'Wow, it has actually gone in' - Ryan Tafazolli on scoring his first Wycombe goal in Cardiff win
Ryan Tafazolli on his goal and performance against Cardiff
Ryan Tafazolli scored his first goal for Wycombe in the win over Cardiff on December 29 (Prime Media)
Wycombe centre-back Ryan Tafazolli hopes he can put his injuries behind him, after he scored his first goal for the club in the 2-1 win over Cardiff City on December 29.
The 29-year-old summer signing from Hull City made only his third appearance for the club and his first since September, in the much-needed win over the Welsh side, which was Wycombe's first victory in 12 matches.
The defender rose the highest from a Joe Jacobson corner to smash in a header on 33 minutes.

Speaking after the match, he said: "To be frank, it has been nothing short of a nightmare start in terms of my injury.
"I got it early on against Swansea [back in September] but I played on with it.
"I literally couldn't get over it and probably rushed back too quickly with hindsight and it has been very frustrating.
"But it is good to finally get over that and get back out on the pitch."
On his goal, he added: "When I do score, I get a feeling of shock and surprise like, 'wow, it has actually gone in'.
"My thought process was more shock and relief, so I was delighted with that.
"His [Joe Jacobson's] left foot is most probably one of the best in the league, so you know you always have a chance and that is what he did tonight [December 29]."
The win ended a torrid winless run stretching back to the start of November, when Wycombe defeated Birmingham 2-1 at St Andrew's.
Since then, the Chairboys had drawn five and lost six, which has seen them go bottom of the table.

However, the win over Cardiff, which was their first victory over the Bluebirds since September 1999, means they are now only four points away from safety.
And with the Cardiff match being the first of three consecutive home games, Tafazolli hopes the win can kick start their season.
He continued: "It has been very frustrating as the boys in so many games have been the better team, and there have been key moments and fine lines that have gone against us.
"But fortunately tonight [December 29], it has gone our way and we deserved the three points.
"And I think at the start [of the season], it might have been a shock to the system because we didn't win for so many games and we didn't pick up any points, but since then, we have been the better team.
"We have turned a corner and we have been the better team in most games.

"We should have won many games that we didn't, and we should have picked up draws from losses, so the boys have done really well and we just need to look forward now."
Up next for Wycombe is a home match against Neil Warnock's Middlesbrough on January 2.


There are two articles this week for accountants who conduct business valuations. The first is from SageWorks, a company that provides financial analysis and valuation applications to accountancy firms. They've called it "How to Perform Efficient Business Valuations ".
There is no universal answer to how long a valuation should take, because valuation assignments can vary widely. However, Sageworks asked valuation professionals attending a recent webinar to estimate how long most business valuations take their firms.
Are business valuations at your firm as timely as they should be?
Could the practice serve more clients each year if it could accelerate the process of performing business valuations?
How long "should" a business valuation take?
They strongly recommend the use of technology (which is not surprising given that they provide this technology). But they make a good case, including pointing out how technology can assist with the complying with professional standards. Read more.
Everywhere these days, news headlines scream that automation stands to eliminate many of the traditional jobs in the U.S.
Indeed, a 2013 research study estimates that nearly half of total U.S. employment is at high risk of becoming automated over the next 10 to 20 years. The study ranked accountants and auditors in the top one-sixth of the most automatable occupations.
While some believe the fearmongering is overblown, many firms in the accounting profession are nonetheless seeking to move away from the kind of backward-looking compliance work (such as tax preparation and auditing) that is increasingly automated. These firms aim to offer value-added advisory services that are not so easily automated and are more forward-looking. The services, such as business valuations, business strategy consulting and advanced tax planning, can help accounting firms offer the next level of service for their clients and can create faster-growing revenue streams that make it easier to let go of compliance work.

PUBLIC HEALTH INFORMATION
Florida Requires Labs to Report Cycle Threshold Value With Every COVID-19 Test
By Meiling Lee
December 7, 2020 Updated: December 7, 2020
The Florida Department of Health (FDOH) is mandating that all laboratories involved in COVID-19 testing report the cycle threshold value of every test performed.
In a memo (pdf) dated Dec. 3, the department said, "All positive, negative and indeterminate COVID-19 laboratory results must be reported to FDOH via electronic laboratory reporting or by fax immediately. This includes all COVID-19 test types—polymerase chain reaction (PCR), or the RNA, antigen and antibody results.
Furthermore, the FDOH is requiring that "cycle threshold (CT) values and their reference ranges, as applicable, must be reported."
The cycle threshold value is determined by the number of cycles it takes for a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test machine to detect a fragment of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes the disease COVID-19.
It informs an infected person of how much virus is in their system: a lower cycle threshold value indicates a higher viral load, meaning the individual is more infectious, while a person with a higher threshold value has a less viral load and is less likely to be infectious.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, laboratories have only been required to report a positive or negative PCR test result without the cycle threshold value, unless requested. But most do not know that they can request information about the threshold value.
Knowing the cycle threshold value not only gauges how contagious a person is but can also help guide policy decisions and patient management.
The Florida Department of Health did not reply to emails from The Epoch Times for a comment about how the cycle threshold information will be used and if it will be publicly displayed.
Infectious disease experts have discussed the importance of understanding cycle threshold values when testing for the CCP virus. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said in a TWiV interview in July, "if you get a cycle threshold of 35 or more that the chances of it [the virus] being replication competent are miniscule," meaning that the detected virus is likely dead.
He continued, "I think if somebody does come in with 37, 38, even 36, you've got to say, you know it's just dead nucleotides, period."
Fauci also says that it's impossible to "culture virus from a 37 cycle threshold."
A study of 90 positive COVID-19 samples showed "no positive viral cultures with a CT greater than 24," with the odds of a positive culture decreasing by "32 percent for each unit increase in CT."
In the research community, many have reported not observing contagious patients for tests that are positive beyond cycle threshold cutoff values of 25 to 30.

Many people assume there is no need to secure legal representation when they are facing a traffic ticket citation. Nothing could be further from the truth. Depending on the circumstances, a traffic ticket citation can lead to high fines, license suspension, and even the permanent revocation of your driving privileges in Florida. There is too much at stake to leave the consequences of a traffic ticket citation up to a judge alone. The Tampa traffic violation lawyers at Pawlowski//Mastrilli Law Group can take on your case and do all we can to ensure your traffic ticket citation has a minimal impact on your finances and driving record.
A traffic ticket citation leads to points and fines ranging from roughly $70 to more than $300. A traffic violation typically results in 3 to 6 points being added to your record. After a certain number of points, your license can be suspended. You may be eligible for a basic driver education course that can lead to a reduction in the number of points on your record. Reducing the number of points may mean the difference between keeping your driver's license and losing it for a lengthy amount of time. A reduction in points can also protect you from having to pay higher car insurance premiums.
The amount of points accumulated in a specific period of time determines how long you will lose your license for. An accumulation of 12 points in a 12 month period will lead to a 30 day suspension of driving privileges. 18 points in an 18 month period can yield a 3 month license suspension. If you accumulate 24 points in 36 months, you could face losing your license for 1 year. Losing your license for even a short amount of time can affect your job, disrupt your family life, and damage your reputation.
With the help of Pawlowski//Mastrilli Law Group the charges may be reduced and your license may no longer be on the line. With us on the case, you may not even have to appear in court or deal with higher insurance costs. There are plenty of reasons traffic ticket citations get reduced and dismissed every day, including tickets being written up wrong and speed detection equipment failure. Our Tampa traffic violation lawyers will work tirelessly to explore every avenue of your case. Before you pay a ticket and accept consequences you don't need to, such as giving up your license, call us and see if we can help you get a favorable resolution.

[VIEW POINT]Do a Qaddafi, Dear Leader
Copy what Qaddafi did, the United States says to Kim Jong-il. That is, give up your nuclear weapons program, as the Libyan leader Muammar el Qaddafi did, and his rewards will be yours: reconciliation with the world community and a generous aid package.
Well, if we know anything about Mr. Kim it is that he would rather hold his breath until he turns blue than appear to acquiesce to American prodding.
Still, why not? Many eyes boggled when the U.S. State Department called Colonel Qaddafi's renunciation "statesmanlike." (That's another thing. After 35 years as Libya's dictator, wouldn't you think he could get himself promoted to general?)
"Statesmanlike." Wouldn't Mr. Kim trade his nuclear program for a similar accolade? Hey, call him "humanitarian," even "dear"; wouldn't it be worth it to get the deal done? South Korea's formerpresident Kim Dae-jung told some Western diplomats last week that North Korea's leader is "ready to do a Qaddafi." He added, "The ball is in the Americans' court."
"Doing a Qaddafi" would entail giving up all nuclear programs and accepting intrusive international inspections to prove his compliance. Given Kim Jong-il's record of cheating, the American side is unlikely to be satisfied with cross-my-heart promises from Mr. Kim, even if he swears on the portrait of his father, North Korea's dead "president for eternity."
Still, doing a Qaddafi may be Mr. Kim's last chance to come in from the Cold War before his Communist kingdom falls to rubble, and he may know that.
Seoul should be pushing for the most sweeping deal possible. Instead, it is being unhelpful by appearing to suggest that North Korea's enriched-uranium program, the one the North denies having, but a Pakistani scientist has confessed to supplying, be left out of the deal for the time being, so that Mr. Kim will not "lose face." How can there be a comprehensive resolution if North Korea is allowed to keep nuclear programs it prefers not to disclose?
Seoul's diplomacy needs to be at its most creative just now, because it has a different stake in this game than the United States does. The nuclear issue is paramount for the rest of the world, but South Korea should be thinking of reunification.
Mesmerized by the fearful problems associated with reunification, Seoul appears to be making no plans for it. The South knows that it could not afford reunification, given the hordes of refugees that would be unleashed from the North. Kim Dae-jung's sunshine policy was devised to postpone unification, for up to 20 years if necessary, until the North's economic base is strengthened. The strategy, in other words, is to hope that Kim Jong-il's grip does not fail.
But what if it does fail? Human events sometimes evolve glacially, as the sunshine policy prefers. But more often a burst dam sweeps away all the careful plans, as happened in Germany 15 years ago when the Berlin Wall fell at an unchosen time. Yet Seoul apparently has done little or no consultation with the UN High Commission for Refugees on how it might prepare for the problem.
It is said that the Chinese character for "crisis" combines the ideas of danger and opportunity. Seoul is shying from danger when it should be seizing opportunity. Reunification is not merely a sentimental yearning in Korean hearts. It is a sine qua non for future prosperity, if Korean politicians are serious about becoming the Hub of Northeast Asia.
Foreigners snicker at the idea that Korea could be the hub of anything bigger than itself, given the intensity of nationalist feelings here. But the real obstacle to the Hub-of-Asia plan is Korea's division.
Just to the north of Seoul is a hole in Asia. It shows up pitch-black in nighttime satellite photography, because there is so little electricity. Seoul lacks road or rail access to Manchuria or Russia, because North Korea is in the way. When Russia, China, Japan and South Korea agreed to build a natural gas pipeline from Siberia, they decided to route it through the Yellow Sea, because they couldn't build it across North Korea.
Reunification would impose calamitous burdens on South Korea, but every year that reunification is postponed, economic opportunities are bleeding away. And now South Korea's economy faces a squeeze from the rise of low-wage China, which is sucking away foreign investment.
If South Korean capital and expertise could combine with low-cost North Korean labor, unified Korea would be in an unbeatable position. That won't happen, though, as long as the South puts up with continued national division and seeks at every turn to mollify the touchy feelings of North Korea's stand-patters.
Be bold. Tell Kim Jong-il that if he will do a Qaddafi, Seoul will offer reunification on basically his terms. That means we would call united Korea a "federation" instead of a "confederation," or perhaps the other way around. I can never remember which is the North's formula and which is the South's, mainly because I don't understand the practical difference. And Mr. Kim can have some such title as First Statesman of the Reborn Goryeo Union. He would be allowed to organize pageantry, with lovely cheerleaders and synchronized marching, but South Koreans would run the joint economy. Remind him that the alternative to doing a Qaddafi is collapse and ignominy.
If I were the unification minister, I would lie awake nights trying to devise a plan to unite the two countries, before the end of President Roh's term.

UPDATED: Cross River Releases Promotion Letters, To Recruit 2500 Teachers And Security Men (VIDEO)
In Breaking News, CrossRiverWatch TV, Education, Reports
- Updated September 8, 2018
By Uchino Amatey: Agency Reports
The Cross River Government has said that it will soon release promotion letters to teachers for the years spanning 2009 to 2016.
The Executive Chairman of the State's Universal Basic Education Board, Dr. Stephen Odey stated this Friday in Calabar during a chat with newsmen.
"This is a backlog of promotions from 2009 to 2016, which was inherited from previous administration. We took it upon ourselves to conduct promotion interview across the 18 local government areas and today on behalf of his Excellency, we are happy to announce that SUBEB will formally release teachers' promotions," Mr. Odey said.
He added that, "over ten thousand teachers are going to benefit from this exercise."
Odey also disclosed the approval of the governor, Senator Ben Ayade for the recruitment of 2000 teachers and 500 security men to address the dearth of teachers in the basic education sector and beef up security in Primary schools.
The 2000 teachers will complement the existing workforce, Odey explained.
"From what we experienced when we conducted our personnel audit and our subsequent visits to schools when we go for monitoring and inspections, we discovered that some schools from primary one to six have two or three teachers, which is unacceptable.
"For us to have qualitative and quality education, teachers are very key. Since we came on board from October 2015 till now, we have recorded over a thousand retirement and death cases, so we needed to replace these teachers. So when I approached him on this, he graciously approved the recruitment of 2000 teachers and 500 security men," Odey said.
He continued: "Recall that in 2016 when we got the approval to recruit 1000 teachers, we conducted aptitude test across the three senatorial districts of the State, but along the line we couldn't release the results because of the poor financial status.
"So, we will give opportunities to those candidates that took the aptitude test, the results of those who scored 50 and above will be published soon. If they are not up to the two thousand we want to recruit then we can also consider others."
Explaining further, the SUBEB boss averred that: "This is the first of its kind since the inception of SUBEB, that at a go we are going to recruit 2,500 persons. This is unprecedented, and we as a board want to thank his Excellency for listening to our cry so that we can improve the basic education sub sector. With this approval, 2,500 persons in Cross river state will be taken off street and will be gainfully employed. This is in line with this administration's policy of providing food on the table of its citizens."
He reiterated that SUBEB does not collect any fee for employment purposes or while discharging any of its functions, and further warned the general public to be weary of fraudulent elements who may try to defraud them in the name of SUBEB. He added that anyone who engages in this practice, if caught will be handed over to relevant security agencies.
The State Chairman of the Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT), Comrade Eyo-Nsa Itam who was in attendance, commended the state government for keeping to its promises.
According to him, "I am happy that one of the problems of teachers has been solved. I want to commend Governor Ayade for authorising the release of promotion letters which was one of the major aspects of our problems.
"Today he has shown his love once again for the teaching profession by this gesture. I also want to thank him for the regular payment of teachers salaries and for granting approval for the recruitment of 2000 teachers.
"For most of our schools the ratio of teachers to pupils is so low, but with this development the ratio will be normalized. Please extend our regards to him that we are fully in support of him," Itam said.

Protesters in Spokane plan to join demonstrations nationwide Thursday to demand public release of the full investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
Demonstrators plan to assemble outside the Thomas S. Foley U.S. Courthouse at 5 p.m., after visits to the local offices of Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers and Sens. Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray, said Tom Topping, one of the organizers of the local event.
The lawmakers demonstrators plan to lobby have agreed with those sentiments. McMorris Rodgers was part of a unanimous vote on the House of Representatives floor last month calling for the report by Special Counsel Robert Mueller to be released publicly, and Murray has been a vocal supporter of an unredacted release.
A House panel voted Wednesday along party lines to authorize subpoenas for the full report in the wake of perceived feet-dragging by U.S. Attorney General William Barr, who failed Wednesday to release the report by a Congressional deadline. Barr has said the report needs to be redacted to eliminate information sensitive to national security and to ongoing investigations, but Democratic lawmakers have said and Topping echoed Wednesday that the attorney general should not stand in the way of the report's full release, citing concerns about Barr's criticism of the special counsel investigation's reach in an internal memo released publicly in December.
"There's no reason he can't release it to the top people in Congress. They have to see the full report. They have to see it immediately," Topping said.


Sandeep Patil is an extraordinary man; he likes doing things out of the ordinary. His selection committee's decision not to pick a specialist spinner in the India 'A' team against the touring Englishmen is bizarre and baffling.
Sandeep Patil is an extraordinary man; he likes doing things out of the ordinary. His selection committee's decision not to pick a specialist spinner in the India 'A' team against the touring Englishmen is bizarre and baffling.
Though his national selection committee comprises four other selectors (his 1983 World Cup teammate Roger Binny, Vikram Rathour, who he coached in the India 'A' as well as the senior side, R S Hans, who he came up against in first-class cricket and Saba Karim) all major decisions will be attached to him considering he is the head.
The selectors' no-specialist spinner-against-England mantra is viewed in some quarters as a slap in the face of India's cricketing heritage. Indeed, this is still the land of spin. Presumably, the idea behind this is to prevent England from tuning up well for the series.
"Absoulutely stupid," was how Bishan Singh Bedi described the selectors' decision. Wonder what sort of message this sends out to promising spinners who ought to be trading punches with top overseas batsmen.
Patil will hope the tactic ends with a positive result for India, but sometimes the 'smartest' of moves don't eventuate in victory.
In 1972-73, Ian Chappell led a determined Australian team to the West Indies and was trying to work out what the West Indies were up to mid-way through the first Test in Jamaica.
According to Chappell, 'the penny dropped' in the second Test at Barbados where he realised that the West Indies were not trying to win and were waiting for the third Test in Trinidad where their spinners Lance Gibbs and Inshan Ali were expected to thrive.
Now, Chappell didn't have his main off-spinner Ashley Mallett on tour, but he didn't fall to pieces because he believed his batting had the ability to counter spin. Probably counter is the most inappropriate word for Doug Walters, who demolished Gibbs and Ali almost single-handedly to cause one of the most memorable wins in Australian cricket history. Chappell's 97 in the second innings with a twisted ankle was vital too.
That the West Indies were not beaten in a series at home for the next 22 years is another matter.
Ajit Wadekar's men achieved a series win a couple of seasons before Australia's great triumph. Off-spinner Lance Gibbs (who in 1975-76 became the first spinner to claim 300 plus Test wickets) didn't play the first Test at Kingston and his place was taken by Trinidad's Jack Noreiga. In the second Test at Trinidad, which India won, Noreiga claimed nine wickets in an innings.
The third Test was scheduled in Guyana, the hometown of Gibbs, who had to make an impression in the Indians vs Guyana game to put him in contention for the next Test in Guyana.
Kenia Jayantilal, the Mumbai-based former Hyderabad all-rounder remembers captain Ajit Wadekar telling the team than no one should get dismissed by Gibbs in the side game. The captain had his way to an extent because Gibbs finished the match with only one wicket (Ashok Mankad) in his 48 overs. Jayantilal got an unbeaten hundred in the second innings and could have helped India reach their 327-run target.
"We finished the game with 277 for three and Rohan Kanhai (captain of Guyana) gave me hell for not going for a win. I couldn't tell him that Ajit had instructed us not to succumb to Gibbs and hence I had to hold back my aggression," said Jayantilal.
Gibbs did play the third Test at Guyana and went wicketless in a drawn encounter.
Hope all ends well for Patil and India. Else, a sandy storm might just hit India.

The Mandalorian Season 2: Rosario Dawson to Play Ahsoka Tano
Rosario Dawson will play the live-action version of animated fan-favorite character Ahsoka Tano on The Mandalorian Season 2.
By Joseph Baxter | March 20, 2020 |

The Mandalorian's upcoming second season will see the Disney+ series give the ultimate form of validation to fans of the Disney-owned mothership franchise's animated alley of Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels: A live-action version of perennial favorite Ahsoka Tano!
Rosario Dawson has been cast to play Ahsoka on The Mandalorian Season 2, according to Slashfilm. The move, which will be the first formal migration of a major character from the animated sphere to the live-action arena (since Boba Fett, anyway), is certainly exciting and unprecedented in the modern era. Yet, it's not outside the realm of reason, given that The Mandalorian is under the creative stewardship of co-creator/writer/executive-producer Dave Filoni, the mastermind of serial animated offerings The Clone Wars and Rebels, on which Ahsoka originated and served as a crucial character.
Dawson's onscreen portrayal of Ahsoka will serve as an intriguing bridge for the character's arc, with The Mandalorian's post-Return of the Jedi setting prospectively providing viewers with the latest glimpse of the character, whose last mark in the canonical timeline was in the 2018 series finale of Star Wars Rebels, which flashed forward to the events immediately following the conclusion of the Original Trilogy and the defeat of the Empire in the Battle of Endor. While the move may seem odd, it also represents the greatest example of cross-media usage yet for the Star Wars franchise; a concept that has long been teased by Disney after its 2012 acquisition.
Ahsoka was introduced into the acknowledged Star Wars canon in the 2008 theatrically-released Star Wars: The Clone Wars movie, which essentially served as a pilot for the subsequently-launched half-hour series. With The Clone Wars' storyline focused on the titular conflagration, set between the events of prequel films in 2002's Attack of the Clones and 2005's Revenge of the Sith, Ahsoka (voiced by Ashley Eckstein,) was a central character on the series, which had an initial five-season run from 2008-2013, followed by an abbreviated sixth season on Netflix in 2014, and recently revived on Disney+ for a seventh and final season, which is currently ongoing.
Star Wars: 5 Things You Might Not Know About Ahsoka Tano
Star Wars: The Clone Wars Chronological Watch Order Explained
A youthfully buoyant wise-cracking protagonist, Ahsoka was depicted as an adolescent Jedi padawan learner assigned to shadow a reluctant and already-grumpy Jedi in Anakin Skywalker. While she was initially dismissed as annoying by segments of the audience for her constant quips (e.g. calling Anakin "SkyGuy," after which Anakin nicknamed her "Snips"), Ahsoka's arc turned out to be profound, making her a fan-favorite. Indeed, once viewers warmed up to her loquaciousness, Ahsoka proved to be a crucial (albeit temporary) source of balance for the future Darth Vader, and underwent her own experiences with disillusionment against the Jedi Order.
Ahsoka would resurface later in the timeline on Filoni's 2014-2018 follow-up series, Star Wars Rebels, which was set a few years before the events that saw Luke Skywalker leave the aridity of Tatooine in Star Wars: A New Hope, focused on the ragtag crew of rebel ship the Ghost. The show's second season would see the mysterious rebel intelligence asset known as "Fulcrum" revealed to be Ahsoka, now fully an adult, fighting the good fight with refined powers and wisdom. That run would see Ahsoka engage in an epic showdown with her former master, who's since become Darth Vader. The events of that series would ultimately see her cross the planes of time and space itself.
The role will—coronavirus-related setbacks notwithstanding—see Dawson coming off her current television run on USA Network's Briarpatch, which, based on metrics and an inauspicious schedule shift, appears destined to be a one-and-done affair. Interestingly, Ahsoka won't be her first role connected to the Disney corporate tentpole, since she famously played nurse-turned-vigilante Claire Temple on Netflix's now-nixed Marvel series, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and The Defenders—a run that spanned the whole gamut, save for The Punisher. However, Dawson's comic book-related resume also includes a recurring voice role as Wonder Woman in a number of DC's animated features, and will next be heard in May's Justice League Dark: Apokolips Wars.
We, of course, will continue to keep you updated on all things The Mandalorian as the news arrives.

A digester is a living creature, a fire breathing dragon, which we have to take care for. Each of them is unique as their composition of MO is unique. Because the MO are living they have some prerequisites to be met. One of them is temperature. From a temperature perspective there a three different temperature zones MO could be classified in: psychrophiles (also referred as cryophiles) which are able to live in cold environments, mesophiles which like to live between 20°C to 45°C and thermophiles, from 45°C to 122°C.
In DIY biogas we mostly deal with Cryophiles or Mesophiles. The industry goes for the Thermophiles as at higher temperatures reactions are faster and therefore methane is produced faster. But for DIY they are unsuitable because their handling is difficult. So the question is: where do I get Mesophiles from? As TH put it: "The easiest way is to find a duck pond or a place migrating birds have sat and shat and dig up the pound muck (we call it Duck Muck)." In combination with cow manure or other ruminant manure we get a good starter to go with. Biodiversity is everything!
Once we got our Methanogens ready we can inoculate them into our digester. From a technical perspective a digester is a container with an inlet, an outlet, and a gas outlet, where the container is able to hold a certain amount of water. A PET bottle could be a digester, a rain catchment barrel could be a digester, and so on. In our case we use Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC) to create a digester. IBCs come in different sizes, most common is 1 m³. They are also available in different colors, mostly black and white. Black is preferred because it makes sure light couldn't penetrate. Some of the Methanogens are light sensitive and also with light Algae could form. So, white IBCs need to be spray painted or covered. We aim for a temperature of 37°C if possible. Lower temperatures will do but gas production will be reduced. The lower the temperature the less Methane will be produced.
In order to keep temperature we have some tools at our hands. First of all we can raise the ambient temperature that surrounds our digester. We can put the digester inside, for example into a greenhouse. Once it is inside the next option is insulation. There are many different insulation materials available. We created a digester in Tamera, Portugal, that is surrounded by plastered straw bales, another one is insulated using Lime Stabilized Soil. Both digester have better production rate during winter than the others without.
In Finland insulation is just one part of the solution if we want to obtain a yield during winter time. Cold winters make active heating necessary. That could be for example achieved by using warm water when feeding. We build one digester in Upstate New York that has PEX coils inside pumping hot water through them. Basically a heat exchange inside the digester. We could use certain amounts of produced biogas to heat the digester. There are heating mats available that could be put below the digester. There are plenty of options available. Sometimes we are not able to get our digester to the optimum temperature but that only results in a lower gas production.
Here in Finland we, the DIY biogas community, have no data yet about how different insulation and combination of different techniques benefit the biogas production. There was some research done by TH in Alaska that showed usage of Cryophilic digesters. You can search for a PDF with your preferred search engine at the internet.
Basically temperature keeping burns down to context. How can I keep my digester at temperature in Finland? And from there the solutions arise. They are probably like a digester itself: unique.
But its not all about temperature. The second important factor is the pH. The pH is the negative decadic logarithm of the hydronium ion. Sounds pretty complicated , but actually it isn't. The pH ranges from 0 to 14 where 7 is neutral. Drinking water is pH 7 - neutral. Below 7 it is acidic, above 7 is alkaline. The Methanogens prefer an pH between 6.8 to 7.5. This is a pretty narrow range so we should keep an eye on it, especially if something isn't right – for example no gas gets produced. In that case we check pH with Litmus paper (or glass electrode) and take countermeasures.
If our digester for example went acidic we can use standard chemicals like sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), Lime (CaCO3) Lime-water (Ca(OH)2 , or Ammonia NH3 (which is toxic to the biogas process if added in in too great quantities) to get back into the preferred pH range.. Important to know is that the MO have buffering capacity, means they are able to absorb shocks, and therefore the wanted reaction could take time. There are several good write-ups about "Alkalinity and pH in anaerobic digestion". I suggest to read at least one of them to get a far better understanding about digester chemistry than what could I describe at a brief overview.

Chlor-36 (36Cl) je kosmogenní radioizotop chloru s poločasem přeměny přibližně 300 000 let. U 98,1 % jader tohoto izotopu proběhne přeměna beta minus na 36Ar, u zbylých 1,9 % dojde k záchytu elektronu za vzniku 36S.

V přírodě se vyskytují stopová množství 36Cl, 1 atom 36Cl připadá na asi (1-1,4)×1012 atomů stabilních izotopů (35Cl a 37Cl)., tomu odpovídá radioaktivita asi 1 Bq/kg(Cl).

Tento izotop vzniká v atmosféře tříštěním jader 36Ar. V povrchových vrstvách litosféry vzniká hlavně aktivací 35Cl tepelnými neutrony a tříštěním z 39K a 40Ca. Pod povrchem má na jeho tvorbě větší podíl zachycování mionů. Za rok se takto na úrovni hladiny moře z jednoho molu 39K vytvoří přibližně 4200 a z jednoho molu 40Ca zhruba 3000 atomů 36Cl. Ve větších nadmořských výškách je tento proces v důsledku větší intenzity kosmického záření rychlejší.

Poločas tohoto izotopu jej činí vhodným pro radioaktivní datování vzorků o stáří asi 60 000 až 1 000 000 let.

Velká množství 36Cl vznikla ozářením mořské vody při atmosférických a podvodních testech jaderných zbraní v letech 1952 až 1958.

Well my site is up and wicked fast now.
Well done DH. Here's hoping this has solved the issues.
yea…mine too… Of course, I had this same response about this time on Monday night, only to have things degrade seriously the next morning during US business hours…here's to hoping that this time it is really fixed!
In fact, my sites are working slicker than I can recall for a long while. Fingers crossed that things stay good this time.
Mine too, yay! And that's even from Europe where it's usually been rather sluggish.
idd, everything seems to be running faster than I remember - been with DH since Jan. Hopefully this is a taste of continued service.
Well done guys for sorting things out, I know you've had a lot of sticks taken to you over these issues.
~ umm what about those guys that have all buggered off to other hosts? e.g alternativehosts & dreamhostanxiety (same person I think) well… In the words of a great philosopher.

What Happens if I Miss a Court Date in Morristown?
If you have been charged with a crime and you have been given a court date, you must appear for it. In fact, you may need to keep track of several dates related to your criminal charges. It is important to note these dates and make arrangements to attend your hearings. These hearings are a vital part of the criminal process, and you will only be able to fully assert your rights if you appear. Failing to appear in court in New Jersey may lead to serious consequences as well. It may even have a negative impact on the final result in your case.
If you know you have missed a court date or you recently learned there is an outstanding warrant for your arrest, you should take steps to retain an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. Our firm defends clients in criminal cases involving assault, drugs, shoplifting, weapons, and more throughout New Jersey. We can also help you resolve a warrant or pending case if you missed a court date in Morristown, Denville, Dover, Parsippany, Rockaway, or elsewhere in the Morris County area. Call our local office in Morristown at (908) 336-5008 for additional information and a free consultation about your case.
If you miss a scheduled court date in Municipal Court, the judge can, and usually will, issue a "failure to appear" notice. This notice will either simply reschedule the hearing (which will be provided to you in the mail) or the court will issue an arrest warrant. That means that you will have a warrant out for your arrest compelling you to appear before a judge for the crime alleged and a separate offense for failure to appear.
If you appear for the rescheduled hearing or if you are brought in based on a warrant, you will have to explain to the judge why you failed to attend the first hearing. Unless you have a valid reason for not appearing, you may face serious penalties for contempt of court. This is because failing to appear for a hearing in New Jersey is a direct violation of a court order, and it comes along with its own separate fines and other consequences.
If you have an emergency that forced you to miss the date, then you will generally need to provide proof of that emergency to the court.
For parking tickets, the judge will generally only issue a warrant when you miss two scheduled court hearings. The judge also has the option to revoke your driving privileges until you appear for your court date for any criminal or traffic offense. This type of consequence often means higher fees, and it can take longer to get your case resolved.
In New Jersey, Superior Court is reserved for much more serious offenses, known as indictable crimes or "felonies." This often means that missing a court date will result in harsher penalties. In criminal cases in Superior Court, Judges are much less likely to show leniency to those who miss these court dates. In fact, missing just one of these dates will lead to a warrant for your arrest being issued automatically.
Another potential consequence for missing a hearing in Morris County Superior Court is that you forfeit your ability to remain outside of jail. That means that you do not have the option to post any amount of money to get out of jail and you will remain in detention until your case is resolved. The judge can do this under New Jersey's new bail laws because part of the bail decision includes whether or not your are reliable to make your scheduled court appearances.
If you received a notice for failure to appear in court or there is a warrant for your arrest in Morris County, it is a good idea to get an attorney involved as soon as possible. Your lawyer can make arrangements with the court or law enforcement to turn yourself in after a warrant has been issued for missing a court date in Superior Court, or contact the court and arrange to have a new court date scheduled in Municipal Court. The skilled criminal defense lawyers at The Tormey Law Firm can help with this process and minimize any potential damage done. Learn more by contacting us today at (908) 336-5008.

Gangs of New York is the epic, self-destructive companion piece to Who Shot Liberty Valance. It posits that one need not have traveled out west to find romantic lawlessness, and that one could not find the answers to a more productive society back east. It is also proof that Martin Scorsese can make masterful work no matter the circumstances. Gangs of New York is his most artistically compromised picture, trimmed down even at its 167-minute length from a reported five-hour cut and commercialized in a futile attempt to make the film into some sort of hit. Yet it remains his most personal, above perhaps his erstwhile passion project, The Last Temptation of Christ, the ultimate paean to Marty's beloved hometown and an exorcism of his hangups.
The impositions placed upon the film by Miramax hindered this vision, yet perhaps they fueled the more bombastic visual choices that serve Scorsese's deconstruction of his career. Besides, the marketing of the film provides for a misdirection Scorsese attempts with the film itself, goading the audience into identifying Amsterdam, the underdog character who enjoys a romance and narrates the picture, played by an actor still known for being a teenage heartthrob (Leonardo DiCaprio), as the protagonist. He is not.
The real crux of the story, and the personification of the choices made by the film's director, is William Cutting (Daniel Day-Lewis). He symbolizes the dying New York, at once Liberty Valance and Tom Doniphon. He's a bigot and a ruthless killer, but he has a sense of honor. So do many villains, of course, but Gangs of New York is about the transition in New York's history, not from anomie into civilization but the loss of the "nobility" of violence. Bill is not the symbol standing in the way of progress; he is the last of a dying breed.
Day-Lewis' performance here has been eclipsed by his work in There Will Be Blood, and Daniel Plainview is indeed a testament to the actor's ability to captivate an audience even with a character diametrically opposed to identification or empathy. Yet William Cutting has an emotional complexity that runs deeper even than Day-Lewis' earlier Christy Brown. When he kills the father of DiCaprio's character, Priest Vallon (Liam Neeson), in a street battle at the start, Cutting refuses to allow any of his gang, the Natives, to spoil the body. "He'll cross over whole," Bill declares, despite his vicious hatred of the Irish Catholicism Vallon represents. For Bill, why he's fighting someone is less important than how those enemies conduct themselves. In a quietly piercing scene, Bill confides in the adult Amsterdam, whom Bill accepts without learning his true identity. Draped in an American flag, Bill condenses his power, the power of anyone who holds it, into fear and the ability to manipulate it. He tells the boy about Vallon, what a great man he was; in one skirmish, Amsterdam's father got the best of ol' Bill and nearly killed him, sparing his foe's life only to force him to live with the shame. Bill notes that he cut out one of his own eyes because he could not look at Vallon.
Like the film, Bill is visually outlandish, absurd even. He routinely sports a red coat as if in a Nicholas Ray period piece, complete with pants that manage to be even longer than Day-Lewis' lanky frame can allow. It's the sort of get-up that sticks out even in a period picture: here is a man who doesn't need to care what others think. It's funny, then, that Bill should reflect Scorsese's aesthetic, given the issues he suffered, even as a universally acknowledge master, at Miramax's hand.
Scorsese's direction is without question the loosest in his oeuvre, or at the very least since Mean Streets threw the director far ahead of the minor accomplishments of his first two features. The opening gang fight, set to anachronistic music and even edited as if a submission to MTV, sets the tone for the film's structure as it draws a line in the sand separating those willing to play along in Marty's meticulously recreated sandbox from those expecting a more conventional movie. Yet Scorsese's direction tests the patience even of the loyal: scenes jut about as if someone unleashed a wild chimp into Thelma Schoonmaker's editing suite and the director simply trusted that his longtime collaborator knew what she was doing when he got the results back. Sudden transitions, awkward breaks, unnecessary cutaways in the middle of an action for a reaction shot or something else to break the scene: all of these issues exist in the film, the result of both the trimming and whatever held Scorsese and Schoonmaker's fancy.
Yet this seeming clumsiness allows the director to break entirely from the tropes that bind the genre. Scorsese worked within them for his superb The Age of Innocence but gave the characters an emotional resonance so many of these pictures chase but never obtain. Gangs, however, belongs firmly with his gangster pictures. Indeed, he casts all of the characters, be they actual gang members, policemen, whores or politicians, as gangsters. The women seduce and take from the men, who take from others to cover their losses, before giving their cut to corrupt coppers and bosses like Bill, who use the money to pocket politicians. It's far too tangled a web to be called a "vicious cycle."
Scorsese films these characters with the same passion he afforded to his earlier films, the ones that mixed character with aesthetic to make everything more visceral, more felt. He lost himself in the jumble of The Departed, but here Marty manages to convey the states of mind of both lead characters. He charts both Amsterdam's rash bravery and the loathing he feels for himself and his self-doubt as well as Bill's sadness at the "rising of the tide" that will wash away everything Bill values. The two characters (and moods) play off each other, Bill's nobility and paternal treatment of Amsterdam compounds the boy's feelings of guilt for not avenging his father, and when Amsterdam finally does make his move, in a craven attempt to get the jump on the Butcher, Bill's feelings toward the changing world are confirmed: Amsterdam is not an evil man, and certainly not a villain in the same way that Bill isn't, but he represents the shift of gangsterism from something done out in the open with a set of rules to a world governed by backstabbing, literal and figurative.
Because Scorsese somehow taps into two mindsets at once through his disjointed style, everything is magnified. The sets, painstakingly crafted in Rome, are massive and establishing -- it's a telling contrast of convictions that George Lucas, upon visiting his old friend during production, remarked, "Sets like that can be done with computers now." Like the sets, the jargon is so accurate that even the characters seem to have no idea what the idioms mean and need many translated. The story is Shakespearean, and Monk McGinn (Brendan Gleeson), a big Irish mercenary who once fought for Vallon, even says so when he sees Amsterdam save Bill from assassination. Later, Amsterdam kills the crooked cop Jack (John C. Reilly, the best of the supporting cast) in a scene that recalls Hamlet stabbing Polonius through the arras. Too, the curtain that Jack yanks down in his death throes reveals a comically outsized cross, at once a reminder of the guilt that drives Amsterdam to avenge his father and Scorsese's pointed jab at himself for redirecting the Catholicism in his films squarely on the guilt that he's still exploring in this film.
The film's amplified visuals reach their apex with the climax, a thunderous vision of the Draft Riots that grows so huge that even an elephant roams the street at one point. Gangs of New York, which halted post-production for a time in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, is about not fighting wars that are not yours to fight. Amsterdam spins his wheels for most of the film because his subconscious recognizes that Bill's conflict with the Vallons ended with his father's death, yet he presses on because he feels the need for vengeance. Many of the Irish immigrants who arrive in America are the first to be conscripted in the new draft, and Scorsese overlaps a scene of a batch of soldiers being shipped off on one of the same boats that brings home a hold full of coffins with every docking with an Irish ballad that mourns the state of the immigrants, forced to flee starvation only to find themselves forced into someone else's war. Ironically, the one war worth fighting, the war to preserve the union, is met with indifference, then aggression from the New Yorkers who see themselves as their own entity. Thus, the greatest city in the Union is reduced to what might look no different than a bombed Confederate city, to be rebuilt as a part of the Union through the same backhanded procedures that returned the South to the fold. Scorsese isn't asking us to keep quiet and accept violence against us, but he also asks that we stop and think before fighting, and as such Gangs of New York becomes not only a companion to John Ford but Bruce Springsteen, specifically his own post-9/11 triumph, The Rising.
In the slaughter and smoky haze of the riots, Amsterdam and Bill settle their score. This is the last chance Bill will have to die "a true American," and he takes it, killed honorably by Amsterdam rather than face the world he sees on the horizon, even through the massive cloud kicked up by the shelling. Note that, at the end of the film, Bill, not Amsterdam, rests in the grave next to Vallon's, and as Scorsese suddenly jumps through history to the present (well, just before it, as he leaves the World Trade Center intact), we see time forgetting the men who helped shape the city, and the fact that the movie is about those who created and not destroyed is why the Towers remain. "The appearance of the law must be upheld," Boss Tweed (Jim Broadbent) told Bill early in the film, "especially when it's being broken." That dishonesty stuck in Bill's craw, and he later tells Tweed, "You can build your filthy world without me." Thus, he wouldn't feel so bad about being covered up by the vines, forgotten by the world he laid the foundation for -- as the tagline reminds us, "America was born in the streets -- and we shouldn't pity him either, not simply because of his violent acts but because obscurity is far nobler than cheap veneration.

Hey Jake, I figured it'd be better to respond to your comment over here. Have you seen The Ballad Of Jack And Rose? It's the movie Day-Lewis made between Gangs Of New York and There Will Be Blood (and also stars Paul Dano, perhaps not coincidentally). It was directed by his wife Rebecca Miller (the daughter of Arthur), and it's flawed in pretty serious ways (too much psychologizing and too many revelations, which I guess is to be expected, being who her father is). But it's also very interesting and frequently moving, and Day-Lewis' performance is key to understanding what he does. He's still larger-than-life in it, but in a smaller, quieter way, and it's the film in which it becomes clear just how much work he puts into his performances (and I will say this; Plainview was a severely underwritten character, and I think Day-Lewis' acting did far more to save that movie than anything Anderson did).
I think you're right to point out NYC resembles a confederate city at the end; and the civil war does factor into it because of the account of it that is being presented to its inhabitants. That is, you must fight for your country, we must preserve the union. But for a lot of its inhabitants they have no conception of country; they're New Yorkers, and they're going to fight for that. And something else is going on here too. Then and especially now, history has been presented so the Northerners were the democratic liberators and the Southerners were racist degenerates, which is complete bullshit. The idea that total war is any less morally horrifying than a system of slavery is insane, and reconstruction revealed how little the Union actually cared about the South (a professor I knew once described sharecropping as "slavery without health benefits," and while I don't completely agree, he has a point). The New Yorkers are being presented with this narrative that they care about black people and are saving them because they want to, when in reality they're just as prejudiced as the Confederates. So the Draft Riots become a horrifying, violent rejection of the role they've been assigned by the U.S. government.

I danced around that explanation myself, Doniphon, but when I read it back to myself before posting I'd phrased it with so many contradictions and halting commitments that I just deleted it.
Your comment about Scorsese pointing out the hate and bile in the North is right on. It's refreshing to see someone depict a historical era centered on a power normally regarded as good with such frankness and honesty. Isn't it interesting that the sets are so masterfully recreated, and part of the reason that they're so striking is that he builds a society that's already decaying? The buildings are crumbling and rotting, just like everyone in the old New York.
Thanks as ever for stopping by.

"Day-Lewis' performance here has been eclipsed by his remarkable (is he ever anything less?) turn in There Will Be Blood..."
You know what Jake? I prefer his theatrical performance in GANGS OF NEW YORK even more, but I guess it all comes down to taste. Granted there were two titanic portrayals, though I am not the deciple for THERE WILL BE BLOOD that many others are. But GANGS has rightfully been favorably reassessed the last several years, as around the time of its release it was castigated by some movie buffs as inferior Scorsese, when in actuality it is anything but.
Yes you are quite right in calling this story "Shakespearean," and I'd add it's operatic and viseral (I think you used that word too) and it chronicles destruction from inside and out. Interesting that you compare it with LIBERT VALANCE too.
Great writing here! I love the description of Bill:
"Like the film, Bill is visually outlandish, absurd even. He routinely sports a red coat as if in a Nicholas Ray period piece, complete with pants that manage to be even longer than Day-Lewis' lanky frame can allow. It's the sort of get-up that sticks out even in a period picture: here is a man who doesn't need to care what others think. It's funny, then, that Bill should reflect Scorsese's aesthetic, given the issues he suffered, even as a universally acknowledge master, at Miramax's hand."
Down the road this may well be seen as one of Marty's greatest films. It's not inconceivable at all.
Sam: I'm not sure which of DDL's performances I prefer. I just meant to point out that so many people just accepted Daniel Plainview as a "better" version of Bill simply because they're both ruthless and have kind of similar voices when they yell (?). I think they make for great foils: Bill being, despite "owning" the city, a down-to-earth mover and shaker, while Daniel pulls the strings from afar and drives people down through business.
Great post! In general sense, wasn't too keen on Gangs of New York, which is a pity, because I love practically everything Scorsese does. It was a bit "oirish" for my taste I think!

Home Croakey Conference News Service 2018 conferences #6rrhss New reports highlight rural health news (and also news control)
All the signs are pointing to a pre-election health budget
New reports highlight rural health news (and also news control)
Editor: Melissa SweetAuthor: Melissa Sweeton: May 24, 2018 In: #6rrhss, aged care, Federal Budget 2018-19, Indigenous health, nurses and nursing, rural and remote health
The National Rural Health Alliance has released an overview of the recent Federal Budget, stating that for the first time in a Federal Health Department Budget lock up, an outline of new and recurrent funding was not provided, and is not being made available.
Alliance CEO Mark Diamond said:
So from the outset it is difficult to say what is new funding, and importantly, what is being defunded to pay for the new programs.
It is a good indication that this a pre-election Budget. As such, it is likely that information from the Minister's office, and from the Department, will be tightly controlled until we go to the polls."
On that note, the report observes that the responsible Ministers, Greg Hunt, Bridget McKenzie and Ken Wyatt, attended the budget briefing for health representatives only briefly. They made short statements from a stage, and left without making themselves available to representatives.
Instead, Departmental staff provided briefings after the Minister's presentations.
The report says there has been only a "very small increase" in Indigenous health funding despite the need: $3.9 billion over four years in total, fractionally more than $3.6 billion announced last year, with half of the increase being CPI indexing.
Of about $150 million in new funding for Indigenous health, $105.7 million is new funding for culturally safe aged care in remote Indigenous communities.
The Australian Indigenous Doctors Association, the Congress of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nurses and Midwives, and the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Worker Association received an extra $1.6 million per year for the next four years (out of the Stronger Rural Health Strategy funding, not Indigenous health funding).
The Stronger Rural Health Strategy is described by Minister McKenzie as "the most comprehensive rural health package in decades"; she says it will provide 3,000 more specialist GPs and 3,000 more nurses to rural areas.
The report notes that the practice nurse incentive program is to be rolled into a broader Workforce Incentive Program – making funding available to general practices to employ doctors, nurses, allied health and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workers/Practitioners.
Mark Diamond said the new Workplace Incentive Program will provide some welcome incentives for rural GP practices to expand staff numbers, including practice nurses co-located in GP practices.
"Practice based nurses can be the glue to make a practice really deliver on a range of needs – not least chronic disease management, diabetes and mental health," he said.
The Alliance also welcomed the Health Demand and Supply Utilisation Patterns Planning (HeaDS UPP) Tool, which will use newly defined geographic catchments to reflect where people live and where they access health services, as well as mapping where health practitioners and services are

On the 1st June 2018 we were made aware that a handful of customers were unable to register new devices to their remote management accounts. After testing registration from a number of different devices we found that the issue was only present on Android 4.4 or lower.
The solution is to upgrade Kiosk Browser to v2.6.5 (build 210) as soon as possible. You can find the latest APK here. We are holding off from releasing via Google Play for a few days.
Devices running Android 4.4 or lower will no longer receive profile updates. You will not be able to register new devices running 4.4 or lower.
Our mobile backend which takes care of device registration and profile updates is hosted on Microsoft Azure (Mobile Services). Microsoft Azure decided that all web apps will now be forced to TLS 1.2 by default when connecting to an SNI-SSL binding if the hostname is not included in the CLIENT HELLO message. The Azure Mobile library for Android does not include the hostname and therefore defaults to TLS 1.2.
Android 4.4 and lower does not support TLS 1.2 natively and needs to connect using TLS 1.0 but these requests fail.
We have been working hard over the weekend to come up with a solution to the problem which involves moving our mobile backend onto our core server. However no solution was found to make existing devices function fully without a software update..
The solution is to upgrade Kiosk Browser to v2.6.5 (build 210) as soon as possible. You can find the latest APK here. We are holding off from releasing via Google Play for a few days. If you are running a custom build of Kiosk Browser you will need to contact us for the latest version.
This was a completely unforeseen problem, we've worked tirelessly over the last two days to ensure such an issue never occurs in the future.

Home / About Us / News / New "Duke" at Westminster
Westminster Stone , regarded by many as one of the best wet-cast flag manufacturers in the country, have announced that John Clifford is taking over from his Father, Paul, as managing director of the company, as from January 1st, 2005.
Westminster Stone's manufacturing and storage facility on the Welsh border just outside Wrexham was devastated in a massive fire 18 months ago, and the time since has been hard work as the family-run business has battled to fulfill orders, replace machinery, and simultaneously deal with the insurance claim that enabled them to keep trading.
"It's been a challenge," "but we have a superbly loyal and hard-working team at Westminster Stone, and like all the best families, we really pulled together when the chips were down. No-one has worked harder than John to ensure Westminster Stone are still here, and I feel now is the right time to pass on the baton. We've replenished our stocks ready for the 2005 season, we've some fantastically exciting developments planned for the coming year, and John is the right person to take us forward."
Paul's not planning to retire just yet: he's brimming over with ideas and will be concentrating on expanding the product range as well as developing new opportunities for their existing paving and hard-landscaping items. He's even learning to speak German so that he can better explore the continental market!
"My wife, Jo, and I started this business many years ago and have poured a lot of ourselves into it. It's nice to think we've succeeded so far by making some of the best patio flags and slabs, but we believe that it's the personal, friendly level of service that our customers really appreciate, and that won't change, no matter which Clifford is running the business."
The all-new 2005 Westminster Stone catalogue will be published in the next few weeks, and promises to offer keen designers, homeowners and the more discerning contractor some exciting new options. Check back soon with Pavingexpert for our exclusive review.


How Large is the Ocean?
Sure, we all know the ocean is a big place, but trying to visualize just how massive this incredible body of water is can be a little difficult. Think about where you live. Your home. Your city. Your state. Your country. Your continent. Then consider that there are six other continents. That's a lot of land, right?
Well, then try wrapping your head around the fact that all that land? It only covers 29% of the surface of the earth. The other 71% is occupied by water– 360 million square kilometers of water, to be more specific. But don't forget to consider the volume. Currently, the ocean (comprised of 5 basins– Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic, and Southern) holds more than 1.3 billion cubic kilometers of water. Crazy, right?
Let this informative TED-Ed video by Scott Gass help you imagine it. Learn something new today while reaffirming the shared influence the ocean has on humans, and vice versa. Take a look!

The Olympic gold medal hero pulled out of the show earlier in February due to the ill health of his father, who had been moved to Dove House Hospice after a period of intensive care.
Campbell is targeting a summer showdown with fellow Hull Lightweight Tommy Coyle and despite initially pulling out of the show, the 27 year old stayed in the gym and as a result, he's back on the bill and wants to fight for his father.
"After talking with my dad and my family I've decided to box on March 7," said Campbell. "It's been a difficult time for me but everyone wants me to crack on and succeed and I want to keep my momentum going as I approach an important phase of my career. I'm excited to box again in Hull on March 7."
Coyle tops the March 7 bill in clash against former British Lightweight champion Martin Gethin, rising Birmingham star Sam Eggington challenges Shayne Singleton for the WBC International Silver Welterweight title, World-rated Super Middleweight Rocky Fielding returns to action following his hand injury, Newcastle's Light Welterweight star Bradley Saunders warms-up for his Commonwealth title challenge, Birmingham's young Featherweight blaster Gamal Yafai is in action alongside a quintet of local talents Tom Knight, Nathon Smith, Charlie Payton, Connor Seymour and Ryan Fuller.

"One Movement Workouts - How Martial Arts Champ Produced a Crop of Muscles"
Discover how Matt Furey's one movement workouts produced a crop of muscles on his body within six weeks and made him stronger than hell.
Training with One Movement
There were no commercial gyms in 13-year-old Matt Furey's hometown of Carroll, Iowa. Just as there were no health spas or health clubs — hell, there wasn't even a weights room at his high school gym! Yet these drawbacks didn't halt the inexperienced teenager from hitting the iron.
Training in his parents' basement, Furey's home gym was a plastic barbell set from Sears with baseball legend Ted Williams' name inscribed on each plate. He also had some steel plates.
The three weekly sessions he performed were brief and didn't take longer than 20 minutes. And progression was super-simple, too: each workout, the youngster tried to add weight to his barbell and beat his previous best.
But here's the thing… Furey only trained with ONE MOVEMENT, and he didn't even know that exercise very well. The movement was his best imitation of the clean-and-jerk.
Writing in The Dinosaur Files some 21 years later, here is what Furey had to say:
"As a 13-year-old who didn't even know the exact form for how to do the clean-and-jerk, that one movement still produced a crop of muscles on my body within six weeks and made me stronger than hell… My one-movement training program was giving me the explosive strength I needed…"
These days, Matt Furey is a martial arts world champ. He is also a shoot-from-the-hip authority when it comes to dishing up quality info on strength training and grappling.
When Furey released his book on bodyweight conditioning exercises entitled "Combat Conditioning: Functional Exercises for Fitness & Combat Sports", it became a critically acclaimed classic.
Yet despite the titles and successes, Furey would be the first to tell you he laid his fitness foundation — and made his best muscular and strength gains — using one movement workouts.
One Movement Workouts
Of course, one movement workouts are nothing new. In fact, they have a tried-and-trusted pedigree going way back.
A generation before Matt Furey grappled his way to greatness, Texas well-digger William Boone employed this same powerhouse protocol to get insanely strong.
It's a tough task digging holes down through layers of soil, limestone, sandstone and shale to reach the gravel and sand that catch and store water deep underground. Yet that was strongman William Boone's back-breaking job in rural Louisiana in the 1940s. Toiling under a scorching Texas sun, he would routinely work 14 hour days, then return home to train.
Boone's strength system was therefore borne out of necessity. Since time was a luxury, every second counted when he came to weight train.
Following an ultra-abbreviated workout, he hit the pig iron twice a week with a stripped-back workout that consisted of just one exercise. Over time, this well-digger worked up to gargantuan weights in his chosen exercise. When he reached this point, he would switch to a fresh exercise and once more resume training on this single movement exclusively until he had neared world-record poundages.
We write about one movement workouts in our book Wolverine Strength Secrets and one thing continues to shine brightly: it doesn't matter if you're a desk jockey, a martial arts champ like Matt Furey, or dig holes in the sweltering Texas sun, minimalist training is just as effective today.

Box Office: 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' Suffers MCU's Worst Second-Weekend Drop Ever
'Spider-Man: Homecoming'
Sony and Marvel
Sony's Spider-Man: Homecoming isn't remotely a flop. Yet the $175 million-budgeted Marvel Cinematic Universe entry earned another $45.2 million in its second weekend of release and has now earned $208.27m in 10 days. But the film did drop 61% in its second weekend, identical to the second-weekend drops for Spider-Man 3 and The Amazing Spider-Man 2. And that $45m weekend figure, from a $117m opening weekend, is identical to the $45m third weekend of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man (in 2002) and the second weekend of Spider-Man 2 (coming off an $88m Fri-Sun/$180m Wed-Mon debut in 2004).
So, unless it catches up over the next month (and that's not remotely out of the question), we're looking at an identical multiplier to Amazing Spider-Man 2 ($202m/$91m) and Spider-Man 3 ($336m/$151m). That will lead to a domestic total almost identical to the $262m cume of The Amazing Spider-Man (from a $137m Tues-Sun debut) back in 2012. And adjusted for inflation, it will be noticeably fewer tickets sold than that 2012 reboot. And if the second-weekend figure holds up, the 61.3% drop will be the worst ever for a Marvel Cinematic Universe title.
Now, to be fair, the $117 million opening weekend was among the MCU's biggest outside of the May summer kick-off blow-outs, second to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 among MCU films that didn't open in early May. And we're still looking at a film that may end up the summer's third-biggest domestic grosser, give or take Despicable Me 3. And it cost a lot less than the $235m-$255m budgets of the last two Amazing Spider-Man movies, and it was well-liked enough that a sequel should at least hold down the fort comparatively. Heck, if it plays less like a Spidey movie and more like a more frontloaded MCU movie (think Captain America 1 or Iron Man 2), it may get closer to $285m than $265m.

But, for all the talk about how adding Spider-Man to the MCU and bringing along Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man would goose the franchise, that clearly didn't happen (for one thing, Tony's interactions with Peter were of more interest in Civil War). And frankly, I never thought it would, since at the end of the day folks who were uber-excited about the MCU were mostly the same folks who would flock to any Spider-Man movie on opening weekend. Moreover, the MCU effect arguably canceled out those who had given up on the franchise after Amazing Spider-Man 2 or had their fill of Spidey movies.
It was more about stopping the bleeding than goosing the IP. Now the good news is that it's doing well overseas ($260 million overseas for a $468m total with plenty of territories, including China, still to come) and, again, folks liked the Tom Holland/Michael Keaton/Zendaya movie so the IP is in better health than it was a month ago. Oh, and Baby Driver is making a run at $100m domestic, but I digress. In the end, Spider-Man: Homecoming was the Steve Jobs of superhero reboots. Like The Incredible Hulk, Marvel made a seemingly more commercial and acclaimed package but still got a relatively similar result.
For the moment, if The Emoji Movie is even remotely decent, might I suggest a double-sneak preview next weekend?

Marble Arch illuminated to celebrate Pride in London
29 June - 6 July 2019
Marble Arch national landmark
We are immensely honoured to – for the first time ever – illuminate Marble Arch – one of London's most recognisable landmarks – with the colours of the iconic rainbow flag in celebration and support of Pride in London 2019. This project is proudly created in collaboration with English Heritage – who care for the National monument – and Westminster City Council. Marble Arch now joins a roll call of famous London landmarks, including the Palace of Westminster, the MI6 building and the London Eye, which have all been previously transformed into the rainbow colours for previous Pride in London celebrations.
To raise the impact of this momentous support, each day in the week leading up to Pride in London, Marble Arch will be illuminated in the individual colours of the LGBT pride flag to symbolise the meaning of each shade on the flag. Follow our social channels to see the Arch in all of its rainbow glory – Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
The historic Marble Arch monument is transformed for one night only to create a highly visible emblem on the capital's skyline in celebration of an inclusive, diverse and open London.
Completed in 1833, John Nash's famous Grade I listed triumphal arch has hosted royal processions as well as political movements and marches, including its role as a principal place of congregation for the women's suffrage movement over one hundred years ago.
Read the full press release here.
Press covering the event available to view here:
Secret London
Pink News
Moments for Equality
"Marble Arch has had a long history as a symbol of rightful causes, and it's only fitting that the monument should now play its part in embracing this important event, the success of which shows how much has been achieved over the years for LGBT+ rights in the UK.
"Of course, unfortunately the LGBT+ community can still face levels of discrimination and intolerance, and this is why it is so important that organisations and institutions continue to support Pride in highly visible ways. We are therefore extremely proud to have had the opportunity to transform this much loved London landmark in such a dramatic way, working closely with our partners Westminster City Council and the custodians of Marble Arch, English Heritage, to make this possible."

Organigram Begins First Harvests From New Grow Rooms
Initial Yields Support Predictions of Increased Capacity in Production Facility Expansion
MONCTON, NB, April 23, 2018 /CNW/ - Organigram Holdings Inc. (TSX VENTURE:OGI) (OTCQB:OGRMF) (the "Company" or "Organigram"), a leading licensed producer of medical marijuana based in Moncton, New Brunswick, is pleased to announce the yield results from the inaugural harvest in the first of its 23 new, state-of-the-art Phase 2 indoor grow rooms.
Beginning on Friday, "4/20" and completed on Saturday, Organigram harvested over 1500 plants from the first room commissioned in the Company's Phase 2 expansion. The first of the 23 new rooms, which began housing plants on February 10th, has reached final stages of flowering for its first crops. Harvests from subsequent rooms will begin this week.
Initial yields support the Company's predictions that changes in process efficiencies will result in annual yields higher than initially estimated when Phase 2 was designed. At present, the Company reaffirms its target production capacity from Phases 1 and 2 of approximately 22,000 kg/year (up from initial estimations of 16,000 kg/year). Facility enhancements include a fully-automated irrigation system, automated potting, a fully automated waste destruction system and automated packaging lines, adding to a data-based production approach which ensures growing optimization for every room.
"The first harvest out of these new rooms is proof that we've come to know our plant strains and our tools to the point where we understand how to create the optimal environments they need in order to thrive," says Organigram CEO Greg Engel, adding Organigram targets yields of approximately 400 grams per square foot of canopy space.
Another 16 growing rooms are anticipated to be brought online with plants beginning to fill the rooms on or around June 1, 2018, following Health Canada approval of its Phase 3 expansion. Once approved, this subsequent addition will result in a target combined production capacity from Phases 1, 2 and 3 of 36,000 kg/year.

Twelve years of concentrated medical research went into developing Omnilux - an effective non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that stimulates the body's own natural processes to fight the effects of premature ageing. A form of light-only skin rejuvenation, Omnilux blends pure, visible red and infra-red light which is targetted by narrowband Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) against the skin to stimulate deeper tissue..
When used in combination with other procedures such as medical skin needling, skin peels, laser and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy and with injections such as Botox™ and dermal fillers, it can be helpful in maintaining their continued effectiveness. Greater benefit may also be achieved by the use of topical skincare products such as anti-oxidant and Advanced AHA preparations.
Omnilux Plus™ (white light) has longer wavelengths than both the Omnilux Revive and the Omnilux Blue. With its main purpose to heal the skin, making it perfect for after cosmetic surgery procedures, burns, damaged skin and new scars.
Using a combination of different lights delivered at different times we are able to stimulate the cells that help counteract the effects of ageing. Light enhances not only DNA synthesis, but also augments cellular tissue regeneration including collagen deposition.
Light at specific wavelengths is known to stimulate tissue and influence restructuring of collagen to firm skin tissue and minimize fine wrinkles. As we grow older, the cells that manufacture the skins supportive structures begin to slow down. Environmental damage from the sun speeds up this process and produces free radicals that damage the skin and the cells that synthesize collagen and elastin.
