John Lewis - Hill Street update.
In 1901, a once thriving traditional Chinese community in Pittsburgh established their own cemetery on the grounds of Homewood Cemetery. From a 1927 article in The Pittsburgh Press: “In the stone burner, paper money is burned. The departed Chinese must have money to pay in the world to come. “ At the altar, the large flat stone to the right of the pagoda, “three holes are filled with sticks of burnt joss and tallow drippings. About them occasionally can be detected tiny portions of egg shells and raw flesh, the hide intact. These are left from a graveside offering sometime later than burial.”
Further from the 1927 article: “…200 flat stones mark the temporary resting place of Celestials who await disintegration before the long journey to their native land, for the yellow men’s bones must travel across the continent, across the Pacific and often far inland before they can be united with their ancestors.” According to the article, in 1922 the bones of 35-40 made the journey and a similar shipment was expected to be made in 1928. Bodies were interred for 8-10 years, until sufficient decomposition would take place.
“But finally,” said the author, “the weary exile is over. The Chinese, alien and apart, finally commences his great pilgrimage to the homeland and to rest in the graves of revered ancestors.”

What is the Lifespan of a TV Aerial?
Perhaps, you want are planning to install a TV aerial or you recently installed one, you will of course wonder how long your aerial would last before a new one will be needed. There are a lot of factors that determine the lifespan of a TV aerial in Leeds. These factors dictate how long before a maintenance check is required and how long before a complete replacement is needed. Here at TV Aerials Leeds will take you through the most important things to note.
What is the expected lifespan of an aerial installed on the roof?
If the installation is done by a professional on a rooftop, the TV aerial typically would last around a decade or even two decades. In some cases, they even last a lot longer. On the other hand, if the installation is carried out by an amateur, it most definitely will not last as long as even 10 years. In some cases, you also have a situation where the cables and fittings develop faults long before there is any issue with the aerial itself.
Poor-fitting of Antenna or Aerial
Even if you buy the most expensive or best quality antenna with the highest quality materials, it still does not guarantee you the longest lifespan if there is an issue with installation. Poor installation is responsible for a host of problems with TV aerials and this includes but not limited to:
Very High Installation of Area
If you intend to install your antenna on an aerial mast, probably to avoid trees or for other reasons, you must use the right brackets that have the capability to support the height of the mast. A very easy way to know if the brackets will be suitable for your installation is to make sure that the spacing of the bracket is set at a minimum of 16.66% of the total height of the mast. This implies that if you are installing the mast on a 6-inch pole, your bracket should have a minimum of 1-inch spacing. However, if you want to get huge radio aerials or high-gain aerial, you can even install at a higher length. In such cases, it would be better to be more cautious and use 25 percent bracket spacing compared to the total height of the mast. It is better safe than sorry. You might also want to use a mast with a thicker diameter and thicker wall. For huge mast heights, poles with 2-inch diameter are often a good option as they would contribute significantly to the overall lifespan of your mast.
Over-tightening the U Bolt at the top
This is a very common mistake that people make when installing on masts. If the V Bolt or U Bolt is over-tightened at the top, the mast could assume a wrong shape and start to bend. The implication is that the mast will become weak, lose its structural integrity and eventually fall off. Tightening the U Bolts requires a lot of care especially for the top bolt. It is recommended that ratchet spanners are not used for the tightening as it makes it easier to over-tighten the nut. I have made this mistake in the past and it is not one I would want to repeat or want you to experience.
Lightning Strikes and Electrical Storm
On a few occasions, electrical storms could result in a TV antenna getting damaged or stop working altogether. Every component of the aerial could be destroyed in the event of an extremely high voltage passing through the aerial. When this occurs, you would have no choice but to change the full TV aerial. You would also need to replace the coaxial cable. If a bolt of lightning should directly strike your aerial, you would not only be worrying about your aerial as several of your electrical appliances are also at risk of damage as well. There is no technique the installer can use that would guarantee you safety from lightning strikes or electrical storms. Your best bet will be to have a guarantee or insurance as a newly and properly installed high-quality antenna could be destroyed by this circumstance.
There are many other practices related to installation that can decrease the lifespan of your TV aerial that will quickly turn this article into a textbook book if they were all to be covered one after the other. Some examples of other practices include a house with loose bricks, failing chimney, snapping of lashing wiring (majorly as a result of age), and aerial cables getting waterlogged as well as upside-down installation of aerials among others.
Quality of the Antenna or Aerial
There is always a temptation to compromise on quality as per budget and opted for cheaper low-quality aerial and/or accessories. There are also chances that you decided to install the antenna on your own without expert knowledge and experience by just following a guide in a bid to save on installation cost. When this is the case, you might not get to enjoy the antenna for as long as 10 years as its lifespan will be very short. Amateur installation and cheap quality equipment does not bode well for the lifespan of the aerial. There was an instance where I was invited to provide a quotation for aerial installation. My quote was rejected. About a month later, I drove past the house and observed a new antenna installation that was already broken and had fallen. The implication is that the individual would have to pay to probably get a new antenna, new materials and/or pay for fixing of the antenna. The cost of these, coupled with the initial cost installing the antenna will already be more than my initial quote that would have lasted up to 20 years or more. This is apart from the inconvenience they would have faced during the period the antenna was down.
You should not try to cut costs by compromising the quality of the parts. This is especially when it comes to items that are installed outside that are in constant exposure to adverse weather elements such as rainfall, gales, and high winds. If you live in an area where you have witnessed the wind pulling off the roof from a property, how much hope do you think a quality antenna would have, let alone a low-quality or poorly installed antenna. It is best to avoid aerials that have elements like Bacofoil as they bend easily and will not serve you well from my point of view. You should read up on recommended TV antennas as they will guide you on choosing the right TV aerial. Wolsey, Antiference and Vision are my preferred manufacturers within the United Kingdom.
Changes in times
Things are changing rapidly in the world today, especially for items that are related to technology. There are instances that your aerial could suddenly become obsolete because of technology advancements. An instance where this has happened in the past is the change to UHF from VHF as well as during the switch-over to digital. As opposed to popular perception, digital aerial does not exist. Thus, your old aerial could continue to work which we expect the switch to digital aerial. You might also be faced with a situation where there is a change in frequency or a new big building was newly built close to you. You might be forced to increase the height of your TV aerial or opt for a satellite dish instead. There is also the fact that very soon, television programs would be streamed only through the internet and no more broadcasted in formats that your antenna will be able to pick. Even though this might still be many years to come, Internet televisions are already in existence.
Loft aerials are more durable
If it is possible, you should not install your antenna in the loft for some reason. First, your loft will most likely be lower than your Fascia fixings, gable end, and chimneys. As a result, you might lose some height and getting a good signal might become a challenge. The signal would have to penetrate roof tiles and walls before your antenna can pick it. In some cases, your antenna might not be able to pick any signal. Even when signals are picked, the picture quality might be poor.
However, since loft antennas are properly covered, weather and high winds would have little effect on them. The implication is that they would last longer as their rate of deterioration would reduce significantly.
Length of Aerial Installations Warranty
Most companies would give between 1 and 2 years guarantee when they install your aerial. I give a warranty of one year. Providing us with an online review will give you a second-year warranty for free. This is not to say that we are not confident about the quality of our work or that there will be a high chance of problems with the antenna after the second year. However, it is mostly because most warranties on the parts we use for installing the aerial only have a warranty of one to 2 years as well. Some companies could give warranties of between 3 and 5 years, however, you would have to pay some money to activate the longer warranty.

1. My hands are small; please don't expect perfection whenever I make a bed, draw a picture or throw a ball. My legs are short; please slow down so that I can keep up with you.
2. My eyes have not seen the world as yours have; please let me explore safely. Don't restrict me unnecessarily.
3. Housework will always be there. I'm only little for a short time, please take time to explain things to me about this wonderful world and do so willingly.
4. My feelings are tender; please be sensitive to my needs. Don't nag me all day long. ( You wouldn't want to be nagged for your inquisitiveness). Treat me as you would like to be treated.
5. I am a special gift from God; please treasure me as God intended you to do, holding me accountable for my actions, giving me guidelines to live by and disciplining me in a loving manner.
6. I need your encouragement to grow. Please go easy on the criticism; remember, you can criticize the things I do without criticizing me.
7. Please give me the freedom to make decisions concerning myself. Permit me to fail, so that I can learn from my mistakes. Then someday I'll be prepared to make the kinds of decisions that life requires of me.
8. Please don't do things over for me. Somehow that makes me feel that my efforts didn't quite measure up to your expectations. I know it's hard, but please don't try to compare me to my brother or sister.

We are not expected to like it—but we are told not to despise it
(J.R. Miller)
"My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord." Proverbs 3:11
The Bible always talks to us as children. Chastening comes with a Father's authority—and also a Father's gentleness.
Of course, it is not possible that we should really find pleasure in being chastened. That is not natural. Indeed the Bible says, "No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful." Not even the grace of God in our hearts can take the sting out of chastening. We are not expected to like it—but we are told not to despise it. That is, we are to accept it without murmuring, without complaining, and submissively—as God's messenger to us, bringing a blessing.
It will help us to receive chastening meekly, in faith and love—if we remember that it is our heavenly Father who sends it. We know that He loves us with infinite affection. He does not take pleasure therefore in causing us pain, nor would He do it at all—were it not in some way for our good. It is because He loves us and would do us good—that He sends or permits the suffering.
We should never despise any instruction our Father gives us, however costly and painful it may be. He lets us suffer because He loves us—and would make our lives beautiful and holy.
We should be willing to endure any pain or trial, in order to have the likeness of Christ fashioned in our life.
"God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it." Hebrews 12:10-11

My daughter, Emma, was expecting her first baby. We hadn’t seen her most of the whole pandemic. My sister and I were trying to figure out a way to make the day special even when all but a very few masked guests were going to be joining the shower on Zoom. My sister is an artist, and she had the idea to blow up photos of family members and mount them to card board. We taped one to every chair as if they were seated with us. She even had the men peeking in the windows and posted by the door with speech bubbles saying things like,” is there any food left over? “ and “ I’m going to watch the game” It made a strange and lonely time into a fun and true celebration.
"Furious campaigners have accused senior officers of breaking the Remembrance Sunday tradition to honour Britain’s war dead but the police forces insist they have no choice because of Government cuts."
However, this one went ahead with combined efforts of a PC, 3 x PSCOs and volunteers.
The evening before the expected release of new methane regulations by the European Commission, the Gastivists Collective and local ally Tegengas organized a “guerrilla projection” action at the Vilvoorde gas plant on the outskirts of Brussels. The action highlighted new infrared videos of methane leakage taken by Clean Air Task Force from fossil fuel infrastructure sites across Europe.
“Just weeks ago, at the COP26 conference, the EU signed the ‘Methane Pledge’ to reduce methane emissions. Despite this, there are still billions of euros of public money that is slated to go to new fossil gas projects. If we are committed to reducing methane emissions, we need to stop importing methane and start leaving it in the ground,” said Kevin Buckland of the Gastivists Collective.
Methane, sold conventionally as fossil gas (“natural gas’), is quickly being recognized as a false solution to the global climate crisis, and incompatible with the Paris Agreement. Furthermore, the continued expansion of fossil gas infrastructure is only possible through massive investments of public money that is obtained through relentless industry greenwashing and lobbying that tries to pass off methane as a climate solution. Fossil gas is blocking real climate action, and the reliable, decentralized, and renewable energy systems the people most vulnerable to global price shocks and fossil fuel extraction so desperately need.
Europe is the world's largest importer of fossil gas (much of which comes from fracking). New EU legislation, however, only calculates methane emissions of this dirty energy source from inside Europe, while ignoring the massive leaks from extraction and transport outside of EU borders. Europe needs to own up to its responsibility to the full lifecycle emissions of the energy it consumes, and move away from false solutions such as nuclear, hydrogen, and fossil gas.
Groups across Europe are demanding legislation that listens to climate science, and not the fossil fuel industry, and thus a full fossil gas phase-out by 2035. Any new fossil gas infrastructure that is approved today will either become a climate menace or a stranded asset. Our public money should be going to pay for a just climate transition, not to maintain industry share prices.
The current energy situation across Europe, from the conflict between Morocco and Algeria to Russia’s leverage of gas as a geopolitical tool, proves to us that energy is too important to be left in the hands of for-profit industry and rogue politicians and kings. The EU needs to have transparent and reliable methane emissions reporting, and make policy based on science - not by industry lobby groups such as ENTSOG. It is time for Europe to lead the world in developing locally-owned, reliable, and resilient energy systems, instead of continuing to burn public money through the relentless combustion of fossil fuels.

Size 2. The black is from a black men's T-shirt, I used the premade hems for the sleeves and bottom hem. I added a double row of pink decorative stitching to the sleeve hems, around the neck and the join of the bottom band. The coloured knit used for the middle section is probably a polyester knit from spotlight, it came in a remnants bag. This has come out much smaller than I expected and I'm not sure it would fit a size 2 as the black was quite a stable knit.

On the morning of Tuesday, October 21, 2008 an event with Barack Obama was hosted at the Lake Worth Campus of Palm Beach Community College in the Elizabeth W. Erling Gymnasium.
Instead of the expected Obama Rally, the stage was set for a round table discussion. When Barack Obama took the stage, he spoke for about 10 minutes, proposing a job tax credit for each new employee hired by American businesses, eliminating capital gains taxes for small businesses, rebuilding the nation's infrastructure, rebuilding a "broke" health-care system, creating a world-class education system and investing in renewable energy. Then Obama explained the bi-partisan panel we were about to witness and introduced the participants... right to left... Governor of Colorado Bill Ritter, CEO of Google Eric Schmidt, Governor of Ohio Ted Strickland, owner of South Florida-based Victoria & Associates Victoria Villalba, former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volker, the Governor of Michigan Jennifer Granholm and last but certainly not least the Governor of New Mexico Bill Richardson.
Barack Obama called for five million new jobs to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, help rebuild the country's infrastructure and in the process help to save our planet.
