The Border Pipes (or Pipe), sometimes called a Lowland or Half Long Pipes, was common in the 18th century but only rediscovered in the years since the 1970s. It has a conical bore chanter (like the Great Highland Bagpipes) and three cylindrical bore drones (which are in a common stock). Rather than the bag being inflated by mouth, there is a bellows under the arm of the piper. The Border Pipes is similar in appearance to the Scottish Small Pipes, but the latter have a cylindrical bore and are quieter (typically by an octave).
Border Pipes are assigned the number 422.112-62 in the Hornbostel-Sachs classification of musical instruments ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornbostel-Sachs ), indicating:
4 = Aerophones. Sound is primarily produced by vibrating air. The instrument itself does not vibrate, and there are no vibrating strings or membranes.
42 = Non-free aerophones. The vibrating air is contained within the instrument.
422 = Reed Instruments. The player's breath is directed against a lamella or pair of lamellae which periodically interrupt the airflow and cause the air to be set in motion.
422.1 = Double reed instruments or 7s. There are two lamellae which beat against one another.
422.11 = Single Oboes [as opposed to sets of Oboes].
422.112 = With conical bore.
422.112-62 = With Flexible Air Reservoir.

More to come on this project! #alienisolation #creativeassembly #alien #amandaripley #sega #sevastopolstation #torrrens #nostromo #ripley #customactionfigure #avesfixitsculpt
For the third time I am reworking the head sculpt to the Alien Warrior - 1:18 scale - ALIENS 86....and I think the third time will be a charm. The first sculpt was too wide, the second too short - This one will be just right as well as a rework on the teeth coming soon! #aliens #alien #alienwarrior #queen #colonialmarines #xenomorph #sculpting
On display yestereday and today at the the Fifield Hall environmental horticulture greenhouse area, at the University of Florida.
The Show and Sale is billed as the largest poinsettia show in North America this week, showing more than 6,000 plants that include everything from traditional versions of the colorful plant to more exotic varieties. The UF environmental horticulture club will have more than 40 varieties for sale, ranging from traditional red, pink and white plants to novelty cultivars such as Visions of Grandeur, Orange Spice, Winter Rose and Ice Punch, according to Jim Barrett, a floriculture professor with UF’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.

Edward listed his occupation in Dummer as "River Man." I assume this meant he ran a ferry taking people and goods across the Androscoggin River before the Milan Bridge was built.
When Edward's widow, Hester, died in 1895 many of her belongings went to my great-grandmother, Rose Ella Andrews, who had been raised in New Hampshire by Gram and Gramp Fifield. As far as I know neither Gram nor Gramp Fifield was a blood relative.
To make the story more intriguing Rose Ella's mother, Alvina Frost (cousin of poet Robert Frost's father), had in rural Maine also been raised by Gram and Gramp Fifield.

St Peter and St Paul, Wing, Rutland
Another bike ride in England's smallest county. Sixteen churches altogether, which sounds a lot, but churches in Rutland are refreshingly close together, and generally open, although I did find two that said they were open and weren't, and one that said it wasn't, but was.
Part five.
I cycled out to the edge of Uppingham, and at a crossroads kissed lightly the tour I had made a fortnight before. That time I arrived at the crossroads from the south and turned east, today I arrived from the west and turned north. Across a narrow valley stood the village of Bisbrooke. To be honest, I had chickened out of Bisbrooke two weeks previously on the strength of the alarming dip between me and it, but with a bit more physical and mental energy now I hurtled down, and then puffed and panted up into a delightful and intensely rural little hilltop village. Just off of the main street, a narrow lane led to the church.
This is a 19th Century rebuilding of a medieval church, presumably on the same site but much larger, making it difficult to photograph and also making it seem far more imposing than it needs to be. Indeed, the battered gingerbread of the exterior makes it seem something of a fortress. The tower sits at the west end of a south aisle, and a nave with clerestories has been built beside it, so I wondered if the aisle was on the plan of the original church, the tower built on the foundations of the previous one. A painting inside the church shows it with a spire, but whether this was never built, or if it was taken down later, I don't know. Externally, it is all a bit forbidding, and I feared for the interior, but in the event I couldn't have been more wrong, for it is full of light and space. At some time towards the end of the 20th Century all the Victorian trappings were removed, the floor repaved in cool stone and the pews replaced by simple modern chairs. It is a clean, simple delight.
The east window, looking out to the valley below, has excellent glass of the Risen Christ, a central figure in opulent textured glass surrounded by clear glass, which creates a dramatic effect. I'd been led to believe that it was by Francis Skeat, but when I got home I noticed a corrigenda slip pasted into the front of my copy of Paul Sharpling's Stained Glass in Rutland Churches which includes the line p 33 Bisbrooke. Now thought not to be by F Skeat, so I'm left to wonder. It does seem to be in a Christopher Webb/Francis Skeat style, though not quite right for either of them, especially with that textured glass.
There is a simple WWI memorial chapel with two battlefield crosses to Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon Percy Evans-Freke, the original burial cross and the later gathered cemetery cross. The only 'old' things remaining in the church are the 19th Century font by the door and a small, unobtrusive window by Burlison & Gryls behind it, the only other coloured glass in the space. It makes you think what could be done with some other gloomy Victorian spaces.
From Bisbrooke it was a short distance back up to the A47, which this being Rutland has a cyclepath beside it here, which led into Glaston. I remembered the big Hall from regular journeys between Ipswich and Leicester, and in truth there isn't much more to the village than this other than a pub and the church up the back lane to the north of the road. Set back from the lane, it is a charming sight, the dumpy central tower above a narrow church with a fizzy mock-Dec window at the west end. There are no transepts. The windows around are eccentric, those to the south being assymetrical Dec. As Pevsner notes, if you take the south porch as their central axis, they become symmetrical with regard to each other. So they were conceived as a set, but this must often have been the case, so one wonders why it happened here and not elsewhere.
Internally, it is a bit gloomy but not without charm, as long, narrow churches often are. There is a north aisle, and the roof of it carries over from the nave, bringing the clerestory openings above the arcade inside the building. The interior had a pretty extensive going over in the late 19th Century, perhaps bankrolled by the Evans-Freke family of the Hall whose memorials are here and at Bisbrooke, with glass by a number of 19th Century workshops.
I was heading north again, back across that dreaded valley, but it was not so severe here and I soon reached the hilltop village of Wing, barely a hundred yards from where I had turned off for Preston and Uppingham an hour or two earlier. In the village street was the church, with a large 'church open' sign outside. The great star here is a fabulous Norman south arcade in a county where Norman arcades are by no means unusual. There is also some good 20th Century glass, and the feel of a well-used, well-loved church. None of the oddities perhaps that I had encountered previously on this journey, and if I visited it in isolation it would probably have been more memorable, but a nice church nonetheless.
And now, I headed east, scenting the train home from Stamford but with three more churches to visit before I got there.
To be continued.
The monument at the intersection of Allds and Fifield Streets in Nashua (formerly called Dunstable), NH reads:
"On this point of land dwelt John Lovewell, one of the earliest settlers of Dunstable at whose house Hannah Duston spent the night after her escape from the indians at Penacook Island March 30 1697."
A version of the story of the capture and escape can be found at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannah_Duston .

The Postcard
A postcard published by R.A. (Postcards) Ltd. of London E.C.4. They state on the back of the card that the R.A. Series is the Seal of Artistic Excellence.
They also state that the image is a real photograph, and that it was printed in England.
The card was posted in Nottingham on Thursday the 31st. July 1952 to:
Mr. I.L. Fifield,
c/o Mrs. H.E. Fifield,
162, Cricket Road,
Cowley Road,
Oxford.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Hope you are keeping
OK and all at Cricket
Road, as it leaves me in
the pink.
Love Bill".
George Carmichael Low
So what else happened on the day that Bill posted the card?
Well, the 31st. July 1952 was not a good day for George Carmichael Low, because he died on that day. Low, who was born on the 14th. October 1872, was a Scottish parasitologist.
He was born in Monifieth, Scotland, the son of Samuel Miller Low, a manufacturer of flax machinery, and educated at the University of St Andrews.
Having graduated with an MA from the University, he then studied for a medical degree at the University of Edinburgh, graduating MD in 1897. For the next two years he was a resident house doctor at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.
In November 1899 he moved to London to work at the new London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine under Patrick Manson. He was sent to Vienna to learn a new technique for sectioning mosquitos, and on his return was able to use the technique to prove that mosquitos pass on parasites from person to person during the act of biting.
In 1900 he spent three months in a malaria-ridden part of Italy, and by avoiding mosquitos demonstrated that they were responsible for the transmission of the disease.
He spent 1901 in the West Indies, confirming Manson's discovery that filaria (a small worm) transmitted by mosquitos was the cause of elephantiasis. In 1903 he was head of a team sent to Uganda to investigate the cause of "sleeping sickness" which unfortunately failed to identify the true cause (Trypanasoma sp.) of the outbreak.
On his return in 1903 he was appointed superintendent of the Albert Dock Seamen's Hospital (ADH) where the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine was located. He remained there for the rest of his working life, being appointed Senior Physician in 1919. During World War I he was made a Major in the Indian Medical Service, treating sick officers at the ADH.
In 1907 he formed, together with James Cantlie, the Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene which in 1920 was granted the Royal prefix to become the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. He was the 12th. president of the Society from 1929 to 1933, and oversaw its move into Manson House in Portland Place where it remained until 2003.
He was a keen ornithologist, and served on the council of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.

A small village set high above the Evenlode valley on the border of Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire. Recorded in Domesday as Fyfhide or five hides (600 acres), the manor was held by Henrici de Ferriers a Norman knight.
The church is 13th century in origin and has an unusual 14th century octagonal west tower. The south porch is also of interest as it has a roof of stone slabs carried on a single arch, it is believed to date from Early English period, the13th century. The south-west chancel window has two heraldic shields, one is of the Zouche family and dates from the 13th century.

28th January 2018 at the Old Fruitmarket, Glasgow.
Celtic Connections Festival, www.celticconnections.com/.
Country: Britain - Scotland. Style: various styles of traditional music.
Lineup: Ale Möller (låtmandola/flutes/whistle/trumpet/cow's horn/piano accordion/harmonium/hammered dulcimer), Aly Bain (fiddle), Fraser Fifield (low whistle/border pipes/soprano sax), Tuva Syvertsen (v/hardanger fiddle/harmonium/percussion), Knut Reiersrud (g/lap steel g), Olle Linder (d/percussion/b).
This project began as a commission for a 2016 concert in the Jazz At Berlin Philharmonic series. The aim was to step away from Jazz towards "Celtic Music". However, as a Swede and a Norwegian were asked to put the concert together it became about the paths taken by Celtic music as it travelled across northern European and the United States. The performance at Celtic Connections lacked one of the seven musicians from 2016 - Eric Bibb. However there were still several American folk songs e.g. "Mole in the Ground", "In the Pines", "St James Infirmary" (though not ones I have ever thought of as "Celtic"). The group is now two Swedes, two Norwegians and two Scots. I have previously taken photos of Ale Möller and Aly Bain in a trio with Bruce Molsky (www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/sets/72157625540625666/), Bain in his duo with Phil Cunningham (www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/albums/72157680303772331/), and a Fraser Fifield Quartet (www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/sets/72157638468331024/),
"Not many may fine artists have found their way into Second Life," said Boston Cyberarts Festival George Fifield. John Craig Freeman is the exception. Freeman is creating original works for SL.

18th November 2011 at the Queen Elizabeth Hall (Front Room), London SE1.
London Jazz Festival (free event), www.londonjazzfestival.org.uk/.
Country: Britain - Scotland & Australia (Netherlands resident). Style: Jazz - Modern.
Lineup: Phil Bancroft (tenor sax/soprano sax), Felicity Provan (trumpet), Aidan O'Rourke (fiddle), Paul Harrison (p/keyboard), Graeme Stephen (g), Mario Lima Caribe (b/bass g), Stuart Ritchie (d).
Phil Bancroft was born in London and moved to Scotland aged 9. Of the rest of band, three were born in Scotland - O’Rouke (born Glasgow, but moved to Oban aged 1), Stephen (Aberdeen) Ritchie (Aberdeen, but now living in London). Of the others, Harrison was born in Manchester (though he moved to Scotland aged 17), Caribe was born in São Paulo, Brazil (moved to Scotland in 1996) and Provan was born in Melbourne, Australia (and now lives in the Netherlands). The band demonstrates the mingling of the Scottish Jazz and Folk scenes, with O’Rourke best known as a member of Lau (for my photo of this band see: www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/sets/72157625811547273/) and Stephen regularly playing with Fraser Fifield. However unlike other projects I’ve seen (e.g. Colin Steele’s Stramash O’Rourke’s Parallelogram), the music isn’t a Jazz / Folk fusion. It does represent the tendency of both scenes for funded projects with themed compositions (and often a bit of multi-media). The tunes (and back projection video) exploring the idea of home, the project being called “Home: Small as the World”.
In this photo: The band plays its Eco-Funk number 'We've done it, we've trashed the earth, it's 2 late now, so let's go party!!". For this they changed from their pyjamas into space suits. A video of a full performance is on the internet: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oY6aHd_ZDAI.
