Bolton's Muamba Gets Honorary Degree
13 July 2012, 10:13 | Updated: 30 March 2016, 13:50
Bolton footballer Fabrice Muamba, whose heart stopped for nearly one hour and 20 minutes, will get an honorary degree later
24 year old Muamba, will be honoured by the University of Bolton at its degree congregation ceremony for students, their friends and families to celebrate graduation day.
In March, during the first half of an FA Cup quarter-final between his club Bolton Wanderers and Tottenham Hotspur, Muamba suffered a cardiac arrest.
Millions of TV viewers watched as medical staff rushed to his aid with the player receiving lengthy treatment on the pitch.
He recovered in hospital but doctors who saved his life later confirmed that his heart had stopped for 78 minutes and it is not yet known when, or if, he will be able to return to professional football.
Muamba and his family fled war in the Democratic Republic of Congo, seeking asylum in the UK.
Despite arriving in London aged 11, unable to speak English, he went on to achieve 10 GCSEs and three A levels and joined Arsenal FC's youth academy in 2002.
Dr George Holmes, Vice Chancellor of the university, said: "Fabrice is an exceptional young man in his own right, but he will receive his honorary doctorate to celebrate and recognise the work of the teams who rushed to his aid.
"The university is developing its strength in the field of sports science and associated clinical work for elite athletes.
"There can be no better example of the work of clinicians than the emergency treatment Fabrice received."

When in December last year President of Kyrgyzstan Almazbek Atambayev announced intention to cancel the deal with Russia to build two hydropower plants Kambarata-1 and Kambarata-2 and the upper Naryn cascade he also said that government would find another investor to complete the project. Experts without hesitation pointed out at China as a viable option and it looks like they were not mistaken. This week deputy Prime Minister Oleg Pankratov met with the representatives of China's State Power Investment Corporation to discuss the construction of cascade in Kazarman and four hydropower stations: in Alabuga, Toguz-Toro and two in Kara-bulun with total capacity 1160MW. Chinese company expressed interest in projects and hope that all necessary documents will be produced soon.

Last year was the next in row marked by rapidly growing Chinese investments in European Union member countries. Mercator Institute for China Studies (Merics) and Rhodium Group in the joint report, published in February, estimate that Chinese investments in 2015 reached 20 bln EUR. It's 20% year-on-year growth. Beginning of this year has brought new wave of planned acquisitions topped by valued at 43 bln usd take over of Swiss Syngenta by the state-owned Chem-China. Chinese officials announced that this was just the beginning of the coming overseas buying spree. Recent acquisitions and bids made by Anbang confirm those promises.
Analysts expect that inclusion of One Belt One Road initiative and Chinese outbound investments in the new Five-Year Plan will trigger yet bigger wave of Chinese capital flows, both private and state owned, seeking investment opportunities abroad. Chinese official announced, that total amount of outbound investments in the next 5 years will reach 1 trln usd. They also declare, that Chinese companies will increase their activities in Europe and China will participate in the implementation of the Juncker plan.
European Union faces challenges of proper reception of the coming inflows of Chinese investments, which can bring enormous benefits but are also accompanied by significant threats and risks for EU member countries. Merics and Rhodium Group made an attempt to analyse the opportunities and threats in their report published in June last year (including data from period 2000-2014) and in already mentioned February's update (data from 2015)

Pegasus spyware
Amnesty pushes Israel to restrict NSO Group after spyware used to target activists
Amnesty International to file legal petition in effort to block Israeli firm from selling spyware to foreign governments
Several reports have shown Israeli technology being used by Gulf states against their own citizens (AFP/File photo)
Amnesty International is pushing for Israel's defence ministry to withdraw an export license for NSO Group, an Israeli tech firm that the human rights group has accused of selling spyware to repressive governments to spy on activists.
In a statement on Monday, Amnesty said it plans to file a legal petition to the District Court of Tel Aviv on Tuesday to block the export licenses.
NSO Group, an Israel-based firm, sells a spyware software called Pegasus, which Amnesty said allows governments to "obtain access to targeted individuals' private data, including the ability to secretly control a target's mobile device".
Danna Ingleton, deputy director of Amnesty Tech, said in an affidavit on Monday that NSO Group has not done its job to protect human rights defenders from being targeted.
Instead, many reports have shown that governments have deployed Pegasus spyware "to surveil human rights defenders", Ingleton said.
"The absence of evidence that NSO Group has undertaken adequate due diligence and corrective measures or other steps to prevent such foreseeable misuses of its products, demonstrate the basis for Amnesty International's recommendation…that NSO Group's export license must be revoked," she said.
Israeli spyware sold to UAE owned by US company with UK offices
NSO Group has been under increased scrutiny after a series of reports about the ways in which its spyware programme has been used against prominent human rights activists.
Last year, a report by CitizenLab, a group at the University of Toronto, showed that human rights defenders in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain were targeted with the software.
"Our findings paint a bleak picture of the human rights risks of NSO's global proliferation. At least six countries with significant Pegasus operations have previously been linked to abusive use of spyware to target civil society," the report said.
In October, US whistleblower Edward Snowden said Pegasus had been used by the Saudi authorities to surveil journalist Jamal Khashoggi before his death.
"They are the worst of the worst," Snowden said of the firm.
Another prominent critic of the Saudi government, activist Omar Abdulaziz, said his phone was hacked in summer 2018, obtaining access to more than 400 text messages between Abdulaziz and Khashoggi.
'Secretive company'
Pegasus software can be hacked into phones in several ways, from users clicking on a malicious link to "refined techniques to infect a device without any user interaction", Amnesty said.
Once installed, "operators" gain full access to a person's phone, including their contacts, text messages, photos, call history and even location information.
Amnesty International said in August that a staffer's phone was infected with the Pegasus software via a WhatsApp message.
The message came from a number the staff member didn't recognise, and it was about a protest supposedly taking place at the Saudi embassy in Washington, DC.
"When Amnesty's tech team analysed the message, we found that clicking the link would have installed highly potent spyware - the Saudi protest was just carefully chosen bait," Amnesty said.
It added that closer look at the domain name tied the message to a "secretive company: NSO Group".
An investigation by the Financial Times on Monday also revealed that attackers had been exploiting WhatsApp's call function to spread the spyware by ringing up targets.
The FT quoted a spyware dealer saying that the malicious software could be transmitted even if users did not answer the call request, and that calls often disappeared from call logs.
A person familiar with the issue told the FT that WhatsApp, which is used by 1.5bn people worldwide, were too early into their own investigation of the issue to estimate how many people had been infected this way.
Amid the backlash, NSO Group said in November that it adheres to the law.
The company says it operates "solely in compliance with defence export laws and under the guidelines and close oversight of all elements of the defense establishment, including all matters relating to export policies and licenses".
In a 60 Minutes interview in March, NSO Group's CEO Shalev Hulio declined to divulge who purchases Pegasgus and said the software is well-intended.
"I only say that we are selling Pegasus in order to prevent crime and terror," he said.

A local electric scooter company is hoping to take the company national.
Blue Duck, which was valued at $75 million last week, has collected a $15 million loan to expand and hire more employees, said company officials.
Just a few months ago, Blue Duck struggled to roll out its local fleet of 500 e-scooters. Now, according to a spokesman, the company is up to 30 employees and are planning to purchase 30,000 scooters.
"The hires and the funding round really create that velocity behind our growth," said Farooq Malik, the company's new director of finance and strategy.
Malik, along with Chief Business Officer Michael Keane and Chief Technology Officer Drue Placette, was hired this month. Casey Whittington, who has been working for the company, was made the national director of government relations.
Eric Bell, far left, is president of Blue Duck.
For many scooters companies, one big problem has been getting their hands on the scooters, Malik said. Segway Ninebot, one of the biggest manufacturer, is currently dealing with the fallout from early models that had the potential for battery fires. Malik said with the cash infusion, Blue Duck can sign large volume orders that ensure a steady supply of the units.
"We don't want to put all our eggs in one basket," he said of using multiple suppliers, including Segway.
The company wants to be in "several hundred" markets in the next 12-24 months. Blue Duck is looking to launch in other cities and is also targeting large university campuses. Currently, it is competing with industry leaders Lime and Bird, which both have valuations more than 10 times Blue Duck, and large fleets of scooters.
Blue Duck has for months played up the idea that they are the city-friendly company. While the other scooter companies dropped off scooters without notice —as they did in San Antonio — Blue Duck worked early on with the city on regulations.
"Boy, what a bad way to enter a market by just dropping big hunks of equipment on our sidewalks," said Manny Pelaez, District 8 councilman, before praising Blue Duck at an Oct. 11 council meeting.
The company's other rollouts have not been as appreciated. Its scooters were removed by Texas State University in San Marcos and Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas.
Ford Motor Company just purchased scooter company Spin for estimates of between $40 and $100 million, but Malik said Blue Duck isn't motivated by a future exit.
"Honestly, I personally haven't even thought about it," he said.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Two Blue Duck executives also work for Group 42, which is a contributor to TPRs Technology and Entrepreneurship desk.
A man riding against traffic downtown was struck by a car Tuesday night is the latest in electronic scooter-related accidents since the San Antonio Fire Department started collecting data at the end of September.
Rockdale, Texas, was chosen as the site for what some describe as the biggest bitcoin mine in the country. A Chinese company plans on bringing 400 jobs, while investing $500 million in the mine, which is where rows of computer processors solve complex computations and are awarded digital currency. This comes after a series of booms and busts for this town of 5,600 people.

Spottswoode Estate Vineyard & Winery is a winery in the southern outskirts of  St. Helena, California, in the St. Helena AVA of the Napa Valley, in the United States. The estate was established in 1882. The winery is a producer of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc. As of 2021, about 40 acres are under cultivation, which typically produces around 5,000 cases of wine per year.

History
The estate was established in the Napa Valley in 1882 by George Schonewald, when he bought 31 acres and intended it to be a country retreat during the summer months. He named the estate Lyndenhurst. In 1884, Schonewald sold several acres to Frank Kraft, who began cultivating the vineyard and built the winery, and formed Kraft Wines. The original winery is still in use today and is used as a storage cellar. In 1906, Joseph Bliss purchased the estate and changed the name to Stonehurst. Two years later he sold it to Dr. George Allen who later sold it to the Spotts family, who gave the estate its current name.

In 1972, Mary Weber Novak purchased Spottswoode with her husband, Dr. Jack Novak. Though Jack died in 1977, Mary took over the estate and produced its first vintage in 1982, in time for the centenary of the estate. In 1985, it became the first vineyard in the Napa Valley to be farmed organically,   shortly after Tony Soter became wine consultant, and it was certified organic in 1992. Sauvignon Blanc  has been produced at Spottswoode since 1984.  In 1986, the estate and the Napa Valley was badly affected by flooding.
In 2010, the estate was producing 7000 cases a year, of which about 75% were Cabernets, and it became a seller of homemade olive oil. Mary Weber Novak died in September 2016 and the owner as of 2021 is her daughter, Beth Novak Milliken.  Beth has been the CEO of the company since 2007 and her sister Linda is the Marketing Ambassador.

Production and wines
The winery is a producer of Cabernet Sauvignon and  Sauvignon Blanc. The vineyard at Spottswoode  contains sandy, clay, gravel and loam soils. Wine is made using a combination of cement vats and stainless steel tanks and malolactic fermentation is conducted in the barrel. Cabernet Sauvignon is typically aged for about 22 months in 65% new French oak barrels. The Sauvignon Blanc is aged in a "combination of vessels, steel drums, concrete, egg shaped vats and French oak barrels". As of 2021, about 40 acres are under cultivation, which typically produces around 5,000 cases of wine per year. The estate, which has B corp certification, is committed to climate change and employs numerous methods of production  to deal with it in the future, including the use of long mesh canopies along the grape vines, designed to reduce the intensity of the sun.

Lux magazine describes Spottswoode wines as "wine aristocracy". The 2001 variety of Cabernet Sauvignon was grown and made by Rosemary Cakebread and was acclaimed, with Forbes describing it as "explosively delicious, with great tension and acidity, aromas of eucalyptus and balsamic alongside chocolate-mint leaf, leather, and aged cigar tobacco, and savory flavors of slate-like and almost volcanic minerality as well as flamed orange peel, golden chanterelles, cured black olives, cherry pit, dried currants, and sandalwood, with incense lingering on the long, lifted finish".  The Spottswoode Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 is described by Forbes as being "balanced and concentrated with currants, blueberries, black raspberries and gobs of mixed cherries, sandalwood, incense (especially on the finish), cedar, orange oil, and dark chocolate".  Spottswoode's Sauvignon Blanc is noted for its citrus notes of lime, lemon, grapefruit, and mandarin.

Vendavo is expanding its reach by launching Profit Advisor, an automated price-optimization solution targeted at enterprises with revenue as low as $300 million. The software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution allows users to upload data from their CRM or ERP systems and see areas where they are not optimizing on price, as well as what actions they should take to improve margins.
"For the small guys, it's all benefit. It's something they could not imagine doing a few months ago," Vendavo Chief Marketing Officer Joe Boissy says. "They might have only one or two people massaging their data as much as possible with Excel and macros." The automated product also requires no extensive expertise, which is helpful given the shortage of data scientists in the United States.
Because Profit Advisor is a SaaS product, it will work for smaller companies that may not have the IT departments or budgets for large-scale installations, unlike Vendavo's price optimization product for larger companies. It also automates much of the process, making it easier for companies to find profit opportunities without extensive customization.
In three months of beta testing, one customer reported $59 million in profit opportunities, according to CEO Neil Lustig. Another found the quality and level of findings on par with a three- to six-month consulting job, he said. "There's a lot there for customers who want to understand what the DNA of a deal looks like," observes Joshua Greenbaum, a principal at Enterprise Applications Consulting. "They are going to get to more companies who may not have wanted broader solutions."
After logging into the Vendavo Profit Advisor interface, a user can analyze different profit opportunities. A margin could be less than expected due to high freight costs, a sweetheart deal that hasn't been revised for years, or poor sales negotiations. "For a lot of companies, this kind of analysis is going to move the needle very far very quickly," observes Greenbaum. "There's a lot of low-hanging fruit that pops up when you do this kind of analysis."
Boissy offers the example of a sales manager who could drill in by territory, observing different pricing in different areas or deals completed by a weak salesperson. "We find a lot of simple discrepancies," he says. One common example would be if "a deal was negotiated years ago for a high-volume, special customer and though those conditions had changed, [the customer] still had a preferred price," Boissy says. Another frequent finding is that companies aren't updating pricing for raw materials often enough, costing them money when prices rise and they don't pass those costs to customers.
Vendavo traditionally has had success in areas like manufacturing, wholesale distribution, or high-tech hardware, Boissy states. He predicts that companies with "anything $300 million [in annual revenue] and above" will be at a "sweet spot" for the product offering. Greenbaum sees Profit Advisor as offering particular value to "companies that have relatively dynamic markets that are changing rapidly, with a lot of competition, or a product or technology evolution."


My name is Jane Smettem and I have enjoyed a lifelong involvement and love of the horse. My equestrian business is a second career and has evolved into Saddlesworldwide. I am based near Oakham in Rutland, England's smallest county!
For some time now, the business has focused solely on saddles, specifically Ideal saddles and especially "Designed to Order". Some years ago I teamed up with Ian Jenkin of Minster Saddlery. Together we have fitted and supplied Ideal saddles to happy customers and their horses all over the world; in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Norway & Sweden. More recently we have added France, Poland, Denmark, The Netherlands, South Africa, Saudi Arabia and Japan to that list! Some saddles were standard models, some were standard models fitted to template, some were made to a very individual specification made possible by Ideal's Design to Order service. It has been so enjoyable "meeting" all these lovely horses and their owners around the world. So, the decision to focus solely on this aspect of the business was easy!
Minster are experts in saddles and saddle fitting and have specialised in supplying and fitting saddles for over 20 years. The team comprises Ian Jenkin and his father Keith and Ted Lawrence. Ted is a Master Saddler, a true craftsman who learnt his trade as an apprentice with Champion & Wilton and has honed it with over 40 years experience. He is a magician in the art of flocking a saddle. Ian is a magician in finding solutions to problems and working with you to create your Ideal saddle.
We believe Ideal offer unrivalled choice, quality and flexibility at an excellent price.
The range covers all disciplines, at all levels for all riders and is further enhanced by the Designed to Order service. Ideal is the one major UK manufacturer to specialise in "made to order".
A saddle is traditionally built upon a birchwood laminated frame with metal strapping and fixings. Ideal believe this remains the most versatile and robust foundation for producing saddles today. However, their saddles and designs are developed and continually fine tuned in response to changes in breeding, training and competing and the requirements of today's horse and rider.
In this context it is worth considering for a moment the term "close contact", which has passed into popular parlance. Clearly it is desirable for the rider to be in "close contact" with the horse. However, the ability of the panel to distribute the rider's weight is compromised by the diminished amount of absorption material in the "close contact" panels. Ideal's view and we agree, is that "close contact" panels should be restricted to flat seat competition saddles where the rider is only using the saddle for a short period of time or when weight distribution is not an issue such as show ponies with light weight riders.
Ideal's top selling dressage saddle, the Suzannah, which has been developed with bigger, broader panels and gussets, a wider tree and softer flock is a good example of the move away from "close contact". The saddle is supremely comfortable to sit in, the horse is freer and goes better and "you do get close" says Ian from Minster, the saddle drops and moulds.

Bridgehampton's Carl Johnson To Be Inducted Into New York State Basketball Hall Of Fame This March
By Cailin Riley
Carl Johnson did not get into coaching for personal glory. He does not like being the center of attention when it comes to Bridgehampton Killer Bees boys basketball teams that he coached for decades and led to four state championships. Those who are close to him know this. Which is why the effort to have him inducted into the New York State Basketball Hall of Fame was a covert operation, handled by his wife, Lillian Johnson; former college coach, Luke Clarke; and longtime friend and Bridgehampton alum, Ron Gholson.
The work that trio did paid off, as they found out recently that Johnson was a unanimous pick to enter the hall of fame. Ms. Johnson informed him via text message two weeks ago, and Coach Johnson said he was shocked.
"I was speechless. I had to look at the text again," Johnson said. "I was like, this is crazy. It's an unbelievable honor. I never thought it was going to happen. Most coaches go into coaching because you love the game, and we're not thinking about anything but trying to help kids out and win a championship and help the kids be the best they can be and reach their goals."
Johnson's resume makes it clear why he was a unanimous choice to join a group that includes some of the biggest names in basketball from New York State, from fellow high school coaches from the area like East Hampton's Ed Petrie and Westhampton Beach's Rich Wrase, to former New York Knicks players and Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim.
In his 26-year career coaching the Killer Bees, which ended after the 2016/2017 season, Johnson won four New York State Class D Championships, in 1996, 1997, 1998, and in 2015.
Before he was guiding the team from the sidelines, he was its point guard, leading the team to state titles in 1978, 1979 and 1980 under head coach Roger Golden, and had the rare distinction of winning state championships as both a coach and player for the same team.
Bridgehampton has won a total of nine state championships, second only to Mount Vernon, which has 11. Johnson started as an assistant for former head coach John Niles, who came after Golden, and then took over as head coach when Niles retired in 1990.
Gholson credited Ms. Johnson and Bridgehampton Principal Mike Miller with gathering all the important information the nominating committee required, and he said he worked alongside Clarke to submit that information to the hall of fame committee.
"Carl is certainly worthy of such an honor," Gholson said.
Clarke echoed that sentiment.
"I don't think anybody in New York State has the qualifications that he has," he said, pointing out that Johnson is believed to be the only person in state history who has both played on a state championship team and coached multiple state championship teams.
Clarke was an assistant coach at Southampton College in the 1980s when he met Johnson, who was the team's point guard at the time.
"During timeouts, Carl was always the one you could talk to about what was going on, on the court," Clarke said. "He was an extension of the coaching staff as a player. As he got into coaching, I just loved watching his teams play and seeing how he interacted with the kids. He was such a role model for the kids in Bridgehampton."
Keeping the nomination process hidden from Johnson was key to making it happen, according to those close to him.
"He knew nothing about any of this," Clarke said. "When I spoke with Lillian and Ron and Mike, our goal was to keep it from him because he might put a squash on it. That's the person he is."
The hall of fame is located at a place Johnson knows well: The Glens Falls Civic Center in Glens Falls, New York, the site of his multiple state championship wins, the most recent in 2015. Mount Vernon is the only other team in the state that has celebrated as many state championships as Johnson and the Killer Bees on that floor, so it is fitting that Johnson will now be immortalized there. The induction ceremony is set for the weekend of the New York State Federation Championships, in March 2020.
Johnson's legacy for producing a state championship tradition at one of the smallest schools in the state will forever be on display for the basketball-adoring public to see.
"It's staggering when you think about the stats involved," Clarke said. "When you have 15 or so boys in a class and 10 of them play basketball, to have that kind of success is amazing. And Carl has been the link from the 1970s to the most recent championship in 2015. He's been there almost the whole way."

Our tiny language features a few types: int, float, bool, string and arrays of those types. We can even declare new type names based on other types but it still missing a record type. Today we will address this.
Today we will add a relatively simple feature that will be very useful for a future extension: type declarations.
Today we will do something relatively easy: let's add a way to declare boolean variables and express boolean literals.
Now that we have the basic language set implemented we can consider adding new features to it. Today we will add arrays.
In this part we will complete the missing statements from part 6 and finish our front end.
In part 5 we described the objects that we will need to semantically analyze a tiny program. In current part we will extend the parser of part 4 to do the semantic analysis and create the GENERIC trees.
In the last installment of this series we saw how to verify that the sequence of tokens of the input is syntactically valid. Today we will see what we need to give it meaning.
Now that we have a stream of tokens we can start performing syntactic analysis.
Now that the minimal infrastructure is already set, we can start with the implementation of our tiny front end. Today we will talk about the lexer.
The previous installment of this series was all about the syntax and the semantics of the tiny language. In this chapter we will start implementing a front end for tiny in GCC. The journey will be long but rewarding. Let's get started.


Dancin' Divas, has changed their name to "Dirty Divas" they have been a wonderful addition to the tournament, Captained by Kim Shade and Nancy Khan, and now the torch has been passed to Kristie Gerstenberg and Amy Quartuccio. They has assembled a great looking team, thank you for Captaining and wishing a lot of 'good luck and have fun'!
Well guess what they won — they are the new Women's Champions. Coming back in 2016 to defend their title!
They are back with Kristie and Amy back in the line up. They could be competitive in 2017.
Some History…. A new team to the tournament in 2008, Dancin Diva's team comes from Justin's Sister's (Sasha's) Dancing Studio. She took lessons there for 15 years, a long time, and this team has a number of her fellow students, and teachers from those years. They were very competitive in 2008 and won the first Women's Championship? Every year while challenging they play well, are great sports and have a good time. Nancy has been recruiting so 2014 may be a good year from them. We appreciate their continued participation and support. Nancy did a great job recruiting and again they played well, had a good time. In 2015 we will have two new Captains to carry the team on! Welcome to the new players and Captains.


"Fields of Life were invited to come to our first session of the new term to tell the children about the work the charity carries out in East Africa. Everyone had a fun-filled afternoon with activities and a short presentation.
One of the activities gave Stepping Stones the chance to experience just how heavy jerry cans full of water can be as they carried them over a short course in the hall. Everyone agreed this would be a very difficult thing to do every day and would probably stop the children going to school as often water is far away from where they live. There was also a "Before and After" jigsaw puzzle to complete which showed the difference a school built by Fields of Life can make to a community in East Africa. In the final activity the children had to discuss and decide which Gifts of Life items would be most valuable to families in East Africa. It was interesting to listen in to their conversations as they talked about the relative importance of seeds, mosquito nets and bibles!
Afterwards, Stepping Stones were asked to plan how to raise money for Fields of Life to help support the families in East Africa. They started straightaway with great enthusiasm and listed all the ways they could think of and a plan was drawn up. They decided to dedicate the last day of term for a Fair and Talent Show to raise money.
So, on Friday 23rd March 2018 a whole range of stalls were set up by the children: there was a craft area where there were beautiful homemade bracelets on sale and some great fund-raisers including a "Name the Teddy" quiz, "Guess how many sweets in the jar" and "Guess the weight of the cake". A group set up a Car Wash which proved very popular with our many visitors. The Photo Shoot booth was good fun and the whole event was finished off with an entertaining Talent Show. Everyone there including grandparents, parents and church friends then thoroughly enjoyed the refreshments – there was cake galore!.
The Fields of Life Church and Schools Officer returned a few weeks later and recapped with the children how the money they had raised will be used to change lives in East Africa. We were also presented with a certificate thanking the children for their donation of £203.02 which is now proudly displayed on our Church Hall notice board. Everyone was thrilled that they had been able to contribute to such a wonderful charity".
Thanks to Barbara Weatherill (Youth Leader) for sharing this report.
Youth Leader Freya Briley displays one of our Jerry Can collecting boxes and expresses her pride in the Stepping Stone's fund-raising efforts for Fields of Life.

Darrell Clarke praises mental strength of his Bristol Rovers side following MK Dons victory
The Rovers boss was pleased with the way his side bounced back from three consecutive defeats
Jack Vittles
Darrell Clarke praised the mental strength of his players as Bristol Rovers ended a three match losing streak with a comfortable 2-0 victory against MK Dons.
A first Rovers goal from Tom Nichols gave the Gas the lead in the second half before Rory Gaffney's long range strike made sure of all three points.
The victory sees Rovers climb to 13th in the League One table and sit just four points outside the top six.
Tom Nichols says weight has been lifted off his shoulders after breaking Bristol Rovers goalscoring duck
Given Rovers' recent form, the pressure was on for Clarke's men ahead of the match as Rovers looked to avoid four consecutive league defeats – something they haven't suffered in almost six years.
"I thought the commitment from the players and the mental strength from the players was very good today," said Clarke.
"Particularly on the back of three defeats."
Earlier this season, Clarke had labelled some of his players "fluffy" and alluded to mental weakness, but the Rovers boss was pleased with the manner in which his players turned around their form against the Dons.
Darrell Clarke dedicates win over MK Dons to former Bristol Rovers chairman Geoff Dunford
"In the volatile worlds we're in – with social media and whatnot – it's an important part of managing isn't it?" said Clarke.
"As a manager you've got to get out there and put the belief in the players. I believe we've got a good group of players but we haven't shown it on a consistent level."
Tom Nichols scored his first goal for the club
The victory also means Rovers keep their remarkable record of not drawing a game since a run of six consecutive stalemates back in February.
"Ten win and ten defeats in 20 games shows that [inconsistency]," said Clarke.
"I've forgotten what a draw feels like to be honest."
Rovers now face a two week hiatus from League One action and have three consecutive cup matches to contend with, beginning with West Ham under 23s in the Checkatrade Trophy on Tuesday.
Tom Nichols nets first ever Bristol Rovers goal as Darrell Clarke's side see off MK Dons
"We look forward to Tuesday night's game, we've won the first group game," said Clarke.
"I enjoy cup games, we try to win every game we play. We'll regroup and utilise the squad over the next three games and try and do well in the cup competitions."

Individuals' Rights under HIPAA
HIPAA-P05
HIPAA Privacy and Security Compliance Office
Vice President for University Clinical Affairs
University HIPAA Privacy Officer
This policy applies to all personnel, regardless of affiliation, who create, access or store Protected Health Information ("PHI") under the auspices of Indiana University, designated for purposes of complying with the final provisions of the security and privacy rules regulated by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act. Please refer to the HIPAA Affected Areas document for a full list of units impacted within Indiana University.
This policy addresses individuals' rights under the HIPAA Privacy Rule and applies to IU HIPAA Affected Areas (IU HAA) that are part of IU's health plans or direct treatment providers unless stated otherwise in the policy. For the purpose of this policy the health plan and direct treatment providers will be referred to as Health Care Components.
Required Notice of Privacy Practices
The Privacy Rule provides that an individual has a right to adequate notice of how a covered entity may use and disclose protected health information about the individual, as well as his or her rights and the covered entity's obligations with respect to that information. Most covered entities must develop and provide individuals with this notice of their privacy practices. IU Health Care Components must comply with the notice requirement.
Content of the Notice
Health Care Components are required to provide a notice in plain language that describes:
How the entity may use and disclose protected health information about an individual.
The individual's rights with respect to the information and how the individual may exercise these rights, including how the individual may complain to the covered entity.
The entity's legal duties with respect to the information, including a statement that the covered entity is required by law to maintain the privacy of protected health information.
Whom individuals can contact for further information about the Health Care Component's privacy policies.
The notice must include an effective date. See 45 CFR 164.520(b) for the specific requirements for developing the content of the notice. A covered entity is required to promptly revise and distribute its notice whenever it makes material changes to any of its privacy practices. See 45 CFR 164.520(b)(3), 164.520(c)(1)(i)(C) for health plans, and 164.520(c)(2)(iv) for covered health care providers with direct treatment relationships with individuals.
Providing Notice
The Health Care Component must make its notice available to any person who asks for it.
The Health Care Component must prominently post and make available its notice on any web site it maintains that provides information about its customer services or benefits.
Health Plans must also:
Provide the notice to individuals then covered by the plan no later than April 14, 2003 (April 14, 2004, for small health plans) and to new enrollees at the time of enrollment.
Provide a revised notice to individuals then covered by the plan within 60 days of a material revision.
Notify individuals then covered by the plan of the availability of and how to obtain the notice at least once every three years.
Covered Direct Treatment Providers must also:
Provide the notice to the individual no later than the date of first service delivery (after the April 14, 2003 compliance date of the Privacy Rule) and, except in an emergency treatment situation, make a good faith effort to obtain the individual's written acknowledgment of receipt of the notice. If an acknowledgment cannot be obtained, the provider must document his or her efforts to obtain the acknowledgment and the reason why it was not obtained.
When first service delivery to an individual is provided over the Internet, through e-mail, or otherwise electronically, the provider must send an electronic notice automatically and contemporaneously in response to the individual's first request for service. The provider must make a good faith effort to obtain a return receipt or other transmission from the individual in response to receiving the notice.
In an emergency treatment situation, provide the notice as soon as it is reasonably practicable to do so after the emergency situation has ended. In these situations, providers are not required to make a good faith effort to obtain a written acknowledgment from individuals.
Make the latest notice (i.e., the one that reflects any changes in privacy policies) available at the provider's office or facility for individuals to request to take with them, and post it in a clear and prominent location at the facility.
A covered entity may e-mail the notice to an individual if the individual agrees to receive an electronic notice. See 45 CFR 164.520(c) for the specific requirements for providing the notice.
The Right to Access PHI
General Access
Under HIPAA, individuals have a right to examine and, if they wish, to receive a copy of, all the health information a covered entity has related to that individual, used to make decisions about them. If an individual wishes to examine their health information or designated record set (DRS), each Health Care Component should have a process in place to allow them to do so.
If the patient wishes to examine their information held at other sites or multiple sites around campus such as their billing records, dental records, and chest x-ray images, the Health Care Component should provide them with a form designed for this purpose or refer them to the covered entity that houses their record (e.g., IUH - "Authorization to Release and Disclose Patient Information").
All requests for records must be accommodated within 30 days of the request. If an individual would like a copy of their PHI, the covered entity may charge a reasonable, cost-based fee for providing this. Attachment A – Sample Request to Access
Access to Mental Health Records/Access to Psychotherapy Notes
If an individual requests access to or copies of "psychotherapy notes", then the request may be declined if the provider determines there is a substantial risk of significant adverse or detrimental consequences to an individual in seeing or receiving a copy of mental health records requested by the patient. The only requirements are as follows:
The Health Care Component must make a written record and include it in the patient's file, noting the date of the request and explaining the provider's reason for refusing to permit inspection or provide copies of the records, including a description of the specific adverse or detrimental consequences to the patient that the physician anticipates would occur if inspection or copying were permitted.
The Health Care Component must permit inspection or copying of the mental health records by a licensed physician, psychologist, marriage and family therapist, or clinical social worker designated by the patient. These health care providers must not then permit inspection or copying by the patient.
The Health Care Component must inform the patient of the provider's refusal to permit the patient to inspect or obtain copies of the requested records, and inform the patient of the right to require the physician to permit inspection by, or provide copies to, the health care professionals listed in the paragraph above. The provider must indicate in the mental health records of the patient whether the request was made to provide a copy of the records to another health care professional.
If an individual requests access to "mental health records" that do not qualify as psychotherapy notes (e.g., diagnosis and functional status summaries), the individual has the right of access to inspect and obtain a copy of the records, as long as the information is maintained in the DRS, unless an exception applies.
Exceptions to the individual's right to access
Information compiled in anticipation of a civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding;
Information not available because of restrictions under the Clinical Laboratory Improvements Amendments of 1988 (CLIA);
Oral communications;
The request is to a correctional institution or to the area under the direction of a correctional institution, if release of the information would jeopardize the health, safety, security, custody or rehabilitation of the individual, other inmate or an officer or employee of the correctional institution;
The PHI has been created or obtained by the IU HAA in the course of research that includes treatment and in the research consent process, the individual has agreed he or she will not be allowed access to that PHI so long as the research is in progress;
Information that is restricted by the Privacy Act; or
Information that was obtained from a third party other than a health care provider under a promise of confidentiality and the access requested would be reasonably likely to identify the source.
The Right to Amend PHI
Request to Amend Record
An individual has a right to request that the Health Care Component amend the DRS or other information in the individual's record. The individual must provide a written request for the amendment and provide the reason to support the requested amendment. The Health Care Component must inform individuals in advance of these requirements (i.e., that the request for an amendment be in writing and that the individual provide a reason to support a requested amendment). The Health Care Component must maintain the written request for 6 years. Attachment B – Sample Request to Amend
Response to Request
The Health Care Component must act on the individual's request for an amendment no later than 60 days after receipt of such a request by either accepting and making the amendment, or denying the request in writing. If the Health Care Component is unable to act on the amendment within 60 days, it may have a one-time delay of no more than 30 days by providing the individual with a written statement of the reasons for the delay and the date by which action on the request will be completed within the initial 60 days of receipt of the request for an amendment.
Accepted Request to Amend
If the Health Care Componentaccepts the amendment in whole or in part, the area must:
Identify the affected records and link the amendment to the affected records in the DRS;
Inform the individual in a timely manner that the amendment has been made;
Obtain the individual's identification of and agreement to have the Health Care Component notify those persons with whom the amendment needs to be shared; and
Make a reasonable effort to notify those persons who the Health Care Component knows has the record that has been amended. These persons include those identified by the individual and others, including business associates, who should amend the record because reliance on the un-amended record could cause harm to the individual.
Denied Request to Amend
The Health Care Componentmay deny an individual's request for amendment, if it determines that the record:
Is accurate and complete without amendment;
Is not part of the designated record set;
Would not be available for inspection by the individual; or
Was not created by the Health Care Component, unless the individual provides a reasonable basis to believe that the originator of the information is no longer available to act on the requested amendment.
3. Notification of decision to Deny Request to Amend
If the Health Care Componentdenies the request toamend, they must provide in writing:
A denial written in plain language within the time limits described above;
A basis for the denial;
The process by which the individual may submit a written statement disagreeing with the denial, including the basis for disagreement and the Health Care Component'saccepted length of the statement of disagreement;
A statement that if the individual does not submit a written statement of disagreement, the individual may request that the Health Care Componentprovide the individual's request for amendment and the written denial with any future disclosure of the PHI subject to the requested amendment; and
The process by which the individual may make a complaint to the Health Care Component or the Secretary, including the title, name, contact number of the appropriate Privacy Official.
An Individual's Right to Request Restriction on the Uses and Disclosures of Protected Health Information (PHI)
Individuals have the right to request restrictions on: (a)how a covered entity will use and disclose protected health information about them for treatment, payment, and health care operations; (b) Disclosure of PHI to family members, friends, and others involved in their care.
A covered entity is not required to agree to an individual's request for a restriction, but is bound by any restrictions to which it agreesexcept as provided in 45 CFR164.510(a)(1)(vi).
Each Health Care Component must have in place:
To allow an individual to request a restriction on disclosures of their PHI:
for treatment, payment or health care operations;
to family members, friends and others involved in their care
To accept or deny a request for restriction
A covered entity must agree to the request of an individual to restrict disclosure of protected health information about the individual to a health plan if:
The disclosure is for the purpose of carrying out payment or health care operations and is not otherwise required by law; and
The protected health information pertains solely to a health care item or service for which the individual, or person other than the health plan on behalf of the individual, has paid the covered entity in full.
Attachment C–Sample Request to Restrict PLACEHOLDER
An Individual's Right to Request Confidential Communications
The Health Care Component must permit individuals to request communications of PHI from the area and must accommodate reasonable requests to receive communications of PHI by alternative means of communication or to alternative locations. The Health Care Component may not require the individual to explain the reason for the request.
The area will accommodate reasonable requests if:
Requests are made in writing to the responsible Health Care Component's designee with specific instructions as to location, address or fax number and include individual's signature and dated;
The request is for electronic communications via email or fax, and the individual has provided a signed request for electronic communications; and
The individual provides payment in advance for all costs of mailing to one or more alternative locations (e.g., FedEx, express mail, etc.) when the requests are for mailed communications, other than standard first class mail.
The Health Care Component shall document its response to any written request and maintain such documentation for six years following the last communication to which a request pertains.
An Individual's Right to Request an Accounting of Disclosures
The Privacy Rule requires the Health Care Component to provide an individual with an accounting of the disclosures of the patient's PHI made by the Health Care Component in the six years prior to the date on which the accounting is requested except for the following uses and disclosures to or for:
The individual;
Treatment, payment and health care operations (note that if the covered component maintains all or part of the PHI in an Electronic Health Record (EHR) then the covered component eventually will be required to provide an accounting of disclosures for treatment payment or health care operations from the HER for up to 3 years to the date of the request.
Business Associates who have entered into either a Business Associate Agreement or Amendment as required, so long as the disclosure is for treatment, payment, or healthcare operations;

Disaster relief purposes;
National security or intelligence purposes to authorized federal officials for the conduct of lawful intelligence, counter-intelligence and other national security activities authorized by the National Security Act;
Correctional institutions or law enforcement officials for custodial situations so long as the use or disclosure is for: the provision of health care, health and safety of the individual or other inmates or persons responsible for transporting inmates; law enforcement on the premises and for maintaining the good order of the correctional institution;
Health oversight or law enforcement agency who request temporary suspension of accounting because it may impede their activities (see documentation requirement); and
Those disclosures that occurred prior to April14, 2003 or disclosures that were made more than 6 years prior to the date of the request for an accounting.
The individual must provide the Health Care Component with a written request for an accounting, and the Health Care Component must maintain the written request for six years.
The Health Care Component must respond to the written request for accounting within 60 days of receipt of the request. If the Health Care Component is unable to provide the accounting within 60 days, the Health Care Component is allowed a one-time delay of 30 days by providing the individual with a written statement of the reasons for the delay and the date when the Health Care Component will provide the accounting.
The Health Care Component must provide the individual with a written accounting that meets the following requirements:
The date of the disclosure;
The name of the entity or person who received the PHI and, if known, the address of such entity or person;
A brief description of the PHI disclosed;
A brief statement of the purpose of the disclosure that reasonably informs the individual of the basis for the disclosure or a copy of a written request for disclosure from an official source; and
If there have been multiple disclosures of the individual's PHI to the same person or entity for a single purpose, the accounting may include the information required for the first disclosure, date of the last disclosure and the number of disclosures made during the accounting period.
Disclosures pursuant to a Waiver of Authorization
Less than 50 individuals
The covered entity must account in each individual's record for disclosures of an individual's PHI pursuant to an IRB or Privacy Board Waiver of Authorization of the disclosure if the disclosure involves fewer than 50 individuals.
Attachment D–Sample Accounting (individual) PLACEHOLDER
50 or more individuals
If the disclosure of the individual's PHI is pursuant to an IRB or Privacy Board Waiver of Authorization and includes disclosures for a research purpose that involves 50 or more individuals, the Privacy Rule (45CFR 164.528(b)(4)) provides for an alternate method of accounting for disclosures.
Attachment E –Sample Accounting (>50)PLACEHOLDER
An individual may request one free accounting of their disclosures in a rolling 12-month window. The Health Care Componentmay charge a reasonable cost-based fee for additional requests from the same individual within the 12-month window if the Health Care Componentadvises the individual in advance of the fee and provides the individual with an opportunity to withdraw or modify the request in order to reduce or avoid a fee.
The Health Care Componentmust document and retain for 6 years:
The information required to be in the accounting;
The written accounting that is provided to an individual; and
The titles of the persons or officer responsible for processing accounting requests.

This complaint must be filed within 180 days of when the complainant knew or should have known that the act had occurred. The Secretary may waive this 180-day time limit if good cause is shown.
Each Health Care Componentshould have a process in place to allow an individual to file a complaint as required under the HIPAA Privacy Rule. This process should be outlined in the notice of privacy practices as state in Section I.

Q: Angular 6 removes query string from url Example
http://localhost:4200/login?aUasas129198

resolves to
http://localhost:4200/login

What should I do if I want the value after '?'
I tried doing
{ path: 'login/:id', component: LoginComponent },

But it did not work
I also tried
console.log(this.route.snapshot.queryParams);
console.log(this.route.snapshot.params);

But they both return empty object. What should I do now please help

A: Actually, You are not passing the value in any key:
http://localhost:4200/login?aUasas129198

The proper way should be:
http://localhost:4200/login?anykey=aUasas129198
// get it as
// this._ActivatedRoute.queryParams.subscribe()

If you are using the URI as you shown in your question as:
{ path: 'login/:id', component: LoginComponent }

Then you should pass the value to id as:
http://localhost:4200/login/aUasas129198
// remember the '/' after the login that you didn't use.
// get it as
// this._ActivatedRoute.snapshot.params.id

A: If it's unavoidable that Angular redirects you immediately and loses the query parameters, you could subscribe to router events and on each NavigationStart for login route get a hold of route's queryParamMap or snapshot.paramMap before they're lost in redirection, then you can e.g. pass it to a service and do whatever you wanted to do with it.
Or, as another alternative, you could look into configuring your router with queryParamsHandling: 'preserve', in which case it should pass the query params to the next route (see the section in Angular docs linked below for more on this).
I worked with a project that made use of query params in Angular 5, IIRC I don't think it would redirect on its own so I'd recommend to look elsewhere in your project but I may be wrong.

The Film Industry in Brazil
Culture and the State
By Randal Johnson
Looking back through the prism of the severe economic crisis for filmmaking in the 1980s, The Film Industry in Brazil explores the unusual relationship between the state-supported industry, which often produced politically radical films, and the authoritarian regime that had held sway for twenty years. To ground his analysis, Johnson covers the early years of the film industry, 1898-1930; attempts at industrialization during the 1930s and 1940s; film industry congresses and government film boards, 1950-1966; the National Film Institute, 1966-1975; and the expansion of the state's role from 1969 through 1980.
Well-conceived, carefully researched and documented, Johnson's study fills a major gap in film studies by tracing the development of this industry in Brazil, focusing specifically on its relationship to the state.

(31175) Erikafuchs ist ein Asteroid des mittleren Hauptgürtels, der am 7. Dezember 1997 im Rahmen des OCA-DLR Asteroid Surveys (O.D.A.S.), einem Projekt des OCA (Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur) und des DLR (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt), am 90-cm-Schmidt-Teleskop des französischen Observatoire de Calern (IAU-Code 910) entdeckt wurde.

Der Asteroid gehört zur Eunomia-Familie, einer nach (15) Eunomia benannten Gruppe, zu der vermutlich fünf Prozent der Asteroiden des Hauptgürtels gehören. Die zeitlosen (nichtoskulierenden) Bahnelemente von (31175) Erikafuchs sind fast identisch mit denjenigen des kleineren, wenn man von der absoluten Helligkeit von 15,5 gegenüber 13,0 ausgeht, Asteroiden (172339) 2002 VL57.

(31175) Erikafuchs wurde nach der deutschen Übersetzerin Erika Fuchs (1906–2005) benannt, die vor allem als Übersetzerin von Disney-Comics bekannt wurde. Anlass für die Benennung war die geplante Eröffnung eines Erika-Fuchs-Museums in Schwarzenbach an der Saale. Die Veröffentlichung der Benennung durch die Internationale Astronomische Union (IAU) erfolgte am 21. August 2013.

It's time to be real with one another, no subject is off limits after all. Especially one that affects every women at some stage of their life – That's right, periods. No, these aren't glamourous. Yes, they are uncomfortable. But, they are happening all around us and not going anywhere, ever. They are a part of life, yet, when we need to borrow a tampon we have to skulk to a friend or work colleague and ask in a hushed tone as to not offend anyone.
In the hope to spark a revolution and change the way people think about periods, and feel during them, THINX has come up with period pants. Made up of four bits of technology, these are anti-microbial, moisture-wicking, absorbent, and leak-resistant. How you wear them is up to you. You can wear them with your tampon or menstrual cup on heavy days, or just wear the best style of underwear for your flow.
Long gone the 'period' pants, you know, the old, slightly nana-ish pants you save for 'that time of the month'. THINX pants come in hip hugger, high-waist, boy short, sport, cheeky and thong and each hold different tampon-amounts of blood. Of course, the whole point is for reusable underwear, so with a simple cold water wash immediately after use you can add them to your washing pile and waa-laa! A new way of looking and feeling on your period.
Peek-a-boo feat. The Hiphugger ?
It all started in 2014 and now THINX is selling over 300 of their most popular style – the hiphugger – every 24-hours. Thinx has started, and is now part of, a revolution, both in the way we feel when we have our periods and the way we discuss periods.

I'm not going to lie, Trujillo and the nearby beach town of Huanchaco in northern Peru were two of the biggest shitholes I've ever found myself in.
Trujillo was a pit stop on our way south after coming from Ecuador. After 24 hours, 4 buses, and a 3:00am border crossing- where we had to wake up the immigration officer- we took Lonely Planet's advice and decided to stay in the smaller city of Huanchaco instead of downtown Trujillo.
But the moment we stepped out of the cab, I felt an odd vibe. The whole town had a semi-abandoned feel and a gray haze hung over the place. Vultures circled overhead.
We had no internet and couldn't look up recommended hostels, so with the sun close to setting we wandered the streets, exhausted, looking for somewhere to stay. When a tanned man sprouting white hair peeked out of a nearby door and asked us if we needed a room, we were immediately resigned to say yes.
After our hostel that resembled a luxury spa in Vilcabamba, our last stop in Ecuador, going to the shittiest hostel I've ever stayed in was quite a hit. The bathroom had no soap or toilet paper, an opened lube packet lay in one of the drawers, and weird, electronic Peruvian music blasted late into the night.
I was pretty certain he was going to come murder us during the night.
We left the next day. We booked a night bus to Huaraz and spent the afternoon visiting the pre-Columbian ruins around Trujillo, which was the original reason we wanted to stop in the city.
The first site we went to was the ancient Chimú city of Chan Chan, dating back to 900 A.D. The high sand walls of the city used to house 60,000 inhabitants, and the sheer size of the ruins was impressive; probably less than half of it has been excavated.
We also stopped by the Museo de Sitio Chan Chan near the site, which was nothing to write home about, as well the the Huaca Esmeralda, which was oddly situated in the center of Trujillo and guarded by a Peruvian hairless dog.
We then took a cab to the Huaca de la Luna on the other side of the city. This was definitely the most interesting part of our time in Trujillo. With a 10 soles entry ticket we got a free guide, who told us the history of the temple. Built by the Moche civilization almost 2,000 years ago, the temple used to be a sacred place for elite priests. Human sacrifices were sometimes performed there, and you can still see colorful reliefs in the lower levels of the huaca.
A second temple, the Huaca del Sol, which you can see from the Huaca de la Luna, has yet to be fully excavated. The valley between the two also has ruins of an ancient city, but most of those have not been fully dug up either. Our guide told us that the Peruvian government doesn't give the archeologists any money, so they have to wait for private groups to fund excavations.
Worth it? If you don't mind staying in a pretty strange and creepy place, the ruins were interesting to see. If you don't care about the ruins, don't hesitate to skip Trujillo.
What to bring: Yourself, and then promptly get the hell out of there.
What did you think of Trujillo? Would you recommend it to others? Let us know in the comments!

The MB&F Legacy Machine Perpetual in Palladium
We've been admirers of MB&F from the very early days, that said, when our eyes first glanced at the price it would cost to own one of these gorgeous machines – I think it is easy to say we were a little taken aback. It was only when you delved into what makes MB&F watches extraordinarily special did it become apparent exactly the time, effort and craftmanship that went into each timepiece created. As The Beatles said in one of their most well-known songs; "I get by with a little help from my friends" and this is a philosophy that Max Busser has built his business on – hence the F that proceeds MB&.
Max Busser is known for his rather outlandish watch designs but the introduction of the Legacy machines back in 2011, perhaps brought a more sensible and practical side to his designs but with technical flair. The Legacy Machine Perpetual was first introduced in 2015 and since its launch the LM Perpetual has been crafted in yellow-gold red-gold, platinum, white-gold and titanium. And just over a week ago it was announced in a new palladium case with a striking aquamarine dial, that now joins the series: in a limited edition of 25 examples.
The shape of the LM Perpetual is in-keeping with the original design, one born from the inquisitive question from Max of what he'd design if he were born in the 19th century, however, what makes the LM Perpetual special is of course the movement – which in my humble opinion is a technical work of art. The classical cues of the Legacy Machine provide the perfect platform for a perpetual calendar.
So, beginning with a blank sheet of paper, MB&F enlisted the help of independent Irish watchmaker Stephen McDonnell to completely reinvent the most traditional of horological complications: the perpetual calendar. The result is the LM Perpetual, featuring a visually stunning in-house movement – developed from the ground up to eliminate the drawbacks of conventional perpetual calendars. But what makes the LM Perpetual even more impressive is that the complication can be fully appreciated dial-side, which is just one of the many benefits afforded from rethinking a complicated design.
The LM Perpetual features a fully integrated 581-component calibre − no module, no base movement − with a revolutionary new system for calculating the number of days in each month. And it holistically reinterprets the aesthetics of the perpetual calendar by placing the full complication on the dial, displayed underneath the suspended balance. It's quite well-known that traditional perpetual calendar complications can be quite finicky and fragile, i.e. dates skipping or damaging the movement trying to correct it while the date is moving. However, this fully integrated, purpose-built movement of Legacy Machine Perpetual has been designed from scratch for trouble-free use – thus eliminating this fragility.
LM Perpetual is anything but traditional and reinvents the wheel by using a "mechanical processor" instead of the conventional grand levier. The mechanical processor utilises a default 28-day month and adds extra days as required. This means that each month always has the exact number of days required; there is no fast-forwarding or skipping redundant days. Additionally, the LM Perpetual makes use of a dedicated quickset pusher to adjust the year, thus negating scrolling through up to 47 months – something you'd need to do on traditional perpetual calendars.
The open dial of the LM Perpetual reveals the full complication and suspended balance that hovers above the entire dial is connected to the escapement on the back of the movement by a long balance staff. Using an innovative system developed especially for Legacy Machine Perpetual, the skeletonised sub dials appear to "float" above the movement with no visible attachments. At 12 o'clock we see the hours and minutes nestled between the elegant arches of the balance; day of the week at 3 o'clock, power reserve indicator at 4 o'clock, month at 6 o'clock, retrograde leap year indicator at 7 o'clock, and date at 9 o'clock above the stark blue base of the dial. All packed into a 44m Palladium 950 case, which adds a nice classical element, on a brown alligator strap.
The MB&F Legacy Machine Perpetual in Palladium 950, is limited to just 25 pieces and is priced at €165,000. For more information on this exquisite timepiece, visit the MB&F website.

We are down to the wire with back to school shopping! Jacob starts on Monday and I'm STILL not ready! I finally have all the basics: pencils, folders, backpack, shoes. Now, though, it's time to start thinking lunch! Since I have the pickiest eater on the planet, this is the hardest part of all. Jake eats lunch at about half the time. The other half, I pack for him. I also have to pack him a snack every day.
Since Jacob isn't a big sandwich person- he only like PB&F(luff), and peanuts are off limits because of kids with allergies- I have to get more creative. I'll share a few of my ideas with you next week. Today, though, I want to talk to you about back to school lunchbox supplies for picky kids. Believe it or not, it's a bit more complicated than just picking up a cool character lunch box because all the odds and ends don't really fit right in those. Jacob doesn't really want certain things touching (he gets that from me), and some things need to stay cool while others stay room-temp. Let's check out what's on my list of must-have school lunch supplies for picky kids!
School Lunch Supplies for Picky Kids!
Collapsible Insulated Tote Bag: Rather than a ridged lunch box with solid sides, look for a collapsible insulated lunch bag with more give. That way you can fit different shapes into it. Bonus, when kids are done, they can squish it down into their book bag, so they're less likely to forget it in their lockers or cubbies.
Reusable snack bags: Target has a ton of these, and they're super handy. They're basically cotton fabric on the outside, but lined with a wipeable, washable material on the inside. Use them for everything from fruits to crackers (or both!). They take up less space that hard containers.
Salad dressing containers: Jacob doesn't eat dressing of any kind, but these are just the right size for a snack-size serving of olives, a stack of turkey pepperoni, a bit of shredded cheese or baby carrots. If your child will only eat veggies with dressing, these also solve that problem!
Small Thermos: I don't really need the giant Thermos', but those small 10-oz deals are perfect for things like mac and cheese, tomato soup and the other few hot foods my son will actually pack for lunch. They're also a good shape and size for keeping small pizza crusts from getting crushed. Then I can pack the cheese, sauce and turkey pepperoni in those salad dressing containers.
WetOnes Wipes: Most of what Jacob eats is pretty messy, from personal pizzas to nachos with cheese. He's a lot like me, he can't stand to have sticky fingers. When he eats certain foods at home, he'll actually request one wet and one dry paper towel. At school, I can send WetOnes along in his lunch container and know he'll be covered.
I already grabbed WetOnes Singles at Target on a shopping trip the other night. I was out by myself picking up other basic school supplies. I like to let Jake pick out things like his actual lunch box and what not, but it's easier for me to grab all the other stuff. I love the WetOnes Singles because they're individually wrapped, so I can just throw on into his lunch box and not worry about him going through an entire package in one day.
Visit Target for all those times for when you say I Wish I Had a Wet Ones and for all your back to school lunch supplies for picky eaters! One more trip and I'm finally ready! Now if I could just get myself used to getting up early again! Guess I'll have to keep some WetOnes on hand for myself for the gallons of coffee I'll be drinking. My son gets his messy gene from me!
How do you pack for your picky eater? Tell me your ideas in the comments! Plus come back next week for ideas on what to pack for kids who aren't fond of the typical sandwich!
Definitely making lunch fun for them by picking out cute supplies is an awesome idea. Thanks for sharing these tips.
We would love to try the Salad dressing containers. I find this tips very helpful for our kids. it's a super pickey eaters.
