Here we see an order from Wykes of Leicester placed on 10 August 1978. India became independent in 1947 and imposed import tariffs on cotton goods, damaging a major export market. The growing availability of electricity also shrank the market for belting. By the late 1960s, Stanley was mainly producing artificial fibres. In 1979, a management buyout led to the formation of Stanley Mills (Scotland),...

My friend Martha over at This is Everything posted a great piece on her tumblr from an article in The LA Times that was written back in June of 2008 . It may be an old article but with all the health care news as of late it seems like a good time to remind people of the below fact: “Unlike federal and state prisons, immigrant detention centers, many of which are run by private contractors, are...

All the stuff in the news about the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall reminds me of an old joke. There are two men sitting opposite each other in a railway carriage in East Berlin. One an East German worker, the other a visitor to an International Communist Conference. The worker asks the other, ... "Are you from the West?". "Yes comrade" came the reply. "I thought...

Jim, you'll always be a champion in our book. Julie too. Jim Boeheim’s next victory will be #800 in his career. Truly a milestone few ever see. Even more special is the fact that he will have done it all at the same school. And to even one-up that, he will have done it at his alma mater. All very impressive. So, big props to Jim Boeheim. When I began as a freshman at Syracuse in the Fall of...

You may ask? Why do I need a list? Because that is where the money is! Think about it. If you are selling a product and the visitor goes to your site, they may or may not purchase today. If they do, great. But what if they don’t? Of what if you have multiple products which [...]

Noah sez, "An interview with the man who designed the ambient sound at Disney World, ensuring a constant experience rather than one that ends with the end of the ride. It was initially a little uneven, with sound changing volumes depending on where you stood, so they used algorithms to position 15,000 speakers around the park so that the levels would never change." I like the way there's...

Around the shallow waters of my native Cornish habitat in Falmouth bay, they call me Morveren, the crab. No one ever bothered to explain to me why and when did I loose one of my limbs, or was I born like that. Legend has it, my father was a well known Cornish crab, who was served poached at the royal banquets in London, and my mother was from the highlands. However in the sixteenth golden year of my...
