Gynecomastia relates to a surplus enlargement of the male mammary gland, causing the male breast similar to the female breast. This is a shameful issue for teenage boys because of their look, and what other people might say about them. Gynecomastia surgery is the best solution for the gynecomastia victims. In this surgery, the enlarged mammary gland tissue is removed.

Understanding the history of how and where species have traveled helps inform their distribution and where new outbreaks can be expected. While we focus primarily on invasive insects and diseases that affect ecologically and agriculturally important plants, our modeling efforts are "species agnostic", and the broader field of invasion science informs how our models describe fundamental demographic processes like dispersal and spread.
Kagura, a shamanic ritual of ancient Japan was performed here recently. Team Viva attended
Shinto, the ancient Japanese religion has many rites and rituals relating to sacred worship. Among them is the Kagura, a theatrical dance, performed wearing heavy, colourful costumes of animals, with demon masks and featuring graceful body movements.
It was delivered by the Iwami Kagura troupe. The whole extravaganza was divided in three parts.
The last was particularly riveting. It involved a huge bamboo and paper serpent, about 40cm in diameter and 16mts long.
Tomoharu Katsuta, director of The Japan-India Association explained, “This is a sacred dance offered to Gods and Goddess at local shrines during the autumn harvest festival. It is based on old scriptures and was begun during 1100AD, by Shinto priests. Ordinary folk began performing it from the start of the Meiji Era, from 1869-1912, using Taiko drums, hand claps and flutes.”
It originally lasted for 12 hours, beginning from 7pm. It ended by 7am. The Delhi show was organised by ICCR and supported by the Embassy of Japan.
The evening began with a section called the Jin-rin, named after a demon, represented with a big mask. It was followed by Ebisu, the of fishing and Orochi, the name of a giant serpent. “According to myth, Jin-rinwas a winged demon king who flew all over Japan and killed people.” Later, King Chuai, second son of Emperor Yamato Takeru decided to kill the Jin-rin. The second piece featured Ebisu and Daikoku, God of wealth and prosperity. This is usually performed at weddings and auspicious ceremonies.
Orochi’s story involves an old couple and their daughter. The serpent would take the girls away and kill them. The couple was saved by the hero, Susano no Mikoto, who was exiled from the Heaven called Takamagahara. He asked the couples to make eight barrels of strong sake (rice wine), because the Orochi serpent had eight heads and eight tails. And its length swept over eight mountains and eight valleys.
“Mikoto succeeded in killing the monster while it was drunk and sleeping. Since then, sake is used to be drink in the weddings,” explained Tomoharu Katsuta.
He added, “This traditional dance form is used as a tool for Japans’ cultural exchange activities. It includes the Orochi (giant evil Serpent) episode, which received acclaim for its scale and dynamic movement. And the Iwami Kagura is a source of pride for locals. However, the big masks used, with their small eyes, create problem for performers vision. And the heavy costumes weigh over 20kgs, with gold and silver threads, plus glass beads.” Carrying the heavy serpent is also a tough job.

I was inspired to make this art piece because I wanted to address the concept of being judged unfairly, I also wanted to relate this to the idea of not perceiving things with a negative outlook, but to seek deeper to find something positive. When developing this project, I wanted the girl to stand out more than the background so that she would be the first thing that people will evaluate when they look at this piece. The girl with the dragon tattoo looks quite intimidating at first because she has this harsh, somewhat depressing vibe and I thought that would make her perfect for the concept of this project. She represents the negativity being placed on people when they are being unfairly judged by others. To achieve this harsh, depressing look, I used very hard, tight lines, I didn't use a lot of colours, it was mainly black, she also has a lot of tactile texture, the acrylic paint gives her that rough surface, while the pen and pencil give her that smooth surface so you can physically touch her. When focusing on the background, the watercolour seems quite flat-looking, it has more of a visual texture, it touches you mentally. I wanted to create a very loose, cheerful look, using vibrant and pure colors to represent the positively that can be released from someone who appears to have a negative impression. I chose to give the girl a more tactile feel because people tend to focus more on a person’s physical features rather than the actual person.

Costs relating to transfer of business:
Several attendances upon you, and upon Mr W A and W H Stokes discussing terms of transfer of business in detail, including consideration of the question of income tax etc. by way of instructions for preparation of necessary deed between yourself and Messrs' W A and W H Stokes.
The introduction to a long and involved invoice to transfer the business of Stokes & Sons from my great grandfather H J Stokes to his two youngest sons Wilfrid Arthur (my grandfather) and Walter Henry the youngest. At this time HJ's four other (surviving) children had all moved away from Bridgend, three to Wanstead area and one to Canada. It would appear that all my grandfather's sibling were agreeable to the transfer, or at least tolerated it.
The trouble started when my grandfather bought his brother's share of the business leaving him as sole proprietor; his other siblings, at least the ones in this country, also then wanted a piece of the action and demanded their share of the business which was fought legally. As a consequence of this my grandfather suffered a nervous breakdown which lasted for the rest of his life. Nowadays this depression would be easily treatable, but my poor grandfather spent many a long while in a "Nursing Home". My grandmother, who was besotted with my grandfather, spent her life writing to him, and he to her, the majority of those letters remain in the family archive.
The business carried on with the help of a manager until my father became old enough to take over the reins. A formal partnership between my grandmother and my father was arranged upon the death of my grandfather in 1954 and this was amended in the late 1960s when my grandmother handed the business over to my father. The business continued until 1980 when the 125 year lease was due for renewal and the landowners decided not to continue the lease under the existing arrangements whereby increases were indexed according to the cost of living. Suddenly my father realised he was faced with the prospect of not being able to afford the substantial increase the Dunraven Estates were suggesting so he sold the remaining five years of the lease, retiring in 1980.
The premises still trade in the clothing profession as it has done since 1850, only nowadays Ladies fashions are sold.
Dundalk overwhelm Bangor in All Ireland Final
by Roger Corbett
Bangor’s amazing run in the All Ireland Junior Cup came to an abrupt end when they were comprehensively beaten by Dundalk, eventually losing by 55-5.
Where do you start when trying to relate and absorb the events of Saturday’s final at Chambers Park? Firstly, congratulations to worthy winners Dundalk who nullified the Bangor attack, then went on to produce some stunning plays which racked up no less than 8 tries, each by a different player. For Bangor’s part, they were unable to respond to the intensity of Dundalk’s game, and lacked the cutting edge which their opponents used to great effect.
The day started full of promise, as the strong support from North Down made their way to Chambers Park in Portadown, knowing Bangor would be fielding their best team. Once again, the pundits had Bangor as the underdogs – just as they had done so in the previous three rounds! In confounding the experts earlier, Bangor produced some awesome performances against top quality opposition to get to the final. Dundalk had produced some convincing wins in the early rounds of the competition, but had struggled to get past CIYMS in the semi-final, just managing to squeeze ahead at the second time of asking. However, with a number of key players returning to the side in time for this game, they were now back at full strength and would be a formidable force to contend with.
Having won the toss, captain Jamie Clegg elected to play into the stiff wind in the first half. For the first 5 minutes, Bangor doggedly retained possession and tried to play their way into Dundalk’s half through a series of determined forward moves. However, little ground was made and, when possession was finally lost, the Dundalk back line produced a burst that simply cut through the Bangor defence resulting in an easy touch down under Bangor’s posts for a 7-0 lead.
Bangor stuck to their plan and slowly, but patiently, got their attack moving forward, eventually winning a penalty to the left of Dundalk’s posts, but Mark Widdowson’s kick into the wind drifted just wide of the mark.
The contrast in play between the two teams was becoming clear, with Bangor trying to keep the ball close while Dundalk were throwing it wide. The latter strategy was proving to be the more effective as, with 20 minutes gone, a quick back line move with players looping around resulted in an overlap on the right wing which gave a clear run in to again, score under the posts. A further 9 minutes later, they did it again and, although the Bangor defence had sensed the danger and moved across to cover it, their tackling let them down allowing Dundalk to get over in the right hand corner, taking their lead to 19-0.
By now, Bangor were trying to hang on until half time when they could regroup and come out with the wind at their backs. Dundalk, on the other hand were anxious to press home their advantage and give them a more comfortable lead. To Bangor’s credit, although camped on their own line for lengthy spells, they dug in and managed to hold on until the referee’s half time whistle.
As the teams reappeared from the dressing rooms, it was obvious Bangor were ringing the changes, particularly in the backs. With the wind advantage having lessened considerably, Bangor got the second half underway. It was now Dundalk’s turn to adopt the slow, steady approach, just as Bangor had done earlier. However, their more confident off-loading and support play was, once again, taking play deep into Bangor’s territory. Frustration at not being able to gain possession and take play out of their danger area eventually resulted in a yellow card for Clegg after a succession of penalties. Dundalk kicked the penalty to touch, won their lineout and drove for the line. Although initially held up by the Bangor defence, Dundalk’s repeated drives were eventually rewarded with another converted score, extending their lead to 26-0.
From the touchline, the Bangor faithful had felt that if their players had managed to score first in the second half, they may have been able to mount a fight-back and close the gap to their opponents. As it was, this Dundalk score simply bolstered their confidence and pushed Bangor deeper into trouble. With Bangor still a man down, Dundalk added to the score with a penalty and then another score in the corner. Everything was now working for the Leinster men, as even the difficult touchline conversion into the biting wind successfully split the posts, bringing the score to 36-0.
As the game entered the final quarter, and with Dundalk all but holding the cup, Bangor were now on the ropes. By contrast, the Dundalk players were in almost total control, and were not going to slow down now. In a 10 minute spell, they ran in a further 3 tries, making the scoreline 55-0. By now, any sense of dejection the Bangor supporters may have been feeling was now moved to feelings of sympathy for their players. However, pride was at stake and once again Bangor rallied as the game entered its final minutes. At last, the forwards got within striking distance of the Dundalk line and, although their repeated attacks were repelled, they finally managed to do what their opponents had done so effectively, and quickly passed the ball wide to Davy Charles. Even though they were 55 points ahead, the Dundalk defence made Charles work hard to drive through the tackles and score Bangor’s consolation try, bringing the final score to 55-5.
From Bangor’s point of view, the final score doesn’t tell the whole story of this competition. While the final may have resulted in a sad anti-climax for Bangor, the remarkable journey to get there will be remembered for some time. On the day, Dundalk were by far the better side, and Bangor would have to concede that their game was not up to the usual standard. However, there is no doubt the experience of competing at this level is something to relish and the goal now will be to secure a top four place in the league and try again next year.
Everybody at the club has nothing but the highest respect and praise for what has been achieved this year by not just the 1sts, but all the senior teams, and one poor result isn’t going to change that – the welcome at Upritchard Park for the returning players is testament to that. With that in mind, the players now need to put this disappointment behind them and provide the best possible response against a struggling Portadown side at home in the league next Saturday.

In front of a big crowd at Chambers Park on Saturday afternoon Dundalk delivered a stunning and ruthless display to see off the challenge of Bangor and capture the All Ireland Junior Cup title for the very first time.
Three first half tries had them firmly in control at 19-0 ahead having played with the elements at the Portadown venue during the first half and while the wind dropped somewhat after half time the Dundalk intensity most certainly didn’t as they cut loose scoring five more tries.
Dundalk returned to a heroes welcome at their Mill Road clubhouse on Saturday night after a display of pure brilliance throughout the afternoon.
Precision, pace and skill from the Louth men from start to finish left Bangor playing second fiddle for long periods.
This document relates to an article on the ugly side of food Eugenics...
"In 2002, the Rockefellers funded a nonprofit organic farm and education center at a converted family estate designed to serve an organic restaurant in NYC. David Rockefeller offered, ''If the restaurant is as good as I hope it will be, it would be quite a great temptation to go there often -- even though we have quite a good cook at home.''[6] So, I guess that implies his family supports organic foods close to home. However, in 2006, the Rockefellers began heavily promoting harmful genetically engineered agriculture for other people's use. The Rockefeller Foundation and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation announced a joint. $150 million Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA).[7]

Allow me to relate to you a tale of obsession and
thwarted yearning, of loss and redemption.
I am a lover of the weird, the ancient, the difficult to find. I
believe that my pestering was directly responsible for New Seasons
selling citrons this year (I have asked about them every single winter
for the past 6 years). So for some time now, I have been harboring a
yen for cardoons. Yes, cardoons, the ancestor of today's artichoke,
and also a favorite vegetable of my favorite chef in all the world
(Clarissa Dickson Wright of Two Fat Ladies fame, who labored so
industriously to raise the popularity of the cardoon in Britain that
she was known as "the cardoon lady"). But I have been thwarted at
every turn! Never have I found anyone actually selling cardoons! Oh,
I've heard rumors, but they never seemed to pan out.
Until yesterday.
A booth at the farmers market had them, great big scary stalks with
little tiny artichoke-like flowers on them. Not quite what I was
expecting, but when I get it into my head to eat something there is
very little that can stop me. Maybe that's not such a good thing.
Here are some things that I have learned since this fateful moment at
the market: 1) If the person working at the booth says "Well, mostly
people buy them for decoration" when you ask them if the proffered
item is edible, that is a bad sign; 2) If an item is exuding a sap so
bitter that when you inadvertently get a tiny bit on your lips you
spend the next 15 minutes frantically trying to clean it off, that is
a bad sign; and 3) If all of the pictures you have ever seen of the
food you want to eat look nothing like the food you have in your hand,
that is a bad sign. But I have also learned that if you are really
committed to eating something in the face of all of the preceding and
the very good advice of your significant other, lessons learned from
historical cooking will come to your aid, and often the results are
worth the struggle.
I spent a long time on the internet reading all about cardoons, and
the everything I found stated that they are actually a winter
vegetable, and that they are best to eat after they have been blanched
by being kept out of the sun for some time. Otherwise, they are
horrifically bitter. Whoops. But then I wondered, did the ancient
Romans do this to their cardoons? And how could the first person to
eat a cardoon have done so? So I decided to try my big scary cardoon
anyway.
When I brought it home yesterday, I cut it into pieces and soaked them
in acidulated water while I figured out what to do with the thing.
Today I broke the stem up further, removed all of the leaves, and
carefully peeled all of the tough fibers away from the tender core.
The food to waste ratio put even fresh fava beans to shame! One thing
that I have learned from reading medieval recipes is great technique
for removing bitterness from greens: parboiling. So I put my tiny
cardoon bits into boiling salted water, cooked them for ten minutes,
drained them and tasted them: hey, they're actually pretty good! There
was still a little bit of bitterness, so I boiled them in new water
for a few more minutes, then drained them. Apicius says that boiled
cardoons should be served with "pepper, cumin, broth, and oil"
(http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Apicius/3*.html),
so I dressed mine with olive oil, pepper, and a little flake salt.
And you know what? They turned out pretty dang good. They taste much
of artichokes, and sweet more than bitter. I don't know if I would do
this again, but it was a fun adventure.

Jednog je dana mladić otišao u Šumu Striborovu, ali nije znao da je šuma začarana i da sve čarolije stanuju ondje. Neke čarolije su bile dobre, a neke ne – svakome po zasluzi. Šuma će ostati začarana dok u nju ne uđe netko kome je draža njegova nevolja, nego sva sreća svijeta.
2.okvir:(...) ovo nije bila prava zmija, već ljudsko biće pretvoreno u nju zbog svojih grijeha koje se moglo osloboditi jedino tako da je netko oženi.

4.okvir:(...) Požurila je i nabrzinu se iz zmije pretvorila u najljepšu djevojku na svijetu.
Evo me! Odvedi me kući i oženi!
5.okvir:(...) I tako ju je odveo kući.
Izabrao si lijepu ženu sine, samo pazi, mogla bi biti zmija.
Kako je majka mogla znati da je bila zmija? Sigurno mi je majka vještica.
6.okvir:(...) Jednog je dana snaha poslala baku na vrh planine kako i donese joj snijega kako bi se umila.
7.okvir:(...) Idućeg dana snaha je tražila drugu uslugu.

Led će popustiti i nestat ću u jezeru.
Riba će biti zadovoljna ako odeš s njom.
8.okvir:(...) Trećeg dana majka je sjela kraj vatre i krenula krpati sinovu košulju.

9.okvir:O, Bože, pomozi mi!
10.okvir:Hoćete li kupiti triješće za potpalu vatre, majko?

(...)i starica je ispričala Tintilinićima što se dogodilo.
13.okvirBum!
Ja ću ti pomoći! Otići ću u sunčanu zemlju i donijeti svračja jaja. Stavit ćemo ih pod kokoš nesilicu i kad se svračići izlegnu tvoja će se snaha izdati. Polakomit će se za svračićima kao obična šumska zmija i isplaziti jezik.

Ne pričaj gluposti, stara ženo! Kako bi znala za sina? On će ostati u sadašnjosti, a ti ćeš se vratiti u prošlost. Nećeš znati ništa o njemu!
27.okvirHvala, dragi gospodaru, za sve usluge koje mi nudiš. Ali radije bih ostala u svojoj nevolji i znala da imam sina, nego nego da mi daš sva bogatstva i sreću svijeta, a ja zaboravim na sina.
(...) bio je to kraj čaroliji u Šumi Striborovoj , jer je majka odabrala svoju nevolju pred svim radostima svijeta.
28.okvir(...) Cijela se šuma stresla, zemlja propala, i sve potonulo. Stribor i Tintilinići su nestali, snaha se pretvorila u zmiju i otpuzala u rupu, a majka i sin ostali sami u središtu šume.
29.okvir(...) Kasnije je mladić oženio ubogu djevojku koja je dovela Tintiliniće u njihovu kuću. Svo troje žive sretno do današnjeg dana.

Dundalk overwhelm Bangor in All Ireland Final
by Roger Corbett
Bangor’s amazing run in the All Ireland Junior Cup came to an abrupt end when they were comprehensively beaten by Dundalk, eventually losing by 55-5.
Where do you start when trying to relate and absorb the events of Saturday’s final at Chambers Park? Firstly, congratulations to worthy winners Dundalk who nullified the Bangor attack, then went on to produce some stunning plays which racked up no less than 8 tries, each by a different player. For Bangor’s part, they were unable to respond to the intensity of Dundalk’s game, and lacked the cutting edge which their opponents used to great effect.
The day started full of promise, as the strong support from North Down made their way to Chambers Park in Portadown, knowing Bangor would be fielding their best team. Once again, the pundits had Bangor as the underdogs – just as they had done so in the previous three rounds! In confounding the experts earlier, Bangor produced some awesome performances against top quality opposition to get to the final. Dundalk had produced some convincing wins in the early rounds of the competition, but had struggled to get past CIYMS in the semi-final, just managing to squeeze ahead at the second time of asking. However, with a number of key players returning to the side in time for this game, they were now back at full strength and would be a formidable force to contend with.
Having won the toss, captain Jamie Clegg elected to play into the stiff wind in the first half. For the first 5 minutes, Bangor doggedly retained possession and tried to play their way into Dundalk’s half through a series of determined forward moves. However, little ground was made and, when possession was finally lost, the Dundalk back line produced a burst that simply cut through the Bangor defence resulting in an easy touch down under Bangor’s posts for a 7-0 lead.
Bangor stuck to their plan and slowly, but patiently, got their attack moving forward, eventually winning a penalty to the left of Dundalk’s posts, but Mark Widdowson’s kick into the wind drifted just wide of the mark.
The contrast in play between the two teams was becoming clear, with Bangor trying to keep the ball close while Dundalk were throwing it wide. The latter strategy was proving to be the more effective as, with 20 minutes gone, a quick back line move with players looping around resulted in an overlap on the right wing which gave a clear run in to again, score under the posts. A further 9 minutes later, they did it again and, although the Bangor defence had sensed the danger and moved across to cover it, their tackling let them down allowing Dundalk to get over in the right hand corner, taking their lead to 19-0.
By now, Bangor were trying to hang on until half time when they could regroup and come out with the wind at their backs. Dundalk, on the other hand were anxious to press home their advantage and give them a more comfortable lead. To Bangor’s credit, although camped on their own line for lengthy spells, they dug in and managed to hold on until the referee’s half time whistle.
As the teams reappeared from the dressing rooms, it was obvious Bangor were ringing the changes, particularly in the backs. With the wind advantage having lessened considerably, Bangor got the second half underway. It was now Dundalk’s turn to adopt the slow, steady approach, just as Bangor had done earlier. However, their more confident off-loading and support play was, once again, taking play deep into Bangor’s territory. Frustration at not being able to gain possession and take play out of their danger area eventually resulted in a yellow card for Clegg after a succession of penalties. Dundalk kicked the penalty to touch, won their lineout and drove for the line. Although initially held up by the Bangor defence, Dundalk’s repeated drives were eventually rewarded with another converted score, extending their lead to 26-0.
From the touchline, the Bangor faithful had felt that if their players had managed to score first in the second half, they may have been able to mount a fight-back and close the gap to their opponents. As it was, this Dundalk score simply bolstered their confidence and pushed Bangor deeper into trouble. With Bangor still a man down, Dundalk added to the score with a penalty and then another score in the corner. Everything was now working for the Leinster men, as even the difficult touchline conversion into the biting wind successfully split the posts, bringing the score to 36-0.
As the game entered the final quarter, and with Dundalk all but holding the cup, Bangor were now on the ropes. By contrast, the Dundalk players were in almost total control, and were not going to slow down now. In a 10 minute spell, they ran in a further 3 tries, making the scoreline 55-0. By now, any sense of dejection the Bangor supporters may have been feeling was now moved to feelings of sympathy for their players. However, pride was at stake and once again Bangor rallied as the game entered its final minutes. At last, the forwards got within striking distance of the Dundalk line and, although their repeated attacks were repelled, they finally managed to do what their opponents had done so effectively, and quickly passed the ball wide to Davy Charles. Even though they were 55 points ahead, the Dundalk defence made Charles work hard to drive through the tackles and score Bangor’s consolation try, bringing the final score to 55-5.
From Bangor’s point of view, the final score doesn’t tell the whole story of this competition. While the final may have resulted in a sad anti-climax for Bangor, the remarkable journey to get there will be remembered for some time. On the day, Dundalk were by far the better side, and Bangor would have to concede that their game was not up to the usual standard. However, there is no doubt the experience of competing at this level is something to relish and the goal now will be to secure a top four place in the league and try again next year.
Everybody at the club has nothing but the highest respect and praise for what has been achieved this year by not just the 1sts, but all the senior teams, and one poor result isn’t going to change that – the welcome at Upritchard Park for the returning players is testament to that. With that in mind, the players now need to put this disappointment behind them and provide the best possible response against a struggling Portadown side at home in the league next Saturday.

In front of a big crowd at Chambers Park on Saturday afternoon Dundalk delivered a stunning and ruthless display to see off the challenge of Bangor and capture the All Ireland Junior Cup title for the very first time.
Three first half tries had them firmly in control at 19-0 ahead having played with the elements at the Portadown venue during the first half and while the wind dropped somewhat after half time the Dundalk intensity most certainly didn’t as they cut loose scoring five more tries.
Dundalk returned to a heroes welcome at their Mill Road clubhouse on Saturday night after a display of pure brilliance throughout the afternoon.
Precision, pace and skill from the Louth men from start to finish left Bangor playing second fiddle for long periods.

Plutarch relates that the Sabine tribe were invited to games in Rome; at a given signal from their king, Romulus, the Romans carried off the women. The background shows the later episode when the Sabines attacked the Romans and were defeated. The Romans and Sabines fight in the background beyond the rail that separates the audience from the games. The abduction is set before classical architecture, but the women wear 17th-century Flemish dress.

Kinetic: Relating to, caused by, or producing motion.
These are called “Kinetic” photographs because there is motion, energy, and movement involved, specifically my and the camera’s movements.
Most of these are shot outdoors where I have the room to literally spin and throw my little camera several feet up into the air, with some throws going as high as 15 feet or more!
None of these are Photoshopped, layered, or a composite photo...what you see occurs in one shot, one take.
Aren’t I afraid that I will drop and break my camera? For regular followers of my photostream and this series you will know that I have already done so. This little camera has been dropped many times, and broken once when dropped on concrete outside. It still functions...not so well for regular photographs, but superbly for more kinetic work.

Dundalk overwhelm Bangor in All Ireland Final
by Roger Corbett
Bangor’s amazing run in the All Ireland Junior Cup came to an abrupt end when they were comprehensively beaten by Dundalk, eventually losing by 55-5.
Where do you start when trying to relate and absorb the events of Saturday’s final at Chambers Park? Firstly, congratulations to worthy winners Dundalk who nullified the Bangor attack, then went on to produce some stunning plays which racked up no less than 8 tries, each by a different player. For Bangor’s part, they were unable to respond to the intensity of Dundalk’s game, and lacked the cutting edge which their opponents used to great effect.
The day started full of promise, as the strong support from North Down made their way to Chambers Park in Portadown, knowing Bangor would be fielding their best team. Once again, the pundits had Bangor as the underdogs – just as they had done so in the previous three rounds! In confounding the experts earlier, Bangor produced some awesome performances against top quality opposition to get to the final. Dundalk had produced some convincing wins in the early rounds of the competition, but had struggled to get past CIYMS in the semi-final, just managing to squeeze ahead at the second time of asking. However, with a number of key players returning to the side in time for this game, they were now back at full strength and would be a formidable force to contend with.
Having won the toss, captain Jamie Clegg elected to play into the stiff wind in the first half. For the first 5 minutes, Bangor doggedly retained possession and tried to play their way into Dundalk’s half through a series of determined forward moves. However, little ground was made and, when possession was finally lost, the Dundalk back line produced a burst that simply cut through the Bangor defence resulting in an easy touch down under Bangor’s posts for a 7-0 lead.
Bangor stuck to their plan and slowly, but patiently, got their attack moving forward, eventually winning a penalty to the left of Dundalk’s posts, but Mark Widdowson’s kick into the wind drifted just wide of the mark.
The contrast in play between the two teams was becoming clear, with Bangor trying to keep the ball close while Dundalk were throwing it wide. The latter strategy was proving to be the more effective as, with 20 minutes gone, a quick back line move with players looping around resulted in an overlap on the right wing which gave a clear run in to again, score under the posts. A further 9 minutes later, they did it again and, although the Bangor defence had sensed the danger and moved across to cover it, their tackling let them down allowing Dundalk to get over in the right hand corner, taking their lead to 19-0.
By now, Bangor were trying to hang on until half time when they could regroup and come out with the wind at their backs. Dundalk, on the other hand were anxious to press home their advantage and give them a more comfortable lead. To Bangor’s credit, although camped on their own line for lengthy spells, they dug in and managed to hold on until the referee’s half time whistle.
As the teams reappeared from the dressing rooms, it was obvious Bangor were ringing the changes, particularly in the backs. With the wind advantage having lessened considerably, Bangor got the second half underway. It was now Dundalk’s turn to adopt the slow, steady approach, just as Bangor had done earlier. However, their more confident off-loading and support play was, once again, taking play deep into Bangor’s territory. Frustration at not being able to gain possession and take play out of their danger area eventually resulted in a yellow card for Clegg after a succession of penalties. Dundalk kicked the penalty to touch, won their lineout and drove for the line. Although initially held up by the Bangor defence, Dundalk’s repeated drives were eventually rewarded with another converted score, extending their lead to 26-0.
From the touchline, the Bangor faithful had felt that if their players had managed to score first in the second half, they may have been able to mount a fight-back and close the gap to their opponents. As it was, this Dundalk score simply bolstered their confidence and pushed Bangor deeper into trouble. With Bangor still a man down, Dundalk added to the score with a penalty and then another score in the corner. Everything was now working for the Leinster men, as even the difficult touchline conversion into the biting wind successfully split the posts, bringing the score to 36-0.
As the game entered the final quarter, and with Dundalk all but holding the cup, Bangor were now on the ropes. By contrast, the Dundalk players were in almost total control, and were not going to slow down now. In a 10 minute spell, they ran in a further 3 tries, making the scoreline 55-0. By now, any sense of dejection the Bangor supporters may have been feeling was now moved to feelings of sympathy for their players.

Further Notes:
History: George Kay taught typography at Heriot Watt College, Chambers Street, Edinburgh.
Prior to industrialisation print apprentices served their time in-house learning from their trade from trained journeymen. However, the introduction of new machinery led to a demand for more than on the job training. This was first discussed in Edinburgh at a meeting of technical education in 1873 when William Chambers advocated the inclusion of a printing school.
In 1887 the first trades courses were held at Heriot Watt College in Chambers Street, Edinburgh. In 1908 extra rooms at Chambers Street were given over to print rooms and the centre of the print school emerged. 1918 -1919 saw the beginning of a once a week day release classes at Heriot Watt under the Education (Scotland) Act. This was not supported and their establishment only lasted two years.
It was not until the establishment of the apprentice training committee in 1928 that Heriot Watt College was formally set up as a printing school. The apprentice training committee brought forward a method to assist employers in the selection of potential emplyees ensuring that the apprentice entered into the industry with the necessary educational achievements. This scheme was operated by the Scottish Print Employers Federation.
The Industry Training Act of 1964 took the formalisation of industrial training away from the employer and transfered it to an industry wide training board. When Napier College opened in 1964 the responsibility for print education in Scotland was transfered across from Heriot Watt. Heriot Watt was moving away from technical college provision and was soon to gain University status. Napier became the leading technical college for the trades and offered print education to Honours degree level.
The establishment of the Printing and Publishing Industry Training Board (PPITB) in 1968 led to a general policy on print education provision. The PPITB introduced day release / block release classes to all apprentices allowing them to attain a nationally validated certificate. These certificates were awarded by the City & Guilds Institute until the 1980s and the introduction of SCOTVEC.

Estate Collections often contain material relating to other properties, and this is no exception. This image shows the first page of an inventory of the effects of Sir Henry Ingram, 1st Viscount Irvine (1641-1666), a title created by the Peerage of Scotland. His mother was Eleanor Slingsby, a cousin of the Slingsbys who held the Manor of Kippax and were related to the Graham’s through marriage.
The inventory, taken after Sir Henry’s death in August 1666, at Temple Newsam, is a twenty page document and shows, room by room, what was held therein. As you can see from the first page here, the ‘best chamber over the kitching’, being used as a bed chamber, is richly furnished with tapestries, carpets, quilts, blankets and fabrics such as dimothy (dimity), sarcenett (sarsenet), damask and velvet, plus serge and worstead for the items requiring heavier use.
The trusted appraisers comprised Sir John Lewis (1615-1671) of Ledstone (8 miles SE of Temple Newsam) who had acquired his large fortune from trading in Persia and India and had been invested as a Knight at The Hague, in 1660. He was created a Baronet later that same year and held several manors in Yorkshire.
Henry Bethell (c.1606-1668) had held several Offices within Yorkshire and was MP for Knaresborough in 1660. He was the son of Mary Slingsby, sister to Eleanor Slingsby and therefore, a cousin of Sir Henry Ingram.
Finally, William Marwood, not to be confused with a nineteenth century hangman of the same name! This William Marwood was brother-in-law to Henry Bethell mentioned above, whose sister Frances had married William’s brother George, a Sherriff of York.

Here is a revised inside... simplified the background and made it interact with the other elements a little. Thoughts? Gone to press for this week, but I still have chances to edit for the next week of the series (in about 3 weeks).
The original and front of the bulletin is here.
A Textbook of Pathology is designed for students following a diagnostic or primary health care profession and has been written specifically for health science students. By relating pathology to disease processes, changes in the body, and signs and symptoms, students can build an understanding of the cause of disease as it presents in the clinical setting. Covering general and systemic pathology, the author takes a practical look at the investigation of disease, and brings an innovative approach to the study of pathology. A review of basic anatomy and physiology at the beginning of each chapter provides an excellent preparation to the related pathology, and the study of pathophysiological processes help the reader to bridge the gap between the structural and functional changes that occur in disease. The exploration of clinical features of key conditions allows the student to relate the condition and its underlying pathology to the living patient, while the inclusion of pathology test results and symptomatology tables assist in the assessment and interpretation of data for diagnosis and provide a contextual link to the study of disease that helps students understand the relevance of pathology to their health profession. Students can also enhance their learning experience and test their understanding through an engaging and comprehensive electronic learning resource that supports the text.
This book is being written to replace Pathology for the Health Sciences (1994) published by Macmillan Education. This book describes scientifically the nature of disease, looking at its causes and its effects. Characteristics of disease such as tissue changes, organ dysfunction and whole body effects are contrasted with signs and symptoms in the patient.
It is this which makes the book relevant for students following a diagnostic or primary health care practitioner profession. It gives important information of disease processes, changes in the body, diagnosis, symptoms and signs, treatment and prognosis of disease. The author looks at disease from a clinical perspective and its usefulness to the student is increased by the practical approach it takes to investigation of disease, whether it be in a diagnostic, clinical or treatment discipline.

The City of Wolf Point website relates the story of James Cusker and Rolla Cusker, who broke though the ice in February, 1926, while returning home from a basketball game. With the ferry service suspended for the winter, many folks drove across the frozen ice of the Missouri River. The problem is that the river is fast flowing and has unpredictable currents. The ice was strong enough for the two men to drive across earlier in the evening, but on their way home, they hit an open spot despite retracing their earlier tracks. Their bodies were not found for several days.
The Cusker family tragedy spurred the local officials into asking that a highway and bridge be considered as part of the new US highway system that was being formed. Several counties and local cities supported this plan, and the state agreed in October of 1926. The bridge was started shortly afterward, funded half by the State of Montana, and half by matching funds from the federal government. The bridge was completed and a huge dedication ceremony was held on July 9, 1930.
The bridge was situated high above the river since the US Army Corps of Engineers considered the Missouri River to be navigable at that time. Two large concrete piers were built on each side of the river channel, and a 400 foot main through truss span was erected across the river. The main span is flaked by a slightly shorter though truss span on each side. Short segments of steel girders connect the outer truss spans to the bridge abutments, which are built built on fill some 20 feet above ground level. When completed, this was a very imposing structure that sat up tall, occupying is place across the river with pride. The bridge lived up to its billing as the most massive bridge in the state of Montana.
All things do come to an end. Wider and heavier traffic and increased maintenance costs lead to the Lewis & Clark Bridge becoming obsolete. The state built a new river bridge just west of the old bridge in 1997 and 1998. The old bridge now has a second life as a state historical site. The bridge was deeded to the Montana Historical Society, who plans to maintain the bridge as a monument. They also operate a small park and interpretive display at the south end of the bridge. The bridge was also added to the National Register of Historic Places. While the bridge remains closed as of 2007, the historical society is working to develop a plan to make the bridge safe for pedestrian users. That would be a site to see

This image relates to my previous pictures in this album because this is the event that will later on lead to teen pregnancy if the couple does not use a condom in the process. This depicts that teens are ignorant to the possible consequences to unprotected sex and the steps they need to take to prevent unwanted pregnancy. I decided to use this as a concept because I want to show that preventing unwanted pregnancies is easy if you follow the smart and safe steps. My research project would be about the preventative measures couples can take when it comes to sex but simply look over in their ignorance. Overall, I am happy with this topic and the only thing I would hard a little more on to improve for a final project would be the picture, just to make it more professional done and not as sloppy as this beginning stages picture.
On this year of the 70th anniversary of the 425 Alouette Squadron, here is André Valiquette and Richard Girouard book launch
JE TE PLUMERAI
425 Alouette Squadron
Defending freedom since 1942
“A unique 248-page bilingual book including never-before published photos and documents, relating 425 Alouette Squadron History” (Book back cover)
“425 Squadron is formed on June 22nd 1942. […] What is unique and innovative about this new squadron is that for the first time in the annals of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), the majority of the unit will be made of Canadian aviators of French descent. They will be not only from the Province of Quebec, but also from other francophone areas around the country.” (page 10)
“This book tells the stories of the squadron’s operational World War II missions flying Vickers Wellington, Handley-Page Halifax and Avro Lancasters bombers in England; the 1950’s all weather years flying the Avro Canada CF-100 Canuck interceptor at RCAF Station St. Hubert (QC); the move to McDonnell Dougas CF-101 Voodoo supersonic interceptor in 1961 flying at RCAF Stations Namao (AB) and Bagotville (QC), and the operational service with the McDonnell Douglas CF-18 Hornet multi-role fighter since 1984 at CFB Bagotville (QC).” (Book back cover)

Dundalk overwhelm Bangor in All Ireland Final
by Roger Corbett
Bangor’s amazing run in the All Ireland Junior Cup came to an abrupt end when they were comprehensively beaten by Dundalk, eventually losing by 55-5.
Where do you start when trying to relate and absorb the events of Saturday’s final at Chambers Park? Firstly, congratulations to worthy winners Dundalk who nullified the Bangor attack, then went on to produce some stunning plays which racked up no less than 8 tries, each by a different player. For Bangor’s part, they were unable to respond to the intensity of Dundalk’s game, and lacked the cutting edge which their opponents used to great effect.
The day started full of promise, as the strong support from North Down made their way to Chambers Park in Portadown, knowing Bangor would be fielding their best team. Once again, the pundits had Bangor as the underdogs – just as they had done so in the previous three rounds! In confounding the experts earlier, Bangor produced some awesome performances against top quality opposition to get to the final. Dundalk had produced some convincing wins in the early rounds of the competition, but had struggled to get past CIYMS in the semi-final, just managing to squeeze ahead at the second time of asking. However, with a number of key players returning to the side in time for this game, they were now back at full strength and would be a formidable force to contend with.
Having won the toss, captain Jamie Clegg elected to play into the stiff wind in the first half. For the first 5 minutes, Bangor doggedly retained possession and tried to play their way into Dundalk’s half through a series of determined forward moves. However, little ground was made and, when possession was finally lost, the Dundalk back line produced a burst that simply cut through the Bangor defence resulting in an easy touch down under Bangor’s posts for a 7-0 lead.
Bangor stuck to their plan and slowly, but patiently, got their attack moving forward, eventually winning a penalty to the left of Dundalk’s posts, but Mark Widdowson’s kick into the wind drifted just wide of the mark.
The contrast in play between the two teams was becoming clear, with Bangor trying to keep the ball close while Dundalk were throwing it wide. The latter strategy was proving to be the more effective as, with 20 minutes gone, a quick back line move with players looping around resulted in an overlap on the right wing which gave a clear run in to again, score under the posts. A further 9 minutes later, they did it again and, although the Bangor defence had sensed the danger and moved across to cover it, their tackling let them down allowing Dundalk to get over in the right hand corner, taking their lead to 19-0.
By now, Bangor were trying to hang on until half time when they could regroup and come out with the wind at their backs. Dundalk, on the other hand were anxious to press home their advantage and give them a more comfortable lead. To Bangor’s credit, although camped on their own line for lengthy spells, they dug in and managed to hold on until the referee’s half time whistle.
As the teams reappeared from the dressing rooms, it was obvious Bangor were ringing the changes, particularly in the backs. With the wind advantage having lessened considerably, Bangor got the second half underway. It was now Dundalk’s turn to adopt the slow, steady approach, just as Bangor had done earlier. However, their more confident off-loading and support play was, once again, taking play deep into Bangor’s territory. Frustration at not being able to gain possession and take play out of their danger area eventually resulted in a yellow card for Clegg after a succession of penalties. Dundalk kicked the penalty to touch, won their lineout and drove for the line. Although initially held up by the Bangor defence, Dundalk’s repeated drives were eventually rewarded with another converted score, extending their lead to 26-0.
From the touchline, the Bangor faithful had felt that if their players had managed to score first in the second half, they may have been able to mount a fight-back and close the gap to their opponents. As it was, this Dundalk score simply bolstered their confidence and pushed Bangor deeper into trouble. With Bangor still a man down, Dundalk added to the score with a penalty and then another score in the corner. Everything was now working for the Leinster men, as even the difficult touchline conversion into the biting wind successfully split the posts, bringing the score to 36-0.
As the game entered the final quarter, and with Dundalk all but holding the cup, Bangor were now on the ropes. By contrast, the Dundalk players were in almost total control, and were not going to slow down now. In a 10 minute spell, they ran in a further 3 tries, making the scoreline 55-0. By now, any sense of dejection the Bangor supporters may have been feeling was now moved to feelings of sympathy for their players. However, pride was at stake and once again Bangor rallied as the game entered its final minutes. At last, the forwards got within striking distance of the Dundalk line and, although their repeated attacks were repelled, they finally managed to do what their opponents had done so effectively, and quickly passed the ball wide to Davy Charles. Even though they were 55 points ahead, the Dundalk defence made Charles work hard to drive through the tackles and score Bangor’s consolation try, bringing the final score to 55-5.
From Bangor’s point of view, the final score doesn’t tell the whole story of this competition. While the final may have resulted in a sad anti-climax for Bangor, the remarkable journey to get there will be remembered for some time. On the day, Dundalk were by far the better side, and Bangor would have to concede that their game was not up to the usual standard. However, there is no doubt the experience of competing at this level is something to relish and the goal now will be to secure a top four place in the league and try again next year.
Everybody at the club has nothing but the highest respect and praise for what has been achieved this year by not just the 1sts, but all the senior teams, and one poor result isn’t going to change that – the welcome at Upritchard Park for the returning players is testament to that. With that in mind, the players now need to put this disappointment behind them and provide the best possible response against a struggling Portadown side at home in the league next Saturday.

In front of a big crowd at Chambers Park on Saturday afternoon Dundalk delivered a stunning and ruthless display to see off the challenge of Bangor and capture the All Ireland Junior Cup title for the very first time.
Three first half tries had them firmly in control at 19-0 ahead having played with the elements at the Portadown venue during the first half and while the wind dropped somewhat after half time the Dundalk intensity most certainly didn’t as they cut loose scoring five more tries.
Dundalk returned to a heroes welcome at their Mill Road clubhouse on Saturday night after a display of pure brilliance throughout the afternoon.
Precision, pace and skill from the Louth men from start to finish left Bangor playing second fiddle for long periods.

The Fay Thomas Collection includes family archives relating to the Thomas family. Moses Thomas (1825-1878) was a significant figure in the history of the area now known as the City of Whittlesea, Victoria, Australia. Thomas and Ann and their family lived at "Mayfield", Mernda, Victoria.
Miss Lily Thomas (1871-1946), Thomas and Ann’s fourth daughter lived there all her life. She collected postcards which her family and friends sent her on a very regular basis. It was an easy and enjoyable way to keep in touch. Production of postcards blossomed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Lily’s collection encompasses the so-called Golden Age (1890-1915) with many postmarked 1906-1907. Some were sent to other members of the family.
The collection document the natural landscape as well as the built environment—buildings, gardens, parks, and tourist sites. Topographical Postcards showing street scenes and general views from Australian and international locations, some of which are artistic views. Popular postcard manufacturers such as Tuck’s Postcards are included in the collection.
Decorative cards, many embellished with floral motives (as a nod to the receiver Lily?) and embossing. Greeting cards are common for Christmas, New Year, Easter and of course birthdays.
Regular senders can be identified from Kyneton and the Great Ocean Road area, Victoria and there is a siginifant collection from Scotland (but not sent from there).

The Panel (or Bay) numbers quoted at the end of each entry relate to the panels dedicated to the Regiment served with. In some instances where a casualty is recorded as attached to another Regiment, his name may alternatively appear within their Regimental Panels (or Bays). Please refer to the on-site Memorial Register Introduction to determine the alternative Panel (or Bay) numbers if you do not find the name within the quoted Panel (or Bay). Wheelchair access to the memorial is possible via an alternative entrance at the rear of Faubourg-d'Amiens Cemetery. Location Information: The Arras Memorial is in the Faubourg-d'Amiens Cemetery, which is in the Boulevard du General de Gaulle in the western part of the town of Arras. The cemetery is near the Citadel, approximately 2 kms due west of the railway station.
The French handed over Arras to Commonwealth forces in the spring of 1916 and the system of tunnels upon which the town is built were used and developed in preparation for the major offensive planned for April 1917. The Commonwealth section of the FAUBOURG D'AMIENS CEMETERY was begun in March 1916, behind the French military cemetery established earlier. It continued to be used by field ambulances and fighting units until November 1918. The cemetery was enlarged after the Armistice when graves were brought in from the battlefields and from two smaller cemeteries in the vicinity. The cemetery contains 2,651 Commonwealth burials of the First World War. In addition, there are 30 war graves of other nationalities, most of them German. During the Second World War, Arras was occupied by United Kingdom forces headquarters until the town was evacuated on 23 May 1940. Arras then remained in German hands until retaken by Commonwealth and Free French forces on 1 September 1944. The cemetery contains seven Commonwealth burials of the Second World War. The graves in the French military cemetery were removed after the First World War to other burial grounds and the land they had occupied was used for the construction of the Arras Memorial and Arras Flying Services Memorial. The ARRAS MEMORIAL commemorates almost 35,000 servicemen from the United Kingdom, South Africa and New Zealand who died in the Arras sector between the spring of 1916 and 7 August 1918, the eve of the Advance to Victory, and have no known grave. The most conspicuous events of this period were the Arras offensive of April-May 1917, and the German attack in the spring of 1918. Canadian and Australian servicemen killed in these operations are commemorated by memorials at Vimy and Villers-Bretonneux. A separate memorial remembers those killed in the Battle of Cambrai in 1917. The ARRAS FLYING SERVICES MEMORIAL commemorates nearly 1,000 airmen of the Royal Naval Air Service, the Royal Flying Corps, and the Royal Air Force, either by attachment from other arms of the forces of the Commonwealth or by original enlistment, who were killed on the whole Western Front and who have no known grave. Both cemetery and memorial were designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, with sculpture by Sir William Reid Dick. The memorial was unveiled by Lord Trenchard, Marshal of the Royal Air Force on the 31 July 1932 (originally it had been scheduled for 15 May, but due to the sudden death of French President Doumer, as a mark of respect, the ceremony was postponed until July).
A pilgrimage of hope to historic and poignant sites relating to the First World War, led by the two Archbishops of Armagh, has commenced with visits to the city of Kortrijk, in Belgium, and Guillemont Cemetery, in France.
The delegation visited Kortrijk, which was heavily bombed in 1917, yesterday afternoon and arrived at Guillemont this morning. The cemetery is the resting place for many soldiers from the 16th Irish Division who fought at the Battle of the Somme.
This was followed by a visit to the Ulster Tower – a memorial to the men of the 36th (Ulster) Division which suffered very heavy losses on 1st July 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme. The delegation then travelled to the nearby Thiepval Memorial and the Y Ravine Cemetery.
The group of pilgrims comprises 36 people of varying ages and backgrounds and representing the Protestant and Catholic traditions, including a core group of 16 young adults, who in visiting the war sites and memorials will be able to forge friendships and share their thoughts and hopes for the future while exploring their cultural identities.
Archbishop Richard Clarke (Church of Ireland) and Archbishop Eamon Martin (Catholic Church) previously led a cross–community delegation of young people from across the island of Ireland to the battle sites of the Somme two years ago; the current pilgrimage marks the upcoming centenary of the end of the First World War.
