Harry's birth record, August 4 (?), 1874, at the Portage County Courthouse in Ravenna, Ohio reports his name as Henry Seth Sharp. Harry is the English diminutive for Henry, which, apparently, he used throughout his life, and by which he named one of his two sons, and by which a grandson is named. In all legal references to his name in Texas, Harry has been the operative name used, including on legal documents. Harry is my paternal grandfather, known to me as Papa Sharpe.
His Portage County birth record is a secondary source document. At some point in history, the courthouse had a fire in which many original records were destroyed, included Harry�s father, John Elsefer Sharp II. Later, county staff people assembled a birth record from other records in the county and nearby cities to represent best efforts at reconstructing a birth file. Papa Sharpe's gravestone in Georgetown, Texas cites a birthdate as August 26, 1874. That is the day "the family" always knew to celebrate for him. However, the reconstructed birth record, identified as FHL File Number 891394, his birthdate is August 4, 1874. My assumption is for the August 26 date as the accurate date, and the one we will use.
Harry apparently was named after his uncle, Henry Sharp, his father's brother. Seemingly, of the four children in the family of John Elsefer and Elizabeth Sharp, only these two brothers moved to Ohio, John Elsefer Sharp II and Henry Sharp.
The year that Harry was born, 1874, was the year that national leaders also were born: US President Herbert Hoover and English Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill. Sir Winston is the eleventh cousin, once removed, to U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, my half eighth cousin. Our ancestor in common is our seventh great grandmother, Alice Carpenter Southworth Bradford. FDR descends from her first husband, Edward Southworth, and my line descends through her second husband, Plymouth Colony Governor William Bradford. Verdi's "Requiem" was composed in 1874 in Milan, Italy, as was Brahms' "Hungarian Dances" composed. And the first zoo in America was established in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Harry was born the same year as Thomas J. Watson, Sr., (2/17/1874 - 6/19/1956), the American industrialist who built IBM (International Business Machines, Inc.). It is of interest that on Mr. Watson's 122nd birthday, World chess champion Garry Kasparov beat the IBM super computer ''Deep Blue,'' winning a six-game match in Philadelphia. It took a long time to get the best of Mr. Watson's company! But, do not despair. Two years later, Deep Blue came back to beat Mr. Kasparov! Of course, I like this story, as IBM was my employer in1957-58 and in 1962-69.
Harry was born the same year as was John D. Rockefeller Jr. (1/29/1874- 5/11/1960), the American philanthropist, who is the third great grandnephew of Johann Philip Rockefeller and Catherina Sharp, Harry's second great grand aunt and uncle.
Harry came to Texas about 1895 at age 21, settling in Georgetown, Williamson County, a town that had been established in 1848 and is the county seat. We don�t know why he came to Georgetown, except to note that his older brother (by 26 years), Alfred Lansing Sharpe, had come to Georgetown about 1880, four years prior to the birth of Papa Sharpe. That, no doubt, was why he came Georgetown.
Of political interest is that Alfred Lansing Sharpe became a rancher outside of El Paso who was elected to the Texas State House of Representatives in 1906. He was the first ever Texas House Representative elected on the Republican Party ticket.
Papa Papa Sharpe worked for the Railroad Express Company a long time. A part of his later occupational life was working in the Williamson County Tax Collector's office.
Five years after arriving, Harry married a local Williamson County girl from nearby Taylor, Mattie de Noailles Simons on January 7, 1901.They gave issue to two sons. Dwight Alfred Sharpe was born September 4, 1901, and Harry Simons �Dee Dee� Sharpe was born December 19, 1904.
He served in the U.S. military in the Spanish American War. It was the conflict that marked the emergence of the United States as a world power. This brief conflict between the United States and Spain took place between April and August 1898, over the issue of the liberation of Cuba. The war resulted in the United States winning possession of Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippine Islands. The treaty ending the Spanish-American War was declared in effect on April 11, 1899.
Harry was a Private in Company L of the Texas Infantry. He drew a pension as of November 21, 1927, Certificate #A-8-6-28, Company L of the Texas Infantry. In historic narratives about the Spanish American War, it is noted that then Col. Theodore Roosevelt, the future President of the United States, had a recruiting effort in San Antonio to garner soldiers for the war effort. Roosevelt's recruiting was in the Menger Hotel, that gracious old place of hospitality, across the street from the famed Alamo. The recruiting story is available at the hotel today, where we have visited several times. When my parents lived in San Antonio in their senior years (1968-1981), the restaurant in the Menger Hotel was the favorite place of luxury that my mother relished to attend when dining out for a special occasion. Though we do not have information about Harry's recruitment, we believe it most likely took place at this San Antonio event, as it is reasonably close to Georgetown where Harry lived. On June 13 - 16, 2018, Suzanne and I lodged at the Menger Hotel while in San Antonio as Delegates from Wise County at the Republican Texas State Convention.

My son, Todd Wittman Sharpe, has a telescope I've handed down to him, which we believe was used by Harry in that Spanish American War. Harry is Todd's great grandfather. The telescope had been handed down to me from my father, who is the son of its original owner, Harry. It�s about 12 inches long in its collapsed state, but about 28 inches when opened for distant viewing.
Harry was Lutheran, hearkening back to our original Sharp ancestor, Otto Scherp, and Mattie was from the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). They combined their Christian practice by joining the First Presbyterian Church in Georgetown in 1903. They joined upon statement of their faith in Jesus Christ. Both of their sons were baptized there and later made teenage professions of faith in that church.
Their two sons were my father, Dwight Alfred Sharpe, born September 4, 1901, and Harry Simons �Dee Dee� Sharpe, born December 19, 1904.
Though I don't know what his business associates called him (probably just "Harry"), he was always known in the context of the family and in my recollection as �Papa Sharpe.� In fact, I had such fond association with Papa Sharpe that it was chosen as the name by which I asked my grandchildren to address me.
The Census in 1910 for Georgetown, Williamson County, Texas sites the occupation of Harry as a Deputy Sheriff. The Census of 1920 describes his occupation as Deputy Tax Collector, Williamson County Courthouse. The 1930 Census says his occupation was that of Accountant at the City Collector's Office.
There was an out building behind their home at 1005 Main Street. It was called the Potato House. It was the place where Mattie (his wife) pursued her home industry of potato chip business during the 1930's. Those were the economic depression years of the U.S. economy and many people had to be creative to sustain their families. Long after needing to be used as a potato house, it became the retreat house for Papa Sharpe in his old age, particularly after he was a widower. Sort of his "office away" from the house, where he could be on his own. I remember making visits to that back house to the kindly old grandfather and hearing him tell his stories about the town and life in general. He would sit there amidst the swirl of the pipe tobacco smoke and spin his yarns.
The most fascinating place around the large back yard of Papa Sharpe was the unusually long garage. It could be entered from the back yard of the house on Main Street, but it stretched out behind the neighboring corner house and opened onto the side street. That was a shortcut through which my cousins, Harry and Johnny, and I would go to get to the public park a block or so away for fun and play. The garage was filled with treasures of old pieces of various kinds of machinery, tools and miscellaneous parts. It was a marvel in which to explore.
Papa Sharpe's younger son, Harry Simons (known as "Dee Dee"), and family lived with them in the old Sharpe home as one big community home. Ultimately, after Papa Sharpe died, the family relented to the urgings of the First Baptist Church next door on the north side to sell the home to the church for its expansion. Years later, that congregation relocated to the new suburbs, but a remnant of it remained, and the church name was changed to the Main Street Baptist Church, as it still is in 2018.
It is of interest to note that John D. Rockefeller, Sr., the world-known petroleum industrialist, donated the church bell to that First Baptist Church. The Sharpe's, I am confident, did not realize it while they were neighbors, but Rockefeller was the second great grandnephew, twice removed of Harry's great Uncle Johann Philip Rockefeller, husband of Carthrina Sharp.
The donation of the church bell also is told in the "Williamson County, Texas, Its History & Its People," by Mrs. Jean Shroyer and Mrs. Hazel Hood, Williamson Genealogical Society, Inc., Round Rock, Texas, 1985, page21.) We do not know the circumstances which brought Rockefeller to know about the need and to donate a bell to the First Baptist Church of Georgetown. My visit in 2005 to the Main Street Baptist Church offices resulted in my being told that a long-time member�s recollection simply was that another member took it upon his or herself to write a letter of request to Mr. Rockefeller for the bell. Must have been a well worded letter!
Dee Dee served in World War II in the U. S. Navy. One of my favorite family photographs is one taken by Dee Dee of all the family member bidding farewell to him as he left home to join the war effort. I am the youngest one in the photo. This is about 1942.
The church's initial use of the old Sharpe home was for its children's ministries. Later, new buildings replaced the old Sharpe home.
Harry died in 1951, the year the 22nd amendment to the U. S. Constitution was passed, limiting the service in the office of President to two terms. It was the year J. D. Salinger published "The Catcher in the Rye," and the "Caine Mutiny" by Herman Wouk earned a Pulitzer Prize.
Source: "The Timetables of History" 3rd Revised Edition, Bernard. Grun, Simon & Schuster, New York 1991, page 532.
Papa Sharpe is buried at the Odd Fellows Cemetery close by the rear of Southwestern University, alongside of his wife, Mattie de Noailes Simons Sharpe. Subsequently, both of his sons and their wives were buried in the same plot. His brother's wife, Mrs. Alfred L. (Lucy) Sharpe and their son, Alfred Lansing Sharpe, Jr., are buried in that plot. His grandson, Johnny, is also buried in that cemetery, but not in the original Sharpe plot, as it was full to capacity when Johnny passed away.
Papa Sharpe was an interesting, yet very dear man with whom my fairly few occasions to visit were cherished in my memories. My wish would have been to sit at his feet to hear more stories for longer times. He graduated to Heaven in Georgetown, Texas on March 20, 1951, just two days after my first public confession of faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior had been made at the Trinity Presbyterian Church in Houston, Texas.
There is a 92-page genealogical report of Papa Sharpe�s descendants covering five generations created by the marvelous presence of my grandparents. Praise be to God!


The Launch Lab is City's startup incubation space that supports students and graduates who want to set up their own business. It has recently moved into a new space on campus in the Franklin Building, and following a round of pitching auditions, a fresh intake of student startups have just moved in.
The new roster of student startups were unveiled at a housewarming party on Thursday 9th February.
At City, we are passionate about nurturing entrepreneurship, and this begins by launching startups on their journey. Bringing our incubation space on campus further links and energises our community of entrepreneurs.
The Launch Lab is a place for City students and alumni to work on their startups, with free desk space, meeting rooms and wifi. It gives them a chance to network and share ideas with other student entrepreneurs who are all in the same position as them. Having access to meeting rooms also allows them to hold professional meetings with investors or potential future partners.
The Launch Lab is not just about free desk space. Residents can attend monthly pitching events giving them the chance to practice and perfect their presentation skills. They have access to expert coaching, mentoring and training and can attend monthly networking events attended by venture capitalists, investors and other entrepreneurs.
City has a strong track record of supporting student startups. Last year alone, City's graduate companies created over 300 jobs and raised £4.5million in investment with annual turnover of nearly £7million.
Last week, City startup Cycl, appeared on BBC's Dragon's Den with their WingLights bicycle indicators. They received £45,000 of investment from Dragon Nick Jenkins.
Take a look at some of the other Launch Lab success stories.
This year there are more than 28 startups working from the Launch Lab. Residents include eco wet wipe brand Ace Twipes, Bear Pictures a boutique film maker, and Bombinate a European Menswear website.
The Launch Lab will welcome new residents every quarter. The next round of applications will open from April 2017.
Darren Munday and Henok Yemane both studied for an MBA at Cass Business School and are currently residents of the Launch Lab. They came up with the idea for their startup Reciprico as they wanted to combine something they were good at (insurance) while creating a sustainable income for charities.
Reciproco creates insurance communities that allow people to help the causes that matter to them, whilst insuring the things they value. After insuring your belongings, Reciprico give back at least 50 per cent of their commission to the causes you care about. The name comes from 'reciprocity', the practice of exchanging things with others for mutual benefit.
Henok added: "Having a location to work from as a startup, means it has been easier to take meetings, create a professional environment for the team to work in, and bounce ideas off of other startups working nearby."
Many of us are facing similar challenges, but the overwhelming enthusiasm and support makes it all part of the fun.

Canopy Growth Corporation (CGC, раніше Tweed Marijuana Inc.) — компанія з виробництва медичного канабісу, що базується в Смітс-Фоллс, Онтаріо. Це перший виробник канабісу регульований Федеральним законодавством, що публічно продається в Північній Америці, акції якого торгуються на фондовій біржі Торонто , як CGC. Так як марихуана є в даний час законною у Канаді тільки в медичних цілях, виробники, такі як КГП мають ліцензію Міністерства охорони здоров'я Канади на доступ до конопель для медичних цілей(ACMPR). мульти-ліцензії, географічно різноманітної марихуани виробників, компанія була описана як "один у світі — і перший канадський прем'єр — експортер марихуани" написали Financial Post  в грудні 2016 року.

Коноплі в Канаді стали законними для відпочинку після того, як Сенат підтверджує закон, прийнятий палатою громад,  влітку 2018 року. , що істотно підвищить попит на марихуану. До того часу, травичка не була лідеруючою галуззю з точки зору розміру. У січні 2018 року, Аврора конопель уклали угоду про покупку конкурента CanniMed напередодні очікуваного зростання ринку. Якщо угода буде завершена, нова компанія стане найбільшою у Канаді.

Збільшення обсягу продажів, прибутковість
База клієнтів Canopy зросла приблизно на 260 процентів та доходів (з $3 млн чистого прибутку) збільшилася приблизно на 180 відсотків у рік, який закінчується в грудні 2016 (і 2015). Це був перший рік, коли компанія отримала прибуток. Результати були б ще кращими, але у компанії були труднощі підтримки адекватних запасів в деяких затребуваних категорій, таких як середньо-високий рівень ТГК продуктів і масел. фінансові аналітики прогнозували, що "скорочення поставок" нещодавно досвідчені виробники, такі як Canopy зростання буде продовжуватися "в найближчому майбутньому" (приблизно до 2020 р. можливо) після легалізації марихуани в Канаді. Це, ймовірно, збільшить відпускну ціну продукції  і прибуток для виробників.

Раніше "Canopy Growth" працював зі збитками (наприклад, - $ 3,3 млн. Доходу у 2015 році), частково через те, що він використовував кошти для розширення виробництва та придбав конкурентів, готуючись до значного збільшення попиту на конопель на ринку рекреаційного використання на початку 2018 р. . Навіть після того, як були оприлюднені результати 2015 року, деякі аналітики залишалися позитивними щодо майбутньої вартості компанії. Наприклад, на початку грудня 2016 року обстеження Рейтер у чотирьох аналітиків ринку показало консенсусне значення покупки. До випуску результатів 2016 року компанія оцінила 1,6 мільярда доларів. 2 лютого 2017 року акції Canopy зросли більш ніж у три рази за попередні 12 місяців і склали 10,20 дол. США о 11:10 на фондовій біржі Торонто (тикер WEED).

Ціни на акції продовжували зростати, до більш ніж 12 доларів у наступні дні. 14 лютого, після закінчення звіту про закінчення року, ціна акцій Canopy Growth знизилася на сім відсотків, але навіть тоді вона становила 12,09 долара США..

Save time, avoid hassle, and become a more streamlined business with a tailored payroll solution with Bells Accountants in Surrey.
You've outgrown your old system and you need support from the right accountant in Surrey. You may have begun as an entrepreneur with only ambition and limited assets and as you've grown and taken on staff you've become increasingly embroiled in the complexities of payroll management. You've found the need for a helping pair of professional hands to assist you as your business scales up. You've also discovered just how complex your escalating payroll responsibilities are.
Even where you're the only employee under a limited company, with a tax-efficient system of a small salary and set dividends, you still likely find payroll a task that saps your time and energy – two assets that would be better spent on your business, not on operations.
Thankfully, you've come across a team of accountants in Surrey who appreciate the challenges that you face.
You may have a current system in place, but still find payroll a drain on resources, tying up your staff and creating a headache when it comes to meeting legislation requirements.
The introduction of Real Time Information (RTI), which increased reporting obligations from annually to every payroll period, has also increased the pressure.
Current system audit, ensuring your system is completely compliant and in line with legislation.
PAYE, National Insurance, Statutory Sick Pay, Statutory Maternity and Statutory Paternity Pay.
Insightful reports that guide your business in relation to staff costs.
Payslips as hard copies or via email.
P14s, P35s and P60s and all year-end forms.
P11Ds and P11D(b)s in respect of benefits in kind.
Payment administration, including new starters, leavers, P45s, P46s, holidays, bonuses, and commissions.
Remuneration packages for employees, shareholders, and directors.
Advice on incentive schemes, salary sacrifice schemes, and bonuses.
The set-up and management of BACS for employees who remain paid correctly and on time.
Stand-alone service for those who don't run payroll, such as P11D preparations and P35 year-end payroll returns.
Meet your accountant in Surrey – we do things a little differently.
We have the expertise to help you with all aspects of your payroll operations, and it doesn't have to cost the earth. In fact, payroll outsourcing is becoming an increasingly popular practice.
CIS returns – payroll support for those within the Construction Industry Scheme. It's a process that's difficult to understand, so we make sure everything is clear, work out the amount of rebate you are owed, and complete claim documentation.
Pension auto enrolment – with auto enrolment, all employers now have a responsibility to put qualifying staff members into a workplace pension scheme. We help give you clarity and take care of the finances for you.
Q: Do I have to have a payroll scheme?
A: If you are paying any individuals to assist you with your business and they meet HMRC's guidance for what is deemed 'employment' rather than 'self-employment', then you will need to administer a payroll scheme to ensure they are being taxed appropriately. If you fail to do this you could be held responsible for the tax and national insurance that you should have deducted from them and passed over to HMRC. We can advise you on whether you require a payroll scheme, and if you do, run it for you in full, providing payslips for your staff, and even making the BACS payments into their accounts on pay day. If you are a one-man band limited company you may still benefit from setting up a payroll scheme to take advantage of the tax-free personal allowance you can pay yourself. We can look at your individual circumstances and advise on the best course of action.
Q: If I need someone to work for me are there any alternative ways to paying them other than using the PAYE system?
A: You may be eligible to pay some of your team on a self-employed basis which means they will be responsible for their own tax and national insurance payments. We can help you decide if anyone on your team meets the criteria and ensure that you fulfil your responsibilities as a business owner.
HOW DO WE HELP YOU WITH PAYROLL?

In the realm of internet business ventures, it's very simple to get sidetracked and get off track of the ultimate professional goals, particularly if you are working at home. Using the growth of Facebook, Twitter, Skype along with other social networking, the possibilities for distractions and interruptions are growing increasingly more every single day. Listed here are a couple of tips that may help with raising your online business productivity.
Keep the workspace free from clutter, as well as your mind follows. Attempt to only handle one sheet of paper or document once. Get it, handle the given task, then file or Dispose of it. This protects time, keeps you organized, and helps to ensure that there is nothing forgotten.
There's grounds that top school teachers do not let mobile phones at school. Students cannot give consideration if they're constantly texting or emailing their buddies, nor are you able to. Turn the tv off. Place the mobile phone within the desk drawer. Switch off your Skype. And start working.
Social Networking is certainly a really valuable commodity, and could be of tremendous help to your online business productivity. But put aside a block of your time every day to make use of these types of services, instead of checking your Facebook every 3 minutes, or tweeting every 30 minutes. Know your audience, and communicate only at most opportune occasions to trap them using these kinds of marketing strategies.
Nobody wants to sit down lower in their desk on the Monday morning by having an action item in your "list" that states 'Write 10,000 word eBook on Home Based Business Possibilities.' Yuck! However, you can slice the job into chucks of 1500 words, or break it lower into smaller sized items of a few chapters at any given time. This process will help you build momentum inside your day, and to help you feel a feeling of accomplishment quickly.
For those who have employees, you are aware how important it's to ensure that they're focused. You anticipate these to meet deadlines, and individuals deadlines are often associated with your everyday schedule too.

SAAD Abdulrahman scored a match-high of 23 points as Al Gharafa thrashed Al Khor 106-47 in the Qatar Cup at the Al Rayyan Indoor Hall last week.
Michael Taylor and Sammy Monroe netted 21 each in a relatively easy match as Kousay Hatem's men prepared themselves to take on Jaish in the knockout competition.
"We didn't want to take any match easy. Our players had a great game as we can't afford to be casual," Hatem told Doha Stadium Plus.
Gharafa, who finished second in the league recently, raced to a 30-13 lead after the first quarter and never looked back. Gary Layton scored 21 for Khor, with no other player getting into double digits.
Holders Al Rayyan and newly-crowned league champions El Jaish have been given a bye. Last season's runners-up Gharafa will meet Jaish on Wednesday in what promises to be a cracker of a match.
In another fixture, Al Wakrah beat Al Shamal 98-91. Thomas Blair top-scored for Wakrah with 37 points, 12 of which coming from three-pointers, while Ayeni Olatokunbo netted 32.
For Shamal, Mohamed Harat scored 36 while Saleh Ali and Nikola Vasojevic chipped in with 21 and 17 respectively.
Rayyan, who finished fourth in the league, will hope to do well against Wakrah.
"They (Wakrah) are a fighting squad, but we'll put up our best show," said Rayyan coach Hassan Amin.
Rayyan were impressive last season when they won the league and Qatar Cup, but their performance nosedived this time after Greek coach Koufos Stergios and the club parted ways.
Amin is well aware of the challenge.
"We hope to live up to the expectations of our fans. Let's hope for the best," he added.

Hello lovely readers and followers! Welcome back to Day 6 of the 30 Day Blog Challenge.
Today's Topic: If You Could Have Any Job in The World, What Would it Be?
I really want my dream job to become a reality, as I believe it is my calling. First off, I want to be a writer. I'm already on my way with running this blog and working on my first novel. I also want to start writing freelance articles for websites. Most of all, I want to keep growing in my writing and glorifying God. I want my blog to lead people to Jesus and strengthen the faith of young women.
I also want to be a Christian counselor. My goal is to get a Master's of Social Work, so I can have my own practice. I love listening to others and helping people. I know just how valuable good therapists are, and I want to show people God's love and grace. I think I want to work with young adults and adolescents, as I am already a youth leader at church and really love it. I also have a passion for gerontology though, so I am not completely sure.
Most importantly, I know that these plans are not set in stone. God has a way of shaking things up and leading us to unexpected places, but I know that He is faithful. I am excited to see what He has planned for my life–especially when it comes to writing!
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11 NIV).
Wow! Our dream jobs are so alike! I pray God helps us fulfill His will for us!
Yes, me too M! I'm believing for great things for you this year.
I pray that God will bless your gifts and talents to bring honor and glory to HIM! Look for where the Lord is working (He is always working) and then join Him in it.
Thanks Beckie! I will 😊 I pray that God will use and bless you as well.

The accessibility, distribution and utilization of emergency health care services have a great impact on the effectiveness, efficiency and equity of health service delivery. The impact of these factors is heightened by the fact that ambulance resources, which are an important component of emergency health care, are often insufficient, resulting in performances below those required to respond reliably to emergency calls from demand areas. Measures of realized geographic accessibility of ambulances to call locations are of considerable importance in planning the deployment of this service as they allow planners to account for response time variations, often caused when ambulances are not available at the station closest to a call. However, the current body of related research does not adequately address important spatio-temporal analytical issues that are the result of this variation in response performance, for assessing realized geographic accessibility. This thesis examines these analytical deficiencies in order to assist emergency health service planners and decision-makers improve accessibility and response performance to target populations. Towards this end, it examines issues related to assessing accessibility for emergency health-care service delivery. It also examines the current use of Geographic Information System (GIS) technology to improve service delivery. An analytic model and GIS design framework is developed in order to provide a conceptual framework for assessing realized geographic accessibility. Further, it develops statistical and geographical modeling methods and outputs into a GIS-based application, to operationalize the analytical model and GIS design framework. In this context, a design methodology is proposed to develop a user-centred, task-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) to facilitate the navigation of a user through the components of the application in a decision support environment. The research methodology is applied to evaluate the usefulness of the application and its approach with a case study using empirical data from the Ontario Ministry of Health.

Mason Baggot & Garton specialise in Conveyancing, Criminal and Family Law and operate from three offices across North Lincolnshire.
Along with many firms in similar circumstances, Mason Baggott & Garton came to realise that their computer system, which they had been using for a number of years, was actually restricting their growth in what was an increasingly competitive world.
In their quest to improve the firm's internal efficiency whilst also improving the standard of client service, they decided that their next choice of software supplier would have to offer solutions that were state-of-the-art, something their existing supplier had failed to do. They wanted to invest with a company that was committed to developing its software in line with modern legal thinking and the very latest technology.
Liz Turner the firm's Practice Manager commented, "After a long search we chose Linetime and their Liberate system which has proven to provide us with many operational benefits. One of the software features that has resulted in us obtaining these benefits is the excellent financial reporting of the Practice management system. This one feature has made it much easier for us to cost individual jobs and hence ensure maximum profitability.
"The installation of the desktop email facility was another boon to the firm's day to day operation. Not only did it reduce the mountain of internal paperwork, but as we operate over three offices it reduced the travelling time for partners involved in staff supervision, improving efficiency and reducing costs. Another significant benefit was the fact that the fee earners now require less secretarial support and all aspects of compliance and conflict checking are automatically taken care of within the system.

At least four Katyusha missiles were fired from Lebanon overnight Monday. No physical injuries. IDF returned fire.
At least four Katyusha missiles were fired from Lebanon into northern Israel overnight Monday.
Kol Yisrael Radio reported that the missiles exploded in two communities near the border with Lebanon. There were no reports of physical injuries but damage was caused to a chicken coop in one of the communities.
The statement said that the IDF's Northern Command is conducting an ongoing assessment in light of the events.
Channel 2 News reported that residents from the communities of Ma'alot and Kfar V'radim reported hearing explosions in the area.
According to the report, a preliminary investigation indicated that the explosions came from the Lebanese side of the border.
Though the border with Lebanon has generally been quiet in recent years, in January of 2009 three missiles were fired from Lebanon and exploded near Kiryat Shmona. No injuries were reported.
In October of 2009, terrorists in southern Lebanon fired a Katyusha on the Upper Galilee. No one was wounded and no damage was reported. The IDF retaliated with half a dozen rounds of artillery fire.
In August, a Lebanese army soldier opened fire on Israeli soldiers manning the northern border. It was the first incident at the border in a year.


In business since 2006 building handmade guitar and bass effects, musician, electronic freak and major gear head, Matthew Holl started Wren and Cuff as a part time hobby. As word spread, his business grew and a one man obsession evolved into a full time job.
Wren and Cuff's reputation for high quality effects with exceptional tone, that could truly take a beating, further solidified the small company as stand outs in a sea of boutique competitors.
It didn't hurt that the pedals were great looking, free of redundant bells and whistles, and that Wren and Cuff's reputation for exceptional service with focused attention to customer inquiries, questions and feedback, was unsurpassed.
In 2007, Matthew made Wren and Cuff his full time job, moved operations and hired employees to keep up with the growing demand. It wasn't long until professionals from multiple genres welcomed Wren and Cuff pedals as part of their live and studio arsenals. Some of these notables include; J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr, Brian Ray of the Paul McCartney band, Troy Sanders of Mastodon, and many others.
When not running Wren and Cuff, Matt can be found making music, doing jiu-jitsu, and spending time with his wife, two children, and two dogs.

Q: Creating Dynamic LINQ Queries using Expression Trees I am having trouble being able to replicate multiple .Wheres in my linq query using Expression Trees, I need this query to be dynamic since its a search feature.The database I will be querying eventually will get large so i need to be efficient and cant filter client side. I am at least trying to start by filtering by 3 of these columns. Below I added three of the ids im trying to filter by. I have read alot into expression trees but could use someones help to actually apply them to what im doing because they are confusing me.
    public int? heightId { get; set; }
    public int? ageId { get; set; }
    public int? genderId { get; set; }

A: It is not dynamic, because you know the columns in advance. You don't need to use expression trees as well. You can just apply the filters conditionally:
public Class[] FindByFilter(int limit, int? heightId = null, int? ageId = null, int? genderId = null)
{
    var classes = databaseContext.Set<Class>();

    if (heightId.HasValue)
        classes = classes.Where(c => c.HeightId == heightId.Value);

    if (ageId.HasValue)
        classes = classes.Where(c => c.AgeId == ageId.Value);

    if (heightId.HasValue)
        classes = classes.Where(c => c.GenderId == genderId.Value);

    return classes.Take(limit).ToArray();
}

So, now FindByFilter(10, 1, null, 2) or equivalent FindByFilter(10, heightId: 1, genderId: 2) will return TOP 10 rows with height 1, gender 2, but any age.

A: So you have a class (or several classes) with a limited number of properties, probably less than a 100.
Somewhere in your code, this might be in the user interface, but it can also be after reading an internet page, a file, or fetching information from a database, somewhere in your code you'll have some input from which you can decide which Where must be executed.
So somewhere in you code, you have a function, that takes some input an returns the Expression of your where:
Expression<Func<MyTable, bool>> CreateExpression(MyInput input) {...}

The problem is, that we don't know how you get the input. What we do know, is that there is only a limited (less than the earlier mentioned 100) possible outputs. If there are erroneous inputs, than the procedure should either correct this into a best guess output, or refuse to produce the output.
Anyway, this long story is to tell you, that the code that should create expression is relatively limited. It is way better understandable, testable, maintainable if you would not make it dynamic, but create a non-dynamic function, even if you have a big switch statement with 50 cases.
For example: suppose the operator has to type the name and the value of the property that he wants to filter on. He might make typing errors in which case you warn the operator about the typing error
Expression<Func<MyTable, bool>> CreateExpression(string input, int value)
{
     // TODO: make the procedure case insensitive
    switch (input)
    {
        case "HeightId":
             return myItem => myItem.HeightId == value;
        case "AgeId":
             return myItem => myItem.AgeId == value;
        ...
        default:
            WarnUserIncorrectInput(...)
            return null;
    }
}

How many cases do you expect? Even if there are 20, this code would be much easier to understand, and to check for erroneous input than if you would use some magic interpretation to create your expression. After all: this magic interpretation should also check for erroneous input.
If in future a property is to be added or removed, then it would be fairly easy to maintain this function.
Complicated Expressions
It could be that you want the operator to combine expressions using some defined language, something like:
"HeightId == 4 AND AgeId == 10 OR ..."

If you would opt for such kind of inputs, you make your live very difficult. You would almost have to build some kind of compiler for this, checking all kinds of erroneous input. You'll have to detect when the operator means a property, and when he means an operation, or comparer. Not easy to do.
If you really want the possibility to combine expressions, consider using user interface elements like combo boxes, where users have to select a property, and type the correct value type.
Because the number of properties is limited, you can use a procedure like above to create an expression. The combination is done like below:
ExpressionFunc<TSource, bool>> CreateAnd<TSource>(
    Expression<Func<TSource, bool>> X,
    Expression<Func<TSource, bool>> Y)
{
     return (sourceElement) => X(sourceElement) && Y(sourceElement);
}

Again: even if you want to let the operator combine statements, if you use combo-boxes or similar, you can't get incorrect inputs, and the number of combinations is also fairly limited.
Conclusion
Although it is possible to create an expression from a string input, it would mean you'd have to create a compiler-like thing that checks for erroneous inputs. This would not be easy to understand, test, maintain.
As the number of requested Where statements is fairly limited, probably less than 100, consider using a function with a big switch-case

Whether you're looking for a memorable way to celebrate Halloween or provide something different to your corporate event, our Halloween themed parties will bring the un-dead to life in the way that you will have never experienced before.
Fire Artistes, Stilt Walkers, Juggling Mummies and Zombies are amongst the entertainers to greet your guests.
Take your pick from a wide range of entertainers in Halloween costumes mingling with guests.
Halloween Décor throughout the venue.
Live stage show including stunning routines from 'Thriller' and 'Monster Mash'.
DJ to keep the dance floor busy beyond the witching hour.
As your guests arrive, they are greeted by Fire Artistes who are performing outside the front doors of the venue in full Halloween costumes. Upon entry to the event, guests will experience Halloween Stilt Walkers who meet and greet guests. Guests will then be guided through to the main room, where they will see the Juggling Mummy and Zombies around the room, serving drinks.
Now that we have set the main scene, guests can now avail themselves of the food, drink and entertainment. The food and drink areas will be wrapped, firstly in white sheets (as though the furniture was under wraps for the Winter).
Enter the twilight zone for a blood-curdling night of horror. During your meal or at the drinks reception, a Magician will entertain with close-up magic and perform such stunts as slicing through his arm with a kitchen knife.
As the meal comes to an end, it's time for the cabaret part of the evening as the Ghouls and Zombies rouse themselves, and take to the stage to perform their amazing Halloween Dance Show. This show comes complete with soundtracks and dance routines to such hits as Michael Jackson's Thriller and Monster Mash.
In full costume, they take the stage by storm, leaving you and your guests just waiting to hit the dance floor. If permitted, the dance show can incorporate our spectacular angle grinding performer, whose act involves shooting sparks 20 foot in the air from various parts of her body!
If required, we can also incorporate a hard-hitting and theatrical show, with film-type effects for the ultimate horror themed illusion act.
The night is rounded off with dancing to the sounds of a disco.

Union Berlin to compete in first Baltic Sea Cup
Fresh challenge for youths:
Fri, 17. August 2018
1. FC Union Berlin will take part in the first Baltic Sea Cup, a tournament for players under the age of 21 with three over-aged players allowed to compete.
Union will take on Danish giants FC Copenhagen on August 28 (15:00) away from home, with Aalborg AK scheduled for September 18 at 12:00 at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei. The tournament continues with Halmstads BK at home on October 3 at 12:00 with the next away clash against Odense BK in November.
Our home games against Aalborg and Halmstads will be held at the Alte Försterei and admission is free of charge. Pogon Szczecin and Hertha BSC will compete in the Baltic Sea Cup but won't play Union Berlin.
The Union squad will be made up of players from the U19 and U21 age groups and will feature a couple of over-aged professionals from the first-team. Sebastian Bönig, the club's assistant coach, is responsible for bridging the connection between the youth academy and the first-team squad. Bönig's number two is U19 head coach Willi Weiße.
"Bounce games are a way to get an assessment of the players and give us some game time. Another attractive option is such a competition like this, which is also international in scope. We are very interested in introducing young players to the first team and we are convinced the Baltic Sea Cup is a good instrument for this," said Oliver Ruhnert, director for professional football at 1. FC Union Berlin.
"Competitive tests are an important part of the transition from youth football to men's football, so we are very happy that this came about. For the transition between youth teams to the first team, this is a great opportunity, which we'll happily get involved with," added Lutz Munack, director for youth and amateur football.

Letter: Democrats should quit drinking the Clinton/Obama Kool-Aid
News | August 13, 2013
Regarding Felicia Muftic's recent column labeling Edward Snowden as a "man without a country", my counter argument would be from George Orwell: "In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." I have noticed Felicia's columns are often filled with pro-left drivel that usually supports the status quo and the Obama White House. Unfortunately, it appears she cannot distinguish herself from the false left-right paradigm of the crimes that have been committed by this current administration and the last three before Obama. When the acting president carries out crimes in spying on the American people with the apparatus set up by the 2001 September 11 attack, we have indeed traded our freedoms for ghosts and deserve neither. The Fourth Amendment guarantees our rights to not have the NSA record our phone and computer conversations, and President Obama surely does not seem to understand this. Traitors to our Constitution include current Republicans such as John McCain and John Boehner, both should be recalled out of office ASAP!
Edward Snowden is a hero for standing up to the Police State similar to the Gestapo being erected here in America today — even former Democrat and president Jimmy Carter has come out and said that "democracy is now dead in America." God bless Jimmy for speaking the truth and pray that he does not have to move to Russia for fear of ending up dead like Rolling Stone magazine editor Michael Hastings. Never in American history has dissent proved so deadly, and unpopular speech has brought both Hastings and newsman Andrew Breibart to an early grave in the last year. Concerning Edward Snowden, Jesus said it best himself in the New Testament: "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country." Does Felicia want to join the idiot Republican congresswoman Michele Bachman and call for the crucifixion of Edward Snowden as well? The days of Democrats drinking the Clinton/Obama Kool-Aid should be over, as there is not a shred of difference between this current usurper at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and the last president.

Osteoarthritis, or wear and tear arthritis, is the most common form of arthritis. Millions of people worldwide suffer from osteoarthritis when the protective cartilage on the ends of their bones wears down over time. Osteoarthritis can happen to any joint in your body but most commonly affects your knees, hips, spine and hands. Symptoms include pain during movement, tenderness when you apply pressure to the joint, stiffness especially when you wake up in the morning or if you sit or lie down too long, loss of flexibility, grating sensation and bone spurs.
At YAPCHANKOR, we have helped many osteoarthritis sufferers achieve real long term recovery without the use of steroid injections or invasive surgery. We know very well that pain from an arthritic joint can cause you to lose sleep, to not walk or move normally, or even to affect your ability to earn a living. We also know that you may have tried other treatments that did not work and are feeling frustrated that the pain and stiffness has not gone away.
During your first visit to us for your osteoarthritis treatment, our physiotherapist will perform a physical exam, to check for pain, swelling and to measure your joint's active and passive range of motion. We will also ask you to rate your pain on a scale of zero to 10 and discuss how well you're functioning with your pain. We focus on real results for our patient, so we make a strong effort to measure your progress throughout our treatment, sometimes with photos and videos too.
Our osteoarthritis treatment for your hip, knee, back, shoulder or hand, is a unique and effective treatment that can only be found at YAPCHANKOR. This is because while many places offer physiotherapy for osteoarthritis (OA) patients, they do not combine it with our proven Chinese medicine patches. We will apply our patches on your affected joints, and they work by reducing inflammation and pain, and facilitate healing. Our physiotherapists will also use various techniques such as heat, TENs (electrical stimulation), and ultrasound to relax your joint and the muscles and soft tissues around it. Massage will be used when appropriate. After each session, we will apply our medicine patches, which you need to wear for at least 12 hours.
When your pain and inflammation reduces, our physiotherapists will teach you a range of motion exercises to increase the mobility of your affected joint. We will also teach you how to strengthen the surrounding muscles and soft tissues like ligaments and tendons to support the arthritic joint. With OA, it is very important that you regularly perform these exercises to maintain and improve the recovery you see from our treatment.
Osteoarthritis is a chronic condition that can happen when our bodies age. Even though we believe our treatment provides faster results than anything else out there, sometimes it may not be fast enough if you are the one suffering with the pain. However, our patients report seeing progress around 7 to 10 sessions or around a week of treatment. How quickly you recover will depend on various factors, such as the initial severity of your osteoarthritis, how old or chronic the condition is, whether you are diligent with the exercises we recommend and how often you come back for treatment.

Q: Isomorphism of affine varieties Let $X\subseteq\mathbb{C}^n$ and $Y\subseteq\mathbb{C}^m$ be two complex affine varieties (zero sets of systems of polynomials). Suppose that
$$f:X\to Y$$
is a polynomial map, or more precisely, it is given explicitly by
$$f(x)=(f_1(x),\ldots,f_m(x)),$$
where $f_i:\mathbb{C}^n\to\mathbb{C}$ are polynomials in $n$-variables.

Question: If $f$ is a bijection, is it necessarily an isomorphism of complex affine varieties?

A: The answer is no. A standard counter example is the following: let $X = \mathbb{C}$ and $Y = V(y^2-x^3) \subset \mathbb{C}^2.$ Then the map $f : X \rightarrow Y$ given by $t \mapsto (t^2,t^3)$ is a bijection, but not an isomorphism.
One way to see that it couldn't be an isomorphism is to note that $X$ is smooth while $(0,0)$ is a singular point of $Y$.

Agia Efimia is a charming little harbour with lovely taverns, cafés, and shops, looking across the sea to the neighbouring island of Ithaca. The sailing boats, which moor here in the summer, add maritime and Mediterranean flair to the village.
Surrounding Agia Efimia there are numerous little white pebble coves with crystal clear water, ideal for snorkelling. For those interested there is a professional diving school based in the village, and also small motorboats and catamarans available for hire. It is strongly recommended to rent a motorboat and visit the idyllic, isolated coves between Agia Efimia and Fiskardo, which are accessible only by boat. Furthermore, you can take a ferry and visit the beautiful island of Ithaca for a day.
In the summer, the village awakes and offers its guests a warm hospitality and authentic Greek life. The small taverns open, lively discussions resume in the "Kafenios", the promenade becomes coloured, and everybody enjoys the most beautiful days of the year in a harmonious and authentically Greek atmosphere.
Numerous little beaches, taverns, cafés, bars, shopping facilities, pharmacy, car rental, motorbike rental, motorboat rental, diving school, cash station (EC), taxi, bus station, daily cruises to Ithaca and the neighbour islands.
Lyra Villas Kefalonia are just 10 min easy drive from Agia Efimia.

American Nightmare Directed By Don McBrearty, Starring Michael Ironside (1981/1983).
Haha, very funny Canada back in 83, how did you know even before Mike Judge that a reality show ape/ hemorrhoid faced clown would surround himself with a cabinet white supremacists, preach intolerance and dismantle the entire political system while everyone was too busy farting around on social media to notice. Actually that's complete bullshit, but you already knew that dear readers, this one is a Canuxploitation slasher that's number one selling point is that is has Alexandra Paul, the babe from Dragnet, Christine and Baywatch topless and acting super stoned and horny. She was also dating the director and this is her first role, but enough about her.
HACK, I swallowed a whole bag of Andy Capp Hot Fries while stoned
A rubber gloved john slices Tanya the hooker's throat, causing her brother to go searching for his prostitute sister. The Great White North just seems to have an over abundance of depraved half naked babes-- remember they shot Ilsa 3: Tigress of Siberia there and this one has all kinds of sleazy chicks. I learned a lot by reading Yum Yum of Houseofself-indulgence's review for this film. This was basically a time capsule of prime Toronto grime, when the streets were clogged with the legions of creeps on the level of "The Deuce" of the early 80s and 90s. Their grindhouse nostalgic domain was Yonge Street and The Zanzibar, which this movie preserves.
Everything about this one, so far, is like a zero budget ShowGirls. One stripper juggles naked in front of a poster for Connie Stevens Scorchy, another dresses like a cowgirl and they all worry about Tanya (Alexandra Paul's character).
obvious inspiration for Pink Floyd's double album A Nice Pair
Everyone is so fucking Canadian, why is it called American and not Canadian Nightmare? There's already a number of films with that catchy title, the most famous one to me being Buddy G's unedited cut of Combat Shock (which I ordered from Chas).
Michael Ironside shows up in basically the same outfit that he wore in Scanners, only its 3 years later. Ironside is never above showing up in trash, he was even in an episode of The Littlest Hobo, an 80's crime solving dog sitcom that was just mentioned on The Best Show as something to cheer us all up after the election. The murders are very similar to Maniac only the killer has no presence at all. The best part about this movie is that it's really sleazy and lots of skanks show off their assets.
One stripper played by Lenore Zann humps a pitchfork and she even carries it around off the clock as a weapon. Before this role Zann was in Visiting Hours, also with Ironside and Happy Birthday To Me.
Peter Scolari from Bosom Buddies starting at his night job
Lawrence Day, the guy who plays Eric has all the acting style of a mannequin or Keir Dullea and his delving into the seedy underworld is sort of like Hardcore but very inept. There's a really offensive gay character named Dolly (Larry Aubrey) who seems to know everyone and I felt kind of bad when he dies. Aubrey appeared in the My Pet Monster live action video cassette special and The Vindicator, he's got quite a nerdy resume.
for Furries only
Through out the duration of the film, lurking in the background are all these dudes in tacky thrift store suits with buttons that save Uni-Save, which is a plot point that becomes very crucial toward the grand finale. I'm pretty certain it's making a statement that Uni-Cef is corrupt but I could be wrong.
holy shit it's a California Raisin in a Moe Howard wig!
There's graffiti and thought balloons that say Pink Floyd on the walls during some scenes, this movie is really stupid but it's enjoyable in its lameness. For a Giallo, which it's been called, man how did I let that one slip by, it's still very accessible and succeeds in that area. There's even some surprise incest, which really came way out of left field. A lot of times I judge a film by the last 5 minutes, if I'm on the edge of my seat like I was during Lipstick (which I've got to review, it's an amazing film that Skunkape turned me onto a few years ago), then I know it's a must see. It gets really bizarre toward the finish line, I advise you to stick it out and if you're bored and give up, I think you'll regret missing the big climax.
MAX RENN WOULD WANT TO GET THIS ON CIVIC TV PRONTO AND ADD HARDCORE INSERTS.

Top 10 Edwin Yearwood Songs
July 14, 2015 stefanwalcottLeave a comment
Edwin Yearwood emerged to real popularity in the mid 1990s with his band Krosfyah. Since then, he has produced some of the biggest popular music hits in Barbados. He simply rocks, here is his Top 10.
10. Sak Pase
Done with co-lead singer Khiomal of Krosfyah, this duet uses "hello Haitian style" as its hook. It actually uses a blues form as well which is rather different (along with copious cowbell which is not very different). The Sak Pase dance was also huge and when this song is played in Barbados it is mandatory.
9. Obadele
Edwin Yearwood won the Pic-O-De-Crop competition which is primarily a calypso competition using this up-tempo soca number. It was also on his seminal album with Krosfyah, Ultimate Party/Pump Me Up, which was a massive seller for the genre. Due to its significance it gets a place here.
Krosfyah Massive
Krosfyah Massive is from the same period as Obadele and for me it marked the first time I heard the group doing their own material. This turned out to be Edwin's first hit of many.
Nah Missing Me
Edwin Yearwood is one of the major innovators of the sub-genre Ragga/Groovy/Sweet soca. This song was released years after the genre came into popular existence and typifies Edwin's style with call and response and short motifs.
Wet Me
This song was one which came after Pump Me Up in the early days of Ragga/Groovy/Sweet soca. It is still popular throughout the region despite being nearly 20 years old.
5. Down the Road
Edwin Yearwood won the Barbadian Party Monarch competition with this song. This one is the other spectrum of his material and is a typical Brancker fast soca of the late 1990's. Once again it typifies his strong call and repsonse style chorus and verse.
4. In the Middle of the Road
The Road March song is the most popular song played by bands at the climax of Carnival. Edwin won several in the mid-noughties all speaking about roads. This song shows a departure from his late 1990s work as he basically sings over a rhythm track.
3. Sweatin
This is another Ragga/Groovy/Sweet soca. Call and response is heavily used again with the trademark Brancker style.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2twusbdPG8
2. Yardie
Yardie was released for the 1990s Congaline festival. This song is one of the biggest nostalgia party songs for the over 30s and it still rocks a fete to this day. It also spawned a Yardie Graduate 10 years later which though cool, could not make this list.
1. Pump Me Up
This song is possibly Edwin's biggest. It spawned a new vocal approach to singing soca and ushered in the Ragga/Groovy/Sweet soca genre.
A massive song!

Q: InjectionToken: Nest can't resolve dependencies I have a CheckModule which accepts configuration in the forRoot method using a constant CHECK_OPTIONS:
@Module({})
export class CheckModule {
  static forRoot(options?: CheckOptions): DynamicModule {
    return {
      module: CheckModule,
      providers: [
        {
          provide: CHECK_OPTIONS,
          useValue: options,
        },
        CheckService,
      ],
      exports: [CheckService],
    };
  }
}

My CheckService uses the options:

@Injectable()
export class CheckService {
  ...

  constructor(@Inject(CHECK_OPTIONS) options: CheckOptions) {}

  ...

Whenever I debug the application, everything is working fine. But, once I build for production and serve it on Heroku I get an error.
# Production build
nx build $PROJECT_NAME --prod

# Serving the app
node dist/apps/worker/main.js

I get an error:
ERROR [ExceptionHandler] Nest can't resolve dependencies of the CheckService (?). Please make sure that the argument CHECK_OPTIONS at index [0] is available in the CheckModule context.
Am I missing something here? I'm kind of clueless...

A: Seems like your module needs to be global.
Try adding @Global() decorator before @Module({}).

A: In my app.module I imported the CheckModule as:
imports: [
  CheckModule.forRoot(),
  ...
]

This method had an optional parameter for CheckOptions:
forRoot(options?: CheckOptions) { ... }
However my CheckService expects a CHECK_OPTIONS which is not optional. This is what caused the error. Correctly marking this InjectionToken as @Optional() resolved this issue.
So, I've changed the code from:
  constructor(@Inject(CHECK_OPTIONS) options?: CheckOptions) {}

To:
  constructor(@Optional() @Inject(CHECK_OPTIONS) options?: CheckOptions) {}
              ^^^^^^^^^^^

See https://docs.nestjs.com/providers#optional-providers for more information about the @Optional() decorator.

A: I had the same issue, fixed it by moving adding all the providers to exports of the dynamic module also. in you case add:
exports: [ {
provide: CHECK_OPTIONS,
useValue: options,
},
CheckService]


Wastes are sources of GHGs, not only by the relation to production including transportation (pre- and post-consumer use), but also because of methane gas when disposed of in landfills. Methane recovery systems can be explored for use in municipal landfills, and programs which support composting, organics and blue/grey bin recycling, as well as personal and corporate waste minimization can reduce GHG emissions. Changes in what and how we buy, and a small shift in behaviour patterns can help in climate change mitigation.

Saint Pepsi – Fiona Coyne/Fall Harder
December 1, 2014 Caleb Minnick
Carpark Records
https://soundcloud.com/saintpepsi
Saint Pepsi-real name Ryan DeRobertis-has made a name for himself the last few years in the "Vaporwave" music scene. What is "Vaporwave" you ask? Remember the sound effects from Windows 98? The music they play when you get put on hold calling your bank? Sega Genesis? Well, some internet wizards have somehow thrown all this stuff in a blender and made some really wicked music. Seminal "Vapor" albums include Macintosh Plus' "Floral Shoppe" and Chuck Person's "Eccojams Vol. 1". The artwork for this genre is a surreal take on corporate media from the 80s/90s. There is also an element of anti-capitalism inherent in the genre. By using media from capitalism's trash can, Vaporwave is a sort of musical "freeganism" that challenges the consumerist definition of art.
DeRobertis is known as one of the most accessible Vapor artists. His 2013 album, Hit Vibes, is often seen as a great entry point into the genre. He has his detractors as well, with critics labling him the "Skrillex of Vaporwave" for his mainstream sound. With his 2014 single, Fiona Coyne/Fall Harder, DeRobertis has moved almost totally away from the calssic "vapor" sound and moved into a more "chillwave" format, closer to labelmate Toro Y Moi. He absolutely kills with these new tracks, and I for one think it is better than anything Toro has put out, and I'd even go so far as to say this single is better than anything Daft Punk has put out since Discovery (yeah, I said it!).
Fiona Coyne is the first single, which is apparently named after a character on some show called DeGrassi. It has really nice Nile Rodgers-esque guitar, while incorporating electronic sequencing and a sun-soaked funky baseline. It was definitely the "Song of the Summer". The second track-Fall Harder-is very similar, with a more electronic-based sound. The disco guitars are still there, with some synths thrown in for good measure. The drumming is definitely electronic, giving even more of a Daft Punk vibe. Both tracks feature DeRobertis' on vocals, in contrast to his earlier sample-based recoding. I love his singing style, which is skilled but chill. He hits the notes but remains grounded, not giving off that faux "emotional" vibe we are forced to suffer though these days thanks to Jason Mraz.
I give it 10/10!

British rapper Stormzy, real name Michael Omari Owuo Jr, performs on the Pyramid Stage on the third day of the Glastonbury Festival of Music and Performing Arts on Worthy Farm near the village of Pilton in Somerset, South West England, on 28 June 2019.

When Stormzy 'pulls up to your yard' for England win afterparty [watch]
British rapper Stormzy celebrated England's historic victory over Germany at the Euro 2020 soccer championships by staging a house party at a fan's home.
by Cover Media
England won 2-0 against their longtime sporting rivals in the second round of the tournament on Tuesday 29 June, the first time they had beaten the German team in a major tournament knockout game since the 1966 World Cup Final.
Shut Up rapper Stormzy was among many fans who watched the game, taking it in at Boxpark Croydon…and agreed to attend a house party with a group of fans as long as England were victorious.
Stormzy joins random fan's afterparty
Video posted on social media showed Stormzy, real name Michael Ebenazer Kwadjo Omari Owuo, Jr., was as good as his word, as he was filmed dancing outside his new friends' house and joining a singalong of England soccer anthem Three Lions.

— SB.TV (@SBTVonline) June 30, 2021
"Stormz promised some random guy if England win we gotta go to his house for the afterparty and now we're here drinking beer," Flipz, the president of the rapper's Merky record label captioned a video of the party that was widely shared on Twitter.
Other videos showed the star celebrating the fulltime whistle at Boxpark Croydon by standing up and cheering while wearing an England shirt with the name of Aston Villa and England star Jack Grealish on the back.
Grealish started the match on the substitutes' bench but crossed the ball for England captain Harry Kane to score the clinching goal.
Celebrity England fans spotted at match
A number of other celebrity England fans were similarly delighted with the result, with Liam Gallagher tweeting, "It's coming home," a reference to the lyrics to Three Lions.
Ed Sheeran was spotted sitting alongside former England captain David Beckham in the crowd at Wembley Stadium, while Prince William also attended the game in his capacity as the President of the Football Association.

The Funeral Singers
Funeral Music Ideas
Catholic funeral masses: why we don't sing the responses
At Singers for Funerals, we often sing for Catholic funerals, including both simple and full mass services. Indeed, soprano Toni is the soloist of choice for several Catholic churches in Hampshire, and in particular the Southampton/Portsmouth areas.
Toni has an extensive knowledge of Catholic hymns including modern favourites such as "On Eagle's Wings", "This is my body" and "I will be with you" and has a deep appreciation and understanding of the elements of the mass.
However, the one thing she and the rest of us here don't do is sing the responses, for one simple reason; they are never the same from one church to the next.
Every single church uses a different set, and changes them regularly according to the Church calendar. To learn every set of responses would take us literally months, and to be honest, we just haven't the time nor the access to the sheet music.
So, instead, we let the priest and congregation lead on these, and if we do know them, we will of course join in.
Sometimes these take us by surprise; mezzo Kirsty was singing at a RC funeral in Woking, which included as a response the Song of Farewell "May the choirs of angels". Toni had been learning it in the office previously to sing as a solo, and it had obviously sunk into Kirsty's brain too, so she was able to join in almost without realising it!
If you require a soloist for any style of Catholic funeral service, either in church or at a crematorium, do call us. We can discuss suitable funeral music including solos and hymns, and add in your choices and requests. Do bear in mind that your funeral priest will need to approve all music choices in advance, so do ensure you allow time for this to happen.

syani
This article is about syani. If you ever wanted to find out more about dating muslims from around the world, this is for you. Read more of syani: vivastreet pakistani The History of Syani.
How do we know the people of syani are muslim?
Syani has a population of over 50,000 people. If they were all muslim, there would be over a million muslim people in syani. This is the largest Muslim population in the world. It is not possible to determine how many people are from syani because no reliable statistics exist. All we can say is that there is a large, predominantly Muslim population in syani. We have information about the muslims marriage population from the United States Census Bureau and other countries. In addition to their own people, there are some people who are of other religions such as Christian or Hindu, but who are not Muslim. The numbers below are the estimated number of muslims living in syani according to the United Nations:
Total: 7.4 million This number does not include people living in Pakistan and Bangladesh. The majority of Muslims are not in either country. There are many problems with this information. 1) It is not complete. This is not a comprehensive list of countries and their Muslims, nor is it a list of the number of Muslims living in every country. It is based on estimates that come from the country's statistics and other estimates that are based on data available to the research organizations. It is also not a direct comparison to other countries. This is just a short list of the countries that Muslims don't inhabit. 2) It doesn't include the country's non-Muslim population. It is important to note that there are different types of non-Muslim populations. If you look at the country's statistics, you will find that about 80% of the people in the country are non-Muslims. That is a different number than the countries on this list that are Muslim. 3) It is not a scientific study. It is more of a reflection of the current state of affairs. If this is not accurate, then you may want to check out this article on the statistics of Muslim countries. Also, it uae girls is important to note that it is not a very accurate guide. It only considers the main religion of the country and does not take into account the many sects that exist within Islam. Also, the list is not complete. It doesn't include any Muslim countries where Islamic culture and religion is the main source of culture, history, and laws. Also, it does not include countries where there is more than one religion. That is, it doesn't include places such as Islam, Catholicism, or Orthodoxy. It's not that it doesn't exist, it is just that the majority of the population is not Muslim. Also, there are Muslim countries that are in the top 20 that aren't on the list: Bahrain, Iran, Jordan, Mauritania, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
For many, the most appealing part of being Muslim is the ability to convert to Islam. Many Muslims believe that a Muslim must convert to Islam, or die. The problem with this is that the Koran, the holy book of Islam, does not permit conversion. It's a very important point to make. The Koran tells us that it is permissible for a man to marry an unbeliever in order to save his life: "If two men happen to meet each other, or meet in indian matrimonial sites in canada the road and are separated, or are in a city, or in a village, and the one of them says, 'I have been promised to you, and the other one says, 'No, then you may leave them and go to them. But if they come to you and offer you their hand to take it, and you refuse and they take it, you must not break the oath which you have taken; if you break it, they must kill you." (5:33) Some scholars have suggested that this is a case of "stealing the bride from the groom" because the Qur'an permits this. A study by the Muslim Community Relations Council (CRC) of Great Britain confirms that there is no specific prohibition against marriage of a Muslim to a non-Muslim. In fact, marriage in Islam is regarded as a matter of choice: "It is not permissible for a woman to marry a non-Muslim for the sake of marriage; it is better for her to stay single." (Shaykh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, Al-Mu'minin fi Ma'minin, Vol. I, pp. 12 and 15) sweedish men I have mentioned that Muslim scholars have said that "the prophet did not prohibit this practice". In fact, one of his companions, Mu'awiyah bin Abi Shaibah, was a convert to Islam. However, he did not get married until his marriage to Aisha (Allah be pleased with her) was consummated. In fact, he did not marry Aisha until after the consummation of her marriage to the prophet. (See: Ibn Kathir, Kitab Al-Siyaqat wal Qur'an, Kitab al-Muhafiz, Vol. 1, pg. 11-12) Now, what about the other "hadiths"? What about Hadith No. 5 and Hadith No. 16? As I have been researching for many years, my conclusions were that the hadith are fabricated by the Mu'tazilites and the Muslim Brotherhood in general and not authentic. So how can these hadith possibly have been authentic? Well, let's first look at these hadiths and see edmonton muslim if we can figure out where they came from. Hadith No. 5: Hadith No. 5 is an early hadith from Sahih Muslim which says that Muhammad was born in Medina (in what is sex dating bristol now Pakistan) and spent most of his childhood in Mecca. Here, a few things should be noted. It says that he spent his childhood in the house of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم). The "house" part is important here. The word "house" is an important part of what makes up the Qur'an. It is the place where Muhammad's parents were (he was a "mulberry" in this family, hence the name "mulberry"). When Muhammad was a boy, his parents left Mecca and went to Medina. After they settled there, the Prophet (صل�له لهم), after being trained in the ways of Islam, traveled to Madinah.
