Its strategic position at the south of continental China is making the state city a crossroads between China and the South East Asian countries.
The freight forwarder market is tremendous here in Hong Kong, however we advise you to treat with us. We're going to explain why in the following lines.
Industry development and market perspectives
Several tendencies are affecting the freight forwarding market on a global scale. We can mention the supply chain globalization, the mass personalisation, the shortening of the product cycles, the efforts to reduce stocks or to delete them and the speed of communication. To face these phenomenon, more enterprises are contracting subcontractors or independent experts to optimize their supply chain. Enterprises specialised in 3rd and 4th party logistic (3PL and 4PL) are more and more present because of their cutting-edge services to manage the supply chain.
3PL is referring to an externalized subcontractor, who manage the totality or a significant part of the logistic needs of an enterprise. They are doing transport, location activities and are also consolidating products. 4PL is referring to an externalised supplier who integrates completely the supply chain of its client. He is managing resources, capacities and technology of all parties, 3PL included, to deliver a global supply chain solution thanks to his expertise.
1/ Customs and rules
1.1 Non-tariff barriers
Even if the reassignment of Hong Kong to China happened more than 20 years ago, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China (HKSAR) kept its customs regulation. In fact, Hong Kong still has its Free-trade port status, and remain a separated custom territory from China. It allows Hong Kong to maintain its function in the international organism, and its numerous international commercial agreements.
Import licenses are necessary to import this following products:
Chemical products: as determined in the Control Laws of Chemical Products. The licenses must be claimed at the " Environmental Protection Department" For further information, visit the official page: Chemical Products HK
Pharmaceutical products: licenses must be claimed at the "Drug Registration and Import/Export Control Division of the Department of Health"
Living animals: If it's for trade purposes, it will be very difficult for you to import living animals to Hong Kong. You must ask a license to the "Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department".
Vegetables: principles remain the same, you need a license delivered by the Vegetable and Pesticides Division from the "Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department".
Textiles: Import licenses are not necessary since 2014. Further information on the " Trade and Industry Department " website.

Radio equipment: They must undergo the control of the "Office of the Telecommunication Authority" in order to provide you an Import License.
Licenses for importing vehicles, alcoholic beverages, tobacco and oil products are claimed at the "Customs and Excise Department »
1.2 Customs taxes and tariffs
With its Free-trade port status, Hong Kong doesn't claim customs duties for general goods that are entering its territory. Only a few types of goods are submitted to taxes:
For tobacco: The tax is calculated based on the total volume
Alcoholic beverage which contains more than 30% of alcohol: the tax is equivalent to 100% of the CIF value.
Wine: Since 2009, the tax is equivalent to 60% of the CIF value.
Beer: 30% of the CIF value.
Oil products: to calculate the tax, you must consider its financial value, but also its volume.
New vehicles: 35 to 100% of the total value.
For the customs classification, we remind you that Hong Kong is using the Harmonized System (HS). More than 200 countries are using it, to elaborate custom tariffs and calculate international trade statistics. Click here to learn more about it: HS code in HK
1.3 Different importation procedures
Since the moment a cargo arrives to the port, and before that the importer takes possession of it, products are directly inspected, and eventually sampled by customs. Once that customs give the green lights, importer receives a release letter. You must know that the importer should present an "import declaration" to the "Customs and Excise Department" less than 14 days after the importation.
Several documents are required to ease the custom clearance:
A manifesto
An import/export license or a withdrawal permit, if asked.
A photocopy of the detention notice (where appropriate)
Few documents like the Bill of Lading, the Air freight letter, the pro forma invoice and the packing list.
SINO Note: For importing samples, a special mark should be attended on the product to specify it's a sample and it cannot be sold. Then, they can move along freely on all the national territory.
2/ Port of Hong Kong
Hong Kong was a British colony for 155 years (since 1842) and was reassigned to China in 1997. Nonetheless, she remains very different from China. Nowadays, it's the richest city in the country, with 9% of its inhabitants that are millionaires. She also became essentially a tertiary economic centre. The local money is the Hong Kong Dollar (HKD). Hong Kong possess 7 million of inhabitants. It's the eighth largest global trading power and the third world financial centre after New York and London. Since 1995, its economy is considered as the most liberal in the world. The economic activity of the city enables its port to be ranked number five in the world, in terms of container traffic and cargo tonnage. To begin, it was an average commercial port, but textiles took an increasingly influential place since 1950. After 1970, intense economical activities in the region carried a development of the services sector, that supplant industrial activity nowadays. Hong Kong's economy is strongly influenced by global trades. The Import and Export value is higher than the GDP and 47% of its exchange are realised with the Popular Republic of China. The city has a pivotal role between Taiwan and Continental China, because of its autonomy and the good relations maintained with both parties. We can also observe a true financial concurrence with Singapore and Shanghai. Tax system is indeed eased in the region: for enterprises that have activities outside of Hong Kong, the corporation tax is zero. For businesses that have activities inside Hong Kong, the tax is 16,5%.
2.1 The port effectiveness
Hong Kong port is a true model of competitivity. It's one of the most important and efficient port worldwide. He possesses the largest container capacity in the world.
Its strategical position in deep waters, ease the vessel transit and explains the intense maritime activity of the region. Nowadays, there's only a few industries in Hong Kong and most of its activity depends on the tertiary sector. The port has a key role for Hong Kong, because 35% of the containers routed to the port comes from Continental China.
Nowadays, approximately 7000 containers are passing through the port everyday. It only takes less than 10 hours to unload and to load a vessel. The biggest vessels have a 10,000-container capacity. There are approximately a thousand of barges which are transporting containers from the ships that stay off, to the port.
The maritime transport sector is vital to support Hong Kong's status of the seventh largest global trade place. In 2016, Hong Kong treated 257 million of metric tons of maritime freight. About 65% of the goods transported by Ocean freight were handled by deep water vessels. Amongst them, 93,4 millions of metric tons (57%) were transhipments goods. Continental China was both the principal source and destination of the transhipment goods of Hong Kong.
In 2017, Hong Kong treated 20,8 millions of containers TEU, which is a slight 5% increase compared to 2016. Amongst it, 78% were treated by container terminals of Kwai Tsing. The rest were handled by Hong Kong's mooring buoys. The moorings are also handling most of the bulk cargo of Hong Kong. Bulk cargos are handling unconditioned and high-volume goods like oil, gas, cereals, minerals and woods.
2.2 Line Shipping
Ocean Freight from/to Hong Kong is both transported by vessels and bulk cargos. Regular transportation is done on an established schedule with pre-announced rates and destinations. Most of the key paths are covered by maritime conferences (Agreements concluded by the major shipping companies on tariffs and crossings). Hong Kong is an important turntable with approximately 340 vessel services per weeks, that serves 470 destinations worldwide.
Big cargo lines invested in advanced systems to provide precise tracking information on the cargo and to enhance efficiency. They often ally or merge with other transport suppliers in order to develop door-to-door multimodal services. Numerous carriers are also allying to grow efficiency and to reduce costs in a very competitive environment. Vessels sharing allowed ships to offer a better world coverage and a higher frequency of the schedule departure.
2.3 Port facilities
Hong Kong's port amenities are financed, built, owned and ran by private enterprises.
2.4 Container terminals
Hong Kong owns 9 container terminals with 24 berths in Kwai Chung and Tsing Yi Island. They are all operated by private consortiums. Due to various quality improvement measures, their combined production capacity is 20 million TEU per year on average.
In December 2014, Hong Kong's government published the conclusions of the strategic development plan study for Hong Kong Port 2030 (HKP2030). They published also the feasibility study of the 10th container terminal (CT10) in Southwest Tsing Yi. Although the first conclusions of the report showed that the development of CT10 is technically feasible, the project is not financially viable because of the slow increasing of the Chinese production. In addition, with appropriate measures to increase the treatment capacity of the existing terminals to face future growth, CT10 is not needed before 2030.
To answer the development needs of the port and logistic industries, Hong Kong's government implemented several improvement measures. Among them, the adding of separating terminals and further barges will enhance the handling capacity of the terminals of Kwai Tsing. In order to deepen Kwai Tsing's dock and its fairway of 2,5 meters, colossal dredging works had been achieved in 2016. It allows ultra-large container ships to access container terminals during all tides.
2.5 Trade terminals on the river
The Pearl River connects Hong Kong to numerous manufacturing poles of the south of China. The Pearl River Delta (PRD) is constituting the main freight base of the territory. The trade on the river progressed incredibly fast during the last two decades, passing from 9,3 millions of tons in 1990 to 92,6 millions of tons in 2016. To face the rise of the river trade, a competent terminal, the River Trade Terminal (RTT), was built in 1996 and was operational in November 1998. RTT is located on the west of Tuen Mun.
2.6 The services suppliers
The shipowners are earning revenues from the vessel ownership, without being necessarily the proprietor of the vessels. On the line Ocean freight business, shipowners are renting vessels to shipping companies. Shipowners are providing a crew, supplies, and necessary equipment to run the ship. On the bulk ocean freight business, vessels are rent based on time or journey to a ship proprietor or a shipowner.
In both cases, bulk or line, shippers are linking shipowners to customers. They are booking space in the ships, to transport client's goods.
According to the Hong Kong Shipowners Association (HKSOA), in December 2016, the total tonnage of all the type of vessels she owns exceeded 178 million deadweight tons (dwt).
In May 2017, 2540 vessels figured on the Hong Kong Shipping Register (HKSR), totalling more than 110 million of raw tons. It put the HKSAR at the fourth largest shipping records place, after Panama, Liberia and Marshall Islands.
Shipping companies are owning or renting vessels, in order to deploy them on preestablished roadlines. Vessels managers rent vessels to the owners and use them to move goods from port-to-port. Operators goal is to reduce the number of useless shipments, which requires a meticulous selection of the vessels, the roadlines and the freight.
Shipping companies are using maritime agents to sell their services in specific ports. The maritime broker is matching the bulk vessel offer with the demand of bulk charging from the shippers.
According to the last statistics available, Hong Kong provided 115,3 billion HKD of maritime freight services in 2015 (14,3% of the total of the service exportations worldwide in 2015). This shows an unneglectable 12,3% decrease compared to 2014. Contrary to the Air freight, results coming from the passenger's transport represents a neglectable part of the total turnover coming from the maritime business.
More and more countries are privatising their port operation and/or developing new ports to exploit for trade purpose. Port operators of Hong Kong are developing and managing private ports on the Chinese continent and all the region. A Hong Kongese terminal operator, Modern Terminals Limited, invests and exploits several terminal containers in Shenzhen, and is spreading its activities to Yangtze River Delta (YRD) since 2004. Hutchison Port Holdings (HPH) Group, another Hong Kongese terminal operator, owns an operation network of 48 ports in 25 countries, treating more than 75 millions of TEU worldwide, every year.
3/ Recent developments and market perspectives
Hong Kong Maritime and Port Board (HKMPB) was created in 2016 to strengthen the collaboration between the government, the industry and all parties involved. HKMPB is leading the long-term development of the ports and the maritime services that are associated.
Continental China's ports have developed themselves incredibly fast these previous years. 37,1 million of TEU have been transferred to Shanghai. At the same time Shenzhen became the third busiest port in the world with a 24 million TEU flow, closely followed by Ningbo-Zhoushan (who took over Hong Kong since 2015).
According to the logistic performance index (LPI) created by the World Bank, Hong Kong obtained a score of 4,07 on 5. Hong Kong is ranked #9 on the World ranking and #2 on the Asian ranking below Singapore. Concerning international shipments, Hong Kong ranked at the second place on 160 countries ranking.
To increase air quality in coastal zones, Hong Kong government and Guangdong's Maritime Security Board are working together to implement a control zone of the emissions in the Pearl River Delta (PRD). Ships that are doing the DECA are required to use low-sulphur fuel, with a limitation of 0,5%. At the end of 2016, both parties signed a cooperation agreement and formed a working group to implement the DECA plan.
To strengthen Hong Kong's water security, the government published the Transport Legislation Amendment Bill 2013, obligating all the ships that have a raw gauge superior to 3000 to have a pilot when they are crossing Hong Kong's waters. Apart from this, the law project proposed to allow pilots to keep the same permit class until the age of 68, instead of 65. It will allow them to benefit of their experience to drive mega-vessels.
The cruise terminal Kai Tak entered in function in June 2013. This model of terminal is simply unique. The roof is designed to receive visit from tourists and locals. There is many shops and gardens for people to stroll. Also, it supplies boarding and unboarding services for cruise passengers. The capacity of the custom clearing, immigration and quarantine terminal can treat 3000 passengers per hour.
The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HKZMB), a massive scale cross-border infrastructure which links the three cities, will be open to traffic on July 2018. The freight traffic between Hong Kong and the occidental PRD will be enhanced.
3.1 The Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA)
International ship management
Containers station and filing
Free-ship common transport
Port goods loading and unloading
Inspection for vessels registered in Hong Kong
Purchase and sale, trade of components and rent of international maritime containers
Vessels maintenance and repair
Regular trade services like shipment enterprises, B/L issuance, for trailers that operates between Hong Kong and the continental ports.
For all Hong Kong based corporation supplying ocean freight services, more than 50% of the vessels she is owning, must be registered in Hong Kong. This is determined in terms of tons of goods supplied by each vessel.
June 28th, 2017, two more CESP agreements were signed by governments of Hong Kong and China. The Agreement of Investment (AI) and the Agreement of Economic and Technical Cooperation (EcoTech). The AI gives more clarity and stability concerning promotion and protection of the investments between the two places. It gives more certainty on the assets acquired by Hong Kong's enterprises, whether they are in HKSS or investors capacities.
3.2 A port at the cutting edge of technology
The control room is the key point of the port of Hong Kong. Today, space is a major issue in the freight activity and Hong Kong port isn't set apart.
Thanks to its software, Hong Kong port can know everything about each container: its origin, destination, weight, the moment when it should be loaded and unloaded, on which ship etc. This modern software allows managing containers in real time in order to reach a better productivity. This battle for productivity is making Hong Kong the third Asian port, and one of the most active port in the world.

Q: Issue with Specific Nested If Statement in MS Access I created a nested iif statement in 2010 Access and for the most part it works.  However there is once line that will not populate correctly:
SELECT
    IIf([qryMARate]![Commissionable],
      IIf([qryMARate]![Year]="2013",
         IIf([Forms]![frmMARate]![chkTrueUp],
            [qryMARate]![AGENTInitial],
            [qryMARate]![AGENTRenewal]),

            IIf([qryMARate]![ProRated],
               [qryMARate]![AGENTInitial]*([Forms]![frmMARate]![cboMonth]/12),

            [qryMARate]![AGENTRenewal]*([Forms]![frmMARate]![cboMonth]/12))),
      Null)
AS AGENTRate FROM qryMARate;

The goal of this statement is to pick out if there should be a commission amount and then to either display the commission normally or pro-rate it based upon the month the commission was earned.
Everything else in the statement does as it's supposed to but that one line.  It does not matter what is put in that line it will not populate.
Easiest answer ever, IIf statement was not recognizing the Y and N as possible T/F response, updated Prorated IIF statement to:
IIf([qryMARate]![ProRated] = "Yes",

A: See comment above

Version 4.2.1 of the EverQuest roster is on the downloads page.
Enhanced the EQPlayers import detection for profiles that have never been updated.
The Last Online field is missing from some characters EQPlayers page, therefor the import now also checks if all the other fields are 0.
Fixed a bug where Magelo import didn't work for characters without a last name.
The string check was expecting a last name to be present, which was not always the case.
Fixed a bug in the Tradeskill record update where values could be empty instead of 0.
The code was checking if the variable was set, not if it equaled an empty string. This could result in a database error.
Changing the class filter will now remember the sort column and order (again).
I had removed the the Sort Order and Sort Direction flags from the footer code to fix a database bug when switching overviews (the new overview would try to sort on a database field of the old overview, resulting in SQL errors). The new code is smart enough to see whether to pass the two fields along or not.

Hi, I'm looking for a permanent bassist for my band One-Eyed Disco!
My current one has too many other commitments. If you can sing that would be a big plus. It's fast, punky indie.
Want someone who can play the tracks (obviously) but also up for a good time.
There's 3 of the songs.
Have a gig at Amersham Arms next Thursday in New cross if you want to come and see what it's like.
I listened to your stuff on Soundcloud.com and I really liked it. Is there any chance you need another guitarist or singer?
Hi, I live in Lee, easy to get to New Cross and I play both Bass and Guitar and can sing a little. I have my own bass and guitar and would be keen to get involved if you are still looking for someone.

NYPD Cop Peter Liang Found Guilty In Fatal Shooting Of Akai Gurley
A jury convicted NYPD Officer Peter Liang, who gunned down unarmed Akai Gurley in 2014, late Thursday. He faces up to 15 years in prison.
D.L. Chandler
Rookie NYPD officer Peter Liang, who gunned down unarmed Akai Gurley in the darkened stairwell of a Brooklyn public housing project, was found guilty of manslaughter late Thursday, reports the New York Daily News.
Liang faces up to 15 years in prison when he is sentenced later this year. News of the verdict spread rapidly across social media mostly because it represents a shift in court decisions in police brutality cases that usually land on the side of police, prompting complaints that justice was not delivered to the families of the slain.
The Daily News reports:
The rookie NYPD cop who gunned down innocent and unarmed Akai Gurley in a Brooklyn housing project was convicted Thursday of the top count of manslaughter.
He faces up to 15 years behind bars when he's sentenced later this year.
The shocking verdict was a powerful message from the jury that the public's opinion on police killings has radically changed in the wake of Eric Garner, Walter Scott, Michael Brown and other tragedies around the country.
Liang is due to be sentenced on April 14.
Gurley was walking in an unlit stairwell with his friend, Melissa Butler, on November 20, 2014 when Liang and his partner were patrolling the Pink Houses projects. Liang, a rookie at the time, testified in court that he was "startled" by noise in the stairwell and his service weapon went off. A bullet bounced off a wall and struck Gurley in the chest.
Liang and partner Shaun Landau failed to administer care to a dying Gurley, with Liang rendered impaired by shock, according to Landau's testimony. Landau also testified that he and Liang did not receive adequate CPR training from the department despite their role as public servants.
The last NYPD officer convicted in the death of a civilian was undercover officer Bryan Conroy. He was convicted of criminally negligent homicide in 2005 for the 2003 shooting death Ousmane Zongo inside a New York warehouse. Conroy did not serve prison time, but lost his job with the NYPD and served five years of probation, according to the New York Times coverage of the case.

Say no to the shark fin trade!
Update 12/2022: Shark Fin Sales Elimination Act was signed into law. Thank you for your support
Shark populations are in crisis due to the global trade in shark fins. Every year, fins from as many as 73 million sharks are traded throughout the world to satisfy the hunger for shark fin soup.
To provide these fins, fishermen often engage in shark finning -- a horrific practice in which they cut off sharks' fins, then toss the mutilated animals back into the ocean where they drown, bleed to death, or are eaten alive by other fish. The shark fin trade has also played a major role in the steep decline of shark species worldwide, some populations of which have dropped by as much as 90% in recent decades.
The Shark Fin Sales Elimination Act will help reduce this trade by prohibiting the commercial trade of shark fins and products containing shark fins -- saving these animals from a devastating fate.
Although shark finning is prohibited in U.S. waters, the country still has a market for shark fins. Consumers in most states can buy them, and we are one of the world's top importers of shark fins as well as a transit point for international shark fin shipments. That means the United States contributes to shark finning and dwindling shark populations elsewhere in the world.
Please make a brief, polite phone call to your U.S. Representative and your two U.S. Senators. Look up your their phone numbers. You can simply say, "Please support the Shark Fin Sales Elimination Act, H.R. 2811/S. 1106, to stop the trade of shark fins in the United States."
After making your call, please use the form below to send a follow-up message. Be sure to edit your message so it stands out.
This action alert is for U.S. residents. International advocates, please visit Humane Society International.
Advo Test
Dear Legislator, As your constituent, I urge you to cosponsor and push for the passage of the Shark Fin Sales Elimination Act, H.R. 2811/S. 1106, which will prohibit the commercial trade of shark fins and products containing shark fins. In the last Congress, this bill passed the House by an overwhelming margin of 310 to 107. The United States is one of the biggest players in the international trade of shark fins. Although our country prohibits shark finning -- a horrific practice in which fishermen cut off sharks' fins, then toss the mutilated animals back into the ocean where they drown, bleed to death, or are eaten alive by other fish -- many other countries do not. By participating in this global trade, the United States drives shark finning elsewhere, as well as the decline of shark populations globally. Sharks have occupied our oceans for 400 million years, but scientists warn that existing populations cannot sustain the current level of exploitation. Fins from as many as 73 million sharks are traded on the global market annually, and sharks are being killed 30 percent faster than they can reproduce. By passing this bill and removing our country from the destructive shark fin trade, the United States will expand our leadership in global shark conservation and strengthen the current ban on shark finning in U.S. waters. It is crucial to protect vulnerable shark populations. Please support the Shark Fin Sales Elimination Act to protect our ocean's great creatures.

Artefacts from prehistoric times, traces of Roman occupation and a few Saxon remains all provide evidence of settlement in this parish. The Domesday record gives more precise information about land ownership and farming. Grantchester Church has some Norman stonework but is mainly of 14th and 15th-century construction. Corpus Christi College, as part of its endowment, became patron of the Parish Church of St Andrew & St Mary in 1352. A century later, King's College acquired the Lordship of the Manor. Both colleges have maintained their influence over village developments.
Medieval Grantchester (probably called Grantasete at a time when Cambridge itself was known by the village's present name) was laid out in three great fields, and three lesser ones. These were divided into long strips, most coming into the ownership of the nearby colleges of the university. The crops were the traditional ones of 'oats, beans and barley', and fertility was maintained by rotation and by grazing. It was hard to make much profit from the produce of these separate acres. On the Trumpington side of the river was the watermill mentioned in Chaucer. Later, Grantchester had its own corn mill, spanning the millstream at the lowest point of the village, and owned by Merton College, Oxford.
Many changes took place in the 19th century. The Enclosure Act brought a redistribution of land, so that farmers could gather their holdings into whole, rather than separate, areas. The landscape became the fields we now recognize – a great benefit for efficient farming though a loss to those with smallholdings. A new road was built across to the A603 (our Coton Road).In 1830 a National School was built to educate the children of the 'labouring poor' (now our Reading Room, the small thatched building attached to the Village Hall), and in 1867 larger premises were built across the road (now the Old School). With a growing population accommodation grew insufficient; especially when deposits of 'coprolites' were found in the fields and workers came in from elsewhere to mine them. A terrace of houses was built along the Broadway, and also a Baptist Chapel for those who had formerly been gathering in a small conventicle built of wood in the Coton Road. Inspired by the prevalent enthusiasm, the church too undertook a major building work: Grantchester Church acquired a south aisle and raised the roof of its nave.
The village's association with the university developed as Fellows of colleges were, towards the end of the century, permitted to marry. But the university's expansion also led to the growth of dense housing at the northern end the parish. This Newnham Croft area, known as New Grantchester, built its own St Mark's Church and in 1911 was incorporated in Newnham and the borough of Cambridge.
Twentieth century developments included the dispatch of older children from the village school to Sawston Village College; the destruction of Grantchester Mill by fire in 1928; the erection of the Village Hall that same year; the closing of the Baptist Chapel and its conversion to an artist's studio, and the end of Merton Farm in the 1960s; the end of Lacie's Farm, which under Bob Vigus had become renowned for championship cattle, in 1992; and the increasing prosperity and new premises of Grantchester School, followed by its closure in 1982.
The new millennium was celebrated in style and with great hopefulness by villagers. An increase in the number of children encouraged improvements to their recreation ground (though it aggravates regrets for the loss of the school). Constant – and successful – efforts are made to cultivate the strong sense of community and pride is taken in conserving the attractive village environment.

Do you know anything about a property called "The Grennan", Grantchester Meadows, Cambridge.
My great aunt Emily was living there in May 1920 and I would love to be able to find it.
Diane Barnes 28th May 2019 at 13:52
My grandparents and late mum lived in the village and we still visit often as we live in Cambridge. I would guess the Grennan , was actually the pub called the Green Man , which almost backs onto the Meadows. Although some of my ancestors (we've traced back to 1822 in the village) lived in a cottage , now demolished , between Green Man and Red Lion, so that's another possibility. Was your great aunt related to the Muggletons in in any way as they ere mum's family ?Hope that helps,
nigel simon 24th May 2020 at 23:42
the muggletons lived on the footpath… next to balls grove i have a photo somewhere of mrs muggleton at the gate of the cottage…
Ian Simon 30th November 2021 at 12:39
Frank Muggleton was Churchwarden at Grantchester Church … the family lived at No 1 the Footpath this was in the early to mid 1960's I believed Frank passed away early 1965 but i am not sure of this date or year

In 1973/74 I attended the Grantchester village school (now "The Old School") when I was 9 and 10. My dad was at the Cavendish Laboratory. We lived in Clare Hall in Cambridge, but I believe we weren't able to get into any of the Cambridge schools because we'd applied so late. We weren't alone in this – we were in a carpool out to Grantchester with a South African family and, I think, one other.
The school was organized in two sets of three years, as I recall. I was in the upper set. I think it was my year and the two above it, but can't be entirely certain. The "big kids" (my set) were educated in the room that faces the road, I think the "small kids" were in the "ell" to the back.
There was a big field behind the school where we played, among other things, rounders. To the back of the school, on the left, was an above-ground swimming pool, which I recall being very cold and unpleasant.
Overall, I recall it with enjoyment, despite anti-Americanism from a lot of the kids, which was ironic because my passport was UK. Didn't matter – my accent was US. I remember visiting Cambridge in, I think, the summer of 2001 and walking out to Grantchester to see the The Old School – very very small it seemed.
We had morning assembly in the Village Hall across the road. I believe there was singing, including hymns. I associate it with "Morning has Broken". I recall other activities in the hall, including some that were after-school. To some degree we had the run of the village – I recall activities involving the church and messing around at the mill pond.
The headmaster lived next door – the house to the right as you face The Old School. He used to read to the "big kids" in the afternoons, sometimes in the living room of his house. He favored science fiction and fantasy and was pretty good at it – kept the kids spellbound. That's how I first "read" The Hobbit. I think he also read to the assembled school sometimes in the Village Hall. I recall him reading Jonathan Livingston Seagull to us, but I think that happened in the hall.
Lunch was brought in on stainless steel trays and was about as grim as you can imagine British institutional food being in the 1970s. It was a rotating menu on, I think, a two-week cycle. Most of them were so revolting I went hungry until I got home where there was decent bread-and-scrape. This wasn't reported to my parents, who were very surprised when, years later, I told them their lunch money had gone to waste. We ate (or in my case, did not) in the same room in which we had instruction. I think there were round tables.
The larger Cambridge experience was pretty idyllic as a kid. I recall riding into the center of town on my bike regularly, through the Backs, helping my parents go shopping, etc. The UK in 1973/74 was a deeply messed up place, but Cambridge and Grantchester always felt safe to me.

I was a pupil at Grantchester between late 1973 and 1980, i can remember the 'New School' building opening and remember the villlage celebrations there for the Queens jubilee in 1977, there were many different races for the children, in paticular an obsticle race, where us paticipents had to climb over a frame there were two frames next to each other but we all queued up to use the same one, none of us thought to use the other and get iver it much quicker. There was a hog roast and disco that night and it was a magical day, starting with a parade of floats through the village. It seemed the whole village was out that day celebrating, hoping we can all celebrate something again as a village very soon

Hi Rob, very interesting hearing about your experiences. Another American, I attended the Village school a couple of years after you did and I experienced some of the same things, though at the time I didn't think it was particularly anti-American, I just thought that the new (American) Headmistress didn't like me! I felt like I was her personal whipping boy for pretty much the entire time I was there even though my family has deep roots within the village and I've always considered myself a local no matter how long I've been gone.
On another note, my Nan used to serve those school lunches up, and I remember them being quite edible, shoot with enough gravy, or hot custard on something you can usually choke it down!
If you ever visit these pages again, leave me a note, I'd be interested in knowing if our paths ever crossed.

{THE SCOOP} Beautiful Oblivion by Jamie McGuire
I love Jamie McGuire. LOVE. It's real and it's deep. She gave us one of the all-time great book boyfriends, one Travis "Mad Dog" Maddox.
**pause for lady shivers**
**clears throat**
We all remember the sad, dark time before Travis "Mad Dog" Maddox captured our hearts in Jamie McGuire's Beautiful Disaster. And then when we read Walking Disaster, we fell even MORE in love with him (if that were even possible). Finally, we cried while Trav and Pidge exchanged their wedding vows in A Beautiful Wedding, as we saw the epic love story that we've been a part of from the beginning come to an end. But now that Travis is done (why, Jamie, why!?!), we need another Maddox man in our lives! Well… the wait is over.
Atria Books and Jamie McGuire are thrilled to announce that there's a new Maddox brother coming to readers' shelves this summer: Beautiful Oblivion! The book will feature Trent Maddox—his friends want to be him, and women want to tame him, but there's only one woman who can have his heart. In the first installment of the Maddox Brothers books, readers can experience the rush of reading Beautiful Disaster for the first time, all over again! Rumor has it, Trent Maddox is even wilder than Travis. *fingers crossed*

The Beautiful Disaster and Walking Disaster phenomenon continues in the first heart-pounding new adult romance in The Maddox Brothers series.
Fiercely independent Camille "Cami" Camlin gladly moved on from her childhood before it was over. She has held down a job since before she could drive, and moved into her own apartment after her freshman year of college. Now tending bar at The Red Door, Cami doesn't have time for much else besides work and classes, until a trip to see her boyfriend is cancelled, leaving her with a first weekend off in almost a year.
Trenton Maddox was the king of Eastern State University, dating co-eds before he even graduated high school. His friends wanted to be him, and women wanted to tame him, but after a tragic accident turned his world upside down, Trenton leaves campus to come to grips with the crushing guilt.
Eighteen months later, Trenton is living at home with his widower father, and works full-time at a local tattoo parlor to help with the bills. Just when he thinks his life is returning to normal, he notices Cami sitting alone at a table at The Red.
As the baby sister of four rowdy brothers, Cami believes she'll have no problem keeping her new friendship with Trenton Maddox strictly platonic. But when a Maddox boy falls in love, he loves forever—even if she is the only reason their already broken family could fall apart.
In the first installment of the Maddox Brothers books, readers can experience the rush of reading Beautiful Disaster for the first time, all over again.
Could I BE any more excited? I think not. I've already called my boss and requested a personal day for July 1. CAN.NOT.WAIT.
Beautiful Oblivion pubs July 1st in paperback, e-book, and e-audio. Pre-order links for the paperback and e-book are available in some places now and the rest will be available this week.
Stay tuned for more news about BEAUTIFUL OBLIVION including a special cover reveal in March, and make sure to pre-order your copy today!

A: You have some issues in your code:

*

*When you call to controller's function, you need to define it on the controller's scope. So instead of just declare the function
function centerMap() {

Declare it on the controller
$scope.centerMap = function () {

*Like @georgeawg said, you have two ng-change directives on the select tag, you can combine them like this:
ng-change="centerMap();filterMarkers();"

*You're checking (in the if, it the value is Bert Bingle but it's never that's value because the (attribute) value of the option Bert Bingle is Bing Bingl. Also, you should check the scope and not the DOM so the right check is
if ($scope.data.singleSelect === 'Bing Bingle') {

*And finally, you don't need to create a new map in order to change the map's setting, there is an api for that setOptions.
So, instead of calling
$scope.map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'),mapOptions1);

Call this way
$scope.map.setOptions(mapOptions1);

Subaru resumes production at Gunma after shutdown
By Steve Garnsey2019-01-28T10:02:34+00:00
Subaru has restarted vehicle production at its Gunma assembly plant in Japan after a prolonged shutdown due to a possible defect in an electric power steering unit.
The company, which ceased all production and distribution at the plant on January 16, also suspended new registrations of potentially affected vehicles for the domestic market.
Production resumed at the plant on January 28 after countermeasure parts became available.
Though the cause of the potential defect has been identified, an investigation is ongoing to determine the precise details, said Subaru.
The suspect electric power steering unit was fitted in Forester, Impreza and Subaru XV models at Gunma, about 80km north-west of Tokyo, between late December and January 16. Production of other models there was also suspended, however, as they are built on the same lines.
Subaru has not said how many vehicles were affected during the period but the total will have been kept down by the plant's scheduled winter shutdown from December 29 to January 6. The suspected defect could have caused a malfunction leading to the loss of the power steering function, said the OEM, advising any customers who experienced such a failure to contact their nearest Subaru dealer and have their vehicle checked.
An initial company investigation confirmed that none of the potentially affected vehicles had reached customers outside Japan, it added.
Subaru said it was currently looking into the impact of the shutdown on its financial performance.
