I always understand the importance of pushing myself and breaking out of my comfort zone, but now I can truly say that I did just that in a very extreme way. This entire trip has not only involved me being able to fulfill my lifelong dream of exploring the world, but it has also forced me to push myself both mentally and physically in ways I never imagined possible. And because of that, all of the fears and nerves (and possible full mental breakdown) were completely worth it. </s> Escape from Warsaw
I’!  I really should have said “uh, oh” then and there. But I didn’t. I guess I’m a slow learner.
In Escape from Warsaw, we first meet Joseph. He’s a prisoner to the Nazis, but he knows he must escape quickly and find his family again. After laying careful plans, he makes an attempt—and gets away safely. But the Nazis are on his trail, and he must find a safe hiding place—soon.
Next, there is a particular boy who knows just about everything and everyone, and is a wonderful pickpocket. He knows so much he could be an old man—but that’s sad, because he is only a young boy and he never has a chance to be a regular boy who does regular boy things. He is given the charge to try to stay safe and find Joseph’s children.

Markets reform on the card
Article Views: 545
The Securities Exchange Commission of Papua New Guinea is a division within Investment Promotion Authority.
It regulates the capital markets. Business Editor SHIRLEY MAULUDU spoke to executive chairman
CHRISTOPHER HNANGUIE about the capital markets and the commission’s responsibilities.
HNANGUIE: In a nutshell, I assumed the role of the executive chairman of SEC- PNG in August 2017. I have more than 22t, reform and restructuring in 30 countries throughout the Asia-Pacific region when I worked as a macroeconomist for the Asian Development Bank over the past 22 years, from 1995-2017].
With these experiences, I am determined to reform, develop and expand our capital market. We will draw on theAsia whose experiences are more relevant to PNG’s own development and the financial market context.
Q: What are its main roles and functions of the Securities Exchange Commission?
HNANGUIE: The SEC-PNG is an autonomous governmental entity established by the Securities Commission Act 2015. It has three main objectives of capital market regulation and supervision: (i) Protect investors; (ii) ensure the market is fair, efficient and transparent; and (iii) reduce systemic risk.
To achieve these three objectives, SEC-PNG is moving towards adopting mostapital markets regulation and supervision. As a member of IOSCO, SEC-PNG does not need to reinvent the wheel.
HNANGUIE: Before we can discuss anything about securities, it is important to clarify this term because of its misconception with the general public.
The term securities in PNG is commonly mixed-up, confused or misunderstood with security personnel or security firms – those who are responsible for securing and protecting properties. It is hereby clarified that the term securities is a commerce, economics, finance, and investment term which has little relevance to the security and protection of properties.
Securities in our context means any form of financial asset that holds some type of monetary value which can be easily traded. These are financial assets that are liquid (), that can be traded on financial markets; are usually non-physical financi.
There are many types of financial securities. The most common ones are usually in theHNANGUIE: First thing to understand is that all other markets are part of an overall financial market
Within a financial market you can have the capital market, stock market, bond market, commodities market, currency market,
futures market, money markets, etc.
So the financial market is the overall market where all other markets operate, regardless of the maturity of the period in which securities are traded.
A capital market is a market within the financial market that includes the equity/share/stock market and debt/bond market and other venues for trading financial products. These markets all trade financial products or securities, so they form the capital market.
Capital markets are used for trading long-term assets, which normally have a maturity period of more than one year.
A stock market means a place where stocks are tradedA stock exchange means a specific place where the trading is executed, such as POMSOX, NYSE, and so on. In PNG our stock market comprise of one stock exchange (POMSOX).
Ay period
Q: What is the country’s capital market like?
HNANGUIE: There have been discussions about the performance of our capital market: its rapid growth on the back of government reform of our financial sectors, the importance of capital market investing, the above average returns, the availability of easy margin credit, its state of illiquidity, its static performance, the absence of confidence on the part of the investors, why and how and who got us to where the market currently is today.
Other challenges faced by the capital market include: Lack of a champion to lead the reforms in PNG; limited co-ordination among the various financial market authorities (BPNG, SEC-PNG, Treasury/Finance) to assure coherent strategy, policies and efforts; disregard of the relevant laws in place and uncoordinated policy initiatives and pronouncement from these agencies have created uncertainty and market confusion; widespread market perception that the POMSOX, an SRO, is an entity independent
of SEC-PNG authority and oversight and not subject to SEC-PNG rules and regulation; and lack of clarity in the ownership and
governance structure of the POMSOX.
The answers to some of these issues have been traced to the inadequacy of the capacity and capability of our SEC-PNG (in terms of people, systems and technology) to effectively exercise its authority over market operators like POMSOX and other market participants, especially after the market was taking off in the 2000s.
PNG has the opportunity now to learn from the lessons of
others and from our own and emulate the best capital market practices.
To get there, we must ensure that our capital market is open and fair, operating under a transparent, efficient, legal and regulatory framework.
But even a regime comprising good substantive laws and rules, if non-transparent and applied unfairly, unevenly, inefficiently or incompetently will drive investors and financial services providers away.
PNG should create a world-class capital market that is fair, efficient, transparent, innovative and attractive to investors both local and foreign while contributing to have an impact beyond our borders.
Q: Is there a need to regulate PNG’s capital market?
HNANGUIE: If the market is where the basic and fundamental tenets of the capitalist system is, that of supply and demand and willing buyer, willing seller play out, then why not just leave the market participants to their own devices?
The simple answer is, yes, there is a big need to regulate the capital market.
First, because in the capital marketr of securities is not always even.
The power mainly rests with the issuer of the securities who is able to dictate the terms of trade. Hence, there is a need to protect the investor.
And that protection must come from a neutral body to ensure and assure the market is fair and transparent.
Second, as PNG is a part of the modern free-market economy and dependent on a sound capital market for capital mobilisation, there is a need to ensure the market is always there and market failure is as far as practicable prevented or where it occurs at all, the impact is minimised.
Conversely, or unfair, untransparent, incompetent or ineffective enforcement of regulation can and often do impose an unjustified burden on the capital market and inhibit market growth and development.

When it comes to after-market products, put your money on truck owners.
They outspent car owners by an average of $128 per vehicle, says James A. Lang, president of Lang Marketing Resources Inc of Wyckoff, NJ.
"Cars averaged $331 in aftermarket products during 1998 compared to $459 for the typical light truck," he says.
The research and consulting firm's analysis does not include automotive crash parts, sound accessories, audio equipment, tires, wheels and such. Dollar amounts do not include installation.
Between 1993-98 aftermarket product use increased an average of $16 per light vehicle at user-price.
"Light trucks recorded a significant increase in aftermarket product use over this 5-year span, while cars actually declined in current dollar product consumption," says Mr. Lang.
In 1993, the average car sported $341 in aftermarket products, declining to $331 in 1998, about a 3% drop.
In sharp contrast, aftermarket products for light trucks increased from $405 in 1993 to $459 in 1998, about a 13% gain.
Says Mr. Lang, "Light truck owners are voracious consumers of accessories and light trucks generated over half of 1998 accessory dollar volume.
"This trend of greater aftermarket product use by light trucks will continue. With light trucks capturing a growing share of vehicles on U.S. roads, this is a strong positive note for aftermarket product growth over the next several years, especially accessories.
Warranty audits that could result in costly chargebacks are on the rise across the industry.
* Make sure technicians physically verify time spent on the job, especially if manual sheets are still used. Computerized time tickets avoid this problem.
* Supporting documentation for the work should be attached to the RO. This includes sublet invoices, towing slips and rental agreements.
* ROs signed by the customer are mandatory. If work is added after the vehicle is brought in, have the owner sign the RO ticket at the cashier's office upon vehicle delivery.
* Don't use parts not purchased from the factory.
* Technicians' RO notes should be complete and legible and cover all testing and repairs performed. Most computer systems enable technicians' notes to be inserted by the service manager, warranty clerk or the technician himself.
* All warranty work must be approved by the customer, including that arranged after the vehicle is brought in. Notes should show that the customer approved work before it was done.
Childress Buick/Kia in Phoenix has opened a new resale sales center called Childress Automotive.
The new facility, at the Crossroads Shopping Center, will specialize in resale and also offer body shop and maintenance services.
It is believed to be the first call-in auto phone line sponsored by a franchised dealer. Sponsored and staffed by Burt Automotive Network in the Denver market, the "Burt Auto Help Center" offers Colorado consumers 24-hour availability for answers to questions about a range of automotive topics.
Says Burt executive vice-president Lloyd G. Chavez, "We address whatever is on a caller's mind, no subject barred. Where to get the best price on a car we sell or a competitive make, who's the head of General Motors, what year the Ford Thunderbird came out, are side airbags good or bad? You name it."
Mr. Chavez says he'd like the service to enhance Burt's goodwill in the community as a customer-friendly dealership.
A full-time staff of six has been hired to conduct the center, which complements Burt's Internet web site - www.burt.com. The center phone number is 1-877-400-AUTO.
Burt's seven dealerships are concentrated south of Denver in Englewood, CO. The Chevrolet franchise was its first in 1939. Other franchises and their dates of acquisition include Toyota, 1966; Subaru, 1970, Ford, 1993; Kia, 1994 and Buick-Pontiac-GMC and Nissan, 1998.

On Tuesday evening, many illegal Israeli colonizers invaded Palestinian lands in Battir town, west of Bethlehem in the southern occupied West Bank, and installed an outpost.
Local nonviolent activist against the occupation and colonies, Mariam Moammar, said the colonizers invaded the Taff Abdullah area before installing sheds and mobile homes on private Palestinian lands.
Moammar added that the colonizers closed the area to install the outpost on the private Palestinian lands while Israeli soldiers prevented the locals from approaching it.
The colonizers installed the outpost to illegally occupy the lands and expand it by annexing more privately-owned Palestinian lands.
The area witnesses seriously escalating violations by the colonizers and the Israeli soldiers who constantly attack the Palestinians and deny them access to their lands.
The lands in the area are a constant target for illegal Israeli colonialist activities, especially since it is near the illegal Gush Etzion colonialist bloc.
The colonizers have been trying to occupy the entire area for many years by constantly invading them and installing outposts, especially since the Israeli army has been preventing the Palestinians from entering or rehabilitating their land.
Once Israel considers the lands to be “deserted,” after barring their Palestinian owners from entering them, it then uses its “laws” to declare them “state lands,” which also facilitates the illegal takeover by the colonizers.
Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention states: “The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.” It also prohibits the “individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory.”


First stop on the study tour!
A couple weeks ago, we had a "little" gathering at our flat that you may have heard about. Aho has interviewed Michael in the past regarding his work in the US Civil Rights movement, contacted us to let us know she would be travelling through Central Europe this summer with a group of 13 of her students on a 10-day study tour. What started out as an invitation for us to have dinner with them at their hotel, ended up as a huge party at our flat with somewhere around 70 people in attendance -- somehow word does get around!
The party was such a success that we may have to go into business -- based on how this evening went, we would quickly become the most popular first stop on the study tour!


"It was one disaster after another," O'Keeffe said Tuesday evening, as she left her office at town center. "The machines don't work. They sent Ossining ballots to Mamaroneck. Nobody knows what they're doing."

Like I said earlier, Ghost Dog doesn't have any friends and is a recluse. His only friend – whom he calls his "best friend" – is someone who doesn't even speak English, a French ice cream seller played by Isaach de Bankolé (who starred in Casino Royale and played the protagonist in Jarmusch's The Limits of Control). At one point, this man takes out a book about bears and reads from it. This is where an obvious parallel is drawn between the animal's nature and Ghost Dog's. As Ghost Dog, Forest Whitaker is an imposing figure given his appearance and exudes an aura that is usually attributed to Buddhist monks. He remains a likable character despite his eccentricities (don't we all have our own?


Thankful Thursday Ideas
Write down one thing you're thankful for
Give sincere thanks
Repeat gratitude quotes and affirmations
Thankful Thursday Inspiration
About two years ago, I started a gratitude practice called Thankful Thursday. Every week on Thursday, I set aside a few minutes to write in my journal about something in my life for which I'm particularly thankful or appreciative.
The idea stems from the American holiday Te more often you're thankful, the better your mindset will be. And for many people once per week is often enough to become a habit without being so often that it becomes a chore.
I can attest to the impact this simple habit has had on my mindset. It's so powerful that I'll often write in my gratitude journal outside of
There''t even need to do it on Thursday. As long as you'reyou're doing it right.
Here are some of the practices that I and others I've worked with over the years have found helpful.
As James Clear says, "all big things come from small beginnings." Your weekly gratitude practice doesn't need to be anything overcomplicated or onerous—in fact, the easier it is to do, the more likely you'll be to keep it up.
My Thankful Thursday practice started with a simple note on my phone (but you could write yours anywhere that's convenient). I listed the day's date and then wrote a word or two acknowledging the thing for which I am thankful. On the next Thursday, I'd add a new line to the top of the note and do the same thing. That's it! Nothing crazy.
8/8 — Meetings canceled; time to think
8/1 — Family game night
7/25 — Loving wife (wedding anniversary)
7/18 — Friends who care (bday surprise)
7/11 — Amex purchase protection
7/4 — Friends
Maybe not the most insightful notes ever written. But writing them was a start, and the act of doing so forced me to think (however briefly) about something or someone I appreciated over the last 7 days. It might sound simple, but consider the last time you've ever really thought about how much you appreciate what (and who) you have in your life.
When the object of your gratitude is a person, consider reaching out to them and literally you.
The act of giving gratitude is strongly correlated with happiness, and for good reason. Those who give gratitude focus on what they already have, not on what they're missing.
Not only that, expressing gratitude toward other people makes them feel valued and appreciated. Positivity is infectious and it draws people closer to you, strengthening and expanding your circle of friends, thereby improving happiness even more. It's a virtuous cycle.
A great way to work through your thoughts of gratitude and appreciation essentially a longer-form version of the "gratitude list" mentioned above. The journal format gives you more physical and mental spamost appreciate.
If you find yourself with writer's block on a given day, you can help work through that by reading and responding to gratitude journal prompts designed to help (and challenge) your mind to think about gratitude in different ways. Journal prompts are a great way to keep your practice feeling fresh while also uncovering new insights noticed.
I've included an exhaustive list of some of my favorite gratitude journal prompts in the inspiration section below.
In today's always-connected world, it's all too easy to lose sight of your inner values and principles. We are constantly confronted with pressures, temptations, and expectations that cloud our minds and push us away from the people we really want to be.
I've written before about how you can combat this by keeping a personal manifesto that you read on a regular basis. A personal manifesto is basically a list of short affirmations or quotes that remind you who you are and how you want to engage with the world.
In my opinion, there's no better way to keep your mind oriented toward thankfulness and gratitude than regularly revisiting quotes and statements of affirmations in those areas.
Imagine starting your day every Thursday (or even every day) by saying something along the lines of: "I's on its way."
This particular affirmation might not resonate with you, and that's okay. Everyone is motivated in different ways. For affirmations to be effective, it's important to pick one or two that upon first reading resonate deeply with you.
To get you started, I've added a list of some of my favorite quotes and affirmations below. I encourage you to read through each statement and pay attention to how your brain reacts to each one.
If any of them trigger that lightbulb in your head to turn on, you've found a good candidate for your weekly practice.
Thankful Thursdays shift your mindset by turning gratitude into a habit. But habit-building can be hard when you don't know where to start.

The Cathedral Mosque is opening in Moscow after ten years of large-scale reconstruction works. The territory of the mosque has been enlarged 20 times, thus making the Muslim temple in Moscow the largest in Europe.
The opening ceremony, as expected, will be conducted . The mosque was to be opened in May 2016, but then it was decided to accelerate the works to open the temple in time for the 70th anniversary of Victory over fascism.
The mosque was opened in 1904. During the Soviet times, it was the only mosque in Moscow. Restoration began in 2005, when it was dangerous to stay in the building.
Currently, the mosque is capable of housing up to 10,000 people, although many Muslims will still have to pray outside the building, on adjacent streets. There are nearly two million muslims in Moscow and only six mosques.
"I don't know whether there are many other mosques like ours in the world. I have been to many mosques - in the Arab Emirates, in Morocco, in Jerusalem, Egypt, Turkey and so on. Our mosque is very modern, but at the same time it is classic," told TASS, Pravda.Ru reports.
Reportedly, the King of Saudi Arabia, the heads of Qatar, Kuwait, Turkey, Palestine, Jordan, presidentIran and other countries were invited for the opening of the mosque in Moscow.

He suspects the answer is "Not yet," "No," or "What even is life?"
That lack of fulfillment isn't the fault of the individual, or even the company. According to Dignan, it's because we're living with the outdated architecture businesses were built on a hundred years ago: good at delivering to shareholders, but no match for today's demands of transparency, equity, and purpose.
Long before he would become an an entrepreneur, Dignan was your average high school kid, working jobs at Office Depot and the local mall kiosk, experiencing his first brush with the feeling of untapped potential. "[My managers] were only interested in me serving as a cog in the machine," he recalls. Now, as the founder of the organizational transformation firm The Ready, Dignan coaches corporations on how to avoid making the same mistakes.
"I was definitely a micromanager at one point and I found it exhausting. It wasn't sustainable. Even if it did work, it was working in spite of itself rather than because of itself."
A. Every organization has an operating system (OS). An OS is the assumptions, principles, and practices that you put into play. So, the metaphor of "the intersection" is a great example. How do we get two roads to cross without anybody hitting anybody?
The two different operating-system solutions for this example have two different sets of assumptions about people. The lighted intersection with the red, yellow, green light assumes that, generally, people ought not to be trusted, that they need to be told what to do and when to do it, and that we need an elaborate set of signals and controls to manage that behavior. It requires compliance and it does not require a lot of presence of mind. There's this sort of passiveness to the way you participate in a lighted intersection. If the light's red, you pull out your phone, check your email, turn on the radio. You're not present in the space until you're told what to do and then you jump back in.
"It's not easy to buck the incumbent system and move away from the status quo. There are real risks. There are real challenges and some of those challenges are to our very egos and identities. The good news is it is happening."
What we're actually asking leaders to do is trade one kind of control for another, one kind of power for another. In the past, you had control through compliance. In the future, you're going to have control through transparency, social pressure, and responsibility. Does the designer of a roundabout have as much control as the designer of a lighted intersection? I would argue they have more control. They're getting the outcomes they want more often and more consistently.

One in four (27%) UK businesses are considering setting up a corporate self-invested pension plan (SIPP) both as their main pension arrangement and to enable their employees to roll over maturing shares in company share plans, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) most recent pensions survey. Seven per cent have already implemented a corporate SIPP and PwC is advising a number of FTSE100 companies in this area.
98 companies (including 29 FTSE100 organisations) participated in the 4th annual PwC Pensions Survey, the full results of which were released last week.
83% of employers surveyed are concerned about lack of value for the money they are spending on pensions provision. To address this, almost half of the companies (45%) surveyed intend to take into account that different employees at different stages in their lives attach different value to pensions.

issueInternational either Lee Weitman direct at: 604.630.0757 or David Marsh direct at: 604.708.6242 . </s> wo weeks ago, Pearce and Adams persuaded the commission that picks the nominee pool for the redistricting effort to reconsider its choices. The commission will meet Wednesday to revisit its picks.
Adams and Pearce have since taken their complaint to the contested nominees, asking them to make a "difficult" move.
The three are on a short list of 25 namesvetted earlier this month. The commission, by law, must create the pool of potential redistricting commissioners, then send the list to the leaders of the four caucuses at the Legislature. Each leader must pick one name from the list, and the four commissioners choose a fifth redistricting member from the remaining pool to serve as chairman.
Adams and Pearce, as well as the Goldwater Institute, argue that as a judge pro tem for two Indian tribes, Bender has a conflict because he holds a public office. Redistricting commissioners are not allowed to hold public office, but the law that created the system was silent about the role of tribal offices.
Schnepf and Sossaman both serve on irrigation boards, public offices the lawmakers contend disqualify them.
"Since I am one of the Republican nominees and they both oppose my application, it seems futile to continue," Schnepf wrote.
Sossaman submitted his resignation in a letter the appellate court commission received early Tuesday. He did not cite any reason for his withdrawal.
Critics argue that Adams and Pearce are trying to eliminate Bender because they object to his politics, and have included Schnepf and Sossaman in their complaint to make their argument appear nonpartisan. In letters to the appellate-court commission, more than 150 people have urged the commissioners to stick to their guns and not allow Pearce and Adams to control a process designed to minimize legislative influence.
View subscription options </s> Oscar-nominated actor embraces a playfully anarchic side as a musician with a fake head.
Domhnall Gleeson plays Jon, a keyboard player with an abundance of ambition yet a distinct lack of talent who gets caught up in Frank's strange musical journey. Jon learns to deal with the idiosyncrasies of his unpronounceable new band, The Soronprfbs — and Frank's spitfire of a girlfriend (Maggie Gyllenhaal) — while recording an album in a forest cabin. But he also sees in Frank a certain naivete as well as unfettered creativity.
Most filmmakers don't have the chutzpah to hide their Hollywood A-lister star behind a fake head. However, director Lenny Abrahamson feels that Frank lets Fassbender show his skills as a physical comedian who extracts the intriguing and the slightly unnerving amid pelvic thrusts and karate moves.
The Frank character is inspired by Frank Sidebottom, the real-life British cult musician and masked alter ego of the late Chris Sievey (Frank screenwriter Jon Ronson played keyboards in Sidebottom's band in the late 1980s). But other musicians such as singer-songwriter Daniel Johnston and the late Captain Beefheartalso inspired certain aspects of Frank's personality, says Fassbender.
He developed Frank's Michigan accent from that of Iggy Pop, whose voice Fassbender studied by listening to interviews on a loop. Yet the result of practicing his speech patterns — and all his vocals — sounded totally different once the fiberglass head was put in place.
"It's like singing in a box basically," says Fassbender, who often found himself looking through the mouth rather than the eye pieces or nose, which limited his view to fragments of the floor. "It's a little claustrophobic and it's hot and sweaty in there. But it's very liberating."
The actor enjoys it, too. He missed the Frank head, so he put it back on after a year and a half to perform the song I Love You All with his actor bandmates last week onThe Colbert Report. (The single is available now on ITunes.)

Main Divide is the local name for the Southern New Zealand Alps, the backbone of New Zealand’s South Island, where the excellent grape material for this Sauvignon Blanc comes from. The vineyards in the Waipara Valley region were chosen for their special quality and the ability to show regional character in the wine. The grapes were specially harvested at different times to obtain a particularly wide range of ripe but still fresh aromas. After pressing, the juice was immediately fermented cool in the steel tank to give the wine its special freshness. For the certain palate feeling, the wine was allowed to lie on its natural yeast (sur lie) for a while.
On the nose, the Main Divide Sauvignon Blanc shows lively tropical fruit aromas of lychee and passion fruit, as well as a fiery minerality. Behind it are hints of gooseberry, citrus and dried herbs. On the palate you can immediately feel the great mouthfeel paired with liveliness, which develops into a fresh, dry finish.
As an aperitif alone, the Main Divide Sauvignon Blanc is fun. But it also goes well with white fish, be it grilled or steamed. It is also great for summer salad variations with lime dressing. If you like to combine it with meat, we can recommend a red chicken Thai curry.

I was never really comfortable driving the thing. It handled well enough, with adequate power (though not as sprightly as I've become used to: the same horsepower on a 4700 pound curb weight, 1000 pounds more than my RX300!), but I just never settled into it.
I finally figured out why. The problem is simple: those tiny windows (they're only a foot or so tall) made it impossible to see out the passenger side, and difficult to see out anything else. I maintain a mental map of what's around me as I drive, and that was difficult at best.

Community Centre To Be Replaced With Apartments - Wrexham.com
Community Centre To Be Replaced With Apartments
Published: Thursday, May 29
A derelict community centre in Brymbo looks set to be demolished and replaced with housing. Proposals to demolish Venture Hall at Ael-Y-Bryn, Brynyffynon and build apartments on the site are set to be granted by a Planning Committee on Monday evening.
Back in March we reported that proposals to demolish the centre and erect four one bedroom apartments in its place had been submitted to Wrexham Council.
The proposals include a single building facing Ael y Bryn, as well as a footpath and a re-alignment of the junction. Parking facilities will also be provided for the apartments.
In the applications Design and Access Statement it says that: “To concur with the National Planning Policy and the Unitary Development Plan, the scheme has attempted to:
– Make efficient use of the land which is a facility no longer in use.
– Protect the amenities of the surrounding residents.
– Enhance the visual impact of the site.
– Improve the existing footpath on Ael-Y-Bryn, provide a new footpath on Brynyffynon Road.
The site itself lies on the inside of a corner formed by the roads of Ael y Bryn and Brynffynnon Road. The area is opposite to residential properties, a small public car park and a school.
Due to this, the Design and Application says that the roofs, guttering and tiles will match those that are already in existence. Along with this there would be a communal entrance to the flats on the first floor.
The report notes that seven neighbours had been notified of the proposals, with one resident raisingrestricted access to the nearby Newholme Villa. Along with this there are concerns that the windows of the new building will ‘have a direct view into bedrooms at 1 Newholme Villa.’
However the demolition of the community hall was not objected to.
As as result of the concerns raised by residents, the report states: “As a result the main amenity impact is limited to first floor windows within the new building, and it will be important for the first floor kitchen and bathrooms (of the nearest windows) to be fitted with obscure glazing.”
A full copy of the report can be found on the Council website here.

5 Things to Know Before Building A Chicken Coop
Building a chicken coop is a daunting task. After all, this will hopefully be your chickens’ happy home for years to come, and it feels imperative that every little detail be correct. Fortunately, hens aren’t particularly choosy, so a good chicken coop doesn’t need to be beautiful or state-of-the-art.
While there are certain requirements that every chicken coop should meet, it can be difficult to figure out what those are. How much space does each bird need? How much ventilation is necessary to prevent disease? All of these answers depend largely on what kind of birds you’re raising where, but the basics of building a chicken coop are fairly universal – and also pretty basic!
There are a couple of things everybody needs to figure out before they start looking at chicken coops – how many birds they need to house, what kind and size of hens they have, and what kind of weather they’re dealing with. As a general rule, a coop should have at least four square feet of space for each bird, or 10 if the chickens never get to exercise outside.
However, this is where the breed of the birds comes into play: Bantam chickens, unsurprisingly, can get by with less space (about two square feet each), while larger breeds like Brahmas will need extra (as much as eight square feet).
The last consideration is climate. Does the coop need to be insulated against cold weather? Elevated because of frequent flooding? Answering these questions ahead of time will save a lot of time that might be wasted in building a coop that’s inappropriate for your flock.
Although metal chicken coops are available, most chicken coops arend its staunch defenders and detractors. Wood is cheaper, prettier, easier to assemble and repair. People working with wood also have a lot more options for both blueprints and pre-fab coops.
Plastic is lighter and easier to clean, as it can usually just be hosed off or power washed. It’s also great for heavy winters, since it’s less likely to absorb water and warp or otherwise suffer from the cold. That lack of porousness, though, also makes plastic less breathable and more susceptible to condensation.
Despite the popular chatter, plastic is no better than wood at keeping out red mites, the chicken owner’s nemesis. Either material can safely and successfully house chickens; a lot of times, it simply comes down to a matter of the owner’s personal preference.
Once you’ve nailed down the specifications of the coop, it’s time to figure out the particulars of the design. There are an almost infinite number of chicken coop blueprints available online, all with a variety of useful or helpful features. Many have removable floor trays to make it easier to clean out poop and debris; one thing to avoid is narrow spaces between floorboards, which can collect hard-to-reach layers of chicken poop that will eventually build up an unbelievable odor.
LEARN MORE: Bat Houses are Good for the Gardenhicken coop plan, though, is ventilation. Chickens are prone to respiratory infections, and a well-ventilated coop is a must to protect their airways from diseases that could potentially wipe out a flock.
An ideal coop spot will be flat and have relatively few plants around it – tall trees can house hungry hawks, and lots of undergrowth is the perfect hiding place for foxes and other predators. Depending on the climate, though, it might be necessary to build the coop in the shade, so it doesn’t overheat in hours of direct sunlight, and cold-weather chicken owners might want to maximize sunlight for the same reason.
It’s move-in day
Transitioning your chickens into a new coop can feel more like a covert operation than a housewarming party, but it fortunately doesn’t involve any Mission Impossible-style dangling from the ceiling. Instead, the trick is to transfer them into the new coop without them noticing – usually at night. Most hens are deep enough sleepers that if you move them from a roost in the old coop to one in the new one, they won’t notice much until the next morning.
Once they’ve moved, though, the key is in getting them to stay there. The easiest way to do that is to lock them in the new coop for a few days, until they’re relatively used to the new space, and make sure not to let them back into the old coop for a while, until they’re fully settled in their new digs. For chicks graduating to their first coop, no subterfuge is necessary, but it helps to give them that same transition period of staying in the coop for a few days, until they’ve realized this is the new place where they sleep at night and they stop pining for the safety of their old cardboard box.
The process of building a chicken coop can be exhausting, painful, and full of stress. It can also be fun, exhilarating, and full of promise. After all, the world of chicken coops offers a dizzying array of possibilities, and the excitement of successfully transferring a flock to a more suitable home can last for weeks. As always, the trick to any successful chicken-keeping activity is patience, planning, and a readiness to change the plan. Oh, and a nail gun wouldn’t hurt.

What I think is perhaps the most important part of content is that it's really what pushes the rest of your marketing forward. If you're able to consistently create new content and have that being processed on a regular basis, it makes the rest of your marketing efforts much easier. The content that you produce can be shared on social media. It can be shared in email newsletters. It helps with SEO by driving more traffic. If you produce a really great piece of content, say like an eBook or something, that can be used in advertising as a way to generate leads for your website. If you are able to produce new content on a regular basis, everything else you do with marketing is going to be much easier because you won't have to say, "Oh, we need to send out an email this month. Winclude in this email?
We're going to jump into our first poll now. It should pop up on your screen in just a second. All we know at this point is content part of your marketing strategy today?
Now the question becomes what is content market?
We're moving on to our next poll. I'll bring it up here in just a second. We want to know what your biggest challenge with content marketing is today. Is it that you just don't have enough time to execute?
To bring that back to content, once you understand the sales funnel, you're going to start to say, "Well, how does my content align to the sales funnel?
You don't necessarily need a tool either. You can organize all this through something as simple as a spreadsheet as well. Really the whole point of getting organized through a tool or through a spreadsheet or in a specific editorial calendar tool is to keep everyone in the loop so everyone can jump in and say, "Oh, this article has been sitting in the draft Ready for Review lane for too long now. How come that's not moving?" It adds a bit more accountability to everyone as things move along to process where anyone can be jumping in. Let's say you're the business owner and you've delegated this off to another team member and you just want to be able to oversee things, make sure everything's running smoothly, make sure your team isn't running into any problems, and having a single place that you can go and look at for that kind of information is really going to be more helpful than trying to wrangle everyone together and say, "Oh, how's this article coming along?How come this one is still stalled in review?
The first question comes from Rob, and he asks, "Will the slides be available for download after the seminar?
The next question comes from Kenneth, and he asks, "Do you offer managed drip campaign services?"
Next, we have a question from Eric, and he asks, "What makes a good blog post?
Consider you're trying to balance the readability of your article, the usefulness of it, and as well find room for putting in keywords. As I mentioned keywords, one thing to consider, too, is I would spend a little time thinking about what people would potentially search for when they're looking for your topic. You don't really need to be hard care about forcing those keywords into the article itself, but just sort of keep those keywords in mind as you're writing it. I think if you're writing naturally and you're knowledgeable about the topic, you'll naturally use the right keywords on your own. That's a much better way of approaching things rather than saying, "I need to force this specific keyword into this article because this is what people search for most often."
Right. The next question comes from Jim, and he has to questions here. The first is, "How do you recommend approaching a niche market when it comes to creating relevant content?
The second part of Jim's question here is, "Where can you get the most bang for your buck with a limited budget?
Another question we have here from Andy. This is actually a really good question that we get fairly often. "What about getting content from partners or vendors?Does it need to be rewritten to avoid Google's duplicate content penalty?
Also remember, too, when you're talking about duplicate content from a vendor, they're more likely to be fine with it, but if you're taking it from a competitor or another site maybe in a different area in the country, it still can be a little bit risky just because they're likely not ..?


peers, to determine who is acting in the interests of our Union and who is violating its trust.
(4) Aristotle once noted that human beings are political animals, that it is in our nature to participate in the management of a state. I however, feel that his sentiment is inadequate. Rather, I turn to Thomas Hobbes. Hobbes insisted that power, with regards to human society, could have three fundamental forms. One of these forms was the physical power the human animal has in his or her frame – hardly much to speak of – humans are weak, slow, tender, fragile beasties. Another of these is technological power, and it is on this front that humans begin to shine. When human beings analyze their surroundings we seek to make our lives safer, more predictable. We do this by creating tools, devices which increase artificially our strengths – they make us faster, stronger, smarter, safer, more durable, and so on. It is important to note that we do not merely make tools from inanimate objects – rather, when we raise and manage plants, animals, fungi, and other life forms for the purpose of our service, of improving our persons, we are engaged in increasing our technical power. Finally, Hobbes describes political power. Political power includes all those means by which human individuals persuade other human individuals to alter their behavior to accord with their desired wills. Influence, political institutions, rhetoric, and so on all fall under the realm of political power. For power to be political, however, the assumption is that free, rational, equal human beings are engaged in discourse, debate, discussion, and mutual self-service – that is to say they are actively engaged in determining political decisions.
Thank-you for your attention. </s> Definitions
First, Merriam-Webster's definitions:
seclusion; freedom from unauthorized intrusion [one's right to privacy]; archaically, a place of seclusion; secrecy; or a private matter or secret.Second,has a brief article by Michael McFarland, a former president of the College of the Holy Cross and a computer scientist with a liberal arts backgrounds on the subject. Indulge me, if you would, with a length excerpt of President McFarland's piece:
Privacy has many meanings. The most general is "to be let alone," a formulation cited by Louis Brandeis andy. This recognizes that each person has a sphere of existence and activity that properly belongs to that individual alone, where he or she should be free of constraint, coercion, and even uninvited observation. As we would say today, each of us needs our own "space." Most would recognize the protected sphere to include personal opinions, personal communications, and how one behaves behind closed doors, at least as long as these do not lead to any significant threats to society. Many would also include behavior within the family and other intimate relationships in that sphere.
They are, to quote Prosser: first category is the broadest and the hardest to interpret. "Intrusion" can mean physical presence, excessive telephone calls, and unauthorized observation, such as peering through windows of someone's home. It also covers cases where an authority forces someone to reveal personal information against that person's will, such as a court's unjustified demand that someone produce a broad array of personal records or an unnecessary requirement that someone take a blood test.
While the first of Prosser's categories can include attempts to influence, control or coerce someone's private affairs, most of the cases covered by this category and all of those covered by the other three involveabout someone. That is the core meaning of privacy. While some use the term more broadly to refer to any kind of uninvited interference with someone's personal life, privacy in the strict sense means shielding one's personal life from unwanted scrutiny..Finally, I'm including the Cornell Law's Legal Information Institute's definition:
The first such practical expansion regards the condition in which and individual or a private group's actions are anonymous or nontransparent - the degree to which private actors may not only act without compulsion from the polity but, further, the degree to which private actors may do so without knowledge of the polity (or even, in some instances, general society). Privacy in this regard is not merely the right to act as one wills, but to act as one wills without oversight.
The Necessity and Limits of Privacy
Either way, of course, if one is to make the statement that privacy is a right should really be, if one is accurate, individuals and/or groups may expect liberty of action and individuals and/or groups may expect

Tennessee Air National Guard Dinosaur Puppet Video: What Were They Thinking?
By Chantal Da Silva On 4/19/18 at 6:06 AM
The Tennessee Air National Guard has issued severe punishments for three members who used a puppet dinosaur to perform a re-enlistment ceremony. Facebook
U.S. National Guard Tennessee
The U.S. Air Force is sending a clear message that making a mockery of "time-honored" military traditions will not be tolerated, by issuing severe punishments for t in a video that has since gone viral.
It is still unclear why Master Sgt. Robin Brown, a public affairs officer with the Tennessee Air National Guard, decided to use the dinosaur puppet to recite her oath, or why the colonel who led the ceremony allowed it. It is also unclear whether they ever intended for video of the ceremony to be seen by anyone other than themselves.
However, once it was shared online, reaching more than 2.5 million views as of early Thursday morning, it sparked outrage across social media, prompting officials to take action.
Maj Gen. Terry M. Haston, the adjutant general for the Tennessee Guard said in a statement that all three people involved in the making of the video had been removed from their posts.
Haston said Brown has since been removed from her full-time job will face other administrative actions.
The Tennessee Air National Guard colonel who led the ceremony has also been demoted and retired, while an unidentified SNCO who videotaped the event has been removed from his job as unit first sergeant and has been reprimanded, but will get to stay in the Guard.
Brown was named in the post because she had identified herself in the videotaped ceremony
Haston said hhe said.
He added that "the actions of these three individuals in no way represent the professionalism, honor, and courage of the 14."
Air National Guard Director L. Scott Rice said in a statement that he understood public "outrage and frustration" over the footage and said he was ""

Hello everyone. I recently got an Explorist 110 and cant get to, or it doesn't work, any sense out of the compass feature in it. North will sometimes be actually pointing west, or south, then it will move slightly and stop but still not in the right direction. This happens even when it shows excellent sat coverage. To be honest it seems useless. All else works good except the compass. Im about to send it back but before I do I was wondering if there is anything I should do or if it is just a lame feature that others have seen as well with this unit?
Take a look at the back of that 1937 nickel. If it has a "D" mint mark, then take a look at the buffalo. If it has only three legs (the right front leg is missing, due to a mint error) ...
Man!Those nickels look great!Mine always come out looking brown, and nothing I've tried changes them!Congrats, like those kind of spills!
When I was a kid those 2 Buffs and the dime would have meant a double feature western,a coke, and a box of popcorn. Those were the days!
Yeah, I agree with you!If they are not valuable, I clean mine also. For 99% of the people that I show them to, they say WOW, I like showing my collection!Crusty ones don't raise an eyebrow!I've never had anyone yet say, those are too clean!LOL. Indian Head Cents are a little different, clean them too good and they look worse than crusty. I'm trying now to clean 4 Indians, using distilled water in and ice cube tray and freezing and thawing them. Supposed to knock the crud off without damaging the patina, so far it's working. Patience?What is that?
Same as other Chili's -- they have some options, and the staff have had some training. I imagine never gotten sick. I usually get the BBQ ribs with "original" sauce, and a salad. This particular Chili's was very busy and it took about an hour to get our food. Our server was very friendly, but we had a lot of trouble getting her attention for anything. The GF options are listed on an electronic kiosk at the table. It was decent compared to other Chili's I've been to, and honestly there is NO WHERE in Hobbs that knows anything...at all...
The waitress we had and the kitchen staff were knowledgeable. Better selection than most restaurants I’ve visited since I was diagnosed. Had the shrimp bowl without the tortilla strips from the fresh section of the menu. It was very good and a nice change from my usual choice of salad...or salad...
They have a gluten free menu on the Kiosk and it even tells you what part of certain gluten free dishes could be cross contaminated so you know what to avoid if you’re super sensitive to gluten!
The awesome thing about this restaurant is that on the kiosk at your table they have the whole gluten-free menu so you can see what actually has gluten and what might have gluten!I am not totally sure about cross-contamination but I do know that I have eaten here over 10 times and never been sick…Even though lots of other places have made me sick before!
manager was very understandingn. He handled our table himself and listened to our concerns. Highly recommend this Chilis!
at the to go window: when you ask if they can accommodate gluten free for celiac and they respond I don't know, look at the menu...are they annotated?no, but the ingredients should be listed....Also walked to the actual restaurant, they couldn't find the GF menu, and so much was blocked out on a filthy greasy cover we just walked away...

e remember very clearly those first devastating days after diagnosis, combing the internet searching for information about this awful disease that we had never heard of. Of particular importance were the multitude of personal websites documenting the experiences of families who are living with SMA. These sites brought us hope, courage and inspiration and allowed us to envision a life for Alejandro filled with joy and excitement. It is one aim of this website to continue passing that along to other families who follow in our footsteps. As it turns out, Alejandro has taught us more about what is important in life than we ever could have imagined. We love him more than anything and wouldn’t trade him for the world.
By now it has become a bit of a cliche, but I’m going to include this anyway because it well summarizes our experience. To follow is a poem about having a child with disabilites by Emily Perl Kingsley.
Parenting in general is likely to spread a person a bit thin, parenting a child with a disability even more so. This site is updated sporadically as I find time. I apologize if I am unable to respond to comments or emails in a timely manner.


Yeah, someone named Nagin ordered these a couple years ago.
Yes, the very first one!
Also odd that he managed to get a whole lot more aid to Mississippi and its Republican governor than to Louisiana and its Democrat governor. What part of “procedure” dictated that, I wonder?
i snorted. very funny!
They did. Most of the bagging sites in IA were either local or state sites. And providing the sacks and the sand, etc. Disaster Response Win.
Uh, I seem to remember that the levees in New Orleans failed right after a Force 4 Hurricane — that’s a little different from stacking sandbags in sunny weather to keep a river (as opposed to the Gulf of Mexico) out of your back yard.
Also, as I recall, the levees that failed in New Orleans collapsed because their foundations were not strong enough. Piling bags on a levee that is failing at its bottom isn’t going to do any good.
Yeah, but it’s so much easier to blame the residents of New Orleans for the disaster. You notice no one is saying Oh we shouldn’t rebuild in Cedar Rapids because it’s on a flood plain.
Yeah but it’s better protection than nothing when water comes creeping up your lawn. Trust me, I know.
Finally! Damn!
nagin who?

Beijing, I don't think your examples work very well. George Washington may have offered a farewell address before he retired from political life - but he wasn't simultaneously renouncing his American citizenship. Missionaries may offer testimonies before they finish their missions and go home, but they don't do so while saying they are leaving the church. In those contexts, it makes sense to leave advice and words of wisdom - because they are continuing to uphold the same beliefs and principles.

I would love some kind of empirical data for why people leave the church. I was just speaking about this with my dad. He too says that it is because people get offended. I think that's a common notion.
Posted by: Ronan | Mar 24, 2005 at 02:31 PM
I would imagine people say such things because their experience has yielded such results. Not that they are right about the Church as a whole, but in their own little worlds, such is the case.
Posted by: Rusty | Mar 24, 2005 at 02:52 PM
Amen. I'm glad there are people like you within the LDS church who see things through a wider lens.
I am an ex-Mormon, now Evangelical Christian. I never felt offended by anyone within the LDS church, and even if I had I certainly wouldn't have considered that a proper reason to leave.
Why do you think the church is so tight-lipped about this? I'm the last guy who would suggest any sort of conspiracy theory (though many evangelicals have, and I think that's deplorable), but why doesn't the church publish the numbers of people who leave the church? Why don't they do polling to determine peoples' reasons? Wouldn't that be a great tool for retention within the church?
Posted by: Joey | Mar 24, 2005 at 03:01 PM
"Well if they weren't offended before, I suppose they would be after a pretentious and trivializing remark like that."
So it's okay for you to trivialize the bishop's experience? How can you be so sure that most of the people he's seen leave HAVEN'T done so over some offense?
We're talking about two different sets of people: People who leave the church (what the Bishop's talking about), and people who join an ex-Mormon support group (very definitely a specific subset of the above).
I love how the article tries to play up being shunned or disowned when these people leave the Church, despite the continuing refrain of "they still talk, but not about religion." Quite a spin there.
Posted by: Nathan | Mar 24, 2005 at 03:03 PM
Oh, and by the way, the article didn't "quote" the bishop as saying that, it paraphrased him. And given the apparent spin and writer's emphasis that I noted above, I think you can back off for castigating the man for words no one claims he said.
Posted by: Nathan | Mar 24, 2005 at 03:04 PM
I don't think the church is being tight lipped. I suspect it is simply difficult to quantitatively find out why people leave the church. Further self-identification doesn't always reveal the real reason someone leave or the reason that they think of the most.
Consider for example someone who doesn't feel socially a part of church. They cease to enjoy going to church. Then they meet a friend who brings them to an other church. They feel a part at that church. In the course of the friendship the friend shows them some anti-Mormon material about the Book of Abraham. They then are shocked and formally leave the church.
Now in this circumstance, why did they leave the church? Was it because of the anti-Mormon materials or because of the lack of friendship and socialization at church?
I think everyone has their opinion on matters based upon how they judge why people leave. And how they perceive people leaving isn't always what the people leaving say. Now perhaps this is unfortunate. But I think even if sometimes wrong this is a natural thing to do.

The church has done some studies of why members go inactive and disaffiliate.
Ben B. Banks alluded to some studies of less-actives in the October 1999 General Conference.

I was discussing this the other day with someone who though that most people leave because of some huge sin they have. Based on my interactions with people who have left, it's rarely the case.
Posted by: Kim Siever | Mar 24, 2005 at 04:29 PM
Nathan, the Bishop's remarks were concerning people who leave the Church, not to people who join support groups. I'm quoting the article, of course, not the Bishop (who I have had no converstions with). The paper did name the Bishop and write (obviously based on a conversation with him) that he said that when members leave the Mormon church, it’s almost always because they’ve been offended by someone. So I'm not sure why you are thinking "no one claims he said" what is attributed to him when that is exactly what the paper claimed he said.
I suspect most religious groups feel similarly about those who exit the congregation or denomination. You just don't say that to reporters, that's all! As Clark points out, people likely have more than one reason they leave and it may be almost impossible, even with a big survey, to nail down causation. So it is better not to speculate in ways that demean those who leave. Other statements attributed to the Bishop (by direct quotation this time) sound better: "We’re gto them ...."

I'm free to do things my own way. Think about it. How many people create artistic works in cast iron? Not many. Conventional wisdom says that cast iron is too limiting. Personally, I love the limitations of cast. And I love that cast iron can look and feel organic, with none of the sharp edges or angles normally associated with metal. Having no formal art training leaves me free to do things that conventional wisdom says you don’t do. I like that. I think that is worth as much as an art diploma.

The book was easy to read with chapters that you could dip in and out of depending on your interest. The holistic approach and the informationin this area made it much more than just a coaching book, which would be of interest to people with cancer as well as the people that treat and care for them. I like the practical and easy to apply Top Tipa very useful addition to anyone with an interest in how to put coaching into practice in daily life for an improvement in health and wellbeing.

I'm sure that everyone in the pro-audio business has noticed the sudden plethora of ridiculously cheap 'professional' capacitor microphones…
I have seen these Ted!In fact, every time I go onto by eBay bookmark, one of these is at the top of the list. At just over £22 and looking miniature. I wouldn't have given them a second thought. I'm half tempted to give one a go now just for a bit of fun. Perhaps good for miking up a guitar cab?
And for some more news on these mics…
I bought yet another one; and it cost me £10.95!This one again is marked BM-800. I took it to pieces (of course) and spent a happy hour tracing the circuit. It's clever and not at all 'cut price'. It contains a respectable FET head amplifier and some circuitry to work correctly from a conventional 48V phantom system via a regulator and impedance converting transistors. So I have done some more scientific testing and compared it to one of my own old JM47 mics…
Are you finding these on Ali express?May get a pair myself!For around a tenner each you can't really go wrong!
For some inexplicable reason I did not see the last post on this thread until now…
The mics I have which operate from 48V phantom are definitely good for drum overheads…

According to Dr. Ziermann vaccination schedules are country specific because the selection of vaccines recommended depends on which diseases are common in each specific country. “If families intend to live in China for a considerable amount of time, for example over two years, then they need to consider vaccinations for diseases on the Chinese immunization schedule, which are more common here than in their home country,” says Dr. Ziermann. Dr. Duan says: “If you are staying [here]for more than three months, then it’s a good idea to get vaccinated against diseases such as TB, hepatitis A, B and Japanese B encephalitis which are more prevalent in China.”
In July 2014, the World Health Organization (WHO) renewed China’s National Regulatory Authority (CNRA) vaccines regulatory oversight standards qualification. The WHO first approved the qualification in March 2011. China’s Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) under the CNRA issues vaccine-manufacturing license to 34 companies that meet the Good Manufacturing Practices requirements. What does this mean?
