It is evident that Gray was among them. He served as a private soldier in the earl of Essex’s army, fought at the siege of Reading in April 1643, and in the subsequent campaign. His company commander, William Jarman, attested that Gray was an orderly and sober man. The Essex justices would later record that he was ‘many years’ in the army. The fact that Gray had acquired extensive military experience and was of good character was clearly influential in his appointment as a sergeant in Colonel Thomas Cooke’s regiment during the Second Civil War of 1648. Cooke had hastily assembled his auxiliaries as the royalist insurrection in Kent spilled over into Essex. Gray was posted to the colonel’s own company, perhaps on the recommendation of William Jarman, who had been appointed major in the same unit. The regiment saw hard service at the siege of Colchester in 1648, and later at the battle of Worcester in the Third Civil War of 1650-1. It was during one of these campaigns that Gray was so badly wounded as to prevent him from resuming his peacetime occupation. Far from being a man with prospects, he and his family now faced a lifetime of poverty. Gray does not appear in the Essex quarter sessions records until 1657. Like so many maimed soldiers and war widows, he may initially have tried to struggle on without charity. He obtained a certificate from William Jarman in January 1657, and armed with this testament of his loyal service to Parliament, petitioned the Essex justices for a pension. He received only a one-off gratuity of 40 shillings. Undeterred – or desperate – Gray submitted another petition for the April quarter sessions. The justices were even less sympathetic; nevertheless, they conceded that he had received ‘some wounds’, and ‘to prevent further trouble with him’, ordered the Treasurer for Maimed Soldiers to pay him a gratuity of 20 shillings. The former sergeant immediately tried a different tactic, obtaining a medical report from a barber surgeon named Thomas Cosin. Cosin’s detailed diagnosis illustrated the extent of Gray’s debilitating injuries, particularly emphasising that his leg had ‘been broken in many pieces, which hath occasioned a great imbecility’. Nevertheless, at the Midsummer sessions of July 1657, the justices were clearly irritated that Gray had had the temerity to present his case to them yet again. They grudgingly ordered the Treasurer for the East Division to pay him a final gratuity of 20 shillings, adding that ‘[we] do require the said Gray never hereafter to trouble the Sessions for any further relief’. Such official rebukes – which can be seen in the records of many counties – deterred many maimed soldiers and war widows from continuing to press their claim. However, William Gray was made of sterner stuff. He boldly appeared at the next quarter sessions in October 1657, and petitioned yet again. The exasperated justices accepted defeat and ordered that Gray henceforth receive a pension of 40 shillings per year. This was not much, given that he had to support a whole family, but it does at least prove that his persistence was ultimately effective.

Meet a Petitioner – John Melmerby of Brompton-on-Swale, North Riding of Yorkshire
So what were the men and women who petitioned for financial relief during and after the Civil Wars like? Naturally they were a mixed bunch, but their interactions with the authorities sometimes reveal surprising stories. Here, in a tale of crime, punishment and derring-do, Andrew Hopper tells the tale of John Melmerby. John Melmerby of Brompton-on-Swale, near Richmond in the North Riding of Yorkshire, was a maimed soldier who served in parliament’s army. He was awarded a pension of £4 per year at the Thirsk quarter sessions in April 1652. Despite the Restoration of Charles II, he was still receiving this pension in October 1661, although it was probably withdrawn soon after. In July 1674, the Northallerton sessions declared him ‘a vagabond and an incorrigible rogue’ for stealing one cock and three hens worth 2 shillings and 6 pence. He was ordered to be whipped and burnt in the left shoulder. He was thrown into prison at York Castle to await transportation to English plantations overseas. Soon after, he ‘feloniously made his escape’ because in January 1675 the Richmond sessions ordered Katherine Hall to be imprisoned in York Castle for harbouring him. In July 1675, he was again presented before the quarter sessions for stealing three bushels of rye worth 6 shillings. In October 1680 the treasurer for maimed soldiers was ordered to pay Jasper Yates 40 shillings for prosecuting the king’s evidence against Melmerby at the York assizes. The following July, Samuel Rawling of Catterick was awarded 6 shillings 8 pence for having prosecuted Melmerby for felony before Melmerby's final execution at the York assizes. | en |
“Suddenly I had a little money and a lot of time,” she said. “I really needed a project, and there wasn’t anything in the Antelope Valley that was fun and entertaining and full of commentary. I print what nobody else will touch. Controversy is good.”
Kramer launched the Anti-Press in May with a scant 250 copies, which were immediately snapped up, generating letters and phone calls of praise and rage. “I thought, ‘Let’s see how people feel about this,’ ” she said. “And people ended up like junkies. People need it; they want it; they love it.”
Kramer and her cadre of unpaid writers take jabs at area politicians, make fun of local happenings, and spout off about regional and national issues. Recent issues included a photo of Barney the dinosaur in drag, a list of people the Antelope Valley would be better off without (laden with local politicians), the Top 10 adult video rentals, a few dark and erotic poems, and several outspoken--and sometimes outrageous--editorials.
“People with all these weird opinions can say whatever they want in the Anti-Press, as long as they don’t cuss,” Kramer said. “Our point of view is all over the place. My writers include extreme conservatives, screaming liberals and artistic people. I figure if we express all viewpoints, somewhere in there is a moderate ground.”
The publication--which, according to Kramer, is “politically acorrect"--attracts its share of enemies. It is banned from several stores, restaurants and businesses, including Antelope Valley College. A minister urged a boycott of the newspaper’s advertisers and distributors. Kramer’s printer arrived at work one day to find three bullets shot through his window, the day after he got a threatening phone call relating to printing the paper. Kramer says she receives so many obscene and threatening phone calls that her answering machine refers would-be harassers to another number--that of the county sheriff. | en |
Blessed: Christmas II
Christmas Eve is one of my favorite days of the year. By this time most of what can be done is done, real life closes up and family gathers. I didn't mean to but I did a lot of "this time last year" thinking. Last year I could not attend the church service, so my family brought church home and we had a beautiful, intimate service....such a special memory! This year we were back at church and it was a beautiful service, though not quite as intimate. ;)
Then we went back to my sister's house, where she put out an amazing array of food and we all enjoyed catching up and spending time together.
Remarkably, it was warm enough (so warm!) to have the kids table in the garage. :)
Once the party wound down there, we went to my house, donned our newly gifted Christmas Bowing Team shirts and got to work putting presents under the tree and stuffing 21 stockings. We finished just before midnight...that might be a record.
wow, that picture of Amanda almost took my breath away!! She looks so grown up! I am so enjoying these posts!! | en |
Hyderabad Houzz: Lighting Takes Centre Stage in This Home's Design25 Spectacular Lighting Ideas for the Dining Room3 Reasons Why LED Lights Are Better Than Ever10 Ways Good Lighting Can Transform a Living Room
Jamie Gold, CKD CAPS MCCWC2 March 2018
LEDs, or light-emitting diodes, are energy-saving light sources that last for years and offer tremendous flexibility for your design project. They can be used for task lighting, general room lighting and accent lighting. Here are some sensible-style ways to incorporate them into your kitchen.
1. LEDs make great accent lights for floating shelves. Their slim profile makes them ideal for this application.
2. Recessed ceiling lights are a primary source of room illumination in many kitchens. Traditionally, they've used halogen or other incandescent sources. New remodelling kits let you replace those fixtures easily and more affordably with long-lasting, energy-saving LEDs. Another benefit: If your ceilings are high, you may not ever have to drag out the ladder again to change a bulb: LEDs can last up to 20 years.
So, why should you use recessed lights?
3. Glass countertops can be lit from below by LED lights. They provide dramatic accent lighting for a glass countertop's beautiful translucent surface.
4. Toekicks are a great place to add LEDs to your kitchen. They can provide both accent lighting and nighttime illumination.

5. LEDs can be used to highlight architectural features, like the tray ceiling or cove moulding in a traditional kitchen.
6. Under-cabinet lighting is an ideal application for LED lights. Unlike halogens, LEDs stay cool, so your hands don't get hot while you're working below them.
7. If you're showing off your serveware or collectibles in glass-fronted cabinets, consider lighting their interiors with LEDs. Options include rope lighting that can hide behind face frames or puck lights that hide in the cabinet tops. Glass shelves let the light flow from the top of the cabinet to the bottom.
8. You don't have to limit your cabinet interior lighting to accent only. LEDs shown here, can be used as task lighting for drawers, deep bases, dark corners and other areas needing more illumination.
Take a look at kitchen cabinet lighting ideas
9. LEDs installed behind a translucent backsplash – like glass – is an ideal accent light application.
10. Pendant lights continue to be popular in kitchens, especially over islands and peninsulas. Happily, there is an increasingly large selection of LED-powered pendants that save energy while not stinting on style.
11. Once reserved for dining rooms and ballrooms, chandeliers have become popular fixtures for kitchens, too. If this is the look you're seeking for your traditional kitchen, consider shopping for an LED-powered fixture. The selection, while still small, is growing every year.
Here's how to choose a chandelier
12. Some ceilings cannot accommodate recessed lights, or are too high for them to provide enough functional illumination. In these situations, you're likely going to use track, cable or monorail lights, as shown here. New models are being introduced that take advantage of LED energy savings and durability.
Have you used LED lights in your kitchen? How does it affect the look and feel of the space? Share your experiences in the Comments below.

Within the recessed can light family of LED's, are there differences one should be aware of? I'm an owner-builder and I'll be using recessed lighting extensively throughout the house, not just the kitchen. ie; master bedroom's tray ceiling; Great Room vaulted ceiling; tray ceilings in dining room, etc. I like the warmth of incandescent lighting and hope to find a similar 'glow' from newer LED fixtures...possible?

Diversify your Earnings: 3 ways to get started with Passive Income – Hanna Horenstein
Many of you might have heard the term passive income thrown around by a neighbor, a work associate or family member. The idea may seem remote to those of us stuck in the traditional 9 to 5 world, where income arrives in your bank account each month and the only reliable bonus is in your Grandmother's end of year Christmas Card.
It doesn't have to be that way. Passive income represents the opportunity for a consistent source of returns from an initial investment of time or money. The idea is that once you're set up the returns keep coming in with minimal upkeep required on your end. Sounds great right? We all want to be able to sit easy and enjoy the fruits of our labor, but where to invest and how? Here's a list of ideas to get you started on your way.
Rental properties are a tried and tested method of earning income. While being a landlord generally requires more of an active investment in your property, you can always outsource this facet of the job to a management company for a percentage off the rent once you're up and running.
The main decision to be made is where to rent out? It could be a room in your house or an extra property you own in which case sites like AirBnB can provide a constant flow of regular visitors to earn you income.
If you don't have existing space you may need to buy a new property, for many people the sticking point is coming up with the necessary capital to make such a purchase. Thankfully websites like Realtyshares and PeerStreet cater to just this niche. These are both crowdfunded real estate sites that allow you to get in on property investments at anywhere from $1000 to $5000 dollars at a minimum, promising consistent annualized returns on your investments for far less work.
Sites like Prosper and the Lending Club take away banks and other financial institutions from the lending process. Instead people who may have difficulties securing loans through conventional means can apply directly to individuals like you for a loan. Though these websites only sprung up about a decade ago, they've gone from strength to strength since, growing into a combined multi-billion dollar industry. You can start investing for as little as $25 and pick who you want to lend to spreading your investments to lower risk. The website advertises annual returns of 7% on investments, with very little work required after your initial investment.
Sell your own media Online
This is a strategy that requires an initial investment of time and effort rather than money, and depending on how successful you want to be it might take quite a bit of it too! These days content creation is all the rage, and anyone can take advantage of the marketing opportunities the internet provides to monetize their skills and knowledge.
You could write an educational EBook and sell it through your website, or if you're more fiction inclined then self-publish it through Amazon's publishing platform.
If you have the proper equipment and some sonic expertise you could try selling an audio book instead through portals such as ACX.
If you're more of a photo-buff then try selling your pictures online through stock photo sites like iStockPhoto or Shutter Stock.
Whichever method you choose, your time and expertise can prove valuable in more places than just the job market. Though it might take some work, a book or piece of media that connects to an audience can reap you passive income for years to come.
Live well into the Future
Whether it's through the methods mentioned above or other passive income opportunities like Certificates of Deposit and dividend stocks a good source of passive income can form a vital part of an early retirement strategy.
It's important to remember that while passive income can seem like a dream, it does require hard work, effort or money to start off. So make sure you're willing to dedicate yourself to ensuring the long-term success of any strategy you choose to pursue, an hour more worked today or an extra penny saved can pay off in a big way years down the line. | en |

MP Kabwira reaffirms MCP loyalty despite party's political punches; Constituents unhappy with the firing - The Maravi Post
SALIMA-(MaraviPost)-The main opposition Malawi Congress Party's (MCP) Member of Parliament (MP) for Salima North-West constituency, Dr. Jessie Kabwira on Sunday reaffirmed total commitment to the party saying will not leave for other parties.
Dr. Kabwira says she remains MCP loyal members despite the party's political punches she keeps on getting when striving for constitutionalism.
The Salima-North West lawmaker added that she will die in the party no matter how hard the path might be when she is pushing for law and order in the party.
Kabwira was addressing party's constituency area chairpersons following her firing from the party's National Executive Committee (NEC).
She was along side with Secretary General (SG) Gustavo Kaliwo, Vice President Richard Msowoya, deputy secretary general James Kaunda, treasurer general Tony Kandiero suspended for unknown reasons.
However, High Court seating in Blantyre on Thursday, February 01, came to their rescue after granting a stay order stopping MCP leadership to suspend them until inter-parte hearing.
"I was surprised when I got the letter that I have been fired from the party without even given me reason for such an action. This is to end my political career which will not happen as am here to serve my people.
"This is the reason I got an injunction stopping this undemocratic tendencies for natural justice to prevail. This stay order just confirms my full loyalty to the party. The injunction must unite us as we are preparing to take power in 2019," Kabwira assures.
The lawmaker who is also Chairperson for Parliamentary committee on women caucus hinted that will not leave MCP to another party till the end.
Kabwira was however surprised that her constituents, district and lake-shore regional committees were not aware of her reasons for being fired from the party.
One of the top Salima North West constituency's executive members shared the same concerns of being in the dark their legislator's firing.
He told the Maravi Post in an interview that the constituency is not aware of any wrong doing Kabwira has done to deserve the party's rough.
The member therefore requested the MCP leadership to bring evidence of any wrong doing for the constituency to discipline her.
"We just heard from the radio that our MP was fired without informing us as to why she got such a treatment. This is not the time for wrangles as the public are having trust in MCP to take after 2019 elections," worried the member.
The court ordered the MCP NEC not to summon any claimants to the disciplinary inquires and from suspending them until trial of action or until further order of the court.
"Until the hearing of the inter-parte application for an injunction or until a further order, the defendant by either themselves, their agents, servants or otherwise however be and are hereby restrained from inviting the claimant to a disciplinary or suspending them from their member of Malawi Congress Party or from perform their duties of the position that they hold in the party.
"If you disobey this order, you may be found guilty of contempt of court and may be sent to prison or fined of your assets may be seized. Within the next 14 days an inter-parte summons must be issued," reads the stay order.
The claimants are represented by lawyer Kalekeni Kaphale and the stay order has been served already to MCP leadership and NEC.
MCP deputy Publicity Secretary Ezekiel Ching'oma over the weekend indicated that the party will vacate the injunction arguing that the party's side was not heard before granting the stay order.

UKIP popularity decreases as Tories draw equal with Labour – The Upcoming
A Guardian/ICM telephone poll has revealed that Conservative Party support has increased by 7%, leaving the Conservatives neck and neck with the Labour Party as both sit at 36%.
The poll confirms that last month's increase in the UK Independence Party's (UKIP) support during the local council elections was largely a protest vote against the traditional political parties. However, UKIP will hope to capitalise again on Eurosceptic sentiment during the European Parliament elections in June 2014.
The Guardian/ICM poll also contained a clear warning to the Conservative party, as two-thirds of those asked were sceptical that the national deficit can be cut after the next election without raising taxes, as promised by the Chancellor last week.
The poll reflects that no single party has been able to mantain a sustainable lead, causing observers to believe that the next general election will not produce a party with a clear majority.
However, David Miliband, Labour leader Ed Miliband's brother, warned against such assertions, stating that the British public may move decisively in favour of one of the main parties, adding that there was still a "great danger" that they would vote for the Conservatives.
The shares of the vote currently stand with the Conservatives and Labour at 36%, the Liberal Democrats at 13%, UKIP at 7% and all other parties at 8%. ICM Research interviewed a sample of 1,003 people to gain the results. | en |
