1606 – The Union Flag is adopted
The precursor to the 'Union Jack', the Union Flag is adopted in this year as a consequence of the personal union of the crowns of England and Scotland.
James VI of Scotland had inherited the English and Irish thrones in 1603 as James I, thereby uniting the crowns of England, Scotland, and Ireland in a personal union, although the three kingdoms remained separate states. On 12 April 1606, a new flag to represent this regal union between England and Scotland was specified in a royal decree, according to which the flag of England (a red cross on a white background, known as St George's Cross), and the flag of Scotland (a white saltire on a blue background, known as the Saltire or St Andrew's Cross), would be joined together, forming the flag of England and Scotland for maritime purposes. King James also began to refer to a "Kingdom of Great Britaine", although the union remained a personal one.
I am an ex-teacher having taught Ancient and Modern History, Social Science and Computing (weird combo ... hey) in the NSW (Australian) education system. I completed my degree at the same time as Maxx, but majored more in Modern History and Political Science before doing a Graduate Dip. Ed. and teaching. I have a strong interest in military history (all periods) but love reading about all aspects of history (you might call me a history junkie). I believe learning should be a life long pursuit and that the study of history is integral to the development of a mature, modern 'thinking' and 'questioning' society.

John Frederick Eales (19 January 1881 – 6 August 1936) was a British lawyer and Conservative Party politician who served as a Member of Parliament (MP) from 1931 to 1936.

Early life and legal career
He was born in Manchester, and was the son of William Eales of Luton. He served "articles" in a Luton solicitor's office, becoming a solicitor himself in 1904. He became a partner in a law firm in Coventry in the following year.

He married Emily Randall of Luton in the same year; the couple had two daughters. In 1910, he was called to the bar at the Middle Temple, and practiced on the Midland Circuit, with his Chambers in Birmingham. As his practice grew, he moved to London in 1921. In 1928, he was appointed Recorder of Coventry and in 1934 Recorder of Nottingham. In 1929, he "took silk" to become a king's counsel.

Member of Parliament
Eales was an active member of the Conservative Party, and had been involved in the party's campaigns in the Coventry and Nuneaton constituencies in the 1920s. He was nominated to contest the 1931 general election at Birmingham Erdington. The seat had been lost by the Conservatives in 1929, when C J Simmons of the Labour Party had been elected. Eales benefitted from a large swing against Labour, and regained the seat with a majority of nearly 19,000 votes. At the next election four years later, he successfully defended the seat.

Eales died suddenly from a heart attack while on holiday in Whitby, Yorkshire on 6 August 1936, aged 55.

Please join Family Office Insights for this luncheon on Wednesday, June 20th 2018 at 12PM. If you care to join us, please email admin@familyofficeinsights.com.
Family Office Insights sits down with Antonio Derossi, CEO, & Mahendra Nambiar, COO, of Fair Insurer to discuss the industry's first Insurance Protocol on the Blockchain and a socially impactful carrier offering superior Blockchain-specific products to the global $2.1T Property & Casualty market. They are seeking to raise $100M with a pre-sale on the first $10M with discounts on equity (50% discount on the first $4M, 25% on the next $4M, and 10% on the next $2M).
Tell us about your background and your company, Fair Insurer.
My primary experience has been in management consulting. I've been in the insurance business for about 18 years at Capgemini Consulting servicing financial institutions. The last 8-10 years of my career have been focused on innovation and transformation of insurance carriers by helping them become more technologically savvy and be more digital to take advantage of big data, cloud computing, and the Blockchain.
Antonio "Tony" Derossi, my co-founder and CEO, was the former CEO & COO at Fireman's Fund and COO of Allianz Eastern Europe and Middle East. Prior to Allianz, Tony was at Mckinsey in their insurance group and is an Italian army veteran. He was a client of mine 5 years ago while he was at Allianz. He left Allianz to join Propeller Venture Capital Management to invest in InsureTech where we re-connected again to do some joint projects.
Fair Insurer is a primary insurance carrier developing insurance products on the Blockchain for the property and casualty market. Insurance is a $2.1T industry and we are building products to service that market to leverage new more accurate data and capabilities of the Blockchain. Our goal is to use the Blockchain and third-party data to create new insurance products that reduces fraud, automates claims and settlements, and improves customer experience to disrupt the insurance market.
There are no other insurance carriers built on the Blockchain today. Our goal is to develop a risk register of different assets like property, equipment, and individuals to create a base for superior underwriting and gain first mover advantage. The point of this is to get accurate verified data to put on the blockchain that will be a source for underwriting so it's done correctly the first time. We will then use third party data like sensor data or data from an analytics company to keep track of that asset over time so that change trigger underwriting events. This fundamentally changes the nature of insurance as we know it today.
We have assembled a seasoned insurance and technology team to scale Fair Insurer rapidly and realize our vision to be leading socially impactful insurer.
Who is Fair Insurer's target market?
Our products will be in property and casualty with a mix of commercial (business focused) and consumer-focused products. To start, we are going to launch products that will hit different markets in industrial states where there is high fragmentation is some very large insurance markets.
For example, workers compensation insurance (a $16B US market) is federally mandated for every company, so we are strategically targeting manufacturing and construction-heavy states like Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio. Home insurance (a $80B US market) for mass affluent is another target, where we are going to create a Perpetual Home Insurance product, which is the traditional home insurance with a twist. You pay a refundable deposit for the insurance one time at the time of sale and your home is insured for life. Another example is title insurance ($13B US market), which is required in the U.S. but not very common globally. It is a highly manual process today, which can lead to inefficiencies and can be reimagined with the Blockchain. In global markets, offering Titling and Title Insurance offers clear and specific advantages to the underserved reducing corruption during title transfer at the point of home sale.
While larger insurance carriers have significant market share, it is a highly fragmented industry. Their offerings are also homogenous and it is hard to tell what the real difference between them aside from the price point. In many product segments it has become a price game, but we want to build better insurance products with social impact that are also cheaper.
For instance, on the workers compensation product, we are partnering with safety management technology to improve safety conditions at work sites while providing premium discounts. We are offering better products, extending benefits down to the worker (with better safety and control of their Blockchain data), and making it cost effective for businesses.
In terms of competitors, each state will have their own sets, but we know the big names like Travelers, Liberty Mutual and Accident Fund are the significant. Tony and I have been in this industry for a very long time so we know how they go to market and are positioned in a unique way to penetrate those distribution channels.
In how we sell and distribute the product, we are not reinventing the wheel. We are going through the traditional broker-agent model, as that's where the connections and interactions happen. Our second avenue is quite different however. We are partnering with the safety management and technology companies that we're already working with because they have the existing relationships. They're also in a position where they already sell to construction companies, so there is a natural progression to work as our distributor.
Insurance is one of the oldest industries in the world. A lot of existing practices at incumbents are based on models from 50-100 years ago. The lack of progress in this industry is primarily due to the poor incentives for these companies to innovate and the lack of new entrants to challenge the status quo. There is also a high barrier to entry due to the heavily regulated, audited, and governed nature of this market. It requires high levels of cash on reserve, which is another barrier to entry. We also have to work with different states to go through the process of licensing and being approved in each state.
While these barriers exist, they are also built-in protection for us once we are up and running; a blessing and a curse as with most things in life.
We offer a fairer process for insurance in all areas – transparency in how it's underwritten, how risk is managed, and the speed with claims and settlements happen. We are going to offer superior products at better prices and innovation that doesn't exist today. We will also have social impact by offering services globally to break the cycle of corruption and create protections during significant life events like home sales. We will also be able to offer more affordable insurance in developing economies to service the underserved population. In the workers compensation market, we recognize that the individual construction worker doesn't have control over his/her data. We will give that control and exposure back to the individuals by opening up the data and making it more transferable.
These new products and underwriting techniques will enable us to scale quickly and dramatically impact the status quo of the insurance industry.
We are seeking to raise $100M. $40M will be used for operational costs for 2 years and $60M will be cash reserve for us to comply with U.S. requirements of being an insurer. We are having a pre-sale on the first $10M with discounts on equity (50% discount on the first $4M, 25% discount on the next $4M and 10% on the next $2M).
Our ideal investor is someone who understands the financial services market or is an ecosystem partner of ours like real estate and construction companies, because they understand, participate, and connect with our ecosystem. Another ideal investor type would be someone who understands the power of Blockchain and cryptocurrency. We believe that crypto investors will be very interested in Fair Insurer as it also expands the blockchain eco system with a very real profitable business.
Ironshore is a comparable Insurance carrier startup founded in 2006 to launch new specialty products to protect against hurricanes. The 2016 acquisition of Ironshore by Liberty Mutual happened for a disclosed price of $2.94B. There are other peer comparisons of similar growth and profitable exits that we have modeled the business after. Our reimagined insurance products that take advantage of the capabilities of the Blockchain will dramatically disrupt the P&C insurance market.
We spent a lot of time thinking about what we will accomplish and how we will operate. Social impact is a given, but we are ultimately a fair insurance company that offers a wide variety of products to the market by leveraging the Blockchain and big data to create a world-class high growth insurance company. Fair Insurer takes advantage of historical and accurate real-time data (provided by IoT sensors and third parties) to increase underwriting profits, drastically reduce claims fraud and provide better customer service with rapid settlements. Using our Blockchain Insurance Protocol, products can reach millions ignored in under-served markets because of the high costs embedded in the traditional business model. This has the potential to impact millions of lives.
We are actively fundraising and talking to commissioners, brokers, and other partners in the ecosystem to receive feedback and hone our products and our insurance protocol. We want to finish raising the capital so we can complete our licensing and realize this vision.
Antonio's experience includes over 20 years in insurance operations and technology, first as a strategic consultant at McKinsey & Co and then in Allianz Group where he served as a C-level executive in Europe and the Middle East and most recently in the US as COO of the Fireman's Insurance Fund. Tony also advises one of the largest investment banks on insurance related matters.

Aston Martin teases colour scheme ahead of F1 return
In Aston Martin, Formula 1, International News, Motorsports	/ By Mick Chan	/ 5 January 2021 10:51 am / 3 comments
British sports car make Aston Martin has teased the livery that will grace its Formula 1 team, the familiar colours here appearing to be comprised of British Racing Green, Neon Yellow and Sterling Green. Its 2021 Formula 1 car and full livery will be unveiled in February, said the manufacturer.
Officially known as the Aston Martin Formula One Team, its driver line-up will be comprised of Lance Stroll and four-time Formula 1 champion Sebastian Vettel. The team has been rebranded to Aston Martin from this year, known before this as Racing Point F1.
Its manufacturer re-entry into top-level open-wheel racing comes as part of the brand's move from factory-backed GT sports car racing to supporting customer racing teams, electing to focus its factory racing effort on Formula 1. Aston Martin confirmed the conclusion of its factory-backed Vantage GT racing programme last week.
"We've had almost a year of preparation to reach this point and we're really looking forward to seeing the reaction when we finally unveil our new identity as the Aston Martin Formula One Team," said team principal and CEO Otmar Szafnauer.
Aston Martin will take over from the Racing Point F1 outfit from this year
"Representing such an iconic brand is a huge privilege for every member of the team. We've earned a well-deserved reputation for punching above our weight, so we're confident we can do the Aston Martin name proud right from the get-go," Szafnauer said.
An overhaul of Formula 1 technical regulations was postponed to 2022 from its original introduction this year, as a result of the economic fallout resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic. In the meantime, the 2021 season will see the introduction of a sliding scale of available simulator time for aerodynamics development across different teams based on their championship positions, reported Autosport.
With this regulation, 2020 constructor champion Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 will have just 90% of a 100% base reference figure that equals 80 hours of wind tunnel time, with 320 runs and 400 hours of tunnel occupancy at the team's disposal. The percentage increases in 2.5% increments, with 10th-placed Williams afforded 112.5% of the base reference.
This means that in the 2021 season, the Mercedes F1 team will have 72 hours, 288 runs and 360 hours of tunnel occupancy, while Williams will have 90 hours, 360 runs and 450 hours of tunnel occupancy. This is a gradual introduction of graduated allocations that for 2022 will reduce lead constructor allocation to 70% of the agreed wind tunnel time, and increment percentage doubled to 5% between each constructor championship position, according to Autosport.

A delightful 17th century 'ferme Landaise' and accompanying gite set in 1 hectare of pastoral paradise. This ancient farm house is situated at the end of a tree lined country lane and was lovingly restored to a high standard. Many of its original features remain, such as period floor tiles, stone fire place, exposed oak timbers and functioning bread oven. This residence is spacious yet retains a genuine homely feel with its impressive entrance hall/living room at its heart, giving access to the dining room and bedrooms and also garden terraces. The vast attic space has been modernised and presently exists as a single open space (guest bedroom), but could easily be divided up for further bedrooms, study, games room etc.

Vetrov was motivated to turn on his country because of his disillusionment of KGB nepotism and the oppressive stagnation of the USSR. In 1982, he was arrested for the murder of a bystander and the attempted murder of his mistress, a KGB secretary. Sentenced to prison by Soviet authorities, his crime of treachery only later came to light.

news, water-pressure,
THE NSW government is under the pump to construct an emergency pipeline to Tamworth before it's too late to be effective. The pipeline, which will run from Chaffey Dam to Dungowan village, is expected to ensure Tamworth does not run out of water "provided it is installed by early 2020". At a community meeting in Dungowan, WaterNSW representatives said a project like this would normally take up to two and half years to complete. However, the department will expedite the process and is aiming to have it finished in nine months. "This project is extremely challenging in terms of time frames," a WaterNSW spokesman said. "We believe we should be installing it soon to maximise the supply for Tamworth. We are targeting award of contract by September. "Given the time frames we want to get this installed by, we're expecting construction costs to be upwards of $38 million. "That will be subject to further government approval. That application for approval is already in play and going through the relevant processes." Currently, the preferred route is via Back-Woolomin Road and there is an alternative route along Nundle Road. There is a third option that combines the two routes via Westback Road at Woolomin. WaterNSW says it is yet to make a decision on the route, and will be consulting landowners along all option in the next few weeks. MORE WATER PRESSURE STORIES Where possible construction will be within existing road easements or land within the Chaffey Dam property boundary. The department is yet to decide what the pipe diameter will be used for the project, which will be up to 20km long. "We have to consider not only Tamworth's supply now, but it's supply in to the future," the spokesman said. The pipeline will complement temporary weirs that will dam up the Peel, reducing water transmission losses. There will be another community meeting on Tuesday, August 6, at the Tamworth Community Centre from 7pm to 9pm. Want to have your say? Click here to write a letter to the editor

The Wildlife of Maryland
Maryland State bird: Baltimore oriole
State mammal: Thoroughbred, calico cat, Chesapeake Bay retriever
State reptile: Diamondback terrapin
State fish: Striped bass
State insect: Baltimore Checkerspot butterfly
Maryland is a referred to as �America in miniature� because the state is comprised of so many different habitats. It has sand dunes and sea grass, marshlands with cypress trees, oak-covered hills, and pine forests in the mountainous regions. Oddly enough, though it is certainly diverse, there are no natural lakes in Maryland. The state has plenty of ponds, but glacier activity in the United States did not extend down as far as Maryland, thus no large craters were carved out of the landscape. There are now numerous man-made lakes and reservoirs.
Maryland has a variety of animals, and not all of them are native to the state. Wild horses, for example, are living on the islands off the coast of the state, but the equine species was not native to the country. The horses are the offspring of Spanish stock brought over by explorers. The animals are allowed to live on the islands because of their historical importance.
Another non-native creature is the sika deer. This is another species that was introduced originally on the islands off the coast. The sika deer is much lighter in frame and body than the indigenous white-tailed deer. The largest grazer in Maryland is the American elk, a species that is native to the region.
There are no grazers larger than the elk and wild horses. There are, however, the same large predators found in many of the other states. Maryland has black bears, coyotes, cougars, and wolves. Though the populations of these large creatures are minimal, the more humans continue to populate Maryland, the more frequent encounters will be.
Maryland has a host of other animals including fishers, a weasel-like animal that lives in forested areas. Along the same lines are river otter, mink, and ermine.
Common animals include raccoons, striped skunks, foxes, nutria, squirrels, porcupines, opossums, woodchucks, voles, moles, mice, and rats.
Maryland is also a coastal state, and it has a variety of marine life. Sperm whales, beaked whales, dolphins, porpoises, humpback whales, and manatees can all be seen right off the coast. Baltimore, a city on the Maryland coast, is home to one of the nation�s finest aquariums and features many of the above mentioned animals.
Example Maryland Wildlife Problem Emails:
To whom it may concern, I wanted to send a thank you and a wonderful review on your company. Tonight, in the middle of the night we woke up to 3 raccoons in our driveway. One of them had locked himself into out county issued garbage can. We found your website and got a hold of a wonderful man named Chris from Deer Park, that came right to our aid at 1:30 in the morning. He got the one in the garbage and looked around our house for his friends but they had fled the scene. Chris was so kind and professional they kind of person that makes you feel safe in your home again. I commend you for having a wonderful and professional person like Chris on your team. Thank you for your services tonight. Sincerely, The Kahara Family
Maryland Wildlife News Clip: Nursing Maryland raccoon get aggressive
Maryland -- For the majority of the year, Baltimore's resident Maryland raccoon just hang out on the swampy marshland and walk about town. But for 28 days of the year, some become monsters, exchanging their docile nature for hissing, snarling and chasing, said Larry The nuisance wildlife authority, wildlife project manager for the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. For a great many of the resident raccoons, it's nursing season. The raccoon incubates the baby coons while the male coon protects the nursery. He will do just about anything, including beating his powerful claws, chasing, biting, clawing and scratching any intruder, whether it's a cat, dog or human, until they go away.
"That's what they are there to do," The nuisance wildlife authority said. "And they're pretty good at it, too." Even though Maryland raccoon were named Maryland's Invasive Species of the Month for November 2005 and are on the top of the agricultural most wanted list for damage, their nurseries are federally protected. No one is allowed to tamper with a nursery once the baby coons are born. It isn't as if it is easy to get to the nursery. The male coon patrols and protects the surroundings, which are in highly visible areas and close to swampy marshland. The raccoon will also defend her baby coons rigorously and even more so as the hatching nears.
The raccoons have powerful claws that can leave serious bruises or break bones. Their claws are their biggest defense against predators and intruders. Because raccoons like open areas near swampy marshland, places like Baltimore's City wildlife management habitat and golf courses are ideal locations, The nuisance wildlife authority said. These raccoons will even set up nurseries along sidewalks or entrances to buildings. They'll even nursery on buildings or elevated surfaces. "They'll nursery in some pretty unusual places," The nuisance wildlife authority said.
Joggers, golfers and passers-by are often victims of getting too close to nursing raccoons. Amer Joner and her 1-year-old daughter received a hiss as they walked in the wildlife management habitat Thursday afternoon. The Baltimore resident has seen what the raccoons can do, so she tries to avoid them. "I stay on my side, they stay on theirs," she said. It was the pair's first encounter with an aggressive male coon, but it wasn't the first time a male coon had gone too far in Joners' book. "I saw one run after a little boy about two weeks ago," she said. "All he was doing was walking near the swampy marshland." Jones doesn't want the raccoons anywhere near her daughter. "They should really do something about the raccoons, so they can't attack people, especially little kids," she said.
If nesting raccoons cause a problem to public safety, The nuisance wildlife authority said land owners can file for a federal permit to destroy the nursery in the interest of protecting the public. There is little people can do but avoid them when possible and run when they start their rampage, The nuisance wildlife authority said. "Just use common sense," he said. The nuisance wildlife authority said raccoons in a group aren't the problem; the issues arise when there are two and one is sitting on the nursery. When Baltimore resident Granville Pest animal controller jogs through the wildlife management habitat, he said the raccoons don't bother him.
"They just get out of my way," he said. "There will be 10 or 15 of them and they'll make room for me." Some raccoons don't, though, said Sherry Pest control expert of Baltimore. Although Pest control expert hasn't encountered any unruly raccoons this year, last year, the raccoons were a problem. "They would chase after you," she said. "They would charge at you." Pest control expert keeps 18-month-old son, Smitty, in his stroller when he's not on the playground. She doesn't let him wander. The bigger issue, she said, is what the raccoons leave behind. Raccoon droppings litter the sidewalks of not only the wildlife management habitat, but many areas in Baltimore, The nuisance wildlife authority said. Besides the aggressive behavior during nursery season, raccoons are a public enemy of farmers as they destroy sprouting corn and soybean plants. Maryland raccoon have also put a dent in the wetlands, The nuisance wildlife authority said, by uprooting the vegetation through heavy grazing.

Black background after "Save as dwg/dxf"?
How do you change the background in an exported/save as dwg/dxf drawing to white with black lines/dimensions/text instead of the default black background and dark grey part with white title block? I apologize if this has already been covered. I did a search and brought up two unrelated results.
Re: Black background after "Save as dwg/dxf"?

in News, Travel, U.S.
U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy said Sunday that the nation is not back at "square one" amid fears over the new Omicron coronavirus variant, and assured that Americans can still take steps to gather safely for upcoming holidays.
Speaking on CBS' Face the Nation, Murthy addressed pandemic "fatigue" amid the discovery of the latest coronavirus variant in the U.S. this week.
"We've been at this for 22 months as a country and the prospect of another variant I know can be exhausting and frustrating to many people out there. And I get that. What I want to say though to everyone is that we are not back in March 2020. We are not at the beginning of this pandemic, back at square one," Murthy said.
"What we do know is that if people use the tools that we have that you can actually gather with much, much less risk," Murthy added. The surgeon general went on to say that those who are vaccinated and boosted, get tested before traveling, or gather in well-ventilated spaces and use masks when necessary will carry a low risk of spreading the virus.
"Your risk can be quite low and your holidays can be quite fulfilling. That's what so many families experienced this past Thanksgiving," he said.
Murthy's statements come just days after the first known case of the Omicron variant was discovered in the U.S. on December 1. Since then, at least 16 states have reported cases of Omicron, which has been deemed a variant of concern by the World Health Organization (WHO) after it was initially detected in South Africa last month.
Researchers are still discovering information about the new variant, but early data has suggested that it is twice as transmissible as Delta—currently the dominant variant in the U.S.—and that it could be more effective at evading immunity due to its high level of mutations.
Vaccine makers are now working to adapt current inoculations to target the Omicron variant specifically but warned it could be months before they become widely available. However, experts believe current vaccines and boosters still provide a level of protection against the virus and have been urging those who have not yet received the jab to do so.
"It's critical that people know we do have tools that we can use right now to protect ourselves against this variant and against the Delta variant, which is still the predominant variant in the United States. And those include getting vaccinated, getting boosted. Certainly, if you are eligible, that helps raise your level of protection, using masks in public indoor spaces, gathering in well-ventilated places when you do gather," Murthy added on Sunday.
So far, cases of the Omicron variant have been found in California, Minnesota, Colorado, Hawaii, Nebraska, Maryland, Missouri, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Utah, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Washington, Wisconsin and Louisiana.
Omicron patients in the U.S. have ranged in age and vaccination status, but have so far displayed mild to moderate symptoms. As of Saturday, there were no hospitalizations among those infected with the variant.

NEW RELEASES AND TOP SELLERS
"The Invisible Band"
Travis (Epic/Independente)
Review By Gary C.W. Chun
Star-Bulletin
This group may be the United Kingdom's best bet as a breakout band in America, but you certainly can't judge it by Travis' CD covers.
The Scottish band's previous album, "The Man Who," the No. 1 fave with both public and critics in the U.K. back in '99, depicted the four (Francis Healy, Douglas Payne, Andy Dunlop and Neil Primrose) as part of some desolate, windswept beach setting. The cover of Travis' latest album is of a picturesque northern California forest. You can barely see the band members along the bottom of the wide-framed photo -- a play, I guess, on the album's title.
It could also pass as a comment on the relative anonymity of the band's collective low-key personality. And wouldn't it be ironic if Travis becomes more of a success story in the U.S. than others that have preceded them, namely Blur (too British), Oasis (too full-of-themselves) and Radiohead (too oblique). For that, you can thank a beguiling sense of melody and song structure, which makes this one of my favorite albums of the year.
"The Invisible Band" was recorded in Los Angeles with the help of producer-of-the-moment Nigel Godrich, and boasts a fuller sound than the comparatively twee ambiance of "The Man Who." With the exception of the unsettling, minor-key musings of "Dear Diary" and the dark emotions of "Last Train," this album is so unaffected and good natured that it's any wonder it doesn't all collapse into a sappy morass.
The album's leadoff single, "Sing," and "Flowers In The Window" were written by Healy for his wife, filled with optimism and a giddy kind of love. The first of two love-lost songs, "The Cage" (for Cinjun, who ever that may be) is a delicately expressed number about a love stolen away before it has had the chance to grow. The other, and the album's last listed track, "The Humpty Dumpty Love Song" (for Ringan) starts as a simple heartbreak song and blossoms into a more universal statement about loss in general, a grand sound that luxuriates in blissful surrender.
"Afterglow" is just as evanescent as its subject, a somber but lovely song moved along with gently plucked guitar notes. The song's title, "Indefinitely," becomes a mantra for spiritual willpower.
Through it all, Healy is totally unpretentious as a singer -- whether he's in a ruminative mood on "Side," trying to make sense out of our "Pipe Dreams" (just "Follow The Light") or feeling "Safe" in a mature, comforting way, Healy and the band offer a musical balm for the troubled soul.
The album's mood is broken (in a good way) with two hidden tracks; "Ring Out the Bell," a good-spirited contribution by Payne, and Dunlop's jaunty little kiss-off, "You Don't Know What I'm Like."
As this talented quartet tours the United States this summer with Dido, invisibility should be the least of their problems.

Moving tunes from the
movie with the 'tude
"Music from the Motion Picture: Tomb Raider"
Various artists (Elektra)
Review by Burl Burlingame
Lara Croft, the busty Indiana Jones with the 'tude, isn't the first cyber-character to inspire a movie and an all-star soundtrack -- remember the Mario Brothers? -- but Lara is way-narrowly marketed, right? Directly at teen-age boys whose idea of entertainment is watching her bounce up and down while slaughtering monsters. OK, face it, every man alive. Even Elton John.
This disk is cannily assembled from ominous dance-club grooves, overlaid with all-star-power vocals and raps. Wading through the production notes shows a real smorgasbord of producers and mixers; amazingly, it all hangs together cohesively. The sound is industrial and soulful at the same time (something the Eurythmics figured out 15 years ago; too bad they're not represented here).
It's what's on top of the sexy, booty-thrusting bop that makes it fly. Artists such as U2, Missy Elliott, Nelly Furtado, Fatboy Slim and Bootsy Collins loosen up and bring in rap, soul, rock, Eastern, Gregorian-chant and Islamic grooves. No culture is safe from being sampled.
Even those dour pills in Nine Inch Nails appear to be having a good ol' sexy time.
The tone is so ominously European and industrial that, on occasion, and if this were an antique vinyl record, you'd swear the needle was stuck in a click-track.
Like last year's "Matrix," records like this give assembled soundtracks a good name. All it takes is top talent (even if they're not on the production company's in-house label), a dedication to shaking the listener's groove thang and a clear vision of the end result. OK, the end result might be watching Lara Croft do jumping jacks, but she won't miscount with the solid beat here.
Cool record. Parents will hate it. Likely to become a summer fixture at dance clubs.
'Lechuza' gets your
heart pumping
"Lechuza"
Fenix*TX (MCA)
Teen-age angst at full volume isn't particularly interesting -- even for teen-agers -- unless it's doled out in fierce, unexpected nuggets, like that hidden reservoir of chile sauce in the bi bim bap. Fenix*TX doesn't let up for the length of "Lechuza" until at the very end, with "El Borrachio," when a groaning bass viola lurches into a hair-band anthem, complete with contra-picking and soaring choruses. We're talking Loverboy territory. It sounds totally lame, and makes the rest of the record shine by contrast.
Not letting up and ignoring dynamics are a punch-band article of faith. "Lechuza" is a sweaty marathon. "Lechuza" means "owl" in Spanish. Hey, they know some Spanish words! Some of the tunes would frankly sound more interesting in Spanish, and would make the "parental advisory" label on the jacket superfluous.
What's here your kid shouldn't hear? The line "Hey you wanna **** **** up!" for one. And the lead song, "Phoebe Cates," is an ode to the physical charms of the actress who's now old enough to be their mother. Otherwise, you should be more worried about your kids' eardrums than anything else.
They're champs at song titles. "Pasture of Muppets" and "Beating a Dead Horse" are pretty cool, and the song "Something Bad Is Going to Happen" (which has the **** **** line) even features a lead guitar at one point and a cheerleader-like chorus. It's a real song instead of a riff.
Everything's full-tilt. The sound is crisp and high-register and could use some more bass. It's kind of brittle. For some reason the crash cymbal is out in front on the mix, and along with the chirpy harmonies, this sounds like Def Leppard in search of a melody. Or waiting for the Thorazine to wear off.

Thanks very much Sue. Yes it was supposed to be Joseph Raisbeck and Ann Kermode. I have managed to put together much of the info on them from the IOM side and through, largely the Australian Electoral Rolls quite a bit of their family in Australia.
What I am most pleased about is your provision of the date and ship that the Raisbecks took to Australia; although going through pages of ship logs to try and find it, until your message it had eluded me.
In my message to Eric I had indicated that the Catherine Raisbeck, who married Henry Horsley, Lonan 11 Dec 1841; (her the d/o Francis Raisbeck) was the sister of Joseph Raisbeck. The 1851 IOM census lists a Henry and Catherine Horsley "next door" to Francis Raisbeck and the rest of the family which would support this connection, however, I don't have any birth/baptism data for confirmation. I believe she would have been born around 1821 in Cumberland England.
Thanks again for your help. I'll pursue the other sources of info you provided.

Jaspaul's Work Experiences
Since the Covid-19 pandemic started more than a year ago, very few people would have thought that more than a year later we'd be just be taking the first few steps towards normality. Unfortunately, one of the biggest sufferers, as a result, was the job market, where thousands of jobs were lost on an almost daily basis.
On the 8th of April session of PACE Pals, the topic of discussion was disability in the workplace, and Jaspaul, one of our serving members at PACE, spoke about his personal experiences.
Let's start from the beginning, when did you take your first steps into the world of work?
It was at school as part of work experience when I was about 14 years old. It was a two-week placement working for a disability magazine called Disability Times. I was tasked with coming up with news stories and content for the magazine – a pretty big responsibility for my first job, if I do say so myself. I loved it though.
Did the work experience influence what you wanted to do when you were older?
Oh definitely! I'm a people person and like interacting with people, and the work experience helped me realise this. A few years later I joined PACE – and over the years I climbed the ranks, for the lack of a better word, from member to Team Leader – where I took part in many Hanwell Carnivals, raising money for PACE. The confidence I gained was hugely important to the different jobs I would get in the future.

That's great to hear! Now, moving on slightly to the present, obviously the pandemic has had a huge impact on the jobs market. How has it been for you?
Like for many people across the country, it has been challenging to adjust to working from home. I'm currently work for another charity and they have been really helpful and understanding to the transition.
Do you think that working from home could be a positive for people with disabilities?
I could definitely see that. It's of course easier to just get out of bed, get dressed, have breakfast, and then just whip out the laptop and hop on a Zoom meeting, then, for example, going on public transport, hoping that the designated disabled space is free. Or that the lift to the train station isn't out of order, basically locking you out. Basic things that many people take for granted that unfortunately disabled people can't – working from home could alleviate these worries.
From the tone of your answer, Jaspaul, I get the impression that working from home isn't for you… Am I right?
Ha-ha…how did you guess? Yeah, like I said earlier in the interview I'm a people-person who likes to speak to people face-to-face, which is something you just can't replicate on Zoom. But working from home did threw up some inconveniences that people might not be aware of. For example, I have specialist equipment that helps me with my work that I received through a government scheme called Access to work. I use a speech recognition software program called Dragon Dictate because I find it hard to type. However, using this in conjunction with being on a video call is incredibly difficult. I could mute the call to dictate to Dragon, but of course I might miss vital information or I can't contribute as much as I would like due to speaking to Dragon. It's just really frustrating.
What would you say to companies that are looking to hire disabled people?
For me, it's as much about the little things as well as the big picture. Last month I was offered a job as a steward at Wembley Stadium – checking tickets, looking after the public, that sort of thing – and with the Euros coming up I was incredibly excited. However, I was forced to decline the opportunity in the end due to fact they were only offering 20 minutes break. This is too little time for me as I get tired from being on my feet more quickly than others might. It's the little things that count.
There was also the fact that I had to wear a uniform. Now, I know what you must be thinking, wearing a uniform? That's not a big deal, lots of people have to. However, the uniform they wanted me to wear had buttons, and remember I use speech software to type so imagine me trying to tie or undo a button. It's a lost cause if I ever saw one. Combine that with a possibility of an evening kick-off where the match usually finishes around 10pm, plus you got to wait until thousands of fans leave. I wouldn't be home until around midnight at the earliest. So, I would need to arrange carers to come at midnight help me to undo my buttons on my uniform – it's just not feasible unless I had 24-hour care, which I wouldn't get and frankly don't need. The only course of action I had was to turn the job down. That's what I mean about the little things mattering as much as longer breaks or accessible equipment. I of course told the people at Wembley all of this so hopefully they take the feedback on board. Raising awareness is the key for more disabled people to get into work, which I'm 100% behind.

Bayern Munich re-signs center Bryant
Jul 15, 2015 by Euroleague.net Print
FC Bayern Munich has reached a new agreement with center John Bryant to keep working together until the end of the 2016-17 season, the club announced Wednesday. Bryant (2.08 meters, 28 years old) averaged 10.8 points and 7.7 rebounds in 10 Turkish Airlines Euroleague games last season. He was the second-best regular season rebounder, trailing only Boban Marjanovic of Crvena Zvezda Telekom Belgrade. When Bayern went on to play the Eurocup, Bryant averaged 13.3 points and 7.1 rebounds in less than 23 minutes per game. Bryant helped Bayern win the German League title in 2014 - the club's first since 1955 - and reach the final last season. He has also played for ratiopharm Ulm of Germany, which he took to the German League finals in 2012 and the Eurocup quarterfinals the next spring. Bryant earned first-team All-Eurocup honors in 2012-13 with averages of 16 points and 9 rebounds over 13 games. "It is great to return to Bayern. The fans should know how much we appreciate their support," Bryant said. "I am looking forward to seeing you in October again in the Audi Dome."

Back in 1991 our pioneering co-founders Liam McCarthy (RIP) and Josephine Murphy, identifying a real need for supportive and inclusive training, founded the Personal Counselling Institute (now PCI College).
This was a time when mental health was not on the political, media or public agenda in Ireland. Liam and Josephine believed passionately in both personal development and high academic standards, both of which they combined with the foundation of the Personal Counselling Institute. The ground-breaking work pioneered by both Liam and Josephine helped begin the process to allow the counselling/psychotherapy profession to be seen on an equal footing with any other helping profession.
PCI College was set up with the intention of providing students with a broad education in counselling and psychotherapy and in 2001 the college became a Collaborative College of Middlesex University. Our programmes are characterised by an integrative, person-centred, approach to counselling & psychotherapy training. Through their extensive training, students are introduced to all the main theorists, as well as being afforded the opportunity to delve into important topics such as Abnormal Psychology, Loss & Grief, Substance Addictions, to name but a few. This expansive breadth of training, in conjunction with, the provision of high quality, user-friendly teaching, is one of the key factors that each year continues to attract many students to join the growing PCI College family of qualified counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists.
With over 20 years of experience, PCI College continue with our founders pioneering work by embracing the continued raising of academic standards in the context of proposed professional regulation, while still making training as accessible as possible; by continuing to set a high standard of personal development in training; by raising awareness around the huge range of issues that people still struggle with in this country - depression, anxiety, suicide, addictions, relationship difficulties, etc; and by promoting an integrative approach within our field, and with our fellow professionals.
