EXCAVATION DIFFICULTY—The relative force or energy required to dig soil out of place. Excavation Difficulty Class and the moisture condition (moist or dry, but not wet) are described. Estimates can be made for either the most limiting layer or for each horizon.
"Moderate" excavation difficulty by tile spade requires impact energy or foot pressure; arm pressure is insufficient.
"High" excavation difficulty by tile spade is difficult but easily done by pick using over-the-head swing.
The layer being examined required overhead impact energy--both foot pressure or arm pressure was insufficient and an over head swing with a tile spade was difficult--indicating a "high" excavation difficulty. This degree of difficulty is common for root limiting layers such as soils high in plinthite, fragipans, densic materials, or paralithic materials.
The massive root limiting layer being tested was not cemented.

Last night, my wife and I were sitting in the living room
and I said to her, "I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on
some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the
plug."
She got up, unplugged the TV and then threw out my beer.

A statue of him, in Portland stone, stands on Princes Street in Edinburgh, facing Castle Street. It was executed by the sculptor F. W. Pomeroy, and erected in 1910.[4] Reading - An eloquent preacher of the gospel. Founder of the Edinburgh Original Ragged Industrial Schools, and by tongue and pen, the apostle of the movement elsewhere. One of the earliest temperance reformers. A friend of the poor and of the oppressed.
Thomas Guthrie FRSE (12 July 1803 – 24 February 1873) was a Scottish divine and philanthropist, born at Brechin in Angus (at that time also called Forfarshire). He was one of the most popular preachers of his day in Scotland, and was associated with many forms of philanthropy—especially temperance and Ragged Schools, of which he was a founder.
He was born on 12 July 1803 the son of David Guthrie, a banker, and later Provost of Brechin. Thomas grew to a height of six foot and three inches.
Guthrie studied at Edinburgh University for both surgery and anatomy (under Dr Robert Knox) but then concentrated on Theology. He was licensed to preach in the Church of Scotland from 1825, but having established a reputation as an evangelical he had difficulty securing a parish and instead spent two years studying medicine and science in Paris. Following his return from Paris and a period of varied employment, including as a bank manager, he was eventually offered the living of Arbirlot in Angus by the Hon William Maule in 1830. Guthrie served as Minister of Arbirlot for eight years, and while there where he adopted a dramatic style of preaching suited to his rural congregation. As well as his training for the Ministry, his medical knowledge and experience was called upon in particular during an outbreak of cholera in the parish.
In 1837 Guthrie was called to the second charge of Old Greyfriars Church, Edinburgh, alongside first charge minister Rev John Sym. Edinburgh Town Council discontinued the second charge at Old Greyfriars in October 1840 and instead created a new parish called St John's. A new church was built on Victoria Street to serve this role with Guthrie as its first minister.
Guthrie left the Church of Scotland in the Disruption of 1843 and many of his congregation followed him. They worshipped for 2 years in the Methodist Hall in Nicholson Square before moving into the purpose-built Free St John's, Johnston Terrace (now St Columba's Free Church) in 1845. Possessed of a commanding presence and voice, and a remarkably effective and picturesque style of oratory, he became perhaps the most popular preacher of his day in Scotland, and was associated with many forms of philanthropy, especially temperance and ragged schools, of which he was a founder; he first publicizing the idea in his "Plea for Ragged Schools" in 1847. His hard work as a proponent and founder of the Ragged Schools movement led him to be quoted by Samuel Smiles in his Self Help. The first ragged school was soon opened on Castle Hill, Edinburgh.
He was one of the leaders of the Free Church of Scotland, and raised over £116,000 for the Manse Fund for its ministers. Guthrie expressed serious concern that the Manse Fund would stretch the generosity of Free Church people to the limit but his fears were unfounded. After Guthrie had toured 13 Synods and 58 Presbyteries in less than a year, he was able to announce to the General Assembly of June 1846 that £116,370 had been raised. It is unlikely that anyone else could have achieved what he did in such a short space of time. His energy and oratory enabled the Manse Fund to smash its original target. Numerous ministers and their families owed a huge debt of gratitude to Guthrie for providing the resources to build manses so that the gospel could continue to prosper not just in the Highlands but across the whole of Scotland. Along with his Ragged Schools the Manse Fund was one of Guthrie's greatest legacies. With the one he showed mercy to helpless children and with the other he fought oppression by raising funds for manses.
He was made Moderator of the General Assembly of the Free Church of Scotland in 1862. He was succeeded in 1863 by Rev Roderick McLeod. Other roles included manager of Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, work for the Blind Asylum and work at the Night Refuge. In 1847 the degree of D.D. was conferred on him by the University of Edinburgh.
Dr Guthrie's most enduring legacy was the Ragged Schools which had a unique curriculum; education, regular meals, clothes, "industrial training" and Christian instruction. Most of the ragged children who attended the schools did not remain overnight but were in school for 12 hours in the summer and 11 hours in the winter. The day started at 8 am with the rather painful sounding 'ablutions' and the children were dismissed at 7:15 pm after supper. Guthrie describes the daily routine; "in the morning they are to break their fast on a diet of the plainest fare, – then march from their meal to their books; in the afternoon they are again to be provided with a dinner of the cheapest kind, – then back again to school; from which after supper, they return not to the walls of an hospital, but to their own homes. There, carrying with them a holy lesson, they may prove Christian missionaries to those dwellings of darkness and sin" Thomas Guthrie, Seed-Time and Harvest of Ragged Schools,.
The unique curriculum of Ragged Schools was done in an environment of discipline and structure although there is never a sense that the schools were harsh or austere. Guthrie was no great fan of corporal punishment and instead encouraged staff to win over children with kindness; "these Arabs of the city are wild as those of the desert, and must be broken into three habits, – those of discipline, learning and industry, not to speak of cleanliness. To accomplish this, our trust is in the almost omnipotent power of Christian kindness. Hard words and harder blows are thrown away here. With these alas they are too familiar at home, and have learned to be as indifferent to them as the smith's dog to the shower of sparks" Thomas Guthrie, Seed-Time and Harvest of Ragged Schools,. While Guthrie's management of the Ragged Schools was never sectarian or denominational he never compromised on Christian education. Perhaps one of his best quotes about the Ragged Schools sums up this view; "the Bible, the whole Bible, and nothing but the Bible; the Bible without note or comment – without the authoritative interpretation of priest or presbyter – as the foundation of all its religious teaching, and of its religious teaching to all". It was, however, through objections to the religious part of the curriculum that those who differed from Guthrie on the issue later founded the United Industrial School, giving combined secular and separate religious instruction.
Guthrie himself saw the Ragged Schools as his most enduring legacy; "I never engaged in a cause, as a man and a Christian minister that I believe on my death-bed I will look back on with more pleasure or gratitude to God, than that he led me to work for Ragged Schools. I have the satisfaction, when I lay my head upon my pillow, of always finding one soft part of it: and that is, that God has made me an instrument in His hand of saving many a poor creature from a life of misery and crime" Thomas Guthrie and Sons, Autobiography and Memoirs (London, 1896, p 496). Guthrie’s legacy of Ragged Schools did more than almost any social philanthropist in history to change the nation of Scotland. Amongst Guthrie’s last words he was overheard to say "a brand plucked from the burning!" His legacy was that through his vision and love for his Saviour, the Ragged School movement was established which in turn plucked thousands of little brands from a life of poverty and crime, and brought them to know the ultimate friend of sinners.
As well as Ragged Schools Guthrie was also well known for his work as a temperance campaigner, although he did not become a total abstainer himself until the age of 38. While he was always against drunkenness it was an experience while over in Ireland that turned him away from drink altogether. While travelling with a ministerial friend in 1841 they stopped at a small county inn on a terrible cold night. Seeking some warmth and comfort they ordered some ‘toddies’ (whiskey and hot water). Out of kindness they called in their driver and offered him the same hospitality. Guthrie was stunned when this staunch, but uneducated and uncultured, Roman Catholic explained that he was a teetotaller and would not touch a drop of alcohol. From that day forward Guthrie resolved to abstain from alcohol and became one of the leaders of the temperance movement.
The determination with which Guthrie pursued the temperance cause was all the more remarkable when we understand how unusual this position was in the first half of the 19th century. In his autobiography he reckons that when he was at Edinburgh University there was not a single student who was an abstainer. Perhaps even more remarkably Guthrie was unaware of any minister in the Church of Scotland who was a teetotaller. Undeterred by this, Guthrie established the Free Church Temperance Society along with Horatius Bonar and William Chalmers Burns. When the ‘Scottish Association for the Suppression of Drunkenness’ was formed in 1850 they turned to Guthrie to write their first booklet entitled ‘A Plea on behalf of Drunkards and against Drunkenness’. Other booklets followed and Guthrie was instrumental in bringing about the Licensing (Scotland) Act 1853 or the ‘Forbes Mackenzie Act’, as it is better known. This Act forced public houses to close at 10.00 pm on weekdays and all day on Sundays. Even today it is still illegal to buy alcohol after 10.00 pm in shops, although this is not so in Public Houses.
Guthrie’s work on total abstinence reached its climax with preaching a series of sermons on Luke 19 v 41 and their publication under the title, 'The City, Its Sins and Sorrows’ in 1857. The stories of the impact that these sermons had around the world are many and varied but space allows us to mention only one of them. One of Guthrie’s later biographers, Oliphant Smeaton, recounts meeting a wealthy Scot while visiting Australia. This man, while resident in Scotland, had lived a dissolute lifestyle but one day found himself wandering in to St John’s Free Church. Listening to the powerful oratory of Guthrie as he preached on Christ weeping over Jerusalem, the man left affected but unchanged. All week he tried to kill his conscience through plunging headlong into drunkenness.
The following Sunday he was drawn back to hear Guthrie again despite being under the influence of drink. The great orator did not disappoint. Toward the end of his sermon he leaned his huge frame over the pulpit and said with great feeling: "There are few families among us so happy as not to have had some one near and dear to them either in imminent peril hanging over the precipice, or the slave of intemperance altogether sold under sin." The hearer could contain his emotions no longer and left a broken man. The following day he sought out Dr Guthrie and was dealt with "fatherly kindness." He continues: "when he had knelt with me at the throne of grace, and offered up a prayer, the like of which I never heard before or since, he bade me farewell, inviting me to return and see him: but I never did so". Within weeks the man was on a ship to Australia where he became a wealthy businessman and generous contributor to charity work.
Among his writings are The Gospel in Ezekiel (1855) and Plea for Ragged Schools (1847), and The City, its Sins and Sorrows (1857), "Christ and the Inheritance of the Saints" (1858), "The Way to Life", Speaking to the Heart", the "Life of Robert Flockhart", "Man and the Gospel" (1865), "The Angels Song" (1865), "The Parables" (1866), "Our Fathers Business" (1867), "Out of Harness" (1867), "Early Piety" (1869), "Studies of Character" (1868–70) and "Sundays Abroad" (1871), "The Sunday Magazine"

"I grew up with displacement and difficulties but I want better life and future for my children", says Hassan, father of three at Bariga IDPs settlement in Bossaso city of northern Somalia. Hasan fled fighting in Mogadishu in 2010..Women and children are particularly exposed to additional safety risks and suffer multiple hardships during their displacement..Conflict, insecurity, drought and famine have defined Somalia throughout the past two decades. Currently, a third of the population (2.51 million people) is still in crisis and in need of immediate food security and livelihood assistance. ..UNICEF is scaling up its emergency response in coordination with local authorities and more than 100 national and international partner organizations, while leading the education, nutrition and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) clusters and the child protection sub-cluster. ..UNICEF humanitarian action encompasses more than rapid response. It also involves reliable preparedness and calls for investment in early recovery from the very onset of a response. UNICEF increasingly recognizes the need for all its programmes to build resilience and reduce risk.
We had some difficulty identifying this fox seen on the far end airfield during the return leg of our longest penetration along the pipeline road in Kaa Iya National Park in the South-east of Bolivia. Our guide said it was "Yellow-legged Fox" which googling determined was local parlance for Pampas Fox but we were puzzled by the markings, which seemed spot-on for Culpeo! Further research and consultation with mammal-watchers via the internet determined it was indeed Pampas Fox.

The difficulties involved in building the steel ribbon through the gorges of eastern Turkey were immense. While Kayseri was reached in 1927 and Sivas two years later, it took a full ten years before the line to Erzurum could be completed. The railway largely follows the courses of the Karaboğaz, Çaltı, and Euphrates rivers, but required countless tunnels and bridges.

Während bereits 1927 Kayseri und zwei Jahre später Sivas erreicht wurden, dauerte es ganze zehn Jahre, ehe die Strecke bis Erzurum fertiggestellt werden konnte. Die Bahn folgt weitgehend den Flussläufen des Karaboğaz, Çaltı und Euphrat, erforderte aber unzählige Tunnels und Brücken.

At Ace Academy, we know the difficulties P6 students face in scoring well
for their PSLE. Besides thorough knowledge of the subject contents,
students have to master exam skills in order to attain a high aggregate
score.
Our PSLE Intensive Workshops thus fulfil two objectives.
Specially developed and taught by NIE-trained teachers, these Workshops
serve as "booster packs" to enable P6 students to have a comprehensive
revision of the subjects, including refresher modules for topics covered in
P3 to P5. The Workshops also address common misconceptions of various
topics and pitfalls to avoid in answering PSLE questions.
In addition, the Workshops will cover exam strategies, techniques and skills
to enable the students to tackle standard and higher-order thinking
questions effectively for better overall grades in PSLE!

Though Geoffrey deHavilland was successful with the DH.60 Moth series of trainers and light aircraft, he felt the design could be improved--the pilot would have difficulty bailing out of the front cockpit because of the placement of the fuel tank, and the Moth had poor ground clearance. With this in mind, deHavilland moved the top wing forward and reduced the distance between the wings; he also added an uprated Gipsy III engine. The result was at first designated DH.60T, T standing for trainer, but it soon acquired the nickname "Tiger," which led to the aircraft being named Tiger Moth. DeHavilland felt that this was practically a new design, and so it was designated the DH.82. The first flew in October 1931.
The Tiger Moth was a perfect trainer, and it would quickly replace other primary trainers in Royal Air Force service. It was liked not just for its easy handling and maintenance, but also because it could be somewhat difficult in spins and stalls--the Tiger Moth would not be completely forgiving of a green pilot. This was an advantage, as new pilots would learn how to get out of bad situations that would kill them in a more advanced aircraft; it would also weed out anyone who had no business flying. Tiger Moths were in such demand by both military and civilian customers that deHavilland had trouble producing any other design.
By the beginning of World War II in 1939, the DH.82 was the primary trainer for the British Empire. As training programs grew exponentially, civilian-owned Tiger Moths were impressed into military service. Because deHavilland was also going to be producing combat aircraft (such as the Mosquito), production was turned over to other companies, such as deHavilland Canada and Morris. By war's end, practically every pilot who served in the RAF or associated air forces of the Empire had started off in the Tiger Moth. By 1945, when production ended, nearly 9000 had been built.
Because so many were available and because of its superb reputation, war surplus Tiger Moths were quickly bought by pilots around the world; in Europe, with no real competition (as there was in the United States with Beech and Cessna), the DH.82 became the most favorite sport flyer for decades to come; the British Fleet Air Arm still had a flight in service as late as 1970. Homebuilt kits were also offered to enthusiasts. Today, the Tiger Moth is still a relatively common sight at warbird and sport flying meets.
This is not per se a "real" Tiger Moth; it's a homebuilt version. It was built by a Washington flyer in 2008 and flown for almost a decade before being retired and donated to the Tillamook Air Museum in Oregon. The color scheme could be a prewar RAF one; most wartime training schemes were either overall yellow or camouflage over yellow. It looks good, though--this aircraft is pristine, and in theory still flyable.
