Described in 1953 by Macintosh, the Oxford Inflating Bellows was developed by the Nuffield Department of Anaesthetics as the basis of a versatile, artificial ventilation and anaesthetic system. The bellows, moulded from antistatic black rubber, contains a spring that causes it to self inflate to approximately half full. For transport, the bellows can be fully depressed when it locates with an internal sprung catch that secures it. Once released, the bellows acts as a flexible reservoir permitting spontaneous or manually assisted ventilation. The bellows is interposed between a pair of unidirectional, low resistance, gravity operated disc valves which are orientated to permit gas to enter the bellows from the 'INLET' port and to be expelled via the exit 'TO PATIENT' port. The latter valve can be lifted and disabled by a small magnet when it is optionally mounted on its bracket. The complete system includes a mask, angle piece, a Heidbrink-type variable orifice spill valve and a length of corrugated antistatic rubber hose. An oxygen inlet, fitted with a spring-loaded unidirectional valve, admits a supply of oxygen to the bellows whilst preventing leakage. The main assembly is housed in a free-standing metal casting. With the magnet in place and oxygen flowing, the assembled system constitutes a Mapleson 'A' partial rebreathing configuration whilst a non- rebreathing characteristic is achieved by removing the magnet. Manual ventilation is made possible by partially closing the Heidbringk valve or by replacing it with a Cardiff or similar inflating valve. The inlet port is provided with a taper to permit attachment of breathing system components.
This photo shows some of the many ways in which stages can be used. They can be built as low as 3 inches and up to ten feet high and beyond.
The multi-level feature allows stages to be used as bleachers.
The angled stage makes possible 45 degree catwalks. An "X" can be created which would attach to an existing stage. Models/Actors could then move from the main stage out into the audience area and back.
Auditorium stage too small for a large performance? This type of stage can be built to any height so it will match the existing stage...problem solved ! It can even be built over auditorium seating.

I'm sending my old Panasonic FZ28 to my son's wife's daughters's husband's niece. So yesterday I took a variety of shots to show her how versatile a 12 year old camera can be. IQ ain't half bad either.
I'd forgotten how nice it is to use a sub-1 pound camera.The cameras I use most these days are a Sony RX10iv and a Nikon P900.

The Varsity was a versatile twin piston-engined aircraft brought into RAF service in 1951 for crew training as a replacement for the Wellington T10.
The aircraft had been designed three years earlier in response to an Air Ministry specification and had been put into production once proving trials and operational tests had been completed. To adapt the successful Valetta design for a general purpose crew trainer, the Varsity was given a nose-wheel undercarriage and an under fuselage pannier bomb-aimer's station. The Museum also has an example of the Valetta which is awaiting major restoration.
The most outstanding quality of the Varsity was that it could provide excellent training for pilots, flight engineers, radio operators, navigators and bomb aimers simultaneously. The latter were seated in a very large ventral gondola which contained bomb aiming equipment and a small quantity of training bombs.
The prototype Varsity T MkI made its maiden flight on 17 July 1949. The RAF took its first deliveries in October 1951 which went to No.201 Squadron, Advanced Flying School at Swinderby, Lincolnshire. Production of the Varsity T MkI for the RAF ceased on 28 February 1954 after a total of 163 had been built.
WL679 was built by Vickers Armstrong at Bournemouth and released from their factory on 25 September 1953. This was the last Varsity to fly with Royal Air Force Insignia, but in the very distinctive livery of the Royal Aircraft Establishment. It landed at RAF Cosford on 27 July 1992 and signalled the end of an era spanning over 43 years.

Catherine Élise ‘Cate’ Blanchett was born in Ivanhoe, a suburb of Melbourne in 1969. Her American father Robert DeWitt Blanchett Jr. was a Texas naval officer who became an advertising executive, and her Australian mother June (née Gamble), was a property developer and teacher. They met when Robert's ship broke down in Melbourne. Cate is the second of three children, with an older brother and a younger sister. When Blanchett was ten, her father died of a heart attack, leaving her mother to raise the family. During her teenage years, Cate had a penchant for dressing in traditionally masculine clothing, and went through goth and punk phases, at one point shaving her head. After high school, she began a degree in economics and fine arts at the University of Melbourne but dropped out after one year to travel overseas. While in Egypt, Blanchett was asked to be an extra as an American cheerleader in the Egyptian boxing film Kaboria (Khairy Beshara, 1990). In need of money, she accepted the job.

That year, she also starred alongside Brad Pitt in David Fincher's Oscar-nominated The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008).

This versatile embroidered felt necklace will most surely liven up any outfit! The black Satin Necklace is 23” long so you can wear it over a blouse or sweater or just a tank top. A 2 ½” x 1 ½” embroidered felt pendant in a paisley motif hangs from the necklace. It has 4 gold sequins with yellow seed beads are added to the center to give it even more sparkle. An embroidered felt flower bead is added left and right of the necklace. There is no metal involved since it has a continuing strand. I just love how very light weight, soft, and comfy this is to wear.

The S-3B Viking is an all-weather, carrier-based jet aircraft, providing protection against hostile surface combatants while also functioning as the Carrier Battle Groups' primary overhead/mission tanker. Extremely versatile, the aircraft is equipped for many missions, including day/night surveillance, electronic countermeasures, Command/control/communications (C3) warfare, and search and rescue (SAR).
The S-3B's high-speed computer system processes and displays information generated by its targeting-sensor systems. These systems include; Inverse/Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR/SAR), infrared (IR) sensor and an Electronic Support (ESM) system. To engage and destroy targets, the S-3B Viking employs an impressive array of airborne weaponry including the AGM 84 Harpoon Anti-Ship Missile, AGM 65 Maverick IR missile and a wide selection of conventional bombs and torpedoes. Future Viking aircraft will also have a control capability for the AGM 84 Standoff Land Attack Missile Extended Range (SLAM-ER) missile. The S-3B provides the fleet with a very effective fixed wing, "over the horizon" aircraft to combat the significant and varied threats presented by modern maritime combatants.
Derived from the S-3A and formerly configured for Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), the S-3B of the 1990s has evolved into a premier surveillance and precision-targeting platform for the Navy along with modern precision-guided missile capabilities. On March 25, 2003, an S-3B from the "Red Griffins" of Sea Control Squadron Thirty-eight (VS 38) became the first such aircraft to attack inland and to fire a laser-guided Maverick missile in combat. The attack was made on "significant naval target" in the Tigris River near Basra, Iraq. VS-38 was embarked in USS Constellation (CV 64).

Earth Designs Garden Design and Build were asked to created a landscape and propose garden design in Clapton, East London*. Here are the details of the project
The Versatile Garden in Clapton, East London E5 0SA
The sideway of this urban garden will be decked with attractive and durable western red cedar decking, laid in a diagonal pattern for added visual interest. Planting beds will run to the left and right of the decking, with a host of of scented climbers to adorn the boundary fence.This decking will continue into the main section of the garden, where it will narrow to a point intersecting a large sandstone circle patio. The main focal point of the garden will be a curved wall constructed from vertical red cedar boards of decreasing height installed around a section of the sandstone patio. A gap between each deck board will allow views through to the planting beyond. The patio will also benefit from a bespoke red cedar ‘floating’ bench attached to the front of the curved wall and matching freestanding oval table with adjustable legs to allow use as a day bed if desired. The planting will provide structural evergreen shrubs interlaced with attractive white and yellow flowering perennials, as well as climbers around the perimeter.

8 REASONS WHY WE ALL LOVE COX
Seniors
Club legend Greg Barras sat nervously in his house at Albury as word quickly spread that his club record of 18 goals was in jeopardy. Lee Cox under the beautiful Autumn sun treated the fans to a marking and goal scoring frenzy. Cox had a near perfect game, equalling the club record, and even found time to give off four more goals to team mates in better positions.
For the first time this season Hepburn was able to score the first goal of the match, usually slow starters, the Burras showed no signs of being lethargic and had eight goals on the board by quarter time. At the main break 20 goals had been amassed with Cox kicking half of them. Cox’s sidekick, Andy McKay unusually flew under the radar, (as was Cox’s dominance) but “ Hollywood” was still close to best on ground honours with his 7 goals , superb high marking and pin point passing to Cox on the lead.
Creswick had a day they would rather forget, but to their credit, they never gave up and had some young players who had very good games. As usually is with an uneven scoreline, most of the play was forward of the centre square, in saying that Hepburn’s backline had to concentrate harder, but when the opportunity arose, Trevor Johnson, Allan Ware and coompany mopped up and created opportunities for their team mates. Daniel Smith’s big frame also posed problems for the opposition. Smith played a very versatile game, using his body to great affect so his fleet footed allies in Baker, Rees, and the James boys could get their hands on the ball.
Brian O’ Halloran, the former star rover of the 1970’s is a proud man. His oldest son Tim is doing well in his first coaching gig at Reserves level. Next in line Dan becoming a seasoned performer, but the youngest of the clan, Liam, has settled in nicely into Shane Robertson’s structure, bobbing up linking play, and showing maturity well above his years.
Next week Hepburn takes on the big improver Gordon at the Laurie Sullivan Reserve which should be a match worth watching.
Final Scores: HEPBURN 36-12-228 defeated CRESWICK 3-4-22
Goals: L. Cox 18, A. McKay 7, D. O’Halloran 3, J. James 3, J. King 2, R. Gundry, T. Johnson, D. James
Best: L. Cox, A. McKay, D. Smith, D. Rees, A. Baker, D. O’ Halloran
UNDER 18’s
For two and a half quarters Hepburn matched Creswick, but were blown away in the end by one of the premiership favorites. The highlight reel was pretty small, but Joe Malone would have featured prominently having a blinder of a game in the middle. His strong work in tight and then classy skills to finish something his younger team mates can learn from.
Tom Conroy battled hard in the ruck, certainly holding his own and Lucas Bossinger put in his best game to date. The small brigade of under 15 players who fill in each week again performed well, with Jackson Carrick and Billy Johns being rewarded kicking goals. Next week is a big game as the boys should aim to have their second win for the season.
Final Scores: HEPBURN 5-3-33 lost to CRESWICK 20-14-134
Goals: J. Malone 2, K. Frost, J. Carrick, B. Johns
Best: J. Malone, J. Liversidge, K. Frost, M. Allison, L. Bossinger, T. Conroy
The U.S. Marshals Service held its 37th Director’s Honorary Awards Ceremony in the Great Hall of the Robert F. Kennedy Justice Building in Washington Nov. 1, presenting awards in 16 categories to 423 individuals and groups who distinguished themselves in a variety of ways during the past year.
In his keynote address, the AG said, praised the agency and its people. “I have been all around the world, and I firmly believe that no nation has a finer group of law officers than the United States of America … and of all of our law enforcement agencies, the Marshals are the most versatile and the oldest federal agency in American law enforcement.
“Yours is a storied law enforcement agency—but let’s remember something. The historic badge alone is not magic. The reason the Marshals Service has been so effective is you—the people who step forward to serve.
“Nearly 3,800 Deputy U.S. Marshals and over 1,400 administrative staff, do exemplary work every day, and you—our award winners—are the best of the best. This Department is proud of you. The President is proud of you. And this nation is proud of you.
“And so I want to thank you all for the exemplary service that we are honoring today. Know this: you have our thanks and we have your back.”
The AG departed after his remarks, but the DAG remained to present the Robert Forsyth Valor Award to this year’s four recipients.
