Power is the speed of energy. It's the Joules per second. How does this compare to voltage and current, the two topics we focus on mostly in electric circuits?
Voltage is the energy per charge. Current is the charges per second. We can see if we multiply them together, we get joules per second, or power. This creates a new equation, P=IV
What's going on here? Remember that in a circuit, you don't know the number of charges that will flow, as this depends on how much you're using the circuit. What matters for whether the device will work or not is the energy each charge has, or the voltage.
But sometimes, we need to know how fast a device is using energy. A heater needs to put a certain number of joules/second into the air to heat a room. A power plant needs a certain joules per second to meet demand. This is where this equation is helpful.
A non electricity analogy is as follows: An ant colony needs a certain amount of sugar/second to grow its eggs.
How fast does it get its energy? Well, each ant can only carry a cetain amount of sugar. That's the voltage. How fast does it get its energy? It's the voltage times the number of ants per second. This last term is the current. So sugar per second = sugar per ant times ants per second. That's power.

Another picture relating to the Steed family of Stanton Suffolk. Named after his father Arthur John he was known as Jack He was born in Stanton in around 1894. .His records show that he married an Ethel Denney in Diss in Aug 1918 and was a Wesleyan. 5ft 9 inch tall.
The back of the card lists Christmas wishes from jack Steed and his wife Ethel (Denny) and his 1st daughter Peggy born in 1923 but not the 2nd Cynthia born 1929 . So this must date to between these dates.

Dundalk overwhelm Bangor in All Ireland Final
by Roger Corbett
Bangor’s amazing run in the All Ireland Junior Cup came to an abrupt end when they were comprehensively beaten by Dundalk, eventually losing by 55-5.
Where do you start when trying to relate and absorb the events of Saturday’s final at Chambers Park? Firstly, congratulations to worthy winners Dundalk who nullified the Bangor attack, then went on to produce some stunning plays which racked up no less than 8 tries, each by a different player. For Bangor’s part, they were unable to respond to the intensity of Dundalk’s game, and lacked the cutting edge which their opponents used to great effect.
The day started full of promise, as the strong support from North Down made their way to Chambers Park in Portadown, knowing Bangor would be fielding their best team. Once again, the pundits had Bangor as the underdogs – just as they had done so in the previous three rounds! In confounding the experts earlier, Bangor produced some awesome performances against top quality opposition to get to the final. Dundalk had produced some convincing wins in the early rounds of the competition, but had struggled to get past CIYMS in the semi-final, just managing to squeeze ahead at the second time of asking. However, with a number of key players returning to the side in time for this game, they were now back at full strength and would be a formidable force to contend with.
Having won the toss, captain Jamie Clegg elected to play into the stiff wind in the first half. For the first 5 minutes, Bangor doggedly retained possession and tried to play their way into Dundalk’s half through a series of determined forward moves. However, little ground was made and, when possession was finally lost, the Dundalk back line produced a burst that simply cut through the Bangor defence resulting in an easy touch down under Bangor’s posts for a 7-0 lead.
Bangor stuck to their plan and slowly, but patiently, got their attack moving forward, eventually winning a penalty to the left of Dundalk’s posts, but Mark Widdowson’s kick into the wind drifted just wide of the mark.
The contrast in play between the two teams was becoming clear, with Bangor trying to keep the ball close while Dundalk were throwing it wide. The latter strategy was proving to be the more effective as, with 20 minutes gone, a quick back line move with players looping around resulted in an overlap on the right wing which gave a clear run in to again, score under the posts. A further 9 minutes later, they did it again and, although the Bangor defence had sensed the danger and moved across to cover it, their tackling let them down allowing Dundalk to get over in the right hand corner, taking their lead to 19-0.
By now, Bangor were trying to hang on until half time when they could regroup and come out with the wind at their backs. Dundalk, on the other hand were anxious to press home their advantage and give them a more comfortable lead. To Bangor’s credit, although camped on their own line for lengthy spells, they dug in and managed to hold on until the referee’s half time whistle.
As the teams reappeared from the dressing rooms, it was obvious Bangor were ringing the changes, particularly in the backs. With the wind advantage having lessened considerably, Bangor got the second half underway. It was now Dundalk’s turn to adopt the slow, steady approach, just as Bangor had done earlier. However, their more confident off-loading and support play was, once again, taking play deep into Bangor’s territory. Frustration at not being able to gain possession and take play out of their danger area eventually resulted in a yellow card for Clegg after a succession of penalties. Dundalk kicked the penalty to touch, won their lineout and drove for the line. Although initially held up by the Bangor defence, Dundalk’s repeated drives were eventually rewarded with another converted score, extending their lead to 26-0.
From the touchline, the Bangor faithful had felt that if their players had managed to score first in the second half, they may have been able to mount a fight-back and close the gap to their opponents. As it was, this Dundalk score simply bolstered their confidence and pushed Bangor deeper into trouble. With Bangor still a man down, Dundalk added to the score with a penalty and then another score in the corner. Everything was now working for the Leinster men, as even the difficult touchline conversion into the biting wind successfully split the posts, bringing the score to 36-0.
As the game entered the final quarter, and with Dundalk all but holding the cup, Bangor were now on the ropes. By contrast, the Dundalk players were in almost total control, and were not going to slow down now. In a 10 minute spell, they ran in a further 3 tries, making the scoreline 55-0. By now, any sense of dejection the Bangor supporters may have been feeling was now moved to feelings of sympathy for their players. However, pride was at stake and once again Bangor rallied as the game entered its final minutes. At last, the forwards got within striking distance of the Dundalk line and, although their repeated attacks were repelled, they finally managed to do what their opponents had done so effectively, and quickly passed the ball wide to Davy Charles. Even though they were 55 points ahead, the Dundalk defence made Charles work hard to drive through the tackles and score Bangor’s consolation try, bringing the final score to 55-5.
From Bangor’s point of view, the final score doesn’t tell the whole story of this competition. While the final may have resulted in a sad anti-climax for Bangor, the remarkable journey to get there will be remembered for some time. On the day, Dundalk were by far the better side, and Bangor would have to concede that their game was not up to the usual standard. However, there is no doubt the experience of competing at this level is something to relish and the goal now will be to secure a top four place in the league and try again next year.
Everybody at the club has nothing but the highest respect and praise for what has been achieved this year by not just the 1sts, but all the senior teams, and one poor result isn’t going to change that – the welcome at Upritchard Park for the returning players is testament to that. With that in mind, the players now need to put this disappointment behind them and provide the best possible response against a struggling Portadown side at home in the league next Saturday.

Three first half tries had them firmly in control at 19-0 ahead having played with the elements at the Portadown venue during the first half and while the wind dropped somewhat after half time the Dundalk intensity most certainly didn’t as they cut loose scoring five more tries.
Dundalk returned to a heroes welcome at their Mill Road clubhouse on Saturday night after a display of pure brilliance throughout the afternoon.

Finally, another HBO series I can get totally hooked into. And not just 'cuz of the sex. (I mean, REALLY... does anyone want to see Jane Alexander naked, giving head, really?)
It's extremely well written and acted (primarily a female writing staff), and really groundbreaking in looking at dysfunctional relationships through the prism of unflinching portrayal of sex.
Last night (we're a couple of weeks behind, watching it On Demand) we finally got to see Tim DeKay's weenie, just a little. I still think Carnivàle was the best thing that's ever been done on TV (DeKay was in it), so I was eager to see what he'd do in this show.
Turns out he and his wife, despite clearly loving each other, have a sex life that has completely fallen apart, and by ignoring the problem, dancing around it, avoiding it, etc., have now gone for over a year without having sex. While there are plenty of dissimilarities, there are enough parallels between this story and my recent history that it's both fascinating to watch... and a little strange to be watching it with Tom... then, true to form, never discussing how it relates to our own past.

The black man is Memnon, the great warrior said to be from “Aethiopia,” who is briefly mentioned by Homer in the Iliad, the epic account of the struggle between Greece and Troy. The story of Memnon was greatly enlarged upon by subsequent writers, who relate his arrival at Troy with innumerable troops. Although Achilles slays him in battle, in the manner of the Greek epic, Memnon’s fame only increases, and he is made immortal by the gods. Read More at TheRoot.com This work is an example of something that I’ve had to explain to people who thought they were being extremely clever. A lot of people, including art history teachers, will tell you that “Black figure technique” has nothing to do with depicting race. And it doesn’t necessarily, except for when…you know…it does. Memnon is a canonically Black character from Greek literature, depicted above on a vase in which he is shown to be Black, with this technique, and obviously contrasted with two figures who aren’t Black. And yet, even given the evidence of their own eyes, people will still argue that Memnon is fictional, and that somehow “doesn’t count” towards *ahem* “proving” whatever they have decided my point is supposed to be. Expect, well, you also have the surviving portrait bust of a real man who was also called “Memnon” (he was a student of philosopher Herodes Atticus) specifically because of his Ethiopian ancestry and his perceived resemblance to the Memnon of legend. Too much of what we conceptualize around the aesthetics of Ancient Greece and Rome is actually from the European Renaissance, with its focus on “Classical” virtues, values, and aesthetics. Then, you have the Enlightenment, with its scientific racism, racial-cultural claim-making, and philosophical justifications for enslavement, genocide, and colonialism. The imposition of whiteness onto the past, and “cleaning it up” (I’m talking dunking the Elgin Marbles in acid) to better fit a misconception of the past, can be related to Western chromophobia. What we think of as our own personal, “aesthetic” choices are actually shaped by these massive social and historical forces. And that doesn’t even begin to go into how Greco-Roman cultural achievements are perceived in the United States as belonging to whiteness and as evidence to support white supremacy, as opposed to being culturally-specific to the people descended from Greek and Roman cultures in antiquity. And before you start to think, “oh, well, not ME, I haven’t been affected by these ideas” take a look at Augusta Prima Portia’s original color scheme and let me know whether it bothers you: It’s a source of aggravation for me that we lie so much to ourselves and others when it comes to just how much we project OUR ideals onto the past, and then throw up our hands and say, “it’s not ME, it’s history!” Too much of art history writing approaches its subjects with the assumption that we can somehow know the intricacies of the society and culture, much less the individual(s), that produced the art we see before us today. And even so, this massive cultural arrogance would be less destructive if it didn’t also cut off other lines of speculation and research. So, how many exceptions does it take to show that the rule is wrong? How many things can be “the only”, or “an anomaly” or “just an artistic convention” or other terms that mean the same thing, in essence? How much “cherry picking” can I truly be doing if I am pretty much buried in flipping cherries? But that doesn’t matter when you come to the research table with the preconceived notion that whiteness is the default, and every human figure you’re going to see “from history!” is white until “proven” otherwise, in a field where “proof” is irrelevant to actual evidence. Anyhow, I’m going to be posting more black-figure works I think are relevant to the topic at hand. And as always, it is up to you to decide what you see.

Dundalk overwhelm Bangor in All Ireland Final
by Roger Corbett
Bangor’s amazing run in the All Ireland Junior Cup came to an abrupt end when they were comprehensively beaten by Dundalk, eventually losing by 55-5.
Where do you start when trying to relate and absorb the events of Saturday’s final at Chambers Park? Firstly, congratulations to worthy winners Dundalk who nullified the Bangor attack, then went on to produce some stunning plays which racked up no less than 8 tries, each by a different player. For Bangor’s part, they were unable to respond to the intensity of Dundalk’s game, and lacked the cutting edge which their opponents used to great effect.
The day started full of promise, as the strong support from North Down made their way to Chambers Park in Portadown, knowing Bangor would be fielding their best team. Once again, the pundits had Bangor as the underdogs – just as they had done so in the previous three rounds! In confounding the experts earlier, Bangor produced some awesome performances against top quality opposition to get to the final. Dundalk had produced some convincing wins in the early rounds of the competition, but had struggled to get past CIYMS in the semi-final, just managing to squeeze ahead at the second time of asking. However, with a number of key players returning to the side in time for this game, they were now back at full strength and would be a formidable force to contend with.
Having won the toss, captain Jamie Clegg elected to play into the stiff wind in the first half. For the first 5 minutes, Bangor doggedly retained possession and tried to play their way into Dundalk’s half through a series of determined forward moves. However, little ground was made and, when possession was finally lost, the Dundalk back line produced a burst that simply cut through the Bangor defence resulting in an easy touch down under Bangor’s posts for a 7-0 lead.
Bangor stuck to their plan and slowly, but patiently, got their attack moving forward, eventually winning a penalty to the left of Dundalk’s posts, but Mark Widdowson’s kick into the wind drifted just wide of the mark.
The contrast in play between the two teams was becoming clear, with Bangor trying to keep the ball close while Dundalk were throwing it wide. The latter strategy was proving to be the more effective as, with 20 minutes gone, a quick back line move with players looping around resulted in an overlap on the right wing which gave a clear run in to again, score under the posts. A further 9 minutes later, they did it again and, although the Bangor defence had sensed the danger and moved across to cover it, their tackling let them down allowing Dundalk to get over in the right hand corner, taking their lead to 19-0.
By now, Bangor were trying to hang on until half time when they could regroup and come out with the wind at their backs. Dundalk, on the other hand were anxious to press home their advantage and give them a more comfortable lead. To Bangor’s credit, although camped on their own line for lengthy spells, they dug in and managed to hold on until the referee’s half time whistle.
As the teams reappeared from the dressing rooms, it was obvious Bangor were ringing the changes, particularly in the backs. With the wind advantage having lessened considerably, Bangor got the second half underway. It was now Dundalk’s turn to adopt the slow, steady approach, just as Bangor had done earlier. However, their more confident off-loading and support play was, once again, taking play deep into Bangor’s territory. Frustration at not being able to gain possession and take play out of their danger area eventually resulted in a yellow card for Clegg after a succession of penalties. Dundalk kicked the penalty to touch, won their lineout and drove for the line. Although initially held up by the Bangor defence, Dundalk’s repeated drives were eventually rewarded with another converted score, extending their lead to 26-0.
From the touchline, the Bangor faithful had felt that if their players had managed to score first in the second half, they may have been able to mount a fight-back and close the gap to their opponents. As it was, this Dundalk score simply bolstered their confidence and pushed Bangor deeper into trouble. With Bangor still a man down, Dundalk added to the score with a penalty and then another score in the corner. Everything was now working for the Leinster men, as even the difficult touchline conversion into the biting wind successfully split the posts, bringing the score to 36-0.
As the game entered the final quarter, and with Dundalk all but holding the cup, Bangor were now on the ropes. By contrast, the Dundalk players were in almost total control, and were not going to slow down now. In a 10 minute spell, they ran in a further 3 tries, making the scoreline 55-0. By now, any sense of dejection the Bangor supporters may have been feeling was now moved to feelings of sympathy for their players. However, pride was at stake and once again Bangor rallied as the game entered its final minutes. At last, the forwards got within striking distance of the Dundalk line and, although their repeated attacks were repelled, they finally managed to do what their opponents had done so effectively, and quickly passed the ball wide to Davy Charles. Even though they were 55 points ahead, the Dundalk defence made Charles work hard to drive through the tackles and score Bangor’s consolation try, bringing the final score to 55-5.
From Bangor’s point of view, the final score doesn’t tell the whole story of this competition. While the final may have resulted in a sad anti-climax for Bangor, the remarkable journey to get there will be remembered for some time. On the day, Dundalk were by far the better side, and Bangor would have to concede that their game was not up to the usual standard. However, there is no doubt the experience of competing at this level is something to relish and the goal now will be to secure a top four place in the league and try again next year.
Everybody at the club has nothing but the highest respect and praise for what has been achieved this year by not just the 1sts, but all the senior teams, and one poor result isn’t going to change that – the welcome at Upritchard Park for the returning players is testament to that. With that in mind, the players now need to put this disappointment behind them and provide the best possible response against a struggling Portadown side at home in the league next Saturday.

In front of a big crowd at Chambers Park on Saturday afternoon Dundalk delivered a stunning and ruthless display to see off the challenge of Bangor and capture the All Ireland Junior Cup title for the very first time.
Three first half tries had them firmly in control at 19-0 ahead having played with the elements at the Portadown venue during the first half and while the wind dropped somewhat after half time the Dundalk intensity most certainly didn’t as they cut loose scoring five more tries.
Dundalk returned to a heroes welcome at their Mill Road clubhouse on Saturday night after a display of pure brilliance throughout the afternoon.
Precision, pace and skill from the Louth men from start to finish left Bangor playing second fiddle for long periods.

Opening of UN police week 2017
Jean-Pierre Lacroix, Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, Lisa M. Buttenheim, Assistant Secretary-General for Field Support, Alexandre Zouev, Assistant Secretary-General for Rule of Law and Security Institutions and Tayé-Brook Zerihoun, Assistant Secretary-General for Political Affairs provided participants of UN police week an overview of major developments, political trends and strategic priorities and on how they relate to UN policing, followed by a discussion with heads of United Nations police components.
Heads of police components (HOPCs) in UN peacekeeping operations and special political missions came to New York for discussions, as well as briefings to the Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations and the Security Council.
During the week, Heads of police components considered the recommendations of the Internal Review of the UN Peace and Security Architecture related to UN policing, as well as the status of implementation of the Secretary-General’s reform plan on UN policing as outlined in S/2016/952, following the adoption of Security Council resolution 2382 (2017) on UN policing.
On Monday, the Security Council adopted resolution 2382 (2017), which supports operationalizing the Strategic Guidance Framework for International Police Peacekeeping. The resolution also recognized the important role that United Nations police components play in the protection of civilians, including in preventing and addressing sexual and gender‑based violence, and violations and abuses against children.
In his address to the Security Council, Under‑Secretary‑General for Peacekeeping Operations Jean‑Pierre Lacroix said the United Nations police played a continued vital role in bridging the Organization’s work from prevention and peacekeeping to peacebuilding and development (Video recording). The Police Commissioner of the United Nations Mission for Justice Support in Haiti (MINUJUSTH), Brigardier General Georges-Pierre Monchotte, briefed the Security Council on good practices of reforming the Haiti National Police (video recording). The Police Commissioner of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA), Issoufou Yacouba briefed on strengthening the serious and organized crime capacities of the Malian security forces (video recording). Police Commissioner Priscilla Makotose of the African Union/United Nations Hybrid operation in Darfur (UNAMID) briefed the Security Council on gender responsive policing (video recording). Following the briefing, Security Council President, Italian Ambassador Sebastiano Cardi, the Head of UN peacekeeping USG Jean-Pierre Lacroix and Police Adviser Luis Carrilho (UNPOL) delivered a press briefing (video recording).
On Tuesday, the discussions of heads of UN police components focused on partnerships, good practices and challenges of UN capacity-building. More than 11,000 United Nations police officers from 89 countries (as of September 2017), are mandated to assist host-States in reforming their police and other law enforcement institutions.
Building on Security Council resolution 2382 (2017), Police Commissioners focused on Wednesday on how police can be more effective in conflict prevention, peacekeeping and peace sustainment. Heads of UN police components also discussed how to achieve gender-responsive policing. As of September 2017, 1,118 female police officers from 70 countries serve in peacekeeping operations and special political missions. They act as role models for gender equality, inspiring women and girls to advocate for their own rights and pursue careers in law enforcement.
On Thursday, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres briefly met and took a photo with the Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, Jean-Pierre Lacroix, Assistant Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, Bintou Keita, Assistant Secretary-General for Rule of Law and Security Institutions, Alexandre Zouev, UN Police Adviser Luis Carrilho and Heads of police components in UN peace operations. In his message, Secretary-General Guterres stressed that United Nations police save countless lives, heal community tensions. The Secretary‑General also called for more women in United Nations police command positions.
Earlier on the same day, the UNAMID Police Commissioner Priscilla Makotose, MONUSCO Police Commissioner Awale Abdounasir and MINUSCA Police Commissioner Roland Zamora briefed the Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations (C-34) on transitioning, gender/electoral security and capacity development respectively.
On Friday, UN police week closed following a session on human rights in UN police activities. The closing remarks were delivered by Alexandre Zouev, Assistant Secretary-General for Rule of Law and Security Institutions, Bintou Keita, Assistant Secretary-General for Rule of Law and Security Institutions and UN Police Adviser Luis Carrilho.

Some histories relate Little John as a native of Hathersage. Robin Hood is said to have been born at Loxley just 8 from Hathersage. Although no specific mention seems to be made of where Little John was born there is considerable evidence of his burial remaining in Hathersage. The 10ft long grave in the churchyard in 1784 yielded a 30 inch thigh bone. This bone after being exhumed from the grave has since supposedly disappeared.

This was taken a few months back, but relates to something kind of funny/strange that happened last week. First of all, it is not our cat, but that is our side yard fence. The cat belongs to the house behind us. He is staring at another neighborhood cat that was in our front yard at the time.
So, the other night I wake up around 5am and go to the bathroom. I hear water running in the pipes below. Very loud. I go downstairs and look around thinking maybe a pipe burst, but can't find anything, so I turn off the water main to the house to make the noise stop. After lying awake for 2 hours until the sun came up, which included going down to check around the house with a flashlight for leaking water, including outside, I finally get up again and use the bathroom. Afterward, I turn on the water main to fill up the toilet tank. This time, I quickly traced the sound of the water from the pipes below our room to the hose bib on the side of the house right below where this cat is sitting in this photo. Sure enough, the faucet is on. At first I was at a loss to explain it. Finally arrived at the possibility of an animal turning on the faucet by bumping into it, since I've actually done that a few times. Sure enough, lots of scratches on the fence boards next to the faucet. Yeah, the house is weird in that the pipes to that faucet go up through the center of the house to the attic and then down the side wall. It is like they forgot to plumb for it when they poured the foundation. Most of the pipes are there instead. I never hear that faucet from inside when it is on since I'm the one using it outside normally.
Short story long, I think this cat had used the faucet as a spring board enough times to climb up the fence that it had finally nudged the water on. It can't have been on for long, since there wasn't any puddling yet. It had rained the night before, though, so I didn't notice it when I waved the flashlight around earlier. All I can say is that I'm glad we didn't have a leak in the house like I was originally imagining in my fog of sleep. That, and I'm glad the water was only on for a little while. I don't think it would have done any damage since the water would have run off into the yard and down the street, but it would have been a huge waste if it had happened a few days previously, when we were away for the weekend.
Cute cat, though. He is a roamer. Kind of surprised the coyotes haven't gotten him yet. We still haven't gotten any new cats. Still strange to not have any in the house anymore. We're thinking maybe in the spring.

"Sustainability can relate to the memory and preservation of the traditional craftsmanship and in 1.26, we see an extremely innovative way of preserving a craft that might be seen as obsolete by most. Janet Echelman has been inspired by the traditional craftsmanship of fish net weaving and lace making in the construct of her urban sculptures and has re-intepreted the technique to new heights through the technology that she had utilised, allowing all to appreciate traditional crafts in a new form.
In the piece for i Light Marina Bay 2014, Janet Echelman’s luminous 1.26 sculpture will suspend over the floating platform. The form and content has been drawn from observing Earth’s interconnected systems. Echelman used laboratory research from NASA and NOAA which documented the effects of the 2010 earthquake in Chile — the historic shock resulted in the shortening of the earth’s day by 1.26 microseconds, which became the influence for the installation’s name. The colorful volumetric piece takes the shape of a tsunami sweeping across the ocean. In her studio, she generated a three-dimensional model of the tsunami that resulted from Chile’s earthquake, then used software to create an outline of the rendering’s highest amplitude area, realising the silhouette as a sculptural form. The material underscores connectivity — Echelman’s work utilises Honeywell Spectra fibre, a material that is 15 times stronger than steel by weight. The knotted mesh can withstand high winds, but is engineered specifically to imitate the intricacy of handmade lace.
This piece not only reminds us of today’s ever changing face of the earth and the effects natural disasters have on people, but it is also a piece that highlights the courageousness of the survivors and the interconnected populations who are fighting against these effects of climate change in today’s context."
