COMING HOME: Emily-Mae, about to feature in Frozen at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane
One of the most anticipated West End shows of the season and one we've been waiting for the longest time is Frozen. This hit 2013 film broke so many records in the box office and reached the stage in 2018 on Broadway, now the West End premiere will soon be opening at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane on the 27th August 2021.
Emily-Mae will be appearing in the production as Bulda and in the ensemble. Before lockdown hit, she was appearing in the West End transfer of City of Angels covering the role of Donna/Ooile and Angel City 4. Her other credits include the title role in Pippi Longstocking at the Royal and Derngate, Paradise in Brooklyn the Musical at the Greenwich Theatre, Ronnette in Little Shop of Horrors at the Storyhouse in Chester, Ulla in The Producers at the Royal Exchange in Manchester and she played a Dynamite and covered Motormouth Maybelle in the National tour of Hairspray.
Talking to Emily-Mae about how she's coped over the pandemic, she tells us she'd like to think she's grown as a person throughout this, "I had lots of time alone to reflect on the world and how I navigate through it to make it better. Always leading with kindness and humour cause life is short and it's too precise to take it too seriously." She also mentions two books that made her look at how she's judges herself, those being How to fail by Elizabeth Day and Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo.
Chatting further about the pandemic with Emily-Mae, she tells us how this has made everyone look at what's really important in their lives and pointed out the things that we must be grateful for. Regarding the performing arts industry as well, we spoke about how this has affected how we look at the performing world too. "I think it's vital moving forward that the stage represents everyone in our community. Theatre is such a joyful way to inspire and reflect back to future generations."
This period of time has thrown some challenges at everyone, one of them being financial. With the majority of the performing arts industry working as a freelance that meant a lot of lost work and money for most. Emily tells us about her challenges, but how she switched it to be positive, "I found myself in a clothing warehouse back at home in Barnsley. I loved my time there and working a 9-5 was a welcome change in some respects. I made friends I would have never met and had time with my family that I'm so grateful for."
The return of the industry is happening right now with shows popping up and restarting their runs or new ones opening and being welcomed with open arms! Emily tells us that the pandemic made her appreciate her job like never before, "It's so much more than a job and not being able to do it really brought home the love I have for what I do."
Whilst Emily-Mae tells us that she is "so excited for everyone to get back to what they love and to create magic for people every night", she also tells us how important it is for people to take it one day at a time. "It's been a long time away from our jobs and it's going to be an adjustment to get back in the swing of things. Comparing yourself to others is bad in a normal situation; But mid pandemic, when everyone has been dealing with very different circumstances, it's really not worth your time."
Emily-Mae tells us how important it is to "be kind to yourself", and there isn't a kinder thing to do than book yourself a ticket to see Frozen at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. It's sure to be a magical adventure and one of the must-see shows of the year. After this difficult period, a bit of Disney magic is exactly what everyone deserves in their life!

Just Read: State of the Science: Implicit Bias Review 2013
This is a pair of reports from the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity at The Ohio State University (@KirwanInstitute) that is what it says – up to date reviews on the state of the science around implicit bias. Today, publishing on the 2013 update. There's already a 2014 update that I'll write about tomorrow, that's even more fascinating. There's a lot going on so I'll bullet point my main take aways:
Helpful definition: The main distinction between implicit and other types of bias centers on level of awareness. Explicit biases "can be consciously detected and reported" and are "endorsed." Implicit biases are so because they are "attitudes and stereotypes that are not consciously accessible through introspection."
The two are distinct but related – someone who has a high level of explicit bias probably has a high degree of implicit bias as well. There are many studies that show that people who don't have explicit bias, e.g. they don't "endorse" biased attitudes, can still have significant implicit bias.
"Politically or socially sensitive topics" are typically hard to uncover by asking people about them because of "impression management"
(editorial note from me: in many parts of society, bias against people who are transgender is not sensitive, it is freely endorsed, which makes it such a fascinating topic of our time)
What contributes to implicit bias: Lack of attention being paid to a task, cognitive load, and ambiguity, such as a strange face vs a familiar face – e.g. a busy, rushed brain doesn't process and compensate well.
Verbal versus non-verbal behavior: these are the hardest control and experience "leakage," and are usually what people notice.
Non-verbal behavior: less bias equals greater speaking time, more smiling, more social comments, fewer speech errors, fewer speech hesitations. More bias correlates with blinking more and less eye contact.
Dehumanizing language: These can activate implicit biases, for example in a courtroom when a prosecutor uses animal imagery to refer to defendants. (editorial note from me: not unlike people who refer to human beings as "a transgender" or …much worse)
The Implicit Association Test: After a decade of research, we be- lieve that the IAT has demonstrated enough reliability and validity that total denial is implausible" (Kang & Lane, 2010, p. 477).
Concept of "stereotype threat" – fear of performing to a stereotype actually reduces performance on tests
"Illusion of ojbectivity" – "when people think that they are objective, rational actors, they act on their group-based biases more rather than less" – example that when jurors think a case is "racially charged" they are MORE attentive to their biases and more thoughtful. When they don't see a case as "racially charged" they are less thoughtful and racial biases affect behavior.
Health care: Physicians' bias tends to align with the communities where they reside, they are not "less biased" and show preference toward Whites over Blacks as a group. African American physicians are different and tend not to display implicit racial preferences for Whites or Blacks. Female doctors tend to hold fewer implicit biases.
Health care: "physicians were 23% more verbally dominant and engaged in 33% less patient-cen- tered communication with African American patients than with White patients"
Health care: "culturally competent" training must be performed carefully; it may activate stereotypes or over-simplify a culture, which actually activates bias.
Debiasing: It can be done – "Studies have shown that "instead of repressing one's prejudices, if one openly acknowledges one's biases, and direct- ly challenges or refutes them, one can overcome them"
Debiasing: Exposure to counter-stereotypic individuals is weak, eg Martin Luther King Jr., vs. Timothy McVeigh, but effective — and must be connected to relevant categories (editorial note from me: I'll be doing this during the keynote, we'll see how it goes)
Debiasing: Intergroup contact: This seems to have a large body of research around it. I posted about this previously.
Debiasing: Diversity training: "An entire industry around diversity education and trainings has proliferated in re- cent years, offering participants promises of reduced prejudice and greater appreci- ation of various cultures. Studies have examined whether diversity education can counter implicit biases, though the results are mixed."
Debiasing: Taking the perspective of others: "authors suggested that the medical professionals imagine themselves as a minority group patient and write a story about that person's life"
Debiasing: Focusing on common identity. (editorial note from me: just like when I have heard physicians who are allies say, "transgender people go off and get married and have kids just like me.")
Ok, a lot here, and this is just a taste. A very important conclusion:
biases that we do not acknowledge but that persist, unchallenged, in the recesses of our minds, undoubtedly shape our society
Of course I see many parallels to health care. If we recognize that these biases exist, identify them in others, slow down, connect, have contact with people outside of environments where we take away their autonomy and power, we have the ability to behave fairly in the interest of their health.

Bakehouse is comprised of approximately 100 resident and associate artists, deriving from a rich diversity of backgrounds. Their work represents a broad range of media and practices, from painting to performance, from traditional to experimental. We are one of the largest and oldest artist-serving organizations in Miami, with studios of varying sizes, two galleries, a classroom, print room, photography lab, ceramics facilities, and woodworking and welding areas. These spaces, unavailable outside of university campuses, have and continue to enable artists to work, make, discover, learn, and share their practices and work with each other and the broader community.
Bakehouse is positioned for its next stage of development, ready to play a more critical role in the collective efforts to build a stronger and more sustainable ecosystem in Miami in which artists and the arts can thrive. A master plan is underway to determine how best to use part of its impressive 2.3-acre campus to develop affordable housing for artists and renovate its historic building for twenty-first-century artmaking.
Bakehouse Art Complex is tax exempt as a 501 (C)(3) charitable institution. Net proceeds from Fresh Goods Gallery support the organization's not-for-profit mission. For more information on the organization, its artists, exhibitions, and programs visit www.bacfl.org.

QUOTING P. SUE BECKWITH, MD, HEAD COACH LISA BLUDER
We came out today and really played our brand of basketball. We got Monika involved in this game and she went 9-for-10. McKenna, I'm really happy for her. This is her last time coming home to Madison, and last year she was hurt here. So for her to have a good game is truly special. Caitlin just became the all-time best in the Big Ten for triple doubles with seven. She took over from a fellow Iowa player in Sam Logic. She really controlled the game today and just did a tremendous job. So, congratulations to Caitlin on that. It's an amazing accomplishment."

The material in this manual is, so far as known, accessible only in a number of books. Obligation to those from which it has been gathered has not been expressed by references, which must have marked nearly every page, but, instead, a list has been appended which may be consulted if it is desired to verify statements or to study more fully any subject presented.
The object in view has not been to discuss the propriety, or lawfulness, or obligation of any matter referred to, but simply to give information.
The worship of Almighty God is one of the characteristic acts of humanity. The brute looks up to heaven, but man alone looks up with thought of God and to adore. "The entire creation grew together to reflect and repeat the glory of God, and yet the echo of God slumbered in the hollow bowels of the dumb earth until there was one who could wake up the shout by a living voice. Man is the first among the creatures to deliver back from the rolling world this conscious and delicious response, the recognition of the Father who begat him. He, and he alone, is nature's priest, her spokesman, her mediator."
The idea of worship, in which the crown and glory of manhood thus has expression, "includes all those acts which make up the devotional duty of the soul to Almighty God." Our private and family devotions are acts of worship. They enter into its obligation, are comprehended by it, but do not fill it out. They are not sufficient alone. The due acknowledgment before others of our belief in and reverence for God, the blessings which attend only upon the use of united praise and prayer and of Sacraments, the honor of God, the rendering of "thanks for the great benefits that we have received at His hands," the setting forth of "His most worthy praise," all demand the public act of worship.
The obligation and privilege of such worship cannot be too greatly exalted. It is not a matter of inclination merely; it is an imperative duty, the discharge of which may not be regulated by considerations of convenience, or indolence, or pleasure. To neglect it, is to dishonor God, to withhold what is His due. It is also to dishonor ourselves, to violate our own noblest instincts. No other act of which we as men are capable is so dignified or so worthy of ourselves. Not to worship is to debase ourselves.


Some of the world's most acclaimed townscapes are at the juncture of verdant mountains with rocky seashores. At the eastern end of the Italian Riviera is Portofino, an enchanting ring of pastel-hued houses around a tiny piazzetta and harbour. Each house is slightly different, but they ring the rocks and march up the hill as one, a beautiful synthesis of natural beauty with architecture adapted to place. At Horseshoe Bay, we are dedicated to a similar synthesis.
Imagine, driving slowly down the boardwalk into your parking, taking an elevator up, walking along a covered open corridor to your home. Once inside, on one side you overlook the water and neighbours, on the other you have raw nature. How many places on the planet can you do that?
We don't see buildings as isolated objects in space, but instead use them to define public places.
For us, the pedestrian view is essential, so we designed it not as looking down from the sky, but as experienced on the ground and in the apartments.
Horseshoe Bay is a micro-community, a comprehensive entity having commerce, entertainment and living.

Logarithmic corrections to scaling in the XY2—model
Ralph Kenna, A. C. Irving
We study the distribution of partition function zeroes for the XY—model in two dimensions. In particular we find the scaling behaviour of the end of the distribution of zeroes in the complex external magnetic field plane in the thermodynamic limit (the Yang—Lee edge) and the form for the density of these zeroes. Assuming that finite—size scaling holds, we show that there have to exist logarithmic corrections to the leading scaling behaviour of thermodynamic quantities in this model. These logarithmic corrections are also manifest in the finite—size scaling formulae and we identify them numerically. The method presented here can be used to check the compatibility of scaling behaviour of odd and even thermodynamic functions in other models too.

Looking for an Italian car to help you experience Los Angeles? A Maserati rental from Falcon Car Rental should do the trick. Known as one of the most sought after line of vehicles in the world, Maserati can trace its origins back to 1914. Known for creating powerful sports cars that win racing competitions all over the world, and for its variety of models that bring to mind speed and sophistication, you can't go wrong by reserving a Maserati rental in Los Angeles.
Before you begin asking yourself, "Where can I rent a Maserati?" you should know a bit about the brand's history. The company's origins can be traced back to early 20th century Bologna, Italy. The Maserati brothers, Alfieri, Bindo, Carlo, Ettore, and Ernesto, all shared a passion for cars early on. As the first World War took hold of Europe, the brothers worked to create revolutionary car designs. Their first original vehicle design, the Tipo 26, was debuted during the winter of 1926 and received a warm reception. The brand began to pick up speed during the 1920s and '30s, with the Maserati brothers producing unparalleled racecars and road cars as well. As the 1930s marched on, the brand was bought from the brothers by Adolfo Orsi and moved to Modena, Italy. The brand's designs began to consistently win races, including the Indianapolis 500. Maserati vehicles are now known the world over as iconic, speed-catching masterpieces. As the 20th century rolled on, the brand put forth numerous models that are still regarded as the best vehicles in the world to this day.

How to Innovate Business Models
Should You Create a Business Model Innovation Factory?
What's the best way to innovate within a company or an industry? According to Saul Kaplan, author of The Business Model Innovation Factory, you should set up an innovation group that is specifically chartered to come up with new business models and to test these in the real world. Kaplan recommends that your Business Innovation Factory be loosely-coupled to the business it's designed to replace/supplant, but cannot report into it. Lure a business model designer with a lot of experience in design thinking, and systems-level thinking. Recruit innovators from within and outside your industry, rub elbows with "unusual suspects." Most of all, recruit innovative customers to help co-design new business models.
NETTING IT OUT
Saul Kaplan's new book, The Business Model Innovation Factory, demystifies several intractable issues that confront people who try to innovate within an existing business. I've already sent copies out to several clients, with the note, "Read this! You'll understand what's going on!"
Why is innovation so hard to do within a company? Because it's almost impossible to challenge the existing business model. We all know the truisms about creating a "safe space" to incubate innovation teams, providing them with air cover, giving them license to challenge the status quo and time to experiment, and having them report directly to the CEO. But Kaplan takes this prescription to the next level. He describes how to create and staff a group designed specifically to create new business models that will threaten the status quo. Saul's Business Model Innovation Factory is more than a design lab. The "factory" includes customers who co-create the solution they need to do a specific job for them as well as the pilot region in which you experiment until you get the business model right.
Without taking both these steps, Kaplan claims, you'll never succeed in doing more than incremental improvements to existing products and services.
By devoting an entire book to business model innovation, Kaplan makes an important contribution to the discipline and practice of innovation.
WHY IS BUSINESS MODEL INNOVATION IMPORTANT?
What Is a Business Model, Anyway?
Most of us have an idea about what a business model is. Before reading Saul's book, I admit that my own understanding may have been imprecise. I thought a business model was how you make money and/or deliver value, e.g., what products or services you offer, how and what you charge for them, who pays for those products and services, how you reach and deliver value to the end-customers you serve. Saul Kaplan defines a business model this way:
"A business model is a story about how an organization creates, delivers, and captures value."
~ Saul Kaplan
He isn't talking only about for profit businesses. Kaplan devotes several chapters of his book to examples of government and not-for-profit business model innovation efforts.
Saul goes on to explain:
"The story of your current business model can be constructed by answering these three questions:"
How does your organization create value?
How does your organization deliver value?
How does your organization capture value?"
~ Saul Kaplan, The Business Model Innovation Factory, p. 19
Saul points out that, in most organizations, there's a lot of confusion around what the business model really is. If you ask 10 people, you'll get 10 different answers. Therefore, it shouldn't come as a surprise that many innovation efforts founder when they challenge any of these three aspects of the existing business model. "Oh, we can't do that, we're not a software company; we know how to make physical products." "We can't let customers self-serve and answer their own questions, then how would we charge for the experts we have in the field?" "We can't offer that for free, it would kill our cash cow."
What's In a Business Model?

Saul Kaplan's depiction of the Elements of a Business Model.
Business Models Are Short-Lived
But business models now churn as fast as digital goods are invented and consumed. In the industrial era, companies in a given industry typically shared similar business models—how they created, delivered, and captured value. But that era is long gone.
"In the twenty-first century business leaders are unlikely to manage a single business model for an entire career. Business leaders are unlikely to hand down their businesses to the next generation of leaders with the same business model they inherited from the generation before. Leaders are either going to learn how to change their business models while pedaling the bicycle of the current one or they are going to be netflixed."
~ Saul Kaplan, The Business Model Innovation Factory, p. 4
Saul goes on to describe what he means by being "netflixed,"
"netflix; netflixed
to cause disruption or turmoil to an existing business model
to destroy a previously successful business model
to displace the way value is currently created, delivered, and captured
to be disrupted, destroyed or displaced by a new business model"
He points out that, although Netflix netflixed Blockbuster, even Netflix has been netflixed (by streaming video) and has been fumbling with its business model as a result.
In the digital era, most businesses change their business models every couple of years. Many start-ups change their business models at such a dizzying pace, it's referred to as "pivoting" – akin to a basketball player who pivots to reverse direction on the court, often several times within a single play. In fact ...

Rumor has it that China's Xiaomi could be entertaining the idea of putting a 9:18 display on its next flagship smartphone, which is apparently codenamed "Chiron". This one would likely be the Mi 7, though Xiaomi has other high-end devices in the portfolio that could be in for such a treat in the near future. The Chiron's display is pegged to be a 6-inch affair with a resolution of 1080 by 2160 pixels and likely be supplied by Japan Display, a triumvirate between Sony, Toshiba, and Hitachi. There's a possibility that JDI's Full Active display, which was unveiled recently, might be the one that will make the cut.
Blame it on Samsung and LG for making such unorthodox displays mainstream as they essentially debuted on the mass market alongside the LG G6 and the Galaxy S8/S8+, but it seems that other manufacturers are eager to follow the trend. However, if we have to be precise, Xiaomi's Mi MIX back in 2016 featured a 17:9 display on its own, though it can't be argued that this phone was merely a functioning proof of concept and one of the first 'bezel-busting' devices out and about.
Of course, tall 9:18 displays go hand-in-hand with efficient 'bezel-less' designs, so it's safe to speculate that Xiaomi's next handset could be taking some pages off the Mi MIX, the Galaxy S8, and the LG G6.
The Chiron has been also pegged of boasting 8GB of RAM, which would match the top variation of the OnePlus 5.
Aside from the display and the RAM, a nothing else regarding the Xiaomi Chiron has leaked thus far, but rest assured we will let you know if we stumble upon something noteworthy.
At least the ball is rolling now and there's no turning back from the small bezels. I really hated the phones in the last 3-4 years.
The ball is rolling, but apparently this finger with the stupid strawberries is the only mock up of this amazing advancement on the entire internet!
Until enough apps and videos are adapted to such screen ratios, I won't be buying those phones.
Ah! So another member in the bandwagon of 18:9 aspect ratio, eh? Can't say I didn't see it coming... When two top-dogs have ditched the 'traditional' 16:9 in favor of 18:9 or more, you sure bet that Chinese OEMs are going to copy that sooner than later...!!! Heck, even iPhone 8 is rumored to possess an 18:9 display, but I HIGHLY doubt that... Reason is simple: Remember when Apple went with 16:9 from 12:9 (usually called 4:3) of it's iPhone 4S and how apps were behaving TERRIBLY with the newer aspect ratio...? Thing is, Android apps contain bitmaps of all type of aspect ratios, hence you can go as extreme as 20:9 or something and apps will STILL be optimized for it...! Same goes to games although videos are another story...! Whereas iOS contain bitmaps of 'traditional' 16:9 as all iPhones from 4S onward came with it and hence developers didn't bother to optimize their apps to other aspects ratios... Hence, I highly doubt that I'm going to see an 18:9 iPhone anytime soon...! Oh well, G'Day!
that's a simple fix for most developers, you know that right? it just takes time to get the updates through the app store. the android app market was no different. not all of the apps displayed appropriately on my S8+ when i first got it, but it was quickly fixed. if you've never used the new ratio, then you need to, it's so much more comfortable in the hand for large phones. it's night and day.
Exactly, people today are just spec junkies. Laptops have half of these specs and still exceed in productivity, gaming and resourcing. Most Android fans always bolsters specs.
I would like to see a "Flagship" device that was 16:9 (for optimal media viewing) at 5-5.5" on a 2K screen. 6GB+ system ram and options up to 128GB storage. Leading edge Qualcomm SOC and Two SIM slots, one which might also be a microSD. True USB-C 3.1 implementation for rapid charging and data transfer. All the varios LTE bands (4G/5G) to facilitate travelers and the various International markets. Bluetooth, etc as would be expected... Clean, unadulterated ANDROID 7.x or current OS with the option of adding the manufacturer's layer or not. Most importantly, a rear camera that exceeds most current specs with a truly superior sensor and the optics such as are discussed in your other article about Nokia and Zeiss and the sensors used in the Nokia Lumia 1020. These are a good start. Is this really too much to ask? A true Flagship device which pushes the envelope at all levels.
Can it run Adobe Creative Suite CS6? Nope! Dont want it, pointless.
Just wish Xiaomi pushes updates faster ... look at OnePlus ... they are doing great in terms of updates .. recently. Added to that, I hope they improve/replace that vibrating screen thing to produce sound from that screen .... it just isn't loud/good enough.


Coastal environments provide many opportunities for human activities and the potential for economic development. Coasts not only provide attractive environments for tourism but access to the sea for transport, trade and fishing. However, taking advantage of these opportunities can unintentionally cause change within coastal landscape systems.
Sediment budgets may be affected and rates of natural processes may be altered. These changes may then require management in order to mitigate their impacts.
Mappleton is located on the Holderness Coast of East Yorkshire. The Holderness Coast stretches over 50km from Flamborough in the north to Spurn Point in the south. The coastline consists of low glacial till (boulder clay). Generally, the natural beaches of Holderness are almost always narrow and unable to stop wave erosion. During the winter they have only a thin layer of sand covering the underlying clay, and in high summer the beaches build up enough for recreational purposes. The seabed consists of the glacial mud, sands and boulders, as do the cliffs.
At Holderness the environment is primarily one of fetch-limited wind wave development, the dominant wave direction is north-easterly, creating a north-south orientated net longshore current. Waves during normally occurring storm events can reach up to 4 m. Tidal range at the Holderness coast is very high and can reach up to 7 m.
The medium prediction for sea level rise along the Holderness coast is about 30 cm in the next fifty years (6 mm/year). This rate is significantly higher than 1-2 mm/years that have occurred in the previous 100 years. Sea level rise associated with climate change and the prevailing north-easterly wind conspire to make this coast susceptible to rapid rates of coastal erosion. The Holderness Coast has been long recognised as Europe's fastest eroding.
Beaches along the coast comprise mainly of shingle and sand eroded from the clay till. They are narrow as the result of the lack of major rivers bringing new sediment into the coastal budget. Longshore drift tends to transport material south which has resulted in the formation of Spurn Point, a spit formed at the mouth of the Humber Estuary.
The 2011 census indicated that the parish of Mappleton had a population of 342, and increase from 249 in 2001. It is located 3 miles south of Hornsea. Mappleton is situated on the B1242, the road connecting towns along the Holderness Coast. This road is of huge economic importance to the area as it provides access to a range of towns and villages for locals. It provides access from smaller villages such as Mappleton and Aldbrough to larger settlements with a wider range of services such as Hornsea and Withernsea. In addition to this the Holderness Coast is a popular destination for holidaymakers and during the summer months, the road is used heavily by tourists. It also widely used by local farmers for access to the rich agricultural land in the area.
In 1990, Mappleton was under threat from losing 30 houses and its main road. In 1991, sea defences were built in order to protect the village and B1242 main road from intense sea erosion. The Holderness Coast is the most rapidly eroding coastline in Europe. The soft boulder clay cliffs had been eroded at a rate of between 7 and 10 m per year on average. The £2 million project created two large rock groynes to trap materials that are carried in the waves during longshore drift. In addition to this, a revetment consisting of large granite boulders has been constructed. The boulders are placed like a wall in a 450m line of defence along the shoreline. It works by absorbing – not reflecting – wave energy using large air spaces between the boulders and a broad surface area. Revetments are very expensive but long-lasting. These large granite boulders were imported from Scandinavia and deposited by barge along the coast.
In order to protect the cliffs along the front of Mappleton from undercutting, their gradient was also reduced artificially. Vegetation was planted on the cliffs to further stabilise them from mass movement. This is known as cliff stabilisation.
Longshore drift no longer transports materials along this section of the coast. The construction of the rock groynes has created a larger, higher sandy beach for Mappleton. This means that even at high tide waves do not reach the base of the cliffs along the seafront at Mappleton and the erosion has slowed to a point where it is no longer a threat to the settlement. The rock armour revetment has been very effective in protecting the cliff to the southern end of the settlement. They have been successful in restricting waves from attacking the base of the cliffs here.
Cliff stabilisation has had a positive impact in managing the threat of mass movement. There is no evidence of slumping along the area of cliffs where the angle of the slope has been reduced and vegetation has been planted over the last 25 years since they were modified.
As the result of the coastal scheme at Mappleton no properties have been lost to the sea and the B1242 remains safe from the risk of erosion.
Although the coastal defences have had a positive impact in terms of reducing the rate of erosion and protecting the village and main road, the area directly south of the village now suffers from an even greater rate of erosion. As the movement of sediment has been disrupted due to the construction of the stone groynes material previously feeding the beaches to the south of the Mappleton is restricted. The process of longshore drift continues to transport materials away from the beach to the south of Mappleton but is not replenished as it is trapped by defences at Mappleton. As the result of this the beaches to the south have very little sediment and during low tide expose a combination of sand and clay boulders that have been eroded from the cliffs. This process is called terminal groyne syndrome and happens frequently when groynes are stopped.
Owing to the limited beach material waves reach the base of the cliffs even during neap tides. This has led to increased rates of erosion and an increase in slumping. Rates of erosion to the south of the defences at Mappleton have increased significantly since the construction of defences at Mappleton. Prior to the defences being constructed erosion rates were 1.7 (+/-) 0.6 m/yr (1952–1989). Following the construction of defences, they increased to 3.3 (+/-) 0.8 m/yr (1989–2005). Localised rates of erosion in some areas exceed 10m/year. This is evident in the image below.
An annotated photograph to show the coastal management techniques used the protect Mappleton and their impact (click to enlarge).
The video below shows Mappleton in 2016. Notice the impact of erosion to the south of the coastal defences. You can clearly see the area to the south has very gently sloping beaches and high levels of erosion where the coastal defences stop.
The land use to the south of Mappleton is predominantly agricultural. A number of farmers have lost a significant amount of land to increased rates of erosion. Several farms have been completely lost to the sea including Grange Farm and Cowden Farm.

Express: Toyah Willcox Talks Quadrophenia
Nearly 40 years since the making of the era defining British film Quadrophenia one of its stars says plans are being put in place for a follow-up.
Speaking after a special presentation of the 1979 film, which documents the Mods and Rockers descent on Brighton on a 1960s Bank Holiday weekend, Toyah Willcox, 57, tells us at London's Eventim Apollo: "We're talking about making a film now, getting everyone back together. I'd love it and I think Sting would be up for it. I've enjoyed watching it again after all those years".
As well as Toyah, who plays Monkey in the movie, and Sting, the likes of Ray Winstone, Leslie Ash and Phil Daniels, who most recently played Kevin Wicks in Eastenders, made up the star-studded cast, while The Who guitarist Pete Townsend was one of the writers. Perhaps they could replace Lambrettas with mobility scooters this time around?

Joining Daniels will be other major names from the cast including Toyah Willcox, Trevor Laird, Garry Cooper and Daniel Peacock, who together will share their memories in a Q&A to add an extra dimension.
In addition to a screening of the 1979 film, based on The Who's double-album rock-opera released six years earlier, and the Q&A session, there will be staged re-enactments throughout the night of scenes from the film to conjure up the feel of the mid-60s era in which it is set. The all-important sounds of the day will be performed live by leading Who tribute act Who's Who, and there will be an exclusive after party with appearances from all the Q&A special guests.

Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun. Tolerates some dry soils once established. Best sited in a location protected from strong winds. Prune in summer because cuts made in late winter or spring tend to bleed.
Cladrastis kentukea, commonly called American yellowwood, is a medium-sized, deciduous tree of the legume family that typically grows 30-50' tall with upright branching and a broad, rounded crown. It is noted for its pinnately compound foliage, panicles of fragrant white spring flowers, autumn seed pods and yellow fall color. The species is native to the southeastern U.S. In Missouri, it typically occurs in several southwestern counties near the White River and its tributaries. Pinnately compound leaves (usually with 7-11 leaflets) open as yellowish green, turn bright green in summer and then turn yellow in fall. Intensely fragrant, wisteria-like, pink flowers in large, drooping, terminal panicles (10-15" long) will cover a mature tree in late spring. Profuse bloom may occur only once every 2 or 3 years however. New trees may not bloom for the first 8-10 years. Bloom is similar in appearance to that of black locust (Robinia). Flowers give way to flat seed pods (2.5-4" long) that mature in September-October. Species was formerly called Cladrastus lutea.
Genus name comes from the Greek klados meaning branch and thraustos meaning fragile for the brittle twigs.
Specific epithet means of Kentucky.
The wood of this tree contains a yellow dye that distinctively colors the heartwood and gives rise to the common name of yellowwood.
No serious insect or disease problems. Verticillium wilt may occur. Trees will bleed if pruned at the wrong time. Bark is susceptible to sun scald. Bloom may be damaged by late spring frosts. Yearly bloom may not occur. Branching is fragile and vulnerable to damage from winter snow/ice or high winds.
Excellent small tree for residential lawns, particularly on smaller properties. Also may be planted near patios and terraces. May be effectively grouped on larger properties. Roots go deep, so other plants may be easily grown underneath.

For the UK's part four RAF Tornado GR 4's launched storm shadow missiles at a military facility some 15 miles west of Homs, where the regime is assessed to keep chemical weapons in breach of Syria's obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention. While the full assessment of the strike is ongoing, we are confident of its success.
Let me set out why we have taken this action. Last Saturday up to 75 people, including young children, were killed in a despicable and barbaric attack in Douma, with as many as 500 further casualties.
We have worked with our allies to establish what happened. And all the indications are that this was a chemical weapons attack. We have seen the harrowing images of men, women and children lying dead with foam in their mouths. These were innocent families who, at the time this chemical weapon was unleashed, were seeking shelter underground, in basements.
We are also clear about who was responsible for this atrocity. A significant body of information including intelligence indicates the Syrian Regime is responsible for this latest attack.
I cannot tell you everything. But let me give an example of some of the evidence that leads us to this conclusion. Open source accounts allege that a barrel bomb was used to deliver the chemicals. Multiple open source reports claim that a Regime helicopter was observed above the city of Douma on the evening of 7th April. The Opposition does not operate helicopters or use barrel bombs. And reliable intelligence indicates that Syrian military officials co-ordinated what appears to be the use of chlorine in Douma on 7thApril. No other group could have carried out this attack. Indeed, Daesh for example does not even have a presence in Douma.
And the fact of this attack should surprise no-one. We know that the Syrian regime has an utterly abhorrent record of using chemical weapons against its own people. On 21st August 2013 over 800 people were killed and thousands more injured in a chemical attack also in Ghouta. There were 14 further smaller scale chemical attacks prior to that summer. At Khan Shaykhun on 4th April last year, the Syrian Regime used sarin against its people killing around 100 with a further 500 casualties. And based on the Regime's persistent pattern of behaviour and the cumulative analysis of specific incidents we judge it highly likely both that the Syrian regime has continued to use chemical weapons since then, and will continue to do so. This must be stopped.
We have sought to do so using every possible diplomatic channel. But our efforts have been repeatedly thwarted both on the ground and in the United Nations. Following the sarin attack in Eastern Damascus back in August 2013, the Syrian Regime committed to dismantle its chemical weapon programme – and Russia promised to ensure that Syria did this, overseen by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. But these commitments have not been met.
A recent report from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons has said that Syria's declaration of its former Chemical Weapons programme is incomplete. This indicates that it continues to retain undeclared stocks of nerve agent or precursor chemicals – and is likely to be continuing with some chemical weapons production. The OPCW inspectors have investigated previous attacks and on four occasions decided that the Regime was indeed responsible. And on each occasion when we have seen every sign of chemical weapons being used, any attempt to hold the perpetrators to account has been blocked by Russia at the UN Security Council, with six such vetoes since the start of 2017.
Just this week, the Russians vetoed a draft Resolution that would have established an independent investigation into this latest attack – even making the grotesque and absurd claim that it was "staged" by Britain. So we have no choice but to conclude that diplomatic action on its own will not be any more effective in the future than it has been in the past.
This was not about interfering in a civil war. And it was not about regime change. As I discussed with President Trump and President Macron, it was a limited, targeted and effective strike with clear boundaries that expressly sought to avoid escalation and did everything possible to prevent civilian casualties.
So last night's strikes by the US, UK and France were significantly larger than the US action a year ago and specifically designed to have a greater impact on the regime's capability and willingness to use chemical weapons. And this collective action sends a clear message that the international community will not stand by and tolerate the use of chemical weapons.
But these strikes are about deterring the barbaric use of chemical weapons in Syria and beyond. And so to achieve this there must also be a wider diplomatic effort – including the full range of political and economic levers – to strengthen the global norms prohibiting the use of chemical weapons which have stood for nearly a century.
There is no graver decision for a Prime Minister than to commit our forces to combat – and this is the first time that I have had to do so. As always, they have served our country with the greatest professionalism and bravery – and we owe them a huge debt of gratitude. We would have preferred an alternative path. But on this occasion there is none.

Man Survives Car Bomb Without A Scratch and Lives to Preach

The tables are quickly turning in areas like Iraq and Syria as US-backed coalition forces gain ground in defeating ISIS. Despite the turmoil and war, many Muslims are coming to Christ. One Baghdadi pastor has served in the midst of it all and says he is called to be a light for those converting from Islam. "We have new blood, born again new believers. That is a
challenge because it brings a new culture to the church," the pastor, who goes by the name of Joseph, said. "Recently, a man converted. He is married to three wives and has children with all of them," he added. "He asked me what to do. I told him to keep them, what else could I say? This is only one of the problems we are facing because of the new converts." READ MORE
