Liverpool Network Theatre Group
Central Liverpool
Liverpool Network Theatre Group was born out of the idea of theatre as a political force, with the power to change society for the better.
This was epitomized by the dedication of our former chair, Graham Frood, who sadly passed away in September 2003.
Network is committed to staging high quality productions, accessible to ordinary people. We hope the issues in our productions are relevant today, both in our more contemporary plays, and in our historical comedies.
Currently, the group stages three productions per year, while many of our members contribute ' on and off stage ' to other local community theatre productions.

Lucilla Dramatic Society
Crosby, Sefton
Since 1951, the company has been based at Lucilla House, 18 Victoria Road West, Crosby, Liverpool. We own this large, Victorian property, and with time and effort, both given abundantly by members, have turned it into an attractive and comfortable clubhouse. The coffee lounge, scenery workshop, studio theatre, green room and bar occupy the first two floors, with a 3rd floor storage area, and there is a small car park at the front.
Sometimes, we are asked by potential new members if an Audition is necessary before joining. The answer is no, definitely not! One of the reasons for this is that Lucilla offers many opportunities to be involved with drama other than 'treading the boards', and many people join to get involved in non-acting aspects of drama, such as those mentioned on our Who We Are & What We Do page. No auditions are held for our 'in house' productions.

The company began with the idea to showcase some of the most popular songs from musicals of the 21st century which became 'Thoroughly Modern Musicals'. With the production set in motion, plans for future shows began to develop. Joshua & Josephine began writing for an original musical called 'The Return of Neverland'. Based on J.M Barrie's Peter Pan, it tells the story of life in Neverland 30 years after Wendy left. 'The Return of Neverland' hopes to be the first in a long line of successful productions.

Crackdown on online racism, sexual abuse in the UK coming? Check now
The British government has abandoned a plan to force tech firms to remove internet content that is harmful but legal.

The British government has abandoned a plan to force tech firms to remove internet content that is harmful but legal, after the proposal drew strong criticism from lawmakers and civil liberties groups.
The UK on Tuesday defended its decision to water down the Online Safety Bill, an ambitious but controversial attempt to crack down on online racism, sexual abuse, bullying, fraud and other harmful material.
Similar efforts are underway in the European Union and the United States, but the UK's was one of the most sweeping. In its original form, the bill gave regulators wide-ranging powers to sanction digital and social media companies like Google, Facebook, Twitter and TikTok.
Critics had expressed concern that a requirement for the biggest platforms to remove "legal but harmful" content could lead to censorship and undermine free speech.
The Conservative government of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who took office last month, has now dropped that part of the bill, saying it could "over-criminalize" online content. The government hopes the change will be enough to get the bill through Parliament, where it has languished for 18 months, by mid-2023.
Digital Secretary Michelle Donelan said the change removed the risk that "tech firms or future governments could use the laws as a license to censor legitimate views."
"It was a creation of a quasi-legal category between illegal and legal," she told Sky News. "That's not what a government should be doing. It's confusing. It would create a different kind of set of rules online to offline in the legal sphere."
Instead, the bill says companies must set out clear terms of service, and stick to them. Companies will be free to allow adults to post and see offensive or harmful material, as long as it is not illegal. But platforms that pledge to ban racist, homophobic or other offensive content and then fail to live up to the promise can be fined up to 10 per cent of their annual turnover.
The legislation also requires firms to help people avoid seeing content that is legal but may be harmful — such as the glorification of eating disorders, misogyny and some other forms of abuse — through warnings, content moderation or other means.
Companies also will have to show how they enforce user age limits designed to keep children from seeing harmful material.
The bill still criminalizes some online activity, including cyberflashing — sending someone unwanted explicit images — and epilepsy trolling, sending flashing images that can trigger seizures. It also makes it an offense to assist or encourage self-harm, a step that follows a campaign by the family of Molly Russell, a 14-year-old who ended her life in 2017 after viewing self-harm and suicide content online.
Her father, Ian Russell, said he was relieved the stalled bill was moving forward at last. But he said it was "very hard to understand" why protections against harmful material had been watered down.
Donelan stressed that "legal but harmful" material would only be permitted for adults, and children would still be protected.
"The content that Molly Russell saw will not be allowed as a result of this bill," she said.

Christian Concert on Military Base Sparks Opposition
Posted on September 27, 2010 by Universal Life Church Monastery
Separation of church and state has once again come under challenge in the United States with a Christian music concert scheduled to take place on a U.S. military base. Perhaps the most important question raised in the debate over the military's actions is whether or not holding the concert violates the establishment clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
The proposed concert, "Rock the Fort", is to be held at Fort Bragg military base in North Carolina (perhaps a good choice of location for those wishing to weasel religion into government). It is also being sponsored by the right-wing, fundamentalist Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, which made an unequivocal statement as to the concert's evangelical agenda: on its Web site, the organization said the concert would serve as a "clear presentation of the Christian Gospel". In response to the proposed concert, Americans United for the Separation of Church and State sent a letter to U.S. military officials warning that the concert would constitute a form of proselytizing on government property, and would therefore violate the nation's constitution. Col. David Hillis, a Fort Bragg chaplain, even went so far as to send an invitation to local churches to help organize the event.
Defenders of the concert argue that holding a Christian concert on a military base does not necessarily violate the proscription against government establishment of religion. Graham's organization said in a promotional publication, "[a]ttendees will have an opportunity to respond to the Gospel Evangelistic message, be encouraged by Fort Bragg Chaplains [sic] and trained counselors from off post Churches and on post Chapels, and then be offered ongoing Biblical Spiritual Resiliency training at our military chapels and local churches"; meanwhile, Hillis maintained that attendance of the concert is voluntary, that it complies with military protocol, and that he would help organize religious events proposed by other faiths as well, and not just the Christian one.
Critics, including those with Americans United, maintain that the event clearly shows a preference for Christianity over other religions, and a blatant attempt to convert military personnel by exploiting a government platform. Perhaps ironically, one of the most vocal critics is himself a member of the clergy (which is not so strange for ministers of online churches such as Universal Life Church Monastery, which defends both freedom of and from religion). "It's not the Army's job to convert people to Christianity", said the Rev. Barry Lynn, director of Americans United. "This event is totally unacceptable and must be cancelled."
Both sides seem to have some good points. On one hand, if it is truly the intent of Hillis to accommodate all religious events on military property, and if attendance at such events is voluntary, the government, one might argue, cannot be said to be promoting a single state religion over another, and thus the constitution is not being violated. (The U.S. military has demonstrated some effort in accommodating all religions, as when the Air Force accommodated pagans with their own place of worship.) On the other hand, Hillis's claim of religious neutrality might be disingenuous, and the growing infiltration of Christianity into military events might constitute a slippery slope toward outright biased religious endorsement. For example, hypothetically speaking the military could compel its personnel to attend religious services, but not to participate in the liturgy, and thus claim it is not forcing religion on its personnel. But when this becomes routine, it could conceivably go a step further and actually compel personnel to participate in the service, but not to believe what they are being preached, claiming that church-state separation is still in place. But this does not change the fact that religion is still being forced on personnel on some level. Where does religious accommodation end and religious imposition begin?
As always, we invite our ministers to share their point of view on the matter. Is the United States military violating the constitutional guarantee of separation of church and state by holding on military property a Christian rock concert with the clear aim of promoting a particular theology or religious viewpoint? Should the problem be resolved by banning all religious events on military property?

Middlebury Announces Energy2028 Plan to Address Threat of Climate Change
Middlebury's 10-year plan will shift the College campus to 100 percent renewable energy.
Recognizing the profound threat of climate change, Middlebury College today announced a 10-year commitment that will put the institution on a path toward a complete shift to renewable energy to power and heat its central campus. The plan also sets ambitious goals to reduce energy consumption, phase out direct fossil fuel investments in the endowment, and, significantly, to create new educational programs and opportunities that will help to empower future generations of environmental leaders.
The Middlebury Board of Trustees unanimously endorsed the plan in a vote at its winter meeting on Saturday, January 26.
The move is a renewal of the Vermont institution's decades-long commitment to environmental leadership, which began with the creation of the country's first undergraduate environmental studies program in 1965. Three years ago, Middlebury College fulfilled another purposeful commitment to become the largest U.S. campus to achieve carbon neutrality without the use of purchased credits.
"After much study and discussion, and with the input, encouragement, and even passionate advocacy of many students, faculty, staff, and alumni, the board today has taken a bold step to shape this institution's future," said Middlebury President Laurie L. Patton. "This plan is true to Middlebury's culture and values. It is bold and aspirational while remaining realistic and highly practical. It acknowledges that we do not have all the solutions at our disposal at this moment to meet these goals, but it commits us to make every effort to do so. I could not be prouder or more inspired by our institution than I am today."
Middlebury's Energy2028 plan has four primary components:
A commitment to renewable energy
Middlebury will transition to 100 percent renewable energy sources—not derived from fossil fuels—for electric and thermal power for its core Vermont campus by the end of 2028.
Already, Middlebury's on-campus biomass gasification plant, completed in 2008, mainly burns locally sourced wood chips and meets most of the heating and cooling needs for those buildings that are connected to the central plant. The facility also cogenerates 15 to 20 percent of Middlebury's electricity—all while remaining carbon neutral.
Under the plan announced today, Middlebury will shift to use renewable natural gas (RNG) and eliminate the use of natural gas, a fossil fuel, as a supplemental energy source for the biomass plant. RNG is generated using cow manure and processed food waste, and Middlebury is partnering on a proposed digester project in nearby Salisbury, Vermont.
Renewable electricity generation already accounts for approximately 50 percent of Middlebury's usage. Future investments in renewable sources such as solar and, possibly, hydropower, will increase that figure to the goal of 100 percent. In doing this, Middlebury will seek, wherever possible, to make those investments in Vermont.
A commitment to energy conservation
Middlebury will reduce energy consumption on its core campus by 25 percent by 2028.
Meeting this goal will require changes to campus infrastructure as well as behavioral changes that contribute to consumption. Middlebury plans to renovate and update several large academic buildings in the next five years, and each of those projects will produce significant improvements on energy efficiency. The plan also calls for improved energy-use monitoring across campus.
The institution is also weighing the introduction of an internal carbon tax that would add a levy to certain activities that carry a high carbon impact. In addition to encouraging more thoughtful and energy-efficient alternatives, the fees collected would be used to fund conservation projects.
A commitment to reduce fossil fuel investments in the endowment
Middlebury will reduce the number and value of fossil fuel investments in its endowment. That endowment, which was valued on December 31, 2018, at $1.056 billion, is managed by Investure, a firm based in Charlottesville, Virginia, that manages the endowments of colleges, universities, and foundations with a total value of more than $13 billion. Investure began managing the Middlebury endowment on May 31, 2005.
Middlebury, in collaboration with Investure, will begin a phase-out of direct fossil fuel investments in the endowment that will reduce the value of those investments by 25 percent in 5 years, 50 percent in 8 years and, within 15 years, eliminate such investments entirely. In addition, beginning in mid-2019, Investure will not directly invest any new dollars on Middlebury's behalf in specialized private investment funds that focus on oil and gas.
For the purposes of Energy2028, Middlebury has defined direct investments as 1) those investments held by specialist managers who maintain an investment focus on fossil fuel companies, and 2) specialist fossil fuel index funds. Combined, these direct investments equal about 4 percent of the endowment's value.
The commitment does not apply to endowment positions in general equity funds that may, from time to time, contain small holdings of fossil fuel investments in their portfolios. Similarly, it does not apply to broad-based market index funds, which typically do include some fossil fuel investments. These investments account for only about 1 percent of the endowment.
For the purposes of Energy2028, Middlebury has defined fossil fuel companies as those whose core business is oil and gas exploration and/or production, coal mining, and those companies whose primary business is oil and gas equipment, services and/or pipelines.
To ensure that the phase-out does not have a significant effect on the performance of Middlebury's endowment, Middlebury and Investure have established realistic and reasonable targets to prudently reduce existing fossil fuel exposure over time.
Middlebury also will direct Investure to increase its position in sustainable investments.
A commitment to educational opportunities
Middlebury will engage faculty, staff, and students across all of its schools and programs in educational and research opportunities that will help to influence the execution of the plan and its continuing evolution. Middlebury excels at providing immersive learning experiences for students, not just in the classroom but in the lab, in the field, and alongside community partners, and Energy2028 will provide students with opportunities to address today's most challenging problems in meaningful ways.
"Middlebury students have been engaged in Energy2028 from its very outset, and we want to ensure that engagement continues," said Patton. "We see students making critical and creative contributions through course work with faculty mentors, independent projects, internships, and in partnership with the Sustainable Solutions Lab. Middlebury faculty at all of our schools will lead in making immersive, experiential education an essential part of Energy2028."
Middlebury Board Chair Kim Parizeau called Energy2028 a "transformational moment" for the institution.
"While Middlebury has long been a champion of environmental sustainability, our actions today are a signal of even broader leadership at all levels of the institution," Parizeau said. "The Board of Trustees has been deeply engaged in conversation with students, faculty, and staff for a long time, and we owe those communities a debt of gratitude for their passion, encouragement, and understanding of the complexities involved with creating a plan as far-reaching as this one."
Middlebury announced the Energy2028 initiative at an open meeting for faculty, students, and staff on January 29.
Middlebury has updated its sustainability website to provide details on Energy2028. It will use this site to track institutional progress.

Blatter: Racism should be settled with a handshake
FIFA president Sepp Blatter has claimed that football has no problem with racism on the pitch and said that any problems should be settled with a handshake. But his lax attitude to racist abuse has drawn criticism from those inside and outside the game. Professional Footballers' Association boss Gordon Taylor and sports minister Hugh Robertson have both called for Blatter to resign.
Speaking to CNN World Sport Blatter was asked if he thought on-field racism was a problem: "I would deny it. There is no racism. There is maybe one of the players towards another – he has a word or a gesture which is not the correct one.
"But the one who is affected by that, he should say 'this is a game'. We are in a game, and at the end of the game, we shake hands, and this can happen, because we have worked so hard against racism and discrimination."
Senior figures inside and outside the football industry seized on Blatter's comments with PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor branding them "disgraceful" while sports minister Hugh Robertson said he was appalled.
Taylor told Radio 4's Today Programme: "I just feel it's the straw that broke the camel's back. When you see the corruption they've had at FIFA, the comments he made about homosexuals not going to Qatar, the way he talked about women's football, the style of the arrangements for the World Cup, the fact he won't have technology. I think it's really time to move over for Michel Platini."
Professionals past and present called on Blatter to resign with Blackburn Rovers striker Jason Roberts saying "I am absolutely disgusted, lost for words, I cannot believe he has said something like that with all the issues that have gone on. I am absolutely fuming."
Broadcaster and ex-pro Mark Bright said he was "staggered" by the comments while Rio Ferdinand Tweeted Blatter directly to criticise the FIFA boss.
Kick It Out said: "These comments are worryingly out of touch. Shaking hands to compensate for a racial slur is not what the game has signed up to, and trivialises the work of campaigns like Kick It Out, which has been in the vanguard of rooting out discrimination and unacceptable behaviour in our game for the best part of two decades.
"High-profile incidents have brought the issue of racism back into sharp focus. But complaints are still being lodged at grassroots level. Shaking hands doesn't resonate with the zero-tolerance approach we encourage and certainly wouldn't resonate with the victim of the abuse.
"Report the incident to the regulatory body, and the investigation process begins. If it's found to be proven, action must be taken. New challenges and questions are being posed in this field every day. But leadership is needed to make headway. And comments like this don't help in the ultimate goal of kicking racism out football and making it a discrimination free-zone."
Blatter's clumsy attempts to back track haven't stemmed the flow of criticism – especially as they only seem reiterate the quotes which landed him in trouble.
"My comments have been misunderstood. What I wanted to express is that, as football players, during a match, you have 'battles' with your opponents, and sometimes things are done which are wrong.
"But, normally, at the end of the match, you apologise to your opponent if you had a confrontation during the match, you shake hands, and when the game is over, it is over," said Blatter.
Raj Chandarana, who leads the FSF's work on diversity, called on Blatter to quit, saying: "The remarks made by the FIFA president about the acceptability of racist 'banter' in football are totally unacceptable. Football has made great strides since the 1970s to combat racism and the FSF backs calls from the sports minister Hugh Robertson, and others, for Mr Blatter to be removed from FIFA.
"The overwhelming majority of English and Welsh football fans will be disgusted by these remarks. Mr Blatter's comments must not be allowed to become license for a small minority to use racism in the name of 'banter'."

28 February 2017 Tuesday 15:36
WASHINGTON — Republicans confronted a conservative rebellion in their own party Tuesday over their long-promised plans to repeal and replace the health care law, and beseeched President Donald Trump to settle the dispute in his first speech to a joint session of Congress.
"He's the leader on this issue right now; he's the one that's got to hold us together," said Rep. Dennis Ross of Florida as he left a morning meeting during which he said Republican leaders urged the rank-and-file to "'stay strong'" on the issue and told them: "'Now is not the time to back down."
The pep talk from leadership came amid signs of serious trouble for the emerging House GOP health care plan even before legislation is officially released. Conservatives are objecting to new tax credits that would help consumers buy health care, arguing they amount to a costly new entitlement.
Influential House conservatives say there's no way the approach can pass the House.
The dispute comes a month into Trump's presidency, and seven years after the Affordable Care Act passed a Democratic-controlled Congress with Barack Obama in the White House. Now the Republicans are in charge of the White House and Congress. Yet, having spent all those intervening years promising to uproot the law and replace it with something better, they find themselves flailing and divided at the moment of truth.
Most Republicans and aides professed to have little insight into what Trump would say Tuesday night, and to what extent he would endorse their plan, though several all but begged him to do so.
"What the president can say is that the plan that gets presented to the conference is the one you need to vote 'yes' on," said GOP Rep. Bill Flores of Texas. "That's how he can be helpful."
House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin sought to put a positive face on the divisions.
"You're going to have a lot of churning on any kind of legislative product like this," Ryan said. "This is a plan that we are all working on together, the House, the Senate and the White House, so there aren't rival plans."
"I feel at the end of the day when we get everything done and right, we're going to be unified," Ryan said.
For now, most evidence is to the contrary.
After a recess week filled with raucous town hall meetings, lawmakers' return to the Capitol this week immediately put deep divisions on display. The two leading conservative groups in the House both announced their opposition to House leadership health care plans based on a leaked draft and reports that the bill would cost more than expected while covering fewer people than the Affordable Care Act.
And three key conservative senators, Mike Lee of Utah, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Ted Cruz of Texas, added their voices in opposition, too, announcing that they will resist "Obamacare Lite" and "accept nothing less than full repeal of Obamacare."
Amid the high-profile defections, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky summoned Republicans to a meeting Wednesday afternoon to hash things out.
Health care is far from the only issue dividing Republicans. Plans to overhaul the tax code have them tied in knots, and senior lawmakers are busy throwing cold water on Trump's budget proposal, which was made public in broad outlines on Monday. The budget envisions a huge $54 billion surge in U.S. military spending while slashing domestic programs and foreign aid.
GOP Rep. Mike Simpson of Idaho, a senior member of the Appropriations Committee, said the budget as presented could not possibly pass the House.
"No, no. There's a lot of members that have a lot of interest in a lot of these programs," Simpson said. "There's more to our government than just defense."
Yet for defense hawks, Trump's Pentagon spending didn't go far enough. Sen. John McCain of Arizona complained that Trump's plans represented just a small increase over Obama's own Pentagon wish list.
And, Trump's budget would leave large deficits intact while sparing Social Security and Medicare, the entitlements that make up an enormous and growing share of the federal budget. That puts Trump in direct conflict with Ryan and other leading Republicans who've long advocated adjusting entitlement programs to put them on a more sustainable footing and get deficits under control.
Ryan himself, pressed on whether he still favored reforming entitlements, something that has been his legislative calling card for years, claimed that repealing and replacing Obamacare actually qualifies as entitlement reform.
Republicans hope for clarity on all these issues and more from Trump Tuesday night.
"More than anyone else the president will drive what happens next," said GOP Rep. Mark Sanford of South Carolina.
Unlike the inauguration, Democrats plan to attend the speech, with women in the House wearing white to honor the suffrage movement and also to "stand in solidarity with the women of our nation."

OSHKOSH – On Sunday and Monday, nearly 3,000 students will move into the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh campus residence halls.
More than 3,200 beds, 4,000 vehicles, 9,000 color-coded materials and 200 traffic cones will facilitate a smooth move-in experience for students, according to the university. It is a process that usually takes just 15 minutes from arriving on campus to getting into dormitory rooms, said Liz Morrell, associate director of residence life.
"I think UW-Oshkosh has found such great success with the centralized move-in given our physical campus layout and just our relationship with the city," Morrell said. "The positive relationship that UW-Oshkosh enjoys with the city of Oshkosh has been absolutely critical to developing a move-in process that runs so smoothly. I think that's something very unique to our campus."

Morrell and other staff members involved in the move-in process started planning for 2018 move-in almost a year ago. The staff takes a three-week break following move-in and begins planning for the next year in October. The extensive planning allows for an easier experience for parents and students.
One of the most important things to coordinate is traffic patterns to prevent backing up city streets, said Rob Babcock, the university's new residence life director.
Staff also has worked to better inform campus neighbors about the move-in process to make city impact as minimal as possible, Morrell said. The university works with both campus police and the Oshkosh Police Department to monitor street rerouting and busy intersections.
This will be Morrell's sixth move-in with the university, and for her, the best part of the weekend is seeing the family interactions between students and parents but also students at their new UW-Oshkosh family.
"Move-in is that first homecoming to UW-Oshkosh where you have the entire campus community coming together to welcome our students and their families," she said. "It really is this phenomenal emotional transition, not only for our students, but for their families as they settle into their new homes."
Tips from UW Oshkosh staff to have the best move-in experience
Take advantage of the many different people volunteering and working during move-in weekend. The group My Titans will help with the move-in process as well as residence staff, community assistants and health advocates, Babcock said. "If a parent or a student is feeling a little bit lost or a little bit overwhelmed, the staff is there precisely to help them."
"Don't bring what you don't need," Miller said. Students share rooms at the residence halls with two twin beds in most of the residence hall rooms. Miller suggests waiting to bring winter gear and only bring a few pair of shoes. "You can always bring more stuff later and throughout the year as you need."
"Be efficient in how you pack," Miller said. He suggests label all your boxes with your name and room number as soon as you get it to avoid someone else mistaking your bag for theirs.
Arrive on time, Morrell said. "We have things very well planned out, so we do rely on folks arriving at their selected time."
Dress appropriately, Morrell said. Most of the residence halls do not have air conditioning, so dress according to the weather. Stay hydrated and take care of your own needs.
All three staff members said the most important advice for move-in weekend is about creating the best experience for students and families.
"Embrace everything that this first week has to offer," Miller said. "Embrace meeting new people even if it scares you. Embrace trying new things even if you're not used to it. Go to all the events. Don't skip anything, and don't stay in your room."
Don't forget to enjoy the experience, Morrell said. "It will really be over so quickly, so take that moment to pause and take it all in." She suggests taking lots of photos throughout the move-in process to preserve those memories.
"Make the most of all that this new beginning has to offer and make UW-Oshkosh you home and your own place and invest in it," Miller said.

Creating interactive web maps has never been easier
How to Stack Layers on a Web Map
Written by Chris Brown in Web Mapping » Data Sourcing and Preparation Guide
Welcome to Part 4 of Mango's video tutorial series on sourcing and preparing map ready data.
The series will help you to source third party geospatial data for your mapping projects, clean and prepare them for upload to an online GIS mapping platform, and visualizing your data on interactive web maps.
This video focuses on the benefits of stacking layers and layer groups on your web maps to aid understanding of the visualizations, allow users to toggle layers on and off, and increase load performance of your maps.
If this is your first time viewing this series, we recommend you start with Video 1: Why Maps are Superior to Spreadsheets.
To complete these tutorials, you'll need to download QGIS, and sign up for a free 30-day trial of Mango.

Hello and welcome back!
In the previous video in the series we showed you how to take the data set where you joined your spreadsheet and we showed you how to clean up that dataset, we showed you how to remove any unwanted columns, and we also showed you how to remove any features from the dataset that you're not interested in, and we then uploaded that clean data set to Mango.
Now we have that data in Mango, we're going to build upon it, and I'm going to show you how you can clean things up in Mango and how you can add additional layers to your map in order to show the various visualizations that were available in the demo that I showed you earlier in the series.
So you remember earlier in the series when we click on the feature we get a nice clean info window like this, and we also have supplemental layers such as population and household income.
So let's go back to the Mango administration panel and let's see how we can build upon this map.
Now, the first thing that we want to do is let's change some of the styling for this first layer. So to do that we're going to go into layers then we're going to go to the settings for the sales layer.
Now what I'd like to do is I would like to add some transparency to the film so that we can clearly see the background map. So I'm going to change the opacity to 70 percent, and what I'm also going to do is I'm going to configure the pop-up that's displayed when we click on a county.
Now the basic pop up setting which is default is just going to list all of the attributes and their values.
I think what we'd like to do is we'd like to clean that up a little so what we're going to do first is we're going to have a look at the formatting, so the GEOID that's important for us when we're doing administrative tasks such as joins but isn't really important to the end user so we're going to we're going to hide that feature.
The second thing that we're going to look at is the name so let's capitalize that. Now in the formatting you can have auto detects which means Mango will decide for you what value it is what type of value is whether it's text or a date or a number value.
The next one we have is sales, and then we have population, and we have median household income.
Now medium whole household income is a dollar value so I'm going to select dollars, and then the formatting inside Mango will show that as a dollar value.
OK the next step is I want to edit; we're going to use a custom pop up. A custom pop-up allows us to completely modify how the pop-up will look.
We can we can use an editor in order to change the formatting and we can also do things like include charts, videos, images, and links.
We're going to keep it simple for this one for the name we're just going to use the county name, and then what we're going to do is we're going to display this data in a table. So we go to insert table; we are going to have three rows and 2 columns. Insert, and we can have the first row called sales, and we're going to insert the sales value.
So when you see in curly braces like this it just means it inserts a variable and we can see a preview of what it will look like here.
The second one will be population and we'll insert the population value in that cell, and then the last one will be median household income, and once again we'll insert that as an attribute, and we don't need these ones down here anymore let's just move that back up and as we can see now we have the name of the county in the top and then we have a nice clean table.
So let's press save, and save again. As we can see, we now have transparency on the sales layer, so we can see the underlying base map, and also if we click on one of the features here we have Bexar County and now we can see the attribute to formatted as a nice table.
So the next thing we're going to do is we're going to show the additional layers of the average household income, and also the population data.
So to do that we click on layers we click add layer. Now we don't need to upload the dataset again - we can just use the dataset that we've already previously uploaded.
So using the same dataset, we want to give it a different name so we're going to make another layer for population, so we'll just call that a population, and then for the style we also want to use a quantity legend, and for the class breaks we're going to use the population value, and for the color ramp we obviously want to use a different color so that it doesn't clash with the red ramp that were using for the sales data.
So let's choose blue. We'll give the outline a dark grey color again, and one other thing that we want to do we've already configured the pop-up for the sales data. Now when we have multiple layers stacked up on top of each other, when we click on the map it will open a pop-up for each one of those layers.
Now as the sales data, the population data, and the income data all contain the same attribute data, we don't need a pop up for each one, so we're going to configure no pop up and, then we're going to press Save.
Now as you can see we now have the population data, but the problem is we can't turn off the population data to see the sales data. So what we need to do is we need to use a layer group.
So we go to layers, and we press add layer group. Now a layer group is a group of one or more layers that can be turned on or off in the legend, so we're going to drag the population layer up into that layer group, and then we'll see that the map automatically gets updated, and now we have the sales data and the population data in different layer groups so they can be turned off separately in the legend.
So now we just need to add the average household income data so once again we go into layer settings we press add layer, we choose the sales data again, and this time let's call this layer median household income.
For the style, it's going to be a quantity legend again. We're going to use the income column, and we're going to choose a color ramp that we haven't used already let's go with a green. I'm going to change the outline to a dark grey so it's consistent with the other layers, and once again I'm going to disable the pop up for this layer. So now I press save.
Now as you can see once again it's put them in the same layer group, so we're going to add one more layer group and we're going to move that medium household income layer into its own layer group.
Now as you can see we now have the median household income so now our map is starting to take shape and it's looking similar to the demo map that we showed to you at the beginning of this video series.
The one thing that we've got left to add is adding the points of our dealership locations and also adding the query tool, and we'll be doing that in the next video.

Star Trek: Titan
Sword of Damocles
Author: Geoffrey Thorne
RRP: £6.99, US $7.99, Cdn $9.50
ISBN-13: 978 1 4165 2694 0

Available 07 January 2008
Titan's travels take it to a world at the edge of reason. Orisha is a planet whose people have lived for centuries beneath an unfathomable celestial body. From the moment it first appeared, "the Eye" was thought to be something unnatural, an ill omen that has made them feel watched, exposed, vulnerable - provoking a primal fear that has steered the course of their civilization. Many are convinced it represents an intelligence that is studying their world... and perhaps waiting to destroy it. But the secret behind the Eye threatens Titan as well as Orisha - and it holds a special meaning for one particular member of Riker's crew, whose lifelong quest to balance faith and scientific truth is tested against the harsh, unblinking glare of inevitability...
Following a gap of nearly two years, Titan is back, this time written by first-time novelist Geoffrey Thorne.
The story is a contentious one, especially when it comes to matters of faith. Both sides of the argument are presented, so as to try and appease believers and non-believers alike, but in so doing there is a risk of alienating both groups. The downside of religion is presented in the insectoid shape of the Orishans, who live in fear of punishment by their god and will do anything to avoid the Eye's wrath, including going to war with their rival clans. However, even under such conditions, free will shines through, as a number of Orishans are seen to doubt the divinity of the Eye. Providing a counterbalance to this oppressive and self-destructive regime is Titan's Bajoran Science Officer Jaza Najem, whose faith in his peoples' Prophets is explored via various flashbacks. But even his views are challenged, particularly by another fascinating alien: the ship's new Selenian crewmember, the golden-skinned Y'Lira Modan.
Najem's actions, which are central to the plot, are also contentious, as he becomes personally involved in Orisha's cultural development, against Starfleet policy. However, here he is acting as an instrument not of Starfleet but of the higher authority of the Prophets, and it can be argued that he is simply attempting to minimize the impact of damage that has already been done. Even so, I doubt Gene Roddenberry would have approved.
Nor would he have approved of Will Riker's (albeit brief) thirst for revenge, when he believes that his wife has been killed.
Not that this is necessarily a bad thing (Roddenberry's disapproval, I mean, not the potential loss of Deanna Troi). After all, Roddenberry disliked conflict between his Next Generation Starfleet crewmembers, yet character conflict makes for good stories. We get plenty of conflict here, as Riker and Troi's marriage hits the rocks, First Officer Christine Vale increasingly doubts their efficacy as officers as a result, and Chief Engineer Xin Ra-Havreii becomes ever more erratic as he is troubled by his inner demons following the Luna disaster.
Thorne's plot somehow manages to be both predictable and confusing. I found much of the science surrounding the Eye and its spatiotemporal effects rather difficult to grasp. Conversely, a development that seems intended as a major twist (the supposed destruction of Titan) didn't have me fooled for a moment (given that Titan is responding to a signal from one of its sister ships, the Charon, it's hardly a surprise that the wreckage of a Luna-class starship discovered by the shuttlecraft Ellington should turn out to be that of the Charon). [Highlight the missing text to reveal the spoilers.]
There are also more than a few typographical errors, including some disagreement as to whether the vessel is travelling at warp two or warp three. The Ellington appears to be fitted with "breaking thrusters" - I presume that the author means "braking thrusters", rather than thrusters that break things.
Despite these flaws, and the fact that the story is rather slow to kick off, Sword of Damocles is ultimately rewarding. Though it takes a while to get to the point, Thorne's Sword is sharp enough to be worth keeping an eye (or even an Eye) out for.

Like Steve Jobs and Apple after him, Engelbart had the vision to not only describe what computers might be capable of, like a science fiction writer would, but to actually show it off in this "Mother of All Demo's." To put it another way, he didn't just help people foresee the future, he helped them actually see it.
Skip to 54:00 and check it out for a few minutes. Along with a mouse, they basically demonstrate hyperlinks, which seems pretty blase now, but if you can imagine what computers were like in 1968 – "impersonal boxes that read punched cards, whir[red] awhile, then spit out reams of teletype paper," according to Wired, this demonstration must have been absolutely otherworldly. He also shows off things like windows and version control and text and graphics on the same screen. This is mind-altering stuff. It just wasn't what people thought of.
There's a great breakdown of all the individual sections of the demo here: http://sloan.stanford.edu/mousesite/1968Demo.html, that's at least worth scrolling through to get a sense of how amazing this video really was, and how impactful.
Engelbart was working to improve the interaction of people and computers–basically, trying to make people work better and smarter through technology.
Our company has a much, much smaller goal, but one that I think Engelbart would appreciate. If a computer can do the hard work for you, why not make programming easier? Why not allow anyone to create their own applications? Why not show people that they can do more with computers by showing them the future instead of just telling them about it.
I like to think that it's our job here at Seth Turin Media, Inc, to present ideas that no one has thought of yet. Our goal isn't financial success, but changing the world.

The 2020 Presidential Election is November 3, 2020
Whether it's your first or 50th time voting, it's good to review the basics to make sure that everything goes smoothly.
As has been the case since 1972, Iowa will hold the first presidential nominating contest in 2020. Its caucuses will be held on February 3. This will be followed by February contests in the other traditionally early voting states of New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina. Super Tuesday follows on March 3. That date will be even more prominent in 2020 as California moves up its traditional June primary. By the end of March, events covering well over 50% of each party's delegates will have taken place. The Democratic convention is in July, with the GOP following in August. The 2020 presidential election is scheduled for November 3.
The election calendar below includes dates – where known - for state primary and caucus events, party conventions and presidential debates. Purple indicates both parties are holding an event on that date. Use the links below the calendar for more details by state. CLICK HERE
1.Register to vote
Click here to make sure that you are registered
2. Find your polling place
If you are unsure of your polling place, click here to locate it.
3. Bring ID
You may be asked to show ID, so bring one of the following with you: Driver's license, Military or other Government ID, Student or Job ID, Store Membership Card, United States Passport, Or Bank statement, Car registration, Government check or document, Driver's license, Rent receipt, Sample Ballot, Utility bill, or any other official document"
If you have any question about voting before election day, contact the election office in your county.
If you any problems voting on election day, ask for a vote by mail ballot to vote ahead. Ballots are mailed out well ahead of Election Day, and thus voters have an "election period," not just a single day, to vote. All vote by mail ballots can be thought of as absentee voting for everyone. This system is also referred to as "vote by mail or VBM."

Hello Friends! Well, 2018 was a wild ride full of many ups and downs. And lets face it, 2019 won't be any different! That's life and it's beautiful and exciting and maddening and so many other amazing things!
In lieu of working on the Vancouver guitars this weekend I decided that I needed an actual weekend and I spent Saturday and today catching up on things that have been neglected and left bobbing in the wake of my guitar business. I went to the gym for the first time in about 4 months. Nicole and I went for a hike. We prepped a weeks worth of delicious and healthy food (which is something we've always enjoyed doing together). I helped my father-in-law install some trim in the addition they're putting on their house. Basically, I popped into the shop long enough to keep the humidifiers going this weekend, and that's it.
Time is my biggest struggle and has been for my entire adult life so far. It's not an easy thing to do, building guitars from scratch, let alone trying to do it as a business! But I love it indeed and feel so incredibly fortunate to not only do this but have an amazing support system around me. For instance, this video above. My incredibly and ever supportive wife made this for me back in 2015. She's been in my corner tackling media since the beginning. I still remember the first MySpace page she made for me!! Yea, it was that long ago kids. She's built every website I've had since the beginning, taken countless photos, sacrificed stability, money, time and well, ME. It takes a lot to start a business, especially when you have to do it while providing an income working full time elsewhere. We've made it work through the years and while there have been a few bumps we are happy and strong and enjoying life together.
I recently went back to work full time. For the time being, the focus needs to be on putting everything I can back into the business. If you've been following along on social media and wondered why my posts have slowed way down, that is why. As time in the shop became more scarce it also became more precious and so it didn't occur to me as often to pick up the camera and document what I was doing. I do however love sharing what's going on in the shop with you all and documenting the progress, so I'm making a commitment to keep up with posting at least once a day in 2019.
The next thing on my to-do list is to make a list of fixtures, jigs and tooling that should help me to be more productive while I am in the shop as well as trying to arrange the processes in a way that creates positive work flow and synergy. The time in the shop isn't about to increase, so I need to increase my productivity whilst I'm there. And that's just one of many exciting things I have to share in the coming months. Along with making a fresh batch of jigs and fixtures to share, I will be doing something very special for guitar No. 50 that I absolutely cannot wait to share!
As I look ahead into 2019 I can't help but smile. I watch this video and I'm reminded of the passion and drive I have for Lutherie. I hope you all feel the same way, whatever your drive is, and that you have an amazing year of dreams, success, love and the ability to hold your head high and keep your hopes higher during the inevitable struggles.
