__label__cc	0.729117	0.270883	A Plot of Their Own By GURVINDER SINGH At a 4,500-year-old necropolis in northern India, archaeologists discovered a grave containing the remains of a man and a woman who seem to have been buried at the same time. The burial is one of some 60 graves that have been recently unearthed near a settlement known today as Rakhigarhi. Rakhigarhi was one of the largest cities of the Indus Valley, or Harappan, civilization, which flourished from 2600 to 1900 B.C. in what is now Pakistan and northern India. The couple were interred in a pit along with ceramic vessels and an agate bead. “The skeletal remains of both individuals were well preserved,” says Deccan College archaeologist Vasant Shinde, who led the excavations. “The manner in which they were buried, with the male facing toward the female, could commemorate their lasting affection, even after death.” Analysis of the skeletons showed that the two were between 21 and 35 years old when they died. They are the only known Harappan couple to have been buried together in the same grave.

Military Records IV. Judicial Records RG 29 Records of the Bureau of the Census (crop schedules) RG 36 Records of the United States Customs Service, 1745 - 1982 Congress created the Custom Service on July 31, 1789 and made it a part of the Department of Treasury (September 1789). The service assisted other agencies in the enforcement of the slave trading laws that were passed between 1794 to 1820. In particular, the 1807 law prohibited the transportation of slaves after 1808, and section 9 required that all vessels of 40 tons or more carrying slaves in the coastwise trade file duplicate manifests (ports of origin and destination) showing name, age and description of each slave, the name and residence of exporter and consignee, and pledge that the slave had not been imported after 1807. Manifest records exist for four ports. Records of Customhouses Records are arranged chronologically by date of arrival and thereunder by name of vessel. They show name, tonnage, and nationality of vessel; date of arrival; name of master, name (usually Christian only), age, sex of slave; name and address of consignee; and name of owner.

RG 48 Records of the Office of the Secretary of the Interior By an act of Congress, March 3, 1849, the Department of Interior consolidated in one department the General Land Office (under the Secretary of Treasury), Commissioner of Indian Affairs and Office of the Commissioner of Pensions (under the Secretary of War), Patent Office (under the Secretary of State), Commissioner of Public buildings, and assumed the jurisdiction over census taking, marshals and court officers, charitable and penal institutions in the District of Columbia. Records Relating to the Suppression of the African Slave Trade and to Negro Colonization, 1854-72 Several laws were passed in the 19th century for the suppression of the African slave trade and for support of the colonization of recaptured and free Africans. In 1861, the Interior Department assumed responsibility of administering the anti-slave trade laws and those providing for the colonization of recaptured and free Africans in Liberia and other countries. The Secretary of Interior accumulated much correspondence related to a variety of issues and subjects surrounding the suppression of the trade from the President, Congress, various executive departments, 1858-72, and from U.S. agents for liberated Africans in Liberia, 1860-65.

RG 76 Records of Boundary and Claims Commissions and Arbitration Following arbitration by the Emperor of Russia in 1822, a mixed claims commission was provided for in a convention signed to settle U.S. claims against Great Britain concerning slaves and property lost during the War of 1812. Because of difficulties faced by the commission, a new convention was signed in 1826 in which Great Britain agreed to pay a sum in satisfaction of all claims awarded under the arbitration of the Emperor. A domestic claims commission was established by an act in 1827 to handle the disbursement of awards. In 1853, another mixed claims commission was established to settle claims presented to either government since December 24, 1814.

__label__wiki	0.758384	0.758384	Atelier / Studio Arne Quinze Interview — Museum Beelden Aan Zee, The Hague, Netherlands Arne Quinze about the series of sculptures in The Hague For an artist, public space is an ideal place in which to experiment. There exists a tension between the public and the private, the community and the individual. How would we like to experience the space? Arne Quinze’s large-scale sculptures Natural Chaos Rock Strangers, which are to be found outside on the boulevard side of this museum, are all about this. What are these strange intruders doing here, and how should we react to them? For Quinze it is all about provoking these primal emotions of curiosity and surprise. The sculptures symbolize the artist’s view of the growing difference between nature and culture. Our towns and cities are becoming increasingly monotonous, busy and uninhabitable. By placing the sculptures in our everyday environment, Arne Quinze wants us to become more conscious of the importance of nature in our society. About Natural Chaos, the works displayed on the patio, Quinze says: “My new Natural Chaos sculptures came into being after my numerous personal encounters with the unbridled beauty of nature. They symbolise my reflection on today’s growing differences between the diversity of nature and the ongoing expansion of monotone cities. While continuously unravelling the physical processes of complex demographics my sculptures react rapidly to all impulses in order to keep equilibrium, resulting in a play of attraction and rejection that shapes the sculptures' organic forms and electric bright colours. At first glance they seem vulnerable, but they will persist a vigour dialogue just like nature.“ It is as if one sees the different components move in relation to one another. With these vividly coloured works Quinze is also hinting at the effect of a large force of nature.

__label__cc	0.657491	0.342509	CATCH THE BUZZ – There’s a good correlation between bee health and agriculture according to UT researchers. The University of Tennessee says research shows a positive correlation between bee health and the presence of agriculture – just opposite to popular belief. Scientists at the university’s Institute of Agriculture say the overall health of honey bee hives actually improves in the presence of agricultural production. The study, published in the Journal of Economic Entomology, evaluated the impacts of row-crop agriculture, including the traditional use of pesticides, on honey bee health. It found bee colonies in a non-agricultural area struggled to find adequate food resources and produced fewer offspring. “We’re not saying that pesticides are not a factor in honeybee health,” says lead author Mohamed Alburaki, post-doctoral fellow with the university’s Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology. “There were a few events during the season where insecticide applications caused the death of some foraging bees. “However, our study suggests that the benefits of better nutrition sources and nectar yields found in agricultural areas outweigh the risks of exposure to agricultural pesticides.” Alburaki and fellow researchers established experimental apiaries in in western Tennessee ranging from non-agricultural to intense agricultural production. During the course of a year, colonies were monitored for performance and productivity by measuring colony weight, brood production and colony thermoregulation, the ability to maintain an optimal temperature within a hive. It’s an important factor in brood development and the health of the resulting adult bees. The study found hives located in areas with high to moderate agricultural vegetation grew faster and larger than those in low or non-agricultural areas. Researchers suggest the greater population sizes enabled better colony thermoregulation in these hives, as well. Meanwhile, bees located in a non-agricultural environment were challenged to find food. Although fewer pesticide contaminants were reported in these areas, the landscape did not provide sustainable forage. In fact, during the observations, two colonies in the non-agricultural areas collapsed due to starvation. Disruptions and fluctuations in brood rearing were also more notable in a non-agricultural environment. Brood production was highest in the location that exhibited a more evenly distributed mix of agricultural production, forests and urban activity. “One possible explanation for this finding could be the elevated urban activity in this location,” Alburaki says. “Ornamental plantings around homes or businesses, or backyard gardens are examples of urban activity that increase the diversity of pollen in an area. Greater pollen diversity has been credited with enhancing colony development.” Researchers evaluated trapped pollen from each colony and found low concentrations of fungicides, herbicides and insecticides. All were at levels well below the lethal dose for honey bees. Imidacloprid was the only neonicotinoid detected, also at sub-lethal levels. Scott Stewart, integrated pest management specialist with the university’s extension program, says the study found that higher exposure to pesticides in agricultural environments did not result in measurable impacts on colony productivity. “We train agricultural producers on careful selection and conscientious application of pesticides to reduce bee exposure,” Stewart says, “but it’s becoming more clear that the influences of Varroa mite and food availability are more important factors in honey bee health than agricultural pesticides.” AgricultureforageHoney Bee Healthnon-agriculturepesticides Previous articleCATCH THE BUZZ – Where have all the insects gone?

During the recent tests, nine LRLAPs were successfully fired at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. These tests were designed to demonstrate accuracy, reliability, lethality, and time of arrival control. In addition, six of the nine rounds were subjected to an environmental qualification, which included temperature variation and vibration tests that proved the LRLAP’s reliability after exposure to different transportation situations and storage environments. Test requirements were met or exceeded, and all objectives were successfully demonstrated. “I am incredibly proud of the success our team has had on this crucial development program,” said Chris Hughes, vice president and general manager of Weapon Systems at BAE Systems. “We have made significant progress in qualifying the LRLAP in support of the deployment of the Advanced Gun System aboard the DDG 1000. The LRLAP will provide the Navy with an affordable, ship-launched alternative to currently used missiles.” BAE Systems’ 155-mm LRLAP is effective against a variety of targets in multiple mission areas. The LRLAP is guided by a GPS and Inertial Measurement Unit, allowing for high levels of accuracy at ranges up to, and in excess of, 63 nautical miles. This capability reduces costs by requiring fewer rounds to achieve desired effects on targets and is effective where collateral damage is an issue.

__label__wiki	0.611105	0.611105	British biomethane plant Sherwood sold to JLEN The biomethane plant is located in Nottinghamshire about 25 miles southeast of Sheffield and was BayWa r.e.’s first biomethane plant to be installed in the UK. Co-developed with AcrEnergy Ltd. and EPC-packaged by BayWa r.e back in 2016, it has now been sold to the environmental infrastructure investment fund John Laing Environmental Assets Group Limited (JLEN). The plant deploys the most modern technology in Europe and has been operating at full capacity after successfully managing its ramp-up. With RHI certification (Renewable Heat Incentive), it benefits from several fixed inflation-adjusted subsidies over 20 years. Every year, some 40,000 tonnes, mostly agricultural residual materials, are fermented and processed into biomethane. The maximum gas supply capacity is approx. 500 Nm³/h. “We are glad to announce the sale of the Sherwood biomethane plant to such an environmentally oriented company as JLEN”, comments Matthias Taft, Board member of BayWa AG. “With the sale of the plant, we also demonstrate our strong commitment to the project and service business in the bioenergy sector.” Chris Holmes, Director of John Laing Capital Management and co-lead adviser to JLEN adds: “We are delighted to transact for the first time with BayWa r.e. and hope to build on a promising relationship. The Sherwood biomethane plant will be the 6th anaerobic digestion asset that JLEN has invested in as it seeks to continue to grow its portfolio in this exciting sector. The plant has been developed to a high standard and is set to bring significant environmental benefits over its lifetime – the equivalent of removing 1,800 diesel cars from UK roads and offsetting annually over 6,250 tCO2e through the use of the digestate as a fertiliser.” Christian Bracklow, Managing Director of BayWa r.e. Bioenergy GmbH adds: “Acting in a region where coal mining used to be a major driver of employment, project Sherwood involves collaboration with a substantial number of local farmers and it creates new jobs, which continues the region’s heritage in energy production. Thanks to the high quality standards and durability of modern construction, the plant will also help support the energy transition in the UK, as the power sector becomes increasingly volatile.” “With the sale of the plant, we will focus again on developing new greenfield, reengineering and EPC projects. We will also further upgrade our service products, focused around operation and feedstock management, which will include new IT solutions.”	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0097.json.gz/line1419809
__label__cc	0.627544	0.372456	Namoi subregion 3-4 Impact and risk analysis for the Namoi subregion The hydrological analysis encompasses the surface water and groundwater modelling reported in companion product 2.6.1 (Aryal et al., 2018) and companion product 2.6.2 (Janardhanan et al., 2018), respectively, for the Namoi subregion. The Namoi surface water and groundwater models quantify potential changes in hydrology from multiple coal resource developments and enable an assessment of the cumulative impacts of coal resource development at a regional scale. For streamflow, nine hydrological response variables, which incorporate changes in groundwater fluxes from the groundwater model, allow an assessment of the effects on low-, average- and high-flow characteristics of the time-series data. For groundwater, a single hydrological response variable quantifies the maximum additional drawdown attributable to the modelled additional coal resource development. Companion submethodology M06 for surface water modelling (Viney, 2016) and companion submethodology M07 for groundwater modelling (Crosbie et al., 2016) (as listed in Table 1) define thresholds for each hydrological response variable. A modelled change at or above the threshold identifies the level of hydrological change due to additional coal resource development that needs to be considered further. Preliminary zones of potential hydrological change for surface water (companion product 2.6.1 (Aryal et al., 2018)) and for groundwater (companion product 2.6.2 (Janardhanan et al., 2018)) identify the areas beyond which impact is considered very unlikely. For surface water, a model node is included in the zone of potential hydrological change if it registered a change above the threshold in at least one of the nine hydrological response variables. The Namoi link-node mapping shows where results from surface water model nodes define upstream and downstream links in the stream network (see companion product 2.6.1 (Aryal et al., 2018)), and it identifies which stream reaches are within the surface water zone of potential hydrological change (see Figure 37 in Aryal et al. (2018)). For groundwater, a maximum drawdown of 0.2 m due to additional coal resource development is used as a threshold. If 5% or more of the model simulations predict a drawdown of greater than 0.2 m, the model node is included in the groundwater zone of potential hydrological change (see Figure 10 in Section 3.3). If less than 5% of the model simulations predict a drawdown of greater than 0.2 m, then hydrological impact is assessed as very unlikely. The zones of potential hydrological change for surface water and groundwater modelling, identified in companion product 2.6.1 (Aryal et al., 2018) and companion product 2.6.2 (Janardhanan et al., 2018), form the basis for a combined zone of potential hydrological change that is spatially explicit and at a 1 km pixel resolution, and this resolution is aligned with the shape of assessment units. Assessment units are the basis of the subsequent assessment (see Section 3.2.5 for details). This resolution recognises the input data resolutions in the hydrological modelling and allows for an assessment at the bioregional level. Section 3.3 outlines the process of this zone development for the Namoi subregion. The additional processing steps needed to incorporate stream reaches that are not explicit in the AWRA-R link-node network are also available in Section 3.3. This includes those landscape classes that have an inherent surface water dependency and intersect with these stream reaches. This overcomes the spatial limitation of representing streams as line features, which do not include riparian and floodplain areas. The zone of potential hydrological change underpins the ‘rule-out’ overlay analysis of landscape classes and assets (Section 3.2.4). 3.2.3.1 Representing predictive uncertainty The models used in the assessment produce a large number of predictions of groundwater drawdown and streamflow characteristics rather than a single number. This results in a range or distribution of predictions, which are typically reported as probabilities – the percent chance of something occurring (Figure 7). This approach allows an assessment of the likelihood of exceeding a given magnitude of change, and underpins the assessment of risk. Groundwater models, for example, require information about physical properties such as the thickness of geological layers, how porous aquifers are, and whether faults are present. As the exact values of these properties are not always known, the modellers used a credible range of values, which are based on various sources of data (commonly point-scale) combined with expert knowledge. Incorporation of this credible range included running the model 3500 times using a different set of plausible values for those physical properties each time. Historical observations, such as groundwater level and changes in water movement and volume from across the subregion, help to constrain and validate the model runs subsequently. The complete set of model runs produces a range or distribution of predictions (Figure 7) that is consistent with the available regional observations and the understanding of the modelled system. The range conveys the confidence in model results, with a wide range indicating that the expected outcome is less certain, while a narrow range provides a stronger evidence base for decision making. The distributions created from these model runs are expressed as probabilities that drawdown or a change in streamflow will exceed relevant thresholds, as there is no single ‘best’ estimate of change. In this Assessment, the estimates of drawdown or streamflow change are shown as 5th, 50th or 95th percentile results, corresponding to a 95%, 50% or 5% chance of exceeding thresholds. Figure 8 illustrates this predictive uncertainty spatially. Throughout this product, the term ‘very likely’ describes where there is a greater than 95% chance of something occurring, and ‘very unlikely’ is used where there is a less than 5% chance. Figure 7 Illustrative example of probabilistic drawdown results using percentiles and percent chance The chart on the left shows the distribution of results for drawdown, obtained from an ensemble of thousands of model runs that use many sets of parameters. These generic results are for illustrative purposes only. Figure 8 Illustrative example of key areas in the landscape defined by probabilistic results The assessment extent was divided into smaller square assessment units (see Section 3.2.5) and the probability distribution (Figure 7) was calculated for each. In this product results are reported with respect to the following key areas: A. outside the zone of potential hydrological change, where hydrological changes (and hence impacts) are very unlikely (defined by maps showing the 95th percentile) B. inside the zone of potential hydrological change, comprising the assessment units with at least a 5% chance of exceeding the threshold (defined by maps showing the 95th percentile). Further work is required to determine whether the hydrological changes in the zone translate into impacts for water-dependent assets and landscapes C. with at least a 50% chance of exceeding the threshold (i.e. the assessment units where the median is greater than the threshold; defined by maps showing the 50th percentile) D. with at least a 95% chance of exceeding the threshold (i.e. the assessment units where hydrological changes are very likely; defined by maps showing the 5th percentile). Percentile estimates of drawdown enable the reader to choose their own drawdown thresholds. For example, an ecologist may be interested in potential hydrological changes in an area of floodplain remnant vegetation where their conceptual ecological model indicates that herbaceous species are affected by 1 to 2 m of drawdown and floodplain trees are affected by 10 to 20 m of drawdown. The ecologist can use the 5th, 50th and 95th percentile estimates of drawdown for the relevant landscape class or asset to assess the likelihood and extent of potential impacts on and risks to that ecosystem due to coal resource development. In contrast, the percent chance of exceeding important threshold values enables the reader to choose their level of certainty. A regulator may be interested in the likelihood of a groundwater bore exceeding defined regulatory thresholds. The regulator can then determine the number of bores where there is a 20% chance of exceeding 5 m drawdown. 3.1.1 Namoi subregion 3.1.3 Structure of this report 3.2.5 Information management and processing 3.3.2 Zone of potential hydrological change 3.4.3 'Floodplain or lowland riverine' (non-Pilliga) landscape group 3.4.4 'Non-floodplain or upland riverine' (non-Pilliga) landscape group 3.4.5 Pilliga riverine (upland and lowland) 3.4.6 Potentially impacted landscape classes lacking quantitative ecological modelling 3.5.5 Potential impacts on an individual asset 3.6.1 Non-modelled additional coal resource developments 3.6.2 Potential impacts of non-modelled additional coal resource developments 3.7.1 Key finding Data register for product 3-4 Impact and risk analysis for the Namoi subregion	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0097.json.gz/line1419813

Recent studies reveal that there is scope for crop improvement through modification of RSA in crop plants... Authors: Monika Dalal, Rohini Sreevathsa, Subodh Kumar Sinha, Basavaprabhu L. Patil National Research Centre on Plant Biotechnology, Pusa, New Delhi-110012 Corresponding author e-mail: monika@nrcpb.org The root system architecture (RSA) of a plant describes the spatial configuration of root system in soil with respect to shape and structure of the root system (de Dorlodot et al. 2007). RSA determines the amount of water and nutrient uptake from soil, and hence, is a major determinant of yield specifically under input deficient and abiotic stress environment. Therefore, one approach to maximize the performance of a plant under nutrient and water deficient soil would be to modify its RSA. Genetic improvement in root system would require an understanding of the mechanisms of constitutive and adaptive development of RSA and identification of genes controlling RSA. In the recent past, owing to advance in technology and resources, considerable progress has been made in understanding the physiology and molecular biology of RSA in plants. Reverse and forward genetics approach has been instrumental in deciphering many aspects of root development in Arabidopsis (de Lucas and Brady 2013). Extensive root transcriptomics and proteomic studies have been carried out in different cell types in roots, and gene networks have been analyzed in Arabidopsis (Birnbaum et al., 2003, Brady et al., 2007). The root architecture and anatomy of Arabidopsis, a dicot plant, differs from monocots such as wheat, rice and maize. Arabidopsis has a tap root system, while cereals root system is composed of fibrous root system. Even among cereals, regulation of RSA in rice that is grown in flooded conditions would be different from that of wheat or maize. In case of rice and maize, several mutants related to root development have been characterized. Studies on these root specific mutants from rice and maize have also revealed that certain core components of root development are conserved between dicots and monocots (Hochholdinger and Zimmermann, 2008). By using LASER micro-dissection and microarray profiling, a rice transcriptome atlas was created for 40 different cell types including 13 from roots (Jiao et al., 2009). Comparative analysis of the data with that of Arabidopsis, revealed similar as well as unique genes and gene networks that can be useful for further research. In maize and wheat, transcriptome and proteome analysis of roots under control and abiotic stress conditions has also been reported (Mohammadi et al., 2008, Zou et al., 2010). The underground nature and plasticity of the roots creates difficulty in phenotyping. Hence, efforts have been made to identify the quantitative trait loci (QTL) for various root parameters such as root length, thickness, penetration etc. Once QTLs are tagged with molecular markers, these markers can be used to screen and select the desired plant type (with desired QTLs) from the segregating population even in the seedling stage in the lab conditions. Though there are many QTLs for root traits, these QTLs have not been used in marker-assisted selection (MAS) breeding because either they were minor QTLs or have not been validated in different genetic background and target environments. Recently two major QTLs, DRO1 (Deeper Rooting 1) and Pup1 (phosphorus uptake 1) which regulate root growth under drought stress and phosphorous deficiency stress respectively (Uga et al. 2011, Wissuwa et al. 2002) have been identified. Fine mapping of these QTLs have led to identification of DRO1 (Deeper Rooting 1) and PSTOL1 (Phosphorus Starvation Tolerance 1) genes in rice (Uga et al. 2013, Gamuyao et al. 2012). DRO1 is negatively regulated by auxin and is involved in cell elongation. Higher expression of DRO1 increases the root growth angle, making roots grow deeper. The study revealed that under drought conditions in field, DRO1 facilitates better grain filling thus resulting in higher yield. Moreover there is no yield penalty under normal or no drought conditions. PSTOL1 encodes a protein kinase which enhances early root growth, and enables plants to acquire more phosphorus and other nutrients. In field conditions, rice with the PSTOL1 gene has been found to produce about 20% more grain than rice varieties lacking this gene. These studies reveal that there is enormous scope for crop improvement through modification of root system architecture in crops. Until recently, the progress and success in RSA studies especially in crop plants had been rather slow due to the difficulty in phenotyping root traits. Advent of High-resolution and dynamic 3D imaging tools, software and highthroughput phenotyping plateforms would aid in unraveling this hidden better half of the plant. This in turn would hasten the progress in understanding RSA for agricultural benefit. 1. Birnbaum et al (2003) A gene expression map of the Arabidopsis root. Science 302: 1956-1960 2.

__label__cc	0.706494	0.293506	ZIGGY BAY Elephants saved from illegal logging Five years ago I visited an elephant rehabilitation centre, The Elephant Nature Park in Thailand’s Chiang Mai. I’ve never forgotten this sobering and moving experience so have decided to share it with you as it’s one of my most heart wrenching travel experiences. Elephants are very social animals with the females living in large groups with mothers, daughters, grandmothers and aunties. The rehabilitation centre has about 30 elephants, many of them roaming around but it didn’t take much to find out their lives had not always been this happy. In the rehabilitation centre the elephants are well fed. Most of these elephants were primarily used in the logging industry hauling logs for long distances, much of it illegal. Elephants were used in the teak forests which once covered much of Northern Thailand around Chiang Mai to drag the felled trees out of the forest for processing. The growing demand for teak and land for agriculture saw three-quarters of the Thai forests milled between the 1945 and 1986. Then in the 1990’s the government banned logging altogether and many of the elephants and their handler (mahouts) were out of work. For mahouts to find 150 kg of food a day to feed their elephant they had few options. They could either sell their elephant to a trekking company or take them to beg in the congested, dirty streets of Bangkok or Chiang Mai. There is nothing like rolling in mud before a bath in the river. Lek Chailert who loved elephants and had grown up in a nearby hill tribe became involved in helping place the unemployed elephants. However, she encountered elephants that were struggling without enough food or proper veterinary care and many who were worn down after a lifetime of gruelling work. We had such fun bathing the elephants while they snacked on butternuts and watermelon. She started a field clinic for treating sick and injured elephants but it became clear some needed ongoing medical care and somewhere they could rest and heal, so opened The Elephant Nature Park in 1996. This is the elephant clinic where they come for vet checks. My most vivid memory was Mae Jokia, (meaning ‘Eye from heaven”). She was born around 1960 and rescued in 1999 from illegal logging after extreme abuse. While pulling a log up a hill she suffered a miscarriage and was not allowed to stop and check to see if her calf was dead or alive. This caused Jokia much physical and emotional trauma and she refused to work. As a result, she was deliberately blinded by her mahout. There’s nothing like butternut for lunch. Now rescued and living in The Elephant Nature Park she has a far happier home with her best friend, Mae Perm who protects her. Mae Perm also had a sad and abusive history in the logging industry and was later sold to a wealthy Thai family who kept her as a pet, but she developed digestive problems due an unhealthy diet. Feeding these elephants takes one hell of a lot of food. Elephants are highly intelligent mammals with the biggest brain in the animal kingdom. They cry, laugh, play and have incredible memories. Females spend their entire lives in tight family groups made up of mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters and daughters with the eldest female leading the group so it is highly unnatural for them to be removed from their families. Babies born at the centre are a welcome addition to the extended family. If you are interested in learning more about these rescued elephants, take a look at their website. The Elephant Nature Park. All the elephants have their incredible stories documented and there are so many ways you can help as well as visting the centre and volunteering your time.

__label__wiki	0.894384	0.894384	Public Shortlist 25/10/2019 \| Written by: Tom Farmer There’s a total of six projects shortlisted in the Public category of this year’s Brick Awards, which between them demonstrate a wonderful breadth of brick, brickwork styles and architecture. Abbey Wood Crossrail Station, designed by Fereday Pollard Architects, is a completely new station on the South East Spur of Crossrail, denoting the pivotal start and conclusion of Crossrail’s journey to and from central London. Formed to serve the four new lines, now accommodating both the new Elizabeth Line and Southeastern Rail services, the station now includes pedestrian access across the railway and public transport interchange. Ancillary design works include the implementation of an extensive urban realm strategy with Urban movement, foot bridges and other structures along the 2km project. A design vision was maintained for the station through the GRIP stages and the overall station design has created a new, vibrant architectural focus for Abbey Wood and a greatly enhanced passenger experience for those using the station. The new dynamic station and transport interchange is symbolic not only for its regeneration effect but also for its marking of the geographical start of Crossrail in this part of London and being the most ambitious and advanced railway network in Europe. Linear bricks, manufactured by Forterra, were used for this development. Barnet Council Colindale Offices, designed by Hawkins\Brown, serves as a significant urban marker and gateway into the newly regenerated Grahame Park in Colindale. The restrained material palette of brick and stone both ties in with the surrounding context and allows the building to establish its own identity and civic presence. All facades are a clear architectural language: stone stringer courses wrap the building perimeter at every second storey of the ten-storey building. Articulated two-storey brick piers and panels also create a sense of depth and rhythm to the facades. Floren Castor brick, manufactured by Michelmersh Brick Holdings, were used in this development as a clear distinction from the buff yellow used for neighbouring housing schemes. Bethnal Green Mission Church, designed by Gatti Routh Rhodes Architects, replaces a 1950s structure. This new building is an elegant urban block accommodating a complex mix of uses with a church at its heart and incorporating 15 apartments. The Church is a composite building with a concrete frame to the first floor and a cross-laminated timber structure above. The façade is framed by light concrete elements and relates to the surrounding buildings, such as the Grade II* listed V&A Museum of Childhood, in materiality and proportion. The diagonal parquet pattern of the bond reflects the basket weave of the stained glass to the church and picks up on the exposed concrete coffers spanning the church space. In turn, these diagonal beams reference the tradition of vaulted church ceilings. PT445 Wheat bricks, manufactured by Wienerberger, was used for this development. Biggin Hill Memorial Museum, designed by Robin Lee Architecture, is located at the former Royal Air Force station, adjacent to the Grade II listed St. George’s Chapel of Remembrance, this new cultural building tells the story of Britain’s most famous fighter station. It has been designed to frame the Chapel in the manner of a garden wall or cloister and set at a constant height, establishing a clear datum against which the form and character of the Chapel can be read. The arrangement creates a quiet and contemplative inner courtyard space where a consecrated memorial garden servs as a reverential focus. A brown, multi-toned brick is predominant material of the existing building, whilst the interior is constructed of pale toned brickwork. In making the new museum building, it was decided that the most appropriate expression for the building would be achieved using pale toned brickwork for the exterior construction, creating a subtle counterpoint and contrast with the existing and historic building. Marziale brick, manufactured by Wienerberger, was used for this development. Also shortlisted is Cambridge Central Mosque, designed by Marks Barfield Architects. After conducting research on mosques around the world, the architects found them to be an incredibly versatile building, adapting to the local conditions in which they are constructed. They drew inspiration from an image of the garden of paradise, as well as Islamic and English religious architectural traditions, namely Islamic geometry and Kings College Chapel respectively. The underlying geometry of the entire building is the ‘breath of the compassionate’ pattern which is based on octagons and symbolizes the rhythm of life. The mosque incorporates many sustainable features, including its timber structure which is curved and laminated. Roof lights above the trees create a prayer hall bathed in light. The external walls are made of cross laminated timber, clad in a Corium brick system. The tiles have also been chosen to reflect the light buff Gault Cambridgeshire brick with an accent red tile, which have been arranged to form Square Kufic calligraphy writing. All bricks were manufactured by Wienerberger. Finally, we have The Defence National Rehabilitation Centre, designed collaboratively by John Simpson Architects and Purcell. This project was a huge undertaking to produce a large-scale medical facility to deal with injuries to British servicemen and women sustained in combat. Drawing inspiration from Gerald Grosvenor, 6th Duke of Westminster, it is the largest collection of classical style buildings constructed as a single project since the era of Lutyens. Masonry is the core architectural feature of the scheme and the scale of the build was significant, with new brickwork being carried out over 34 different structures, over 1.4 million bricks were laid traditionally. Parham Lights Multi, Priory Red Multi, Surrey County Red, Leicester Multi, Thakeham Red and Brunswick Wilton Yellow bricks, all manufactured by Ibstock Brick, were used for this development.

__label__wiki	0.914813	0.914813	Pat Lam left frustrated and full of questions following Alapati Leiua's key disallowed try 'We desperately wanted those four points' Marcello Cossali-Francis Match Referee Matthew Carley checks the big screen to decide if a try by Alapati Leiua scored. (Image: Getty Images) Bristol Bears head coach Pat Lam admitted he was left feeling flat and frustrated after an enthralling 20-20 draw with Sale Sharks in the final home game of the Gallagher Premiership season. Lam’s frustrations were mainly down to the disallowed Alapati Leiua try with nine minutes left on the clock, which would have put the Bears into the lead at a crucial time in the game. The referee disallowed the try for an apparent off-the-ball scuffle involving Callum Sheedy and Sale’s Chris Ashton. It looked as if Ashton initiated the incident but the referee deemed it worthy enough to not award the try, much to the fans aggrievement. Bristol Bears v Sale Sharks LIVE: Charles Piutau and Alapati Leuia score for Bristol; Denny Solomona and Faf De Klerk touch down for Sale “It was a massive moment in the game, Alapati’s try. It doesn’t make sense to me. Ashton initiated the scuffle, it wasn’t Sheedy’s fault that he became involved. It’s not our fault that Ashton has decided to take himself out of the game.” Pat Lam, Head Coach of Bristol Bears (Image: Getty Images) The referee then preceded to award Bristol the penalty after the TMO decision, which was something that confused Lam and his coaching staff. “I think everyone is talking about it. It doesn’t make any sense, it wasn’t our players’ idea to engage. I’ll find out what happened and we will go through the process. Bristol Bears hit with top six blow after breathless draw against Sale Sharks “It was an unusual one. Sheedy was taken out off the ball and Ashton decided to then cause it so it is a strange one. If he’s given us the penalty then why not give us the try? It doesn’t make any sense.” Despite that decision, Bristol still had their chance to win, with Ian Madigan missing two kicks at goal late on to win the game, before Sale missed a kick of their own deep into stoppage time. Alapati Leiua of Bristol Bears looks dejected after his try is disallowed (Image: Getty Images) “That was a chance to take the lead but even then we had chances to win. The last play of the game, looking like we might lose, it hits the post and then we go all the way the other up the end. It sums up our season and the character of the boys. “The feeling is flat, we got two points which is better than nothing, but we desperately wanted those four points.” Bristol’s top six hopes have been dented but the chance remains there, should they beat Newcastle Falcons in two weeks’ time and results elsewhere go their way. The Bears end the season at home with a record of six league wins, four defeats and a draw. The challenge now is to sort out the away form and, if they can, Bristol will most certainly push up the table next season.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0097.json.gz/line1419821
__label__wiki	0.957281	0.957281	Focus On: Blackpool Gerry Prewett The last time Bristol Rovers faced Blackpool at home, they were coming off a victory over Oxford, last weekend they were defeated at home by Oxford. As the Tangerines were beating the U’s Rovers were being thumped by promotion bound and recently relegated Wigan. What happened to Rovers last weekend? There is no doubt there was a sense of disappointment at the Mem as seemingly promotion bound Sunderland gave a very efficient and effective performance to take all 3 points and Rovers were never really a threat. Graham Coughlan will be looking for a more penetrating performance from his team this weekend. The big news from the Fylde coast this week has come off the field, with Owen Oysten and his daughter both being thrown off the Board of the Lancashire Club. With the financial strains affecting everyone from the players to the tea-lady, Manager Terry McPhillips says he can already feel the buzz and excitement around the town, as thousands of Blackpool fans prepare to return home to Bloomfield Road next weekend. Speaking at his press conference to preview this weekend’s game, he also revealed that the Court Appointed Receiver Paul Cooper and new Executive and Managing Director Ben Hatton had now addressed the first-team squad about the club's current situation. “We’ve been expecting something to happen and it sort of has happened this week. We’ve met with the receivers and the new board members and they’ve met the players. The receiver is in to do his job and he’s very professional and good. He’s told us to just carry on doing what we do, so we have. They spoke to the players and said pretty much the same.” “There is obviously an excitement around the place. People are buzzing in the street and all gearing towards a big crowd here against Southend.” Bizarrely Oysten’s daughter Natalie Christopher attended a Football League quarterly meeting in Derby on Thursday despite being removed from the club's board on Monday. Christopher was meant to be prevented from joining the meeting, as she no longer has any role with the club her father Owen Oyston controlled from 1988 to last week. That was when receiver Paul Cooper took the reins after being appointed by a judge to sell the club in order to settle the Oyston family's £25million debt to former club president Valeri Belokon. Cooper sent club secretary Steve Edwards to Derby to represent Blackpool and Press Association Sport understands there is now considerable annoyance at Bloomfield Road about Christopher's involvement in the meeting. There is still a matter of a possible 12 point deduction hanging over the club. In the game at Bloomfield Road, Oxford threatened early on when Rob Dickie nodded Luke Garbutt's floated free kick into the side netting before the half hour. Then the home team’s Mark Howard diverted Mark Sykes' dipping effort behind, 10 minutes from half time, with the Blackpool stopper later denying the Oxford man from distance. Howard was powerless to stop Graham's sublime curling free kick, which flew over the wall and nestled in the top corner five minutes from the break to give Oxford a surprise lead. As the second-half got underway, Josh Ruffels headed Nick Anderton's dangerous 53rd minute cross to safety with Armand Gnanduillet poised to draw Blackpool level. Curtis Tilt went close to levelling the scores before the hour after rising highest to meet Harry Pritchard's free-kick as Blackpool pressed, while substitute Jordan Thompson nearly took advantage of some uncertain Oxford defending with less than 20 minutes left. Garbutt tested Howard with a low drive and Blackpool's Joe Dodoo stung Eastwood's palms at the other end with a powerful strike as Oxford managed to hang on and Inflict Blackpool's first League One loss since New Year's Day. Speaking after the game Blackpool Boss Terry McPhillips said, “It was one of those days. They came here to defend their half which you expect. In training the last couple of days the lads have done brilliantly, patterns of play and all that and we looked dangerous. But we didn’t do enough.” “They’re desperate for the points where they are in the table and it’s a great win for them. They haven’t got bad players, they’ve got good players that’s for sure, it’s an expensive team and we knew it wasn’t going to be easy.” “We didn’t play as well as we know we can play and it’s disappointing not to back up the two draws away from home with a win here. But today, we’ll have to take it on the chin because we haven’t done well enough.” There have been a total of 35 meetings between the clubs over the years and 32 0f those games came in the years between 1974-2000. The first game took place at Eastville on 28 September 1974, after Rovers promotion to Division Two and the away team came away with both points (just two for a win in those days). Paul Hart, Micky Walsh and substitute Stuart Parker scoring for Blackpool and Bruce Bannister scoring a penalty for Rovers. The return match at Bloomfield Road on 15 March 1975 saw a battling 0-0 draw. Things were better for Rovers the following season as they won 4-1 in Lancashire on 25 October 1975, Wilf Smith, Gordon Fearnely (2) and Bruce Bannister with another penalty for Rovers and Alan Suddick for Blackpool. The biggest margin in these games came on 21 February 1987 when goals by Paul Stewart (2), Mark Taylor (2), Craig Madden and Mike Davis saw Blackpool notch 6 to Rovers single goal from David Mehew. Possibly GasHeads all tie favourite game would have taken place on 5 May 1990 as Rovers secured the 1989-90 Third Division Championship with a 3-0 win at Bloomfield Road David Mehew, Phil Purnell and Paul Nixon all scored to score a famous victory. Prior to last season the teams crossed paths in Bristol was on 2 October 1999 as Rovers won a Division 2 game 3-1 Jamie Cureton (2) and Jason Roberts scored for Rovers and John Murphy for Blackpool. In last season’s game at the Mem, Blackpool took an early lead when Jimmy Ryan's long ball put Kyle Vassell in behind Rovers' back-line and the striker fired a low shot in off the foot of a post. Rovers hit back five minutes before the break when Billy Bodin buried a left-footed drive from a narrow angle, having been put in by a Chris Lines through ball. Ryan Sweeney, who replaced Joe Partington at the start of the second half, stooped to nod home Billy Bodin's in-swinging cross from the right with six minutes left. The points were made safe in added time when Ellis Harrison’s ran at the Blackpool defence before netting with a low shot from 15 yards. There have been long spells of each club dominating the points in these fixtures. Between February 1976 and September 1977; Rovers Won 3 and Drew 1 of the 4 games. Even better between April 1988 and March 1995 they Won 6 and Drew 3 of the 9 games. Immediately a lean spell started, and between October 1995 and November 1998 it was Blackpool who Won 5 and Drew 2 of the 7 games. Of the last 6 games played Rovers have Won 4, Drawn 1 and Lost 1. Tangerine’s defender Donervon Daniels believes his team were set up wrong against Oxford United and suffered as a consequence, but is looking to Saturday’s game to bounce right back, “We’ve had a few good runs throughout the season and when they come to an end you just get your head back up and keep going.” “I think everybody knows the mental strength we have as a squad, so this isn’t really going to faze us. It’s frustrating for everyone involved but we’re a strong bunch on and off the pitch and we’ll just dust ourselves down, talk about it collectively and go again.” The Seasiders stuck with the diamond formation that had proved successful at Charlton Athletic, where they drew 0-0. But it didn’t prove as effective against Oxford, who boosted their survival hopes with a first win on the road since April 2018. Prior to the match, Boss McPhillips had identified that Oxford were susceptible from crosses, yet he still put his faith in the narrow diamond system. This left the full-backs Daniels and Nick Anderton as the only outlets out wide, resulting in a lot of Blackpool’s attacking play coming through the middle. “It was a frustrating game and a frustrating result, not the one we were looking for and hoping for. There were some good bits, though. They put an amazing free-kick into our net but I don’t think they did anything to really challenge us.” “We were probably a little bit off our game in terms of moving the ball and how quickly we did it compared to normal. We had waves of pressure and put some balls in the box, but we never brought the best out of their keeper and that was frustrating.” “I think a lack of creativity is a strong way of putting it. We had a lot of the ball if you check the stats, and I think the way we went out there to play almost played into their hands by playing through the middle. It felt like our best chances would come from the outside. But our system, the diamond, almost played into their hands, in the first half especially.” “When we realised second half we started to hit the diagonals from Tilty (Curtis Tilt) or Ben (Heneghan), or when (Harry) Pritchard dropped to get the ball from deep. That opened up the midfield. While I thought we had a lot of the ball, we never had that cutting-edge clinical-ness.” Bristol Rovers vs Blackpool on 02 Mar 19	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0097.json.gz/line1419822

In the church we have tended to take the “training” out of “training.” It is rare to find equipping that includes training in our educational institutions or churches. We are great at the academics… Apoluo apoLuo Workshop Library News Sending apoLuo WORKSHOP CONTENT #005: NO BRAINS OF OUR OWN By Rob Heijermans on March 11, 2014 #5 in a series devoted to sending churches.

By Clark Macaulay on February 11, 2014 In answer to the question above, many pastors and those in missions would say there is: the number of qualified servant leaders being graduated by our seminaries and the number of people applying for vocational missionary service has been declining for the last 20 years.

By Clark Macaulay on January 17, 2014 In the article, Focusing on What’s Best a key responsibility of a pastor is training new leaders that are within his congregation. Real training involves more than education (head knowledge). It must also involve skill development (hands) and this is done through mentoring and coaching. Aren’t these the same terms? Mentoring is Relationship The word “mentor” comes… Focusing on What’s Best By Paul Seger on January 17, 2014 “In your work, you should have no more than 3-5 spheres of activity. You can’t do more than five things well. To the extent you are doing more than five kinds of things, you are probably giving insufficient time and focus to one or more of the five.” This is advice from a Christian businessman… Bringing Balance to your Mission Program Every local church has its own distinctive missions philosophy and practices.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AforAllie from Awesome game This game was one of the best games I've ever played. The artwork was beautiful. The architecture and artifacts conveyed the feeling of another culture. The melancholy music conveyed the atmosphere well. The sound effects were realistic. The animation was the best I've seen in a hidden object game. The puzzles were enjoyable. The story was engaging. Bonus puzzle was a little short but worthwhile. Recommended. Rated 5 out of 5 by softwarefever from Best Game EVER! Hated to end this game... My favorite: - H0, you interact, you have to find an object to get another one. As another reviewer stated: - Interesting mini games - Gorgeous graphics - Good music Try to find the 39 hidden turtles and don't skip the Extra. So much fun! Thank you authors! Rated 5 out of 5 by Bored_To_Death from Ancient Mystery: Curse of Blackwater Best game I have played in a long time. I have been a member here since 2010. and have been disappoiinted at times for the length of some of the games I have bought, but this one was great. More of these please. Oh and I did not buy the collectors edition..and still an awesome game. Thanks! Rated 5 out of 5 by arnold1049 from GREAT GAME With 96 reviews already on record, I would just be repeating things, so I'll keep it short and sweet. This is one of the best games I've played in a long time. Rated 5 out of 5 by lilscout71 from best i've played in a long time buy this game! seriously, this is the best game I've seen in quite a while. many times it seemed as if I was playing a MCF game (one of the good ones). There is just so much to do, to see, the puzzles are familiar(sometimes), but still challenging. I especially loved the map, and that it allowed you to jump around wherever you wanted to go. I bought the CE, which I often regret, but not in this case. It had a lot of extra gameplay, and the HO scenes in the CE had an extra element to them. highly highly recommend this great game!! Rated 5 out of 5 by Wandakal1 from GRRREAT Game! This is definitely a "don't miss this one" game, it has 39 different scenes and most of your inventory is collected shortly before you have to use it. A real +++ for memory deficient players like me. Nice long game-play. The bonus was a bit short but the HOS's had a twist that was enjoyable. The puzzles are challenging but doable without having to skip, I did have trouble with one, but perseverance won out. And for over-acheivers there are coupon bonuses for high acheivment players. Rated 5 out of 5 by Mrs_Kim from Wonderful game! Really, there is nothing bad to say about this game, Great voice overs, good storyline, nice graphics, useful hints, fast skip button, very nice map.. I really enjoy playing this game. The first in the series, Lockwood Manor, seems so far away from this one. Seems like the developer really put lots of thoughts into making the sequel and it really shows. The bonus chapter is good and long too, but the HOG scenes and the story seem like another game of its own. It's good, though. Really recommend this game. Truly a wonderful one. Rated 5 out of 5 by Gameritis50 from Couldn't get enough I am not going to bore you with the details. It's awsome!! Rated 5 out of 5 by RyaGems from loved the bonus chapters Over all this was a very good game. I left it mid stream for months. I just picked it back up today and remembered how interesting it was. Played bonus chapter it was great. Rated 5 out of 5 by janniemst from Game is Great...Don't need the CE I enjoyed this game a lot. However, the CE, for me, wasn't needed. The first part was long and the looking for the 39 turtles was enjoyable...I didn't find one of them. I love the HO's in this game. I guess the CE part had the kind of puzzle HO's which I like though, and it was fun...it just wasn't as long as I like a CE to be, and it didn't have the extras which the main game had. I don't like writing LONG reviews as to ALL that this game has...just trust me, it is a FUN game...CE or SE. Great buy!

Analysis, Secrets, and Advice from an Expert for the Real-World Body Language Analysis No. 4049: The Arrest of University Hospital Nurse Alex Wubbels - Nonverbal and Emotional Intelligence (VIDEO, PHOTOS) On 26 July 2017, Salt Lake City Police Detective Jeff Payne arrested Alex Wubbels, a Nurse at the University of Utah Hospital's Burn Unit. The video featured above has gone viral. Another lengthier version of the incident, recorded from a different view is included immediately below. The police wanted to draw a blood sample from a patient who had been in a motor vehicle accident. This patient was unconscious (thus, by definition, patient consent was not possible), the patient was not under arrest, and there was no warrant (electronic or otherwise). These requirements (as per hospital policy and the law) were calmly conveyed (via speech and in writing) by Ms. Wubbels to the police officers. Here is a portion of their dialog: NURSE ALEX WUBBELS: Brad, I'm just putting you on speaker so you can. So, I have the, it says, "Obtaining blood samples for police enforcement from patients suspected to be under the influence", Okay? This is something that you guys agreed to with this hospital. The three things that allow us to do that are if you have an electronic warrant, patient consent, or patient under arrest - and neither of those things - patient can't. The patient can’t consent, he’s (Officer Payne) told me repeatedly that he doesn’t have a warrant, and the patient is not under arrest. So I’m just trying to do what I’m supposed to do - that’s all, so.” * OFFICER JEFF PAYNE: Okay, So I take it without those in place, I’m not going to get blood? Is that - am, am I fair to surmise that? NURSING SUPERVISOR [via speaker phone]: Alex, you're not [inaudible] NURSE ALEX WUBBELS: Yeah, I OFFICER JEFF PAYNE: Okay [over-talking] NURSING SUPERVISOR [via speaker phone]: Why is he continuing to blame you? NURSE ALEX WUBBELS [over-talking]: I don't know. I have no idea why he's blaming me. I'm just referencing NURSING SUPERVISOR [over-talking, via speaker phone]: Why are you blaming the messenger, Sir? OFFICER JEFF PAYNE: She’s the one that has told me "no". NURSING SUPERVISOR [via speaker phone]: Yeah but Sir, you’re making a huge mistake right now, like, like, you're making a huge mistake 'cause you’re threatening a nurse [inaudible] ... OFFICER JEFF PAYNE: Okay. No, we're done. We're, we're done! You're under arrest! [inaudible] We're done!.... NURSE ALEX WUBBELS: No! No! Somebody Help me! Stop! Screaming and yelling follows as Officer Payne grabs Alex Wubbels by the under her arms from behind and shoves her through the [automatic] doors to the outside the building where he then handcuffs her and takes her to a police vehicle. From a body language perspective, the video is fairly limited. We have very minimal facial video of Officer Payne (in the second video). Omitting the physicality and violence associated with the arrest, and concentrating on the preceding events, there are few valuable nonverbal teaching moments, some of which are discussed here. The image above is from 1:05 in the first video, just as Officer Payne says, "She’s the one that has told me 'no' ". You'll note Nurse Alex Wubbels' abdomen, torso, head (and with high probability, her feet too) are not pointing at Officer Payne (his body camera is recording this video). Only her eyes are turned to meet him/his face. Human beings have a strong tendency to NOT look directly (e.g., not "whole body point") at people whom we: Don't respect Don't trust If we go back a few seconds to 0:41 (also in the first video, just after she says, "I’m just trying to do what I’m supposed to do - that’s all, so" and as Officer Payne says "... Okay, so I take it ..."), we can see Nurse Wubbels just after she momentarily turned toward Officer Payne. She immediately turned her torso and head away while maintaining eye contact. Nuancing her facial expression further, we can see her: Upper eyelids open widely Lower eyelids tense Flared Nostrils Central Forehead Contracted Eyebrows lowered Although not fully expressed, Nurse Wubbels is displaying a face of fear (this was also expressed, but more subtly, in the first image). In the second video, during 5:43 - 5:45, as Officer Payne says, "Okay, So I take it without those in place, I’m not going to get blood?", he is seen grabbing his own right wrist with his left hand as he gestures with his right hand in a palm-down fashion (this image was captured during 5:44 as he says "... without ..."). Gesturing with one's palm oriented downward carries an alpha emotional tone - and the added rapid oscillation elevates it to a hyper-alpha level. It's gesture of power and authority. A person using palm down-gestures has his mind made up. He cannot be reasoned with - for he's far from his emotional baseline. The gripping of his own wrist here portends the violence which is about to occur. Officer Payne's attempt at self-control and his growing frustration with Nurse Wubbels is momentarily displayed with his own wrist acting as a temporary surrogate for her. Update: Although Nurse Alex Wubbels was assaulted, told she was under arrest, handcuffed, held against her will, and prevented from doing her job (all in front of her co-workers) - she was kept on hospital grounds and released that evening without arrest. Officer Jeff Payne remains on duty but has been removed from the field and has been taken off the police department's Phlebotomy unit. There are both ongoing civilian as well as an internal police investigation regarding this incident.

__label__wiki	0.905732	0.905732	Thailand ‘Not Sincere’ in Negotiating with Southern Rebels, BRN Leader Says Nani Yusof Narathiwat, Thailand, and northern Malaysia Sukree Hari poses for a photograph at a café in northern Malaysia, June 9, 2019. Nani Yusof/BenarNews The lead negotiator for Muslim rebels fighting for a separate state in southern Thailand has slammed the government as insincere and indifferent in peace talks over the past four years. Sukree Hari headed a rebel delegation at peace talks with the Thai government from 2015 until May, when he resigned citing health issues. He was among three individuals at the talks said to represent the largest and most lethal group fighting in Thailand’s Deep South, the Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN). “The Thai government is not sincere about resolving the conflict in Patani. The negotiations held thus far were a tactic for wasting Malay Patani people’s time,” Sukree said, referring to the three southernmost provinces of Thailand and the ethnic Malay Muslims who live there. “Whatever was agreed together at the negotiating table, the Thai side was not willing to sign, and that is clear proof that the Thai side was just pretending in the negotiations, playing for time,” he said in a recent interview with BenarNews in northern Malaysia. MARA Patani, the panel representing separatist groups and factions at the Malaysia-brokered talks, has not yet named a replacement for Sukree, according to its spokesman. “We have to wait for the names suggested by BRN. Sukree Hari has to attend an upcoming meeting and express his views. … If he is determined not to lead the Mara dialogue panel, BRN will have to name his successor,” Abu Hafez Al-Hakim told BenarNews in a text message. The peace talks personnel change would be the latest in a series, after Thailand replaced its head negotiator in October 2018 after Malaysia brought in a new mediator in August. Talks launched in 2015 under the junta that ruled Thailand until earlier this month have been on hold, and their only outcome – a proposed ceasefire in one province or “safety zone” – never took place. The negotiations were dogged by allegations that rebel leaders in touch with fighters on the ground were not participating in the talks and did not support the effort. But Sukree denied this. “BRN is BRN … the issue about the real or not real BRN is an issue that aims to divide BRN in the eyes of the people of Pattani, so that they lose confidence in BRN,” he said. ‘BRN has never shown itself’ Sukree declined to answer when asked if BRN was responsible for attacks in the south in recent years that are never claimed by any group but typically blamed on “dissidents” by Thai security forces. The region has been under martial law almost continually since 2004. In the latest attacks Wednesday, three soldiers patrolling a road in Bacho district of Narathiwat province were seriously injured when suspected insurgents detonated a bomb, authorities said. “The attackers hidden in the area triggered the bomb with a radio device,” police Capt. Paiboon Keudam told BenarNews. “Suspected insurgents are aimed at disputing the area, we believe.” On Monday, three marines were injured in a roadside bomb attack in the same district while traveling in a light armoured vehicle. Analysts said the BRN is a secretive group in which cells operate independently and people higher in the organization sometimes learn about attacks after the fact. “That’s the way they are structured. It’s foolproof. The Thais can take down one cell but not reach the other,” security analyst Don Pathan, an expert on the Deep South, told a United Nations Development Program representative in an interview about the conflict last year. “The insurgents are part of the community … they’re everywhere but nowhere. And they have multiple roles. One minute you could be tapping your rubber or feeding your chickens, the next minute you set off a roadside bomb and then follow up with a brief gunfight,” he said. In a recent interview, BenarNews asked Areepen Utarasint, a retired nine-term MP representing the Deep South province of Narathiwat, if people there support the BRN. “How are people supposed to know and support BRN? Because BRN has never shown itself,” he said. ‘We still have peace talks’ Thai officials meanwhile stressed that talks were under way at various levels, although the last publically announced formal meeting with MARA Patani was in 2017. “At present, we still have peace talks in accordance with national strategy. The Thai government is always open for all dissident groups to talk, without forcing anyone to,” retired Lt. Gen. Udomchai Thammasarorat, the chief Thai negotiator, told BenarNews. “Currently, talks still go on. There is some progress with some groups. Once the talks are done it will become official,” he said, without elaborating. Maj. Gen. Tira Daewa, director of Peace Operations Center at the army’s regional internal security command (ISOC-4), said that many rebels were being enticed to surrender through such talks and only “10 percent of them want to continue with an armed fight.” “In regard to Sukree Hari, you should see who he is. He doesn’t want to talk to us, we don’t either. There are 90 percent of them want to talk with us,” he said. On June 14, Abdul Rahim Noor, the Malaysian facilitator of the talks, said talks would resume “in two weeks,” but this did not occur. “It seems that everything is still up in the air; no one seems to know what the talks will look like, said Pathan, who is a BenarNews columnist. He noted that Sukree had asked the Thai government to drop Udomchai as a negotiator after he took the safety zone proposal off the table and reached out to the central committee of the BRN. “Just weeks ago, Sukree decided to step down. In my view, there is an opportunity for both sides to come together now that the ‘spoiler’ Sukree is gone,” he said. “The attitude among the MARA Patani and Thai officials is that, a bad peace process is better than no peace process at all.” Mariyam Ahmad in Pattani, Thailand, and Kate Beddall in Washington contributed to this report.

In 1960, he came back to the area for a wedding and was enchanted by the view from the terrace of Castello di Monsanto. It was love at first sight which made him buy the property within a few months. But if Aldo was bewitched by the landscape, Fabrizio, his son, immediately fell in love with the wines he found in the cellar. Thanks to a passion for wine handed down to him by his grandmother, who came from Piedmont, and to an innate entrepreneurial spirit, Fabrizio, together with the untiring help of his wife Giuliana, started to plant new vineyards and convert the numerous farmhouses. In 1989, Laura, Fabrizio’s daughter, started to work in the company and gradually learned the land, the people who worked it and her father, the marvels and difficulties of the natural evolutive process which transforms grapes into wine. The 2013 vintage of this wine was a Top 100 Wine of the Year, Wine Spectator, and we believe this 2015 is even better!!! Tenuta Le Calcinaie Chianti Colli Senesi Riserva Santa Maria Simone Santini 2013 With zero exaggeration, we waited an entire year before we were able to get this beautiful Chianti into the U.S.A. and we are so happy it is here now at the Bottle Shop! Before it was bottled, we tasted it out of a large traditional Tuscan barrel called a botte at the organic estate of Simone Santini, and we had to have this wine for our collection of Tuscan reds. Full of deep Sangiovese flavor and character yet fresh, balanced and pure, this 2013 Riserva will make both Chianti Classico and Brunello lovers sublimely happy. Look for dark red fruits, licorice, flowers, spices, sauvage character and wild herbs. Serve with roasted and braised meats, rich pasta dishes, hard cheeses and more. Organic + Biodynamic Moraitis Sillogi White 2017 This fine quality estate is owned by Manolis Moraitis whose grandfather founded the winery in 1910. Today Moraitis is the only privately owned wine estate on the island, and Manolis is working with his son Theo; soon he will also work with his son Savvas after his military duties are complete. Sillogi white, from the region of Cyclades on Paros Island, is made of Malagouzia and Assyrtiko grapes. Super fresh, dry, zesty and long in the mouth, this will immediately remind you of the sea and all of its seafood riches. Look for tangy citrus, lemon, lime, briny green olive, sea breeze and oregano accents and think of pairing this with raw oysters, shrimp cocktail with a squeeze of lemon or lime, mussels in garlic, oil and herbs, cold seafood salads, ceviches, gazpachos, salted fishes (cod/white anchovy/sardine), sheep's milk cheeses, green olives or simply on its own as an aperitif. The Greeks serve toasted bread with olive oil, sea salt and oregano on top which is an ideal accompaniment to this wine and perfect as you are waiting for your seafood dish or nibbling in between courses. If comparing this wine to something more familiar, I would say it reminds me of a cross between a fine Chablis and a Gruner. We visited Moraitis Winery in June of 2010 and hiked around their organic vineyards in different locations on the island, then visited the winery for a tasting of all of their wines. Father Manolis and sons Theo & Savvas were our hosts, and Manolis' wife whipped up a light lunch for us after the tasting. She served a super smooth, delicious Taramosalata, fresh Parsley and Onion spread on toast topped with a kalamata olive, rustic sunflower seeded breadsticks and chunks of Graviera cheese: Greece's 'other' sheep's milk cheese. Graviera seems to be used in Greece as their table cheese, and the Feta cheese is used in Greece's most famous salad of tomatoes, feta, olives, onion and crusty bread. Posted from an article about Greek wines on PunchDrink.com: 'THE OUTLIER' Moraitis Sillogi Cyclades White 2016 "Moraitis is one of the historic properties in Naoussa, on the island of Paros, farther north in the Cyclades. Their Sillogi combines assyrtiko with malagousia, a fragrant grape from the mainland, both grown in organic vineyards on Paros. If there’s a bit less of the volcanic intensity found on Santorini, but a minty herbal side and slightly leesy richness give this both complexity and freshness. It’s the sort of wine that telegraphs the success Greek island whites could have, if just a few more pinot grigio drinkers made the switch." bot92 Domaine Dominique Gruhier L'Ame des Dannots Bourgogne Epineuil 2015 This small Pinot Noir vineyard of less than 5 acres in size is located in the up and coming appellation of Epineuil just northeast of Chablis. With its s outhwest-facing vines planted in deep Kimmeridgian soil, it is an excellent position for cool climate Pinot Noir. The domaine has been certified organic since 2015 and winemaker Dominique Gruhier vinifies this wine with 100% whole cluster, mostly pump-overs during 3 weeks in tank, pneumatic pressing and 18 months aging in barrel (30% new). He has Massale selection for new vine plantings and an average yield of 45 hL/ha with annual production at only about 250 cases. The village of Epineuil is located just northeast of Chablis, sharing the same Kimmeridgian soils. Bourgogne Epineuil is the regional AOC, created in 1993, for the reds which are 100% Pinot Noir. We tasted and positively adored the wines of Gruhier for two years in a row at Frederick Wildman's famous barrel tasting of new Burgundy wines. Dominique does not add any sulfites to his wines, making Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in a very natural way. His wines are ripe, velvety, delicious, and very fresh…Gruhier wines are classic Burgundian Pinot Noirs from a lesser-known AOC, and very worth seeking out. Dominique Gruhier hasn't had it easy, getting his domaine to this point. Throughout his many troubles which included frozen vineyards, fires and lawsuits, he remained one of the warmest, most charming, welcoming, well-mannered, and smiling men in Burgundy. As his domaine and his relatively obscure appellation began to attract more customers, he has been able to make the investments and changes that were necessary to let his talent shine. What beautiful wines have emerged! Fine, sexy, juicy, vivacious, saline and chalky. They are some of the greatest values we have tasted in Burgundy, and what we like to think of as 'Chablisien Pinot Noir'. wa90+ Domaine Michel Lafarge Bourgogne Passetoutgrain 2017 Domaine Michel Lafarge is one of the great producers of the wines of Burgundy’s Volnay appellation. The domaine is small, owning just under 25 acres of vines, and producing only about 4,000 cases annually, but the wines are models of their genres. The family has been cultivating grapes in Volnay since the early 19th Century and possibly back to the late 18th Century. Very gradually did the Lafarges accumulate, piece by piece, the portions of vineyards that comprise their domaine; these include Volnay Clos des Chênes and the wholly owned Clos du Chateau des Ducs, Beaune Grêves, Pommard Pezerolles (all Premier Cru) and parcels of Volnay village and Premier Cru, as well as Bourgogne Aligoté and Bourgogne Passetoutgrain and a village Meursault. Lafarge was a pioneer in bottling its own wine, rather than selling the wine to a negociant, beginning with the harvest of 1934. The wines see only about 25 percent new oak, typically aging for 15 to 20 months, depending on the vintage and the vineyard. The entire domaine has been farmed on biodynamic principles since 1997-2000. Passetoutgrain is a unique red wine of Burgundy. Bourgogne Passetoutgrain is a blend of Pinot Noir and Gamay, producing a juicy, fragrant, uncomplicated and affordable red. The appellation (officially, Bourgogne Passe-Tout-Grains) actually covers the entirety of Burgundy, and was first designated in 1937, though its history (and the devotion of winemakers) dates back much further. In his 1831, Statistique de la Vigne dans la Département de la Côte d’Or, Dr. Morelot, a Burgundian landowner and one of the first writers to explore the region’s various terroirs, wrote, “Passe-Tout-Grains makes, in the propitious years, an excellent [wine]… It presents a color of a beautiful red a lot of body, of spirituality, and a particular bouquet that is not without pleasure.” This legacy of endearment continues today. The wines produced under this appellation are ready to drink nearly as soon as they’re bottled and many winemakers still keep back a good portion of their production to drink with family and friends. In fact, that these wines have made it to the U.S. at all is thanks to a number of devoted importers, including Kermit Lynch, Becky Wasserman and Neal Rosenthal, who have been similarly charmed by how easy they are to love. The name, which loosely means, “throw it all in,” is a nod to the heritage of these wines as field blends, in which Gamay and Pinot Noir have historically been co-planted in vineyards in Burgundy’s Côte d’Or, and then co-fermented. That’s changed somewhat over the years, with many winemakers today sourcing the grapes separately, from different parcels. But as prices for both red and white Burgundy continue to escalate, Passetoutgrain, which by law is composed of at least one-third Pinot Noir and no more than two-thirds Gamay, is becoming ever more obscure. And it’s the Gamay that’s the problem—growing it on land that’s prime for Pinot Noir or Chardonnay just doesn’t make all that much fiscal sense. Today, Gamay constitutes a mere 2.5 percent of the plantings in Burgundy (outside of Beaujolais, of course), and that number is shrinking. Fanny Sabre, a young producer in the Côte de Beaune, made outstanding Passetoutgrain, but pulled out her old, low-yield, co-planted vines in Volnay to plant Pinot Noir after the 2011 vintage; Digloia and Meo Camuzet followed suit in 2015. This is the trend. As a result, the production of Passetoutgrain has drastically decreased: the five-year average production from 2007 to 2011 was 740,000 gallons; from 2012 to 2016, it was just 340,000 gallons. Despite the small quantities, more than 80 producers still make a Passetoutgrain across Burgundy. And, while on paper the bulk of Burgundy’s Gamay is planted in the Mâcon—at the warm, southern end of the Côte d’Or—some of the best producers have theirs in lauded parts of both the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. Many of these producers are also working with vines that have been around for generations (at Domaine Michel Lafarge, for example, the vines for the Bourgogne Passetoutgrain were planted in 1926) for reasons that have more to do with a loyalty to these wines than with profit. Tiamo Pinot Grigio 2018 The Pinot Grigio grape has its origins in France from the Pinot Gris variety, but today, this popular grape is best known for the crisp, dry whites coming from northern Italy. We were thrilled to find such a tasty, fresh and stylish one made in the hillside vineyards of Veneto from 100% organic grapes. The Veneto region is ideally suited for the Pinot Grigio grape, where the particular composition of the hilly soil, exposition to the sun and mild summer temperatures combine to provide excellent conditions. Made by Cantine Volpi which has been producing wine for over 50 years, Tiamo Pinot Grigio is produced from a 12 hectare, certified organic vineyard near the town of San Polo di Pave, in the heart of the Treviso countryside. The vines average 20-25 years, and all of the grapes are picked by hand. Tiamo Pinot Grigio is dry, clean and crisp with notes of apple, pear and citrus, and hints of flowers and minerals. Serve with white fishes, shellfish, green salads, lemon chicken and mild cheeses. Iuli Barbera del Monferrato Superiore Rossore 2016 This Barbera from Monferrato in Piedmont is an extraordinary, high quality Barbera made by winemaker Fabrizio Iuli. Rossore, named after the color Barbera puts in your cheeks, was in reality the first wine Fabrizio ever produced in 1998, and the predecessor to his Barabba label. He blends 100% organic estate fruit into the Rossore, including fruit from Barabba, his ancient plot of Barbera. The result is a wine with a ripe, chocolately nose followed by a palate packed with flavor, ripeness and underlying acidity and tannin. The Barabba vineyard is his oldest plot of Barbera, with vines planted in 1930 and 1960, located on a steep, rocky hill with a limestone core. The core of the blend is from vines planted between 1980-1998 from south-facing parcels. Rossore is aged in concrete and large French oak casks of 1700-2500L for 25 months, followed by 6 months in bottle. 11,000 bottles made. Fabrizio Iuli calls himself a barberista , for his love, focus and dedication to the Barbera grape. Located in the small town of Montaldo in Monferrato, which is the home of many of Piedmont's top Barbera wines . We had the incredible opportunity to visit Iuli, hike around the vineyards and taste wine out of barrel and bottle with Fabrizio. His wines clearly have a purity, honesty and joyfulness to them that we just love. They are also seriously complex at the same time. Rossore Barbera will be a flavorful crowd-pleaser with many types of foods. Grilled or roasted meats, oven roasted tomatoes, baby back ribs, pasta dishes with meat sauces, aged cheeses and salumi, a thick-cut bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich and more will pair amazingly. Iuli is set among the last band of dramatic hills and valleys before descending into the rich flatlands of the Po river valley, with the Alps as a backdrop on a clear day. If you're headed to Montaldo, chances are it is to see Fabrizio Iuli. His family figures prominently and colorfully in the town's history. In the 1920s, his grandfather, Gioacchino Natale Iuli, like many young men from the countryside, was courted by a factory job in Lombardia. In a twist of fate, Gioacchino heard that a burgeoning marching band had been formed in Montaldo, so he packed his bags and headed back to become its clarinetist and to start a family. The first vines were planted around 1930. Fabrizio's grandmother, Ernestina, established a little osteria in their living room, a place with warm food and warm hospitality that became a gathering point for the village. There was much conviviality and Iuli Barbera flowing. Though no longer an official restaurant, the feeling continues to this day with Fabrizio and his wife, Summer Wolff, cooking up a storm and popping bottles. It is a place that sucks you in, where time seems to stand still, if only temporarily. Today, Fabrizio is the only winegrower in the town. His first commerical vintage was 1998, with his Barbera called Rossore. The grapes found in his vineyards are Baratuciat (a nearly-extinct white variety from the Val di Susa), Slarina (a red Monferrato variety also almost lost), Grignolino, Nebbiolo, Pinot Nero, and, of course, Barbera. There are 35 contiguous hectares of land in one valley, with 16 hectares planted to vine. Certified organic, the land has never seen any chemicals. Despite being ridiculed by neighbors, Fabrizio's grandfather and father never succumbed to pressure to buy products they felt were meant to fix something that wasn't broken. The isolation of the place suits Fabrizio's desire to instigate and protect biodiversity. The thick surrounding woods keep the prospect of a monoculture at bay. They contain many white truffles in the season; they also house many wild boar, who can and do devour a crop of grapes. Some end up at Cascina Iuli in the form of 'Barbera Pig' stew. The wines are Piedmontese to the core, ultra-reflective of the poor, but limestone-rich soils and northernly climate with cool nights. Each wine has a reason for being; each wine has extreme drinkability without losing seriousness or intrigue. They are concentrated in their fruit, but also have a lightness and florality that feel very "Iuli." In the cellar, Iuli's trajectory over the years has become increasingly non-interventionist. Fermentations are carried out spontaneously, with a little so2 added after malolactic fermentations. The tradition in the area is to use concrete tank and large oak cask. Fabrizio wouldn't dream of deviating from that lineage. He adores, collects, and restores small concrete vessels. There's a room in the cellar in which they're lined up like little misfit robots waiting to be deployed. The wines are aged slowly and statically, bottled unfined and unfiltered, when taste and an auspicious moon deem they're ready. Antidoto Ribera del Duero 2018 We are so happy to have this wine back in stock! 'Antidoto' means Antidote... because the young, passionate French winemaker Bertrand Sourdais, created this wine to capture the essence of the Ribera del Duero region he so deeply loves, at a pricepoint that is affordable to many. The region has suffered from 'sticker shock' in recent years, in order for consumers to get the best wines. But Antidoto is made from the highest quality old vine sites in the renowned Soría zone. Bertrand first gained winemaking fame in this region for his pioneering wines made at Atauta. But when the winery was sold in 2009, his gaze shifted to his family’s Chinon estate in France’s Loire Valley so he returned home to make wine there. Yet all the while the 'pull' of Soría remained strong so he soon returned to the region to make a new wine with a more modest price tag which—like all of his work at Atauta—would be full of the soul of ancient-vine Tinto Fino. Wherever possible, he also employs organic and biodynamic methods. Bertrand poetically describes the Soría zone as 'sitting on the rooftop of Ribera,' where temperatures are cooler than in the rest of Ribera del Duero, giving the wines added freshness. There are numerous soil types, but most of them have two things in common: their poorness and an abundance of sand that has kept Phylloxera away for the past 150 years. As a consequence this is one of the largest concentrations of ungrafted vines in Europe. To Bertrand’s mind, the Soría sub-zone offers a transitional wine type that can—in the right hands—blend Rioja’s fragrance and finesse with Ribera del Duero’s traditional power and depth. He is using long, gentle macerations to minimize tannin extraction and no new barrels are employed for aging. The immediate goal is a wine with balance, perfume, and complete tannins. Francois Baur Sang du Dragon Pinot Noir 2017 This Pinot Noir from the Alsace region is an absolute beauty and a wonderful example from northern France. With its perfumed aromas of red and black fruits, mocha, vanilla, forest and stones., Sang du Dragon Pinot is smooth, silky and pure, with a perfect balance of fruit, acidity and gentle tannin. Pair at home with salmon in dried cherry sauce, roasted chicken or fine cheeses and charcuterie. Continuous vine growing in Alsace dates back to Roman times; viticulture in the Brand area was recorded in 1328 from documents of Paris and the abbeys of Munster. Red wines have been traditionally rare in Alsace because of the region's cool growing season and northerly location, but today we are seeing more and more reds produced with changing climates and organic winemaking methods. The name for this Pinot, 'Sang du Dragon' comes from an old legend...when the valley of the Rhine was still underwater, a dragon emerged from the waves to rest on the protruding Brand hilltop. The sun was too fierce, however, and its rays eventually pierced the dragon's scales, drawing blood. Gravely wounded, the dragon dragged itself to a cave where it then died. Many centuries later, wine growers came to plant vines in this area. Still fertile with the dragon's blood, legend has it that the vines even today produce a wine of fire. Today, Baur's wines carry the dragon's image. In an email we received from Virginie Baur, she told us : "Sang du Dragon means dragon's blood. There is a legend that a dragon was slain in this vineyard (the Brand vineyard), and the blood of the dragon made the vines strong. 'Brand' means "land of fire" in German and is a Grand Cru Vineyard but only Muscat, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer and Riesling can have the Grand Cru Appellation according to the AC laws, so we named the wine 'Sang du Dragon'." The story is fun for sure, but the wine itself is amazing. We drink it at home often, it is a wonderfully terroir -driven treat! Over the past several years, Baur has converted his vineyards to fully biodynamic production--a totally natural approach to the cultivation of vines that makes every attempt to respect the plants, the soil and the environment. No weed killers or insecticides are used; instead, certain types of grasses are encouraged to grow between the vines which actually strengthen the soil. To provide aeration, the earth is plowed manually a few times a year. Only natural products are used on the leaves of the vine itself: Work is scheduled according to the phases of the moon, often at night while the vines are resting and not fatigued by the sun. Studying in the same biodynamics class as Jean-Michel Deiss, one notes the fervor with which Pierre Baur (Virginie's father) now addresses his work; it has become a religion to him and, he trusts nature explicitly in his vineyards. Soulful Spain Yá Cuvée 23 Brut Reserva 2015 ‘Ya’ means ‘Yes!’ in Spain and we say ‘YES!’ to this estate grown sustainably farmed Cava, made from handpicked fruit, 100% free run juice (mosto flor) and high quality methods (i.e. aging 2 ½ years on the lees before disgorging like a true Champagne), making it especially perfect for 'good bubbly' drinkers looking for a tasty bargain. The Sumarroca family owns vineyards in the Penedes, planted to local grapes (Parrellada, Macabeu and Xarel-lo,) plus a little Chardonnay to enhance the delicacy of this Cava. Fresh, dry and clean with lemon citrus, white flower, mineral, anise and a hint of croissant in the nose and on the palate, this is simply delicioso and a truly elegant sparkler. Cava pairs particularly well with sautéed shrimp, fried calamari, fried artichoke hearts in lemon, cold asparagus salad, sheep's milk cheeses such as Manchego and Serrano Ham, and/or with a main course of fresh white fishes like Cod with yellow Spanish rice and vegetables. R.O.Q. Corporation R-Oh* Montsant 2015 This is a very cool wine from Spain, made from very old vines of Garnacha & Carignan. The name R-OH* means 'Radical Spirit Earthy & Elegant' to its makers, and we just love the rich, sultry taste of it. Made from dry-farmed bush vines planted in the D.O. of Montsant, in Catalonia, the northeast corner of Spain (not too far west of Barcelona), Montsant is technically part of the greater Priorat region, and surrounds the specific land designated as Priorat. Although geographically 'together', each of the two regions have their own individual styles due to their soils. The soil in Priorat consists of layers upon layers of slate, whereas in the Montsant, the soil types vary. There are limestone, red clay, stone, and some of the same slate that’s in the Priorat, but only in a few areas of the region. The main grapes in both areas are Garnacha, Carignane, and Garnacha Blanc. This delicious wine is from a tiny vineyard (less than one acre) planted on a steep hillside, located in Cornudella de Monstand, the highest and coolest subregion of Monstant. The soil is covered with red clay strewn with licorella (slate) and codolls (round river stones). Classic food pairings would be beef, lamb, pork, sausages and porcini mushrooms.. The grapes for R-OH* are hand harvested in early September from dry-farmed bush vines more than 60 years old, and then the grapes are strictly sorted for even more perfection of fruit. A blend of 60% Garnacha and 40% Mazuela (Carignan), the wine was fermented in concrete vats and aged 4 months and then in 2 year old American oak. Only 1000 cases produced. Marques de Murrieta Rioja Reserva 2015 Tasted and loved by our staff, Marques de Murrieta has a long, meaningful history at the Bottle Shop. When we were first learning about wines, it was very important to our dad for us to know the best, most classic wines of every great winemaking region in the world. In Spain, Marques de Murrieta was at the top of his list. We had the opportunity to taste old wines from Murrieta from vintages such as 1968 and 1959 with him while we were still in the infancy of our wine training. The estate is very much a traditional estate in style. While rich and deep in flavor, the fruit is multi-layered but not 'New World jammy'. Red and black fruits, cedar, leather, hints of spices, even hints of tar are revealed. We would pair this with Spanish-inspired cuisine, especially pork or lamb dishes. WINE ADVOCATE reports: 'Yes, this is one of the oldest wineries in Rioja, created back in the 19th century, and they keep their traditions, but now but each wine is selected from specific plots, something that they have done since the year 2000, a year that marked a big change in the winery. I feel more balance and better integration of the oak with the wine in recent vintages. I really liked the wines I tasted and was very excited to be shown a tank sample of the 1986 Castillo de Ygay Gran Reserva Blanco. Yes, you have read it correctly, it was a tank sample which is waiting to be bottled after almost 21 years in wood and 6 years in tank that will be released sometime in the future. I simply loved it.' wa93 Domaine Hudelot-Baillet Chambolle Musigny Vieilles Vignes 2015 Domaine Hudelot-Baillet is a true Chambolle-Musigny producer with cellars in the town as well as holdings entirely within the appellation. The domaine was created in 1981 by Joël Hudelot (inherited largely from his father Paul) and his wife Chantal Baillet. Joël retired in 2004 and passed along the reins to his son-in-law Dominique Leguen, who had been working with him at the domaine since 1998. The viticultural philosophy is organic though the domaine is not technically certified. There are no insecticides used and sexual confusion is employed instead to combat problematic bugs. The harvest is performed manually with sorting work done in the vineyards and again at the cuverie if necessary. The fruit is 100% destemmed, and the new oak program averages 30% for the villages wines , 40% for the 1ers and 50% for the Bonnes Mares. The wines are given 12 to 18 months of élevage before being bottled, generally without fining or filtration. Hudelot describes his intended style as one of finesse, succinctly explaining that "all of my appellations are in Chambolle and finesse is what we do best." wa91-93 Domaine Arlaud Cyprien Arlaud Vosne Romanée 2015 Domaine Arlaud was born from the marriage of Joseph Arlaud from the Ardèche, and Renée Amiot of Burgundy. Her family owned a few choice parcels of land in the Côtes de Nuits, including within Clos St. Denis and Bonnes Mares. Part of the couple’s wedding gifts included these parcels and so was born Domaine Arlaud. Joseph’s son Hervé Arlaud took over the estate in 1982 and expanded the domaine with purchases of prime vineyards, mostly in their home village of Morey St. Denis. Today, the star of the show is Hevré’s son Cyprien, who in the last ten years, has come into his own as one of the most exciting growers in all of France. Cyprien Arlaud took the reins of the domaine in 1997 with the simple and unwavering vision of making pure, benchmark Burgundy. He knew the only way to achieve this goal was to be forward thinking in the cellar, and most importantly in the vineyards. The same year he was put in charge, he began the conversion of the estate to biodynamics (certified in 2014). He also began using horses to plow domaine vineyards in order to keep the soils as healthy and alive as possible. He has top holdings in Morey St. Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, Gevrey-Chambertin, and Vosne-Romanée and his sister Bertille handles the horse plowing. This beautiful Vosne-Romanee is from the lieu-dit of ‘Aux Communes’, considered to be one of Vosne’s finest. Located a stone’s throw from the prestigious Clos des Réas, this extraordinary wine was aged in barrel (20% new) so as not to be too oaky. From a winemaking perspective, Cyprien is what we call non-interventionist. Under Cyprien’s stewardship, elegance has been the focus with lower levels of extraction and the reduction of new wood to zero on the Bourgogne and 15-30% on the rest of the lineup. Partial whole cluster is used on the upper level wines (maximum 30%), purely on the nature of the vintage and if the stems are perfectly ripe. The cellar in Morey St. Denis is one of the coldest in the Côtes de Nuits, helping Cyprien pursue a slow, non-interventionist vinification, with minimal use of SO2. All of his wines are also bottled unfined and unfiltered. Domaine Confuron-Cotetidot Vosne-Romanée 2015 The Confuron's have been vignerons since the seventeenth century during the reign of Louis XIV. Their specialty was and continues to be vine selection and propagation. They have led the way in identifying top selections massales and even have a clone of the noble Pinot Noir in their name: Pinot Confuron. The family crafts village level wines from four villages in the Cotes de Nuits – Nuits-Saint-Georges, Vosne-Romanee, Chambolly-Musigny and Gevrey-Chambertin (as well as Pommard) – and they have an impressive array of premier cru and grand cru sites, including the famed Vosne Suchots (they are one of the largest holders), Echezeaux, Clos Vougeot, and tiny plots of Charmes Chambertin and Mazis Chambertin. Today, Yves Confuron holds the reins at the estate with the help of his oenologist brother Jack in the cellar. Their parents Jacky and Bernadette work the vines as they dutifully have for over fifty years. The vineyards, averaging 65 years of age, have never been treated with synthetic herbicides or pesticides and great attention is taken to minimize yields through regular plowing, short pruning and green harvesting in the spring. At harvest, triage is done both in the vineyard and in the cellar. Grapes are consistently harvested late to ensure ripe stems. Yves follows his family tradition of 100% whole-cluster fermentation, followed by long cuvaisons of two to three weeks and extended barrel ageing of up to two years. The villages wines tend to see 10-20% new oak, only a tad more for the 1er Crus, and up to a maximum of 50% for the Grand Crus. The wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered, and they show remarkable aromatic intensity, spice, purity of fruit, and striking minerality from their fantastic terroirs. Domaine Dominique Gallois Gevrey Chambertin 2015 Located in the historic village of Gevrey-Chambertin, Domaine Gallois is run by the ever humble and quality-driven Dominique Gallois. His great-grandfather built the family's wine cellar and home in 1901 among the family's vines in Gevrey. Today, this 12 acre estate has holdings in Bourgogne, village Gevrey, premier cru Gevrey and grand cru Charmes-Chambertin. Dominique believes that 'nature is boss' and he is known to have one of the coldest, oldest cellars in the region for long, slow fermentations and great aging potential for his wines. He also produces the wines with vegan methods (so no egg whites for fining). We tasted and loved this Gevrey, the quality is simply stunning. Ultra smooth and caressing, with red fruits abounding, this is Pinot Noir as it should be. A great wine to introduce the American Pinot Noir drinker. Domaine Faiveley Gevrey Chambertin les Cazetiers 2015 Founded in 1825, today Domaine Faiveley combines the principles of modern winemaking methods with the time-honored traditions of France's noble Burgundy region. Domaine Faiveley owns a single 5.06 acre parcel of the total 25 acre Les Cazatiers vineyard. The vineyard is located high on the hillside in the northern part of the appellation bordering the equally famous 1er Cru of Clos St-Jacques. Exposure is due east with soils made up primarily of white marl (clay) and limestone gravel. They only produce about 1200 six packs of this great wine in any given vintage. Château-Roc-de-Minvielle Bordeaux 2015 This is such a terrific value in red Bordeaux, featuring a darling label with hearts and roses, perfect for celebrating Valentine's Day. Growing grapes since before the French Revolution, this estate has been owned by the Gadras family since the 1800’s. Today it is Pierre Gadras taking care of the vines, thinning leaves for maximum sunshine on the grapes and pruning back for fruit concentration. Planted to mostly Merlot with Cabernet Franc, this is exactly what we look for in a lovely petit château Bordeaux. Look for ripe, plump aromas of blueberry, cassis, licorice, plum and bing cherry. Fresh and alluring, this exudes grace versus power and has wonderful flesh and charm. Galardi Terra di Lavoro 2013 Originally built in 1850, the Galardi farm was restored in 1991, by five cousins aiming to bring the estate to all of its glory. Located in Campania, Galardi is composed of 25 acres planted to local varieties on the Tyrrhenian Sea. Campania is famous for its capital city of Naples, and for the invention of pizza. The Galardi winery and surrounding hillside vineyards are located at approximately 1300 feet above sea level and benefit from ideal growing conditions, including climate and exposure. The name of their praised icon wine, Terra di Lavoro, which translates to Land of Work, reflects the challenge of cultivating the area’s extremely rocky volcanic soil. Yields and overall volume are very low (only 2 tons per acre are procured), only a few thousand bottles are produced each year. By focusing on the native varietals Aglianico and Piedirosso, the owners and famed winemaker Riccardo Cotarella are able to take advantage of the low yields, which enhance the flavor profile and structure of their wines. Today Galardi is owned and managed by run by four cousins : Maria Luisa Murena, Arturo and Dora Celentano, and Francesco Catello. They strive to maximize the intrinsic characteristics of native grapes Aglianico and Piedirosso through attentive and careful vineyard management. Caparzo Rosso di Montalcino 2016 Caparzo was established towards the end of the 1960’s. The vineyards of the Caparzo Estate include about. 90 hectares (210 acres) in Montalcino. The estate is located on a hillside area 220 metres above sea level, facing south and south-east. They grow Sangiovese, Sangiovese Grosso, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Bland and Traminer. The company has grown and adapted with the times all while maintaining and respecting the traditions of the terroir.

Therefore, Rosso di Montalcino has earned the nickname of 'baby Brunello.' Also, Rosso di Montalcino wines spend less time in wood compared to Brunello di Montalcino, and are perfect for more simple meals of classic Tuscan fare.

Cellier des Dauphins Cotes du Rhone Reserve 2018 The Cellier des Dauphins vineyards lie in the Rhône Valley, with the foothills of the southern Alps rising in the distance. In these terroirs, sun-drenched vines swaying in the southern breeze, grow the renowned grape varieties that have made the Côtes du Rhône famous: Syrah, Grenache, Viognier and other local grapes.

Julia James Pinot Noir 2018 Sourced from a few of California’s best Pinot Noir regions: Russian River, Santa Lucia Highlands and Monterey, Julia James is crafted by a veteran winemaker using sustainable farming methods in the vineyards. ‘How is it possible to make a California Pinot this good at this price? This baby looks like a Pinot, smells like a Pinot and tastes like a Pinot – there’s bright acidity fresh cherries, darker fruits, a light footprint and no oak overkill. My guess in a blind tasting would be that this is a $40 Willamette or Anderson Valley Pinot.’ forbes.com ‘20 best reds under $20’ Château-Siaurac Lalande de Pomerol 2015 Our family has had a long-time love affair with Ch â teau Siaurac in Lalande-de-Pomerol. The estate has been producing beautiful wines for 200 years, in the 'satellite' appellation of Lalande-de-Pomerol. Long associated and marketed with Château Pétrus in Pomerol, we always considered Siaurac such an incredible value for an authentic, velvety, delicious red Bordeaux. As a 'satellite' of the esteemed Pomerol area, Lalande-de-Pomerol has a similar climate and similar soils to its famous, luxurious neighbor. The owners of Siaurac are oriented toward quality, not quantity, and strive to express the unique typicity of the soils and climate (which we call the terroir ) . The Ch â teau has also been certified organic since January 2009. The average age of the vineyard is between 25 and 30 years. Today, Siaurac is owned by the owner of Château Latour, Francois Pinault and the Artemis group. It i s therefore made by an exceptional, world class team : the technical director from Chateau Latour, Penelope Godefroy, has worked with Jean-Claude Berrouet, the winemaker at Pétrus for 40 years. The 2015 Siaurac is a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. It tastes rich, velvety and pure with notes of cherry, mocha, licorice and rose petals. We have enjoyed many bottles at home over the last 25 years of this under-the-radar, classic Bordeaux red. Pair with filet mignon, lamb chops, roasted pork, Comté Gruyere cheese, Petit Basque sheep's milk cheese, meat pâté and/or cured meats. Melville Estate Pinot Noir 2015 Owned by father and son Ron and Chad Melville, Melville is an estate driven winery, which focuses upon Burgundy and Northern Rhone style wines. Located in the heart of Santa Rita Hills, in Santa Barbara County, the estate has 85 acres planted to vineyards. Winemaker Greg Brewer makes Pinot Noir, Syrah, Chardonnay, and Viognier for the family. After having owned vineyards in Napa, Ron Melville came to Santa Rita and never looked back. Calculated composting, complex cover cropping practice and deficit irrigation, matched with a tremendous amount of crop reduction and canopy management are the critical components to Melville’s strength as wine growers. This is 100% Melville fruit from Melville's Sta. Rita Hills estate, and is a collection of 16 pinot noir clones. 40% of the fruit was fermented as whole-clusters with 60% gently de-stemmed in small (1.5 ton) open-top fermenters. Total skin and stem contact averaged 30 days (7 day cold soak, 2 + weeks of fermentation and 1 + week extended maceration). From the press, the wine was transferred directly into neutral barrel (old French oak), where it remained sur lie without sulfur until June, when it was gently racked for the first time and prepared for bottling in August. Yields were 3.6 lbs/vine (3.3 tons/acre). Montes Classic Series Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 This Cabernet has been a huge success at the Bottle Shop. Made of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot, this was aged for 6 months in French oak, and has good body with cassis, black cherry, mint and spice complexities. Made from grapes grown in Chile's Colchagua Valley, which has become famous for good Cabernet's, this is one of the greatest value in Cabernet in the market. Winemaker/Owner Aurelio Montes was named "Winemaker of the Year" by Wine Spectator in the years 2002 and 2006. Montes and his partners run a great, quality-driven operation in both Chile and in Argentina at Kaiken. Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 In 1971 Charlie and Lorna Wagner asked their young son Chuck if he would be interested in joining them in starting up a winery and he leapt at the opportunity. They produced their first vintage in 1972, consisting of 240 cases of Cabernet Sauvignon and they continue to focus their efforts on top quality Cabernet Sauvignon to this day. Caymus Vineyards remains 100% family-owned by the Wagners. Charlie, Lorna Belle, and Chuck worked together as a remarkable team for over 30 years building Caymus Cabernet. Today, Chuck, his two sons, Charlie and Joe, and one daughter, Jenny, have joined the family team. Farming grapes remain the priority with the family farming about 350 acres of prime Napa Valley land. The Wagners took the name Caymus from the Mexican land grant known as Rancho Caymus, given to George Yount in 1836, which encompassed what eventually became the town of Rutherford and much of the surrounding area. Caymus Vineyards produces two Cabernets Sauvignons - a "Napa Valley" and the venerable "Special Selection". Both Cabernet bottlings have aromas and flavors which can only be achieved through "hang time" - a technique which chances the loss of crop if early winter sets in. Leaving the fruit to "hang" on the vine unusually long develops suppleness, increases color, and matures the tannins of the grapes. The wines are abundant in textural tannins yet soft as velvet. Crop thinning, allowing measured sunlight to reach the vine's fruit zone, and waiting for increased ripeness are all part of our viticultural practices. Caymus Cabernets offer a wide array of aromas and flavors including cocoa, cassis and vanilla. Chateau Tour Saint Christophe Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2015 The Tour Saint-Christophe estate in Saint Emilion boasts a beautiful terraced vineyard which looks upon Barde-Haut from the other side of the valley. Owned by Peter Kwok, one of the first Asian investors in Bordeaux in 1997 with the purchase of Haut-Brisson, Tour St.-Christophe is typically made of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc (although this vintage is 85/15). Kwok, who lives in Hong Kong but was born in Vietnam, owns 40 hectares of vines with Chateaux Tour Saint Christophe, Haut-Brisson and Tourans in St Emilion, plus Enclos Tourmaline and La Patache in Pomerol, and Enclos de Viaud in Lalande de Pomerol. Our Favorite Picks Lucien Albrecht Cremant d'Alsace Brut Rosé Having a party this New Year's Eve??? This is such a delightful, elegant, crowd-pleasing sparkling wine for serving 4 - 400 people! Made of 100% Pinot Noir using the classic methode champenoise , this has strawberry red raspberry and vanilla suggestions that are enhanced by the wine's wonderful ripeness and freshness, with saline and toast notes on the creamy, lush finish. The history of the Albrecht family as winegrowers can be traced back to 1425 with Romanu Albrecht, who lived in the town of Thann in the Haut-Rhin department of Alsace. During this time in the fifteenth century, Alsace experience a golden era. The Winegrowers Guild of Alsace was founded and each year, the most deserving wine grower was elected by the guild as Bangard, a highly respected position. Between 1520 and 1698, it was held by 8 generations of Albrecht's. Domaine Albrecht experienced a major development under the guidance of Lucien Albrecht, the father of Jean, to become one of the most important in Alsace with holdings in 9 villages surrounding Orschwihr. In 1972 Lucien Albrecht was also a pioneer of Cremant d'Alsace. Today the Cremant is one of the house's specialties. The cellar dates back to 1772 and houses large oak barrels, some of which are over 100 years of age… J.J. Vincent Pouilly Fuissé Marie Antoinette 2017 If you like flavorful, elegant, dry whites with a touch of wood, this Pouilly-Fuissé is the perfect wine for you! This 2017 is outstanding, exhibiting real terroir coupled with fresh, pure fruit flavors. It is our favorite vintage in 10+ years! Made of 100% Chardonnay, 'Marie Antoinette' Pouilly Fuissé is made from grapes grown in several parcels belonging to owner Jean-Jacques Vincent's two sisters, and the wine is named after his mother, Marie Antoinette Vincent. The soils of the different vineyards impart their own special characteristics into the wine. The stony soils of the Vergisson Vineyards provide the beautiful acidity, elegance and minerality, while the clay soils in the Fuisse vineyard give the wine its full-bodied structure and generous fruit character. The wine is vinified separately in small oak barrels by Jean-Jacques' son Antoine, and then blended to achieve a well-balanced Pouilly Fuissé, combining all the wonderful characteristics of the different 'terroirs'. Serena Sutcliffe, MW, has referred to Jean Jacques Vincent as "one of the most brilliant makers of white Burgundy". He is also the owner/winemaker at the celebrated Chateau Fuisse, and also produces an outstanding line of special selections under his own name with his talented son Antoine Vincent now firmly by his side. The 'Marie Antoinette' is one of the wines under the 'JJ' label. I sold this wine to restaurants in NYC for many years while working for Frederick Wildman and Sons, and my clients loved it for the quality and the price! Also a New York Times favorite, who called it 'deliciously focused and refreshing...the Marie-Antoinette was weighty yet focused with smoky fruit and mineral flavors. 3 Stars.' Chateau Prieure-Lichine Margaux 2016 The history of Châteaux Prieure Lichine is long and interesting. It started out as a priory for Benedictine monks. The monks produced Bordeaux wine for dinner and various religious ceremonies. Like many estates during the French Revolution, Prieure Lichine was seized, split up and sold at auction. In 1789 parts of Prieure Lichine were bought by numerous surrounding Châteaux in the Margaux appellation. Since that time, the vineyard has sold wine under several different names including La Prieure and Prieure-Cantenac. By the time the noted author and merchant Alexis Lichine arrived in the Medoc to buy Château Prieure, the vineyard was down to only 11 planted hectares. Because the estate was no longer in the best condition, Château Prieure-Lichine was sold for a song. Rumors are, the estate was bought for the ridiculous sum of only 8,000 British Pounds! In 1951, Alexis Lichine put together a group to purchase the chateau along with several other chateaux in Margaux at the time, including Château Lascombes.After the estate was purchased, it was renamed Château Prieure Lichine, to honor the previous name and history of the property they retained the first part of the name, Prieure, and next they added the last name of the new owner. Thus Château Prieure Lichine was born. Durant & Booth Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 Established in 1877, Durant & Booth was originally a popular grocery store located at the Oakville crossroads, which is the gateway for Napa wine country. Harvested in the cool morning hours from vines in Calistoga, St. Helena and Rutherford, the grapes were handsorted, macerated, then aged for 20 months in 30% new French oak. Red fruit aromas of strawberry and cherry lead to raspberry and blueberry flavors mingling with dark chocolate and spices. This is a structured and elegant Cabernet Sauvignon with great depth. The wine is textured and has a long-lasting finish. Made of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot and 1% Merlot. Iuli Barbera del Monferrato Umberta 2018 Fabrizio Iuli calls himself a barberista , for his love, focus and dedication to the Barbera grape. Located in the small town of Montaldo in Monferrato, which is the home of many of Piedmont's top Barbera's, the Iuli estate is organically farmed by Fabrizio, and his old vine vineyards have a strong core of limestone which adds a distinctive terroir . We had the incredible opportunity to visit Iuli, hike around the vineyards and taste wine out of barrel and bottle with Fabrizio. His wines clearly have a purity, honesty and joyfulness to them that we just love. They are also seriously complex at the same time. This 'Umberta' is the first wine of the estate; the name comes from the fact that 'Umberto' is one of the most common names in Piedmont. 'King Umberto' who was born in Torino was the son of the first King of unified Italy in 1861. The 'Umberta' is made of 100% certified organic Barbera and aged in stainless steel. Unfined and unfiltered, Fabrizio only makes about 1000 cases per year. Rich, ripe and zesty red and black fruit aromas lead to plush black raspberry, licorice and plum flavors on the palate. This is one of my house reds to serve with just about anything calling for a red. I have officially become obsessed with Barbera, naturally from Piedmont, and I hope the world will discover its virtues! Quick note on the label: Fabrizio decided in the 2013 vintage to finally stop the exhausting process ( aka madness !) of proving to the Italian government that his wine was 'real Monferrato'. Maybe his tiny hometown of Montaldo is too small for even fellow Italiano's to know about! But we were there, and we walked his vineyards, and this wine is indeed made of 100% Barbera in Monferrato, regardless of the VdT designation versus the DOC. Iuli is set among the last band of dramatic hills and valleys before descending into the rich flatlands of the Po river valley, with the Alps as a backdrop on a clear day. If you're headed to Montaldo, chances are it is to see Fabrizio Iuli. His family figures prominently and colorfully in the town's history. In the 1920s, his grandfather, Gioacchino Natale Iuli, like many young men from the countryside, was courted by a factory job in Lombardia. In a twist of fate, Gioacchino heard that a burgeoning marching band had been formed in Montaldo, so he packed his bags and headed back to become its clarinetist and to start a family. The first vines were planted around 1930. Fabrizio's grandmother, Ernestina, established a little osteria in their living room, a place with warm food and warm hospitality that became a gathering point for the village. There was much conviviality and Iuli Barbera flowing. Though no longer an official restaurant, the feeling continues to this day with Fabrizio and his wife, Summer Wolff, cooking up a storm and popping bottles. It is a place that sucks you in, where time seems to stand still, if only temporarily. Today, Fabrizio is the only winegrower in the town. His first commerical vintage was 1998, with his Barbera called Rossore. The grapes found in his vineyards are Baratuciat (a nearly-extinct white variety from the Val di Susa), Slarina (a red Monferrato variety also almost lost), Grignolino, Nebbiolo, Pinot Nero, and, of course, Barbera. There are 35 contiguous hectares of land in one valley, with 16 hectares planted to vine. Certified organic, the land has never seen any chemicals. Despite being ridiculed by neighbors, Fabrizio's grandfather and father never succumbed to pressure to buy products they felt were meant to fix something that wasn't broken. The isolation of the place suits Fabrizio's desire to instigate and protect biodiversity. The thick surrounding woods keep the prospect of a monoculture at bay. They contain many white truffles in the season; they also house many wild boar, who can and do devour a crop of grapes. Some end up at Cascina Iuli in the form of 'Barbera Pig' stew. The wines are Piedmontese to the core, ultra-reflective of the poor, but limestone-rich soils and northernly climate with cool nights. Each wine has a reason for being; each wine has extreme drinkability without losing seriousness or intrigue. They are concentrated in their fruit, but also have a lightness and florality that feel very "Iuli." In the cellar, Iuli's trajectory over the years has become increasingly non-interventionist. Fermentations are carried out spontaneously, with a little so2 added after malolactic fermentations. The tradition in the area is to use concrete tank and large oak cask. Fabrizio wouldn't dream of deviating from that lineage. He adores, collects, and restores small concrete vessels. There's a room in the cellar in which they're lined up like little misfit robots waiting to be deployed. The wines are aged slowly and statically, bottled unfined and unfiltered, when taste and an auspicious moon deem they're ready. Iuli Malidea Vino Rosso 2017 Located in the town of Montaldo in the far north of Monferrato, Iuli is an organic farm and winery, owned by Fabrizio Iuli. Today only 92 people live in his little hometown, a charming, soulful place where we had the good fortune of visiting on one of our European wine buying trips. Monferrato is the home of many of Piedmont's top Barbera wines, which Fabrizio crafts from his old vine organic vineyards, but he also makes this gem made of 100% Nebbiolo. Named Malidea, which translates to 'Bad Idea', since who would wish to make Nebbiolo in the 'Land of Barbera'? But Fabrizio wanted the challenge so in 1999 he planted these vines. The south-facing vineyard was harvested in mid-September in 2017, nearly a month earlier than usual due to the drought conditions of the vintage. Vinified in concrete with 21 days of maceration, aged 16 months in large French oak 2500 L casks, then aged in bottle for 6 months before release. Only 4200 bottles made. The Iuli estate is organically farmed by Fabrizio, and his old vine vineyards have a strong core of limestone which adds a distinctive terroir.

Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona Rosso di Montalcino 2017 Ciacci Piccolmini is one of the most sought-after producers in Montalcino. This ancient estate has 35 hectares of superior holdings in the prized Castelnuovo dell'Abate zone, including the 'Pianrosso' vineyard (from which the best grapes are selected for the Brunello di Montalcino) and the 'Fonte' vineyard, which produces grapes for the Rosso di Montalcino. This Rosso is made of 100% Sangiovese Grosso, with bright and rich red fruit, earth, dried citrus zest and gentle spices. The vineyard is organically farmed and the wine is fermented in stainless steel and concrete vats before being transferred to large Slovenian oak where it rests for 12 months. Only 1000 cases are typically produced in each vintage. Robert Moncuit Extra Brut Blanc De Blanc A family-run estate with organic vineyards, Champagne Robert Moncuit has a five generation history. Alex Moncuit started the vineyard in 1889, and in 1928 his grandson Robert created his first cuvée and Champagne Robert Moncuit was born. Robert continued to produce this exceptional Champagne until his death in 1987. His daughter Francoise took over the estate, and her son Pierre has been winemaker since 2000. Until 2000 all the wine was sold in France. The estate has 8 hectares under vine in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger which is the same renowned village where Krug's famous 'Clos du Mesnil' vineyard designate is made, and the Le Mesnil-sur-Oger is where the Salon family first realized and then convinced the world that this area was beautifully suited for Champagne made from 100% Chardonnay. The Moncuit family produces all 'Blanc de Blancs' Champagne, meaning 100% Chardonnay. Their vines are tended without the use of pesticides and herbicides. The fruit is hand-harvested and sorted, with each parcel vinified separately to optimize the outcome of blending. All of the wines are fermented and raised in tank, the goal being contact with the lees. The malos happen naturally, they don't filter or chapitalize. The base wine for this Brut is 2010 with about 20% reserve from 2009. Approximately 30% of the cuvée is aged in oak. This is the only wine in his range that sees any oak so as not to mask the beautiful chalkiness of the Mesnil soils. Made with 8g dosage. Loveblock Sauvignon Blanc 2019 Loveblock is the project of husband and wife team, Kim and Erica Crawford. After selling their enormously popular brand Kim Crawford, they forged ahead with this organic vineyard in Marlborough, believing deeply in embracing a natural life and protecting the environment. Kim is the winemaker and has fashioned a deliciously pure and balanced Sauvignon with white peach, fig and herb notes in the nose and mouth. This will pair particularly well with sushi and sashimi, lemon grass-accented Asian fare, green salads and crispy asparagus dishes. Sottimano Barbera d'Alba Pairolero 2017 This is an exceptional Barbera from the Sottimano family who is well-known for high quality Barbaresco wines. While Nebbiolo may be 'king' in Piedmont (Nebbiolo is the grape used in Barbaresco and Barolo), the other two main red grapes of the region, Dolcetto and Barbera, are becoming more exciting due to the commitment of high quality growers such as Sottimano, Sandrone and Clerico. The 'Pairolero' Barbera is a blend of two different vineyards of Barbera in Neive; Curra' and Basarin. Winemaker Andrea Sottimano uses only natural, indigenous yeasts in the winemaking and the malolactic fermentation is completed in French barrels, where the wine remains for approximately 15-16 months. 25% of the barrels used for aging are new, the remaining 75% have previously been used for up to 4 times. There is no filtering and no fining prior to bottling. Barbera has become one of our favorite 'everyday' reds with a full range of foods. Serve with white meats, light red meat dishes, bright tomato-based sauces, cheeses, olives, cured meats and more.

__label__cc	0.645309	0.354691	C. Paul Brannon WM. Dennis Brannon Call For A Free Consultation With Local Attorneys Pre-existing Injuries And Personal Injury Claims On behalf of Brannon & Brannon posted in Injuries on Tuesday, October 6, 2015. This year, Florida's Second District Court of Appeal weighed in on whether or not a pre-existing injury unrelated to a car accident was relevant and discoverable by the defendant. In Muller vs. Walmart Stores, the plaintiff alleged he sustained an injury at a distribution center when he was struck by a truck owned by Walmart and driven by one of it's employees. During discovery (the information gathering phase of the case), plaintiff revealed he had served in the U.S. army and had three different injuries in that time period. The plaintiff stated that he was not asking money for the aggravation of those prior injuries. Regardless, the defendant requested the plaintiff's entire military personnel file, some of which is classified as sensitive information. The plaintiff argued these records were irrelevant to the case at hand. The trial court granted the defendant's request, but the appellate court reversed. The appellate court found that, while there may be relevant information in the plaintiff's military records, the records also contain a lot of information that would not be pertinent to the present case. Thus, permitting the defendant access to the records would be "highly intrusive to [the plaintiff's] private interests." Consequently, the case was remanded (sent back) to the trial court, so that the trial court could receive the military file, review it, and only disclose the relevant documents to the defendant.

General Sarfraz Sattar was next in line to be Bajwa's successor as the Army Chief, albeit Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan and later the President approved a three-year-long extension for Bajwa, effectively scuppering Sarfaraz's prospect. According to a report by Resonant News, Sarfaraz, along with six other disgruntled senior officers, joined hands with Supreme court Chief justice Asif Saeed Khosa to block Bajwa's tenure extension. It may be noted here that around 24 Lt Gens will have retired from the post in the next three years and Bajwa's extension would have spoilt their chances for the coveted post. The Supreme Court's verdict whittled down Bajwa's three-year-long extension to mere 6 months, owing to which Sarfraz had to bear the brunt of being a dissident, and he and his family members have been under house arrest since then, despite the fact that Sarfraz has already resigned from the service on November 26. Sarfraz has been superseded by Lt Gen Nadeem Raza, who was very recently awarded Nishan-e-imtiaz by the President, and, in the past, had been the Chief of General staff and headed the intelligence and operations. Ostensibly, Raza could take over as the next Chief of Army Staff from Gen Bajwa, the report further states. Earlier this month, Pakistan's upper house of parliament approved a law that allows the government to extend the term of the country's Army Chief. Bajwa, whose tenure ended in November last year, is set to benefit from the new law. First Published: Mon, January 13 2020. 20:12 IST Law Crime News-ani	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0097.json.gz/line1419863
__label__wiki	0.950121	0.950121	Govt to upgrade jobs bank into new portal It will offer more functions and career planning; but economist says revamp only a "band-aid" for deeper issues Tue, Oct 11, 2016 - 5:50 AM Soon Weilunsoonwl@sph.com.sg@SoonWeilunBT Employment growth for Singaporeans and permanent residents last year was so abysmal that a total of 12 MPs raised questions on the subject in Parliament on Monday. ST PHOTO As part of his response, Manpower Minister Lim Swee Say said the government will revamp the jobs bank - set up to give fair consideration to Singaporean job candidates - into a portal that will offer more functions and facilitate career planning. "We will transform the National Jobs Bank into a one-stop and non-stop online marketplace. Jobseekers will be able to explore new career opportunities and conduct job searches anytime, anywhere without having to wait for the next job fair," Mr Lim said. No launch date has been set for the new portal. Mr Lim also told the House that the Manpower Ministry (MOM) and its agencies have stepped up job matching and career services. MOM raises penalties for unfair hiring practices; firm charged over false declaration While economists lauded the government's efforts in facilitating the matching of jobseekers and vacancies, they also urged a deeper rethink on how Singapore's labour force can be structured as new realities emerge. Recent reports by MOM showed that growth in local employment of Singaporean and PRs was only at 700 for the whole year of 2015. Taking in the 200 net loss in the first half of 2016, there was only an increase of 500 in the past 18 months. This stands in stark contrast to the gains seen in recent years. The net increases for 2014 was 96,000, the year before 82,900, and 2012 was 58,700. On the new portal, Mr Lim said that it can act as a career counsellor to jobseekers. Through the Skills Framework function, it will help jobseekers understand what are the career paths, occupations, skill requirements and training programmes available to them in every major sector. Though the revamp can also address underemployment issues, ANZ economist Ng Weiwen said: "I see it as a band-aid measure. Ultimately, it's a resource allocation issue in the labour market." Nomura economist Brian Tan added: "This certainly helps in reducing jobs mismatch as it makes it clearer to people where the job vacancies are, what they require. But at the end of the day it really is up to the worker who decides what jobs he wants to take up. This will require big mindset changes." Mr Lim attributed the plunge in net local employment to cyclical and structural factors. On the cyclical front, more people left employment after their jobs were terminated, completed their contracts or casual employment. More also left to pursue further studies and upgrading, he said. But the more fundamental issue is the shift in demographics. The size of the youngest working demographic group of ages 15 to 24 years old entering the labour force peaked in 2013, Mr Lim noted. The number of retirees is also on the rise. Should demographic trends go on, "we will see a continued slowdown of local labour force growth, towards negligible levels, or even stagnation by the mid-2020s", said Mr Lim. Government policies have helped boost employment in recent years. The re-employment legislation came into effect in 2012, allowing workers to retire when they turn 65. This will be raised to 67 next year. The Special Employment Credit was also introduced in 2012 to help boost employment for older workers. These initiatives have helped attract untapped potential workers into the labour market. Singapore's labour force participation rate, or the proportion of the population eligible and want to participate in the workforce, is now at 83.1 per cent. But this high percentage also means there isn't much more room to raise the percentage. On top of that, Singapore is scrutinising its foreign labour initiatives, which might result in controlled flows of external sources of labour. Singapore's policy on foreign manpower must thus be "well-balanced", said Mr Lim. If Singapore relies too much on them, wages will be suppressed, productivity will be low. Conversely, closing the doors on foreigners will also mean that economic growth will be slow amidst current demographic trends. The economic impact from this stagnation will be felt if productivity growth is low and foreign labour is curbed. When these three drag on, "our economy will eventually stagnate too", Mr Lim said. "Our future norm should be 2 to 3 per cent of quality growth, not 1 to 2 per cent of low growth," he added. Thus, economists see the new online portal as a new addition to the arsenal of policy options the government has already introduced to boost employment. But ANZ's Mr Ng also urged the government to think more about how tertiary students and workers can be equipped with the right sets of skills in a fast-changing labour market landscape. "It's very hard to stay ahead of the curve. So, what skills are students picking up before they graduate? How quickly can workers change their skillsets?" he mused.

[SAN FRANCISCO] Yahoo's quarterly profits shot up by more than double to US$163 million even as it prepares for a takeover by Verizon. "We remain very confident, not only in the value of our business, but also in the value Yahoo products bring to our users' lives," the company's chief executive Marissa Mayer said in the earnings release, which beat expectations despite only a slight rise in revenue. Yahoo skipped its usual quarterly earnings call with analysts due to the pending takeover by the US telecommunication company, for which Ms Mayer said Yahoo is busy preparing despite recent revelations about a major data breach that may affect the deal. Shares were up 1.3 per cent to US$42.22 in after-market trades following the earnings report release, reflecting confidence the breach is not prompting a significant number of users to abandon Yahoo. Revenue for the quarter that ended on Sept 30 came to US$1.3 billion, up from the US$1.2 billion in the same period a year earlier. Time for ST Telemedia, Singtel to inject their data centres into Reits? Mobile revenue during the quarter reached US$396 million, up from US$271 million the previous year. "We launched several new products and showed solid financial performance across the board," Ms Mayer said. The internet pioneer agreed in July to sell its core assets to Verizon for US$4.8 billion, ending a 20-year run as an independent company. The deal would separate the Yahoo internet assets from its more valuable stake in the Chinese online giant Alibaba. However, Verizon said last week that a recently revealed hack affecting 500 million Yahoo customers worldwide could have a "material" effect on the US$4.8 billion deal. The comments from Verizon general counsel Craig Silliman suggest the telecom company could seek to reduce the purchase price or walk away from the deal. Although the hack took place in late 2014, Yahoo announced it only last month, dealing the faded internet star a fresh blow. The attack was probably "state sponsored" the company said, although some analysts have questioned the source. "We're working hard to retain their trust," Ms Mayer said of Yahoo's users, "and are heartened by their continued loyalty as seen in our user engagement trends". The beleaguered company has made several attempts to refocus after falling behind Google and Facebook in key segments of online advertising.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0097.json.gz/line1419866

She's about to give birth to her first child. She's designing plus size wedding dresses with Pronovias. And now, Ashley Graham is posing for her latest Swimsuits for All collection while pregnant.

The supermodel was one of the first curvy women to cover the pages of Sports Illustrated as a rookie in 2016. And now with a baby of her own on the way, her message about body confidence is stronger than ever before. "My mantra has always been ‘beauty is beyond size,’ and I’ve never connected with those words more deeply than I do right now while pregnant," Graham tells Bustle. "I want every woman to know that every single part of you is beautiful." Graham shared the news of her launch on Instagram on Jan. 7 and explained how her swimsuit designs are made for everyone, pregnant or not. "The real test when we were designing this line was that not all of these are maternity suits," Graham wrote in the post. "All I had to do was size up and they are still supportive and have an amazing fit." The collection consists of 10 swimsuits, some of which come in one-piece and two-piece designs. Shoppers can expect two-piece Aztec-printed swimsuits, tropical florals, blue leopard prints, and colorful striped swimsuits. They're all available to buy right now. Here are just some of the best picks.

Hummingbird is a data analytics and artificial intelligence business for precision farming. It uses Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) – drones to you and me – paired with data collection software enables farms, and their managers, to generate a real-time image of the land and crops’ welfare. From this data, problem areas can be attended when necessary and can work to reduce a farms water consumption, pesticide use and more. Multi-million pound cash boost for Local Enterprise Partnership to fund housing, skills and innovation It has received an undisclosed sum from SmithsonHill, a Cambridge-based joint venture between landowners Russell Smith Farms Limited and Hill Commercial Investments Limited who are united in their vision for the future of AgriTech. Directors from SmithsonHill have invested in Hummingbird to enable further development of its product – creating the software architecture to house the company’s machine-learning algorithms. Hummingbird will have its Beta rollout in 2017 across a number of pioneering growers in the East, including working with Russell Smith Farms. Wearable tech for cows? Smartbell developer gets £60k grant Emma Fletcher, managing director of SmithsonHill, said: “SmithsonHill understands the importance of developing science and technology to aid the efficiency of farming and agriculture as a whole. We are aware of the impact of global population growth and the associate increase in food consumption over the next 30 or so years. Six tech start-ups that could change the future of farming “We want to do what we can to help farmers and the industry achieve this production growth in the most sustainable way. Funding innovative start-up companies with the technology and know-how to revolutionise the way we farm is just one way we can do that.” “We are extremely excited to have the support of SmithsonHill and Russell Smith Farms at this pivotal time in our development,” says CEO, Will Wells. “Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things are game-changing new technologies for modern precision farming.

__label__wiki	0.855177	0.855177	Carrie Kablean Jane Austen tours attract visitors from all over the world, taking in the great houses, real and imagined, that come alive in her novels. But you don't have to join a literary tour. Rather like Elizabeth Bennet did in Pride and Prejudice, you can just turn up at ‘Pemberley’ and take a look around (sadly, Colin Firth is unlikely to be there). With or without a chaise-and-four, there are plenty of Jane Austen sites open for inspection, among them: Pride and Prejudice’s ‘Pemberley’ It is generally thought that Chatsworth House (above) in Derbyshire was Jane Austen’s inspiration for ‘Pemberley’. Smaller then than it is now, it would still have been an impressive place back in 1813 when Pride and Prejudice was published and is now one of the grandest residences in England. It served as ‘Pemberley’ in the 2005 film, starring Keira Knightley. However, if you’re looking for the estate with the pond, from which a wet-shirted Colin Firth emerged as Mr Darcy in the 1995 BBC-TV series, you need to be at Lyme Park in Cheshire. Just don’t expect to recognise the interiors there: the inside scenes were filmed at Sudbury Hall in Derbyshire. ‘Netherfield’ Mr Bingley’s stately pile in the 2005 film, the one that had Mrs Bennet so excited, was actually Basildon Park in Berkshire. Like all the other stately homes mentioned here, it is rich in history, sumptuous interiors and impressive art collections. ‘Rosings’ ‘Rosings’, the place the dreadful Lady Catherine called home in the BBC’s Pride and Prejudice, is Belton House in Lincolnshire, a splendid Restoration house with wonderfully formal gardens as well as parkland. (Just how Miss Austen envisaged it.) In addition, it has its own small church, ideal for the equally awful Mr Collins. ‘Meryton’ Diehard JA fans will love Lacock village in Wiltshire, a step back in time even before the crew of the BBC team transformed it into ‘Meryton’, replete with dashing red-coated soldiers and impressionable young ladies. The village, with its half-timbered houses and Abbey that dates back to the 13thcentury, is almost entirely owned by the National Trust. Sense and Sensibility’s ‘Barton Cottage’ Thrown out of their ancestral mansion at the instigation of their horrid sister-in-law, the Dashwood sisters had to downsize to ‘Barton Cottage’ in Devon. For Andrew Davis’s 2008 version of Sense and Sensibility (BBC), a 15th-century cottage on the Hartland Abbey estate became home for Elinor, Marianne and Margaret. What’s more, the cottage, which sleeps eight and has great views down to the north Devon coastline, is available for rent. The Nearby Hartland Abbey was built in 1157 and has grown over the centuries into a fine stately home with extensive gardens. Mansfield Park’s ‘Sotherton Chapel’ and Northanger Abbey Another glorious piece of English heritage,Stoneleigh Abbey in Warwickshire was owned by relatives of Jane Austen. She stayed there in 1806 and astute readers of Mansfield Park will recognize the similarities between its chapel and the novel’s ‘Sotherton Chapel’, plus several characters’ descriptions of the part-Elizabethan, part-Georgian home. (Unsurprisingly, these days visitors can opt for an Austen tour.) Then there is Northanger Abbey, not the Gothic horror that the novel’s heroine expected, but a medieval abbey comfortably transformed into a country home, just like Stoneleigh. Bath Assembly Rooms Jane Austen only lived in Bath for five years and didn’t care for it much. Nevertheless it is a gorgeous city, full of stunning Neo-classical architecture and a huge Roman Bath complex, as well as the backdrop for Northanger Abbeyand Persuasion. You can’t stroll around it without noticing Austen attractions and museums. Maybe start at the wonderfully elegant Assembly Rooms, which hosted balls twice weekly back in Jane’s day. Jane Austen House and Winchester Cathedral These are no figment of an imagination. The Jane Austen House Museum in Chawton, Hampshire, where she revised three of her novels, has personal items belonging to the author and her family (www.jane-austens-house-museum.org.uk). Jane lived there for eight years, until illness forced her closer to her physician in nearby Winchester. She is buried in Winchester Cathedral.

__label__cc	0.725365	0.274635	We always have lots of cool stuff happening – in this section we aim to keep you updated with the latest news from the Castle Triathlon Series. Hever Castle Triathlon celebrates the Castle Triathlon Series season finale, with thousands of athletes and spectators Ce weekend le fabuleux Château de Chantilly a vibré au rythme des sportifs ! Le Triathlon de Chantilly a fêté ses 10 ans dans le fabuleux cadre du château de Chantilly! Chateau de Chantilly Triathlon celebrates 10 years of swim, bike and run this Bank Holiday weekend. Castle Triathlon Series > News > History is made at Hever as Sion Stansfield sets new Bastion course record History is made at Hever as Sion Stansfield sets new Bastion course record Sunday 7th July saw historic performances at Hever Castle’s Festival of Endurance, with a new course record set in the Bastion, Castle Triathlon Series’ full iron distance, infamous as one of the UK’s toughest long-distance triathlon races. Over 1600 athletes took part in a variety of triathlon, multisport, marathon and half marathon and open water swim events, as thousands of spectators took to the Kent castle estate to show their support for the awe-inspiring endurance athletes. Returning to defend his title after taking first place in the Bastion last year, Sion Stansfield returned to the castle this weekend, storming to victory and shattering the course record for the 3.8km swim, 180km cycle and 42.2km run. Fraser Cartmell set the course record at 2014’s inaugural Bastion, a race which has since been described as ‘immense, brutal and brilliant and ‘one of life’s defining races.’ Shaving 8 minutes off the course record and laying down a new challenge for future Bastion athletes, Stansfield crossed the finish line in an impressive 09:48:31, 30 minutes faster than his result in 2018, once again putting Sam Walsh in second place with a time of 10:34:46. Upon finishing Sion Stansfield commented “I was surprised to get in the lead on the bike quite early, it was good fun, I didn’t have good bike legs but I managed to hold it on the run. I won with 10 hours 18 minutes last year and I wanted to have a sub ten-hour time today, this is my full iron distance PB so I’m happy with that. The women’s race also delivered incredible performances, with Cleo Fychan both completing her first full iron distance race an taking first place with a time of 13:53:01, closely followed by Jennifer Ansell with 13:55:58. Fychan commented “ I have completed a half iron distance before at Woburn Abbey, and today I just wanted to come in under 17 hours. I’d read about how hilly the course is, so I’ve been preparing for this race on hills. It made a massive difference having my parents here supporting me from this morning and throughout the day. I want to say to all women competing in triathlon that no fear should stop you from taking on courses like this!” Men’s Bastion Finishers: 1st – Sion Stansfield – 09:48:31 2nd – Sam Walsh – 10:34:46 3rd – Oliver Teenan – 10:51:08 Women’s Bastion Finishers: 1st – Cleo Fychan– 13:53:01 2nd – Jennifer Ansell – 13:55:58 3rd – Emily Carter – 14:25:21 Luke Pollard and Kate Mactear continue Castle Triathlon Series Gauntlet success at Hever Following on from her Gauntlet win at Cholmondeley Castle Triathlon in June, Kate Mactear stormed to the Hever Castle finish line with 05:11:31 on the clock, followed closely by Claire Weller just 13 seconds after. The men’s race saw a close battle after the swim with Edward Castro heading into T1 in first place, chased by Luke Pollard who came with bike legs on Saturday, claiming first place on the cycle leg. The final men’s podium saw Luke Pollard in first place with a time of 04:31:50, with Brett Halliwell in second place. Men’s Gauntlet Finishers: 1st – Luke Pollard – 04:31:50 2nd – Brett Halliwell – 04:38:00 3rd – Matthew Brooke – 04:41:30 Women’s Gauntlet Finishers: 1st – Kate Mactear – 05:11:31 2nd – Claire Weller – 05:11:43 3rd – Amy Harris – 05:31:45 Team Macmillan volunteers cheer on athletes and fundraisers Castle Triathlon Series continues to fundraise for Macmillan Cancer Support, having raised over £300,000 for the charity over 2017 and 2018. 55 fundraisers took part in the Festival of Endurance this weekend. Team Macmillan Volunteers came to support fundraisers and all athletes, creating cheer points in the event village alongside thousands of spectators. Having grown into a multisport festival with Marathon and Half Marathon, a range of long-distance open water swims, aquabike, duathlon and aquathlon, the Festival of Endurance saw over 1600 athletes take to the lake, the cycle course and the castle estate. See the full range of race results here. Inspired to take on the Festival of Endurance in 2010? The Bastion and Festival of Endurance will return to Hever Castle on Sunday 5th July 2020.

Vanessa I’m Gonna Do What the Spirit Say Do. . . I’m Gonna Do What the Spirit Say Do . . . When the Spirit Say Do, I’m Gonna Do Oh Lord . . . I’m Gonna Do What the Spirit Say Do. . . (African American Spiritual) How many times do we talk ourselves out of doing something because of doubt and fear or of lack of confidence or a hardening of the heart? Several years ago, as a young adult in the Church who directed a Catholic lay volunteer service program, I discerned the need to go back to school to pursue my degree in theology and ministry. At that time, I did not have the necessary funds for graduate school and doubted that I would be able to pursue my call. It was during this time, I encountered someone who would change my life. She was Adrian Dominican Sr. Jamie Phelps. I shared with her my dilemma and she told me to ask my employers for the money. I remember feeling that I couldn’t do it, for they had in fact been so generous with me in the past and even if I did ask, I feared that they would most likely say no. She stated that that was one scenario, but at the same time, she reminded me that by not taking any action, I was in fact remaining in the same situation I was currently in, and if I did choose to ask for the funds, that one of two things could happen. My employers could either say no and my situation remained the same or they could say yes and a new world would open for me. “DO NOT BLOCK THE BLESSING,” she said. Now, what was I willing to do? I left Sr. Jamie and went home to reflect and pray. The next day, moved in spirit and in faith, I requested the funds for my education and my employers said YES! They not only paid for my tuition, but my books as well. I had decided to “DO WHAT THE SPIRIT SAY DO.” When the Spirit Say Do, I’m Gonna, Do Oh Lord, I’m Gonna Do What the Spirit Say Do. I am reminded of this song and my experience when I reflect on the encounter between the Canaanite Women and Jesus. I LOVE THIS STORY! Just take a moment and imagine this scenario from the Gospel of Matthew. Think about the boldness of this woman, to go to Jesus . . . a male, a Jew, a rabbi and she a Canaanite, a woman and a mother. . . and boldly request that Jesus heal her daughter. Just imagine all those around her, who probably told her that this was not a good idea. Remember it was also the disciples who told Jesus to send her away. She was considered an outcast, no better than a dog. Who was she to ask for help? But the love for her daughter moved her beyond her fear and doubt to take action. Perfect love casts out all fear. She also knew what the Spirit had called her to do. It was that Spirit of Boldness within her that propelled her to action and moved Jesus to respond in compassion. On that day, her daughter was healed. When the Spirit Say Do, I’m Gonna Do Oh Lord, I’m Gonna Do What the Spirit Say Do. It is that Spirit of Boldness, that Spirit of Action that is needed today. All around us, there are situations and persons in need of Jesus’ healing touch. These are times where we demonize those persons who share different views or come from different religious or ethnic traditions; where we have become desensitized to the pain experienced by our global brothers and sisters; and where those who are sick in mind, body and spirit are crying out to be healed. During these times, we are called to be instruments of God’s healing touch. But to respond in spirit and truth, we must be committed to take the time to be open to that Sweet Holy Spirit . . .that spirit of healing and transformation that guides us and can soften a heart of stone, that builds bridges not walls, that helps to change systems of oppression and hatred and that propels a person to speak truth to power. So on this day, are you willing to “do what the Spirit Say Do”? Is 56:1, 6-7 Ps 67:2-3, 5, 6, 8 Rom 11:13-15, 29-32 Mt 15:21-28 Read texts at usccb.org C. Vanessa White Dr. C.

__label__wiki	0.822528	0.822528	For Ronald Reagan Peace through Strength Did Not Mean War at Any Price By Doug Bandow Alzheimer's robbed Ronald Reagan of his memory. Now Republican neocons are trying to steal his foreign policy legacy. Reagan likely would have been appalled by the aggressive posturing of most of the Republicans currently seeking the White House. Ronald Reagan’s mantra was “peace through strength.” Peace was the end, strength the means. He focused on the Soviet Union and its advanced outposts, especially in the Western Hemisphere. Restraining the hegemonic threat posed by an aggressive, ideological Soviet Union led to Reagan’s tough policy. Still, Reagan avoided military confrontation with Moscow. Indeed, he routinely employed what neocons today deride as “appeasement.” For instance, Reagan dropped the Carter grain embargo against Moscow. Reagan said he desired to encourage "meaningful and constructive dialogue." Lech Walesa and the Solidarity movement were a global inspiration but the Polish military, fearing Soviet intervention, imposed martial law in 1981. No American bombers flew, no invasion threatened, no soldiers marched. Reagan waited for the Evil Empire to further deteriorate from within. However, Reagan wanted to negotiate—from a position of strength, but he still wanted to negotiate. Moreover, as my late White House boss, Martin Anderson, and his wife, Annelise, documented, Reagan was horrified by the prospect of nuclear war, which drove him to propose creation of missile defense and abolition of nuclear weapons. In their book on foreign policy analysts Stefan Halper and Jonathan Clarke observed: "from 1983 onward, Reagan devoted more of his foreign policy time to arms control than to any other subject." Norman Podhoretz, the neocon godfather, denounced Reagan for "appeasement by any other name." Reagan was willing to switch rhetoric and policy when circumstances changed. He recognized that Mikhail Gorbachev was different from previous Soviet leaders. Gorbachev later wrote that Reagan “was looking for negotiations and cooperation." Or, in a word, appeasement. Of course, Reagan was not a pacifist. But he was cautious in using the military. He usually intervened through proxies to counter Soviet or allied Communist influence—an agenda which disappeared along with the Cold War. Reagan used the military in combat only three times. The first instance was Grenada, after murderous Communists ousted their slightly less hardline colleagues. Reagan defenestrated the new regime, simultaneously protecting American medical students and eliminating a nearby Soviet outpost. When the job was done Reagan brought home the U.S. forces. The second case was against Libya in response to evidence that Tripoli had staged the bombing of Berlin nightclub favored by Americans. There was no regime change and nation-building. The third, and sadly disastrous, intervention was Lebanon. The U.S. had few measurable interests at stake in that tragic nation’s civil war, but Reagan sought to strengthen the nominal national government. Washington trained the Lebanese military and took an active role in the fighting. U.S. intervention triggered attacks on both the U.S. embassy and Marine Corps barracks. Reagan recognized that he’d erred. He “redeployed” existing troops to naval vessels which then sailed home. Because he had the courage to back down thousands of Americans did not die fighting in another meaningless Mideast war. Yet neoconservatives denounced him for refusing to occupy Lebanon. Podhoretz charged Reagan with "having cut and run." President George W. Bush argued that Reagan’s withdrawal was one reason terrorists “concluded that we lacked the courage and character to defend ourselves.” Lebanon was a terrible mistake, but Reagan learned from his errors. More important, he was no global social engineer. No one knows what Reagan would think today. But he likely would be angry at use of his legacy to justify a failed foreign policy. As I point out in National Interest online: “When Ronald Reagan left office the U.S. truly stood tall. George W. Bush more than any of Reagan’s other successors squandered the Reagan legacy with a recklessly aggressive policy that ran counter to Ronald Reagan’s far more nuanced approach in a far more difficult time. Similarly, most of today’s leading Republicans, in contrast to Reagan, appear to want strength but not peace.”	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0097.json.gz/line1419889
__label__cc	0.696905	0.303095	cba.org Innovations that could improve access to justice INCLUSIVE JUSTICE Our vision is an inclusive justice system that is equally accessible to all, regardless of means, capacity or social situation. Equal Justice Initiative Research & Consultations Final Report for Reaching Equal Justice Reaching Equal Justice: An Invitation to Envision and Act, Report of the CBA Access to Justice Committee provides a complete, detailed strategic framework for moving toward equal justice. Reports & Discussion Papers Networks, Articles & Blogs Reports And Discussion Papers Browse through our many resources on equal justice for a deeper understanding of the issues. Concerned Citizen CBA Branch READY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE? Take action! A series of small steps by many people can move mountains. Focus on one or two things you can do. DIRECTIONS FOR REFORM The Equal Justice Initiative is founded on extensive research and consultations. In preparing Reaching Equal Justice: An Invitation to Envision and Act, we consulted with lawyers, judges, government officials and politicians, law societies and law foundations, law students, legal aid leaders, marginalized communities and more. Our consultations resulted in a broad consensus on the directions for reform. We surveyed legal aid lawyers, community legal workers and paralegals. We consulted with the legal profession and justice system participants at conferences and meetings of the CBA Council. The CBA prepared five research and discussion papers which were circulated broadly to justice system participants for comments We also integrated results from town hall consultations held in British Columbia, Manitoba and Ontario and consulted with various communities living in marginalized conditions in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Local lawyers and community partners were instrumental in helping to organize and facilitate these consultations. Volunteer law students with Pro Bono Students’ Canada also conducted video interviews with people on the street across Canada. Created in 2011, the Access to Justice Committee identified four major barriers to progress on equal justice: Shortfalls in information Lack of political will and public awareness of the issues Insufficient coordination and collaboration Absence of tools to measure progress or to define what we mean by equal justice While significant efforts and resources have been devoted to improving access to justice in Canada, we found the issue is plagued by lack of coordination, a strategic framework and common vision. We launched the Equal Justice Initiative to help find solutions. The Envisioning Equal Justice Summit The momentum for Equal Justice came together at the Envisioning Equal Justice Summit in Vancouver on April 25-27, 2013. The event brought together 250 lawyers, community advocates, judges, paralegals, law foundation and law societies, and members of the public to discuss the issues. The Summit underscored the idea that justice system participants can indeed work together to solve the challenge of equal justice. It was a turning point to start a different, more productive and coordinated conversation about access to justice. This video highlights some of the participants from the Equal Justice Summit and their views on improving access to justice. The Reaching Equal Justice Report The Equal Justice Summit culminated in a report called Reaching Equal Justice: An Invitation to Envision and Act, published in November 2013.The report summarizes the CBA’s extensive research about why change is necessary and lays out a vision, complete with tangible targets, about how to make that change real. Since 2013, the Committee has developed various resolutions and targets to keep the Equal Justice Initiative moving forward. © Copyright The Canadian Bar Association	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0097.json.gz/line1419891

Alumni Go Back to the Classroom to Celebrate That CBS MBA Programmes Turn Twenty On Saturday 1 November, Ovnhallen was buzzing with activity as alumni from 24 chapters and more than 48 different nationalities came back to campus to celebrate twenty years of graduating MBAs. In 1994, the CBS Executive MBA was launched as a premier MBA programme to develop leaders and less than ten years later the Full-time MBA followed. “We were latecomers to the MBA market, as we already had a successful product in our HD programmes which was in high demand nationally,” former President of CBS, Finn Junge, and then-director of CBS Executive, Claus Valentiner, explained in a joint speech. “With an MBA, we wanted to establish ourselves on the international scene by offering a globally recognised degree. As part of the preparatory research, we spoke with colleagues at other universities and carefully compared our intended curriculum with MBA offerings already present in the market. It is a proud day for us to stand here, twenty years later, among all of you, and celebrate the oldest and most prestigious MBA in Denmark.” 1300 Alumni from 60 Countries Senior executives looking for that 360 business skillset and the cross-industry network which could provide that last boost towards achieving a C-suite position welcomed the CBS Executive MBA programme, which for many years stood alone on the CBS MBA product shelf. Ten years after the launch of the E-MBA, the highly international Full-time MBA programme directed at younger, high-potential executives, followed suit, and CBS is now in the unique position to have the largest and most international MBA alumni network in Denmark, containing 1300 alumni from over 60 countries. “What I really appreciate about being part of the CBS MBA network is the back-to-classroom events,” said MBA alumni Ada Stein, who is American and graduated from the Full-time MBA programme in 2007. “They allow me to constantly refresh my MBA skillset and encourage me to think about about the big picture instead of just focusing on my day-to-day work responsibilities.” Carl Suhr Jessen, E-MBA graduate from 2014, agrees. “We have meetings, social events and we also visit each other’s companies to broaden our knowledge and learn from one another.” CBS MBA - A Highly Recognised and International Brand The anniversary kicked off with a keynote speech from Christian Mariager, CEO of the Danish Tiger stores, who shared the story behind their sky-high growth as well as hinted at the need for constant managerial talent. Shortly thereafter, MBAs found themselves back to where it all began – in the MBA classroom – for a session with their professor of choice. Jesper Rangvid, Associate Dean for the E-MBA, vividly explored why there is no growth in Europe, while marketing and strategy Professor Thomas Ritter stressed the need for constant reinvention of business models and Professor Dana Minbaeva hosted a shared HR session with Lucien Alziari, Chief HRO from A.P Møller Maersk. As the night wore on, long-ago classmates found themselves falling back into the jovial jargon of their MBA days. To borrow a phrase from Charlotte Fly-Andersen, CBS MBA Alumni Society Chairman of the Board, partying is also a part of networking and many an MBA took the chance to form new relationships, whether in the form of peers, future business partners or – perhaps one day - colleagues. “The CBS brand is highly recognised among employers and with 20 years of MBA education, we know we have a strong presence across and within the Danish business community,” concludes Poul Hedegaard, CBS MBA Director. “We are also very proud to be part of the exclusive one percent of global business schools to hold the triple-accreditation which underlines our international reputation and sets us up for market longevity.” Below are a few snapshots capturing the flavour of the day - thank you to all our alumni, faculty and staff for making the MBA Anniversary such a fantastic and memorable event!

__label__cc	0.530376	0.469624	Forecasting remains more art than science. Janet Kersnar Profit warnings are nothing unusual these days. But in November Axa’s had a surprising twist — the French insurer used the warning to also announce to investors that it was abandoning its longer-term strategy. Set four years ago, the targets for doubling revenue and tripling operating earnings by 2012 were looking, in the words of chairman Henri de Castries, “increasingly obsolete.” The news cost the French insurer dearly, with its share price tumbling nearly 20% on the day of the announcement. Axa isn’t the only company losing confidence in its forecasts. A recent survey by our sister magazine in the US found a surprisingly large number of CFOs stating that they were struggling to see more than two or three months ahead. And according to preliminary results from our quarterly Business Outlook Survey, their counterparts in Europe share their frustration, with their ability to forecast cited as one of the top concerns. It’s a topic that we explore further in “Future Tense.” As difficult as planning and forecasting has become, quitting the predictions game altogether is clearly not an option. Many CFOs are redoubling efforts with ever greater urgency to provide their companies — and investors — the best possible insight into future performance. While predicting with certainty how much inventory to hold or staff to hire may still feel like art rather than science, there is one thing that CFOs can be sure of — cash will be more important than ever in 2009. With that in mind, “Cashing In” presents a new ranking of corporate Europe’s most efficient cash managers. In this credit-starved economy, markets are rewarding companies that keep a tight grip on cash, which often means keeping a lid on dealmaking. As “Freeze!” details, the effort required to get deals off the ground in 2008 left many CFOs in the cold, as tasks that were once routine — from bond issues to buybacks to budgeting — became remarkably hard. CFOs can expect more of the same in the year ahead.

Some would say that rail shooters should be exclusive to arcades, while others would say that these types of games are too shallow to even exist. No matter the opinion, no one can honestly admit that they have never thrown a quarter or two into a Time Crisis, Area 51, or Operation Wolf arcade machine. The mindless gunplay, fast-paced action, and charmingly repetitive sound effects definitely bring back some memories, some good and some bad. Ghost Squad, an under the radar game in its own right, is right there in between the two. With a lot of light gun titles recently making their way to the next generation, the people over at Sega decided to throw another into the mix, and what better system to release it for but the Nintendo Wii. With the systems' recent release of its "Zapper," an add on that is supposed to make shooting games more realistic, Ghost Squad was to be the first test subject, but does it succeed? Now, this game's back story may have a few people crying "cliché," but hey, who plays a lightning fast light gun game for its plot? Basically, you control an elite group of SWAT members by the name of GHOST. Their mission is to quell the acts of a terrorist group called the Indigo Wolves, who are doing all kinds of terrible things. This opens the curtain for a classic good vs. evil showdown, with the primary objective being: take down every bad guy in sight. You'll do this while traversing through an enemy hideout, aboard an Air Force One plane, and finally through a jungle fortress. And no, the three I mentioned aren't just a handful of examples; those are all the levels in the game. Just like with Star Fox 64, the adventure is over in less than an hour, but the highlight that keeps pulling you back in is the open-endedness of the gameplay. Though you may not be able to control your character outside of reloading and shooting, the "choice" centered gameplay revolves around taking multiple paths that will decide the fate of the adventure. For example, in the first stage, you will have the option of either clearing the whole first floor or taking out a bomb that is a floor above you. The game will continue regardless of your selection, but it will certainly make each level seem less tedious as you replay them over and over. What also helps relieve a little bit of tedium is the fact that each of the three stages sports sixteen different degrees of difficulty. Depending on which you pick will cause opponents, obstacles, and events to happen in a different order than the previous selection. This will constantly keep you on your toes and even though the mission selection is short and limited, the multiple ways to play each of these missions keeps things continuously fresh. What also adds a fresh element to this light gun game is the introduction of the Wii-mote. Though it may not feel as precise or orthodox as a regular controller, the Wii-mote certainly makes the moment a lot more fun. The controls definitely make use of the Wii's point and release motion sensing, with gunplay and option selection relying on where you point the cursor. Even though shifting from side to side is quick and responsive, there are times where too much tilt can result in awkward viewing angles and an increase in inaccuracy. The on-screen cursor can also be disabled, increasing the difficulty even further, but some may find the lack of it too frustrating. All in all, it isn't up to arcade standards and it may take some time to get used to, but the Wii-mote does enough to warrant a solid playing session. Now whether the Zapper helps improve the experience or not is another story, as I wasn't able to get my hands on one in time. Once you get used to the stylized controls, the next step is to just jump into the fray. Enemies and obstacles emerge at every turn, and it will take quick reflexes and thinking to emerge victorious. Points are scored by how quickly you eliminate a threat and the manner in which you disperse it. As with any other light gun game, your movement is generally controlled for you. Quick moving camera angles and zoom shots happen frequently, with the reminder to "Reload" emerging every few seconds or so depending on the weapon you hold. Speaking of which, Sega definitely aimed to differentiate the Wii version from its arcade counterpart by adding new weapons and modes. From the submachine gun to the ever-potent sniper rifle, each gun serves its purpose, even though the gameplay moves so quickly you may not get to enjoy each of them as much as you'd like.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0097.json.gz/line1419910

When someone has high blood pressure, the heart and arteries have a much heavier workload. The heart must pump harder, and the arteries are under greater strain as they carry blood. urinary tract infections and disorders Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in kids. In older kids, UTIs may cause obvious symptoms such as burning or pain with urination (peeing). In infants and young children, UTIs may be harder to detect because symptoms are less specific. In fact, fever is sometimes the only sign. hematuria (blood in urine) Common causes of blood in the urine include urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney stones, irritation of the urethra, injuries, and vigorous exercise. There are many less common causes, and sometimes blood appears in the urine even though there is no underlying problem. Bedwetting usually goes away on its own. But bedwetting that begins suddenly or is accompanied by other symptoms can be a sign of another medical condition and may require a specialist. Kidney failure, which is also called renal failure, is when the kidneys slow down or stop properly filtering wastes from the body, which can cause buildups of waste products and toxic substances in the blood. Kidney failure can be acute (sudden) or chronic (happening over time and usually long lasting or permanent). renal tubular acidosis Normally, the kidneys remove excess acid from blood, but certain diseases, genetic defects, or drugs can damage a kidney's ability to do this important job. This can allow too much acid to build up in the blood and cause problems. When this happens, it's called renal tubular acidosis (RTA). Without treatment, RTA can affect a child's growth and cause kidney stones, fatigue, muscle weakness, and other symptoms.

Image: Jamie McColgan / Lightstock When Brandon Shields left his full-time position as a pastor in West Palm Beach to start a church several states away, he did what most church planters do: He allotted his family as little money as possible to get by while in the fundraising stage. As his home and salary shrank to what he believed to be appropriate size for a church planter, his children and expenses grew—and so did his anxiety over finances. Shields has plenty of company; surveys have shown the vast majority of clergy, around nine in ten Protestant pastors in the US, experience financial stress. Many churchgoers—and pastors themselves—assume these kinds of budget balancing acts come as part of the job. Just as churches must wrestle with the tension between generosity and being good stewards of the resources God has given, pastors too must work out how to provide adequately for their families while striving to live simply. But in the end, American Christians might be surprised to learn how many pastors struggle to make ends meet, and how much those financial pressures can weigh on their personal lives and ministry careers. With October being Pastor Appreciation Month, the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) launched its Bless Your Pastor campaign to raise awareness about the state of clergy finances and provide resources for thoughtful ways churches can support their leaders. “Over 70 percent of pastors know pastors that have left the ministry just from the stress of it, either the personal stress or the financial stress, and over one-third have said they themselves have considered leaving the ministry just because it’s too difficult on their family, especially with some of the financial challenges they face,” Brian Kluth, national director of NAE Financial Health and spokesperson for Bless Your Pastor, said in an interview with K-LOVE. An earlier NAE survey by found that half of pastors have salary/housing packages under $50,000. When it comes to benefits, most receive no family health insurance (59%) and no pension or retirement funds (62%). A 2016 study of clergy compensation similarly found that Protestant clergy income (including salary and housing allowances) amounts to just over $46,000 annually on average. Analysis by GuideStone, the financial planning firm for the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), indicates SBC pastor salaries are not keeping up with the rate of inflation, and the financial pull often leaves them without adequate funds to save for the future. “One thing we can say for certain is that most [SBC] pastors are generally underprepared for retirement,” said Roy Hayhurst of GuideStone. “Many factors contribute to a lack of retirement readiness in ministry including the growing challenge of student debt, the burden of personal debt, inertia and putting the focus on the here and now and not on their long-term needs.” Chet Lilly, chief operating officer at PCA Retirement and Benefits Inc., the retirement agency of the Presbyterian Church in America, has seen many pastors who spend their professional lives in low-paying ministries, only to discover after decades of serving the church that they cannot retire. Although Lilly and Hayhurst said their organizations strongly discourage pastors from opting out of Social Security Benefits, the NAE reports that one in five of pastors have done so. Opting out doubles the amount of money a pastor might have to save in order to retire. “They are underpaid for long periods of time, and they may get to a point where they are 60 or 70 and ill or tired, but they can’t retire,” Lilly said. “We are encouraging folks to work to age 70 and then, if they need to — and many do — then slow down to 20 or so hours a week.” With today’s financial demands, particularly growing student loan debt from college or seminary, ministry leaders fear fewer of today’s pastors will stick it out long-term after being overworked and underpaid. Shields, who now leads Soma Church in Indianapolis, wrote about the weight of financial burdens in ministry in the recently released Faithful Endurance: The Joy of Shepherding People For a Lifetime. “One year in [to planting the church], an advisor told me that I couldn’t keep living like that, and I had to take a raise. I realized I had swung too far the other way and did some study on what fair compensation looked like for our family,” he said. Not only did Shields take the pay raise, but he and his leadership studied a theology of compensation to develop a coherent vision for how the church would set salaries. He believes many pastors either feel too ashamed to broach the subject with their lay leaders or don’t know how to advocate for themselves, so they suffer in silence, move on to another church, or leave ministry altogether. Though “poverty theology”—Shields’ term for the notion that pastors and ministry leaders ought to be poor—has lost its hold in many churches, it persists in mission work and church planting in particular. Barna Group, in its 2017 State of Pastors report, found that pastors tend to see themselves as more financial sound (describing their situation as “secure” or “surplus”) than the average American, while church planters report being less well off (“surviving” or “struggling”). Though pastors of smaller churches with smaller budgets are more likely to fall on the “struggling” end financially, Barna also noted a correlation between financial uncertainty and discontent in ministry: “Pastors who express lower levels of satisfaction with their vocation or with their current position are more likely to see themselves as struggling…” Many historic and mainline denominations enroll clergy in retirement plans, expect churches to contribute toward retirement, and provide strong guidance on salary scales, but smaller denominations and nondenominational churches often lack such structures. Denominations often propose minimum salary requirements, and those that don’t usually offer non-binding call package guidelines and recommend sites like ChurchSalary.com. Search firms like Vanderbloemen also offer guides based on their research, as does LifeWay Research. The Bless Your Pastor campaign offers best practices and suggestions of practical ways churches can show generosity toward their pastors during Pastor Appreciation Month. In addition to encouraging churchgoers to give faithfully to help contribute toward their pastors’ salary year-round, the campaign suggests special financial gifts this month can help cover a marriage retreat, family vacation, ministry conference, or seminary courses. Or, the church can give toward other high-cost items like student debt, children’s college tuition, medical expenses, or retirement savings. “Few people get into ministry to experience financial abundance. We know the risks but when the risks become so large, it leads to suffering,” Shields said. “How can the church honor God and dignify and bless their pastor as he lays down his life for the congregation?” The Bless Your Pastor campaign is part of a larger initiative to address financial challenges faced by pastors and is funded by a $1 million, three-year grant from the Lilly Endowment Inc.

__label__wiki	0.5602	0.5602	Michael Guanjun Li and Eadie Hua Chen Pledge $500,000 for China Projects Office The gift from Michael Guanjun Li and Eadie Hua Chen supports new and ongoing education initiatives with China By CIIS Staff July 31, 2018 The University is tremendously excited to announce that two donors from China, Michael Guanjun Li, and Eadie Hua Chen, have pledged $500,000 over the next five years to support the work of the China Projects Office. Michael and Eadie's generous gift will allow for the continuation, enhancement, and expansion of the China Projects that have been taking place since 2015. The office's primary activities include: Two-week certificate programs in Integral Counseling, Gestalt Therapy, and Human Sexuality offered each summer at CIIS to students from China Scholarships for Chinese students enrolling in CIIS degree programs Travel to China by President Judie Wexler and Vice President of China Projects Lixin Huang to cultivate partnerships with Chinese organizations and universities Sponsorship of numerous academic exchanges that have allowed CIIS faculty to present lectures and workshops in China The Li-Chen pledge will support the growth of these initiatives, as well as others emerging in response to rapidly changing needs in China, by enabling increased staffing in the China Projects Office. The Psychology Connection Friends Michael and Eadie discovered CIIS through their interest in psychology. Michael is a businessman and investor who, while completing his PhD in psychology, encountered translations of ICP faculty member Brant Cortright's books. Eadie was initially a financial journalist for Reuters who received her MA from the Harvard Kennedy School. When she then decided to pursue a master's degree in psychology, she considered attending CIIS before ultimately choosing Columbia University. Eadie says that her and Michael's involvement with CIIS is born of their shared desire to be of service to the people of China. "This is a way I choose to express myself in making the world a better place. CIIS is a prime platform where Eastern and Western wisdoms converge and interact with each other. It stands a unique chance of promoting a deeper understanding between the East and the West and advancing the evolution of worldwide awareness. With the blessing of its founding tradition, edge-leading research, and passionate faculty, staff, and students, I believe CIIS will contribute even more to humanity's search for truth and wisdom." CIIS' World Role Michael puts it this way: "I feel very honored to have this opportunity to be engaged in CIIS' development in the new era. With half-a-century's evolution and accomplishments, CIIS has huge potential to serve our present and future world. I was also deeply impressed by the CIIS faculty and staff I have met. With my humble donation, I hope to support CIIS' efforts to expand its influence around the world, including in my homeland China, promoting and advancing the evolution of human consciousness and spirituality." Much gratitude and many congratulations to Lixin Huang, Luna Yue Ren, President Wexler, and CIIS trustee Meihong Xu for so gracefully cultivating this pledge, which promises to elevate not only the China Projects Office, but also the University as a whole.

__label__wiki	0.772903	0.772903	Brexit: DIT perm sec reveals how government got its trade plans ready Written by Richard Johnstone on 14 May 2019 in News Trade department perm sec tells CSW that work to fuse regional trade plans with UK economic sectors is nearing completion Photo: Louise Haywood-Schiefer The permanent secretary of the Department for International Trade has revealed details of how the ministry has worked to join up the UK’s trade and investment policy as it gears up for the UK’s exit from the European Union. Speaking to Civil Service World as the department nears completion of its landmark work to develop new trade strategies ahead of its third anniversary in July, Antonia Romeo said the department now had “a better grip on the system”. The department was formed by prime minister Theresa May in 2016 following the UK’s vote to leave the EU, in order to forge new trade arrangements when the UK leaves the bloc. Antonia Romeo on running the new Department for International Trade and cross-Whitehall working on Brexit DIT perm sec Antonia Romeo on getting the department ready to deliver under all Brexit scenarios in 2019 Department for International Trade names first chief trade negotiation adviser To do this, the department has developed a new international trade profession in the civil service to support and develop trade specialists, and well as bringing together the UK Trade and Investment and UK Export Finance teams with the development of trade policy. A number of senior appointments have been made, including HM trade commissioners who are responsible for trade and investment policy in nine global regions, as well as director generals for both investment (Mark Slaughter) and exports (John Mahon). Reflecting on the recruitment in the department, Romeo said the department was now in a position to unite its regional trade plans with export drives based on specific sectors of the economy for the first time. “We've got the regional trade plans, which each one of the HMTCs is responsible for that include essentially all trade investment and trade policy for that region,” Romeo highlighted. “Those are essentially plans for markets, and they dock in with sector plans, which we now have are across all the main sectors in which we operate. So we have a really good picture of which sectors, which markets, are focusing on exports, where you are focusing on investment [and], where are you focusing on deepening market access. “Those things all need to fit together [and] we'll have complete join up [in this financial year].” The HMTCs work with the department’s global strategy directorate that “essentially operates like a hub for all of the HMTCs” on shared issues, while the exports and investments DGs link their intelligence to the rest of the department to ensure the “sustainability and growth of exports and investments to the benefit of the UK economy”, Romeo said. “One of the things that I'm really determined that we do is take advantage of the fact there's only nine [trade commissioners] and they run our entire overseas network of 1,400 people on economic and trade work overseas. “That's got to work completely seamlessly with all the people here, and also in UK agents talking to exporters. So getting the system to work is really probably one of the most important things and bringing in Mark and John to run exports and investment respectively has meant that we've got people at board level responsible for owning that system. Everybody has somebody who is focusing on connecting the overseas network to the department.” The “massive advantages of doing this reorganisation” is being able to get information from the nine HMTCs on the ground, she added. “If you want to talk about global trade tensions between some of the world's biggest superpowers, you can get a small number of people in a room and they are experts in their markets. They all see it from different sides and you get a really good strategic understanding of the picture. That's the holy grail – getting information directly from the market on trade and investment and economic prosperity straight back to the people who work here, but also then from here [in DIT] into Whitehall.” Life after Brexit Romeo was speaking to CSW before the extension of the Article 50 Brexit process to the end of October was agreed. She acknowledged that in the department there’s “a huge amount of focus on Brexit and when Brexit happens”, and that businesses can "end up in a bit of a holding pattern" due to uncertainty. She added: “We are talking to businesses all the time but there’s not a lot we can do about reducing uncertainty where it exists as a fact. But what we can do is to ensure we are minimising as much as possible, and being clear about certainty where it does exist. And as we achieve certainty on specific things, obviously that will change our priorities in terms of markets and where are we going to be focusing for exports and investment. “So the whole department is affected, although we really see a lot of our job as being about the future and life beyond Brexit, as the secretary of state [Liam Fox] is keen on saying.” Economy, Business & Infrastructure International Affairs & Security Richard Johnstone is CSW's deputy and online editor and tweets as @CSW_DepEd Promote as primary content Not Promoted Further reading in our policy hubs Read more about Economy, Business & Infrastructure Read more about International Affairs & Security CONTRIBUTIONS FROM READERS Please login to post a comment or register for a free account.

__label__wiki	0.869621	0.869621	Creston Valley Thunder Cats Meet the Victoria environmentalist behind those controversial car-shaming handbills ‘I want to shock people, give them that burning feeling in their stomach,’ says advocate Travis Paterson The person who has been anonymously placing car-shaming handbills on vehicles in Oak Bay has come forward. David Schwab confirmed to the Oak Bay News that the handbills left area cars earlier this month reading “Yes this is a crisis, you are the problem,” are his work. He said he’s leaving them because others aren’t moving fast enough in the face of climate change, and came forward to share a message. “I do want to shock people, give them that burning feeling in their stomach, that when they pick it up and read it, they know they’re not doing the right thing and feel terribly embarrassed for it,” Schwab said. However, many might be surprised to know Schwab has specific criteria that he uses. Not every car is a target. Part of that is why his first visits were to Oak Bay. READ MORE: Victoria drivers wake up to handbills saying ‘Your vehicle burns a lot of fuel’ “People say I don’t know anything about the car owners but that’s not true. I know they can afford a [luxury] car.” Before placing a handbill Schwab asks himself if the car costs more than $10,000, he said. “I’m not targeting poor people. Rich people can adapt. If you have an old beater, it might be a bad emitter. But they might have a really hard time selling and replacing it, whereas people who can afford it [have no excuse].” The second question is: “Could this car be a Toyota Prius instead?” Most SUVs fall in the category that it could be a Prius, or if it’s a truck, Schwab asks if it could be a four-cylinder Ford Ranger instead, he said. Not everyone can afford a Prius or an electric vehicle but likely could afford a small car. On his first night out, the weekend of Nov. 9, the 25-year-old Victoria resident distributed 100 of the provocative handbills. One excerpt on the backside of the handbill reads “You might as well tell [your kids, nieces, nephews] to their face that you hate them, after all, you are helping to deprive them of food security, biodiversity, among other critical things.” It ends with “Do your best. Anything else isn’t good enough.” The response was massive. READ ALSO: Drivers are ‘ICE’-ing electric car charging spots in Greater Victoria While some bristle at the messaging of Schwab’s handbill, a November report by the International Energy Agency shows that the worldwide growth in SUV sales (the number of SUVs on the road grew from 35 million to 200 million) over the past decade has effectively negated the impact of electric vehicles to date. It’s due to the heavy size, and powerful engines that SUVs and excessive pickup trucks are built with. Regardless, many who saw Schwab’s handouts were offended and took to Facebook to vent. Others were less offended. Some disagreed with the form of message but agreed with the sense of urgency. Others still, decided to spew vitriol towards Schwab despite not being targeted. Of the many comments online are some from Oak Bay’s Dylan Kelk, who recently created a Facebook page called Oak Bay Climate Force. Kelk shared a sentiment with many climate action advocates that Schwab’s approach is too polarizing to foster the right discussion. “While I empathize with the fear and anger [he] must have felt, I don’t condone what [he] did,” Kelk said. “It’s unequivocally true that our community, and the world in general, still isn’t doing enough despite the progress we’ve made, and we absolutely must hold ourselves and others accountable for that. But if we’re going to do so without any empathy, respect, or knowledge of what a person might already be doing we risk alienating potential allies.” So far, Schwab is on his third reprint of the handbills. His second print had a typo and he softened the wording on the first handbill. “It said, ‘I suggest you go home and tell your kids you hate them’,” but that was too harsh, he said. Instead, it effectively reads, “You might as well go home and tell your kids you hate them.” He does expect an additional backlash and that it will get personal when people see his name. “The initial reaction was pretty much what I expected.” Born to a pair of West Coast parents, Schwab was raised on the East Coast. They are scientists, and the scientific evidence of global warming was drilled into him as a kid. It’s in his DNA. He moved here at 18 with hopes of finding a Utopian Left Coast where people scoffed at commuting to hockey and soccer practice in a Ford 150. “I thought the West Coast would be better. I came here thinking people would have the right attitude, that everyone here was going to pull together. When I got here, I realized there is a mix of people just like anywhere, but that there are people trying their hardest to combat climate change.” It took Schwab a couple of years to get into a situation where he could bike everyday, including work. He avoids plastic like the plague, and has now made it normal to live a life with a lower footprint than most. It wasn’t enough, he realized. “I’m trying, but it’s only a drop in the ocean compared to what’s needed out there, so I decided to get my message out, ” Schwab said. “Each one of us has a role to play. Personal responsibility is a huge thing. We all need to take it up and all need to try our hardest. “When I see people not doing that it gets me emotional. “Kids in school are learning about climate change and when they get picked up, it’s with their parent in a Land Rover. That’s a slap in the face, isn’t it?,” Schwab said. reporter@oakbaynews.com Blossom Valley Singers to perform Middle Ages to Modern Stages: A Christmas Journey at PCSS Human rights complaint filed against Vancouver School Board for handling of racist video Town of Creston purchases land for new fire hall Referendum in October 2018 approved borrowing maximum $4.5M for Creston emergency services building Creston high school photography students hosting show and silent auction Nearly two dozen Prince Charles Secondary School students will have work in Jan. 24 show Residents offer Town of Creston input on future of reservoir land Former open water reservoirs north of Creston’s 23rd and 24th avenues currently closed to the public Explore Creston Valley Advance Cranbrook Townsman Fernie Free Press Kimberley Bulletin Creston News Creston Weather Creston Classifieds © 2020, Creston Valley Advance and Black Press Group Ltd.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0097.json.gz/line1419949

The peer to peer lender also shared interesting statistics regarding platform performance, including: The number of investors has increased 57% to 10,361 in 12 months £12.5 million of property has changed hands on platform’s resale or secondary market Property Partner has seen £1.24 million in dividends returned to investors since launch, with an average rental yield of 3.5% (net of all costs) 375 properties have been funded in total Property Partner said the solid results came during a period of economic uncertainty as Brexit repercussions continued to impact the real estate market and the broader UK economy. The Property Partner platform allows investors to buy shares in a range of properties and benefit from rental income and any capital appreciation on a diversified portfolio. The purchase, tenancy, and management are handled by Property Partner’s in-house team, thus removing much of the hassle out of property investment. Property Partner says investors benefit from increased liquidity through its resale exchange and also have the option to exit their holding at market value after five years, at fair market value. Investor’s holdings are “ring-fenced” in Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) and money held on account is protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), according to Property Partner. Property Partner’s ultimate goal is to bring to the residential property market the same level of liquidity present in equity markets. Dan Gandesha, CEO and founder of Property Partner, called the milestone a significant achievement that underlined the enormous potential of the market they are targeting; “Not many investors want to give up the amount of time required to invest in residential property and that’s why I think the way we make it easy and accessible is gaining a lot of attention,” said Gandesha. “Traditional landlords spend months identifying, buying, upgrading and letting properties. We can get our investors to the same point in minutes with no stress or hassle. Even in a period of relative political and economic uncertainty, growth in the numbers of investors using Property Partner has been strong, as has the level of investment.” Property Partner reports it is constantly investing in its technology to improve the investor experience. The latest feature was the introduction of its Bid Engine, which allows investors to place bid orders for property shares in its resale marketplace at prices they are willing to pay. When the market moves in the same direction orders are filled automatically and the investor notified. The secondary market appears to be providing robust liquidity for investors as well.

__label__wiki	0.817446	0.817446	Tobacco plain packaging awaits Australian retailers By Gaelle Walker2011-04-11T00:00:00+01:00 Australian retailers are facing a double whammy of tobacco legislation after the government launched proposals to make plain packaging of all tobacco products mandatory by July 2012. Legislation to ban tobacco displays in stores has already been passed in the states of New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia and Tasmania, with implementation due in phases between 2010 and 2013. However, earlier this week federal health minister Nicola Roxon released a public exposure draft of legislation which would see cigarette packs cloaked in a dark shade of olive green – found to be the most unattractive colour for young people. Health warnings would also be given greater prominence, covering 90% of the back of packs, and 75% of the front, while brand would be reduced to a uniform size and font to make them as bland and anonymous as possible. The changes would send a clear message to youths and smokers that smoking was no longer glamorous, Roxon said. “Cigarette packs will now only show the death and disease that can come from smoking,” she added. Australian Retailers Association (ARA) executive director Russell Zimmerman said under current and scheduled state tobacco display laws, the proposed plain packaging was “unnecessary” and “only duplicated the regulatory burden and associated costs for retailers.” “Retailers have invested in new store fit outs to ensure they are compliant with state tobacco display bans but they are now left wondering what exactly they are hiding behind cupboard doors if federal legislation will dictate standard packaging,” he said. Tobacco companies have vowed to fight the plans which they claim would infringe international trademark and intellectual property laws. Plain packaging upheld by Australian High Court Australia’s High Court has upheld new government legislation on cigarette plain packaging after rejecting a legal challenge from tobacco companies. Consumers opposed to plain packaging Adult consumers are largely against the introduction of plain standardised tobacco packaging, the European Commission's public consultation on the upcoming revision of the Tobacco Products Directive has revealed.

However the role these charities play in making the world a better a place would not happen so smoothly or efficiently without the superfast broadband, social media and the use of high tech gadgetry. "Technology is at the heart of Cool Earth’s operations," a spokeswoman for the Penryn-based NGO said. "From fundraising to monitoring and reporting our impact, digital innovation drives our effectiveness." Cool Earth charity is based in Cornwall and uses new digital technologies to help save the rain forest (Image: Cool Earth) Cool Earth is a non-profit organisation which was founded by Johan Eliasch, Frank Field.

The charity's aim is to save the rain forest not by putting up fences in the jungle or buying tracks of equatorial land but by helping put local people in charge of the forest as they are the ones on the front line of deforestation. The Edge Awards 2018 The spokeswoman added: "Local people stand to lose the most from deforestation but the most to gain from its protection. As such, they are the forest’s best possible custodians. "That’s why all Cool Earth partnerships are community-owned and led – an approach that research is continually proving to be the most effective way to keep rain forest standing. Cool Earth's work is not just about saving the rain forest it is about saving people and all of us (Image: Cool Earth) "By developing local livelihoods, our mission is to end the cycle of deforestation entrenching villages into further poverty. Creating strong, self-determining communities – not dependency. "We are also the only charity that works solely where the threat to the forest is greatest, on the frontline of deforestation. And each of our partnerships forms a shield to make the neighbouring forest inaccessible to loggers – saving millions of acres of further forest." Meet the scientists 3D-printing human skin in Cornwall The charity's work comes as half of the world’s rain forest has been destroyed in the last 40 years and continues to be lost at a faster rate than ever. The organisation uses several sources of satellite imagery to monitor canopy loss in rain forest partnerships as well as drone technology for fly throughs. It can help us assess our impact over time, but also allow us to investigate any apparent canopy loss in real time, and report back to the community. Drone and satellite technology is used by Cornwall NGO Cool Earth all the time (Image: Cool Earth) The spokeswoman said: "By adding this kind of insight to our other monitoring methods such as household survey data, images from camera traps, and other tools, we can begin to get a really detailed picture of Cool Earth’s impact. And as technology improves alongside our own skills and knowledge improves, that picture will become even richer." Cool Earth is a digital-first charity and fundraises solely through its website. Brexit blamed as Cornwall firm Headforwards eyes expanding to Europe not UK That means that it may be small compared with others such as Greenpeace but the digital sphere allows it to punch above its weight when developing online giving tools, campaigns, and systems. It also uses crypto currencies to ensure donations from people around the world are safe. Cool Earth is currently looking to expand its team of software developers and web designers. Cryptocurrencies are used by environmental charity Cool Earth as well as other technologies to save the world's rain forests (Image: Getty Images) The spokeswoman added: "We are currently looking at ways that technology could help make Cool Earth even more effective in the future. "We currently allow donations in cryptocurrencies but we’re looking at ways that blockchain technology could help us make smart contracts with rainforest communities, and how we could use distributed ledgers to get funds from donors directly into the hands of people on the ground."

__label__cc	0.588117	0.411883	Cheese making, Suffolk Learn the art of making cheese in a day, from milking a cow to shaping the perfect round Arm-deep in honey-coloured curds and whey, I realise that cheese making really is an art. Swirling the buttery liquid by hand is almost hypnotic, but requires a patient and experienced cheese maker to know when to stop. Suffolk-based Food Safari specialises in providing hands-on learning experiences for food lovers, to promote the importance of how food reaches our plate, and the Cheese in a Day course is the newest addition. Held at Whitegate Farm, a small dairy farm near Stowmarket, the course provides an insight into the daily workings of a dairy farm and the detailed methods of producing cheese. Katharine Salisbury, the cheese maker behind Suffolk Farmhouse Cheeses, expertly explains the delicate and lengthy process involved in creating a cheese, from milking right through to the finished product. The family-run business uses milk from their own pedigree herd of Guernsey cattle to make the award-winning semi-hard Suffolk Gold and the lightly blue-veined Suffolk Blue. As we went into the dairy, Katharine explained the necessity for high hygiene standards to avoid contamination, and she ensured that we were all appropriately covered. Wrapped up in a hair net, plastic shoe covers, thick white overalls and an apron, I looked ready for surgery. And, as I found out, cheese making can be just as technical. Shaping the curd The plan was to make a simple soft-curd cheese, with a texture and taste like mozzarella. Trying not to over-crush the fragile mixture of fresh milk and rennin (an enzyme that transforms the liquid milk into soft curd), we gently handled the creamy curds to separate the unwanted whey. Although a waste product of the cheese-making process, the farm’s pigs happily slurp the nutritious whey, which makes up the bulk of their diet and helps to reduce the farm’s waste, too. After the mixture was separated and rested, the whey was carefully drained and the curds slopped into moulds. We then left our handiwork to settle and shape, a process that was to take around three hours, and wandered towards the refrigerated containers, where the harder cheeses develop. The solid rounds are neatly stacked for about 10 weeks to achieve the all-important thick mould rind. The wonderful smells were quickly matched by the impressive feast prepared by Food Safari. The spread included a quiche made with Suffolk Gold and bacon from the farm, a lentil salad with Suffolk Blue, a Suffolk Gold frittata and plenty of wine. The recipes were all included in the information pack, too. Before returning to the dairy, herdsman Jason Salisbury offered a tour of his farm and a chance to meet the prize-winning herd. “Business started in 2004 when I got made redundant from milking cows,” he said. “I decided to go out and buy a cow with my £400 redundancy money, and we started making cheese.” As the business grew, so did the herd, and now the couple supplies local restaurants and delis. After replacing our hygienic covering, we returned to the dairy to finish the cheese. The curds were now almost solid, and had to be turned out of the moulds to be carefully rubbed in salt and rolled in herbs to make the finish product. Once the cheeses were wrapped up to take home, the cows were ready to be milked. Milking time The Guernseys patiently lined up outside the milking parlour, and as the first set wandered through, the day became even more hands-on. The udders were dipped in a sanitising iodine foam before the rumbling pumps were attached. The herd was unfazed by my haphazard fumbling of udders and machinery, and produced streams of golden milk, which tumbled through the pumps towards the dairy. Jason explained that the pumps were designed in straight lines to avoid the milk getting knocked around, which breaks up the proteins and fats. Food Safari’s Cheese in a Day provides valuable insight to the passion and care that hand-making cheese is all about. Understanding where food comes from, how it is sourced and why to use local produce are valuable lessons that Suffolk Farmhouse Cheeses, and other small producers depend on the rest of us knowing.

Drinkers as young as 14 have been barred from village hall events in Broughton, Lincolnshire, because the tests revealed alcohol in their systems. The booze-free discos are organised by residents to keep young people off the streets and out of trouble. Breath tests: PC Vince Potter said some of the children attending the disco were well over the drink-drive limit The discos in Broughton, Lincs, are organised by residents to keep young people off the streets and out of trouble The breath tests caught five drinkers at an alcohol-free disco earlier this month attended by 34 teenagers. Only those suspected of being under the influence were breath-tested by police. And organisers have vowed to continue their zero tolerance approach. PC Vince Potter of Humberside Police, who is also Chairman of the disco fund committee, said: 'The whole idea of the disco was that it was an alcohol and substance-free event and anyone found under the influence would be refused entry. 'The five youths were happy to take a breath-test because I don't think they appreciated what the results of that would be.' PC Potter said the fact that the youngsters were all well over the legal drink-drive limit showed the extent of the alcohol problem. He said:'They should be blowing a clear zero. Wherever you go, there is underage drinking to some extent and what we are trying to do is divert the youths away from underage drinking and put them into a meaningful activity, where they can socialise in a substance-free environment.' One resident described the police action as 'a bit extreme,' but most parents have supported the breath-testing. A mother-of-two said:'I have seen young people sat in the churchyard drinking. There is more anti-social behaviour now than there used to be.' Two discos have been held so far with the next one planned for August. On the night of the second disco, police took only one call relating to anti-social behaviour in Broughton. Local Mayor Arthur Bunyan, said he was in favour of breath-testing and banning drinkers from the discos. 'I think the police have to be vigilant and if they suspect someone, then I can't see anything wrong with it. 'If you are going to have a disco, you certainly don't want people in there who are the worse for drink. They disrupt things and that is what we are trying to avoid.'	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0097.json.gz/line1419970

__label__cc	0.61766	0.38234	Call for enhancing graphic health warning The Newspaper's Staff ReporterOctober 05, 2019 ISLAMABAD: Speakers at an event were of the view that enhanced graphic health warning (GHW) on tobacco packs can only keep the youth from hazards of tobacco and a number of diseases including cancer. In the event, organised at a local hotel, results of a survey on assessing the current status of GHW on tobacco packs were shared. The survey was collaboratively carried out by Human Development Foundation (HDF) and Sparc in five main cities — Islamabad, Lahore, Multan, Karachi and Peshawar. In the survey, it was found that the tobacco companies have not been following the legal standards required under Pakistan’s tobacco control laws. Mr Azhar Saleem, CEO HDF, shared the background of graphic health warning on cigarette packs. He said over the decades, numerous research studies have been conducted which endorsed the importance and role of graphic health warnings in reducing rate of smoking among users. “Graphic health warnings are a cost effective and wide reaching method of reducing tobacco consumption and creating mass awareness about the health hazards of tobacco use,” he said. Representative of Tobacco Control Cell of the Ministry of National Health Services Mr Ziauddin Islam shared the legal status of laws pertaining to graphic health warning on cigarette packs. He said the tobacco companies had been instructed to implement the new standard of 60pc size of GHW on cigarette packs from June 1this year. He said the grace period expired on Aug 31 but tobacco companies had not adopted the new standards. Mr Malik Imran, from Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids, stated that along with the violation of GHW standards, tobacco companies have been indirectly promoting and advertising their products at shops. He said there was no proper policing for ensuring the effective implementation of tobacco control laws which clearly prohibits tobacco companies from advertising, promoting and sponsoring activities.

__label__cc	0.747	0.253	Microchip Design PLC Programming Test & Measurement Automation Inventory and Warehouse Control Oil and Gas Engineering Packaging Machinery Programming Pharmaceutical and Medical Specialty Machinery Database-Driven Web and Desktop Applications for Custom Label Management System Posted in Application Development, Chemical, Digital Workplace Solutions, PC Application Development, Pharmaceutical and Medical, Printing, Web Application Development DMC designed, developed, and implemented a label management system for a medical diagnostics company. Labeling is a critical element in the manufacturing of products in the healthcare industry, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires strict compliance with several labeling standards. This demands that labels go through a thorough quality control process and all changes and modifications to the labels are tracked and documented. The label management system developed by DMC provides a simple way to manage and track labels and initiate batch printing. Desktop Application - Summary Screen Desktop Application - Print Job Setup Screen Web Application - Products Page Web Application - Approval Form Page DMC developed a label management system comprised of three components: The database serves as a central repository for all label configuration data. It is a Microsoft SQL database stored in an on-premise server to ensure continuous stable connectivity from the desktop application and web application. The database schema was designed to support change tracking, so the edit history of any given label can be retrieved and viewed. In additional to label data, the database stores records of all batch printing jobs initiated by the desktop application. The desktop application allows operators to manage and initiate batch label print jobs. Users log in to the application with the same Active Directory credentials they use to log in elsewhere in the company network; once the credentials are verified, the application checks the database to determine if the user has access to the application. Use of the application centers around the management of new print jobs. Users can switch between existing print jobs and add new ones by using the tabbed interface along the left side of the screen. Users may also view a summary screen showing detailed information on all active print jobs. Creating a print job follows a simple and straightforward process. Users first enter a material number located on the bill of work for the print job they will be initiating. The application retrieves all label artworks associated with that material number and places them into a dropdown for the user to select from. Once an artwork is selected, read-only information pulled from the database is displayed on the right side of the screen so the user may verify they have selected the correct label artwork to print. Additionally, a list of variable data parameters that need to be filled in for the selected artwork appear. The user must provide data for all of these parameters. Indicators next to each field let the user know what sort of data needs to be supplied for each parameter (e.g. the Expiration Date parameter requires a future date) and whether or not the entered data is valid. Once all data has been entered correctly, the user may generate a print preview to verify the label is formatted correctly. The final step is to select a printer. This brings up status information about the selected printer (such as whether it is idle, currently printing, in an error state, etc.) and allows the user to bring up the print preferences dialog to configure any printer settings. The user is also allowed to print sample labels as a final check to make sure everything is correct. Once the user is ready, they fill in the number of labels to print and initiate the job. All fields and dropdowns are locked until the print job completes or is manually stopped. The web application serves as a front-end to the database, allowing for the creation, modification, and management of labels. This includes managing the label stock that labels are printed on, the artwork defining what the labels look like, and the products that the labels are for. The web application automatically grabs a user’s Active Directory credentials to log them in. The actions a user can take as well as the portions of the web application they can see are tied to their permissions. By default, users can only view label data. Users with administrative privileges can grant additional permissions to any user, expanding their list of capabilities to modifying label data, approving label changes, and uses the desktop application to print labels. When a record is changed, it moves from an “Approved” state to a “Pending” state. No more changes to that record can occur until a user with approval permissions either approves or rejects the changes. Until that happens, the desktop application uses the latest approved data for any print jobs that are initiated. To facilitate the approval process, users can view a side-by-side comparison of what changed in a “Delta V Report”. Since some users may wish to request a change without having the permission to do so, a “Change Request Form” can be accessed for any given record. This lists out all the data tied to a record with a second column where the user may type in their desired changes. They can then save or print a printer-friendly version of the form. To make creating brand new records easier, a “Copy From” feature allows users to begin creating a new record with another record’s data as a template. Viewing the potentially large quantities of records is simple with the ability to quickly sort and filter grids on any column. Simplification: Batch printing, which previously required the use of several applications and multiple configuration steps, is simplified into a single application. Initiating print jobs now only requires an operator to input a job number, with all other label information auto-populating from a database. Flexibility: The system was designed to be able to work with various label file types and printers. To best fit the client’s existing products and files, initial support was developed for PDF and BarTender labels and for Zebra Label printers, with the ability to easily expand support in the future. Permissions-based control: The various functions and capabilities of the label management system are tied to specific, assignable permissions to ensure the system is tailored to each user. Standardization: The prior label printing process varied between product lines. The new system standardizes the process across all product lines, which allows for simpler roll-out of future changes and easier cross-training between product lines. Change tracking: Every action that involves creating, obsoleting, or modifying labels is automatically change tracked. Changes also require approval before they are used in new print jobs.

Galmus Poriven September 14, 2013 at 2:43 AM Identity. You've got a couple of receivers with near-breakaway speed. Utilize motion to make up for any lack of dominance in that department. #4 is a strong uphill runner. The benefit of a pro form blocker may lead the way for the big gains you are lacking at the moment. You can shift into that package from a dual-back Shotgun (and can add a HB wheel-route to compliment the flats). #11 seems to be over-extending on some of his passes. Utilize hook routes and short out-routes to get him into rhythm. 4-2-5 should work well enough with this unit.

All our work uses open, non-proprietary data standards and file formats where ever possible, in order to help improve the sustainability of our work over the longer term and ensure that everything we produce will be unaffected by technological change. We also favour making our data available for re-use by third parties via Web APIs and data download links. Our system architecture is typically PHP or Java based, running on Apache (Apache Tomcat in the case of Java) and pulling data from XML files, MySQL databases and Lucene indexes, as appropriate. Our website front-ends are built using PHP (Symfony framework), Java, Bootstrap, XHTML and CSS, incorporating Ajax-style features where appropriate. For graphical modelling, data visualisation and mapping we use JS libraries such as 3D.js, node.js, and leaflet.js. For 3D modelling (e.g. http://www.markmybird.org) we use WebGL. Our mobile applications are developed as mobile web applications where appropriate (typically when the app is required to simply pull down and display data) because of the sustainability and platform agnosticism of this approach, whilst more sophisticated apps are developed in C or Java and then compiled for specific mobile operating systems. Our research resources are often created by providing project teams with access to a Content Management System (CMS), specifically designed around the needs of their project, so that data can be created and managed centrally, irrespective of the researcher’s location, and previewed live using the evolving end-user interface. The CMS also enables researchers to continue creating and managing their data long after the funded period of their project has ceased. We currently build these using PHP Sonata Admin. Our servers are dedicated virtual machines (VMs) running Ubuntu, hosted and maintained by the University’s computing services. Our server family consists of development servers for internal development and testing of online resources, production servers for hosting publicly accessible resources over the longer term, and database servers for hosting the databases that underpin the resources on the production servers. We currently run two development servers, six production servers, and two database servers. All data assets, such as primary source datasets are stored on our dedicated storage area network (SAN) which functions as a data repository (for long term management of data) and a data server (serving data to the database and production servers). All our servers are housed in dedicated data centres. We use a dedicated source code repository in Github which enables the development team to store, track, version control and deploy code changes. We use penetration testing software such as sqlmap (http://sqlmap.org) and OWASP ZAP (https://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_Zed_Attack_Proxy_Project) to test our code for vulnerabilities, and follow OWASP security recommendations and best practice. We have our own Service Management System for managing information about the profile, status, and hosting of development projects.

__label__cc	0.625405	0.374595	Microsoft Finally Realized to Keep the Text Typed in Incognito Tabs as Private browser, Chrome, Internet, Microsoft, news, privacy, web-browsers The misconception that the Google Chrome Incognito does not record or track activities is fading away. Microsoft said that anything typed in Incognito (private) mode of browser are used to improve the user experience regarding auto-complete and auto-correct suggestions. To raise the security level, the company will now start treating text typed in incognito mode as private, without letting anyone analyze it. This change is already worked on for Chromium source code and will be tested there before implementing it on Google Chrome. Microsoft discontinued its EdgeHTML rendering engine a year ago and for Microsoft Edge browser, the company is now elevating Chromium-based version. Chromium source code possible change was spotted in the message board of Chromium developers. One of the Microsoft employees made the change, according to the latest comment in the thread. The fellows of the open-source Chromium organizations will be reviewing it. Also read: Google Chrome is Working on Security Measures to Prevent Cookie Abuse Windows and Chromium can identify whenever a text is typed for private tabs, but a link between them needs to be developed. For pattern learning, a tag “shouldDoLearning” is used by the Chromium. Whereas, 'IS_PRIVATE' attribute is used by the Windows 10 to differentiate text. The older versions of the Windows will not be able to keep up with the private preference as they do not have any such attribute included in their browsers. With this change, text caches, browsing history, cookies, and other unwanted records will all be removed after the session in the private browsing or incognito mode ends. The preview of Chromium-based version of Edge browser has been introduced by the Microsoft, allowing beta program members and Windows Insider developers to check it out. Microsoft is planning to introduce Chrome extensions and some of the other popular features into its own browser by integrating its personal online services.

__label__wiki	0.96146	0.96146	'Costing Us a Fortune' Schools are moving away from desktop printers. To lower costs, save paper, and use less energy, schools are moving away from desktop printers in favor of networked high-volume multifunction copiers that allow teachers and students to print, scan, and copy documents. “The operating costs are much lower” for multifunction copiers, says Marlon Miller, the education-segment manager for the Norwalk, Conn.-based Xerox. They also print and copy documents faster and provide the ability to print on both sides of the paper, he says. “We certainly understand the budget pressures in schools,” says Miller, who recommends streamlining most printer and copier jobs to multifunction machines. In the 550-student Minocqua-Hazelhurst-Lake Tomahawk Elementary School District in Minocqua, Wis., individual desktop printers are no longer an option. Copier/Printer Providers Brother International Corp. Canon U.S.A. Inc. IKON Office Solutions Inc. Ricoh Americas Corp. Toshiba American Inc. Xerox Corp. The district started by eliminating all inkjet printers, says Jay Christgau, the director of technology for the district. “They were costing us a fortune, so we started replacing those,” he says. And at the beginning of this school year, the district eliminated all laser printers, as well. “Those individual printers are awful for energy use, even in sleep mode,” says Christgau. “That, coupled with a lot of unnecessary printing,” spurred the district’s decision. Now, all teachers and students will print to one of five multifunction copiers, Christgau explains. He hopes that the inconvenience of having to retrieve the documents will make students and teachers think more carefully about their decision to print. “Nobody likes to be inconvenienced, and nobody likes something taken away, but we have a commitment to trying to go green as much as is realistic,” he says. And so far, results have been largely positive. “We’ve gotten some good feedback in the community, and that has helped,” he says. In his district, school officials are leasing to own their multifunction copiers. Over a period of five years, the cost per page for each copy works out to be about 1.7 cents for black and white and 7.5 cents for color copies, he says.That price includes the cost of the equipment and materials, the maintenance of the equipment, and the payments toward owning the copiers. Typically, each black-and-white copy is less than one cent, says Christgau, without any other factors included. In comparison, an individual printer usually runs about 2 to 3 cents per page for black and whiteand 15 cents per page for color pages, says Miller, from Xerox, not including any other expenses. A Good First Step But that solution may not work for some districts, says Mike Dane, the vice president of product and services marketing for the Malvern, Pa.-based IKON Office Solutions. “The opportunity is there to consolidate volume” by moving from individual printers to a multifunction copier, he says. “But you can’t just take the printers off everybody’s desks and add them to a multifunction printer.” A good first step is to take stock of how many printers and copiers are in use and how many documents each printer or copier produces, says Dane. Then school administrators can evaluate what a realistic solution may look like for that particular school and strike a balance between cost and convenience, he says. Jay Smith, the director of managed services for New York City-based Toshiba, says that new advancements in multifunction copiers have made them more secure and private than previous versions. “The technology on the multifunction [machine] allows teachers to ... print from their classroom, and the print job stays on the server until they release it,” by swiping an identification badge or typing a password, he says. That technology ensures that if sensitive documents are being printed, they will not be left on the print tray, waiting to be picked up. Instead, the documents will only print after the teacher has verified that he or she is the one using the copier. “It’s really a balance between privacy and availability,” says Smith. Monitoring Copier Use But the first step in reducing printing and copying costs is to put a strategy in place to monitor copier usage and performance, says Rod Davis, the founder and president of the Boise, Idaho-based Optimizon, a vendor-neutral consulting firm that works with school districts to negotiate copier and printer costs. “You need to establish criteria so that the vendor and the vendor’s equipment and delivery of service can be measured objectively,” he says. Once the performance criteria have been set, costs will inevitably come down, says Davis. School officials also need to systematically gather information about what printing and copying devices are on their network, how often they are used, when they require maintenance, and whether they are meeting the district’s expectations, says Ethan Davis, Optimizon’s vice president of marketing. “Most districts don’t have the data they need when they go into the decisionmaking process surrounding copiers and printers,” he says. “Without the exact information, it’s tough to make good decisions at a district level.” Vol. 03, Issue 01, Pages 38-39 Published in Print: October 21, 2009, as 'Costing Us a Fortune'	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0097.json.gz/line1420000

Just like that, a man who'd toiled in obscurity through decades in public life had done the impossible: defeated Hillary Clinton in a state that, until that night, had always had her family's back. Eighty minutes later, after watching Clinton concede on a television screen suspended from the rafters, the crowd erupted as Sanders appeared onstage. "Together," he said, "we have sent the message that will echo from Wall Street to Washington, from Maine to California — and that is that the government of our great country belongs to all of the people and not just a handful of wealthy campaign contributors and their super PACs." With the nation watching, some for the first time, Sanders delivered a nearly half-hour speech that has grown familiar to Vermonters over the years — a speech that even Clinton had begun to mimic in her remarks earlier that evening. "Tonight, we served notice to the political and economic establishment of this country that the American people will not continue to accept a corrupt campaign finance system that is undermining American democracy and will not accept a rigged economy," he said. Sanders credited his victory to, as he put it in his native Brooklyn-ese, a "yuuuge voter turnout." His supporters, imitating the candidate they hope will be president, interrupted him and yelled "yuuuge" right back at him. The Vermonter's margin of victory also appeared pretty yuuuge. Sanders swamped Clinton by 21 percentage points. Even the Clinton campaign couldn't spin numbers like that into a positive, though it had spent the week lowering expectations and playing up Sanders' advantages in a state that neighbors his own. Sanders' success was about more than demography or geography. It was about more than his 108 paid staffers in the state, his 18 field offices and his 7,200 volunteers. It was about more, even, than his 3-1 television-advertising advantage in the weeks leading up to the primary. It was about the message Sanders delivered and the messenger who delivered it. Sanders landed at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport a week ago Tuesday with the political winds at his back. His "virtual tie" at the Iowa caucuses had electrified his campaign, filled its coffers with another $3 million and rattled Team Clinton. The two candidates quickly engaged in what would turn into a days-long war of words over who was the real progressive in the race. "A progressive is someone who makes progress," Clinton argued Thursday night during an MSNBC debate at the University of New Hampshire. "That's what I intend to do." It was the first time she and Sanders shared a debate stage since former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley dropped out days earlier — and the difference in tone and tenor was palpable. Clinton lit into her rival for making promises she said he could not keep, while Sanders continued to attack her ties to the financial sector. Both candidates had their moments, and both left with wounds. Clinton failed to put to rest questions about the more than $1.8 million in speaking fees she has received from Wall Street banks, while Sanders continued to look stumped by the most basic foreign policy questions. Out on the campaign trail, the senator tested new lines of attack. Speaking at the Rochester Opera House on Thursday, he alluded to his opponent's shifting policy positions, saying that it was "easier to apologize for a bad vote fifteen or twenty years later, when the tide has changed" than it was to "stand up, even though you are outnumbered, and cast the right vote." Friday night at the New Hampshire Democratic Party's annual McIntyre-Shaheen 100 Club Celebration, Clinton tried to reach out to the young voters who had largely abandoned her for the Sanders campaign. Speaking to thousands of party activists at Manchester's Verizon Wireless Arena, she recounted her days campaigning for Eugene McCarthy in 1968. "I learned what you all are proving every day: You can make change without being elected to anything," she said. "So I respect not only your enthusiasm but also your seriousness about helping to make our country what it can and should be." But Clinton's words seemed to fall on deaf — or, perhaps, absent — ears: Sanders had addressed the crowd an hour earlier and most of his supporters had immediately left the building. Over the weekend, the two rivals went their separate ways: Sanders to New York City to appear with comedian Larry David on Saturday Night Live and Clinton to meet with the mayor of Flint, Michigan, to discuss the city's contaminated-water crisis. But the campaign didn't stop just because the candidates left the state. Clinton's top allies made waves when two of them — former secretary of state Madeleine Albright and feminist icon Gloria Steinem — appeared to disparage women who had chosen Sanders over Clinton. Former president Bill Clinton went even further, launching a harsh attack on Sanders Sunday afternoon in Milford — accusing the candidate of hypocrisy and his supporters of sexism. Sanders responded the way a front-runner might: by ignoring it. During his final day of campaigning Monday, he barely mentioned the former secretary of state. Whisked around the state in an eleven-vehicle Secret Service motorcade, the senator kept his focus on his core message, from Nashua to Durham. "Tomorrow is a very big day," he told several hundred students Monday night at a get-out-the-vote concert at UNH. "I hope that at the end of the night, New Hampshire will have told America that we are no longer accepting establishment politics or establishment economics — that we want this country to move forward in a different direction." With New Hampshire in the rearview mirror, Sanders now turns to a pair of states — Nevada and then South Carolina — where Clinton appears to have certain advantages in terms of organizational strength, name recognition and cachet with nonwhite voters. "She got here earlier," said Jon Ralston, a longtime reporter and political analyst in Nevada. "She hired all the right people from Obama and Clinton '08. They have the infrastructure set up. They've been here almost a year now." But Jeff Weaver, Sanders' campaign manager, says the Vermonter is ready to compete in the Silver State. "In Nevada, we've got over four dozen staffers on the ground," he says. "We've got more field offices than any other campaign." Like Iowa, Nevada employs a caucus system to allocate delegates. But unlike Iowa, it has only served as an early-nominating state since 2008. "So we need to make people who support Bernie know that there is a caucus going on and where it is and what time it is and how you participate and what have you," Weaver said. Nevada, which holds its Democratic caucuses a week from Saturday, is the first state in the process with significant populations of Hispanic and African-American voters. That's led some to conclude that Sanders won't find traction there, since he tends to draw more support from white liberals. But despite the state's diverse population, whites accounted for nearly two-thirds of Nevada's electorate in the 2008 caucuses. A bigger challenge could be reaching voters who live outside the state's population center of Las Vegas. In 2008, Clinton won Nevada's popular vote by turning out Clark County voters in droves, but Obama's strategic focus on delegate-rich regions netted him one more delegate than his rival. "The bottom line is that what Hillary has to do is use her institutional advantages, endorsements, her ability to tap into the infrastructure she's built up," Ralston said. "And what Sanders has to do is get new voters registered and engaged on the day of the caucuses." A week after Nevada comes the South Carolina primary, which awards 53 pledged delegates — more than twice as many as New Hampshire's 24. Its Democratic primaries boast a majority-black electorate. The Sanders campaign has invested heavily in South Carolina — it already has more than fifty paid staffers on the ground — and has particularly focused on wooing Black voters. But according to Scott Huffmon, a pollster and political scientist at Winthrop University, Sanders will have a tough time breaking through Clinton's "strong ties" in the African-American community. "I expect there to be a lot of movement toward Bernie Sanders, but not enough," Huffmon said. "It is simply such a different constituency." Sanders himself sounds confident. He told reporters during a press call last Friday that his Palmetto State staffers "are feeling very, very good" about his prospects there. "Let me just say this — and people can play it back a month from now," he said. "I think we are going to do a lot better in South Carolina than people think we will." Joining Sanders on the call was a critical new ally: Ben Jealous, a former president and CEO of the NAACP. Referring to Obama's come-from-behind victory in the state in 2008, Jealous said, "I know how things can turn very, very quickly." That year, an unexpected win in Iowa bolstered Obama in South Carolina. This year, Sanders' New Hampshire blowout could do the same for him. Three days after South Carolina comes the biggest test of all: Super Tuesday. That day, eleven states — including Sanders' own — will cast ballots or hold caucuses. "It's obviously a challenge in terms of allocation of resources," Weaver says. "I mean, you have Vermont, and you have Texas ... In terms of television advertising, you could spend your entire presidential budget in Texas." One advantage the Sanders campaign has is that, unlike the Republican nominating system, the Democrats have no winner-take-all contests. That means that even if Sanders wins only 40 percent of the vote in a state, he'll still be racking up delegates. "That's the beauty for us: It's all proportional," Weaver says. "The key is how you maximize your delegates." Also key will be funding a prolonged and dispersed television advertising war. Tad Devine, Sanders' senior strategist, thinks the campaign's ability to attract and retain small donors will keep his boss in the game longer. "That is one of the great strengths of this campaign — not just the amount of money that we've raised, but the way we've raised money," he says. "We're building a big, national campaign." They're not the only ones. And they're up against a rival who, in 2008, learned a thing or two about waging a protracted fight for delegates. Clinton also brings to the table certain strengths that Sanders will never be able to match: an auxiliary war chest in the form of three super PACs and a massive advantage among so-called "super delegates" — party leaders who can choose to support whomever they want. According to the Associated Press, Clinton has already locked down 362 of 712 super delegates, while Sanders has won the support of just eight. "This is a delegate race," said Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook. "We're not looking to win every single contest every single time. We have a strategy and a plan for the long term." To win the party's nomination, a candidate must win the support of 2,382 of 4,763 delegates at the convention. So far, excluding super delegates, just 66 have been awarded. In other words, it's gonna be a long haul, with a lot of mile markers. But this week, at least, Sanders is in the driver's seat.

__label__wiki	0.546085	0.546085	For the money, not the few Wealth managers are promising business-class service for the masses Banks, brokers and tech buffs vie to look after common people’s $72trn stash of cash Finance and economicsDec 18th 2019 edition LINDA, A 54-YEAR-OLD event consultant in Los Angeles, is neither disorganised nor innumerate. Ask about her finances, however, and you lose her for two hours. She opens her current (checking) account on a mobile app, then cites a rainy-day fund at another bank. She has 14 credit cards, five mortgages, six insurance policies and several pensions with ex-employers. Ranks of pinstriped advisers have long helped the very rich to invest, minimise tax and pass money down the generations. Everyone else has had to work it out on their own. “People’s relationship with money is broken,” says Martin Gronemann of ReD Associates, which uses anthropology to advise businesses. It reckons that personal finances are a bigger source of stress than worries about crime or health. Now, however, financial firms are competing to democratise wealth management. On December 8th Goldman Sachs, which used to shun clients with less than $25m, said its robo-adviser could soon serve clients with as little as $5,000 to invest. And on December 14th Vanguard, an asset manager with nearly $6trn under management, teamed up with Alipay, a Chinese tech giant, to counsel customers with at least 800 yuan ($114). The wealth-management sector is fragmented and ripe for disruption. UBS, the global leader, has a 3% market share and is the only firm in the top four in each of Europe, Asia and America. The industry remains technophobic, says Charlotte Ransom, a Goldman Sachs veteran now at Netwealth, a challenger. Advisers spend half their time on tasks that could be automated. According to EY, a consultancy, only 56% of clients fully understand the fees they pay. The industry stratifies customers in a manner rather similar to airlines. “Affluent” clients, with between $300,000 and $1m in assets, get premium-economy treatment. They may talk to advisers by phone, but banks will do all they can to keep them out of branches. Investment options are limited to ready-made funds. “High-net-worth” clients, with up to $15m, fly business class, picking stocks and chatting in person with named advisers. Flying private are the “ultra-high-net-worth” individuals, who have access to venture capital and currency hedges, with exclusive dinners, golf outings and so on as cherries on top. Whereas high-net-worth individuals typically pay no more than 1% of assets in fees each year, the mass affluent often pay over 2%—the average yield of S&P 500 stocks—for inferior service. Cattle class gets no service at all. Saving for retirement is the second-biggest financial commitment most adults ever make (after buying a home), says James McManus of Nutmeg, a British fintech. Yet most do it with no help. That leaves a lot of money on the table. According to Oliver Wyman, a banking consultancy, the affluent, with $21trn in assets, and those below them, with $51trn, have as much to invest between them as high-net-worth individuals. The problem is that advisers, branches and time are costly. Most private banks deem portfolios below $2m barely profitable. Yet three factors are conspiring to bring that figure down. The first is technology. In 2001 Credit Suisse tried to go budget with a pan-European online network. But the cost quintupled to €500m ($447m), in part because it relied on huge servers. Today data are in the cloud, and firms can bolt on apps instead of coding everything. Second, the top of the pyramid is getting crowded. Banks love wealth management, with its high returns and low need for capital. As they have all tried to expand their high-net-worth offerings, competition has squeezed margins. The market value of a panel of 100-odd wealth managers has dropped by 15% in the last year, using Bloomberg data. Third, negative interest rates are eroding the money held by the masses, about half of which is in cash deposits. So clients are crying for help. That has sparked a race between banks, fintechs and investment firms. Wealth managers need several strengths to succeed, says Matthias Memminger of Bain, a consultancy: technology, trusted brands, marketing dollars and a human touch. Private banks have the last three, but score poorly on IT. They also fear cannibalising their high-net-worth business. UBS shut its robo-adviser in 2018, a year after launch. Investec, a bank, folded its own in May. Startups have the opposite profile. Their robo-advisers generate recommendations by asking simple questions, keeping fees down. They allow customers to buy fractions of shares, and net out orders to reduce trading costs. But their brands are weaker, so acquiring customers costs more. And clients entrust them with only smallish sums. Launched in 2011, Nutmeg manages just £1.9bn ($2.5bn), and Wealthfront, a decade-old American firm, $22bn. Brokers and asset managers also have good technology, which they use to compile data and execute trades. They pile clients’ money into cheap exchange-traded funds and have cut fees to rock-bottom, hoping to cross-sell premium products. Charles Schwab’s robo-adviser manages $41bn; Vanguard’s, $140bn. But their expertise lies in manufacturing investment products, not distributing them. They help people pursue single investment goals, not plan their financial life. To tick all the boxes, contenders are combining forces. In May Goldman Sachs paid $750m for United Capital, a tech-savvy manager. It has also invested in Nutmeg. BlackRock has backed Scalable Capital, a digital service whose robo-adviser is used by banks including ING and Santander. Insurers are jumping in, too. Nucoro, a fintech, recently said that it would power Swiss Risk & Care. Allianz has tied up with Moneyfarm, a British robo-adviser. The logical endpoint is financial platforms—perhaps super-apps that sit on smartphones—which would let customers stitch their patchwork of financial products back together. But the model has not yet been tested by rough economic weather. Volatility makes financial clients prize human contact, says Christian Edelmann of Oliver Wyman. The consultancy reckons the average cost-to-income ratio for the biggest wealth managers would jump from 77% to 91% in a recession. It remains to be seen how well mass-market wealth managers will perform in a downturn. ■ This article appeared in the Finance and economics section of the print edition under the headline "Wealth managers are promising business-class service for the masses"	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0097.json.gz/line1420014

Welcome to the European Society for Periodical Research. Since its inception in 2009, ESPRit has proven its value as an international network for periodical researchers. We are proud of our inspiring annual conferences which bring together scholars from inside and outside of Europe and of the peer-reviewed Open Access Journal of European Periodical Studies (JEPS) which has entered its fourth year. Until recently, ESPRit membership has been informal, consisting mainly of a subscription to our mailing list. As from July 2019, a paid membership system is being put into place. Periodical scholars who wish to support the Society, participate in its annual meetings, and benefit from discounts at future events, are kindly invited to register their membership by clicking on the button below. JOIN ESPRIT 9th International ESPRit Conference Periodical Formats in the Market: Economies of Space and Time, Competition and Transfer / Periodische Formate auf dem Markt: Ökonomien von Raum und Zeit, Konkurrenz und Transfer 16–18 September 2020, Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, organised by the DFG Research Unit 2288 Journal Literature The 9th conference of the European Society for Periodical Research welcomes proposals for original papers, panels, and roundtables concerning the conference topic: Periodical Formats in the Market: Economies of Space and Time, Competition and Transfer. The conference aims to bring together experts and scholars from various disciplines of periodical studies. We welcome proposals from researchers at all stages of their careers. The conference seeks to examine journals from the 18th to the 21th century within the market and its sociocultural, economic, and legal frameworks, exploring two main areas: economies of time and space, i.e. spatiotemporal aspects of the production, distribution, and reception of periodicals and similar serialized formats, and facets of competition and transfer between periodicals within localised and regional as well as international markets. For this purpose, the conference looks at periodicals as agents that react to sociocultural space configurations while simultaneously participating in their nascency, formation, appearance, and perpetual transformation. The conference seeks to advance theoretical approaches, established analytical methods, and analysis oriented towards the spatiotemporal dimensions of periodical culture. To achieve this goal, the 9th ESPRit conference invites theoretical input, case studies, and comparative analysis from philological, philosophical, as well as sociological perspectives from all disciplines (such as philology, media history, history of publishing and printing, comparative literature, cultural studies, gender studies, visual studies, postcolonial studies). Possible topics and case studies include but are not limited to: the formation of periodicals and (international) periodical culture in their relation to space and time; the representation and/or production of cultural, temporal, and/or geographic distance in periodicals; spaces and geographies of production and distribution: spatiotemporal parameters and frameworks like postal service, newsrooms and pressrooms, relations between editorial boards; spaces and geographies of reception: newsagents, cafés, salons, communes, urban/suburban/underground spaces; the writing/printing space: private, semi-public and public writing/printing spaces, technological change and its influence on format and layout; periodicals and utopias/dystopias; cultural, economic, or legal forces of regional, national, or international diversification and exchange within periodical culture, copyright, news agencies, clipping services; material dimensions of journals in space and time: volumes and/or issues of periodicals as visual, tangible, and corruptible objects, contaminations between book forms and journals, paratextual strategies for attracting or evolving reading publics; specific forms of concurrence, competition, and transfer of/in periodicals within certain epochs and in the market of (often interrelated) cities or countries; the translation of periodicals across time and space. Abstracts of no more than 300 words should be sent to conference organisers Christian A. Bachmann, Andreas Beck, Mirela Husić, Nora Ramtke, and Monika Schmitz-Emans (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) no later than 31 January 2020. Please include name, institutional affiliation, email address, and a short CV (150 words). Individual presentations should be 20 minutes long. We especially welcome proposals for panels of three speakers and roundtables with up to 6 discussants. The conference language will be English; German presentations are also welcome. Further information, including details regarding registration and accommodation, will be published on the conference website from December 2019 onwards: www.rub.de/esprit2020. The conference is organised by the DFG Research Unit 2288 Journal Literature. Based in Bochum, Cologne, and Marburg, Germany, the Research Unit strives to formulate the principles of a media literature history. In this regard, the Research Unit understands ‘journal literature’ as an umbrella term for a wide range of literary and non-literary (icono)texts published in an equally wide range of serial print publications: from (illustrated) general interest/news magazines, special interest magazines and ‘little magazines’ to newspapers and comic books.

__label__cc	0.569127	0.430873	Managers Seek Durability, Versatility when Specifying Grounds Equipment By Dan Hounsell, Editor Grounds Management OTHER PARTS OF THIS ARTICLEPt. 1: Grounds Care Equipment Comes of AgePt. 2: Effects of Sustainability Felt in Grounds DepartmentsPt. 3: This PagePt. 4: Products: Grounds Equipment Showcase While cost considerations and the impact on sustainability greatly affect a manager’s specification decisions, a product’s performance in the field ultimately determines its success or failure. For that reason, managers also need to carefully research the full array of features and functions to determine if manufacturers’ offerings meet the department’s needs. “In general, manufacturers have improved the durability of their products over time as part of the normal design processes,” Meyers says. “But key manufacturers have pushed the status quo to develop vehicles with durability and reliability at the forefront of design cycles. Look for the vendors with the longest standard warranties, and you will find the manufacturers that stand behind their products for the long term.” The exploration of features and functions also includes those that directly affect equipment operations and, as a result, productivity and efficiency. “Everyone is focused on durability and reliability, but we’re also focused on maximizing the user experience so it does make them more productive during the entire day of operating that piece of equipment,” Stegemann says. “Specifically, we focus on very rigid testing parameters for our frame construction. We’re also very focused on the suspension of our vehicles. It ensures a better ride and makes the operator more productive because of the greater comfort. It also helps reduce the impact on the vehicle as you go over rough terrain and enhance the longevity of the vehicle.” Of particular importance to many managers is the availability of attachments, which can turn seasonal equipment into year-round resources. “The key is to have a piece of equipment that can be used 12 months out of the year, not just a commercial mower that you’re using seven or eight months tops,” Craig says. This versatility is a benefit that goes directly to the organization’s bottom line. “The additional productivity a piece of equipment can bring through accessories or implements provides higher value to the facility or entity investing in the equipment,” Dobson says. “A mower that can not only mow, but switch to an aeration implement or snow-clearing implement adds value in that the entity can get year-round use without buying several pieces of equipment with multiple engines to maintain to perform the same tasks.” Manufacturers understand the appeal of versatile equipment to grounds departments. As a result, many have revamped the way they develop their products. “What is really exciting are the manufacturers who develop the vehicle with an understanding of what customers jobs are and incorporate attachments into initial vehicle designs,” Meyers says. “This way cabs, brush guards, van boxes, plows, tool holders, etc., all integrate into the vehicle. “This is not only an aesthetic approach, but also increases the ease in which the customer can do the jobs they need to accomplish. Utility vehicles should be much more than a cargo box with four wheels. They should be designed to accomplish a series of jobs and become a year-round asset to that facility’s workload.” Continue Reading: Grounds Equipment Showcase Grounds Care Equipment Comes of Age Effects of Sustainability Felt in Grounds Departments Products: Grounds Equipment Showcase	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0097.json.gz/line1420019

__label__cc	0.598726	0.401274	CMS okays Medicaid money for housing The Obama administration has signed off on the use of Medicaid funds to house enrollees, possibly creating a path that would not only bring down the homeless population but also cut down on hospital costs. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) approved the use of money typically used for clinical services for housing and housing-assistance services last June. Although states will have to apply to use such funds through a Medicaid waiver, CMS is expected to have a fairly welcoming attitude toward such waivers, according to StateLine. "The more we can offset supportive services through Medicaid, the more we can reallocate (federal housing) dollars and private dollars to rent more units," Ed Stellon, interim director of Heartland Health Outreach, a nonprofit focused on helping the poor access healthcare in the Midwest, told StateLine. "If I can pay for even one of the case managers through Medicaid, I might be able to pay rent for a dozen units and expand the number of people with housing with existing resources." Housing the homeless can actually have a direct impact on hospital costs, as WFTV-TV reported that last year. Just 100 homeless patients who required frequent emergency room visits cost Florida Hospital $15 million. Some patients interviewed by the television station said having regular shelter would ensure they require less intensive healthcare services. Hospitals have tried grappling with so-called frequent fliers. One provider in Wisconsin has resorted to social workers, while cities such as Reno, Nevada, have retrained paramedics and other first responders to deal with such patients. However, some others say the behavior of many homeless won't change even if they obtain housing, primarily due to mental health and substance abuse issues. "They are going to do the same thing when they are in housing, whether they are in a shelter or on the street," Orlando Rescue Mission Volunteer David Buckler told WFTV. "They will do it wherever they are living." - here's the CMS announcement (.pdf) - read the StateLine article - check out the WFTV story	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0097.json.gz/line1420030
__label__cc	0.657599	0.342401	Business/Life & Style Hungry customers ordering online by fm Online food deliveries are rapidly growing with €40mln worth of orders placed online last year as the market has been boosted by aggregator platforms which have also seen their business grow. Online platforms argue that they have seen their business soar, while some 900 restaurants which placed their menu on such platforms have seen their business increase from 25% to 100% within the first month. Talking to the Financial Mirror CEO of one of the biggest platforms says it handles some 250,000 orders for 861 restaurants monthly as the industry is growing much faster than expected. Foody CEO Argyris Argyrou, said his company aims to handle more than 50% of all food delivery orders placed, regardless of the method. Arguing that Cyprus is following a global trend, with online ordering taking off as consumers can now have all options for delivery in one place. “Younger generations especially, order commodities more frequently online rather than going to the shops or calling up stores.” Argyrou noted that, according to statistics, 79% of people aged 17-34 have ordered food online at least once. The Foody CEO argued that online ordering is also catching on as apps offer a set of search filters which make life easier for hungry consumers. “Imagine carrying in your pocket the menus of 860 restaurants, all within one App. All you have to do is go to the Foody App or visit foody.com.cy, type in your postcode, and then all the restaurants that deliver to your area will appear on your screen”. He added that there are options for choosy consumers who don’t like tomatoes or parsley in their pork souvlaki pita. “They can simply tick it off”. Founded in 2015 as a start-up company, Foody has grown to be the biggest online aggregator for the takeaway industry, attracting a major investor and one of the biggest players in online ordering Delivery Hero. Based in Germany, Delivery Hero boasts being the largest food network in the world with 310,000+ restaurant partners in over 40 countries. Argyrou said that while updating their software systems to offer consumers and businesses a better experience, Foody is also planning to enter the delivery market with its own delivery fleet. He noted that when the company does go ahead with building its fleet, it will opt for low emission vehicles, with a preference to electrical motorcycles, following global trends and the guidelines of its parent company. “Delivery Hero globally is committed at the highest level to reduce its environmental impact and is committed to becoming a carbon-neutral company.” This sensitivity is also shared by the Cyprus team, he argued, noting that their offices are almost fully paperless and that they reuse or recycle almost everything. Also enjoying their business thriving are local competitors Deliveryman who have seen demand for ordering online growing at pace. Prompted by an increase in demand for delivery services in general, Deliveryman has already included kiosks in their platform, and are considering adding supermarkets. Talking to the Financial Mirror, Michalis Tyrimos, chief strategy officer and director of the product arm of Digital Tree, which is in charge of Deliveryman, said consumers do not only order their lunch online but also their morning or afternoon coffee. €3 mln orders a month Tyrimos said Deliveryman estimates that a minimum of €3,000,000 worth of orders is being placed online every month in the Cyprus food and coffee online market. “According to Forbes, the online food/coffee ordering market will be worth $200 bln globally by 2025. Just 5-6 years ago, the same market was worth $100 mln – that’s roughly a 2000fold increase within 10 years.” Despite Deliveryman being around for just under a year, they have succeeded in bringing on board more than 400 restaurants while growing rapidly. “In 2020 we are expecting to surpass 800 restaurants. We have a website (www.deliveryman.com.cy) and native mobile apps for Android”. He argued online platforms offer consumers a better ordering experience as they do not have to wait for their call to be picked up by a busy operator. “Online ordering, as a process, is more efficient for restaurants, more convenient for users, and faster for both the customer and businesses,” Tyrimos said. Restaurants receive the order via a printer or directly on their POS system. As a result, restaurants can receive more orders in a shorter period with less or no mistakes. Asked what’s in it for the businesses, Tyrimos answered with a single word: Customers. He explained 95% of restaurants have their delivery fleet, with platforms like Deliveryman acting as aggregators. “Restaurants that would have to promote their business to attract customers, now receive orders and exposure via our platform as the userbase is already in place.” Tyrimos said future plans may include expanding into grocery deliveries but for now, Deliveryman is concentrating on remaining the second-largest player in the market, while building up their share. “Deliveryman offers a lower commission fee to the restaurants than our competitors and other freebies, including exposure via our media channels and free listings on ergodotisi.com – among other things.” In a competitive market, both online ordering platforms have increased their staff significantly, with Foody employing some 50 people, while Deliveryman aims to build a team of 20 within 2020. Not to mention the number of businesses expanding the delivery services with boots on the ground.

You might know that James Earl Jones provided the voice for Luke Skywalker's Sith father, but do you know an actor named David Prowse put on the mask to play the character on set? Or do you know the actor behind the mask of Han Solo's bounty hunter nemesis Boba Fett? A new documentary called Elstreet 1976 focuses on those actors and more, but they need help. Here's a trailer for Elstreet 1976, which is asking for help for post-production on Kickstarter: Film School Rejects called our attention to this interesting documentary from Jon Spira (Anyone Can Play a Guitar), who became interested in the subject after meeting John Chapman, an actor who played a Rebel pilot in the Battle of Yavin in the original Star Wars, in his screenwriting class. As you can see, Spira also rounded up Paul Blake (Greedo), Garrick Hagon (Biggs Darklighter), and Pam Rose (Cantina bar's Leesub Sirln), Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett) and Prowse. As we indicated, the film is already mostly done shooting, but needs funds for post-production. If you want to help, check out their Kickstarter page here!

__label__wiki	0.926008	0.926008	TrailersNewsFeaturesReviews AllTrailersNewsFeaturesReviews True History of the Kelly Gang is an electrifying reimagining of an Australian legend Alexandra Heller-Nicholas 24 September 19Reviews Justin Kurzel’s exhilarating film about Ned Kelly issues a sharp bolt of electricity directly into the heart of this well-worn legend, writes Alexandra Heller-Nicholas. So entrenched in Australian folklore is the story of Ned Kelly and his spectacular showdown with police in Glenrowan that the lines distinguishing fact and fiction are almost now beside the point. It is in this spirit that Justin Kurzel’s fourth feature True History of the Kelly Gang, which recently had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, kicks off from the outset. Even before the film’s title appears, on-screen text informs us in no uncertain terms that the film that follows is in fact not ‘true’ at all. From Sidney Nolan’s famous paintings of the famous figure to Peter Carey’s 2001 Booker Prize winning novel upon which Kurzel’s film is based, the story of Ned Kelly and his gang conjures an almost instantaneous image of his iconic face-covering metal armour. Simultaneously, his very name provokes a list of associated keywords: i.e. “bushranger,” “Australia’s answer to Robin Hood” and “cop-killer” (relax, in this case the cops are the bad guys). Adapting the story of the Kelly gang plays a significant role not just in Australian film history, but world cinema more broadly. Charles Tait’s 1906 feature The Story of the Kelly Gang is today largely recognised as the very first fictional feature-length movie ever made. Filmmakers have returned to the story every decade from 1920 onwards, until it hit the international big time with British director Tony Richardson’s famous 1970 film Ned Kelly, starring Mick Jagger in the title role. From Yahoo Serious’ Reckless Kelly in 1993 to Gregor Kelly’s Heath Ledger-fronted Ned Kelly in 2003, the outlaw’s image has been into everything from video games to breakfast cereal commercials. In theory, there should therefore be a degree of pressure on Kurzel in terms of coming up with an original take on the nation-defining legend. But as he proved with his impressive 2015 screen adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth, he has little difficulty in taking familiar, almost sacred material and making it his own. Despite the true crime nature of the Kelly story, True History of the Kelly Gang curiously shares more both stylistically and thematically with Macbeth than it does the perhaps most obvious candidate from Kurzel’s filmography, his 2011 debut feature Snowtown – another film based on a real-life Australian bloodbath. From the opening moments of True History of the Kelly Gang, a similar stylistic abstraction to Macbeth dominates: while the Shakespeare film is marked by a toxic orange fog, Kurzel’s stylistic signature in Kelly Gang is a contemporary Australian take on German Expressionism (an early 20th century artistic movement which in film was marked by high contrast black and white photography and sharp angles that grant narratives unique psychological depth and intensity). As we first enter Ned’s world, the harsh angles of bushfire-blackened trees scar the landscape around his crude, poverty-stricken childhood home where he and his siblings are raised by their fiercely independent Irish mother Ellen (Essie Davis). Impressively played as a child by Orlando Schwerdt, the young Ned is overpowered by the force of his mother’s often morally-dubious passions, and Kurzel places the relationship between mother and son squarely at the centre of a story that has largely been dominated historically almost completely by men and their interpersonal relationships. True History of the Kelly Gang is told in flashback. Ned recounts his story through voiceover, writing his life’s journey down on paper for his son as he awaits execution in Melbourne after the famous Glenrowan showdown that saw the rest of Kelly’s gang obliterated. Acts of reading and writing mark Ned’s behaviour throughout the film; not only in terms of the written word, but how he reads situations, often observing quietly as a child before being forced into criminal actions that he is at first unsure of (particularly those ordered by elder bushranger Harry Power, played by an Orson Welles-like Russell Crowe). As an adult, Kelly actively becomes the author of his own fate as he passionately embraces the outlaw label during the gang’s years on the run from the law after shooting three policemen. Sign up for Flicks updates Yet aside from its striking visual style and undeniable punk rock spirit, what makes Kurzel’s telling of the Kelly legend so compelling is his attention to the women in Ned’s life. While his sister Kate is yet again little more than a footnote, Ellen is second only to Ned as a central character. As one of Australia’s strongest actors, Davis is of course undeniably a monumental force on screen, but even an actor of her calibre is given a run for her money by comparative newcomer Thomasin McKenzie. Receiving international acclaim for her starring role in Debra Granik’s 2018 film Leave No Trace, the New Zealand actor’s depiction of Ned’s partner Mary is one of the most memorable in a film packed to the brim with solid performances. Of these, particular note must be made of Earl Cave. He plays gang member and Ned’s brother, Dan, whose physical similarity to his father Nick Cave is overshadowed by the young actor’s grace and confidence in front of the camera. The combined talents of cinematographer Ari Wegner and editor Nick Fenton add to the pounding rhythm of the film, driven by a haunting score by Kurzel’s brother and long-time collaborator, composer Jed Kurzel. True History of the Kelly Gang issues a sharp bolt of electricity directly into the heart of this well-worn legend, granting it an intoxicating energy that speaks well beyond the hackneyed ‘wild colonial boys’ clichés of yore.

And literally, because it replaces the classical structure of the website with the exploration of mysterious houses as a part of the urban infrastructure which invites them to explore – each of them hides interesting content enriched with videos, animation, audio and games ... When a child enters the room he intuitively slides through educational sets and interactively, from different perspectives, learns about the story of water and learns how to protect water sources with Cevko. Children, ages 8-12 Children’s parents Educational workers in schools Special Kudos 2015 (CSS Design Awards) Special Mention (Awwwards) Netko finalist 2013 WEBSi – Online Champion 2015 Netko Winner 2011 Cevko.si signifies an attempt to understand the user habits of children, therefore it forsakes the typical menu structure and allows even the youngest users to access content via the gaming platform of entering into the city hall. A child simply selects an area house and explores the multimedia rich content, thus educating themselves on the significance of drinking water in our lives and learning about how to treat water resources responsibly, and last but not least they are recruited as a guardian of water resources. They have fun in different ways even with Cevko’s Song or before bedtime when they can listen to a fairy tale in bed. Unified user experience A few years ago, we set ourselves the challenge of educating even the youngest groups about the significance of water in our lives and to teach them how to become guardians of water resources. For this purpose we came up with a mascot – Cevko (Tubey) – which is a reflection of the JP VODOVOD-KANALIZACIJA company’s operations, a pipe conveying clean (blue Tubey) or waste (brown Tubey) water. We built Cevko a home in the form of a website that unifies numerous educational content, animations, video stories, games, quizzes, fairy tales and even his own song, and we integrated the children into the story with workshops at schools and kindergartens. We also prepared a video which touches viewers’ senses with the story of water, and it is also comprehensible even for the youngest children: The updated website is the logical result of numerous activities. With the new user experience, we understand the child even better and integrate them into the water story intuitively, whereby everything adapts to different displays. It operates using responsive image design, however the user experience is optimized on a computer screen due to the video and animations. The demonstration is entirely adapted to Retina displays. Solutions that bring results The Special Kudos (CSS Design Awards) and Special Mention (Awwwards) international awards prove that the site has achieved excellent reviews on a global scale. With the updated website, we took a step forward along the path of intuitive research – we got rid of classic pop-up paths and took into account implemented research, leading the young children to the finish line through playing. Whereby we have not forgotten about even the smallest surprises, e.g. different day and night scene, occasional prize games, activities related to events... With a user experience adapted for children, we can entertain them for approximately 3:50 minutes, in which time they can review more than 6 pages and the quitting level is almost null (12%). The penetration is excellent – the majority of children in Ljubljana know and respect the messages and they spread them among adults. Our clients trust us big time and vice versa.

NTU Food Science and Technology Director Professor William Chen spoke to FoodNavigator-Asia about the inspirations and background surrounding his team’s breakthrough discovery of the all-natural, clean label preservative. “It is definitely a game-changer, and will bring enormous benefits for consumers. […] I’m very proud, very happy – This could be our best piece of work so far!” enthused Prof Chen, who is based at NTU’s School of Chemical and Bioengineering. The preservative in question is naturally synthesised by S. cerevisiae, a species of yeast. It boasts all-natural antimicrobial and anti-oxidant properties, and has been shown to keep food fresh for a significantly longer time than commercial artificial preservatives. The types of foods tested were fresh foods, such as meat slices and squeezed fruit juice. The experiment was conducted at room temperature, and the plant-based food preservative was found to keep the foods fresh for two days. Samples treated with commercial-grade artificial food preservatives showed bacterial contamination within roughly six hours. Prof Chen added: “As a matter of fact, when we checked on the samples after two days, the amount of contamination we saw in the [other] samples looked similar to that of the control group’s.” One of the bacteria that was tested for was S. aureus, a microbe known to cause food poisoning via the infection of both fresh and processed foods. The compound’s powerful preservation properties actually come from a combinatory synthesis of four flavonoids: Naringenin, phenylacetaldehyde, phloretic acid and homogentisic acid. “Naringenin was our initial targeted product, but for this to work as a preservative, it must be a combination of all four of these flavonoids, which are all produced in the same pathway,” explained Prof Chen. An extra benefit of the preservative is its antioxidant properties, which even pure flavonoids (e.g. commercially available pure naringenin) cannot compare with, let alone other artificial preservatives. “When it comes to E-numbered food preservatives, these generally do not show any antioxidant activity at all,” added Prof Chen. Inspirations and backstory “It all started with a philosophy to enhance food security in Singapore,” said Prof Chen. “90% of food in Singapore is imported, making food security a prime concern. We at NTU decided to delve deeper into the processing technology aspect of food security, as we found it to be the right fit for our expertise.” As part of the Food Science and Technology (FST) programme (which Prof Chen is the director of) co-operation was already in place with Dutch university Wageningen University. Wageningen holds one of the global top spots for food science and technology. A famous example was a study on growing plants on Mars soil, which inspired Hollywood blockbuster movie The Martian. The FST programme revolved around the vision to create a ‘zero-waste food processing circular economy’, which would minimise food wastage, improve health and propel food technology forward. “From a proof-of-concept level, we already achieved this zero-waste cycle,” commented Prof Chen in reference to previous studies from both universities. “The next step forward was to extend the shelf life of products, which thus led to looking at preservation.” Taking consumer concerns over artificial preservatives into consideration, the aim was not to look for a replacement artificial preservative, but for the organic solvents used to chemically synthesise these. Flavonoids are not naturally antimicrobial. They are present in a number of plants, responsible for colour. It is only when the plants are placed under stress, e.g. attached by microbes that these are modified to become antimicrobial via a process called prenylation. “However, prenylated flavonoids are however harmful to the body’s endocrine system, so we had a real Catch 22 situation on our hands,” said Prof Chen. Wageningen had already completed some research on prenylated flavonoids, and the NTU research team was trying to further that by first synthesising flavonoids in yeast, then introducing the prenylation mechanism. The prenylation didn’t work out, but instead the team got what Prof Chen dubs “an unexpected surprise”. “Our initial intention was certainly not to replace chemical preservatives, so it was a real bingo moment for us when we tried the synthesised flavonoid as a preservative,” he said. “We didn’t even have to extract it from the yeast, as it was secreted naturally. […] It’s all natural, so this can alleviate fears of genetic modification in the public,” he added. Entering the preservatives market The preservative has caught the attention of multiple food companies, with intellectual property (IP) discussions already in progress. “The limiting factor when it comes to enter the market is probably cost,” said Prof Chen. “Consumers are very accepting of things that are natural, but very wary of the cost factor.” One way to overcome this, he said, is to work with partners in the food industry. “So far I’ve been lucky when it comes to industry partners,” he said. “What I want to do is work with these food industry partners to up the scale of production, so that hopefully this preservative can become more comparable in pricing to chemical ones.” Replying to whether possible complications of the synthesis process would hinder cost-lowering, Prof Chen was very confident that this is not so. “It is definitely not harder to synthesise and produce as compared to artificial preservatives, as there are no extra steps involved in extraction, separation and purification of the product after the yeast synthesises and secretes it,” he explained. Commercial potential Flavonoids are already used as natural health supplements currently, boasting anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic and anti-cancer properties. As such, the key characteristics that give this plant-based preservative such enormous potential are its all-natural factor, the additional health benefits it can provide - and one more interesting extra. “It actually tastes pretty good,” said Prof Chen. “I tried it myself, and it’s got a good flavour to it, especially the aftertaste.” “At the first taste, it’ll start out somewhat spiky, like when you’re eating an onion, but then it develops into a fruity taste.” As such, this discovery seems to have all the bases covered, despite today’s consumers showing increasing demand when it comes, whether it be in the areas of health consciousness or high food quality. But this is not a one-size-fits-all solution that can be used magic bullet for preservation, says the professor. “Don’t forget, this preservative was produced on yeast, so it definitely does not have anti-fungal properties,” he clarified. “What it can do is to hopefully replace current artificial chemical preservatives in the market that are anti-bacterial or anti-oxidant.” The team hopes to work with more food companies to finetune the application potentials of this discovery. “There is a lot more to discover. We also want to investigate [its] antimicrobial and antioxidant mechanisms, as well as any possible side effects that may occur when it comes into contact with other food ingredients,” said Prof Chen. “This discovery will definitely aid in the production of new food products to suit the changing lifestyle today, including ready-to-eat processed foods. Its being natural will also certainly add to the overall appeal.” Related topics: Formulation, All Asia-Pacific, Food safety, South East Asia, Industry growth, Supply chain, Bakery, Convenience foods and snacks, Meat Indonesian study reveals low consumption of ultraprocessed foods in Jakarta Cancer link to red meat consumption may not exist for Asians: Study Opinion: How Singapore’s food industry is shaking things up for the future Is technology the answer to solving Asia's food waste crisis?

__label__wiki	0.732099	0.732099	The Footy Almanac Write. From the Heart. Almanac Shop Almanac History: Moratorium April 27, 2018 by Glen 9 Comments On Friday May 8 1970, more than 100, 000 people took to the streets of Melbourne to march in the Moratorium; an event organised to show public opposition to the undeclared war in Vietnam. Compounding the involvement in an undeclared war there was much anger about the National Service Act (NSA) of 1964 which saw 20 year old males drafted into the armed forces. 19,000 of these drafted saw action in Vietnam. On top of the NSA, in 1965 amendments to the Defence Act saw Australian conscripts sent to Vietnam from 1966 onwards. A moratorium is best described as a temporary cessation of activity. It can be interpreted as interruption to business as usual. The origins of the Australian Moratoriums can be traced back to the United States of America in 1969 with the establishment of their Vietnam Moratorium Committee, (VMC). Their first Moratorium was held on October 15 with around 1,000,000 participants taking action in different cities and towns. A further Moratorium followed, spread across three days, November 13-15, with large scale turn outs showing their opposition to the conflict in Vietnam. Inspired by this, meetings were conducted in Australia in late 1969 aiming to organise a Moratorium here. We also established our own Vietnam Moratorium Committee. Within our VMC different political viewpoints were expressed with the demands and goals being constantly debated. The Australian VMC was ostensibly established to provide a vehicle for the more established groupings such as the peace movement, parties like the Australian Labour Party and the Communist Party of Australia who sought to control/minimise the influence of the more radical groups. The latter, were often led by the members of the Monash Labor Club. As is the wont in politics compromises were obtained. The VMC planned a moratorium to be held in all states in early 1970, demanding the withdrawal of all foreign troops from Vietnam, as well as the repeal of the NSA. After much debate of the Moratoriums goals, the radicals managed to get the word immediate included in these demands. This gave greater emphasis to the Moratoriums goals. Open meetings conducted in the Richmond Town Hall saw attendances of around 400 people working to set the goals/politics of the moratorium. One area debated was the actual nature of the day, what actions would highlight the importance, and strength of the moratorium? Radicals pushed for an occupation of the city streets, the more conservative elements opposed this. After extensive debate, and various political machinations, an occupation of a section of the Central Business District (CBD) with a sit down was agreed. Following many months of hard work and political debate about the shape and direction of the Moratorium the big day dawned. Across Australia events were held on Friday May 8 to show opposition to the war. These dates coincided with events in the USA. Melbourne saw the largest turnout of people. The Melbourne Moratorium on May 8 1970 saw over 100,000 people participate making it the largest demonstration then seen in Australia. City streets were peacefully occupied with demonstrators sitting down to hear speakers, as the CBD overflowed with the big turnout. Despite hysterical commentary from Members of Parliament, such as the Federal Minster for Labour and National Service, Billy Snedden who described the demonstrators as ‘bikies pack raping democracy ‘ as well as derision in the corporate media from outlets like the Age, and the Herald, a large non-violent event was held. This was the first and biggest of the three moratoriums. For the progressive trade unions involved in the moratorium a rallying cry to attend the moratorium was, stop work to stop the war; it worked for many. But on the following day no one was stopping the VFL footy for anyone. On, Saturday May 9, Round six of the VFL season took place. As we who are old enough recall, in those days Melbourne (not forgetting Geelong) saw six matches on a Saturday, with the only non Saturday matches in that period scheduled on Easter Monday, Anzac Day and Queens Birthday Monday. However 1970 saw a unique event, a Sunday game kicking off the year. Round 9 saw the previous year’s runner up Carlton take on Fitzroy at Princess Park. Carlton had only suffered one loss so far in the season, that being to Richmond in a repeat of the previous year’s grand final. Fitzroy had started the year in interesting fashion, defeating reigning premier’s Richmond in Round one. This was played before royalty: Queen Elizabeth, Prince Phillip, the Prince of Wales and Princess Ann attending on Sunday April 5, the VFL’s first ever Sunday match. Fitzroy followed this with two momentous matches. The following week they played their first match at their new home, the Junction Oval. St Kilda caned them to the tune of 110 points. Next week they played in the first ever match at VFL Park Waverly. Again they were on the wrong side of a big defeat, Geelong winning by 61 points. Missing from the Fitzroy side that played Carlton at Princess Park was John Duckworth, who served in Vietnam. Amongst the Carlton ranks were Ted Hopkins and Brent Croswell, both of whom have been linked with the progressive side of politics. Did they attend the Moratorium the day prior? Geelong was at their home ground Kardinia Park against Footscray, a team who’d not won there since the end of World War 2. Geelong full forward Doug Wade, who’d, finished 1969 with 127 goals to his name kicked 5 goals 4 in the home side’s 46 point victory: 18-15-123, to 11-11-77. He also found himself before the tribunal for belting Footscray ruckman Ken Greenwood. The tribunal was unimpressed giving Wade a fortnight’s holiday. Missing from the Geelong side that day was Wayne Closter who’d injured himself in the previous home game against Collingwood. Closter was a national service man who served in Vietnam. At their Lake Side Oval South Melbourne took on St Kilda. Despite losing two of their three opening matches, South Melbourne had improved, including defeating the reigning premiers Richmond the week prior. South Melbourne had not played in a finals series since their loss in the 1945 blood bath grand final. Where would 1970 take them? Despite poor kicking, 9-25-79, the home side won by 17 points, their opponents finishing with 9-8-62. Starring for the victors was the boy from Port Melbourne, a player who represented Victoria in Sheffield Shield cricket, Peter Bedford. Picking up 23 disposals, and 7 marks, he also contributed 3 goals 4. He won the Brownlow that year, the first time it was televised. I have vague, memories of watching it @ my grandparents’ house in Corowa. For the vanquished, Jim O’Dea and Neil Besanko helped across the backline, with their flashy centre man Ian Stewart, in his last season at Moorabbin, contributing with 23 touches. Richmond took on Hawthorn, who despite starting the year with five losses had been in winning positions in four of those games. The previous week they’d lost to Footscray by three points, in a match that said farewell to the legendary Teddy Whitten. There were also three losses by between one and two goals. None the less they were last on the ladder, though only one game behind Richmond who, were suffering a premiership hang over. In a high scoring shoot out, Richmond were too steady in the final term kicking 5-1 to 3-5. The two Peter’s kicked 13 of the Hawks goals: Hudson 8, Crimmins 5, but the Tigers led by 6 from Royce Hart, complemented by 4 apiece from Rex Hunt and Eric Moore, won by 7 points keeping Hawthorn winless on the bottom. Richmond 21-11-137 beat Hawthorn 20-10-130. At this time Rex Hunt was a serving member of the Victoria Police, as were a few other VFL footballers. Was he on duty for the Moratorium? Royce Hart though drafted into the army under the NSA of 1964 did not go to Vietnam; rather he ended being stationed in South Australia, where he played one game with Glenelg. There is still some conjecture re Hart’s actions, with allegations a politician pulled strings allowing Hart to avoid going to Vietnam. Collingwood sitting top of the ladder had a big win over North Melbourne at Arden Street. After kicking 23-10 in their opening round clash with Footscray the Pies developed goal kicking yips, with point’s tallies of 19, 24, 17 and 17 again, in the matches following this, before the 30 against the Roos. In the absence of century goal kicker, Peter McKenna, Robert Dean, in his first full season kicked 6 goals 5, these including his first goal in league football. Anecdotally two North Melbourne players were among the 100,000 plus at the Moratorium. Does anyone know the identities of this mystery pair? The other match this round had Melbourne taking on Essendon at the MCG. A decade earlier this would have been the match of the day, but on this occasion, both sides sat outside of the then final four. Melbourne held the wooden spoon; Essendon had been runners up back in 1968, though dropped down the ladder in 1969. In a low scoring, drab contest the home side were too steady wining by 15 points, 10-12-72, to 7-15-57. Melbourne forwards Ross Dillon and Greg Parke had a good input into their victory. Dillon kicked 4 straight goals. Parke kicked 1 goal, though with his 24 marks he constantly menaced Essendon in the air. He later played for Footscray, then Fitzroy, in a distinguished 189 game career. Like Rex Hunt he was a serving member of the Victoria Police. Was he working in the CBD that Friday May 8? For Essendon, debutant Bruce Neish kicked 4 of their 7 goals, the highest tally for his 22 game career. In the Essendon team that day was Greg Perry, who served with the Australian armed forces in Vietnam. What did he think of the Moratorium? On a separate note, one of the Essendon defenders in that match was Doug Tassell, sadly killed in a car crash only a few weeks later. Further opposition to the war gathered momentum across Australia over the next few years. From November 1970 Australian forces began withdrawing from Vietnam, as a phased withdrawal was implemented. By the start of 1973 the only Australian troops remaining in Vietnam were the Australian Embassy platoon who were there, on and off, until the Fall of Saigon in 1975. Of the 60,000 Australian forces deployed in Vietnam, 521 were killed and over 3,000 wounded. By the end of the undeclared war Carlton had won the 1972 VFL premiership, the second of three they’d win in a four year bloc, with Richmond following this with a quinella in 1973-1974. The conflict in Vietnam had faded from the front pages, though the VFL remained a staple part of our lives. Glen! About Glen d Colin Ritchie says Loved your article Glen. It brought back memories of a defining moment in not only my life but a defining time of change in the history of our nation. I was there, so many people marching as one, the speeches, and the noise, a fantastic experience for a young, naive country boy! A real turning point for our country. And the footy was good! Phillip Dimitriadis says Great stuff Glen! Moratorium is such a 60s/70s term. I was born in ’69 so I don’t remember any of this.The footy of the era was exciting and awareness was broadening with more young people being able to access free education and mass media. Poignant questions regarding free-thinkers like Crosswell and Hopkins. What role did Kevin Sheedy play? Wasn’t he in the army around this time? If so, wonder how much that influenced the current ANZAC Day game. Enjoyed that Glen! Cheers. G’day Phil. Kevin Sheedy was a ‘nasho’, recruited into the armed forces under the National Service Act 1964. Re the Anzac Day clashes between your ‘Pies’ and the ‘Bombers’, Sheedy has credited the 1977 Anzac Day clash where Tom Hafey coached up against his old side for the first time as an inspiration for the present day format. I mention that in my recent posting re Anzac Day 1980. Peter_B says Thanks Glen! Great and terrifying memories. I was one year shy of having my birth date go in the barrel for National Service army conscription lotto when Gough won in 1972. It was a terrifying prospect for a young man to think that you may have to go unwillingly into the armed forces and shoot people you had no quarrel with (or be shot). I remember a vague unease but feeling there was nothing to do about it but trust faith (and Gough) that it wouldn’t happen for me as it had for older acquaintances. My memory is that in Adelaide there were 2 main anti-war groups. The Moratorium Committee was headed by the hairy wild eyed radical Professor Brian Medlin. The Campaign for Peace in Vietnam by the boyish, corduroy suited Professor Neal Blewett (both from Flinders Uni). As a shy country boy I decided I was one of the “nice people against the war” and sided with the CPV’s less radical agenda. Heady times. Some evocative pix below of SA in the 70’s including Vietnam War protests (Swish being dragged away by 5 coppers?); Barrie Robran; the pie cart; and serious men in hats and dark suits. http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/south-australia/picture-special-everyday-life-in-adelaide-and-south-australia-in-the-1970s/news-story/3ba0e44bbf9a37cf40cb795b3439ffa3 Luke Reynolds says That’s a great read Glen. What a different time. Can’t imagine having the worry of being potentially forced to go to war. I registered for the draft. I was very nervous at the time. With my hair down to my shoulders, knowing it would be cutoff if drafted, and the possibility, that I, a pacifist could be sent to fight in a war was something I did not want, and very frightening to me. I didn’t sleep for days leading up to my ballot. Thankfully my number stayed in the barrell but some friends and work colleagues did get called up, one sent to Vietnam coming back a nervous wreck! Our politicians of the time have a lot to answer for! John Harms says Terrific piece Glen. The images of that time are very powerful (and thanks PB). So many learnings – including learning how to agitate. The actual organisation of agitation and the development of the understanding that voices count. I was 8 in 1970 so a little older than Phil. Glen! It would be great if we could get answers to those rhetorical questions you ask – about what those footballers were doing and thinking – about their politics really. Rex Hunt. Greg Perry. And others? https://www.footyalmanac.com.au/vfl-and-the-vietnam-war/ Valid point John, what did the footballing fraternity of the time think about the conflict in Vietnam? A number of players saw action over there as the above cited link shows. Bob Muntz says Yes Glen they were heady days in 1970. You ask about footballers attending the Friday May 8 Moratorium rally in the CBD. I am not sure, but I do know they were all under very strong pressure not to be involved, not to make any statements about the issue, by their clubs. Any footballer who defied that pressure would have had to be an absolute champion to keep his place in the side. Perhaps Sergeant Alan Jeans of the Victoria Police was there on May 8. He certainly had been part of the thin blue line the previous year when a union march in the city demanded that the Arbitration Commission penal powers to jail unionists had led to the jailing of Clarrie O’Shea. And Colin Ritchie, refusing to be conscripted for Vietnam was no guarantee you could keep your shoulder-length hair. I was conscripted, refused to join the army, and sent to Pentridge instead. My long hair lasted only a few minutes in there. 6% on Villiers-Bretonneux remembers once again: School supports bushfire efforts Chris Ansell on Almanac Club Cricket – Willy the All-Rounder Tim on So close to the Holy Grail: A personal reflection on Fitzroy Football Club’s 1983 season Peter Fuller on Thoughts on the decline of Aussie tennis (and why grinners are winners) Kyle on State of Origin Canadian style: Edmonton Oilers at Calgary Flames John Harms on Aspiring Young Writers’ Group: Conflict, of interest Paul Spinks on Thoughts on the decline of Aussie tennis (and why grinners are winners) Kate on I quite like walking… Smokie on To drive or to walk?

The project’s incorporation of armor—a form that is both distinctly iconographic and foreign to the artist’s own hand—marks an aesthetic and conceptual divergence for Icelandic Thorarinsdottir, who in her home country is a celebrated pioneer (the first female sculptor to have two solo shows at the Reykjavik Art Museum, 1982 and 1987) whose androgynous figure installations have since 1976 been mounted in dozens of prominent sites around Reykjavik and beyond.

__label__cc	0.664711	0.335289	Nancy’s UK Tour Journal: Light Bulb Inventing the lightbulb Bonjour! It’s Nancy here – from the soon-to-be world famous pop group Nancy and the Meerkats! After our first record “Put Your Paws Up” became a massive hit, we’re off on a huge tour of the UK! We haven’t quite made it to stadium status yet – some of the venues are more Weeny than Wembley – but I’m going to be letting you know what’s been going on each day in my journal for Fun Kids! So today… it’s my birthday! I am so excited because The Meerkats have been planning a very special concert for tonight to celebrate… It’s going to be a light show extravaganza! Ooh la la! Aren’t my girls the best? We’ve got lazers and loads of coloured light bulbs and our fans are going to be able to see the show for miles! Light bulbs certainly were a brilliant invention! Big Joe says Joseph Swan was the British inventor who came up with the idea of running electricity through a tiny piece of wire inside a bulb. It wasn’t all plain sailing though – apparently an American inventor called Thomas Edison claimed to have had the idea first! To avoid a fight they joined forces and created the Edison & Swan Electric Light Company. Perhaps we should do the same with Kitty Perry? Ha, ha! Just kidding! Well, actually, it wasn’t all plain sailing for us either… Big Joe was unpacking the lightbulbs for the light show and discovered a big problem – we’d been giving the wrong type of bulbs! What we needed were the screw-in sort but we had a message on Big Joe’s phone from the shop saying “Thank you for phoning today and telling us there had been a mix-up. We have changed all the bulbs to the click-in kind.” Ah non! Someone must have called the shop and changed the order! Which means we got given four thousand light bulbs and not one of them would fit! I can guess who was behind that… Kitty Perry! That smelly old scragpuss! She’s always looking for a way to spoil the show – and it was too late to get replacements! Luckily I came up with a genius idea to save tonight’s concert! We’re going to get all our fans to hold their mobile phones screens up instead! It’s going to look amazing!

The survey revealed that 66% of companies across the United Kingdom and Europe are early adopters, whereas 82% South African companies are quick to respond to innovation. Only France and Spain had higher rates of adoption at 86% and 83% respectively, while 40% of companies in the UK, 44% in Netherlands, 66% in Germany, 68% in Italy and 78% in Poland were early adopters of new technology. “Technological advancement has accelerated at a rapid rate in recent years, with no signs of slowing down,” says Justin Manson, Sales Director for TomTom Telematics South Africa. “Previously, companies could take a wait-and-see approach, following on their peers’ successes and avoiding failures. Only then would they implement well-established technologies, but this approach is no longer an option as businesses are now expected to become more connected, mobile and adaptable to change.” The study was conducted among 1,400 business managers in the UK and six European countries and duplicated in South Africa among 100 business managers. Nearly half (47%) of companies in the UK/Europe study expect artificial intelligence to become part of the normal working day in the next 10 years, compared to 63% in South Africa. Also, 39% of respondents in the bigger study believe virtual reality will soon be in common use, while 65% of South African feel this way. Twenty-eight percent predict connected cars will be commonplace during this period, and 25% anticipate “in-vehicle working” will become prevalent due to the development of autonomous vehicles. In South Africa, 41% of respondents envision a rise in self-driving cars over the next ten years. Already, several car makers are producing commercially available semi-autonomous vehicles that can steer, park and avoid collisions, but these are in their premium models and no fully autonomous are available or allowed by law – yet. In Europe, 21% of respondents believe companies will adopt the use of microchip implants on their employees, while 45% in South Africa see this happening over the next 10 years. Almost two thirds (62%) of businesses say remote working is – or will be – the norm for their employees, while three quarters (74%) of South African leaders agreed with this sentiment. A discrepancy between SMEs and large corporates currently allowing employees to work remotely was also identified, with 52% of small to medium sized companies offering this, compared to 66 per cent of large corporates. While businesses see technological innovation picking up momentum in the medium term, leaders fear that their companies will struggle to keep pace. The research found that more than half (55%) of businesses believe those who fail to embrace digitised processes and the Internet of Things (IoT) are at a higher risk of going out of business. This varies significantly from country to country, with 81% of Spanish leaders and 79% of Polish managers feeling that they risk failure if they don’t adapt, while less than half (49%) of UK leaders agree. In South Africa, 70% of business managers believe this to be true. “These trends highlight a possible gap between access to and investment in connected technology,” Manson says. “Every business is different and each one needs to conduct its own thorough research on the role that technology can play in future-proofing its operation, deliver greater efficiencies and create more employee satisfaction.” Previous articleBeating the costs with natural gas Next articleProposed new automotive Code of Conduct will be catastrophic for Motor Industry Putco and Netstar data partnership helps keep roads safe Serco to Box Clever to Achieve Growth in 2020 14-seater Hiace re-introduced due to popular demand First eCanter from Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC) recently celebrated the start of production of the world’s first all-electric light-duty truck – the Fuso eCanter....

__label__wiki	0.805787	0.805787	Home Film Film Reviews Wall Street Sequel: Gekko Insurance Wall Street Sequel: Gekko Insurance A money man returns (our investment) after 23 years. Here’s an example of overthinking. Oliver Stone’s sequel to his 1987 hit Wall Street is entitled Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. The subtitle refers to a line by Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) in the original, which the sequel expands into a speech comparing money to a fickle, emotionally unstable woman who’ll leave if she’s not paid enough attention. That speech isn’t out of character, but that doesn’t make the metaphor any less tinny or the title sound less dopey. The powers that be should have gone the more conventional route and subtitled this movie Gordon Gekko Returns or The Revenge of Gordon Gekko. I would’ve paid to see that. That’s a testament to the staying power of the Mammonite figure who infamously told us how good greed was. His words captured the ravenous spirit of the flush economic times that produced him. Now that times have gotten tough, it’s good to turn loose a much older and chastened version of him in a recession. The result doesn’t tap into the zeitgeist the way the original film did, but it’s decent entertainment value all the same. The sequel begins in the early months of 2008, with working-class Long Island product Jake Moore (Shia LaBeouf) employed as an energy analyst for an investment bank, looking to fund the eco-friendly alternative fuel that’ll power the future. When a corporate raid by rival banker Bretton James (Josh Brolin) sinks Jake’s firm and drives his beloved mentor (Frank Langella) to suicide, Jake strikes back with a whisper campaign that causes a stock spiral, inflicting a nine-figure loss on Bretton. This piece of vengeance actually impresses Bretton, who offers Jake a job at his own firm with more power, more perks, and more peril. The film usefully reminds us that LaBeouf is a rather good actor, a fact that you may have forgotten between Transformers movies. Jake is full of contradictions, a guy who wants to save the world but also wants to make billions doing it, and a methodically vindictive operator who’s also capable of great tenderness. (One of the movie’s most affecting moments is early on, when Jake’s happiness at his mentor’s recognition moves him to kiss the old man’s bald head.) With his steely intelligence and determination peeking out from behind his prepubescent features, LaBeouf embodies all these different strains and makes it look easy. The actor’s skinny frame can work against him in a setting like this, but when Jake threatens superwealthy people with financial ruin, you believe he’s smart and ruthless enough to make it happen. It’s too bad that this characterization is undercut by the other plot, in which Jake seeks out Gordon’s advice about dealing with Bretton. After a prison stint, the former Wall Street king is now a private citizen railing against the evils of leveraged debt (in a published memoir entitled Is Greed Good? — hee!) before the ensuing financial meltdown makes him look like a genius. Gordon also happens to be the estranged father of Winnie (Carey Mulligan), Jake’s lefty news blogger fiancée. In exchange for his counsel, all Gordon asks of Jake is a reconciliation with his daughter. Of course, no deal with Gordon is that simple, and as sharp as Jake is, it’s hard to believe that he’d be roped in by a scheme of Gordon’s that’s more transparently crooked than a Nigerian prince’s e-mail. In typical Oliver Stone fashion, the Gekko family drama is dealt with in patches of bad writing, preachiness, and cheap sentiment; the tearful scene between Gordon and Winnie over her dead brother is a low point. The women are largely sidelined, and Mulligan does little except make wounded faces and work on her (pretty good by now) American accent. As for the director’s metaphors, there are symbolic shots of soap bubbles and falling dominoes. You’ve been warned. As with the original, Stone immerses us in the environment by tossing all sorts of financial jargon at us without caring whether we keep up. This respect for the audience’s intelligence is gratifying, as is the expensively appointed supporting cast. The director throws us a bone by arranging a reunion between Gordon and former protégé Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen), but the real red meat comes from Eli Wallach as the founding partner of Bretton’s firm, a guy old enough to remember the Great Depression yet fierce enough to smack down an underling who steps out of line. With a scene-stealing habit of punctuating his dialogue with emphatic whistles, the 94-year-old Wallach proves he can still bring serious heat. While Douglas did better in a similar role in the recent Solitary Man, his late-career assurance is good to have on hand. He doesn’t coast in portraying a more introspective financier who doesn’t pity himself in the face of tragedy and hasn’t gone soft but who also doesn’t mind gaming people by giving off the impression that he might have. Age, disgrace, and the loss of his fortune bring Gordon Gekko down to our level, and in the way that he scrapes by, we can see that the old trickster is like the rest of us.

__label__cc	0.508436	0.491564	Finland leads the way for business angel networks Industry › Finance FiBAN along with other Nordic angel investment networks launch NordicBAN at Slush 2015. FiBAN FiBAN (Finnish Business Angels Network) has been making waves in European angel investing for some time now and has given rise to the creation of NordicBAN (Nordic Business Angels Network). Established in 2010, FiBAN is Europe’s largest angel network and has been twice recognised as its best by the European Business Angels Network. The company provides education, training and networking to angel investors interested in startups. It is also the national lobbying authority for angel investing in Finland. The idea behind NordicBAN was devised in order to develop a one-market region in the Nordic and Baltic countries to allow for cross border investment. Claes Mikko Nilsen, network manager for FiBAN, describes NordicBAN as being “a network of networks”. NordicBAN connects angel networks from around the Nordic region and allows them to network with each other. This opens doors for both investors and startups, and allows more variety among where investments are made and who is making them. A strong startup culture plays an important role in turning around the fortunes of the current economic climate. Receiving funding to grow is essential. “We don’t have a choice, we really have to have new innovations to be able to establish new jobs,” Nilsen points out. Matchmaking events that connect its investors with startup companies are organised by FiBAN. Nilsen explains that this is because it takes a certain investor and a certain startup to work together: “The connection between angel investors and startups is very personal”. Risky business? Claes Mikko Nilsen (left), Helleke Heikkinen and Jan D. Oker-Blom of FiBAN. Ruairi O'Hehir Angel investing might seem risky to some, as around 50 per cent of startups fail, but FiBAN recommends to its network that they should have several small investments. Because of this angel investors must work together and share the benefits of their investments. “It’s a channel of investment that is better than what most countries have because it’s national,” says Jan D. Oker-Blom, managing director of FiBAN, adding, “you get a better deal flow that is relevant as you get to look at many companies.” It’s not easy for a startup to receive capital in its early stages and angel funding is not an exception to this. Just 34 per cent of pitching startups receive an investment from FiBAN networkers. But Oker–Blom explains that Finland is a good place to do business: “It’s a relatively safe place to invest in. We are happy to have foreign investors investing in Finland.” Diversity makes the difference When it comes to angel investing, variety is not only the spice of life, it is essential to achieving success. “We are eager to have foreign investors; in a way you could say they have a small advantage,” Oker–Blom explains. “If you get an option to have a foreign investor on board with your startup, you are perhaps more interested in taking him/her as it is a different point of view and it’s also opening some doors for internationalisation”. It takes time to get to know investors and investors to get to know the team behind the startup, Nilsen explains. A process of setting goals and being able to achieve them is more important to investors than the product being provided. He recommends to startups that they should have an excellent team that can deliver, as this is what angel investors will be looking for. Investors will evaluate the startups for a period of time before an investment is made and it is essential that the companies deliver on any promises that are made in that time. “Startups must build trust with investors before an investment is made,” Nilsen explains.

__label__cc	0.581619	0.418381	Income supplement: analysis of options Social Security Directorate Children and families, Communities and third sector, Equality and rights Analysis undertaken to inform the development of the income supplement policy, a flagship commitment in our Tackling Child Poverty Delivery Plan for 2018-2022. 4. Policy Objectives and Options 2. Child Poverty in Context 3. Social Security for Families with Children 5. Modelling of Policy Options 6. Additional Assessment of Options Annex I: Universal Credit Annex II: Stakeholder Workshops Annex III: The Policy Simulation Model Annex IV: Modelling Assumptions This section provides evidence that underpins the rationale for introducing the income supplement policy and sets out our approach to developing options. Developing a clear rationale for intervention and a set of objectives before creating and analysing policy options is imperative for robust and evidence-led decision-making and is in line with the approach recommended by the HM Treasury's Green Book guidance.[18] 4.1 Rationale for Intervention Improving children's outcomes As identified by the TCPDP, there is a strong rationale for intervention on child poverty in terms of improving children's outcomes. Children in low income households tend to experience a range of disadvantages including lower educational attainment and poorer health which will shape their future life. Poverty can have lasting impacts long into adulthood such as increased risk of homelessness, lower earning potential and greater likelihood of limiting illness. It is difficult to disentangle the effect of poverty from other factors associated with low income that may affect children's outcomes. However, the growing evidence in developed economies suggests that gaining additional income has causal effects on health, behaviour, educational attainment and other outcomes for children in households at the lower end of the income distribution.[19] These studies isolate the effect of income changes from household characteristics and other factors that may affect children's outcomes.[20] Box 6 discusses evidence of how a means-tested in-work benefit has affected children outcomes in the United States. Box 6: Earned Income Tax Credits and children outcomes A number of studies examine the effect of increased level of support provided by Earned Income Tax Credits (EITC) – a US means-tested in-work benefit. These studies find significant effects from EITC expansions on a range of child outcomes. For example, one recent study found that EITC expansion reduces incidence of low birth weights.[21] Another study found that increasing EITC has raised math and reading test scores.[22] Similarly a further study suggests that this policy change has generated improvements in subjective well-being of mothers which is an important indirect determinant of child outcomes.[23] While there is evidence that additional income can create better outcomes, the evidence base is still being developed in this area, for example around the strength of the relationship. Although, the effects of income changes on outcomes are found to be larger for children growing up in poorer households, there is no clear cut-off point in terms of income beyond which further increases stop affecting outcomes of children. Finally, further evidence is being developed around whether income increases are likely to have stronger effects at particular stages of childhood. Whilst the picture is mixed, there is evidence of positive impacts on cognitive outcomes in the early years.[24] Economic cost of child poverty The detrimental impacts of poverty on outcomes for children can also be viewed through a lens of the resulting increased economic costs associated with increased spending on various public services. Many children will grow up in poverty but still achieve good long term outcomes. For others, the structural disadvantages surrounding growing up in poverty may result in children turning to paths that are damaging both to them as individuals and to wider society. For example, evidence suggests that growing up in poverty may prevent individuals from realising their potential and fully participating in economic activity later in their life. Low income may limit opportunities for children to participate in school activities which may prevent them from accumulating soft and technical skills that could be useful later in their working life.[25] Growing up in poverty can also have an impact on children's health. Evidence shows that children growing up in poverty tend to have poorer health outcomes which could again prevent the accumulation of skills through diverse experiences. As a result, children who grew up in poverty often tend to end up in lower paid employment and miss opportunities to accumulate different skills through diverse experiences. The economic consequences of child poverty therefore manifest themselves through lower skills and decreased productivity. Finally, investing in services to help alleviate the actual or potential undesirable outcomes or to promote better opportunities can increase spending on various public services. The key areas of additional public spending are discussed in Box 7. Box 7: Additional public spending associated with child poverty Social Services A large share of spending on social services is attributed to child poverty. This reflects the targeted nature of these services: children who grow up in poverty tend to face specific problems. The focus of these services is to improve outcomes for children.[26] Education Children growing up in low income households tend to do less well in school. This effect gets stronger the longer children spend in poverty.[27] These children may require additional support from school staff and schools in deprived areas tend to have higher spend per pupil.[28] Poor performance in school, however, may also be related to parental education and lack of environment where education aspirations can develop. Both factors are correlated with low income and poverty. Health Children who are born in poor households are more likely to experience health issues from birth. They are also more likely to be exposed to specific health issues later in life which may stem from inherited and accrued health risks when living in poverty. This does not only concern physical heath since children growing up in poverty are also more likely to have poor mental health later in life.[29] Crime There is a strong association between living in poverty and rates of offending and anti-social behaviour.[30] The costs of crime and anti-social behaviour to society mainly occur through the youth justice system as a result of early offending and higher likelihood of re-offending in later life.[31] 4.2 Policy Objectives Setting clear and measurable policy objectives is imperative for the development and assessment of appropriate options. The income supplement policy will ensure that social security provides a substantial role in helping achieve a tangible reduction in child poverty, while at the same time recognising that it cannot be the only solution. Therefore, the main objective for the income supplement has been set to: Achieve a reduction in child poverty (relative, AHC) of 3 percentage points when the income supplement is fully rolled out. The second objective has been set so that the income supplement supports people in the lower deciles of the income distribution. As such, the second objective of the income supplement is to: Reduce the depth of poverty and provide support to those who need it most. Social security is the most immediate route to boost family incomes, however, the TCPDP recognises that it should not be the only way to tackle child poverty. To improve prospects for children and families it is vital that people are able to easily access the wider services and support that is available. The income supplement should "passport" people to this support, for example through fast tracked access to a financial health check, or employment advice, should people want and require it. Therefore, a longer term objective of the income supplement is to: Ensure a sustainable and lasting reduction in poverty for families with children. An assessment of this objective does not form part of this analytical report but this, and how the income supplement interacts with wider public services in Scotland, will be considered as part of the implementation and design of the new benefit. 4.3 Option Generation The first stage in the process of generating options for the income supplement involved considering the policy objectives as set out in the previous sections. Legislative considerations have also been taken into account. The Scotland Act 2016[32] provided the power for the Scottish Parliament to: (a) Create new benefits (Section 28): Provides competence to the Scottish Parliament to create new benefits in any area of devolved competence. (b) Top-up reserved benefits (Section 24): Provides competence for the Scottish Parliament to create top-up payments to people who are entitled to a reserved benefit and appear to require additional financial assistance for the purpose, or one of the purposes, for which the reserved benefit is provided (e.g. child benefit could not be topped-up to provide support for someone out of work, only for child related costs). Different aspects of policy solutions were systematically considered to help ensure that a potentially viable policy option was not missed out. We have therefore followed a three step approach as presented in Box 8 below. Box 8: Options building blocks What is the target population? 1. All (or most) children 2. Children in low income families (as defined by the existing benefit system) 3. Children in low income families (as defined by the income supplement policy) 4. Children in low income families – targeted groups How would the income supplement be paid? 1. A new benefit based on qualifying benefits and/or a means test 2. A top-up of an existing reserved benefit How would the target population be identified? 1. Automatic /passported entitlement 2. Application process The first two policy objectives set out that the income supplement should achieve a 3 percentage point reduction in relative child poverty when it is fully rolled out and that it is also paid to families with children who need it most. Guided by these, we have considered options that would try to capture all or nearly all children in poverty and options that target children in poverty more specifically. We have also considered options that are targeted at children in specific family groups who are found to be most at risk of poverty, such as families with young children, lone parents, large families, or families with a disabled adult or child. We have considered options that target both out of work and working families and have excluded options that target working families only. In designing the options, we were driven by pragmatism and have focussed on simplicity, which is key to good benefit design. The five options we arrived at were as follows: 1. An income supplement that would reach most children in Scotland, with Child Benefit as a qualifying benefit. 2. An income supplement that would reach children in low income households via an additional payment to families receiving Universal Credit (UC). 3. An income supplement targeted at specific family groups, for example large families. This could be based on UC eligibility with higher payments for households with certain characteristics who are identified as being most at risk of poverty. 4. An income supplement targeted at children in low income families could also be introduced by creating a new benefit that is not linked to the existing benefit system and instead uses a bespoke means test. 5. An income supplement targeted at low income families as defined by the Council Tax Reduction (CTR) scheme. Table 4 below sets out how the payments could be made to reach different population targets. Table 4: Options for the income supplement Policy Option Delivery mechanism 1. Child Benefit based entitlement Most children – near universal 2. Universal Credit based entitlement Children in low income families – as defined by benefit system 3. Universal Credit based entitlement – targeted groups Children in low income families – as defined by benefit system, plus poverty risk factors 4. Entitlement based on a means test Children in low income families – as defined by policy 5. Council Tax Reduction based entitlement A final key stage in the options generation was to test the developed options with key stakeholders, following the commitment in the TCPDP to work with stakeholders to develop options. Therefore two workshops were held with representatives from local government, academia, think tanks, third sector and anti-poverty organisations.

It is based on quarterly data collected by the Scottish Government from Local and Planning Authorities as part of the Planning Performance Framework (introduced in 2012). Longer term trends are also presented where data for earlier years is available in a comparable format. Annual Trends (excludes legacy cases and processing agreements) Chart 1: Applications for Local Developments: Number of decisions Chart 2: Applications for Local Developments: Average decision time (weeks) Chart 3: Applications for Major Developments: Number of decisions Chart 4: Applications for Major Developments: Average decision time (weeks) Key Findings for the year 2016/17: [1] Reduction in planning applications decided in 2016/17 compared with previous four years. The number of Local Development [2] decisions in 2016/17 totalled 26,986, a decrease of 6% (1,778 applications) from the previous year. This drop was largely due to fewer decisions for housing, electricity generation, householder, business & industry and other developments. The number of Major Development [3] decisions in 2016/17 totalled 246, a decrease of 8% (22 applications) from 2015/16. There were decreases across all categories of development apart from those for housing and business & industry. The overall average decision time for Local Developments is the quickest annual figure since the start of this data collection in 2012/13. Local Development decisions were quicker by an average of 4 days per application compared with 2015/16 (9.2 weeks in 2016/17 compared with 9.7 weeks in 2015/16) and were the quickest since the start of this data collection in 2012/13. Improvements were seen in average decision times for most categories of Local Developments apart from electricity generation, AMSCs [4] , waste management and telecommunications. In particular, the average decision time for local housing developments was 12.7 weeks for 2016/17, one week quicker than the previous year (13.7 weeks). A total of 22 out of 34 planning authorities have reported improvements in their average decision times for Local Developments in 2016/17 compared to 2015/16. The overall average decision time for Major Developments is the slowest annual figure since the start of this data collection in 2012/13. Major Development decisions were slower by an average of 6 weeks per application compared with 2015/16 (37.0 weeks in 2016/17 compared with 31.0 weeks in 2015/16) and were the slowest since the start of this data collection in 2012/13. Average figures based on a relatively small number of Major Development applications can be skewed by a few lengthy decisions. Almost 69% of Major applications in 2016/17 were decided in a time quicker than the average of 37.0 weeks. Decisions for most categories of Major Developments were slower apart from minerals and waste management applications. In particular, the average decision time for major housing developments was 44.9 weeks for 2016/17, more than four weeks slower than the previous year (40.6 weeks). Quarterly Trends (excludes legacy cases and processing agreements) Key Findings for Quarter 4 of 2016/17: [5] The overall average decision time for Local Developments was quicker in quarter 4 of 2016/17 when compared with the previous quarter, and was quicker than the equivalent quarter four figures in each of the previous four years. For quarter 4 of 2016/17, the average decision time for Local Developments was 9.3 weeks. This is almost two days quicker than the previous quarter (9.5 weeks), and one week quicker than the equivalent quarter in 2015/16 (10.3 weeks). Local housing applications were decided in an average of 12.8 weeks, the same as the previous quarter (12.8 weeks), but quicker by almost thirteen days than the equivalent quarter in the previous year (14.6 weeks). The overall average decision time for Major Developments in quarter 4 of 2016/17 was quicker than the previous quarter but slower than quarter 4 in the previous year. For quarter 4 of 2016/17, the average decision time for Major Developments was 32.6 weeks, more than one week quicker than the previous quarter (33.9 weeks), but more than 5 weeks slower than the equivalent quarter in 2015/16 (27.2 weeks). Major housing applications were decided in an average of 45.6 weeks, six and a half weeks slower than in the previous quarter (39.1 weeks), and twelve and a half weeks slower than in the equivalent quarter in the previous year (33.1 weeks). These figures exclude pre 3rd August 2009 legacy cases; please see sections 3 to 7 for data on applications that include legacy cases. They also exclude applications subject to processing agreements; please see section 2 for further information on these.

Eleven teams competed, with over 80 doctors dusting down their boots and braving the heat. The tournament consisted of a group phase with teams progressing after that to either the WA Doctor Soccer Cup or the St John of God Murdoch Hospital Plate. The day was played out in good spirit with great determination and effort by all players. A new team for this years event, RFDS Western Operations, got off to a flying start taking maximum points from their three group games. The team, skippered by Andrew Toner, looked like they were going to parachute in and take off with the cup until agonisingly losing out on penalties to Jupiter. Rapid Thigh Movement looked strong early on, topping their group, but the celtic contingent of this team may have found the heat too draining as they succumbed at the quarter-final stage. A winter event may be necessary if this team is ever going to take home some silverware. There was something for them to cheer about as speedster Dan “Michael” Johnson won the Fastest Doc in WA sprint sponsored by Coastal Orthopaedics. Aesthetica Madrid, led by David Colbert, also topped their group with some delightful possession football with eventual golden boot winner Dr Robert Tewskbury providing the finishing touches in front of goal. As would be expected of a team with plastic surgeons, their play was pleasing on the eye but they were able to graft out results too. Despite an impressive draw in the group stages against the eventual winners, RPH Vascular Angels didn’t make it through to the cup but weren’t too disheartened and were deserved winners of the St John of God Murdoch Hospital Plate after a well-fought 2-1 victory against SKG in the final. Although on the pitch, things didn’t go as planned for St John’s Wort, a team of GPs and surgeons, off the pitch they showed no sign of needing that herb to lift their spirits as they embraced the occasion. Healius Hotspur coached by Bud “Poch” Ranasinghe will take solace from their group phase draw with Jupiter and they did well to progress from a tough group consisting of the two eventual Cup finalists and the plate winners. The Invincibles, captained by Ayo Olowookere returned this year and despite starting slowly with a loss, they rallied well before missing out in a physical contest against RFDS in the cup quarter-final. Their level of effort and commitment was admirable and if they can improve on their play in the final third,they could be a match for anybody. Perth Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine (POSM) were major sponsors and a surprise package at this years event, clocking up three clean sheets and taking their chances before losing out to Aesthetica in the semifinal. Unfortunately, the spectacle of an Orthopaedic derby between POSM and Peter D’Alessandro’s Coastal Orthopaedics wasn’t to be this year. Both teams have a good mix of youth and experience which would suggest they have longevity in this competition and it will be only a matter of time before they play each other. After winning the plate last year and getting to the quarter-finals this year, Coastal’s form in this competition is on an upward trajectory. If the odd orthopaedic fellow from Spain or Brazil is seen around Fremantle or Fiona Stanley Hospital in the next 12 months, you wouldn’t bet against them progressing further again next year. One of the most dramatic games had to be the semifinal clash between RFDS and Jupiter. With nothing between the teams in open play, it was down to a sudden death penalty shootout to settle it. Michael Gendy’s Jupiter team wasn’t to be denied with close to 30 penalties taken between the teams, a broken goal net and some top class finishes and saves before they progressed to the final. Thankfully we weren’t short on ammunition for the penalty shootout, thanks to Perth Urology Clinic’s sponsorship of footballs. The final was a very close contest with Aesthetica Madrid keeping the ball well but unable to find gaps in an organised Jupiter defence. Although we are still looking for the ball that Dr Marc Corbett attempted an audacious bicycle kick with, he made amends a few minutes later with a composed finish. Jupiter defended well after that limiting Aesthetica to half chances and seeing the game out to deservedly claim the title for the second year running. With all these games and the sprint race, it was left to Lifecare’s Tim Barnwell, Nic Ward and Liam Kessell to pick up the pieces, helping out with a few tender hamstrings and the effects of the heat. We are pleased to report that no-one succumbed to heat exhaustion, thanks to the SKG sponsored hydration Eskies, and coffee and salty snacks from Accumulate Wealth Management to give perspiring players a pick-me-up between games. Our referees, Chris Grieve, John Walsh and Nick Hudson did their sponsors MDA National proud, keeping doctors from stepping over the line. Good communication skills and the odd two-minute trip to the sin bin made sure nobody would be facing a tribunal after. Overall there was great sportsmanship exhibited by all teams on the day. A special mention to Perth Children’s Hospital’s Vaanitha Manickavasagar, our sole female competitor on the day. We hope to see Vaanitha back for the 3rd year in a row next year. Thanks to the great response from our teams, and generous support from sponsors, we have been able to donate all team entry fees ($1500) to Disability Sports Australia, a charity committed to helping people with physical disabilities to engage with the community through sports participation. See you all next year. The GPHQ Team Recruiter Registration Event Organiser Registration GPwSI Directory Submission Form Advertise a GP position on GPHQ Copyright GPHQ © 2020.

But with EU-funded project SHERPA, coordinated by the UIC, key players in the railway sector are coming together to focus on the various actions that will help railways cope better with present and future threats. Marie-Hélène Bonneau, Head of the UIC Security Division and is Coordinator of the SHERPA project explains more. Terrorist attacks carried out in the latest years show an alarming increase of indiscriminate violent actions carried out against civilians gathering in public spaces. Railway transport represents a critical infrastructure for any European country and stations and trains can be regarded as ‘soft’ targets due to their nature of inherently open systems. Several initiatives aiming at increasing the protection from terrorist attacks were undertaken in the past years at various levels, nevertheless the knowledge about the phenomenon itself and possible counter-measures is still quite fragmented and presents many gaps. Therefore, SHERPA which stands for Shared and coHerent European Railway Protection Approach is an EU project aimed at addressing railway security issues in the most complete and comprehensive manner by stock-taking and putting together of the most up-to-date knowledge and best practices drawn from the latest attacks and lessons learnt. It is addressing each of the key security areas that make up an integrated and complete approach to railway security. The project is addressed to a wide group of railway personnel both at management (to help to define and put in place coherent and effective security strategies and policies) and operational level (to better train and support those on the ground (practitioners) who are in charge of protecting and making railway users to feel secure and safe on a daily basis).

__label__cc	0.715986	0.284014	Israeli security firm claims to have hacked ISIS forum, discloses future targets 11:51 pm, August 4, 2016 An Israeli security company has claimed it hacked an ISIS forum and disclosed where members of the terrorist organization might be planning future attacks. Intsights, a firm based in Israel that specializes in digital intelligence services, told Israeli TV station Channel 10 that it located a forum on the dark web. It was hosted through Telegram, which provides a layer of security for users who post messages. As Alon Arvatz, co-founder of Intsights, told the media: “Telegram is completely encrypted and there’s no fear that someone will intercept the messages and understand what you wrote.” The Israeli company went on to report that the forum contained a list of past attacks carried out by ISIS, including one instance where two ISIS members used knives to kill an 85-year-old Catholic priest in a church in northern France. The forum is also said to have included a world map highlighting future attacks against military bases operated by the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and other Western European nations. It also listed Israeli air force bases as upcoming targets. Arvatz and the other founders of Intsights have not disclosed how they hacked into the ISIS forum. However, the Herzliya-based company is primarily run by former members of the Israel Defense Forces’ (IDF) intelligence division, which means they probably had the skills and/or contacts to gain access to the dark web terrorist hub. But that begs the question: should they have hacked the forum in the first place? Security companies that take matters into their own hands don’t just risk contaminating evidence that might prove useful to law enforcement, they may potentially drive groups like ISIS further underground where it may be harder for intelligence agencies to spy upon their activities. Some may argue that the security companies are also politicizing themselves and could, by extension, alienate users who might not agree with their position. Then again, that might not be it at all. Perhaps someone at the IDF asked Intsights to hack the forum, or maybe it was a public-private takedown of ISIS forums. In that case, shouldn’t the Israeli government take the lead on disclosing (or keeping secret) the hack lest Intsights inadvertently jeopardize an important piece of national security? These are the questions many security firms – and researchers more generally – confront on a day-to-day basis. What are your thoughts? Were Intsights right to hack the forum and then share details with the media? Let us know in the comments. #ISIS You’re right to be skeptical over Sunday Times Snowden story Telegram lets scammers connect directly with potential victims by way of stored contacts Zero-day exploit in Apple’s iOS operating system “sold for $500,000” 10 Replies to “Israeli security firm claims to have hacked ISIS forum, discloses future targets” The Grocer says: 100 correct in gaining the information but should have passed to world governments NOT openly publicised the fact Shawn Owens says: The 'dancing israelis' are at it again lol Antisemite Killer says: Oh look, we found the mentally ill antisemite. Quick, somebody step on it and put it out of its misery. Oh look, we found the racist. Someone step on it quick. WIthout a doubt they should have kept the fact that they hacked ISIS prvt like the British kept the fact they had cracked the German code in WWII private. ere is why ISIS will certainly fail http://me.richtrek.com/2014/08/isis-ego-poison-and-destruction-is.html though they've hung on longer than I thought It may be that this is a way of showing good professional skills – on a tech level I mean – that Intsights was somehow able to 1) either hack into Telegram (though I doubt that) or 2) to hack into / get a man-in-the-middle-position on some end-user computers run by ISIS (the more likely option IMHO). But being technically capable, and showing off about it in public (are they so desperately in need of paying customers = money perhaps?) … that is just plain stupid. And out of the window (!) goes any advantage to counter the terrorists of this world. Stupid, plain stupid. As Rich correctly stated, when the Brits cracked the Enigma code, would it have been wise to start bragging about it – thereby giving away any tactical advantage? Any 10 year old understands that. Intsights does not, which tells you… well, exactly what about the friends at Intsights? Reconsider your use of "begs the question". drdos1943 says: There's got to be more to it. Publicly announcing it??? The Israelis are not that stupid. adad says: "The Israelis are not that stupid" no they are not but that doesn't mean some stupid company did this for publicity Randall Morris says: I think this is most missleading – ISIS is smarter than to attach military targets. Such a security lead is most likely a rabbit trail to lead away from the truth and to make Americans feel secure. Why would anyone with any smarts attack the bees when you can just take the honey. Schools, Theators, etc – anyplace where people are congregated and defenseless is the most likely place of terrorist attack and the honey of their business. And the more disarmed and defenseless the better for them. All the better have the government get them to disarm before planning any terror attack. I think the government is culpable to the crime of terror when they call for disarmament in the face of terrorist attacks.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0097.json.gz/line1420097

__label__wiki	0.581311	0.581311	Two Guys Barry Guy & Ken Vandermark – Occasional Poems (Not Two Records, 2015) ** In November 2008, Ken Vandermark (reeds), Barry Guy (double bass) and Mark Sanders (drums) undertook a short tour of England. Two of the gigs, from Birmingham and Leeds, appeared on Fox Fire (Maya Recordings, 2009), one of Vandermark’s most impressive recordings where he rises to the challenge of playing with Guy and the new areas into which this pushed him. Guy and Vandermark played again six years later in November 2014 at the Alchemia Club in Kraków during the ninth Autumn Jazz Festival, their first time as a duo. Guy was at the end of a week-long residency with his Blue Shroud band and Vandermark (who has a work ethic that puts the rest of us to shame) had agreed to the date at the end of over two months on the road, exhausted and travelling to the sound check direct from the airport. And yet, as is often the case with impromptu meetings in trying circumstances, as Vandermark says, “something special happened”. On this album, we have nine of the pieces they performed over two sets. The titles have been provided by Guy, inspired by the poet Robert Lax, whose poems have distinctive layouts and make use of the repetition and permutation of a small body of words. According to Guy, “his singular focus on the world around his chosen space is indicative of the way improvisers work – gathering, analysing, inventing and trading ideas in the moments that we are allowed to express our art.” A fair general description of much of what’s going on with he and Vandermark, but works of abstract theatre that takes place in a rarefied realm, the nuances of which have no precise descriptive equivalent. With Guy, one gets not just the standard dimensions – the melodic (horizontal) and chordal (vertical) – but the opening up of a third dimension in which shapes move and merge in a continual state of flux. The brilliant intensity of his playing has been likened to the flow of molten lava, the kind of thing that prompted Cecil Taylor to observe, “If I played bass I'd play the way you play”. Guy’s distinctive style is generated from the sonorities of his instrument and idiosyncratic actions (plucked, bowed, scraped, sometimes all three together) and the various treatments and devices he uses, resulting in a very personal vocabulary. But it’s also a language so rich – a sound world that has an almost visible texture, full of ridges, offshoots, nooks and crannies – that other musicians can’t fail but to be inspired. It probably helps not to think too much, and simply respond on a visceral level: exactly the condition of the weary Vandermark. Throughout, one feels the thrill of their having absolutely no idea where they’re going to end up. At the most general level, these duos explore convergences and conflicts between two voices: communicative and non-communicative, sympathetic and contrasting. Right from the bell, they both go for it. ‘Nature is a Wolf’ is dominated by Guy’s repeated sliding chord, like an incessant cry, and Vandermark’s gnarled, hyper-compressed line. As the titles suggest ‘Light cuts Shadow’ and the ensuing ‘Shadow cuts Light’ can be seen as plays on positive and negative space, contrasting sides of the same thing. In the first, both instruments match each other in mood and texture as if mirroring different aspects of the same material: long, high notes, slithered bowing against rapid scales and leaps on the clarinet, ostinato figures locking them together, even a brief folksy episode. In the second piece the complimentary contrasts are this time in register, long resonant notes on the bass clarinet against dense spicatto and pizzicato on the bass. Roles are then reversed when Vandermark switches to the top end of his range and Guy descends to the lower. The remainder of the piece alternates between these two areas, with contrasting levels of energy. ‘I will Sing to You of The Moments’ is an exercise in perpetual motion, repeated patterns never quite symmetric, moving in and out of alignment and becoming more elaborate as the piece progresses. There are times however, when Guy and Vandermark seem engaged in two distinct trains of thought, juxtaposed rather than in dialogue. On ‘States of Being’ which opens the second set, they start in the same place but rapidly move in different directions, wrapped in the virtuosic expansion of their own material, side by side, eventually acknowledging the presence of the other and returning to common ground, and finishing with a unison flourish. Not only do relations change, so do characters and locations. Vandermark can move at will between different provinces in the landscape of free jazz, reflecting his wide-ranging interests, musical and otherwise. This means he doesn’t have a style so much as a series of self-imposed personae. He experiments, not with inclusiveness – trying to cover as much ground as possible – but by moderation, narrowing the range of ideas, colours and textures for each improvisation, the better to explore his chosen region, adjusting focus as he moves from one piece to the next. Vandermark is aware of the importance of boundaries. On ‘Pan Metron Ariston [Every Good Thing In Measure]’ (an old Greek saying) for tenor alone, he limits himself to a blues tune as the basis for a study in split notes, distortion and overtones, contrasted with staccato tonguing and key clatter, sounding a little like a combination of Mats Gustafsson and Peter Brötzmann, (with whom he’s played in the trio Sonore). In “Riding the Air’ there’s a continuous line of smeared gestures and phrases on bass clarinet, mainly in the lower registers, as if in mimicry of Guy’s bass which responds in like kind, resulting in mutual imitations. Broken off by Guy’s change of pace and a solemn plucked tune, Vandermark moves back providing gentle sustained notes in accompaniment as Guy’s melody and subtle harmonics sing with ever greater eloquence. ‘Black, White, Red, Blue’ is a bass solo, beginning with a simple succession of plucked glissandi notes which alternate with passages employing an ever increasing range of techniques and devices, below the bridge up to bouncing sticks threaded through the strings. Each time the glissandi notes return they become a richer melody, and as the two textural areas switch their opposition increases, perhaps reflected in the title – pairings of tonal opposites and complimentary colours. The encore is ‘Curving of the Wave’, a series of quick-fire bursts and exchanges between tenor and bass suggesting that both players had been reinvigorated by their meeting. The Living Room + Barry Guy – Live at Literathaus (Ilk, 2015) As well as playing in long standing groups and with seasoned musicians, Barry Guy likes to take chances with new ensembles and younger players. Multitude (Cave12, 2010) recorded with Diatribe, a duo of laptop and drums, is a good example, as is this album recorded at Literathaus in Copenhagen in December, 2012 with The Living Room: Torben Snekkestad (saxophones & reed-trumpet), Søren Kjærgaard (piano & keyboards), Thomas Strønen (drums). There’s nothing to suggest the trio were overwhelmed by Guy’s presence (he and Snekkestad had previously recorded Slip Slide and Collide) and Guy is a consummate ensemble musician – unsurprising given his work with everyone from Derek Bailey (subsequently, Philipp Wachsmann) and Paul Rutherford in Iskra 1903, which set new standards in group listening, to the Academy of Ancient Music, one of the pioneering orchestras devoted to period instruments and ‘historically informed’ performance. These three improvisations can be likened to a whirling constellation – forming, dissolving and reforming – so that no element remains fixed. They’re packed with incident and contrast, frequently eschewing the navigable in favour of multiplicity. ‘Part #1’ brims with activity, simultaneous and overlapping, sometimes focused other times divergent, switching from the bold and assured to gossamer delicacy like a succession of jump cuts. ‘Part #2’ is more restrained: hammered strings on the piano and bass, light percussion and Snekkestad on reed-trumpet (a trumpet with a saxophone reed, having a limited range of notes and distinctive timbre). He plays low burrs over Guy’s glassy bowings and glacial chords on piano. There’s a gentle duet between saxophone and pizzicato bass which becomes more urgent when joined by rapid runs on the piano, increasing in intensity until Snekkestad’s tensile line hangs over a blur of piano, bass and drums. The piece ends with the ripple effect of descending figures and a gradual decay into silence. ‘Part # 3’ opens with Snekkestad’s soprano saxophone cutting through a tangled rain forest of percussive sound. The texture thins out to soft pluckings and scrapings and then builds up again over a web of bass and drums before dying out with light repeated phrases on piano and synthesiser. A piece of ebb and flow. Both albums are demanding, requiring careful scrutiny and the re-evaluation of expectations. It’s not that they’re cutting-edge (a questionable desideratum) but they involve a complexity of thought and shifting relations which need to be grasped in order to appreciate the movement and balance between the constituent parts, a sign of the depth and capacity for renewal the musical language provides. Words still have some catching up to do, but descriptions will always fall short.

__label__wiki	0.936147	0.936147	Updated on : Monday, January 13, 2020, 9:41 PM IST Columbus’ cannibal claims on Caribbean may be true Washington: Scientists have found new evidence supporting Italian explorer Christopher Columbus’ accounts of the Caribbean that include harrowing descriptions of fierce raiders who abducted women and cannibalised men. Using the equivalent of facial recognition technology, the researchers from Florida Museum of Natural History in the US analysed the skulls of early Caribbean inhabitants, uncovering relationships between groups and upending longstanding hypotheses about how the islands were first colonised. One surprising finding was that the Caribs, marauders from South America and rumoured cannibals, invaded Jamaica, Hispaniola and the Bahamas, researchers said. The findings overturns half a century of assumptions that they never made it farther north than Guadeloupe, an island group in the southern Caribbean Sea. “I’ve spent years trying to prove Columbus wrong when he was right: There were Caribs in the northern Caribbean when he arrived,” said William Keegan, Florida Museum of Natural History curator of Caribbean archaeology. Columbus had recounted how peaceful Arawaks in modern-day Bahamas were terrorised by pillagers he mistakenly described as “Caniba,” the Asiatic subjects of the Grand Khan, the researchers said. His Spanish successors corrected the name to “Caribe” a few decades later, but the similar-sounding names led most archaeologists to chalk up the references to a mix-up.They wondered how Caribs could have been in the Bahamas when their closest outpost was nearly 1,000 miles to the south, according to the researchers. However, skulls reveal the Carib presence in the Caribbean was far more prominent than previously thought, giving credence to Columbus’ claims, they said.
