The purity of Christian Science as given to the world by Mary Baker Eddy must be maintained.
Mrs. Eddy's human experience encountered new phases of the counterfeit all along the way. And it is not surprising that toward the end of her personal ministry there should appear a phase of evil more subtle than any which preceded it or that after her personal departure it should develop into one of the most menacing deceptions of the hour. I refer, of course, to that teaching called "spiritual organs" which attempts to confer upon the fading forms and outlines of mortal belief and its counterfeit physical mechanisms the reality belonging to spiritual ideas of divine Love.
Although there is a tendency among some Christian Scientists who recognize this evil to treat the subject in lighter vein, it really constitutes an overshadowing menace to the preservation and extension of Christian Science in its purity. Mrs. Eddy covered this subject conclusively and finally many years ago in a correspondence with a well-known teacher [Edward A. Kimball]. The Trustees under her will own one of the most valuable of documents definitely and specifically settling the matter so far as Mrs. Eddy's views on the subject are concerned. This "spiritual organs" teaching is a phase of Theosophy which operates more subtly, but not with essential differences from the operation of so-called Mental Science, New Thought, and other systems of suggestion and belief.
More than three years ago this subject became one of the most acute issues in the Christian Science organization. Some of the present and former Directors and the then Editors were greatly aroused and denounced the use of the periodicals for anything savoring of such teaching. Unfortunately many of those who a few months ago were clear and outspoken on this vital subject are now quiescent and willing to let the matter go in the fatally mistaken belief that to not raise this question will aid in establishing "peace"!
There is much more that needs to be said on this subject and which must and will be said at no far distant day.
This statement by an early Director shows that Mrs. Eddy regarded the Kimball teaching to be a variant. She expected it to be corrected, as she always felt about variations from her teaching. (See insert — Mrs. Eddy's correction.) It would seem that after the finding of the Supreme Court which excludes all variations to Mrs. Eddy's teaching that the Directors would have had ample opportunity and support for the correction. The last two paragraphs of Mr. Dittemore's quotation suggest, however, that despite the Supreme Court ruling there were some Board members who favored the Kimball teaching and no doubt had hopes for its future official return. This proved to be the case and came about in the 1930s as will be explained.
The effect of Annie M. Knott's appointment in 1919 to the Board of Directors as its first woman member, and added to this the Supreme Court decision of 1921, was that during the 1920s the Directors appointed only personal students of Mrs. Eddy to teach the Normal classes. This was in keeping with the "regnant design" and demand of Mrs. Eddy. That no teacher with Kimball background taught Normal classes following the Supreme Court ruling shows that the Directors at that time understood that the Kimball school did not qualify under those terms. The purpose of Mrs. Eddy's trust deeds now prevailed and the line on the graph — on the front page — continues to rise without change.
Here the upward thrust on the graph makes an abrupt halt. In the 1930s Mrs. Eddy's two trust deeds, containing the purpose for her organizations, were breached.
In 1931, Duncan Sinclair, an associate editor of the periodicals, was appointed to teach the Normal class. He was an adherent of the Kimball school, but not a personal student of Mr. Kimball.
When Mrs. Knott retired from the Board in January 1934, the chief personal guardian — or monitor — of Mrs. Eddy's teaching was gone. With this Board change, the Directors who favored the Kimball teaching over Mrs. Eddy's, of which at that time there were three, took this opportunity to re-entrench their favored teaching into the church's teaching system, and thereby shift the momentum of the 1920s away from Mrs. Eddy's school as quickly as possible.
The Kimball teaching in the 1930s reached a crescendo, starting with Duncan Sinclair, proceeding to the stronger presentation of George Shaw Cook, and peaking with Bicknell Young, the ultimate Kimball teacher. It was Young's 1937 class that carried the Kimball school into the future. Together with the two preceding classes, this class in 1937 had the effect of annulling the work of Mrs. Knott, as well as breaching the trust. Mrs. Eddy's school had been so well established during the 1920s that it was impossible to inject the Kimball teaching except in this calculated way, overcoming the influence of Mrs. Eddy's teaching.
This was not true, of course, that the Kimball teaching was Mrs. Eddy's gift; nor that she specially taught him to present Christian Science "more exactly, scientifically, spiritually" than she had taught. Mrs. Eddy alone is the revelator of Truth to this age. There is no teaching that improves on what she taught in her classes. By saying it was a gift from Mrs. Eddy, etc., the purpose of the deeds of trust was evaded.
The ensuing disruption and outcry from the pupils wanting Mrs. Eddy's teaching was a last gasp for the adherents of Mrs. Eddy's school, who now saw the Kimball school being entrenched again.
This disruption proved that there was a distinct and major difference between the two schools. The fact that there was disruption also indicates that calculated force had been used to re-entrench the teaching into the church's system. It was becoming more and more apparent to the field that there was a radical turning from Mrs. Eddy's teaching to that of Mr. Kimball's.
After Mrs. Knott retired from the Board she continued to follow the developments in the movement. She wrote her reminiscences, taught her annual classes, conducted her association meetings, carried on her correspondence with her students, and witnessed the return of the Kimball school into the church system. Her students who were in contact with her at this period report that she was experiencing growing concern over this reversal and the possible loss of Mrs. Eddy's teaching, and seeking God's means to protect it and carry it into the future.
On a trip to Boston in August 1936, I had the privilege of a visit with Mrs. Knott at her home on Beacon Street. In September 1937, I was employed by Mr. and Mrs. John Larkin (later, my adoptive parents as of April 1939) with the object of working my way through college at the local university.
Beginning in September 1915, Mrs. Larkin became a close friend of Mrs. Knott during her college years in Boston, throughout which time she regularly attended Mrs. Knott's Sunday School class. Mrs. Larkin's dormitory was near Mrs. Knott's residence and they became such close friends that Mrs. Knott's son and daughter-in-law came to regard her as a family member. Mrs. Knott and Mrs. Larkin had taken trips together in the past, and Mrs. Knott was a house guest in the Larkin home in Miami in January 1929. In June 1938, Mrs. Larkin invited Mrs. Knott to go on a weekend trip to Plymouth on Cape Cod, and Mrs. Knott accepted.
Mrs. Larkin had class instruction with Mrs. Knott in 1923 (John Larkin, in 1925), and became a listed practitioner in July 1926. In 1931 Mrs. Larkin attended the Normal class and became a teacher. While attending the six-day Normal class Mrs. Larkin went each evening to Mrs. Knott's home, at which time Mrs. Knott recounted how Mrs. Eddy gave those lessons at the Massachusetts Metaphysical College.
After she returned to Miami and began preparing her class lessons, her mother's teacher sent her more than two hundred full-size, handwritten pages of notes taken from her Normal class under Judge Hanna in 1907. With this wealth of class material from the school of Mrs. Eddy, Mrs. Larkin, with much inspiration and joy, prepared for her first class and to carry forward the original standard of Mrs. Eddy's teaching.
Aware of Mr. Young's Normal class, six months before, together with the preceding classes by Cook and Sinclair, she was concerned that the Kimball teaching was superseding the teaching of Mrs. Eddy. She indicated that there had been very strong dissension over the issue of the two teachings within the movement, and that it would require a reformation, with its forays and battles, to restore and advance Mrs. Eddy's teaching in its purity.
Mrs. Knott spoke of the poet, Tennyson, whom she regarded as the greatest poet in literature. She mentioned his "Idylls of the King" and its demand for purity against the dragon of impurity. The purity of Christian Science as given to the world by Mrs. Eddy must be maintained.
Mrs. Knott's family descendants were not closely interested in her work and station in Christian Science. She had students who were practitioners, and she had had some that were teachers, but Mrs. Larkin was the only one to whom she could confide her concerns for the future of Mrs. Eddy's school, being her only student who was a teacher at that time.
During one visit at Mrs. Knott's she was reclining on the davenport quietly. She asked me to bring my chair over close to her. She asked: "Marie, do you know who you are?" I hesitated because I did not understand the question. Then she said, "Marie, you are a world worker," emphasizing the words "world worker." In a little while she asked me if I knew what it meant.
While the Board was securing the future of the church's teaching system through three consecutive Normal classes of Kimball adherents, Mrs. Knott's only apparent link to the future was her only remaining student who was a Primary class teacher, Mrs. Larkin. From this visit Mrs. Larkin understood that Mrs. Knott wished to pass her torch to her.
After her class with Mrs. Knott in 1923, people began calling on Mrs. Larkin for metaphysical help, and she had many remarkable healings. Moving to Miami in 1925, she devoted more and more time to helping others. By nature a spiritually-minded and spontaneously joyous person, she was also very compassionate and approachable. She soon went into the full-time practice of Christian Science and established her office in her home. She was a quick healer and there were many healings which were regarded as miraculous. People in other locations heard of her quick, effective healings and she received calls and cables from many places outside of Miami. Not only were the sick healed, but the dead were raised, and business, domestic and personal problems were solved. So well-known was her work in the local field that it seemed to arouse feelings of deep resentment among some of the other listed practitioners. In the late 1920s and early 1930s there were over thirty Journal-listed practitioners who attended First Church, Miami. In a number of instances patients who were not healed by other practitioners came to Mrs. Larkin and were healed. After 1931 when Mrs. Larkin became a teacher there appeared to be mounting resentment and opposition.
Bearing in mind that the Kimball school and the school of Mrs. Eddy seem to repel each other, it is logical that as the Kimball school was being speedily forced back into the teaching system of The Mother Church during the 1930s, there would be a reaction — a backlash — against Mrs. Knott and Mrs. Larkin, her only student who was a teacher at that time.
The action of reversing Mrs. Eddy's school in the 1930s was of such magnitude as to cause a complete stoppage in the direction of progress — as shown by the graph on page 1 — followed by a dramatic plunge.
This organizer and those of her new circle (some of whom were pupils, or friends, of the Directors in Boston) made the acquaintance of some of the receptive Boston Board members. In November 1938, one of the Directors, Mr. Rathvon, came to Miami for a brief visit. Although he had known Mrs. Larkin since her college years in Boston, and greeted her cordially at church on November 6, he had no time to see her otherwise. It was reported, however, that he did have visits with some of the organizer's circle. It was evident that something serious was going on behind the scenes.
Each year after 1939 (1940, 1941 and 1942) Mrs. Larkin asked permission to resume teaching, but was denied. In response to her request in 1943, the Directors not only refused to grant her permission to teach, but placed her on probation and required her to dissolve her association of pupils, allowing them to apply to other teachers for class teaching. The By-Law in the Manual provides for a three-year period of probation. The three years were up December 31, 1945.
In March 1946, she applied for reinstatement as a teacher. The Board replied with new charges against her, this time as a listed practitioner, and threatened to cancel her Journal card altogether. These charges were also proved to be completely false. Even so, they wrote they were deferring action until January 1947.
In the second and third year following the probation period (1947, 1948) Mrs. Larkin applied again, but to no avail.
In 1948 the two Directors who were of the original three in 1934 who favored the Kimball teaching, passed away within five months of each other.
This message answered the question why the two Directors opposed Mrs. Larkin, — opposition to Mrs. Knott and her effective work with Mrs. Eddy's school. It shows that Mrs. Larkin was not punished for the alleged charges made against her, but was punished and stigmatized to prevent the attainments and influence of Mrs. Knott from continuing in Mrs. Knott's promising pupil.
Both Mr. and Mrs. McKenzie, who were mentioned in the letter, were personal students of Mary Baker Eddy. He was a member of the Board of Directors for ten years. They were supporters of Mrs. Knott, and also of Mrs. Larkin.
Helen France was Mrs. Knott's secretary for fourteen years before Mrs. Knott retired from the Board in 1934. She was employed in The Mother Church administration offices in the late 1930s and 1940s. The "feud" against Mrs. Knott by some of the Directors and workers, was known both on and off the Board of Directors.
During this ten-year period Mrs. Larkin suffered loss of respect from many in her church and community, because it was circulated that she was being officially disciplined for teaching incorrectly. A number of her pupils deserted her. However, even after the probation period was lifted, Mrs. Larkin's classes were always full, as they had been prior to the Board's actions. Mrs. Larkin, like Mrs. Knott before, had been wrongfully persecuted for holding firmly to Mrs. Eddy's school of Christian Science.
TO WHAT DID SHE ATTRIBUTE THE WONDERFUL GROWTH?
Mrs. Eddy attributed the "wonderful growth" of the Church of Christ, Scientist, to the keeping of "the spirit true to the Christian Science doctrine," in accord with the sole purpose of the two deeds of trust. The line on the graph was climbing at a phenomenal angle of growth. To keep it on course required a "monitor more than a master." In 1901 Mrs. Eddy monitored the doctrine. In 1903 she called Mrs. Knott to Boston with the expectation that she could monitor the doctrine in the periodicals and let Mrs. Eddy "step aside." At the conference in 1905 (see page 12 in Part I), Mrs. Eddy made Mrs. Knott, in effect, a monitor-without-title. Mrs. Knott remained faithful to her trust and in 1938 she laid the foundation for a future reformation.
By using the words "future successor," Mrs. Eddy was indicating that after her lifetime, material organization — hierarchy — would continue for a time, but eventually be laid off, followed by a monitor.
She told me that every government, every organization, every institution of whatever kind or nature, to be successful, must have one responsible head.
The word "loyal" appears twenty-one times in the Church Manual by Mary Baker Eddy. In Miscellaneous Writings it appears fifteen times. Loyalty with its unswerving allegiance and faithfulness is essential in Christian Science, but to what or to whom are Christian Scientists to be loyal? It should be remembered that Mrs. Eddy placed the cross and crown seal on all of her writings and on the periodicals. But she never placed it on the Manual. It was placed there six years after Mrs. Eddy's departure by the Directors, strengthening the allegiance of the members to their authority.
In her latter years officials of the church tried "to get Mrs. Eddy to remove her name from [the] Manual in places where her consent was demanded," (see page14, Part I) but she refused. Had she done so she would have in effect made the Directors her successors.
Adherence to the purpose and mission of Mrs. Eddy's two trust deeds and promoting Christ's new name is the mission of the Christian Science Endtime Center.
We are committed to the reversal of the direction of the graph shown on page 1, by promoting and advancing Mrs. Eddy's school of Christian Science teaching and of advancing the recognition of her place in Scriptural prophecy.
Our Center and supporters, carrying on the work of Mrs. Knott and Judge Hanna, must be recognized as the agent for this restoration of the sole mission of the trust deeds. Before Christendom can be classified as Christian Scientists in the United States, Christian Scientists will have to return to Mrs. Eddy's teaching. We cannot be by-passed in the corrective process, for our Center is the only agency which fulfills Mrs. Eddy's predictions for the future "monitor" and rallying point which was to occur after her lifetime.
The Standard which our Center has lifted aloft is that rallying point. Once rallied, the plunge on the graph will necessarily stop and reverse direction.
We are not merely an information group; we are a reformation and restoration group. Christendom has entered a new era in which a higher concept of Christ as revealed to St. John in Revelation as the woman "God-crowned," — the Lamb's wife, "two individual natures in one," — can be understood and accepted. We see no other possible way for Christendom to be classified as Christian Scientists unless there is an awakening and a reformation among the ranks of Christian Scientists. To this end, we are urging Christian Scientists to rally "to lift aloft His standard of Christian Science," 15 that is, to restore the recognition and acceptance of Mrs. Eddy's place in Bible prophecy as the second appearing of Christ, and to restore her teachings, — Christian Science as taught by her in the Massachusetts Metaphysical College in the 1880s.

Three tough tests ahead for the food and drink industry in 2019
Last November reports circulated that the humble Mars Bar saved the UK from a no-deal Brexit catastrophe. According to several newspapers, Michael Gove, Secretary of State for Defra, sounded the alarm after learning that two vital, perishable ingredients used in the manufacture of Mars Bars would be unavailable in the event of no deal.
As it turned out, the story was largely fake news, whipped-up by a Gove SpAd (who has since resigned) as part of Gove's manoeuvring which (almost) saw him end up as Brexit Secretary 3.0.
The story goes to show that the food and drink industry, the largest of all the UK's manufacturing sectors, is right in the thick of it politically, facing a barrage of short and long-term threats across a number of fronts.
Until now, many of these challenges have been bubbling on the horizon, but in 2019 many of these will come into play for real.
Here are the top political and regulatory challenges for food and drink businesses in 2019 that investors should be aware of, and what the sector can do to combat them.
Sustainability – piling the pressure on packaging
Arguably the biggest regulatory headache facing food and drink brands in the UK is sustainability. Environmental regulation has been one of the few hits of post-2015 Tory policy, and it has put the spotlight firmly on those sectors whose processes and products contribute most heavily to environmental issues.
The Autumn Budget introduced a new tax on single-use plastics, which comes into force in 2022 and will apply to all packaging that doesn't include at least 30 per cent recycled content. The government's Waste Reduction Strategy, published in December, also maps out reforms to the Packaging Producer Responsibility System, increasing industry's contribution towards the disposal and management of plastic products.
Much like the sugar levy, both of these measures are aimed at pushing industry to implement more sustainable packaging more quickly, rather than being revenue-raisers in their own right. But any changes enforced on companies operating a global supply chain will cause unwanted hassle and potential price increases for consumers.
Changing the approach to plastics isn't as easy as just cutting back. Cucumbers, for example, get wrapped in 500 tonnes of plastic a year – but removing this would cut their shelf life from two weeks to just three days.
While packaging and plastics are the big issues facing brands, manufacturers and producers have their own challenges. The dairy and farming sectors have come under increased pressure recently for perceived adverse environmental impacts, in particular their contribution to global warming. Despite having made great strides towards cutting their carbon footprints in recent years, eco-conscious consumers are turning away from meat and dairy products, opening up new market opportunities for alternative product categories.
Obesity – the 'big debate' just gets bigger
Few issues touch a cultural nerve more regularly and deeply than the 'obesity debate.' While rates of smoking and drinking have dipped in recent years, obesity is on the rise. Not many weeks go by without front-page splashes on the spiralling obesity crisis, particularly amongst young people.
Pre-2013, the food and drink sector's relationship with the Department of Health was relatively rosy – the Responsibility Deal included voluntary targets, set by industry and government, but was seen as too lenient.
Since the inception of Public Health England and the ramping up of campaign groups like Action on Sugar, pressure has mounted on manufacturers and retailers alike to reformulate products and change advertising practices.
The marquee policy to-date has been the introduction of the soft drinks levy, but 2019 and 2020 will see a new wave of additional responsibilities for food and drink, including cutting sugar by 20 per cent by 2020, the restriction of the advertisement of HFSS products on certain TV slots, and the removal of supermarket promotions such as 2-for-1 deals.
If the sector fails to achieve the reformulation targets set by PHE, mooted expansion of the sugar tax to include puddings, milkshakes and fruit juice is a very real possibility.
Decisions about how deep the interventions from government will be on obesity-reduction will be as much about the politics as the evidence. While there is a vociferous anti-sugar campaign, backed by a cross-party group of prominent MPs, there is equally a backlash to the nanny-stateism implications of PHE's policy programme.
Matt Hancock, the prevention-mad Health Secretary, has recently described his desire to move away from population-wide interventions (including minimum alcohol unit pricing) and target interventions at those who need them most. Positive signs for the sector, but as ever the proof of the pudding will be in the eating.
Brexit – food and drink feels the brunt of political uncertainty
Not many industries can claim to be unaffected by Brexit. But neither can many say they would be as deeply or swiftly affected as the food and drink sector.
The sector has always been unanimously clear that any potential Brexit scenario offers an inferior option to the status quo of EU membership. Food and drink trade is unique, with perishable products often needing to be consumed within days of importing and therefore any changes in trading terms which lead to border delays would be catastrophic.
Pragmatically, the industry is now pushing for future trade alignment and market access as close as possible to the status quo, but as time ticks by the reality of a no-deal is leading retailers and producers to plan for the worst. Many businesses are already beginning to stockpile ingredients and products and prepare for potentially extreme volatilities in the price of butter, milk and other daily essentials.
What would be even worse for UK business would be non-reciprocation on tariffs in order to keep supermarket prices low. EU tariffs on food and drink are up to 90% in some cases, and UK exporters could be left high and dry if the UK chooses not to impose similar tariffs on EU goods.
The government's Immigration White Paper also creates unique challenges for the food and drink sector, which relies often on European labour for seasonal or short-term work and is already experiencing a workforce deficit. If the government sticks to its preferred approach of prioritising high-skilled foreign workers, the challenges will only mount.
Looking forward, even in a best-case scenario new foreign trade deals would spell trouble for some parts of the sector.
For example, trade with America, Australia and New Zealand might entail cheaper imports, creating new competition for the UK market. Still, there is no doubt that UK food and drink has the potential to thrive in global markets and exporters have had growing success in Asia and Africa in recent years – but support (financial and strategic) from the Department of International Trade will be essential.
Despite these challenges, it's worth remembering this is an industry growing, innovating and investing all the time. Last year Britvic, Diageo and Muller all made new capital investments of more than £50, million, and they are not alone.
What is more, there is a balance of views both within government and politics more broadly, and the food and drink sector is not without its supporters. Engaging these supporters and bringing them out to bat on each of the issues impacting the industry will be a significant factor in the industry's success in 2019 and beyond.

You only have to watch the advert breaks during a TV football match to know that all online bookmakers run promotions and offers especially for new customers.
Having so many different offers around, however, can make things quite confusing and that's why we've put together this page – our take on the best free bets and new player welcome bonuses.
Bookmakers offer free bets to encourage potential punters to choose their betting site over their many competitors.
Free bets are also a good way to reward existing users of a site for their custom and to prevent them from leaving and choosing to bet elsewhere.
Free bets available for certain bet types or on specific markets are a good way to introduce punters to new ways of betting or new events to bet on and may persuade them to bet real money on those markets or types of wager in future.
By offering free bets, bookmakers can keep their customers happy and ensure that they are well reviewed and rated by those customers.
Now that you've seen what we think are the top new customer offers around and have an idea of why bookmakers run those promotions, it's time to dig a little deeper into exactly how the different promotions work. Every individual offer is a little different but generally speaking the new customer promotions on the market fit into the following four main categories.
A type of new player bonus which is more commonly offered to new online casino players rather than new online bookmaker customers, a deposit bonus is a promotion which provides bonus funds based on the size of a customer's first deposit. These types of promotion often provide a bonus equal to the value of a customer's first deposit with a new betting site and so can be called a 'matched deposit bonus' or a '100% matched deposit bonus'. Some versions of the offer, however, provide a bonus worth more than the initial deposit and others provide bonus funds worth a certain lower percentage of the deposit.
Whatever the exact nature of a deposit bonus, there will be a maximum bonus amount imposed upon the offer and the bonus paid will likely be paid in the form of bonus funds. What that means is that the funds cannot be withdrawn and instead must be used to place further bets through the sportsbook running the promotion. Bonus funds, too, can be subject to wagering requirements which mean that punters must stake a certain amount (usually expressed as a multiple of the initial bonus amount) before they're able to make any withdrawal.
Bet and get style bonuses are perhaps the most common types of promotion run by online bookmakers. They are offers which provide one or more free bets to those new customer who place an initial, qualifying bet with a betting company.
In order to be classed as a qualifying bet, a punter's first wager with a new company usually has to be worth at least a minimum stake amount, be placed at a certain minimum price (evens, 2/1 etc.) and be placed within a certain amount of time after account registration. Some bookmakers, too, will require that an initial bet be place only on certain sports or markets.
If a qualifying bet is placed, bet and get style promotions will then credit a punter's account with free bets as stipulated by the individual offer. There are usually a handful of restrictions as to which markets free bets are eligible to be used for and generally speaking, winnings resulting from the use of free bets will not include a return of the stake.
Risk free bet promotions are very similar to bet and get offers in that they provide one or more free bets if an eligible punter places an initial qualifying bet which adheres to the same kind of criteria mentioned above. Where they differ, however, is that they only provide those free bets as a refund of an initial stake if the qualifying bet is a losing one. Once again, any free bets which are credited will be valid only for certain bet types and winnings will be exclusive of the initial free bet stake.
A type of offer usually linked to a major sporting event, enhanced odds promotions give new customers the chance to bet on a popular team or competitor at odds far in excess of those available to other customers. An interesting promotion alternative, these offers generally cap the total benefit which the enhanced odds are able to provide to a customer and of course, provide no benefit if the backed selection doesn't win.
Deposit Restrictions – The vast majority of new customer promotions will determine that customers funding their accounts via certain deposit methods are not eligible for bonuses. Excluded deposit methods are usually e-wallet style clients, such as Neteller or Skrill. Deposit bonus style promotions, too, will usually require that a punter's first deposit exceeds a certain minimum amount and will match the bonus provided – in one way or another – to the size of that deposit.
Qualifying Bet Criteria – Bet & Get, Risk Free Bet and other promotion types which require a punter to initially place a bet before receiving their bonus will have a number of criteria which determine whether a bet can qualify for that free bet bonus. Such criteria generally include the overall value of the bet, the odds of the bet, the type of bet (single, multiple etc.) and the market on which the bet is placed.
Wagering Requirements – New player promotions which provide bonus funds will generally attach wagering requirements to those funds. Those requirements will stipulate that a punter must bet a certain amount after receiving the funds, before they are able to make any withdrawal. Usually the amount required to be wagered is set as a multiple of the initial bonus amount (i.e. three times) and the requirements generally have to be met within a certain time frame.
Free Bet Validity – Promotions which provide free bets will generally imposes limits as to how and when those free bets can be redeemed. Almost all free bets must be used within a certain time limit and other important things to look out for are which markets and bet types free bets are eligible for, whether free bets must be used in their entirety and whether they can be placed via mobile devices.
Geographical Restrictions – Across all different styles of promotion, geographical restrictions can be imposed as to which punters are eligible to take part in those promotions. Many new customer offers are limited to only UK or Ireland residents, whilst some others will have a list of excluded territories included within their terms and conditions.

Lead Stories Summer Sermon Series 2018 gives you an opportunity to hear some of the premiere voices from women in ministry and leadership today. Today's guest is Keisha Polonio, Associate Director at Tampa Underground in Tampa, FL. Keisha is an powerful and engaging speaker as well as a gifted storyteller. Listen as she talks about prayer being "breath to our souls". Exhaling our fears, our dreams, our wants and inhaling the Lord's peace, his plans and hope for us and the world around us.
Lead Stories Summer Sermon Series 2018 gives you an opportunity to hear some of the premiere voices from women in ministry and leadership today. This episode features a sermon recently given by Stephanie at Mill City Church as part of a series called Pick Your Battles.
Stephanie begins this important conversation by noting that we sometimes focus on picking the battles that are in front of our face -our personal lives, our work lives or political spheres - forgetting that what is really going on is a deep spiritual battle that is perhaps unseen but has deep and very real ramifications. Listen as Stephanie brings clarity to some of the mysteries of Spiritual Warfare.
Ending Season 4, Jo and Steph discuss what will be happening over the summer on LeadStories and also what they personally and professionally will be up to. Listen in to hear Jo's writing soundtrack and snack, and all about the Ezer Collective, an exciting space coming in the Fall, especially for women who lead. And when we say 'women who lead' we mean, any woman who has influence in any sphere!
How did Jesus engage with and use the authority and power that He was given? In this episode, Jo and Steph highlight key passages in the Bible which show Jesus' attitudes and practices of power.
3 temptations of Appetite, Approval and Ambition are explored further in 'Multiplying Missional Leaders' by Mike Breen.
1) Jesus' main goal was to release His disciples. Have you ever struggled with releasing those under you? Why?
2) Which temptation of power do you struggle with most: appetite, ambition or approval?
3) What is the main goal of your leadership?
Have you ever found yourself breaking a mold and you didn't even mean to? Have found yourself having a conversation and thinking that something was a given and realize that it wasn't? Jo and Steph talk about what happens when we find ourselves breaking molds and how we can respond accordingly.
1) Discuss a time when you unintentionally broke a mold by something you said or did.
2) Where do you need to make some changes to adjust to breaking a mold? Is there shrapnel that you need to spend some time removing and healing from?
3) Who do you need to reconnect with (people or God) after breaking a mold?
Mandy Smith, the Lead Pastor of University Christian Church in Cincinnati is chatting with Steph today about what it looks like for her to be the only female Lead Pastor in her denomination. Discussing both the external and internal hurdles to stepping into leadership, Mandy and Steph share from their different perspectives as an introvert and extrovert.
Mandy's latest book is out now: The Vulnerable Pastor: How human limitations empower our ministry.
1) Have you spent time personally pouring over scripture to come to your personal convictions about women in leadership?
2) What do you perceive to be the weaknesses of your personality/gender and where could they be inhabited by God's strength?
3) What ways can you identify that male and female leaders speak different languages? How can you better learn the language of the other gender?
Lisa Harper is discussing how a failure to understand the context in which the Bible was written - by writers under oppression - has warped our understanding of what the Bible says and what Good News truly is.
Join Jo and Steph as they chat to Lisa about how the Gospel can be good news to all people - not just those who are in positions of power.
1) How does knowing that the Bible was written by individuals under oppression change how you see the Good News?
2) Where have you allowed your understanding of the image of God to be limited to just a certain people group?
Dominique Gilliard the director of racial righteousness and reconciliation shares ways that the church needs to rethink its attitude to the criminal justice system and incarceration. With some horrifying statistics and also some hope-filled testimonies and practical ways churches can make a change, this podcast will change the way you see those who are and have been incarcerated and equip you to be part of the change.
2) prison ministry: go behind the walls and see for ourselves.
3) walk alongside those who have lost family members to incarceration.
4) aid the reentry process: disciple, support and walk alongside those who have left prison and use networks to help find employment opportunities.
5) extend our definition of family to include foster care children who need care and love especially over the holiday seasons.
1) How does your attitude towards those who have been incarcerated change when you consider the number of key biblical characters who spent time behind bars?
2) Of the 5 practical ways mentioned that churches can get involved in change, is your church engaged in any? Which one could be the first step?
3) How has your perspective on the criminal justice system changed through listening to this podcast?

Q: How to view complete commits when tracking history of a single file in Git? I have a Git repository with about a two years of history in it. I have single file in it, for which I wish to find all the commits, and for each commit: all the other files that were committed in it. Let's assume this file is named file.txt. I can run gitk with this file as argument:
gitk file.txt

and I do get each commit. However, browsing that tree in gitk only shows changes done to file.txt. I'd like to see what other files were changed in that commit. I can copy paste each commit SHA1 and display it, but there are over hundred of commits related to this file.
I notice that "comments" section in bottom-right part of screen is empty (only shows text "Comments"). Maybe a list of files could be shown there?

A: Another solution from the mailing list dated far back in 2008:

Try turning off the option "Limit diffs to listed paths" in the
  preferences menu (or adding "set limitdiffs 0" to your ~/.gitk).

A: In the command line,
git log -p --full-diff file.txt

will output what you want.
If you must see it in gitk, invoke it with no arguments, find commit "touching path" file.txt, and the commit contains that file will be bold. And you can use the "up" and "down" buttons to traverse through it.

A: You can actually have '--full-diff' functionality in gitk, just not directly from the command line.
Just do the following:

*

*Start gitk the usual way, e.g.: gitk file.txt

*Select 'View -> Edit view...' from the menu. Verify that you are editing the 'Command line' view.

*In the edit box next to "Additional arguments to git log", type --full-diff

*Click "Apply" or hit [F5].

That should do it. Why gitk doesn't allow you to use this from the command line is a mystery to me, for it is a very useful option.

This user listener generates a `gpiiKey` based on a "user id" from the Operating System, specified
by the `userIdSource` value in the site config, which can be one of the following values:

## `username`

The `gpiiKey` is derived from the username of the active Windows account (the value of `os.userInfo().username`).

## `userid`

The [security identifier](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/win32/secauthz/security-identifiers) (SID)
of the user is used to generate the `gpiiKey`.

For example, `S-1-5-21-3156860277-1528178154-708479448-1001`. The SID of the current user can be looked up
using `whoami /user`.

## `reg:PATH`

Take a value from the registry, at the location specified with `PATH`. For example:
`reg:HKLM\SOFTWARE\LoginApp\userID`

Some deployments do not use the Windows login account to differentiate users - where the machine has a single
login, and there's a custom mechanism for users to log into the computer.

## `regkey:PATH`

Like `reg:PATH`, but the value in the registry is used as the raw `gpiiKey`, rather than it being "signed" by
the Windows service. `:PATH` can be omitted to use the default of `HKCU\SOFTWARE\Morphic\gpiiKey`.

## `file:PATH`

Like `reg:PATH`, but it reads the content of a file, pointed to by `PATH` for the `gpiiKey`.
For example: `file:c:\windows\somefile.txt`

Bodybuilding star, Shawn Rhoden charged with first-degree rape in Utah, US
Bodybuilding star and Mr. Olympia winner, Shawn Rhoden, has been charged with first-degree rape in Utah, U.S.
The 44-year-old is accused of sexually assaulting a female bodybuilder inside of a Courtyard Marriott hotel room back in October.
The alleged victim had tried to stop Rhoden — pushing him away and ordering him to stay back — but Rhoden was too strong.
The woman told cops that he eventually got off of her and allowed her to leave, the documents said. She then went to the police and immediately reported the alleged incident.

What does Vic Hurlbert and Barack Obama have in common?
They both are bad liars.
Vic Hurlbert is showing his true colors with last minute mailers that present easily disprovable outright lies about his opponent Noel Shull. I present to you one of Mr. Hulbert's most recent mailers.
This stems from the problem with Mr. Shull's Midwest Democracy Survey. Hurlbert cites an image of survey results from the Midwest Democracy Project on May 14, 2012, they are posted on his website.
Here is a screen shot of it in case Vic tries to take it down.
Unfortunately, what Vic is not doing is telling you the truth. Here is what happened. The incredibly talented folks down at the falling Star originally posted the wrong survey responses for Shull. Unfortunately, they didn't catch it in time and Mr. Hurlbert printed the original survey responses they posted. This is what you see above. This is why Hurlbert has tried to call Mr. Shull a flip-flopper on his Twitter feed. The current survey results don't even mention voter id. Neither do Mr. Hurlbert's nor Mr. Shull's individual survey responses.
Here is a current screen shot of the race comparison from Midwest Democracy Project.
Does Vic Hurlbert have the decency to tell you the truth? No, of course not. Character is not a word in his vocabulary.
Need proof Mr. Hurlbert is lying?
From the falling Star Wednesday August 1st.
From Mr. Shull's Facebook Page, posted June 16th.
Another mailer that Mr. Hurlbert sent out continues to perpetuate this outright lie.
Oh, so let me get this straight? It is bad for Mr. Shull to support Ed Quick who is a Democrat, but it is okay for Vic Hurlbert and Pam Mason to endorse a Democrat (Cathy Rinehart) who cost the county over a million dollars in sexual harassment lawsuits.
I want you to think long and hard about this. Do you really want Vic Hurlbert in Jefferson City making decisions about your government (schools, roads, social services, etc.) when he will so blatantly lie to the people of his own party?
Noel Shull supports voter photo id. Vic Hurlbert is a liar. Make your choice accordingly.
Ah, yes, it's that time again. We now turn to our newest episode of the Clay County political soap opera As Clay County Turns. I swear, this stuff writes itself.
In the primary race for the Democrats we have Tom Brandom vs. Cathy Rinehart. If that name sounds familiar, it is probably because of the fact that she cost the citizens of Clay County over $800,000 in sexual harassment lawsuits inside of the County Assessor's office. If you have been perusing my meanderings for some time, you may remember this piece on Ms. Rinehart.
The real interesting part of our story actually falls on the Republican side. The two candidates in the race are Phil Wilson and Donald Jobe.
Phil Wilson is a stellar Republican candidate, especially considering that he used to be a Democrat. I came across some very interesting information. It appears that Phil Wilson ran as a Democrat in 1994 and 1998 for Recorder of Deeds. In 1996 he ran for County Treasurer. What may be most intriguing about this race is who was running on the Republican ticket. It was Debra Hurlbert. Now that name should sound familiar because at this point in time Debra Hurlbert is Vic Hurlbert's husband wife. Update 3/26: An anonymous comment was posted this morning correcting my typo here. Maybe it was Pam Mason… Politics hasn't worked out so well for her, so maybe she's trying her hand at editing my blog. Oh, and about that anonymous commenting stuff, tired of it. I've never been afraid of the things I've said, nor am I afraid of the things I might say. If I'm wrong, I correct it. So, you have something to say going forward, own it with a real name and a real email. Otherwise, move on about your day.
You may be asking yourself why that matters? It is my belief that Phil Wilson is friends with Vic Hurlbert and is running to cause Donald Jobe trouble. I suspect this was the same tactic used in 1996 with Hurlbert's then wife running for office. This is not an uncommon tactic of Mr. Hurlbert's. You may be asking yourself why would that matter. A couple of reasons, first, Donald Jobe is Cathy Rinehart's ex-husband. (There is a real interesting story there as well.) The other reason, and the one that I think proves my point, is the fact that Cathy Rinehart, Vic Hurlbert, and Pam Mason are friends and this is probably intended to help Ms. Rinehart should Phil Wilson win the Republican ticket (I said you can't make this stuff up.) What is my proof? Well, photographs are always nice.
In addition to specializing in office mismanagement that lead to large sexual harassment payouts, our dear friend Cathy Rinehart owns a small business here in Clay County called Hodge-Podge. I hear that Hodge-Podge may be no more, but I am not sure.
Hodge-Podge is(was?) located at 3746 NE Winn Rd. in Kansas City.
I spy with my little eye a Pam Mason for Commissioner sign! Now these pictures were taken before the 2010 elections. We have a significant problem here. Pam Mason (an alleged Republican) signs inside of the store that is owned by Cathy Rinehart (a Democrat who has cost the county $800,000)? Well, I guess it is just one of those things that make you go hmmmm…..
It gets even more interesting. It has long been a theory of mine that Vic Hurlbert was responsible for the candidacy of our former Clay County Auditor William James Norris. I heard a new theory yesterday. Is it possible that Cathy Rinehart was responsible for William James Norris? Either way, Hurlbert and Mason probably knew something about William Norris' candidacy although they deny it. More photos for your viewing pleasure, both are from property surrounding Hodge-Podge.
So, is it definitive proof, no, but is it really good circumstantial evidence, definitely. Add in the fact that I have been told by several Clay County insiders that Mason and Hurlbert have been friends with Rinehart for some time. I don't doubt my accusations. It may be more accurate to call these three "Republicrats." Whatever the case, it is not about principles, it is not about party, it is not about the county and community they live in, it is about one thing and one thing only, THEM.
For your further viewing pleasure. Here is a 31-page word document complete with numerous KC Star articles about Phil Wilson's past adventures for office. And a pdf file that shows Phil Wilson as a Democrat Central Committeeman.
I will be voting for Donald Jobe in the Republican primary. He is definitely the better of the two candidates. Add in the fact that he is actually a certified residential appraiser and I think you have a decent candidate, far better than anything that Phil Wilson will be bringing to the table. Democrats would be wise to vote Tom Brandom in their primary and get rid of the $800,000 sexual harassment suit extraordinaire Cathy Rinehart.

Petronautic, as ship brokers keep long-lasting contacts with many yards inside Russia, Ukraine and other countries. Under involvement of brokers presently with Petronautic over 250 shiphulls, barges, pontoons and turn-key vessels have been built there mainly for export to Western Europe. Our good relations with many ship design bureaus support successful materialization of shipbuilding contracts. Under involvement of Petronautic brokers over 40 new ships have been built at foreign shipyards and imported into Russia, mainly tugboats, dredgers and reefer vessels. Special segment of company activity is dredging equipment (all types of dredgers, split-hopper barges, DOP pumps for soil dredging, etc.) and also jack-up barges.

This is So beyond the pale! This HAS to STOP! Fire Sessions, Rosenstien & Mueller. This is NOT the way that justice is supposed to happen in this country! The establishment is pissed that the people didn't vote the way they wanted it, so now they are abusing the authority of the fbi and the justice department to overturn the results of an election they didn't like. This should be treated for what it is, it is an attempted "coup"! Everyone involved in this coup attempt needs to be identified and prosecuted.
Today we debate whether the unconscionable decision by Robert Mueller to commission the seizure of privileged communications between President Trump and his lawyer Michael Cohen is related to the neocon roar for war with Russia over the alleged chemical attack in Syria.

SOSF scientist Alison Kock promotes great white sharks on CNN
View the clip on CNN here.
On the sea before first light and spotting great white sharks by dawn, Alison Kock, is dedicating her life to studying the mysteries behind the great white shark. Earlier this week CNN's Anderson Cooper joined Alison for the day to film her at work and to learn what scientists know and don't know about these vulnerable creatures. The footage, broadcast later that night on CNN, is part of a two hour special called Planet in Peril: Battle Lines, which is due to air in December this year. The program will show how humans are using their natural resources: the problems, conflicts and successes.
Through her research with the Save Our Seas Foundation (SOSF) Alison has tagged more than 70 great white sharks and identified more than 300 since 2004, providing the only source of scientific information on white shark activity and behaviour patterns in Cape Town. She aims to change both the media and the general public's perceptions about great white sharks and gather more data, which will be used in the conservation management of this unique species.
Cooper was treated to a full day of predator-prey interactions, where they witnessed a total of 23 attempted and successful attacks by great whites on Cape fur seals off Seal Island in False Bay. They had nine different great whites approach the boat and Alison successfully tagged a 3.20 m female with an acoustic pinger, whose movements in these waters will now be tracked. The CNN reporter highlighted the need for continued research and emphasized that a better understanding of these apex predator's movements and behaviour is essential for their protection.

Exercise prescription helps with COPD
Darlene Hawkins power walks 30 minutes straight, and can leg press more than a lot of men she knows.
But four months ago, she could barely climb stairs. A run for the bus led to a scary episode.
"I was wheezing so badly that everyone on the bus told me to take a seat. They also told me not to die on the bus, and make them late for work," said Hawkins.
Darlene used to smoke. Recently, doctors diagnosed her with chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder or COPD. It's when tobacco smoke or pollution inflame the airways.
"And this inflammation narrows the airways, and leads to the breathlessness that these patients commonly present with," said Dr. Cooper, UCLA Medical Center.
Traditional treatment involves breathing meds and in-hospital rehab programs. Now, researchers at UCLA have put together a scientific exercise prescription they're sharing with local gyms.
"It is very clear that regular exercise and training for people with COPD is life saving," said Thomas Storer, PhD., UCLA exercise physiologist.
Darlene Hawkins meets with her trainer Trent Mitchell for 20 sessions. After every meeting, he sends notes to UCLA.
Once a month, she gets her lung function assessed. She saw results early on.
"That's what was amazing it didn't take that long to improve," said Hawkins.
Experts say exercise doesn't grow more airways, but it improves muscle strength and circulation. This helps take the burden off of the lungs during exertion.
"The muscle is getting bigger and getting better blood supply. It improves its ability to take up oxygen and generate the energy that is required," said Storer.
Today Darlene can run up stairs without missing a beat.
"The last time I took the Redline to Civic Center, instead of taking the escalator, I took the steps. I made it to the top without a single stop," said Hawkins.
Breathe L.A. is sponsoring the three month study. Patients are also encouraged to eat lots of fruits and vegetables and less carbohydrates.
Dr. Cooper says carbs generate carbon dioxide when it breaks down and that can put an extra burden on the lungs.

There comes a time, usually about three days before the end of term, when the energy levels finally dip and the creative juices begin to dry up. In such circumstances, I usually find solace in the talents of others, so for this week's blog I offer a selection of the best one-liners from the comedian Tim Vine. He held the world record for over ten years for telling the most number of jokes in an hour – 499, apparently – and I think he is a genuine comic genius. I can't remember more than about two jokes at any one time, so quite how he manages it, I don't know; but I'm very glad he does.
At today's celebration assemblies, I gave the children a clear example of why the world of stand-up comedy has been blessed by my perpetual absence, when I gave them forty of my favourite of his jokes as my parting gift for the festive season. Some may be remembered for the Christmas dinner table, but I'm guessing many will not; so with due acknowledgement to Mr Vine, I hope these cheer you up amidst all the uncertainty and confusion swirling around us just now.
I've just been on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday. I'll tell you what — never again.
I had a dream last night that I was cutting carrots with the Grim Reaper... dicing with death.
I rang up my local swimming baths. I said, "Is that the local swimming baths?" He said, "It depends where you're calling from."
So I said to the gym instructor, "Can you teach me to do the splits?" He said, "How flexible are you?" I said, "I can't do Tuesdays."
When I left home, my mum said, "Don't forget to write." I thought, that's unlikely – it's a basic skill, isn't it?
Velcro... what a rip-off.
So I said to this train driver, "I want to go to Paris." He said, "Eurostar?" I said, "I've been on telly but I'm no Dean Martin."
I got rid of my old hoover last week; it was just collecting dust.
Dot, dot, dot. Dash, dash, dash. I really regret that – remorse code.
This bloke said to me, he said, "I live in the sky with a Swiss clock." I said, "You're in cloud cuckoo land."
Exit signs, they're on the way out.
So I went to my GP and said, "I feel like I've been hit on the head by a set of bongos." He said, "You've probably got a slight percussion."
I went to the head office of the RSPCA today. It's absolutely tiny – you couldn't swing a cat in there.
I refuse to work in a coal mine – it's beneath me.
I went on holiday with my horse – it was self-cantering.
Conjuring – that should do the trick.
McDonald's was broken into twice today. It was a double cheese burglary.
I can't remember my homing pigeon's name, but I'm sure it will come back to me.
This bloke said to me, he said, "You look like a medieval string instrument." I said, "Are you calling me a lyre?"
I fell in love with a clumsy cleaner. She swept me off my feet.
I'll tell you what often gets overlooked – garden fences.
She said, "I'm going to dig a hole in the ground and fill it with water." I thought, she means well.
I took my mum to the hospital. The doctor said, "What happened?" I said, "A row of books fell off the wall and landed on her head." He said, "You've only got your shelf to blame."
So this cowboy walked into a German car showroom. He said, "Audi."
I don't do jokes about graphic designers. I draw a line at that.
I don't do jokes about an elephant that's packed its trunk and said goodbye to the circus. Not on your Nelly.
I don't do jokes about a wooden step in the corner of a field that doesn't belong to me. That's not my style.
So I went down to the local casino. I said, "My girlfriend has just fallen asleep in the middle of a game of cards." He said, "Poker?" I said, "Good idea."
My dog always misinterprets things I say to him. I say 'heel' and he goes down to the local hospital and does what he can.
So I went down the local shop. I said, "I'm looking for a sailor with one arm." He said, "It's not me – I'm a wholesaler."
At least Eurostar is comfortable – it's murder on the Orient Express.
I see the moving staircase debate is escalating.
Sherlock Holmes kept following me, so I wrote him a letter: "Dear Stalker..."
I saw this man acting suspiciously next to Mount Everest. I said, "What have you been up to?" He said, "8,000 feet."
I saw this bloke and he was shouting out, "Lambs for sale – were £10, now £5." I thought, that's sheep at half the price.
So I said to this bloke, "Did you know that Marie Osmond is about to appear in the world's worst film?" He said, "Warner Brothers?" I said, "I already have."
This Roman emperor said to me, he said, "What's the weather like?" I said, "Hail, Caesar."
The school I went to was a picture made of coloured paper and seashells stuck on with glue. It was a sixth form collage.
Crime in multi-storey car parks. That is wrong on so many levels.
This bloke said to me, he said, "I'm a herald angel." I thought, ooh, hark at him.


And some local ladies had a close shave when this tree demolished a car.
Mrs Janetta King of Waterfoot Carradale and her three other lady friends had a lucky escape today.Having just finished coffee and snacks in the local Network tearoom and about to go out to the car when there was a almighty crash as a large part of a adjacent tree fell on and demolished her car.
The photos show the car after the heavy branches were cut back but the damage was done,windscreen,sunroof and rear windows smashed and roof buckled,passenger side door window and door mangled.Thankfully chatting a little bit longer in the tearoom saved someone or all of them from serious injuries as glass was everywhere and a large branch sticking through the passenger door.Talking to Janetta afterwards still a bit shocked, she said it was like a slow motion as it dropped onto the car.


I'm shocked by this announce. Do you know the reason why he died? You can respond in private if you wish.
I'm shocked too, I didn't heard about this tragic event until your post, mostly because I was on holiday with my family.
I met him at Debconf7 in Edi, and I still remeber perfectly a chat between us.
Even if his family didn't know me, please tell them that another debian-enthusiast guy will miss him.

Port Call Optimization
A reliable port always looks for the most optimal solutions for their port calls. As the global supply chain develops and changes, seaports need to ensure that supply and demand are met. Port call optimization is the first step toward a future of resilience and sustainability for the maritime industry.
What is port call optimization?

When managing a supply chain, increasing efficiency is always at the core of all strategies. In fact, it can be said that the goal of supply chain management is optimization. As an important part of the maritime supply chain, the port call process also requires similar attention and effort.
In short, port call optimization is the effort of various stakeholders and actors involved, made with the purpose of maximizing the utilization of resources while minimizing waste. The advantages that a successful optimization strategy bring are manifold, from environmental benefits to cost and fuel saving. It is no wonder why the parties involved would always try to devise the ideal strategy for port call optimization.
However, in reality, there is no one ideal path toward the optimization of the port call process. Each party has a different priority and thus a different approach toward what they consider to be optimized. Furthermore, depending on whether the focus is on the operation of the port, the terminal or the ship, the solutions will also look different. On top of that, every port and/or ship will have their own approach and processes that need to be considered.
Port call is a highly collaborative process, and optimizing this process requires even more collaboration. However, the reality is that there is no centralized coordination among those involved in the port call. Standardization would be of significant value in optimization, but it is hard to achieve. That said, continuous improvement and innovation is still incredibly important for the industry to move forward and prevent stagnation, especially in the face of increasing demand and environmental challenges.
In port call optimization, it is important to understand the different perspectives that need to be taken into account. The type of trade and whether it is a spot or liner business will influence what decisions are to be made. Schedules, the charterparty and even trading opportunities might drive the optimal outcome in very different ways, and it is essential to consider everything thoroughly.
Why does port call optimization matter?
1. Increase predictability
Traditionally, ports operate on a first-come first-served basis. Nowadays, the demand for emission reduction and the need to increase efficiency require a better approach in planning. Predictability is the first key aspect that needs to be improved in order to realize just-in-time shipping.
Just-in-time (JIT) is a concept that has revolutionized the supply chain in the modern age. In the maritime industry, it has always been a particularly difficult initiative which promises great change and improvement when successful. Predictability is the foundation on which JIT is built, the first step in optimizing port calls. The ability to accurately anticipate vessels' arrivals will increase the synchronization of the interaction between port and ship. A synchronized operation is undoubtedly beneficial for all parties involved, as it would reduce much of the costly waiting time that plagues the industry.
2. Reducing CO2 emissions; Eco speed sailing
Environmental impact is one of the biggest drivers of port call optimization. Climate change has been a global concern for quite a while, with more and more regulations coming into play for various sectors. The maritime industry is no exception to this, so businesses would need to adapt quickly in order to remain both sustainable and competitive.
In terms of port calls, delays greatly affect fuel consumption and thus emissions. Every hour a ship remains idle in port, it loses an hour of steaming time and therefore must sail faster to maintain its schedule. While the speed difference is ultimately marginal, it typically has a significant impact on a vessel's fuel consumption and greatly increases emissions. In order to avoid this, it is important to achieve JIT and employ eco speed sailing. The sailing speed would constantly adjust to fit the situation and minimize waiting time, helping both ship and port to avoid wasting necessary resources.
3. Shorter port stay
Ever since the summer of 2020, the shortage in port infrastructure has urged the industry to find solutions to optimize port operations (Lind et al., 2021). Disruptions and uncertainties can easily cause congestion, forcing vessels to remain much longer than anticipated. This heavily affects cargo flow, and a single incident would cause a chain reaction where one delay would lead to the next. Thus, it is incredibly important to shorten port stay and reduce the burden on port infrastructure and labor.
4. Exposure of risks
Businesses in the maritime industry constantly face risks from different sources. The goal of many organizations in the industry is to mitigate these risks and ensure smooth financial performance. However, the constant exposure to disruptions and unpredictable events which cause delays means that it is very difficult to maintain control.
In the process of port call, waiting is itself a risk. When a ship is idle, the use of assets and resources of the ship would be inefficient. With each inefficiency, another cost arises, exposing the operation to potential financial troubles. Worst of all is when the disruption of ship operations e.g. directly affects production such as steel plants. In cases like these, the financial impact would undoubtedly be enormous.
5. Digitalization and data-driven
Due to their complexity, port operations produce enormous amounts of data. Digitalization is necessary to ensure that these data would be recorded and utilized effectively. Having high quality information is a powerful advantage, a fact that has become especially true in this data-driven digital age.
Broadly speaking, digitalization is a much needed first step in changing the industry for the better. In practice, this initiative relies heavily on quality data and the ability to turn these data into useful insights. Digitizing data is necessary to improve synchronization and information access, all of which would impact the overall efficiency of operations and decision-making. Furthermore, when considering the human factor, digitalization is especially necessary in assisting agents and operators with maintaining their control and mitigating possible errors.
A deep dive into the port call process
1. The process
In theory, the port call is a straightforward process. We have a vessel approaching. It has a port stay, doing cargo operations, and then it's leaving the port. With such an explanation, it is difficult to fully grasp the complexity of a port call. In practice, port calls require a high level of collaboration and alignment between many different actors.
At its core, a port call is the interaction between a vessel and the port. The process begins right at the nautical procedures, where pilots and boatmen need to ensure that the vessel is safely secured. Cargo inspections, including surveys, occur along these operations. An entire terminal exchange takes place among the various activities.
The port call process is not linear, and each actor is constantly executing a different task at the same time. At any given moment, up to 28 actors could be engaging in the process. The scheduling and planning of a port call can also look different. Liner services have fixed schedules and rotations, whereas in spot, the schedule is dependent on individual contracts between the charterer, shipowner and the terminal. Adding to the complexity of the process, vessels also need to be reported 24 hours in advance to be allowed in the port.
In a port call, each party has their own priorities which may overlap. Ports look for opportunities to expand the flexibility in planning, while shipping lines are concerned with utilizing ship resources efficiently. Both parties are constrained by each other's schedules. Different ports are also not managed the same way, making standardizing difficult and requiring other parties to adapt.
2. The challenges
On top of possible complications due to all the variables involved, the port call process also faces many challenges when it comes to optimization. Looking at the industry, it is possible to identify what needs to be addressed in order to achieve optimization:
Limited digitalization
Digitalization is a necessary and inevitable part of the maritime industry's progress. In broad terms, digitalization is the solution for much of the trouble concerning inefficiency in the port call process. Despite this, digitalization remains limited in the maritime sector.
The industry processes enormous physical volumes, but in reality, the number of port calls is low with a merchant fleet of 54.000 and 4.2 million port calls annually. In many cases, excel sheets and even a white board are still the main tools for planning and communications. The rapid changes in the industry demand operators to coordinate efficiently, and staying reliant on traditional methods would hinder optimization efforts.
Limited standardization
Limited standardization means that the use of external data in processes is risky and cumbersome. The use requires awareness of the different interpretations and requires translation and/or mapping. For instance: what does ETA mean, is it an ETA-port, ETA-pilot boarding place, ETA berth or any of the other options?
Low data availability
Limited digitalization and standardization means that the data necessary to facilitate optimization is often also unavailable, resulting in an inability to share information. Data availability is a significant bottleneck in the port call optimization process, highlighting the necessity to digitize procedures in the industry.
Reluctance to share data
Also relating to the limited progress in digitalization, vital information is not always easily accessible due to their lack of digital availability. Operators and agents most commonly coordinate their activities through phone calls, documents, and emails. In between these efforts, information is not updated in real-time nor is it available to every relevant stakeholders. The disconnect in information sharing makes it difficult to coordinate and leads to more inefficiency.
On top of the digital unavailability of information, there is also the challenge of reluctance in data sharing. For many in the maritime industry, the data they hold could be their business advantage. There are many complications that could arise in the process of data sharing among organizations, and solving this conflict could be the key to improving collaborative efforts.
Every port is different; every process is different
As a whole, ports are always focused on optimizing their resources and infrastructure in order to receive all types of shipping lines at the same time. From containers to wet and dry bulk as well as passenger ships, there is quite a variety of trades that pass through a port, each requiring different procedures.
Even in one country, each port differs from the other in how they carry out various processes. When accounting for the concerns of shipping lines and the differences in international legislations, this creates a complicated formula which challenges port call optimization efforts.
Everything is connected: delay causes more delay
As a continuous process, every step of one port call could affect the next one, creating a cascading effect and disrupting the wider supply chain in some cases. In this sense, port calls can be quite delicate, requiring strong collaboration and precision in execution. Human error is also a great concern, thus technological initiatives are becoming increasingly necessary to aid in both coordination and risk reduction.
Teqplay's Vision on how to improve port calls
The maritime industry is pushed to contribute to the net-zero by 2050. Many initiatives are taken to achieve this challenging goal. Legislation is brought into play by bodies like the IMO and local governments or authorities with examples like the CII. We expect the industry to be forced to bring data and technology into play in order to achieve the targets. We expect the maritime industry in 2030 to be held accountable for the net-zero commitments. And these will have to be backed by credible action.
As has been established, in order for the industry to move forward, we need to solve the challenge of leveraging technology and improving collaboration between various actors. Operational excellence is the goal of most maritime organizations, but between managing various expensive assets and coordinating many groups of people, there are always complications.
The maritime world is too big and interconnected for an individual or a single group to comprehend and interpret, meaning that data-driven decisions are incredibly important. In order to obtain high quality data, it is essential to collect information from various connected systems and create a comprehensive picture of operations.
Ultimately, the aim is to find insights that are actionable and applicable to daily operations. This will directly aid important decision making, ensuring that all the choices made have a strong basis in real-time updates of information and events.
In short, context is king when it comes to data-driven decisions. It is crucial to accurately map out the context of all information obtained. Decisions cannot be made in a vacuum, and it is especially important to have a good overview of all events before deciding on a course of action. One solution might work in the short-term, but without truly understanding the background information and root cause of disruptions, there is a risk of unforeseen consequences.
Operating based on deep insights backed up by contextualized data will enable positive change in the industry. Port call optimization cannot be achieved without change and innovation, requiring stakeholders to be aligned in strategic thinking. To combat disruption and stay on top of future development, the maritime industry needs a fresh approach and a strong commitment to digitalization.
How does port call optimization benefit you?
By reducing idle time and optimizing the quays and cranes, ports can benefit significantly. Ports will be able to handle more vessels, reduce congestion issues and improve cargo flow. Port call optimization enables ports to become more flexible in their planning and scheduling.
Reliable and real-time information on the arrival of vessels can help terminals improve their berth planning. If the work is more efficiently conducted, it will also result in happier customers for the terminal.
With the help of JIT arrivals, maritime businesses can reduce their emissions and bunker consumption. Since port calls will be conducted faster, vessels and container fleets will operate more efficiently.
With better visibility and higher predictability, port calls can handle more operations and control what goes on in the port more easily. As emissions are reduced and the efficiency is boosted, agencies will be more competitive.
With port call optimization, agents are more free to act. Their efforts can now be focused on further improving their services and allocating their time appropriately in more relevant activities.
Cargo owners
Thanks to optimized port processes, cargo owners reduce the risk on delays and disruptions that impact the quality and cost of shipping. With a reliable shared point of truth, cargo owners can also keep track of events in and around the vessels in ports and stay aware of any important events or issues.
