May 18th 1940 a very proud day for William Davenport. On his arm, his daughter Phyllis Davenport on her way to marry Harold Knapper at St John’s Parish Church Ainsdale near Southport Lancashire. Her home 19 Unit Road Ainsdale near to the church. William always kept an immaculate garden full of lovely perfumed roses which were his pride and joy.
William, the son of Thomas and Mary Davenport was born second of January 1885 at 56 Arthur Street Seaforth Liverpool. His dad, Thomas, was a brass finisher. By 1891 William had three brothers also born in Liverpool. However, sometime between 1888 and 1901 the family moved from Liverpool to Horwich where William had a further brother and a sister.
William aged 16 was working in the Lancashire and Yorkshire railway works as a steam engine maker fitter along ,with his brother James aged 14. Their father Thomas was a brass finisher also working in the LYR railway works. He retired in 1925
BUSAN, Republic of Korea (Feb. 16, 2017) Vice Adm. Jung, Jin-Sup, the commander of Republic of Korea Fleet (CRF), Rear Adm. Brad Cooper, the commander of U.S. Naval Forces Korea (CNFK), and Marc Knapper, Chargé d’Affaires for the U.S. embassy in Seoul, stand with awardees from both navies during the second official CRF and CNFK Navy alliance awards ceremony. The ceremony is in honor of CNFK's one-year anniversary since the command move to Busan. CNFK is the U.S. Navy's representative in the ROK, providing leadership and expertise in naval matters to improve institutional and operational effectiveness between the two navies and to strengthen collective security efforts in Korea and the region.

Flint is the "official" state gemstone of Ohio (actually, there's no such thing as "official" anything). "Flint" is sometimes used as a lithologic term by modern geologists, but it is a synonym for chert. Flint and chert are the same - they are cryptocrystalline, quartzose sedimentary rocks. Rockhounds often assert that flint is high-quality while chert is low-quality. Some geologists assert that "flint" implies a biogenic origin and "chert" implies a chemical origin.
Many cherts do have a chemical origin - chert nodules are moderately common in some limestone units. The nodules form during diagenesis - pre-existing silica components in the carbonate sediments are dissolved, mobilized, and reprecipitated as chert masses. Some cherts do have a biogenic origin - for example, radiolarian cherts (rich in radiolarian microfossils) or spicular cherts (rich in siliceous sponge spicules).
The most famous flint deposit in Ohio is Flint Ridge, in Licking County. At this locality, the Middle Pennsylvanian-aged Vanport Flint is exposed in several places. The geologic literature on the Vanport Flint is relatively sparse, with inaccurate, incomplete descriptions and characterizations. For example, the literature describes the Vanport as a sheet of flint at Flint Ridge - it's actually a meganodule horizon. Other descriptions refer to the chert as the remains of siliceous sponges. In reality, siliceous sponge spicules are quite scarce in Vanport samples.
Two graduate student projects during the 2000s, conducted at two different universities, had very different conclusions & interpretations about the origin of the Vanport Flint. A 2003 study concluded that chert at Flint Ridge is biogenic in origin. A 2006 study concluded that the chert is chemical in origin.
Modern flint knappers value the Vanport Flint for being multicolored and high-quality (= very few impurities). With artificial heating, the flint is more easily knapped into arrowheads, spear points, and other objects. Prehistoric American Indians quarried the Vanport Flint at many specific sites on Flint Ridge. Old Indian flint pits can be examined along hiking trails in Flint Ridge State Park ("State Memorial"). Many authentic Indian artifacts found in Ohio (arrowheads & spearpoints - "projectile points") are composed of Vanport Flint.
The point seen here is a modern replica, made by a knapper using material from a Roy Miller quarry on Flint Ridge. This area is famous for having greenish and/or bluish coloration, which become intensified with heating.

Seen here is a knapped spearpoint - it's a modern replica. The rock is "Burlington Chert", derived from a nodule in the limestone-dominated Burlington Formation. The chert has been heat-treated to make it more knappable. Heating can also change the colors to the light pinkish-orangish present in this specimen.

Flint-knapped arrowhead ("Coshocton Flint") from the Pennsylvanian of Ohio, USA. (~9.3 centimeters tall)
Knapper: Ernie Raber
"Flint" is the official gemstone of Ohio. Flint is actually chert (the two terms are synonymous, despite what anyone else might say), a cryptocrystalline, quartzose sedimentary rock. High-quality, colorful, multicolored, and multipatterned flint is moderately common at some Ohio localities. A couple famous flint occurrences in eastern Ohio include the Vanport Flint and the Upper Mercer Flint.
The Upper Mercer Flint is in the Pottsville Group (Lower to Middle Pennsylvanian), a marine to nonmarine, cyclothemic succession of shale, sandstone, limestone, coal, clay, and chert (flint). The Upper Mercer is a somewhat persistent marine limestone horizon that is often extensively chertified to black flint with whitish speckles (= often body fossils and fossil fragments). A dark bluish variant in the Nellie area of Coshocton County is called "Nellie Blue Flint". Flint knappers often call the Upper Mercer "Coshocton Flint".
This Upper Mercer Flint arrowhead is a modern replica made by a skilled knapper named Ernie Raber. The whitish object at right appears to be a silicified brachiopod fossil.

Mine are going to look like this one day. I already have loads of scars...perhaps a little unladylike, but I still think hard working hands have a beauty of their own.
I think John was preparing a platform here - using the pebble to grind the sharpest corners down a little and make the platform a little more solid and uniform.
A platform is a surface you make to give yourself something to aim at when it comes to hitting the flint. If the platform isn't right, you can end up breaking what you were trying to make.
My flint knapping photos were taken on a day course with John and Val Lord. They have a website here:
John has also written a book that's very useful as a beginner:
www.flintknapping.co.uk/shop.html
And John's son Will is also an expert in flint knapping and excellent teacher. He also runs courses, and will teach hide working, prehistoric jewellery making, bow-making and so forth as well.

First explanation in English. Then follows here the story in Dutch
My illustration for the short story I wrote about a clever girl - named Jin - amused about her mothers care - that sometimes imagines to be in a large flowered COOKIE JAR full of delicious cookies or in other pleasant places - maybe a garden with flowers and fruits or a fine forest or the beach - more healthy of course - during occasional periods of worried education by her mother. Smiling. Understanding her mother. See my story here. In Dutch. A bit absurd. For children? Or adults? I add here: I once knew such a girl and her mother. I felt the mother was too worried but I also saw the humor, goodnatured mischief, art of living and love of this wise little girl. (When I have time I translate this story in English and maybe make a colored drawing).
I made this long ago, c. 2002 and revised the text later.
DOEI MAM.
Vandaag heeft Jin zich comfortabel geïnstalleerd op de koekjes in de grote koektrommel. Want… Mamma gaat
opvoeden. Jin knabbelt op een spritsje en zit op een stapeltje knapperige kaneelbeschuitjes. Het ruikt heerlijk
in het blik naar kaneel en mokka en chocola. Jin snuffelt die zoete lucht eens op. Lekker! Zij heeft het deksel
van de bus op een kier na gesloten. Want…Mamma gaat opvoeden.
Mamma is voor kleuter Jin een bron van plezier. Meestal.
Stralend zit Jin in haar koekblik en beluistert de vitale ritmesessie van haar Mamma. Het gaat Jin niet zozeer
om de woorden. Niet om wat Mamma zegt. Maar: om hoe Mamma praat. Het is het RITME. Veel beter dan ‘HOUSE’…want gevarieerd. Het roffelt op de koekjestrommel.
TJAK-TJAK-TJAK-SAKKERDE-SAKKERDE-TJAK-TJAK-TJAK-SAKKERDE-SAKKERDE-JU!-TJAK-TJAK…
Als jij toch OOIT weer ZO ver over een balkonhek hangt…
Als jij toch OOIT weer ZO de weg maar oprent…ZONDER kijken…
En ondersteboven in een slappe populier gaat hangen…neem dan een sterke EIK!
En poets je TANDEN beter.
Jin straalt.
HUP…Ma, zet ‘m op.
Geef ‘m van Jetje…
TJAK-TJAK-TJAKKERDE-TJAK.
Vertel eens hoe een mens moet leven.
TAKTAKTAK-tieketieketieke-taktaktak-BATS!
Prima variant - nu een reprise - geniaal!
De beuk erin - zet ‘m op – wees vrouw en moeder!
Aan flinters die handel. Ze rijden me omver als ik de straat opren!
Maar niet heus?
Hak de boel in splinters. Bomen vallen om.
Vooral populieren.
Maar niet heus.
De draak is los.
Als ik mijn neus over een balkonhek steek.
Val ik naar beneden.
Maar niet heus.
Mamma is boos.
Mamma houdt van me.
Laat Mamma maar even uitrazen.
Het doet haar goed.
En ik zit LEKKER in mijn koekblik.
Jin rolt zich op in de trommel en krult haar tenen Nu een koekje met chocovulling. Dan een gezond havermoutkoekje.
Mamma’s woorden … gerabbeldebabbeldebabbel op het deksel van de trommel. Wat een gerommel! Wat een geroffel!
Wat een getroffel!
Andere kinderen schrikken er wel eens van. ‘ Wat doet jouw moeder boos ‘, zeggen ze. Maar het is vandaag best
leuk. Prima slagwerk. Mamma praat niet elke dag zo. Een enkele keer maar. Af en toe vindt Jin het niet grappig.
Dan gaat zij huilen en dan stopt Mamma wel.
Nu een wafeltje. En straks een koekje met sinaasappelvulling. Die kruimelkoekjes met mocca zijn ook zo lekker.
Die ruiken naar Mamma’s koffie. Ze smaken zoet en ook een klein beetje bitter. En er zitten stukjes noot op die
moccakoekjes. Ik heb toch een geinige Mamma, mijmert Jin. Er is hier zo altijd wat te doen. Breken de takken
van die populier nou echt zomaar als ik er in klim? Dat denkt Mamma. Een eik is sterker, zegt ze. Is er een eik
in de tuin? ‘Jouw Mamma is soms ongerust’, zei Oma eens. Die lachte er een beetje om.
Jin knabbelt maar door. Tot haar trek in koekjes op is. De koekjes zijn dan nog helemaal niet op. Soms mag Jin koekjes en chips eten van Mamma en Oma. Meestal zeggen ze dat Jin fruit moet eten en nootjes en zonnebloempitten en rozijnen, als ze wil snoepen. Dat is ook lekker. Maar Mamma weet niet eens dat Jin zichzelf vandaag in het koekblik getoverd heeft. Mamma denkt dat Jin aan tafel zit te luisteren.
Tenslotte is het stil. Dan is het net als na een onweer. Sereen. Dat zei Oma laatst. Heel fris en helder is de lucht na
het onweer. De zon gaat schijnen. Jin tilt het deksel van haar koekblik op. Zij gluurt voorzichtig door het
kiertje. Schijnt de zon? Is er misschien een regenboog? Stilletjes klimt zij uit haar koekjesbus. Mamma geeft
Jin een kusje.
Jin haalt diep adem. Nu is zij zo groot. Zij past nu echt niet meer in de koektrommel. Maar zodra ze dat wil…
Kan ze er weer inkruipen.
Vandaag is zoveel leuks te doen. Bomen klimmen. De hut in de tuin is nog niet af. De schommel. Het zwembad. De vriendinnetjes. Jin blijft echt niet uren in dat koekblik zitten. Om naar Mamma te luisteren.
‘Doei Mam.’

This is from the Cumming Indian Festival, I didn't get a good shot of him at Canton
A knapper is an individual who shapes flint, chert, obsidian or other stone through the process of knapping or lithic reduction, to manufacture stone tools.
Knapping is done in a variety of ways depending on the purpose of the final product. For stone tools and flintlock strikers chert is worked using a fabricator, such as a hammerstone, to remove lithic flakes from a nucleus or core of tool stone. Stone tools can then be further refined using wood, bone, and antler tools to perform pressure flaking.
Blicke Strich westwärts – Erkundungen in Texten von Rolf Dieter Brinkmann

Auf Erkundungsreise mit Rolf Dieter Brinkmann durch Rom machen Ekki, Tim und Anas dessen Wirklichkeit zu ihrer eigenen. Doch der privilegierten Kunstidylle in der Villa Massimo fehlt die menschliche Realität, und die verrückte Betriebsamkeit der Stadt lenkt ständig ab. Zu viele Eindrücke verstümmeln die Sinne. An allen Ecken bröckelt die Geschichte auf ein einzelnes Leben. Die Zumutungen des römischen Alltags werden zum Indiz für den Zustand einer Kultur, welche die Alltagspanik mit Verheißungen der Sexindustrie überkleistert.
Heiner Müller nannte Rolf Dieter Brinkmann das „einzige Genie der deutschen Nachkriegsliteratur“. Für seine poetischen, fiebrigen und wuchtigen Beschreibungen nutzte Brinkmann auch Techniken des Films: Schnitte und Montagen mit immer wieder neuen Perspektiven. BLICKE STRICH WESTWÄRTS entwickelt eine Bühnenform aus den Schreib- und Erzählmethoden des Subkultur-Avantgardisten. Schnitte und Assoziationen verbinden sich zu einem theatralen Hypertext.
„Ich habe keine andere Zeit als die Zeit, in der ich lebe, und da will ich wissen, in welchem Zustand ich lebe, in welchen Augenblicken, und was diese Augenblicke enthalten."

Blicke Strich westwärts – Erkundungen in Texten von Rolf Dieter Brinkmann
Eine Herz & Mund Produktion | Koproduktion mit dem Theater im Pumpenhaus Münster und Alte Liebe Produktionen
Do. 01.10., Sa. 03.10., So. 04.10. | jeweils 20.00 Uhr
Stauerei, Cuxhavener Str. 7 | Tickets unter 0421-700 141
Eintritt: 14,-/7,- Euro | www.schwankhalle.de
Auf Erkundungsreise mit Rolf Dieter Brinkmann durch Rom machen Ekki, Tim und Anas dessen Wirklichkeit zu ihrer eigenen. Doch der privilegierten Kunstidylle in der Villa Massimo fehlt die menschliche Realität, und die verrückte Betriebsamkeit der Stadt lenkt ständig ab. Zu viele Eindrücke verstümmeln die Sinne. An allen Ecken bröckelt die Geschichte auf ein einzelnes Leben. Die Zumutungen des römischen Alltags werden zum Indiz für den Zustand einer Kultur, welche die Alltagspanik mit Verheißungen der Sexindustrie überkleistert.
Heiner Müller nannte Rolf Dieter Brinkmann das „einzige Genie der deutschen Nachkriegsliteratur“. Für seine poetischen, fiebrigen und wuchtigen Beschreibungen nutzte Brinkmann auch Techniken des Films: Schnitte und Montagen mit immer wieder neuen Perspektiven. BLICKE STRICH WESTWÄRTS entwickelt eine Bühnenform aus den Schreib- und Erzählmethoden des Subkultur-Avantgardisten. Schnitte und Assoziationen verbinden sich zu einem theatralen Hypertext.
„Ich habe keine andere Zeit als die Zeit, in der ich lebe, und da will ich wissen, in welchem Zustand ich lebe, in welchen Augenblicken, und was diese Augenblicke enthalten."
