'The Entertainer' Stores Become ASD-Accessible for Christmas
By Ben Dolbear on	 December 23, 2019 News
The Entertainer, the UK's largest independent toy retailer, has introduced 'quiet hours' to cater for those living with Austism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
Around 700,000 in the UK live with ASD, a neurological condition which affects how a person interacts with others, communicates, and learns. It can also impact how people cope with experiences of heightened sensual perception, a particularly poignant concern during Christmastime, when hoards of consumers flock to the shops, which are filled with festive lights and music.
National Autistic Society research has found that around 50% of people with ASD and their families sometimes avoid going out because of a concern for negative reactions by members of the public, with over one quarter having been asked to leave a public space for behaviours perceived to be antisocial which relate to their condition.
Quiet hours in all 171 of The Entertainer's stores will continue for one hour each day throughout the remainder of the month of December. During these hours, music will be turned off, store lighting will be dimmed, and staff will be specially trained to understand the condition.
Local Entertainer stores can be located in Eastleigh's Swan Centre, the Brooks Shopping Centre in Winchester, and Potters Walk in Basingstoke.

Our product stewardship activities cover the entire lifecycles of our products. We systematically identify, assess and control potential sources of danger and the associated risks at all stages of the value chain – from materials purchasing through product manufacturing to use of our products at customer sites. Our efforts here extend beyond minimum legal requirements.
Our analysis of potential safety, health and environment hazards in a product's lifecycle starts as early as at the development phase of new solutions. We take particular care when launching new products and technologies as rarely have long years of experience to fall back on. Our new product introduction (NPI) process outlines the different steps that have to be taken before a product can be brought to market.
Product stewardship starts with the procurement of key resources and materials. We have determined standardised processes for supplier selection and assessment. They ensure, for instance, that materials and products meet the highest quality requirements and that all applicable packaging and transport safety regulations are followed. We also include safety, health and environment risks when assessing suppliers.
At all of our sites, we identify and evaluate risks that our plants might pose to employees and any neighbouring companies or people living in the vicinity. Our major accident prevention policies (MAPPs) define concrete responsibilities and processes at regional level.
In recent years, we have also rolled out a Group-wide management programme to systematically identify the most serious risks at all sites. This major hazards review programme (MHRP) creates a uniform basis for measuring risks at all locations and defining specific control mechanisms to minimise these risks to the greatest possible extent. The major hazards in focus cover all key aspects of occupational health, safety and environmental protection relevant to The Linde Group.
We have developed regulations and instructions for our employees, visitors and employees from other companies to ensure their safety at our production sites and make sure they are aware of our safety requirements. Employees from other companies are also bound by the regulations in our material safety data sheets. This document is always an integral part of Linde contracts.
Our crisis management agenda includes emergency planning for major catastrophes such as fire, explosions, natural disasters, crime and pandemics, and the impact these would have on our sites and business processes. We have defined areas of responsibility and decision-making channels for these scenarios at local, regional and Group level and developed guidelines for structured communication during crises. We reviewed our crisis planning worldwide in 2010.
Health, safety and environmental metrics are an integral part of plant planning and engineering. Design reviews are crucial here, with interdisciplinary teams checking compliance with all HSE criteria at every stage of plant construction. The scope of our inspections extends to our suppliers.
Regular audits enable us to ensure compliance with our internal management system, as well as with industry standards and individual national and international regulations. Operational audits are performed using a risk-based approach, i.e. the higher the risk, the more frequent the audit. In 2010, we performed or commissioned occupational health and safety audits at over 53 percent of our sites. MHRP audits were an important part of our safety activities in 2010. As a minimum requirement under MHRP, all locations operated by Linde that store or process hazardous substances must hold a valid licence awarded following an internal audit.
Many of our locations have been certified in line with international safety standards. 22 percent of our sites, for example, are certified in accordance with the international standard OHSAS 18001 (Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series) or with SCC (Safety Certification Contractors).
Products and packaging are labelled in line with international and local statutory regulations, international standards and our in-house standards.
At the beginning of 2011, we completed notification of classification and labelling notification for our substances to comply with the European Union CLP regulations (classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures). This is a key step under the new European regulations on hazardous substances.
When we hand over our products to our customers, we want them to be aware of all necessary safety measures and fully understand our products and their properties. Providing clear information is the first step here. Our product safety datasheets plus extensive information on the handling, storage and labelling of gas products can be easily accessed, for example, via our online customer portals.
We also offer special customer safety training sessions covering the properties of gases, potential risks and important safety measures for transport, use and storage. We complement our offering with an extensive portfolio of gas supply services, ranging from risk assessment through explosion avoidance documents to the inspection, maintenance and repair of customer gas supply systems. In the Gases Division, for example, specially trained Linde employees carry out customer screenings prior to delivery, assessing whether all requirements for the safe and proper handling of gases have been met. Our product list details the different gases where customer screening is mandatory. Linde emergency teams are also on hand to help customers outside of business hours and on weekends.
Medical gases call for consistently high quality standards in relation to the purity of the gases as well as the safe handling. Linde Healthcare follows Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Good Distribution Practices (GDP) covering, among other issues, quality management, production and quality control of medicinal products as well as the processes involved in the storage and distribution of medicinal gases.
In addition, we work with clinical specialists, healthcare providers and regulatory authorities. At hospitals and other care facilities, we continue to introduce and implement training, systems and procedures to ensure safe and effective gas handling, proper controls, timely response and adherence to guidelines and standards.
As quality standards in the supply of medical gases to patient are also affected by activities within the hospital, Linde Healthcare helps customers to meet these challenging requirements by offering a complete range of services under the brand name QI Medical Gas Services. These are practical services that include all areas of medical gas supply from planning efficient gas delivery through ensuring emergency supplies to managing maintenance and repairs. Ongoing monitoring and staff training are also available.
Our high safety standards were also recognised by our customers in 2010. In Thailand, Cargill Meats, an important customer in the food industry, presented Linde with the "Safety Award – Best Contractor of the Year".
We constantly strive to avoid waste, decrease the volume of waste we generate, and reduce its risk potential. When we cannot recycle waste, we dispose of it in line with legal regulations. In 2011 we published a global standard and training materials for asbestos management in our operations. These outline steps required to ensure that asbestos materials are handled and disposed of safely.
The European Union has reformed the law governing chemicals in the EU. The new REACH regulation stipulates that all companies manufacturing or importing chemical substances in the EU in quantities of one tonne or more per year must assess the impact of these chemicals on the environment and register them according to a strict timeline.
The Linde Group meets all requirements set down in REACH to the full extent. To do this, we set up a project team of over 30 specialists across Europe headed by a REACH Europe manager to coordinate compliance with REACH.
We work actively with the European Industrial Gases Association (EIGA) and other industry associations to ensure compliance with REACH. In 2010 for example, we led a consortium formed mainly of EIGA members to complete the registration of carbon monoxide for intermediate uses. We also work with our customers and suppliers to ensure successful execution.
Our REACH website we provide detailed information on how we are meeting our legal obligations within the framework of REACH as a manufacturer, importer and user. We also detail the substances we have registered and explain how we inform our customers and suppliers about this.
We also collaborate with industry associations and local communities to promote the safe handling of gases. For example, we joined forces with the European Industrial Gases Association (EIGA) to take part in a campaign promoting the safe handling of oxygen.
Our commitment to safety in the US includes sponsoring a safety day for handling industrial gases on the campus of Pennsylvania State University in DuBois, Pennsylvania. An event for customers, fire fighters and emergency services in July 2010 focused on the safe handling of cryogenic and compressed gases.

What is 'night of rage?' Antifa thug Sarah Wasilewski arrested as Atlanta burns in anti-cop violence

Sarah Wasilewski is facing domestic terrorism charges (Sarah Wasilewski / LinkedIn)
PITTSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA: Seven people, including Sarah Wasilewski, are facing domestic terrorism charges and aggravated assault of an officer following a shootout this week in Georgia. She was arrested at the future $90 million Atlanta Public Safety Training Center in an operation on Wednesday, January 18.
According to Daily Mail, she is a part of the 'Night of Rage' a movement planned against the cops in the city. Earlier it was reported that violent Antifa protestors were calling for reciprocal violence against the police after the cops conducted a raid at the cop city and which left an activist dead and a state trooper injured.

Who is Heidi Beedle? Ex-teacher who created banned Colorado Springs Antifa Twitter account is a trans writer
What is 'Night of Rage'?
Earlier, from the official account of Scenes from Atlanta forest, the protestors tweeted, "A call for retaliation. Consider this a call for reciprocal violence to be done to the police and their allies. On Friday, January 20th, wherever you are, you are invited to participate in a night of rage in order to honor the memory of our fallen comrade. The protestors, who call themselves forest defenders, are claiming that the police have 'murdered' one of their own and are demanding 'action'." However, the account has been suspended as of now.
The Defend Atlanta Forest said, "Forest defenders on the ground say they heard a round of 12 shots fired all at once around 9:04 a.m. this morning. 'This contradicts the back-and-forth shooting story pushed by police. We have reason to believe the officer shot today was hit by 'friendly fire' and not by the protester who was killed. Do not believe the police and their media. Demand an end to police militarization and hands off the forest."Further, it added, "The police will kill you if given the chance. Now is the time for bravery. Take care of each other. Be dangerous together."

However, The Atlanta Solidarity Fund stated, "This morning Georgia State Patrol officers killed a protester in the South Atlanta Forest. GSP has not released body camera footage or meaningful details, and we are concerned a police cover-up could be underway. We are preparing a legal team to investigate and pursue a wrongful death suit." Meanwhile, A GBI spokesman said in a statement, "At about 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, as law enforcement was moving through the property, officers located a man inside a tent in the woods. Officers gave verbal commands to the man who did not comply and shot a Georgia State Patrol Trooper. Other law enforcement officers returned fire, hitting the man. Law enforcement evacuated the Trooper to a safe area. The man died on the scene. The injured Georgia State Patrol Trooper was taken to a local hospital and underwent surgery. A handgun and shell casings were located at the scene. The GBI is working on the officer-involved shooting and the investigation is still active and ongoing."

It's a spiritual truth that the mind takes on the "vibe" of wherever you put it. When you're depressed, you need to pull your mind out of depressive environments and put it in brighter places.
Go on a hike (preferably), take the dog on a walk, or walk around the block. Clear air and exercise do wonders for lifting you out of the swamp.
Turn off the TV and video games and stay off the Internet.
Both TV and the Internet can make you feel really dull and uninspired. They sap you of energy even though you are not physically doing anything. While it's not practical to avoid the Internet entirely, when you're depressed you'll be well-served to avoid it as much as possible. Limit your Internet time to necessary shopping and banking transactions and then get out. Here's more on how to fact check for yourself that the Internet is a depressant.
Video games are worlds that you immerse your mind into, so when you understand that where you put your mind determines how you feel, you understand that you need to protect where you allow your mind to go. Most video games are not bright, happy places and should be avoided when you're trying to escape depression.
Get away from toxic people.
We pick up the moods and energy of other people, so hanging around toxic people will make you feel tired, angry or depressed. When you are mired in depression, it's imperative you get away from these people.
Get to work—whether at your job or on a personal project.
Staying busy keeps you from focusing on yourself and your predicament.
Immersing your mind in bright energy will make you feel so much better. Here are some easy reads that will lift you up.
Absolutely everyone is worthy of happiness.
For long-term relief, you need to get in touch with your soul. This is the way I recommend.
Here are a few related posts: What You Focus On You Become, Remove Emotionally Heavy Items From Your House, Practice Mindfulness.
Note: While I've helped many people successfully overcome depression through meditation and mindfulness, I have no expertise nor experience working with addiction or severe mental illness. The above steps are not intended to treat those illnesses.

← The way you don't let troublesome people get to you, is to be indifferent to them.
I'm glad you asked this question because there is some nuance to the "Get to work—whether at your job or on a personal project" point, and I did go back and forth on whether to include it. I don't think working in and of itself combats depression, rather what I'm pointing to here is when you're almost immobilized by depression, getting out of the house and to work is helpful. Lying around the house exacerbates the problem. Likewise on the weekend, when you feel a cloud of depression closing in, if you put your mind into a bright project, it keeps you above the cloud.
Above being said, it is also true that if you have a draining job, going to work is not an uplifting experience (though it's usually still better than not working at all). When folks I work with have crap jobs, I advise them to get a different job. I don't say that flippantly, as if it's so easy. There's usually quite a bit of work involved in changing fields, but given career takes up such large portion of our lives, it's usually worth it to the person.
I hope this makes more sense :-).
I have depression, but I wouldn't necessarily label myself as someone with "severe mental illness". I wonder if your tips might be better labeled as how to combat sadness or low energy.
I've been steadily employed for 20+ years…curious how working combats depression?

I have never read the book, but her blog inspires me to change the way I view life, to look at the ways God has gifted me and how to frame each wonderful blessing in my mind-like a picture. She is a great photographer. She writes a bit poetically, so sometimes it is a little hard to follow, but I encourage you to check out her blog. I have started my 1,000 gifts list and today is day 45 or so- you can see I still have a way to go. Hopefully at the end of my journey, I will be able to see the abundance of gifts God has given me on a daily basis. I challenge you to join me in giving thanks to God for the little and the big gifts He bestows on all His children.

ADAMSKI Interview
October 31, 2012 / electricityclub / Comments Off on ADAMSKI Interview
Rave legend ADAMSKI, best known for his international No.1 'Killer' with SEAL, waltzes into the future. His innovative new electronic music project 'Neo-Waltz' gives a 21st century update of the style which was originally thought of as an indecent dance back in 18th Century England.
Waltzing became popular in Vienna in the 1780s and quickly spread throughout Europe as the most popular form of dance. Waltzing is performed in 3/4 time in close proximity by couples.
Bored of seeing clubbers dancing alone all these years, ADAMSKI has put a modern twist on the dance in a bid to get people dancing together.
ADAMSKI is bringing his 'Neo-Waltz' concept into the live arena at Chats Palace, the venue that witnessed several riotous performances by his electro-punk band DISKORD DATKORD before he went solo during the acid house revolution. He will be joined by singer/model VIKTORIA MODESTA who was one of the Paralympics Closing Ceremony performers who was not actually COLDPLAY and DAVID McALMONT who had two hits 'Yes' and 'Falling' as a result of a pair of musical sojourns with one-time SUEDE guitarist Bernard Butler.
Working in the 3/4 time signature has re-energised ADAMSKI. Having just signed to Mark Jones' Wall Of Sound, a number of diverse collaborators will feature on his 'Neo-Waltz' album project including REBEL MC, Adrian Sherwood from ON-U SOUND, Rat Scabies of THE DAMNED and SIOUXSIE & THE BANSHEES' Budgie.
ADAMSKI spoke to The Electricity Club about his new project and partying like it's 1799!
Starting with the upcoming 'Neo-Waltz' album, by bravely making all of the tracks on the project fit a 3/4 waltz template, this could either be seen as a constraining format or a springboard to help develop new ideas within the electronic genre, how did you view it?
Working in a different time signature has revitalized my own imagination, it all came about organically.
I heard a lot of folk music in waltz time in Venezuela played with irritating instruments, but with a sexy Latin groove that you don't hear on European classical waltzes. I started playing around on my laptop with Logic, changing from 4/4 to 3/4 time and found this parallel universe of music.
A few electronic acts like THE HUMAN LEAGUE ('Empire State Human') and DEPECHE MODE ('Personal Jesus') have dabbled with 6/8 time signatures…
Most legendary groups have done a waltz or two like LED ZEPPELIN and THE CLASH, and pop music up until the last decade also. DEPECHE MODE's new single, that's in waltz time. I've always got my ears open because I love to make my DJ sets as diverse as possible. To be honest, I'm not a trained musician but 6/8 is too fast to waltz too cos I've had a few lessons! I spin round the floor of my studio on my own just to make sure it's waltzable! *laughs*
I don't understand why people stick to such formulaic stuff. When I'm DJing, I like all the dynamics and tempo changes. But even myself, I find if I'm playing more regular music, get caught in this linear groove. This waltz stuff has opened me up. I've got to the age where I'm not going to grow out of this music thing and I'm making it interesting for myself. Waltz in the 18th Century had this underground impact on culture in the same way as acid house, so there are many parallels with that. But it's a DJ thing with guest singers rather than an orchestra. And there's a romantic spin on going clubbing.
On the new album, you are working with DAVID McALMONT. He sings on a version of the 'The Last Waltz'…
I really liked the melody and the verse. I've been cyber grave digging for the last few years and I came across that ENGELBERT HUMPERDINCK song and was actually singing it myself!
But it came across as really kitsch and comedy…I like a bit of humour in music but not too much! *laughs*
I was looking for a good male singer and I thought of David as he has one of the best soul voices in Britain to make it beautiful. I've done one version that's very electronic and another where I've put the acappella of David over Arabic music so there's these big orchestrations and doumbek percussion…it's very incongruous but I love throwing things together!
I remember fondly watching you on TOTP with SEAL using classic analogue gear such as the Roland TR909 drum machine, do you still use any vintage gear or have you completely switched over to software based recording/programming?
I've still got that Ensoniq which I did all of my first album 'Doctor Adamski's Musical Pharmacy' on with the 909 and it's got a sticker from Amnesia on it from when I did the summer season in '89.
It's a line drawing of Fred and Ginger and it inspires me. I do dig that out and use sounds from it.
One of the tracks I've made with VIKTORIA MODESTA, it's a cross between trap music and pop. I was using a Logic piano on it and thought I'd use that Ensoniq piano sound I had on 'N-R-G' and 'Killer', but I've put in a completely different context. It's kind of post-modern to me. It's a preset and people have been asking me: "What's that piano sound?" I've heard it spring up on a KELIS track and it doesn't sound like a real piano. I had two 909s and they got stolen a few years ago…I could never be ar*ed to replace them as I was really bored of them at the time. I don't have a "go to" drum machine anymore, I get my beats from all kinds of sources.
Alongside people such as pioneering Mute/Rhythm King artist BABY FORD, THE KLF and Mark Moore's S-EXPRESS, tracks such as 'N-R-G' helped kickstart the whole rave scene. Personally I find dance music these days pretty faceless and lacking in real personalities…
Yeah! In any field really, I find current pop stars bland. You used to be able to get real maverick characters like MARC ALMOND, BOY GEORGE, ADAM ANT and people would get behind them and loved that. Now people just play it safe with really mundane stuff like TAKE THAT and their token eccentric ROBBIE WILLIAMS who's a bit wacky! I find it all a bit soulless. Kids these days are opiated by the internet!
We have this song called 'Numb Generation'; apart from DAVID McALMONT, my singers and rappers are in their 20s and Micky Lightfoot is saying his generation don't give a sh*t about anything other than Facebook and stuff which is kind of an obvious thing to say bit it's true! What about the forty war zones, why isn't anyone bothered about anything? But then in the rave scene, we were only worried about what clothes to wear and our sound systems being confiscated!
Legendary punk drummers Rat Scabies and Budgie are also involved with 'Neo-Waltz', what was the idea behind bringing these guys in?
I'm made track with them and about to do one with Dave Barbarossa from the original ADAM & THE ANTS and BOW WOW WOW…I don't know why because I prefer electronic drums but I crossed paths with people and I'm quite good friends with Budgie and Dave. I like working with all different musicians just to see what happens. THE DAMNED had a waltz track and THE BANSHEES had a couple like 'Playground Twist'! Budgie actually said to me their label told them they had too many waltzes and they had to rework it all into 4/4 time! Those people have a rich heritage coming from when music was more misfit yet SIOUXSIE & THE BANSHEES made it into the charts all the time! I don't think that would happen now.
But Britain got so cocky and colonial after in the 90s that when good music started coming from all over Europe, they started to take the p*ss out of Spanish pop songs but Ibiza became the Mecca of dance music and still is! There's good, wicked pop music that comes out of Sweden although there was always ABBA…
The whole vintage/steampunk scene has become massive over the last few years, from the festivals held on the South Bank to the proliferation of shops that stock hard to find/classic clothing, what do you hope that your new project will bring to this and are you partially aligning yourself with these scenes?
Not really, I've see the way they dress but not heard the music! There's the electro-swing stuff which is just talking an old track and putting a beat with it…my stuff's more evolved.
There's not that much that's retro about it, I'm mixing up all eras. I just want to encourage individuality having been interested in punk as a kid.
I know 'Never Mind The Bollocks' is the greatest rock album of all-time, but 'The Great Rock 'N' Roll Swindle' was so inspiring… it had classical, it had disco and waltz on it, a French version of 'Anarchy In The UK', Sid Vicious doing EDDIE COCHRAN rockabilly songs! It was just saying you can do whatever you want and I like that sort of thing.
I can just about play enough notes and chords into a sequencer. I'd like to point out it is easy; it's not like some clever music professor sort of thing! It's about having an idea and the passion for it. I've always been into DIY music but there are limits…there are some chancers who have made completely sh*t music! *laughs*
While we are on the topic of the early days, 'Killer' was such a massive hit for you, did it become a bit of a millstone for you in trying to surpass or equal it or is it something that you will always be proud of as your defining moment?
I've grown proud of it more in recent years. I was over it for about 15 years and I wouldn't play it in my set.
I found it all a bit embarrassing and annoying that people would define me by that one track just because it was commercially more successful. It was just the one that resonated with the public and crossed over into the mainstream more than my other stuff. It wasn't my favourite so in that sense, it was annoying! People wanted me to do awful things like get a SEAL soundalike and do tours!
About three years ago, it was the 20th Anniversary and I got NINA HAGEN to re-sing it because I wanted to commemorate it seeing as that's what everyone was doing, all this retro culture, tribute bands and bands reforming! So I got NINA HAGEN because she was the antithesis of SEAL! But it didn't work out because of admin people getting in the middle of it as usual. So I got my friend Gerardo to sing it.
Lately, I've been proud of how many times it's been covered. It dawned on me…I can't think of any other track from that acid house generation that's been covered so much.
At the heart of it is a good song and it has the cool sounds… you'll laugh but I used to be in a band and we covered it!!
I met this Austrian producer in a pub a couple of months ago and he was talking about it in real musical terms: "the bit that really made it work is the way that minor note clashes with the major key"… I really hadn't a clue what he was talking about! The intellectual stuff was going over my head *laughs*
It's been covered by heavy metal bands, schmaltzy pop singers like GEORGE MICHAEL and indie folkies like WHITEST BOY ALIVE. Obviously, when I was sticking in my one finger bassline, I never envisaged that it would keep going and going! People have asked if I'm going to do a waltz version and I feel like head butting them!! *laughs*
You have booked the Chats Palace in Hackney for a live experience to link in with the Neo-Waltz project, what can people expect from these upcoming events?
The music all night will be in waltz time, whether that's 3/4 or 6/8 and mostly DJ orientated. But I've got an amazing pianist who's going to perform with DAVID McALMONT who is also going to do some electronic tracks with me.
And there's my main singer VIKTORIA MODESTA who is a super talented young woman, she's amazing! She's so inspiring anyway because she's lost her leg and was born in Soviet Latvia. I asked her to do one track and she ended up doing eight and it's changed the course of the album as it's given it some continuity.
She's become my main muse but we've been working together with Skip McDonald who was in the house band of Sugarhill Records and he's brought in this Afro-American authenticity and spirit.
So there's this sort of cabaret element to it but it's not a nightclub thing. It's an evening event but from me, you will get phat bass and beats chopped up with many bits of genres. The other DJ Richard Torry will unearth these weird waltzes from strange soundtracks of flesh eating zombies from outer space that were made on Moogs. He's been editing and adding beats to them. I think people will find it refreshing, they'll hear a lot of music they've never heard in a club before and music you think you should hear in a club but just don't. Included in the price is dance lessons off the legendary choreographer Les Childs who has worked with ERASURE and PET SHOP BOYS too.
With the new shows, are you deliberately disassociating yourself from your previous work or will there be a chance for fans to hear versions of your earlier tracks?
No, there won't be anything from my back catalogue because none of it's in waltz time but speaking of SEAL, I did do a remix of 'Kiss From A Rose' back in the day which was my first foray into working with electronic waltz beats, because that track's a waltz. So I've got him to thank for that funnily enough. It's the only song of his that I like. Once the remix was finished, I was really happy with it and so was he and then, unbeknown to me, Trevor Horn took it away, re-edited it and layered on all these sounds and butchered it as far as we were concerned…we were both really pis*ed off! First we heard of it was on KissFM on a Saturday afternoon…"hang on, I took off all those expensive strings and things!"
So I might rework that, that'll be the only associated thing from my past. Otherwise it's all about the new! I do these old skool rave reunions occasionally and I'm grateful that people are interested in my music from whatever time in my life but it's really my least favourite thing to do to keep playing music from half my life ago! But I try to make it a bit interesting for myself by sticking FREDDIE MERCURY samples in! *laughs*

David Tepper after his first night in the war room: "You get a little impatient as you see different players picked. But the way the board fell was really good for us. I kind of knew we'd have somebody that we wanted. And we did." https://t.co/Tg6XAf02RU
As is tradition for Day 2 of the Draft, the narrative of the day will continue to be about the first round, up until the second round starts at 7 p.m.

#Panthers draft Greg Little in second roundhttps://t.co/4D0awq1ELb
Per PFF, Greg Little allowed just 26 total pressures and three sacks in 993 pass-blocking snaps over his final two seasons at Ole Miss.
MH: "Left tackles are going to go and they're extremely valuable. We thought if we didn't make this move, we didn't feel good about our chances of getting one."

The Chairman, Amalgamation of Wailari and Mai Kalwa Communities' Associations, Alhaji Nura Danjuma, said the affected communities had channeled their complaints to relevant authorities with a view to addressing the problem but their appeals were unsuccessful.
Residents of five communities in Kumbotso local government area of Kano state have threatened to boycott the routine polio immunization and 2019 general elections if the authorities concerned fail to rehabilitate their damaged road that makes the areas inaccessible especially during rainy season.
The affected communities are Yanlemo 'Yan-Tasi, Mai Kalwa, Wailari, Kwarin Goje and Umarawa.
Kano Chronicle observed that the residents have been battling with flooding, erosion and other related challenges courtesy of lack of good drainages.
"We have done the needful but it seems the authorities are not willing to address our plight. In view of this, the amalgamation of all associations in the affected areas has resolved that residents of the communities will boycott subsequent immunization exercises and the 2019 general elections.
"There is no point participating in the exercises while government is not paying any attention to our plights. Since our representatives at both local and state levels are not proactive in addressing our problems, there is no point of partaking in the elections," he said.
A visit to the affected areas by our reporter indicated that erosion had consumed a large portion of the only road that linked some of the communities in the area. The road, which starts from Yanlemo, was constructed over eight years ago and since then it has not been rehabilitated despite several pleas by members of the communities.
Malam Ya'u Yahaya, a resident of Wailari community, said whenever there was rain many people had to pass their night elsewhere because they could not use the road to access their respective homes.
"Last year, we lost three members of this community including two children. The deceased tried to reach their homes after a heavy downpour but lost their lives while trying cross an overflooded ditch. It has become a tradition in this area that whenever it rained, some of us had to sleep in other places.
The road has become a threat to our lives," Yahaya lamented.
Also commenting on the development, Malama Hafsatu Muhammad of Wailari, said the communities had made a right decision to let the government and general public know the difficulty they were experiencing.
Further observation revealed that most of public schools in the affected areas have to close for some days whenever it rained, as lesson could not hold in most of the classrooms due to their bad condition.
Children's education, according to some members of the communities, was inconsistent in the rainy season.
Business activities in the affected communities have also been relegated to its lowest level due to lack of good road that made it difficult for customers to access the communities.

Kenyatta become first sitting president to appear at ICC
With the unenviable distinction of being the first sitting president to appear before the International Criminal Court, Kenyan leader Uhuru Kenyatta's entered that tribunal in the Hague.
He'll learn today when the ICC plans to start his trial for crimes against humanity perpetrated in violence after Kenya's disputed elections seven years ago.
The ICC, which has delayed President Uhuru Kenyatta's prosecution because it can't get the information it needs from Nairobi to build its case, failed again in that quest yesterday.
Kenyan authorities are refusing to turn over Kenyatta's bank, tax and telephone details.
The prosecution maintains it needs these to make its case that Kenyatta fuelled ethnic violence after the 2007 poll.
The Kenyan president's strategy is clearly to paralyse the prosecution and force it to drop the charges he maintains he is innocent of.

As foretold on the 20th Zone thread, here comes the PvP component.
The idea is, to have Gym Leaders who's roles are taken by Players.
19-20 Zones means, there will be 19-20"Leaders".
It's an idea which derived from an old guild on here(akatslowi).
■HOW?: There will be an Event-Guild made.
→No Authority Powers like ban etc.
→50 IVs or 25 IVS depending on the challenge wished.
Whether they will be Changeable depends on the challenge wished.
→Untradeable, outside of PvP unuseable, not rank affecting.
•Teams will get harder the higher the Gym Leader, 1.easiest,19hardest.
•The winners will receive a Badge like Title (Profile Page one[like cms and scms have one]) for ingame profile and Forum profile.
•Will not only fetch Respekt, but also eye candy!
•New special skins accessable with each milestone.
■What else?: Funding stone that can be expanded!
•As new Zones or Monsters come, it can get more shemes and with that additional GLs.
•This should make People crave PvP again, thus making the PvP Community more active and that alone will lead to more things!
As mentioned on pp as well, to get the amount of active users is a 'problem'.
The PvE gyms would remain.

Students from Firth Park Academy have been getting their dancing shoes on ahead of a performance which will be held at The Octagon Centre on Saturday.
Audiences will be in for a rare treat as the students join the ranks with Birmingham-based Keneish Dance alongside the voices of Sheffield Oratorio chorus, in an exciting evening of African-inspired rhythms.
They will be presenting a contemporary dance spectacle with the professionals at Keneish Dance, who along with Keisha Grant, have choreographed an accompaniment to David Fanshawe's African Sanctus which will be performed by the chorus.
Comprising of 25 students aged between 11 and 15, the enthusiastic group from Firth Park Academy have been working hard during the lead up to the performance, to get themselves ready for the big night which will take place on July 7.
On the night they will also be joined by soprano soloist Gweneth-Ann Rand with an instrumental ensemble by the South Yorkshire Symphony Orchestra.
Bliss Spencer, 13, is in year eight, and is taking part in the performance. She said: "I can't wait to see what it will look like on stage. It's been tiring, but everyone is managing to keep their energy going, and everyone keeps getting better.
"I'm excited to get our t-shirts, you can pick a colour either orange or yellow. I'm also excited to dance, it's nice to see our hard work pay off and we feel ready. I will be taking BTEC dance next year."
Viktor Clausz, 15, is a year 10 student, and a keen dancer having done ballroom dance before. He is one of eight boys who are taking part in the performance, and is currently studying BTEC dance.
He said: "Rehearsals are going great, it's nice to see everyone developing their skills."
The students started rehearsals at the beginning of June, with three workshops lead by Jerome Wilks from the Keneish dance company, before Sarah Robinson, a teacher at Firth Park Academy, continued rehearsals.
Christiana Wilhelm-Makinde, 11, is currently in year seven. She said: "It's been a good experience, and it gets us ready for the future if we want to pick dance. It's really nice, you can let your feelings out, enjoy yourself, hang out with your mates and practice your skills."
Consolatha Baloyi, 13, is in year eight, and she wants to become more involved in dancing.
"Rehearsals have been going well, everybody is into it and going for it. But I've had fun with people, it's been really good," she said.
The African Sanctus is a musical one-off, where the singers deliver Fanshawe's version of the Latin Mass harmonised with traditional African music, recorded by the young composer during a 2,000-mile journey up the River Nile between in 1969, from the Mediterranean Sea to Lake Victoria.
The taped music comes from Egypt, Sudan, Uganda and Kenya, consisting of 13 movements that follow the composer of his journey through Africa.
Tracks include the calling of a muezzin, Masai milking songs, frogs croaking from a swamp in a heavy rainfall, wedding celebrations, burial laments and Koranic chanting.
Fanshawe is often credited with inventing sampling with this work, besides mixing musical genres and styles in a way hardly dreamt of before the work's premiere in 1972.
Although David Fanshawe composed many other singular works before his death in 2010 and left an enormous archive of world music tapes, slides and journals from his travels as an ethno-musicologist the vivid African Sanctus remains his best-known work.
The journey that inspired it was quite literally an adventure: hitchhiking alone with rucksack, tent, camera and tape recorder, he learnt to ride a camel, was arrested as a suspected spy, survived a plane crash and even had to swim for his life from an enraged hippopotamus.
The collaboration between Sheffield Oratorio Chorus, Keneish Dance and the Firth Park pupils explores themes of journeying both literal and emotional, challenge and diversity.
The performance will take place The Octagon Centre on Western Bank at 7.30pm of July 7.
Tickets will cost £15/£20 depending on seating area, with concessions priced at £12/£17 and students/under 16's £5.
They are available online via www.oratorio.org.uk, from the Blue Moon Café on 2 St James Street in Sheffield or on the door.

Tacky, Mr. Bolton
Keine Kommentare zu Tacky, Mr. Bolton
As customary another ex-politician, Trump's former National Security Advisor John Bolton, has written a book. Little surprisingly, too, he takes a good swipe at the man he once considered a great president – at least publicly.
But why has he held his tongue for so long? This information would have greatly fuelled Trump's impeachment. If everything is true, he could have proved abuse of power (all of a sudden he talks about "obstruction of justice as a way of life") as well as another attempt at roping in foreign governments for his own interests (Bolton claims Trump pleaded with Chinese President Xi to support his re-election by buying American soy-beans and wheat). Instead, in contrast to some of his staff, he refused to testify during the House impeachment inquiry. Then, he opportunistically kept quiet, and now he plainly and simply wants to boost sales with sensational news. I am very sorry, Mr. Bolton – even though one can vividly imagine Trump's egocentricity and ignorance (like not knowing the UK is a nuclear power and asking if Finland was part of Russia) – no, this does not make you particularly trustworthy. In addition, the basics have all been too well-known for quite a while.
And there is one thing you should not forget: Bolton too is a narrow-minded nationalistic hardliner who, just like his former boss, does not care in the least about other interests apart from his own and from American ones. In this order. He e.g. fervently supported the Vietnam War, but avoided being drafted by enlisting in the Maryland National Guard. And he shares Trump's penchant for disinformation and lies. As head of the right-wing, Islamophobic Gatestone Institute he was co-responsible for disseminating false information, downright lies and hate campaigns against immigrants in general and Muslims in particular (who, they claimed, were planning the "Great White Death" all over the world). He discredited the UN Human Rights Council whenever he could. And he was one of the architects of the Iraq-War in 2003 and co-author of the WMD fairy-tale. Even though you might rejoice at everybody finding fault with Trump, you cannot really wish for this book to be a success. Two million $ advance from his publisher are already way too much for this man.
What is more, Trump supporters will, as usual, shrug off these stories as fake news. After all, Bolton is not the first one to tell White House inside stories and confirm everything we already know about Trump's state of mind and traits of character. Even his completely irrational behaviour during the Corona-crisis and his remarks verging on total mental deficiency could not harm him much (the decline in support is rather marginal considering his performance). Not even the current protests against racism and police violence must really disturb him. Racism is much too deeply rooted in American society. It remains to be seen how long this statement by the American journalist David French, referring to the murders of Trayvon Martin and Ahmaud Arbery, will still hold true: "There are Americans who would never pick up a weapon and try to track down a black man running on the street – or follow a young black man on a rainy night – but they understand and sympathize with those who do." (David French: "The double injustice of unreasonable fear." TIME Magazine, June 1 / June 8, 2020)
Now as before no book, no protest but only the economic development can seriously endanger Trump's re-election (https://www.myview-wolfgangmebs.de/dawn/). Bolton's 'revelations' are nothing but cowardly retaliation and pure profiteering, and they will probably remain trivial and inconsequential.

Emojis That Doesn't Mean What You Think
July 17th, World Emoji Day, is approaching! Rarely a day goes by that we do not see emojis. They are everywhere. They are not limited in text messages and social media anymore. We see them in press releases, merchandise such as emoji on t-shirts and phone cases, and even in tattoos. But did you know that the original meanings of some of the emoji were lost in translation?
Emoji has been used in chatroom conversations since they were first invented by a Japanese mobile carrier in 1990. Furthermore, emoji spread to people all around the world at a speed of light when Apple added their first emoji keyboard to iPhones in 2011. In 2015, for the first time in history, Oxford Dictionaries recognized a pictograph as the Word of The Year, a smiling face with tears emoji . Facebook revealed that more than seven hundred million emoji are used in Facebook posts and over five billion emoji are sent every day. A research even says 92 percent of all people online use emoji.
As a Japanese recently moved to the U.S., I have discovered a fun fact that sometimes my American friends use emoji in a meaning I could never have imagined. For example, my good friend Manu chooses emoji of a monkey with two hands in front of its eyes conveying embarrassment in a playful way. This gesture originally embodies one of the three wise monkeys from an old Japanese proverb, "see no evil" which means "I do not want to see what I should not."
She also likes to use the folded hands emoji as a gesture of prayer. It was intended to represent apologizing or saying "please" from Japanese body language when pleading for forgiveness. (I have heard it is also called high-five emoji in the U.S., the depiction of which I like very much.)
Here are some of the emoji that are often interpreted as something completely different than what they are meant to be used for!
Many people interpret this emoji as a sign of surprise, or even as a posture of a ballerina. But it actually wants to tell you that everything is okay! A person making a circle with their arms above their head is an OK gesture because a circle represents "true" or "good" in Japan. Check our blog post for more detail!
This poor lady is widely misunderstood that she is a sassy woman flipping her hair like she just doesn't care at all and chosen to accompany sarcastic remarks. But originally she was created to illustrate someone working at an information desk, raising her hand to express helpfulness as if asking, "how may I help you?"
People often use this emoji to represent that they are thinking hard or being serious about something. However, the original meaning of the emoji is strong apology intending to depict dogeza, an act of apologizing to prostrate directly on the ground and bow.
The first time I saw this emoji used as an @ sign, I laughed out loud that it was so creative and fun. This is actually fish cake usually added as a topping in a ramen bowl.
I think this emoji is the best example that every Japanese immediately understands the symbol that leaves non-Japanese in a fog. Do you have any idea what it means? No, it is not fire. No, it is not a burning tofu either. It is a name badge! The tulip-shaped name badge is the most common design found at Japanese kindergartens. It is supposed to be used beside our name when we introduce ourselves, for example, in a group message.
It almost looks like a steamy hot plate, but it actually is a circular tub with steam rising out of it. The emoji is the official map symbol of hot spring which you will see everywhere throughout the country when you visit Japan.
If you understand the original depiction of the emoji immediately, you must be an anime fan! Often mistakenly used to represent that something is gorgeous and sparkly like a shooting star, it is actually a dizzy emoji. In Japanese comics, a circling star is used to express being light headed or confused about their orientation as if you were hit so hard on the head that you see stars.
Emoji sweeps our electronic communications. They are cute and addictive . Knowing that sometimes in a different culture they could have a different interpretation makes using emoji so much more fun !

Friendly robot companion "Pepper" celebrates birthday with thyssenkrupp test tower
[Translate to English:] Copyright: Pepper by SoftBank Robotics
• To support Germany's highest visitor platform celebrate its second birthday, we will be welcoming Pepper to the Test Tower. He will be posing for selfies and entertaining visitors with quizzes and jokes on 5 and 6 October 2019.
• By inviting the social robot to Rottweil, thyssenkrupp Elevator hopes to offer visitors a new technology experience
The Test Tower viewing platform will reach its second birthday over the weekend of 5 and 6 October 2019. To mark the occasion, thyssenkrupp Elevator is delighted to welcome a very special guest to Rottweil, in the shape of the Pepper the social robot. Pepper is a veteran of a number of appearances on television and at trade fairs. He's an inquisitive, helpful chap, and promises to bring an extra dose of fun to Germany's highest viewing platform. As well as hosting a quiz about the Test Tower, he will also be available to pose for selfies with visitors, or to entertain them with a joke.
Pepper's visit is designed to test how social robots can be used to communicate with visitors. "We are definitely really excited to see what our visitors will think of Pepper," says Tower Manager Beate Höhnle. "We are delighted that there is still so much interest in the Test Tower, and we hope that having Pepper here for our birthday weekend will give our guests the chance to experience something new with the technology of the future."
"Pepper is really looking forward to going to the thyssenkrupp Test Tower", adds Thorben Seeland, a developer at ENTRANCE artificial intelligence in Wuppertal, western Germany. "This will be the highest we've ever taken him," says Seeland, who has already been working with Pepper for two-and-a-half years. Communicating with the clever little robot is easy and intuitive because he can use our body language, gestures and tone of voice to read our emotions and react accordingly.
Germany's highest viewing platform, perched 232 metres (761ft) off the ground, has developed into a major visitor attraction for the whole region, with a total of over 400,000 tickets having been sold since it opened in 2017. The Test Tower in Rottweil is used to test and certify the elevators of the future, and is particularly focused on the MULTI, the next generation of elevator technology. Three of the tower's twelve elevator shafts are dedicated to testing the new MULTI system, which is powered by the same magnet technology as the Transrapid levitating train. This unique drive system allows MULTI elevators to move sideways and to reach absolutely any height – the sky literally is the limit. This in turn allows buildings to be constructed to previously inconceivable designs. The tower is also used to test the latest generation of our TWIN elevators, which feature two cabs travelling through the shaft independently of each other. This technology is currently being installed in the huge Hudson Yards development in Manhattan, which will be the first building in New York equipped with TWIN elevators.

The late Haja Sally Savage nee Rahman hails from a distinguished ancestral lineage of fourahbayans.She was born into a very rich heritage which could be strongly justified culturally, religiously and from a secular standpoint. With this background the late Haja Sally truly assimilated these cherished values and depicted these in so many ways during her 53 plus years Allah gave her to dwell with us. She had a very impressive educational achievement which started in Freetown (Methodist Girls High School) and completed at tertiary level here in the US. Precisely, Middlesex county college and Kean University, there she graduated with an accounting degree. Most impressive was her interpersonal behavior with acquaintances, friends and family members. Her charismatic composure was easily seen by the way she related to all and was ready to assist when the opportunity arises.
A close look at her family speaks volume. With help from her loving husband,dear Mum Haja Balkisu Rahman and siblings,Abdul Salam Rahman, Tejan Rahman,Lambratu,Husai and Rahim, imbibed a lot of values to her two sons Omar and Alhaji.Her selfless support to her husband family member starting from brothers and sisters in law, cousins, triggers a very long list.
Members of our Fourahbayan Community and the community at large, to eulogize about the late Haja Sally I Savage will not only take time but making it very comprehensive will be a daunting task. Suffice to say praise be to God Almighty, her life spent on earth was quite fulfilled.

Amadeus today announces that Air France and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines have signed a ten year agreement for the implementation and operation of Amadeus Altéa Inventory by 2010. The airlines' new inventory management solution will be fully integrated with their sales platform, Altéa Reservation. Both airlines will replace their legacy inventory systems with a single solution that will manage their 74.5 million passengers and more than 900,000 flights per year.
Madrid, Spain, 26 October 2009: Amadeus, a global leader in technology for the airline industry, today announces that Air France and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines have signed a ten year agreement for the implementation and operation of Amadeus Altéa Inventory by 2010. The airlines' new inventory management solution will be fully integrated with their sales platform, Altéa Reservation.
Both airlines will replace their legacy inventory systems with a single solution that will manage their 74.5 million passengers and more than 900,000 flights per year.
Amadeus Altéa Inventory is a critical component of the Altéa Suite and has been selected by more than 70 airlines around the world. Designed from the ground up using Service Oriented Architecture and latest technology, it enables airlines to automate schedules management and re-accommodation, control availability using the most advanced revenue management techniques and offer customer centric services such as intelligent group seating – taking into consideration a customer value parameter for differentiated services.
Altéa Inventory will support Air France and KLM in their key objective of maximising revenue from a single business operating two carrier codes. The two airlines will take this opportunity to align and optimise their critical schedule management and revenue management processes, leveraging best practices from both sides.
"In these turbulent times, every single improvement on the top line matters. Amadeus Altéa Inventory will bring us the dynamic inventory controls we need to exploit every opportunity to maximise revenue." added Peter Hartman KLM President & CEO.
Air France was a launch partner of the Amadeus reservation system. Following the Air France KLM merger in May 2004, the migration to the Altéa Customer Management Solution Suite has been a strategic project to integrate both airlines' critical operational processes and deliver long term competitive advantage. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines joined the Amadeus Altéa Reservation platform in April 2007, facilitating the optimisation of sales & reservation resources and code sharing between the two airlines.
David Jones expressed Amadeus' satisfaction in the renewed trust placed on the company's capacity to deliver cutting edge IT solutions that match airlines' most advanced requirements.
Following Air France and KLM's decision, other airlines currently using the Air France or KLM in-house inventory systems are also joining the Amadeus platform. Kenya Airways and Martinair will also migrate from the KLM system in 2010.
The Altéa Suite is an integrated customer management solution to completely transform the end-to-end customer experience and support best in class revenue management. This new generation common platform comprises three main components (Altéa Reservation, Altéa Inventory and Altéa Departure Control). The entire Altéa Suite is fully up and running and has already been selected by over 70 airlines of all sizes and from around the world.
In just a few years, Amadeus has become a leading airline IT provider offering a fast growing portfolio of unique new generation solutions shared by a community of over 200 airlines. The portfolio includes the Amadeus Altea Suite (new generation customer management solution), the Amadeus e-Commerce Suite and other added value solutions like Amadeus Revenue Integrity.
The Air France-KLM Group was set up in 2004 and comprises a holding company and two airlines that have retained their separate brand and identity. Together, Air France and KLM serve an extensive global network structured around their hubs at Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Amsterdam-Schiphol. Currently, the group has a workforce of over 100,000, carries 74 million passengers annually to 244 destinations worldwide, and operates a fleet of over 600 aircrafts. This reflects its newfound position as the global market leader in terms of revenues, with a total revenue of 23,97 billion euros in 2008/2009. Air France and KLM are members of the SkyTeam Alliance, whose services span the world. Air France was founded in 1933, KLM in 1919.

Rebellion: AVP not a "me too" shooter
February 11th, 2010, 20:52 Posted By: wraggster
Aliens Vs Predator senior producer Dave Brickley says the brutal FPS isn't just another "me too" shooter, and so won't need to clash directly with the FPS top dogs, Modern Warfare 2 and Halo 3.
In an interview with CVG, Brickley said: "Those are really awesome games, and it's not hard to see why they are so dominant. Which is why it's nice not to be going into such a competitive market as a 'me too' shooter.
"FPS is just one of three strands in Aliens vs Predator, and it's that three species approach which means we have a unique opportunity to tear people away from what they may be enjoying," he added.
"Even as an FPS it's a very different proposition - we've carried the survival / horror ethos across from the single player into [the multiplayer modes]."

This week, the Clan discusses a certain listeners grotesquely awesome comic book collection, and then we dive into an epic review of Doom 2016. Enjoy!
Doom 3. The game was released on May 13 2016.
The gameplay returns to a fast paced shooter with open levels to explore, similar to the first two games.
co-developed with id Software by Certain Affinity and Escalation Studios.

Like the original DOOM (classic) DOOM (2016) was inspired by music particularly heavy metal.

Doom 3 was sort of a reboot.
future id games would be published by Bethesda Softworks, including Doom 4 in addition to Rage and future Quake titles.

their own ideas and theorize about who the Doom Slayer is, from where he came, and why he is there.


I'm considering how to do the wiring for the new detection system. When this sensor X and this sensor Y are both turned on I want it to make the system stop, but how do you think I should wire it?
If that's what you are doing, a series wiring would work.
By the way, what is the purpose of putting in these sensors?
I'm putting them in to ensure safety. Is there anything else I should be careful of when I do the wiring?
If you are using them as a safety device, Normal Close should be used for the wiring so that a signal is sent when the sensor is off, not on. Otherwise, if the sensor is broken there is a chance that a signal might be sent from Normal Open and cause a safety problem.

I'll admit, I would sometimes be the first to be critical of a church spending money on itself to improve or expand its building. I do not b28elieve that "if we build it, they will come" and I don't think the church is "just a building" (or that a church even needs a building to exist, certainly it does not) And I do believe the true calling of a church is not to serve itself, but to serve others, and to generously love and care for people in need.
However, as Calvary has embarked upon the current construction work to replace the roofs and update the Sanctuary space, and as we prepare for what is likely to be an even bigger project sometime over the next 1-2 years, I have seen the positives of doing much needed work to care for the building, and through this work have felt a powerful connection to the historic journey of not just our church, but THE CHURCH.
Maybe this photo of Pastor Kemper from 1961 summs it up best. He is standing in the yet-to-be-complete Calvary Narthex with the Sanctuary, and its A-Frame, stretching out behind him. Through documents and photos we have been exploring recently for the anniversary, I have seen how intimately connected Pastor Kemper was with the construction of the new facility at Calvary. In that new work was placed not just excitement and joy over expanded space, but also the hopes and dreams of a pastor and congregation looking to connect more people to the Word of God and desiring to better serve the needs those inside and outside of the church.
Over recent months as we are again under construction as a church, I have felt a powerful connection to the Calvary of the 60's. And though I never met him, I have felt a personal connection to "Fritz" who helped bring it all together. We have unearthed portions of the foundation and exposed segments of the building that have not been seen since completion in 1962. I was even able to venture to the top of the A-Frame for a photo, as Pr. Kemper did during construction.
All this is to say that yes, a building is just a building, there is nothing magic about a good or better space for worship. But a building project can help lead a congregation of believers into an exciting new future. Space for serving families and children, a hall to welcome the community, a rejuvinated sanctuary to better serve area musicians and multiple worshiping groups can aid in the gospel-spreading work that every church is called to.
So now it is up to us. Will we conscientiously care for all that we have been blessed with? Will we rise to the challenges and take hold of the opportunities that exist now and in the years to come? Will we use a rejuvenated worship space, and a soon to be renovated building to respond to the call of God to carry the gospel, and gospel-centered ministry to our community and beyond?

'MMK' opens 2022 with a bang, tells Carlo Paalam's life story
"MMK," the country's longest drama anthology, pays tribute to Philippine national athletes by telling the story of Carlo Paalam, the silver medalist at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games on Saturday (Jan.8).
Carlo's life was never easy (CJ Navato). His mother abandoned him and his siblings at a young age, leaving them in the care of relatives who regarded them as worthless. However, they are reunited with their father after a time and are forced to live in a pigpen.
He meets Hernan (Mon Confiado) while scavenging and is invited to be his son's sparring partner. Hernan offered to train him in boxing after noticing his potential. He quickly establishes himself as the town's young champion.
However, as a national athlete, he struggles to win a gold medal at the Southeast Asian Games. See how Carlo regains his composure and fights for a spot in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, where he earned the country's silver medal.
"MMK" will be honored as the Best Episodic TV Program at the 2021 CFO Migration Advocacy and Media (MAM) Awards this month for its "Tubig" episode featuring the story of Sarah (Shaina Magdayao) an OFW in Saudi Arabia who abandons her dreams of completing her studies to marry Nelson, an abusive and unfaithful husband.
"MMK" is available on A2Z, the Kapamilya Channel on YouTube, the ABS-CBN Entertainment Facebook page, and iWantTFC. Outside the Philippines, it is available on The Filipino Channel, a cable and IPTV channel.

Construction begins to extend Auckland waterfront boundary for $35 million 'showpiece' public space
6 Dec, 2019 08:45 PM 4 minutes to read
Aerial view of the downtown public space project which began construction on December 2, 2019.

Construction to extend the waterfront boundary of downtown Auckland by 1800 square metres for a $35 million tree-covered "showpiece" public space has begun this week.
Auckland Transport's (AT) Downtown Public Space project will be constructed over the next 12 months, and create a paved area for the public in the ferry basin between Princes Wharf and Queens Wharf.
• Premium - Delays mean showcase downtown projects likely to miss America's Cup
• Watch $850m project: preparing for NZ's biggest commercial development
• Quay St 'nightmare': Auckland Transport defends plans
• Revealed: Auckland's new waterfront plans for America's Cup
When completed, an elevated "tidal shelf" will jut out over Waitematā Harbour from Quay St, suspended by piles rising several metres above water level.
The space will have numerous pohutukawa groves, public seating, and a mussel rope system filtering dirty stormwater beneath the platform connected to the seabed.
AT's Eric Van Essen oversees the work, one of six major projects being constructed to "transform" Auckland's waterfront landscape in time for the 2021 America's Cup.
Van Essen says the downtown public space is Auckland Council's effort to return some city public land to Aucklanders after Queen Elizabeth Square was sold to Precinct Properties Limited in 2016.
"I think this is special in that's new additional public space people can enjoy. It's not just a resurfacing of Quay St," Van Essen said.
"It's a showcase, it's very prominent sitting out across the top of the water, you'll see it as you come in on the ferry services.
"It will be an area that will serve as a bit of respite from the thoroughfare of Quay St - sit down, have a bite to eat, meet people, linger there, it's pretty special."

A street veiw of the downtown public space project, set to be completed by December 2020.
The project has also already won an award at the Resene New Institute of Landscape Architects in November in the Unbuilt Visionary Category.
Van Essen confirmed the Downtown Public Space project has remained at its original costing of $35 million. The entire project is costing $332 million.
However in November, the Herald reported the Quay St "enhancement" project directly next to the downtown public space programme had blown out by $13 million to $72.15 million.
Van Essen denied there would be any further disruption to the traffic congestion along Quay St, which has been reduced to a single lane since December last year to allow construction supplies to be delivered. "A lot of construction deliveries would occur outside of typical hours," Van Essen said.
"They'll try to avoid [peak] times for deliveries of materials." "We narrowed the traffic down along Quay St early in the piece so people could become accustomed how to navigate through."
AA's Barney Irvine was unsure if the new project would make Quay St traffic worse - but noted he "wasn't sure how much worse it could get".
"Not nearly enough forethought seems to have been given to east west connectivity in the city," Irvine said.
"East west connectivity is a real challenge, and we've seen a lot of [construction] decisions made without anywhere enough planning on how we are coping with the amount of traffic that gets rerouted away from the central city.
"The longer Quay St construction goes on for it cannot help the situation."
Construction on the public space will, however, have several impacts on the already heavily disrupted Quay St.
Pedestrians will be diverted off the northern side of Quay St for 100m or so between the permanent eastern and western kiosks near the ferry terminal.
The temporary walkway through this northern side of Quay St will be closed.
Pedestrians will have to exclusively use the south side of the street from December 9until the downtown public space project is eventually completed in December 2020.
The downtown public space platform is one of six major projects AT is constructing to "transform" Auckland's waterfront for the 2021 America's Cup.
Piers 3A and 3B at the Downtown Ferry Terminal have already closed and Already in effect, from December 2, Piers 3A and 3B are closed, with the West Harbour and Rakino ferry services will move to Pier 4 West, meaning new queuing arrangements at Pier 4, and some minor changes to the West Harbour timetable.
From Monday, December 23, the terminal's temporary ramp will also be completely closed and ferry services will shift from Pier 3C/D to Pier 1C.
Once the 2021 America's Cup has finished by the end of March that year, AT also wants to extend the public space "tidal shelf" all the way towards Queens Wharf, removing Piers 1 and 2 of the ferry terminal.
Van Essen stresses, no money has been confirmed for the work yet.
