Tributes paid to caring Lyme lady

The late Maralyn Rattenbury. - Credit: Archant
Heartfelt tributes to the 'unofficial mum' to hundreds of primary school children have been paid at Lyme Regis.
In his eulogy at the funeral service, at the parish church, for Maralyn Rattenbury, St Michael's head teacher Nick Kiddle said that Maralyn, at the school for 31 years as a teaching assistant and dinner lady, was a very special employee.
She was full of kindness, caring and compassion - a person calm and reassuring in a crisis whose capacity to listen and understand always made you feel better.
He added: "She was the kindest person I ever met."
Maralyn, 67, who died after a brave fight against debilitating illness over many months, leaves a husband Phil, three children and eight grandchildren.
Phil said: "The family has been very touched and comforted by the glowing tributes to Maralyn and the great support of so many kind people to whom we are so very grateful."

I was extremely impressed with each G&M representative I encountered throughout the process of the sale, installation, and follow-up of our new complete home Carrier heating and cooling system. Jeff, Perri, Martin, and Eddie were professional, honest, prompt, and courteous. Jeff took all of the time necessary to explain our options. Perri, G&M Field Foreman, did an outstanding job of coordinating the installation process and making sure the job was done correctly. Martin and Eddie did a great job of installing a complex system. Each answered our questions completely and honestly. We would highly recommend G&M to anyone for their heating and air conditioning needs.


systemd command `systemctl show` is not available during installation and will return error "Running in chroot, ignoring request." Therefore, we must avoid calling it in the installation workflow. To keep the API partially consistent, this class offers a replacement for the Properties above.
Retrieves the status enabled|disabled which is needed in the installation system. There are currently only 3 commands available for systemd in inst-sys/chroot: `systemctl enable|disable|is-enabled`. The rest will return the error message mentioned above in this comment.
Once the inst-sys has running dbus/systemd, this class definition can be removed together with the condition for Stage.initial in the SystemdUnit#show.
A new instance of InstallationProperties.

What is an Unreasonable Workplace Temperature?
How Hot is Too Hot? What is a Reasonable Workplace Temperature?
We know that it is an employer's duty to protect the health, safety and welfare of their employees and other people who might be affected by their business.
But what do employers have to do if it gets too hot? Can they do anything about the heat? How hot is too hot to reasonably be expected to carry out your work duties?
What exactly is a reasonable temperature in UK law? Would it be possible to make a health and safety at work claim based around the temperature in your office? Unreasonable upper working temperatures have not been defined in UK law. There is no guidance for maximum temperatures in the workplace; however, we can make some logical assumptions.
The temperature must be taken in context. In the UK, temperatures can rise to between 30 and 33 degrees in the summer. It is therefore not unreasonable to expect internal temperatures to reach this level during unusually hot summer days. Unusual is the key word here. Seeing as businesses with non-climate controlled environments are not required to shut down during hot summers, we can assume that an office that rises to 30 degrees in the heat for a very limited period of time probably doesn't breach UK regulations on workplace temperature.
Clearly what is deemed reasonable will also depend on the type of work that is taking place and for how long the exposure lasts. It is much more likely you could prove a temperature of 35-40 degrees to be unreasonable for a factory worker carrying out heavy manual tasks whilst wearing protective equipment than an office worker carrying out relatively light admin type tasks.
What Can Employers do to Control Working Temperatures?
There are a number of different ways that employers can ensure their employees get to work in an environment with fresh air and sufficient circulation.
1. Install an effective air control system.
We do not usually have extremely hot weather in the UK. This is one of the reasons why Regulation 7 has not been elaborated upon so far and a 'reasonable temperature' for work in the UK has yet to be defined.
Most work accident injury claims at Slater and Gordon Lawyers UK are funded through No Win, No Fee agreements. This means no financial risk to you.
If you have fainted due to excessive work temperatures or sustained an injury because your employer has breached health and safety regulations you can call us anytime on freephone 0800 916 9046 or contact us online. We will advise you on how successful you claim is expected to be.

There are many ways to cleanse crystals, but a lot of healers love to cleanse them under the full moon. If only we had full moons more often, we wouldn't need other methods :).
1. Place crystals under direct moonlight overnight.
Easy, right? That's why we love it!
Now, here below are answers to some common questions.
Yes, it will still work, even if there are clouds.
No, you don't need to place them on the ground. You can do it, and it's probably better, since they'll charge up from the Earth's energy as well, but you certainly don't have to. A table, windowsill, or roof will work just as well.
The nights just before and just after the full moon work as well.
You can place them outdoors or indoors, as long as the moonlight can reach them. Outdoors might be better, but indoors works too.
No, the windows doesn't have to be open if it's indoors. It can be, but it doesn't have to.
I put all of my crystals outside during the full moon and then leave them there in the sun the next day. Hadn't thought of putting them on the ground but will do that next month during the harvest moon. I have put them out in the snow during a full moon.
sometimes I take my crystals to the beach, sometimes on full moon, and set them in the sand where water will wash over them.
That's so simple. I have a new crystal which needs to be charged. Thanks for the information.
I have crystal grid for over month. Should I charge them too ? And if so should I program them after full moon again or charging is enough ?
AWESOME DID NOT KNOW THIS. THANK YOU!
Can u cleanse it crystals under a blue moon or shall I wait 4 the harvest moon ?????
I live in an apartment and I don't get the light of the moon and I can't leave it outside either, so what should I do? Does it work leaving the crystal close to the window at night and have the intention for the moon light to charge it? And also if I need to clean and recharge them can I do in a regular night?
Sorry for all my questions but I would like to understand more.

Veteran Dodgers reliever Pedro Baez signs with Houston Astros
Former Dodgers reliever Pedro Báez has agreed to a two-year contract with the Houston Astros pending a physical, according to the Times' Jorge Castillo.
Báez, who will turn 33 in March, has spent his entire seven-year career in L.A., posting a 3.03 ERA across 355 games. In 2020, he appeared 18 times in the regular season, allowing six earned runs and striking out 13 batters in 17 innings. During the Dodgers' World Series postseason run, he had a 3.52 ERA in eight outings and recorded two outs in the team's title-clinching win over the Tampa Bay Rays.
A native of the Dominican Republic who signed with the Dodgers as an amateur free agent in 2007, Báez played third base before converting to the mound for the 2013 season. He rose through the Dodgers' farm system quickly as a reliever, making his MLB debut in 2014 at age 26.
Between 2015 and 2019, the right-hander appeared in at least 52 games each season.
This year, Báez reported late to camp in July because he was twice exposed to people with the coronavirus, though he never tested positive. In late August, he went on the injured list for three weeks with a right groin strain.
Though he collected two saves and six holds, Báez struggled when inheriting runners on base. All seven of his inherited runners in the regular season and playoffs came around to score, including two he allowed on a go-ahead by Brandon Lowe in the sixth inning of the Dodgers' Game 4 loss in the World Series.
Báez, however, delivered in Game 6. Brought on to begin the fifth inning that night, he retired the first two batters he faced before being removed after a two-out single, helping the Dodgers' bullpen complete 7⅓ innings of scoreless relief and clinch the series.

It has been 12 years, 7 months, and 23 days since Alvin Martinez first got sober in Ready, Willing & Able. Today, he works as an educator on The Doe Fund's Workforce Development team. He thinks of each day that he stays clean as a milestone — a celebration of his new life.
As a kid, Alvin's life seemed normal. His parents ran a small business — a bar in Brooklyn — that kept their family in good shape. But a year after Alvin enrolled in college, he learned that his family's bar was a cover for an illegal businesses. His father was sent to prison, and Alvin dropped out of school to support his mother and young sister.
"In less than a year, my life was ruined. I went from a straight-A college student to a hopeless addict behind a bar," says Alvin.
By 2007, Alvin was pushing 50 years old and back in rehab. He knew that this time, something had to change. When he was released from rehab, instead of hitting the streets or looking to get high, he came to Ready, Willing & Able.
"When I put on my bright blue uniform to clean the streets with my fellow Men in Blue, I felt that change happening. I felt hope and purpose pumping through my veins and pushing me forward," he said.
After a year of hard work in Ready, Willing & Able, Alvin was a new man. He had his sobriety, a Commercial Driver License, a work history, and a full-time job as a truck driver. He held down an apartment and paid his rent on time. After four years behind the wheel, he decided he was ready to pursue his higher calling: He wanted to help people like him.
For the second time, The Doe Fund welcomed Alvin "home" — this time as an employee. Today, he's an Educational Assistant at The Doe Fund and a chaplain in his community. Every day, Alvin works with men with histories of addiction, homelessness, and incarceration who are in recovery. He helps guide them as they work tirelessly to change their lives — just like Alvin did.

An Allstate specialist brings passion for helping others to Allstate Identity Protection
From helping a customer get $56,000 back to finding better solutions for teammates, this senior customer care specialist offers support when others need it most.
Americans have an average of 350 online accounts with access to their personal data. Allstate Identity Protection provides monitoring tools that detect threats to data, credit and identity.
By Allstate
"Now I can breathe."
That's what Tyla Smith would often hear from customers after resolving a case of identity theft as an Allstate Identity Protection restoration specialist.
"People have told me they felt paranoid, like they didn't know who can they trust, what they can trust. They were just on edge," she said. "Being able to walk them through this process and give them that hand and educate them, it really made a difference."
Identity fraud affected 42 million American adults in 2021. Consumers need control over their personal data; Allstate Identity Protection is here to help.
Currently protecting more than 5 million people from identity fraud, Allstate Identity Protection provides monitoring tools that detect threats to your data, credit and identity. Specialists like Smith are available 24/7 to manage customers' recovery and restore their identities, with up to $1 million of expense reimbursement.
Smith got her start at Allstate Identity Protection as a customer care specialist, helping customers with questions and requests for their accounts. Her manager later encouraged her to join the restoration team. After learning all about credit reports and how to communicate with merchants, Smith was trained to help customers experiencing identity theft.
Getting a customer's $56,000 — and her life — back
One of the most memorable cases Smith encountered was when a customer suffered bank fraud while she was in the process of purchasing a home. The customer received messages that funds had been taken from her account in several different transactions totaling $56,000—none of which she authorized.
Failing to get her money back after a month of contacting her bank, the customer got in touch with Allstate Identity Protection. Smith listened to her entire story and by the end of the call, assured her that she would put a game plan together. After consulting with her teammates, Smith had multiple plans of action to help the customer.
The next time the customer got on the phone with her bank, Smith was also on the line to figure out why her claim for reimbursement had been denied. Smith said that the customer later told her, "I never even thought to ask those questions."
When it was made clear that the customer had not approved the transactions from her account, the bank agreed to reopen the investigation.
Tyla Smith, Restoration Specialist
"Then out of nowhere, like two, three weeks later, she sends me an email saying, 'Tyla, I don't know how we did it, but they approved it, and I got a refund back,'" Smith said. "I felt so happy for her."
"That's the whole point why I love customer service in general. I love helping people."
New challenge, unwavering commitment
Smith has recently taken on a new role at Allstate Identity Protection as a senior customer care specialist, which she pursued because of her passion for training her teammates.
The constant challenge of finding new answers and better solutions is what Smith enjoys most about her job. "I love how there's always something new to learn," she said.
Though her day-to-day responsibilities are different now in her new role, Smith said her overall goals haven't changed: "We all want to do the same things, which is to be there for the customer and to be able to give them the best customer care service."
3 ways you can protect your identity now
Americans have an average of 350 online accounts with access to their personal data, so it's more important than ever to monitor your digital privacy and help secure your information. Here are Smith's top three tips to protect yourself against identity theft.
Set up two-step verification on all your accounts. In addition to entering a password, many online accounts allow you to require a second form of authentication to sign in. Not only can this prevent an unauthorized user from accessing your account, but you'll also receive a message notifying you of the attempted log-in. "It's gonna protect you in the long run," Smith said.
Beware of scams. If you receive any sort of communication, such as a phone call, email or text message from someone claiming to be from a bank or a merchant asking for personal information, "do not engage," Smith said. Contact the company directly with any questions about your account.
Freeze your credit. If you're not planning on applying for credit, Smith said that freezing your credit can help prevent identity thieves from fraudulently opening accounts in your name. It's free and has no impact on your credit score.
Allstate Identity Protection
Allstate Identity Protection delivers comprehensive financial and identity monitoring designed to help you protect yourself, your family and your finances from emerging threats. If fraud occurs, U.S.-based experts are available 24/7 to help you restore your identity. Plus, get up to $1 million in reimbursement to cover stolen funds or out-of-pocket costs.

This week, box-offices across the country, saw three most-awaited Hindi films hit the screens along with some big Telugu and Hollywood movies.
Sanjay Dutt-Aditi Rao Hydari starrer Bhoomi clashed with Shraddha Kapoor's Haseena Parkar. A relatively smaller (in terms of budget) film, Newton, starring Rajkummar Rao, also released this week.
While all the three movies were backed by some genuine hard-hitting content, their performance wasn't that great at the ticket counters. According to film-trade analyst Taran Adarsh's tweet, Bhoomi made Rs 2.25 crore on its opening day.
Adarsh also revealed the first-day collection of Newton (Rs 96 lakhs) and Matthew Vaughn's Hollywood film, Kingsman: The Golden Circle which earned Rs 3.15 crore in India.

Haseena Parkar stars Shraddha Kapoor in the role of the don's sister. It also stars Siddhanth Kapoor (Shraddha's brother) who plays Dawood Ibrahim in the film, and Ankur Bhatia.
Bhoomi, directed by Omung Kumar, explores the relationship between a daughter, played by Hydari, and a father, portrayed by Dutt. The film, touted to be a revenge drama, also stars Sidhant Gupta, Sharad Kelkar and Shekhar Suman.
Director Amit Masurkar's Newton is the story of Nutan Kumar, a small-time government clerk, who has been sent on election duty to the conflict-ridden Chattisgarh forests of India, in a village controlled by Naxalites. Boasting of a talented cast of the likes of Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Raghubir Yadav, Anjali Patil , Danish Hussain and Sanjay Mishra, the film has already been selected as this year's official entry at Oscars 2018.

SWMRS Announce Debut Album 'Drive North'
Bay Area quartet SWMRS have announced that their debut album Drive North is due for release on February 12th, 2016 via Uncool Records.
Recorded in the band's hometown of Oakland, CA, Drive North was produced by FIDLAR frontman Zac Carper. "I wanted to work with SWMRS right when I heard their demos. And the way they all work together as a band is really inspiring. You can tell they have been friends since they were children," commented Carper on the collaboration.
"This is very much a coming of age record. It holds within the title one of the most important realizations that we had growing up. We spent a lot of time in our early years trying to find our creative roots, envying Los Angeles and wishing we could be from where 'the scene is happening'," offered singer Cole Becker on the album's lyrical content. Elaborating on the inspiration for the album's title, Becker shared, "Drive North is a sort of battlecry for everywhere else in the world where kids are making rock and roll music. Its about cultivating your own creativity within the world that you live in and basking in your individual identity."
Drive North will feature previously released tracks "Miley" and "Uncool." i-D Magazine premiered "Miley" in September, praising the song as "the most punk tribute to Miley Cyrus ever."
The album will also feature an abridged version of "Harry Dean," a previously 17-minute epic the band originally recorded to soundtrack Saint Laurent Paris's Spring/Summer 2016 presentation. Having discovered SWMRS during their blistering performance at Burgerama IV, Saint Laurent creative director Hedi Slimane shot portraits of the band before commissioning a piece of music and asking members of the band to walk in his Paris runway show.
In September, SWMRS wrapped a US tour supporting Wavves and Twin Peaks. Praising the band's energetic Seattle performance, tastemaker independent radio station KEXP offered, "Part pop punk, part ruthless west coast surf, SWMRS are just what the kids need, and we'll be seeing them again real soon." Last month, the band shared the main-stage of Orange County's influential Beach Goth music festival with Grimes, Mac Demarco, Ghost, and The Drums. SWMRS will be announcing US tour dates shortly.

Titanium composition – Dental implants are made from titanium; a material that is naturally compatible with the body. Dentures are made from plastic and cast metal; two foreign materials that can cause irritation to the gums.
Increased stability – The base of a dental implant is very similar to the root structure of a natural tooth. This provides more stability than you would get with dentures, which simply rest on top of the gums.
Replace single or multiple teeth – Dental implants can replace any number of teeth. Dentures can only be used for multiple missing teeth.
Long term solution – Dentures generally need to be replaced every five to seven years. Dental implants can last an entire lifetime with proper care and maintenance.
Preservation of bone and tissue – Implants actively stimulate the jawbone to promote growth and prevent deterioration. Over time, dentures will allow the facial structure to deteriorate and enhance any signs of aging.
While both treatment options replace missing teeth, getting dental implants is more sustainable in the long term. Not only do they look and feel natural, but they help to preserve the facial structure and are resistant to decay. Patients who received dental implants over two decades ago continue to report optimum functionality.

Sheffield United step up interest in Conor Hourihane
by George McGibbon	share
Sheffield United are stepping up their interest in a deal to bring Conor Hourihane to Bramall Lane this summer.
That's according to a claim made by Reach journalist Darren Witcoop, who revealed in a post on Twitter that Slavisa Jokanovic has now turned his attention to the Aston Villa central midfielder as Fulham have informed the Serbian manager that his primary summer target, Tom Cairney, is not for sale.
The Athletic recently reported both United and West Bromwich Albion's interest in the 30-year-old, who is entering the final year of his contract at Villa Park.
And, it would now appear as if Sheffield United are in the driving seat for the Republic of Ireland international, with Witcoop stating: "Sheffield United now stepping up their interest in Aston Villa midfielder Conor Hourihane."
Would Hourihane be a good signing?
Big coup
Considering the vast amount of Championship experience Hourihane has under his belt, it is an easy argument to make that the midfielder would be a big coup if Sheffield United do go on to land the 30-year-old ahead of West Brom this summer.
Indeed, over his 46 Championship appearances during Aston Villa's promotion-winning campaign back in 2018/19, the £3.15m-rated man scored eight goals, registered 12 assists and created 11 big chances for his teammates, as well as taking an average of 1.8 shots and making 1.6 key passes per game.
These returns saw the man Dean Smith dubbed a "superb" player earn a seasonal SofaScore match rating of 7.20, ranking him as Villa's third-best performer in the second tier of English football that season.
The £30k-per-week midfielder also impressed over his 22 Championship appearances while on loan at Swansea City last season, scoring five goals, claiming two assists and providing two big chances for his teammates.
The Big 20/21 Championship Quiz! Question 1. Who was the top goalscorer in the Championship last season?
Kieffer Moore
Teemu Pukki
Ivan Toney
These metrics saw Hourihane earn an average SofaScore match rating of 7.02, ranking him as Steve Cooper's sixth-best performer in the league, playing a huge part in helping the Swans reach the play-off final.
As such, with United undoubtedly hoping to mount their own promotion push next season, the addition of a player who has demonstrated just how useful he is for a side fighting to secure top-flight football would undeniably be a fantastic signing for Jokanovic to get over the line this summer, especially with John Lundstram having left for Rangers.

No Tanaka on Opening Day…?
Spring training hasn't even officially started, and there is already panic about Masahiro Tanaka's arm.
Earlier today, news broke that Tanaka said he wasn't sure whether or not he would be ready to pitch on Opening Day. As soon as I read the headline, I knew there would be panic from Yankee fans, and doubts about his status as an ace from everyone around baseball.
It is his first day in Tampa – his first workout since the offseason. What is so wrong with that?
Yes, the Yankees made a huge investment in Tanaka (7 years $155 million, plus a $20 million posting fee) and yes, they expect him to be an ace. We already know about his partial UCL tear, trips to the disabled list in 2014 and again in 2015, and he underwent surgery to remove a bone spur from his throwing arm this offseason. I understand fans concern about Tanaka. I understand fans frustration about what we've seen from Tanaka during his first two seasons in MLB.
I, too, would love for Tanaka to put the injuries behind him and be the ace the Yankees expected him to be when they signed him. But for right now, it's entirely too early to judge his upcoming season. Likewise, it's entirely too early to panic about his arm.
Regardless of whether or not he had surgery in the offseason, this is Tanaka's first workout after the offseason. No pitcher is going to feel 100% ready to go on Opening Day after one workout. Spring training doesn't even officially start until Thursday for pitchers and catchers. There are a lot of workouts and a lot of throwing for Tanaka (and all the pitchers) between now and Opening Day.
There are many factors that will go into deciding when Tanaka is ready to make his first regular season start. There are doctors, trainers, management, and even Tanaka himself who will all have a say in when he's ready to pitch. For the amount of money the Yankees have invested in one arm, I don't blame them for being cautious – and they've shown they're not afraid to rest him when needed. Being overly optimistic about his Opening Day status right now is of no benefit to anyone.
Had Tanaka said this a week before the regular season, this would be an entirely different situation. We are just under a week until spring training starts. As much as we all want baseball back right now, there are still several weeks to go.
Before fans lose faith in Tanaka or raise your blood pressure worrying, ask yourself this: Would you rather Tanaka rehab properly and pitch well this year (Opening Day or not), or rush his rehab just to pitch Opening Day and suffer a worse injury later?
The answer is simple to me.

Oculus owes ZeniMax $500 million after founder Palmer Luckey breaks NDA [UPDATED]
Joey Davidson
UPDATE: Two things, as we've received clarification from a PR rep. First, the total Zenimax in the suit was actually $6 billion, with $4 billion towards punitive and $2 billion to actual damages.
Second, Oculus released this statement.
"The heart of this case was about whether Oculus stole ZeniMax's trade secrets, and the jury found decisively in our favor. We're obviously disappointed by a few other aspects of today's verdict, but we are undeterred. Oculus products are built with Oculus technology. Our commitment to the long-term success of VR remains the same, and the entire team will continue the work they've done since day one – developing VR technology that will transform the way people interact and communicate. We look forward to filing our appeal and eventually putting this litigation behind us."
Original Story: Over the last few weeks, a lawsuit has been unfolding between Oculus, the Facebook-owned company behind the Oculus Rift, and ZeniMax, the parent company of Bethesda. Yes, that Bethesda. That's now finished, and the jury has ordered that Oculus pay ZeniMax $500 million.
The two companies have a long and unique history as it relates to the development of virtual reality. In 2014, ZeniMax wound up suing Oculus, alleging that the company had essentially pulled off a corporate heist and stolen trade secrets in order to design and produce the Oculus Rift.
In closing arguments, as detailed by Polygon, ZeniMax's counsel argued that Oculus owed the company closer to $4 billion spread over compensation and damage. The jury ruled that Oculus had not misappropriated trade, instead ruling that Oculus CEO Palmer Luckey failed to comply with a signed non-disclosure agreement. The bill for breaking the NDA? Half a billion dollars.
Oculus is lucky to be owned by Facebook
I can't pretend to know how Oculus would have weathered this storm if it were still an independent company. Thanks to being acquired by Facebook, though, it has a parent company that can likely handle the $500 million loss and the hefty legal fees. Facebook bought Oculus in a deal worth $2 billion. Interestingly, it only paid around $400 million in cash for the purchase, the rest came from Facebook stock.
We'll see how this shakes out, though I can't imagine Zuckerberg's too happy right now.
