Sancho, Pogba, Van de Beek: Man Utd's most expensive signings ranked by value for money
By Kobe Tong
Published: 24 Jul 2021, 13:22
Manchester United have officially opened their war chest for the 2021/22 season.
Man Utd complete Sancho detail
The Red Devils completed the signing of Jadon Sancho on Friday afternoon for a fee in the region of €85 million, duly making him one of the most expensive purchases in Premier League history.
In fact, United have loosened their pursestrings so many times since Sir Alex Ferguson hung up his hairdryer that Sancho finds himself in good company when it comes to record-breaking transfers.
Besides, you only have to look at the mega-money fees that were footed for the likes of Paul Pogba, Harry Maguire and Romelu Lukaku to see that United aren't afraid to splash the cash.
OFFICIAL! Solskjaer signs news Man Utd deal (Football Terrace)
Man Utd's heavy spending
However, as United fans know all-too well, eye-watering price tags are by no means a guarantee of success at the 'Theatre of Dreams' with some signings crumbling under the weight of expectation.
Fans of the English game will be keeping their fingers crossed that won't be the case for Sancho, but we wanted to take a closer look at the recent precedent for United arrivals nonetheless.
To do so, we've turned to the data gurus at Transfermarkt to establish the 20 most expensive signings in United history and the exact fee that the Red Devils stumped up for the move.
From there, we've put on our analytical glasses to assess how each signing should be judged based on their price tag across sections ranging from 'absolute bargain' to 'very overpriced.'
What shirt number does Mason Greenwood wear for Manchester United?
Have Man Utd got value for their money?
Now, it's worth stressing how much we're focusing on the fee here because a player being called 'overpriced' is not inherently a slight on them as an athlete, but rather United's transfer strategy.
To give you an example: Javier Hernandez was a brilliantly underrated player for United, but in an imaginary world where he was signed for £70 million, then he would still go under 'overpriced'.
Oh, and it's also worth noting that we are contextualising how inordinately expensive or cheap the respective transfer fees were at the time of the signing.
Ranking Man Utd's most expensive buys
But enough housekeeping and disclaimers, let's jump into the meat and bones of our analysis by checking out our ranking of United's 20 most expensive signings by their value for money:
Absolute bargain
Bruno Fernandes - £56.70 million
Wayne Rooney - £33.30 million
There's no getting away from the fact that Fernandes has been playing like a £120 million player since he signed for United, so his paltry transfer fee keeps looking cheaper and cheaper by the day.
As for Rooney, there's no denying that his fee was insanely expensive for a teenager at the time but come on, where else can we put a club's record-signing that was purchased for 'only' £33 million?
Underpriced
Ander Herrera - £32.40 million
Rio Ferdinand - £41.40 million
Herrera is one of the most underrated signings of the post-Ferguson era and given the fees that United have paid over the last decade, you have to say that £32 million was a steal for the Spaniard.
Given that Ferdinand arrived in a world-record deal for a defender, we'd be ludicrous to call him an 'absolute bargain', but he still far exceeded expectations by becoming a bona fide icon at United.
Bang on the money
Jadon Sancho - £76.50 million
Juan Mata - £40.26 million
Nemanja Matic - £40.23 million
Donny van de Beek - £35.10 million
Dimitar Berbatov - £34.20 million
Luke Shaw - £33.75 million
Aaron Wan-Bissaka - £49.50 million
While Sancho's fee might seem a little steep to some, we're talking about one of the world's most exciting young players here who amassed more than 100 goal contributions for Borussia Dortmund.
Mata and Matic might be well past their best coming into the 2021/22 season, but their price tags in the region of £40 million are broadly fair considering their contributions to United over the years.
Van de Beek lands in this category by default because he simply hasn't been given enough game time to prove himself and £35 million is pretty darn reasonable for a player of his undoubted quality.
While there's an argument to be had that Berbatov was overpriced, we're giving him the benefit of the doubt by way of reaching dizzying heights during his Golden-Boot winning season in 2010/11.
Shaw will rise into the 'underpriced' section at the rate he's going, but we've got to balance out his tougher moments at United considering he was bought with a world-record fee for a teenager.
Perhaps we've been a little kind on Wan-Bissaka, but fees in the region of £50 million have become par for the course when it comes to full-backs and he's a made a strong start to life at Old Trafford.
Paul Pogba - £94.50 million
Harry Maguire - £78.30 million
Romelu Lukaku - £76.23 million
Anthony Martial - £54.00 million
Fred - £53.10 million
Henrikh Mkhitaryan - £37.80 million
Eric Bailly - £34.20 million
Let's make one thing crystal clear: we are not saying that Pogba and Maguire have been poor for United, quite the contrary, because the pair have been world-class for great swathes of their spells.
However, have they become the world's best player and the globe's leading defender in the way that their transfer fees similarly topped the charts?
The answer, by little fault of their own, is a pretty amicable 'no' and one that's substantiated by Transfermarkt data placing them both within the most overpriced starting XI in football history.
Meanwhile, although Lukaku's time at Old Trafford is severely underrated, you'd be hard-pressed to argue that he justified himself as the most expensive centre-forward in Premier League.
Similarly, now that Martial is 25 years old and still not reaching the dizzying heights expected of him, the argument that £54 million has been a ludicrous, long-term investment is increasingly wilting.
And rounding off this inevitably-controversial tier are the trio of Fred, Mkhitaryan and Bailly who, despite all showing flashes of brilliance, are pretty universally accepted as having been overpriced.
Very overpriced
Angel Di Maria - £67.50 million
Juan Sebastian Veron - £38.34 million
There's an alarming amount that these two players have in common from their Argentine nationality to the fact their time at United has become marred with infamy.
Neither player performed as poorly at Old Trafford as many fans would have you believe, but at the end of the day, they didn't come within a lightyear of justifying their British-transfer-record price tags.
So, there you have it, quite the range of coups and cock-ups in the recent history of United's transfer spending. Be sure to let us know how you think they should be ranked across our social channels.

The International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, is providing a $15m loan mainly in Egyptian pounds to Vinavil Egypt for Chemicals, a leading manufacturer of construction-related materials, to help the company boost production and create jobs, according to a press statement on Wednesday.
The statement said that the IFC's financing will help the company double its annual production of chemical binders and emulsions, which are used in paints for industrial and commercial projects. The IFC is also addressing the need for local currency financing by providing the loan largely in Egyptian pounds, a first for the organisation. This will address Vinavil Egypt's need for flexible borrowing in both pounds and dollars, and create a model for future multi-currency loans.
"The flexibility of borrowing in both Egyptian pounds and dollars will enable our company to make long-term capital investments and support our working capital," said Gianmaria Palazzolo, managing director at Vinavil Egypt, adding, "the financing from the IFC will help us expand in Egypt and become a regional exporter of specialty construction chemicals, creating jobs, especially for highly skilled workers."
The financing is part of the IFC's efforts to boost the development of Egypt's construction industry, an important source of employment and a key economic driver. It accounts for more than 4% of Egypt's GDP and employs 12% of Egyptian workers. The industry is also one of the country's fastest growing sectors, having grown by 10% in 2017.
Mouayed Makhlouf, IFC director for the Middle East and North Africa, said that supporting the development of Egypt's construction industry is key to spurring economic growth.
Makhlouf noted that local currency financing, which the IFC plans to expand, is also vital for sustainable private sector investment. Providing the loan in Egyptian pounds ensures the currency is more accessible to local companies, which can help boost crucial industries like manufacturing and construction.
The investment is part of the IFC's wider efforts to promote private sector-led growth in Egypt. In the last 10 years, the IFC has invested close to $3bn in the country's private sector and is aiming to invest a further $1.5bn this year, including money mobilised from other investors.
Vinavil Egypt is a subsidiary of Mapei SpA, a global IFC chemicals client. It was established in 2001 and is a subsidiary of Vinavil SpA, which in turn is wholly-owned by Mapei, a global leader in specialty construction chemicals used in infrastructure projects, including housing, underground construction, ports, and marine industry. The company is a three-generation family-owned businesses, founded in 1937 and headquartered in Milan, Italy. Mapei has 82 subsidiaries, 28 research and development centres, and 79 production plants in 34 countries.

University helps close gap in mental health provision for young people
A grant from the University of Derby's Community Fund will support a Derbyshire charity as it tries to bridge a gap in NHS funding which has left a growing number of adolescents facing mental health issues without professional help.
The £1,500 grant will enable the Derbyshire Federation for Mental Health to extend its weekly call service to younger adolescents – a group identified by Prime Minister Theresa May as receiving inadequate support.
"We know from experience that adolescents suffering with their mental health will be the adults receiving services tomorrow," said the Federation's Toni Bryan.
"Individuals in the 13 to 18 age range have very limited services under existing Government funding, and have to rely on family and friends.
"With this help from the University of Derby, we can start to offer services to bridge the gap and improve individuals' quality of life."
The Federation currently offers support for vulnerable adults via weekly calls from trained workers centred on a plan designed to help the individual deal with issues such as anxiety, self-esteem and depression.
"More and more we are receiving referrals for younger adolescents, aged 15 and over, and feel this service is something we could expand and adapt to suit this age range," said Toni.
"We are well situated to signpost people to other professionals or alert other services if necessary."
"It is important that at an early stage these young people are taught coping mechanisms and strategies to allow them to live with their conditions and thus lead independent lives.
"Sometimes it is just a case of talking to someone who will listen but not judge."
The project will help young people in the Derbyshire Dales and Chesterfield.

The Community Fund is one way in which the University hopes to 'give back' to local people through grants to inspiring projects that seek to benefit the community.
Community groups throughout Derby and Derbyshire will be able to bid for their share of £15,000 over the next 12 months. There will be three rounds of funding in 2016/17, with £5,000 available in each round.
The Fund is now accepting applications for the next round of awards.

Q: Plot: Show specific values in y axis I need to plot a list of points and I am using ListLinePlot. Mathematica decides which values on the y axis need to be shown in the graph. Instead, how can I show in the y axis the exact values for each point? Thanks

A: You can use the option Ticks to specify tick-marks on the axes. For example:
data = RandomInteger[100, 10];
ListLinePlot[data, Ticks -> {Automatic, {3, 7, 20, 38, 66, 99}}]

The use of Automatic allows Mathematica to set the ticks on the x-axis, while the list given is the y-axis. Of course, you want to actually use your data-set as the ticks, so:
ListLinePlot[data, Ticks -> {Automatic, data}]

Note that these may overlap if you have two data-points that are too close together. You haven't given your data or any information about it, so I can't assess whether this is something that matters to you.

How to Access Govt. Grants to Develop Brownfield Sites
Let's start by looking at what grants are out there and who provides them.
The first thing to understand is, that there is no single, UK brownfield grant that developers can apply for.
They vary on a sub-regional basis.
The Benefits of Public Consultation
As a developer you'll want to have the best possible relationships with local authorities, landowners and local residents near to (and possibly even occupying) the site you want to develop.
This blog will help you do this.
Key Issues to Consider in Viability
Preparing a strong viability case to support your planning application is not a straightforward process and requires the right type of support. If you are considering submitting a viability case in respect of your scheme, you may want to seek advice from a specialist viability consultant who can help you and who will consider the following key issues.
5 Key Steps to Getting Your Planning Application Passed
Achieving planning consent is not just about what your scheme looks like, it is about a lot more. The context within which your application is submitted is incredibly important. That's why it's important to get the right advice and that's why you may need to work with a planning consultant.
Planning Fees are Increasing!
The Statutory Instrument with respect to an increase in planning fees was made on 20th December 2017 and comes into force on 17th January 2018. Planning fees are to increase by 20%. The Statutory Instrument has also introduced a fee for the submission of a Permission in Principle application. The Town and Country Planning (Permission in Principle) (Amendment) Order 2017 was made on 19th December 2017 and comes into force on the 1st June 2018. This introduces secondary legislation that allows landowners and developers to apply for a Permission in Principle, or Pip, rather than the only current mechanism for this being through Local Planning Authorities granting the Pip under Part 2 of the brownfield land register.

'Enabling Development' – What is it?!
Recently I have been dealing with more cases for 'Enabling Development', either where it has been enforced by a Local Planning Authority to try and restrict development on a site, or adopted by an applicant who is seeking to increase development on a site. In either case, there has been an apparent lack of continuity and understanding in the way this planning tool is implemented. Having delved into this topic in quite some detail, it has only become more apparent to me why this is the case...
RCA Regeneration Launch New Mobile App to Make Development Site Recording Quick and Easy
Have you been on the lookout for an easier, more convenient way to record development site details? With our new RCA Mobile App you can do just that. Our intuitive mobile application allows you to record site details whilst on location with an easy to complete form, location and photo upload.
Using the RCA App you can upload, save and edit details about a proposed development site and even submit them to us for some initial advice. Sending us the details, saving them for later editing or sending the details to an alternative email of your choice can save you time pulling information together when you're back at home or in the office.

Waste and recycling strategy
Central government published a new national waste strategy in December 2018, and we have been reviewing our services and developing a new waste strategy for the New Forest in line with the government's objectives.
The national waste strategy
The government's national waste strategy, "Our Waste, Our Resources: A Strategy for England" was published in December 2018 and contains objectives for dealing with the nation's waste, and suggestions for how these objectives can be achieved.
In the future, the items that we collect in the New Forest and the way we collect them will be heavily influenced by the national waste strategy.
The strategy has been subject to several consultations since 2019 which have indicated strong support for many of the objectives suggested. This informed the content of the draft Environment Bill 2020, as well as our Draft Waste Strategy, released in November 2020.
In May 2021, we submitted responses to the following, most recent consultations:
Consistency in household and business recycling collections in England
Introducing a deposit return scheme in England, Wales and Northern Ireland
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for packaging
Waste prevention programme for England: Towards a resource efficient economy
We're currently waiting on more clarity from the government following our responses.
Our response: We welcome any measures that improve recycling and waste minimisation. We believe creating consistency in household recycling across the country, and introducing a deposit return scheme would be progressive steps to meeting some of the strategy's key objectives.
As detailed in our Draft Waste Strategy, we support the government's proposal to collect additional dry recyclables and food waste within the next few years. However, timescales for implementation may need to be flexible to allow for changes to our service.
We support the option to introduce an 'on-the-go' deposit return scheme and agree with the materials proposed as cans, plastic bottles, and glass bottles.
Extending the producers' responsibility for packaging and the introduction of a plastic tax, are important actions that we hope will encourage businesses to use recycled materials and move this country towards a more circular economy.
We are pleased that government have indicated that local authorities will be equipped with funds to implement any legislative changes and look forward to seeing the outcome of these consultations.
The development of the New Forest waste strategy
As a result of the above developments, a working group of council members and officers was formed in August 2019. The group has been working on developing a new waste strategy for the New Forest district that will comply with forthcoming legislation and meet the needs of our community.
Our progress so far
The working group has considered the following:
New laws for the collection of food waste and recycling
Different collections systems for collecting waste and recycling
Initial residents' survey
A formal period of engagement in late 2020 when residents and other stakeholders provided feedback
Current best practice and what other councils do
The Draft Waste Strategy (DWS) was approved on 4 November 2020 at the council's cabinet meeting.
The strategy sets out our proposed plan for changes to the waste and recycling service and includes:
Weekly collections for food waste in a caddy
Alternate weekly collections for paper and card in a reusable bag
Alternate weekly collections for mixed recyclables in a wheelie bin
Alternate weekly collections for general waste in a wheelie bin
Fortnightly garden waste collections in a reusable bag or wheelie bin (subscription service)
You can read about proposed changes to the service, and reasons for those changes, in the documents below. We are currently waiting on feedback from the latest government consultations before approving a final waste strategy.

Joint Municipal Waste Management Strategy
In October 2021, we approved a new "Joint Municipal Waste Management Strategy" (JMWMS) which will allow us to work collaboratively with district and borough councils in Hampshire to reduce our carbon impact, and comply with forthcoming government legislation.
As we work on our final waste strategy, the JMWMS will support us in sharing resources and working towards our goal to reduce waste and increase recycling.
The new JMWMS aligns with the proposed changes set out in our Draft Waste Strategy. This includes:
An eventual move to a "twin-stream" recycling collection system for the New Forest district.  A twin-stream system means paper and card will be collected from one container, and glass bottles and jars, plastic bottles, tubs and trays, metal tins and cans in another
The introduction of weekly food waste collections within the next few years
Specific information about the waste service for the New Forest, such as how often waste will be collected, and the types of containers and vehicles to be used, will be known when our final waste strategy is agreed.
You can view the full JMWMS below.
View the Joint Municipal Waste Management Strategy
What will happen next
As we work on finalising the waste strategy, we are dependent upon:
Receiving greater clarity from central government on their intentions for council waste services
Further work we will be doing with other councils in Hampshire to ensure we have a joined-up approach to managing the county's waste
We do not expect to approve a final waste strategy until early 2022. We will then work on implementing changes to the waste and recycling service.
If you have any questions about our waste and recycling strategy, you can contact us at wastestrategy@nfdc.gov.uk.


The sleeping elephant has woken up. Or is it another Asian tiger. Call it what you may, but the truth is that India is on the move. Since economic liberalization began in 1991, India has been clocking an 8 percent GDP growth year after year, foreign direct investments are hitting $10 billion annually, and the stock market has tripled in the last three years. The 300 million strong middle class, with new money in their pockets are continuing to fuel the economic engine.
All this makes India a popular alternative for companies desiring to do business abroad. When you, as an individual or as a foreign company, come to a decision to do business in India, the question arises about the type of business entity you should adopt. In short, you have three options – to establish a liaison / representative office, a project office, or a branch office.
A liaison office may not be engaged in any business activity in India. Rather, it has a limited role of collecting information and marketing your company's services to prospective Indian customers.
If your company is engaged in manufacturing and trading activities, you may opt to set up a project office for executing a specific project. Such a process requires the approval of the Reserve Bank of India, which is generally accorded to government-aided or approved project.
(d)	promote technical and financial collaboration between the Indian and foreign companies. The branch office, however, is not allowed to engage in direct sales of your company's products.
As an alternative to doing business in India, you may want to conduct business as an Indian company through a joint venture or a wholly owned subsidiary. The difference between the two is that in a joint venture, a foreign company partners with an Indian entity. In an owned subsidiary on the other hand, the foreign company fully owns equity in another Indian company.
For most industry sectors, especially in the IT field, the foreign company is not required to obtain prior approval from the Secretariat of Industrial Approvals in India and the Foreign Investment Promotion Board. Moreover, to encourage units in the IT sector, numerous government schemes exist, such as: Domestic Tariff Areas, Special Economic Zones, Free Trade Zones, Export Processing Zones, 100 percent EOUs, and Software Technology Parks (STPs).
(g)	Green Card for priority treatment in government clearances and services.
If the first few words of the proposed name of the Indian company are those of the parent foreign company, a "No Objection" letter on the letterhead of the parent foreign company allowing the use of the name by the Indian subsidiary expedites the name registration process.
Pursuant to the Indian Companies Act, 1956, a minimum of two shareholders is required to incorporate an Indian company. Further, during the incorporation process, the names, addresses, dates of birth, father's name, nationality, and notarized copies of passports of the proposed directors of the Indian subsidiary must also be provided.
Next, the Indian law requires a Memorandum and Articles of Association to be undertaken by the Indian subsidiary. A power of attorney may be required from the parent company by which an agent is appointed. The power of attorney must be notarized and authenticated by the Indian Embassy in the foreign company's original country.
(j) authorizing a Director to represent the company in general and in taking the necessary steps to register it with various government authorities.
(j) registration under Central and Sales Tax Act.
The authorized share capital of the proposed Indian subsidiary depends on the words contained in the company's name. For instance, the authorized share capital of Rs. 50 million ($1 million) is allotted for the use of word "Corporation" in the company name. The authorized share capital of Rs. 10 million ($216,000.00) is for the use of words "International," "Globe," "Universal," "Continental," or "Asia," as the first word in the company name. Therefore, words such as those mentioned above are allowed as names only if the authorized share capital of the company totals certain specified amounts.
The registration fees payable to the Registrar of Companies at the time of new company's registration depend on the intended authorized share capital of the company. A private limited company must have a minimum authorized and paid share capital of Rs. 100,000.00. The registration fees generally range from approximately Rs. 4,800.00 ($100.00) to Rs. 98,000.00 ($2,250.00); however, registration fees can go up to Rs. 25 million depending upon the authorized capital.
In conclusion, when setting up a business in India, careful attention should be given to the industry in which your company will operate. Additionally, a thorough understanding of the Indian regulations is essential to a successful establishment of your business.
1 Both foreign companies in India as well as Indian companies are subject to Indian Companies Act, 1956. 2 STPs are located in Noida, Navi Mumbai, Pune, Gandhinagar, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Bhubaneshwar, Jaipur, Mohali, and Thiruvanathapuram.

BIODIVERSITY AND NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
Churchill, Manitoba, Canada is located on the west shore of Hudson Bay, 110 kilometres from the Manitoba-Nunavut. It is most famous for the many polar bears that move toward the shore from inland in the autumn, leading to the nickname "Polar Bear Capital of the World" that has helped its growing tourism industry.

The nearest community is the Town of Churchill. It is located 23 km away from the CNSC. Churchill has a population of 899 people and is located on the west coast of Hudson Bay in Manitoba. The town of Churchill grew from a gathering point (circa 4000 B.P.) to a remote outpost of the Hudson Bay Company on the west side of the Churchill River to a bustling seaport with the construction of the Hudson Bay Railroad and Port of Churchill on the east side of the river in the late 1920s. Through much of the 1950s and 1960s, the town was a thriving military community servicing Fort Churchill and the Churchill Research Range. Churchill's economy today is based on four main pillars: tourism, transportation, health and research.
The community also possesses a rich cultural history with the intersection of three aboriginal peoples (the Caribou Inuit, the Sayisi-Dene and the Maskêkô-winniwak or Swampy Cree) and, following the establishment of a Hudson Bay trading post, become home to a significant Métis population. European settlers, the Canadian and US military, and currently a temporary labour force with ties stretching to Australia and Southeast Asia round out the population of Churchill. The connection with the land and the confluence of the marine, tundra and boreal biomes is strong in the region and has long attracted travellers.
Access to the station is by rail (using VIA Rail Canada from Winnipeg or Thompson, Manitoba) or by air (using Calm Air from Winnipeg or Thompson, Manitoba). Rail travel from Winnipeg is 36 hours whereas a flight is 2 hours on jet service provided by Calm Air. Freight can be shipped to Churchill using Gardewine North and arrives once per week via freight train or can be brought in by air transport. Field transportation once in Churchill can be done with vehicles using the approximately 50 km of road network in the regions. More remote use can be accomplished by ATV, snowmachine or helicopter. Camping and long-distance hiking is not recommended due to the presence of polar bears in the region.

US Treasury Warns NFTs May Present New Illicit Finance Risks
illicit finance
US Treasury
The U.S. treasury department has warned that non-fungible tokens (NFTs) may present new illicit finance risks. According to industry estimates, the NFT market could reach $35 billion in 2022 and more than $80 billion by 2025.
NFTs May Present Illicit Finance Risks
The U.S. Department of the Treasury announced Friday the release of a "study on illicit finance in the high-value art market." The study was mandated by Congress in the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020.
"This study examined art market participants and sectors of the high-value art market that may present money laundering and terrorist financing risks to the U.S. financial system," the Treasury wrote, adding:
The emerging digital art market, such as the use of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), may present new risks, depending on the structure and market incentives.
In order to combat the risks, the study recommends several options, including updating training for law and customs enforcement, enhancing private sector information sharing, and applying anti-money laundering and countering terrorism financing requirements to certain participants in the art market.
According to Dappradar, NFT sales volume totaled $24.9 billion in 2021, compared to $94.9 million in the previous year. Jefferies' analysts have estimated that the market for NFTs could reach $35 billion in 2022 and more than $80 billion by 2025.
The rising popularity of NFTs has attracted scammers and caused concerns among regulators.
"Scams promising big returns on cryptocurrencies and NFTs are flooding the Internet," T. K. Keen, administrator for the Division of Financial Regulation of the U.S. state of Oregon, warned in January. "Investors wanting to purchase cryptocurrencies and NFTs should do their homework to make sure they fully understand these investments and their risks before getting involved."
What do you think about the Treasury's warning about NFTs? Let us know in the comments section below.

A: The name collision is between the funcrion parameter and the column name.
The easiest solution is to avoid the name collision, e.g. by calling the OUT parameter p_date.
Alternatively you can use a table alias:

Here are some simple tips for painting and finishing wooden furniture, especially painted furniture that will be used outdoors like this dining table I'm making I use Sapele for the table top and apron because it's a great wood to use for outdoor projects. I would most likely use Poplar if the table would be used only indoors, but Poplar is not a good wood to use for outdoor projects.
I use Benjamin Moore Fresh Start as a primer for painted projects. It's considered a "high-hiding primer" and is very thick which helps with coverage and protection. I primed the base twice because this will be an outdoor table and sanded lightly before painting.
For the Paint, I use Benjamin Moore, MoorGlo Soft Gloss Regal Select Exterior in the Dove White color. I use this paint on exterior trim and outdoor furniture projects and have had a lot of luck.
I use Wisecoat by DeckWise to finish the Sapele Top, which is a water-soluble finishing product that's ideal for Sapele, Ipe, Teak, and other hard outdoor woods. I let the Wisecoat dry for a day, gave it a light sanding and then finished it with a coat of Ipe Oil from Deckwise to give it a nice natural finish.

Why Fabregas Took A Bow Out Of Chelsea In Tears
Atume Philip	2 years ago 491
The main reason behind Cesc Fabregas's emotional mood during Saturday's win against Nottingham Forest match has been revealed.
According to the midfielder, he said his emotions started from him loosing the penalty he was awarded during the match, remembering the same mood and moment that occurred when he got 100 caps for Spain referring to the situation as destiny. He said:
"I saw the keeper going down in the middle of the run and I thought I had it. It was unfortunate.
"The day I got 100 caps for Spain I also missed a penalty, so it was destiny.
The midfielder was handed a rare start and given the captain's armband for his final appearance in a blue shirt as he gets set to join Monaco.
Fabregas missed a first-half penalty but Maurizio Sarri's side ran out 2-0 winners thanks to Alvaro Morata's double.
The Blues boss withdrew Fabregas in the closing minutes so supporters could give the Spaniard a deserved send off after 198 games for the club.
"Time flies," said Fabregas. "It feels like last week that I started playing professionally and now it's more than 15 years.
"It goes so fast and you have to be ready every three days, for the criticism with everyone saying how good you are and the ups and downs.
"It feels like growing older it never goes away it is technique. Physicality goes away. Technicality stays with you."
Nottingham Forest keeper Luke Steele denied Fabregas the perfect send off when he kept out the former Arsenal man's spot-kick.

Lakeshore Records: "KILLING GUNTHER" Music by: Dino Meneghin
Killing Gunther - In Taran Killam's world of contract killers, Gunther (Arnold Schwarzenegger), the greatest and most arrogant hitman, has earned the ire of the killer community. Now a group of up-and coming but dysfunctional assassins try to advance their careers by offing the most infamous exterminator of all time.
These eccentric killers come together from across the globe to set the perfect trap. To have undeniable proof that they killed the notorious Gunther, this motley troop of killers hire a docu-crew at gun point. Their master plan quickly turns into a series of embarrassing fails. As Gunther is on to them before they know it and he makes it his personal mission to make their lives a living hell. It becomes a race against time: kill or be killed, as the hunters quickly become the prey.
Dino Meneghin is a Los Angeles-based composer. Originally coming to LA to work as a guitarist, he began his career working as a guitarist and musical director with artists as diverse as Destiny's Child, Josh Groban, Liz Phair, and Michael Bublé

Fernando Rendón
The unwary Margarita cried terrified when she dipped her foot in a gelatinous swamp that called her by her name.
She was howling for eight endless hours while she carried an invisible child.
It rained and the only one of her words you could understand was hell.
The wind and the spring, jurors, condemned in silence her executioners.
The trees jumped cursing and then fell back to their roots.
Pain twisted and turned eroding the edge of the waters.
Faraway: the age of earth.
The nerves were pinched by the stem of the poppies. And we waited between patience and impatience.
Maddened vegetables, as in nightmares we could not run.
After the supreme effort, we hardly kept life on the last step of human ridiculousness: a clockwork drunk.
The next day the battered body, the wings more vigorous than ever.
Lying like pieces of wood, the red bark wrinkled, some rotting buffaloes melting on the green prairie.
But also due to an inexplicable act of fate, lying like mushrooms in the grass we explore all millennia, we run away from prehistoric beasts, we fought all the wars, we are millions of beings stretching under the arch of eternity, while dragon and longing engage in combat in the clouds.
The sun calls and to hesitate is to die. Fly, fly beautiful swan of desire, everything can be achieved.
Walking on the white dew, take your shoes off: the age of a man is that of his look at the legendary wood.
I inhabit a zone of light rays and revelations. The oracle still speaks. I for my part do not listen to it. I do not follow its warnings.
I refused to be initiated. I never repeated aloud what I heard from the mouth of the torment. I fought against the angel. Because they chained the human spirit to the abyss, I looked down on religions. Because of the devastating massacres that without respite brought down the naked certainty in life, I put myself on guard against the nature of the states. Because I saw thousands fall, I knew that the pact of human indifference triumphed provisionally.
No doubt this is the time of the end, they proclaim, something as formidable as its emergence: the sinking of the continents.
I endure the pressure of the darkness forged by the human imagination in the rapture of an age already without a heaven. I already know I will be invisible. And even though a while ago a flash of lighting unloaded its anger of white roots, filling my log cabin with dense energies, I will unflinchingly turn a deaf ear to the oracle, for I will still love the men that suffer and the peoples that resist, I will hear the sweet voices of the stones and the trees that call us to the return, the secret language of the birds of the first day to which the states and the gods have been deaf for many centuries.
When we set out on the grueling march from the Apocalypse of the Shadow of Man, among the yells of the warriors, under a panic sky that mortally wounded all of our hopes, all our desires.
When we renounced ourselves to load our hope on the back of the brother, fleeing to the margins of delirium where you can no longer see the cities of hell.
When we knew that the doors of Spring would open and would not open only to us, that we would miss without fail the Shadow of Man, which we had loved since the beginning, when there was no death in the flowery prairies and the quagmires had not yet emerged from the human mind.
To return then, again, to undo in the heart the knot of our sweet wounded country, the nothingness of our lost dream of a life shared floating.
The gay shadows of the macaws, sheltered in the shadows of the treetops, chatter about the hullabaloo of the shadows of the apes. The shadow of the frond dances on the shadow of a jaguar. A violent sun is the only refuge of the salamander. Shadows of slow clouds on shadows crouching down, shadows that haunt other shadows that are afraid. The shadow of a man eludes the shadow of another man.
The sea of shadows of the man arriving swoops on the shadow of the man that was. The always sleepless, the astonished one howls. It is night upon the brook of light, that flows into the pupil of the Shadow of Man, sticking the shadow to the light.
What good is it for a man, his shadow on the desert? The shadow of a tree weighs more than the shadow of a man. In the desert, the shadow of the sunstruck knows that paradise is a true shadow.
"The stones shall cry."
Stone, talisman that chose its princes, bone of the presence and the beginning, I recognize your sacred spirit.
Our ancestors dug in the stone of the enchantments, went into the stone house of the spells, where the invisible life speaks.
A prehistoric clock of light, the shadow turns round the stone, which listens to the heartbeats of man.
The lyre of Anphion raised the floating stones of Thebes. Voices that surged from the stone go about the labyrinth of the ear.
Descended from the stone of the sun and drowned in shadows, the man no longer listens to the stone that sings.
V Lapidaries reveal secret transformations of the solids, new emanations from the urge of dawn, from the heart of the stone that the lightning inhabited one day, before a shoreless water emerged under the floating light, forging the interweaving of flowers and animals to make a mother country of the wood.
From Prometeida
Delegates of the centuries arranged to meet around the ruined table, and at cards – with contrary sentiments – they play the destiny of the kingdoms of life.
The magician has made himself invisible. The lovers have a good star even though they are trapped. It is the Devil with the cards of the crown and death who has engendered anxiety in the game. Outside, the tower is still crumbling down. Not one civilization could have raised itself up without the obstinate vision of madness.
Time advances toward its end. The players look at each other, hostile. There is a mortal struggle for, at cards – with contrary sentiments – they play the destiny of the kingdoms of life.
And the emperor and death again take all the chips by the side of their owner.
However there are reserves left. Nature sings its deposits. The moon becomes bigger. The hanged man smiles, always invulnerable. The trial goes on transforming the solar province into a universe without restrictions. The constellations descend near the heads of the players.
Poetry takes out the events from the sleeve of its tunic. The world thus understands it. And it gets ready to purify itself for the demanding activity of resurrection.
There is no poem
There is no music that summons you
That reaches you
There is no melody that makes your spirit travel
There is no music that feeds you
That touches you
The songs for you were not enough
No archaic song embraced you
My poor love of love songs
No heritage was accorded to you
The gods did not hurl blazes of flowers at you
They did not make all the red gold of the universe descend upon you
The gold of the legendary music
All the heady sound of the leaves in the wind
Shaping the universe of beings that embrace you
In the intertwinement of all time
My love without songs
You will always have reasons
You will draw out the sword
like an angel
And when you have unsheathed it
you already are a demon
The beast is the cage
The future comes to us like a caterpillar joy is not eager
The past is a dormouse that snores with few beautiful dreams
Hope is a white phoenix
And my eagerness is a scarlet gazelle hunted down by the king's
This zoo is a city of cages in each door padlocks and
rusty locks in every window bars and eyes
In the corners apes that deny being related to Darwin night
panthers with fire eyes crocodiles that cry as if
regretting falling in love boas with the appetite of bishops and bankers
macaws with the colors of poetry hyenas that laugh reluctantly
before the tarnished day
lions that lose their dignity and their mane hieroglyphical tigers
men looking into their eyes into the infinite eyes of the animals
and many jailers chained to their irons
When you grow up help us open all the cages.
To the children
Translations by Nicolás Suescún, 2005.
FERNANDO RENDÓN.
Fernando Rendón was born in Medellín, Antioquia (Colombia), in 1951. He gained his first experiences writing poetry and having it published in journals as a teenager. His debut work "Contrahistoria" (1986), a visionary idea of the future in complete opposition to the realities of apocalyptic excess in his country, was published in the 1980s. He has published another poetry books: "Bajo otros soles" (1989), "Canción en los Campos de Marte" (1992) "Los motivos del salmón" (1998), and "La cuestión radiante" (Venezuela, 2006; Egipto, 2007; Costa Rica, Francia (2008).
He has founded the poetry magazine "Prometeo". The Latin American poetry journal has issued 83 numbers to date. The creative journal sparked off the establishment of many poetry initiatives in the cultural metropolis of northwest Colombia and in the country as a whole. This helped provide an ethical and aesthetic counterweight to the terror of the civil war, which has now been raging for 40 years.
In 1991 he and a team of three poets founded the The International Poetry Festival of Medellin (Alternative Nobel Prize in 2006), which takes place every June. It regularly attracts crowds of over 160,000 and has become the biggest event of its kind in the world. So far around 850 writers from 143 countries all five continents have participated. The large number of visitors is, however, not the main reason why the festival in Medellin is such a remarkable event. It has become such an extraordinary phenomenon due to the frankness, intensity, enthusiasm and directness of the mainly young audience from all sectors of society, who come together in a true celebration of poetry at the free event. Fernando Rendón believes that the persistent and overwhelming fascination for poetry can be explained by the perilous times the people are enduring, as well as their hopes that they will see the end of them. Pain sensitizes us. Poetry enables us to cope with the crisis and to identify with our city despite the hostilities and the war.
People welcome poetry because it is a way of living life again. It also reminds us of the past, when poets spoke directly to a community rather than through the print media. Poetry is a real test: the search for the unknown and the resurrection of humankind. It also provides certainty that life has not been completely lost or destroyed. That is why the people who live in and around Medellin heed the call of poetry. In 1993 the first of the international poetry series "Colección Prometeo" appeared, now numbering 13 volumes. During the poetry festival of 1996 the "Poetry School of Medellin" was founded at the Universidad de Antioquia. The first Latin American school cooperated in this with the "Schule für Dichtung" in Vienna.
He is the director of "Time of Poetry -In Spanish-" (Tiempo de Poesía), serie of 16 poetry documentaries. They were premiered at the XIII International Poetry Festival of Medellin and were shown on Venezuelan television in 2004.
His poetry has been translated into several different languages, including French, Italian, Croatian, Hungarian and Portuguese. It sometimes alludes to myths, sometimes to centers of art. He questions the fate of humankind in times of sudden, earth-shattering catastrophes; he restlessly and rebelliously seeks the original sources of lost dignity, intellectual diversion and creative freedom. His poetic language is sonorous, quasi Dionysian, vivid and dynamic. The poem "The Storm" considers the natural cathartic power of poetry in itself. "The rain/washes the blood away,/washes the memory clean of cruelty".

This fabulous beastie is a Melophone.
Click on the pictures for enlargements.
What is it ? It's a cross between a guitar and a harmonium.
Each button on the 'fretboard' is linked to a reed inside the body of the instrument. The wind is supplied by a double action bellows concealed within the instrument and actuated by a piston working through the lower end of the case.
It was invented by Leclèrc in Paris 1837 who seems to have been a clockmaker.
There can't be too many examples around; there's one at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston (although I don't remember seeing it there) with 104 'keys' and another one at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney, Australia with 84 'keys'. The one above also has 84 keys.
The one in Australia was made by Brown & Cleric, indicating that there may have been more than one company that made these.
This particular example is for sale soon, priced at $6500 US. Here are the full details.
A rare and all original French Melophone from the mid 19 century in astonishing condition. Birdseye maple body and the sides of the cover, spruce top of the cover decorated flower ornaments in ink. A complete restoration had been performed some years ago to make it fully playable, but it is not guaranteed that everything still works after changing hand a couple of times. The whole mechanism is very complicated, brass keywork seems to be in tune and every note works. I have never seen one in this great condition and I think there is hardly anybody around who knows how to restore a melophone. It was propably made for some important person since there is an original coin plaque of the French general attached to it, reading: Henri de Lorraine, Comte de Harcourt, Grande Escuier (Ecuyer) de France. 8 chromatic Bass reeds 9 chromatic Tenor reeds 13 chromatic Alto reeds 13 chromatic Soprano reeds 12 chromatic Sopranino reeds 84 Ivory roller buttons - total length without airbellhadle 29 inches - length of the body 19 3/4 inches - upper bout 9 3/4 inches - lower bout 11 1/2 inches - middle bout 8 5/8 inches - body depth 4 3/8 inches - body depth including cover 7 1/4 inches.
There is also a melophone in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
One composer named Jacques Halevy used it in his opera "Guido et Ginevra" in the 19th century.
It's worth seeing if you happen to be in NY. Just go to the 2nd floor and look for the Mertens Gallery of Musical Instruments.
I am looking to buy a melophone. If you have one for sale or know of any that might be for sale, please contact me at Screenery[AT]gmail[DOT]com.


Picky eating can be incredibly stressful for parents. You try to ensure that your kids eat a healthy diet, but they seem to reject the healthy foods that you offer. The good news is that children usually grow out of fussy eating before they reach their teens – and there are a lot of things that you can do to help your children overcome fussy eating.
With some perseverance (and a lot of patience!) you can help expand your child's food horizons. The following tips might make the fight against fussy eating a bit easier to win.
Involve your children in writing out shopping lists, planning dinners and choosing healthy foods. Children are more likely to try foods that they've helped to prepare and choose.
Children will generally eat what's around, so parents have a great deal of control over their food habits. If a certain food is not in the house, children will eventually stop asking for it. If they want a snack, they'll have to reach for an apple instead of a bag of chips.
Don't use sweets as treats or rewards – this reinforces an idea of junk food as a good thing.
Forcing children to eat something they don't want is a bad idea. Children should decide if they are hungry, what they will eat (from the food served), and when they are full. Forcing children to clean their plate teaches children to ignore feelings of fullness, which may lead to overeating.
TV watching distracts children from the food that's in front of them, and makes overeating more likely.
Our bodies are not designed to eat three large meals a day. Children especially do well eating healthy snacks of fruits and vegetables, nuts, cheeses and whole grain breads during the day. Processed snacks have the opposite result. They fill kids up and take away their interest in healthy foods. Avoid with care.
Having a structured day which includes structured mealtimes can really help children build healthy eating habits. If your child is a fussy eater, keep serving the foods they refuse. Don't force them to eat and remain positive. A child can try a food as many as 10 times before they decide whether they like it or not. If you don't serve it, you can't expect them to try it.
Kids who sit down to regular family meals are more likely to have a healthier diet and appreciate their food. Try to put nutritious food on the table and aim for a time when everyone can sit down together.
Research shows that coaxing, pleading and yelling at your children to encourage them to eat simply doesn't work.
Try introducing new foods one at a time. Once your child has mastered one food, move on to the next.
You are your child's most important role model, and the best way for you to encourage healthy eating is to set a good example by eating the same foods you expect them to eat.
Try preparing foods in different ways that might be more appealing or novel to children. See our Sneak in Fruits and Veggies page for more ideas.
