As a local dentist in Edgware, we understand the importance of a straight, beautiful smile; not only is it a crucial aspect of overall oral health, but it can also have a significant impact on self-confidence. At our dentist in Edgware, we offer a range of options for patients looking to straighten their teeth, each with its own set of unique benefits and considerations. In this blog post, we will be taking a closer look at the different methods available to help you achieve the straight smile you have been looking for. One of the most commonly used methods for straightening teeth is traditional metal braces. These braces use brackets and wires to apply pressure to the teeth, gradually shifting them into the desired positions. Using a traditional brace is a tried-and-tested method for achieving a straight smile, and it can be effective for even the most severe cases of misalignment. Metal braces are also highly customisable, as the tension on the wires can be adjusted to suit the specific needs of each patient. For patients looking for a more subtle option, clear aligners may be a better choice. Clear aligners are custom-made, clear plastic trays that fit over the teeth. Like traditional braces, they apply pressure to the teeth to gradually shift them into the desired positions. Clear aligners have several advantages over traditional braces. Because they are clear, clear aligners are much less noticeable than metal braces, and they are also removable, which makes eating and brushing teeth easier. Clear aligners typically require fewer visits to the dentist for adjustments, making them more convenient for busy patients. However, clear aligners are not as suitable for severe cases of misalignment, and they require a high level of patient compliance, as they need to be worn for a minimum of 22 hours a day to be effective. Another option that may interest patients looking for a discreet way to straighten their teeth is Invisalign. It is similar to clear aligners in that it uses clear, custom-made plastic trays to apply pressure to the teeth. Invisalign offers several benefits over traditional braces or generic clear aligners. Invisalign aligners are highly discreet given their virtual invisibility. They are also highly customisable and can be tailored to suit the specific needs of each patient. They require fewer adjustment sessions, and can even be assessed remotely using a virtual consultation. However, it is important to note that Invisalign is not suitable for all patients and may not work for severe cases of misalignment. As with clear aligners, Invisalign requires a high level of patient compliance to be effective. Over to you No matter which option you choose, it is important to work closely with our dentist in Edgware to find the right solution for your specific needs. At Manor Lodge, we offer a comprehensive consultation that will determine the method that is right for you.

On Elgin Marbles >> British Committee for the Reunification of the Parthenon Marbles Reunited >> Internationella Parthenonkommittén >> Website about the Parthenon frieze >> |THE SWEDISH PARTHENON COMMITTEE Welcome to the Swedish Parthenon Committee! Committees are currently being formed in many places around the world to support the reunification of the Parthenon Sculptures to the Acropolis in Athens. Large parts of these sculptures are currently exhibited at the British Museum in the UK; they were brought to London in the early 19th century by Lord Elgin, a British diplomat and are often referred to as the Elgin Marbles. The Swedish Parthenon Committee was founded in spring 2003. Please support its future work by becoming a member. Founder of the Swedish Parthenon Committee Died on 25 March 2010 Members of the Board in The Swedish Parthenon Committee Christina von Arbin Hans Henrik Brummer Ambassador and chair of the committee Journalist and author Project manager and secretary of the committee Professor and director Artist, responsible for the committee’s website AIM OF THE COMMITTEE The Swedish Parthenon Committee is a non-profit organisation that aims to use verbal, pictorial and written information to spread knowledge of Ancient Greece, emphasising the historical account of how the Parthenon Sculptures were transferred to the UK and the British Museum. In spreading this knowledge the committee specifically aims to promote the reunification of the sculptures in their original location, Athens. The committee backs the Greek government’s proposal: that it should be possible to exhibit the sculptures in a purpose-built museum in the immediate vicinity of the Acropolis, under the management of the British Museum, and that the new museum could in this respect be regarded as a branch of the British Museum. The committee backs any mutually agreed solution that the parties may reach regarding this matter. The committee shall also encourage and participate in the ongoing debate about the role and responsibility of museums in meeting the general public’s demands to be able to learn about cultural heritage from Classical Antiquity in an easily understood and thought-provoking way. The following countries have committees with similar aims: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Cyprus, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Russia, Serbia, Spain, Switzerland, the UK and the USA. In addition there is an international organisation, the International Association for the Reunification of the Parthenon Sculptures, which is based in Australia. The Parthenon Sculptures and Lord Elgin In July 1801, Lord Elgin (the Seventh Earl of Elgin), British Ambassador in Constantinople, ordered his employees in Athens – under Ottoman rule at the time – to systematically start dismantling the sculptural embellishment at the Parthenon temple. Lord Elgin intended to use the sculptures, which are highly significant in historical, artistic and cultural terms, as decoration for his private property in the UK. For financial reasons, however, he offered to sell them to the British government. After debating the issue, the British parliament decided to buy the sculptures, and in 1816 they were handed over to the British Museum, which had opened in 1759. The decision to move the sculptures while Athens was under Turkish rule was met with criticism, and in 1898 Greece demanded reunification of the sculptures. In 1983, Greek authorities submitted the first official request for their return. Since then, this request has garnered further international support from organisations such as UNESCO and ICOM as well as from the public. The issue is complicated, however. The British Museum regards the Parthenon Sculptures as part of British cultural heritage. They have been on display at the museum since 1817 and have been very significant to generations of artists, poets, architects and researchers. Furthermore, the operational goal of the museum is to exhibit and highlight the civilisations of the world. Many museums in Europe, the US and Australia base their collections on objects collected from Classical Antiquity in the Mediterranean region. It is feared that returning the Elgin Marbles to Athens would create a snowball effect with serious consequences. A debate about the Elgin Marbles – whatever its outcome – will thus affect all museums with foreign collections. The problems surrounding the case of the Parthenon Sculptures are closely linked to an ongoing international debate on the future role of museums and cultural heritage organisations, most of which were established more than 100 years ago. Many questions have arisen out of this debate, such as how these institutions can take a stance on modern ethics in cultural heritage issues and stay one step ahead of cultural policy developments in a changing world. The Greek claim to the Elgin Marbles is particularly interesting to the Museum of Mediterranean and Near Eastern Antiquities in Stockholm and to the Swedish public, because Sweden signed UNESCO’s UNIDROIT Convention on Stolen or Illegally Exported Cultural Objects in 2002.

Hey Thrill Seekers! Disney have now confirmed their Park Pass System for reserving Theme Park visits to Walt Disney World Resort. Please note – in order to use Disney’s Park Pass System you will need to have paid for your order in full and have the tickets in hand. *express delivery is currently unavailable on 2021 orders. If you already have your Disney tickets in hand and have linked them to your Disney account, you will receive an email from Disney in the coming days regarding the booking system. Starting July 11th Magic Kingdom Park and Disney’s Animal Kingdom will re-open followed on the 15th July by EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Disney are taking a deliberate approach that includes limits on attendance and controlled guest density to align with guidance from health and government authorities on physical distancing. They are also using technology to power creative solutions as we develop new ways for guests to visit The Most Magical Place on Earth in this unique environment. Please see all the information Disney have released so far on this below: ‘To manage attendance during this reopening period we are introducing the new Disney Park Pass system. During this time, all guests with a ticket or Annual Pass will be required to make a reservation in advance for each park entry, using this new online tool on DisneyWorld.com. ‘ Here are a few important details to know about this new system: - You’ll need a My Disney Experience account, as this is where your Walt Disney World Resort plans are stored and managed. - You’ll also need a valid theme park ticket or Annual Pass that’s linked to your My Disney Experience account. Once you’ve logged into your My Disney Experience account and linked your ticket, you’ll have access to a calendar of available reservation dates for each theme park. If you have a multi-day ticket, you will be required to make a park reservation for each date of your visit. Families and friends can link their tickets together and look to arrange theme park entries at the same time. Please note, park reservations are limited in number and subject to availability. Availability can change until the reservation is finalized. At this time, guests will be able to select one park per day; visiting more than one park per day will be temporarily unavailable upon the reopening of the theme parks due to attendance limitations. Guests with existing tickets that include the Park Hopper Option or Park Hopper Plus Option have options available to them for ticket modifications and cancellations, and can visit DisneyWorld.com/Updates for more information. We hope to bring back the ability to visit more than one park per day soon and will continue to offer these add-ons for 2021 ticket purchases. For Existing Ticket Holders: Beginning this week, we (Disney) will reach out to existing ticket holders with more information on when they will be able to check availability to make their park reservations. We will open the Disney Park Pass system to these guests in phases. Later this summer, we will resume sales of 2020 tickets, this will be based on availability of park reservations, while we continue to provide guests with existing tickets and the opportunity to make park reservations for 2020 dates. Planning a New Trip for Next Year: By June 28, all guests will be able to purchase new theme park tickets and make their park reservations for arrivals starting in 2021 as our phased reopening continues. Guests will be able to view park reservation availability on DisneyWorld.com prior to purchasing their tickets. As you begin planning your upcoming visits, we’re also exploring engaging ways for guests to use their mobile tech to experience the magic – particularly now as the use of phones and apps continues to evolve. In 2021, we plan to unveil an innovative new offering as part of the My Disney Experience app that will bring features of a MagicBand to your smart devices, building on the app’s existing digital key feature. We understand these updates may change the way you plan your visits to the Walt Disney World Resort theme parks and Disney Resort hotels for the time being. We are focused on making your Walt Disney World Resort experience magical, convenient and enjoyable. To find out more information, please visit DisneyWorld.com/Updates

We had a two-hour layover at Charles de Gaulle Airport meaning we just had time to move to another terminal, pass the security check and do some souvenir shopping before boarding the flight. One thing that I find really annoying about this airport is that in addition to checking my laptop, they made me unpack all my camera gear on the conveyor belt, including all my lenses. This hasn’t happened to me anywhere else, but it seems to be normal procedure in France. I wonder if there are other airports that are as strict? We got to board the plane 20 minutes late, because they were cleaning up the cabin, or at least that’s what we were told. As expected, most of the passengers were Japanese, and as they often do when they have spare time, most of them dozed off as soon as they got to their seats. A Japanese woman sitting next to me fastened her seatbelt, opened her French novel and went into coma before the plane even started moving. She actually slept through the take-off. For me the take-off was like the opening scene in Mel Brooks’ High Anxiety and I would’ve rather skipped it. I wouldn’t mind flying if I could skip the take-offs and landings, but I don’t see that happening anytime soon. All in all the flight was extremely boring – partly because I was so anxious to get to Tokyo, and partly because the entertainment system kept crashing. The system didn’t allow rewinding or fast forwarding the movies so I would have to start watching the movie again from the beginning after every crash. Eventually I gave up watching The Hangover and watched some stuff I’d loaded on my Creative Zen. Our flight attendant was also very entertaining, because he stubbornly spoke to me in French although he knew that I couldn’t understand a word. The most exciting part of the flight was when the Japanese lady next to me tried to get something from the overhead luggage compartment and dropped a pair of crutches on an old man sitting behind me. It turned out that she was very good at apologizing in French. After the sun set, I slept for about an hour and then just watched some TV until the morning. When we started approaching Japan I got a bit nervous; not because of we were about to land, but because this was my first time to Japan for seven years and I didn’t know if I would still be as thrilled about Japan as I was when I first lived their or if I would find it disappointing after having so much expectations.

Tour guide in Moscow Guide touristique à Moscou Reiseleitung in Moskau If you are interested in services of a tour guide in Moscow, please get in touch with us through our "Contact us" form, WhatsApp or email We will be glad to help you! Spasskaya Tower with a clock is the official entry point to the Kremlin. It was constructed after the design of the Italian architect Pietro Antonio Solario in 1491. In XVII century an 8-faceted spire was added to it. In the middle of the XVII century a double-headed eagle was added to the top of the spire. The name of the tower is due to the image of the Saviour (Spas) above its gate. The holy image and the gate itself were an object of worship in the past: nobody dared to go through the gate on horseback, and people who were walking, were supposed to take off their hats in front of the holy image which had a special oil lamp always burning in front of it (this tradition was going on till the XIX century). Violators of this tradition were made to kneel and to bow 50 times touching earth with their forehead every time. This gate was the starting point for the armies departing to wars, as well as a for religious processions. Russian tsars entered the Kremlin through Spasskiye gates for the coronation ceremony. According to the legend, the wind blew off Napoleon's tricorne hat from his head as he was riding through Spasskiye gates on horseback. Before retreating from Moscow with his army Napoleon was planning to blow up the tower, but a group of Don cossacks managed to put out the fire on the explosives. There were chapels on both sides of the Spasskiye gates where the priests' duty was to look after the lamp above the gate. Both chapels were destroyed by the bolshevicks in 1925. The nowadays clock with 4 faces appeared on the tower in the middle of the XIХ century to replace the clock of the XVIII century that Peter I had brought from Holland. The first clock appeared on the tower in the XVII century. It was smaller, and its face was painted with images of the sun and the sky full of stars, and it had only hour hand. The four faces of the nowadays clock are 6,12 m in diameter. The circumference and the clock hands are plated with pure gold. Roman numbers are 72 cm high, the minute hands are 3,27 m long, and the hour hands are 2,97 m long. The Small Chimes strike every 15 minuted, and the Big Chimes strike every hour. At 3.00 pm and at 3.00 am the clock of the Spasskaya tower plays the anthem of Russia. In the XVII century the clock looked differently: the face of the clock had images of the sun and the sky full of stars, and there was only one hand that showed hours. Since 1770 the clock not only chimed the time, but also played a melody called «Oh my dear Augustin ...» (empress Catherine II liked that melody very much) and in the XIХ century it played various marches and hymns. In 1917 the clock was damaged by a bullet fired by the bolsheviks who were assaulting the Kremlin that was protected by military cadets. In 1918 the clock was repaired and set to play «The Internationale». The mechanism that controls the four faces of the clock weights 25 tons. Correct work of the clock is ensured by a powerful magnet, and by a special system of weights and counterweights. In the past the mechanism was launched manually, and since 1937 it is launched by three electric engines.

I have always been a vocal proponent of public schooling.But my public school frustration has reached its limit. My wife and I view public school as part of the social contract that binds our country together. We actively participate in our kids’ education and I am currently the PTA president and in the past I have been VP and treasurer. While I think the teachers and administration at my children’s school are fantastic, at the moment, I feel like throwing my hands up in the air and, in a sense, waving them like I just don’t care. They are involved and care about the students, but the regulations, Common Core and testing along with the constant scrutiny that they are under tie their hands. Those things trickle down to the children. And I see it in the faces of the students and those that work in the school. My second grader is in school from 7:50 a.m. until 2:10 p.m. and my fourth grader attends from 7:50 a.m. until 4:10 or 4:45 p.m., depending on the day. When they come home, I oversee their lengthy homework assignments while trying to cook supper and hold back the little brother who just wants to play with the older siblings he hasn’t seen all day. I also need to squeeze in after-school activities, sports, and what’s that one thing that I can’t remember … oh yeah, playtime. I am at the point where I just don’t care about their homework anymore. If they haven’t grasped something during the 40 hours they sit in a classroom each week, then they should try again another day. With all of the homework and testing, I’m throwing in the towel. I give up. Everyone is under too much pressure, including our children. The joy of learning has been replaced by the fear of failing – failing a standardized test. The first two-thirds of the year is dictated by the stress of the upcoming tests, and the last one-third is spent dreading the test results. It wasn’t always like this. This is why more and more parents flee public schools and send their students to private schools or try homeschooling. My wife and I are seriously considering homeschooling our children because we are so frustrated with how teachers in public schools are being forced to educate children. If we do leave public school, it will be with heavy hearts. Because of public school, my kids have learned so much that we couldn’t teach them (about other cultures, religions, how to interact and learn from people unlike themselves) and we have been engaged in our community in a very unique way. I’m not sure yet what we are doing, but I wanted to vent a little about my public school frustration and see if there are other parents that share my sentiments. A version of Public School Frustration first appeared on One Good Dad.

Bengal cats are a hybrid variety of cats, which are very homely and friendly by nature with a very wild look. They are also very intelligent and alert. Along with being friendly, they are very good at sports. Their distinct features are markings such as spots and rosette. It has very close resemblance to the Asian Leopard Cat and from its taxonomic name was the word ‘Bengal’ derived. Bengals have an average build. Males weigh up to fifteen pounds and females weigh up to ten pounds. The horizontal lines on the side of their face, which starts from the end of their eyes and go up to the back of their neck, are known as mascara. Their bodies have spotting which is usually rosette or some even have a marbled coat pattern. Bengals with spots, with more than one color, are the ones, which are more in demand. The color of spots varies from rust to chocolate brown to cocoa to gray and black. Their tail, hind legs and fore limbs has symmetrical stripes. Bengals cats win championships in most of the competitions held to award the most exotic pet because of their looks, intelligence and friendly nature. Bengals are a result of years of selective crossbreeding techniques. Jean Mill of United States developed Bengals in 1970s. They are a hybrid breed created from crossing other breeds of domestic cats like American shorthair, Egyptian maus, ocicat, Abyssinian and other shorthaired pet cats. Basically, they originated by crossing small Asian Leopard cat or ALC and domestic cats. This gives them the wild and exotic look with a friendly nature. Breeders are still working all over the globe to develop more qualities in this breed. The foundation generations of the filial are the first three generations of Bengals. Most of the males of these generations didn’t have the ability to reproduce, where as the females were. After the fifth generation, they were no longer crossbred; instead breeding was done between two Bengal cats. Presently there are three kinds of Bengal cats available as pets, the Cheetoh, the Toyger, and the Serengeti cat. The Cheetoh are hybrid cats derived by crossing Ocicat and Bengal, to get a breed of spotted cats. The Toyger are hybrid cats, which are produced by crossing domestic pets that results in a cat with stripes. The Serengeti cat has been produced by crossing Siamese or Oriental cats to get a cat that looks like an African Serval. Based on their patterns they can be named as brown marbled tabby, brown spotted tabby, seal mink marbled tabby, seal mink spotted tabby, seal sepia marbled tabby, seal sepia spotted tabby, seal marbled lynx point, and seal spotted lynx point. Other than the mentioned colors, they also come in blue, grey, and black, but still yet to get recognition across the world in these colors. Unlike other domestic cats, Bengals get fascinated with running water and are easy to bathe. They get attracted to tap water, shower and instantly jump inside the tub. They are also trained to vocalize so as to interact with their owners. They are good with sports and play hide and seek and also learn games very well. Young ones need human attention and can be bonded with by playing for at least an hour during the day and evening. They are attention seekers and always try to be involved in human activities. They follow their owners, but do not like to be placed on laps. People who have made their minds to keep Bengals as pet should be aware that they have to spend lots of time with the cat, otherwise it will get bored. And if the cat gets bored it can get frustrated and can trouble a lot. They have a very high energy level, which they need to let out, that can only be done by keeping them occupied with activities. Owners who do not have time to spare should certainly keep Bengals in pairs, so that they can play with each other. But both the Bengals should be given equal attention, otherwise the neglected one tends to become envious of the other.

December 13, 2014 (SSNA) — At 10:30 pm, on Sunday the 15th of December 2013, messages and statements circulated on twitter and Facebook reported of a fierce fighting in Al Giyiada military barrack (former Sudanese armed forces hospital). And within a matter of more than two hours, the fighting resumed in New Site and continued with the echo of heavy gunfire to the next morning (Dec 16th). On the morning of 16th December on Monday, Kiir flanked by Nguen Manytuil, Marial Benjamin, Kuol Manyang, Louis Lobong and so on, appeared in a decisive military uniform televising an announcement of a failed coup attempt by Dr. Riek Machar and his colleagues. At 4pm on the same Monday in which kiir announced a failed and controversial coup, 4000 Nuer men, women and little children were reported massacred at Souk Lualdiit and Gudele. As the killing was systematically and officially ordered, within less than a matter of 72 hours, more than 20 thousands of Nuer men, women, and children were confirmed massacred. The killing continued cruelly till today. December 15th, 2013, is a big day in Naath history, a bloody day. It was the largest mass killing in South Sudan ever witnessed and also one of the biggest massacres of one ethnic group in the world in a matter of less than 72 hours since the beginning of the 21st century. And yet nobody has been prosecuted. Those responsible have pushed it under the rug, silencing and denouncing any criticism that comes their way. It’s like it never happened. On that Sunday and Monday, South Sudanese security forces and their Gelweng militiamen literally translated to cattle herders raided and rounded up two largely peaceful Nuer dominated residential areas. In that raid, atleast 4050 people were killed between 1am and 4 pm on the 16th of December in what Human Rights Watch says was an attack orchestrated at the highest levels of the South Sudan government The death of more than 20,000s Nuer people at the hands of their state is neither a partisan nor a political controversy but instead, It is a national and human tragedy. December 15th is a tragic day in South Sudan’s history and Naath in particular and only when a larger section of the population recognizes it as such will South Sudan be a better, healthier and more peaceful path. No Justice has been achieved so far since this inhuman massacre was executed. It is as if the identity of killers is a public secret everyone knows exactly who they are. Some of them still roam freely in the area, but they cannot be named, even by an official Inquiry or investigation. I am not saying hang or kill them without a trial. But the people have neither forgiven nor forgotten what happened on December 15th last year nor do the people not know who exactly is responsible for it.

Hello everyone, I’m Haruyuki Tago, Edge Evangelist at the HACARUS Tokyo R&D center. In this series of articles, I will share some insights from my decades of experience in the semiconductor industry and I will comment on various AI industry-related topics from my unique perspective. In this volume, I would like to talk a little about microcomputers with Bluetooth functionality. The microcomputers we will cover today are also designed for data collection in edge AI systems. Microcomputers with Bluetooth Functionality In volume 13, I gave a brief overview of the microcomputer. In this issue, we will continue this discussion using three sample programs that run on Silicon Labs’ BGM220 Bluetooth Module Wireless Starter Kit . First, let’s look at the starter kit that was used. The Silicon Labs BGM220P development board from the Wireless Gecko Module Starter Kit comes equipped with the following hardware shown in Figure 1: - BRD4001A Wireless Starter Kit Mainboard - BRD4310A BGM220S Wireless Gecko Module Radio Board - BRD4311A BGM220P Wireless Gecko Module Radio Board - BRD8010A Debug Adapter Board - USB Type-A to Mini-B cable - 10-pin flat cable for debug adapter Both (2) and (3) are Bluetooth MCUs, and either can be connected to the Main board shown on the left of Figure 1. Setup is very easy, and you can begin development immediately by connecting the Main board’s USB mini connector to the Windows PC USB board using the USB Type-A to Mini-B cable. For the projects that follow, (4) and (6) will not be used.Moving on to the software side of things, we used Simplicity Studio 5 as our software development tool (SDK). This software, developed by Silicon Labs, can be downloaded from their website free of charge . Simplicity Studio 5 is a powerful tool that includes an Advanced Energy Monitor (AEM) function, which can measure the current consumption and supply voltage of the Bluetooth microcontroller . This was necessary for the projects that I will soon explain. The first project performed was the SoC Blinky project. In order to start collecting data, we first needed to create a sample project in Simplicity Studio 5. Figures 2-4 illustrate the steps needed to create a sample project that includes the source programs, object files, and other related files. Creating a project is simple. After connecting the development board to the PC and booting up the software, the development board will be automatically recognized (Figure 2, step 1). Then click the [start] button on the right side of the device to display information about the development board and other related documents (Figure 2, step 2). For step 3, click the [EXAMPLE PRODUCTS DEMOS] tab (Figure 3) to see a list of projects that are compatible with the development board. After finding [Bluetooth SoC Blinky], click [CREATE], and the Project Configuration window will appear (Figure 3). The last step is to enter the Project Name that will serve as the folder name for the project on your local PC. With everything done, click the [FINISH] button in the lower right corner to download all of the necessary files to your PC. Step 4 involves selecting the folder we previously named from the Project Explorer on the left side of Simplicity Studio (Figure 4, left). Next, right-click on the [Run] button and move the cursor to the [Profile As] tab in the pull-down menu and click [Simplicity Energy Profiler Traget] (Figure 4, left). This will then start the project generation. The progress is shown in the CDT Build Console in the lower right of the screen (Figure 4, right). The generated binary program will be written into the target device (BGM220P), and the execution will start automatically after resetting. One important thing to note is that except for the action of inputting the Project name, the sample project creation and execution can only be performed by mouse operation. Additionally, the main parameters for Bluetooth communication, such as the advertising interval, can be changed through the configurator in simplicity studio 5. It is also possible to edit the C++ source programs directly, but that is beyond the scope of this experiment. Figure 5 shows the experimental apparatus that was used for today’s experiments. The development board from figure 1 is often called a peripheral, so this is what I will refer to it as for the remainder of this article. Simplicity Studio 5 also handled building the project, wrote the generated binary to the flash memory of the microcomputer, and measured the current consumption and voltages. Another device we used was the smartphone, commonly referred to as Central. Central ran the EFR Connect to display the data sent by Bluetooth . In our first two experiments, we transmitted the pushbutton switch status and temperature sensor data from the development board to Central. By varying the distance between the peripheral and Central, we investigated the strength of the Bluetooth waves and observed the operation status of the projects. The experiments performed using the microcomputer were conducted at a height of 123cm above ground level. As shown in this article’s cover photo, the experiment was conducted where the peripherals could be seen from the central location. One last aspect of the experiment environment was the communication between Bluetooth devices in the surrounding area. Bluetooth communicates by searching for an available channel among the dozens of channels within the 2.4GHz band. This means that the communication status depends on the status of other Bluetooth and Wifi devices in the vicinity. In our experiment, we found 10 Bluetooth devices and 4 Wifi base stations are detailed in Figure 5. SoC blinky sample project The first project is the Bluetooth version of the blinking LED, a common test performed when starting up a microcontroller board. For the experiment, we used a peripheral pushbutton switch and LEDs. As shown in figure 6, the LED icon changed to green when the pushbutton was pressed. The distance between the peripheral and central station was then varied between 0.2m and 20m and the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) was measured. The maximum distance of 20m was due to the limitations of the environment. The RSSI received by Central in advertising mode is shown in Figure 7. The graph includes a dotted line that shows the theoretical relationship where the signal strength is inversely proportional to the square root of the distance (free space propagation loss). The slope for the RSSI data seems to mimic this relationship to a high degree. Thermometer sample project In this project, we observed how the measured values from the temperature sensor on the development board were transmitted via Bluetooth . Starting the experiment, we placed a finger on the temperature sensor to make the temperature rise (Figure 8, right). This change in temperature showed up on the application screen as well. The main purpose of this project was to test how the RSSI of the temperature sensor changed as the peripheral was moved away from the central station. For this test, we varied the distance from 0.2m to 20m, as shown in figure 9. Looking at the graph we can see that the RSSI in the Advertising and Connected states showed a similar trend. For both states, the connection was stable even at a distance of 20 meters. Figure 10 shows an example of data collected for current consumption and supply voltage for the microcontroller using the AEM function from Simplicity Studio 5. The horizontal axis shows the time (in seconds) for the past 10 seconds until the present time. The vertical axis represents the RSSI in dBm. Taking a closer look at the time interval, we can see that from 10 seconds ago until 8.3 seconds ago, the peripheral was in the Advertising state. In this state, the peripheral is intermittently emitting radio waves in order for Central to find the peripheral. At around 8.3 seconds, Central found the peripheral, established a connection, and changed its state to ‘connected’. While in the connected state, temperature data was sent to Central every 4 seconds. Looking again at Figure 10, the vertical axis represents two different variables, with current (yellow waveform) on the left and the power supply voltage (red waveform) on the right. The current consumption peaked at about 2.5mA, while in the Advertising state. The current then dropped to around 1.3mA in the connected state. We can observe that every time the peripheral transmits temperature data, the current spikes to around 3mA. On the other hand, the voltage remains constant at 3.3v the entire time because it was powered by USB from the PC. As we can see, the AEM provided detailed information about the current consumption and supply voltage of the Bluetooth Microcomputer. The AEM also ran in conjunction with various C++ functions. Throughput sample project The last project for today involved measuring the data transfer rate between the peripheral and the central station as it was sent from the peripheral . When studying throughput, there were two types of data transfer protocols that needed to be understood: induction and notification. Indication is a protocol in which the peripheral sends data and the central station sends back a confirmation message. The peripheral will then move on to the next data transmission after receiving the confirmation message. Notification uses a different process, where it does not wait for a confirmation message, but instead sends data at its own pace. There are two types of protocols for the internet: TCP/IP and UDP. The previously mentioned indication protocol corresponds to TCP/IP and the notification protocol corresponds to UDP. Figure 11 shows the results of the experiment where the notification throughput was about 180 kbps and the indication throughput was about 22kbps. This showed that indication performed around 9 times faster than notification. The second part of the project measured the throughput speeds as the distance between the peripheral and the central system was varied between 0.2m to 10m (Figure 12). The results show that even at a distance of 10m, the throughput was stable for both the indication and notification protocols. For this project, distances greater than 10m were not tested. - Using the BGM220P Wireless Gecko Module Starter Kit from Silicon Labs, we observed three sample projects (SoC blinky, Thermometer, and Throughput). - We used the Simplicity Studio 5 software, developed by Silicon Labs, as our software development tool to measure the current and voltage of the microcontroller. - When measuring the RSSI between the peripheral and the central station, all three test parameters were stable. The RSSI of the central station closely resembled an inverse relationship that was proportional to the square root of the distance (free space propagation loss). - In the Throughput sample project, the Notification throughput was found to be about 180 kbps and the indication throughput was about 22kbps. - Using the AEM function, we were able to measure the current and voltage consumption when switching between advertising and connected states.

If you’re becoming more environmentally aware, then you know that conserving water is one of the best things you can do for the planet. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), one of the biggest water wasters is the bathroom. By taking steps to reduce your water usage in the bathroom, you save on your water and energy bills while saving water for future generations. Why Water Conservation is Important Most people realize that the Earth is mostly water. There are oceans, seas, rivers, lakes, and streams. Although this abundance of water may seem like there is enough to go around, the truth is that only 1 percent of all these waterways is drinkable. This means that the remaining 70 percent of the Earth’s water supply is not safe or clean to drink. With water pollution and droughts on the increase throughout the world, this tiny percentage of clean water is in great demand because people need water to live. An additional burden on this 1 percent is that the world’s population continues to increase. If drastic measures are not taken, there won’t be enough water for people to live. Water conservation is essential if we are to keep the planet and its inhabitants with an adequate supply of water. Fortunately, there are simple things that everyone can do on a daily basis to conserve water. Even doing the simplest of things, such as turning off running water, can save gallons of water every day in your home. The Benefits of Water Conservation for Homeowners By using water wisely, and reducing water waste when you use the bathroom, you’ll see many benefits that not only help you, but the environment as well. The small changes you make in your life can possibly reduce your water consumption by as much as 35 percent reports EarthEasy.com. Here are some of the wonderful benefits of conserving water in the bathroom: - lowers water bills every month - extends the life of your septic system - reduces energy bills What are WaterSense or Energy Star Labels? In an effort to help encourage consumers to purchase energy-efficient appliances, the government created the Energy Star labeling system. This system rates appliances for their energy efficiency. When it’s time to replace an old appliance that uses a lot of water, such as a dishwasher or a washing machine, you should buy a new model that is Energy Star rated. Another important label to look for is the WaterSense label. This label indicates that an appliance is not only energy efficient but also conserves water. By using Energy Star and/or WaterSense labels appliances, you reduce your water and energy costs. How to Reduce Water Usage People use a great deal of water when taking a bath or shower. The toilet alone accounts for about 30 percent of indoor water usage, reports the EPA. You probably don’t even realize how often you let water run from a bathroom faucet, which is an incredible waste of drinkable water. There are many things you can do to stay clean while also lowering your water usage. In the Shower: - Limit every shower to around 10 minutes. - Place a waterproof timer in the shower to monitor your time. - Install a low flow shower head that saves water. - Choose a shower head that also has dual-controls so you can turn off water or reduce flow while shampooing. - Take a navy shower: get wet, turn off water, lather up, and then turn on water to rinse off. - Place a bucket under the shower head to collect water as you wait for it to heat up, and then use the water to clean the bathroom,water plants, or wash the car. - Consider brushing your teeth while in the shower. In the Bathtub: - Take showers instead of baths. - Remove the tub from the bathroom, and install a larger shower stall. - Buy a smaller tub. - Reduce the number of baths taken weekly. - Use less water when filling the tub for a bath. At the Sink: - Install an Energy Star or WaterSense aerator or faucet to reduce water flow. - Purchase an aerator with multiple flow rate settings to use reduced water depending on what you want to do at the sink. - Don’t let water run in sink while you brush your teeth. - Fill sink with water before you shave instead of letting water run. - Don’t let water run as you wash your face. - Replace older toilets with high efficiency models that are low-flow ones that uses less water. - Don’t use the toilet as a garbage can because it wastes water and can clog pipes. - Consider a dual-flush toilet that has two settings: one for light flushes, the other for heavier jobs. Other Water Saving Tips - Check for hidden pipe leaks, dripping faucets, and running toilets. These types of leaks are one of the major reasons for water waste in the bathroom. If leaks aren’t repaired, you are wasting gallons of water every day, and increasing your water bill. Call a plumber as soon as you notice a problem. - Take part in environmental events such as World Water Day on March 22, 2016. This day highlights the fact that 750 million people don’t have clean water for drinking, preparing meals or washing their hands. You can also learn more about the clean water scarcity by reading books and articles. - Visit you local water utility website for tips on saving water. You can also find information about water rebates for purchasing energy efficient and water efficient dishwashers, water heaters, and washing machines. - Harvest rainwater to use in your home. According to com, you can collect rainwater in tanks and then use a “rain catchment system” to connect the tanks to areas of your home, such as the toilet, which doesn’t require drinkable water for flushing. Most people waste a lot of water in the bathroom on a daily basis. However, with a few changes in your daily habits, you can save water, energy, and money. By becoming more aware of how you use and waste water in the bathroom, you can make the changes needed to become a water conservationist and save the planet’s most precious natural resource.

The increasing use of social media presents both benefits and risks for employers and employees. The ability to connect with others, create a network and communicate quickly to a wide and often targeted audience can enormously benefit an organisation when used positively. However, those same features of social media sites can also cause significant problems for an employer when the use of social media by an employee or former employee is not in the organisation’s best interests, particularly if controversial comments are re-tweeted, shared, re-posted or ‘go viral’ and reach a mass audience. In this blog post, we will delve into key aspects of social media in the workplace, addressing issues such as setting rules and standards for employee use, tackling online bullying and harassment, understanding the role of digital evidence in HR processes, and determining ownership of employees’ professional social media profiles. By exploring these topics, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of the implications and best practices associated with social media in the workplace. What is Social media? First, let’s define what social media actually is. There is no legal definition of social media. It generally means internet-based applications which people use on computers, tablets and smartphones to connect, keep in touch and interact socially by creating and sharing content in the form of text, photos or video. There is a wide range of different types of social media sites including social and professional networks, community sites, blogs, microblogging sites, wikis, web forums, social bookmarking services and user rating services. Indeed, we have all no doubt heard of Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and Instagram. Setting Rules and Standards for Employee Social Media Use One of the fundamental steps in managing social media in the workplace is establishing clear rules and standards for employee use. Acas recommends the implementation of a social media policy that outlines guidance for employees regarding acceptable behavior, both online and offline, for instance by clarifying what employees can and cannot say about the organisation. The policy should address the distinction between personal and professional use of social media, protecting the organisation’s reputation, and minimising reputational risks. Additionally, it should clarify the consequences of breaching the policy, emphasising that disciplinary action, including dismissal, may be taken in response to inappropriate social media conduct. Employer-owned social media accounts require clear guidelines. In any social media policy, employers should emphasise the account’s value and their ownership rights. Access to login credentials should be ensured, and rules must be set regarding information disclosure and expressing opinions. Confidentiality, political neutrality, and adherence to legal requirements should be addressed. For businesses reliant on client connections, additional rules on engaging with business contacts can be considered in the social media policy. Who Owns Your Employees’ Professional Social Media Profiles? Due to the grey area as to who ‘owns’ social media accounts or the connections made on them, it is better for an employer to make this clear from the outset in its social media policy. The policy should therefore outline whether work-related social media accounts are owned by the employer and establish rules for connections made with business contacts during employment. Contracts and settlement agreements may also need to include provisions related to social media contacts and post-termination restrictions. Indeed, in the case of Whitmar, the claimant company successfully applied for an interim injunction to prevent former employees from, amongst other things, misappropriating and misusing its confidential information. This included four LinkedIn groups managed by one of the former employees on behalf of the claimant in the course of her employment. Employees using personal accounts for work or professional purposes raise ownership and confidentiality concerns. While an individual’s LinkedIn network is typically considered their private property, this is not always straightforwardly the case. Factors such as creation during employment and relationship development of clients and suppliers of the employer can mean that the employer also has a vested interest. To protect against breaches, post-termination restrictions can require employees to disconnect from employer clients and prohibit reconnecting during a specified restraint period. Employers should therefor ensure employment contracts or settlement agreements include these provisions for effective safeguarding. Dealing with Cyber-Bullying and Harassment Online The rise of social media has unfortunately brought forth instances of cyber-bullying and harassment. It is crucial for employers to take such incidents seriously and address them as disciplinary matters. Making it explicitly clear to employees that online harassment and bullying will not be tolerated is essential. An illustrative case is Otomewo v Carphone Warehouse, where an employer was found vicariously liable for harassment related to sexual orientation on an employee’s Facebook page. Employers must ensure that their response to online harassment is proportionate and aligned with their established policies and procedures. Misconduct Relating to Social Media Employee misuse of social media can lead to various forms of misconduct that require appropriate disciplinary action. Instances such as bullying, disclosure of confidential information, writing disparaging comments regarding the employer, employees or customers, or publishing offensive material can significantly impact an employer’s reputation and relationships. When addressing such misconduct, employers should consider factors like the nature and seriousness of the offence, any previous warnings, the impact on customer relationships, and the reasonableness of the employer’s disapproval. Dismissal for a first offence will rarely be fair, although may be justified in certain circumstances, but fairness and proportionality should always be assessed. Another important matter to consider is whether rights under the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) – such as the right to privacy – might be engaged. On some social media sites, such as Facebook, there are privacy settings that employees may use to limit the number of people who can view their posts. Although a tribunal will take into consideration range of users who can view an individual’s posts, a tribunal may recognise the lack of control a user has regarding reposts etc. Users of social media can publish content to a limited audience of their friends, but that content can easily be ‘shared’, ‘Retweeted’, ‘reposted’ and can go viral to thousands of other users, therefore the lack of control over the information is likely to remove a reasonable expectation of privacy. Even if the right to privacy is engaged the employer may still be able to justify interference with that right if the employer’s actions are proportionate in the circumstances, for example, if necessary to protect the employer’s legitimate interest in protecting its reputation and relationship with customers. The Role of Digital and Online Evidence in HR Processes Digital and online evidence plays a vital role in HR processes, including disciplinaries, grievances, and sickness management. Employers can rely on screen-grabs or screenshots of relevant social media posts as credible evidence. Verbal testimony from involved parties can also contribute to understanding social media interactions. However, it is important to give employees an opportunity to respond to allegations based on social media posts, allowing them to provide explanations or clarifications. This ensures fairness and a comprehensive evaluation of the evidence. Social media in the workplace presents numerous opportunities and challenges for employers and employees alike. By setting clear rules and standards, addressing cyber-bullying and harassment, understanding ownership of professional social media profiles, and effectively utilising digital evidence in HR processes, organisations can navigate the social media landscape more effectively. It is essential for employers to proactively establish policies and procedures that strike a balance between protecting their interests and respecting employees’ rights to privacy and freedom of expression. Through careful management and clear communication, organisations can leverage the benefits of social media while mitigating potential risks.

It looks like Iberia may have just gone and gutted their frequent flyer program for redemptions on most partner airlines, at least for the rewards that have been the best value. And since Iberia and British Airways are jointly owned, and share very similar programs (and the same named currency, Avios), one worries if something similar could be next for British Airways. The award chart has gotten astronomically expensive for short distance flying — so expensive I almost questioned whether it was a mistake. But there are some positives, too. Here’s the redemption table for using Iberia’s points on British Airways. Remember that British Airways and Iberia are both owned by the same company, IAG. The chart looks to me to be the same that it was before. It should also look familiar to those used to redeeming British Airways points. Here’s their oneworld chart, which only applies to most oneworld airlines. And it has truly exorbitant short haul pricing. Note though that long haul flying can be cheaper than using BA Avios. For instance, Los Angeles – Sydney in first class on Qantas runs 150,000 points each way under the British Airways chart but less using this Iberia oneworld partner chart. It’s still too expensive, so in my view not useful but interesting to see the top end get less expensive. That’s the reverse of the trend we’ve seen with programs generally. The above chart oddly does not include flights on American Airlines. There’s a separate chart for American, although it is nearly identical. I flag the only one difference that I saw: Iberia is showing different mileage ranges, and different prices, for flights on their partners like American and US Airways than they are for their own flights and British Airways flights. A 650 mile flight on British Airways is 4500 points. A 650 mile flight on American or US Airways? 24,000 points. The British Airways website does not show different pricing for partners at this point. But that’s the worry. The best use of British Airways Avios is short-haul, non-stop flights. BA is a transfer partner of American Express Membership Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, and Starwood Preferred Guest. I do this quite often to fly DC – New York, Chicago, and other short haul destinations. The only value I’ve seen in Iberia as such, though it is an American Express transfer partner, is transferring BA points over in order to book flights on Iberia without significant fuel surcharges. If Iberia is going this route, is co-owned British Airways likely to follow? I do not know the answer to this. I have decent contacts with several airlines — British Airways isn’t one of them. Of course, it makes no sense for Iberia to have this chart and not British Airways. Otherwise, you just transfer your Iberia points over to British Airways Avios and redeem on partners from there. In order to effectively charge so much for partners, you’d expect that both programs would have to more or less move in tandem. When BA introduced their current chart in November 2011, they did it without releasing the details in advance. So they have that track record.

Meopham teenager Maxime Carolan’s rapid progress in volleyball shows no signs of slowing down. Carolan, who had England trials just a couple of months after taking up the sport, has been playing for his country since January. The 14-year-old, a pupil at Gravesend Grammar School, has now been called up to the national squad for the under-17 Nevza indoor tournament in Denmark next month. It’s an event featuring top young players in northern Europe. It’s still only 16 months since Carolan first picked up a volleyball and how he’s taken to it, also enjoying success in beach volleyball. He caught the eye at a training camp in Leeds to earn Nevza selection. “Max is feeling great about it,” said mum Sophie Henry. “He’s a very happy-go-lucky kid but he’s quite discreet about it. “The amazing thing, where everyone is shocked and surprised, is he didn’t touch his first volleyball until one year and four months ago. “He feels at one with a volleyball, it feels natural to him, that’s what he says to me. “He knows he’s only at the beginning but he does look natural when he plays. “He’s 6ft3in and still growing but he looks very graceful on the pitches. “England have been teaching him what he needs to know. “From when I first saw him train to when I saw him at camp last time, I barely recognise my son who started volleyball a year ago. “You really have to be there to believe it. “He’s just gone all the way up, nothing has stopped him. “Being selected for England is always a big thing. The incredible thing is the timeframe.” Carolan is a mature head on young shoulders. With his mum’s help he’s organising a black-tie fundraising ball at Cobham Hall on October 29. Money generated will help the teenager with his travel costs while also supporting the Sport in Mind charity. “Even though he was offered the ball by Cobham Hall, he wants to use the event to raise money for Sport in Mind as well,” said Henry. “I think he’s surprised a lot of people in the way he does things. He’s very mature for such a young kid.” Tickets for the ball, which starts at 6.30pm, cost £75 and are available by calling 07917 896348.

The most moist and flavorful pot roast is Italian—and easy to make! Try it for a special Sunday dinner. “Do Italians really make pot roast?” I am happy to share not only that Italians do make pot roast, but also that Italian-style pot roast is the most moist and flavorful pot roast I’ve ever tasted! When I lived in San Francisco, I discovered the wonderful way that Northern Italians from the Lombardy region have with pot roast. They braise their pot roast slowly, under low heat for many hours, with a full-bodied northern Italian red wine called Barolo wine. With this method, the meat becomes melt-in-your-mouth soft and delicious. If you can’t find the Barolo wine that is typical of Northern Italy, Barbera wine or any hearty Italian red wine will do. I’ve been making Italian pot roast in red wine for many years now, usually as a special treat for Sunday dinners with my family. The nice thing about the Italian red wine method is that the meat is even more flavorful if reheated; with this in mind, the dish is traditionally prepared the day before serving. Cook the meat until it is almost done, then reheat and finish in about an hour’s time for your special dinner the next day. And don’t worry—there is virtually no way to overcook pot roast with this method! For the Italian pot roast recipe below, you will need a 3 lb. top round or rump round cut of beef. Ask your butcher to tie your meat with butcher’s twine, so the roast will stay intact as it cooks. Or, if you’d like to try to tie the meat yourself, click on the link to a master chef’s video from Le Cordon Bleu. The recipe below also calls for “larding” the meat. This is an old method, whereby salt pork is inserted into tough cuts of meat to yield more tenderness and flavor. Nowadays, salt pork can be hard to find. And although larding is not absolutely necessary, I find that when I use a minimally processed bacon fat—no smoke, salt, or other flavorings added—this little bit of added fat does seem to help keep the roast moist during the long braising time. I have provided below a simple method for larding meat with kitchen utensils found in most homes. If you are interested in a special larding gadget and watching the larding process in real time, click on this video: Tescoma Presto Larding Needle. Of course, you may add a vegetable side dish (contorno) to your pot roast meal. Northern Italy is the home of polenta, which would make a wonderful accompaniment. Small boiled potatoes and cut carrots are also nice to frame your roast when you present it on a serving dish. And don’t throw away the vegetables that have been braising with the roast—those onions, carrots, and celery may have an unappealing brownish color, but they will also have developed a wonderful sweetness. Serve as a garnish to top the pot roast slices when they are plated. Ladle the finished slices with the warm pot roast juices and enjoy! —Kathryn Occhipinti for the Pot Roast: 1 (3 lb.) top round of beef, tied with butcher’s twine 6 strips natural, uncured, unsalted bacon 1 or 2 large cloves of garlic, with the second clove sliced lengthwise into several thin slices 1/4 cup butter 1/4 cup olive oil 1 whole, dried clove 1 onion, chopped coarsely 3 carrots, sliced diagonally into thick slices 2 stalks of celery, sliced diagonally into thick slices 1 cup Barolo wine, Barbera wine, or any full-bodied Italian red wine 1/4 cup tomato paste for the Vegetable Garnish 1 lb. of small red or yellow potatoes 1 lb. of carrots, cut into serving pieces Prepare the meat and vegetables: Prepare your top round or rump round meat by rinsing, patting dry, and then tying with butcher’s twine, if the butcher has not already done this for you. Lard the meat by making holes lengthwise through the roast and then pushing a strip of fat from the bacon through each hole. One of my steel barbecue skewers cuts through the meat nicely and makes a hole about the right size. I use my fingers and, if necessary, my knife sharpener or the dowel of a wooden spoon to push the fat through. A special larding device, of course, does the job easily and quickly (see above for the link). Rub the meat all over with the garlic. If you like, make additional small cuts with a paring knife and insert small slices of garlic into the meat. Cut up your vegetables, so all is ready to go before you start to cook. Cook your pot roast: Heat the butter and oil together under low heat in a deep, heavy pan. Use an oven-proof pan or pot if you have one. (Or you can transfer to a pot suitable for the oven later.) When the butter has melted, add the pot roast and brown the meat under medium heat, turning the meat with tongs so that each side browns nicely. After the meat has browned completely, add the clove, onions, carrots, celery, and wine, with 1 cup of water. If you are making this dish on the stovetop, cover and cook slowly under low to medium heat, so the liquid is kept at a simmer. If you have an oven-proof pan, I find it easier to transfer the pan to the oven and cook at 325°. If you do not have an oven-proof pan, you can move the pot roast from the pan into a pot, but be sure to scrape the bottom of the original pan with a wooden spoon so the liquid contains all of the good-tasting browned pieces from the bottom. Then pour the liquid over the pot roast. The pot roast should cook gently for 3 hours. During that time, every 30 minutes or so, uncover briefly, turn the pot roast gently, and baste it in its juices. After 3 hours, add the tomato paste diluted in 1/2 cup of water. You may need to add additional water to the pot if some has evaporated and the juices become too thick. Continue cooking and braising as above for another 2 hours. The cooking process can be stopped at this time. The meat should be tender enough to flake easily when tested with a fork along one of the corners. If not, continue to cook for an additional hour or so. When the meat is done cooking, it is traditional to leave the meat in the pot with the juices and cooking vegetables until the next day, then reheat an additional 30 minutes to an hour or so before serving. (Refrigerate the pot roast until ready to cook for this final hour.) While the pot roast is reheating, prepare your favorite vegetable to go with the meal. Polenta, small potatoes, and boiled or glazed cut carrots look nice surrounding the pot roast, but any favorite vegetable is fine. Serve your pot roast: When you are ready to serve, take the pot roast out of its cooking pan and place it in the center of a platter. Remove the twine and cut into slices—before or after presenting at the table. Strain the pan juices, and reserve the vegetables to place around the pot roast. They will look brown but should still have some shape and will taste very sweet. Drizzle some of the pan juices over the pot roast and reserve the rest to serve in a gravy boat. Surround your pot roast with prepared vegetables of your choice for the final presentation. Serve and enjoy!

Myself and the family were away for the weekend camping. We took a day trip to Avondale Forest Park, which was newly opened. It was an impressive highline walkway through the woods, which culminated at a towering spiral path. From the top you could pay an extra 2 Euro (a bizarre thing that could have been included in the admission price) and slide down a massive silver slide. I had recently acquired a pair of Rayban Stories sunglasses, so I captured the moment for posterity. It proved to be a perfect first-person perspective on a unique experience, and I couldnt help but feel that it was a metaphor for the creative process. Sometimes we spin around in circles only to emerge elated and energised.

TJ Dillashaw Against Dominick Cruz Preview As excited as I am for the upcoming Condit vs. Lawler fight (especially the Chris Cornell promo….incredible). I just don’t feel that I’d be adding much to the fight by breaking it down that all you ‘smarks’ wouldn’t already have a good grasp on. Instead, my energy has been focused on the upcoming match between TJ Dillashaw and Dominick Cruz for the 135 lb. title. I will finally (since no one ever has) explain why their footwork is dually amazing, yet different. In a way that is hopefully understandable (it’s no small task, surely someone else would’ve done it by now…). This has been one of my most challenging breakdowns by far. And I certainly miss my microphone but think I’ve put together a good blueprint to get everyone started. And more importantly some clarification. Thinking of analogies to make sense of the bob/weave/pivot/hands down stylings of “The Teflon Dom”. And the shifty/ambidextrous/in and out/powerful styling of the Lil’ Ninja was half of the struggle. With Cruz one of the first things that came to mind was an exercise I used to do. I would take a relatively light kettlebell and throw it in the air with one hand and catch with the other rhythmically. The Mongoose Analogy While I don’t have footage of this, it does look similar to his movement. With TJ there is a more linear, forward-backwards – angle – level change approach. Which is incredible as well, but different. So while I couldn’t use the mongoose analogy again (I used it for my Rigondeaux breakdown), I did use the crossover dribble/basketball analogy. I also compared the two to great pugilists from days passed, in the form of Willie Pep, and Marvin Hagler. I didn’t only cover footwork of course, and hopefully, you’ll understand the differences between these two incredible competitors. More so after this and of course, ask me anything that may be unclear. I may make a follow-up video on my other channel of me doing footwork similar to both fighters/emulating them. But anywho……happy holidays, and here goes…..enjoy, cheers!

In a heartfelt social media post, Buggs thanked the city of Detroit and the Lions teammates in a statement that he concluded, “The time has come for me to say goodbye. Detroit 96 Out.” Thank You Detroit For Everything The Past Year Has Been Amazing From Meeting New People Playing With Great Teammates But The Time Has Come For Me To Say Goodbye. Detroit 96 Out. ❤️ — Isaiah D. Buggs (@BigPooh_91) January 2, 2024 The Lions have not made any transactions known, but the NFL does not release the daily transaction wire log until 4 p.m. ET. Buggs fell in and out of favor with the coaching staff in 2023 after joining the Lions in 2022. He was a healthy scratch for several games, though he did work his way back into playing about 40 percent of the defensive snaps over the last four games. Buggs did not log any official statistics in the last two games.

For everyone who hates setting their alarm an hour earlier to hit the gym, scientists may have some good news. Afternoon workouts lead to better outcomes for some people, according to a study published this year. The study, which looked at men who are at risk for or diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, found that participants who exercised in the afternoon experienced more metabolic benefits as well as more positive effects on their exercise performance and fat mass compared to participants who exercised in the morning. Researchers say they don’t know exactly why afternoon training can lead to better results – it’s likely due to a combination of factors and more research is needed – but they can speculate based on what is known about human physiology and biological timing. “Our body has a biological clock, and this regulates many processes in the body and these processes have a rhythm,” said study author Patrick Schrauwen, a professor of Metabolic aspects of Type 2 Diabetes at Maastricht University in the Netherlands. “Some of these are well known, like your body temperature and your blood pressure,” Schrauwen said. Our biological clocks also impact our metabolism and whether our bodies burn fat or carbohydrates at certain times, he added. And for study participants who were obese or at risk for Type 2 diabetes, those fat-burning processes were more optimal in the afternoon hours. Food intake also likely plays a role, said Shawn Arent, professor and chair of the exercise science department at the University of South Carolina. He was not affiliated with the study. “You’ve had more waking hours in the day, you’re more awake, you’ve had a chance to fuel the system a little bit more,” Arent said. Higher body temperatures in the afternoon may also help muscular performance, almost like a built-in daily warm-up.

The world wide web has made it simpler for students all around the world to locate and hire a professional researcher to write their custom research papers. Prior to this, the only way to get a quality effect on a research paper is to cover the full fee for a writer or hire an external agency to write it for you. This may operate up to several million bucks. But, with the help of the internet, the prices for agencies and writers have become vastly reduced. Pupils now have the capability to search several online research papers on their favored topic of choice in order to obtain the one that is right for them. No more do they have to pay an arm and a leg for a writer or agency to have the task finished. Now there are custom research papers available that provide exceptionally professional writing for as little as $20. Furthermore, as a result of lowered cost, students can now spend more time doing things that they enjoy instead of spending hundreds of hours on a subject that they hardly understand. The end result is a higher standard of research and writing that can be used during the entire academic year. Students who choose to use a customized research paper support will often have some sort of focus for what they’re looking for in the mission. For example, those that are looking for extensive information on a subject may wish to seek out newspapers that go into great detail on the subject. Those with shorter assignments could be looking for writings which are very simple in character. Regardless of what the mission is, the writers and researchers involved will know exactly what they are searching for and how they want it written. Consequently, the time it takes to find and assign the proper newspapers is greatly reduced. A fantastic research paper support will have writers with numerous levels of experience. Typically, it’s better to employ a writer with research experience as well as writing experience.1 reason behind this is due to the fact that the author is aware of what he or she’s doing and can be trusted to accurately convey the thoughts in the assignment. Still another reason is that different writers have come up with different ideas, some of which may not be appropriate to the mission. By working with a writer with research experience, the chances of locating an idea that fits just what the student wants are higher. The outcomes of utilizing a research paper service check website for spelling errors are seen in the character of the writing. Many times, the authors involved with the writing process have the ability to create essays that are first. In addition, there’s consistency in the way each paper is written. For instance, there are lots of students who have papers which are very boring while there are also lots of students who write exceptionally intriguing and engaging documents. This consistency is what makes every client satisfied. Overall, anyone who needs to have a quality paper completed will find what they need through online research paper writing services. The research involved in writing a composition will remain required for many assignments. On the other hand, the caliber of the writing process will constantly benefit students using this procedure. This makes sure that the assignment is completely acceptable and grammar check free online english the pupil receives the highest possible grade.

Some suggestions for staying warm in extreme cold weather are to layer your clothes to accommodate for changing weather. The first layer of clothing should by lightweight and able to manage moisture to keep perspiration away from your skin to prevent irritation. A second layer should be able to trap warm air from your body and prevent it from escaping. This will keep your body warm and insulated. The outer layer should be a form of protection from the wind, rain, sleet and/or snow. The outer layer will help protect the insulation layer from getting wet and losing the warm body heat. Your feet will also need weather protection such as insulated socks, shoes or boots. If your feet get wet and cold than you will feel cold all over. If the weather should happen to change and get warmer than a layer can be easily removed. A few suggestions for staying cool in warm weather is to wear lightweight clothing, something that will move your perspiration and heat away from the skin to keep you dry and comfortable. To keep you dry and comfortable fabrics need to breathe and let warm air and water vapor move away from your body to keep your skin dry and irritant free. When choosing a color stray away from darker colors, which tend to absorb more heat, choose fabric that is light in color. Keep your clothes simple. Wear simple styles in pastel colors. Have a summery cardigan to slip on when the evening temperatures drop. Choose light shoes or sandals to keep your feet feeling cool and dry. For Both Warm & Cold Always wear clothing that are loose and will provide you with the freedom of movement. Your skin also needs special care during the changing weather. Winter Skin Care To keep your skin from drying in the cold weather use heavier moisturizers, always wear a foundation, use moisturizing body washes (soap tends to dry the skin), use lukewarm water instead of hot and apply a moisturizer after showering while your skin is still damp. During the winter months wear gloves to keep your hands warm and dry, apply moisturizing cream often. Wearing SPF is just as important in the winter as it is in the summer. The UV rays reflecting off the snow has the added ability to damage your skin. Using SPF of 15 or more is recommended when skiing, snowboarding or enjoying any outdoor sport. Winter is not only damaging to your skin it is also hard on your fingernails. Moisturize your cuticles before going to bed to avoid brittle nails. Protect your hand from harsh cleaning chemicals by wearing rubber gloves. Lips should be protected from the dry, cold air by wearing lipstick or lip moisturizer. Summer Skin Care Always wear SPF when outdoors. The sun is very damaging to our skin. Use moisturizer sparingly under your make-up. To avoid having your make-up run and smudged looking, apply your make-up lightly. Apply a light dusting of powder over the middle part of your face, you�ll absorb the shine but you�ll still have a natural fresh look. Instead of using a heavy matte lipstick apply a light shade of lip-gloss that will give you a fresher cool look.

Monsgeek is a sub-brand of Akko that focuses on high quality for a low price. Monsgeek’s first keyboard was the M1, a 75% aluminum model. Now there is the M1W SP where the W stands for Wireless. I will share with you my experience, the similarities and the differences between these two Monsgeek keyboards. Unlike the regular M1, the M1W SP comes as a complete keyboard. The keyboard comes assembled with switches, keycaps and stabilizers. Of course you can replace or adjust these parts yourself if desired. This has been made as easy as possible. For example, 5-pin sockets are used and the keyboard is easy to open with the supplied Allen key. Bluetooth5.0 / 2.4GHz / USB Type-C 3-Pin / 5-Pin Support 1000Hz In wired and 2.4G mode, 125Hz in Bluetooth mode. MonsGeek Cloud Driver 1. Pre-installed Purple Plate Mount Stabilizer 2. Separate TPU Double-shot Stabilizers Akko V3 Piano Pro PBT Keycaps + Aluminum Case Double-shot Side-printed Gradient Shine-through Windows / macOS / iOS / Android Keyboard×1, Manual×1, Coiled Cable×1, Keycap Puller×1, Switch Puller×1, Teflon Pads (not pre-installed), Separate TPU Double-shot Stabilizers Small changes from M1 to M1W SP Compared to the regular M1, a number of improvements have been made. For example, the rotatable encoder has been slightly improved. It has an improved interior so that it gives even less friction and has become slightly higher. In addition, the poron case foam has become more elastic and the optional teflon stickers have recesses for the screw holes. These teflon stickers are intended for a so-called Force-break mod. As a result, there is less metal-to-metal contact, resulting in less ping. Furthermore, a dip switch has been added next to the caps lock switch. This allows you to choose Mac, Windows or wireless. Furthermore, unlike the regular M1, there are no screw-in stabilizers provided. However, plate mounted stabilizers (pre-lubed) are pre-installed and there is an extra set made with a different material to experiment with. The device still supports screw-in stabilizers however, Opening the Monster like a Geek Although the keyboard is basically ready for use, I still wanted to take a look at the inside of the M1W SP and immediately apply a force-break mod. The keyboard can be easily opened by means of 6 screws, which can be removed using the supplied Allen key. However, it is important to be careful when removing the mainboard because there are two cables attached to it that need to be unplugged. The mainboard is very similar to that of the Monsgeek M1. Here too I notice that there seems to be room for RGB LEDs on the sides. I wonder if they want to release a variant with LEDs on the sides in the future. The sockets again come from Kailh. Some small mods I did a little bit of modding myself. For example, I used the supplied teflon stickers around the screw holes of the frame to eliminate the slight ping. I also placed the supplied tape mod on the back of the mainboard. I left out the bottom foam layer and put a layer of cotton wool in the bottom. This gives a slightly different sound. It’s time for switches B…… The included switches are Akko’s recently released Piano Switches. These are linear switches that operate very smoothly. They have a slightly higher pitch or “clack”. They come well tuned from the factory and I have seen no need to lube them myself. This is also nice with a complete plate. I personally prefer to type with the cream yellows. these feel just a bit more smooth. So many people, so many wishes. Fortunately, there is a lot of choice when it comes to switches. The keycaps that come with the M1W SP are of the so-called stealth type. The fonts are on the front instead of on top. Normally they are not visible, but if you turn on the RGB lighting, they come to life thanks to a small cut-out. There is no glow through the switches, which makes the whole look neat. The encoder does not transmit light. This feels sturdy and has a slightly different interior than the regular M1. It should be a bit more stable, although I’ve never had any problems with the regular M1. They are also interchangeable with each other. If you want to use some other keycaps you can take a look at the collection from Akko here. The big difference with the regular M1 is of course the wireless functionality. The past few days I have used the 2.4ghz connection through the supplied dongle. I experienced no problems and enjoyed the extra space on my desk. I was also curious if there wouldn’t be any problems with the signal between the keyboard and my wireless mouse (Logitech). I had seen a single user write about this online but I did not experience any problem with this. The connection with bluetooth also worked without problems. You connect the device by holding down the FN button in combination with the E R or T key. When it starts flashing you enter pairing mode. the next time you switch to the desired device by short pressing FN together with one of these buttons. The 2.4Ghz is the most stable connection after USB-C. Working with the wireless connection is excellent, just like casual gaming. However, if you want to play competitively in shooters, for example, the USB-C connection is of course recommended if you want the best possible connection. Unlike the regular M1, the M1W SP version does not come with QMK/VIA support. Instead, a proprietary suite is available called Monsgeek Driver. The interface is simply designed and offers various options to personalize the keyboard. For example, it is possible to move keys, create macros and FN layers and adjust the lighting. It is also possible to import custom profiles from other users. However, the encoder cannot be adjusted in terms of functionality. This controls volume or the intensity of the lighting. Verdict of the Monsgeek M1W SP The M1W ISO is an excellent variation on the standard M1. However, in addition to advantages, there are also potential disadvantages. This mainly depends on your own wishes / requirements. The wireless convenience is of course a big plus. The fact that both a 2.4Ghz and 3 different Bluetooth connections are possible is a big plus. In addition, the wired option will of course still be present. Small quality of life improvements such as the improved Teflon stickers with cutouts for the screw holes, better material for the included optional sound-reducing mat and the improved encoder are welcome. The lack of VIA support can be a drawback for people who tweak their keyboard to their own liking. For many people, however, the included software will be sufficient. I do miss the integration of a key tester in the software. The model I tested is the ISO version. I could easily get used to this layout. Although we in the Netherlands are mainly used to ANSI, this is not the case in other parts of Europe. Logitech also supplies mainly in the ISO layout in the Benelux, so there are quite a few people who prefer this layout. This kit is ideal for people who want to get started right away. The keyboard comes with good, smooth switches that don’t need work and high-quality keycaps in a stealthy look. If all this appeals to you but you prefer an ANSI layout, this is also available and you can also choose from two other colors. They can all be viewed on the product page of the M1W series. For this review I tested the M1W SP version which comes complete with switches and keycaps. For the DIY version you can check this link.

Ukraine Ministry of Defense: Terrorists did not seize military equipment of the Air Defense unit of Ukraine Armed Forces in Donetsk. Yesterday, June 29, media citing unofficial sources published information about terrorists seizing air defense systems of the Ukraine Armed Forces in Donetsk. The press and information office of the Ukraine Ministry of Internal Affairs reports that on June 29, on the decision of the Air Forces Commander of Ukraine Armed Forces, the military servicemen and surface-to-air missile regiment in Donetsk were promptly relocated to a designated location. On the territory of the military unit remain only old and unusable military vehicles that were further disabled by the military. Subsequently, terrorists entered the territory of the military unit. All combat vehicles of the military unit of Air Defense of Ukraine Armed Forces are in their designated locations and are on alert to defend the sovereignty of the state airspace.

End use parts at scale and cost We don’t sell 3d-printers, we sell manufacturing solutions to produce quality parts repeatability at a competitive cost, because our customers are in business to make money. Manufacture parts with purpose. VLM is capable of working with resins 100 times more viscous than standard ones. Without a viscosity limitation, a whole new set of ingredients and modifiers can be added to achieve both thermal and mechanical properties. As a result, VLM materials have superior properties and a guaranteed durability, compared to traditional thermosets, achieving parts closer molded thermoplastics. VLM materials and UV light engine ensure a complete chemical crosslink between layers, resulting into an isotropic behavior and equivalent properties in XY than in Z, even in layers of up to 200μm. VLM uses a highly precise light engine that together with sophisticated processing algorithms results into an XY resolution of 23μm. Resolution combined with the ability to laminate thin layers generates a totally smooth surface finish. VLM can directly manufacture multimaterial parts at the same layer. This strategy allow customers to produce geometries that are impossible or extremely expensive to obtain with traditional manufacturing methods geometries; it also reduces assembly steps, and avoid the use of adhesives. From manufacturing short batches of parts to progressively upgrade to a serialised factory. Each system can process 2.5 liters of material per hour, building the manufacturing platform at a velocity of 10 seconds per layer. Automated production workflow All the steps of the process, from the design until the obtention of the final part, are controlled and interlinked throught a seamless software workflow. The interaction of the operator is minimum thanks to the a preconfigured set of parametres across all the manufacturing steps. Thanks to the automatic generation of manufacturing reports, customers can access to all the critical information collected during the diferent manufacturing steps across the VLM ecosystem. VLM Production lines Our solutions are meant to allow customers to scale production with flexibility: multiple VLM systems can be operated with single Wash and Cure systems with an interlinked software, making the entire group behave as a single VLM Production Line to optimize production. Manufacture with margins. A controlled ecosystem for guaranteed results. Open ecosystems are good for Lab experimentation; instead, in a factory floor, predictable and consistent results are required. We have back-to-back control of our ecosystem, which translates into the control that customers need for their production.

Why Book a Session With Angela? First of all, congratulations on thinking about booking a session with anyone. That’s your first step to a better tomorrow. But ok, why book with me? I’ll give you three great reasons: Reason #1 - Results It’s about you getting results. This is far and away the best reason we should work together. I have the credentials, certifications, and experience to steer the ship. You bring the desire to change, and an open mind. When we work together, and you believe in what we are doing, nothing can stop us (or you.) Yes, I make a living at this, but that’s the cherry on top for me. The real passion is in helping others achieve what I have achieved – that true breakthrough, and the elimination of the stress and fears that hold you back. It’s giving you the tools to live your best life, for the rest of your life. See, it isn’t just recognizing things. A true breakthrough is much, much deeper than “this incident happened to me as a child, so now I don’t trust anyone…”. Knowing that fact is important of course, but that’s where most therapy leaves you. What we do with Psych-K® is go deeper, and understand WHY that keeps you from trusting, and HOW you can overcome this, because the learned behaviors that are holding you back are buried DEEP into your subconscious. We dig, create a whole brain state and we change the subconscious. It’s that simple. And results follow. (note: the trusting thing is an example only – your issues may be different.) Reason #2 – It’s Easy Really. Just click here to book a 15-minute session, and off we go. It doesn’t matter where you live – once we’re working together, we’ll get into why things are happening, and how we can go about changing that. If you are local to Bethlehem PA, you can come to my office. If you aren’t, we’ll set up a Skype session (or similar – I’ll work with you here.) Reason #3 – We’ll Get Along Famously I really do get it. I’ve been there. And I want to help. But you have to let me. Fortunately, I have one of those personalities that women and men simply connect with as if we’ve know each other for a long time (or so I’ve been told). I am also persistent. My favorite quote is “persistence trumps talent”. I will not give up on you as long as you don’t give up on yourself. There is nothing that cannot be shifted as long as you are willing to learn how to trust yourself and find the way that works best for you. Together, you and I will find it. Bonus Reason – You Have Nothing to Lose We’ll schedule 15 minutes on me. There’s zero pressure to book any sessions after that - it’s entirely up to you. If I show you value, and you want to book more sessions, great. If you don’t, that’s ok too. Sound Good?

Are you planning a road trip? It can be a very daunting task. You often need answers to certain questions like: where do you start? As the name suggests, it’s an account directed at saving money. A personal savings account is generally for money that you do not intend to use for every day expenses. For the students need for higher education, it has become a necessity to save. Parents and children need to start money management at the earliest. Our car is probably the most indispensable item we can have, so when it breaks down, we have more than one reason to be upset of. 3D printers are a fun invention that is used to print three-dimensional solids from a digital file on a computer.

The 27 Movies (More or Less) Shot on 35mm in 2019 Since I’ve already compiled a shot-on-35mm dossier for each previous year’s US theatrical releases five times, it’s not super-surprising that as soon as the internet learned Detective Pikachu was shot on 35mm, a number of people eagerly tweeted at me to let me know/make sure it wasn’t missed in this year’s edition. Irony poisoning aside, that turns out to be a surprisingly productive place to begin. The official tally of films shot, in whole or part, on 35mm for calendar year 2019 is 27, the total shot solely on 35mm is 18; Pikachu intersects with a number of common refrains. One concerns cost-effectiveness: DP John Mathieson explained to the producers “that when shooting film on set there’s a particular discipline—you roll sound, roll camera, come up to speed and if something goes wrong you cut—unlike in digital where there’s a tendency to just keep the camera rolling and to do takes again and again […] this results in significant overtime costs for the crew over the course of a production, not to mention the hidden dollar costs spent on transcoding, quality control and back-ups. There’s the pricing argument about film versus digital blown straight out of the water.” This is a variation on a common motif I’ve run into while assembling these lists—working on film makes actors and crew more focused—but arguing that film can actually be more cost-effective than digital in general ups the ante. Mathieson is thinking along the same lines as Rachel Morrison, who shot the period biopic Seberg: “In a weird way, when you don’t have money, the small expense of film compared to what you can’t afford, like picture cars and extras, is a very simple solution. It’s like the second you shoot in film, the moving grain and the softness of the image say ‘period.'” (Another period film, Birds of Passage, considered digital high-definition before co-directors Ciro Guerra and Cristina Gallego realized, per DP David Gallego, that “35mm would be a better match, bringing the story closer to a 1960s, ’70s, and early ’80s feel.”) Regardless, Ed Lachman was not able to get Dark Waters shot for film, making it Todd Haynes’s first digital feature: “We did tests and I proved to Participant Media that film was cost effective, but there was such pushback.” Mathieson echoes another colleague when noting that film gives the cinematographer a degree of control digital has taken away: otherwise, “Frames will be lit by committee. You’ll have people over your shoulder, looking at monitors, pointing at spaces to click and change.” Mathieson echoes Rémy Chevrin, speaking of his work on Christophe Honoré’s Sorry Angel: “We live in a day and age when we are seeing the erosion of artistic control, away from DPs and directors, towards other parties who might not share the same artistic vision for a production. […] We must make producers more aware that cinematographers are not button-pushers, and we don’t idly select the equipment from the supermarket of cameras and lenses.” Back to Pikachu, again (now and forever): in another interview, Mathieson hilariously talked trash on its visual quality versus the misbegotten Sonic the Hedgehog movie: “If all we’re talking about is how these two films look, our film is better than Sonic the Hedgehog and I’m sorry, I don’t care who I upset by saying that, but I think it looks better. There’s no reason why you can’t shoot a film like [Detective Pikachu] or Sonic the Hedgehog on film. If you had, [Sonic the Hedgehog] would look more realistic. I look at Sonic the Hedgehog and I just go ‘yeah whatever.'” Film can make vfx look more realistic when integrated, an argument echoed by Star Wars: Episode IX—The Rise of Skywalker DP Dan Mindel. That this final installment was shot on 35mm isn’t a surprise: the last two were and Episode VII helmer J.J. Abrams is a noted 35mm loyalist, stating unambiguously a few years ago that “if film were to go away—and digital is challenging it—then the standard for the highest, best quality would go away.” Mindel is a 35mm specialist whose name comes up a lot in these roundups, and he echoes Mathieson’s reasoning: “Synthetic CG animated and VFX elements are crisp and clean when they are emitted from the computer and can often look false when combined with digital live action. But the improvements in film scanning, combined with post treatment using grain patterns and filmic emulations, mean that the CG and VFX elements blend incredibly well with the live action shot on celluloid […] you simply cannot see the join.” Skywalker intersected with Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood by getting a crucial gear assist in motion. On Tarantino’s production, Robert Richardson wanted to use Panavision’s T Series lenses, but those had been designed solely for digital—fortunately for him, the company’s Dan Sasaki had just retrofitted the rear halves of a set of lenses for Skywalker: as he says, “We realized we’d made a mistake by not making them film-compatible. It’s amazing how much film work we’re doing.” For me, what makes Hollywood the 35mm feat of the year is how right the two fake ’60s films Leonardo DiCaprio’s Rick Dalton starred in look—the grain, colors et al. precisely emulate long-dead film stocks in a way I know longer thought technically possible. How did they do it? No live grain digital overlays here: as f/x supervisor John Dykstra explained in an email: All the period imagery was captured on film and then taken through a dupe process by FotoKem film lab. We made an element off the original negative using print stock, instead of inter-negative that is normally used for this duplication step. We then made a new negative off that print. Using print stock instead of inter-negative increased the grain and contrast of the new negative. We varied the exposure and processing of each step of the duplication to amplify the grain, compress the saturation and increase the contrast. In some cases we added a little degradation, scratches, dirt and gate hair to complete the illusion. Tarantino screens dailies, as did Star Wars: per Mindel, “The proximity of the lab meant we could process and scan the negative overnight, and then review and color the dailies in the 007 Theatre [editor’s note: !!] next morning […] It allowed me to make any adjustment to the on-set lighting for the coming day’s shoot, and for all other departments to evaluate and adjust their work accordingly as well.” Sorry Angel graded its dailies as well, making post-production more cost-effective. For Queen & Slim DP Tat Radcliffe, getting re-acquainted with doing dailies on film was a learning curve, but the real challenge was finding crew “who understood the film cameras, like the loading aspect as fewer people know how to do it. [1st AC] Chris[topher Flurry] was my point man on that.” In previous years, I’ve noted that few new directors seem to be shooting on 35mm unless they’re working on huge studio productions, but this year there are more. One is Queen director Melina Matsoukas, another is Greta Gerwig, who went from Lady Bird‘s digital to 35mm for Little Women. There were five more sophomore feature filmmakers working on 35mm. László Nemes managed to get his debut Son of Saul not just shot and partially released on 35mm, but press-screened that way, so it’s no surprise he shot Sunset on 35mm as well—the format, he says, is “how cinema should defend itself rather than trying to be television and beat it at that ground game. It’s not gonna happen.” Robert Eggers went from digital on The Witch to not just 35mm for The Lighthouse but black-and-white at that. Per DP Jarin Blaschke, “Double X is available, just not hundreds of thousands of feet, which is what we needed. At least we knew the stock we were getting was fresh, so that was an advantage. Kodak needs about a six-week lead time. We gave our first estimate, saw how much we were using and somewhere in the middle of the shoot we put in another order which we hoped they would get to us before we ran out of the first batch.” (The year’s other 35mm black-and-white production was The Painted Bird, for which I can only find the not terribly-illuminating comment from director Vaclav Marhoul that “Film negative is very special […] This is a psychological thriller and if you want to stay true to that form, color will damage that. Black and white is correct, absolutely correct.”) And it’s not surprising that Louis Garrel’s A Faithful Man was on 35mm; so was his first feature, and in that artistic respect he is very much his father Philippe’s son (the elder Garrel has repeatedly said he will stop making films altogether if he can’t shoot on film). Yann Gonzalez’s Knife+Heart was mostly 35mm, although its recreations of vintage gay porn were appropriately shot on 16mm. An extra level of difficulty was added when, for a sequence taking place in a movie theater, the production “decided to play the analog game 100% and screened all the footage that appears on screen with a real 35mm projector that we brought specially to this soon-to-be destroyed movie theater. Synchronizing the screened reels with the action taking place in front of them was a real chore.” Abel Ferrara’s Pasolini premiered in 2014, the first year covered for this survey, but only got release now. The most I could find on its 35mm aspect, via a Google-Translated Italian interview with Ferrara, veers philosophical: projected film runs fast at 24 fps, but the darkness between each frame totals around 10 minutes, “so when we sit in the room and experience these 10 minutes of black, this is the experience of cinema. We all find ourselves dreaming in the dark. With digital, on the other hand, you don’t have this moment—it’s a different experience.We all have a precise memory of the films of the past […] but we don’t know if the digital memory will be the same, if it will have the same power.” Julius Onah made his first feature, 2015’s The Girl is In Trouble, on 35mm, and to date has only shot his features on it: “That’s not to say that there aren’t movies that have been shot electronically that don’t look great or do something really interesting”—The Social Network and Mad Max: Fury Road are the hyper-digital-looking examples he cites—but especially for Luce, adapted from a play and hence “a movie like this where it’s easy for it to feel a little flat because there are a lot of conversations, I love just feeling that grain dancing.” (And, he notes, he won his DP, Larkin Seiple over: he hadn’t done it since film school, but since shot Childish Gambino’s “This is America” music video on film and, Onah speculates, “loves it. I don’t think he might even want to go back now.”) Noah Baumbach has shot both digital and film but prefers the latter: Meyerowitz Stories and Marriage Story are 35mm (and were exhibited on prints as well). Of the latter, DP Robbie Ryan says that “Noah is obsessive about digital fades to black not being very good, so we ended up [practically] doing the fades to black […] Quite a lot of stuff is done in post these days, so you’d leave it to that time, but when there’s fingers on the triggers of the iris, I was like, ‘Ooh! You have Scarlett Johansson crying. I’d better fade at the right time, or she’s going to have to do it again.'” If Baumbach’s digital films (Frances Ha and While We’re Young) still try to look filmic, Harmony Korine leans heavily into whichever format he works with, embracing lo-fi digital enthusiastically in Trash Humpers; for The Beach Bum, he reteamed with Spring Breakers DP Benoit Debie for more saturated 35mm Florida footage. Debie enthused that “the outstanding merit of using LEDs with celluloid film is that you can see and feel the separation of the colors you create on-set. With digital, it’s very difficult to see any layers of color. Take green for example, you can record green digitally, but it’s hard to register the cyan, yellow or red inside this green. But the nuances are all there on film.” A similar enthusiasm for using new technologies to create fresh possibilities for celluloid was taken much further in vociferous 35mm advocate James Gray’s Ad Astra, which faced a logistical problem in capturing enough light to make a lunar chase sequence seem realistically dark without resorting to CG: as DP Hoyte van Hoytema explained, “Our challenge was the inability to light up a big area with a single light source. We needed to cover enough distance to be able to shoot a ‘car chase,’ but double shadows or soft light would be a big giveaway.” Solution: a 35mm camera and an Alexa infrared mounted on a 3D rig, their parallaxes exactly aligned. When only infrared spectrums are captured, daylight skies come out darker, so “shot in natural sunlight, with a slight contrast boost, it will result in images that are brightly lit; however, the skies will be dark, even in helmet reflections. This way, when shooting in a desert that resembles the moon surface, you will get a step closer to the lighting character on the real moon.” But these infrared images come out black-and-white; overlaid with the 35mm capture, the two cameras provide “all the color information and texture needed to complete the final image, by compositing these two together” (plus a CG assist). A quick roll call of notable 16mm 2019 release—including The Souvenir (a 16/digital hybrid), plus the all-16mm Chained for Life (which had a 35mm print made for release) and Give Me Liberty—before covering some 35/digital hybrids. The film which had the most formats this year was almost certainly Jia Zhangke’s Ash is Purest White, whose three parts span the 1980s to 2017. Its middle segment is shot on 35mm, but its opening act goes from miniDV to HD, 2K and 4K, while the third segment is Redcode RAW 6K. For Jia, this ramping up isn’t just to separate periods with time-appropriate gear, but a way “to really recount the evolution and the histories of the DV technology […] you can really see that the quality of the image is somehow getting better and better or sharper and sharper in terms of resolution.” Less overwhelming in its sheer number of formats, director/DP Beniamino Barrese’s documentary portrait of his mom, The Disappearance of My Mother, used both a Sony FS7 and Canon C300 to capture her present life, 16mm for a “casting call” sequence and archival recreations and 35mm for the finale. “That was a big struggle,” he noted. “The producer was always like, ‘Come on, this is such a spoiled film school attitude to just want to shoot on film.'” But, as Barrese observes, that allowed him to use “the ‘mother’ of every filming format, 35mm, for the imagination of my mother’s future.” Two more nonfiction films: assembled from static tableaus of Chinese life captured over 10 years, Wang Xiaoshuai’s Chinese Portrait has precisely 28 35mm shots to go along with its digital component. Todd Douglas Miller’s Apollo 11 was assembled from 16, 35 and 70mm archival footage, although the 35 component was entirely on-the-ground. This year’s weirdest, and most dubious inclusion is Joker, all-digital except for its opening titles, shot on 35mm over an animation stand—as Todd Phillips explains towards the end of this video, this creates grain dancing within the letters of the title and around it, visually connecting back to the late ’70s/early ’80s films Joker is aspiring to emulate. [Edit: there is one 35mm shot in Knives Out, shot on Rian Johnson’s birthday as a present from DP Steve Yedlin, who knew the writer-director was bummed about switching to digital.] To make the de-aging scenes in The Irishman (real title, c’mon: I Heard You Paint Houses) work, 35mm loyalist Martin Scorsese had no choice but to shoot them digitally—the film’s extended epilogue sequence, though, is celluloid. To make digital and film match, an ILM team led by Pabro Helman applied proprietary live grain onto the digital image, though, as DP Rodrigo Prieto (correctly, in my opinion) notes, “There’s a big difference between applying layers of grain on top of an image versus creating an image with grain, so that’s the struggle we sometimes have. I feel it and notice it, but I think that’s irrelevant. For the audience, I think the grain and the LUTs made it pretty coherent.” Less noted as a film/digital hybrid was the Safdie brothers’ Uncut Gems, whose aggressively grainy, overtly “filmic” look is the result of heavily pushing tight 35mm negative one stop. But there’s digital in there too—I’m not sure how much, but one example is the scene of Adam Sandler outside a nightclub. Per colorist Damien Van der Cruyssen, “There are a fair amount of digital scenes in the movie and we really wanted everything to feel cohesive, so we had to have a pipeline and color journey that worked well for digital and film.” That meant, among other things, asking the crew (as Daron James writes) “to shoot additional grain elements that were then scanned at 4K and sampled over the digital scenes.” Let’s finish this year’s round-up with Her Smell, Alex Ross Perry’s first on 35mm, leaping up from the 16mm of his first five features. Most of this was shot in 2-perf, with its concert scenes in 4-perf (“full-on Verhoeven style,” per this interview). As Perry explained in an email: I wanted the aspect ratio that 2-perf would inherently get us, and yes, financially it essentially makes shooting 35mm close(ish) in terms of shooting ratio and cost to shooting Super 16mm. I believe even into the shoot we were still trying to pull off shooting the concert scenes in 65mm, mostly because I have amassed a supply of 65mm short ends and thought they would be fun to use.even wondering if we could change aspect ratios in an extreme way for these scenes. The only thing that prevented us from doing this was camera availability. So then we figured, “Let’s just do full anamorphic 4-perf (which were all at the end of the shoot).” But it is not like we lit 20 days differently in order to match 3 days of 4-perf shooting. We just knew that it would be weird to have flares only present at first and then, despite being a super-wide frame, albeit a flat one, no flares of any kind which is kind of what your eye is trained to want from a frame like that. The dark punchline: the Safdies’ Good Time was the first time Sean Price Williams shot 35mm, while Her Smell marked his first time shooting anamorphic 35mm. The same 2-perf camera bodies were used for both productions, and both were destroyed in a fire last May on the set of Derek Cianfrance’s limited HBO series I Know This Much is True.

Introduction: Section 43B of the Income Tax Act plays a pivotal role in the realm of business taxation, particularly in dictating the terms under which certain business expenses are eligible for deduction. This provision mandates that certain expenses can only be claimed as deductions in the fiscal year they are actually paid, not merely when the obligation arises. The Finance Bill 2023 introduces a significant amendment to this section, specifically targeting transactions with Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). The amendment aims to ensure that businesses make timely payments to MSMEs by disallowing deductions for any delayed payments. This move is designed to bolster the financial health and sustainability of MSMEs, crucial players in the economic fabric of the nation. By examining the intricacies of this amendment, including the definition of micro and small enterprises and the prescribed time limits for payments under the MSMED Act, we gain insight into the legislative intent to support these entities through tax policy. To promote the economic growth and wellness of micro and small entities specifically, the clause (h) was introduced in section 43 b to avoid delayed payments through disallowance of expenses. New clause as per the Act: any sum payable by the assessee to a micro or small enterprise beyond the time limit specified in section 15 of the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 (27 of 2006), Such payments shall be allowed (irrespective of the previous year in which the liability to pay such sum was incurred by the assessee according to the method of accounting regularly employed by him) only in computing the income referred to in section 28 of that previous year in which such sum is actually paid by him. Provided that nothing contained in this section [[except the provisions of clause(h)]] shall apply in relation to any sum which is actually paid by the assessee on or before the due date applicable in his case for furnishing the return of income under sub-section (1) of section 139 in respect of the previous year in which the liability to pay such sum was incurred as aforesaid and the evidence of such payment is furnished by the assessee along with such return. Meaning of Micro enterprise and Small enterprise for the purpose of this section- Micro enterprise A micro enterprise is a company with an investment in plant and machinery not more than 1 crore rupees and annual turnover does not exceed 5 Crore Rupees. Small enterprise A small enterprise is a company with an investment in plant and machinery not more than 10 Crore Rupees and annual turnover does not exceed 50 Crore Rupees. Time limit prescribed in the section 15 of MSMED Act. Section 15 of MSMED Act, 2006 provides where any supplier, supplies any goods or renders any services to any buyer, the buyer shall make payment on or before the date agreed upon between him- If written agreement exists maximum period allowed is 45 days from the date of delivery of goods or services. If no written agreement exist and no objection raise by the buyer than period would be 15 days from the date of delivery of goods or services. Further section 16 of MSMED Act provides where the buyer fails to make payment of the amount to the supplier, he shall be liable to pay compound interest with monthly rests to the supplier on that amount at three times of the bank rate notified by the Reserve Bank. Interest shall be calculated from the date of appointed day. This clause shall be effective from 1st April 2023. Conclusion: The amendment to Section 43B of the Income Tax Act, set to take effect from April 1, 2023, represents a thoughtful legislative effort to fortify the economic standing of MSMEs within the Indian economy. By making the deduction of business expenses contingent upon the timely settlement of dues to MSMEs, the government sends a clear message about the importance of these enterprises. This change not only encourages prompt payments, thereby enhancing the cash flow to MSMEs, but it also aligns with broader objectives of economic equity and support for small-scale industries. As businesses adjust to this new provision, the broader impact on the MSME sector and its contribution to economic growth and development will be an area of keen observation and interest.

North Korea – As Trump Threatens, the Nation Still Struggles with America’s Lethal Legacy “Throughout the world, on any given day, a man, woman or child is likely to be displaced, tortured, killed or ‘disappeared’ … More often than not, the United States shares the blame.” (Amnesty International, 1996.) By Felicity Arbuthnot – Global Research: As the US threatens to decimate North Korea again – if not the entire planet, given Donald Trump’s chillingly casual approach to the use of nuclear weapons – an article (1) has revealed the criminal legacy remaining from America’s last attack, ending sixty four years ago, on a country smaller than Mississippi. (North Korea is a landmass of 120,540 square kilometers, Mississippi is 125,443 square kilometers.) “Experts say it will take a hundred years to clean up all of the unexploded ordnance”, says Major Jong Il Hyon: “but I think it will take much longer.” Major Jong has lost five colleagues in the still ongoing ordnance disposal work and “carries a lighter one gave him before he died. He also bears a scar on his left cheek from a bomb disposal mission gone wrong.” In Hamhung, the country’s second largest city three hundred and seventy mortar rounds were found in an elementary school playground in October last year, with a rusted, lethal round discovered nearby in February this year. “Bombs, mortars and pieces of live ammunition” are still found in “thousands.” “Virtually all of it is American”, but “over a dozen” countries “fought on the US side and every now and then their bombs will turn up as well.” In the region this lethal legacy is mirrored in: “Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and even Japan”, with a “huge amount of unexploded ordnance” needed to be disposed of by those courageous enough to risk their lives, daily, doing it. SafeSubcribe/Instant Unsubscribe - One Email, Every Sunday Morning - So You Miss Nothing - That's It The scale of the regional horror is near incomprehensible. For example: “From 1964 to 1973, the U.S. dropped more than two million tons of ordnance on Laos during 580,000 bombing missions – equal to a planeload of bombs every eight minutes, twenty four hours a day, for nine years …” (2.) It is thought that possibly a third of the bombs did not explode and over twenty thousand people have been killed by unexploded ordnance since. Moreover: “Over 270 million cluster bombs were dropped on Laos during the Vietnam War (210 million more bombs than were dropped on Iraq in 1991, 1998 and 2003 combined); up to 80 million did not detonate.” Less than 1% of these munitions have been destroyed, with commensurate deaths and maimings ongoing. The US is undoubtedly the “Leader of the Free World” in one thing: killing. It is also clearly the undisputed king of overkill and the most murderous of legacies, ensuring it’s actions will never be forgotten or indeed forgiven by the populations affected. Which of course, is why North Korea is trying to ensure it is powerfully enough armed to deter another attack. Whatever it has or has not achieved in this respect, compared to America’s planet threatening nuclear arsenal, it is utterly insignificant, for all Washington’s undiplomatic, bombastic bluster. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson statement regarding North Korea that: “(Trump) has made it clear to me to continue our diplomatic efforts – which we are. As I’ve told others, those diplomatic efforts will continue until the first bomb drops”, is hardly likely to encourage anything but frantic efforts at armed deterrence – whilst still clearing the poisoned legacy from over half a century ago. Major Jong’s “bomb squad is one of nine … one for each province. His unit alone handled 2,900 left over explosives – including bombs, mortars and live artillery shells, last year.” This year: “they have already disposed of about 1,200.” North Korea has said that 400,000 bombs were dropped on the capitol, Pyongyang: “roughly one bomb for every resident at the time.” 32,500 tons of napalm was also dropped on the country. Some bombs are not easily recognizable to the untrained eye, Major Jong pointed out, thus an eleven year old lost his fingers investigating an item he had found. There are a “surprising variety.” He described one as a “butterfly bomb” which had “wing like attachments to disperse small ‘bomblets’ over a wider area.” It was “devised by the Nazis in World War 11. The US revised its design and used them in North Korea”, points out Associated Press. Aging bombs become even more unstable, rust erodes detonators, thus the slightest movement causes them to explode. “I’m sure that my daughter’s generation will also suffer from this problem”, said Major Jong: “I want the world to know.” Historian Charles Armstrong of Columbia University points out that the saturation bombing: “marked something of a turning point for the United States and was followed by the use of an even heavier version during the Vietnam war.” He also makes the point, ignored by the blinkered and apparently supremely ignorant new incumbent in the White House that: “To this day the North Korean Government and media point to the American bombing as a war crime and a major justification for the continued mobilization of the North Korean people – as well as the development of nuclear weapons – in defence against nuclear attacks.” Has anyone on Capitol Hill heard of “cause and effect”? Felicity Arbuthnot is a British freelance journalist who has visited Iraq dozens of times since the 1991 Gulf War. She has written and broadcast widely on Iraq, one of the few journalists to cover Iraq extensively even in the mid-1990’s during the sanctions and reporting on the devastating effects that took place prior to America’s attack that killed over one million civilians.

How to Stop a Winding Up Petition What is a winding up petition? A winding up petition is a legal document filed by a creditor against a company that owes them money. It is a formal demand for the liquidation of the company’s assets to repay the debt owed to the creditor. Essentially, it’s a step towards forcing a company into compulsory liquidation. The creditor must demonstrate to the court that the company is unable to pay its debts, and filing a winding up petition is often seen as a last resort for creditors who have exhausted other attempts to recover what they’re owed. Once the petition is filed, the court will schedule a hearing where the company can present its case. If the court grants the petition, a liquidator will be appointed to sell off the company’s assets and distribute the proceeds to creditors according to a priority order set out in insolvency law. At Expert Commercial Law, we have access to a specialist panel of commercial solicitors experienced in winding up petitions, including licensed insolvency practitioners. If you would like more information on how we can assist you, please do not hesitate to get in touch with our team today. What does it mean to wind up a company? To wind up a company means to bring its operations to an end in an orderly manner. This typically involves selling off its assets, paying off its debts, and distributing any remaining funds or assets to its shareholders or creditors, depending on the specific circumstances and legal requirements. A validation order is a company’s court order used in insolvency proceedings, specifically when a company faces a winding-up petition. It acts as a temporary relief measure, essentially “unfreezing” the company’s bank accounts and validating certain transactions even though the winding-up process is ongoing. Winding up can occur voluntarily or involuntarily. In a voluntary liquidation, the decision is made by the company’s shareholders, often due to reasons such as insolvency, completion of the company’s objectives, or simply because it’s no longer viable to continue operations. An involuntary winding up is typically initiated by creditors through legal actions such as a winding up petition. During the winding up process, a liquidator may be appointed to oversee the process and ensure that assets are appropriately distributed according to legal requirements and priorities. Once all debts are settled and any remaining assets are distributed, the company is dissolved, and it ceases to exist as a legal entity. Issuing a winding up petition Issuing a winding up petition involves formally submitting the petition to the appropriate court. Here’s a general overview of the steps involved in issuing a winding up petition: - Preparation: This may include sending formal demand letters, seeking payment arrangements, or engaging in negotiations with the debtor before issuing a winding up petition. - Legal Advice: It’s advisable for the creditor to seek legal advice from a solicitor or insolvency practitioner experienced in corporate insolvency matters. They can provide guidance on the legal requirements for issuing a winding up petition and help prepare the necessary documentation. - Drafting the Petition: The winding up petition is a formal legal document that sets out details of the debt owed by the debtor company, the grounds for the petition (typically insolvency or inability to pay debts), and other relevant information. The petition must comply with the requirements of the applicable insolvency laws and court procedures. - Filing the Petition: Once the petition is prepared with the relevant witness statements, it must be filed with the appropriate court. The creditor will need to pay a filing fee, and the court will assign a hearing date for the petition. - Serving the Petition: After filing the petition, the creditor is required to serve a copy of the petition on the debtor company at its registered office. This serves as formal notice to the company that a winding up petition has been issued against it. - Court Hearing: On the scheduled hearing date, the court will consider the petition and hear arguments from both the creditor and the debtor company. The court will decide whether to grant the winding up order based on the evidence presented. - Consequences: If the court grants the winding up order, a liquidator will be appointed to wind up the affairs of the company, sell its assets, and distribute the proceeds to creditors according to the priority set out in insolvency law. The company will cease to exist as a legal entity. How to stop a winding up petition Stopping a winding up petition can be a complex and challenging process, especially if the company is unable to pay its debts. However, there are several steps that a company can take to try to stop or challenge a winding up petition: - Negotiate with the Creditor: The company can try to negotiate with the creditor to reach a settlement or payment plan that satisfies the debt. This could involve agreeing to repay the debt in instalments or offering alternative forms of repayment. - Apply for an Injunction: The company can apply to the court for an injunction to temporarily halt the winding up petition proceedings. This may be granted if the company can demonstrate that it has a valid defence against the petition or that there are other compelling reasons to stop the proceedings. - Dispute the Debt: If the company disputes the debt claimed by the creditor, it can file a defence with the court challenging the validity or amount of the debt. The court may adjourn the winding up petition hearing to allow time for the dispute to be resolved. You can dispute the winding up petition once you have applied for an injunction to prevent the petition from being advertised in the London Gazette. - Explore Alternative Solutions: The company may explore alternative solutions to address its financial difficulties, such as restructuring its debts, agreeing a time to pay arrangement, seeking refinancing, or entering into a formal insolvency procedure like entering administration or a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA). - Attend the Court Hearing: If the winding up petition proceeds to a court hearing, the company should ensure that it is represented at the hearing to present its case and argue against the petition. The company may be able to persuade the court to dismiss the petition or grant a more favourable outcome. Overall, stopping a winding up petition requires proactive and decisive action on the part of the company, often with the assistance of legal professionals specialising in insolvency matters.

The NFC Championship Game is on the horizon and the Detroit Lions have added another pass-catcher ahead of their bout against the San Francisco 49ers. NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported on Monday that tight end Zach Ertz signed with the Lions practice squad. Ertz has a chance to be elevated to the active roster ahead of the NFC Title Game. Former Philadelphia Eagle TE Zach Ertz Joins the Detroit Lions The three-time Pro Bowl selection requested to be released by the Arizona Cardinals and was granted that in late November after he came back from a quad injury. Ertz stayed on the open market and waited for the perfect opportunity to present itself. The Lions needed some reinforcement behind rookie tight end Sam LaPorta. Brock Wright suffered a forearm injury in the Divisional Round against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and head coach Dan Campbell said "It doesn't look good". They had also placed tight end James Mitchell on IR on January 13. Ertz now has a chance to establish himself and make a positive impact in the limited chances that will arise. The Stanford product provides the Lions with a savvy veteran pass-catcher in the tight end room. The 35-year-old was selected in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles. Ertz suited up for the Birds from 2013-2021 and established himself as the best tight end to play in Philly. He leads the franchise in receptions (579), receiving yards (6,297), and receiving touchdowns (38) by tight ends. Ertz has a history of performing well in the postseason, logging 36 catches for 381 yards and two touchdowns in eight playoff games. He was a key component in the Eagles offense when they secured Super Bowl LII in 2017. Ertz now has the chance to compete for another championship. More Eagles news and rumors:

Crane systems are ideal for servicing the entire assembly line or logistics unit. Also, for areas that don’t require plant-wide mobility. This mounted equipment is custom designed to your unique specs in either steel or aluminium. Cranes can be securely mounted to the ceiling, roof beam, floor, or floor pillar. Some can be mounted to a forklift or a trolley that can be repositioned manually or by remote control. There are two primary types of crane systems, overhead bridge cranes and jib cranes. Jib cranes Jib cranes are typically floor or column mounted with overhead arms to extend reach up to 6 meters. Options include: - Standard—a versatile option that can be floor or wall mounted to lift up to 125 kg, with a 270-degree swivel, and reach up to 4 meters. - Stainless steel—ideal for heavy loads up to 1000 kg, with 360-degree swivel, and reach up to 4 meters. They are also ATEX-approved for zones 1, 2, 21, and 22. - Lightweight—these aluminium cranes lift large items up to 125 kg, with a 270-degree swivel, and reach up to 6 meters. - Articulating jib—the compact design is ideal for confined spaces, lifting items up to 80 kg, with a 360-degree swivel, and reach of up to 4 meters. - Low-built—ideal for spaces with limited headroom. Lifts up to 80 kg, with a 240-degree swivel, and reach of up to 3 meters. - Portable—custom mounted to a forklift with a custom base to enable lifting almost anywhere flat. Can be combined with hoists and vacuum lifters for maximum efficiency. - Telescopic—the telescopic arm is designed to reach into pallets and containers, through doorways, and to pass goods from one system to the next. Telescopes can be installed in small facilities and areas with low headroom. Lift up to 1500 kg with a bridge span of up to 8 meters. - Low-built—designed to enable girder crane lifting in areas with low ceilings. Lift up to 1500 kg with a bridge span of up to 8 meters. - Monorail and curves—designed to enable lifting in linear and non-linear production lines. They can lift through doorways and hallways, can be extended to girder crane systems, and lift up to 1500 kg with a maximum suspension of 8 meters. - Floor mounted—if the ceiling is uneven, isn’t sturdy, already has cranes, or you require open-air production, floor mounting may be an option. High ceilings are required, and they can lift up to 1500 kg with a bridge span of up to 8 meters. - Single or double girder—single girder is ideal for lighter loads, and a double girder is ideal for heavy loads. Both can lift up to 1500 kg with a bridge span of up to 8 meters. #4 Hoists/Air hoistsFor ultimate precision, accuracy, and control, chain or wire hosts may be your best option. Hoists can be utilized for lifting a variety of boxes and materials and are ideal for large, heavy, and semi-flexible items such as bags. Some can be designed to lift more than one item at a time. Chain hoist Our IP65-rated chain hoists are compliant for outdoor use and use in challenging conditions. This quiet equipment is managed from a safe distance by remote control. The hook can be rotated 360 degrees and can lift up to 2500 kg. High-speed wire hoists When you require speed and precision for lighter loads up to 120 kg, a wire hoist may be all you need. The grip is managed with a single-hand joystick, can tilt and rotate, and can adapt to fit the size of your load. It can also securely hold loads while you unload them. Panel lifter Vacuum-powered suction cups alone max out at around 250 kg. When combined with a hoist, the maximum weight lifted is up to 500 kg. Our panel lifters have a 90-degree vertical and horizontal tilt capacity. They grip, tilt, and rotate large and heavy sheets and panels. #5 Container unloadersContainer unloaders empower your team to quickly and easily unload loose cargo from trucks and containers. These powerful unloaders are designed to decrease the strain on your body by 80 percent or more while drastically decreasing unloading times. They turn many two-person jobs into one-person jobs. Telescopic mounted This container unloader utilizes a vacuum-powered suction cup that is mounted to a telescopic conveyor. It lifts up to 40 kg in less than a second and rotates at 360 degrees. Mobile high-frequency lifter This compact lifter has a flexible arm to easily lift into pallet racks, containers, and trucks. It is a mobile Plug&Play solution so it can be repositioned throughout your plant. #6 Other types of lifting equipmentWe have focused heavily on materials handling equipment available from TAWI. You will also require a variety of mobile and stationary tools to streamline and optimize your warehouse or production plant. You may require any combination of the equipment below: - Forklifts and pallet trucks—easily deliver and redistribute small and large loads. - Hoppers—large funnels that direct loose materials into containers. - Reclaimers—machines that pick up loose materials from the stockpile. - Conveyor systems—seamlessly move materials down the production line. - Automated stackers—move loose materials without hands-on intervention. - Bucket elevators—transport and store bulk items such as sacks of grain. - AS/RS—automated systems that pick, shuttle, and process loose materials. - AGVs—computer-operated trucks that move materials solo using sensors and detectors. - Robotic delivery systems—transfer products from one area of the assembly line to another. - Positioners—ergonomically reposition large and heavy items while working hands-on. - And more—choose from a variety of standard and industry-specific options. What to consider when choosing warehouse lifting equipmentNow that you understand the different types of lifting equipment found in warehouses, it’s time to decide what is right for you. Consider: - Weight capacity—consider the maximum weight of your existing goods but leave a bit of wiggle room in case your product range expands. - Type of load—size, shape, materials, and compliance requirements will help determine which equipment is right for you. - Height of lift—not all warehouses and production facilities have high ceilings. Even with high ceilings, you may already have other equipment installed that would complicate the installation/movement options of your lifting equipment. - Frequency of use—you may want to prioritize what to invest in by the frequency of use, expanding your equipment range as production grows.

We’ve got some easy ( and tasty ) earthquake experiments to share today! Did you know the Earth is made up of large pieces of rock called tectonic plates? Where two tectonic plates meet is called a fault. If two plates rub together at a fault waves of energy ( seismic waves ) come to the surface of the Earth which are felt as an Earthquake. Earthquakes can be different magnitudes, sometimes they are just a small tremor and other times cause huge amounts of damage to the land above. An earthquake of magnitude 3 would be very small, 6 would cause substantial damage and 9 would have catastrophic effects. The amount of damage an earthquake causes is measured by the Mercalli Scale, which is a measure of intensity. This changes depending on the part of the Earthquake being measured. For example damage at the epicentre of an Earthquake would be more than further away from the epicentre. If an Earthquake happens at the bottom of the sea it can push water upwards creating huge waves called tsunamis. Earth like a Peach Imagine the Earth as being like a peach made up of layers. The stone in the middle is the core, while the fleshy part is like the Earth’s mantle which contains magma and the skin is like the crust. Another way to picture this is to make a model of the Earth like this one we made with playdough. Good Foundations – Earthquake Experiment Chocolate brownie or other foundation Earthquake Experiment Instructions Make jelly and a brownie or other foundation layer to test in a tray or on a plate. If you don’t want to use food items, play dough, clay etc would all work well too. Build a tower using the cocktail sticks and jelly sweets. Ours looked like this. We tested our tower on it’s own and then in jelly, flapjack and brownie by counting the number of shakes needed to make it fall over and recorded our observations. Images taken from Snackable Science Earthquake Experiment – Make it fair The same person shook all our towers, so we could try to make sure the same force was used each time. We used a tower of the same height and using the same number of sweets/toothpicks each time. Keep the depth of the foundations the same. What happens if you build a taller tower? What other foundations could you use? Can you think of a way to strengthen your tower? This activity can also be found in my latest book, Snackable Science Earthquake Facts for Kids A seismometer is used to measure the magnitude of an earthquake. Earthquakes are measured on the Richter Scale. Movement of a tectonic plate of just 20cm is enough to set off an earthquake! Small earthquakes can be felt as a slight tremor, but larger earthquakes can cause severe damage, making buildings collapse, causing landslides, flooding and explosions.

Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service operates 31 stations. It employs over 700 people, including operational staff and a range of support staff such as business support, health and safety, equality and diversity, training and development, engineering and workshops, procurement, critical control, performance and support for staff. The work the service does is varied and includes fighting fires, rescuing people, attending road traffic collisions and promoting community safety within local schools and to the wider communities within Cornwall. For over 160 years, His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary independently assessed and reported on the efficiency and effectiveness of police forces and policing, in the public interest. In summer 2017, HMIC (now HMICFRS) took on inspections of England’s fire & rescue services, assessing and reporting on their efficiency, effectiveness and leadership.

College Park Scholars has been coordinating an annual theme for each of the past few years. It’s a chance for students across our community to come together to engage in a shared intellectual experience. Whether it’s trash—our theme from the 2015–2016 academic year—power or something else, we take on a complex, multifaceted problem, work to understand its causes and impacts, and discuss how we might address it with thoughtfulness and creativity. The annual theme and related programming afford us the opportunity to realize on a grand scale an idea that shapes everything we do in Scholars: We learn better when we learn together. Our 2017–2018 theme was “Going Viral: The Spread of Illness, Imagery, and Information in the Modern World.” As with our previous themes, we hosted a variety of events aimed at creating interdisciplinary conversation and intellectual community across Scholars programs. Here is just some of what we learned from this theme this year. 1. You know that one person who never seems to get sick while mysteriously everyone around them does? They’re not actually a super villain—just an “asymptomatic super spreader.” Dr. Don Milton and the researchers behind the CATCH the Virus Study (“CATCH” stands for “Characterizing And Tracking College Health”) are dedicated to figuring out what makes people contagious—particularly in residence halls. This includes “asymptomatic super spreaders” who rarely display symptoms themselves but have the potential to infect those around them. Scholars students had the opportunity to participate, as both research assistants and study subjects, and the study gained significant media attention during this past flu season. The CATCH study will be continuing next year here in the Cambridge Community. 2. Zombie movies aren’t just scary stories; directors have historically used them as allegories about fears around greed or to “stand in” for other kinds of diseases. The film “28 Days Later” (2002) has been described as revitalizing the zombie genre, which has become an incredibly lucrative one thanks to comic books–turned–television shows like “The Walking Dead” and the countless zombie movies that have been made in the last 16 years. But horror director George Romero created our “modern” zombie image back in the late 1960s with his “Night of the Living Dead” series, where themes of fear and hysteria around the unknown were brought (back) to life through staggering reanimated zombies. “28 Days Later” follows suit, with reviews remarking on its balance between traditional horror and political drama. 3. Self-care has gone viral in the last few years, becoming a lucrative multi-billion dollar industry. Self-care apps, like Headspace and Calm, made $15 million in the first quarter of 2018 alone, and a quick Google search reveals countless companies capitalizing on an increased interest in mental, physical and emotional self-care. Though it began as a largely medical concept in the mid-20th century, the term has become considerably more complicated in the present day, with debates over what constitutes self-care regularly generating think pieces on a variety of websites. Regardless, groups like SPARC and events like our traditional finals-week “Puppy Pause” encourage Scholars to take time for themselves when things get most hectic. 4. Memes and image macros can both go viral, but they’re not the same thing—just ask Dr. Tom Holtz. When Dr. Tom Holtz kicked off our “Memes and Other Mysteries” faculty panel in February, he offered a colorful history of the evolution of what we now call the Internet meme—including a few memes that featured him prominently. It turns out a crucial part of this evolution actually centered around the language we use to define the images we share on message boards, in texts and in other social media. One of the first sites that helped turn Internet memes into profit was “I Can Haz Cheeseburger,” a site that allowed users to put text over images to create image macros. Memes, however, have evolved since then—although an amusing photo of a cat with white block text remains iconic. 5. Businesses are strongly invested in the concept of virality, but need to remember to keep it authentic for success. A number of students attending the “Memes and Other Mysteries” faculty panel observed that virality has to happen organically for it to feel truly natural and successful. Attempting to force something to go viral with the use of a hashtag or a YouTube influencer doesn’t resonate with college students in the ways that businesses might hope; the most successful businesses are able to evolve quickly to reach potential audiences. Nike, for example, has been financially successful with this strategy—even if some of their ads left students forgetting the company that created them! 6. If historical figures had had Instagram, maybe some of their ideas would have spread even further. Or maybe they would have gotten a lot of online hate. At ArtsFest this past April, Arts sophomore Miranda Morris imagined what 18th century feminist writer Mary Wollstonecraft might have shared on her Instagram, down to the “Instaenlightened” hashtag at the end of one of her most famous quotes on female beauty. In her artist’s statement, Morris wrote that she “chose to explore the infamous image-based platform’s effects on female self-image,” creating an abstract self portrait that looked much like the kinds of filters that pop up on social media. The piece examined the relationship between social media and reality, but also sparked questions about the ways in which these kinds of inspirational quotes are received in popular culture. In the end, it left viewers wondering just how many followers even such an influential figure might have had and what kinds of anonymous comments she might have faced. 7. The term “fake news” actually means much more than the definition that’s gained traction in popular culture. Kate Starbird winced a bit as she mentioned the omnipresent term “fake news” near the beginning of her lecture, “Muddied Waters: Online Disinformation During Crisis Events,” in April. The term has come to have a distinctly political connotation, but it goes well beyond dismissing various news platforms. In reality, it can refer to clickbait, political propaganda, stories adjusted to manipulate readers and the media, or even “deep fakes”—images that have been doctored or spread with false captions, like the shark on the highway during a hurricane or the Parkland students ripping up the Constitution. The further challenge, Starbird noted, is that corrective information doesn’t work: Even once we’ve received correct information about the doctored image, our brain has already been impacted by the fake. 8. It’s just as important to pay attention to the way viral stories make you feel as how they affect you logically, because disinformation targets emotions. Many of the strategies around assessing information we receive online, whether through a news story or a shared Facebook post, center on the idea of fact-checking and logic. Students are told to find the original source of a story, to check a website like Snopes or to consider where the information is coming from. In her April lecture to College Park Scholars, however, Kate Starbird reminded the standing-room-only audience that these techniques are just the beginning. Disinformation is meant to confuse and create doubt, and in turn demotivate people. Thus, Starbird urged students to also tune in to the way images and stories are impacting them emotionally, to confront their own biases and to use their emotional responses to help motivate them. 9. Hashtags like #MeToo resonate in part because they help people feel they’re not alone, and the arts can be a powerful way to explore that. When then-Scholars student (now alum) Maryam Ghaderi heard about the Me Too Monologues three years ago, she knew the event would resonate in College Park Scholars. For the event, students submit anonymous monologues about identity that are then performed by other students. But the monologues took on new resonance in this year’s performance with the rise of the #MeToo hashtag around sexual harassment and assault, together with the increasing conversation around mental health and college students. A night of monologues, film and letter reading in April culminated in a talkback with the performers, during which one audience member, Justice and Legal Thought sophomore Cydnee Jordan, said that the real power of these performances is the opportunity to see ourselves in stories and to realize what we have in common with one another. That, in turn, helps us to heal. 10. Citizen activism was a potent factor in forcing government action during the AIDS epidemic. The group ACT UP, started in the 1980s, recognized a crucial issue with the state of education around AIDS: It was almost non-existent, and the government was doing little to help that fact. Furthermore, access to treatment—or even information about treatment—was at a premium. Concerned citizens banded together to protest; to demand access to information, drugs, and treatment; and to try to effect lasting change for those who were already running out of time. The 2015 documentary, “How to Survive a Plague,” interspersed interviews with current and surviving HIV activists, physicians and protest participants with footage from that era. Students who viewed the film said they had never before seen this coverage, making this screening and talkback with Scholars Executive Director Marilee Lindemann all the more impactful to end our year. 11. Going viral can be a transformative experience—even if we can’t predict exactly where and how it will happen. Whether it’s the nearly universal glee of dancing to “Gangnam Style” at a wedding (and the videos that flood YouTube documenting that very phenomenon), hashtags helping to get victims of Hurricane Harvey rescued in Houston or something in between, things that go viral help bring people together, to learn from one another and to share with one another. Next year, we’ll push this concept of connection even further with our 2018–2019 annual theme, “Migrations: Populations and Practices on the Move.”

People have come here not because they passionately want to be here, but because they’ve heard this is a place where you’ll get paid really well; not very high expectations; a pretty easy going culture, etc. Take yourself back, if you can, to May 2018. It is a sunny start to the week, a Monday with endless possibilities and, on the banks of the River Wear, two men take their seats. To hear Stewart Donald and Charlie Methven talk was to hear of a new beginning at Sunderland AFC. After years of drift, negligence and waste, factors which had combined to leave this once great club in the third tier for only the second time in its history, here were new owners, bringing with them new words, new ideas, new plans. We’ve given Ellis £40m and in return Ellis has tidied up his debt and that’s now gone. It sounded too good to be true. Debt-free? Really? Yes, we were told, Ellis Short had cleared all debts owing to both him and Security Benefit Corporation, an external lender. Those £34.2m parachute payments? They’d stay in the club too. Sure, they were being used as ‘security’ to ensure the new owners paid up the £40m due to Short in full, but that wouldn’t be an issue. When somebody is owed money…they then need to take some security over the eventuality that we turn around one day and say “we’re not going to pay you”. The thing that is easiest to put that security against is Premier League parachute payments. After all, as Stewart Donald told the Roker Rapport Podcast later that day, ‘I had to show the league £50m to say that I could cover Sunderland. I’ve managed to find that in my piggy bank under the bed somewhere.’ Despite that wiping of the debt, Sunderland still retained significant liabilities, meaning it wasn’t feasible for the new owners to simply pay Short off in full straightaway. As Methven put it, again noting that the purchase price for the club was £40m, asking for someone to pay all that at once would be a tough undertaking. If one had to pay him the full £40m up front and then had to cover everything you need to pay for in the short term that would be a difficult thing to do, that’s an awful lot of cash. He has accepted that he will need to be paid gradually…The £40m will be secured on the parachute payments, but Short won’t take them. Football fans, apart from a sad select few (yes, I’m talking about myself), don’t tend to take much interest in the financial side of things. And nor should they. We watch football to see our team win, not count numbers on a spreadsheet. But that does mean when financial terms, such as ‘security’, are used, confusion can be rife. To some, there was a worry that this did sound a little bit too much like the parachute payments forming some part of the deal. To help provide clarity, when the topic arose a month later on another Roker Rapport Podcast, Donald explained the nature of secured assets. Really, it was nothing more than putting silly old Ellis’ mind at rest. Donald could pay that £40m over the time agreed, of course he could, so the security wasn’t a problem. Once Donald paid off Short, those parachute payments would be freed up, a nice little stockpile for the club to dip into a couple of years down the line. If I don’t pay [Ellis], he’s got a call on those payments…the club has got no debt…I said ‘If you have a charge over the parachute payments, if I didn’t pay you, you don’t need one over the Academy.’ But in the end I just went, ‘Okay, fine, it doesn’t matter ‘cos you’re gonna get paid, so just have the charge.’…as I pay Ellis, which will all be done within two years, he removes those charges. With that out of the way, we cracked on with our new dawn. Players came and went, agents likewise and, by late September, things were looking decent. A loss at Burton Albion had been our first setback in the league, but as Rochdale came to visit on 22 September 2018, we sat fourth in the table, a promising start given initial concerns that it might take a while for a whole new squad to bed in. That day, Methven took to his programme notes to give a financial update, four months into his and Donald’s tenure. Yet there was a marked shift in what had been said previously. Where once fans were under the impression the club was entirely debt-free, now we were told that, actually, £25m of parachute payments had been ‘ring-fenced to pay down bank debt’, a detail that had been mysteriously absent during the press conference of a few months prior. One month further on and the story had shifted ever so slightly again. Now the tale morphed into one such that those parachute payments had also been promised out on transfer liabilities that the club had to meet, as well as that aforementioned debt which we had previously been told no longer existed. The transfer overhang presumably related to the remaining £9m in payments the club was due in 2018/19; after all, the rest were secured in Short’s favour, so they couldn’t be promised to two places at once. In truth, much of this passed by unnoticed. A lot of information had been thrown at people over the past few months and things were going pretty well on the pitch. Some continued to raise the question but by now it was considered as retreading old ground. The parachute payments had been explained sufficiently and, ultimately, though they may have been borrowed by the club’s new owners, they would eventually find their way back into club coffers. Fast forward around seven months, and the Daily Mail broke a story that they said laid bare the reality of Donald and Methven’s purchase of the club. In response to it, Donald admitted that £25m of parachute money had gone to Short, as opposed to Donald himself paying Short and those parachute payments being released from the security they were placed under. But that was fine, we were told, as Donald and Sartori were writing down that same amount. The figures listed as owing from Madrox to the club were diminishing over time as the owners injected funds as and when they were needed. There was nothing to worry about; those funds would be fully replaced over time. Instead of having last summer’s parachute payment to settle these debts, Juan Sartori and I have had to inject our own money and continue to do so even now, effectively writing down the £25m parachute payment that was advanced to Ellis. That’s writing down. Not writing off. A few weeks later, Charlie Methven sat down for a Red and White Army supporters group meeting. Unsurprisingly, the deal and the parachute payments reared their head. Methven, who’d clearly misspoken a year earlier, now sought to put the record straight. Methven appeared to suggest that, regardless of whether a sale had taken place the previous summer or not, the club was on the hook for £25m to SBC, the external lender. Why exactly the figure was £25m when the total debt to SBC was closer to £70m was left unexplained. As was how this revelation tied in with the declaration on day one of their tenure that ‘Sunderland is now debt-free’. With the £25m having been borrowed by Madrox to pay off Short (who was paid off in full in April 2019, over a year ahead of schedule, just before reports of Mark Campbell being close to buying the club came out), Methven was questioned as to the timescale around when those sums would be put back into the club. At first he appeared to suggest that they never would be, before then stating that, as time went on and cash needs arose, the money would be repaid. The only way that wouldn’t happen was if Madrox were to sell the club prior to the full amount being repaid. RAWA: So, in short, the parachute payments from last summer were spent on SBC debt, incurring a debt from Madrox to SAFC, and that debt is being paid off over time. Charlie Methven: In answer to your first question: yes. In answer to your second question: that is the current situation, yes, subject, in future, to what I have already said. On that note, it was interesting that Methven stated the matter would be taken into account when it came to setting a purchase price for the club. CM: In accounting terms, the club is now ‘owed’ around £20 million – so in the event that any new owner came in, there will an adjustment in purchase price. If Madrox stays in charge then the debt remains and gradually gets paid down. As per the above, not leaving £25m of debt to SBC in the SPA is a big ‘win’ for the club. Fair enough again. If a new owner turns up, and the club is still owed a big chunk of money by Madrox, the current ownership will revise their price down accordingly. That way, should the current owners have wanted, oh, I don’t know, £35m for the club once all monies had been paid, but they’ve still got around £20m owing when a new owner rocks up, they’d revise their price down to £15m. Which is good of them. Much water has passed under the bridge since but now, 11 months on from that admission, we sit watching a club that the majority owner has now publicly admitted he wishes to sell. The price he wishes to get for the club appears to be around £35m. He has not come out and said it and nor have any his fellow owners. But it has been widely reported. What is more, an article that appeared on OffThePitch.com in February stated, citing ‘a source close to the club’ that the base level asking price was £35m if the club was not promoted to the Championship this term. I’m inclined to believe the piece is accurate for a couple of reasons, not least because one of the club’s owners is known to have both monitored the site around that period and also retains a relationship with the author of the piece. If we can take that £35m to be accurate, and align it with the £37m purchase price for the club showing in Madrox’s 2018 accounts, that looks like a logical (if still contentious) valuation. After all, in July 2018, Donald told the Roker Rapport Podcast ‘I don’t envisage making money on Sunderland.’ So, presumably, with the asking price set at that level, all those amounts due to the club must have been repaid. Or perhaps not. As we now know following last night’s revelations, the club has written off £20.5m of that debt. The owners remain adamant the money will be repaid but, much like in the past, we have been given no hint of a timescale. What is more, if the debt is to be repaid, we simply must ask: why remove the legal obligation to do so? Given a past history of stories changing and an increasing air of suspicion within the fan base, removing that obligation looks an awfully odd move if the intention remains to replace those funds. The club’s explanation – that FPP demanded this as part of their investment in Madrox – appears questionable. The Madrox investment was not signed until October 2019. The accounts run to July 2019. It is not unknown for accounts to be changed when matters arise after the reporting date that change the nature of the figures, but that isn’t what happened here. There was no investment in place with FPP in July 2019, so, if FPP did demand this, it didn’t take effect until three months later. The suggestion FPP demanded it is, in itself, baffling. Why, we must ask, would investors in Stewart Donald – after all, we have been told they were investing in him rather than our football club – insist on a £20.5m reduction in Sunderland AFC’s assets? Who does that benefit? This is likely to be one of the questions they will have yet another new answer for, so we’ll wait for that with interest. Moreover, the club’s explanation that £11.5m has been injected by Madrox into Sunderland AFC since last July is likely true, bit that doesn’t mean it originated with Madrox’s owners. The figure presumably includes the £9m that FPP loaned to Madrox, in which case that sum hasn’t come out of the pocket of Donald, Methven or Sartori. Alternatively, if they are suggesting the £11.5m is independent of the FPP loan, how does that tally with the club being debt-free? Or breaking even? They are scuppered whichever way they turn. The truth is that asking for £35m for Sunderland AFC in its current state – a third year in League One, dwindling income, high fixed costs and a continued exodus of young talent – would be ambitious at the best of times. When we combine it with the apparent fact that the club was acquired by its current owners for less than half that amount, it is scandalous. Every seller has his price but not every seller is fair about it. As things stand, our club is falling into disrepair (again), and is, according to reports, being hampered by an asking price that is far beyond the realm of reason. The other big revelation from the stories that broke on Friday surrounded Juan Sartori’s purchase of 20% of Madrox shares for a mere £1. Some have tried to split hairs and suggest this bears no relation to the worth placed on the club at the time, but they’d do well to remember that Madrox’s sole asset at the time was the club; indeed, Madrox was set up solely to act as an investment vehicle to buy Sunderland AFC. With that out of the way we should probably consider the response to the above revelation: ‘The club is not privy to the detail of arrangements between the shareholders and directors of its parent company. This is a matter for Madrox.’ That’s a quite incredible cop-out when we consider that multiple Madrox directors have also been directors of the club. But, to make it clear, why don’t we have a look at the document itself? Though plenty weren’t aware, it was (presumably mistakenly) uploaded to Companies House around 18 months ago. We at Wise Men Say have known of its existence for a while, as too have individuals within RAWA; it was only a matter of time before someone in the press did some digging and found it as well. Quite why this deal was made is anyone’s guess. My own personal view, which may be way off, is that bringing Juan Sartori on board helped give the illusion of significant wealth, both to fans and prospective buyers. It’s much easier to demand a higher price if those across the table think one among your number could merrily bankroll the club for years and has no immediate need to sell. Selling for a price that values Madrox and, by extension, the football club at a mere £5 so soon into the new owners’ reign would seem odd anyway, but the plot thickens when we look back on what we were told at the time. After all, the previously reported £3m figure didn’t appear out of thin air. It was a response given by a Madrox shareholder to a direct question. That £3m revelation caused some confusion among the ranks. After all, an asset which had been bought for £40m just a couple of months ago was now being valued at £15m. The explanation, though, again made sense, and allayed fears. That £3m was a ‘deposit’, per Donald, commensurate with the £15m Donald had already put down for the club. Methven later quibbled with the ‘deposit’ wording, instead saying that what Sartori had put in was simply proportionate to what Donald had. In any case, the tale was that as Donald continued to pay all the way up to £40m, so too would Sartori, such that his stake would eventually cost him – by way of some fairly simple mathematics – £8m. Charlie Methven: It’s nothing to do with a deposit. Basically, as we said when we took over the club, we are paying Ellis Short out in stages. What Juan has done is he’s paid his proportion of what has been paid to Ellis thus far. Or is in the process of being paid to Ellis. So Juan has paid £2m, at 20% of the £10m total that has been paid to Ellis. Perhaps someone misspoke. Perhaps editing software sometimes replaces one number with an entirely different one. Or perhaps, just possibly, the comment that £3m was paid for Madrox shares was unlikely to ever be uncovered as untruthful. After all, Sartori’s share purchase was made via a company registered in Uruguay, so we wouldn’t ever be able to verify the price through public documents. Share Purchase Agreements aren’t meant to be public – for good reason – and the evidence seems to point towards this one becoming public erroneously. Had it not, nobody apart from those privy to the deal would have been any the wiser. We could debate why this happened until the cows came home but, ultimately, one fact is clear: the £3m figure cited was not the case. For whatever reason, through whichever motivations, we were told one thing and we now have verifiable evidence that it was not the case. It wasn’t the first instance of this happening since May 2018 and, unfortunately, nor was it the last. Sartori’s impact on the club has been almost non-existent. We were told in November 2019 by Methven that ‘[Juan] will be here on a much more regular basis going forward…I think people can expect to see him an awful lot more going forward.’ Unless Methven was labouring under the misconception that Sunderland fans spend their Christmases in Montevideo, it is difficult to understand what he meant. Sartori has not been at a game since the opening day draw with Oxford United, and there has been absolutely nothing to suggest he is more actively involved with the club. The reality is increasingly clear. It’s fair to worry that the future of a 141-year-old institution has been jeopardised by two men who sold us the world and have delivered anything but. The idea they were well-intentioned takes another hammer blow with each passing revelation, and is further compounded by what appear to be attempts to cover their tracks. One of the remaining arguments for the deal that was done, irrespective of the tale that has followed since, is that it was the only way. Whomever Ellis Short sold to, the argument goes, £25m of debt was remaining that needed to be paid off. Unfortunately this was categorically not the case. At the time of Short’s sale of the club there were numerous deals mooted. Some were bad for the club, granted. But at least one – and we are told a number more – of the potential sales would have involved the club being completely debt-free, period, with none of the club’s income touched. That really would have left all of the parachute payments in the club, much as many felt was the case back in May 2018. For whatever reason, those deals were ultimately dismissed for the one that the current owners brokered. If people didn’t already know, we think they need to just go. How that happens remains to be seen. As some will doubtless be quick to tell us, no one can force an owner to sell a football club against his will. That is true but we have the added complication of a loan to a cohort of American billionaires who, if they were to call said loan in and it cannot be repaid, will assume control of the club. If they call it in and the amount can be repaid, they will possibly walk away for good, and then the future of Sunderland AFC will be in grave doubt. That should not be allowed to come to pass and nor does it have to. For all the animosity now swirling it has been clear during his time on Wearside that Mr Donald likes to be liked. His popularity is at a cripplingly low ebb now, but he can still recover some of it by doing the right thing. That right thing is to pick up the phone and call the individuals who wished to buy this great football club last autumn and ask whether they remain willing to do so. If they reply in the affirmative, he should sell it to them for a fair and reasonable price. If not, he should find another buyer that is right for the club, and sell to them fairly. If he fails to, the club he has long claimed to be acting in the best interests of could cease to exist at all. That would be a shameful legacy, one which fans would never forget. And nor would history.

We are defined by the demands on our time. Our self-worth has become invariably connected to the number of emails and cell phone calls we receive, as long as they’re in public. Once, we collected coup; now we have vibrating Blackberries and knowing looks as we pick up incoming calls. “Sorry… I have to take this…” we say, with a shrug. The person on the phone has somehow become more important than the person in front of us. Our Outlook calendars are no better. “I’d love to get together, but I’m slammed today – I’m triple booked…” I’ve noticed that people who get too many emails and are in too many meetings get nothing done. They attend, they participate, they comment, they weigh in, they critique, but they don’t actually do. It seems like it would be in the corporation’s best interests to keep senior management out of endless meetings, while putting junior people in more so they could learn from their superiors and peers. In other words, shouldn’t you be involved in less bureaucracy the higher you go? It doesn’t work that way, does it? * * * > Meetings are not necessarily collaborative events. They rarely result in the human agenda moving forwards. Approach them with trepidation and avoid them when you can. > Collaborative events don’t have to be “meetings” – they can be instant messages, phone calls, or doorway conversations. The more spontaneous they are, the better (your results may vary, of course, but I find this to be often the case). > Time can be your most valuable asset, so spend it wisely. Sounds like a cliché, so it must be true. * * * When was the last time you had a day with no scheduled meetings at all? I’ve used the system to by benefit by simply booking myself solid all day with the clear intention that I wasn’t going to get sucked into endless meetings. The amount of work, of creativity, and of quality thinking skyrockets when we do this. We don’t have to ignore people when we block ourselves out – in fact, this type of spontaneous collaboration is usually far more productive than the alternative – we simply allow ourselves to work for the sake of function, not form.

In either case, the combination of the value of an investment in the company and the cash they hold will remain the same. Miller and Modigliani thus conclude that dividends are irrelevant, and investors shouldn’t care about the firm’s dividend policy because they can create their own synthetically. However, dividends remain an attractive investment incentive, with additional earnings made available to shareholders. A dividend is the distribution of a company’s earnings to its shareholders and is determined by the company’s board of directors. The company books these dividends as a current liability from the declaration date until the day they are paid to shareholders. The dividend rate can be quoted in terms of the dollar amount each share receives as dividends per share (DPS). In addition to dividend yield, another important performance measure to assess the returns generated from a particular investment accounting and bookkeeping for small business is the total return factor. This figure accounts for interest, dividends, and increases in share price, among other capital gains. If a dividend payout is lean, an investor can instead sell shares to generate the cash they need. - Operating expenses are the costs that are related to the core business activities, while non-operating expenses are the expenses that are not related to the core business operations. - Harold Averkamp (CPA, MBA) has worked as a university accounting instructor, accountant, and consultant for more than 25 years. - Companies distribute stock dividends to their shareholders in a certain proportion to its common shares outstanding. - In other words, although cash dividends are not an expense, they reduce a company’s cash position. - Economists Merton Miller and Franco Modigliani argued that a company’s dividend policy is irrelevant and has no effect on the price of a firm’s stock or its cost of capital. - The first problem is that they don’t pay themselves a reasonable salary. The exception is if the company’s valuation was pricing in high future growth, which the market may correct (i.e. cause the share price to decline) if dividends are announced. Instead, the issuance of dividends is a distribution of profits to shareholders. The formulas for the dividend per share (DPS), dividend yield, and dividend payout ratio are shown below. A Dividend is the distribution of a company’s after-tax profits to its shareholders, either periodically or as a special one-time issuance. Let’s say the stock ABC is trading at $20 per share, and the company pays a quarterly dividend of 10 cents per share. How Does a Share Premium Account Appear on the Balance Sheet? Dividends are residual profits distributed to the shareholders from the retained earnings that the business generates around the year and, therefore, cannot be classified as an expense. Classifying dividends as an expense would allow the business to write them off and report zero profits, potentially evading taxes. The business has to report dividends under the balance sheet’s cash flow statement under the financing activities column. - The concept of dividends often brings up questions for both novice and experienced individuals in the world of finance. - The $100,000 will appear on the corporation’s income statement as interest expense and will reduce the line net income before income tax expense and the line income tax expense. - The goal is for revenues to exceed total expenses, resulting in profitability. This would enable them to bypass the taxation liability and distribute nearly all profits to the shareholders. Yes, dividends payable are recorded as a liability on the balance sheet. The balance sheet is one of the crucial financial statements that show the financial position of a company at a specific point in time. Whether you’re a shareholder or a business owner, understanding the implications of dividends is crucial for making informed decisions. Where do preferred dividends show up on financial statements? More specifically, common shareholders are contractually restricted from receiving dividend payments if preferred shareholders receive nothing. This kind of compounding is why dividends accounted for 42% of the total return of the S&P 500 from 1930 to 2019, according to an analysis by Hartford Funds. Even among companies that do pay dividends, not all shareholders are eligible to receive them equally. Preferred and common stock, as well as different classes of stock, typically earn varying dividends or none at all. Paying the dividends reduces the amount of retained earnings stated in the balance sheet. Simply reserving cash for a future dividend payment has no net impact on the financial statements. Dividends payable represent an obligation that a company owes to its shareholders. When a company declares a dividend but has not yet paid it to the shareholders, the amount of the dividend is recorded as a liability on the balance sheet under the dividends payable. While shares of common stock always have voting rights, if they offer a dividend it isn’t guaranteed. Even if a company has been paying common stock dividends regularly for years, the board of directors can decide to do away with it at any time. To conclude what has been explained above, dividends are expenses for the company as they are not a result of the company’s everyday operations. Dividends, whether cash or stock are a form of return to shareholders for their investment. Funds may also issue regular dividend payments as stated in their investment objectives. Therefore, dividends are paid out of the accumulated accounting profits once all expenses – both operating and non-operating items – have been accounted for. The decision to distribute dividends reflects the company’s priority to return a portion of its earnings to its shareholders, rather than reinvesting that capital back into the business. Dividends on common stock that have been declared by a company but not yet paid to shareholders are called accrued dividends. A dividend’s value is determined on a per-share basis and is to be paid equally to all shareholders of the same class (common, preferred, etc.). A company’s history of dividends is an important factor in many investors’ decision-making process. Dividends tend to be most prized by relatively conservative investors who buy stocks for the long term, and by investors who value the regular income they provide. Dividend-yielding stocks are a component of most portfolios recommended by professional financial advisers. To be honest, when you look at payout ratios, banks always have some room to maneuver each year.

The Iowa Caucus 2024: Donald Trump Is Poised For Victory The first presidential contest of 2024, Iowa caucus, is just around the corner, and according to CNN, Donald Trump is dominating. Harry Enten, a CNN senior data reporter, claimed that Trump has the best poll numbers in the history of the Iowa caucus. The current numbers show Trump leading the Republican candidates in both New Hampshire and Iowa at 46% and 51% respectively. This puts him ahead of Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis, who are hoping for strong showings in the early states. Enten emphasized the strength of Trump’s numbers in Iowa, stating that it is an enormous lead. This lead is significant as Trump is the only candidate to have polled at over 50% in Iowa at this point in the race. This has put him at the top spot in the history of the Iowa Caucus. It is worth noting that while Iowa might not accurately predict the outcome of the upcoming primaries and caucuses in other states, Trump’s lead is worth paying attention to. Although the history of the Iowa caucus shows that winners don’t always lead to overall victory, Donald Trump’s lead in Iowa is something to watch closely in 2024.

You may be at work, at home, or in a waiting room when the mental video clip starts rolling – the one highlighting the slights behind that grudge you hold tight. Painful memories cycle before your mind's eye, reminding you of just how justified your grudge is – from the time the relationship-assailant started flinging barbs your way to the final affront that became the proverbial last straw in your association with him or her. The more your thoughts stir up old wounds, the more you grow from annoyed to seething. The clip ends with you declaring that you are "mad as hell and not going to take it anymore," or some other line-in-the-sand-drawing proclamation. Pulse racing and teeth clenched, you steel yourself to strike back hard if someone dares to utter the overly simplistic suggestion to "just let it go." Why should you "let it go" when you've been wronged and, potentially, wronged for a long time by a relative, friend, or co-worker? Well, you may just want to let go of your grudges, not for the sake of letting the offenders off the hook, but to stop the damage that grudges can cause to your emotional and physical well-being. Moreover, reclaiming your sense of wellness helps to ensure that of your children's, who are watching the way you handle adversity and taking cues from you on how to manage their own conflicts. Holding onto grudges hurts you, emotionally and physically On the surface, nursing a grudge can feel like the right thing to do. After all, grudges signal that someone has crossed a line with us, that our dignity matters, and that we had the strength to stick up for ourselves, either by distancing ourselves from the offender or being guarded and combative whenever the offender is near. However, once we shed the armor of our indignation, we find that holding a grudge doesn't heal the underlying injury. In fact, stewing over past slights causes us to remain stuck in feelings of anger, resentment, and vengefulness. These feelings of unforgiveness then compound the emotional harm by leading to anxiety, depression, or stress which, in turn, can cause us to approach new relationships with defensiveness and distrust. Moreover, the negative feelings sustained by our long-held grudges can take an enormous toll on our physical health. Research has found that people who maintain long-term grudges experienced higher rates of a host of ailments, namely: heart disease, cardiac arrest, high blood pressure, stomach ulcers, arthritis, back problems, headaches, and chronic pain. Given this profound mind-body connection, holding onto a grudge (no matter how seemingly justified) is not worth the damage to our relationship with others, our emotional well-being, or our physical health. If that isn't reason enough to let go of our rancor toward a transgressor, consider that the harmful effects of long-standing grudges also hurt those we most want to protect: our children. Our grudges negatively affect our children, too Choosing to nurse a grudge can induce such stress and depression that it can negatively affect the way we parent our children. "Make no mistake, parental stress has an impact on kids," advises Katie Hurley, a child and adolescent psychotherapist who notes how often her young patients tell her how stressed-out their parents are. In particular, stressed parents exhibit less patience with their children and are quicker to yell at them. Stressed parents are also quicker to yell at each other, at times within earshot of the children. As a result of this heightened tension in the home, children experience their own stress, anxiety, and other negative emotions. If your grudge is also causing you to be depressed, consider that studies have shown that depression negatively affects our parenting, as well. Depressed parents are less emotionally engaged with their children and less likely to adequately socialize children. This, in turn, puts the children at a disadvantage in achieving normal emotional development. Even if a parent isn't stressed or depressed by a grudge, the time that a parent spends dwelling on a grudge means less time spent on fostering an emotionally positive home for a child. According to Dr. Gail Gross, a family and child development expert, emotionally engaged parents who create a home that is "deliberately filled with warmth" enhance a child's emotional well-being, temperament, and ability to cope with stress. Aside from being impacted by a parent's disposition, children are also significantly influenced by the way their parents interact with others. Children watch how their parents react to difficult people, and often imitate parental behavior when they find themselves in similar situations. This is a sobering thought for any parent bent on maintaining grudges. Considering the influence we have as parents in shaping our children's emotional well-being and behavior, it is incumbent upon us to serve as better examples by adopting an attitude of forgiveness. What forgiveness is and what it isn't Whether you decide to forgive your transgressors for your children's sake, your own sake, or because of your spiritual beliefs, forgiveness does not mean excusing the harm done to you. Forgiveness also does not require associating with the person who harmed you. Instead, forgiveness means consciously choosing to let go of hostility towards an offender, whether or not the person apologized, for the sake of moving on from the offense. Importantly, as you shift your thinking away from anger and toward forgiveness, you will stop viewing your past through the lens of how you've been victimized. Adopting a forgiving attitude brings with it significant benefits. Among them: No matter your age, you can choose to reap the benefits of a forgiving attitude at any time. The following tips can help you start incorporating forgiveness into your thoughts and actions: 1 | Reflect on the totality of the circumstances surrounding the grudge Have a final "sit down" with everything the offender did that upset you, reflect on why it hurt you so much, and examine how you've reacted to the wrongdoing since. The goal here is not to re-traumatize yourself, but to understand your reaction to the offense and give yourself the compassion your offender did not. 2 | Consider that the offender might actually deserve your empathy Is the offender herself a victim of abuse or mistreatment? If so, the offender's behavior toward you may have been less about hurting you and more about the offender's misunderstanding of what constitutes acceptable behavior. 3 | Accept that the offender may never own up to the pain he caused you If the offender is aware of how deeply he upset you and still has not sought amends, let go of the expectation that he will – or can – take responsibility for his behavior. Letting go of this expectation frees you from being disappointed each day that your much-owed apology doesn't materialize. 4 | Choose to genuinely forgive When you forgive someone to please your spouse or to keep others from feeling uncomfortable, true forgiveness cannot take root. Instead, forgive because you are determined to move on from past hurts – whether or not you choose to reconcile with the offender – and because you want to stop any emotional or physical damage the grudge may be causing. 5 | Commemorate the forgiveness Forgiving someone who caused you pain is a big step forward that deserves commemorating. If contacting the person who wronged you is unwise or impossible, commemorate your decision to forgive by confiding in someone else whose guidance you trust, or by writing down your reasons for choosing to forgive. 6 | Forgive yourself for holding a grudge Whether you've recoiled from a hurtful situation for several weeks or several years, forgive yourself for taking as long as you took to consider forgiveness as a way of dealing with the offense at issue. 7 | Seek help if the grudge you want to let go of won't let go of you If you are unable to release a grudge after sincere effort, consider seeking guidance from a spiritual leader, a confidante, or a mental health provider. Releasing your hostility toward someone who hurt you can help you see that transgressor as human and flawed, potentially leading you to regain affection for that person, says Karen Swartz, M.D., director of the Mood Disorders Adult Consultation Clinic at The John Hopkins Hospital. In some instances, this may pave the way for a reconciliation. In other cases, reconciliation may be impossible because the offender has passed away, or undesirable because the offender is still abusive or refuses to admit the wrongdoing occurred. Even if reconciliation is not the goal, however, adopting an attitude of forgiveness is a worthy pursuit for its bounty of benefits. Manage your triggers: Grudge-avoidance through slight-avoidance An ounce of (grudge) prevention is worth a pound of (forgiveness) cure. To prevent foreseeable slights from accumulating into the basis for a new grudge, take proactive steps to avoid situations you know will end up making your blood boil. For example, if you have a friend who is consistently and unapologetically late, avoid planning time-sensitive activities with her. If a relative habitually makes comments at your expense, avoid being alone with him, call him less, or put him on speaker when he calls if you think doing so will discourage him from making insulting remarks. If a co-worker has a reputation for stealing credit from others in the office, document all of your hard work and loop your boss into your progress as often as possible to claim all credit due to you. People will do things we find offensive or downright infuriating all of the time, whether those people mean to upset us or not. It's easy to make these slights larger than life by replaying them in our thoughts, over and over, until our sense of indignation practically screams that a grudge is justified. However, you can choose to stop the reel, take steps toward forgiveness, and consider how to better manage your triggers going forward. Think of the health benefits that forgiveness brings to you. If that doesn't stop the tape, think of the health benefits that forgiveness brings to your children.

Who would have thought that when people all over the world were shouting "Happy New Year 2020!" while gazing at the lustrous skies filled with fireworks on January 1st, the next thing we face is a prolonged pandemic of COVID-19. As the whole world is working altogether to fight the invisible enemy, it is undeniable that this pandemic affects everyone in various ways, while simultaneously, everyone has a different reaction to what we are experiencing. COVID-19 pandemic makes us realize that once again, we cannot always control the phenomenons that occur, but we can control what we do about it. Nevertheless, it can be difficult to attain, if we are unable to understand our needs and wants because we are not really attuned to our own thoughts and feelings. Since we spend a lot of time by staying at home, we inevitably become the longest and most loyal companion for our own. Therefore, we can take this opportunity to discover the unseen parts of ourselves and become more aware of what we truly think and feel, without being ashamed or in denial about it. These 5 thought-provoking and inspiring books will allow you to be contemplative about the things that may have been overlooked and help you get to know yourself better. 1. An Oasis in Time by Marilyn Paul The routine that we perform before the quarantine can feel like a long list that we must achieve in order to live a satisfying life. Hence, when the pandemic occurs, there are a number of activities that previously became our bucket list, now delayed to be done, and even failed to obtain. For people who base their worth on their accomplishments, this can be unsettling and even frustrating. Rather than blaming the situation we are currently in, this book encourages us to tune in with our "unmet needs" which are small things that can also bring us contentment, such as taking a hot bath, watching our favorite movies and smelling fresh flowers. It also reminds us of the importance of celebrating small wins, like successfully planting new seeds in the garden or rearranging bookshelves. Furthermore, as the title suggested, An Oasis in Time assures us that it is okay to take a break once in a while because if we do not refuel, we will run on empty. At the end of the day, we must be able to interpret every action that we took and say, "Today was a day well-lived!" instead of merely ticking everything off the task list. 2. Meditations by Marcus Aurelius This book is a collection of reflections by Marcus Aurelius, a Roman emperor and a stoic philosopher. His words of wisdom invite us to focus on, and direct our energy to, what really matters. What happens in the external realm cannot affect us unless we allow them to, and we always have a choice in dealing with various situations. Below are some highlights from the book: "The soul as a sphere in equilibrium: Not grasping at things beyond it or retreating inward. Not fragmenting outward, not sinking back on itself, but ablaze with light and looking at the truth, without and within." "To the world: Your harmony is mine. Whatever time you choose is the right time. Not late, not early." "Your ability to control your thoughts - treat it with respect. It is all that protects your mind from false perceptions - false to your nature, and that of all rational beings. It is what makes thoughtfulness possible, and affection for other people, and submission to the divine." Moreover, as we go through constant transitions in life, it is necessary to be patient with our own transformation and to always have faith towards ourselves, because often times it is not the case of "not" but the "not yet". 3. The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down by Haemin Sunim By being classified into 8 chapters which are Rest, Mindfulness, Passion, Relationship, Love, Life, The Future and Spirituality, this particular book that was written by a Buddhist monk serves as a complete guide to the problems that we often encounter in everyday life. The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down is a gentle reminder to refrain from negativity, in order to cultivate positivity in our life. For reality, in essence, is experienced to the state of one's mind. Therefore, what our mind focuses on, becomes our world. Here are some of the interesting takeaways from the book: "When a deep, honest conversation makes us feel connected to someone, we become very happy. The same deep connection with ourselves is possible by wholly accepting who we are and realizing the enlightened nature of ourselves. This, too, is a source of incomparable happiness and freedom." "When you try to understand something, it is often most effective to set aside your preconceptions and observe it quietly so that the object of your examination reveals what needs to be understood. Instead of diving into the muddy water of your emotion as a way to conquer it, you should observe it from the outside and let it settle down and transform on it is own." The meaningful messages conveyed by Haemin Sunim could be a breath of fresh air for those who are currently feeling distressed. 4. ...And Wisdom Comes Quietly by Helen Exley This book consists of quotes by various philosophers, authors and great thinkers. It radiates so much warmth and tenderness, and acts as a reminder on how to stay calm and collected when we are confronted with the burdens and challenges of the world. This is the type of book that makes you introspective, willing to preserve your inner peace and acknowledge that after all, the world is full of beauty only when the heart is full of love. Some of my most favorite quotes from this book are: "Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not." - Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) "Ultimately we have just one moral duty: to reclaim large areas of peace in ourselves, more and more peace, and to reflect it toward others. And the more peace there is in us, the more peace there will be in our troubled world." - Etty Hillesum (1914 - 1943) 5. Ikigai by Yukari Mitsuhashi Ikigai which means the value of life, is a culture that the Japanese holds dearly. This book explores on a broader and more comprehensive concept of Ikigai, rather than the common understanding of it as a mere intersection of what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs and what you can be paid for. This book explains that Ikigai is not only relating to career, but holistically, about the joy that is found in everyday life and what we believe will result in a fulfilling life as a whole. Discovering Ikigai might be a challenging and lengthy journey for some, but the author emphasized that finding Ikigai is more like strolling slowly in your own neighbourhood rather than embarking on an unknown adventure.

In the summer of 1995, Elder Ephraim (a former abbot of Philotheou Monastery on Mount Athos with a history of restoring and repopulating previous monasteries) sent six monks of Athonite heritage to the Sonoran Desert of Arizona with aims to establish a new monastery in the name of Saint Anthony the Great, the father of monasticism. The fathers began by building the main church, monastic living quarters, the dining hall, and some guest facilities. They also began a vegetable garden, a small vineyard, citrus orchards, and an olive grove amidst the desert landscape. These areas are now interconnected by an elaborate system of gardens, pathways, and gazebos with Spanish fountains. While the entire monastery is dedicated to Saint Anthony the Great, within its grounds are chapels dedicated to Seraphim of Sarov, Demetrius of Thessaloniki, John the Baptist, George the Martyr, Nicholas the Wonderworker, and Panteleimon the Healer. The main church is dedicated to Saint Anthony and Nectarios of Aegina. In the summer of 2008, the building of a new chapel in the name of the Prophet Elias was completed on the hill east of the monastery. The chapel's first liturgy was celebrated on the feast day of the chapel's eponymous prophet. The chapel can be seen from up to five miles away. LifestyleThe monks of St. Anthony's Monastery practice Hesychasm (a mystical tradition of contemplative prayer) and adhere to the cenobitic monasticism. This includes a daily schedule of prayer and work under obedience to their abbot, whom assumes the role of their spiritual father. Their routine begins at midnight with time for personal prayer and spiritual reading, followed by the cycle of morning prayers and the Divine Liturgy. Next is a light breakfast and a period of rest before they begin their work day, attend to their prayers, and complete various tasks until evening. Of these tasks include, but are not limited to: gardening, groundskeeping, construction, vine dressing, woodworking, publishing, icon writing, food preparation, and tending to the hospitality of any guests of the monastery. Their day finishes with evening vespers and dinner. |Prophet Elias Chapel |Tomb of the Saint

Northern Territory Emergency Response – One Year On Tomorrow marks the first anniversary of the Northern Territory Emergency Response (NTER). The response was launched on 21 June 2007 following the recommendations of the Little Children Are Sacred report and its shocking revelations about child abuse in some Indigenous communities. The NTER is an important bipartisan commitment to protect children in Northern Territory (NT) Indigenous communities. The Government supported the NTER in Opposition and welcomes the current Opposition’s ongoing support as the NTER continues to make progress. The NTER has been making important progress over the last 12 months. - Many families in remote communities report feeling safer because of the increased police presence, reduction in alcohol consumption and more night patrols and safe houses in communities. There are currently 51 extra police serving in communities that previously had no police presence at all. - More than 13,000 people are being income managed in 52 communities. Women in many of these communities say the new income management arrangements mean they can buy essentials for their children such as food and clothes. Shopping habits in licensed stores have changed – more is being spent on fresh food, sales of cigarettes have approximately halved and the incidence of ‘humbugging’ has fallen. - School nutrition programs, providing breakfast and lunch for children in 49 communities have resulted in a small, encouraging increase in school attendance rates. - Over 11,000 child health checks have identified children who require surgery. Follow-up treatment, including surgery, is underway. Audiology services have been provided to 669 children, non-surgical dental services to 350 children, 46 children have undergone ENT surgery and 40 children have undergone dental surgery. - 200 additional teachers are being recruited over the next five years to educate the 2000 young people previously not enrolled. - And the Government is investing $813 million in remote Indigenous housing in the NT which will include working with the NT Government to build around 750 new houses and undertaking 2500 housing upgrades. The Government is determined to keep moving forward on this progress. In line with a commitment to an evidence-based approach to Indigenous policy, the Australian Government has commissioned an independent Review to assess the effectiveness of the measures. The NTER Review Board is expected to provide the Australian Government with a final report by 30 September 2008. The review does not mean a slowing in progress. The Government will keep pressing forward with ways to improve child protection in Indigenous communities. The NTER is an important element of the Government’s plan to close the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.

According to the report Hunger in Our Schools 2015, issued by No Kid Hungry/Share Our Strength, three out of four public school teachers say students come to school hungry. These students cannot concentrate, are tired, lack motivation and energy, have poor academic performances or behavior, and are often sick. Ninety-three percent of educators are concerned about the long-term effects of hunger. Many teachers reach into their own pockets to stock their classrooms with food. Debra Youngberg, an Alternative School Teacher at Westfield High School in Chantilly, Virginia, along with members of her team, stocks a closet with food they purchase from Costco. NCTE member Wendy Gassaway of Neil Armstrong Middle School in Oregon writes, “I don’t keep as much as I’d like to, partly because of my own budget and partly because middle schoolers are often too proud to admit they need items. I DO, however, keep granola bars and give them to any kid who says they’re hungry or didn’t eat breakfast.” Policy analyst Erin O’Neill at New Mexico State University writes, “NMSU-Alamogordo has what we call the Aggie Cupboard. Donations are collected, and at least once a month food is distributed to students. Everyone is allowed some choice–students tell me it’s usually about a week’s worth of food for one person, and it really helps some of them to make it to the end of the month.” Edwina Jordan, also an NCTE Member, of Illinois Central College described the food bank supported by faculty and staff “who form an assembly line and place a variety of items in the bags. Next posters will go up to inform anyone in need to come and pick up a bag of food. No questions asked. Each person who shows up at the designated room gets a bag of food.” These teachers and faculty, like many educators, administrators, counselors, and staff in schools, universities, and colleges throughout the world, give food and gift cards to make sure their students eat. In her Presidential Address at the 2015 NCTE Annual Convention, Past President Kathy Short spoke of the issue of hunger through the lens of teaching students about advocacy. “We wanted to go beyond charity . . . and beyond volunteering. . . . We wanted to engage in action that was meaningful and authentic to children.” In describing the hunger project she and her colleagues instituted at their K-5 school, she described their actions as falling under the following advocacy principles: - Advocacy is grounded in knowledge and experience. Kathy’s students analyzed why people go hungry, looking at its causes and figuring out solutions. She said, “Move from charity to action.” - Advocacy meets needs that are genuine and valued. Kathy’s students participated in the “global banquet,” in which a small percentage of students had a lot to eat and the majority very little, emphasizing that enough food does exist in the world but is unevenly distributed. - Advocacy depends on and builds collaborative relationships. Kathy’s students recognized that given the complexity of factors behind world hunger, they needed to work with community and global organizations if they wanted to make a difference. - Advocacy results in mutual exchanges among participants. Her students’ recognition and respect for those struggling with hunger led them to work with organizations engaged in sustainable projects so that families could provide for themselves. Her first graders became particularly interested in the community garden project run by a local food bank. - Advocacy involves the use of strategies within a continuous cycle of action and reflection. This includes direct action, such as raising funds for a classmate facing hunger after the death of a parent; indirect action, as in taking seeds to a community garden; advocacy, such as creating awareness through posters; and research for action, such as gathering and reporting on information. - Advocacy invites voices of participants in decisions. - Advocacy involves civic and global responsibility for social justice. Kathy’s students understood that there are multiple causes for hunger, so they needed to seek solutions that could lead to social change. If power leads to the unequal distribution of food and hence hunger, then everyone needs to help the hungry. As these stories illustrate, NCTE members are advocating on behalf of their students’ needs, and they’re raising their students’ awareness of the role they can play in doing the same for others. This is just a glimpse into how teachers are taking on the role of advocate, and as we begin the new year, we’ll share many more. Thanks to educators who get involved, 2016 will be an exciting year of change. We look forward to being part of that change with you!

Spring in Minnesota is kind of gross. It seems that from March until May, Instagram is full of daffodils, cherry blossoms, sunshine, dewdrops, wildflowers blooming in green grass, playgrounds and soccer games, baseball fields and patio dinners. Meanwhile, here in my beloved state of Minnesota, spring is . . . delayed. It’s cold, wet, gray. My mudroom is laden with galoshes, raincoats, thick hats, winter boots, hoodies, puffy jackets, and mittens. We need all the things because in the span of a week (or a day) we will need combinations of all of the above. March brings a raw chill you feel in your bones; March is still winter. April brings showers, yes, but the gray, drizzly, cold kind that turns the ground, finally unearthed from snow cover, into thick, stodgy mud. April is Easter egg hunts indoors and parkas over taffeta dresses to church. May brings the hope of an even keel, and yet we can go from sixty-three degrees and rainy to ninety-two with tornadoes — in one day. It can snowstorm in May, and it can also be sunny and mild, beautiful like it was fifteen years ago on my May wedding day. We just don’t know what the weather will bring, so we count on spring to arrive by June. June is when we join the rest of Instagram, four months too late, in sharing our wildflower and soccer game pictures. June is when we sit out on patios, dig our garden beds, and open up our pools. June is when we wash and put away the winter gear. Doing any of that before June is a wild act of defiant hope. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love Minnesota. Our summers are hot and sunny, our autumns are breathtakingly beautiful and crisp, and our winters can be fun and cozy (In the winter, we like to live by the saying “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.”). But even with my love for our distinct four seasons, I have to admit our springs are just kind of gross. By June, the growing things have done the hard work of coming back to life. My hostas return, year after year, pushing up through barely unfrozen ground and old mulch and leaves left unraked from the fall. They’re such simple plants, but they truly amaze me with their persistence. I think of them wintering under snow and ice, soaking in the spring rains via the muddy ground, feeling the dry warmth of early summer, and up they come to bless us with their lush, green leaves. I don’t do a single thing to help them along, and maybe that’s why they blow me away each year. And oh, what they teach me about returning, about faithfulness, about determination and purpose, about coming back and coming back to life. Because it’s not linear, returning to life. The soul has to breathe, in and out, learning to trust and choose the light. It’s not a one-time happening. We have to choose coming back to life each and every day. Some of us have to choose each and every hour, minute, breath. Jesus was — and is — in the business of bringing things back to life. Not just the actual dead people He resurrected, though those miracles are mind-blowing. He also raises us up when we feel buried, when our souls are quiet and our hearts barely beat. The other day, I came across a quote that made my eyes well instantly. I’d read it before, underlined it in my old copy of a favorite book. But this time it made me think of my Jesus and His life-giving-ness. After a long, cold, snowy Minnesota winter, I had my first outdoor walk a couple of weeks ago. It felt like a small way I was coming back to life, and yet it hurt. My calf muscles burned, my breath was ragged, and as I rounded the corner to home I realized that even my feet were sore. And yet, it all felt like good pain, if there is such a thing. There is pain in coming back to life, but underneath it is a quiet and indefatigable joy. It can hurt to be resurrected. Beauty from ashes hurts because fire first burns. I would wager that both Lazarus and Jairus’ daughter were not without scars from their deaths or fear from their resurrections. We too can harbor old pain, wounds, and fears, but Jesus breathes new life, right into our very bones. And like my doggedly persistent hostas willing themselves through the ground once more to meet the light, we too can be brought back to life.

Air abrasion is a drill-less technique that is used by Dr. Buchmann to remove tooth decay and for other applications. It allows for the removal of decay without anesthetic. Is Air Abrasion Safe? Yes. The only precautions needed before air abrasion are protective eye wear (to prevent eye irritation from the spray) and the use of a rubber dam (a rubber sheet that fits around teeth) or protective resin applied to nearby teeth and gums to protect areas of the mouth that aren't being treated. What Are the Advantages of Air Abrasion? Compared with the traditional drilling method, the advantages of air abrasion are many and include the following: - Air abrasion generates no heat, sound, pressure or vibration. - Air abrasion reduces the need for anesthesia, particularly if the cavity is shallow. - Air abrasion leaves much more of the healthy tooth tissue behind. - Air abrasion leaves the working area relatively dry, which is an advantage during the placement of composite fillings. - Air abrasion reduces the risk of microfracturing and chipping of the tooth, which some experts believe can lead to premature restorative failures. - Air abrasion allows the dentist to treat multiple sites in the mouth during a single visit. - The procedure is relatively simple and quick. What Are the Disadvantages? - Air abrasion is not necessarily totally painless. The air can cause sensitivity and so can the abrasives used. - Air abrasion is not recommended for deep cavities (those close to the tooth's pulp). It is best suited for removing small cavities that form early on the surface of teeth. - Only composite filling material can be used following air abrasion because it adheres well to the smooth surface created by the air abrasion (amalgam or silver fillings require drill-based cuts to prevent the filling from falling out). Who Are the Best Candidates for Air Abrasion Procedures? Air abrasion is ideal for use in children and others who are fearful and have minimal decay. What Other Types of Procedures Are Performed With Air Abrasion? Air abrasion can also be used to: - Remove some old composite restorations, but not metallic restorations such as silver amalgam fillings - Prepare a tooth surface for bonding or sealants - Remove superficial stains and tooth discolorations

This Tucson baker wants others to follow the grain — to its Indigenous and Latino roots “Local” has been a buzzword in the food world for a long time now — locally sourced ingredients, from local farms, contributing to the local economy. But Don Guerra takes the concept to a whole new level. Guerra is the owner and baker at Barrio Bread in Tucson, and he has become a leader in what’s being called the local-grain movement — baking bread with heritage grains that have roots in the Southwest that go back to the Spanish missionaries when they first came to this part of the world. He’s been doing it for most of his career, but now he’s getting national attention — including with a recent profile in the New York Times. The Show spoke with him to learn about his craft and the ancient grains he’s reviving.

Man With a Van Thornbury Gloucestershire (BS35): Need help transporting furniture or large items around Thornbury? Consider hiring a local for an affordable and convenient solution. If you have a smaller load, a man with a van service is a better option than traditional removal companies in Thornbury because you won't have to pay for an unnecessarily large vehicle. Choose a dependable man with a van for a proficient and professional service, encompassing the transport of your belongings to various destinations across the United Kingdom and Europe. The greater flexibility provided by your localservice, means that whatever heavy lifting scenario you have around your office or home in Thornbury, it can be quickly and easily handled. When you've purchased a bulky item from an online auction site such as Shpock, Facebook marketplace, Ebay or Gumtree, and home delivery isn't included, your man with a van can be perfect for such collections. Therefore, if you find that perfect piano which states "collection only", call your local Thornbury man with a van for a transportation quote. When you're doing a apartment or house move within the local Thornbury area,is ideally suited to the numerous short distance trips that are needed. Some folks in Thornbury go down the self-drive hire van route, which is of course fine, but what you must remember is the fact that you'll have to do all of the loading/unloading yourself without the benefit of that extra pair of hands. Ahead of the move commencing you will have to determine whether you're going to help with readying the items for removal, and give assistance with loading the initial vehicle if you are willing and able. Upon delivery of this first load to your new home, the driver and van will then return to your old property in Thornbury and collect any outstanding loads by himself, in the meantime you can concentrate on the job of unboxing and organising your treasured items. The shape, weight and size of your goods will determine the size and type of van you'll need to book to safely transport them. So that the whole process of lifting your goods in and out of the van will be easier, you might have to book a vehicle with a tail lift (a box or Luton style van perhaps), so that accidents can be avoided. If you've got easy access to such a vehicle, you might be able to do your own bulky removals, but for many householders in Thornbury, the only way will be to talk to a local man with a van provider or removal firm (though ais going to be less costly). You might have already noticed lots of offers and deals for such services on the web and in leaflets, and with the demand for these man and van services in Thornbury increasing, this pattern is set to continue. But, how can you identify the most cost effective option and pick the best man with a van in Thornbury? OBTAINING A QUOTE It pays in the long run to get severalquotes, even if you need something last minute and you are in a bit of a panic. It is in your best interest to be truthful and honest about the size and amount of items which are involved in the move. This ensures that any quotations you receive will be as accurate as possible, and you will know precisely what you will be expected to pay prior to moving day. As soon as you've got a price you are happy with, make sure it's put down in writing to avoid any billing issues later, and under no circumstances agree to pay the whole fee upfront. Checking whether insurance coverage has been included in any quotation that you've been given by a man with a van service in Thornbury is important. Providing much cheaper quotations than would otherwise be possible, some man with a van companies shift the obligation onto you when it comes to insurance. Accepting one of these uninsured price quotes means that you'll have to arrange your own insurance, which will of course add to the overall cost. There are 3rd party insurance providers who will provide you with cover for removals and for personal possessions in transit. It is vital to ask about the level of insurance your items will receive during transport and packing/unpacking if it hasn't been noted in the quotation. If any of your neighbours and friends in Thornbury have used a man with a van in the past, you could ask for a recommendation, since spoken testimonials are the best. Even if a particular man and van service has received a glowing recommendation, it's still necessary to carry out the standard checks regarding insurance, pricing policies and van size. If you've explained your needs correctly you might not see the necessity for a man with a van to come and inspect your items in person, but you should not feel affronted if they insist on doing so. This is mainly done to make certain that an appropriately sized vehicle shows up on the day and that enough workers are allocated to accomplish the move successfully. There are details you may not have thought of, such as the number of floors/stairs to negotiate, parking difficulties and other issues, and these things could all have an affect on the preliminary quotation, which could go up or down as a consequence. Each man with a van service in Thornbury will have their own pricing structure, although there are a few main things which could affect the final bill: - The total distance between and delivery. - The time needed for pickup and delivery. - If packaging supplies and packaging/unpacking of items is necessary. - Weight, size and amount of items to be moved. - How much preparation and loading work you'll do on the day. - Toll roads, ferries or overnight stops. - Size and type of van needed. - How many people are required for the task. It can be especially beneficial to locate a man and van service that applies a fixed fee structure where you have constrained budget requirements. For the pickup, transport and drop-off of items to your premises in Thornbury within a localised area over a shorter time period, this can work out really nicely. Being charged on a fixed hourly rate, with a minimum charge can be a great deal in some circumstances, but close consideration of the chosen route between pick-up and destination is crucial. You ought to consider any scheduled road works, notorious bottlenecks and any other problems that might have a negative effect on the estimated travel time. You will see an escalation in the number of hours you are charged for if the delivery van gets held up in school run or rush hour traffic. There might also be unexpected issues that are outside of your control, such as difficulties with collecting keys from a property agent or a landlord. In which instance you will be charged a fixed fee per hour for any delay that arises. THE DAY OF REMOVAL (What You Can Expect to Happen on Moving Day) Preparation before the day of removal will help the move go smoothly. A space to park the van will need to be arranged as near as possible to the entry point to your home. Car parking is often a serious issue if it isn't planned for in advance, and neighbours may need to be approached for their cooperation to create sufficient space for a van to pull up. Each container you pack prior to removal day should have a detailed contents list attached to the exterior and be properly sealed for transporting. This will help with any insurance claim if the need arises, but more crucially help your man with a van service get all the items safely loaded into the vehicle. You must have a detailed inventory of your items which you can check off the list as it is packed away, if you have chosen a packing and delivery option from the man with a van. It is useful to have an "essentials" box which can be the first container to be unloaded at the destination. Just ensure that this is the final box to be loaded on the vehicle before it sets off. For the majority of folks this will include a kettle with coffee and tea making facilities, baby or children's items (food, nappies, a favourite toy etc) and perhaps even a couple of toilet rolls! Special mention must be made if you are planning to move abroad, particularly to an EU country. For the safe delivery of particular items to an overseas address, for example to an ex-pat friend or relative, or your own holiday home, you could still use the services of a man with a van. In contrast to a postal or international courier service which might pass through many check points and in/out of different trucks along the route, a man with a van will keep your valuable possessions in just one, secure van from pick up to drop off. You should be able to track down that perfect man with a van in Thornbury who can help you with all of your overseas moving needs. From reserving an entire van or truck, to finding space for a parcel or other individual item there are regular man with a van services to a number of destinations throughout Europe. With app based vehicle tracking, guaranteed delivery windows and fixed prices between the UK and towns and cities across the EU, it's an affordable means to move your items to your destination of choice.

The good news is, a localis usually on hand to help university students get their items moved, and take the worry out of the situation.

What Kind of Fellowship is Renewed Hope Ministries? We are an Apostolic, Prophetic, Charismatic non denominational Christian Congregation. We follow an Evangelical Christian belief system; including key cardinal Christian beliefs: We believe the whole bible is the inspired word of God, the Trinity, the virgin conception of Jesus Christ, His sinless life, resurrection, ascension, atonement, the ministry of the Holy Spirit, fall of man, repentance, salvation, water and Holy Spirit baptism, deliverance, rebirth of Israel as a nation, Christ’s second coming, final judgment, new heavens and earth, laying on of hands, healing, tithing, offerings and giving alms, prophetic and fivefold ministry. We meet corporately as a church made up of a community of believers. We celebrate the Seventh day Sabbath, Passover, Pentecost, Rosh Hashanah, Atonement, Tabernacles, Hanukkah, Purim and practice Davidic Style Worship. We believe in Jesus Christ as the Messiah, and function like the Antioch First Century Church planted by the Apostle Paul. We follow the example of Jesus and Paul by embracing the Tanakh (O.T.) and the Apostolic Writings (N.T.) as the seamless Word of God. Is Renewed Hope Ministries a Church? The term “synagogue” is used in the New Testament Apostolic scriptures (James 2:2), although most modern translations substitute other terms, such as assembly or meeting which simply means a gathering or congregation. The word ekklesia, usually translated as church was used by early believers to designate their meetings. So referring to our congregational meetings as a church, congregation, community or fellowship simply identifies us as a fellowship of believers in Jesus Christ. Many times we will simply use the term congregation or fellowship to refer to our community of believers. Ultimately, we recognize that Jesus’ congregation consists of people, not buildings. We use the word ministries because our mission is to worship, reach, teach, and send. Is Renewed Hope Ministries associated with any larger Denomination or Network? Renewed Hope Ministries does not have any official connection to religious denominations. We do network with ministry groups locally, regionally and internationally. While we are a community of believers committed to each other, we are always desirous of fellowship with those who confess Jesus Christ and desire to walk in His ways. What do we mean by an Antioch Congregation? Sometimes there is a significant amount of misunderstanding, even among believers and congregations who call themselves Antioch, Forerunners or Messianic Congregations, these churches do so for a variety of reasons. The term Messianic is derived from the Hebrew word Mashiach, from which we get the English word, Messiah. The first century church of Antioch in Acts 11:26, chapters 11-18, Gal. 2:11, and 2 Tim 3:11, was an Apostolic, Prophetic church planted by the Apostle Paul and became the Forerunner pattern for the developing churches. It was known as the place where they were first called Christians. They came under persecution for practicing the Torah free of the oral laws and traditions of the Jewish Elders. In Acts 14:19 they even stoned Paul for these teachings and practices. We understand this today as the Hebraic Roots Movement. In the first century these churches function and practices came directly from the original twelve apostles and the discipled leaders they trained. The methods and practices of these churches were approved of by the Apostolic Council of Jerusalem in Acts 15. In the third century, Constantine and the Roman Church began a systematic deconstruction of these original churches and the elimination of all Hebraic practices (Acts 15, Torah, Feasts, Sabbaths etc.). The benchmark for this activity officially began at the council of Nicaea 325 A.D. At Renewed Hope we understand these differences and choose to remain a fellowship that follows the practices of the Antioch first century churches. What does Grafted In mean? Jesus’ Hebrew name is Yeshua, Hebrew for Yahweh’s Salvation. Thus the term Messiah finds its meaning and fulfillment in Yeshua, or Jesus Christ the Messiah. He has grafted gentiles into Abraham’s Olive Tree (Romans 11), and made us partakers with Jewish Messianic believers in the rich root of the olive tree as illustrated below. The rich root being the commonwealth of Israel and the covenants of promise given to them by Himself through the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Grafted in does not mean we become spiritual Israel. “But I am speaking to you who are Gentiles. In as much then as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I magnify my ministry... But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree, do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you.”– Romans 11:13, 17, 18, NASB. A wonderful truth is being revealed here. What does it mean for Paul to say that the “wild olive branch” is grafted into the cultivated olive tree? Through the ministry of Jesus Christ the Messiah, Gentile believers (wild olive branches) are covenant–bound (grafted on) to Israel (Abraham’s Olive Tree). Therefore Gentile believers are fellow citizens and full-participants with the Commonwealth of Israel (Eph. 2) and are granted the divine privilege of salvation through the shed blood of Jesus Christ and the privilege to follow the entire Word of God. We believe that God has written His Laws in the hearts of those who have placed their trust in the redeeming blood of Jesus Christ of Nazareth (Jer. 31:31- 34; Heb. 8:7-12). We believe that His Laws are the revelation of God’s righteousness and serve as a description along with the rest of the Scriptures to the lifestyle of those who are grafted in. (James 1:16-27). Furthermore, the words “Grafted In,” memorialize the affirmation of our true identity as a people, Jew and Gentile, securely rooted in the finished work of Jesus Christ. If you have professed Jesus Christ as your Savior and Messiah you are Grafted In. Why do you meet on Saturday? Saturday, or Sabbath, is the day of the corporate gathering set forth in the Torah (first five books of the Bible) and Apostolic Writings (N.T.). We believe that God gave to us Sabbath as a continuing sign of His covenant promises (Gen. 2:1-2; Ex. 20:8-11; 31:12-17; 35:1-3) and His love for us. As we keep Sabbath, we remember that it is a reminder of the spiritual rest we have through Jesus Christ’s work on our behalf, and a foreshadowing of the eternal rest we will enjoy in the world to come. Sabbath begins Friday evening at sunset and ends Saturday at sunset. Traditionally a Friday evening meal marks the beginning of Sabbath know in Hebrew as “Erev Shabbat. Many of us at Renewed Hope Ministries have dinner in our homes and enjoy family, friends, and guests joining us on Sabbath. Why do we celebrate The Feasts of the Lord and other Biblical Celebrations? The Feasts of the Lord teach us about the nature of Jesus Christ and His plan for mankind. The Feasts of the Lord including the Seventh Day Sabbath are not antiquated tangents to faith but are in fact legitimate shadows or models of God’s truth. This is something that should be explored in a positive way not shunned as legalism. Passover is rich in the symbolism of the Messiah’s death, burial and resurrection. Pentecost is about the law written on the heart and the Holy Spirit being given to the church in order to give it life and power. Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Tabernacles are not obsolete, but continue to declare the reality of Jesus Christ’s return to this earth. In short, all of the Feasts of the Lord were given to Israel, and to grafted-in believers to teach in a practical way more about God’s plan for the church and the world (Rom. 11). When taught and practiced with the right spirit, there are some exciting revelations and truths waiting to be discovered through participation in the Appointed Times. Why do I hear different terms used for the Old and New Testament? We avoid the terms Old and New because they often communicate ideas which are in inferior. For instance, “old” usually means worn-out, out-of-date, used-up, and “new” often connotes contemporary, fresh, unused, or up-to-date. We believe that all of the Scriptures are profitable for our growth in Jesus Christ, and that the Apostolic Scriptures written by the Apostles do not contradict or supersede the Scriptures written by Moses and the Prophets. Therefore, we often use the terms that reflect the scriptures as one seamless book that is not old or new. The first five books of the Bible also known as the Torah are followed by the Prophets and The Writings these combined together are commonly referred to as the Old Testament. The traditional word for Torah, Prophets, and Writings is Tanakh. At times you will hear all of these terms used including the term Apostolic Scriptures to denote what is commonly referred to as the New Testament. Some people use the term “Brit Hadasha,” this is actually the Hebrew word for New Testament. Why do I sometimes hear Hebrew words used? Hebrew words are rich in their meaning. By using and understanding some of the Hebrew words, we believe we get more revelation of what the text is really saying. You don’t have to speak Hebrew to become a part of our fellowship. We do not mandate that anyone use or pronounce Hebrew neither do we forbid it. In fact, we welcome, encourage and celebrate the revelation and meaning of Hebrew and how it correlates to the English language. All of our services and Appointed Times are celebrated in English. If Hebrew is used publically it will be followed by the English translation. Why do I hear people use the name Yahweh? I am or Adonai is used because Yahweh revealed to us through Moses that this is His name forever. It is His memorial name to each and every generation (Ex. 3:13- 15). It is found in 6000+ places in the Bible. This name conveys the concept that Yahweh is forever and always present with us, His people. Theologically, speaking it is simple but profound and means Faithful Presence. We do not mandate or expect that anyone use or pronounce this name, but neither do we forbid it. In fact we welcome encourage and celebrate the revelation and meaning of His name in all its various languages. Why do I hear people use the name “Yeshua”? Yeshua is the Hebrew name of Jesus Christ. Hebrew names have meanings that reveal the character, purposes and or significant events surrounding a person’s life. For instance, Yeshua means Yahweh’s Salvation. The angel told Mary to name her child Yeshua, for He would save His people from their sins. The meaning of His name revealed His character, purpose, and mission in life. He was, and forever will be, “Yahweh’s Salvation” offered to all humanity. We do not mandate that anyone use or pronounce this name, but neither do we forbid it. In fact, we welcome, encourage and celebrate the revelation and meaning of His name in all its various languages. What are Home Groups? Havurah is Hebrew and means friendship and fellowship. We believe in community as was practiced in the time of the Apostolic Scriptures. Small groups keep us encouraged in our faith hold us accountable to one another and provide true fellowship where we can learn and be discipled from the Tanakh and Apostolic Writings. Acts 2:42 enjoins us to continue: “steadfastly in the apostle’s teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread and in prayers.” We believe that fellowship and breaking of bread is important. How do you use titles at Renewed Hope Ministries? We do not use, or encourage the use of “Rabbi” in this fellowship for the same reason we do not use the titles, “Lord,” “Father,” or “Right Reverend” when referring to our under-shepherds. The following terms are not titles; they describe a person’s area of ministry. These categories are Apostle, Prophet, Teacher, Pastor, Evangelist, Elder, Deacon and Missionary. Who is the Senior Elder of Renewed Hope Ministries? In the Apostolic scriptures (N.T.), the pattern for the congregation is laid out. Here, the regular example is that of plural leadership, that is, one man is not designated as the only pastor, or the only leader. In fact, Jesus is the Head Pastor (chief shepherd, 1 Peter 5:4) of the congregation. A team of elders jointly determine policy that affects the congregation. The term Senior Elder, means he makes the final decision regarding the governing of the congregation and implementation of the policy determined by the Corporate Board of Directors. Other leaders who are involved in overseeing various other areas of responsibility within the fellowship are referred to as, Deacons and/or Department Leaders. These individuals assist in the implementation of the RHM vision, mission, and general ministry functions. Why do some people use Prayer Shawls? The prayer shawl (tallit), with the fringes (tzit-tzit), are traditionally worn at all daily services in Israel and reminds the worshiper that he or she is approaching the Most High, Who is Himself wrapped in a cloud of glory (Ps. 104:1,2). It also allows the individual worshipper to concentrate by pulling the tallit over the head and thus blocking out distractions. Any adult may or may not wear a tallit, this is a personal choice and never considered a requirement nor is it expected. Why do people read weekly from the Yearly Hebrew Calendars? These suggested readings give us a balanced correlation of God’s Laws contained in the first five books of the Bible and the Apostolic Writings (N.T.). It has been divided into sections for devotional reading during the fifty two weeks of the year. In the time of Jesus the divisions were such that it took three years to completely read through the sections, one section each week or Sabbath. In the latter centuries the sections were re-divided so that the cycle could be completed in one year. We use this one-year cycle at RHM. A list of the sections is available by obtaining a yearly calendar from our office. We read these portions corporately each Sabbath. Why do people follow the Food Laws in the Bible? The food laws serve as a biblical diet to help ensure the believer’s health. We believe they are of relevance to people’s health and physical welfare. We therefore encourage everyone to prayerfully consider appropriating this diet into their lifestyle as the Holy Spirit leads them (Lev. 11; Deut. 14). Some believers practice the dietary laws and some do not. In order to not offend we practice the dietary laws in all of our fellowship gatherings where food is served and eaten in a communal way at all of the Lords Feasts and during our informal fellowship times known as pot blessings.

Let's start with the country's employment and unemployment rates. These make it easier to gauge the true nature of the job market in the UK. According to the Office of National Statistics, the UK has a current employment rate of 76.4%, better than many other countries around the world. It's also 0.3% higher than that of last year. On the flip side, the country also has a current unemployment rate of 3.9%, making it 0.1% higher than last year but not necessarily a substantial change. Furthermore, they also found that about 600,000 people in the UK are on the payroll. With the employment and unemployment rates in mind, it's now time to see which industries are the biggest in the UK. LinkedIn has shown that the top three industries looking for new hires are IT services, computer software, and financial services. Around 33% of all professionals in the country are employed in these three specific areas. But when it comes to yearly growth, they found that it's the pharmaceutical industry that trumps them all. This field increases by about 49% every year. Still, in terms of sector, the service sector remains the biggest and often has the most number of hired annually. As far as cities are concerned, London is, unsurprisingly, still the biggest one to work in. but it should be noted that not all fo the jobs found here are in Central London. Other parts of the British capital are also looking to hire new employees year after year. Following in second is Manchester and Edinburough at third. Various industries established their own corners within these UK cities. And if you're looking to live in one of the smaller cities, you can still find work in the likes of Belfast, Cardiff, and Nottingham. They're also emerging as potential powerhouse British cities in terms of employment. In terms of jobs, which ones are companies most looking for? Well, they all make use of technology. As of the moment, companies are looking for AI specialists the most, especially since many have gone digital, even more so now with the COVID-19 pandemic.
