#marl the exceed

[lisannastraussisanangel]

Do you think you could come up with some headcanons for Happy, Marl and Lucky post-Edolas arc? I haven’t seen a single piece of fanon work for them and it’s a shame because Fly to Your Friends! was one of my favourite episodes in that arc, and I always thought that little family should’ve deserved more screen time.

I literally just watched that episode omg. I wish they had more scenes together

Happy visits them frequently. They still believe he doesn't know who they are, but Happy has known the whole time

It was really important to Happy that they meet Natsu too (it went better than expected but Natsu did get yelled at several times)

Marl insists that they celebrate the day Happy reunited with them every year

Thanks to Lucky, Happy has become quite the farmer (a hobby that has taken over his home with Natsu)

Lucky does not like the Fairy Tail guild. He always yells that its too loud (Marl doesn't mind the guildhall)

Marl is always pestering Happy about when Happy and Carla are gonna get together (She adores Carla and has begun meddling)

They sat Happy down years into him regularly visiting and told him they were his parents. Happy pretended to be shocked but they quickly figured out that he already knew

Lucky has grounded Happy. Happy was convinced the punishment wouldn't last since he doesn't live with them, but Natsu took Lucky's side

Marl and Lucky take the time to teach Happy everything they know about exceed culture. Happy really enjoys learning about what his life would've been like

Happy has his own room in their house. Lucky insists that it's just a guest room, but Marl has it decorated specifically based on Happy's interests and taste

Happy does stay over there from time to time. He tries not to stay too long, not wanting to be a bother but his parents usually make up some excuse for him to stay longer

Know all the ingredients used in Cement Mixtures

Cement is the end-product of a combination of 8 main ingredients that go through the cement production process. These main ingredients are in general extracted from the materials limestone, clay, chalk, sand, marl, shale, bauxite, and iron ore. It is one of the main ingredients in the concrete mix used for construction. SD Conmix provides ready-mix-concrete of premium quality.

A brief discussion about the contribution of different ingredients in cement is mentioned below:

Lime:

Lime constitutes about 60–65 % of cement which in turn contributes to the strength. It is highly imperative and proper care to be taken with respect to the right proportion to make the cement sound and strong. An additional quantity of lime could result in unsound cement and lead to the expansion and disintegration of the cement. Also, the use of deficient lime results in decreased strength of the cement and it will set quickly.

Silica:

About 17% — 25 % of cement consists of Silica which again is a contributing factor towards the strength of the cement because of the dicalcium and tricalcium silicates formation. If silica is present in excess quantity, although it increases the cement strength but would also result in prolonged setting time of cement.

Alumina

Cement contains about 3.5 % — 9% of Alumina and it is this product that imparts the quality of quick-setting to the cement. However, if there is an excess amount of alumina present in the cement it causes a reduction of strength.

Iron Oxide

About 0.5% — 6.0 % of iron oxide is present in the cement. In addition to strength to the cement iron oxide also provides colour and hardness to the cement.

Magnesium Oxide

It is important to add the correct proportion which is about 0.5 % — 4.0 %. of magnesium oxide that imparts colour and hardness to the cement. Again, the presence of surplus quantity will affect the soundness of cement which refers to the stability of the volume change involved during the process of setting and hardening.

Sulphur Trioxide

A small quantity of about 1 % — 2.0 % of Sulphur Trioxide is present in the cement which also helps to make the cement sound. Excessive sulphur trioxide results in the cement becoming unsound.

Alkalis

Only small quantities of Alkalis such as 0.4% — 1.3 %. of soda or potash should be present in the cement. Excess quantity of Alkalis leads to efflorescence and straining when they are used in concrete or mortar.

Top 10 Requirements to be focussed on to ensure good quality cement:

Cement should possess a uniform colour.

Cement has to be free from lumps.

Cement should have regular level and smooth finish such that it has to gel well and sink in completely when it is mixed with water.

The total ratio in the percentage of alumina with iron oxide is not less than 0.66% of cement. The total percentage of sulphur content in cement should not be greater than 2.75%. The Magnesia content should not exceed 5% in weight.

Insoluble residue in cement should not exceed 1.5% by weight.

The cement should not lose its weight by more than 4% when heated.

The initial setting time of cement should ideally be about 30 minutes.

The final setting time should generally be about 10 hours.

SD Conmix is known for providing the best-quality Ready mix concrete in Bangalore.

Unique Oxbow Wetlands in Assam, India

Authored by:  Devashish Kar

Introduction

The water bodies under `Lentic’ category is said to form the `Standing water series’. Although the name is `standing water’ the water in such bodies is in motion in different ways. Hence, `standing water’ does not necessarily mean `static’. It simply means that water does not flow [1-3]. Until recently, many naturalists, including biologists, thought the lentic bodies (wetlands, lakes, etc.) to be much the same wherever they occur; because similarities are often found among different kinds of lentic bodies about their physico-chemical and biological features. Although a partial survival of this idea is still prevalent among many laymen; with the advent of limnology, it has been established that, lentic bodies as a class, manifest a most amazing physico-chemical and biological diversity. Further, as a partial indication of lentic bodies diversity, it could well be stated that lentic bodies could be large, medium or small; deep or shallow; protected or unprotected; with or without inlets and, outlets; fresh, brackish or salt; acidic, neutral or alkaline; hard, medium or soft; turbid or clear; surrounded by bogs, swamps, forest or open shore; high or low in dissolved content; with or without stagnant zones; with marl, muck, sand or clay bottoms; with or without vegetation beds; with high, medium or low biological productivity; young, mature or senescent; and, so on.

However, there could exist many imaginable intergrades within the various groups of characters mentioned above. The remarkable lentic bodies diversity is said to be the effect of multitudinous combinations of many of these characteristics mentioned above. In this connection, in contrast to a `lake’, a `wetland’ is a kind of lentic body whose depth generally does not exceed 6 m [1-3]. Standing waters occur in depressions or in basins, which are doomed from the moment they are formed. Eroded sediments and plant remain from the surrounding land are washed-in and settle at the bottom along with debris from the resident aquatic plants and animals. Gradually, the lake could get shallower until it becomes a `wetland’. Wetlands are, thus, basically `wet- lands’ where the soil is saturated with water for some time during the year. According to IUCN (1970), wetlands are areas of marsh, fen, etc., temporary, or permanent; natural or artificial mass of water, the depth of which generally does not exceed 6 m. Wetlands are areas which contain substantive amount of standing water and little flow.

Concomitant to above, a FW lake is a closed water body of FW which is surrounded by land on all sides. An oxbow type of lentic body (lake/wetland) is created when a river changes its course leading to isolation of a segment of the said river. A pond is a body of standing water which is too small to have a wave-swept beach. Swamps are wetlands with trees. Bogs and fens are vegetated low-lying areas. Bogs have outlets were water from rain runoff and springs flow away. Fens are basins fed by upwelling ground water. Marshes are usually wetlands dominated by a few species of plants, e.g., Cyperus, Scirpus, Echinochloa, Cynodon, etc.

    Origin and Evolution of Wetlands

In the tropics, notably in India and in adjoining places, like Bangladesh, etc., wetlands are generally shallow depressions which could normally be in the form of a basin at the centre of hillocks on all sides; or could be abandoned segment of a river (oxbow wetland); or a shallow portion of a river course which is detached from the main river course during the dry season. Sometimes, wetlands in NE India, are formed due to tectonic activities. Further, some wetlands are small kettle holes; others are in the last stages of `succession’ which is triggered when aquatic plants produce organic matter faster than decomposing organisms can re-cycle it. The remains of the plant bodies gradually accumulate until no open water remains. In Assam, and in adjoining Tripura and Bangladesh, 3 kinds of wetlands are generally found. They are locally called as follows [1-3]:

• `Beel’: Perennial wetlands which contain water throughout the year.

• `Haor’ : Seasonal wetlands which contain water only for some period of the year, particularly, during the rainy season. As such, they are also called `floodplain wetlands’.

• `Anua’ : These are peculiar river-formed perennial oxbow-type wetlands which are generally formed due to change in river course and which may or may not retain connection with the original river.

    Wetlands in North-East India

The North-Eastern (NE) region of India, a typically difficult topography with undulating terrains, however, provides enough potential for fish production which can supplement food requirement for the region and could provide answer to diminishing protein supply. Situated between 89-97 N Longitude and 20-30 E Latitude, the region encompasses a vast area of 2,55,083 sq. km out of total Indian area of 3.3. million sq. km. Comprising of eight provinces, viz., Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura, and Sikkim. The lofty Himalayas proudly stands as sentinels to guard the northern and eastern frontiers. The Chittagong Hill tracts form a crescent on the south. The region’s western mountains suddenly rise from the valleys in Bangladesh, leaving only a narrow strip which opens out to the Indian mainland.

The NE region of India displays diversities regarding topography, water resources, biota, climate, race, language, and culture; and the region harbours >100 tribes differing ethnologically yet sharing a common destiny. Besides lotic territories, the lentic water bodies having 0.72 x 106 ha lake coverage in India, constitute great potential of fishery resources. The NE region is blessed with several lentic systems, locally called `Beel, Haor, Anua, Hola, Doloni, Jalah, etc., which alone constitute c 81 % of the total lentic area (0.12 x 106 ha) in Assam. These lentic systems are generally shallow and open, ranging in size from 35 to 3458.12 ha and with depth ranging from 0.25 to 3.0 m (in some, however, the maximum depth may exceed 6.0 m) at LSL. Further, in Assam, there are c 1392 number of wetlands having a total of c 22,896 number of fisheries of different categories; out of which, the number of registered wetlands is only 394 (30.38 %) covering an area of c 70,000 ha; of which, c 19,000 ha is in good condition; c 15,000 ha is in semi-derelict condition and c 35,000 ha is in derelict condition [1-3].

Out of the total of 1392 wetlands in Assam, there are 290 oxbow wetlands (`Anua’) covering an area of 5, 460.60 ha which constitutes approx.0.10 % of the total geographical area of the State and 9.27 % of the total area under wetlands. The smallest of them measures 5.0 ha while the largest one has 582.50 ha of water spread area. Highest number of oxbow wetlands are observed in Golaghat district (104) followed by Nagaon district (71) and Dhubri district (68). Maximum area of oxbow wetlands is in Morigaon district (2143.00 ha) followed by Nagaon (1746.00 ha) and Golaghat (1563.00 ha) districts. Some of the important wetlands under this category are Morikolong and Patoli beel in Nagaon district, Mer beel in Golaghat district and Guruajan in Morigaon district, the Anuas in Cachar district, etc. [1-3].

    The Anuas

The `Anua’ (river-formed oxbow wetland) could be potential water bodies for pisciculture and aqua-sports. Some of the significant Anua are Baskandi Anua, Silghat Anua, Algapur Anua, Dungripar Anua, Satkarakandi Anua, Ramnagar Anua, Salchapra Anua, Fulbari Anua and Shibnarayanpur Anua [1-3]. An account of some of these is briefly given below:

Satkarakandi Anua

Satkarakandi Anua (92o 52’41.6” E and 24o 45’8.9” N; altitude, 20.73 m MSL) lies in the Sonai Revenue Circle in the Cachar district of Assam. The wetland is situated at c 15.5 km away from Silchar city. River Barak flows towards the northern side of the wetland. The villages Satkarakandi and Dhanehary are situated on the eastern shore of the Anua. The villages Barahali and Satkarakandirpar are situated towards the south and west of the wetland. The NE and western shores of the Anua are protected by earthen embankments about 4 m in height as a preventive measure against flood. The maximum L and B of the wetland were found to be c 1.75 km and 0.3 km respectively. The Anua was found to have an average depth of c 3.0 m at FSL. During monsoon, the Anua establishes connection with the river Barak through a channel on the northern side of the wetland which is, however, guarded by a sluice gate as a flood-mitigation measure.

The wetland was found to exhibit interesting trends in its physicochemical features of water. The average values of physico-chemical parameters of water were found to be, water temperature 26 oC, Turbidity 25.5. NTU, pH 5.7, DO 4.95 mg/l, FCO2 45.0 mg/l, TA 101 mg/l, conductivity 49 μ mhos/cm., PO4 0.406 mg/l, NO3 0.32 mg/l (Table 1). This wetland is a victim of acute eutrophication being infested by luxuriant population of Eichhornia crassipes. Other forms of Aquatic Macrophytes (AM) include Lemna minor, Eleocharis acutangula, Scripus eriophorum, Salvinia cucullata, Azolla pinnata, Ipomoea aquatica, etc. The following genera/species of phytoplankton generally occur in this wetland, viz., Nostoc, Oscillatoria, Anabaena, Microscysis, Ankistrodesmus, Chlorella, Closterium, Euglena, Ceratium, Cosmarium, Pinnularia, Navicula, etc.

Studies revealed the occurrence of following genera/species of zooplankton: Arcella sp., Brachionus sp., Lecane sp., Keratella sp., Filinia sp., Trichocerca sp., Daphnia sp., Moina sp., Alona sp., Chydorus sp., Dadaya sp., Cyclops sp., Diaptomus sp., etc. Fish diversity recorded 32 valid ichthyospecies belonging to 16 families and 8 orders. Some of the fish species are Notopterus notopterus, Gudusia chapra, Salmophasia bacaila, Amblypharyngodon mola, Osteobrama cotio cotio, Puntius chola, P. conchonius, P. ticto, Botia dario, Mystus cavasius, M. vittatus, Ompok bimaculatus, Wallago attu, Clarias batrachus, Heteropneustes fossilis, Anabas testudineus, Xenentodon cancila, Channa punctatus, Trichogaster fasciatus, Chanda nama, Mastacembelus armatus, Macrognatus pancalus, M. aculeatus, etc.

Fish Yield (FY) as Total landing of fish ranged from c 140-425 kg/ year; while the average annual fish landing was 255.44 kg. Gudusia chapra showed maximum fish yield (c 78 % of the total yield) followed by Puntius ticto (c 12 % of the total yield). The management aspects of Satkarakandi wetland revealed that the wetland suffers from various problems, like overgrowth of aquatic weeds, closure of feeding channels, unsustained fishing, addition of domestic sewage, etc. These could be overcome by certain steps, like deweeding, opening of the feeding canals, sustained fishing, etc.

Baskandi Anua

This oxbow wetland (24o 48’ 36” N and 92o 55’ 22.7” E) lies in the Lakhipur Sub-division of Cachar district in Assam. It is said to have been formed due to change of course of the River Barak [1- 3]. The Anua is situated near the Manipur range of hills. Towards the east, lies the Manipur valley while the Silchar sub-division is situated in the west. The North Cachar Hills is situated towards the north and the province of Mizoram lies towards the south. The catchment soil is found to be mainly sandy loam. Rain is the main source of water for the Anua. This oxbow wetland also receives water from the surrounding catchment having human habitation. The catchment vegetation includes herbs, shrubs and trees including a lot of bamboos.

Baskandi Anua is situated about 20 km away from Silchar city along the NH 53 which connects Silchar with Imphal. The Silchar- Jiribam (Manipur) railway line passes near the wetland. The Rural Development Block HQ is at Baskandi. The length (L), breadth (B) and area (A) of Baskandi Anua respectively are 2.230 km, 205 m and 39.2 ha at FSL and 2.090 km, 190 m and 36.7 ha at DSL. The wetland basin tends to be deeper towards the southern side as compared to the northern. The Anua exhibits variable water level ranging from 0.25 m to 5.85 m at FSL (Jun-Sep) and from 0.14 m to 4.12 m at DSL (Oct-Apr). 16 AM species have been recorded in Baskandi Anua. They belong to 6 free-floating (Azolla pinnata, Eichhornia crassipes, Salvinia cucullata, Lemna minor, Pistia stratiotes, Wolfia sp); 2 rooted submerged (Hydrilla verticillata, Vallisneria spiralis); 6 rooted with floating leaves (Nymphaea nouchali, Nymphoides indicum, N.cristatum, Trapa bispinosa, Euryale ferox, Nelumbo nucifera); and 2 rooted emergent (Jussiaea repens, Muradania nudiflora). Of these, 6 AM species were found to occur throughout the year. These are Azolla pinnata, Eichhornia crassipes, Salvinia cucullata, Trapa bispinosa and Jussiaea repens.

It has been observed that the AM start their seasonal cycle from the germination period in winter while emerging to a vegetative stage in summer and then to monsoon. This was followed by the flowering and fruiting during late monsoon and post-monsoon. Studies revealed wet AM biomass to be ranging from 4.4 to 11.4 kg/m2. Wet biomass was observed to be higher during monsoon and post-monsoon reaching trough value during winter with a concomitant increasing trend during summer. Significant positive correlation of AM biomass with water temperature (r= 0.1820) has been recorded during the study period. Incidentally Baskandi Anua revealed usual values of Physico-chemical parameters of water (Table 1).

Studies revealed the occurrence of 49 forms of phytoplankton belonging to 48 genera under 26 families, 11 orders and 6 classes.

    Discussion

These typical oxbow wetlands (locally called `Anua’) situated in the North-East region of India are unique lentic systems, potentially very much significant for : (a) Aquaculture; (b)Water storage and supply to human habitation; (c) Aqua sports and Aqua tourism; and (d) Flood mitigation (which is sometimes a recurring event in this part of the globe). These potential aquatic systems could also serve as excellent sites of `aquatic sanctuary’ in the event of fast depletion of coveted aquatic biodiversity. The potentials and problems associated with these oxbow wetlands (`Anua’) have been well portrayed in Table 3. Incidentally, the fishes of these oxbow wetlands had since been affected by the hithetto unknown virulent fish disease called the Epizootic Ulcerative Syndrome (EUS), which had been sweeping the freshwater fishes of the earth unhindered, unimpeded, and unabated semi-globally since the 1970s causing colossal loss to the fish biodiversity [4].

Know all the ingredients used in Cement Mixtures

Cement is the end-product of a combination of 8 main ingredients that go through the cement production process. These main ingredients are in general extracted from the materials limestone, clay, chalk, sand, marl, shale, bauxite, and iron ore. It is one of the main ingredients in the concrete mix used for construction. SD Conmix provides ready-mix-concrete of premium quality. A brief discussion about the contribution of different ingredients in cement is mentioned below: Lime: Lime constitutes about 60 – 65 % of cement which in turn contributes to the strength. It is highly imperative and proper care to be taken with respect to the right proportion to make the cement sound and strong. An additional quantity of lime could result in unsound cement and lead to the expansion and disintegration of the cement. Also, the use of deficient lime results in decreased strength of the cement and it will set quickly. Silica: About 17% – 25 % of cement consists of Silica which again is a contributing factor towards the strength of the cement because of the dicalcium and tricalcium silicates formation. If silica is present in excess quantity, although it increases the cement strength but would also result in prolonged setting time of cement. Alumina Cement contains about 3.5 % – 9% of Alumina and it is this product that imparts the quality of quick-setting to the cement. However, if there is an excess amount of alumina present in the cement it causes a reduction of strength. Iron Oxide About 0.5% – 6.0 % of iron oxide is present in the cement. In addition to strength to the cement iron oxide also provides colour and hardness to the cement. Magnesium Oxide It is important to add the correct proportion which is about 0.5 % – 4.0 %. of magnesium oxide that imparts colour and hardness to the cement. Again, the presence of surplus quantity will affect the soundness of cement which refers to the stability of the volume change involved during the process of setting and hardening. Sulphur Trioxide A small quantity of about 1 % – 2.0 % of Sulphur Trioxide is present in the cement which also helps to make the cement sound. Excessive sulphur trioxide results in the cement becoming unsound. Alkalis Only small quantities of Alkalis such as 0.4% – 1.3 %. of soda or potash should be present in the cement. Excess quantity of Alkalis leads to efflorescence and straining when they are used in concrete or mortar. Top 10 Requirements to be focussed on to ensure good quality cement: Cement should possess a uniform colour. Cement has to be free from lumps. Cement should have regular level and smooth finish such that it has to gel well and sink in completely when it is mixed with water. The total ratio in the percentage of alumina with iron oxide is not less than 0.66% of cement. The total percentage of sulphur content in cement should not be greater than 2.75%. The Magnesia content should not exceed 5% in weight. Insoluble residue in cement should not exceed 1.5% by weight. The cement should not lose its weight by more than 4% when heated. The initial setting time of cement should ideally be about 30 minutes. The final setting time should generally be about 10 hours.

How would the Exceeds handle lockdown? Happy, Carla, Lily, Lector, Frosch, Samuel. Let's throw in Marl and Lucky too.

well, carla is trying to teach happy to read, and ignoring her premonitions showing that's it's never gonna work. happy only cares about books about fish and comic books - carla doesn't see comics as "proper literature" and doesn't have any book about fish other than the doctor seuss classic.

happy isn't very happy, ironically. his favourite pastimes include fishing, breaking into lucy's house, fishing, quests with extreme danger of death, fishing and eating some freshly caught fish. I'm sure you can see the problem here; all of them are impossible due to the lockdown rules. he's going crazy and making canned tuna smoothies (carla is Infinitely Disgusted). he's enjoying his reading lessons, though, because the comics he always brings always have such pretty pictures! even though carla won't let him read them...

carla is slowly going insane. she's flying around magnolia like a carrier pigeon, as she's the only one responsible enough to go outside. she does everyone's shopping and brings them "care packages" with gradually increasing levels of frustration. eventually she just slings shopping bags through marginally open windows. she's trying to teach happy to read, while at a safe distance away. happy is having none of it and keeps inching closer to her, and before soon his head is in her lap as she makes him anunciante a "ph" sound. she's so angry at his apparent LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF SOCIAL DISTANCING, but he won't listen to her otherwise. if he asks for one (1) more story about fishcakes, she's gonna have a mental breakdown

pantherlily is babysitting yaje and shutora and gajeel. he's trying to keep levy sane, but being stuck inside with two small babies and one very big baby is not easy. he asks carla to bring a new book every day and has started repainting the nursery room, again. he doesn't seem fussed with his newfound responsibility; changing the twins' diapers and hoovering and stopping them from crying when gajeel starts practising guitar. inside he's screaming. he's been in the house, not working, for two whole months, and yet has not had a WINK of sleep since last Friday. he and levy are closer than ever and do the laundry together, doing duets from musicals and being absolutely knackered when they try to work out whos clothes are whose. the house was deepcleaned, at one point, but now it's so filthy and there are dirty socks and empty wrappers and the occasional fork strewn across the floor. gajeel keeps using toilet paper for things he shouldn't and lily isn't happy about it; there's a tp shortage, dammit!

frosch is a baby. they're keeping rogue's hair in his skull, because without them he would've pulled it out in frustration by now. they don't really understand that there's a pandemic, and are kinda confused that everyone's been home for three months. the concept of lockdown eludes them, but they do as they're told and stay in the house. the frogs at the end of the garden that they've been looking after are growing up now and most of them have gone on their sticky little way. they come back to visit them though, and they sleep together a lot. frosch naps on rogue's lap most of the day, and picks out what box sets they should watch together. they've seen f•r•i•e•n•d•s at least six times. frosch is really enjoying it! they get to be with rogue 24/7 (not that they can count to either of those numbers) and there's no danger of painful death or torture or gore this time! they're loving it! although if they understood the circumstances, maybe they wouldn't...

lector has appointed himself Sting's Best Friend and Bodyguard and Royal Advisor (SBFBRA for short). everytime sting leaves the house, he follows with a massive fuck-off sword, to make sure people stay 6ft away. anytime anyone even gets close - maybe because the crosswalk just isn't wide enough - he hisses at them and prods them away with the hilt, as a warning. he's coming out of lockdown ripped; when he's not acting as SBFBRA he's converting his room into a gym. he spends twenty hours a day on a rowing machine, and ten on the dumbbells, and five on the treadmills, and apparently zero on the maths textbooks. he also learned to crochet.

samuel's electricity bill is higher than snoop dogg at the top of the tower of babel. his TV is on constantly, on the news, and he's getting updates on every device he has. he's always waiting to find out when the lockdown ends, because there's only so many novels you can write. his library/house is out of books that he hasn't read. he's playing dnd by himself and DMing himself, and plays monopoly alone, and plays tridimensional chess alone, and- well, you get the picture. he is DONE with this shit. he deconstructed a microwave and made a typewriter with the parts. he's contemplated going outside but according to all his calculations of every possibility, there's just too high a risk. he's not enjoying lockdown at all; not because his daily routine has changed (it hasn't), but because the shop that he buys his organic probiotic yoghurt from is still closed. he's started a podcast about The Art of Vagueposting. noone listens to it.

I hope this was worth the wait!! I apologise, I simply don't know enough about marl, lucky (happy's parents?) and touka to write about them

what do you think, my fluffy friend?

Tuesday, 23 April 1839

8 5/’’

12 55/’’

Rainy morning – Had Mr. Shackleton (A-[Ann] had him first) at 8 3/4 she for 1/4 hour and I for rather longer – Dressed – Breakfast 9 3/4 in 35 minutes then had Mr. Harper – Before settling with him about windows &c. wrote and sent by George note as follows:

“Mr. Gray junior Petergate

Mrs. Lister and Miss Walker would be glad to see Mr. Gray at 12 at noon today, if that hour will not be inconvenient to him –

George Inn. Tuesday morning 23 April 1839”

 Note in answer would come at 11 1/2 having an engagement soon after 12 – Settled with Mr. Harper about windows and a long list of items to be done in our absence so that we might find all comfortable on our return – (Vide rough book entry of all directions) –

Mr. Gray came at 11 1/2 and staid till 12 20/’’ – Old G-‘s[Gray’s] money when paid in to be invested in the funds – So that there will be no difficulty about A-‘s[Ann’s] paying it in a little sooner or later – By the way sooner was not hinted at – My estate safe from the mortgage till some one should come into possession who could cut off the entail, and pay off the mortgage – The money not likely to be wanted during Miss Jane Preston’s life – And if wanted Mr. G-[Gray] will transfer the mortgage without giving me any trouble whether I may be in England or abroad desired him to prepare a little codicil to my will giving A-[Ann] and him as executors and trustees the discretion to sell all or part of my property in H-x[Halifax] to pay off the mortgage – He gave me a sheet form of agreement for letting the colliery from year to year – To see him again on our return from North Cave – He will be at home all the day on Thursday – But not after 10 tomorrow morning –

An agreement to take requires only a 20/- stamp – An agreement to let requires a stamp according to the amount of rent; but if the amount is altogether uncertain, vide Kearsley’s Tax Tables what the stamp will be – Something considerable –

Mr. G-[Gray] went at 12 20/’’ and then seeing that we could not get off till Thursday wrote and sent as followed (on 1/2 sheet of note paper) to Mrs. Oddy, Shibden Hall, near H-x[Halifax] to be delivered immediately:

“York – Tuesday morning 23 April 1839.

Mrs. Oddy.

We shall not be at home at home till Thursday, but expect to be there on that day in the course of the evening – You need not sit up later than eleven o’clock at night – We shall not want dinner –

A Lister”

Kind note this morning from Miss Henrietta Crompton enclosing the card of ‘the Miss Cromptons’ for A-[Ann] regretting that the rainy morning prevented her calling – Had just written so far at 12 50/’’ – Then did up our imperials &c. and got all ready for being off to North Cave, to see Marian –

Had ordered up luncheon (our cold loin of roast mutton of yesterday and bread and butter) at 2 and had nearly done when I[Isabella] N-[Norcliffe] came soon after 2 and staid above an hour – Determined to go abroad this summer but unfixed when and where – will be away the Winter –

Off at 3 48/’’ to return to dinner tomorrow – But took all with us – Changed horses at Bamby[Barmby] Moor at 5 10/’’ – Passed the Inn (Devonshire Arms) at Market Weighton at 6 1/4 – 6 miles from there to Mill Cottage N.[North] Cave but they charged using (at Bamby[Barmby] Moor i.e. 6 miles B.[Barmby] Moor to Market W-[Weighton] and 8 from there to N.[North] C.[Cave]) and it was 7 22/’’ before we alighted at Marian’s door – 

I had not written – She had no notice of our going – She was upstairs – Lucky – Mrs. Button dangerously ill; and she had only left her and returned home yesterday – The girl woman servant did not know me – I gave no name –

Marian soon came down looking thin, and pale, and nervous – I soon set all parties at ease – I had done right to give no notice – Marian owned if I had written she should not have known what to do – Should have feared she could not make us comfortable – Should have sent to Hull for things the bed had been slept in last night – 

No trouble to re-sheet it and light the fire – We had perfumed Russian tea, and good coffee and bread and butter and toast &c. and reindeer’s tongue and all very comfortable in a few minutes and I believe poor Marian was very glad to see us – We never stirred till A-[Ann] went upstairs to bed at 10 20/’’ and I followed at 11 50/’’ –

Talked over everything – It seem she did not expect A-[Ann] to give £600 for Lee Lane – Thought it was only £500 she had bid before – Marian would have taken £550 as Mr. Parker knew – Mitchell had valued the place (coal and all) at £500 – all parties behaved very handsomely Marian in telling this and A-[Ann] in rejoicing that she had the £600 to give as she thought the place worth it –

Marian had had some trouble in determining but had at last made up her mind to sell High Royds – Mitchell’s valuation of it = £2268, odd – Had told Mr. Parker to offer it to me first – And then to Holt at £2300 he having to pay for Copperas House which Marian bought and for which a title is now about to be made – But she would take £2,000 of me – No! No! Sorry I could not give her the valuation – Sorry I could not buy it – She wants £2400 for immediate use – But not necessitated to sell High Royds at the moment as the £600 for Lee Lane will pay the bank debt – Had this money towards the end of last month – Knows that borrowing at a bank (a new and said to be liberal bank at North Cave) costs one way or another 6 p.[per] c.[cent] – Has £200 of Mrs. Button who cannot continue long, and Marian would like to be prepared to pay this off – Expects a legacy but only of one hundred – The debts on Highroyds = £1600 – These 3 sums = £2400. Skelfler is at the same rent as in my father’s time – Not quite £600 a year? Or not more than £600 her present income net from £200 to £300 per annum – And yet she every year lays out money in [marling] &c. to say nothing of accidents –

The great wind (7 January last) blew down the barn at the Grange – Butterworth End cost above £120 - £10 of damage done by the great wind at High Roydes (chimney blown down) – And she gives £20 a year to Mr. Edwards of Market W-[Weighton] for looking over the Skelfler Estate seeing that the drains are kept open &c. for she herself receives the rents which she says are now paid at the day –

I remonstrated on this over payment to Mr. E-[Edwards] for doing nothing – Yes! He would look after the barn building up again – He said it was more than he expected but Marian herself offered it because Mr. Robinson the attorney employed by my father had had this sum (independent of law expense) for receiving rents and doing everything –

Poor Marian – The thought of all this makes my heart ache – But what can I do – She will not hear of giving Mr. Edwards less – I said a professional land agent would go over the estate and note its state of management and repair – (its condition and value) 2 days per annum at 2 guineas a day and expense which could not exceed 3 guineas a day –

I advised the letting the tenants farm in a proper husbandlike manner without her laying out one sixpence more especially as she says the rents are very low – And in the case of Skelfler she is so persuaded of the hundreds that the tenant has in the land that when she made her will on going to Market W-[Weighton] on my fathers death (the summer of 1836) she willed that the tenant had the farm for ten years from that time at the rent he then paid –

She said however that tho’ she had consulted Mr. Robinson about this (and she did not say he had made any objection) that the tenant himself knew nothing about it – I advised her to sell – The Estate nets under £600 (I should think from my remembrance of the outgoing drainage &c. &c. above £30 per annum that the net income is about £560) she says (in spite of this hampering about the tenant right) she would not take less than £20,000 for it!

How can I help her – Advising is quite in vain – I urged her selling – Said she might in the course of a few years (which I believe) make her income a clear £500 a year on which, with her knife and fork at Shibden, she might live without being buried alive –

Her cottage here is damp, and too near the mill-dam – (Originally a paper mill, now a corn-mill) But pretty enough – The house is sufficient 4 rooms on a floor – 2 sitting rooms below with bedrooms over them and at the back good kitchen and pantries and rooms over them – A small cellar – A little sheltered nice bit of garden ground about 25 or more? x 15 yards and a little island (perhaps 60 to 70 square yards) in the midst of the water on which island she grows her potatoes – Good ones –

The man who does her garden, finds her all seeds and sets, and does all, for £5 a year – He might suit me – He is to speak to me tomorrow – Clerk, too, of the parish church – Ivy-covered and very picturesque – Close to here, and to the entrance gate to Hotham (Mr. Burton’s) – Marian pays £20 a year and has all taxes paid for her –

I congratulated her on her escape from her thought of marriage – I thought she had been much mistaken in her judgment in this matter – Mr Abbot not a gentleman mentioned his having called here          she did not explain how the thing was off             I conclude he let it die a natural death         she shewed neither pain nor pleasure on the subject – but said it was all off –

Light gentle rain in the morning fair the greater part of the afternoon – Poor A[Ann] had thought me long but behaved very well about it she got in to bed soon after my getting upstairs –

Know all the ingredients used in Cement Mixtures

Cement is the end-product of a combination of 8 main ingredients that go through the cement production process. These main ingredients are in general extracted from the materials limestone, clay, chalk, sand, marl, shale, bauxite, and iron ore. It is one of the main ingredients in the concrete mix used for construction. SD Conmix provides ready-mix-concrete of premium quality. A brief discussion about the contribution of different ingredients in cement is mentioned below: Lime: Lime constitutes about 60 – 65 % of cement which in turn contributes to the strength. It is highly imperative and proper care to be taken with respect to the right proportion to make the cement sound and strong. An additional quantity of lime could result in unsound cement and lead to the expansion and disintegration of the cement. Also, the use of deficient lime results in decreased strength of the cement and it will set quickly. Silica: About 17% – 25 % of cement consists of Silica which again is a contributing factor towards the strength of the cement because of the dicalcium and tricalcium silicates formation. If silica is present in excess quantity, although it increases the cement strength but would also result in prolonged setting time of cement. Alumina Cement contains about 3.5 % – 9% of Alumina and it is this product that imparts the quality of quick-setting to the cement. However, if there is an excess amount of alumina present in the cement it causes a reduction of strength. Iron Oxide About 0.5% – 6.0 % of iron oxide is present in the cement. In addition to strength to the cement iron oxide also provides colour and hardness to the cement. Magnesium Oxide It is important to add the correct proportion which is about 0.5 % – 4.0 %. of magnesium oxide that imparts colour and hardness to the cement. Again, the presence of surplus quantity will affect the soundness of cement which refers to the stability of the volume change involved during the process of setting and hardening. Sulphur Trioxide A small quantity of about 1 % – 2.0 % of Sulphur Trioxide is present in the cement which also helps to make the cement sound. Excessive sulphur trioxide results in the cement becoming unsound. Alkalis Only small quantities of Alkalis such as 0.4% – 1.3 %. of soda or potash should be present in the cement. Excess quantity of Alkalis leads to efflorescence and straining when they are used in concrete or mortar. Top 10 Requirements to be focussed on to ensure good quality cement: Cement should possess a uniform colour. Cement has to be free from lumps. Cement should have regular level and smooth finish such that it has to gel well and sink in completely when it is mixed with water. The total ratio in the percentage of alumina with iron oxide is not less than 0.66% of cement. The total percentage of sulphur content in cement should not be greater than 2.75%. The Magnesia content should not exceed 5% in weight. Insoluble residue in cement should not exceed 1.5% by weight. The cement should not lose its weight by more than 4% when heated. The initial setting time of cement should ideally be about 30 minutes. The final setting time should generally be about 10 hours.

Victoria records SIX coronavirus deaths – its highest ever

Victoria has recorded 300 new coronavirus cases and a record six deaths.

The shocking death total is the largest of any state throughout the pandemic after New South Wales recorded five on 28 April and Victoria also recorded five on Thursday. 

All of Friday’s deaths were elderly people in aged care. The state’s death toll is now 55 and the national toll is 138. 

There are 206 Victorians in hospital including 41 in intensive care. 

Residents line up outside the Royal Melbourne Hosital for coronavirus testing in Melbourne

Premier Daniel Andrews warned more deaths would rock the state.

‘For every thousand people that are positive each day, there will be many hundreds that finish up in hospital and they will be many who die,’ he said.

It comes as some residents try to defy Melbourne’s lockdown laws and the order to wear masks when leaving home.

One Melbourne residents named Eve Black shared footage on Thursday of herself driving past an officer at a COVID-19 police barricade. 

When a police officer asked her where she was headed and why she was attempting to leave, Ms Black simply told him she didn’t need to share that information.

After an argument, the frustrated officer eventually waved her through as she sped off with a grin on her face. 

On Tuesday, two mothers minding their children in Lilydale Lakes Park in northeast Melbourne refused to go home when confronted by police.

They claimed they were exercising their human rights, but eventually left without being fined. 

New South Wales recorded just seven cases on Friday after conducting 36,000 tests, in a sign that the outbreak there is under control. 

Six of the cases were linked to the Thai Rock restaurant in Wetherill Park and the source of one is being investigated. 

On Friday Scott Morrison is meeting with state and territory leaders to discuss the national impact of the Victorian coronavirus outbreak.

The state recorded 403 new cases on Thursday, as it imposed mandatory mask-wearing in greater Melbourne and Mitchell Shire, and cracked down on those not properly undertaking social distancing.

Deputy Labor leader Richard Marles said the situation in his home state was scary.

‘If you’ve got family in aged care or if you’re in aged care, if you work in aged care, it is utterly terrifying,’ he told the Nine Network on Friday.

‘Now is the moment to try and work together to get through this.’

Medical staff are seen wearing masks in Melbourne as the state’s outbreak continues to grow

New Treasury figures show the Victorian lockdown is expected to cost the national economy $3.3 billion, presuming the measures only last six weeks.

Treasury expects to see government debt exceed $850 billion and the federal budget hit a $184.5 billion deficit by the end of this financial year.

These estimates rely on Victoria sticking to six-week lockdowns and international borders reopening in January with two-week quarantine for anyone entering.

The unemployment rate is expected to peak at 9.25 per cent before Christmas, leaving another 240,000 people out of work.

The leaders will also be briefed on the timetable for easing restrictions and local outbreak planning.

Queensland has now identified Fairfield in Sydney’s southwest as a virus hotspot and has closed its border to people from that area unless they quarantine for 14 days.

Masks are mandatory in Melbourne as of Thursday. Pictured: A resident in the CBD 

Pictured: Police conduct a licence check in Brimbank. The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Brimbank jumped by 64 on Thursday

Leaders hold concerns about the situation in Victoria, where almost 90 per cent of people who caught the disease over the past two weeks did not self-isolate between feeling sick and getting tested.

And more than half didn’t stay at home while waiting for their results.

Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt says staying home from work and isolating when ill or showing symptoms are critical to protecting the community and stemming the virus’ spread.

The national cabinet is also expected to deal with the issues of Indigenous wellbeing and an overhaul of the way major projects receive environmental approval. 

Premier Daniel Andrews has warned Victoria’s health system will not cope if Melburnians continue to test positive to COVID-19
