The German-based Schenck Process Group (SPG) has confirmed plans to acquire British headquartered equipment and systems business Baker Perkins, as the company continues its global expansion, reports Neill Barston
As the Darmstadt business explained of its move, the investment in the specialist machinery company, which produces a number of lines for the confectionery, biscuit, cookie and cracker markets, will enable it to enhance its overall European, US and Asia Pacific operations.
With its base in Peterborough, UK, Baker Perkins serves a diverse base of customers across the food industry globally, having this year launched a new line for gummy confectionery at ProSweets 2020 in Cologne (pictured).
According to the management of SPG, the company intends to build upon the knowledge, experience and customer relationships of the Baker Perkins teams in order to support future growth. It pledged to remain committed to existing facilities of its newly-acquired business in Peterborough and Grand Rapids, Michigan, US.
The transaction is expected to close in Q4 2020, and on completion, the business will continue to be run by the existing managing directors as part of the SPG regional business structure. At the time of going to press, the financial value of the deal had not been released.
Keith Cochrane, CEO of SPG, said: "I am delighted to see Baker Perkins join us. This is a long-established business with a reputation for excellent products and customer service, with a similar business model to our own. It will complement and extend our existing product offering to the food end-market, which is a key strategic focus, providing good opportunities for future growth, operating efficiency and further value creation for all stakeholders.
Mr Dan Bassett, MD Baker Perkins UK, welcomed the move, which he believe would secure its existing operations, which have traditionally had a strong focus within the confectionery market.
He said: "We have been looking for a long-term partner prepared to invest in the company and continue its development for many years to come. We can relate to the SPG culture that encourages local autonomy and entrepreneurship, which fits well with our independent mind-set. Already we can see significant opportunities for growth, and I am excited at the prospect of working together.
Furthermore, Dan Smith, MD Baker Perkins US, added that Schenck Process already has a significant footprint in the US market, and that he felt there were 'major opportunities' in the combination of our expertise and product range.

Fairtrade International gains 'superbrand' status recognising its human rights work


A new interest that I've developed since the birth of my eldest son, Philip, is to learn more about Montessori methods. I'm a big fan of Edoki Academy's Montessori math apps - I think they are of high quality and very helpful for Philip and his brother. Today I'm really excited to share with you a brand new app from these developers, called Montessori Math: Add & Subtract Large Numbers. It's a sequel to Montessori 1st Operations, a great math app that I reviewed a couple of months ago. This brand new app builds on the basic addition and subtraction concepts that juniors have learned in the prequel app, and focuses on how to deal with large numbers.
If this is your first time playing, there are two paths that I recommend. The first one is to go through the suggested path of learning how to add numbers using the Stamp Game and Bead Frame. This approach works well if you're already familiar with these fundamental Montessori materials. If not, I'd suggest the second path, i.e. via the Toolbox. I personally prefer the Toolbox route since it lets juniors to first familiarize themselves with the methods used in the app.
Montessori Math: Add & Subtract Large Numbers is an excellent app that teaches kids to add and subtract numbers.
The Toolbox is the perfect gateway for you to understand the brilliance of Montessori methods. As a self-professed math geek, I'm really impressed with the way Montessori approaches these subjects.
In the Stamp Game, juniors will be asked to represent a number (small or large) using color-coded stamps. The basic units are represented with green stamps, whereas the tens and hundreds are each represented with blue and red stamps.
Each of these stamps have a number indicating its value. For example, the blue stamps have the number 10 written on it, whereas the red stamps have the number 100 on it. So even though the stamps representing thousands use the same green color as the stamps representing ones, juniors won't make the mistakes thanks to the number written on the stamps.
The Toolbox allows juniors to get familiar with the color-coded stamps before learning to perform addition using these stamps. The Toolbox will show a random number, such as 7,584, and juniors are asked to drag the appropriate stamps to represent that number.
After placing seven green stamps representing thousands, five red stamps representing hundreds, eight blue stamps representing tens, and four green stamps representing ones, the challenge is complete. The Toolbox will show a new random number for you to practice until you hit the close button on the top left corner to switch to another section.
Putting color-coded and numbered stamps into their respective columns help juniors to grasp the concept of representing numbers in 1000s, 100s, 10s, and 1s. This will be essential to explain the concepts of carry-over and borrowing later on. This will also help them to think in columns, preparing them for more abstract techniques introduced by Bead Frame and Magic Slate methods.
The second Montessori method introduced in the Toolbox is Bead Frame. In this method numbers are represented as color-coded beads arranged in columns similar to a Russian abacus. The same color conventions are used here, where green represents 1s and 1000s, and blue and red each represent 10s and 100s. To help juniors differentiate between each columns, the app shows a small unit number on top of each column to indicate the value of each colored bead.
In Bead Frame, juniors will be asked to represent a random number in beads. For example, to represent the number 0043, juniors need to move four blue beads representing 10s and three green beads representing 1s downwards. Later in the addition/subtraction mode, juniors will learn how to move beads up and down to represent the addition, subtraction, carrying and borrowing operations.
Finally, the last section in the Toolbox shows you addition and subtraction tables that juniors can use to remind themselves about the basic of these operations. These tables are exactly the same with the ones you'd find in the prequel app, where juniors can also learn how to reconstruct these tables from scratch by performing the addition and subtraction operations one at a time.
Colorful stamps help kids to differentiate between numbers.
Once you're familiar with how you can represent numbers with stamps and beads, you're ready to learn addition and subtraction the Montessori way. The methods are placed in the order of the suggested learning curve, from a more concrete method to a more abstract method. I'd suggest starting with Stamp Game before moving on to Bead Frame and Magic Slate.
In Stamp Game, you will be shown two random numbers: one placed on the top half of the board and the other on the bottom half. Using the color-coded stamps, you're asked to represent each number correctly before dragging the plus button to the right. The app will then combine all the stamps according to their respective columns. If you see a column containing more than 10 stamps, you can select a group of 10 of those stamps and drag them to their neighboring column on the left, and have those stamps converted into a stamp valuing 10x the old stamp.
For example, if you add 12 to 99, you will see 10 blue stamps and 11 green stamps. First you drag 10 green stamps and move it to the blue column to have it converted into a blue stamp. Now you have 11 blue stamps and one green stamp. Then you drag 10 blue stamps and move it to the red column to have it converted into a red stamp. As a result you have one red stamp, one blue stamp, and one green stamp, yielding the result of 111.
The Stamp Game is meant as an introductory method. That's why it's only limited to two operands. Once your juniors are ready, they can move on to the subsequent methods where they will encounter operations with three or four operands.
While performing additions with the Bead Frame method, I'd suggest letting kids try to solve each column starting from the least significant digit. This approach will allow them to tackle any number of operands, and to move to a more abstract method (such as Magic Slate or even mental calculation) without any problem. I'd also suggest letting them add numbers by counting one at a time.
For example, if you want to add 5 to 6, you'd start with six beads and add one bead at a time until you've added all five beads. Each time you reach 10 beads in a column, pause your counting, move all the beads back up, add one bead from the neighboring column on the left, and continue your counting.
Finally, in the Magic Slate method, juniors will practice addition in a more abstract way, dealing with numbers only. No more stamps nor beads to represent the numbers. It's basically the same method that an adult would use solve the problem, complete with small markers on top of each column to indicate carry-overs.
Magic Slate allows kids to practice subtraction in a more abstract way.
Learning how to do subtraction is very similar to the way you learn addition, only this time all challenges are limited to two operands. Instead of grouping 10 stamps/beads to exchange it forward to a higher stamp/bead, subtraction would let you borrow one stamp/bead from a higher-value column and exchange it for 10 stamps/beads of the lower-value column to solve the problem.
The Stamp Game allows juniors to see a nice animation of this process. Dragging a red stamp over to the blue column will automatically convert it to 10 blue columns. It's an excellent way for juniors to learn the concept of borrowing.
Unlike with the Bead Frame method, I'd suggest starting with the number on top (the minuend) and represent it as beads in all four columns. Start subtracting from the least significant digit by moving up one bead at a time. Each time you need more beads to subtract, i.e., when there are no more bead to move up, pause the counting, subtract a bead from the next higher-value column, add 10 beads back to the active column, and continue your counting.
In the Magic Slate method, you will see the borrowing concept as striking a higher number and add a prefix of 1 to the current digit of the minuend. For example, to subtract 72 with 25, you will need to borrow a digit of tens from 7 and convert it to 10 digits of ones to add to 2. You can now subtract 12 with 5 to get 7 ones, and 6 with 2 to get 4 tens, yielding the final result of 47.
There are mini games to practice the concepts that you've learned.
In math, practice makes perfect. Knowing this, the developers included three mini games in the Playbox section. The first game, Missing Digits, will show a Magic Slate containing a problem that you need to solve by identifying the missing digits. I really enjoy playing this game as it offers a different level of exercise on top of your normal fill-in-the-blank question. It reminds me of verbal arithmetic puzzles I used to play with on high school.
If you want a more straightforward fill-in-the-blank question, you might want to try the Wiz Quiz game. If you want to try a more visual and fun game, you can try the Bubble Game. This one is more like a multiple choice question where the options to a problem float around in bubbles.
All of these mini games are run in a series of 120 seconds. There's a timer on the top right corner as you play. The idea is to try getting as many correct answers as possible within the 2-minute period. The app will automatically restart a new 2-minute session until you tap on the close icon on the top left corner to switch to another game.
You can adjust the difficulty settings for each user of the app.
Montessori Math: Add & Subtract Large Numbers allows you to create multiple user profiles, so you can share the iPad with more than one player at home or in the classroom. The developers also included a dynamic progression algorithm which allows the game to automatically adapt its difficulty level for each user profile based on the way the player solves the current set of problems.
If you want you can also set the difficulty to any one of the four predetermined levels. The app allows you to fine tune the game settings to suit the current learning progress of each user profile.
Similar to its prequel app, you can exchange the points that you collect throughout the learning sections and the mini games with items that you can buy in the Monster Store. You can then go to the Monster Lab to play with your own unique monsters.
Finally, if you want to learn more about the Montessori methods in facilitating juniors to learn addition and subtraction, you should definitely check out the Note to Parents section. It contains excellent description of each method used in the app, and how to interact with the app should your juniors have problems with it. I personally think it has an awesome educational value, even for a math-geek parent like me.
Montessori Math: Add & Subtract Large Numbers is an excellent sequel to the Montessori Math: 1st Operations. As someone who loves math, I highly recommend the Montessori methods used in this app. The app is nicely designed to make these methods even easier to comprehend even for juniors as young as six years old.

Jackie McNamara delivers fierce defence of his record and seems destined for a return to the dugout
Some link him with Dundee United's demise and he was York City gaffer when they tumbled into the National League but McNamara is ready for a return to management.

Jackie McNamara speaks of perception. He talks of intelligence and understanding, along with loyalty.
The final word explains his current position in football. The first three are more connected to which path his career may take next.
It's 20 months since McNamara parted company with Dundee United. Since then, he has been down south at York City, firstly as a first-team boss and now as general manager.
The near two years out of Scotland haven't changed him. His desire, his determination to succeed, his will to do the right things and his outlook on the game remain exactly the same.

To some, he's soiled goods. Part of Dundee United's demise and then manager as York City were relegated to the National League. In office as the club slipped down another rung of the English ladder to the National League North.
To others he has been a victim of circumstance, hamstrung by the cutbacks at United after doing a magnificent job at Partick Thistle, his excellent building of a squad at Tannadice ruined by players being sold from under his feet.
He also had no chance at York, a club on the decline with a lack of professionalism and direction belying their status.

Take your own view on him but no one can argue he was a fantastic player and has been a smart cookie since moving from boots to manager's jacket to boardroom suit.
McNamara has clear views on what has gone on and, refreshingly, doesn't shirk saying them.
United fans may have wanted him gone in the end but, as far as he was concerned, the story wasn't black and white – or tangerine.
Speaking about his situation since leaving Scotland he is candid and honest about what has gone right or wrong and, crucially, why.
Former Dundee Utd manager Jackie MacNamara with star pupil Stuart Armstrong
McNamara said: "I looked at Partick Thistle last weekend against Rangers and saw players I brought in from nowhere on a small budget. The same at Dundee United with the problems they had, yet that is all forgotten.
"With all the debt, they could have been another Hearts, Dundee or Rangers. But we did it the right way.
"I have no problems with the fact I paid for it but it's about people understanding the game and that there were certain things outwith my control.
"People with intelligence can see it. I spoke with Bertie Auld and he had the same problems in his managerial career but I've not lost any faith in my ability as a coach or as a manager, or in my staff. I've just been frustrated with the whole set-up.
Dundee Utd chairman Steven Thompson alongside Jackie McNamara (Image: SNS)
"It's easy to go and buy 15 senior players who all know the game, like certain clubs in Scotland. But it's a lot harder to put in an infrastructure to take younger ones and teach them, to go and make them better.
"I wanted to do that as a coach. Pass on wisdom and experiences, whereas some people are more interested in teaching themselves.
"I felt the ones who wanted to work were the ones who improved. Andy Robertson, Blair Spittal, Stuart Armstrong, Gary Mackay-Steven. Then you had experienced guys like John Rankin and Paul Paton who did the same because they wanted to maximise their careers.
"Good attitudes and good professionals. It was a good formula. We had top-six finishes and cup finals. We weren't relegated when I left.
Andy Robertson was an inspired signing
"In fairness to Stephen Thompson, he inherited a big problem and did things the right way but it comes at a cost and it's about getting the balance right when the time comes.
"I'll feel a great sense of pride when Scotland play England. Andy Robertson's mum and dad were at the PFA Awards. Same with Blair Spittal's mum and dad.
"I always remember when I signed Andy from Queen's Park for a nominal fee, emails came into the club from United fans asking why were signing players from Queen's Park. A few months later there were emails asking why we were selling him.
"You can never win. Everything comes to a Saturday. If you win everything's great, if you don't fingers get pointed. I will say that, regardless of me, United did it the right way. They tried to do it right and hopefully they will get back."
Blair Spittal was another signing (Image: SNS Group)
McNamara's next move after United was hard to predict. He probably didn't foresee it himself. Contacted out of the blue by York owner Jason McGill, he was in charge at Bootham Crescent within a month of leaving Tannadice.
His eyes were opened when he got to Yorkshire. He went south to be a coach. He ended up having to sort out the entire place.
He added: "I hadn't applied for the job, I'd been away from United for about a month and he phoned me. He'd obviously looked at the stuff we had done before at Partick and United and how we turned that around.
"Once I'd been around Jason, I really liked him as a person and I wish I'd had him as a chairman before I went to York.
"When I went there as manager I was trying to do a lot of things as well as manage the team. I was looking at the infrastructure and a lot of things needed changed.
Jackie McNamara and his former chairman Stephen Thompson (Image: SNS Group)
"Behind the scenes, a lot of things were non-league, even though the club was in League Two. It was about trying to do that as well as run a team and it was difficult.
"The biggest frustration was that some players didn't have the appetite or professionalism to succeed.
"It's more going about club to club for last pay days. I've always been about trying to make players better and improving them on and off the park.
"Whether it be strength and conditioning, diets, yoga. But the players you have need to want to change and have to want to be better. That was frustrating because their want was not my want.
Former York City Manager Jackie McNamara with Simon Donnelly
"I stepped down in October and the new manager went into the job with 31 games to go."
By this point, McGill had earmarked McNamara for a new role. General manager was a different direction, yet the loyalty within left him no option.
He said: "The chairman showed support and loyalty to me at the times when the results weren't there.
"I think that's because he was seeing what was going on behind the scenes and how I was trying to change his club for him. It would have been easy for him to sack me when the results were not there. Now it's the same thing, I'm being loyal to him because he's a friend."
Which takes us to now. Where will McNamara end up next? When? It's unknown even to the man himself at the moment.
Jackie McNamara in the manager's office at Firhill
But the one thing he does know is that he isn't finished as a manager.
He said: "I'm not done with management. I'm taking time out. I went into a difficult situation at York, trying to coach and teach.
"I felt I did it but you have to want to be coached and taught.
"It's like when someone else goes in and has an impact, like when Brendan Rodgers replaced Ronny Deila at Celtic. Every player Brendan has worked with has developed and I still see myself as a coach.
"Just now I'll be there to help the York owner, although whether that will change when we get to a new stadium, I don't know. He's my boss but he's my friend."
McNamara has shown the loyalty. If others share his perception, intelligence and understanding of what he has been though, he might just get back to the touchline sooner as opposed to later.
Will Jackie McNamara make a triumphant return to management?


When considering someone's mental capacity its is important to bear in mind that the right to self-determination is enshrined in law.
In 1948 Eleanor Roosevelt, as the chair of the United Nations Human Rights Commission, was the driving force in creating the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Act (1948).
Since 1948 there have been laws passed in many countries stating that people with communication disabilities should have equal rights, including and specifically in the complex area of mental capacity. In the United States the Federal Law that covers this is the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 . In the UK the key Acts of Parliament are the Mental Capacity Act (2005) England and Wales and the Adults with Incapacity Scotland Act (2000).
The UK Acts specifically focus on mental capacity and say that every adult has the right to make decisions unless proved otherwise and that each individual has a different capacity to make decisions about different aspects of their life. In addition they state that we must assume that someone has Capacity unless it is established that the person has substantial difficulty in one or more of the following criteria in the following diagram.
There are a number of important expectations behind these Acts which are particularly significant for people with communication difficulties.
Information to support understanding needs to be given in a way that is appropriate to his/her circumstances (using simple language, visual aids or any other means).
Please let us know how you deal with self-determination and capacity issues where you work.
In a future post I will explain how Talking Mats can help support decision making and the identification of Capacity.
This entry was posted in Blog, Capacity, Legal and tagged capacity, Mental Health on July 14, 2017 by Joan Murphy.
Health professionals from Stockport have shared how using Talking Mats has positively impacted on their clinical work.
Laura, our North West Associate, met up with Carla Innes, Clinical Psychologist for learning disability from Healthy Young minds Stockport (a child and adolescent mental health service provided by Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust) and Clare Royle, Family Support Worker,from the Children's Learning Disability Team (provided by Stockport NHS Foundation Trust). The two organisations work closely together to provide joined up care to young people with a learning disability.
Six months ago Carla, Clare and seven others from the Healthy Young Minds Stockport Team received training to enable them to introduce Talking Mats as part of their challenging behaviour pathway.
Carla and Claire said that the staff team are very positive about the impact of Talking Mats. The overall impression is that Talking Mats has enabled staff to gain an individualised sense of the child or young person they are working with, as well as empowering the children and young people to share their views and opinions. Carla also notes that using Talking Mats has helped her to focus on the child/young person's abilities/potential – their 'zone of proximal development' – and to ensure that everyone is working within that.
– Providing 'headspace' for the child/young person to process their thoughts and to really consider what is important to them.
– Giving a holistic, child/YP centred account and narrative of their feelings and behaviour.
– Helping to inform and direct clinical decision making e.g. introduction of an approach such as CBT.
– Enabling children/young people who have previously refused, or been very reluctant, to share their views and opinions about topics which have been troubling them for example, school attendance and issues with sleep.
– Providing of a communication framework which is neutral and non-threatening – much less intense than direct verbal questioning or conversation.
– Helping to make abstract concepts more concrete for the listener to understand.
– Being a safe, flexible and quick method of finding practical solutions and determining direct actions.
– Enabling the listener to gain a better understanding of the thinker's level of knowledge and understanding about a particular topic such as healthy eating. This can help inform capacity assessments e.g. in terms of medical consent or the use of medication. The mental capacity act states that appropriate support should be given to young people to make informed decisions and to communicate those decisions.
In addition, from a wider team perspective, Carla and Clare report that they have all noticed benefits in terms of consistency of Talking Mats use by all members of the multi-disciplinary team. Each team member using the Talking Mats tool is working from a slightly different perspective; using Talking Mats ensures that the child/young person is kept at the centre of the process. This results in a truly holistic view of the child/young person's feelings, views and opinions.

40th Anniversary Edition!

Definitive Compilation of Elvis Presley's Last Sessions - Recorded in Graceland's Legendary "Jungle Room" - Includes Studio Masters, Rare Alternate Takes!
In the mid-1970s, Elvis, the King of Rock 'n' Roll, became another kind of pioneer as one of the world's first major recording artists to create fully-realized professional level records in the intimacy of his own home studio.
With original recordings executive-produced by Elvis Presley with producer Felton Jarvis (who'd helmed most of Elvis' records from 1966-1977), Way Down In The Jungle Room brings together, for the first time in one collection, master recordings and rare outtakes laid down during two mythic sessions (February 2-8, 1976 and October 28-30, 1976) in Graceland's den--known as the "Jungle Room"--which was converted into a professional caliber recording studio for the purpose of capturing these indelible performances. The outtakes have been newly mixed by Grammy Award-winning engineer Matt Ross-Spang at Sam Phillips Recording in Memphis, Tennessee.
For these sessions, Elvis was backed by many members of his longtime touring band including: James Burton (guitar), Ronnie Tutt (drums), David Briggs (keyboards), Glenn D. Hardin (keyboards), Jerry Scheff (bass), Norbert Putnam (bass) and J.D. Sumner & the Stamps (vocals).
In 1976, when the tracks for Way Down In The Jungle Room were cut, Elvis Presley had been an RCA Records recording artist for 20 years, inventing the sound and attitude that defined the very essence of rock 'n' roll. That same year, RCA released The Sun Sessions, the label's first official collection of the electrifying 1954-1955 Elvis recordings that launched his career while transforming the world.
Having entered his 40s, Elvis Presley was evolving as an artist and, rather than bask in the nostalgia of his 1950s watershed recordings, was looking for new ways to express himself musically. Needing to create new sounds for a new era, Elvis Presley--who'd been charting on Country and Adult Contemporary stations--decided to convert the Hawaiian-themed "Jungle Room" (a relaxation den in his fabled Graceland mansion in Memphis, Tennessee) into an informal home studio, where he could lay down tracks the way he wanted, outside the budget and scheduling pressures of the professional studios he'd worked in previously. With the help of RCA's mobile recording truck and longtime producer Felton Jarvis and engineer Mike Moran at the board, Elvis tackled a far-ranging mix of country and pop covers ("Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain," "I'll Never Fall in Love Again," "Danny Boy," "Solitaire") and late-period classics of his catalog, such as "Moody Blue" and "Way Down."

Search Willamette,
Willamette's English Department teaches the twinned arts of reading and writing, of making and paying close and concerned attention to literary texts. English students participate in literary culture as critics, theorists, historians, and writers. In literature courses, they learn to fashion nuanced interpretative arguments; in creative writing courses, they craft poems, stories, essays, scripts, and songs. Literary studies addresses the breadth of human experience and the need for a thoughtful experience of the world including the metaphorical underpinnings of identity, the various dimensions of aesthetic creation, and the ways that language and literature may reflect a given society's values, justify a status quo, or imagine a more just world.

English majors approach the study of literature from a variety of historical and methodological perspectives. Courses may address the formal textures of a literary work, its role within a culture or historical period, specific genres ranging from lyric poetry to science fiction, the achievement of a major author, age, or movement, the practices of literary and cultural theory, the politics of interpretation and canonization, and the methods of literary scholarship. English classes are discussion-based and encourage collaboration and active learning. English faculty members also participate in interdisciplinary programs including American Ethnic Studies, Film Studies, and Women's and Gender Studies. Some of the courses in these programs may be taken as part of the English major. Students can also earn English credit while studying abroad.
The major commences with English 201 and English 202, which introduce students to close reading and literary theory. Majors take courses that focus on literature from different time periods and cultures, but devise a course of study that reflects their own intellectual interests. The Senior Experience—a self-defined Independent Study project, or an English or Humanities Seminar—completes the major.
Beyond the major
The Department offers minors in English and Writing, as well as a number of courses that satisfy Willamette's general education requirements. The Department promotes Willamette's writing culture by stressing composition in all of its courses. Our faculty and students work closely with the Writing Center. And the Department sponsors writing workshops, the campus-wide Mark and Melody Teppola Prizes for Creative Writing, and readings and lectures by scholars and writers visiting campus in conjunction with classes and through the Hallie Ford Literary Series.
Preparing our students for a variety of careers:
public advocacy
English students develop the skills of close reading, analytical thinking, careful research, and clarity and sophistication in communication. Of equal importance, our students cultivate habits and discover forms of knowledge—an appreciation for the distinctive qualities of imaginative literature, a capacity for self-expression, a sense of historical contingency, an awareness of literature as a force of power—that make life rich and meaningful.

«Two rooms of equal size, connected by an opening at one side, under surveillance by two video cameras positioned at the connecting point between the two rooms. The front inside wall of each features two video screens - within the scope of the surveillance cameras. The monitor which the visitor coming out of the other room spies first shows the live behavior of the people in the respective other room. In both rooms, the second screen shows an image of the behavior of the viewers in the respectively other room - but with an eight second delay.
The time-lag of eight seconds is the outer limit of the neurophysiological short-term memory that forms an immediate part of our present perception and affects this «from within». If you see your behavior eight seconds ago presented on a video monitor «from outside» you will probably therefore not recognize the distance in time but tend to identify your current perception and current behavior with the state eight seconds earlier. Since this leads to inconsistent impressions which you then respond to, you get caught up in a feedback loop. You feel trapped in a state of observation, in which your self-observation is subject to some outside visible control. In this manner, you as the viewer experience yourself as part of a social group of observed observers [instead of, as in the traditional view of art, standing arrested in individual contemplation before an auratic object].

Q: C# (.NET 3.5) Is there any way to get this function name? I have a function that wraps a call to one of my socket types. If there is an error, I want to be able to print a warning and retry. In the warning, I want to have the method name. However, it was declared as a lambda. Is this even possible?
How I call the function (assume in function called myMain):
SafeSocketCommand(() => this.mySocket.ReadCurrentBuffer());

Basic wrapping function:
protected TResult SafeSocketCommand<TResult>(Func<TResult> socketCommand)
{
    TResult retValue = default(TResult);
    try
    {
        retValue = socketCommand();
    }
    catch (PacketLost)
    {
        ReportToLogs("Timeout on command '" + socketCommand.Method.Name);
    }
    return retValue;
}

But socketCommand.Method.Name gives me the calling method (from the Stack Trace?) '< myMain >b__3' and I want the actual function being invoked by socketCommand (mySocket.ReadCurrentBuffer). Is it possible to get this information anywhere, or is it lost due to declaring in a lambda?
EDIT:
I should have mentioned that I use this particular calling convention so that I can use socket based commands of various signatures.
int i = SafeSocketCommand(() => this.mySocket.FunctionReturnsInt())
bool b = SafeSocketCommand(() => this.mySocket.FunctionReturnsBool(string s))
object o = SafeSocketCommand(() => this.mySocket.Complicated(string s, int i, bool b))

It also handles no return type signatures by overloading:
protected void SafeSocketCommand(Action socketCommand)
{
    SafeSocketCommand(() => { socketCommand(); return 0; });
}

A: If you modify your SafeSocketCommand to accept an Expression<Func<TResult>> then you'll get access to an expression tree that represents the body of the lambda, from which you can access the ReadCurrentBuffer call directly.
However, if you do this, you're no longer dealing with a regular anonymous method; to actually call it you'll need to compile the expression tree to code. You may also need to be flexible as to what your code expects to appear inside the lambda's body.

A: No, because lambda's don't have names; they're anonymous functions.  You could get the method name from the last stackframe, though:
new StackFrame(1).GetMethod().Name;

A: Func<TResult> is just a delegate. Rather than use a lambda, create a method that matches the signature of Func<TResult> and call that. That way, you'll have whatever name you want.
SafeSocketCommand(MyNewMethod);

...
public TResult MyNewMethod()
{
    return this.mySocket.ReadCurrentBuffer();
}

A: In this case, you can simply this call instead. It'll be faster and smaller generated code too.
SafeSocketCommand(mySocket.ReadCurrentBuffer);

In general, the StackTrace of the Exception object contains the full information you are looking for, much more accurately than printing the method name, or you can use the TargetSite property for the name of the method that threw the exception.

Incursions via smuggling: Standoff between India & China hits trade of locals
By Masood Hussain, ET Bureau | Apr 27, 2013, 10.23 AM IST
Thupstan Wangchuk, who represents eastern Ladakh town of Nyoma in Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council, says that while illegal trade continues for most of the year, the main trading season is winter.
SRINAGAR: The incursion of a Red Army platoon 19 km inside the border in eastern Ladakh and the ensuing standoff between New Delhi and Beijing have impacted the livelihood of hundreds of locals: their 'trade'.
Unlike the popular perception in mainland India, the historical tracks that link Ladakh to the main Silk Route did not shut down after India and China officially sealed the borders. Instead, eastern Ladakh is known as one of the most active smuggling points in Jammu and Kashmir.
"At the peak of the winter in January and February, Chinese and Tibetan traders set up a huge market at Dumtsele where people go and barter," he says.
"Locals purchase a lot of things from this market - blankets, quilts, flasks, crockery, cigarettes, kitchenware, footwear and electronic items, and it is a major source of income for a lot many people," he adds.
What do they give in return? The Chinese mostly seek cooking oils and even medicines, says Wangchuk. Some locals say most smuggled items are brought to Leh's Moti market where improved tourist arrival is driving up demand every summer.
Wangchuk says Chinese thermo-flasks are a craze in the high-altitude desert. "You can imagine the volume because every third home in India has this Chinese flask."
The Chinese army controls Dumtsele- 20 km from Kuyul where the current confrontation is happening - since the last couple of years. That hasn't affected the trade. Even the current standoff, while making things difficult, has not shut down the trade.
For people living in these tough mountain terrains, smuggling is a way of life. "Who will stop it and why?" says a local who introduces himself as Namgiyal. "The border is so huge that we can't even have dogs to patrol them. Soldiers appear only when there is a crisis," he adds.
The practical impossibility of manning such a long and treacherous line of control, which security officials confirm, is one of the several factors abetting the illegal trade.
A bigger reason is that many peripheral areas are not properly connected, and local retailers find it easier to access many goods from traders across the border. In fact, China has better access to some areas because of its better roads in the area, including the 1,300-km Karakoram Highway from Kashgar in China to Abottabad in Pakistan across the Karakoram mountain range. Also, the rival armies have been in a way encouraging the informal trade because it helps them collect human intelligence.
After all, the trade has been happening there for ages. Only recently it became illegal. It's only natural that many locals call for the roads be opened for trade.
"We have a common language and culture," says P Namgyal, a former lawmaker from the region who demands that the Tibet route - know locally as the Damchok road - be reopened. "The closure of Sinkiyang (Leh-Damchok-Tibet) road after the 1962 war has literally suffocated us," he says.
Opening the route would also help Leh attract many Indian pilgrims going on Kailash-Mansarovar yatra because the base camp for Mount Kailash is barely 250 km from Damchok. Delhi is also keen to use this route as an alternative access to the pilgrimage centre because the existing route can be dangerous. More than 200 pilgrims were buried under a landslide in 1998 at Malpa near Lipulekh pass.
Also, Damchok was widely expected to be a fourth formal trading window between India and China. During the 1990s, Delhi and Beijing agreed to have border trading posts at Shipkila in Kinnaur, Himachal Pradesh, and Gunji in Uttaranchal. And in 2003, the two sides opted for a third at Nathu La in Sikkim. Damchok's turn is yet to come.
But security agencies are concerned about the illegal trade. Owing to the presence of a number of security agencies keen to keep track of the developments, the smuggling is directly or indirectly abetted for spying, says a police officer who served in the area.
In November 2009, four arrests were made in the region for attempted smuggling of about 90 kg of endangered caterpillar mushroom insects, used for the manufacture of Chinese medicines. These sell for around Rs 10 lakh per kg. The local smugglers were trying to cross the border through the frozen Indus river. A month later, police recovered 50 tonnes of red sanders, a fragrant timber in huge demand for cabinetwork and dyewood, from Shey hamlet in the outskirts of Leh. The smugglers had brought this timber all the way down from Andhra Pradesh, but were caught well before they could cross the border.
After being proposed in 1962, the customs and central excise department started running a customs preventive station (CPS) at Nyoma from 2002. SK Khatana, assistant commissioner in-charge of the station, says the Indo-Tibetan Border Police is deployed on the frontiers. "They seize the material and hand over to us," he says. Last year, they had five seizures. "Most of it takes place in winter when the Indus freezes," Khatana says.

Interview with Nicholas Buccola
#America's Best Selling Authors Tuesday, September 10th, 2019 / 6:04 AM by Steve Murphy
Nicholas Buccola
author of "The Fire Is upon Us: James Baldwin, William F. Buckley Jr., and the Debate over Race in America"
Nicholas Buccola's Website
Nicholas Buccola, author of "The Fire Is upon Us: James Baldwin, William F. Buckley Jr., and the Debate over Race in America"
Political science Professor Nicholas Buccola teaches and researches American politics, including contemporary issues such as same-sex marriage, social justice, contemporary moral controversies, and political liberals and conservatives. Other areas of expertise include the Supreme Court and constitutional law.
He is the founding director of the Frederick Douglass Forum on Law, Rights, and Justice at Linfield College.
His book, The Political Thought of Frederick Douglass: In Pursuit of American Liberty, has garnered praise for its relevancy and insight. The biography was published by New York University Press in 2012, and highlights the life of Douglass, a slave who became one the most influential activists and orators of the 19th century.
In addition to academic publications, Buccola has published opinion columns and provided political commentary in regional and national newspapers and journals, including The Oregonian, Dallas Morning News, Baltimore Sun, Dissent magazine and Reason magazine.
The Book: "The Fire Is upon Us: James Baldwin, William F. Buckley Jr., and the Debate over Race in America"
Documenting the clash between the civil rights firebrand and the father of modern conservatism continues to illuminate America's racial divide.
On February 18, 1965, an overflowing crowd packed the Cambridge Union in Cambridge, England, to witness a historic televised debate between James Baldwin, the leading literary voice of the civil rights movement, and William F. Buckley Jr., a fierce critic of the movement and America's most influential conservative intellectual. The topic was "the American dream is at the expense of the American Negro," and no one who has seen the debate can soon forget it. Nicholas Buccola's The Fire Is upon Us is the first book to tell the full story of the event, the radically different paths that led Baldwin and Buckley to it, the controversies that followed, and how the debate and the decades-long clash between the men continues to illuminate America's racial divide today.
Born in New York City only fifteen months apart, the Harlem-raised Baldwin and the privileged Buckley could not have been more different, but they both rose to the height of American intellectual life during the civil rights movement. By the time they met in Cambridge, Buckley was determined to sound the alarm about a man he considered an "eloquent menace." For his part, Baldwin viewed Buckley as a deluded reactionary whose popularity revealed the sickness of the American soul. The stage was set for an epic confrontation that pitted Baldwin's call for a moral revolution in race relations against Buckley's unabashed elitism and implicit commitment to white supremacy.
A remarkable story of race and the American dream, The Fire Is upon Us reveals the deep roots and lasting legacy of a conflict that continues to haunt our politics.

UK: Ravensworth Garden Centre to expand thanks to £1.1m investment
Ravensworth Nurseries in Richmond, North Yorkshire is investing £1.1m in developing an upmarket retail garden centre to enhance its already successful plant nursery with funding from Reward Finance Group.
Having been established for more than 50 years, the family-run business, which is the largest grower of Poinsettias in the North of England, has developed an excellent reputation for supplying quality home-grown plants, starter plants and seedlings to retail outlets and garden centres across the UK. It also has contracts with several councils to supply hanging baskets and plants for their parks and high streets.
Fiona Dean – Director of Ravensworth Nurseries
With land available on its 36-acre site, and with a prime location near the busy A66, it was a natural progression to expand its existing garden centre, with the potential to add a café in the future.
Unfortunately, plans were put on hold for a few months when the coronavirus pandemic closed the business to the public. However, through quick thinking, the company created a new website in a matter of days offering local deliveries. It hired some vans and used members of the team, who usually deliver to other garden centres, to drop off the orders.
It was extremely successful, leading to an increased the number of visitors to the nursery who are keen to see the full range of plants available, now lockdown restrictions have been eased.
This has given the owners even more confidence to grow the on-site retail offering, and work is now underway to develop the complex, with funding secured from Reward Finance Group.
Speaking about the expansion, Director of Ravensworth Nurseries, Fiona Dean, said, "Having recruited experienced business consultant Bob Morton to review the business, he identified the opportunity to create a significant increase in revenue by creating more of a leisure destination, where visitors can browse our homegrown plants, as well as garden products and accessories, and potentially enjoy a drink and a bite to eat in the café. A move which will augment our successful core business of supplying the trade.
"Although we appreciate it is a significant investment, we were disappointed by the negative reaction from the banks we approached for funding. Fortunately, Bob introduced us to David Jones at Reward Finance Group, who understood our business, grasped the great opportunity for growth that had been identified, and quickly provided the funds to develop the complex."
Founding Director of Reward Finance Group, David Jones, added, "This is a fantastic family business which has built an excellent reputation as a top-class nursery over its 50 years of trading. With the ability to grow their own plants, it makes perfect sense to expand and improve the retail experience.
"As well as making an increased margin on the sale of the plants and trees, there will be no additional distribution costs, as the greenhouses and growing areas are next to the garden centre. This puts them in a perfect position to tap into the growing demand by consumers for plants that are 'grown not flown'.
"Having looked at the business plan and with the right security in place, we were very happy to provide the funds to help the business grow."

From Campbell River to Across Canada
From a small, local construction company to a Canadian leader in development, construction, and rental management, Broadstreet Properties and Seymour Pacific Developments have grown and achieved great things over three generations of leadership.
Kris Mailman learned his entrepreneurial spirit from his father, owner of Mailman Construction. In 1983, Kris took over the business from his father and continued to build single-family homes in Campbell River. Over the next few years, he, and his wife Cheryl, expanded the business into multi-family dwelling. Soon after in 1994, they launched a property management arm of the company – Broadstreet Properties. After success in Western Canadian markets, Kris sold the portfolio and relaunched it under a new business model. In 2006, the Broadstreet Properties we know and love today was born.
Kris and Cheryl diversified the business and expanded into new markets across Canada. They established a Home Office in their hometown, Campbell River, BC, and set up Regional Offices in Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, and Manitoba. Today, Broadstreet has over 12,000 suites and is expanding every single day. Watch this incredible journey take place in our new Company Timeline Video.
Thank you for making Broadstreet and Seymour a great place to be. Here's to the next 50 years!

Ideal as a green manure, it is fast growing and produces large volumes of green matter and residual fibre which, when chopped up and dug in is particularly good for soil that lacks organic matter as it helps to improve soil texture and moisture retention.
Sow early March-September at 3g/sqm. After 4 to 8 weeks of growth chop down the plants and cultivate into the top few inches of your soil. On sandy ground let mustard reach 40cm in height before digging in. This will produce more fibrous plant matter that can help very free draining soils retain more moisture and nutrients.
Mustard is well adapted to cool climates and will germinate at low soil temperatures to 4°C (39°F). Seedlings emerge rapidly, but then usually grow slowly. Plants cover the ground in 4 to 5 weeks. Plant height at maturity varies from 60 to 90cm (24 to 36in) depending on environmental conditions.
Flower buds are visible about five weeks after emergence. Yellow flowers begin to appear 7 to 10 days later and continue blooming for a long period. They are attractive to pollinating insects.
Mustard can be raised on variable soil types; it has partial drought tolerance, but does not tolerate waterlogged soils since growth will be stunted. Mustard is a robust annual, once frosts arrive in winter the foliage can be left on the soil surface as a mulch. It will gradually be incorporated by worms etc and the remainder can be dug in during early spring.
Mustards are reportedly good for companion planting, as they stimulate growth of beans, grapes and fruit trees, and are considered an excellent rotation for wheat and cereal crops.
It is thought that mustard may reduce the population of wireworms by stimulating the pest to complete their life cycle much quicker - these insects can devastate a crop of potatoes. Mustard is ideal sown before planting seed potato beds.
As part of the brassica family, repeated sowings and digging in of the mustard at 4 to 8 week intervals may help to clear infected land of club-root. Mustard will activate the dormant spores of this fungal disease, and will allow the grower to break its life-cycle as the plants are prematurely destroyed. An excellent plus, as club-root disease can remain dormant in the ground for up to 20 years but this is not a quick fix and it will take a number of repeated sowings.
Don't use mustard before sowing a brassica crop in crop rotation, as this increases the likelihood of diseases.
Bare patches should be covered within two to three weeks and plants will do the most good if they are left for around eight weeks before digging in.
If plants start to flower before this, cut off the tops and dig in. Leave the green manure to decompose in the soil for up to four weeks before growing vegetables.
Rotate green manures as you would any other crop. Rotate Vicia, and Alfalfa, with Peas/Beans, Mustard and Fodder Raddish with Brassicas.
Mustard (Brassica spp.), a native to temperate regions of Europe, was one of the first domesticated crops. This crop's economic value resulted in its wide dispersal and it has been grown as a herb in Asia, North Africa, and Europe for thousands of years. Ancient Greeks and Romans enjoyed mustard (sinapis) seed as a paste and powder. In about 1300, the name "mustard" was given to the condiment made by mixing "mustum", which is the Latin word for unfermented grape juice, with ground mustard seeds.
Mustards belong to the Brassica Family. The three main types are Black Mustard (Brassica nigra), Oriental/Brown Mustard (Brassica juncea) and Yellow Mustard (Brassica hirta).
In Europe Yellow Mustard is also known as Sinapis alba - an older botanical name. It is also occasionally referred to as White Mustard.
Nutritionally, it adds fat, oil and protein to the diet, and is used when a milder flavouring is desired. It is used to make the standard mustards often applied to hot dogs.

The death of Stanley E. Williams on July 2 marked the end of a remarkable career in Bay Area theater and of a very productive partnership. Williams, the founding artistic director of the Lorraine Hansberry Theatre, died just nine weeks after his longtime partner, Quentin Easter, executive director of the company they founded in 1981.
They started with $1,500 in the bank, presenting a diverse selection of established and cutting-edge work by African American playwrights in a succession of small performance spaces. In a climate of severe arts funding cutbacks, which hit ethnically identified organizations particularly hard, the new company quickly made a name for itself with a hard-hitting staging of Charles Fuller's "Zooman and the Sign," Adrienne Kennedy's seminal "Funnyhouse of a Negro" and new works by Ntozake Shange, Alice Walker, Jamal, Robert Alexander and others.
"We honestly didn't know if we had a chance to survive," Williams told The Chronicle's Steven Winn in a 1985 interview. "The game plan was to get on the board and see where we stood."
By then, they had established the Hansberry as the leading African American theater in the city. In 1988, with funding from the city and donors, Williams and Easter had their own 300-seat venue in the former YWCA building on Sutter Street.
They were a formidable pair. Williams was a forceful advocate, both for his own company and for black artists in general. His style was mercurial. He could be charming and witty or angrily confrontational, hectoring media representatives for more coverage and banning at least one critic from his theater.
Easter, who was no less persistent, never seemed to lose his temper. He worked quietly, tirelessly, marshaling arguments for the company and building links with other arts and advocacy organizations. Between them, by the end of the past century, the Hansberry had become the premier black theater in the state.
Williams had been determined to make his mark since childhood, according to the obituary released by the Hansberry. Born in 1950 in North Carolina, and raised in New Haven, Conn., the oldest of six children, he'd helped raise his sisters from the age of 10, when his father died. At 11, he wrote to President John Kennedy to express his admiration and determination to become president himself.
No sooner had Williams been exposed to theater in high school than he revised his goals. He told his mother, who survives him, that he was going to found his own theater company. Though he shelved those plans while majoring in business at the University of Connecticut, he headed for the Bay Area to pursue them soon thereafter.
It wasn't until Williams met Easter that everything fell into place. With Easter's support, Williams single-mindedly pursued his vision of seeing that black theater had its own place in the downtown theater district. He proclaimed that African American culture is American culture, and he devoted his life to demonstrating that fact.
He made his case. If some of the productions were lacking in quality, many were strong and some revelatory. Williams presented a broad range of material, from revivals of classics by James Baldwin and the theater's namesake, to musicals celebrating the likes of Duke Ellington, Eubie Blake and Bessie Smith, to new artists such as Rhodessa Jones and Roger Guenveur Smith.
An early, passionate champion of playwright August Wilson, whose output he compared to Shakespeare's, Williams had a hand in producing Wilson's entire 10-play cycle, either at the Hansberry or in cooperation with the American Conservatory Theater and other companies. That he and Easter, both of whom had cancer, died is tragic in itself, but their loss is even more profound coming at a time when the Hansberry had lost its longtime home and was on the verge of establishing a new one.
Both men died too young, Williams at 60 and Easter at 57. Easter's life was celebrated by the theater community at a memorial in June. Williams' family - his mother, Celestine Lyons; sisters; and their families - are planning a private memorial service. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the Lorraine Hansberry Theatre, 777 Jones St., San Francisco, CA 94109.
Theater looks to move forward
The untimely deaths of Stanley E. Williams and Quentin Easter, coming so close together, have left the Bay Area's arts community uncertain about the future of the theater they founded in 1981 and had led ever since. While Williams and Easter had made their Lorraine Hansberry Theatre the most highly regarded African American theater company in the state, they never built the kind of company infrastructure that would ensure it could continue without them.
The company's board of directors is stepping in to keep it alive.
"The theater will continue," says board President Albert Dixon. "These guys dedicated their lives to this theater, which to me is the jewel in the crown of theater in San Francisco. We are determined to make sure that their legacy does not end."
The board had already hired a new acting general manager, attorney Kate Stoia, a few days before Williams' death. With Stoia in place to take on Easter's managerial duties, the board has begun a national search for a new artistic director to assume Williams' role.
"Everything is there" to keep the company going, Dixon says. "It's a matter now of bringing in someone of real artistic vision to continue to grow the theater."
It won't be easy. The Hansberry has been homeless since it lost its 300-seat downtown theater to the Academy of Art University in 2007. It had just negotiated a lease to take over the 729-seat Post Street Theatre before Easter and Williams became ill in the spring, and the company had to cancel the arrangement and the rest of its season.
Dixon reaffirms the Hansberry's commitment to stage its truncated 2010-11 season, announced in June. The season consists of two productions of its own, both at Fort Mason's Southside Theater: "Joyful Noise," its annual "Gospel Celebration of Christmas," and "Fabulation," a new play by Lynn Nottage, directed by Ellen Sebastian Chang and starring the popular Margo Hall. In addition, Hansberry subscribers will be able to see American Conservatory Theater's staging of Tarell Alvin McCraney's "Marcus; or The Secret of Sweet" and Berkeley Rep's production of Nottage's "Ruined."
"We're financially sound," Dixon says, "and we are prepared to move forward."
