Be really familiar with your surroundings. You need to be in tune with nature as you fish.
See to it that your reel is both clean as well as lube. Casting in addition to drawing in the fish are some of the most vital parts of angling. A well-oiled reel means easier casts and less work attracting the fish. Maintaining your rod properly can make a substantial distinction.
Evening spiders, as well as worms, are great lure when you wish to catch perch. Although most individuals choose fresh lure for catching perch, man-made bait is okay too.
This is a really simple method to carry your monofilament around. The containers integrated into cutter is also be used to clip leader.
Have them handy as a preventative measure up until you are accustomed to the waves.
Be particular to choose the appropriate attraction for each fishing scenario. Various fishing places or varieties of the same fish pond or stream may benefit from a various selection in appeals. Each attraction is designed for varying places and fish. It may take some screening, however, it will make angling much less complex.
If you’re attempting to catch catfish, make sure that your lure goes deeply right into the water since they are bottom feeders.
Even the very same lure however various outcomes when tried in another color. Fish act in a different way when they see different colors, so what jobs might transform each day.
Angling is an enjoyable activity and must not be a frustration; the guidance supplied here can aid you to look forward to angling again. It is flawlessly acceptable to prefer success; therefore, discover all that you perhaps can prior to you venture out as well as capture the huge one for dinner!

Here’s a thought experiment for you. Imagine yourself in an alternate United States where the First Amendment is not as a matter of settled law considered to bar Federal and State governments from almost all interference in free speech. This is less unlikely than it might sound; the modern, rather absolutist interpretation of free-speech liberties did not take form until the early 20th century.
In this alternate America, there are many and bitter arguments about the extent of free-speech rights. The ground of dispute is to what extent the instruments of political and cultural speech (printing presses, radios, telephones, copying machines, computers) should be regulated by government so that use of these instruments does not promote violence, assist criminal enterprises, and disrupt public order.
The weight of history and culture is largely on the pro-free-speech side – the Constitution does say “Congress shall make no law … prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press”. And until the late 1960s there is little actual attempt to control speech instruments.
Then, in 1968, after a series of horrific crimes and assassinations inspired by inflammatory anti-establishment political propaganda, some politicians, prominent celebrities, and public intellectuals launch a “speech control” movement. They wave away all comparisons to Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia, insisting that their goal is not totalitarian control but only the prevention of the most egregious abuses in the public square.
So strong is public revulsion against the violence of 1968 that the first prohibition on speech instruments passes rapidly. The dissidents used slow, inexpensive hand-cranked mimeograph machines and hand presses to spread their poison; these “Saturday Night Specials” are banned. Slightly more capable printers still inexpensive enough to be owned by individual citizens are made subject to mandatory registration.
A few civil libertarians call out warnings but are dismissed as extremists and generally ignored. Legitimate media and publishing corporations, assured by speech-control activists that their presses will not be affected by any measures the speech-control movement has in mind, raise little protest themselves.
Strangely, the ban on Saturday Night Specials fails to reduce the ills it was intended to address. Violent dissidents and criminals, it seems, find little difficulty in stealing typewriters, copiers, and more expensive printing equipment – none of it subject to registration.
The speech-control movement insists that stricter laws regulating speech instruments are the answer. By about 1970 convicted felons are prohibited from owning typewriters. A few years later all dealers in printing supplies, telephones, radios, and other communication equipment are required to have federal licenses as a condition of business, and are subject to government audits at any time. The announced intention of these laws is to prevent dangerous speech instruments from falling into the hands of criminals and madmen.
In 1976 the National Writers’ Association, previously a rather somnolent social club best known for sponsoring speed-typing contests, is taken over in a palace coup by an insurgent gang of pro-free-speech radicals. They display an unexpected flair for grass-roots organization, and within five years have developed a significant lobbying arm in Washington D.C. They begin pushing back against speech-instrument restrictions.
But the speech-control movement seems to be winning most of the battles. In 1986 ownership of automatic so-called “class 3” press equipment is banned except for federally-licensed individuals and corporations. The media is flooded with academic studies purporting to show that illicit speech instruments cause crime and violence, though for some reason the researchers making these claims often refuse to publish their primary data sets.
In unguarded moments and friendly company the speech-control movement’s leadership describes its goal expansively as confiscation and bans on all speech instruments not under direct government control or licensing. For public consumption, however, they speak only of “common-sense regulation” – conveniently never quite achieved, and always requiring more restrictions designed to increase the costs and legal risks for individuals owning speech instruments.
Free-speech advocates begin referring to the speech-control movement’s tactics as “salami-slicing” – carving away rights one “reasonable” slice at a time until there is nothing left. Document leaks from major speech-control lobbying organizations confirm that this is their strategy (they call it “incrementalism”), and that they intend to continue lying about their objectives in public until the goal is so nearly achieved that admitting the truth will no longer prevent final victory.
But much of the general public, the American moderate middle, takes the speech-control movement’s public rhetoric at face value. Who can be against “reasonable restrictions” and “common-sense regulation”? Especially when pundits assure them that free speech was never intended by the framers of the Constitution to be interpreted as an individual right, but as a collective right of the people to be exercised only as members of government-controlled or sponsored corporate bodies.
But by 1990 many individual private owners of telephones and computers, though themselves still almost untouched by the new laws, are nevertheless becoming suspicious of the speech-control movement and increasingly frustrated with the NWA’s sluggish and inadequate counters to it. Awareness of the pattern of salami-slicing and strategic deception by the other side is spreading well beyond hard-core free-speech activists.
In 2001, an eminent historian named Prettyisland publishes a book entitled “Printing America”. In it, he argues that pre-Civil war Americans never placed the high value on free speech and freedom of expression asserted in popular history, and that ownership of speech instruments was actually rare in the Revolutionary period. He is awarded a Bancroft Prize; his book receives glowing reviews in academia and all media outlets and is taken up as a major propaganda cudgel by the speech-control movement.
Within 18 months dedicated free-speech activists led by an amateur scholar show that “Printing America” was a wholesale fraud. The probate records Prettyisland claims to have examined never existed. He has systematically misquoted and distorted his sources. Shamefaced academics recant their support; his Bancroft Prize is revoked.
The speech-control movement takes a major loss in its credibility, and free speech activists a corresponding gain. Free-speech advocacy organizations more willing to confront their enemies than the NWA arise, and find increasing grassroots support – Printer Owners of America, Advocates for the First Amendment, Jews for the Preservation of Computer Ownership.
The members of these organizations know that many people advocating “reasonable restrictions” and advocating “common-sense regulation” are not actually seeking total bans and confiscation. They’re honest dupes, believing ridiculous collective-rights theories because that’s what all the eminent people who gave Prettyisland’s book glowing reviews told them was true. They honestly believe that anyone who doesn’t support “common-sense regulation” is a dangerous, out-of-touch radical.
Free-speech advocates also know that some people speaking the same moderate-sounding language – including most of the leadership of the speech-control movement – are lying, and are using the people in the first group as cat’s paws for an agenda that can only honestly be described as the totalitarian suppression of free speech.
Increasingly, the difference between these groups becomes irrelevant. What has happened is that four decades of strategic deception by the leadership of the speech-control movement has destroyed the credibility of the honest middle. Free-speech activists, unable to read minds, have to assume defensively that everyone using the moderate-middle language of “common-sense regulation” is lying to hide a creeping totalitarian agenda.
The moderate middle, unaware of how it has been used, doesn’t get any of this. All they hear is the yelling. They don’t understand why the free-speech activists react to their reasonable language with hatred and loathing.
The preceding was a work of fiction. But I’d only have to change a dozen or so nouns and names and phrases to make it all true (some of the dates might be off a little). I bet you can break the code, and if you are “moderate” you may find it explains a few things. Have fun!

I’ve been at the Jungle for two weeks now — imagine that! I’m still at the very bottom of my new-hire learning curve; every day I come away feeling like the number of things I don’t know is greater than it was the day before. But I’m not worried. Instead I focus on little things, like arranging my office furniture . . .
|I like the simple “door” desk (an homage to the early days of the
company, when the founder couldn’t afford any desk other than a door
laid over two trestles). But oh, I miss my view of Pennsylvania Avenue!
. . . and trying to figure out how many days before I can take down the welcome poster without hurting feelings.
|Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the gesture!
But fluorescent yellow has never been my favorite accent color.
The comforting thing is that I’ve discovered that it’s not the legal stuff I need to worry about. Once I learn enough about the business to understand what’s going on, the legal work is familiar (which is not the same thing as easy) and I know how to handle it. For example, on my third day of work I went with my manager to a meeting with some of the key business leaders we support. They were wrestling with a particular problem and, once I figured out what all the words and acronyms meant, I realized I could see a solution that no one else had mentioned yet. So I raised my hand and offered my views; the business team loved it and ran with it. Later, when I saw the woman who ran the meeting, I began to reintroduce myself and she said, “I know who you are. You’re the guy who had the smart fix in our meeting the other day.”
That made me happy for a lot of reasons. Partly because this woman strikes me as one of the smartest and most competent people I’ve met so far at the company. She’s definitely someone whose good opinion I want. Also because the transition from being a high-performer in a major law firm to being an unknown newbie in a giant corporation is a little unsettling, and it was nice to get some positive feedback (however insignificant) so early on.
Getting known as the “smart” guy also felt like a step in the right direction from a repetitional perspective. Obviously it’s good to be well regarded under any circumstances, but I’ve learned that I’m being measured against some pretty high expectations. I’m told by the higher ups that I came very highly recommended by some of the partners at my old law firm (who I had no idea were talking about me to the Jungle). And my peers seem to be impressed and/or intimidated by the fact that I’ve got a lot of really cool and very directly relevant legal experience (by contrast, many of them didn’t get into this type of work until they got to the Jungle, having spent their time in their prior law firms doing more general corporate work). I won’t say that I’m not flattered and pleased by this nascent reputation, but I also recognize that I need to be careful not to disappoint. I want to hit the ground running and basically be a super-star from the beginning, and it’s hard to feel like I’m doing that when I spend most of each day trying to figure out where the elevators are and how to log onto my computer. So any hint of having contributed something of value is very welcome.
This next week should provide some additional opportunities to make a contribution. My manager and one of my other colleagues are away on vacation, which means that I’ll be fielding pretty much everything that they handle on my own. I’m crossing my fingers that there aren’t any fire drills and that we get through the week more or less in one piece…

I went to the dentist today and had a bonding done on my front teeth to close a gap I got from biting down on a salad fork. When I paid my bill it hit me how much stuff I could have gotten for the Wing, especially during the Christmas sale that just finished, for that $310 that the dentist charged. With a full face on no one could really notice the gap but they would have noticed some of the goodies I should have put on. I am such an idiot!! Oh well, I will have to ride a little more cautious to protect this new dental work.

Easy video tutorial – how to make a doughnut stuffed toy out of a sock. It will take you 10 minutes to do and it could be used as a stress toy, pincushion, air freshener or pillow (if you’ll make 9 of them). Also I show how to make mini donuts out of a glove (10 fingers – 10 tiny donuts). Impressively cute! 🙂
I start my video with a tutorial of multifunctional stuffed donut toy. All you’ll need to make are: 1 sock (of any color), a piece of felt (or any fabric of any color), polyester stuffing (you can take a bit from pillow or stuff a toy with other material) and beads or yarn (optional). I show how to make a soft donut with pink icing and with brown chocolate icing. First one with beads (as sprinkles) and the second is with white “glaze” stripes.
What for are they? You can use it as a toy, room decoration (bright spots in your interior), pin cushion, air freshener (just drip few drops of fragrance oil), or, which is my favorite option, make 9 donuts and make a donut pillow! How to make it you’ll find out in my video.
Next part of my tutorial shows how to make mini donuts (or baby donuts, as I called them). For these babes you will need a glove (or pair), a piece of fabric (for “frosting”) and bugles, beads or anything for decoration. You can use these tiny doughnuts as pencil toppers, fridge magnets or as a brooch – up to you!
And the final part of the tutorial is about DIY hand warmers and stress toys. You will need a pair of socks (actually, you can use a sleeve or tights…), rice and piece of cloth for “icing”. Don’t glue fabric if you want to use it as a hand warmers. So this donut must be sewed! When “donuts” will be ready – microwave them on high for 30 seconds, then put into your coat pockets. Rice will save a warm for, at least, 2 hours and will help your hands not to chill. This kind of donut toys are great to calm nerves! Just squish them! Rice makes such a pleasant noise and feels so relaxing in hands! My video about DIY Antistress ball is so popular, so I’ve decided to make an option 🙂

In an interview in July 2020, Donald Trump, President of the United States, told an American TV host, Chris Wallace that he is “not a good loser,” when asked about the possibility of the November Presidential election results not being in his favour. “I am not going to just say yes. I’m not going to say no.”
Since he began his run for President in the 2016 elections, Trump has been extremely vocal about claiming rigged elections even after he won, and that Democrats have set out to make him lose through a variety of alleged means. Similarly in this election, he has continuously claimed that expansion of absentee and mail-in ballots will ‘corrupt’ the election. Even before the pandemic, as early as May 2019, there were concerns that Trump won’t allow for an easy transition of power, to the extent that Speaker Nancy Pelosi had to comment on them.
It’s possible Trump has been escalating this rhetoric because his COVID-19 mismanagement among other things, has put him behind his rival Joe Biden in national polls. It is bad enough that a President is questioning the integrity of elections with little to no proof to back up his exaggerations, but this will almost definitely lead to the people of the country— whether his supporters or not— distrusting the elections as well.
Despite the absentee and mail-in ballots being provided due to the coronavirus pandemic, to enable social distancing and to allow people to vote safely from home. Trump has often played down the coronavirus pandemic, and called Anthony Fauci, the National Institutes of Health expert on infectious diseases, an “alarmist” for raising issues pertaining to COVID-19.
The chances of an “electoral meltdown” are slim, but not impossible; the right (or wrong) mix of factors can lead to disaster. Lawrence Douglas, professor of law, jurisprudence and social thought, at Amherst College, Massachusetts. imagined a scenario where the difference between Trump and Biden rests on swing states and mail ballot results. Given the chance of a higher than usual number of mail-in ballots this year due to the pandemic, delays in counting votes are to be expected. Trump wouldn’t be slow to claim rigged elections and refuse to wait for all votes to be counted and right-wing media wouldn’t be slow to broadcast this everywhere.
In a closely fought election like this US Presidential election , the ‘Swing states’ (where both parties enjoy similar levels of popularity) will play a major role in the outcome. Three of the major swing states in America: Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania have Republican lawmakers but Democratic governors. Each state is required to submit electoral certificates declaring the election winner in their state. By the time all votes are counted, Republican legislatures and Democratic governors might end up submitting conflicting election results for the same state.
A similar stalemate had occurred in 1876. It led to a “disastrous” compromise and the 1887 Electoral Count Act, which, according to Professor Douglas, may prove deficient in preparing for an impasse like the one that currently looms in the realm of possibility.
If Trump were to challenge the result he might have a few options for his course of action. He could challenge the results in court, as happened in 2000 in the state of Florida. Or, Republicans in state legislatures might use the Constitution to override the decision of the popular vote.
According to speaker Nancy Pelosi, Democratic nominee Joe Biden, and some Trump campaign spokespeople believe that Trump will accept the results of the election but do not rule out the possibility of him putting up a fight.
For others, given what is known about Trump’s behaviour, it’s more or less anticipated that he, and his twitter, will be raging with a lot of accusations if he loses the election, especially if it happens by a close margin. The important questions related to what he chooses to do about it and who backs him up.

ELITE GOALKEEPING KIT SIZING HAS CHANGED.
When we launched the kit in 2019 it was designed for bigger ‘keepers. But, the protection and rebound characteristics mean that demand for a smaller size has developed that we want to satisfy. So, in 2019 the largest size was classified as large and the next size down was a medium. BUT those sizes were equivalent to XL and L in the Pro range.
For 2020 we will be running X-Large, Large and Medium. The 2020 X-Large is the same as the 2019 Large size and the 2020 Large size is the same as the 2019 Medium. We have then introduced a new size – actual Medium. These sizes are now the same as all the other GK kit ranges that we run.
Legguards – X-Large – 6’3”+, Large 5’10” – 6’2”, Medium 5’6” - 5’10”
Kickers – X-Large UK size 12+, Large UK 8 – 11, Medium UK 5 - 8
The open cell foam is heat bonded together under over a metric tonne (1000kg) of pressure to essentially create a one piece Mercian pad. This process removes any glue that can harden and shatter over time, this reducing the foam de-lamination that can be seen in other pads. The outer layer of foam has a skin or crust, reducing the friction that occurs between pad and pitch, aiding sliding and smothering. The internal shape has been modified to fit a longer leg with the two straps positioned to fit around the calf and below the knee. The legguards have been shaped to give the maximum legal (under FIH regulations) saving surface from the front but have also been lengthened on the inside of the leg to extended the calf protection and give another increased saving surface. The inner cell has been shaped to fit the leg but is made from heat sensitive foam which moulds under pressure and will fit the shape of the individual GK within the first couple of weeks of use. Finally the new strapping system has fully replaceable buckles (both male and female parts) and comfort pads to again enhance fit and reduce twisting.
The gloves also feature increased protection whilst keeping their weight below the other international level pads in the market. The four layer front pad on the left hand gives incredible protection with the internal shaping offering specific grippoints to enhance fit, but also ensuring the glove is positioned correctly to maximise the rebound created. A harder foam layer is sandwiched between softer foam to utilise the natural characteristics of an open cell foam, the microscopic air pockets are compressed under force (ball impact) and then return to shape, propelling the ball away after impact (returning energy). The righthand is shaped to give a maximum size saving surface. The wrist area is sculpted to offer flexibility to ensure that the forearm is protected in general play, but the angles required for ground saves and use of the stick are also maintained. The internal shaping of the right hand offers high levels of protection at specific stress points and anchor points to ensure that the stick and glove fit and function well together.

November 3rd at 7:30 PM
Cedar Park Center, Cedar Park, TX
After a long layoff for the Texas Stars, the Toronto Marlies come to town for their only visit of the season. Texas will travel to Toronto in March for the return visit. The Marlies are a hot team thanks to big scoring up front and solid goaltending in back. Unfortunately for them, some of that punch has been taken out of the picture thanks to callups by the Maple Leafs.
First, there is recently named Player of the Month for October, Joe Colborne, who leads the team and the league with 8-8-16 in 9 games. Colborne has had three 3-point games on the season. Right after him is Joey Crabb with 7-8-15 in 9 games. Crabb was just recently recalled to the NHL, however, and will not be in Cedar Park for the Marlies. He was replaced on the roster by NHL assignee Matt Frattin, a 2007 draft pick for the Leafs who has just one assist in 11 games in the NHL.
Also a large part of the puzzle, Ben Scrivens, will be out of the lineup for Toronto as well. He was recently recalled to back up Jonas Gustavsson with Reimer out for an extended period. Scrivens has four of the Marlies' five wins on the year. Jussi Rynnas is 1-3-0 with a 2.51 GAA and .910 SV%. Scrivens' replacement in the AHL is Mark Owuya from the Reading Royals, who has not yet played an AHL game.
The Stars will get a good test from the Marlies on the power play this evening. Toronto features the #3 PK in the league at 87.2%. Overall, Texas is clicking along at 37%, #1 in the league on the PP. Texas's PK is not good, but improving at #25 in the league at 75%. Luckily, Toronto is not good on the PP themselves at 12.5%, good for #25 in the league as well.
With the days off, Coach Pyle surely preached more team defense and there had to be work on that penalty kill. The team is actually allowing fewer shots this year than they did last year (28 vs. 31) but the key is shot quality. If every shot in the game comes from a high scoring area (crease out to the slot mostly), then there will be a lot more goals than if every one is a perimeter shot from the boards. Learning how to work that system, similar to what Dallas is doing, will be key to keeping opposing scoring chances low.

- Director of government agencies
- Director of non-profit organizations
- Institutional investment community senior professional
- Professional firms senior partner serving boards and their committees as clients
The women on the list should be able to demonstrate that they are financially literate. Profit & Loss experience is advantageous, given that some large companies have this as a pre-requisite for board roles.

Everyone always has the idea of having their dream football manager save with a team that are down at the bottom of the footballing ladder, this guide will (hopefully) help you convert your team into a force to be reckoned with. As well as changing their professional status. Managing semi-pro clubs in FM19? Read on!
This changing your professional status guide will focus on these three components:
- Progression & Commitment
This article was inspired by my success with a semi-professional team in the Welsh Premier League, who are known as Connah’s Quay Nomads. I took over Connah’s Quay Nomads as I was tired of TNS winning it absolutely every year in real life. Wanting to create a save in which I would challenge myself. In the save, I am currently in (July 2025) and have had a large amount of success with this save. Coming to the conclusion my development through the save has came down to three key components. I’m going to write about how I turned this team in to a dominant force on and off the pitch at all levels.
This guide can be applied to any team, you just have to think logically and apply it to your own save. The only way your professional status won’t change is if it’s hard-coded.
Money is so important. TRUST ME. – Managing semi-pro clubs in FM19
Everyone wants it, but not everyone gets it on Football Manager. This was by far the most important aspect as how I have converted this team in to a team that fights in Europe. One of the most important factors in making money is selecting a team in which it is achievable in a short period of time.
For example picking a team in the Vanamara North League is less likely to boost your income then picking a team in the Welsh Premier League. The reason for this is Europe. This is by far the biggest income you could ever ask for. So ensure you pick a team that you would be able to get some sort of continental championship that you can compete for. Unless, you want a long winded save. The money you get from Europe is one of the easiest ways to turn your amateur or semi-pro team into a professional team.
Contracts are another way in which you can have a big say in the money you are spending. I will talk about players later on, but for now this is focusing on contracts. It is hard not to give your best player the best possible contract. But it will affect how much you earn. That extra £300 a week can really add up if you’re a smaller club, put it this way 300 multiplied by 52 is equal to £15,600. If you’re a big club this is nothing, if you happen to be a small club this is a lot. This all adds up, think about if five of your players want an extra £300 a week that reaches a total of £78,000.
King Kenny?- Managing semi-pro clubs in FM19
Now that is serious money and something you should really pay close attention to. I never really paid attention to finances as much as I have with this save. It’s really benefited me for future saves. I always remember this famous quote by Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish –
Kenny is right, if a player doesn’t want to play on the wages you want to pay, look elsewhere. Maybe the next player you find isn’t as good, but just think of the wages that you are saving and the progression you are making in finances. One of the biggest burdens on a players contract for me is their playing fee and unused substitution fee. I always exclude these from contracts. You may think your player is on a basic £1000 a week contract until you look closely and realise he will receive an extra £300 for playing. As well as £200 for being an unused substitute.
You must, and I can’t stress this enough try to get the best deal that benefits you, the club is your best interests. This can all depend on your professional status as well.
Finances that benefit, for changing professional status- Managing semi-pro clubs in FM19
Don’t worry about cash flow if you are in any continental championship. Below is a graphic of my save and the finances –
This might look like it spikes in areas, which it does. But this isn’t down to poor cash flow it is solely relying on Europe for the main source of income. In my first season it slowly declines over the season. I was really worried I would liquidate the club if I didn’t have any other income. That season I qualified for European qualification rounds, I didn’t do well.
However, I still got a lot of money for it and that money has kept coming in consecutive seasons. This has meant that the better I do in Europe the more money I will receive. This massively helps the board decide whether they want to change your professional status.
Ignore Cashflow- Managing semi-pro clubs in FM19
If you look at the image from the 2021 season it looks like I was making pennies in comparison to this. This particular season I qualified for the Champions League group stage because of how fortunate the draws were in the qualifying stages. I didn’t do well in the group stages but I still received this amount of money –
I don’t think I will get in to the group stages again in the following year but that £11.32 Million has completely revamped the actual club and I don’t mean in terms of personnel.
The money has allowed me to continue to develop and grow the club off field. In terms of facilities and scouting range, this is something that is massively under rated and often overlooked for smaller clubs.
I want to look at my finances in a bit more depth and I have broken the finances into years –
Conclusion- Managing semi-pro clubs in FM19
I have added a black line in each season as to when it typically starts, so for my case this is August. Also adding a year to each segment, so you can see the progression as well as the maximum amount of money I had at any given time in this time frame. The money benefits really help changing the professional status.
It is all about patience, you won’t become an overnight billionaire and it wasn’t until the 2020/21 season where I really pushed myself to strive for professional status. I finished third in this season, which was one better than the season before. But I won in the qualification for Europe which meant I could try and earn money for winning in at least one qualifying round.
I got to the third qualifying round for the Europa League but that was more than enough. It meant that I received £89k per round and took home an extra £209k which meant just from three qualifying rounds of the Europa league the club would earn approximately £476k. This was the start of the money coming in to the club, because of this money I could sign a couple of players for cash and pay that little bit extra and with better players it meant I could challenge more.
That is exactly what I did in the following season where I somehow beat Rangers in the fourth qualifying round in the Europa and placed myself in a group, obviously the team got beat every game but I just wanted the money. This meant with this new money, I had a balance of £2.8 Million – this was the first time the board wanted to go professional and because I had more than £1 Million in the bank it went ahead.
First Season when professional status change- Managing semi-pro clubs in FM19
My first season as a professional club I finally took the title of TNS and signed some wonderful talents along the way. The first season as a professional club was fantastic. However, the board upgraded my youth and training facilities which meant I was a bit short for cash in some months. That all changed when I qualified for the Champions league qualifiers. Unfortunately losing out to Shaktar in the deciding round but meant I could have a spot in the Europa League.
Europe has really allowed me to blossom and take advantage of the money that you gain from it. In my last season, one round in the Champions League covered the full costings of my wages for an ENTIRE YEAR. That is the kind of money I wanted and will continue to get as I develop the club, but don’t forget to develop the club in different ways.
Players to sign when wanting to change professional status- Managing semi-pro clubs in FM19
Everyone loves a good new-gen and these lower reputation clubs will relish from another clubs loss. Players get you results with the right management and that’s the mindset I have had throughout this save. I have taken a lot of risks and chances on players who might not look fantastic but play with a consistent rating. In particular I started looking at a mix of youth and experience, but experience definitely won the battle at the time.
As the club was semi-professional at the time I could only sign players who had played in Wales before or were Welsh and this was a struggle. But I found some fantastic players along the way. TNS were the only professional club at the time so every time they let go of players I was first on the door offering them contracts. I spent a total of £2.2k in my first year and signed a massive 20 players. That seems a lot but the contracts were so small I wanted to give everyone an opportunity and offered them a year contract or if it was in January a six month contract and then reassess them at the end of the season.
I have always had a high turn over of players in my first few years whilst managing a club, and this didn’t change. This is why it is so important to try and change your professional status. It helps with transfers.
Players to look for- Managing semi-pro clubs in FM19
I particularly looked for players who suited my formation. Playing a simple 4-4-2 and relied on pacey strikers who could beat the last man. I signed about six strikers to fill two roles and looked for players who were fast. Searching specifically for the pace and acceleration before I even considered their finishing or composure and this worked. The league isn’t that great and the defenders struggled to keep up, and it was a case of I want to score as many goals as possible before the opposition exploit my weaknesses.
Age really didn’t matter. I am a semi-professional team looking to change my professional status and the fortunes of the club and I knew that players would only be there for a year and move on or retire.
Use a lot of players or have a larger squad. This was something I did, I always had cover, if my best striker was injured I knew I had someone on the bench who could do the job. I have the most players used in every season so far, and this will never change. Trying to focus on every competition and give it my all. After all, the prize money is something that was appetising and it also meant I could increase the clubs reputation and attract better players. I always look at the bigger picture and how one trophy can affect the club in the long run.
Development- Managing semi-pro clubs in FM19
If they are good enough play them. I always see people have fantastic new-gens and they just let them play in the reserves, I had a couple of new-gens and played them. One is now my best player and captain and is a big part of why I have so many trophies, take a look at him –
I mean if you just compare the two and look at how much he has grown in five years, it is quite remarkable. He has went from an outcast who got given an opportunity to the clubs captain. He is also my most paid player, I have a team in the Champions League who I pay £1,400 a week to.
Remember Kenny Dalglish’s quote? I stuck by this and never over paid him – I still pay less wages than TNS and I have just completed the quadruple(League, MG cup, IRN BRU cup and Welsh cup).
Tips and tricks- Managing semi-pro clubs in FM19
As time goes by, look at your youth and really take time out to see what you can do to make them better. What I did was create a team where there was at least two players in every position on the pitch and left them to it, granted some were good and others weren’t but it gave the club stability and I worked on this a lot.
I believe that if you’re winning games you are typically happy. If you’re happy you want to play. If you want to play you are going to learn and that’s exactly why I focus on my youth recruitment. Having the most successful youth team who have just completed their season winning the league unbeaten and drawing two out of a possible 22.
Keep it simple. I see no point in trying to replicate how Barcelona play with their Tiki-Taka, keep it simple. My system started out with a direct passing system which I try to exploit the flanks and then play early crosses for my fast strikers to latch on to. I won’t discuss tactics in depth in this article as there are more important factors in changing your professional status.
Progression & Commitment / Professional Status- Managing semi-pro clubs in FM19
A little step backwards to go a big step forward is good. At any club you want to progress through the ranks, and this is no different. Even if one season you don’t do as well as expected you can always leap back the next season. There are far too many people who will play the game and then give up after four years because they haven’t won the Champions League with a Sunday league standard team.
If you are wanting to challenge yourself with a lesser team, make sure you are committed, a lot of people give up at the first hurdle. I didn’t and I have had the most fun I have ever had on Football Manager, I have a team in the Welsh Premier League who lost one game in all competitions apart from the Champions League and a Reserve team that has just won the title unbeaten.
The aim of using a lesser team is to progress, but that doesn’t always have to be on the pitch. You may have a bad season but your finances are good or you have a player who will break in to the first team who will really change your fortunes. There are always positives to take from any situation when being a lesser team, and that’s something I have learnt throughout this save.
Progression- Managing semi-pro clubs in FM19
I lost one of my best players to Atlanta United and only got around £10k. But it freed up a position and the replacement I got didn’t look at all good, but he ended up being the leagues top goal scorer in the season we finished third.
When talking about progression, always keep an eye out on some of the other teams players, there are some incredible players who don’t look as good as they play. I often look at the leagues best average ratings and look at players in which you can use as your own. If things don’t work out with the particular player at least another team aren’t benefiting from his tremendous performances.
Spend time on the finer things. This is something I can’t stress enough, look at your team, analyse what’s been going right, look at what’s been going wrong and create a solution to prevent the wrong things from happening again. It’s important, there are so many details that people ignore and then wonder why they are struggling. If your team is conceding the majority of goals from through balls look at what your defenders might be lacking in, if it’s pace get them to drop deeper. Or if it’s their off the ball intelligence, look at players who bring more to the table. Always look to improve the team, there are some gems you can find in Amateur teams that will really help you. Don’t just think because they play for an amateur team they are rubbish.
Progress off field and facilities that help towards the change in professional status- Managing semi-pro clubs in FM19
Progress off the field is something that needs to be done. Sign better staff, I always look to improve my staff every year and because I play on FM Touch it means each contract is a year rolling contract so they can be released upon their contract ending. I always look to improve each member of staff – what’s the point in making your team better if the coaches aren’t. Other things to focus on progressing is definitely your training and youth facilities, mine are the best in the league now, but I’d focus on making yourself professional first as players on professional contracts train more than a semi-professional.
The youth facilities are also important, you want your youth teams to improve year upon year and giving them a platform where they can develop is essential. Finally, scouting, make sure you try and increase your scouting range, you will seriously find some incredible players from overseas if you do this. Obviously this is all money dependant but because this subject is about progression, you should actively look how you can improve the team in more ways than one.
The End of changing your professional status- Managing semi-pro clubs in FM19
Ultimately the idea of the game is to have fun, enjoy yourself, take risks and look for hidden gems where you can. The hidden gems can really shape your future. I hope this guide will either help you. It may even give you inspiration for a future save you may have in mind. I have thoroughly enjoyed writing this and struggled to fit in everything that I could think of. These little elements can create a team that really fight for their trophies and progress as each year comes by. I’m hoping this guide can change your clubs professional status.

After being ‘furious’ with the Gunners over their step for Thomas Partey, Atletico are reportedly set to sever relations with Arsenal.
The 27-year-old completed his move to the Emirates on the Summer window deadline day after his £45million release clause was triggered by Arsenal.
The clause meant that it was not necessary to negotiate with Atletico, but the La Liga club argued that the lack of notice was insensitive because it gave them no hope of finding a substitute.
The Athletic argument claim Atletico Madrid is ‘furious’ and the method is identified as ‘incredible’ by a source, adding that the relationship between the two clubs is ‘irreparable’.
Reports from Spain state that just 32 minutes before the deadline closed, Arsenal triggered the clause.
The offer was irresistible to Partey, with the Ghanaian signing for Arsenal to quadruple his earning to £250,000-a-week. Apparently, his agent also got about £ 2 million, while the lump sum of £ 45 million was paid to Atletico.
Once salary and agent fees are accounted for, Partey’s four-year deal at the club is set to cost the Gunners around £91m.

New exhibitor: Bleu Anglais
Noel Chapman of Bleu Anglais will be joining us at our Autumn Fair. Noel collects antique Chinese indigo folk textiles from the late 19th century to pre-cultural revolution.
We’re thrilled to have him join us and you can read more about Noel’s inspiration and favourite pieces in this Selvedge Magazine interview.
Vintage indigo folk textile from rural China. These are the simple handwoven cotton fabrics of everyday country folk and were rarely seen outside of a village life now almost completely disappeared. Known variously as Nankeen Blue and simply as Blue Print Cloth, pieces include; traditional dowry and wrapping cloths, pugai (quilt & bedroll) covers, and panels combine floral and animal motifs with an array of auspicious symbols rich in history and folklore. Many of the pieces were created for marriages, or to celebrate or wish success for Civil Service examinations, and as home blessings and the like. Most pieces date from the first half of the 20th century, some from the end of the 19th century and display their age with the characteristic charm and fading we similarly associate with our beloved indigo blue jeans.

I’m participating in Excerpt Monday, organized by the lovely Bria Quinlan and Mel Berthier from Romance Divas.
Today’s excerpt comes from Chapter One of my fantasy/paranormal romance Deeper Than Bone.
Boyd Harbor, New Jersey, Earth:
Catherine Lecuyer jolted awake, her hand reaching for the baseball bat leaning against the night stand. Wait—
She was home. She was safe. That was the past.
Heart pounding, she sagged back against the down pillows and focused on the television blaring with a careening car chase and the sharp crack and bang of gunfire. Some cop drama had replaced the cheerful romantic comedy she’d found to keep her insomnia company. She had finally drifted off and missed the last fifteen minutes and the happily ever after.
It figured. She clicked the remote. The picture tube’s grey light faded, leaving her bedroom cloaked in shadow. Dark. Quiet. She took a sharp breath. Exhaled slowly.
She could do this. She tossed to her side. The clock’s red glow glared. 2:13. 2:14. 2:15. 2:16. All quiet.
Too quiet. The baseboard heat ticked and gurgled with the deeper hum of the furnace in the basement. Her ears strained for each tiny noise in the old house.
Stop it. You’ve absolutely nothing to be anxious over. She lived next door to a cop. How much safer could she get?
She was tired of being afraid. Tired of being tired.
“So get over it.” She turned on the lamp, punched her pillows into shape and crawled back under the covers.
A revving car engine followed by a screech of tires jarred her off the pillow. A firecracker banged.
Darn it, hadn’t those teens down the street learned their lesson? She untangled herself from the bedding.
Tires squealed again and the car sped past her house.
By the time she peeked through the front window blinds, the noisy-makers were long gone. Her frost-hazed neighborhood slept peacefully in the moonless November night. Stray snow flakes idled through the pools of street lights. John Morris, her police officer neighbor, was finally home from work.
Everyone was sleeping. So should she. Letting the blinds fall closed, she eyed her rumpled bed. Maybe some tea first. She pulled on her fleece bathrobe and slid into her slippers.
Tires shrieked, ending with a odd bang.
She pushed aside the blinds. A red sedan perched askew over the curb, front bumper creased against her old maple tree.
Officer Morris must have heard the crash. She glanced next door. Porch light spilled over his tidy front lawn. He was still up. He’d be outside any second.
The driver shoved open the car door and stumbled out. He held onto the car door.
Oh, come on, Morris. Where are you? You had to have heard it. She grabbed her phone and dialed Morris’s number as she hurried downstairs. His answering machine picked up. Good. He must already be out the door.
She fumbled the two locks and the safety chain. She peered out the door.
Ignoring the damage to his car, the man walked away in long, jerky strides, his attention fixed on the stretch of dark roadway near Morris’s Jeep.
The hair on the back of her neck prickled. Let Officer Morris handle this. You can’t. It’s not your job.
Cat hesitated on the threshold, unable to let go of the doorknob. Her breath fogged in the icy air.
Don’t go. You know what’s out there in the dark.
I’m supposed to help. “Hey, are you okay?” She pried her fingers from the doorknob.
“Oh, God!” The driver’s voice broke. His knees hit the wet pavement beside a dark crumpled form lying just outside the pool of amber street light. “Call 911!”
Cat punched the numbers and took unsteady steps along the slippery front walk. A man, face down.
Her stomach tied in a hot knot. Her Sight fought to open, drew her on. She fought the Seeing back.
The driver, his young face chalky, pressed his fingers to the man’s throat. “Shit! No pulse. I can’t find a pulse. Shit. He’s not breathing. Oh, God, please.”
The white of t-shirt showed through a rip in his dark blue long-sleeved shirt. One black shoe was missing.
Disbelief stole her breath. It couldn’t be–
The driver eased the man over onto his back revealing the bloody, slack face. “Oh, God, a cop.” Choking back a sob, he launched into CPR.
Not just any cop. John Morris. Blood blackened his military-short sandy brown hair and glossed his uniform shirt. Light gleamed on the grim puddle beneath him. Too much blood.
This couldn’t be. A calm voice in the phone reached Cat and tugged her back. “An accident. There’s been an accident.”
The voice in the phone asked so many questions.
A black gun gleamed in the leaf-clotted, ice-scummed puddle by the Jeep’s rear tire.
“Please, tell them I didn’t hit him! One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six . . .” He chanted the count with each forceful chest thrust. He breathed into Officer Morris. “Hit the tree. One. Two. Three. . . Saw something. Thought a deer, a dog. Hit the brakes. Hit the tree. Not him. Oh, breathe, please. One. Two. Three. . .”
John Morris had waved to her in his brusk no-nonsense manner on his way to work, just hours ago. He’d flashed her one of his far too rare smiles that ignited his ice blue eyes and brightened the bad-boy sensuality of his lean rugged face, transforming him from uptight defender of the law and major anal-retentive neighbor to out-and-out temptation.
The first thin siren rose wailing in the distance.
Too late. Officer Morris was dead. Her unwelcome Sight knew. He was dead. The driver’s diligent CPR efforts were hopeless. Officer Morris was gone. Not a wisp of his aura remained.
This couldn’t be. Just hours ago, he’d smiled, and she’d thanked God she was immune to fickle alpha-male charm.
She shuddered, forced the Seeing away.
Gone. A cry choked in her throat. No more lectures on her leaves in his yard. No more rare flashing smiles. No more newspapers neatly lined up on her porch.
“. . . Six. Shit, oh man, oh shit. Oh, come on, breathe, man. One. Two . . .”

There are two ways of raising money to support your tuition-charging school. The first is development, which is the most challenging and time-consuming, but is the most effective way to ensure sustainable revenue for your school over the long haul. The other somewhat “easier,” less time-consuming, but more commonly used way – the way schools have done it for so many years – is fundraising. And although it’s becoming more and more tedious while generating less and less revenue, people still do it. Why? Because that’s the way they’ve always done it!
Before progressing further, there is a reason why this happens with fundraising, and it’s not “the economy,” even though that’s what usually gets blamed when fundraisers just done bring in what they used to. The reason is physics – The Law of Diminishing Returns. In economics, diminishing returns is the decrease in the marginal or incremental results of a process as the amount of a single effort which goes into it is incrementally increased, while all the other efforts that go into the process remain constant. In other words, more people are selling candy, and if everything else remains constant (the amount of candy sold by each person, the profit margin offered by the fundraising product provider, etc.), there’s a significant possibility that the net result will be less. Then leaders don’t understand what went wrong. The real reason is that in process thinking, changing one element should provide a different result, right? And it does! Unfortunately, it’s usually not the expected result. If you’d like to know how to combat this mindset, there are two things that must be done. If you’d like to know what they are, send an email to email@example.com with the words, “Two things to improve process outcomes.”
Also, it may help to acknowledge the other terms which have entered into the discussion between fundraising and development – namely, fund raising and advancement. You’ll see there is a difference between fundraising and fund raising (it’s more than just a space); “fundraising” will be described in this article, since “fund raising” is any type of activity done which generates non-programmatic revenue to support the mission of an organization. In the case of your school, and for clarity, programmatic revenue would be the tuition and fees your school charges.
As for advancement, our definition speaks to all the processes which are necessary to provide for your school’s firm financial foundation, including asset management, retention of school families with children currently enrolled in your school, marketing to attract new students and new donors, enrollment (that is, enrolling new students in your school), and development.
Today’s article is dedicated to the difference between fundraising and development because there are a number of individuals who are engaged with schools, such as parents, board members and even administrators, who believe those two words are interchangeable.
They’re not. They’re two different constructs!
Many consultative entities will say that you must make a fundamental shift in your strategies, moving from fundraising to development, but don’t provide a timetable for successful implementation. From a consultative standpoint, the first step toward change involves analysis and recommendation. Implementation is the next step of the process, and, while many schools will fund the first step of a major transitional initiative, the next step may cost additional dollars and time which the school has not considered. Sometimes, schools acknowledge the importance of development, but then may discontinue all their fundraising without the proper guidance in place. Guess what happens? They close, because they didn’t realize that fundraising has its place, and a bridge needs to be formed to successfully move from one mindset to the other. Sustainable financial support requires both strategies be utilized as the organization progresses from a fundraising mindset toward a development mindset. It’s not a change (which implies a one-time, immediate event); it’s a transition (which can have a very long timetable).
Think of it as trying to turn a large luxury liner around. It’s a long process. While it’s pretty easy to turn a speedboat around, a luxury liner has no choice but to reverse engines to get out of port, and then, when out in wide-open waters, can begin the turnaround process in order to move forward. The same happens with moving from fundraising to development. It’s a big transition…both in process and in mindset.
The usual time frame for a successful full-blown implementation is usually three to five years, and even then, traction may only begin to happen. When you consider that a development director is expected to achieve immediate results, you can then understand why the average life-expectancy of a Development Director is…ready?…18 MONTHS! When a new person is identified and hired, all those relationships that the prior development professional had built are severed, and they have to be rebuilt again, and, unfortunately, relationships take time to build. I’ve witnessed schools which have significant development success, and when the development director leaves, the successful processes that were in place were not continued because the duties of the position were re-assigned as additional duties to another staff member. Relationships were not continued, and therefore, development revenue levels dropped, which led to the inability to assist families in need, which caused enrollment declines. If a new administration realizes that changes need to be made, it will take time to rebuild relationships and institute successful processes to bring revenue levels to the point they were in past years. Sometimes, that requires not just time, but significant time.
Unfortunately, most school and finance boards expect instant successes. In these days of instant access to information, instant purchases of big-ticket items, and instant gratification, the expectation is that since there is a Development Director in place, monies will miraculously flow into the coffers of the school. Worse yet, the Development Director becomes the “catch-all” person for Box Tops for Education, Soup Labels for Education, Scrip and all the other fundraisers (one word) the school has. It’s important to realize that tasks and projects such as those are NOT the Development Director’s responsibility! Yet, boards and administrators point to the “Other duties as assigned” clause on the job description, and regardless of whether the task is fundraising or development, it falls on the desk of the Development Director…and usually to the detriment of the school.
Why is this? Because the Development Director is to be visible in the community, meeting with individuals and businesses. Unfortunately, most principals know how to monitor employees only when they’re at work IN the building! If they’re not in their offices, then people wonder what they’re doing and where they are. It’s a new supervisory process that many principals aren’t familiar nor comfortable with.
Then who’s responsible for those fundraisers? The Parent Teacher’s Guild/Organization. Fundraising is a part of your RETENTION element…NOT Development, as it involves engaging the current parent community. If you’d like to challenge me on that, bring it on. Show me a school that has their Development Director doing fundraising activities, and I’ll show you a struggling school that can’t figure out what they’re doing wrong. Fundraising is still important in the transition. The danger is when short-term development expectations for significant revenue generation are not met, then the school will resort back to focusing on fundraising. The words attributed to Jack Dixon are most important to remember: “If you focus on the results, you will never change; if you focus on the change, you will see results.”
When Development is in place, there may be some “Signature” fundraising events or activities you may wish to hold on to. If it generates significant income, it becomes identified with your school, and most importantly, parents look forward to it and have a fun time with it by inviting their friends who are not a part of the school community, by all means, keep it! Remember, it’s “FUN”draising…not “TEDIOUS”draising. It’s also “FRIEND”raising,” which is key to your development success (and now you see how a fundrasing event has just become a fund raising event, and potentially, a development event). It’s the continued meaningful involvement of individuals with your school’s mission and vision that will create it’s support base.
The following chart offers a framework to help recognize the important differences in these two concepts:
Short-term (planning done on a year-to-year basis)
Candy, wrapping paper, cookie dough, popcorn, candle, fruit, wreaths, or any other kind of “sales”
Family Movie Night, Roller Skating/Bowling or Dine to Donate Events
Non-threatening to other organizations
Long-term (planning done on a three-to-five year or five-to-ten year basis)
Tied into strategic planning, and a systemic framework of advancement
Annual alumni & community appeals
Planned Giving/Major Gifts/Bequests
Grants, Underwriting and Sponsorships
Partnering with community businesses
Threatening to other organizations
Threatening? Most school administrators don’t like to be threatening. It takes boldness to be a development director, and we have the gifts of the Holy Spirit to embolden us – especially courage and fortitude! Why is fundraising non-threatening and development threatening? That’s the topic of next month’s article!

What will $750 buy you these days? Either one night at the Trump International Hotel or, according to a NYT report, cover a billionaire’s tax bill for one year.
Now, we try not to be this kind of a note, and we certainly acknowledge the potency of class resentment in politics, but it’s hard for us to see how the revelations about Trump’s taxes and business struggles are major movers in the campaign.
It’s certainly helpful for Democratic nominee Joe Biden to have a hard number on which to peg those resentments. It’s far easier to connect with voters on the claim that President Trump pays only $750 a year than it is to say Trump pays “virtually no taxes.” It always helps when you can paint a word picture for voters, as Biden does with his new ad. (And, of course, stickers.)
Trump says that it is all you know what – it starts with a “f” and ends with an ooze. Of course, Trump could prove his case about the Times’ claims by doing what all of his predecessors in the past 46 years have done and release his taxes. But not only is he not doing that, he’s going to the mattresses to keep them from being revealed.
That seems kind of silly now, at least from a political point of view. His reasons for trying to keep his taxes from prosecutors certainly involve legal considerations for him and his family.
We could understand why for political reasons Trump wanted to keep his returns secret in 2016 since the story they tell, according to the Times and some of Trump’s own subsequent explanations, was not in keeping with his pitch as a business whiz. Huge losses leading to penny-ante tax payments isn’t a good look.
And, again, it may not be all about the politics here. The Times says Trump is battling the IRS over an audit that could end up with him having to cough up about $100 million. It wouldn’t be good to be poor mouthing the T men about terrible losses while spinning for voters how he cunningly gamed the tax code. But he was the one who ran for president while fighting a cataclysmic battle with the IRS, much as his 2016 opponent ran for president while being investigated for mishandling state secrets.
On the actual politics five weeks before the end of the election, though, the issue seems like one so well litigated for so long that the actual details aren’t likely to sway voters.
Right-leaning voters (and plenty of others) hate taxes and many no doubt admire Trump’s self-proclaimed skill in minimizing them – as long as it was done legally. As Judge Learned Hand put it: “Everybody does so, rich or poor; and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions. To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.”
Trump has also gone to pains to portray himself to supporters as a beneficent mogul. Like Herbert Hoover and John Kennedy before him, Trump donates his presidential salary (now $400,000) and has frequently talked about how much it has cost him to be president.
A lot of the stuff in the Times’ reporting – much like its exhaustive work about the empire Trump’s father built and shielded from the IRS to make his children so rich – falls into the gee whiz category for regular taxpayers. It’s fascinating (if disheartening) to read about all the time and effort that rich people put into squeezing every nickel out of each and every of the 2.4 million or so words in the federal tax code.
Or that thanks to the Obama administration’s 2009 stimulus efforts, Trump scored a $73 million windfall when a rule change let him apply huge losses in his regular business to the big profits in previous years from “The Celebrity Apprentice.”
There’s no doubt that this will not help Trump with his ongoing struggle with working-class white voters this time around, which is why Biden will be ringing up $750s like a cash register on Tuesday. The preferred narrative for the Blue Team is that Trump is selfish and corrupt, and they will try to use this as evidence of their claims.
One of the reasons that President Obama talked so much about increasing the taxes on rich people was that it’s so darned popular. It was no accident that Warren Buffett’s secretary became the most famous personal assistant since Jane Hathaway.
But while the Times report is chockablock with new details and insights, it doesn’t fundamentally change the public understanding about Trump the businessman. He did get elected with six corporate bankruptcies after all.
Part of what lessens the force of the blow for Trump is how much effort has gone into trying to get to his returns. Unless there was a line item for payments from Vladimir Putin, it’s hard to imagine the real thing living up to the hype.
Like much of the news of late, it’s not good for Trump, but it’s hard to see how this fundamentally changes perceptions of him as a person. Trump in 2016 was something of a mystery.
Four years later, it’s hard to imagine any American being unsure what to make of him.
THE RULEBOOK: STILL TRUE
“To judge from the conduct of the opposite parties, we shall be led to conclude that they will mutually hope to evince the justness of their opinions, and to increase the number of their converts by the loudness of their declamations and the bitterness of their invectives.” – Alexander Hamilton, in his general introduction to the Federalist Papers, Federalist No. 1
TIME OUT: ALL ABOUT THE TIMING
History: “On September 28, 1941, the Boston Red Sox’s Ted Williams plays a double-header against the Philadelphia Athletics on the last day of the regular season and gets six hits in eight trips to the plate, to boost his batting average to .406 and become the first player since Bill Terry in 1930 to hit .400. Williams, who spent his entire career with the Sox, played his final game exactly 19 years later, on September 28, 1960, at Boston’s Fenway Park and hit a home run in his last time at bat, for a career total of 521 homeruns. Williams was born on August 30, 1918, in San Diego, and began his major league career with the Red Sox in 1939. 1941 marked Williams’ best season. In addition to his .406 batting average–no major league player since him has hit .400–the left fielder led the league with 37 homers, 135 runs and had a slugging average of .735.”

WALLACE WANTS TO BE ‘AS INVISIBLE AS POSSIBLE’ FOR DEBATE
Fox News: “Chris Wallace, the host of ‘Fox News Sunday’ and moderator of the first presidential debate between President Trump and Joe Biden, said that he hopes to remain as ‘invisible as possible’ during their faceoff on Tuesday in Cleveland, Ohio. ‘I’m trying to get them to engage…to focus on the key issues…to give people at home a sense of why they want to vote for one versus the other,’ he said. ‘If I’ve done my job right, at the end of the night, people will say, ‘That was a great debate, who was the moderator?’’ The debate will focus on some of the key topics of the day, including the coronavirus pandemic, the economy and the violent protests that have erupted across the country. ‘Everything is different about 2020,’ Wallace said. ‘We’ve got the coronavirus, we’ve got this huge economic dislocation, now something of a recovery, we’ve got this racial tension in this country…the violence on the streets…you know, it’s just, it’s a different year. It makes it particularly tough because 90 minutes—the length of this debate—is a lot of time, but there is an awful lot to ask these two men about,’ he said.”
Urine trouble - Politico: “The 2020 campaign for the White House has reached the bizarre stage where the president wants his opponent drug tested before they debate — and his rival’s campaign responds with a potty joke. This latest in the race began Sunday morning when President Donald Trump used his Twitter feed to amplify unfounded statements that Joe Biden takes performance-enhancing drugs before their first face-off Tuesday night. ‘I will be strongly demanding a Drug Test of Sleepy Joe Biden prior to, or after, the Debate on Tuesday night. Naturally, I will agree to take one also,’ Trump wrote. … Even Biden had to chuckle at Trump’s latest taunts, although the Democratic nominee opted against saying anything… Later, the Biden campaign reconsidered. ‘Vice President Biden intends to deliver his debate answers in words. If the president thinks his best case is made in urine he can have at it,’ said Kate Bedingfield, Biden’s deputy campaign manager.”
VOTERS NARROWLY OPPOSE PRE-ELECTION COURT REPLACEMENT
Monmouth University: “American voters are split on the general question of whether the U.S. Senate should consider a nominee for the Supreme Court at the very end of a president’s term (47%) or if this should be put on hold until after the election (49%). … When asked specifically about the current vacancy created by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 46% of voters approve and 51% disapprove Trump trying to fill it before the election. However, that opinion is basically flipped when voters are asked if the Senate should hold hearings on his nominee – 53% say it should and 43% say it should not. In 2016, 73% of voters said that the Senate should hold hearings on Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland.”
Poll shows key demographic groups opposed - NYT: “Only 41 percent said they wanted Mr. Trump to choose a justice before November. More striking, the voters Mr. Trump and endangered Senate Republicans must reclaim to close the gap in the polls are even more opposed to a hasty pick: 62 percent of women, 63 percent of independents and 60 percent of college-educated white voters said they wanted the winner of the campaign to fill the seat.”
White House prepares ‘knife fighters’ to defend Barrett - Fox News: “The White House is mounting an ‘offensive’ communications strategy ahead of Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett's upcoming Senate confirmation fight, with aides describing an aggressive plan for ‘knife fighters’ to ‘fiercely’ defend the nominee ahead of what’s expected to be a heated battle on Capitol Hill. ... Senior White House officials told Fox News that the team is broken into two parts: one focused on communications and the other focused on guiding Barrett through the process on Capitol Hill. Senior officials argued the team is ‘uniquely equipped’ for the mission: The White House communications team will consist of White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, who is a graduate of Harvard Law School and will take on the role of ‘lead spokesperson.’ Deputy Press Secretary Brian Morgenstern, a graduate of Columbia Law School, and White House communications officials Alyssa Farah and Ben Williamson, who are veterans of Capitol Hill and who have unique relationships with Republican leadership in both chambers of Congress, are also on the team.”
BIDEN DRAWS EVEN TO TRUMP AMONG MALE VOTERS
Bloomberg: “Democrat Joe Biden holds an 8-point lead over President Donald Trump, 49% to 41%, in a New York Times/Siena College poll, helped by a wide lead among women voters. Biden leads among women by 53% to 37% but has also drawn level with Trump at 45%-45% among men, who typically lean Republican, according to the survey. … Some 62% of women, 63% of independents and 60% of college-educated white voters said they preferred that the winner of November’s election make the court selection. The poll showed that 57% of respondents said they support the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, against 38% who oppose it.”
Women drivers - WaPo: “Biden and vice-presidential nominee Sen. Kamala D. Harris (Calif.) lead Trump and Vice President [Mike] Pence by 53 percent to 43 percent among registered voters, statistically unchanged from the 12-point margin in a poll taken in August just before Democrats and Republicans held their conventions. Biden and Harris also have a 10-point advantage among likely voters, 54 percent to 44 percent. … A sizable gender gap continues to fuel Biden’s lead, with women making the difference in the current state of the race. Trump has a lead of 55 percent to 42 percent among male likely voters, but Biden has an even larger 65 percent to 34 percent advantage among female likely voters. Trump’s lead among men is about the same as his margin over Hillary Clinton in 2016, but Biden’s lead among women is more than twice as large as Clinton’s was then.”
Michigan, Wisconsin stay strong for Biden - NBC News: “Majorities of likely voters in Michigan and Wisconsin say the winner of the 2020 presidential election should get to fill the U.S. Supreme Court seat left vacant after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, as Democrat Joe Biden leads President Donald Trump in both states. Those are the results of two new NBC News/Marist polls of these two battleground states, which show Biden ahead of Trump by 8 points among likely voters in Michigan, 52 percent to 44 percent, and by 10 points in Wisconsin, 54 percent to 44 percent. The likely-voter numbers in Michigan are within that poll’s margin of error, while the numbers in Wisconsin are outside the margin of error.”
Steady lead in Minnesota - MPR News: “A new MPR News/Star Tribune/KARE-11 Minnesota Poll of 800 registered voters shows former Vice President Joe Biden leads President Donald Trump by 48-42 percent with 8 percent undecided. The 6 point lead is up 1 percentage point from the last Minnesota Poll in mid-May. The new poll shows Biden with a considerable lead among women and in the core Twin Cities, while Trump draws his strongest support from outside the metro area. … Most registered Minnesota voters—52 percent—disapprove of Trump’s job performance, according to the poll, about the same as the last Minnesota Poll found in mid-May.”
Maine split - Colby College: “The Colby poll showed that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden holds a comfortable statewide lead: 50 to 39 percent. However, in the Second Congressional District, the poll finds more or less a dead heat, with Biden netting 46 percent of the vote and President Donald Trump with 43 percent. ‘It’s certainly not a surprise that the president’s team is investing in the Second CD,’ said [Dan Shea, Colby College Government Department chair]. ‘There are a number of scenarios where one electoral vote could decide the presidency. Here again, it’s going to be a nail biter.’ … The poll asked if they thought Susan Collins should vote on a nominee as soon as possible or wait until either Donald Trump or Joe Biden is sworn into office. Responses to the question found that 58 percent felt Collins should wait, 35 percent said she should vote as soon as possible, and 7 percent were unsure.”
PELOSI TELLS DEMS: BE READY FOR HOUSE TO PICK A PRESIDENT
Politico: “Speaker Nancy Pelosi has begun mobilizing Democrats for the possibility that neither Joe Biden nor President Donald Trump will win an outright Electoral College victory, a once-in-a-century phenomenon that would send the fate of the presidency to the House of Representatives to decide. Under that scenario, which hasn’t happened since 1876, every state’s delegation gets a single vote. … And right now, Republicans control 26 delegations to Democrats’ 22, with Pennsylvania tied and Michigan a 7-6 plurality for Democrats, with a 14th seat held by independent Justin Amash. … Pelosi, in a Sunday letter to House Democrats, urged them to consider whether the House might be pulled into deciding who is president when determining where to focus resources on winning seats in November. This could lead to more concerted efforts by Democrats to win in states such as Montana and Alaska — typically Republican turf but where Democrats have been competitive statewide.”

SHOULD HAVE *AHEM* TIED THE KNOT SOONER
NDTV: “A man's marriage proposal was ruined by a runaway boat that sent him tumbling into water. A video of the proposal gone wrong was shared on Twitter by Theo Shantonas, where it has gone viral with thousands of views and puzzled comments. In the video, the unnamed man can be seen standing on one boat, while his fiancée-to-be stands on another. The scene was presumably filmed by someone standing on the deck. The man brings the two boats together and stands on the edge of one as he fishes out a ring and pops the big question. His partner, smiling broadly, appears to say yes, and the two reach out to embrace. Things, however, take an unlucky turn when the woman accidentally hits her boat's controls, sending it flying forward. As she lurches forward, shocked by the sudden movement, her leg hit the man in the face and sent him falling into the water. Luckily, the two were not injured.”

Exercising in the Heat
Stephen D. Ball
Human Environmental Sciences
In recent years, there have been several well-documented cases of highly conditioned athletes dying unexpectedly while exercising in the heat. Understanding what causes the body to overheat can help you prevent a heat-related illness.
What causes the body to overheat when exercising in hot environments?
At rest, the body is able to balance heat production and heat loss so that its temperature remains around 98 degrees Fahrenheit. However, body temperature begins to rise during exercise as it converts the chemical energy from food into the mechanical energy necessary for movement. The degree of increase is directly proportional to the intensity of the exercise bout. In other words, the harder you are exercising, the higher your body temperature becomes. When you exercise in average indoor or outdoor conditions, the body is usually able to adjust to the increase in body temperature. However, during hot conditions, the body loses its ability to radiate heat from its surface. In fact, when the air temperature exceeds body temperature (above 98 F), the body actually gains heat from the environment. In this case, evaporation, or the conversion of a liquid (sweat) to a gas, becomes the body's only legitimate defense against overheating. Millions of sweat glands on the surface of the skin secrete large amounts of liquid, which when evaporated, help to cool the skin, which in turn cools the blood and ultimately the body. Serious problems can arise because high air temperatures stimulate excessively large amounts of sweat production, which can lead to a dehydrated state. Dehydration leads to higher body temperature. Severely dehydrated individuals can suffer circulatory collapse and death. Heat illness is divided into three incremental stages (heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke), which, if not dealt with immediately, can lead to medical complications and even death.
What are heat cramps and what should I do to prevent them?
Heat cramps are involuntary muscle spasms that can occur during or following physical exertion. Generally, heat cramps result from an electrolyte imbalance due to excessive loss of salts. Direct pressure, massage and simple stretching of the cramped muscle should help alleviate the cramping. Heat cramps are the first sign of heat illness and are a signal to drink more water and/or decrease the intensity of physical exertion.
What is heat exhaustion and what prevents it?
Heat exhaustion is a more serious state of heat illness that usually occurs when a person has not become accustomed to exercising in the heat. Heat exhaustion especially can occur in someone who is not used to exercising in the heat if he or she has not consumed enough water before or during a workout. Heat exhaustion may or may not include collapse with or without consciousness. Symptoms include excessive sweating, cold, clammy skin, normal or slightly elevated body temperature, paleness, dizziness, weak and rapid pulse, shallow breathing, nausea and headache. Anyone experiencing these symptoms should immediately stop exercising and get into the shade, or better yet, get inside an air-conditioned building. An abundant amount of fluid should be consumed. If the situation seems severe enough, elevate the feet and seek medical help.
What is heat stroke and how can I prevent it?
The most advanced stage of heat illness is called heat stroke. In simple terms, heat stroke is a breakdown of the cooling mechanisms of the body, induced by high body temperature. Someone who is experiencing heat stroke may stop sweating altogether and the skin will appear dry and hot. The pulse is usually strong but rapid. The person may have labored and difficult breathing. Body temperature can exceed 106 F. Heat stroke is an emergency that requires immediate medical attention! Transport the person to the hospital as quickly as possible, ideally in wet sheets. In the meantime, cool the person by any means possible (hose down, apply ice packs, submerge body completely in cold or icy water). Remove as much clothing as possible and treat for shock by elevating the feet slightly.
My friends tell me that humidity causes heat-related illnesses, and I say it is the temperature. Which of us is right?
You are both correct. During hot conditions, the body loses its ability to radiate heat from its surface. Air temperature is a key factor in determining your risk of overheating, but the humidity level, or the air's water content, is equally important. Several deaths of football players have occurred with air temperatures below 75 F at 95 percent humidity levels. High humidity levels reduce the evaporation of sweat from the skin. Even though it may seem that you are sweating a lot when it is humid, the sweat is mostly rolling off the skin and is not really contributing much to the cooling process. Sweat alone does not cool the body. It is the evaporation of sweat that cools the body. The combination of high air temperatures and high humidity levels increases the risk of heat illness.
How do I measure my heart rate at rest and during exercise?
Measuring heart rate is often referred to as palpation. You can master it easily with a little practice.
- At rest (sitting or lying down), take your first two fingers and locate the radial pulse. This artery is found on the thumb side of your wrist on the underside of the arm. Use only the first two fingers; not the thumb, which can have its own pulse. Also, don’t press too hard or you could block the artery and won’t feel any pulse.
- After finding the pulse, look at your watch (or use a stopwatch) and count the number of beats in one minute. This number represents your minute heart rate or your resting heartbeat. You could also just count the number of beats in 30 seconds and multiply by two. The best time to get a true resting heartbeat is immediately upon waking up in the morning, before getting out of bed.
During exercise, you may have to stop what you are doing to find your pulse. However, do your best to locate it without stopping. Once you locate the pulse, count the number of beats in 10 seconds and multiply that number by six to get your exercise heart rate. For example, if you count 20 beats in 10 seconds, your exercise heart rate is 120 beats per minute (20 × 6 = 120). Speed up or slow down, based on your target heart rate zone.
How can I determine my target heart rate zone?
- Determine your maximum heart rate (MHR) by using this formula: 207 - (0.7 × age)
- Multiply your MHR by 0.55 = lower end of the target heart rate zone.
- Multiply your MHR by 0.90 = upper end of the target heart rate zone.
These two numbers represent your target heart rate zone. You should strive to stay between these numbers during your workout. Here is an example calculation for a 30-year-old woman:
- 207 - (0.7 × 30) = MHR of 186
- 186 × 0.55 = 102 beats per minute
- 186 × 0.90 = 167 beats per minute
Target heart rate zone = 102 to 167 beats per minute
The most effective way to manage heat illness is to prevent it. The following guidelines offer simple steps for the prevention of heat-related illness:
- Recognize that any form of physical exertion, not just exercise, can result in heat-related problems.
- Recognize that unfit individuals are more likely to suffer a heat-related illness.
- Recognize when temperature or humidity conditions might require you to decrease the intensity of your physical activity.
- Before strenuous physical activity, drink plenty of water and other fluids.
- Drink more fluids during the activity than your thirst dictates. It is difficult to drink too much.
- Drink plenty of fluids after your workout.
- As outside temperatures and humidity increase, gradually decrease your physical activity in the short term before increasing your activity back to the previous level over seven to 10 days. In other words, take it easy the first several times you are exposed to a hot environment before increasing your intensity level.
- Monitor your heart rate to make sure you are in your target heart rate zone.
- Monitor your weight before and after physical activity. If you have lost more than 3 percent of your total body weight prior to the next workout, skip the workout entirely. For example, 3 percent of 120 pounds is about 3.5 pounds, and 3 percent of 175 pounds is about 5 pounds.
- Consume adequate amounts of carbohydrates, especially fruits and vegetables, because they contain large amounts of water.
- Expose as much skin as possible to increase cooling through sweat evaporation. Don't forget to wear sunblock.
- Plan your physical activities for the cooler parts of the day.
- Recognize the early warning signs of heat illness, such as heat cramps, excessive sweating, cold, clammy skin, normal or slightly elevated body temperature, paleness, dizziness, weak and rapid pulse, shallow breathing, nausea and headache.

One of the many understated options in Mac OS X is the ability to natively convert audio to m4a straight within the OS X Finder — with none extra downloads or add-ons. Ogg Vorbis: The Vorbis format, usually referred to as Ogg Vorbis attributable to its use of the Ogg container, is a free and open source different to MP3 and AAC. Its foremost draw is that it is not restricted by patents, however that does not have an effect on you as a user※in fact, despite its open nature and comparable quality, it is much much less widespread than MP3 and AAC, which means fewer gamers are going to support it. As such, we don’t actually suggest it unless you feel very strongly about open supply.
Basically, Dwell supports audio information with 1 or 2 channels, with a resolution of 8, 16, 24 or 32-bit and any pattern frequency up to 192kHz. WAV and AIFF (AIFF-C) are the only codecs which Reside can load with out conversion. All different formats are transformed into WAV when being imported. The converted file is saved in Dwell’s Decoding Cache. (The places of the Decoding Cache may be discovered within the Further Information part of this article).
Compared with FLAC, M4A file is a MPEG-4 Audio File with AAC or ALAC codec, and has a much better compatibility with Apple devices, since it is developed by Apple. What’s extra, the size of M4A file is smaller than FLAC. Higher still, changing FLAC to M4A (with AAC codec) won’t loss too much quality, or without any quality loss in the event you convert FLAC to M4A with ALAC codec. That’s why more and more people select to convert FLAC to M4A.
This audio converter cell app is just obtainable for Android gadgets , however it’s free and has an impressive toolbox to transform and manipulate audio recordsdata. It helps all the popular audio formats, together with MP3, WAV and AAC, and has an extensive listing of features for enhancing and merging audio files as soon as they’re transformed. The audio modifying device is straightforward to use and allows you to zoom in on a portion of the audio file, trim the clip and set it as a ringtone or notification tone. This app also has a characteristic that merges a number of songs collectively to make a custom remix.
One other good thing about M4A information are that do not carry any Digital Rights Management (DRM) security related to completely different files that means they are much less restricted. Music Converter is following in the footsteps of the great-profitable Sensible Converter, giving folks a high quality free converter with the ability to upgrade to the Professional model for added features.
Why changing your FLAC files into M4A is a good suggestion? One of visit the up coming site potential causes is that you simply would possibly want to avoid wasting disk space on your arduous drives, with out that a lot audio high quality loss. Or, maybe, you wish to play your favorite songs in your hand-held machine, as most of those units do not offer help for the FLAC format.
Najlepszy konwerter FLAC na M4A dostępny na systemie Mac to niewątpliwie Konwerter Wideo dla Mac Apowersoft Jest to niezwykle funkcjonalny program przystosowany specjalnie do pracy z systemem Mac OS. W programie dostępnych jest wiele różnych formatów zapisu i innych dodatkowych ustawień. Aplikacja sprawdza się doskonale przy konwersji plików na formaty rozpoznawane przez urządzenia Apple, takie jak iPhone, iPad, iMovie, iTunes i aplikacje takie jak Closing Reduce Pro. Poniżej zamieściliśmy krótką instrukcję obsługi programu.
I ve tried a couple of of converter applications but they did not do nice job e.g flac has round 132Mb converted to only 30Mb. Based on wikipedia1 flac can be the name of the container for flac encoded files. Help batch FLAC to M4A conversion. Consists of capabilities of audio converter, audio extractor, CD ripper and CD burner. Helps big selection of audio file codecs such as AC3, AAC, MP3, FLAC, M4A, MKA, OGG, WAV, APE and so on.
FLAC which stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec is a file format which permits totally free lossless compression of digital audio. The MP3 format is a lossy information compression format that works by compressing and discarding tiny and irrelevant components of the audio file. It’s also a digital audio coding format formally often known as MPEG-1 or MPEG-2. This article will guide you thru the perfect FLAC to MP3 converters online.
The action plan is quite similar to the previous one. Google what you want, download a gentle and go ahead. What is best about this option is you can convert an entire folder of M4As to MP3. It’d take less time, however you may still damage the sound high quality. Really, you possibly can’t convert any audio file to MP3 and count on no deterioration in quality. And once more, there are such a lot of instruments for audio conversion that it is mindless to advocate a selected one, any will do.

Companies at Hannover Messe 2017
Yeah, Hannover Messe 2017! Spring break for automation pros! Okay, not really, especially since some of y’all don’t even do spring break. Anyway, you already know we’ll pack our bags and go cover the entire fair, from the 24th to the 28th of April. If you’re looking for information on companies at Hannover Messe 2017, you’ve come to the right place. You see…
We’ve checked out all the companies who said they’ll come play. We hope to cover most of them to keep you updated on new trends and pending launches and to bring you news about process automation in general. Furthermore, to help you optimize your time during the fair, we got the idea to create a list of 10 companies you should visit at Hannover Messe 2017.
In these first 10 process automation companies, you’ll find field instrumentation, solutions, and control systems aplenty. Of course, you know we’ll talk about the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industry 4.0, too. Can’t shut us up on those!
So are you ready for Hannover Messe 2017? If not, then read on and you will be! Stay tuned to Visaya; we’ll keep the info flowing from now through the fair.
See you there! #VisayaHM17 #HM17
The first of our must-see companies at Hannover Messe 2017 is ABB. This company always brings a lot of solutions for different segments. You can read our review of the CoriolisMaster FCB450 to get up to speed on one of ABB’s hottest devices. At the fair, you should also see ABB’s other products, like the company’s latest solutions to device management through fieldbuses and wireless.
The ABB reps also plan to cover the topic of industrial energy efficiency. As always, we must improve performance and save money in our plants, and you can have a beer or coffee with some of the people ready to make that happen.
You can find ABB in hall 11, stands A35 and D44.
Burket Fluid Control System
We haven’t covered this company yet on Visaya, but we’ll review its products soon. Furthermore, we’ll stop by the Burket stand and chat with the reps. They should have a bunch of instrumentation products, like flow meters, level transmitters, and pressure devices.
I suggest checking out the FLOWave, an interesting meter that follows high hygiene standards to measure low and non-conductive liquids, with no parts inside the tube. The FLOWave can bring a lot of benefits to your application.
Burket will have stand G16 in hall 9.
Emerson Automation Solutions
We go on so much about Emerson, you’d think we worked for them. (Note: We don’t.) That’s because Emerson consistently puts out outstanding solutions for all kinds of applications. We recently published an article about Emerson’s IIoT presentation at its annual user exchange, if you want to take a look.
As one of the companies at Hannover Messe 2017, Emerson will have its huge wireless portfolio, along with IIoT solutions based on operational performance, such as process production and energy management.
I vouch for the Micro Motion 5700 and the Rosemount 2140 as good products to check out at Emerson’s stand, as I’m sure the reps will bring these two to the fair. They also have system solutions and plant asset management, so you’ll spend some time going through everything!
You can find Emerson Automation Solutions in hall 15, stand G43 and hall 11, stand D44.
I know you know Endress+Hauser, right? This company provides excellent instrumentation solutions, and it launched some really cool news this year and last year, so check that out too.
If nothing else, you should see the flow meter portfolio. You can check out the new Proline 300/500, a product with nice features like Heartbeat technology and wireless communication. And the FMR10/FMR20 level transmitters have cool Bluetooth communication and nice setups for fairly low costs. I’ll bet you’ll see an IIoT presentation from this company, but I’m just guessing.
Head to hall 11, stands C43, C44, and E55 to find Endress+Hauser.
Another strong company in field instrumentation and automation components, you’ve surely heard about it. We haven’t reviewed any products from IFM but we hope to do so soon.
We like the SM series magnetic inductive flow meter, a compact, simple, and efficient device. While you’re there, you can ask the reps for a shorter name next time as well. Just kidding. They should have plenty of products for level and pressure measurement too. Ask about their thoughts on IO-Link, as they seem eager to talk about it.
You can find IFM in hall 9, stands D06 and D36.
This company has a huge range of instrumentation solutions, with devices for temperature, pressure, level, flow, liquid analysis, and more. It also has solutions to complement the instrumentation portfolio, like control and recording.
JUMO’s Hannover Messe 2017 message this year – “Smart sensors for the factories of tomorrow and future-oriented systems” – sounds good! The reps will bring new temperature and sensor devices based on the company’s IO-Link portfolio, so you can check those out too.
JUMO has stand C28 in hall 11.
This company produces analysis products like density meters, thermal analyses, refractometers, and others. We’d like to point out the pH package, which has a benchtop pH meter, portable pH meter, and software.
We have yet to cover analysis on Visaya, but we’ll get there eventually. In the meantime, we’ll talk to the reps and check out the products at Hannover Messe to keep you updated.
You can find Mettler-Toledo in hall 8, stand D20.
Yeah, you know Pepperl+Fuchs. It offers a lot of products for connectivity and fieldwork, and now it owns the brand ECOM, bringing mobility to the portfolio.
You should have a peek at the new ECOM products. I’ll bet you’ll see the new portfolio and how the products can support your process. You’ll also see industrial sensors and other instrumentation to provide connectivity in your plant.
Pepperl+Fuchs will be in hall 9 at stands D06, D68, and D76.
Yep, another cool company! This one already has presentations for Hannover Messe’s key topics nailed down, so you should keep an eye on it.
The first topic is networking and seamless integration. The second is data sovereignty and security. Last but not least, they’ll address applications, where to implement these new solutions in your process. Pretty slick, SICK!
You can find SICK in hall 9, stand F18 and hall P11, stand C20.
Finally (only because they come last in the alphabet, we promise), we have our Japanese friends! You already know the company and its huge portfolio covering flow, temperature, pressure, device management, and control systems.
When you visit the Yokogawa crew, and check out the ROTAMASS Total Insight that we reviewed here at Visaya. You should take a glance at the huge wireless portfolio and control system structures too.
Yokogawa has stand D68 in hall 9 and D44 in hall 11.
Conclusion: Top 10 companies at Hannover Messe 2017
And there you have it! The must-see companies at Hannover Messe 2017 and the products and presentations to check out. If you plan to go to this fair, then you should at least stop by the stands listed here.

Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins' "Gratitude Era" continued on this week's WWE RAW from Cleveland, but the more interesting happenings came after the show.
We noted back in the summer how Ryder and Hawkins had started tweeting about their "Gratitude Era" movement and encouraging fans to help them usher the new era in. Ryder told fans in July that this is an "era of turning the negatives into positives, an era of no more complaining, an era of showing gratitude."
This week's RAW saw Ryder and Hawkins lose a non-title match to RAW Tag Team Champions The Viking Raiders, as seen in the video above. Below is post-show video of The Gratitude Era founders pushing the movement.
The interviewer asked them how it felt to take another loss, but Hawkins wasn't trying to hear the negativity. Ryder went on about how they were announced in the 2019 WWE Draft picks that were revealed on The Bump.
"Come on man, a loss? Where's your positivity, where's your gratitude?," Hawkins asked.
"Win or lose, never defeated," Ryder proclaimed. "That's on our shirt, man. Listen, it's all about gratitude, OK? We got drafted to Monday Night RAW. We got drafted via The Bump. You didn't see The Bump? The Bump should be paying us for this plug, bro."
Hawkins continued, "We got sponsored by The Bump. That's a pretty big deal. There's some gratitude in that. I'm grateful for The Bump."
"And I'm grateful we wrestled the RAW Tag Team Champions. We got a taste of The Vikings," Ryder added.
"On Monday Night RAW. The longest running weekly episodic show in television history. We were on that tonight. Were you?," Hawkins asked the interviewer. "No, your hand's on dot-com now, that's about it."
"YouTube, also. And Facebook I'm sure. That's three things. You should be grateful for that," Ryder yelled at the interviewer.
Hawkins yelled, "That's a lot of digital platforms that we're going to be on!"
Ryder calmed Hawkins down and revealed their new nickname or catchphrase - The PPF.
"He should be grateful because he's interviewing The PPF of the WWE," Ryder said. "The Past, Present, and Future."
Ryder and Hawkins then ended the segment with smiles.
The former RAW Tag Team Champions also had interesting comments on Twitter. Not only did they make their own comments, but they re-tweeted a post from the official WWE Universe account that asked where their pyro was this week.
Hawkins wrote, "No pyro this week. But maybe the next. Either way, @ZackRyder & I are full of #GRATITUDE each and every Monday on #RAW"
"OMG! @TheCurtHawkins & I talked...had an entrance...and wrestled the Tag Team Champions tonight on #Raw! SO GRATEFUL FOR THAT! #GratitudeEra," Ryder added.
Ryder also re-tweeted a fan photo of the two former EdgeHeads in the ring and wrote, "GREAT PIC! I'm grateful that you posted it!"
There's a lot of fan speculation on what the inspiration is for this new promo material from Ryder and Hawkins, with some guessing that this could be related to talks from WWE higher-ups.
You can see the related tweets and video below:
GREAT PIC! I'm grateful that you posted it! https://t.co/NujciPayDE— Matt Cardona (@ZackRyder) October 22, 2019

Shifting up a league doesn’t all the time carry success. The rewards may be higher, but the competitors will be more durable. So it’s for the Vw Scirocco 2019. The one-time Nissan Qashqai and Kia Sportage rival has been reinvented as a dearer SUV, so now it’s up against formidable prestige-badged competition such because the BMW X1.
Luckily, the new Vw Scirocco 2019 builds on the strengths of the authentic, offering more room, a classier feel and improved efficiency. It’s nonetheless designed primarily for on-road use, but four-wheel-drive 4Motion versions now function adjustable drive modes that allow you to sort out totally different conditions.
Engines range from a 1.4-litre petrol with 123bhp to a 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel with 237bhp, though the lowest-powered fashions include front-wheel drive and a handbook gearbox only. If you need an automated ‘box and four-wheel drive, you’ll want to take a look at engines with 148bhp and above.
Learn on over the next few pages for every part it’s essential know in regards to the Vw Scirocco 2019, together with which engine and trim to decide on. And do not forget to go to our new car deals to see if you can get a good discount off a Vw Scirocco 2019.
The perfect-selling Vw Scirocco 2019 is the 148bhp 2.0-litre diesel model (badged 2.0 TDI 150) and it is easy to see why; it provides a positive blend of performance and fuel economy, whereas the cheaper 115 model (with 113bhp) feels slightly in need of puff. There’s additionally a 190 version of the 2.0 TDI engine that delivers plenty of punch but is relatively dear, while the range-topping 240 model brings yet more pace for an much more eyebrow-raising price.
In the event you’re extra fascinated with petrol power, the entry-level 125 model puts out 123bhp from its turbocharged 1.Four-litre engine. Nevertheless, whereas it is the most inexpensive mannequin in the vary, it struggles a bit up inclines, especially when loaded as much as the gunnels. The 150 model is better, but nonetheless lacks the low-rev pulling energy of the diesels.
As for the 2.0-litre 180 petrol engine, it feels quick and is fast off the road, thanks to all-wheel drive coming as standard. It doesn’t fairly have the in-gear flexibility of the diesels, although, but round town you’ll have little issue with the respectable performance it affords and out on the motorway there’s no drawback overtaking.
By small SUV requirements, the Vw Scirocco 2019 rides very well indeed. It smooths over larger imperfections, akin to pace bumps, higher than the BMW X1, yet the suspension is still agency sufficient to stop the body from bouncing up and down too much alongside undulating roads.
Patched up roads and broken Tarmac can unsettle the Vw Scirocco 2019 somewhat – particularly if you choose a version with big alloy wheels – however compared with its key rivals the Vw Scirocco 2019 is snug. Even the sporty R-line trim is bearable, if inferior to lesser models. If you need a extra settled journey, you’ll want to decide on something with a decrease centre of gravity, reminiscent of a VW Golf.
We would not bother with the Vw Scirocco 2019 optional adaptive suspension. It would not improve the trip that much and there are more worthwhile extras to spend your money on.
The Vw Scirocco 2019 handles more like a standard hatchback than a lot of its SUV rivals; it is genuinely pleasurable to drive. Some could feel the steering is a little too mild, nevertheless it’s exact, making the automotive easy to put on the highway. There is not too much physique roll by corners and all variations have loads of grip, though the four-wheel-drive 4Motion fashions unsurprisingly offer better traction in slippery situations.
True, the X1 and Seat Ateca are much more agile by way of the twisty bits, however the Vw Scirocco 2019 outshines most other small SUVs, including the Nissan Qashqai and Kia Sportage. The R-line model is out there with sports suspension but this doesn’t make the Vw Scirocco 2019 any more fun.
4Motion fashions add a dial next to the gearlever that means that you can select different modes depending on the terrain and provoke a hill descent system. An extra choice is adaptive chassis control – this allows you to stiffen or soften the suspension to prioritise either trip consolation or flatter handling.
The petrol engines are especially smooth, even when being labored laborious, and whereas the diesels sound a bit clattery at tickover and if you really put your foot down, they’re nonetheless muted at a cruise and far from raucous when accelerating. That stated, the diesel engines within the rival X1 are barely quieter.
At excessive speeds, you’ll hear a flutter of wind noise around the Vw Scirocco 2019 door mirrors, however just about no street noise unless you opt for a version with actually large alloy wheels. The handbook gearbox is light and easy to use, whereas the DSG computerized is easy and soothing the overwhelming majority of the time, with solely the occasional jerk at low speeds.

But that 200 minute wait is just not something I can get behind.
And if you’re out of luck with the Fastpasses and waiting is your only option, spending half of your day in line for a popular attraction is bound to make anyone cranky. So what’s a girl (or guy) to do when your must-do line is hours long? The answer is simple, and it’s super easy too!
Chris and I visited Pandora way back when it first opened last year. I was never a huge fan of Avatar so I was a bit skeptical about the new land but I ended up loving it. There’s so much to photograph and Flight of Passage is easily the best ride at Disney.
I’m not kidding, the ride is ah-mazing.
I know a lot of people check the Fastpass+ page a lot to see if they can grab one of those coveted Fastpasses for the ride. They’re hard to come by and if you don’t grab them when your window opens to book them then the chances are slim that you’ll be able to grab one at all. Slim, but not impossible.
But what if you can’t get a Fastpass? Are you just out of luck?
There are a few other ways to skip long lines at Disney’s Pandora.
+ Get to DAK before the park opens
I’m not a morning person at all so this isn’t my style but you can get to Animal Kingdom and line up for Pandora before the park opens. Once they start letting people in you can do your fast walk (don’t run!) to the ride and get in line early. My only suggestion is to PLEASE keep your party together because it’s so annoying to have one person run up to get a primo spot and have the other 5 people in their party have to push their way in front to join them.
Don’t be that person y’all. Please don’t.
+ Jump in line right before the park closes
This is more my speed and Chris and I do it with popular rides all the time. All the Fastpass people have gotten in line by then which means the line will start moving faster for non-Fastpassers. That two hour wait can easily drop down to 60-90 minutes (depending) and you’ll spend way less time in line. Plus, the people waiting at the end of the night are much nicer than those who who are waiting in the hot sun all day. We’ve made quite a few line buddies at the end of the night and it’s always fun!
+ Check for Fastpasses the morning you’re heading to the parks
While this isn’t always guaranteed I’ve found that Disney sometimes releases more Fastpasses for the popular rides the morning of. So if you’ve been checking Disney’s My Experience App every day up until your trip with no luck, you may want to try again the morning of. You may get lucky!
And on that note, keep trying every day up until your park day. People release Fastpasses all the time and you may get lucky and snatch one up!
These methods aren’t always fool-proof and you may not always get lucky with a short wait. If that happens, come armed with a few games to play on your phone or get chummy with the people around you. I swear that line waiting is more fun when you make friends!
You can apply these rules to any of the popular rides at Disney (we’ve jumped in line many times for Frozen at Epcot right before the park closed!) so that you have more time during the day for other attractions. It really is our favorite way to get mostly everything done.
Here are a few of my other favorite Disney secrets!

Credit Suisse and UBS may see a possible merger as the chairmen of both banks are already considering creating a single European banking giant, according to reports.
The move would create one of Europe's largest financial institutions, and could boost the efforts of both to gain valuable market share in Asia. Consultants from McKinsey & Company have reportedly been tapped to draw up plans for a "mega-merger."
Reported by vetted financial blog Inside Paradeplatz, the merger project has been named Signal and is headed by UBS chairman, Axel Weber, who is in talks with Urs Rohner from Credit Suisse. Weber is said to have already warned Finance Minister Ueli Maurer and the Federal Financial Market Supervisory Authority of the planned merger.
Weber is likely to become the chairman of the combined entity, which means someone from Credit Suisse will fill the position of CEO.
With annual revenues of more than $30bn, the UBS Group is a multinational investment bank and financial services company founded and based in Switzerland. Credit Suisse Group is a global wealth manager, investment bank and financial services firm founded and based in Switzerland. Headquartered in Zürich, it maintains offices in all major financial centres around the world, and has annual revenues of more than $24bn.
If approved, the merged entity would be one of Europe's largest investment entities and on a par with Wall Street giants Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and Wells Fargo.

ANN ARBOR, MI – With distance learning becoming a necessity across the country due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, Ann Arbor Public Schools is considering a new system designed to connect teachers, students and families more efficiently.
The district brought the proposed purchase of the Schoology platform before its Board of Education for a first reading Wednesday, April 29. If approved, the system would cost $168,000 in its first year and be paid for with Title I CARES Act funding. Title I funding would cover the cost in its second and third years, which would cost $225,000 and $234,000, respectively.
The learning platform would be interoperable with its current Powerschool system, creating more efficient communications between teachers and parents and better ease of access for younger students, Ann Arbor Public Schools Superintendent Jeanice Swift said.
“We feel very strongly that the COVID crisis has made it where our job in communication is more challenging than ever,” Swift said. “We’ve heard from our teachers and from our families that this has been an ongoing need, but has been more exacerbated by this distance learning format.”
District leaders touted Schoology’s integration with Powerschool, which acquired it in 2019, saving teachers time in areas like grading, sharing academic content online and professional development.
Since Ann Arbor schools canceled in-person classes in mid-March due to the spread of COVID-19, Interim Executive Director of Instructional and Information Technology Heather Kellstrom said numerous calls from parents have stressed the need for a one-stop-shop to check their child’s grades and communications from teachers.
“From the 7,600 parent phone calls that we’ve taken, (parents have) really struggled to piece all of the learning components together,” Kellstrom said. “We can put all of our other third-party products in and embed them in this environment and cut down some costs in other places, because we won’t over time need some of those tools to get the job done.”
The district estimates the purchase would save it about $65,000 in online licensing in the first year and another $130,000 in the second year of the agreement. Savings would be realized by streamlining other online licensing costs, eventually phasing out current learning platforms like FileMaker and SchoolMessenger.
Ann Arbor Public Schools would launch the program during a trial run in the spring and summer, with volunteer teachers learning the program so they can help implement the system in the district by fall 2020, should the board approve the purchase.
Board members said they hoped to get a better sense of how the program works with teachers in the coming weeks, with ease of access and making online learning more efficient for all parties being key factors.
"I wouldn’t want to add to the things parents are juggling or add to the things teachers are juggling,” Board member Jessica Kelly said. “So the integration of those, I appreciate.”
Board member Jeff Gaynor shared some anecdotal concerns he’s heard from parents about the platform and whether making teachers learn how to navigate a new system will create efficiency.
"Some concerns are that this is just another new platform for teachers that may be difficult to learn,” Gaynor said. “... Is this stemming from an administrative desire to have reach into all of the data, or is it really going to improve teacher practice and student ease?”
If purchased, the district would be able to cancel the three-year contract with a 60-day notice.
With uncertainty still surrounding how learning will take place in the fall, whether it be in-person classes, fully online or a hybrid of the two, Assistant Superintendent Dawn Linden said it is important to have a learning system in place that will maximize efficiency for students, parents and teachers.
"We’re wanting not to be in a place where we’re ever caught off guard again,” Linden said. “We want to be ahead of the curve and prepared. This tool has all of the components that we could ever need if we did have to go fully online again.”

Take your Employee Central Payroll system to the next level (Part 2)Take your Employee Central Payroll system to the next level (Part 2) https://spinifexit.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/SpinifexIT-April-blog_Take-your-Employee-Central-Payroll-system-to-the-next-level-part-2-featured-image-final-version-1024x576.png 1024 576 SpinifexIT https://spinifexit.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/SpinifexIT-April-blog_Take-your-Employee-Central-Payroll-system-to-the-next-level-part-2-featured-image-final-version-1024x576.png
In this blog, we’ll step back to consider some of the challenges during implementation, both for existing on-premise customers deciding to migrate to Employee Central Payroll (ECP) and for new Customers planning to implement ECP.
This blog will focus on the Payroll Migration, but of course, you still need to implement Employee Central.
If you already have Employee Central implemented and connected to your on-premise solution, then the migration process could be much simpler as you may be able to just focus on the ECP side and know that the Employee Central configuration and setup is already there.
This blog comes with a FREE planning checklist.
Download it here and use it as your guide.
Moving from On-Premise? Implement, Reimplement or Migrate your Payroll
Many companies who are looking to move to Employee Central Payroll will be existing SAP On-Premise customers. If you fall into this category, you need to consider how much of your existing Payroll configuration and setup you would want to move to the Employee Central Payroll Solution.
Migrate your System
The intent of the migration is to move your configuration, and historical employee data (including payroll history) to the new Employee Central Payroll solution with the aim that it will run with minimal changes. This means less re-configuration, less testing and that you can continue to use your new system to report historical data.
Reimplement your Payroll
In some cases, customers may have areas that they have felt have always been a challenge.
For example: There may be an old configuration you wish to remove, or you want to reconfigure some payroll rules to operate differently.
This is often a perfect time to do this as you have a project team and can incorporate this work into the existing project. It is also lower risk as you are only changing some areas of the configuration.
Save yourself and your company hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars!
The best course of action is to begin planning now, so you can review all the options available to you. Part of this is learning the prerequisites you’ll need to support your project more efficiently.
Aside from the migration of the payroll configuration, there are many other areas to also consider.
Some of these include:
- Will I migrate my prior history for the employees? For example: Do you move your payroll results, employee history, finance postings, year to date results into the new system?
- How do I best perform Parallel runs?
- Do I migrate my existing ABAP reports and other functionality into the new system?
- For any reports being migrated, how will I modify and maintain these into the future?
- Can all of my reports (Either custom reports or standard SAP reports) be executed from Employee Central, or by the Managers themselves
- How will I cater for my Adhoc Requests that come up. Often we see customers go from 20-30 go live reports to hundreds in a period of 12 months. If you have adhoc requests, you want to know how you will cater for these
- Will all your custom reports and manual reports be able to fit into the Payroll Control Center process
- If I need additional Payroll Control Center checks – How can I add these?

If you need help assessing these questions further, feel free to talk to us, or even comment down below. We can schedule a quick discussion or even refer you to some of our customers who have used our solutions for their own implementations.
Ready to move to Employee Central Payroll?
The Easy Migration solution will help you de-risk and accelerate your migration to ECP with an integrated toolset that allows full configuration and data migration copies from On-Premise to ECP, reports to validate full payroll results, runs repeated payroll tests, and identifies data and configuration inconsistencies between source and target systems for corrections.
Our Easy Migration solution helps you complete your ECP migration process 90% faster than traditional implementation times. It can help you:
- dentify and migrate your current payroll configuration to Employee Central Payroll.
- Copy current employee data and results into the new system, and
- Run reconciliation reports fast using built-in reports, powered by our SAP-Certified reporting solution
Our Easy Migration solution is also 100% integrated with other SpinifexIT solutions so it is an easy step to transition to our other products if you have the need.
What if I have already implemented ECP or plan to remain on-premise for the moment?
If you have already moved to Employee Central Payroll, or are happy to just stay with your on-premise solution for the moment, this doesn’t mean that you cannot look to areas to improve.
About 90% or more of the customers who we speak to, already have Employee Central Payroll or SAP Payroll installed and running, and are looking to improve some of their day to day manual processes.
In this case, the SpinifexIT solutions can just be installed into your existing system. The way that most customers then start to use the solutions is as follows:
- Train on how to use the solutions – This is about 3-5 days training upfront
- Identify the time-consuming processes that your team is doing, and then replace these with any of our 120 pre-delivered reports. You can also build custom reports to support your HR and Payroll information requirements. This immediately removes a lot of manual steps and starts to free up your team. Here is the YouTube case study.
- New, ad hoc requests can be delivered through Easy Reporter. Reports can be scheduled and emailed out directly to the required person so it completely removes the need for manual processing.
- If your payroll has Year End processes for Australia, USA or Canada, start to use our predefined Year End solutions.
- From here, you can continue to replace your existing manual processes with the automated Easy Reporter steps.
Over a quick period, you will be able to automate the extraction, generation and sending of your reports. Instead of spending a lot of time and effort manually building the perfect set of reports, your team can then focus on delivering a high quality service to your customers.
Employee Central Payroll is a powerful solution, but like most software solutions, will have areas that can be further streamlined. Whether this is during the implementation, streamlining payroll processes, report building or reconciliation steps, there are always many ways to further take advantage of your ECP solution.
If you decide to walk the SpinifexIT path, you will find that we are not just a software solution that is dropped into your system and rarely used.
Our team of expert consultants will work directly with your team right through the implementation and into go live to ensure you use the best practice methods from the start and build long lasting processes, based on the best practices we have seen at hundreds of other customers.
The reporting and Payroll Control Center solution (discussed in Part 1) is just part of the SpinifexIT solution set, but if you are moving to Employee Central Payroll, this is a key building block for your journey.
Along the way, you may have a need for our other solutions, and the good thing is that most of our solutions leverage off of Easy Reporter, so you are starting with the best of breed solution.
SpinifexIT solutions can be installed in a matter of hours into your system, but if you are using any of our partner’s hosted Employee Central Payroll or SAP Payroll Solutions, then our solutions are already available in their environments. Make sure to ask them about us!
Once again, here’s your simplified implementation checklist, so you can talk about your plans with your implementation partner.
As always, feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] for any questions.
On a side note, we hope you’re doing well, and that you and your loved ones are healthy, safe and well despite what the world is going through. We’re all in this together, and SpinifexIT will always be here to support you if you need help with our solutions.

Trump's hopes fade in Wisconsin as 'greatest economy' boast unravels
Photo: Brendan Smialowski / AFP / Getty Images
Gross, cruel, chaotic. Donald Trump was called many things. Even some of his followers had a hard time grasping the darker aspects of his personality. Until recently, however, they trusted the president on one important issue: the economy.
But with only 16 days to go before the election, there are clear signs that Trump's claims of "creating the biggest economy we have ever had in our country's history" are fading.

Perhaps nowhere is Trump more worrying than in Wisconsin.
Losing Wisconsin ended Hilary Clinton's presidency in 2016. As we know, she failed to prevail, suspecting a victory that came from Trump's promises to end unfair trade practices that had harmed the state dairy industry and job restoration in manufacturing was withdrawn.
By February, Trump could have confidently boasted that he had kept his promises. Unemployment had fallen to record lows in the state, production was returning - albeit at the same snail's pace as under Obama. The headlines looked good. Then came the coronavirus - a disease that has now ravaged the state and has subsequently exposed the fault lines under those headlines.
The virus and economy now appear to have turned into a terrible hybrid, and the fragile recovery from the initial spike in infections is now threatened by new spikes in infections. Last week, Wisconsin reported 3,747 cases in one day, the highest level since the outbreak and more than the California daily average, a state of six times 5.8 million in Wisconsin.
“The economy is always big. It's only been this year that it's so closely linked to the pandemic that it's difficult to separate, "said Mark Graul, a Republican strategist who led George W. Bush's 2004 re-election race in Wisconsin.
If the pandemic had never happened and the economy was buzzing, "that's all President Trump would talk about" - but now just someone is talking about the virus and what it is doing to the economy.
A recent CNN poll found that Trump and his rival, former Vice President Joe Biden, were who would do better with the economy at 49% per person among registered voters. Back in May, 54% of registered voters said Trump would handle the economy better, compared with 42% for Biden.
Graul expects a close race. Trump beat Clinton in Wisconsin by just 0.77% in 2016. In the polls, Biden is currently well 6.5% ahead of the state, but in a year when nothing else can happen until November 3.
In this volatile environment, progressives have won voters and pondered the fragility of the economy that Trump had hoped would re-elect him.
Earlier this month, advocacy group Opportunity Wisconsin hosted a town hall with Wisconsinites from that state talking about how they view Trump's economy. It wasn't a pretty picture.
For an hour, Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin held a discussion with dairy farmers and cheese makers about friends and neighbors who had already ceased business before the pandemic began. University of Wisconsin history professor Selika Ducksworth-Lawton spoke insistently about how the virus has devastated color communities in the state. “For marginalized communities, this has been terrible. There have been some people who have almost called it ethnic cleansing, "she said. "We have failed in the most basic requirements of a nation-state."

But perhaps the clearest example of the problems that preceded and sadly highlighted the pandemic was Kyra Swenson, an early childhood educator from Madison. "I'm a teacher, I'm not a business owner. I don't have a lot of wealth. Me and my husband are just trying to make life vibrate for us and our two children," said Swenson.
Even before the pandemic, she said she felt she was getting very little help. Early childhood educators in Wisconsin make about $ 10 an hour and receive no benefits. "We don't get a retirement account. We don't care what Wall Street is doing. We don't invest in it. We try to pay our rent, to pay for food."
A third of Wisconsin's early childhood educators receive federal aid "because it is so difficult for us to do it."
Trump's biggest political achievement - a $ 1.5 billion tax cut billed as a "middle class miracle" - actually increased her family's taxes, she said. "It didn't help us. That's the reality."
And the Trump administration's response to the pandemic has been "terrifying," she said. She believes it's no coincidence that rates in Wisconsin have risen since children and students went back to school - a move that came after Trump said children couldn't spread the coronavirus, an opinion widely debunked has been. "It didn't have to be that bad," she said.
Opportunity Wisconsin, backed by the progressive advocacy group Hub Project, has achieved remarkable success in turning people's minds about Trump's economic success through targeted messaging. But there were major obstacles to overcome, and not just because it is notoriously difficult to change opinions.
Republicans have been remarkably successful in their economic news, not least in Wisconsin. Since Ronald Reagan, the Republican Party has promoted the idea that there is a simple formula for economic success: lower taxes, less regulation, and a smaller government. That message, repeated over and over again for 40 years, helped Wisconsin move from a bastion of progressive politics to an anti-union right-wing economic experimentation laboratory, led by former governor Scott Walker and former House Speaker Paul Ryan and was supported by the Koch brothers.

That right shift derailed in 2018 with the fall of Walker and the appointment of Democrat Tony Evers after a coordinated effort by progressives to depose the Republican star.
Opportunity Wisconsin began with a poll of 27,000 voters who identified the group as Wisconsinites who agreed with conservative economic ideas - but had doubts about the direction the economy was going and who were left behind.
With the study, the group targeted 500,000 people who were split into two groups. You received targeted messages that focused on key economic metrics, profiling stories from real Wisconsinites struggling, people who had lost jobs under Trump, farms and livelihoods. All the messages that underscored the problems that had hurt people in the state before the pandemic. A control group that received no messages was used to measure how successful the effort had been.
A follow-up poll found that among the voters who received the targeted messages:
Beliefs that Trump's policies helped Wisconsin fell 8.3%.
Trump's tax bill approval for 2017 fell 5.2%.
Belief that Trump's economy works for everyone fell 3.6%.
Trump's approval of the economy fell 2.3%.
Those are remarkable numbers in any social experiment, and especially in a state where Trump won by such a small margin.
Dana Bye, campaign leader for the Hub project, believes changing focus has helped change people's minds. "Nationally and in Wisconsin, people look at the stock market and the employment numbers and think this is the economy. But often, their personal experiences are not reflected in those macro characters," she said.
Related: US passes 8 million coronavirus cases as death toll nears 220,000
Adjusted for inflation, Wisconsin wages rose only 73 ¢ in 40 years, Bye said. "That's not a statistic you hear often. Instead, we hear about GDP or the stock market."
"The big challenge in discussing the economy is that people don't look past those big macro numbers. The pandemic has crystallized the idea that there is an economy for the rich and one for the workers."
If enough people get that message, Trump's greatest strength in Wisconsin could be his greatest weakness.

An extended cold front has moved through the Winnebago land area, bringing cooler temperatures, rain and some wind into the general area. This was a huge departure from the previous record setting heat seen during the month of July. Lake Winnebago has seen a huge reduction in the top water algae, along with a serious and drastic water temperature change. Water temps have plummeted to around 70 degrees, falling from peaks of 91 degrees several weeks ago. Water clarity is variable around the lake, but generally allows visibility to about 12 Inches (very stained). Another large fly hatch occurred over large stretches of the lake this past week.
Fishermen have suffered through the weather changes. Many of the sport species of fish are in negative feeding moods, making for many frustrated anglers during the extended cold front. However, there are days of solid activity, especially with perch.
The perch bite continues to be best on the southern third of the lake. Large groups of anglers can be found on the east shore from Pipe down to Fond du Lac. To a lesser extent the same can be said for the west shore starting a t Kalibus Reef , following the weed lines down to Fond du Lac.
In Fond du Lac, there have been solid schools of perch working along the front of Lakeside Park, working all the way out to the Third Reef. This is one of the better bites on the lake currently. Fisherman’s Road launch is parked shut nearly daily, as schools of perch can be found throughout this general area. The number of fish being reported has been declining in the area, partially due to the heavy pressure by fishermen. It is not unusual to find packs of boats in the 20-40 boat range in a tight area.
The walleye bite has been shut down. It is the “dog days of August” so that is not unexpected. Earlier this week an active school of mid-sized eyes were present just south of Columbia Park. These fish were concentrated in 10-13 feet of water, and liked the wobble of the Salmo Hornets behind Off Shore Planner Boards. By Sunday, these fish had disappeared or had lock jaw. We trolled this area and found large schools of fish on the graph that were unwilling to consume any presentation. Reduced water clarity may be a contributing factor also.
Unfortunately, walleyes have ample food source currently. The large fly hatch provides food 24/7. The young of the year are now ready for consumption, and a mainstay of the walleye’s diet. These walleyes have food available constantly, so there is no need to chase a meal. Reaction strikes are your best bet right now.
White Bass continue to be active in the deeper water. Try trolling crank baits at 2.2 to 3.0 mph to target these fish in the upper levels of the water column.
Black Bass (Small and Large) were very scarce for us this week as we made several attempts to attract these fish. The same was true for Northern Pike.
And there are the sheepheads…..and more sheepheads…and more sheepheads….and more sheepheads.
I wish I had more to report, but that is the reality of Lake Winnebago right now.
River Haus is in the process of adding a new parking lot to the property, which will give some added parking to the sport shop in Fond du Lac. Don has brought in some specialty “perch worms” for the perch jerkers. Be sure to stop by on Brooke Street to check out a great selection of live and artificial baits.
Get on the water soon. It will be hunting season in less than a month, so better stock up that freezer full of filets for the Fall fish fries. firstname.lastname@example.org is my email. Have a great week!

I have a concern regarding the Code Review site: It seems to me that when a question is posted for code review that there really can be multiple correct answers.
In fact, the FAQ states:
You should only ask practical, answerable questions based on actual problems that you face. Chatty, open-ended questions diminish the usefulness of our site and push other questions off the front page.
But as I read through many of the questions, it seems that many of them are "un-answerable". So my concern here is how useful it is. Perhaps a different format for accepting the correct answers would help, such as allowing the user to pick the top 3 useful suggestions.
Or am I missing some key information here?

The eleventh round of 2020 Monster Energy Supercross is underway in Salt Lake City, Utah. It was thought that the track for SLC 1 would be a little easier than normal, seeing as everyone has just endured a three-month break. That certainly seems to be the case following the practice sessions. How does the layout actually look inside of Rice Eccles Stadium? Adam Cianciarulo’s GoPro footage from qualifying is below. Cianciarulo ended up as the third-fastest qualifier.

To gain insight into the neurophysiological mechanisms involved in Zen meditation, we evaluated the effects of focused attention (FA) on breathing movements in the lower abdomen (Tanden) in novices. We investigated hemodynamic changes in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), an attention-related brain region, using 24-channel near-infrared spectroscopy during a 20-minute session of FA on Tanden breathing in 15 healthy volunteers. We found that the level of oxygenated hemoglobin in the anterior PFC was significantly increased during FA on Tanden breathing, accompanied by a reduction in feelings of negative mood compared to before the meditation session. Electroencephalography (EEG) revealed increased alpha band activity and decreased theta band activity during and after FA on Tanden breathing. EEG changes were correlated with a significant increase in whole blood serotonin (5-HT) levels. These results suggest that activation of the anterior PFC and 5-HT system may be responsible for the improvement of negative mood and EEG signal changes observed during FA on Tanden breathing.

Every day there are new technologies, the game industry also does not stand at one place. Gaming machines for movies have been and remain very popular. They give an opportunity not only to plunge into the atmosphere of your favorite movie, but also to play with your favorite character. Now everyone has the opportunity to go to the Middle Ages with Dracula, find all the criminals together with the Superman or go in search of pets along with Ace Ventura. The last character will be discussed in the video slot review Ace Ventura.
Gameplay and Prizes
Probably, every player remembers this film in the title role with Jim Kerry. The film was released in 1993, and immediately gained success and popularity. In the film, all the components of success were combined: cute animals, charismatic protagonist, humor, interesting plot, opposition of good and evil. The design is very simple and concise. On a monophonic background, 5 reels were placed. Despite this, the slot looks very bright: blue background, pink inserts on the sides. On the screen though there are images of the main character, but they are not realistic and resemble pictures from comics.
Of course, as the characters were chosen images of the detective and various scenes from the film. Once the image of Ace Ventura forms a prize chain, the user will see several frames from the movie. Complement the overall view of the machine soundtrack.
It’s a light and cheerful music, through which sometimes the sounds of animals are heard. In general, the slot machine Ace Ventura conveyed the atmosphere of the film, and all fans of this picture will certainly appreciate it!
Before starting the game, the user only has to choose the bet amount, since there are no active lines on the slot. On five sheep there are 243 prize combinations. On the control panel, the player finds all the necessary keys.
The info button opens the paytable and rules of the game, spin – starts a one-time rotation of the reels, coin value – changes the denomination of coins, auto spins – activates the automatic rotation of the reels. Turbo mode reduces the rotation time of the reels.
Features and Bonuses
In addition to the usual symbols, there are special pictures in the game with advanced features. A wild symbol is the image of Ace Ventura showing the identification. By removing the missing signs, it gives the player the opportunity to get even more payouts!
The bonus symbol is a rhinoceros with the inscription bonus. Everyone remembers the famous shot, when the detective was inside the rhino and tried to get out? As soon as three such images have stopped on the reels, free slot rotations are launched. A separate category of characters is the image of animals in search.
During any of the rotations, additional functions can be activated. In total, there are 3 video slots. The first one is called “Friends from the Jungle”. The second function is “The Secret Walk”. The detective will sneak along the drums, leaving behind wild symbols. The third option is «Loser». Appearing on the screen, Ace Ventura can restart any unsuccessful combination and increase its multiplier.

A flurry of high profile acquisitions – including Facebook’s acquisition of WhatsApp, Yahoo’s acquisition of Flurry and Twitter’s acquisition of TapCommerce – set the pace of change in the mobile market this year. All the signs indicate 2014 was a sellers’ market.
Indications are that investment remains high on the agenda for businesses and funders but what is the outlook for 2015:
• What technologies are businesses investing in and why?
• Where in the mobile landscape is M&A and investment activity hottest and why?
• What are investors looking for?
• What will define the winners and losers?
The evening will be chaired by OC partner Simon Rendell and Chris Burke, ex CTO of Vodafone and ex CEO of RIM.

Navigating Copyright for Reproduced Images: Part 2. Determining Whether Permission Is Needed
The second step in navigating copyright for reproduced images is understanding whether you need permission from the image’s copyright holder before you are legally allowed to reproduce the image in your paper. This applies even if you are writing a paper for a classroom assignment and not for publication.
When Is Permission Required?
Permission is only sometimes required to reproduce an image.
- Permission is required to reproduce a copyrighted image unless it meets one of the criteria described below in Parts A, B, C, or D of this post.
- Permission is not required to reproduce an image that has a creative commons license or is in the public domain. If that’s your case, proceed to Part 4 of this series.
A. Academic Sources
Many scientific, technical, and medical publishers will allow you to reproduce images (here meaning tables or figures) without obtaining permission provided that
- the purpose of the use is scholarly comment, noncommercial research, or educational use and
- full credit is given to the author and publisher as copyright holder.
For example, APA allows you to reproduce without obtaining permission
- up to three tables or figures from a journal article or book chapter or
- a maximum of five tables or figures from a whole book.
Note that all publishers have their own policies, so you should check with the publisher of your material to determine whether permission is necessary. For materials published by APA, visit the APA Permissions Office.
B. Commercial Stock Photography
To reproduce a stock photo you will most likely have to buy a license from its stock photography website (e.g., ShutterStock, iStock, Getty Images, Corbis). Consult the terms of the image to know what steps to take.
- If you do own the license to a stock photograph, you can use the image in the paper without any attribution or credit line.
- If you do not own the license to a stock photograph, you cannot reproduce the image.
Note that you might come across a stock photo “in the wild”—for example, as part of a newspaper or magazine article (the images on this blog fall into this category too). That means that the publisher has bought a license for the stock photograph. If you want to use the photograph in your paper too, you need to go buy your own license for the photo.
C. Clip Art
Most clip art does not require permission to reproduce, but it may require a credit line. Check the terms of the clip art website to determine what to do.
- If the clip art comes from a program like Microsoft Word, then by buying the program you have bought a license to that clip art and can use it in an academic paper without any attribution or credit line.
- If the clip art comes from a free clip art website (e.g., Openclipart) and it has a creative commons license or is in public domain, permission is not necessary but you should give a copyright statement for the image (see Part 4 of this series).
D. Fair Use for Other Copyrighted Sources
You may also be able to avoid seeking permission to reproduce a copyrighted image if your use is considered “fair.” Fair use is a loosely defined and complicated legal concept (here is a summary from the U.S. Copyright Office), but in practice it means that under certain circumstances you can reproduce or adapt a copyrighted image without obtaining permission so long as you credit the source (see Part 4 of this series).
In the context of reproducing an image, your use is probably fair if it meets the following criteria:
- It is for use in an academic work and not for profit (such as a paper for a class or publication in an academic journal).
- It represents facts or data (such as a chart or diagram) rather than creative self-expression (such as artwork, although some famous works of art are in the public domain and thus do not require permission).
- It is small in relation to the whole work (such as a chart within a report) and not the whole thing or the “heart” of the work (such as an individual photograph or a whole cartoon).
- Reproducing the image will not hurt the market or potential market for the original.
If you fail to meet the above criteria for fair use or if you are unsure as to whether you meet the criteria, exercise caution and seek permission to reproduce the image. For more help in determining fair use, check out this Fair Use Checklist from Columbia University.
If the copyright status of the image is unclear, assume that it is copyrighted. Contact the publisher of the image for more information if needed. If the origin of the image cannot be determined (e.g., it appears in many places on the internet without attribution and it is impossible to say where exactly it originated), we recommend that you choose an alternative image for your paper. Be particularly careful of stock photographs, which legally can be reproduced without attribution, but only by a license holder.

Risk management relies on statistical metrics that converge on common standards. These metrics can change drastically alongside market conditions. A risk management shock is a large unanticipated market-wide change in statistical risk estimates. These shocks give rise to coerced or even distressed flows, typically subsequent to an initial large move in market prices. Risk management shocks and related flows can team up with other dynamics in the financial system to form feedback loops. Such reinforcing dynamics include dynamic hedging, market price-driven credit downgrades, popular fear of crisis, investment fund redemptions, and forced deleveraging. Feedback loops can trigger large and persistent price distortions and offer special trading opportunities.
The below is the third instalment of this site’s updated summary of key forces behind market price distortions, i.e. deviations of quoted prices from a level that would clear the market if all participants were trading for conventional risk-return optimization. Previous posts explained price distortions that arise from liquidity conditions and rebalancing rules.
Risk management shocks
The risk management rules of most institutional investors follow commonly accepted standards. Alas, similar rules often coerce similar flows. And one-sided flows in markets with limited liquidity can push prices far from fundamental values. In this way, conventional risk management rules can be a cause of distortions and even set in motion self-reinforcing feedback loops.
Prominent risk metrics are value-at-risk (VaR), a statistical measure of expected maximum loss at a specific horizon within a specific range of probability, and expected shortfall, a measure of expected drawdown in a distress case. These statistical assessments of risk rely on historical variances and covariances, and can be subject to sudden major revisions.
- The calculation of risk metrics depends on the lookback window, i.e. the history of the price return experiences used for its calculation and the weighting of recent versus distant observations. Lookback windows that rely on multi-year experience adapt poorly to a changing risk environment. Therefore, many risk metrics are short, with a half-time of lookbacks of no more than 11 days. This makes them susceptible to drastic reassessments based on market volatility alone. Such “statistical” reassessment would occur without any consideration of the underlying causes of changes in volatility.
- Even with many years of data history, risk estimates are still vulnerable to event shocks. Small variations in assumptions can cause large changes in forecasts. Some research claims that it would take half a century of daily price data for VaR and expected shortfall models to reach their theoretical asymptotic properties. Intuitively, even long historical samples have only limited data on actual crises and hence are subject to revision with each new crisis experiences (view post here).
- Risk models are prone to compounding uncertainty when they matter most: in financial crises. Research shows that different types of statistical risk models tend to diverge during market turmoil and hence become themselves a source of fears and confusion (view post here). Acceptable performance and convergence of risk models in normal times can lull the financial system into a false sense of reliability
Reliance on statistical metrics can give rise to so-called ‘VaR shocks’: If estimated risk metrics surge, VaR-sensitive institutions recalibrate the risk of their existing positions and subsequently reduce their positions (view post here). For example, if an institution has a fixed “statistical” risk budget a doubling of the estimated value-at-risk or expected shortfall requires it to liquidate half of its nominal positions. Importantly, this type of selling pressure typically arises after the initial price decline.
Analogously, many trading desks or asset management companies set “drawdown limits” for their managers. These are loss thresholds for a portfolio’s net asset value beyond which traders must liquidate part of all of their positions. Managers are typically under obligation to cut risk regardless of asset value and return prospects. Hence, once the common drawdown limits are broken additional flows ensue in the same direction of the original loss, accentuating price movements for no fundamental reason.
Initial shocks to risk metrics and related flows can team up with other forces to form feedback loops:
- Dynamic hedging: Many institutions run explicit or implicit “short volatility” positions. Indeed, such short-volatility strategies seem to have expanded strongly in the wake of declining fixed-income yields. They pay steady positive risk premia in normal times, just like a fixed income asset, but at the peril occasional outsized losses. Dynamic hedging refers to sales and purchases of underlying assets in order to contain the risk related to volatility. This gives rise to feedback loops in two ways.
- From a macro perspective, there is reinforcement between volatility and the scale of short-volatility strategies (view post here). In particular, there is a plausible feedback loop between low interest rates, debt expansion, (low) asset volatility, and financial engineering that allocates risk based on that volatility.
- From a micro or trading perspective, dynamic hedging is common practice for option books but is applied widely in other markets, including credit, rates and leveraged risk parity. For example, U.S. financial institutions have historically been “short volatility” with respect to long-term interest rates because of homeowners’ option to repay mortgages early (view post here). In times of declining yields delta and probability of execution of this implied option is increasing, forcing institutions to hedge by further extending duration exposure. The probability of severe “convexity events” has been reduced since the Federal Reserve has bought a sizable share of mortgage-backed securities from the market (view post here), but not eliminated.
- Credit risk: Risk management can also form feedback loops with credit risk, particularly country risk and counterparty risk. A good illustration for this is the Credit Default Swaps (CDS) market. CDS are assumed to represent a measure of default risk. In practice, this (less liquid) market can gap in large moves, simply as a consequence of one-sided institutional order flows, which themselves could be motivated by risk management or regulatory considerations (view post here). As CDS spreads themselves are used as a measure of credit risk, institutional flows and spreads can reinforce each other to form escalatory dynamics.
- Public fear: Financial market turbulences typically focus popular attention on crisis risk. Bouts of fear of extreme events, such as economic depressions or war, are more frequent than the actual occurrence of disasters (view post here). In normal or good times, people tend to pay little attention to extremes. As economic or political conditions deteriorate, people begin to contemplate the possibility and consequences of disasters. Such enhanced awareness plausibly changes subjective expectations and price of risk. This is called “salience theory”(view post here). If public fear of crisis is rising, financial risk managers experience pressure from investors, shareholders and even governments to position more defensively.
- Redemptions: Significant declines in the net asset values of investment vehicles usually give rise to redemptions, often from investors that cannot afford or bear watching wealth dwindling beyond certain thresholds. This is supported theoretically and empirically for equity, bond and credit markets (view post here). In many cases, funds provide daily liquidity and costs of redemptions are effectively borne by investors that do not redeem or redeem late. This creates incentives for fire sales and causes price distortions (view post here). Indeed, the pro-cyclicality of redemptions is consistent with survey evidence of pro-cyclicality of equity return expectations of investors (view post here).
- Forced deleveraging: Risk-reduction in banks and other financial intermediaries does not only constrain their own asset holdings but, indirectly, those of other market participants, particularly leveraged investors such as hedge funds. This creates both relative price distortions and high directional risk premia. Most obviously, limitations of arbitrage capital give rise to price differentials between contracts with similar risk profiles (view post here). Also, empirical analyses have found that the leverage provided by Broker-Dealers, i.e. their funding of others, is an important explanatory variable for the risk premium paid on equity and credit exposure (view post here). When credit supply is ample, risk premia and future excess returns are low. When credit supply is scarce, risk premia and future excess returns are high.

Parking signs are signs that help organize a parking lot by imparting important parking information.
Whether you manage a retail store in Malone, NY, a restaurant in Malone, a residential building, or any other type of business or organization in the North Country, if you have a parking lot, you need parking signs.
If you have a chain-link fence around your parking lot, then you have an excellent space to install your parking signs. Fence signs make for very effective parking signs. Sometimes standalone parking signs are needed. These are often drilled into the pavement or installed into concrete blocks to weight them. Regardless, the most common material for a parking sign is aluminum because its inexpensive. But yard signs, wall graphics, and sidewalk signs can all be used as parking signs, too.
At Plattsburgh Creative Signs, we know how to make parking signs that serve their function. Need utilitarian aluminum parking signs for your Malone dental office? We can make those. Want a more impressive business sign that brands your parking lot as belonging to your Malone restaurant? We can make that, too.
We can design, manufacture, and install the parking signs for your Malone business, we can advise you on what parking signs you might need, and we can ensure all your parking signs are on brand. Please contact us to learn more

Interview with Celia Matthews
3M recently hosted the SPARKS electrical apprentice of the year final in the Customer Innovation Centre in Bracknell. Grace Hinton, industrial placement student for electrical markets division, caught up with Celia Matthews, the Managing Director of SNG Publishing, to discuss how this year’s competition has been.
3M recently hosted the SPARKS electrical apprentice of the year final in the Customer Innovation Centre in Bracknell. I caught up with Celia Matthews, the Managing Director of SNG Publishing, to discuss how this year’s competition has been.
GH: Tell me a little about the company, your role and how it has evolved over time.
CM: I founded SNG Publishing in 2006, with the aim to support electrical apprentices through college and help prepare them for the real world. I felt there was a real lack of support from the colleges at that time and I wanted to do something to help. I’ve been involved throughout the journey and it’s been very rewarding seeing so many thousands of students benefit from our learning resources and take pride in their career choice. The competitions give them confidence and that’s what it’s all about. They should be proud to be an electrician!
GH: Congratulations on the 10th anniversary of the SPARKS Apprentice of the year competition! How has the competition developed over the past 10 years?
CM: The first competition was very small, we only had a handful of students compete but now we have almost 80 colleges competing. The competition had been running in England and Wales for 8 years and we then launched the competition in Northern Ireland two years ago and next year we will be in Scotland. It’s very exciting!
GH: Because it was the 10th anniversary, there were some added surprises at the final! How do you feel the 2019 competition went?
CM: This year’s final has been the most challenging competition for the finalists, with much more involved in the test. They should all be extremely proud to have got this far at such an early part of their careers. It was a real celebration and the lecturers also got involved in some of the fun and games and made animals with the Wago connectors they were given! Sometimes I wonder who the learners are!
GH: As an industrial placement student, I have found hosting the final very interesting. It will help me develop my career, whilst being involved in an event that develops the apprentice’s future careers. Why is it important to connect with the next generation of electrical engineers?
CM: It’s essential that we, as an industry, support and engagement with the next generation as they start their careers. They are the future of the industry and it’s important that we give them all they need to make sure they start off well. There’s a Proverb that says, ‘Train up a child in the way they should go, and when they are old they will not depart from it.’ I believe that to be true in life. If we start kids off with the right tools and with confidence in their abilities, then they will succeed and be a credit to our industry.
GH: I have also found it interesting to see the different route young people take through after school and how that can impact their careers. What advice would you give to school leavers when considering apprenticeships?
CM: Personally, I’ve experienced both routes. When I left school, we all went into Higher Education and went to university to get our degrees. That’s just what you did. Then years later, I went into Further Education to gain my plumbing qualifications. I think greater awareness should be given at schools for apprenticeships just as much as the university route, an apprenticeship should be seen as an extremely valued qualification and career choice.
GH: There was a special guest at the 2019 final – Chris Randall, SPARKS Apprentice of the year winner in 2011. How do you feel knowing winning the competition still helps him with his career?
CM: It’s absolutely fantastic. I have heard similar stories from other winners of the SPARKS competitions so it’s very exciting to see that the rewards for all their hard work are still paying dividends to them.
GH: Why is it beneficial for manufacturers in this industry to participate in events like these?
CM: It’s in their interest to support the youth of the industry and train them on new technologies. In turn, the students are far more likely to be brand loyal to products that they train on at the beginning of their careers and go on using them.
GH: How has 3M’s support helped you to run this competition?
CM: 3M’s support has been invaluable to the SPARKS finals. All the work that goes on behind the scenes is incredible and both the electrical lecturers and the contestants hugely benefit from all the hospitality, and from such a renowned name in the industry! It’s a real treat for all of us to come to 3M, not only is the 3M headquarters state-of-the-art but perhaps most importantly, for students to see the Innovation Centre first hand is a massive inspiration for them. The quality of all the different designs and development is second to none and maybe a career path that some of these young engineers might embark on in some way in the future. Massive thanks go to our hosts, Gemma Brown and to Grace Hinton for making the event such a success for all involved.

When Databroker hit double digits, we took the opportunity to reflect on our decade of experience as an agency. In the last decade, we have ridden the waves of this industry - growing and evolving with the tide. We've changed and so have our clients. We want our brand to echo our ethos, to pay homage to our journey as a business, and most importantly, to serve our clients. So, we made it happen.
The ego-driven race to be the UK's biggest data provider has long been overshadowed by customers' needs for expert results. Where our competitors fell when it came to accuracy, Databroker strove to bring accountability and transparency to direct marketing and provide a blissfully easy way to gain access to the best marketing datasets in the country.
Today, the consumer is savvier and we have grown up. We welcome tighter industry controls and revised marketing laws such as GDPR. We have long been championing the clean-up of direct marketing. Gone are the cowboys and now the reputable, service-driven companies remain. Compliance and modern thinking are at the heart of what our clients want and what we bring to them. Our new branding and website reflect this. We are connecting the modern compliant marketer to their informed audience.
After celebrating a decade of growth, we have hit some great milestones. We have over 100 5-star customer reviews of our service. We have been audited by the Direct Marketing Association and commented upon as the most organised, robust and compliant data broker that they have ever seen. We have helped provide millions of records to thousands of companies. Now, our external shell showcases our internal values and aims. We are comfortable being different and are grateful to all the big thinkers who have been part of our odyssey.
The future looks bright.
Right now, we're only changing the look and feel of Databroker, but we have plenty of ideas in motion. Our evolving, easy-to-use quotation system on the site being an example of things around the corner. We are partnering with some of the biggest names in direct and digital marketing and adding further experience to our already sage team. Keep an eye out for updates on these exciting changes, you will be the first to know.
We would love to hear your thoughts on the new branding and user experience.
Enjoy and thank you for all the support.

THE 4 ELEMENTS
These 4 fairies are very personal to me. I am one of four sisters and we are each born under a different element. We call ourselves The 4 Elements.
I had been promising to create a fairy for each of my sisters for a while and I finally decided to just take the time and get them done. Each of the Element fairies is based both on the element and the personality of my sisters.
The Earth Fairy is for me - my peaceful place is out in my garden, listening to the birds and I find that my energy is recharged after spending time ether working or relaxing there.
The Water Fairy is my sister, Amanda - she loves all things magical and sparkly and all shades of blue. So I created a Merfairy for her. Alongside her is a seal and this represents her beloved dog, Milly, who spends most of her life in the water and is half-seal anyway !
The Fire Fairy is my sister, Jill - she is always on the go - with 3 teenagers, a full-time job and a love for a very tidy house, she is always on the go. This fairy is on a mission and, along with her watering can she carries a glass candle holder - at night, she can light up and, during the day, it can be filled with flowers.
The Air Fairy is my baby sister, Jen - I created this fairy for her when she was expecting her first baby and I wanted a special piece to mark such a special time. All the crystals in her wings are clear for Air and also because she didn't know the sex of the baby. Her clothes and hair are flowing to create a feeling of wind. And, in case you are wondering, she had a wonderful boy, called Jackson - and the second is on the way !
Each of these fairies measures about 420mm

The DJI Phantom drone is the unmanned aircraft that catapulted DJI to become the dominant drone manufacturer. Frank Wang who was still a student at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology when he co-founded DJI in 2006. Even now when we are in the later stages of the Phantom 4 lifecycle, the Phantom is still the drone that does it all for a very reasonable price.
DJI Phantom drone
Brian Santo writes for IEEE Spectrum:
“Dozens of companies vied to build the first commercially successful recreational drone; the competition was won by a Chinese engineer barely out of adolescence.
DJI’s original Phantom drone was a remarkable piece of engineering, but if the little flier’s engineering and marketing hadn’t reinforced each other, DJI never would have soared to the top of the commercial drone market.
The company needed to identify markets, and in doing so it took a brilliant tack: It began to catalog the uses not for drones but for flight in general. The list included cinematography, agriculture, energy-sector inspection, infrastructure and construction, and emergency response. Then DJI developed a marketing plan for each of those applications.
GPS would enable the drone to remain stationary when aloft, and GPS was also the basis for a feature that would let the drone return to its original launch site should it lose a signal from the remote control. More than a few drones were lost that way before DJI made the use of GPS standard on hobbyist drones.
Priced at $629, the Phantom was DJI’s first fully assembled model and among the first drones designed explicitly for consumers.”

You Can Now Get Dibs On Pat McGrath Products—On Sale! Here's How!
When is the right time to upgrade your beauty kit? We say now is the time. Whether you're looking to refresh your kit or upgrade some tools, the Sephora Beauty Pass Sale couldn't have come at a better time! We're setting our alarm for April 25 (April 24th for Gold Members) because we're about to do some major beauty shopping!
As you most probably already know, Sephora is home to cult favorite brands, up-and-coming brands, and classic beauty brands, all available at the click of a finger! We're constantly on the lookout for fresh finds, but sometimes, we have to find out whether some cult favorites like luxury beauty brand Pat McGrath is worth the purchase. We sampled some of their top products, to prove if adding these to cart is something you really must do, come April 25th!
Pat McGrath Labs, simply put, is the brainchild of celebrity makeup artist and beauty expert Pat McGrath. Best known as the master behind some of the world's best glossies, fashion and beauty editorials, fashion campaigns, and runway shows in Paris, New York, London, and Milan, Pat has proven time and time again that her expertise for beauty is unparalleled. The beauty brand is just a mere three years old, but the eponymous line has already made its mark in the beauty world, and its way into our dressers.
From the iconic Mattetrance lipstick, to the coveted Mothership Eyeshadow Palette, these luxury beauty products are yes, on the pricier side, but truly worth every penny. For beauty fans like myself, I find that spending hard-earned cash on luxury beauty products has its perks, mostly because I know that I am buying quality.
For starters, Pat McGrath herself pours her heart and soul into each one of these products, infusing each one with her signature outrageous yet classy (READ: expensive) aesthetic. Rich, luscious lipsticks, highly pigmented shimmer eyeshadows, megawatt highlighters and precise eyeliners—these are just some of the picks you need to try to achieve any one of her imitated-never-duplicated beauty looks.
A look back at some of her past works:
"This is the golden age of makeup. PAT McGRATH LABS is my Golden Revolution. The entire planet is just as cosmetics obsessed as I’ve always been. Makeup is a movement. Makeup is mesmerizing. Makeup is major. Mantra-esque, three words have repeated over and over in my mind ever since I was young. Obsession. Inspiration. Addiction. Those words became my guiding principles, my manifesto as I brought this brand to life . I wanted to capture, in a quartet of exquisite palettes, 50 legendary lipsticks, a divine dozen eyeliners and five fetish-worthy lip pencils, The Power of Transformation, The Power of Beauty; The Power of Makeup." - Pat McGrath, CEO & Founder of PAT McGRATH LABS (via patmcgrath.com)
These products are proudly made in Italy, and are also cruelty-free, meaning none of these amazing products have been tested on our furry friends! What's more—every piece is packed in a stunning case or box, making each one a collector's item of sorts. You truly get an entire beauty experience with each one, making it a must in every beauty lover's kit. Check out my personal picks below:
Pat McGrath Luxetrance Lipstick in Tropicalia
Basically my go-to shade for the season, a peachy-orange creamy finish that makes my lips appear full, luscious, and oh-so-summery! While it's highly pigmented, you will need to touch up after a meal, or dab on some lip balm if you want that barely there finish. Shop here
Pat McGrath Mattetrance Lipstick in Omi
This is my first ever Pat McGrath purchase—her signature matte formula that promises intense color minus the stiff, dry, sticky feeling other formulas tend to have. Trivia: I loved this hue so much I had to wear it on my wedding day! Shop here
Pat McGrath MTHRSHP Eyeshadow Palette in Sublime Bronze Ambition
Your palette of choice if you're not ready to commit to a 10-shade eyeshadow palette just yet. This handy palette features six essential shades you need to create a statement eye anytime, anywhere! My personal fave features warm tones (pictured above). Shop here
Pat McGrath Mothership Eyeshadow Palette
The holy grail of eyeshadow palettes—Pat McGrath's Mothership palette is the palette of choice for most pro makeup artists, for its ease of use, expertly curated shades, and highly pigmented formula (one swipe is seriously enough to cover your lid). Go for this is you're willing to shell out some extra bucks (it retails for P8,000 but will go on sale at sephora.ph come April 25!) Four different palettes are available, allowing for endless makeup experiments! Shop here
Pat McGrath Skin Fetish Highlighter & Balm Duo in Nude
The highlighter you need for days when you can't be bothered with a brush. Just swipe on, blend with fingers, and voila—you're done! What's more, it has a balm on the opposite end to help create that dewy look that's nowhere near a sweaty look that no one likes. Shop here
Pat McGrath Permagel Ultra Glide Eye Pencil in BLK Coffee
I am a self-confessed liquid eyeliner girl, but since having had eyelash extensions done, I have avoided using liquid liner for the simple reason that it would be a nightmare to clean! Not that I need eyeliner with the eyelash extensions I have on, but having tried this formula, I now have a go-to for days when I need extra oomph for my eyes (READ: parties or dinners). It is really, really easy to apply, and equally easy to remove (I use micellar water). Opt for a hue like BLK Coffee if you're not a fan of anything too severe. Shop here
And now that I've fully convinced you that these picks are truly worth it, it's time to reveal how you can avail of these items at a limited-time-only SALE! Welcome to Sephora's Beauty Pass Sale, the time where you can shop sitewide at 15% or 20% off, depending on your membership type!

After a twelve hour flight from London to LA – in what must be said, a horrible aircraft – we were ready to discover some treasures of the Californian lifestyle. At the moment we are located at Camaran Street, Marina del Rey, “where the road ends and the beach begins”. It’s right next to Venice Beach and with a 15 minute walk you can play your heart out at the famous Venice basketball courts. Major thumbs up to Airbnb for hooking us up with this place and it’s superb owner Connor. There’s not a chance in the world that you’ll be able to find a better hotel for this price. So it’s safe to say that we recommend this way of travelling to everyone.
First full day in LA … and we were far out some of the most obvious tourisst out there. With a program filled with things like the Kodak Theatre, Hollywood Boulevard, Griffith Observatory and Bel Air we have been going exactly where the guide maps tells us where to go. For some of us the main activity of the day has been searching for celebrities, unsuccessful so far. Although Silke is sometimes convinced she saw troups of celebrities in and out of our their cars. Liesbeth went pretty hardcore into it with resulted in running into a bench while looking for famous people. While the searching went on we also had our best stop of the day – Yogurtland. There’s no way that we can describe the feeling, the taste, the perfection of this snack but we can say that this is one of the things you have to try for yourself before you die. Bucket list item!
A great homemade dinner made by Liesbeth and a late basketball session at Venice concluded our first day in Los Angeles.
- FWY = Freeway
- The button in an airplane located on your arm-rest is NOT an ejector seat
- The world famous basketball court in Venice Beach has been broken down – hopefully for restoration only
- The Superbowl is NOT held at the Hollywood Bowl – cause yes, people should know that
- X Games tickets are not the easiest ones to get your hands on

Have you taken a moment to ponder what Moses must have been feeling emotionally and physically during his encounter with God at the burning bush? This was his first encounter with God.
I know there are other more episodic encounters between the two, but this was Moses’ first time encountering God.
What a heart pounding experience this must have been.
This encounter changed Moses’ life forever.
Yet, Moses had to overcome his own fear of inadequacy before committing to his complete life change.
Surely his life would have changed simply by having contact with God’s spirit, but he had to get past his fears before accepting his role in the full plan God had for his life.
But once God gave a response to all of Moses’ weak excuses, Moses finally picked up his mantle and became all that he was purposed to be in God’s plan.
If a book where to be written about our lives, at what occasion would the readers find our weak excuses we give to God?
Then Moses said to God, “Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I will say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you.’ Now they may say to me, ‘What is His name?’ What shall I say to them?” God said to Moses, ” I AM WHO I AM”; and He said, “Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.'” God, furthermore, said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘The Lord , the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is My name forever, and this is My memorial-name to all generations. Go and gather the elders of Israel together and say to them, ‘The Lord , the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, “I am indeed concerned about you and what has been done to you in Egypt.

When talking with someone about the campus here at UW-Parkside, a lot of times people will bring up the disc golf courses around the area. This is because the campus here in Somers is widely known as one of the best in the area for the rising sport of disc golf.
Disc golf is a popular hobby here at UW-Parkside, and the disc golf club is one that continues to grow each year.
More than just golf
One of the club’s leaders, Justin Van Ee, has been with the club for three years now after his brother’s involvement peaked his interest. Van Ee described that the club is not only about playing the game, but improving the campus as well. “The club is dedicated to improving the campus and community through the promoting, teaching and playing of disc golf.” Van Ee told the Ranger News.
Itching to play
Above all else though, the club is always itching to sneak a few rounds in whenever they can. Van Ee explained when asked how often the club members play by saying that “during intramural season and the indoor putting league, we are playing together each week. If the weather is nice, members of the club are always getting together for a quick round between classes. Many members play almost daily if the weather is favorable.”
Get in on the fun
The club ran a free tournament last year that saw around 50 students participate and will be running one this year as well. The club will be hosting a free college disc golf tournament that is open to all UW-Parkside students as well as disc golf teams from other Wisconsin colleges. Currently, the Parkside club is working with the disc golf clubs at Platteville, Madison and Stout to get a competitive circuit of annual tournaments.
Many benefits of joining
There are many great benefits to joining the disc golf club that students should take advantage of. Players have the opportunity to learn a fun, easy-to-enjoy game, meet new students here at UW-Parkside and even from other schools and take in the beautiful nature scenery that the course is held on. Players also have the chance to win prizes in tournaments and represent UW-Parkside on a national level.
How to get involved
Anyone interested in joining the Disc Golf Club can contact Justin Van Ee at firstname.lastname@example.org or find them on Campus Connect. Also, students can attend a round of golf at anytime when the players meet on Fridays at 2:00 p.m., at hole No.1 of UW-Parkside’s disc golf course.

NATION-STATE TRAITS AND HOW THEY AFFECT CORPORATE CULTURES IN SEVEN COUNTRIES
Different cultures have diverse concepts of leadership. Leaders can be born, elected, or trained and groomed. Others seize power or have leadership thrust upon them. Leadership can be autocratic or democratic, collective or individual, meritocratic or unearned, desired or imposed.
It is not surprising that business leaders (managers) often wield their power in conformity with the national set-up – for instance, a confirmed democracy like Sweden produces low-key democratic managers; Arab managers are good Muslims; Chinese managers usually have government or Party affiliations.
Leaders cannot readily be transferred from culture to culture. Japanese prime ministers would be largely ineffective in the United States; American politicians would fare badly in most Arab countries; mullahs would not be tolerated in Norway. Similarly, business managers find the transition from one culture to another fraught with difficulties. Such transfers become more and more common with the globalization of business, but the composition of international teams and particularly the choice of their leaders requires careful thought. Autocratic French managers have to tread warily in consensus-minded Japan or Sweden. Courteous Asian leaders would have to adopt a more vigorous style in argumentative Holland or theatrical Spain if they wished to hold the stage. German managers sent to Australia are somewhat alarmed at the irreverence ...

We visited Watch City Brewing Company during our Christmas vacation to Massachusetts. Beth and I left the kids with the grandparents and made the 30 minute drive from Carlisle to Waltham on December 27.
The brewpub has been open since 1996 – a nice long 13 year run, which says something about the quality of their beer. We’ve been four times since our first visit in 2001 and loved it every time. It had been almost three years since our last visit and the beer was just as excellent as I remember. They had eight beers on tap and I ordered the ample four beer sampler (no puny glasses here), which included:
- Hops Explosion IPA, an excellent and tasty IPA. I ordered a separate pint of this one.
- MonkeyMonk Saison, a strong and spicy Belgian farmhouse ale (7.4% ABV)
- Old Man Winter Ale, brewed with toasted coconut, cocoa nibs and vanilla
- SplinterCat Schwarzbier, a smooth German black Pilsner, an excellent session beer at 4.7%
The whole experience at Watch City Brewing Company was again fun and relaxing, with great beer at hand. I can’t wait to get back. Despite the urgings of our earnest and beer-educated server, I passed on a take home growler, though now I wonder why!

The Angel Baby Fund began after this year’s Angel Baby Walk raised enough funds to help local families cover funeral expenses for their beloved children. The organizers hoped the funds would last until the next walk in spring of 2017, but our Carbon and Emery families have lost five children so far this year and funds were quickly depleted to help each of them.
The walk will continue to be an annual event to come together and remember our Angel Babies. This event was a lighthearted booster to replenish the funds. It was a wonderful success with a great turnout! We played games and enjoyed delicious hearty soups as a community. It was fun for the whole family and also showcased a drawing with donations from local vendors and community members as well as a silent auction.
We raised twice as much as expected and are so grateful to all our sponsors, contributors and volunteers! If you would like to donate or become a part of the Angel Baby organization, please contact Amy Ruggeri, Heidi Yoklavich or Alison Marrelli, or visit us on Facebook at “Angel Baby Fund of Carbon and Emery Counties” for more information.

Yarmouth, the smallest parish in the Isle of Wight, containing only 58 acres of land, is chiefly noted as possessing one of the oldest boroughs in the Island. It is the first port inside the Needles, and lies at the mouth of the Western Yar, being connected by a bridge (fn. 1) with Freshwater parish, and has a harbour and quay. It is one of the ports for the mainland, a line of steamers running from it to Lymington, and has a station on the Isle of Wight Central railway. The pier, built by the corporation in 1876 (fn. 2) at a cost of £4,000, has three landing-stages and is 700 ft. in length. The town is well lighted and supplied with water from Afton.
There is a town hall with an undercroft on the west side of the square bearing the inscription 'A.D. 1764 the fourth year of the reign of his present Majesty King George III, this hall was rebuilt by Thomas, Lord Holmes, Governor of the Isle of Wight. Benjamin Lee Esq. Mayor.' (fn. 3) The market-house or town hall is described in 1849 as 'a neat building with a hall over it in which the several courts are held, and the public business of the corporation transacted.' (fn. 4) It was formerly known as the Guildhall. (fn. 5)
At the time of the building of the castle the town possessed four gates—the Quay Gate (fn. 6) towards the sea, the outer and inner (fn. 7) Town Gates (fn. 8) towards the east, and the Hither Gate, (fn. 9) probably to the south.
Stone Cross and Draffehaven are place-names (xvii cent.).
The borough of Yarmouth, which is co-extensive with the parish, received its first charter from Baldwin de Redvers third Earl of Devon, (fn. 10) who granted his men of Yarmouth all liberties and customs belonging to free burgesses, and quittance from tolls and other customs throughout all his lands in fairs and markets. (fn. 11)
In 1334 the burgesses of Yarmouth obtained from Edward III a confirmation of their charter, (fn. 12) but the borough still remained a mesne borough (fn. 13) until 1440, when Henry VI confirmed their charter (fn. 14) and granted the burgesses their town at a fee-farm rent of 20s., payable yearly at Michaelmas. (fn. 15) A confirmation of the charter was granted in 1466 by Edward IV, and by Queen Elizabeth in 1560. (fn. 16) The last and most important charter to Yarmouth was granted in 1609 by James I at the petition of the mayor and burgesses. (fn. 17) The town was to remain for ever a free borough, and was to be incorporate under the style of the 'Mayor and Burgesses of the borough of Yarmouth,' with the right to acquire land to the value of £20 a year, and to have a common seal. (fn. 18) The common council was to consist of the mayor and eleven chief burgesses, and was to hold the view of frankpledge and the assize of bread and ale in the gild hall.
In 1693 Lord Cutts reported that the Corporation of Yarmouth consisted of a mayor and twelve aldermen, (fn. 19) who had power to add to the corporation as many free men as they pleased, all of whom had a voice in the election of members to Parliament. (fn. 20) These free men or free burgesses, who were elected by a majority of the common council, were very numerous in the 18th century, but the Commissioners upon the Municipal Corporations of England reported in 1835 that only those were chosen who would support the interest of the patron within the borough.
Under the Municipal Corporations Act of 1883 (fn. 21) the corporation ceased to exist in March 1886, and the town is now governed by a town trust of eleven members, five of whom are elected by the parish council of Yarmouth, two by the parish council of Freshwater, three are co-optative, and one is appointed by the London and South-Western Railway Company.
The governing officer of the early borough was a bailiff who was probably an officer of the lord of the town for the time being, and was elected by him, as his stipend was paid from the issues of the town. (fn. 22) Between 1378 and 1385 the vill of Yarmouth was farmed by the bailiff at a rent of 40s., paid at Easter and Michaelmas in equal portions, (fn. 23) but from Easter 1380 to Christmas of that year no rent was paid for the town, because it had been burnt by the French, and neither the bailiff nor the townsfolk had any goods on which the rent could be distrained.
The right to elect a mayor was apparently granted to the burgesses in 1440 with the right to have the borough at fee farm, for in 1449 the fee farm was paid by the mayor, bailiff and burgesses of the borough. (fn. 24) The charter of 1609 ordered that the election of the mayor by the common council from among the chief burgesses (fn. 25) should take place yearly at the feast of St. Matthew the Apostle in the gild hall of the borough. (fn. 26) If a mayor died in office another was elected for the remainder of the year. One of the mayoral duties was to preside as returning officer at the election of members of Parliament. (fn. 27)
Originally the possession of a burgage tenement was probably a necessary qualification for a burgess, but all burgage tenures had ceased before 1835. (fn. 28) The capital burgesses (fn. 29) were chosen from among the free burgesses, but the latter never seem to have taken any part in the administration of the borough and were only present at the meetings for the election of members of Parliament. In 1835 there had been no recent elections of free burgesses except of such as were intended for chief burgesses immediately. The corporation had by this means been reduced to the smallest possible limits, possibly owing to a desire to prevent any risk of opposition at parliamentary elections. (fn. 30)
The function of the common clerk who under the charter of 1609 was elected by the common council and held office during pleasure was to attend at meetings of the common council and enter the proceedings in a book and to keep the accounts and serve as steward of the court leet. His salary was £6 6s. a year with a fee of a guinea on the election of a free or chief burgess. The serjeant-at-mace held office under the charter of 1609 during pleasure and by the election of the common council. (fn. 31) His salary was a guinea and his duty was to attend all meetings of the corporation and serve all notices and summonses of the mayor.
The market of Yarmouth was held on Mondays and a fair lasting three days took place at the feast of St. James. The right to both market and fair was successfully claimed by Isabel de Fortibus in 1279–80, (fn. 32) and belonged to the borough after 1440. By the charter of 1609 the market day was changed to Wednesday, (fn. 33) and in 1778 the market was held on Fridays, but was unfrequented. (fn. 34) In 1849 it was held on Wednesdays (fn. 35) and in 1863 and subsequently on Fridays, (fn. 36) but the market had died out before 1875. The date of the fair remained unchanged until 1863, (fn. 37) but it was merely a pleasure fair in 1792, (fn. 38) and ceased before 1875.
The revenues of the corporation in 1835 arose from tolls of the markets and fairs, wharfage dues, a rent of £4 12s. 6d. derived from 2½ acres of land, fee-farm rents from old burgage tenements called town rents, amounting to £3 17s. 6d., and rent arising from the lease of an oyster fishery. The wharfage dues were imposed upon all goods imported or exported by water, but no toll was levied upon fish. In addition to this a toll was imposed on each vessel of 12 or 15 tons and upwards. Burgesses were exempt from all these dues. (fn. 39) In 1835 the tolls of the market had diminished to 10s. a year, paid by a butcher, the only person who sold in the market-house, for his standing there. (fn. 40) Fair tolls were taken from persons setting up stalls at the fairs, but the receipts at each fair seldom exceeded 2s. 6d. (fn. 41) In the 13th and 14th centuries the market and fair tolls had varied between 16s. and 22s. (fn. 42)
By the charter of 1609 the mayor and burgesses were entitled to hold a court of pie powder, but this court, if it was ever held, was quite obsolete in 1835 (fn. 43); in fact, the borough of Yarmouth never seems to have had a borough court as distinct from the court leet, any by-laws or orders for the payment of money being made at the meetings of the common council. (fn. 44) The only case which has been found in which the court leet is called the court of the mayor and burgesses is in 1625. (fn. 45)
During the 17th century the court leet was apparently held twice a year, in April and September or October, (fn. 46) but in 1835 the commissioners found that it was held only once a year on 18 October. The jury was composed of the small tradespeople of the town, and the same persons generally attended year by year as a matter of course without a summons, providing substitutes when they were unable themselves to be present. An allowance was made to the jury for a dinner on the court day. (fn. 47) They presented two high constables, (fn. 48) two petty constables (fn. 49) and a hayward annually, and also presented encroachments, nuisances and improper weights and measures. (fn. 50)
Yarmouth and Newport together returned two members to Parliament in 1295, (fn. 51) but Yarmouth was not again represented until 1584, (fn. 52) from which date it regularly returned two members until disfranchised in 1832.
Yarmouth was visited by King John in May 1206, (fn. 53) and it was probably at this time that he entertained the Earl of Salisbury there. (fn. 54) He again visited the town in February 1213–14, making a stay of a week, (fn. 55) so that there must have been at that time a mansion of some importance at Yarmouth.
A survey of the town taken in 1559 showed that its size and importance had greatly diminished, since there were not many more than a dozen houses. (fn. 56) The commissioners of 1835 stated that there was scarcely any trade in the town and very little export or import. (fn. 57)
In the survey of Yarmouth taken in 1559 a list is given of all the boats belonging to the port. (fn. 60) At a court leet held in 1602 the inhabitants were bidden to repair the quay with all speed, (fn. 61) and in 1603 the common council ordered that every ship belonging to the port of the burden of forty tons and upwards should pay yearly at Michaelmas towards the maintenance of the quay 5s.; boats between forty and twenty tons, 2s. 6d.; and those between ten and twenty tons, 1s. 6d.; all barques of four tons and upwards using the passage should pay 1s. and 'every pynnys keeping passage' 6d. (fn. 62) In 1618 the quay was again in decay, and the duty of repairing it fell upon the mayor and constables, (fn. 63) while in 1625 a levy for that purpose was made upon all the inhabitants of the town. (fn. 64)
In 1628 Charles I granted the port of Yarmouth to Mary Wandisford, widow, and to William Wandisford, her sister's husband, (fn. 65) who proposed to include it in a scheme for cutting off the parishes of Freshwater and Totland from the main island. The mayor and burgesses petitioned against this scheme, on the ground that it would ruin their harbour by diminishing the current of the river, which was already only just sufficient to keep the harbour clear. (fn. 66) About 1662, however, the Governor of the Island cut a passage round the eastern side of the town, thus making it an island, with a view to rendering it more capable of being fortified, as a French invasion was feared. (fn. 67) Two years later the marshes were embanked and the town was connected with the main island by a drawbridge. (fn. 68) In 1825 £44 12s. 9d. was spent in repairs to the quay and sea wall, which had been injured by a storm, (fn. 69) and in 1829, the wharfs having been found insufficient, an application was made to the Board of Ordnance for a lease of some ground belonging to the castle and adjoining the old wharf, which was granted to the corporation at a rent of £1, and a quit-rent paid to the Board of Ordnance. The corporation also had to pay the government £30 for the old material standing upon the ground. In the following year the corporation built a new wharf on this land and the site of the old wharf. (fn. 70)
The trade of the port is at the present day very limited, the imports consisting chiefly of coal and iron, but not more than is required for use in the immediate neighbourhood. A small quantity of corn is exported.
The manor of YARMOUTH, consisting of a hide and 2½ virgates of land, was held in the time of King Edward the Confessor by Alvric and Wislac in parage of the king, and they retained it after the Conquest. It formed one of the three holdings in Hemreswel Hundred. (fn. 71) The manor was evidently granted by Henry I to Richard de Redvers, and subsequently followed the same descent as the lordship of the Isle (fn. 72) and Carisbrooke Castle (q.v.) until about 1440, when the men of Yarmouth began to farm their own borough. The interest of the lord of the manor was from then until about 1886 represented by a fee-farm rent of 20s. annually, which was apparently granted by the Crown to Sir Robert Holmes. He died in 1692, leaving an illegitimate daughter Mary, and left the chief part of his estate to his nephew Henry Holmes on condition that he should marry Mary Holmes. (fn. 73) This Henry did and the fee-farm rent of Yarmouth passed on his death in 1738 to his son Thomas, who was created Lord Holmes of Killmallock in 1760. (fn. 74) He died in 1764 without surviving issue, and was succeeded in the property by his nephew the Rev. Leonard Holmes, formerly Troughear, who was created Baron Holmes in 1798. (fn. 75) He died in 1804 and the rent passed to his daughter Elizabeth wife of Sir Henry Worsley Holmes, bart. On her death in 1832 it passed to her granddaughter Elizabeth, wife of William Henry Ashe A'Court, who assumed the name Holmes in 1833 and succeeded his father as Lord Heytesbury in 1860. (fn. 76) He died in 1891 and was succeeded by his grandson William Frederick third Lord Heytesbury, whose widow, Margaret Lady Heytesbury, is now lady of the manor.
Sir Robert Holmes, Governor of the Isle of Wight from 1669 until 1692, (fn. 77) built at Yarmouth a large mansion, said to be the present Pier Hotel (fn. 78) (formerly, until 1897, the George Inn), where in 1671, 1675 and 1677 he entertained the king with great magnificence. (fn. 79) The room where Charles II slept is still shown at the inn. This house was apparently built on the site of an old mansion, probably to be identified with 'the king's house' at Yarmouth mentioned in 1638. (fn. 80)
In 1301–2 a payment of 3s. was made for a new pillory at Yarmouth. (fn. 81)
The castle of Yarmouth was built towards the end of the reign of Henry VIII (fn. 82) in consequence of a raid by the French upon the Island about 1543, (fn. 83) and formed part of the south coast defence scheme which included Calshot, Hurst, and Sandown. It was built under the superintendence of Richard Worsley, then Captain of the Island, (fn. 84) and consisted of a tower and platform towards the sea, mounted with cannon of various calibre, (fn. 85) backed with the usual residence and storehouse. It had a fine gateway towards the east with the royal arms above it, (fn. 86) and seems to have been a more ambitious building than either Cowes or Sandown. The building was probably finished about 1547, for in that year £1,000 was paid to George Mill for the works at Yarmouth and for the discharge of the soldiers there. (fn. 87) The castle has always belonged to the Crown, and was exempted by a special clause in the charter of 1609 from the jurisdiction of the borough. (fn. 88) Repairs were required there in 1565, and were carried out under the direction of Richard Worsley. (fn. 89)
Owing to troubles with Spain the fortifications of the coast towns were inquired into in 1586, and the defences of Yarmouth Castle were found to be very insufficient. (fn. 90) Between March and November in the following year works costing in all £50 7s. 7d. were carried out at Yarmouth under the supervision of Thomas Worsley and John Dingley. The chief item seems to have been the erection of a fortification of earth and turf. (fn. 91) After the Armada scare it was again repaired, and a new building was erected on the platform. (fn. 92) In 1599 Sir Edmund Uvedale estimated at £300 the cost of putting Yarmouth Castle into a proper state of defence, and stated that the sum would be well spent, as Yarmouth was strongly situated, and was a necessary fort for holding up any ships which might get past Hurst Castle and Carey's Sconce. (fn. 93) Repairs were undertaken at about this time, and were reported in 1603 as being almost completed. (fn. 94) In 1609, however, the Earl of Southampton, then Governor of the Isle of Wight, spent £300 on the repairs of Sandown and Yarmouth Castles. (fn. 95) In 1623, when John Burley was Captain and the garrison consisted of four men, a survey of the castle was taken. The surveyors reported that the parapet of the middle tower was quite decayed, and that lodging was wanted for four gunners. The three rooms in the square tower were in a ruinous state and required roofing. The moat and the sluice regulating the supply of water in it were both useless. The moat was 17 rods in circumference and 2 rods wide, and was to be made 5 ft. deeper, and a counter-scarp of brick or earth was to be constructed.
Repairs were again urgently required in 1625. (fn. 96)
On the outbreak of the Civil War in 1642 the Parliamentarians took steps to secure all the castles of the Isle of Wight. Captain Barnaby Burley, who was then in command at Yarmouth, made active preparations to defend the castle for the king, but finally surrendered on condition that he might remain in the castle, the Parliamentarians leaving with him a sufficient guard. (fn. 97)
In 1650 the garrison at Yarmouth was found to be very insufficient, and it was proposed that the existing force of a captain and thirty men should be increased by thirty men and a lieutenant. (fn. 98) Thus in 1654 the garrison comprised seventy soldiers, (fn. 99) and in 1655 the cost of the upkeep of the garrison was £78 3s. 4d., and steps were taken to reduce it. (fn. 100) On the accession of Charles II the dismantling of castles and fortresses, begun under the Long Parliament as a precaution against rebellion, was carried further, and in 1661 the entire garrison of Yarmouth Castle was disbanded at four days' notice, and the removal of the guns to Cowes was ordered unless the men of Yarmouth would undertake to defend their own castle. (fn. 101) Apparently the burgesses did not do this, for in 1666 the king wrote to Lord Colepeper, then Governor of the Island, suggesting that the inhabitants of Yarmouth and other places in the Isle of Wight might contribute to the safety of the Island by fortifying their castles. (fn. 102) Some steps may have been taken in this direction, for Sir Robert Holmes, when he surveyed the fortifications in 1669, found that, though Yarmouth Castle was totally out of repair and had no officer, there were four men acting as a garrison. (fn. 103) In the following year orders were issued by the king for the proper fortification of the town of Yarmouth, fresh ground to be bought if necessary for the extension of existing fortifications, and such guns and ordnance as could be spared from Cowes to be placed at Yarmouth. (fn. 104)
In 1688, when William of Orange was preparing to land in England, Sir Robert Holmes wrote in despair to Lord Preston that he could never secure the Island without speedy help. He could only attempt to retain the two forts of Yarmouth and Hurst, the militia being already mutinous and the townspeople ready to declare in favour of the prince. (fn. 105) In the following year things were in the same bad state. (fn. 106) The military establishment in 1781 included a captain, one master gunner and five other gunners. (fn. 107) Extensive repairs were carried out at the fort in 1855, and it was then garrisoned by a detachment of the regular army of the county, (fn. 108) but it was dismantled about thirty years later, and the fort has been used since about 1898 for coastguard purposes. It consisted in 1863 of a platform with four guns. (fn. 109) The castle is leased to the proprietors of the Pier Hotel, with which it is now incorporated. (fn. 110)
The parish church of ST. JAMES is an uninteresting structure consisting of nave with north and south aisles, a chancel and a western tower. The original church was said by local tradition to have been at the east end of the town, and its foundations were visible in the old churchyard in 1845. (fn. 111) Destroyed by the French in their raid of 1377, it is said to have been rebuilt on the present site only to be again reduced to a ruin in 1543. At the beginning of the 17th century it was practically rebuilt, (fn. 112) and reconsecrated by the Bishop of Salisbury on 11 March 1626. (fn. 113) The chancel, which had a polygonal roof with enriched bosses at the intersection of the ribs, was lengthened 12 ft. in 1889. To the south of it is the little mortuary chapel containing a fine statue of Sir Robert Holmes, died 1692, and many memorials to the Holmes family. There is a wall tablet by Nollekens to Captain John Urry, 1802, and in the floor are 17th-century grave slabs of the Hide family (fn. 114) and to Peter Pryavlx, 1644. On the front of the gallery at the west end are brass tablets commemorating the different charitable bequests, and in the north aisle is the royal achievement of George I, 1715.
There is one bell, by James Bartlet of London, inscribed 'The . Gvift . of . Sir . Richard . Mason . Knight . 1679' and a clock made by Nicholas Paris in the same year.
The plate consists of two pewter 18th-century patens, plated flagon, plated paten on three feet, of 8½ in. diameter, and plated chalice, both inscribed 'PARISH OF YARMOUTH,' and silver chalice and paten. In the vestry are two lidded pewter flagons said to have formerly been used in the church.
The registers date from 1614.
Baldwin de Redvers, the first of the name, granted to the priory of Christchurch Twyneham the tithes that belonged to Sir Alfred de Brockley in Yarmouth, (fn. 115) and this grant was confirmed by his sons Richard and Baldwin and by the king in 1313. (fn. 116) The lords of the manor evidently retained the advowson, (fn. 117) and it passed to the king in the same way as the manor, (fn. 118) and was granted with it to the Earl of Chester. (fn. 119) In 1333, however, Philip de Heyterdebury came before the king and sought to recover the advowson of a moiety of the church of Yarmouth to the Prior of Christchurch Twyneham, the advowson having been taken into the king's hands on account of the prior's default before Geoffrey le Scrop the king's justice. (fn. 120) In the following year Geoffrey and his fellow-justices received orders not to put the prior in default for his absence at a suit between the king and the prior concerning the rendering by the prior to the king of a moiety of the advowson, as the prior was in the king's service at that time. (fn. 121) Presumably the whole advowson then passed to the king, (fn. 122) and the king or the Lord Chancellor presented (fn. 123) until 1866–7, when the advowson was purchased by Samuel Fisher. (fn. 124) In 1894–5 it was sold by the trustees of the Rev. C. T. Fisher to the Rev. B. Maturin, from whom it passed in 1900 to Mr. Elmer Speed, the present patron. (fn. 125)
In 1380 the church of Yarmouth was exonerated from the subsidy on account of the poverty (fn. 126) of the town, which had been burnt by the French. In 1559 in the survey above quoted it is stated that the benefice of Yarmouth was insufficient to find a priest, (fn. 127) and in 1654 the mayor and inhabitants of the town in a petition to the Protector stated that the benefice, being not above 20 marks a year, served only for an old man who could merely read. They, therefore, begged that they might have an augmentation of £50 a year, so that they could have a proper pastor, and this request was granted. (fn. 128)
A brief assigned to the year 1626 was issued for building a new church at Yarmouth, (fn. 129) and by a faculty granted by the Bishop of Winchester in 1635 the townsfolk of Yarmouth were allowed to pull down their old church, which was in a ruinous state, and to build a new one. (fn. 130)
William de Vernon, lord of the Isle of Wight from 1184 to 1216, granted and confirmed to William Mackerel the land and house at Yarmouth which Guy the clerk held, for making a hospital in honour of God and St. Mary the Virgin and All Saints, for the soul of King Henry son of Earl Geoffrey and for the soul of Earl Baldwin and Richard his brother, (fn. 131) and for the soul of William Mackerel and his ancestors. (fn. 132) William's grant was confirmed by Baldwin Archbishop of Canterbury (1185–90), (fn. 133) and by Godfrey Bishop of Winchester (1189–1204). (fn. 134) The hospital was endowed with land at Milford and Kerne, and at Chalk in Wiltshire, and with the chapel of Brook. (fn. 135) William Mackerel apparently gave the hospital with its endowments to the knights of Solomon's Temple, for his gift to that effect was confirmed by Ralph his brother and successor, and by William de Vernon. (fn. 136) It would seem that the hospital was allowed to fall into decay, for no further mention of it has been found, and its endowment with the exception of the chapel of Brook was appropriated to the Knights Templars.
There are Baptist, Wesleyan and Bible Christian chapels at Yarmouth, the latter having been registered for marriages in 1869, (fn. 137) and the Plymouth Brethren have a small room.
The Town Trust, comprising the property of the dissolved corporation of 'The Mayor and Chief Burgesses of Yarmouth,' is regulated by a scheme of the Charity Commissioners 30 December 1890.
The property consists of:—
Part i, fee-farm rents and parcels of land and buildings in Yarmouth, and £134 19s. 5d. Plymouth Corporation 3 per cent. stock, £35 6s. 8d. consols, and £49 18s. 6d. India 3 per cent. stock held by the official trustees;

Part iii, the pier and tolls and rates comprised in and levied under the Yarmouth (I. of W.) Pier Order 1874;
Part iv, the mace, common seal, ancient charters, &c.;
Part v, mud land containing 36 a. 2 r. 27 p.
The scheme directs that the income from Part i, about £30 a year, shall be applied in defraying cost of repairs and management of Parts i and iv, and in maintenance of the town hall and to any purpose for public benefit; the income from Part ii, about £250 a year, in payment of harbour master and other officers, in maintaining harbour lights, &c., and in contributing to the expenses of the pier; the income from Part iii, about £610 a year, in upkeep of the pier, including salaries of officers, and in paying interest accruing in respect of debts incurred.
In 1752 Thomas Lord Holmes by deed charged his farm called Alverstone in Brading with an annuity of £30, to be applied in keeping in repair the monument in the parish church in memory of his son, one-third of the residue in apprenticing poor boys and girls, a moiety of the remainder for the minister and the other moiety for the poor. By an order of the Charity Commissioners 12 June 1896 the yearly sum of 20s. was directed to be applied in repair of the monument and £9 13s. 4d. for the minister, constituting the Ecclesiastical charity, £9 13s. 4d. for apprenticing and £9 13s. 4d. for the poor.
In 1846 Joseph Squire by will bequeathed £200 consols, now £196 14s. 1d. Nottingham Corporation 3 per cent. stock, the dividends to be distributed among poor not receiving parochial relief, on the anniversary of testator's death (September 14).
In 1856 John Squire, by his will proved at Winchester 15 September, bequeathed £100 consols, now £98 7s. like Corporation stock, the income to be applied in distribution of coals to poor widows at Christmas.
In 1872 Miss Harriet Blagrave Dean Love by deed gave £200 consols, now £196 19s. 2d. like Corporation stock, the income to be distributed to the poor on 1 January yearly.
The same donor, by her will proved at London 17 March 1881, left £50 consols, now £49 4s. 3d. like Corporation stock, the interest to be applied in keeping in repair a tablet in the church and tombstones in the churchyard, and the surplus to any useful or charitable purpose. The income of this charity is accumulating until required.
In 1871 Vice-Admiral Henry Ommanney Love by deed gave £200 consols, now £196 19s. 2d. like Corporation stock, the income to be applied as to one moiety for the rector and the other moiety for the poor on 1 March in each year.
In 1868 Caroline Leigh, by her will proved at Winchester 27 October, bequeathed £1,000 consols, now £984 16s. 1d. like Corporation stock, producing £29 11s. yearly, to be applied in augmentation of the rector's stipend.
The sums of stock above mentioned are held by the official trustees, producing in the aggregate £51 13s. 6d., of which £32 10s. is received by the rector, in addition to the share of Lord Holmes's charity. The proportion (fn. 138) applicable for eleemosynary purposes is distributed in coal and money doles.
In 1825 Jane Seymour Hearne by will bequeathed a sum of money, now represented by £88 8s. Nottingham Corporation 3 per cent. stock.
In 1871 Vice-Admiral Henry Ommanney Love by deed gave £100 consols, now £98 9s. 7d. like Corporation stock.

The several sums of stock are held by the official trustees, producing in the aggregate £43 8s. yearly, which is applied in connexion with the National schools.

Key Facts on how charitable donations to your faith centre can go further
In 2016 the Charity Commission reported a peak in charitable giving during the month of Ramadan, with £38 being donated by Muslims per second. In 2017 over £100 million was raised during this holy month. With Ramadan fast approaching it is a perfect time to make sure that your charitable organisation is maximising the value of donations.
Gift Aid is a scheme that enables registered charities to increase the donations they receive. Gift Aid reclaims the tax already paid on the money being donated, from HM Revenue and Custom (HMRC), for charitable causes. By claiming Gift Aid for you charitable organisation you can increase the value of the donations you receive by 25p to every £1, on donations up to £8000 per tax year.
There are several considerations to be mindful of when applying for Gift Aid. First, and foremost, gift aid can only be claimed on money that is being collected for a registered charity. Following from this, it is very important that religious institutions, and other organisations, collecting donations are well informed on the charity they are fundraising for. Finally, there are two ways that gift aid can be collected and understanding both of these options will ensure that you are not missing out on maximising all donations that are eligible for this scheme.
Defining what a charity ‘is’ is a complex, and sometimes controversial, topic. Officially, a charity is understood as an organisation that is set up for charitable purposes and provides public benefits. Acts of giving, which may be perceived as acts of charity, may not be legally regarded as such. Many of us are familiar with the sight of collection bowls being passed around at our local places of worship, or local community centres, to raise money for issues close to the hearts our communities.
The causes being collected for may go towards supporting a member of the community who is sick, or too fund projects that will benefit the immediate, wider, or global community. If this money is not being collected on behalf of a registered charity, however, than they will not be liable for gift aid.
Although those raising money often have the best intentions at heart, it is best to personally make sure the cause you plan to give money too is registered. The easiest way to do this is by checking for the charity registration number on The Charity Commission website.
Registered charities are eligible for two Gift Aid schemes:
Scheme 1: The main Gift Aid scheme allows eligible charities to claim 25p per £1 donated, on up £8000 per tax year, depending on eligibility. Click here for the application.
How to Apply:
Step 1: Apply to HMRC for recognition as a charity or a CASC for tax purposes.
If your Charity has income above £5000 you will have to register with the Charity Commission before applying to the HMRC.
Step 2: Nominate an authorised official and/or nominee.
Step 3: Fill in the R68(i) ‘Gift Aid and tax repayment claims’ form.
After you have completed these steps HMRC will confirm your status as a charity and issue a reference number that you will be required to state on all correspondence with them.
When collecting Gift Aid donations you will have to get a declaration from your donors, including their full name, address (including postcode), details of the donations covered by the declaration and confirmation that they are a UK taxpayer. One declaration can apply to all future donations from the donor.
Donations can be collected in face-to-face, over the internet, and by telephone, in any circumstance you should issue all donors with a declaration and make sure that this is signed.
You must keep either an electronic or paper record of the declarations, showing that your donors have agreed that you can reclaim the tax on their donation.
Scheme 2: The Gift Aid small Donations scheme (GASDS) allows eligible charities to claim ‘top-up’ payments on the small cash donations they receive. This means that charities don’t need the donor to complete an individual Gift Aid declaration to make a claim. In order to claim these donations, follow the steps below:
These small claims apply to amounts of £20 per individual donation or less. Most Faith Institution Charities may claim a top-up of £8000 per tax year, through this scheme, on cash that was collected after the 6th April 2017. Cash collected prior to this date are subject to different rules, which can be found on the HMRC website.
You are required to keep records of small donations as evidence of your claim. You should record: how much money was collected, including each denomination of coins and notes;
the date the money was collected;
that no individual donation was greater than £20;
if you’ve collected contactless donations you’ll need to keep the records produced by the contactless terminal.
You must claim on small cash donations within 2 years from the end of the tax year that you collected them, and give the total amount of the small donations when making your claim.
Have claimed main Gift Aid (see scheme 1) in the same tax year as you want to claim a top-up payment (scheme 2)
How to apply:
Step 2: activate your account using the activation code sent to you by Government Gateway, this usually take around a week to arrive and must be used within 28 days.
Step 3: Sign into your Charities Online account, and proceed to fill out the claims form:
Select ‘access service,’ then ‘make a charity repayment claim’ where you will specify that you are making a Gift Aid claim.
When you’ve filled in details of your claim, you’ll be asked for more information about your charity on a page titled ‘About the organisation’.
- You will then be asked to fill in the ‘repayment claim details’ page, where you can tell HMRC about the donations to your charity that you can reclaim tax on. You can send these details on a document called a schedule spreadsheet.
- You will need to save this spreadsheet to your computer and attach it to the claims form.
- You will be taken to the declaration page to finalise your form.
- When you have submitted a claim, you will get an on-screen confirmation with the date and time it was sent. You will also see a reference number which you must make a note of and quote in any correspondence with HMRC regarding your claim.

2020 has been crazy… to say the least. But in many ways, 2020 has thrust a huge spotlight on something we’ve known for quite some time – – mobile threats are real and mobile devices and apps need protection. It truly is crazy how many stories we’ve seen – and the year isn’t over yet – where the need for mobile security is front and center.
Recently, Scott King and I hosted a webinar on the Top Five Mobile Security Stories of a Crazy 2020. For those who may not know, Scott – among many other things – has authored many of our threat reports related to mobile apps, including a recent series on security and privacy risks on financial apps from around the world. To watch the webinar on-demand, please click here.
We each developed a list of the top five mobile security stories independently, and tried to refrain from any COVID-specific stories. With that in mind, here are Scott’s top five:
A tip from a young girl on TikTok who found three TikTok users, one of whom had more than 300,000 followers, promoting what appeared to be an abusive app. The girl reported it to Be Safe Online, a project in the Czech Republic that educates children about online safety.
The tip led to the discovery of aggressive adware and exorbitant prices lurking in iOS and Android smartphone apps with a combined 2.4 million downloads from the App Store and Google Play.
In 2020, we not only received confirmation that popular apps like WhatsApp are vulnerable, we saw that vulnerable apps are being used as a way to install spyware. Roger Torrent and Ernest Maragell – two Catalonia politicians – and Jeff Bezos were all victims of targeted spear phishing campaigns where attackers took advantage of the vulnerabilities of an app as a means to their end.
The simple fact is, no platform is 100 percent bulletproof and no app is 100 percent bulletproof. That’s why in the mobile world, just like in the traditional endpoint world, we constantly have to be looking for, finding and patching vulnerabilities, as well as providing protection behind vulnerabilities when something goes and exploits it – – like what happened here with WhatsApp.
This is related to the iOS 14 beta when it first came out, and people installed it. Users noticed that some apps had access to their pasteboard or their keyboard and the operating system would warn you – ‘Reddit is monitoring what you’re typing right now in LinkedIn or Twitter or some other app.’
There were a lot of videos on Twitter on how this works. The privacy aspect of that is going to change the way we really think about our private information.
Unfortunately throughout 2020, we’ve seen the continuing evolution of remote access banking Trojans. Anubis…BlackRock…Cerberus…Alien. One is released; does its damage by grabbing our banking credentials; signature is created; here comes the slightly tweaked next one….and so on….and so on. It’s clear we must monitor this as the Trojans continue to evolve and evade detection.
Okay, so at first blush this may seem self-serving, and we are very proud that the Department of Defense (DoD) selected Zimperium Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) to deliver comprehensive Mobile Endpoint Protection (MEP) to the unclassified government furnished (GFE) devices of servicemen and women around the world.
The fact that we will protect DoD mobile users and endpoints against phishing, malicious/risky apps, OS exploits and network attacks, points to the real story: The DoD saw a proliferation of threats and attacks on mobile devices – as we’ve described above and will continue to do so below – and recognized the need for protection. Now.
Scott had a great list. Here’s mine which again, I developed separate from Scott:
Back in January, the Associated Press (and the world) reported that two U.N. experts called for the U.S. to investigate a likely hack of Jeff Bezos’ phone. A commissioned forensic report found with “medium to high confidence” that Bezos’ iPhone X was compromised by a video MP4 file he received in May 2018.
The Bezos hack was the highest profile mobile breach to date, bringing into focus the need to protect mobile devices.
Much like the Bezos hack, so much has been written about TikTok. One aspect not receiving the attention it deserves is the idea that the TikTok app is the exception when it comes to mobile app privacy and security is false. It is the rule – – almost every mobile app has privacy and security risks. The degrees obviously vary, but the results are indisputable – – mobile apps are fraught with privacy and security risks.
For example, in the last year, we’ve researched the top banking apps in 2020 and 2019, leading travel apps, shopping apps and dating apps. The overwhelming majority of the apps have privacy and security concerns.
Another example of a vulnerability occurred in April, when Apple acknowledged that every iPhone released in the last eight years was vulnerable to remote attacks through the iOS Mail app. Apple did patch the vulnerability in the iOS 13.4.5 beta. This further demonstrates the fact that every platform and app can be vulnerable. This is not an iOS thing; this is a reality of all platforms and apps thing.
To reiterate Scott’s points, the big takeaway for me is that – thanks to the DoD – the spotlight is brightly on two things: 1) mobile devices are the major, if not only, endpoint for many users going forward and 2) that mobile endpoints are under attack and need protecting.
COVID-19 created a situation unlike anything many of us have ever seen; yet one that will likely leave permanent changes in remote working and learning. With the overnight shift towards entire workforces working remotely from home, on all variety of corporate and personal (bring your own) devices, IT and security teams have been in triage mode from a security and risk perspective.
We saw, and continue to see increases in COVID-related phishing and malware attacks as businesses scramble to provide protection to its employees.
It’s not just remote working. Faced with uncertainty in an ever-evolving climate, school districts and higher learning institutions are struggling to do what is best for students and teachers alike. For schools relying on Chromebooks for remote education, students, teachers and administrators face the same privacy and security threats associated with laptops and mobile devices, without the same security measures.

The Galway Cycling Campaign is marking the first
United Nations Global Road Safety Week with an
education campaign for the city’s road users. Over the
week, which runs from 23-29 April, campaign volunteers
will be distributing “Share the Road” guidance
leaflets at various locations around Galway. The
leaflets are targeted at adult cyclists as well as
motorists and their aim is to promote safer road use
by encouraging greater tolerance and understanding
between all road users.
The guide for adult cyclists describes essential
traffic skills and general good practice for cycling
in Galway City, as well as reminding cyclists of their
legal obligations and rights on the road. The guide
for motorists contains similar information, looked at
from the driver’s perspective.
Education Officer for the Galway Cycling Campaign,
Oisín Ó Nidh, said that one of the main aims of the
organisation is to promote road safety, not just for
cyclists but for pedestrians and motorists also.
“Cycling is a fantastic way of getting around Galway,
if you go about it the right way,” Mr. Ó Nidh said.
“It’s definitely healthier, often easier, frequently
faster and is certainly better for the environment.
Making it safer multiplies the benefits for
individuals and for the community. Safer cycling
encourages more people to get on their bikes, and the
more cyclists there are, the safer cycling becomes.
The guides emphasise that a bicycle is legally a
vehicle, and that therefore cyclists are required to
obey all the standard rules of the road. “The slogan
for Global Road Safety Week is ‘Road Safety Is No
Accident’,” Mr Ó Nidh said. “Sharing the road safely
requires all road users to behave with courtesy,
tolerance and common sense. Road safety requires
cooperation and cop-on, and it should be everybody’s
business. That includes policy-makers and road
designers, because road safety is about much more than
individual behaviour. Structural measures designed to
reduce speed and alleviate traffic are essential. The
Galway Cycling Campaign is playing its part, and we
welcome any new members that would like to get
involved. Anybody interested can find out more at

Biggest challenge yet is to find the space you need to do the things you want to do.
Everything else is not necessary.
Learning how to maximize your lifestyle is the closest you will ever get to true freedom.
The less stuff you have, the less space you need. By not needing those things, you will find it much easier to spread your wings.
If you want freedom then create the space for it to grow.

The cruelest live little penis humiliation webcam Domme is back! HelenJonson truly dislikes small dick losers, and also after 100 SPH web cam sessions with her, I can claim that this online small dick humiliation web cam Dominatrix never disappointed my need of being enormously degraded due to my pathetic small dick size.
To start with, She genuinely dislikes as well as dislikes small dicks. The main factor is straightforward: she enjoys to be banged by huge black penis individuals. Picture if you keeping that useless tiny dick can even go next to satisfy such an unpleasant female.
Once you will enter her live SPH webcam chatroom and blink her your pencil dick, you will right away observe she will certainly laugh at your small cock. Really, she will certainly laugh so loud you will certainly repent since every person will certainly listen to her words. Mini cocks like you must never ever attempt to enter these SPH cams, and even if you furiously masturbate to obtain a decent erection, it won’t function. Why? Even if you ever obtain an erection your pitiful small penis won’t be noticed.
She is an exceptional London based evil-minded FemDom Dominatrix Web cam and also very typically readily available online to give you the cruelest slave time you have actually ever obtained. This Domme has more than one decade of experience in the BDSM globe and knows precisely how to make you follow as well as obtain a dependancy from her.
I have hardly ever seen an Extreme Dominatrix like her. Once you enter this alluring sexy, advanced, classy, real lady, it will certainly get deep right into your mind as well as make you addicted to Her for the rest of your life.
I know this is the most awful abuse for you: taking a look at this Mistress as well as not having an opportunity to offer and also follow Her.
Miss Jonsson is a premium lady, and you will certainly never ever become her equal.
Consequently I need to offer as well as act on her orders. In her eyes, I am disabled.
I like to be in Miss Jonsson’s room. It feels so cozy as well as risk-free and a chance to experience her wonderful female perspective the best among the very best.
I want to add regarding this femdom Mistress webcam because she enjoys money greater than anything else. She is a best financial Dominatrix and will certainly take care of your wallet much better than yourself.
Amount of your invested money is truly crucial, as well as you constantly require to keep in mind this Domme is there not to do something for your money or to just get them if it makes sense. She is on the internet for Her very own satisfaction when she has spare time and also state of mind to see you people with your obsessions and also weird proclivities.
She suches as teasing, hide a body like She has is criminal, as well as she takes pleasure in driving you ridiculous, make you weak, useless in front of her, see just how you drooling, just how thrilled you are to orgasm or being refuted.
She likes it when in the long run, both sides obtain what they desire, but Her concern, certainly, is FIRST.
She appreciate if you work hard to get this money, but male, if you enter her real-time BDSM chat room, you entraped below yourself, so simply let it go, give up to this webcam Mistress and also enjoy conversation with most smart and also premium Domme.
As quickly as I joined this cam Goddess’s area, it was obvious who was in charge, without being commanding, she was promptly able to draw out anything she wanted from me. At one point, I educated her of something that annoyed her, as well as I was instantly revealed my area under her magnificent feet.
At this stage, I couldn’t visualize intending to escape from her control, and I eagerly anticipate more thorough web cam to webcam training sessions in the future.
Repeat, repeatedly, it is difficult to catch Her totally alone and burnt out in Her femdom chatroom( She is a quite busy model), take 121 chat to get Her complete attention.

EXPED’s famous MegaMat built 50% thicker! The 15 cm/6" thick air-core-channeled foam allows the mat to be soft-inflated for an enhanced cradling of the body. Combined with 50-denier stretch top fabric, MegaMat Max offers an unbelievably soft and supple sleep platform. In addition, vertical sidewalls (3-D construction) provide edge-to-edge comfort and gap-free coupling of mats. EXPED's extra-large deflation valve ensures fast deflation and the included top-loading SideWinder stuff sack eases packing and carries over the shoulder.
MegaMat Max has at its core 15 centimeters (6”) of just-the-right density, Oeko-Tex 100 certified, open-cell polyurethane foam for support and warmth. In addition, the foam has had cores removed to produce horizontal air-channels, which reduce weight and packed volume. To enhance the cradling effect, like a high-end home-based bed, the mat’s surface is a brushed, stretch tricot nylon that relieves pressure points (hips and shoulders) while evenly supporting the body across all surfaces, head to foot. Because of the open-cell foam, MegaMat Max is self-inflating; when the inflate valve is opened, the foam expands and draws air into the mat. An EXPED Mini Pump is included to top-off the inflation and achieve the preferred firmness. Also, inflate and deflate valves are soft, large, high flow-rate FlatValves™ – an EXPED “firstovation (first-ever innovation). Because the inflate valve is equipped with a one-way flapper, it can very easily be opened during the night and with just the touch of a fingertip, air can be purged to soften the mat if an over-zealous inflation-master set up camp.
Another important EXPED firstovation is the construction of the vertical, 3-dimensional sidewalls of the mat. These allow the top surface to extend all the way out to the edge of the mat, without tapering, maximizing the usable sleeping surface, just like a bed at home.
- Stretch tricot surface for maximum comfort
- Air-core-channeled foam reduces weight and bulk
- Extra-large deflation valve for maximum air flow
- Sold with easy-to-pack SideWinder™ stuff sack

What People Say About Us
Extremely professional and quality work
Good folks and know their stuff
Mike and the crew are top notch. These guys really do care about making people happy. I will never go anywhere else. Period!
Awesome shop good friendly environment and the best prices in town
Bought a new car had some problems took it to this shop had me fixed up in no time. Will stand behind their work 100%. All the mechanics are very friendly would recommend to anyone
I highly recommend this business. Most people pass by places like this that aren't "well known" names but in this case that's a huge mistake. Back in March I got a flat tire had to get a tow because two bolts on the tire broke during the process of changing the tire. I got towed to Discount Tire they told me they don't fix tire bolts. The tow truck operator told me he would check out Priority Auto but they were already closed according to Google. We drove there to what seemed like a closed shop but the guys although off the clock were helpful and fixed the bolts, put air in the spare tire and and got me back on the road. Very reasonable with pricing and professionalism. THEY DID NOT ATTEMPT TO UP SELL ME! I will be back very soon
Had my f150 serviced here today. Was going to cost me an arm and a leg at the dealer and wouldnt be fixed till monday. Need it done asap since we are passing through. Looked up this place since it was close to the hotel. Guys fixed the problem and wasnt what the dealers said it was..thank you guys for getting us back on the road asap. All employees are friendly and make you feel like family. Highly recommend this guys !
Good service, very good actually, knowledgeable staff,speed of service was superb, best low price for oil change and new high end wipers
These guys are on it! Just pull in and ask, I have seen a woman show up needed a blinker fixed. Boss had a guy on it right then and there. Knowing them, probably didn't even charge her. I brought my RV there for an AC issue, expecting to have to leave it, they rolled out the AC machine and went right too work. Steve runs a tight shop, knows his stuff, and it won't bust your wallet.
I have gotten both of my vehicles worked on through this company, and they have always been amazing and pleasent to deal with. Customer service was very polite and informative. The do get busy because they are highly recommend but they are worth the small wait time to get seen.
This company is second to none !!! That dude Steven might be the most honest person I've ever spoken to - If I were local I'd find reasons to take my car there
We went on a busy Saturday with two cars, short notice that we needed oil changes and tire rotations. Owner Steven was very accommodating to our situation and had both cars done in no time. We drive from Tucson to have our cars serviced at this location because we know we are getting great quality service.
Ask for Mike--he was very kind, helpful, and honest. Great price on tires and excellent customer service from Mike. Will be a return customer.
Awesome people to work with. Great prices also. Will definitely keep bringing my vehicle here for maintenance. Keep up the good work.
I have a 1998 Ford Taurus, 1.500.000mi. I got the car Serviced. There were parts that needed replacing and leaking fluids. "Radiator and Power Steering" The work was done. I was more than just satisfied. Because I am back on the road in a timely manner. Thanks
Excellent customer service!!! Very accommodating and efficient! My husband's car suddenly needed an alternator and our preferred mechanic shop was so busy we had to be scheduled for the weekend or the following week for it to be fixed. Not only did this place fix it for us the same day but they also out-did our go-to location as far as pricing and they fixed it within an hour and a half (if that) AND got my husband back on the road in enough time for him to still have his full lunch hour. My brother is a loyal customer here as well and swears by them. I was not disappointed

The Best Skiing Destinations in the World
3 of the World’s Greatest Winter Sport Destinations
Who’s Ready for Some Powder?
The sound of the first carve through fresh powder is the anthem of all winter sports enthusiasts. Here are three of the world’s best places to experience that powder you’ve been craving all year. Breckenridge, Colorado John Denver’s anthem “Rocky Mountain High” is about the freedom he felt here. Where there are great mountains, there’s even better snow. The ski resort boasts five peaks, 187 trails, 34 lifts, four terrain parks, and a renowned cross-country trail. After a day on the slopes, head into the town of Breckenridge for dining and activities that ditch the glitz and glamour of Vail or Aspen and take you straight to the heart of fun. Whistler, British Columbia, Canada
that captivates the senses. When you see the mountains of British Columbia, you’ll understand why they hosted the 2010 Winter Olympics. The location’s beauty is only part of your stimulating experience, because every curve of fresh powder makes your pupils dilate. Once you’re done flying down the hill where Bode Miller took the bronze, head over to the winter wonderland of the old Olympic Village for a cozy night in a picturesque town. St. Anton, Austria If you want a great location for next year’s Christmas card photo, there’s no better place than the Tyrolean Alps. Nestled in a valley between perfectly molded mountains, the Austrian landscape provides a beautiful backdrop for your winter excursions. The densely wooded areas and the bright reflection of the snow frame the vibrant town that’s just waiting to be explored. When you’re ready for world-class runs, hop in one of the 11 gondolas and zip down the hills that hosted the 2001 Alpine World Ski Championships.
A destination that looks like a cross between Nordic paradise and Olympic- level runs, Whistler is filled with true magic, winter activities, and a town

About Christmas Records Trust
A Very Special Christmas was founded by legendary record producer Jimmy Iovine, his then-wife Vicki and Bobby Shriver, son of Special Olympics Founder Eunice Shriver. Originally conceived as a way to pay tribute to Iovine’s late father, the idea quickly evolved to include Special Olympics athletes as the beneficiaries.
Since then, ten more A Very Special Christmas albums have been released. In 1997, the Christmas Records Trust was established to manage and distribute assets generated by A Very Special Christmas sales. The Trust, overseen by Chairman Joseph Hakim and Trustees Vicki Iovine, Ossie Kilkenny, Brian Philips, and Bobby Shriver, generated over 3 million dollars in direct support Special Olympics Programs and athletes in 2013.

Mixed emotions as the Abilene Wylie softball season ends in first round
SNYDER — A season full of the unknown, along with twists and turns along the way, ended for the Wylie softball team Friday night here at Cates Field.
As the final out was made in the 4-3 loss to Vernon in Game 2 of the Region I-4A bi-district playoff series it finished the careers of two seniors, but also signaled the start of a hopeful offseason.

Before the year started, the Lady Bulldogs (13-13-1) were without key returning players. Then, early in the year a serious injury to junior Madison Owen further altered the lineup. Wylie for several games was without sophomore Bailey Buck, who played third, first and pitched.
Through it all, the team pushed on. Much of that was due to the leadership of senior outfielder Shelby Russell and manager Mikey Levieux.
"Shelby Russell and Mikey, our manager, they're two major reasons why this season was amazing," Collier said. "I think that's where the heartbreak comes from, these girls, I've never had a team that was this close-knit, that they all worked hard. I can't say there wasn't a girl on this roster who didn't bust her butt every day and, as a coach, that's a dream come true.
"I give it to Shelby and Mikey for leading the way they did. This was a fun season, we're just sad to see it end."
On most days, the lineup consisted of six new starters and one returning player, Halle Arbilera, was in a new position. Arbilera was moving from outfield to shortstop and then moved to second base with the injury to Owen. Freshman catcher Minely Avila also played third base, sophomore Keetyn Davis played third, first and in the outfield, while freshman shortstop Kylie Barnes also played some first base.
By the end of the year, freshmen Courtney House and Kaylin Samulde had played left field with Lilly New, center, and Russell in right field holding down their spots all year. Molly Mason spent some time behind the plate and Kaylee Beard, both sophomores, was in the lineup at designated player.
Not to mention sophomore Kaylee Philipp, who was tasked with handling almost all of the pitching duties after getting limited time in the circle last year.
“It was amazing, as many new (players) as we had and with injuries it was a rollercoaster of a season,” Collier said. “I love how they knew, ‘I’m going to step up. This is where coach needs me.’ They did it. There were some that played half a season in one spot and in working through some things and found out, ‘That’s a better fit for her.’ I’m just proud they did what was asked of them. They may not have liked it, but they never showed it.”
In Game 1 of the series, the Lady Bulldogs showed some of their youth and inexperience losing 4-0. But in the second game, they started to settle in. Wylie pulled within one run twice, but never was able to tie or take a lead after Vernon scored in the bottom of the first.
Against a Vernon team that won the Region I-4A championship and went to the state tournament last year, that was just another thing to overcome.
“You could tell a difference, I think that does help you,” Collier said. “You could tell, Game 1 they had been there. They were calm, cool, knew what it took. I just loved how we settled down, all sides of the ball, defensively, Kaylee settled down on the mound and relaxed and made some adjustments. Just something to build on, definitely something to build on.”
The build will come as the Lady Bulldogs make the jump to Class 5A. Part of the nondistrict schedule this year was to help prepare for the challenges and next year will be no different.
“It makes me look forward to, when I do my schedule next year, those tough opponents we played this year that’s something we’re going to do to push them,” Collier said. “I love how they’re hungry. At the end of district, our hashtag was ‘stay hungry’ and we were. I can see how they’re still hungry, they’re not satisfied with this.
"Yes, a better team beat us (Friday), they have that experience and all that. I just love the little fire that’s starting in them.”
Though there are plenty of reasons to be excited about the future of Wylie softball, the end of 2018 season was tough.
“I’m excited that we’ll get this bulk back,” Collier said. “I just wish we could have gone a little longer with our two seniors. That says a lot when your manager makes that much of a difference along with your one senior (player). I’m just proud of them for coming into our program, making that commitment and keeping it. That says a lot, they’re going to be great wherever they go.”

Gayle King, the host of CBS Mornings, interrogated Vice President Kamala Harris this past Wednesday morning on whether or not the United States was ever planning on sending any physical troops over to Ukraine.
The interview took place in the wake of President Joe Biden’s first formal State of the Union Address, in which he stated over and over that the White House would hold to its choice to stand by the other North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) members in their support of and sending aid to Ukraine but would never plan on sending any actual troops into the country to repel the currently happening full-scale Russian invasion.
Biden did leave a small out in stating that American troops could be mobilized out to Europe only if President Vladimir Putin tried to stretch his invasion goals to move past the borders of Ukraine and into any member nation of NATO, saying, “Let me be clear, our forces are not engaged and will not engage in conflict with Russian forces in Ukraine. Our forces are not going to Europe to fight in Ukraine, but to defend our NATO Allies – in the event that Putin decides to keep moving west.”
King pressed Harris on what it could take to force Biden to change his mind on the pledge he made to not send any American troops into Ukraine, but Harris refused to answer in any way that deviated from the language directly used by the president.
“I hear you on that, but those images are heartbreaking to watch. We see innocent civilians being killed, we see children being killed, and the administration has made it clear there will be no boots on the ground,” questioned King. “What will it take? Will anything change that? Will we stand by and watch innocent people continue to be killed here?”
“Well, Gail, you’re absolutely right. It’s heart-wrenching. It’s heartbreaking. The image of a missile that fell struck just right next to a children’s playground. The Ukrainians who are, as civilians, taking up defense of their nation out of pride and also an understanding of what is at stake in terms of their vitality and their independence. So it is heart-wrenching, to be sure,” answered Harris.
However, the Vice Preisdent went on to reiterate the administrations current position, adding, “But I will tell you, the president is clear. We are clear. We are not going to put U.S. troops in Ukraine to fight the Russians, not on the ground and not in the air. But we are going to continue working with our allies to one, defend every inch of territory as it relates to NATO territory. But also, we will continue to do with the billions of dollars of humanitarian, security, and military assistance that we have been providing Ukraine. There is so much at stake, and each day we reevaluate and do more to make sure that we are supporting the Ukrainian people.”
“And President Zelensky, who I met with just about a week ago in Munich. He has shown extraordinary courage,” concluded the Vice President. “And in this moment, I think he has been an inspiration to all of us.”

How Do Virtual Private Servers Work?
If you are managing a heavy resource-demanding web site with an ever-growing number of visitors, page views and file downloads, but cannot afford a dedicated hosting server solution to cope with the increased load, then have a look at our cost-effective virtual private server.
The Virtual Private Servers Hosting Service Described
1 GB RAM
30 GB Storage
2 GB RAM
50 GB Storage
A VPS (Virtual Private Server) ensures an insulated shared hosting environment whereby the entire amount of CPU, RAM memory, hard disk storage space and web traffic resources is allotted to you exclusively – as if you had a dedicated server hosting account.
When you order your virtual private server from Pro Host Z, you are given the option to pick between two state-of-the-art data centers – Steadfast in Chicago, United States, & Pulsant in London, UK, and we recommend you to choose the one nearest to your location, so that you and your web site's guests can be served quicker.
With Pro Host Z's virtual private hosting servers, you can select an Operating System and install your own software configurations (you obtain full root access). What's more, you can reboot your private virtual web server at any particular moment, keep track of the resource usage and check your traffic stats in real time. You can select between KVM & OpenVZ VPS hosting packages, and if you need support managing your Virtual Private Server, you can try the additional administration services offered by us.
Pro Host Z Virtual Private Servers – A Web Hosting Solution Optimized for Your Demands
For the sake of clients owning data-loaded sites, at Pro Host Z we provide the Memcached distributed memory caching system and the Varnish Cache web application accelerator, which will enormously increase the loading speed of your web site and lower the server load. It's good to point out that Pro Host Z's virtual private servers offer PostgreSQL, InnoDB and NodeJS support, so power users can find all the flexibility and high-performance tools they require.

Is it Legal Spearfishing in Egypt?
No, spearfishing is not allowed in Egypt. The activity is banned in the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, the River Nile, and more. The government banned spearfishing to protect marine life diversity. For the past, the number of aquatic resources has declined. With the implementation of strict laws, the situation has alleviated.
Alternative Water Activities in Egypt
Good news! Egypt allows for other breathtaking water activities. These include snorkeling and diving. Where are the locations to explore this 2020? Well, the number of destinations is quite overwhelming.
Alexandria is a perfect start. There are bright corals, fishes, and other creatures you can witness. For your next day, enjoy the remains of Cleopatra’s palace, Napoleonic Battle of the Nile, and other historical attractions.
Another dive site in the Red Sea is The Brothers. They are home to big fish like sharks, leveling up your travel experience. The corals are also incredible. Other popular options include Dahab, El Gouna, El Quseir, Hurghada, Marsa Alam, Safaga, St John’s and the Deep South, Sharm El Sheikh, and more.
Best Spearfishing Locations around the Globe
Where can you engage in spearfishing activities without breaking the laws? There’s a multitude of options to pick. Some of them are listed below:
- Kailua-Kona in Hawaii
Hawaii is perfectly suited for any underwater hunting adventures like spearfishing. More than the jaw-dropping beaches, the locale has become popular for the exciting variety of fish.
For beginners, it’s hard to learn the Hawaiian sling. But Kailua-Kona is good to go. There are trusted experts you can count on. There is state-of-the-art equipment to take advantage of, too.
Kailua-Kona is home to colorful reefs where you can find diverse marine life. Popular options include Bluespotted Grouper, Giant Trevally, and Blacktail Snapper. If you want to take a new challenge, Mahi-Mahi and Wahoo will level up your experience.
- The Azores in Portugal
The Azores has been a spearfishing spot for many spearos. But its popularity skyrocketed when spear fisherman Paulo Alfonso caught a 240 lb. Bigeye Tuna and set a world record. Today, anglers from different corners of the globe flock in the Azores. The place provides countless species to catch, including Mahis, large Amberjacks, odd Marlin, Barracudas, Tuna, Yellowfin, Albacore Tuna, and Giant Blueye.
- San Diego in California
Called as America’s Finest City, San Diego is also one of the largest fisheries in the US. It offers a range of big species that you can find all year round. For beginners, the inshore reefs and Mission Bay Jetty should be your top destination. More than the Calico Bass and Spiny Lobster, you can find a great number of Sheepshead, Halibut, Seabass, Yellowtail Amberjack, Bluefin Tuna, Yellowfin, and sharks.
Other spearfishing locations include the Krabi of Thailand, Cozumel of Mexico, Key West of Florida, Bali, Japan, The Florida Keys, Cape Verde in Africa, North Carolina, Block Island, and more.
Spearfishing Tips for Beginners
Have you ever tried spearfishing? How’s the experience? It’s addicting, isn’t it? The adrenaline rush is intense as you uncover a range of underwater attractions. Of course, you engage in spearfishing adventure to capture your target. But you might go home without a fresh catch. Or, you might encounter an accident or suffer from an injury. It’s all normal for a beginner and even advanced spearos.
To improve your skills and promote safety during a spearfishing activity, here are experts-recommended tips you should bear in mind:
- Your Safety Should Be a Top Priority
Spearfishing can be fun. But the dangers are greater than you have ever imagined. You might get tangled in fishing nets. You might encounter dangerous sea creatures, too. For your safety and convenience, it’s ideal for diving with a skilled buddy. Spearfishing causes shallow water blackouts. This happens when the brain does not receive enough oxygen. Anglers only have 2 minutes to take action before brain damage occurs. So, spearfishing with skilled spearos is advisable.
- Use Sturdy and Reliable Dive Knife
Dive knives can play a critical role in maintaining safety and effective fishing. When you’re trapped in the net, you can free yourself from the ropes and other spearfishing materials. So, use a durable and reliable knife.
- Research Your Chosen Spearfishing Location
There are many destinations where you can participate in spearfishing adventures. For beginners, it’s important to research before diving into the water. Is a spot known for rough waters and tough terrain? Therefore, choose the location that best suits your skills as an angler.
- Improve Your Spearfishing Skills
Spearfishing is a skill that does not happen overnight. It is a life-long process that requires extra effort and time to master. Of course, self-discovery learning is not enough to unleash your hidden capabilities. It’s crucial to find a mentor or a skilled friend.
- Using a Pole Spear is a Great Start
Spearguns are a go-to option for spearfishing enthusiasts. However, it is tricky to use for beginners. Use a pole spear instead of learning the art of spearfishing. Aside from the convenience, the tool is inexpensive. Hunting with the tool is an opportunity to learn how to move in the water. That’s not all! You will also understand other fundamentals.
Most importantly, spend time studying specific laws in your chosen spearfishing location. HAPPY HUNTING!

RESEALS OF PROBATE OR ADMINISTRATION
When a Grant of Probate (or a Grant of Letters of Administration) is obtained in another Australian State or Territory, it is sometimes necessary to have that Grant “resealed” in Tasmania.
A Grant made overseas may also need to be resealed in Tasmania.
The requirements of the Administration & Probate Act 1935 (Tasmania), the Probate Rules 1936 (Tasmania) and the procedures of the Probate Registry of the Supreme Court of Tasmania must be satisfied to obtain a reseal.
Where an estate has assets located in an overseas jurisdiction, we have the experience and contacts to obtain the necessary reseal or other probate/succession law procedure in that jurisdiction, utilising our network of expert local agents. Some examples of the countries in which we have done so in recent years include the United Kingdom, South Africa, and Greece.
In many cases where a reseal is required, those administering the estate will be based outside of Tasmania. We provide a full range of Estate Administration services in those circumstances, so that the Tasmanian aspects of the estate can be properly finalised in accordance with Tasmanian law and practice.
For lawyers outside Tasmania, the benefit of using our services as agent include that our Estate & Trust Administration lawyers are experts in what they do, communicate in a timely and effective way when working with colleagues, and regularly provide agency services to other lawyers with proven results.

Nothing worked right so Mamoulian left and Otto came in. he scraped everything Mamoulian did which did not bode well with the former director. Cue the cats hissing at each other. By the way, the musical score became a major hit and the painting is a photograph enhanced by paint strokes.
This is for you Stephen:)

Michael caine gave one of his best performances.

I recently received a fake cashier’s check for $130,000.
The check was supposed to pay the amounts due to a client under his severance agreement. It turned out the client, the entire client relationship and all the communications I received were fraudulent and part of an elaborate scam, presumably designed to get me to deposit the fake cashier’s check and send my good hard-earned money to the scammers. I never deposited the check and thus I am not out the money, but I wanted to publish all the details to make sure others are forewarned about how sophisticated scammers have become.
First is a link to all of the emails I exchanged with the fake client. I often receive clients through the internet, but generally I have at least one phone call with them before I am engaged. RED FLAG NUMBER ONE is that I never spoke to this client. You will also note that the fake client wanted a contingency relationship rather than to pay an hourly fee, this didn’t make sense as I didn’t expect to spend a lot of time resolving the case, so why would he want to pay me 15% of a recovery. RED FLAG NUMBER TWO is that anything that is too good to be true likely is.
One of the reasons that I took the engagement is that the case looked like a slam dunk. The scammers had put together, letters, emails and a real severance agreement that made a very strong case for payment. Here are the backup documents the scammers sent before I took the case. I also looked up the alleged employer and it was a very big company, so the whole story still seemed pretty plausible at this point.
RED FLAG NUMBER THREE happened almost as soon as I had taken the case. I received an email from the employer stating they knew I had been engaged and they would send the payment right way. This was strange because I had expected to send letters and emails and to have phone calls to resolve the matter. This had happened far too easily and quickly, but again it was not impossible. They even had a real looking email address, so that wasn’t a particular red flag.
Only two days later my office actually received a FEDEX with a check for $130,000. The FEDEX looked like it was from San Jose, California, but when I checked the tracking it had been sent from Upton Connecticut, this was strange and definitely RED FLAG NUMBER FOUR.
Enclosed in the FEDEX was a transmittal letter which looked normal enough. Although I had sent an LinkedIn message to the author, I hadn’t received a response, so I looked up the real number for the Company online (instead of the number provided) and I called the sender to ask if they had really sent the check and the letter. I left messages and called 3 different people including the AP clerk asking for someone to get back to me. RED FLAG NUMBER FIVE was that the phone number of the letter didn’t match with want I found online.
The check itself was RED FLAG NUMBER SIX. The check is printed on real check stock with watermarks and everything looks good including the signatures, but there is one oddity. The logo on the check is for HSBC bank, but the named bank is Citibank. I checked the routing number and it was a Citibank routing number on the East Coast, but this was all just too off at this point.
I then received a call back from the real CFO of the company. He said I was the 13th Lawyer to call him with the same scam, that it started a couple weeks ago, and I was hopefully at the tail end. He said it was all definitely faked. I then took the check to Citibank and verified it was indeed a fake check.
Although I didn’t get that far, the next step would have been for me to send money to my client based on an invalid cashier’s check. Although It didn’t happen, I would have been responsible for the over $110,000 payment back to my bank, if I had sent the money when the Cashier’s check came back as a fake. It doesn’t matter that it was a fraud, my Bank would have looked to me to make good two weeks later when the check came back as fraudulent.
If there is a lesson to be learned, it is that you need to follow your instincts and have good procedures that you don’t break. When a client won’t call you back, don’t continue in the relationship, and NEVER EVER SEND MONEY BASED ON A CASHIER’S CHECK – unless funds are actually wired to your account, they likely aren’t really there.

As I said previously, in March (in New York Timeline (1913)), I’m totally fascinated by Rudolph Valentino’s first years in the USA; particularly those spent in and around New York from 1913 to 1917. Forty two or so months crammed with incident; six months of which are, apparently, an impenetrable void. This month, June, I look in some detail at 1914 — one of his most difficult years. Anyway, here is: New York Timeline (1914).
For Marchese Guglielmi the first few months of 1914 are, for-want-of-a-better-phrase, a Social Whirl. Determined to put behind him his miserable Festive Period, he plunges into the dance-mad city of New York. His accommodation, Giolito’s, at 108-110 W. 49th St., is situated just east of Broadway, ten blocks south of Central Park, ten or so more north west, of the gleaming and glistening, newly-opened Grand Central Station, and a quick walk away from several exciting afternoon and evening establishments. At which, by all accounts, he becomes a regular.
He calls on his fellow S. S. Cleveland passenger, Miss Eleanor Post, and they go riding in Central Park at least once. He also pays a visit and introduces himself (with a letter of introduction), to Social Butterfly, Schuyler L. Parsons Jr.; who invites him to remain for dinner and then join the various guests, when they go out to dance until the early hours.
Miss Post had, along with Marion Herrion, been the young woman who’d enjoyed many hours dancing the latest dances, with Rodolfo Guglielmi, in the Second Class dining room. (Their friendship didn’t last.) Mr. Parsons, meanwhile, was a person whose name appeared in the press with alarming regularity, as an attendee, of dinner and theatre parties, dance parties and other exclusive society events. It’s interesting that he featured in an amateur film, The Flame of Kapur (1916), as a villain, not dissimilar to the sort played by Valentino a few years later. (He was to be a friend of Rudy’s right to the end.)
Rodolfo continues to socialise hopeful it’ll lead to something. He reacquaints himself with three Paris friends: brothers Count Otto and Count Alex. von Salm-Hoogstraeten, and their friend, Georges/George T. Aranyi. The trio are in the US to play tennis, and Rodolfo no doubt watches them, at the National Indoor Championship Tournament, at the Seventh Regiment Armoury, 643 Park Avenue, in mid. February. Afterwards, in the evenings, the quartet enjoy nights out.
Austrians, Otto and Alex., and Frenchman George, too, were seemingly all a little older than their Italian playmate. (Otto was born in 1886 and Alex. (who would perish during WW1) in 1890.) So being in their company would’ve been something of an education for someone not yet 19. I personally don’t believe that the Salms taught Valentino to tango at the Central Park Zoo, as his female fellow passengers on the Cleveland said he already knew it. However, there’s no doubt they taught him other things, and that he was a willing Pupil.
The addiction of New Yorkers at this time to dancing is clear when we peruse the city’s newspapers and see how often it’s mentioned. At the start of the month a report states that the Pope has neither banned the Tango nor endorsed La Furlana. A review, days later, of The Laughing Husband, an operetta at the Knickerbocker Theatre, reveals how “Graceful Steps [Of] A New Sort” had been added to the U. S. adaptation, and that the chorus did “The Tango”. (You can listen to a medley here.) On the 9th, we see a story about 2,000 waiters, trotting, tangoing, dipping, maxixeing, and hesitating, at the Manhattan Waiters’ Association Annual Ball. (In many instances with each other.) On the 14th, we view fourteen recent or expected social gatherings, of which seven included dancing. The 17th saw the Castles, Vernon and Irene, explaining to Marguerite Mooers Marshall, a columnist, how to dance the Half and Half. And at the close of February, we learn that the Arabian Nights Ball, on the 26th, at the Folies Marigny, had begun at midnight, and had been: “… JUST ONE DANCE AFTER ANOTHER.”
Thanks to high living and nightly shenanigans, with the Salms, Aranyi, and with others, Rodolfo’s funds are dwindling; and as he commences the month, he begins to appreciate he’s unable to continue in the same fashion as in January and February. In order to save money he quits his quarters at Giolito’s, and moves to less expensive, unknown, Uptown rooms.
Knowing he’ll soon have to find employment, he’s also eager to seriously improve his basic English. He understands that what he learned at Nervi won’t be sufficient for him to be able to work, and he’ll be unable to improve it, while he’s surrounded by fellow Italians.
His departure from Giolito’s isn’t fixed in stone and it could easily have occurred in February. The reason being, that the position he secured as a Gardener (thanks to a letter of introduction (from his older brother Alberto), to outgoing Commissioner of Immigration, William Williams), commenced after the snow had melted. As I only saw bad snow reported locally in early March, and not later, we have to accept the possibility he was out of his initial accommodation earlier than was previously thought. Maybe even by the middle of February.
After some work, which included planting rhododendrons (which are still there and are referred to as ‘Rudy’s Rhodos’), his employment with Mr. Bliss, at his estate, at Brookville, outside the city on Long Island, abruptly ends, after he crashes a borrowed motorcycle. It’s also an issue that the return of Mrs. Bliss, from Europe, has ended plans for an Italian garden. Rodolfo himself isn’t enjoying being so far from Manhattan. And isn’t too pleased to be eating his meals with the other servants.
Cornelius N. Bliss Jr., a kind-hearted type, then President of the New York Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, provides him with a letter of introduction, to the New York City Parks Commissioner, Louis F. La Roche. He also, amazingly, provides him with a small weekly allowance so that he can manage in the short term.
Rudy returns to Manhattan, able, just about, to manage on his recent earnings, and his allowance from Bliss. Despite his worsening situation, it seems, from time-to-time, that he’s still able to enjoy the cafes and restaurants.
Rodolfo Guglielmi doesn’t grasp that Mr. and Mrs. Bliss are two people who, in time, could’ve seriously helped him with a career as a Landscape Gardener. However, he did understand he was a million miles from entering, or being accepted in, Society. Painfully aware. And this was something of a problem for him.
After resettling back in the city, sometime in May, Rodolfo secures a less pleasant position as an Apprentice Park Gardener. He works the majority of the month. But eventually discovers that he’s unable to continue working, as the apprenticeship exam is open only to American citizens.
By now Cornelius N. Bliss Jr.’s small allowance has probably ceased. The little he’s earned in May is disappearing. And he searches for some other kind of employment.
It’s probably in May and June that he goes to the Waldorf-Astoria, one of the great New York hotels, to write on the their fine stationery to his mother (to reassure her that he’s alright and is doing well). That he eventually revealed this to his family, is known, thanks to his older brother, Alberto, mentioning it in a lengthy interview in 1977.
He manages to secure a position as a Bank Teller. However, due to poor English, or an inability to calculate quickly enough, or both, he loses this job. And is once again forced to look for another vacancy.
It’s now, in mid. June, that he catches the eye of ‘Dickie’ Warner – true name Richard H. Warner – a blonde, blue-eyed man in his late twenties, who’s as much of a Social Moth as Schuyler L. Parsons Jr.. Apparently, Dickie sees him: “… seated at the opposite side of the dancing space in company of several friends.” After a formal introduction they converse. And days later he invites him to dinner on the roof of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. On that warm evening, they afterwards sit drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes, and Rodolfo opens his heart to the near stranger. Telling him he’s a foreigner in a foreign land. Isn’t getting anywhere in his profession. And is: “… too proud to seek aid from his family.” Dickie’s sympathetic and tells Rudy he can move into his apartment with him until things improve. Which, the very next day, he does. Warner helping him to pack his possessions at his “anything but cheerful” lodgings. Thus commences a quite lengthy and comfortable stay, at Dickie Warner’s gorgeously decorated two room studio, at 78 West 55th Street. Rudy wakes late each day; lounges about in pyjamas in Warner’s tulip wood bed; plays with the cat, Prunella; and talks on the telephone to his girlfriends. His host is irritated by his poor English but doesn’t mind his singing. (The song that he sings most often is Mamma Mia.)
Warner’s detailed – too detailed to be fabricated – account, which was published in the early Twenties, in a piece entitled, Before They Were Famous, in SCREENLAND, reveals much about Rudy half way through 1914. He continues to frequent some of the places he enjoyed earlier that year as and when he can. Has friends. And is still able to dress and present himself well. Warner remembered: “… distinctly, his dress suit, also the handiwork of a tailor in Taranto.” This pretty much proves false, the claim that Frank A. Mennillo took him to his New York tailor, to kit him out in more suitable, American garb. He was in May and June still wearing all of the garments he’d carried with him at the end of the previous year.
So far he’s moved from Giolitos, to Uptown, then out to Long Island, then back to Manhattan. (He also appears to have been in Brooklyn at some point in order to be able to save money.) Living with Dickie facilitates indolence. For the time being, at least, he seems in no hurry to do anything, except laze, pet Prunella, and speak for hours on the telephone. According to his host a stay of a few days stretches to many weeks. In my estimation at least a month to six weeks.
Rudy continues to live with Dickie. At some point the pair enjoy a trip to Long Beach; for so long, that Warner is forced to wire a friend in the city, and get them to climb through a window, in order to feed the cat.
At the end of the month World War One breaks out in Europe. However, as neither Italy nor America are initially involved, it doesn’t yet affect Rodolfo Guglielmi, or, his family.
After six or so weeks his stay with Warner ends. Where he goes next isn’t too clear. Yet it’s certain about now is when things begin to get very tough. For the next eight weeks he goes from poorly-paid job to poorly-paid job. He washes dishes, cleans automobiles, and polishes brass; anything that will give him enough money to be able to eat and pay for a place to sleep.
This is a period where he’ll move about even more frequently, staying a week here, then a week there. Always moving. He’s forced to pawn his belongings. What’s left is kept by a Landlady that he’d been unable to pay. In later years, he told Norma Talmadge a story about walking five miles to City Hall, in order to find work, and, after failing to, how he’d bought a “bologna sandwich” with his very last ten cents, before walking the five miles back. The fact Norma recalled such a story, in 1938, again shows he couldn’t possibly have had a Godfather during this time.
Nineteen-year-old Rodolfo continues to suffer. He eats at one, perhaps all, of the Horn & Hardart Co. Automats, on Broadway, Sixth Avenue and West 42nd St. And he sleeps at the downbeat, Mills Hotel, which charges 12 cents per night. When he can’t even afford that he doesn’t eat and sleeps on a bench in Central Park. (He also sleeps under the shrubbery and in all-night cinemas.)
There’s absolutely no evidence nineteen-year-old Rudolph Valentino was forced to commit any crime in order to survive; but we must consider the possibility he may have had no choice. It’s interesting, that in a letter home, he feels that any work is better than a life of crime. And it’s in this letter, according to the family, that he reveals he’d come very close to compromising his honour. So if he didn’t commit a crime it was certainly on his mind. The disappearance of the contents of his police file, decades ago, doesn’t allow us to be sure one way or the other. In a report, in The New-York Tribune, in 1910, vagrants were only arrested if they were considered to be a ‘Cadet’ — in-other-words, a person learning to be a street criminal. If they were, they were discharged, sent to a work house, or, fined. If Rudy slept on a park bench, he would simply be moved along; as Anthony Dexter was, as Valentino, in Valentino (1951). (A rare instance of accuracy in an otherwise largely inaccurate film.)
Broke and homeless things are so bleak that Rudy contemplates suicide. Then a Mystery Man he meets changes his luck. The person, apparently an Italian, takes him under his wing, shares his food and his bed, talks to him, gives him advice, and perhaps allows his guest to get a wash and to shave. The next day, or soon afterwards, after the suggestion, Rodolfo heads to Maxim’s/Cafe Maxim to speak to the piano player (who’s from Taranto). The piano player suggests talking to the Head Waiter there. When he does, The Head Waiter recalls him from earlier in the year, and offers him work as a dance partner for hire. (To dance with females who aren’t already accompanied by a male.) He accepts and commences that month. There’s no pay, but he can eat for free, keep any tips, and use an upper room, with a Victrola, to give dance instructions on the side.
A different version of Rodolfo’s spell as a dancer, at Cafe Maxim, is found in the owner, Julius Keller’s, 1939 memoir, Inns and Outs. Keller claims that he himself hired him. And that Rudy had been washing cars at a nearby garage. Keller says that he found the young man to be “dark and romantic in appearance”. Whether it was Keller’s or another proprietor’s innovation isn’t clear. But dance partners for hire were far from unique to Maxim’s. They were very much looked down upon at the time as it was considered to be an unsuitable profession for a Real Man.
Maxim’s was, along with Sherry’s, Delmonico’s, Luchow’s, Churchill’s, Rectors, Murray’s, and a few other venues, a restaurant that allowed patrons to dance. Their adverts in September declared that it was the “COOLEST and BEST VENTILATED DINING ROOM in TOWN”. That luncheon was just 60c. That dancing was from noon to close. And the cabaret was after 6:30 p. m.
Dark, romantic Rodolfo Guglielmi swiftly enhances his natural ability, and is an instant success with patrons. He returns to being a Marchese; but, perhaps due to the French atmosphere of the establishment, tells customers he’s a Marquis. By now he has many regular female dance partners. And these varied ladies generously tip him and shower him with small gifts.
In the third or fourth week of the month, Bonnie Glass (“the most original young person in the [dancing] profession”), and her former dance partner, Clifton Webb, arrive at Cafe Maxim and take a table. Glass has asked Webb to assist her in searching for a talented new partner, and they soon notice: “… a remarkably handsome, dark young man named Rudolph.” Bonnie is impressed by his tango and, on the spot, offers him the job. He tells her frankly that he doesn’t have the money to pay for the clothing required. And she tells him that she’ll cover the cost.
In Clifton Webb’s posthumously published autobiography, Sitting Pretty: the Life and Times of Clifton Webb, 2011, the then very notable Bonnie Glass had recently returned from Chicago. Checking her engagements in late 1914 I saw this to be the case. (She’d danced in Chicago recently with Al. Davis.) And so I trust both Clifton Webb’s memory and his story. It seems Bonnie had a partner – George Richmond – but he was temporary. And, as she had plans for 1915, that included re-opening the grille of Cafe Boulevard, at Broadway and 41st Street, as Cafe Montmartre, she required somebody reliable who’d be available nightly. (For me this settles once and for all the question of how they met and came to be a successful Act.)
It’s easy to imagine Rudy’s delight in being singled out by Bonnie and Clifton after they’d left and it all began to sink in. In no-time-at-all he would be able to quit the establishment and leave behind him, perhaps forever, the life of a Taxi Dancer — a life he found more than a little distasteful.
During the first two weeks of the month Rodolfo rehearses with Bonnie in the mornings and continues to work as a hired dancer, at Maxim’s, in the afternoons and evenings. He likewise continues to be the favourite of several ladies (as mentioned by Keller in Inns and Outs). And utilises the upper room, with the Victrola, to provide private instruction for a fee.
Mid. December, he dances for the first time with Glass, at Rector’s, in front of their “stage setting”, for an elegant New York audience seated amidst “fronded palms”. He’ll continue to do so for the rest of the month. And, though he fails to be credited at this point in any adverts, he’s buoyed by the realisation that bigger things lie ahead of him in 1915. In only a matter of months he’s turned his life completely around. This year, the Festive Period will not be the lonely, upsetting affair it was twelve months before.
Thank you so much for reading this post. As always, the sources are available to anyone who contacts me, if they’re not already embedded into the text, or added as an image. This latest timeline will be followed by others looking at the years 1915 to 1917. And I’ve planned standalone posts for his 1916 arrest and also the missing half year. See you all in July!
