Who are we?
Set up in early 2021 by a group of keen SW18 residents, we are a non-profit initiative that promotes, encourages and facilitates higher rates of recycling in our community, reducing the amount of waste that is sent for incineration.
What do we hope to achieve?
We aim to make reducing waste and recycling easy and (because you're doing it with your neighbours) fun. We would love you to join our waste reduction efforts. Every small change matters!
How do we do this?
We have teamed up with TerraCycle UK to collect hard-to-recycle materials such as crisp packets and home and beauty products.
We also encourage greater uptake of Wandsworth Council's recycling scheme which already takes a host of items such as glass and plastic bottles, paper and cans.
Great for the environment and for community spirit! Thank you to the Southfields Grid Residents Association for support and encouragement.

A high-quality logo and uniform, thought-out style help create a trustworthy image for the company, product or organisation. This, in turn, helps to reach set goals like increasing sales or notoriety.
To everyone that needs a new visual identity or to adjust the existing one. We will create visual identities for companies and organisations but also for products and services.
We start our process with a specification. Through the creation of the specification we will get to know the clients’ values, market position and competitors, sales arguments and business goals. We then phrase the general goal and leitmotif of the branding. During the process we communicate closely with the client. We weigh different options that result from the analysis, best modern practices and our extensive experience.
As a result we create logos in different file and colour formats and according to the agreement either a simple, customary or exhaustive style guide:
- simple guide sets colours and fonts;

Another intriguing update from the world of aphantasia.
The condition of aphantasia, or being unable to form visual imagery, is one the Back Page finds fascinating.
What’s it like not being able to see, or sort-of see, objects and creatures in your mind?
Is it a bit dull? We were shocked to learn that there’s a whole population who can’t enjoy M.R. James ghost stories, for example, because words just aren’t scary.
There are also implications for memory, spatial navigation and language acquisition.
Now an Australian/French team has found the first physiological marker of aphantasia, one that doesn’t rely on self-report, simply by looking into a subject’s eyes when they’re asked to imagine something.
Everyone knows that pupils dilate and contract to differences in light, to optimise vision and protect the retina, but it was news to The Back Page that they also respond to imagined or expected brightness: a subject’s pupils contract when shown a picture of the sun more than one of the moon, and one study has shown a reponse to words alone, according to the authors.
They first measured subjects’ pupillary light response to imagery by showing them a real visual stimulus and then asking them to picture the same image, they tested the strength of the imagery using the binocular rivalry method. Pupillary response correlated positively with strength of imagery.
Then they tested 18 self-reportedly aphantasic subjects and found no pupil response during the imagery phase – except when they asked them to imagine four images at once, at which point the pupils reacted because of the higher cognitive demand (also an established phenomenon). This showed they were actually trying.
The authors suggest the correlation between imagery vividness and pupil response – and the lack of pupil response in aphantasics – is because the pupil responds “to imagined luminance in much the same way that it responds to retina-based light sources” and “that visual imagery functions much like a weak version of afferent perception”, but the exact mechanism is still uncertain.
They hope their work “may lead to the development of more congenial theories of the mind’s eye”.
If you see something congenial in your mind’s eye or otherwise, send it to firstname.lastname@example.org

When I first decided to make this dish, I had to think back to the good old days when we lived in Amsterdam and there was a Bao Bun stand on every corner. Because I haven’t eaten meat in a long time, I thought it would be a challenge to make a vegetarian version of these delicious, spongy sandwiches. What follows is the result, and believe me, it’s not difficult. But it is yummy!
Recipe for +/- 10 bao buns
Preparation time: 45 minutes, rising time 1 hour
Ingredients for bread
- 500 g patent flour
- 300 ml water
- 7 g dried yeast (1 packet)
- 1 tsp sugar
Ingredients for the filling
- 1 head of broccoli, in florets
- ½ red onion, chopped
- 4 tbs mild olive oil
- 3 tbs soy sauce
- 1-2 large tbs Chinese black bean sauce
- 1-2 tsp sambal (or to taste)
- freshly ground black pepper
- sweet chili sauce to serve on the side
Please note: you’ll need a steam basket or strainer with a lid and baking paper
1. Mix the flour, yeast, sugar and water in a large bowl until it because a supple dough. If it gets too dry, add a little bit of water and if it gets too sticky, add a bit more flour. Make a large, round ball from it and lay it back in the bowl, covering it with a tea towel. Let this rise for an hour while you prepare the filling.
2. Steam the broccoli florets in a steam basket or a strainer that you can seal with a lid for about 5 to 7 minutes, until it is al dente. They don’t need to get soft! Let them cool down and then cut the florets as finely as possible. Don’t use the bigger pieces or the stems.
3. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil and stir the onions in on a medium flame for a couple of minutes. Add the garlic and stir this until the onion starts to colour.
4. Add the broccoli, soy sauce, bean paste, sambal and pepper to taste. Stir everything thoroughly and cook for 1-2 minutes. Then turn the heat off.
5. Boil a pan of water and cover the steam basket with baking paper.
6. Smear your hands with olive oil and divide the dough into little balls of around 70 g. This will make about 10 buns.
7. With your thumb, make a small indentation into each ball and fill it with a large tablespoon of filling. Fold the ball closed, roll it in the palms of your hands and then place it in the basket. Pay attention: they will get bigger as they’re steaming so don’t try to do too many at one time.
In 10 to 15 minutes, the bao buns will be steamed to perfection.
8. Serve with sweet chili sauce. Enjoy!

Choice is clear for face of new $10 bill
Published 8:46 am Tuesday, June 23, 2015
Goodbye, Alexander; hello, Alexandria…or whomever.
Alexander Hamilton, our nation’s very first Secretary of the Treasury (1789-1795), has had his face featured on a $10 bill since 1928.
However, old Alex – well, actually, deceased Alex: he died in 1804 – will soon disappear from the face of a “ten-spot.”
Last week, U.S. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew announced that the $10 bill is the next in line for a complete redesign. He said that Alexander Hamilton’s time has passed and the occasion called for a complete change of face.
Make that change as the face of a woman.
Yep, for the first time since 1891, a female’s face will grace the front of America’s legal tender. The last was former First Lady Martha Washington, who was on a $1 Silver Certificate.
Lew, who by law makes the decision, said the redesigned $10 bill will be in circulation by 2020. I guess it’s no coincidence that 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment being added to the United States Constitution, a law that gave women the right to vote.
Secretary Lew said he must abide by the ages-old criteria when it comes to choosing whose face will stare back at us when we are handing over our hard-earned cash to make a purchase. The lone criterion is that the person chosen must be dead.
Putting a woman’s face on printed currency is a brilliant idea, especially considering it’s the fairer sex who controls the purse strings of a household (well, at least in mine, anyway).
We’ve previously attempted to honor women by placing their faces on America’s money. However, on both occasions, we didn’t take too kindly to that effort – not because of the two women chosen – Susan B. Anthony (whose face was on silver dollars minted from 1979 through 1981, and a second chance that went south in 1999); and Sacagawea, the famous Indian guide who accompanied Lewis and Clark on their expedition (on gold-colored dollar coins in 2000). We didn’t like those newly designed coins because of their size. Dollar coins are typically larger and carry a bit more weight. For some odd reason, the U.S. Treasury at that time opted to mint smaller dollar coins. People were confusing them with nickels.
Now the question is which female will be featured on the new “ten-smack”?
I guess Hillary Clinton and Caitlyn Jenner are out of the question…both for the fact that neither is dead, and in Jenner’s case….well, you know.
Some are favoring Alice Paul, who took the lead on an Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) back in the early 1900’s. Her dream of the ERA never materialized in her lifetime, but in 1920 President Woodrow Wilson backed the passage of the suffrage campaign by women and the 19th Amendment became law.
Others say the redesigned $10 should bear the face of Muriel Siebert, the first woman to own a seat on the New York Stock Exchange; or Sandra Day O’Connor, the first woman to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. There’s also a big push to have either Rosa Parks or Harriet Tubman, both famous for their Civil Rights efforts, on the new “tenner.”
As of June 22, I’m launching an official campaign to have the late Blanche Joyner Bryant (1929 – 2004) featured on the new ten dollar bill. She makes for an ideal candidate….she was born on the most famous financial day of the year (April 15); she served as the longtime bookkeeper at Hill Chevrolet-Pontiac in Murfreesboro; and was the trusted treasurer at Ashley’s Grove Baptist Church for decades.
But, most importantly, she was my mom, and taught me all about the importance of making wise financial choices and saving money.
Mr. Lew, if you need a photo of my mom, contact me by either means shown below.
Cal Bryant is Editor of Roanoke-Chowan Publications. He can be contacted at email@example.com or 252-332-7207.

What is Lock Snapping and How Businesses Can Prevent It
November 29th, 2024
Last updated: November 29th, 2024
Lock snapping is a method of breaking into properties that has become increasingly prevalent in the UK particularly targeting properties with uPVC doors that use euro cylinder locks. Businesses are at significant risk if they rely on similar locking mechanisms for external doors, storage areas, and other points of access.
This blog explores what lock snapping is, why it’s a growing threat to businesses, and how companies can take proactive measures to prevent it.
What is Lock Snapping?
Lock snapping, also known as cylinder snapping, is a method burglars use to gain access to a property by breaking the lock cylinder. Euro cylinder locks, commonly found on many commercial doors, are particularly vulnerable because of their design. The technique involves applying force to the lock cylinder, causing it to snap at a weak point. Once broken, the locking mechanism inside is easily manipulated, allowing intruders to open the door without needing the original key.
This method is alarmingly quick, often taking only a matter of seconds, and requires minimal tools or technical knowledge. There are even tutorials that are easy to find online so it has become an appealing option for opportunistic thieves targeting businesses.
Why is Lock Snapping a Threat to Businesses?
Businesses face unique risks from lock snapping because of the potential losses involved, including theft of valuable goods, equipment, and sensitive data. Any breach can cause operational downtime and increased insurance premiums.
How Businesses Can Prevent Lock Snapping
Preventing lock snapping requires an approach with multiple precautions and monitoring systems. Below are some effective methods businesses can adopt:
1. Upgrade to Anti-Snap Locks
One of the most effective ways to mitigate the specific risk of lock snapping is to upgrade to anti-snap locks. These locks are designed with reinforced mechanisms that prevent the cylinder from snapping, even under force. Look for locks that meet British Standard TS007 (preferably with a three-star rating) or are approved by the Master Locksmiths Association (MLA).
Replacing vulnerable locks with high-security models is a straightforward step that can significantly enhance your business’s protection, and is a simple task that a commercial locksmith can carry out.
2. Install Reinforced Door Hardware
In addition to upgrading locks, reinforce your doors with protective measures such as:
- Cylinder Guards: These are metal plates that encase the lock cylinder, making it harder to grip or snap.
- Security Handles: Designed to withstand force, security handles can provide an extra layer of defence against intruders.
3. Deploy CCTV Systems
A visible CCTV system can serve as both a deterrent and a vital monitoring tool. Position cameras at key entry points to capture clear footage of anyone attempting unauthorised access. Modern CCTV systems offer advanced functions and better quality of footage than ever, enabling business owners or security teams to respond in real time to suspicious activity.
For added effectiveness it may make sense to display signage indicating the presence of CCTV systems. This can dissuade potential burglars by increasing the perceived risk of being caught.
4. Install Alarm Systems
An effective alarm system can alert you immediately if an intruder attempts to breach your premises. Motion-activated alarms, door contact sensors, and glass break detectors are excellent options to consider. Some alarm systems can even be integrated with your CCTV setup, providing a full security network and a whole lot of peace of mind! Keyholding services can also ensure that your business is monitored.
Security is an ongoing process, and businesses should always be vigilant by conducting regular audits and staying informed about emerging threats. With a proactive approach, businesses can reduce the likelihood of a break-in and ensure things like stock and equipment remains secure.
Talk to us today about security methods including business burglar alarm maintenance and servicing and see how we can help you keep your property safe. We also offer an emergency repairs service and 24/7 call-outs in case you need help at short notice.

Luxurious leatherbound photo chronicle of a John and Yoko 'Double Fantasy' session
Spectacular leatherbound photo album created by photographer David M. Spindel, containing his original photographs of John Lennon and Yoko Ono during their 'Double Fantasy' session. The album—one of just three created by Spindel—measures 12.5 x 11.75 and contains 36 photographs taken by Spindel in the autumn of 1980, and developed by him in his NYC darkroom during the early 1980s. The wonderful images show John Lennon singing, strumming his acoustic guitar, and working at the mixing console; portraits of John and Yoko Ono together; and the studio itself. Fabulously presented, this is a unique and comprehensive behind-the-scenes look at John and Yoko in action in the studio. In very fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of provenance signed by Spindel, in part: "This leather bound album contains my original photographs which I personally printed in my darkroom back in New York City in the early 80's. I only produced three albums. I have this one and I gave one to Yoko Ono to show my appreciation for having the opportunity and honor to photograph her and John. It was one of the highlights of my 60 plus years as a photographer." He goes on to note that the third and final album was sold privately many years ago—making this the only one known to be publicly available. Accompanied by Yoko Ono's handwritten thank-you note to Spindel for her version of the photo album, December 15, 2009, in part: "Beautiful work! I'm very impressed. Thank you so much for giving me this very special gift."

There are a dozen rare Crystal Skulls in private and public collections. Some are crystal-clear, others of smoky or coloured quartz. Some are actual human size and of very fine detail, while others are smaller and less refined. All are believed to originate from Mexico and Central America. Many believe these skulls were carved thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago by an ancient Mesoamerican civilization. Others think they may be relics from the legendary island of Atlantis or show proof that extraterrestrials visited the Aztec. These defy scientific efforts and knowledge to determine who made them, when, and most puzzling, how.

When a person experiences an accident resulting from negligence, they may pursue a legal claim with help from a personal injury attorney Indianapolis, IN victims recommend. To take legal action (and reach a successful outcome), victims must tie the evidence to each of the elements associated with a personal injury case. Personal injury cases can range in severity. While some cases may result in impactful injuries, some victims may be left with catastrophic, life-changing damages. It may be challenging to know when seeking legal guidance from our Ward & Ward Law Firm team is in your best interest. Despite this, some instances will make it evident that a legal consultation is in your best interest. Legal consultations are relatively accessible because many attorneys offer them complimentary. Additionally, it’s important to note that many attorneys offer their services on a contingency fee basis, meaning they don’t receive payment unless they reach a favorable outcome for their clients. Hiring an attorney can make a significant difference because they can help achieve the most favorable outcome possible, making them imperative for many victims seeking compensation, justice, and closure.
Key Elements Explained
Several factors are involved when pursuing legal action after an accident that has resulted in damages. As a personal injury attorney people turn to for guidance will share that elements of a personal injury case must not only be present but also will require solid evidence proving each and tying each aspect to the next. Identifying these elements can be challenging for someone who does not practice personal injury law, which is why victims will require an attorney. The following are four key elements that must be present in your case to move forward:
- Duty of Care
- Breach of Duty of Care
- Injuries/Damages Resulted
- Injuries Sustained Were Due To The Breach
Without these elements, the victim’s claim will likely not be strong enough to take legal action against the responsible party. When working with an attorney, they can assist by reviewing the case and gathering the necessary evidence to move forward.
When To Call An Attorney
After an accident, amidst physical injuries, it can be challenging for victims to decide whether they should pursue their case on their own or with help from an attorney. Taking legal action with a legal professional comes at a cost to victims, which is why it’s crucial to determine whether the claim’s value warrants legal help. Cases with more minor damages may not require assistance from a professional, but if any of the following are present, it’s imperative to consider help from an attorney:
- You have been contacted by the insurance adjuster or the defendant’s attorney with an initial settlement offer
- The insurance company denied your claim
- You suffered injuries that resulted in medical expenses, lost wages, and more
- There is more than one liable party involved
- You want to put your recovery first
Seeking compensation after an accident is a complicated and time-consuming process. Recovering from the accident will consume victims with debilitating injuries, and the process of holding the liable party accountable can be an especially trying time. Let our Indianapolis, IN personal injury attorney take the lead so they can build a strong case, gather evidence, and negotiate with the opposing side- so you don’t have to. Learn more about the services Ward & Ward Law Firm offers by contacting them today.

Tales from the score: Deh vieni, non tardar
How-toSusanna’s aria from the final act of Le nozze di Figaro is constantly fascinating. At its simplest, it’s a seductive call into the dark for her lover. Yet, Susanna has planned this tryst with the Countess; they are disguised as each other, hoping to trap the Count in his dirty ways. To complicate things further, Figaro has heard about Susanna’s plans, and Susanna has heard that Figaro has heard. This aria is a layers-thick trick, which Susanna sings to Figaro, making him think she’s singing to the Count (and enjoying it).
So, this aria is all at once a) a lie, b) a true seduction of Figaro, and c) Susanna in disguise. That latter part informs the music, which looks and sounds much more Countess-like than like Susanna. For instance, she gets an extended accompagnato recit, a device largely reserved for noble characters instead of maids:
There’s Classical grace in this opening, very round, very symmetrical. The key belies Susanna’s station a little bit; keys like C, G, and F major are popular picks for Mozart’s soubrettes (think Despina and Zerlina, compared to Fiordiligi and Donna Anna). Yet the accompagnato form makes Susanna speak a little slower than the rapid patter she’s had for much of the opera; she delivers organized, calm thoughts in a collected way. She even uses some lower, Countess-inspired notes to get the infusion of lust into this recit; words like “foco” and “notte” couldn’t be sexier:
Again, Susanna sings a rich woman’s aria in a poor woman’s key. There’s a simple dance rhythm inherent in the 6⁄8 meter, but it’s controlled, not improvisatory or perky. The passing F-sharp in “Vieni ove amore” is just the kind of subtle sexuality that the Countess would infuse in her words; it’s almost as though Susanna is playing dress-up, recalling the few moments of flirtation she heard from the Countess and trying them on herself.
These long “vieni’s” (below) are similar to the Countess’ “Porgi, amor”, and the dramatic difference between the two arias is rich with meaning. For the Countess, those long notes meant yearning and wishing; for Susanna, they’re lures for her lover. Similar, yet very different. The two phrases on “ti vo’ la fronte incoronar” are totally regal and womanly; even the brief moment of coloratura is controlled and thought out.
Finally, the end of this aria is like a very expensive gift, wrapped in an expensive bow. It’s the opposite of showing off, despite the small cadenza Susanna sings on the last “incoronar”. Instead, it’s making her audience (Figaro, the Count, whoever) yearn for more; it’s as if Susanna has just sung the first verse of what could be a hot, hot duet.
This aria is so often sung that we can become immune to its effect in the context of the entire opera. It’s incredibly difficult to play all the musical and dramatic layers when singing the aria alone in an audition or concert. But it can be tons of fun to pretend (to pretend to pretend, really) that Susanna is imagining herself a Real Lady, and finally gets the chance to try it out. It’s very Eliza Doolittle, when you think about it.

The latest round of tit-for-tat tariffs are scheduled to go into effect today, and China canceled its upcoming trade talks with Washington because of it.
The Trump administration has repeatedly threatened high tariffs on Chinese imports, with the country saying that they would always fight back — further escalating the trade war.
Trade talks are unable to take place under the threat of tariffs, Bloomberg reports. If additional duties continue, it could only hurt the world economy. Economists have already downgraded world growth forecast for 2019 by 0.1 percent.
China's retaliatory tariffs are expected to go into effect today as well, a move that Trump has said would add new duties on additional $267 billion in Chinese imports, Bloomberg reports. If the Trump administration follows through with the threat, U.S. tariffs would cover all goods the nation imported from China last year, effecting supply chains of multinational companies.
Trade talks were expected to take place later this week, but China canceled on Saturday, having sources to believe that negotiations could only take place after mid-term elections, Bloomberg reports. However, the U.S. is open to talks. In a statement Lindsay Walters, deputy White House press secretary says, "President Trump has an excellent relationship with President Xi and our teams have been in frequent communication since President Trump took office. We remain open to continuing discussions with China, but China must meaningfully engage on the unfair trading practices."

Remota is a joint venture between Deep Ocean, Solstad Offshore and Østensjø Group, set up to fast-track the adoption of remotely managed services in order to drive down operating costs and emissions for the marine and offshore industries.
Seam is a leading supplier of zero-emission solutions to the maritime industry
The three companies intend to build on Remota’s already established control center for marine and semi-autonomous vessel operations, and further develop this to include control of autonomous operations.
Through a joint control center environment, the parties want to share experiences, collaborate on technological solutions, promote standardization and utilize cross-functional synergies that benefit Norled and its customers, Remota and Seam.
“We have many vessels and crossings that we would like to make more autonomous in order to increase safety and efficiency for our passengers and crew. Already back in 2001 we performed our first pilot for auto crossing and auto docking, and we will this year start our third pilot. Autonomous navigation is taking the technology to the next level and we are excited to join forces with our partners SEAM and Remota to do so, says Erlend Hovland, chief technology officer at Norled.
Norled AS is one of Norway's largest ferry and express boat operators. The company has over 70 vessels and operates ferry and express boat services from the Oslofjord to Troms County. Norled has invested significantly in new types of vessels and eco-friendly technology, such as the world’s first electrical ferry in 2015 and the world’s first vessel running on liquid hydrogen in 2023.
Remote operations for maritime operations
“We are firm believers in competency transfer between different industries. We have extensive experience from remote operations from the offshore oil and gas industry. Both the technology and competence can be transferred to operation of car and passenger ferries, but we need innovative operators such as Norled to pave the way for this development. The ultimate benefit is substantial cost savings and smaller environmental footprint from vessel operations,” says Sveinung Soma, CEO of Remota.
Remota owns and operates advanced onshore Remote Operations Centers (ROCs), which are key to unlocking huge emission reductions and cost savings from the marine and offshore industries. Today, the ROCs operate remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and underwater drones for the subsea oil and gas industry.
However, Remota’s intention has always been to expand its service offering to other industries including offering remote operations and semi-autonomous maritime services to existing vessels. The collaboration with Norled and Seam will help fast-track this development.
Zero emission solutions
As well as advanced automation, SEAM delivers complete zero-emission products to a significant part of the Norwegian shuttle ferry market.
Resent research and development together with ongoing projects on hydrogen, ammonia and other hybrid solutions towards new advanced and greener shipping demands, have put SEAM in a leading position with regard to power management for new technologies.
SEAM has put a large number of hours and resources to achieve digitalization and platforms for the purpose to become an open integrator for the industry.
As a power and automation integrator, it’s natural for SEAM to deliver autonomous systems as a part of the package and it’s important to be a part of a community that's pulling in the same direction. SEAM's role within this agreement is to be the system integrator and technology supplier.
“This is a very exciting and innovative development project, which will enable a possible generational shift for vessel operations. We are incredibly proud to take part in this exciting collaboration with Remota and Norled,” says CEO at SEAM, Gunvald Mortvedt.
The LOI between the three parties was signed today at the Nor-Shipping 2023 industry event at Lillestrøm, outside Oslo, Norway.

We’re so thrilled to be able to curate this A Place To Bury Strangers remix record Re-Pinned. Its got such a cool mix of bands we’re friends and fans of and musicians we’ve loved for years. When you really look at it, having Slowdive, No Age, METZ, Eric Copeland of Black Dice and Trentmøller all on one album, really helps paint of picture of where this album descended from and is a nice combination of our peers and influences.
The three remixes of Never Coming Back are all incredible in their own way and take the song to to such different places. Each remix sounds like completely different and realized songs. Trentmøller’s sounds like a bliss-laden soundtrack, Eric Copeland's, a deconstructed slink buffet and Roly Porter’s, a minimalist drone slam.
It is also such a dream come true and an honor to have our label mates Slowdive remix “Frustrated Operator".

Chestnut invited to join Alabama Law Institute’s Judicial Article Committee
Published 4:59 pm Tuesday, November 26, 2019
Alabama Rep. Prince Chestnut, D-Selma, was recently invited to join the Alabama Law Institute’s Judicial Article Study Committee, which studies and recommends reforms to the Alabama Legislature aimed at improving the state’s judicial branch.
Additionally, the committee serves in an advisory capacity for legislation affecting the judicial branch of government.
“This will be a great opportunity for me to examine, review and even edit proposed bills that concern judicial administration, due process, substantive rights of citizens and the judicial process in general,” Chestnut said. “This is not only relevant to the constituents of District 67, but also relevant to all Alabamians because public safety and criminal justice affects each and every one of us. This adds to my already incredible workload; however, the opportunity to be engaged at several stages and levels of the process is one that I could not deny.”
Chestnut stated that his invitation was due in large part to his work during the Alabama Legislature’s 2019 Legislative Session, in which he successfully pushed through legislation dealing with the Administrative Director of Courts and the Judicial Inquiry Commission.
Clay Hornsby, Deputy Director of the Alabama Law Institute at the University of Alabama School of Law cited Chestnut’s “talent and experience” as essential to the group’s deliberations and study.
Chestnut said the committee will begin meeting on a monthly or “semi-monthly” basis beginning in January.

Members: Michael Sele (words & music, vocals, guitars, keyboards, programming) Andi Zuber(bass) Mac Vinzens (drums) Ariel Rossi (guitars). On AT THE END OF THE SEA, their third long player, THE BEAUTY OF GEMINA have chosen an itinerary which is loaded by far more rock elements, placing an emphasis on powerful guitar sounds stirred with a shot of gloomy electro sounds thus displaying an almost inexhaustible spectrum of expressive melodies and compositional refinement. With both DIARY OF A LOST (2007) and A STRANGER TO TEARS (2008), their prior albums, the band lead by its charismatic singer and songwriter Michael Sele conquered the international rock and wave scene by storm. Likewise in its still young band career it has achieved numerous successes, among which a number 1 hit in the Gothic Global Charts, an 8 week placement in the German Alternative Charts (DAC), giving acclaimed concerts in England, Germany, The Netherlands, Switzerland and Austria, playing as supporting act for The Smashing Pumpkins at the Hallenstadion in Zurich, the biggest concert hall in Switzerland.

Star Plus’s most popular serial Kasauti Zindagi Kay 2 (KZK 2) is ready for the high voltage drama with Mr. Rishabh Bajaj re-entry and a new leap twist in the upcoming storyline.
So far we have seen Anurag decided to re-marry Prerna and will accept her child Sneha as well.
But as we know Anurag is playing a game with Prerna and is doing all this with hidden intentions.
Later as per the promo shown, Anurag will try to kill Prerna by pushing her from the Howrah bridge.
But luckily Mr. Bajaj will make a heroic entry to save Prerna from a river and he will succeed in it.
Prerna gets shocked seeing Mr. Bajaj alive and is also shattered that Anurag had betrayed her and tried to kill her.
Mr. Bajaj will also reveal what other things Anurag did with Prerna and he just cheated her.
Mr. Bajaj-Prerna to live life in London-Leap ahead
Later Mr. Bajaj and Prerna will get another shocking news that Komolika sent Sneha in an orphanage.
The couple will rush towards the orphanage where they will get shattered seeing the orphanage burning and will get the news that Sneha is no more.
Prerna is totally devastated hearing this and she tries to kill herself but Mr. Bajaj will stop her and requests her to live with him in London with his daughter Kuki.
Now it seems like if Prerna will shift to London then we will see a leap of some years in the storyline.
Now it would be really enthralling to see whether Sneha is alive or not and whether Prerna will shift to London with Mr. Bajaj leaving all her memories or not.

As the war in Ukraine reaches the one-year mark this month, we pray we will never forget praying for our brothers and sisters in Christ who are still struggling to survive the great atrocities of battle.
Due to constant shelling and missile attacks, many Ukrainians are forced to live in their cellars — and some like SGA-supported Pastor Myhaylo have been hiding in theirs for most of the war.
It is hard to imagine this kind of existence, but we know that God has not forgotten our brothers and sisters in Christ. He is remembering them through the generosity of believers like you have who given through SGA’s Ukraine Heat and Hope Campaign to provide life-saving winter relief supplies including simple stoves. This emergency aid has helped not only pastors in our church network, but suffering Ukrainians in their community as well.
In messages that correspond with videos sent from Myhaylo, as well as Pastor Roman, you can see how these stoves are not only warming cellars, but also hearts to the love of Christ in action. Please watch . . .
We live two kilometers away from the front lines and our area is under constant shelling. This is where we mostly live in the cellar. It’s very cold here. We have been hiding here since May 2. We are very grateful to SGA, to all brothers and sisters who are always in a hurry to help people like us. We thank you for the wonderful stove we can warm ourselves with and cook our food on. We are now warm and comfortable and here we will be waiting for the victory, here we will be praying for you, for your compassionate, kind hearts. Here we pray for our families to be safe and well! Thank you for your help and may God bless you!
Grace and peace to you, my friends!
On these videos I wanted to show you in what circumstances these people live, and they’ve been so grateful to you ALL, who helped with the stoves! The lady on the first video got the stove on January 27, and she tells how it was cold in the basement as there is no heating at all and now they will be warm enough with the stove. Thank you!
Second video—came there to install the stove for this lady. A Christian brother explained to the lady how to use the stove. She says: “Thank you, thank you so much! We try to survive here. My house was destroyed, my neighbor was killed.” She couldn’t stop thanking us for coming. People there still live in cellars.”
In a time of great uncertainty, God is bringing help, healing, and hope to the people of Ukraine through SGA-supported pastors, churches, a seminary, and SGA-sponsored Compassion Ministry. Be a part of God’s incredible work with your generosity and prayer support.
Your gift of compassion helps struggling people with emergency aid that generally includes Scripture materials, food, medicine, warm clothing, and shoes.

Hegel’s theory of state leads us to another important conclusion. Because only the state knows what is in individual’s interest and because the state is always infallible and because the state is divine, therefore, the individuals have no rights outside the state on against the state because state itself is the fountain of rights. Freedom of the individual lies in the complete obedience of the laws of the state.
It is only as an obedient citizen with the universal. In other words, state is a super-organism in which no one has any individual preferences different from those of the larger unit. Thus, one aspect of Hegel s philosophy which is of greatest significance is the exaltation of the state and complete negation of the individual’s, rights and freedoms. Real freedom of the individual can be realised only in the state. The only way for the individual to be free is to willingly obey the laws of the state.
In a subtle sense, Hegel’s position on the question of relationship between state and individual is very close to Rousseau’s position. We will recall that Rousseau had argued that each individual has two wills actual will which is selfish and the real will which is rational Freedom in Rousseau’s philosophy means subordination of actual wills to the real wills (the General will).
In the same way, in Hegel’s philosophy, the individual is free only if he identifies himself. Consciously with the laws of the state. Because the state for Hegel is infallible and because it can never be wrong therefore, if there is ever a conflict between individual and the state, the individual is always wrong and the state is always right. It is also interesting to compare Hegel’s position with the position of Hobbes on this (relation between the individual and the state).
Hegel maintains that individuals have no right to resist the state or disobey the commands of the state. To take an analogy just as parts of human body cannot revolt against the body in the same way the individuals cannot revolt against the state. Given this position of Hegel we can say that the Hegelian state is like the Hobbesian Leviathan in new garb.
In fact, in Hegel the position of state vis-a-vis the individual is more exalted than in Hobbes at least grants to the individual the right to revolt against the state if the state fails to protect his life.
The individuals in the Hobbesian social contract agreed to submit themselves to the state in the hope that it (state) will ensure safety of their life and property. If the state (or the sovereign) is unable to do so then the individuals have the inherent right to refuse to obey the sovereign.
However, Hegel does not grant any such right to the individual. This is so because the state for Hegel is the embodiment of reason and individual are the product of the state. In same sense the relationship between, while in Hobbes it remains a mechanical relationship based on contract.

Toru Dutt was born in March 1856, in Calcutta as the third daughter of Govin Chunder Dutt. The Dutt family was a family of distinguished intellectuals and poets and Toru had the double advantage of a wealthy parentage and an intellectual and cultural inheritance of a high order. She had also had the advantages of being taught by excellent English tutors at home and later on of long stay in Europe and England where she was fully exposed to the languages and cultures of both the countries.
The Dutts and their children Abju, Aru and Toru were baptised in the Christ Church, Cornwallis Square Calcutta, but Toru’s mother continued to be a pious Hindu under whose influence Toru acquired all her knowledge of Indian legends and puranas and also learnt to respect all that was good and great in the Hindu religion and culture.
In fact, Toru, with all her exposure to and involvement in Western life and culture, loved the land of her birth and remained thoroughly Indian in her consciousness and sensibility.
Toru, like her brother and sister, was destined to die young, for she died in 1876 when she was twenty-one. Like Keats she was a poet of unfulfilled renown and while one keeps wondering what her achievement would have been had she lived longer, one cannot but be struck by the quality of the works she has left behind both in verse and prose.
Besides her well-known collection of poems with the title Ancient Ballads and Legends of Hindustan (1882) she has to her credit a volume of poems in French entitled Sheaf Gleaned in French Fields (1875) a novel in French Le Journal de Mademoiselle d’ Avers (1879) and an unfinished novel in English, Bianca, or The Spanish Maiden which appeared as a serial in the Bengal Magazine between January 1878 and April 1878.
Our Casuarina Tree, the most well-known of Toru’s poems was included in her ‘Miscellaneous Poems’ published at the end of the Ballads. Considered as the most revealing of Toru’s verses with its nostalgia for the past and an ‘inner vision’ of sublime beauty, this poem has been praised by E.G. Thomas as ‘surely the most remarkable poem ever written in English by a foreigner’. The poem comprises five eleven-line stanzas with the rhyme scheme abba, cddc eee and both in the evolution of thought and the organisation of the stanzas and the lines, the poem has several links with Keats’s Ode to a Nightingale echoes of which are heard in many parts of the poem.
The first stanza presents an objective description of the tree which is pictured as a giant wearing the huge scarf of a python-like creeper holding him in his tight but blossomy embrace. The next stanza describes the narrator’s enjoyment of the sight of the tree at different hours of the day while the third stanza recalls many tender memories of her past, especially the childhood days spent with her sister and brother. The fourth stanza which takes the form of an apostrophe to the tree is a kind of lament, a human recordation of pain and regret. The last stanza, like that of Keats’s “Ode to a Nightingale” is a tribute to the immortality of the tree.

To make the most of any opportunity, try to be in moment.
Be conscious of this today - how often does your mind drift to another place? When you notice it happen, come back to the moment you're in - you're there for a reason.
I've realised that I have to make an effort to be in the moment e.g. during long meetings indoors...but I don't have to make any effort to be in the moment when I'm in nature. This picture was from a family day, we were having fun walking, running, climbing, jumping and admiring beautiful views. I was so in the moment that this was the only picture I took.

As a portrait photographer, CineStill 400D is the best film stock for portraits and street lifestyles, particularly when pitted against the popular Portra 400.
Long ago, the 400 ISO color negative film game was overwhelmingly led by Portra 400 from Kodak. Lomography 400, Fuji Superia, and Ultramax were all present, yet the trend-setting photographers championed the 400-speed Portra series - until CineStill unveiled their 400D.
In the summer of 2022, CineStill announced and released a new color-negative film: CineStill 400 Dynamic, a fine-grain, daylight-balanced film stock with a 400 ISO box speed.
CineStill is also known for its 800T and 50D film stocks, which were motion picture film stock with the ramjet layer removed. According to their website, CineStill states 400D is an entirely new film formula that has never existed before. It is available in 35mm and 120 films and is C-41 processed.
The moment I heard about CineStill 400D, I was pumped. Reviews from my favorite photographers only confirmed what the first images revealed: this film had an unprecedented, captivating quality. I couldn't wait to get my hands on it — and finally, in October, I spotted it in NYC film labs.

A ponderously slow decision by the Irish Government to finally embrace a 21st-century technology called TETRA (terrestrial trunk radio) to support Ireland’s underequipped emergency services has finally been made.
A consortium including Eircom, Motorola and Sigma Wireless has been awarded an eight-year, ‘build-own-operate’ nationwide contract.
TETRA is a technology that has been in use for some years now by police forces and emergency services around the world. However, after many false starts over the technology – which allows secure wireless voice and data transmission between officers – a decision has been made.
Rollout will begin at Dublin Port and Dublin Airport and a nationwide rollout will be completed in two years.
The beleaguered services that will be supported with the new network will be the Gardaí, the Ambulance Service, the Prison Services, the Fire Service and the Customs Service.
“The Government and I have consistently given our commitment that An Garda Síochána will receive every necessary support to enable them to operate effectively as a modern police force,” the Minister for Justice Equality and Law Reform, Dermot Ahern TD, said welcoming the new contract which was finally announced by the consortium at the TETRA World Congress in Hong Kong yesterday.
So far €100m has been provided for the Gardaí in terms of technology to bring the force into the 21st century.
The new technology will mean the Guards will finally have an encrypted radio network, free from the prying ears of armed, moneyed and technologically sophisticated criminals.
The provision of the new digital radio service for the force is a significant landmark in delivering on that promise. Almost €100m has been provided for Garda technology-related projects this year alone and this includes significant financial provision for the new radio service.
Officers will be issued with multi-functional handsets that can operate as digital radios and provide access to other public communication networks
The network will allow for GPS location tracking applications such as automatic vehicle location and mobile data services
It will enable secure nationwide inter-communication between all non-commercial public sector bodies, as well as cross-border and cross-band capability providing compatibility with international networks.
Motorola has delivered TETRA solutions to over 350 customers across 75 countries, in both public safety and commercial environments.

At the center of this not-so-warm-and-fuzzy arrangement is Rob Wilco, a single, mild-mannered ad exec. Bucky is Rob's temperamental, buck-toothed Siamese cat with a penchant for mischief, a hatred of ferrets, and a love of rubber bands. Satchel is a sweet but naive shar-pei-yellow-Lab mix who haplessly ends up on the receiving end of Bucky's wayward schemes. An entertaining critique on popular culture and a bona fide hit,
Get Fuzzy was named Best Comic Strip of the year in 2002 by the National Cartoonists Society and now appears in more than 400 newspapers worldwide.

Last week, the year 7/8 squad participated in an exciting rounders tournament, competing with determination and team spirit against Kelvin, St Mary’s Red, St Mary’s Blue and Boulevard. Throughout the event, the team displayed impressive effort and teamwork.
Finishing 4th place, the Year 7/8 squad exhibited resilience and determination. The tournament provided a valuable learning experience, highlighting both strengths and areas of improvement. For many students, this was their first experience competing against other schools. The players demonstrated their potential and are motivated to build on this experience for future tournaments.
Lilly H was player of the match for her outstanding bowling skills. Competing in a year 8 tournament, she rose to the challenge, consistently preventing the opposition from scoring off her throws. After a little wobble, Lilly showed remarkable resilience and solidified her role as Key player for the team.
Congratulations to all the students for their hard work and dedication to training. We look forward to seeing continued growth and success in upcoming competitions.

Casinos have always been locations of enthusiasm, enjoyment, and opportunity. One never knows just how much they will stroll out with, since there are just loads of potential to explore.
The only trouble is, they are not the most convenient places to get to. Certainly, you could go to the local Casino down the lane, but the adventure of the famous casinos from Las Vegas and Atlantic City is just something different. However, not everyone lives in Las Vegas. So what to do?
This is when online casinos come to your rescue. These casinos provide a wonderful opportunity for all those would be gamblers. The internet provides you an opportunity to access the casinos online from the comfort of your own home. This probably is the best reason to choose online casinos over brick and mortar casinos.
The internet has changed almost everything, from the way we obtain opinions to the way we talk. Now you can participate in many different casino games, and with many more players than you perhaps could have in a traditional Brick and Mortar Casino.
Online casinos are no different from the traditional ones. You can play all the games of the traditional casinos in the online one. These games are played just the same way that you would usually; except for the fact that now you can play in your night dress without even leaving home!
Online Casinos are very easy to access. They run completely in any internet browser, and only require minimal installation. You don’t have to download anything at all. With the advent of superior graphics on the internet, online casino websites give the impact of real casinos.
If you are using an old computer that does not support graphics much, then you can also use the simple version of casino games. These games come with lesser or no heavy graphics and animations.
Online casinos also offer downloadable casino games. These games can actually be downloaded onto your desktop.
The biggest benefit online casinos give you is that you don’t need to carry cash in your pocket. You can play at an online casino even if you don’t have a single penny in your pocket. As long as you have a credit/debit card you can play to your hearts content.
Online Casinos use the best software from famous companies that have guaranteed randomization, thus the game is always fair. Online casinos also undergo regular audits and post their audit reports on their websites regularly. This helps ensure a sense of fairness and security amongst the players.
Almost any game that you can play in a traditional brick and mortar casino can be played in online casinos. Online casinos are much more fun then the traditional casinos because they have a feeling of ease and diversity linked with them.
It doesn’t matter if you are a novice or seasonal expert, online casinos have packages of excitement for almost everyone. All you need to do is switch on your computer, log on to the internet, type the address of your favorite online casino in your browser and start gambling!

Scottish Milk and Healthy Snack Scheme
Purpose of the scheme
Under the scheme, eligible childcare providers – those providing pre-school day care (including childminders), who are registered with the Care Inspectorate and registered with the local authority for the new scheme will receive funding via the local authority to enable children in receipt of 2 hours or more childcare in the day to be provided with:
- 189mls (1/3 pint)* of plain fresh cow’s milk (whole milk for children over 1 year or to include semi-skimmed milk for children over 2 years), or first infant formula (for children under 12 months); or
- 189mls (1/3 pints)* of plain fresh goat or sheep milk (whole milk for children over 1 year or to include semi-skimmed milk for children over 2 years);
- Or specified unsweetened calcium- enriched non-dairy alternatives (excluding rice milk) for those children over 12 months who cannot consume cow’s milk because of medical, ethical or religious reasons;
- and for those aged 6 months and over, a healthy snack item (a portion of fresh fruit or vegetables) meeting the portion requirements.
- Alternatively, a 200ml container may be provided where the item is commonly supplied in individual portions of this size.
The ambition is for as many as possible of the eligible children attending regulated pre-school day care settings for 2 hours or more to be receiving milk (or alternative) and a healthy snack, and to be acquiring healthy eating habits for the future.
How does it work
The Scottish Government will provide funding to local authorities to administer and deliver the scheme.
Eligible (regulated) pre-school day care settings including childminders, wishing to participate in the Milk and Healthy Snack Scheme must register with their local authority to become a member of the scheme, providing data about the number of children who attend and the anticipated volume of provision (anticipated number of servings of milk and snack to be provided). For this policy there is no differentiation between ELC funded and unfunded settings.
Local authorities will establish local registration schemes and will calculate and make arrangements for upfront payments to registered settings, based on the number of servings to be provided. Settings registering after the deadline for 1 August payments (“in-year registration) will receive payments within 4 weeks of registration, backdated to the date of registration.
Settings will use the funding provided by the local authority to purchase the necessary volume of milk and healthy snacks (which must conform with the requirements of the Scheme – cow’s milk or an alternative and fresh fruit or vegetables). Settings are encouraged to source milk, fruit and vegetables locally as part of our ambition to improve access to, and understanding of, the benefits of healthy local foods.
While children who cannot consume cow’s milk for health, religious or ethical reasons may be offered a specified alternative; it is noted that these alternatives do not offer the same nutritional benefit as cow’s milk and should not therefore be regarded as equivalent.
Settings will be asked to retain their proof of purchases which may be subject to occasional audit.
The Scottish Government and COSLA will agree light-touch monitoring arrangements for the policy and will review the overall arrangements in advance of year 2 in case any adjustments are required. It is envisaged that by the end of year 2 (end July 2023) the new approach will be fully embedded.
How to register for the scheme
Registration for the scheme for session 2021/22 is now closed.
Details of how to register for 2022/23 will be available soon.
Following guidance from Scottish Government the Local Serving Rate for the Scheme year 1 (1 August 2021 – 31 July 2022) will be:
- 19.1p per serving of milk or specified alterative
- 17p per serving of healthy snack (fruit or vegetable)
- Total Local Serving Rate = 36.1p per serving
Settings must inform the local authority if their circumstances change significantly and it is recommended this should be done within a month of the change occurring.
As with any public spending there is a requirement for South Lanarkshire Council to provide information to Scottish Government on funding allocated.
Under the Scheme there will not be a requirement for settings to provide proof of purchase i.e. receipts, invoices, contracts although they will be asked to retain these, in case they should be selected for monitoring purposes.

Sphera completed the lighting design and supply of the multi-purpose meeting and conference areas at Alphington Grammar School. Working with the straight, rectangular and square lines of this modern space, the Sphera Linea, the Nastro Strip and the Nora Wall Light work impeccably well. Furthermore, to extend the excellent levels of light uniformity to the walkways, passage ways, bench ares and amenity areas, the performing LEDA downlight and Binario track light were installed as the premier choice of products. When you head out to the exterior benches and decking area, you will find the Nastro strip neatly installed to clearly define the walkways that bring these two timber structures together. Using the most advanced LED technology, Dali dimmable controls and high-performing low-glare diffusers, the lighting solution provides great levels of lighting performance. These can be adjusted to suit the flexible use of this multi purpose space and enhance Sphera lighting’s reputation as a dynamic and architecturally focused provider of leading LED lighting products.

It’s a new year and for the vast majority of us, it’s time to wave goodbye to the festive season and strap in for another year of hard work. But as members of the Hospitality industry, we here at Hog Roast Skipton know all too well that Christmas for some, is not a time of relaxation, but a time when we’re called into work twice as often, and have to work doubly as hard. Of course our professional teams such as the marvellous Hog Roast Skipton crew, take to this challenge like a duck to water, and are all too willing to help make Christmas special for others. But if you and your co-workers were unable to celebrate this year because the schedule was too hectic, then just remember it’s never too late to celebrate, and a mid- January Christmas party may be just the thing.
The team at Hog Roast Skipton were responsible for many corporate events over the Christmas period and one of them was at Gaist Solutions. For over ten years, Gaist has been researching and developing systems that provide high quality survey data that is specifically designed to meet the demands of whole of life Highways asset management. We were contacted by Jenny, who selected the Full Festive Menu, with an option of Portobello Mushroom and a Halloumi burger for vegetarians, and a special requirement of Gluten free bread rolls.
It was a twelve noon serving time on the day of the event, by which time our chef Jon had roasted the Turkeys to a wonderfully golden hue. Our 35 guests were to be fed like royalty this lunch time. The meat was served in accompaniment with the Homemade Cauliflower Cheese, a seasonal Vegetable Medley and homemade gravy. Of course no festive menu would be complete without Pigs in Blankets, or the crispy Roast Potatoes with light, fluffy innards. The remarkable Christmas roasts were served on our high quality wooden crockery that came with disposable napkins. After our guests were fed and had let their stomachs rest, Jon brought out the Mince Pies, served with warm Brandy cream, to make them that little bit sweeter.
The team at Gaist were thankful to Jon for all the wonderful food and service he had provided. Representing the team at Hog Roast Skipton well, he discreetly cleared up after himself and disposed of any waste off site.

Fabio Coentrao will be the best Left Back in the World – Atletico Madrid’s Silvio
Atletico defender has praised his former Rio Ave teammate Fabio Coentrao by saying that he has the potential to become one of the game’s best wingbacks.
“He is a spectacular player. I hope he moves to Real Madrid [so I can] face him in Spain. He is the best left-back in Portugal and he will surely be the best one in the world.”
“I do not understand how he has not been at one of the best clubs in Europe for a long time.”
“If he moves to Real Madrid, he will wind up being considered the best player in his position for many years,” said Silvio.
Coentrao started his career with the youth team of Rio Ave, before making his way up the pecking order and becoming a first team regular. His glittering performances in the 2006/2007 earned him the Breakthrough Player Award and later a move to Benfica.
Initially he was loaned out to three clubs Real Zaragoza, Nacional and his former club Rio Ave, before his establishment in the first team at the Estadio do Luz in the 2010/2011 season. He also appeared at the 2010 FIFA World Cup with Portuguese National
By this time his stock had been raised significantly, and the Benfica Hierarchy added a €30 million buyout clause to his current contract, which runs tills 2016.
And according to reports, Real Madrid are on the trail of the Selecao International and are looking to unite him with International Teammates Ricardo Carvalho and Cristiano Ronaldo at the Bernabeu. Portugal Captain Ronaldo was also full of praise for the
23-year-old and said that he would be an excellent signing for Los Blancos.
But the move was recently waived by the Lisbon outfit, as Real were unwilling to match their evaluation of the player and the club officials were exercising legal action against Coentrao, for making his desire to play for the Whites publicly known.
But this has not deterred the Spanish giants, who are keen to add some much needed depth to their squad and will go to extreme lengths to acquire the talented youngster. The Madrid based club are reportedly making a players plus cash deal, which would see
Ezequiel Garay and Pablo Sarabia move to Portugal.
Coentrao’s style of play has been likened to that of Bayern Munich Ace Arjen Robben due to his explosive runs and shooting, but his defensive capabilities makes him a wingback, a position, which has been best portrayed by former Brazilian International Roberto
Carlos in recent times.
But given his young age and his undoubted potential, Fabio Coentrao definitely has the ability to make it at the highest stage.

A 36-year-old woman held her 3-year-old boy over the edge of a bridge connecting Duluth and Superior, Wis., prompting the span's closure until officers brought them to safety, police said Monday.
The incident occurred about 12:20 a.m. Sunday on the Wisconsin side of the Blatnik Bridge, which carries Interstate 535 and U.S. Hwy. 53.
The Duluth woman was taken to St. Luke's Hospital in Duluth for a mental health evaluation, Superior police said. The child was released to a grandparent.
When officers responded to a witness' call to 911, the woman was in her car and stopped in a Superior-bound lane of the bridge, and her son was in the backseat.
The 1.5-mile-long bridge, which rises up to 120 feet over St. Louis Bay, was closed to traffic until the woman, her child and the car were brought off safely and without incident.

Navi Mumbai International Airport welcomes first aircraft
Airport, which will start operations in early 2025, is likely to handle 800,000 tonnes of cargo in its initial phase.
In a landmark moment for the Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA; Airport Code: NMI), an Indian Air Force (IAF) aircraft successfully touched down on its South runway.
The inaugural landing of the IAF C-295, a large multi-role tactical airlifter, represents a milestone in Adani Group’s development of the greenfield international airport, which started in August 2021 during the pandemic and is scheduled to be operational in early 2025, says an official release.
“We are proud of the progress NMIAL has made,” says Jeet Adani, Director, Adani Airport Holdings. “As AAHL’s first greenfield airport, NMIAL represents years of planning, investment and hard work. We are grateful to the Government of Maharashtra, the regulatory bodies including CIDCO and Airports Authority of India and all the other stakeholders who have come together to make this project possible. This world-class airport will play a pivotal role in the region’s growth, serving as a crucial hub for travellers across the globe."
The event was attended by dignitaries including Eknath Shinde, Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Devendra Fadnavis, Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Murlidhar Mohol, Minister of State for Civil Aviation and Co-operation and senior officials from NMIAL and AAHL.
"The inaugural landing is not just a symbolic gesture but a critical milestone in the airport's journey from construction to full-scale operations. The successful touchdown of the IAF C-295 marks an essential phase where the newly built runway, taxiways, air traffic control systems and handling procedures are put to the test to ensure that the airport meets all safety, regulatory and operational requirements. It allows engineers, aviation authorities and airport operators to evaluate the performance and readiness of key infrastructure and signifies that the airport is on track to complete its final stages of development, paving the way for phased commercial operations set to begin in early 2025."
The airport will ultimately have a capacity to handle 90 million passengers per annum and 800,000 tonnes of cargo in its initial phase, the release added.

The St. Croix National Scenic Riverway plans to burn numerous brush piles in the Riverway corridor from January 24 – March 31 depending on weather conditions. The National Park Service (NPS) is conducting these burns to improve prairie, savanna, and forest habitat along the St. Croix and Namekagon rivers.
The areas where piles are to be burned are:
- Arcola; located in Washington County, four miles north of Stillwater, Minnesota. The site has 24 piles and is being restored to prairie and oak savanna.
- Bursch Restoration Site; located in St. Croix County, four miles southwest of Somerset, Wisconsin. The site has 12 piles and is being restored to mixed hardwood forest.
- Eagles Nest Campground; located in Chisago County, four miles southwest of Taylor Falls, Minnesota. The site has two piles that were created as a result of hazardous fuel removal for structure protection.
- Fairy Falls; located in Washington County, one and one-half miles north of Stillwater, Minnesota. This site has approximately 20 piles and it is being restored to mixed hardwood forest and oak savanna.
- Osceola Glade; located in Polk County, two miles west of Dresser, Wisconsin. This site has approximately 10 piles. The area is being restored to oak savanna.
- Rice Lake Flats; located in St. Croix County, five miles northwest of Somerset, Wisconsin. This site has approximately 16 piles. The area is being restored to oak savanna and prairie.
The NPS has developed detailed plans for pile burning and the fires are carried out by trained and certified personnel. The plans address temperature, relative humidity, wind, and other conditions under which a burn can take place, protection of adjacent properties, communications, needed manpower and equipment, safety, and other considerations.
The piles will be burned while surrounding vegetation is not flammable. If conditions are not favorable on the day when burning is planned or while piles are still hot, the burn will be rescheduled or piles may be extinguished. The St. Croix National Scenic Riverway’s Fire Management Plan is available upon request.
For additional information or to request a copy of the Fire Management Plan, contact the St. Croix River Visitor Center in St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin, at 715-483-2274 or firstname.lastname@example.org.

As we enter our last week of operation on Buffalo Pass and get closer to the end of the 2018/2019 season altogether, we start to look ahead and plan our off season adventures. Whether you’re carrying on the season stoke and gearing up for some spring ski-touring missions, skipping town for some desert mountain biking, or finishing your resort season strong by skiing until the last day, we’ve all got to dump this new season excitement somewhere!
Don’t sleep on your plans! Plan something, get excited about it, then do it right in celebration of Mud Season!! WooHoo!

Patience Is A Virtue Well, our patience paid off as the weather turned around making the skiing on Buffalo Pass as epic [...]
Well folks, after a wild ride of a season (and year), we enjoyed our last day of powdercattin' with some wintery weather and 9" inches of fresh with some more throughout the day for some free refills!! We had our fingers crossed for some soft landings on the last day and we were happily surprised when we took our first turns this morning.
Since we last wrote, we had just lived through one of the driest January's that we have dealt with. Not only was COVID stressing our system but the lack of snow was painful, to say the least. We were forced to close operations for two and a half weeks in mid-January and the dream of skiing powder was just that, a dream.
Yesterday we kicked off our 38th season of operation with lots of excitement, gratitude, and Colorado's classic blue bird skies! After continuous planning and adjusting of our day-to-day to match Covid-19 guidelines so our guests and guides can feel safe while skiing powder, it has finally paid off and we couldn't be happier to be floatin' on the freshies once again!
After a week of hot pow and bluebird melting, we are back in the snow cycle again. We prefer it this way as the uncertainty of snow quality freaks us out as we have become accustomed to fresh snow, clean lines and iconic Steamboat powder. With 7" of snow over the last 2 days and a forecast for snow for the next week, sort of, we are blessed to be on Mother Nature's good side. Not that sunshine, t-shirts and blue skies aren't nice, it's just that we know what we get when it is snowing.
Multiple times today and yesterday we heard from our guests that the experience with us was their best day of powder skiing or snowboarding EVER. Several of these rippers are powder snobs who have chased this liquid gold all over the globe. Be it Japan, Canada, Utah, Europe or other powder snow mecca's, it was this experience here with us that tipped them over the edge and convinced them to profess to us and their team that this was their BEST DAY EVER.
After yesterday's 26" in 24-hr snowfall and a 38" in the past 36-hours pounding, we have been reflecting on the significance of this powder filled season and the historic reality that we are living in. As powder junkies we live for the moment and relish in the now. When we get fresh snow, even a few inches, life is good. But when we get snow like we have this season, we are all smiles and perfectly happy to know that we are living our dream. To put what is happening into a historical perspective, sit and spin on some of these statistics:
My, oh, my, what a wonderful day. Plenty of sunshine headin' our way. Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay! Mister Bluebird's on our shoulder. It's the truth, it's amazing Everybody was fantastic Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay Wonderful feeling, wonderful day!
Powder days make our world spin round and round. Without it, out lives would be hard packed, bumped out and much less glorious. After yesterday and todays storm, the powders were fresh and deep and all up in our way. A 10" layer of snow laid wait for us and our people were once again blown away by the powder party we get to have.
With MLK Day being the most popular day of the year to ski and to avoid having any FOMO (fear of missing out), we did the same! Sunny skies, warm temps made for some mid-winter spring skiing. Feels pretty good to drop a couple layers, open up some vents, and feel the sun your face every once in a while but I'm sure ready to get back to business tomorrow when the flakes hopefully start flying again.

Charities may no longer be able to rely on older generations to leave legacies. But our research shows that younger people may step up and fill the gap…
Pre-pandemic, 6% of people in the UK left a charitable gift in their will, according to Remember a Charity. This equates to roughly £3billion a year. And a further 32% said they would like to leave something to charity in their will.
Baby Boomer generation were the most generous when it came to charity giving, but even before the pandemic many were feeling squeezed.
But will the uncertainty around Covid-19 and the job market mean fewer people considering charities in their will? Certainly charities are already feeling worried about their incomes generally – a third of which comes from legacies – and in June 2020, 9 in 10 said they anticipated Covid-19 would reduce their income.
So where will the money come from now? Previously the so-called Baby Boomer generation were the most generous when it came to charity giving, but even before the pandemic many were feeling squeezed. With this in mind, our research found that fewer people aged 45+ (Gen X) are considering leaving money to charity in their wills. And the 55-64 age range (early Boomers) is the least likely to consider it. This may be partly due to the competing priorities of this generation, who – despite a lot of advantages with property buying and pension planning – have children and grandchildren who are not faring so well. With many Millennials struggling to afford property and Gen Zers facing the prospect of astronomical university fees, the older generations are feeling the pressure to help their children and grandchildren out financially while they are still alive and while it can be of most benefit.
Younger people are now more likely than ever to choose to include a charity in their will.
A glimmer of hope for charities relying on legacy donations is that younger people are now more likely than ever to choose to include a charity in their will. Our TGI data survey of 15,885 people showed that both men and women under 30 say they would consider it, with those in their early 20s most likely. Interestingly, men in both age groups were slightly more likely than women to consider leaving a charity legacy. This is good news for charities who rely on legacies for much-needed funding, although with people living longer than ever before, they’ll need to wait for the money – and many charities may not have time to wait.
(Tabel conveys: Who would consider donating to charity, according to age and gender)
For charities playing the long game and looking to target younger people to leave a donation in their will, our research shows it may be a good idea to focus on:
- people living in London (Londoners give it above average consideration)
- those with a degree or higher; those with PhDs are 50% more likely
- people who have previously donated to charity (women 26% more likely; men only 7% more)
And how to reach these people? Although two-thirds of both men and women are influenced by news and current affairs, when it comes to considering a charity legacy, our research found that women tend to be influenced by social networks (92%) and men by radio appeals (117%).
So our advice to charities right now is to focus on short-term revenue streams, but also commit to a longer-term strategy of promoting legacy giving to people in their 20s and 30s.

Accumulator: A repository where "stock" can increase or decrease. The capacity to accumulate is often part of a unit, including the player him or herself.
The stock can be conceptual, abstracted, or real, such as good will, health, or monkeys respectively. Stock may have to be transported by units in a sim, or transported automatically.
The amount of stock may be limited by the capacity of any single accumulator (i.e. one can't have more monkeys than cages; to get more space, one has to build more cages), per unit (the player can never have more than 50 monkeys) or unlimited (monkey dung). The destruction of the accumulator may result in the destruction of all of the stock, the freeing up of the stock for other units to possess (such as in MMORPGs), or the shifting of the stock automatically to other accumulators.
Scores, where used, are "accumulated."

A total of 105,367 Kenyans have secured jobs abroad since July 2023, a despatch from the Cabinet said on Thursday.
The meeting, chaired by President William Ruto at State House, Nairobi, 16,943 Kenyans have been cleared for opportunities since January this year.
Kenya has signed bilateral labour agreements with Germany and Austria.
Other countries identified by the Ministry of Labour as destinations for Kenyan workers include Australia, Qatar, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the UAE, the United Kingdom, Kuwait, and Northern Ireland.
These opportunities span professional, skilled, and unskilled jobs, including positions for nurses, aged-care workers, and teachers in science, mathematics, English, and physical education.
“At the meeting, the Cabinet was informed that the Ministry of Labour has organised job recruitment drives in every county over the coming weeks,” the despatch said.
The government puts labour export at the forefront of its agenda, aiming to generate millions of jobs for the unemployed.
Last month, Kenya and Qatar have agreed to set up a Qatar Visa Centre in Nairobi to streamline the export of labour to the Gulf state, as well as a new station to ensure that job contracts are properly signed.
Labour and Social Protection Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua said the two countries have started bilateral talks aimed at finalising a new MoU between Kenya and Qatar that will allow for the deployment of skilled Kenyan workers to the Gulf state.
There are currently about 67,000 Kenyans working in Qatar.
This number, Dr Mutua said, will potentially rise to over 200,000 once the new agreement is signed, unlocking a wave of employment opportunities for Kenyan professionals in the Gulf nation.
Mutua highlighted Qatar’s ongoing development projects that have created demand for skilled workers in sectors such as ICT, health, education, infrastructure and agriculture.
“This MoU will open doors for thousands of skilled Kenyans to contribute to Qatar’s key developmental projects,” he said.

Tate Liverpool reveals £29.7m revamp plans
Details and images have been unveiled showing how Tate Liverpool could look following its £29.7m transformation.
The designs by 6a architects show a new public ‘Art Hall’ and events space on the ground floor.
New gallery spaces over three floors will showcase the diversity of Tate’s collection and are interspersed with public riverside foyers.
The opening up of the gallery’s façade will increase its visibility on the waterfront and within the Royal Albert Dock.
A new exhibition space at ground floor level will be created to exhibit work that can been seen from the dockside, increasing the visibility of the gallery’s work to visitors.
Larger contemporary works which were previously impossible to display at Tate Liverpool, will be accommodated by new double-height galleries.
Helen Legg, director, Tate Liverpool, said: “We are proud to be the UK’s most visited modern art gallery outside London but, after 35 years, we want to do more to engage new audiences and to reduce the gallery’s impact on the environment. Through this once-in-a-generation renewal of Tate Liverpool we will become an art museum fit for the 21st century, serving the needs of artists and audiences, now and into the future while continuing to play our part in the ongoing evolution of the historic waterfront.”
Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer MP said: “Tate Liverpool’s regeneration will breathe new life into the gallery, open up access to its collection and improve the visitor experience. It will also bring the history of Liverpool’s iconic Albert Dock into the heart of the museum and I’m delighted we have been able to support this project.”
Minister for Levelling Up, Dehenna Davison MP said: “Liverpool is renowned across the world for its arts and culture. Just look at how they hosted Eurovision, which not only did the country proud but brought out the best of what the city has to offer to an audience of millions.
“Tate Liverpool itself has been at the forefront of the city’s cultural scene since it opened at the famous Royal Albert Dock, and this major transformation will ensure it remains a focal point for years to come – for both artists and visitors to enjoy.
“We have provided £10m of Levelling Up Funding to support this project which will strengthen Liverpool’s status as a cultural hub and help us meet our ambition of levelling up the country.”
Stephanie Macdonald, founding director at 6a architects, said: “Tate Liverpool is a landmark project of re-use and so much of what we need now to re-imagine the gallery is already there. By uncovering and opening up, we can re-engage the robust materiality and unique waterfront location of Jesse Hartley’s 19th century warehouse. Stirling Wilford’s innovative insertion of a gallery within the walls of the warehouse in the 1980’s is reprised in a new public Art Hall and their screens adapted for universal public access and low energy environmental improvement. The resulting series of new dynamic and social spaces across the building will support an arts programme, embedded in the energy and warmth of the city, and make the life of Tate Liverpool and its visitors visible to all along the waterfront.”
Funding for the £29.7m project has come from UK Government, including £10m from the Levelling Up Fund as part of a successful combined £20m bid with National Museums Liverpool and £6.6m from DCMS estates maintenance fund. The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority awarded funding for the developmental phase of the project via its Strategic Investment Fund.
While the building is closed, Tate Liverpool will continue to host events and one-off projects in collaboration with other spaces in the city.
Plans for the programme for 2024 will be announced in the coming weeks.

A distressing clip has caught the attention of environmentalists online. The clip focuses on the dire state of federally protected species in Florida and the development that is responsible for destroying their homes.
The primary protagonist of the video is the gopher tortoise, a species found only in the Southeastern United States and primarily in Florida. The images displayed show tortoise burrows being destroyed for new development, which the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission says is the primary threat to their survival.
@dna_reptiles Gopher tortoises are being killed on a massive scale #gophertortoise #tortoise #florida #fyp #nature #educational #habitatdestruction ♬ Shield of Faith - Spiritual Warfare Music Epic
"Most likely all of the tortoises that lived in this area are now dead," he narrates over footage of devastated ground prepared by construction equipment.
He goes on to speak about how overdevelopment and the habitat loss and fragmentation that comes with it as one of the biggest dangers for animals across the state, and evidence gathered by Florida Humanities supports his statement.
He mentions that gopher tortoises are keystone species that support the ecosystem by offering shelter to over 350 kinds of fauna that shelter in their burrows during fires.
As detailed in the video, habitat destruction is the biggest threat that exists for a variety of species around the world.
Animals are evolved to occupy niches within highly calibrated ecosystems, and when they are altered or destroyed, the critters who rely on them often struggle to find a way to survive. As global heating and human interference reduce biodiversity, these ecosystems become more fragile and their residents more susceptible to endangerment and extinction.
Fragmentation — the division of an animal's natural range by development — also makes it a necessity for animals to cross busy roads with cars traveling at high speeds. This had led to increasing animal fatalities by cars on Florida's highways.
According to these organizations, sprawling suburban development is destroying and dividing crucial habitat for unique species of animals as Florida's population grows. What's worse, it seems regulatory, and conservation agencies are being thrust aside by the power and investment of realtors and development firms.
Commenters on the post were enraged and looking for solutions.
One wrote, "When has man ever stopped his exploitation to consider anything else?"
Another provided more context and an action point: "Split Oak, which has tortoises, is on the agenda at the December commission meeting."
The top commenter captured the feeling and posed the question we should all be asking: "This is heartbreaking. Isn't there anything that can be done to regulate the destruction?"

The cortex has long been considered the primary site of adaptability in the adult brain, but a recent study by the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience challenges this belief. Their research reveals an unexpected role played by the thalamus, a relay station for sensory and motor information. According to Christiaan Levelt, this discovery could open new avenues for therapeutic approaches.
Our brains possess an immense capacity for learning, and the process of adapting to new experiences is known as plasticity. While critical periods of heightened plasticity occur during development, even the adult brain can adapt. However, the exact location of this adult plasticity has remained elusive.
To delve deeper into this question, Yi Qin and colleagues, under Christiaan Levelt’s guidance, focused on the visual system of mice—a convenient model for studying plasticity. Visual information flows from the retina to the thalamus, which then relays processed data to the visual cortex and vice versa.
In a mouse experiment, the adult brain’s adaptability becomes evident. After occluding one eye for several days, the visual cortex becomes less responsive to the closed eye and more so to the open one. The precise regulation of this process has long baffled researchers, but these new findings shine a spotlight on a crucial player: the thalamus.
Christiaan Levelt’s groundbreaking work revealed a significant shift in our understanding of brain plasticity. He states, “Five years ago, we uncovered the critical role of the thalamus in shaping plasticity within the visual cortex during developmental critical periods. This discovery reshaped our perspective on this intricate system. Contrary to earlier beliefs that the visual cortex held sole control, we discovered it was just part of the puzzle. This revelation came about when we selectively removed the GABA-alpha 1 subunit from the thalamus during the critical period for vision in mice.”
“The GABA-alpha 1 subunit is responsible for inhibiting thalamic activity, and its removal reduced this inhibition. Consequently, when we closed one eye in these mice, the expected shift in responses didn’t occur. Since plasticity mechanisms differ between the adult and developing brain, a pressing question arose: Does the thalamus also play a role in adult visual system adaptation?”
Yi Qin further elaborates, “In our latest study, we replicated the same experiment in adult mice and obtained similar results. Plasticity indeed occurred within the adult thalamus, but upon removal of the alpha-1 subunit, this plasticity vanished, resulting in no shift in the cortex. Given our knowledge that the visual cortex communicates back to the thalamus through a feedback loop, we ventured to explore the visual cortex’s role in thalamic plasticity.”
“We approached this by reversing the experiment—temporarily silencing the visual cortex. The question was, what happens to the thalamic responses in this scenario? Remarkably, in adult animals, we observed no significant change; the shift persisted. However, in animals during their critical period, when we silenced the visual cortex, the shift in the thalamus reverted.”
“In essence, during youth, thalamic and cortical plasticity strongly influence each other, whereas in adulthood, the thalamus emerges as a key player in cortical plasticity, with less influence in the opposite direction.”

7. Your friends stop asking you to make reservations and start offering to pitch in to pay for ingredients.
8. Your kid stops eating store-bought muffins because, “they’re just not as squishy as yours.” (Thanks?)
9. Your family starts making Thanksgiving requests in July, and the list usually includes items that make turducken sound simple.
10. Your toaster oven has been used for waffles, day-old french fries, and gourmet fish dishes.
11. You turned a packet of ramen, some eggs, and an old bottle of Sriracha into a meal you served your significant other’s mom — and she liked it.
12. You are brave enough to break away from a recipe, and brave enough to follow one.
13. You can get at least a week’s use out of one roast chicken.
14. Your idea of a great sample sale is Sunday morning at Costco.

Theresa May has confessed the naughtiest thing she ever did was run through a field of wheat as a child.
The British Prime Minister stuck to her conservative brand when she was asked on ITV Tonight what the “naughtiest thing” she ever did was.
“Oh, goodness me. Well, I suppose … Gosh. Do you know, I’m not quite sure. Nobody is ever perfectly behaved, are they?” she said, scrambling for an answer.
“I have to confess when me and my friends used to run through the fields of wheat, the farmers weren’t too pleased about that.”
Voters on social media poked fun at the Prime Minister for the benign confession.
“My god, hasn’t she lived,” one said on Twitter.
Another joked: “This is the political equivalent of saying ‘I am too much of a perfectionist’ in a job interview.”
Others suggested naughtier things she has done, and pointed out policies they disagreed with.
The hashtag #FieldsOfWheat began trending on Twitter.
Ms May, whose father was a vicar, also admitted she was a “bookish” child.
University of Queensland political science lecturer Joff Lelliott told The New Daily the Prime Minister’s lack of “human qualities” work against her.
“Theresa May is right at the centre of the campaign strategy, but Theresa May is not seen as particularly warm or someone voters can identify with,” Dr Lelliott said.
The interview came as the country heads to the polls on Thursday, after a campaign in which Ms May refused to do any live TV debates.
Labour Opposition Leader Jeremy Corbyn railed against Ms May for avoiding a debate as he made gains on her lead in the opinion polls.

Stabbing terror attack injures five in Manchester
Shoppers watched on in horror as a man armed with a large knife began attacking people inside a busy Manchester shopping centre.
Police said a Manchester man, 40, entered the centre about 11.15am on Friday local time and began lunging at shoppers.
Witnesses described scenes of horror and fear as shoppers sought refuge in stores, as the city was once again the target of an alleged terror attack.
The shopping centre is just a few hundred yards from the Manchester Arena where 22 people were killed in May 2017 when Salman Abedi detonated a suicide bomb following an Ariana Grande concert.
Freddie Houlder, 22, from Market Drayton, was in the shopping centre when he heard “a load of screams just outside” the shop he was in.
He said a woman then came into the shop and told others “a guy just ran past the shop and tried to stab me”.
Selfless, unhesitating bravery in the face of lethal violence.
This here is police work.pic.twitter.com/gacKx2hjW8
— The Cat From Greece (@acatfromgreece) October 11, 2019
Mr Houlder added: “Luckily she had quite a thick jacket – she thought originally it was a fake knife because of how easily it grazed off but police came in and said it was a real knife and she burst in to tears.”
Within five minutes, the man was challenged and detained by armed officers in a nearby street.
Assistant chief constable Russ Jackson, of Greater Manchester Police, said: “We do not know the motivation for this terrible attack. It appears random, is certainly brutal and of course extremely frightening for anyone who witnessed it.
“At this time we do not believe that there is anyone else involved in this attack but we will be constantly keeping this under review.
A man in his 50s, a 19-year-old woman and another woman were rushed to hospital with stab wounds. Their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
A 40-year-old man from the Manchester area was arrested on suspicion of assault and then re-arrested on suspicion of commission, preparation and instigation of an act of terrorism.
Police later said he was detained under the Mental Health Act following an assessment by specialist doctors.
British MP and Home Secretary Priti Patel posted on Twitter she was “very concerned by the incident” in Manchester.

Last New Year’s Eve, three people including a police officer were seriously injured when a 25-year-old man launched a knife attack on passers-by.
He was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and will face trial in November.
In 1996, the shopping centre was damaged in an IRA bomb attack in which a 1500-kilogram device loaded on a lorry was detonated on Corporation Street.
More than 200 people were injured in the explosion, although there were no fatalities.

ORLANDO – As part of the Orlando Magic’s continuing commitment to innovation and technology, the team will host the third annual Magic Innovation Challenge on January 19-21, 2024 at Amway Center and the Magic offices in the CNL II building. The weekend will offer developers, students, marketers, startup enthusiasts, graphic artists and sports business professionals the opportunity to pitch new, innovative ideas and hear from some of the top minds in the sports technology field. Participants will be given a general business challenge and then be tasked with forming a team to create solutions.
The challenge will offer participants the opportunity to interact with potential customers, get training in innovation methodology and have expert mentors to assist with the presentation that will be pitched to a panel of judges on the last day of the weekend. The winning team will also be recognized at center court during halftime of the Jan. 21 game.
Registration includes suite tickets to the Magic vs. Miami game on Jan. 21, networking opportunities, food, drinks and other Magic items. For more information and to register, please visit www.orlandomagic.com/omic2024.
The Magic’s Innovation Challenge is powered by HyperValidation, an event-based innovation program launched by local entrepreneurs Rajiv Menon and Jacques Fu. The facilitator for the weekend will be Roger Osorio, who has served in that role for all past innovation challenges as well.
“The Magic’s Innovation Challenge has been growing each year and we’re excited to bring it back,” said Magic Executive Vice President of Strategy and Innovation Jay Riola. “One of our core values at the Magic is innovation. Through that value is our belief in the power of collaboration and creative thinking. Central Florida is home to an active and vibrant innovation community, and we are excited to host this exciting event for a third year.”
Judges picking the winning presentation will include Magic Chief Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer Esu Ma’at, National Entrepreneur Center President Belinda Kirkegard, and leAD Sports & Health Tech Partners Chief Operating Officer Kendel Fiorentino. Participants will also have the opportunity to learn from key members in academia along with local business leaders. Prizes for the winning teams to include tickets to a game during the 2023-24 season, a behind-the-scenes experience at leAD’s Lake Nona offices and more.
In 2014, the Magic opened the first design thinking-based innovation lab in the NBA. The lab’s genesis came from the desire to create a safe place for new ideas and creativity after innovation was determined to be a core value of the team. The lab is a place where judgement is suspended, ambiguity embraced, and the evolution of habitual ways encouraged.
More than 100 projects have gone through the lab, ranging from customer service initiatives to technology applications to corporate partner activation activities and arena renovations.
The Orlando Magic have a history of placing a priority on the customer through technology and innovation. Since 2010, the Magic have prioritized and leveraged data, analytics, and business intelligence and has worked with partner SAS, a leader in analytics software and services, to better understand its fans and use insights to enhance their enjoyment and improve business operations.
In 2015, the team was the first in the NBA to adopt cutting-edge mobile technology allowing fans to utilize the Magic app to personalize their experience at Amway Center, including managing tickets, purchasing seat upgrades, and ordering express pickup or in-seat delivery of food, beverage, and retail merchandise all from their mobile phone. The Magic have also pioneered new methods of digital fan engagement such as Magic Vision Mobile, flexible ticketing solutions, including various pass ticketing products, called the Fast Break Pass, and introducing the first-of-its-kind Magic Money program that allows Loyal Blue season ticket members to return tickets for games they’re unable to attend and create a digital currency for use to customize their membership experience at future games. In addition, the Magic have implemented various concepts inspired by past innovation challenges related to ticketing products, app engagement, communication strategies and more.

Could Andy Murray get hooked on knitting when he retires from sport?
Concentration, rhythm, timing and attention to detail are essential in both tennis and knitting, says Judy, who is supporting the Scottish Women’s Institutes craft revival campaign.
Hailed as a stress busting, mood-enhancing pastime by Scottish stars getting behind the SWI drive to promote traditional handcrafts, knitting could be just the thing for Andy when his tennis days are over.
Hide AdIn a video showing Judy picking up needles and wool and knitting in support of the SWI the tennis coach says: “What it reminded me of is a lot of things I teach in tennis. It’s great for manual dexterity, great for concentration, it’s great for rhythm, and timing and attention to detail so there you go: tennis and knitting, it’s all the same thing really.”
The SWI has for generations been regarded as the leading organisation for learning, sharing and developing knitting, sewing, embroidery and handcraft expertise. Now, in its centenary year, Scottish personalities are backing the SWI as it leads the charge to bring nimble fingered talents to the fore once again.
ITV presenter Lorraine Kelly and TV presenter Martel Maxwell have also been reminded of the pleasure of knitting by SWI members who sent wool, knitting needles and part-made scarves and encouraged them to have a go.
Lorraine says: “I’m very happy to support the ‘Save Scottish Crafts Campaign’. I learned knitting at school and find it therapeutic and a real stress buster!”
Hide AdMartel took up the SWI knitting challenge weeks after having her third child, Guthrie, who features in her knitting film clip.
Martel adds: “It takes me back to knitting with my gran, so many fond memories and it got me thinking about the things that really matter. I have three wee boys and knitting can keep my boys warm… save money…and it is really enjoyable.”
With handcrafts are no longer taught in schools and anecdotal evidence suggesting some people cannot tackle basic tasks like sewing a button onto a garment, the SWI fears that handcraft skills could be in danger of dying out.
Yet there is an appetite among women to take up handcrafts: an SWI survey carried out two years ago showed dressmaking, knitting and crochet in the top 10 skills women in Scotland would like to learn. The poll included cooking and arts and crafts among the top skills women would like to develop, other areas in which the SWI is renowned for.
Hide AdSWI national chairman Christine Hutton said: “We have been promoting education and advancement of Scottish handcrafts since our very foundation 100 years ago.
“It would be a great pity for centuries-old skills to die out and we want to encourage people of all ages to enjoy learning through craft, and help nurture the next generation of craftspeople.
“Many of our own members learned on their mother’s or grandmother’s knee, and have developed and learned techniques supported by fellow members, or by attending specialist courses and tutorials run by the SWI.
“We are keen to widen our net by encouraging others to tap into the knowledge and expertise found within the SWI. Even in this digital age, there is a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction to be had from creating something by hand, in addition to the practical benefits of being able to sew or mend a garment.
Hide Ad“With 712 Institutes we have a huge network in Scotland and every Institute has a member willing to give their time to keep these skills going.”
The SWI wants to encourage anyone who would like to learn and develop handcrafts to come and join them, or to seek out their support for tutorials or skill-sharing events. For more details of how to find your nearest Institute, or how to join online, visit www.theswi.org.uk
