Le duché de Lancastre (en anglais Duchy of Lancaster) est, depuis 1399, le domaine privé du souverain britannique en tant que duc de Lancastre. L'objectif principal du domaine est de fournir une source de revenus indépendants au souverain. Le domaine est composé d'un portefeuille de terrains, de propriétés, et d'actifs, détenus en fiducie pour le souverain, et est administré séparément du Crown Estate. Le duché contient  ( acres) de biens fonciers (dont les propriétés rurales et les terres agricoles), d'aménagements urbains, de bâtiments historiques et de propriétés commerciales dans toute l'Angleterre et au Pays de Galles, notamment dans les comtés du Cheshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, Lancashire et dans la . Le duché de Lancastre est l'un des deux , l'autre étant le duché de Cornouailles, qui fournit un revenu au prince de Galles.

Pour la période 2021/2022, le domaine est évalué à environ 652 millions de £ et a versé au souverain régnant au titre de duc de Lancastre près de 22 millions de £. Le duché étant un atout inaliénable de la Couronne détenu en fiducie pour les générations futures de souverains, le souverain n'a droit ni au capital du portefeuille ni aux bénéfices du capital. Le duché de Lancastre n'est pas soumis à l'impôt, bien que le souverain ait volontairement payé à la fois l'impôt sur le revenu et sur les gains en capital depuis 1993. Ainsi, le revenu perçu par la cassette royale, dont une part importante est fournie par le duché, est imposé après déduction des dépenses officielles.

Le duché est administré au nom du souverain par le chancelier du duché de Lancastre, un ministre du gouvernement nommé par le souverain sur les conseils du premier ministre et du greffier du conseil. La gestion quotidienne des biens et des investissements du domaine est déléguée à des membres du conseil du duché, alors que le chancelier est responsable devant le parlement du bon fonctionnement du domaine.

Le duché exerce certains pouvoirs et fonctions cérémonielles de la Couronne dans le comté traditionnel du Lancashire, qui comprend une partie du Grand Manchester moderne et du Merseyside, ainsi que la région de Furness et du Cumbria. Depuis le Local Government Act 1972, le roi, en tant que chef du duché, nomme les High Sheriffs et les Lord Lieutenants du Grand Manchester, du Merseyside et du Lancashire.

Histoire

Le duché de Lancastre fut créé pour le fils cadet du roi Édouard III, Jean de Gand, qui avait acquis les terres qui en faisaient partie à la suite de son mariage avec l'héritière Blanche de Lancastre. En tant qu'héritage de Lancastre, il remonte à 1265, lorsque Henri III accorda à son fils cadet prénommé Edmond les terres qui avaient été confisquées par Simon de Montfort, comte de Leicester. En 1266, les biens de Robert de Ferrières,  de Derby, un autre protagoniste de la Seconde Guerre des barons, furent ajoutés. En 1267, le domaine fut octroyé en tant que comté, honneur et château de Lancastre. En 1284, Edmond hérita du  qu'il reçut de sa mère, Éléonore de Provence, nièce du bénéficiaire initial, Pierre II de Savoie. Édouard III fit du Lancashire un comté palatin en 1351, et le propriétaire, Henry de Grosmont, petit-fils d'Edmond, reçut le titre de duc de Lancastre. Après sa mort, une charte de 1362 conféra le duché à son gendre, Jean de Gand, comte de Lancastre, et à ses héritiers mâles légitimes pour toujours.

Le premier acte de Henri IV fut de déclarer l'héritage lancastrien séparé des autres possessions de la Couronne et d'assurer sa transmission à des héritiers mâles. Cette séparation des identités fut confirmée en 1461 par Édouard IV, lorsqu'il réunit l'héritage et les responsabilités du palatinat sous le titre de duché de Lancastre, et stipula qu'il soit tenu séparé des autres héritages par lui-même ainsi que par ses héritiers. Le duché fut ensuite transmis au monarque régnant et en 1760, son identité distincte le préserva d'être cédé avec le Crown Estate en échange de la liste civile. Il est avant tout un héritage foncier appartenant au souverain régnant.

En 2011, le duché établit un plan pour rééquilibrer les actifs, vendit la plupart des fermes de Winmarleigh et fit don d'une parcelle de terrain au comité de Winmarleigh Village Hall en .

Rôle
Le duché est la propriété personnelle du monarque et c'est le cas depuis 1399, lorsque le duché de Lancastre, détenu par Henry de Bolingbroke (Henri IV), fusionna avec la couronne lorsque ce dernier s'appropria le trône (après l'éviction de Richard II).

C'est le chancelier du duché de Lancastre qui en est à la tête, une position parfois tenue par un ministre du cabinet, il s'agit toujours d'un poste ministériel. Au cours des deux derniers siècles au moins, le domaine a été géré par un député; son chancelier a rarement eu des fonctions importantes concernant sa gestion, mais il est disponible en tant que ministre sans portefeuille.

Le monarque obtient une cassette royale, un revenu provenant directement du duché. L'excédent annuel arrêté au  était de 16 millions de £ et le duché a été évalué à un peu plus de 472 millions de £. Ses propriétés foncières ne doivent pas être confondues avec le Crown Estate, dont les revenus sont remis au Trésor depuis le  en échange d'un paiement annuel de la liste civile.

Les membres principaux du conseil du duché chargés des obligations quotidiennes du domaine sont le Clerk of the Council (le directeur général du Conseil), le Chairman of the Council (le Président du Conseil), et le Chief Finance Officer (le directeur des finances). Le chancelier est responsable de la nomination de l'intendant et de celle de la personne chargée des  au nom de la reine, chef de son duché.

Prérogative royale

Le duché de Lancastre et le duché de Cornouailles bénéficient tous deux de droits légaux spéciaux auxquels d'autres domaines détenus par des pairs ou des comtés palatins n'ont pas droit, par exemple, dans le duché,  fonctionne au profit du duc plutôt qu'à celui de la Couronne. Le montant des recettes du bona vacantia dans le duché est divisé entre deux organismes de bienfaisance. Bona vacantia apparaît, à l'origine, en vertu de la prérogative royale, et reste la position à certains égards, même si le droit au bona vacancia des deux grandes catégories est désormais basé sur les lois:  et .

Les domaines bénéficient de procureurs généraux distincts. En général, les exemptions ont tendance à suivre la même ligne: tous les droits relatifs à la Couronne dans la plupart des régions du pays sont transférés au duc dans le duché. En règle générale, toute loi du Parlement relatif à de tels droits conduira spécifiquement à la mise en place d'exemptions spéciales pour les deux duchés et précisera dans quelle mesure elles sont applicables. Elles sont soumises à une réglementation stricte, notamment en ce qui concerne l'audit et l'aliénation juridique des terres.

Avoirs fonciers
Les avoirs du duché sont divisés en six unités appelées « arpentages », cinq en milieu rural et une urbaine. Les arpentages ruraux représentent la plupart des actifs et de la zone, mais l'arpentage urbain génère un revenu plus élevé. Les avoirs fonciers ont été accumulés au fil du temps par le mariage, l'héritage, le don et la confiscation, et dans les temps modernes, par l'achat et la vente.

Paradise Papers
L'affaire Paradise Papers révèle, pour la première fois, que le Duché de Lancastre pratique de l'optimisation fiscale dans des paradis fiscaux. L'affaire révèle également que le Duché est un investisseur de BrightHouse, société controversée de 270 magasins britanniques qui exploitent des milliers de familles pauvres et des personnes vulnérables, via un mécanisme de location-crédit de mobilier à des taux lourds, qui s'élèvent jusqu'à 99,99 %.

Background and objectives Current guidelines recommend Na+-based alkali for CKD with metabolic acidosis and plasma total CO2 (PTCO2) < 22 mM. Because diets in industrialized societies are typically acid-producing, we compared base-producing fruits and vegetables with oral NaHCO3 (HCO3) regarding the primary outcome of follow-up estimated GFR (eGFR) and secondary outcomes of improved metabolic acidosis and reduced urine indices of kidney injury.
Design, setting, participants, & measurements Individuals with stage 4 (eGFR, 15–29 ml/min per 1.73 m2) CKD due to hypertensive nephropathy, had a PTCO2 level < 22 mM, and were receiving angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition were randomly assigned to 1 year of daily oral NaHCO3 at 1.0 mEq/kg per day (n=35) or fruits and vegetables dosed to reduce dietary acid by half (n=36).
Results Plasma cystatin C–calculated eGFR did not differ at baseline and 1 year between groups. One-year PTCO2 was higher than baseline in the HCO3 group (21.2±1.3 versus 19.5±1.5 mM; P<0.01) and the fruits and vegetables group (19.9±1.7 versus 19.3±1.9 mM; P<0.01), consistent with improved metabolic acidosis, and was higher in the HCO3 than the fruits and vegetable group (P<0.001). One-year urine indices of kidney injury were lower than baseline in both groups. Plasma [K+] did not increase in either group.
Conclusions One year of fruits and vegetables or NaHCO3 in individuals with stage 4 CKD yielded eGFR that was not different, was associated with higher-than-baseline PTCO2, and was associated with lower-than-baseline urine indices of kidney injury. The data indicate that fruits and vegetables improve metabolic acidosis and reduce kidney injury in stage 4 CKD without producing hyperkalemia.

Gwen Stefani Shares New Look at Engagement Ring on 'The Voice'
by Chris Haney December 2, 2020
written by Chris Haney December 2, 2020
On Monday night, pop star Gwen Stefani showed up to "The Voice" while wearing her new engagement ring on television for the first time.
Stefani, 51, got engaged to her fellow "The Voice" coach and country star Blake Shelton back in October. However, fans caught their first glimpse of the singer's engagement ring during the singing competition's first round of live shows.
Previous to Monday night's episode, all other recent shows were filmed before Shelton proposed to Stefani. Therefore, fans of the show are just now being treated to the pair as an engaged couple.
During last night's show, Shelton mentioned the couple's engagement in passing while complimenting a contestant's performance.
"Not to be weird, my fianceé's right there … I love you guys," Shelton said of the group Worth the Wait.
Additionally, "The Voice" host Carson Daly also acknowledged the couple's recent engagement. In fact, as he introduced country singer Ben Allen, he called him the musician that "Gwen stole from her fiancé" during the show's knockout round.
Stefani "Picking Country" For the Rest of Her Life
Two weeks ago, Stefani shared an amusing clip from "The Voice" of the four coaches debating on how to pick singers.
"My team is so eclectic," the singer explained, saying she's had a hard time choosing between singers. "They can't compete with each other because they're so different. So how do you choose two different styles, you know?"
"If it's always a tie between talent, then you go with the country artist," her country singer fiancé jokingly responded.
"Okay," Stefani said, nodding. "For the rest of my life, I'm gonna pick country."
"I chose country @BlakeShelton #TeamGwen #TheVoice," Stefani tweeted along with the short clip from the show.
I chose country 😂😂😂 gx @BlakeShelton #TeamGwen #TheVoice pic.twitter.com/7k82OyBsW2
— Gwen Stefani (@gwenstefani) November 17, 2020
In other "The Voice" news, Stefani also recently announced that she will step down from her position on the show next season. Singer and actor Nick Jonas will replace Stefani for Season 20, which should be any easy transition since he was on the show's 18th season as well.

Circuit Court split on rehearing judicial canons case
August 31, 2010 | Michael W. Hoskins
Keywords 7th Circuit Court of Appeals / Court opinions / First Amendment / Judge Theresa Springmann / neglect / U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana
Northern District dismisses patent infringement claims against major retailers
Justices deny transfer to child custody case, but David dissents based on decisions that 'circumvent' appellate rule
Opinions Jan. 13, 2022
Indiana's two federal appeals judges disagree about whether the full 7th Circuit Court of Appeals should reconsider a Wisconsin case about the judicial code of conduct in that state, paving the way for a further battle before the nation's highest court that could influence Indiana's judicial canons.
What happens with this case may set the stage for what ultimately happens with a similar suit out of Indiana, in which a three-judge 7th Circuit panel recently upheld the state's judicial canons and found they didn't infringe upon constitutional free speech rights.
A per curiam decision came today in The Hon. John Siefert v. James C. Alexander, et al., No. 09-1713, in which a majority of the 10 active Circuit judges decided not to grant a rehearing en banc. Chief Judge Frank Easterbrook and Judges Joel Flaum, Michael Kanne, Richard Posner, and John Tinder opted against rehearing. Judges David Hamilton, Illana Rovner, Ann Williams, and Diane Wood voted for the full court to rehear the appeal. Judge Diane Sykes didn't participate, and one of the active seats remains vacant.
In June, the three-judge panel of Judges Flaum, Rovner, and Tinder issued a 2-1 ruling in Siefert v. Alexander, 608 F.3fd 974 (7th Circuit 2010). Judge Rovner had dissented from the ruling, which simultaneously held that Wisconsin couldn't prevent judges from being members of political parties but it could restrict partisan activities such as endorsing non-judicial candidates or personal fundraising. That decision relied heavily on the Supreme Court of the United States ruling in Republican Party of Minnesota v. White, 536 U.S. 765 (2002,) regarding free speech issues in relation to judicial elections and campaigns, as well as the more recent ruling last year in Caperton v. A.T. Massey Coal Co., 129 S. Ct. 2252, 2266-67 (2009), and how newer lines of litigation have delved into subtopics.
On Aug. 20, a 7th Circuit panel relied on the Siefert decision in its ruling on Torrey Bauer, David Certo, and Indiana Right to Life v. Randall T. Shepard, et al., No. 09-2963, which affirmed a judgment from U.S. Judge Theresa Springmann in the Northern District of Indiana dismissing the judicial canons suit.
Dissenting today, Judge Rovner wrote on behalf of the dissenting judges that the 7th Circuit appears to be an outlier on these issues nationally and that recently the 6th and 8th Circuits have struck down as unconstitutional state statutes restricting First Amendment rights of judges and judicial canons.
"Our divergent opinions on this issue is an outlier and should be reheard en banc," she wrote.
Terre Haute attorney Jim Bopp, who represented the plaintiff and also represents the Indiana plaintiffs in the Bauer case, couldn't be immediately reached today to comment on this ruling or whether he'll file a writ of certiorari to the SCOTUS.

Based on a rigid grid of squares and triangles, FF Gothic is probably Neville Brody's most strictly constructed type family. In spite of the simplicity of the basic forms, its many variations allow for play and variety.
Xavier Dupré designed FF Tartine Script and FF Jambono in 2000–2001, while he worked as a type designer in a packaging design agency in Paris. Dupré just wanted to have a complete font up his sleeve when he needed to whip up a logo for someone. FF Tartine Script is an informal face specially developed for food packaging, but it is also good for logos, or in short texts, or wherever you like.

Along with the Fort Worth Opera's recent announcement that legendary Spanish tenor Placido Domingo will head its new National Artistic Council "to help preserve and uphold the company's vision and artistic integrity," it looks like the Cowtown company will become more international.
But there's one priority that stands above all else.
"The goal will be for us to strengthen the financial health of the company," Hiltunen says.
Illick, 58, who has conducted many operas here and around the country, and has been artistic director of opera companies in Florida and Louisiana, notes that the dedication to new works — with which Woods took the company to national fame — will remain.
Hiltunen was born in the Arctic Circle town of Rovaniemi, Finland, to a family of reindeer herders.
He moved to London to study at the famed Guildhall School of Music and Drama, auditioning in the same cycle as noted film actors Damian Lewis ("Homeland") and Joseph Fiennes ("Shakespeare in Love").
After those studies, Hiltunen was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to Columbia University, studying with such innovative theater makers as Anne Bogart and Andrei Serban.
A lyric baritone, he has worked in theater, opera and film in Finland, England and the United States, performing with the Metropolitan Opera and New York Philharmonic, and had a small speaking role in the 2009 film "Confessions of a Shopaholic" starring Isla Fisher.
He is familiar with Texas. Husband Damon Clyde, a San Antonio native with family there, works for OutRight Action International, a New York-based organization promoting global LGBTIQ human rights. Hiltunen also notes that, given his reindeer herding heritage, he feels a connection to Fort Worth's "cowboys and culture" slogan.
"I am very impressed with [Tuomas]," Illick says. "He knows what's happening in the world of opera. It is deriving its work from a wider arrange of sources, medieval music to cyber-technology.
Illick says that the Fort Worth Opera plans to continue programs instituted under Woods' watch, such as the Frontiers new works initiative, and Noches de Opera, a commitment to Hispanic composers. As for the festival format, it will remain intact for at least the next few years, but Illick mentions wanting to expand programming throughout the season, in addition to the festival.
For Hiltunen, those decisions will come after he has had time to get to know the company, staff and most importantly, the community.

Sir Alex Hails Berba's 'Fantastic Achievement' 27/11/2010
Boss Sir Alex Ferguson hailed Dimitar Berbatov's tally of 5 goals against Blackburn Rovers as a 'fantastic achievement'. Manchester United defeated The Riversiders by 7 goals to 1. Ji-Sung Park and Luis Nani also made their way onto the scoresheet in an eight goal thriller at Old Trafford…
It took Berbatov just 72 seconds to put United in front at The Theatre Of Dreams, with Ji-Sung Park following-up in due course. Berba then added one either side of half time, with Luis Nani bagging The Red's fifth. Dimitar scored twice more, with Blackburn responding with a consolation late on.
The seven goals, including five from the Bulgarian springboards United into top spot in the Premier League. Arsenal's 4-2 win over Aston Villa was quickly forgotten, as fans look to Newcastle United to add to the rot at Chelsea. A win on any form for Carlo Ancelotti's side will place them back on top, as The Red Devils stand three points ahead with the same goal difference.
You can put that table in perspective by thinking back two weeks – when Sir Alex Ferguson found himself 12 goals off Chelsea's goal diversity. Meanwhile, Berbatov finds himself top of the Premier League goalscoring list – on 11 goals, with Carlos Tevez his nearest threat on 9.
DimiSTAR BerbaTOP
"Both Berbatov and Wayne were fantastic today." Sir Alex said, reflecting on the infatic win. "They were a constant threat with their movement and passing, their one-twos. It was a top performance from both of them. It's a fantastic achievement. And he could have had six with that header at the end. Paul Robinson made a very good save."
"Strikers don't feel as though they're doing the right job unless they're scoring. We've been searching for that consistency of performance in terms of our rhythm and tempo we've always been noted for. It came together today very well. Today it was back to normal. It was very pleasing, particularly because we've scored so many goals and improved our goal difference. It was a good team performance." the boss added.

No one noticed the difference Anderson made in midfield. He charged through them and gave the team impetus. A great liberation for the team after watching Scholes, Carrick and Fletcher tapping the ball from one to other and never going pass anyone ever. For all Scholes greatness, his long cross field passes have become predictably monotonous, and Carrick and Fletcher's horizontal taps and continuous looking for Scholes, even when he's not on the pitch, drives me nuts. All hail the return of the mighty lungs, the wee king Anderson.
Mind you, it was just Blackburn on an off day…
Sun, 28 Nov 2010 1:15:37 pm
Anderson played a pivotal role in most of the build up to most of the goals scored and my credit definitely goes to him. His surging runs kept the opponents on their toes. Midfield play was the key to our performance and credit to Anderson the unseen hero of the night.
Mon, 29 Nov 2010 6:54:26 am
thank God,some1 notices the real performer on the day, i really believe the carrick-ando central pair should continue to play against the weaker sides atleast.
Mon, 29 Nov 2010 9:14:50 pm
I was at Old Trafford and was also impressed with Anderson , he played with an urgency thats been missing from midfield , this seemed to rub off on everyone , ok Blackburn were missing 7 players but United had to play their part and they were very clinical in every department.
For me I would have said possession was approx 80-20 percent to united but I read in a paper it was 60-40 shocking.
65-35 percent on here ,still baffles me that lol


If you saw a father patting his son on the back while smiling happily, what would you think was going on? You would probably think that the father was congratulating his son on doing something well, maybe passing an exam or winning a race. You would know what was going on because you understood the message conveyed by the father's body language. Across the world, a pat on the back and a smile usually means, "Well done".
Body language is used every single day by people of different nationalities all over the world. It is a language without words that consists of gestures, facial expressions and body movements that greatly add to — and sometimes even replace — spoken language. Body language is used to communicate both attitudes and feelings from affection to anger just like any other language, but it differs from spoken language as it is not always explicit. Somebody jumping for joy is easy to see while a raised eyebrow conveying doubt is easier to miss.
People often use body language on purpose. Someone who does not know the answer to a question will move their shoulders upwards away from their upper body and then let them fall, meaning "I don't know". However, body language can be unconscious as well. A person who is feeling uncomfortable or nervous will often hold their body in a very rigid manner and have a tight look about their mouths. They might also cross their arms and move in an abrupt way resembling a robot more than a human. They might not even realise how they are acting but their body language will tell anyone who cares to look closely enough how they are feeling. Body language can therefore make people's feelings more transparent as although we can lie with words, it is not as easy to do so with our bodies.
Learning to be aware of your body language can be a very useful tool. For example, in a job interview, you will probably be feeling nervous but you won't want to appear to be in a state of unrest. You will want to appear calm with as much dignity as possible. Merely by uncrossing your arms, you will look more confident.
Body language can be very useful when people do not share a common spoken language. For example, in foreign countries, it is very easy to purchase something simply by smiling and pointing at what you want. On the other hand, you can also easily show what you don't like by shaking your head. You can negotiate the price by using your fingers and even ask questions by using your hands to outline the shapes of things you want — although this can cause confusion and a few laughs too!
However, body language can sometimes be ambiguous. Although every culture around the world uses the same gestures and expressions, they use them in different ways. For example, an American tourist at a German hotel might give an "OK" sign by making a circle with his fingers. Unlike in America where this sign means everything is fine, in Germany, this gesture can cause offense. Another example is that in most cultures to nod one's head means "Yes" and to shake one's head means "No" while in some cultures the opposite is true!
Regardless of these differences, experts agree that across the globe there is one form of body language that receives universal approval — the smile. Smiling has a high success rate so never be afraid to use it — even when you're nervous — and especially in foreign countries!
Yesterday, another student and I, representing our university's student association, went to the Capital International Airport to meet this year's international students. They were coming to study at Beijing University. We would take them first to their dormitories and then to the student canteen. After half an hour of waiting for their flight to arrive, I saw several young people enter the waiting area looking around curiously. I stood for a minute watching them and then went to greet them.
The first person to arrive was Tony Garcia from Colombia, closely followed by Julia Smith from Britain. After I met them and then introduced them to each other, I was very surprised. Tony approached Julia, touched her shoulder and kissed her on the cheek! She stepped back appearing surprised and put up her hands, as if in defence. I guessed that there was probably a major misunderstanding. Then Akira Nagata from Japan came in smiling, together with George Cook from Canada. As they were introduced, George reached his hand out to the Japanese student. Just at that moment, however, Akira bowed so his nose touched George's moving hand. They both apologized — another cultural mistake!
Ahmed Aziz, another international student, was from Jordan. When we met yesterday, he moved very close to me as I introduced myself. I moved back a bit, but he came closer to ask a question and then shook my hand. When Darlene Coulon from France came dashing through the door, she recognized Tony Garcia's smiling face. They shook hands and then kissed each other twice on each cheek, since that is the French custom when adults meet people they know. Ahmed Aziz, on the contrary, simply nodded at the girls. Men from Middle Eastern and other Muslim countries will often stand quite close to other men to talk but will usually not touch women.
As I get to know more international friends, I learn more about this cultural "body language". Not all cultures greet each other the same way, nor are they comfortable in the same way with touching or distance between people. In the same way that people communicate with spoken language, they also express their feelings using unspoken "language" through physical distance, actions or posture. English people, for example, do not usually stand very close to others or touch strangers as soon as they meet. However, people from places like Spain, Italy or South American countries approach others closely and are more likely to touch them. Most people around the world now greet each other by shaking hands, but some cultures use other greetings as well, such as the Japanese, who prefer to bow.
These actions are not good or bad, but are simply ways in which cultures have developed. I have seen, however, that cultural customs for body language are very general - not all members of a culture behave in the same way. In general, though, studying international customs can certainly help avoid difficulties in today's world of cultural crossroads!

Lexington's Top Unsigned Seniors
By Russ Abner
Posted On: 02/8/18 8:37 AM
Photo Credit: Josh Moore, Lexington Herald-Leader
Lexington isn't just the Horse Capital of the World, it's full of players who can play at many different levels of college basketball. Last year's Mr. Basketball (and now Western Kentucky diaper dandy) Taveion Hollingsworth is tearing it up at the Division One level, and 20+ players over the last few years have went on to play college basketball somewhere. PHKY takes a look at Lexington's top unsigned seniors here:
Eric Boone, Bryan Station, Guard
One of the city's top players, Boone helped Bryan Station blaze through a 11 game winning streak to start the season. The defenders are currently 19-5, with Boone averaging 20.5 points and 11.3 rebounds per game. Boone currently holds offers from Kentucky State and Kentucky Wesleyan, both D2 programs. He's also gaining a ton of interest from programs at the JUCO level. If Boone keeps it up, he may find himself playing on a D1 roster some day.
Alexander Payne, Lexington Catholic, Forward
The son of University of Kentucky assistant coach Kenny Payne, "Zan" is Catholic's do-it-all guy. Standing at 6'5, Payne is averaging 20.8 points and and just under 10 rebounds per game. College destination is "TBD" at this point.
Justin Mitchell, Frederick Douglass, Guard
Mitchell has the size and athleticism to be a very good shooting guard at the next level. Averaging 15.8 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, high level NAIA's or D2 schools could really allow Mitchell to showcase his talent and ability. A season or two at the JUCO level could also allow growth and maturation in Mitchell's game.
Terrence Clayton-Murphy, Bryan Station, Guard
Clayton-Murphy could play at any tier of small college basketball and have some sort of impact. Averaging 13 points per game, he is quick with the ball in his hands, allowing him to get by defenders or bait them into backing off to showcase an improved dribble pull-up. In-state NAIA's have shown interest throughout the season.
Eric Powell, Lafayette, Guard
Powell has been a leader for a Lafayette team that has been a pleasant surprise in the 11th Region this year (with wins against Madison Central, Doss, Lexington Catholic, and Bryan Station). Powell is averaging 14 points per game and 4 rebounds. He can get hot quick from behind the 3-point line and get after it defensively.
Keegan Bailey, Lexington Catholic, Guard
The Knights starting lead guard, Bailey is an underrated player who has potential to play at both the NAIA and D3 levels. When you see Bailey, who stands under 6 foot tall, you wouldntthink he'd be able to do some of the things he capable of doing in warm-ups. I know that sounds silly, but Bailey is freakishly athletic for his size. He is averaging 10 points per game for Catholic this season and has shown an ability to knock down 3-point shots. He totaled eight three's against Henry County earlier in the year.
Max Sparkman, Lexington Catholic, Forward
Sparkman has good size and ability to play at the NAIA or D3 level. He's also been a part of some very successful teams during his high school career at Lexington Catholic.
Cameron King, Lafayette, Guard
Another reason for Lafayette's success this season, senior guard Cameron King. King is averaging 10.6 points per game while shooting 55% from 3-point range. Another Lexington prospect capable of playing at the NAIA or D3 level.

Based on the author's experiences of living as an American in Iran, Kristen Alvanson's XYZT is a wildly imaginative dramatisation of the idea of a 'dialogue of civilizations' and its potentially outlandish ramifications.
As part of an advanced technological test program, volunteers are shuttled back and forth between the US and Iran, hidden from the watchful eyes of immigration police and state bureaucracies. Each is given a single opportunity to be received by a local host and to have a brief authentic experience of what it means to live as 'them' before being transported back home.
But far from heralding the bliss of mutual recognition, the experiment unleashes a series of displacements so disorienting that the fabric of reality begins to fray. Ordinary people become entangled in extraordinary situations, and everyday life bleeds into mythological encounters, alternate universes and dark psychedelic journeys in alien lands where the real and the imaginary are indistinguishable.
A treasury of tales told from multiple perspectives and in a multiplicity of styles, Alvanson's debut novel is an audacious cross-genre experiment, a firsthand memoir of what it means to see what 'they' see, and a science-fictional, non-standard engagement with anthropology in which cross-cultural encounters take on all the unpredictable features of a contemporary fairy tale.

YIZUMI bucks global trend, exceeding sales expectations
| Article appears in November 2022 Issue
YIZUMI has bucked the downward global trend faced by the plastics industry, by recording a 40% increase in sales of injection moulding machines, exceeding CNY 2 billion.
A commitment to developing close relationships with its customer base, proactive investment in products, markets and lean manufacturing – coupled with the rapid recovery of China's domestic and export markets – contributed significantly to YIZUMI's growth.
Tao Zhang, YIZUMI Deputy Managing Director & General Manager of Injection Moulding Machine Division, believes that demand for 3C, medical, packaging, small appliances, 5G, building materials and other plastic-dependent items is particularly strong, thus leading to a sales surge in YIZUMI machines.
According to Mr Tao, this success is facilitated by YIZUMI's proactive implementation of lean production.
"The assembly line for small and medium-tonnage models was successfully put into operation in early 2020 after the introduction of the lean manufacturing model," Mr Tao explained.
"It has greatly enhanced the company's production efficiency and delivery capacity with an increase of 60% in production capacity year-on-year."
Despite the COVID-19 pandemic sweeping across the world, YIZUMI has exceeded performance in both the Chinese and international markets.
"Our uninterrupted service is still maintained even during the pandemic. Combined with the remote technical support and training provided by the YIZUMI service teams, the company generates a lot of customer confidence in its products," Mr Tao explained.
In 2021, YIZUMI added more than 30 K1 clients to its list, including world-leading auto parts manufacturers, companies in the 5G industry, brands in the building materials manufacture, sanitary ware manufacturers and the medical packaging industry.
To remain competitive in the market, YIZUMI upgraded its products in 2020 and launched several new ones including the 3200DP auto bumper moulding system, which completed the construction of all automated units and detection units required by the fully automated auto bumper moulding.
"This offers a stable system operation with rapid mould changing, high-efficient moulding process and industry-leading technical indicators, providing customers in the auto industry an integrated solution," Mr Tao said.
YIZUMI also completed the development of various multi-component machines including the 1600D1 three-colour two-platen injection moulding machine, 420A5-EU two-colour injection moulding machine, 1000A5 two-colour injection moulding machine and 260A5 hydraulic and electric three-colour injection moulding machine.
YIZUMI is stepping up its efforts to serve the global market and enhance the application capacity of integrated solutions by providing better products and services through the development of new technologies, processes and the creation of locally based manufacturing plants.
In the past two years, YIZUMI has been increasing its investment in upgrading electric injection moulding machines and independently developing the servo direct control technology (SDC), the smart clamping force management (SCFM) system, the smart injection control technology, closed-loop injection pressure control technology and the contact-free tie bar technology and built-in hydraulic pump station. While improving the core performance of precision injection moulding, these technologies make the machines cleaner and more adaptable to products and moulds.

The Irish Mandolin – a website from Aidan Crossey
Mandolin players' favourite sets
We all have favourite sets. The ones we instinctively turn to playing when we're sat at home with the mandolin in our hands. Or when we're given the nod in a session to kick off a few tunes… Sets that we've learned from other musicians – from recordings or from sessions. Sets that we've put together ourselves… These are some favourite sets submitted by both myself and other mandolin players from around the world. Hopefully you'll get some inspiration from them… Many thanks to Michael Gregory for suggesting this new feature in the site. I'm always open to new submissions so use the contact me page to get in touch with your suggestions.
Submitted by Sets
Aidan Crossey The Humours of Glendart (https://thesession.org/tunes/45)/ Pay The Reckoning (https://thesession.org/tunes/1805) I got these jigs from the Planxty album "After The Break" where they play the set East At Glendart/Bryan O'Lynn/Pay The Reckoning. This is possibly my "go to" set. Both tunes are well-known but not too hackneyed and nine times out of ten this leads to most of the players being able to join in and "give 'er diddy".
The Nightcap (https://thesession.org/tunes/5483)/ The Frost Is All Over (https://thesession.org/tunes/448) I got The Nightcap from an old, scratchy recording from back in the 1920s. It teams well with The Frost Is All Over.
The Nightingale (https://thesession.org/tunes/1868)/ Junior Crehan's (The Luathradain) (https://thesession.org/tunes/1851) I learned The Nightingale fairly recently after Michael O'Meara sent me a mandolin version. A gorgeous jig, composed by Sean Ryan. It seemed to my ear to lead naturally into the second jig which I learned from now-defunct sessions in the now-defunct White Horse in Bethnal Green. One of my absolute favourite jigs.
The Rakes Of Kildare (Major Version)/ The Rakes Of Kildare (Minor Version) (https://thesession.org/tunes/84) I found it really pleasing to the ear to have the minor version of this tune follow the major. I'd never heard anyone else combine the two. However I started this set one night in a pub locally and one of the fiddlers followed me immediately into the minor version and said that it had been one of his favourite sets for many years.
An Paistin Fionn (https://thesession.org/tunes/13805)/ Sport (https://thesession.org/tunes/870) The first tune I got from a recording by the concertina player Mary McNamara called The Blackberry Blossom. It goes well with the beautiful 3 part jig composed by Peadar O Riada.
An Rogaire Dubh (https://thesession.org/tunes/1076)/ Na Ceannabhain Bhana (https://thesession.org/tunes/612) A classic set – either played in this direction or the other – i.e. Na Ceannabhain Bhana first.
Condon's Frolics (https://thesession.org/tunes/1244)/ The Eavesdropper (https://thesession.org/tunes/389) Learned from the playing of Paddy Keenan and the late Arty McGlynn on the album Poirt An Phiobaire
Michael Gregory Ellen O'Leary's (https://thesession.org/tunes/12233)/ Port Dalai (https://thesession.org/tunes/15340) Learned from a youtube video Eoghan O'Sullivan (accordion) and Paul de Grae (guitar)
John Dickinson Paddy Burke's (https://thesession.org/tunes/10967)/
The Lark In The Morning (https://thesession.org/tunes/62)
John says: "I think I learned Paddy Burke's from one of Shane Farell's youtube banjo videos along with (maybe) The Lark in the Morning but that's a long time favourite tune I remember being played with vigour on the Uilleann pipes in a bar in Liscannor!" (NB: Aidan Crossey adds – Paddy Burke's is more commonly known as "The (Rollicking) Boys Of Tandragee" – a small town in my home county, Armagh."
Aidan Crossey The Sunny Banks (https://thesession.org/tunes/1453)/ The Mills Are Grinding (https://thesession.org/tunes/5779) The first tune I've known since forever. The second tune I got from the album The Smoky Chimney by Gerry Harrington, Eoghan O'Sullivan and Paul de Grae. Together they simply sound sprightly and happy.
The Glass Of Beer (https://thesession.org/tunes/188)/ The Flowers Of Red Hill (https://thesession.org/tunes/442)/ The Monaghan Twig (https://thesession.org/tunes/1070) The transition from B Minor to a modal A key gives this set a great lift. I got the first tune from a session somehere in the dim and distant past. The second tune I got from a Bothy Band album, And The Monaghan Twig is simply one of my favourite reels and seems to find a home almost anywhere. It's trotted out regularly at The Blythe Hill Tavern session, often in surprising company! One of my favourite recordings is by James Kelly, Paddy O'Brien and Daithi Sproule.
The Wedding Reel (https://thesession.org/tunes/518)/ Miss Monaghan (https://thesession.org/tunes/471/ The Monaghan Twig (https://thesession.org/tunes/1070) I heard The Wedding Reel for the first time at a session and was immediately drawn to the syncopation in the second part. (Which was unusual, because I usually find that syncopation grates on me a bit…) I found it slid quite well into Miss Monaghan – a classic two part reel. And I like to end this off with a cheeky transition to The Monaghan Twig; as I said above, it's one of my all time favourite tunes and it can give a set a great sense of lift. And I quite enjoy the humour of combining two tunes with Monaghan in the title!
Sailing Into Walpole's Marsh (https://thesession.org/tunes/1341)/ The Boys Of The Lough (https://thesession.org/tunes/343) I saw Paul Brady and Andy Irvine play at The Barbican in London a while back. Brady played Walpole's Marsh on mandolin and it was a moment of pure magic. Although I had found this quite a hard tune to get my head around, I made an effort to learn it. It makes a great companion – in my opinion – for The Boys Of The Lough which is a grand old reel indeed.
Jim Donoghue's (https://thesession.org/tunes/2536)/ Lafferty's (https://thesession.org/tunes/496) John Carty plays the first reel as the opening track on his album "At It Again" – numerous times round, numerous variations. Pure magic. I defy anyone who hears him play to resist learning this great reel. I like to run it into Lafferty's, a very well-known reel and a great session favourite.
The Green Fields Of Rosbeigh (https://thesession.org/tunes/322)/ The Green Mountain (https://thesession.org/tunes/166) Rosbeigh is a tune you'd hear fairly often in sessions. Having said that, for some reason it took me a while to learn it and it's only made its way in to my repertoire in the past few years. But it fitted in like it had always been there! I like to riff on the "green" theme by following it with The Green Mountain. Many people see a great resemblance between The Green Mountain and the somewhat overplayed Maid Behind The Bar. Apart from the odd phrase, I find them very different indeed, with The Green Mountain far more pleasing to my ear!
The Fairy Reel (https://thesession.org/tunes/424)/ The Old Torn Petticoat (https://thesession.org/tunes/368) I would never have thought of combining these two tunes in a set but was very taken by Danu's pipes-led version on their album "The Road Less Travelled". Great stuff!
The Duke Of Leinster (https://thesession.org/tunes/1385) /The Duke Of Leinster's Wife (https://thesession.org/tunes/2050)/ Tommy Peoples' (https://thesession.org/tunes/1100) The first two tunes are a classic set, so much so that the second tune – also known as The Ladies' Pantalettes – has become known as the "wife" of the first! The Duke Of Leinster's Wife generates a bit of controversy in that some people play the "F"s in the second part as natural and therefore out of keeping with the key signature, whereas others play them sharp. I have recorded the tune in the "learn some tunes" section of the site with the "F"s natural. However after playing some tunes a little while ago with a flute-player friend of mine, I have begun to lean towards playing them sharp. I find that the Duke Of Leinster's Wife leads very naturally into the final tune – possibly the best-known of the many reels named after Tommy Peoples and I've noticed that it has "osmosed" into one or two sessions in which I've played locally.
The Humours Of Ballyconnell (https://thesession.org/tunes/1428)/ Swinging On A Gate (https://thesession.org/tunes/236) I got this set from the second track of a recording by Seamus Quinn and Gary Hastings called "Slan Le Loch Eirne".
The Corner House (https://thesession.org/tunes/479)/ Jenny's Wedding (https://thesession.org/tunes/1347) I got this set from the opening track of Paddy Keenan's album "Na Keen Affair", where he's joined by Tommy Peoples who takes the lead on the first tune. Jenny's Wedding is regarded as a classic piper's tune but it fits well on the mandolin and is a pleasure to play – as well as to listen to!
Michael Gregory The Galtee Rangers (https://thesession.org/tunes/724)/ The Gleanntan (https://thesession.org/tunes/1759)/ O'Callaghan's (https://thesession.org/tunes/1731) The Galtee Rangers Set -sometimes referred to as the Sliabh Luachra National Anthem. All three tunes are recorded on the seminal album "The Star Above the Garter" but only the first two are played together there. Jackie Daly added on the 3rd tune and he says that this set is now played in nearly every Sliabh Luachra session, usually at the end.
The Banks Of The Ilen (https://thesession.org/tunes/747)/ Tom Billy's (https://thesession.org/tunes/900) Another set which could well stake its claim to "national anthem" status!
Rolling In The Ryegrass (https://thesession.org/tunes/87)/ Johnny When You Die (https://thesession.org/tunes/15252)/ Anything For John Joe (https://thesession.org/tunes/2425) Michael got these tunes from the album "Rolling On" by Matt Cranitch and Jackie Daly.
John DIckinson Paddy Fahey's No. 1 (https://thesession.org/tunes/463)/Julia Delaney (https://thesession.org/tunes/589)
John says: "These are newly learned … Julia Delaney's from your website and Paddy Fahey's from a facebook post by Rodney Lancaster of Cat Melodeon (Sligo)… he mentions that the set may be called 'The Cow In The Flowers'.
Bren O'Leary A long-time friend – both in the ether and in real-life occasionally – Bren likes to play these three Scottish reels as his "failsafe" when sitting in on an unfamiliar session. (Bren's job has seen him globe-trot, always with a mandolin in his luggage and always on the look-out for a good session in any town in which he finds himself…)
Colgrave Soond (can't find a decent link to dots, abc or tab for that – sorry. Here's a link to Jenna Reid showing you how to play it on fiddle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9T_nt_nAgI)/Spootiskerry (https://thesession.org/tunes/857)/ Robertson's (https://thesession.org/tunes/6530)
Aidan Crossey The Harp And Shamrock (https://thesession.org/tunes/1802)/ The Tailor's Twist (https://thesession.org/tunes/996) I'm ashamed to say that it took me quite a while to appreciate the sheer glory of hornpipes. Possibly because – truth be told – some of the most gorgeous hornpipes are also quite hard to play! These two tunes, however, are very easy on the ear and very easy on the fingers!
The Stack Of Barley (https://thesession.org/tunes/2224)/ The Showman's Fancy (https://thesession.org/tunes/1777) The Stack Of Barley is a quintessential tune and – incidentally – one of the tunes mentioned in The Galway Shawl (alongside The Blackbird, Rodney's Glory and The Foggy Dew). If pushed to do that impossible thing and name a single tune to name as my all-time favourite, I'd be very inclined to nominate The Showman's Fancy. It's simply infectious – and infectiously simple!
Michael Gregory The Wicklow (https://thesession.org/tunes/309)/ The Plains Of Boyle (https://thesession.org/tunes/652) Suggested to a friend of Michael's by Paddy O'Brien.
Michael Gregory Dan Jeremiah's (https://thesession.org/tunes/19422)/ Paudy Scully's (https://thesession.org/tunes/4153)/ The Game Cock (https://thesession.org/tunes/11914) Hear Michael play these tunes via the following links. https://crosseyirishmandolin.files.wordpress.com/2020/06/dan-jeremiahs-slide.mp3
https://crosseyirishmandolin.files.wordpress.com/2020/06/paudy-scullys-slide.mp3
https://crosseyirishmandolin.files.wordpress.com/2020/06/game-cock.mp3
The Scart (https://thesession.org/tunes/4024)/ Is It The Priest You Want? (https://thesession.org/tunes/1765) / Barrack Hill (https://thesession.org/tunes/1014) Learned from the wonderful album with the title Midleton Rare by Daithi Kearney (banjo) and John Cronin (accordion).
The Brosna (https://thesession.org/tunes/1414)/ The Scartaglen (https://thesession.org/tunes/7449)/ Padraig O'Keefe's Favourite (https://thesession.org/tunes/5862)/ Nelly Mahony's (https://thesession.org/tunes/5286) This big slide set was a favourite of the Sliabh Luachra legendary box player, Johnny O'Leary. To those in the know, it's simply called "The Brosna Set"…
Aidan Crossey Farewell To Whiskey (https://thesession.org/tunes/1529)/ Number 5 (https://thesession.org/tunes/7395) The first tune in played "northern polka" style – unlike the sort of Kerry polkas with which we're all probably more familiar. Hence it leads very well into the march Number 5 – a tune from the Orange fife and drum tradition which I learned from the (ecumenical) playing of Gary Hastings.
Leather Away The Wattle-O (https://thesession.org/tunes/2286)/ The Lakes Of Sligo (https://thesession.org/tunes/393) Sometimes in a session there's a need for something just a little bit different to leaven the jigs and the reels. This is one of my go-to sets when a 2/4 time signature is called for!
Michael Gregory The Knocknaboul Polkas (https://thesession.org/tunes/1764 and https://thesession.org/tunes/3023) These are both in Matt Cranitch's Irish Fiddle Book, an indispensable resource for Sliabh Luachra afficionados.
The Ballydesmond Polkas (https://thesession.org/tunes/238 and https://thesession.org/tunes/239)/ Egan's (https://thesession.org/tunes/39) People ascribe numbers to the Ballydesmond Polkas, but they don't always agree which tune is which number. Follow the links to get the tunes in the order in which Michael plays them.
Aidan Crossey Pearl O'Shaughnessy's Number 1 (https://thesession.org/tunes/4321 – the first two parts as notated in transcription number 1)/ Pearl O'Shaughnessy's Number 2 (the final two parts as notated in the transcription linked in the above) (barndances) I got these two rather tricky tunes from "The Smoky Chimney" by Eoghan O'Sullivan, Gerry Harrington and Paul de Grae. A classic album that I always return to when I need my spirits lifting!
The Dances At Kinvara (https://thesession.org/tunes/2380)/ The Hills Of Tara (https://thesession.org/tunes/2998) (barndances) The first of these tunes – and to my ear a thing of great beauty – was written by Ed Reavey, who gave the world of Irish music so many grand melodies. The second is another tune which I got from "The Smoky Chimney".

Messi breaks two more records, and Lanús are still alive in the Libertadores (video)
Tuesday evening was an eventful one in Argentine football. First of all, in Spain, Lionel Messi scored another hat trick for Barcelona. His second goal made him Barcelona's all-time highest goalscorer in competitive matches, and his third meant he became the first player in the history of Spanish football to score 54 goals in all competitions in a single season. Later, Lanús beat Emelec 2-0 away in the Copa Libertadores, with goals five minutes in and five minutes from the end, to keep their hopes of qualification alive. And even later than that, Tigre drew 1-1 with Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata in the Copa Argentina, going on to beat them on penalties thanks in no small part to goalkeeper Daniel Islas stepping a good yard off his line for all of Gimnasia's penalties. Videos of all three games are right here.
Spanish Primera División: Barcelona 5 – 3 Granada
Messi still has a way to go to catch Paulino Alcántara, who scored 369 goals, with many of them coming in Catalán First Division games that are now counted as 'friendlies' by the Spanish association. Exactly how many of Alcántara's total were scored in friendlies is as a result unknown, but including friendly matches Messi currently has 250 for Barcelona, and is fifth in the all-time standings.
Copa Libertadores Group 2: Emelec 0 – 2 Lanús
This win, Lanús' second over Emelec in a week, means they top Group 2 having played a game more than Flamengo and Olimpia, those two having a game in hand (they play each other in Asunción next week). It keeps alive Lanús' hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages, and keeps Gabriel Schürrer in a job.
Copa Argentina: Tigre 1 – 1 Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata
Tigre played with a largely reserve lineup – they can't really afford to put too many eggs in their Copa Argentina basket, since they're fighting tooth and nail to stay in the top flight in the league. They equalised close to the end of the match, before Islas' villainy in the penalty shootout saw them through the last sixteen.

The phrase "Cash is King" is well-known, but a king ignored is of no benefit. Too often I come across businesses who have less than an adequate handle on their finances. Just to be clear, knowing if the company made a profit, roughly knowing profit margins, and having an accountant prepare a P&L once a month is not Financial Mastery. Simple-but-effective financial KPIs are crucial for making sound numbers-based decisions.
If you want your business to achieve significant and sustainable growth, you'll need to know your numbers. You have to be comfortable enough with them to 'play' with them, making forecasts for different scenarios and pricing decisions. If you can master this skill, there is no business you can't run. Businesses ultimately boil down to the figures; the better you are at understanding these figures, the better your decision-making.
Running the numbers is one thing, but knowing which numbers track and to tweak for greatest impact is a whole new ball game. To start off, this 5 Growth Levers PDF will take you through the most basic financial KPIs you need to be tracking, and how influencing key areas in your business will have a massive impact on your bottom line.
Action Point: Get an accountant on board. Either hire one, or outsource your accounting work. But I don't just mean have one on the payroll. Your accountant needs to be actively involved in decision-making, in identifying areas that can be improved on, in breaking the numbers down for you. You can't know all the details, so don't waste your precious time trying to figure it out.
The next step is forcing yourself to understand what the numbers mean. You don't need a degree in accounting, an understanding of the half-dozen or so core concepts of accounts should give you most of what you need to know. Your accountant should be able to explain the rest to you.

D23 Hiring Fair – Another Success Story
December 8, 2014 Success StoriesPenny Lynch
A young lady and her father came by the D23 Hiring Fair and they were intent on finding a job. Not because she was on social services programs and wanted to get off, but because she simply had run into a stroke of bad luck. She recently lost her job, subsequently she was being evicted from her home, and not one to dwell in her misfortunes she was out performing community service with her father. When they returned home to start packing up her belongings to move out, her belongings had been stolen.
She was so disheartened that she had decided against coming to the Hiring Fair held on December 4, 2014 but her Father convinced her otherwise. When she arrived she was able to talk with some of the partners of D23 Goes 2 Work, and utilize some of the in kind services that they provide. They were able to feed her, offer her business attire, funds to relocate and obtain temporary housing. She also received 4 job offers on the spot and has several promising interviews.
Afterwards she said "…I now feel like I know where my life is headed…"
This Hiring Fair was more than just a Hiring Fair.
What Started as a Hobby Became a Career
"I was working as a truck driver when I took my first Welding course at Eastfield," says Bruce Parramore.
"I had gotten interested in welding when I built a go-cart as a home project and had decided I'd like to learn how to weld better," the Eastfield College alum says. "But after I took that first welding class — after just four months — I had learned enough that I was able to get a job in my company's welding department. Now I'm a welder instead of a truck driver."
Because hours are flexible, Parramore was able to keep his job as a truck driver while he learned welding.
"What I like about welding is that you get the chance to create something, and because it's metal it lasts just about forever," he says. "It's also really fun, and now I work on a lot of home projects I would never have been able to do before."

"I came to Cedar Valley College because my supervisor approached me at work and said that she was impressed by my job performance and was interested in mentoring me for a management position. But there was one drawback: I didn't have a college degree. She and my mother began to encourage me to consider going back to school.
Chef Tim Ellcey
Tim Ellcey didn't plan to be a chef and caterer.
"I was an education major for a while," the El Centro graduate says. "I was going to be an elementary teacher. After a while, I didn't feel like that was what I was led to do."
Now, instead of overseeing a classroom, the graduate of El Centro's Food and Hospitality Institute is watching over barbecue and other tasty food as chef-owner of Tim Ellcey Catering.
Ellcey chose El Centro's culinary program over those of other institutions for several reasons, including:
Low tuition
Industry reputation
"It was just more hands on," Ellcey says. "I just loved being around that, that kitchen and that classroom and that learning environment, where there's instructors that have been in the field for so long and they're just ready to fill you with so much information that it's going to make you successful."
Internship Opportunities Helped
"Graduating I felt very confident because you have to have so many internship practicum time
while you're there," Ellcey says. "I felt that I was very prepared to go out and find pretty much any job that was available at the time.
"The connections that I've met through there, the friends that I've met, I still am connected with them as well. As they find jobs, as they grow, I've had several, several classmates that have come to me and said, hey, you know, I'm now working at this as a sous-chef or executive chef. Are you still looking for work?"

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., Nov. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Sears and Kmart announced today a partnership with the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation a not-for-profit organization with a mission to collect and distribute new, unwrapped toys to less fortunate children this holiday. Today through November 30, Sears members and customers can make a cash donation* to the charity via checkout pin pads at all Sears stores nationwide. All proceeds from donations at Sears will be used by the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation to purchase toys for disadvantaged children during the holidays. Toys purchased will include items on the Fab 15 List to bring joy to less fortunate children.
In addition, now through December 9, more than 200 Kmart stores nationwide will display Marine Toys for Tots collection boxes. Shoppers are also invited to buy toys sold at Kmart for donation to the organization.
"Marine Toys for Tots is such a worthwhile cause. With the help of our generous customers, Sears and Kmart will help brighten the holiday season for children across America," said Peter Boutros, chief brand officer for Sears and Kmart. "This is one more example of how Sears and Kmart associates serve our local communities. We are grateful for the opportunity to assist this organization by broadening its reach to our store network and help ensure that children in need have access to toys that will certainly put smiles on their faces."
"We are very pleased to welcome Sears and Kmart as major national corporate sponsors of the 2018 Marine Toys for Tots Campaign," said retired Marine Colonel Ted Silvester, vice president of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. "Their community service goals certainly align with those the Marine Corps has promoted for over 71 years through our Toys for Tots Program," Silvester added. "With their generous support we will be able to fulfill the Christmas holiday dreams of thousands of less fortunate children who otherwise might be forgotten."

*Contributions will not be offered a tax receipt at time of donation, but may be tax deductible. Donors may not direct how funds are used, i.e., donors cannot specify the type of toy purchased or how toys are distributed.
Toys for Tots, a 71-year national charitable program run by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, provides happiness and hope to disadvantaged children during each Christmas holiday season. The toys, books and other gifts collected and distributed by the Marines offer these children recognition, confidence and a positive memory for a lifetime.

Since 1947 over 251 million children have been assisted. The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation is a not for profit organization authorized by the U.S. Marine Corps and the Department of Defense to provide fundraising and other necessary support for the annual Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program.
