Go-ahead for Hammerson's £350m London Wall scheme
Developer Hammerson has been granted planning to develop twin buildings, totalling 500,000 sq ft in London's Square Mile.
Following the decision by the City of London's planning committee to rubberstamp the scheme, it will now go before mayor Boris Johnson for final approval within the next two weeks.
The £350m London Wall Place office scheme was formerly known as the St Alphage site, but has been redesigned by architects MAKE.
The largest of the two buildings, 121 London Wall, is designed as a 300,000 sq ft headquarter office building adjacent to Moorhouse its smaller sister at 123 London Wall, which will provide 195,000 sq ft of office space in a 16-storey tower.
Martin Jepson, managing director at Hammerson, said: "There has been overwhelming recognition from City of London Members of the scheme's quality and this is a result of our commitment to constantly evolving the design and challenging traditional preconceptions of both the site and occupier's needs."
Hammerson is seeking a prelet for 121 London Wall. Construction completion is due in 2014 for fit-out, ready for occupation in mid-2014.

Top 10 Spooky Dogs
c5f1fa09-aa57-4b49-8bec-8c1ac4945562
Dogs have appeared in a number of supernatural sightings, and many authors have been unable to resist incorporating them into their own eerie tales, says Karen Bush.
1. The legendary demonic Black Dog of Kettleness provided Bram Stoker with the perfect way to get his equally legendary creation — Dracula — onto British soil.
On arriving at Whitby, he vampire leaps ashore from his ship in the form of a ferocious black hound. There has been some speculation as to whether Stoker might actually have glimpsed the fabled hound himself, rather than merely being aware of the local tales.
2. One of Bram Stoker's friends, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, was both a dog owner and a believer in the paranormal, and combined the two interests in probably the most famous of his stories, featuring super-sleuth Sherlock Holmes. He borrowed the underlying legend of the 'Hound of the Baskervilles' from the tale of Sir Richard Cabell, who is said to ride out across Dartmoor with his phantom hounds on every anniversary of his death. It's claimed that if you walk around his tomb seven times, then stick a finger through the railings surrounding it, either Squire Cabell, or one of his hounds, will bite your fingers!
3. The Moddey Dhoo was Sir Walter Scott's choice of spectral canine muse. Said to haunt Peel Castle on the Isle of Man, legend has it anyone who sees it will die soon after. It makes a cameo appearance in Scott's poem 'The Lay of the Last Minstrel': "For he was speechless, ghastly, wan, Like him of whom the story ran, Who spoke the spectre hound in Man."
4. As well as being a consummate dog lover, who shared his home with Camp, Nimrod, Spice, Triton, Ginger, and his special favourite, Maida, Sir Walter Scott evidently had a fondness for the Moddey Dhoo legend as it pops up in his novel 'Peveril of the Peak'. He does employ a bit of artistic licence, however, scaling it up to appear as a large, fearsome, shaggy black mastiff, whereas a local historian writing in 1731 describes it as looking more like a black spaniel with curly fur.
5. Werewolves are another old favourite of story tellers. One of the earliest was King Lycaon in Ovid's 'Metamorphoses', transformed into a wolf as a punishment for his horrible deeds. Werewolf stories became increasingly popular during the Middle Ages, even making an appearance in Malory's epic 'King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table'. In more modern times they are right back in fashion, featuring in Stephenie Meyer's 'Twilight' series and in a more light-hearted tone in Terry Pratchett's Discworld books. A werewolf was also responsible for actor Oliver Reed getting his first big break, when he starred in the 1960s Hammer film 'The Curse of the Werewolf'.
6. Many writers have drawn on traditional Black Dog folklore. These fearsome, supernatural creatures, usually huge in size with glowing eyes, are known throughout the length and breadth of the British Isles.
One of the most memorable plays a key part in the best-selling Harry Potter books, written by J.K. Rowling (owner of Jack Russell Butch, rescue Greyhound Sapphire, and Westie Bronte). At one point Harry is stalked by a spectral black dog, interpreted at first as a bad omen. It turns out to be his godfather Sirius Black, nicknamed Padfoot, one of the many regional names for Black Dogs.
7. British rock band The Darkness, from Suffolk, needed only to look a few miles down the road for inspiration when composing the song 'Black Shuck', on their debut album. It tells of how the spectral black dog appeared at a church in Bungay in 1577, bursting open the doors with a great clap of thunder, killing two people, and destroying the steeple. The trail of death and destruction continued at another local church at Blytheburgh, taking the lives of three more and leaving scorched claw marks on the door, which can still be seen to this day.
8. 'My little old dog: A heartbeat at my feet' — most dog lovers will know this epigram written by Edith Wharton, a passionate dog lover from the age of four, when she was given a spitz. Novelist, poet, and the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize, she also produced a collection of ghost stories including 'Kerfol', about a house haunted by canine spectres. In a neat example of life imitating art, her former home The Mount, in Massachusetts, is reputed to be haunted by the ghosts of her adored dogs, six of whom are buried in the grounds — although none were the victims of, or involved in, murder!
9. In Goethes' tragedy 'Faust', the Devil first appears to the scholar while he is out on a walk. Presumably to avoid drawing attention to himself, he takes the form of a stray black Poodle while following him home — where he then reveals his true nature.
10. Many stories about the Wild Hunt have been handed down through the generations; the demonic hounds have been heard, and sometimes seen, on wild and stormy nights, pursuing damned souls to their place of torment. These legends have also provided rich pickings for authors, with fantasy classics such as Alan Garner's 'The Moon of Gomrath' and Susan Cooper's 'The Dark is Rising', featuring spectacular and triumphant appearances by the Wild Hunt chasing and scattering the forces of evil. They have been immortalised in verse too, by poet laureate William Wordsworth (whose favourite dog, Pepper, was a gift from Sir Walter Scott), probably best known to most for his vision of dancing daffodils. Inspired by the spectral pack of hounds said to hunt the skies over Devon, he penned the following lines:
"He … oftentimes will start, For overhead are sweeping Gabriel's Hounds, Doomed, with their impious lord, the flying hart, To chase for e'er through aerial grounds."


I experienced a few firsts yesterday: the first time I've ever shot a wedding without meeting the couple first, the first time I've shot the wedding of a couple who's been engaged two months, the first time I've ever shot another photographer's wedding (he's awesome! Seriously, see for yourself at LostTrailStudios.com!), and my first Coopers Rock wedding. I don't know how I've made it 30 years of living in Morgantown without ever experiencing a wedding at Coopers Rock, but I have.
Tyler messaged me, not to long ago, asking if I would be willing to photograph the wedding of he and Kayla, his bride. He let me know that the ceremony and reception would be very laid back and explained the details that they had planned. The minute he said "laid back" I was all in. I often look back on my own wedding day and wish we would've done something as simple as a small ceremony in the woods. Too much of our time was spent worried about minute details that didn't even matter in the long run. I wish more of my day was spent hand in hand with my husband and less time worried about decor. Tyler and Kayla had the right idea. They wanted a small ceremony surrounded by their closest friends and family with a reception at a local restaurant that could take care of the tiny details for them.
We decided on immediate family, close friends and family meeting at Coopers Rock Overlook one Saturday afternoon for a quick ceremony with an awesome display of God's handiwork.
I forced myself not to look at Tylers work beforehand because I knew it would make me even more nervous about the fact that I was about to photograph a photographer. That's a pretty nerve-racking thing in our world. So I basically went into this situation completely blind. I only knew about them what Tyler had told to me on their questionnaire. They've been together less than two years and they've only been engaged a couple of months. Kayla wanted something as simple as a courthouse wedding, but Tyler talked her into a ceremony that would allow her to experience her father walking her down the aisle (awwwww!). Tyler's boys were excited about the big day, and Kayla was the most laid back bride I've ever met. That's basically all I knew.
I parked, got out of my car, and started walking down the trail to the overlook at Coopers. My plan was to ask anyone in wedding attire if they were attending a wedding for a bride and groom named Kayla and Tyler. Take that, social anxiety! Luckily I found a kind group of people who were, in fact, part of the wedding who let me awkwardly stand in trees and bushes to photograph them while they waited on the main act.
The first time I met Tyler and Kayla they were walking down the aisle. Crazy, right?! It didn't take long at all to feel like I've known them forever, though. They're kind and funny and easy going people who got to experience sharing their love with other people who know and love them. Kayla smiled with her whole face all day, and it was the most beautiful thing. You can tell they're crazy about each other. It was a gorgeous day, and I was honored to be a part of it.


When we first started this business, we set up our wax melting units under a 10'x10′ tent. We worked outdoor fairs and festivals as well as indoor arts and craft fairs.
In 2016 we bought a 22′ RV so we can take the business mobile to birthday parties and special events. We installed a permanent unit for wax hand making and coloring, and left plenty of room for guests to watch and wait their turn.

John McCain: Profile in Courage
"I hope we can again rely on humility, on our need to cooperate, on our dependence on each other to learn how to trust each other again and by so doing better serve the people who elected us."
"Let's trust each other. Let's return to regular order. We've been spinning our wheels on too many important issues because we keep trying to find a way to win without help from across the aisle. That's an approach that's been employed by both sides, mandating legislation from the top down, without any support from the other side, with all the parliamentary maneuvers that requires."
"What have we to lose by trying to work together to find those solutions? We're not getting much done apart. I don't think any of us feels very proud of our incapacity. Merely preventing your political opponents from doing what they want isn't the most inspiring work. There's greater satisfaction in respecting our differences, but not letting them prevent agreements that don't require abandonment of core principles, agreements made in good faith that help improve lives and protect the American people."
Above are three excerpts from John McCain's impassioned speech to the United States Senate on
Tuesday, July 25, 2017. McCain's speech was a much-needed plea for civility and decency in American politics. His was a welcome voice in the terrible Age of Trump. This 80-year-old man, recently diagnosed with brain cancer, stood before the American people and renounced the polarizing politics of President Donald J. Trump.
Then, in the early hours of Friday, July 28, 2017, McCain and two female Republicans senators, Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, combined to defeat a pared-down bill to repeal the Affordable Health Act, commonly known as Obamacare. They rebelled at the way this so-called "skinny repeal" bill was being rammed down the throats of Americans with little consultation and bipartisan input.. They refused to succumb to threats and bullying. As, a result, much to the disappointment and consternation of Tea Party Republicans, the bill was defeated by a vote of 49-51. It was a dramatic moment and a crushing defeat for Donald Trump and his politics of intimidation.
John McCain is a conservative American and I am a Canadian of mostly liberal persuasion. I was pleased when Barack Obama defeated him for the presidency of the United States in 2008. However, Senator McCain did something heroic and courageous on July 28 and I admire him for it. Unlike some spineless Republicans, he did not put partisan politics about the national good.
McCain, a naval aviator, was shot down during the Vietnam War. He was a prisoner of war and held captive for five years in Hanoi. He refused early release despite being beaten repeatedly. Yet Donald Trump had the unmitigated gall to say, "He's not a war hero. He's a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured."
Even the most vocal opponents of the war in Vietnam can see that John McCain has the courage of his convictions. This is a man who endured five years of torture as a POW. No wonder he refused to be bullied by the likes of Donald Trump. Toward the end of his speech, McCain turned to criticize Trump. He declared that the Senate was not to bow down to a Republican president. "Whether or not we are of the same party, we are not the president's subordinates. We are his equal," he said. Alluding to to Trump's campaign mantra, he said, "We don't hide behind walls. We bridge them."
Obamacare may be flawed, but it is far superior to the bill cobbled together by a group of wealthy white GOP males. It's time that Republican work together to improve Obamacare, not repeal and replace it. The repeal of Obamacare would mean that millions of Americans, especially the poor, elderly and vulnerable, would lose their health care coverage. No one should have to choose between putting food on the table and paying medical medical bills.
Now that many Americans have enjoyed the benefits of public health coverage, they will not let it slip away easily. They will not be intimidated. Most Canadians, including myself, treasure our public health care coverage. We would never willingly relinquish our government health insurance cards.

CLIMATE CRISIS: TIME IS RUNNING OUT.
Climate change is real. It is not a hoax. It has been scientifically proven. The world must come together and deal with it decisively before it is too late. The hurricanes, floods and wildfires are becoming more frequent and more destructive. The clock is ticking. AUSTRALIA IS BURNING! (Click on image above).
DONALD TRUMP SHOULD BE IMPEACHED!
The United States and the rest of the world cannot afford another four years of this man. Return America to decency. The Oath of Allegiance is to the United States, not to Donald Trump. Americans, if you are undecided, don't vote for another four years of racism, locking kids in cages, misogyny, lying, bullying, gun violence, criminality and obstruction of justice, harming the environment and ignoring climate change, no minimum wage increases for workers, no health insurance for millions, tax breaks for billionaires and bribing foreign leaders to dig up dirt on political opponents..

Poultry 2010: Where we are now
Chicken may have benefitted from a switch in consumer buying habits
Most analysts agree that while the global economic recession starting in 2008 has had the effect of depressing the market for all meats, the poultry meat sector appears to have been affected less severely than those of other animal proteins. There are even claims that chicken has benefitted from a switch in consumer buying habits away from the purchase of more expensive meats.
Those marketing meat in the developed-economy regions such as North America and Europe have reported finding sales increases for smaller cuts and cheaper products at the expense of premium items.
Canada provides an example. The organization Turkey Farmers of Canada (TFC) has referred to a Statistics Canada report showing total Canadian per-capita meat consumption declining from 88 kilograms (kg) in 2008 to 87.4 kg in 2009, of which poultry meat represented 37.7 kg. The timing of this decrease was recognized as being linked to the recession that caused many consumers to cut back on food expenditures. Turkey meat consumption was also affected, down from 4.5 kg to 4.4 kg. However, a major part of the reduction was found to be due to a lower consumption of further processed items rather than of whole birds or fresh cuts.
The further processed category mainly involves breast meat, according to TFC. As boneless, skinless breast meat accounts for approximately 25% of the carcass weight of a turkey, a 1-kg drop in breast-meat sales is equivalent to a cutback in production of 4 kg live weight. In particular the sales drop has hit the demand for turkeys weighing more than 9 kg, since most of these enter the further processing stream. In Canada, the use of turkeys over 9 kg declined by 7.8 million kilograms between 2008 and 2009.
Chicken outperforms other meats
Chart 1 sets out how the U.S. department of agriculture expected production of the main meats to develop in 2010 in major producing countries and regions, as presented by Nan-Dirk Mulder of Rabobank to the 2010 Alltech international symposium. The poultry industry was expected to outperform those of pork and beef, he commented, growing by 3% compared with a 1.6% annual increase for pork and a 0.7% drop for beef as the global meat market recovered from recession.
The imponderables continue to be feed costs and the volatility of exchange rates. A recent analysis for the European Commission pointed out that approximately one-third of all grain harvested globally is used in feed for production animals. Its price is being influenced not only by climatic conditions and their effects on harvests, but also by the growing linkage between the prices of commodities such as grains and of oil. Additionally, producers must contend with rising costs for their energy inputs and for water.
As 2010 started, the global market seemed to be settling back to historically normal levels for price after the record peaks reached in 2008/09 (see Chart 2, from data compiled by Bloomberg). But the outlook for feed costs became unsettled again during the year when inclement weather reduced crop sizes in several of the largest producing countries.
Changes in industry structure
A more positive aspect was that various reports spoke of a surging demand for livestock products. They also explained that major changes were occurring in the structure of livestock and poultry production around the world. Expansion by the largest players and their increasing degree of vertical integration had widened the gap between them and the rest of the industry in their operating area.
Even so, the poultry business in 2010 remains relatively fragmented. In a few exceptions such as the USA and Thailand the market share held by the three largest production companies is already in the range of 55-60%. In Brazil and Russia the Top-3 poultry producers reportedly share just over one-quarter of the market nationally. However, in the European Union it is still under 15% and in China no more than 6%.
The latest annual survey of American broiler producing/processing companies conducted by WATTPoultryUSA has charted the trend to consolidation in the U.S. industry as in Chart 3. Its data for 2009 revealed that, out of the almost 33,000 metric tons ready-to-cook (RTC) of broiler meat produced per week, the three largest companies accounted for about 46.4% and the Top-10 combined share was nearly 74.7%. Its listing of the 10 largest for production in 2009 is shown in Table 1.

A mainly classroom based course split into Part I and Part II with some distance learning between the two classroom sessions. This course replaces the City and Guilds Forensic Collision Investigation Course withdrawn by City and Guilds from 2013. This course can also be studied mainly by distance learning.
The course starts by revisiting the maths and physics necessary to understand the discipline before applying these principles to the techniques used in collision reconstruction. This is reinforced during practical sessions when students put these techniques into practice.
Part I (4 weeks classroom) This part of the courses covers ENGS1003, Collision Fundamentals including maths, physics and reconstruction techniques. Practical work includes learning how to skid test, identify marks and examine and record collision scenes. There is a short introduction to the statistics however most of statistics is studied by distance learning between the Part I and Part II course.
Collision case studies (ENGS1002) involves preparing and submitting two reconstruction reports and a scale plan. The coursework submissions are submitted prior to by the date of the final examination.
Part II (2 weeks classroom) takes place just prior to DMU's final exam (the conclusion part of ENGS1003). The course mainly comprises revision of the syllabus, examination technique and practice papers.
This course assumes that you have studied mathematics in the past attaining a GCSE pass or equivalent.
We highly recommend that you sit Maths for CI's before attempting the UCPD.
A mix of classroom and distance learning.
You will need a scientific calculator, a computer and access to the internet and some form of headphones or earphones. We recommend any Casio calculator with a 'Natural Display'.
This method of studying the UCPD means that the majority of the course is taught in the classroom. Statistics is studied by distance learning with online weekly tutorials. Throughout you have access to a tutor who will assist and guide you when required.
Your course tutors will mark and comment on your coursework. There are a number of phase tests during Part I with a final test at the end of the course. Coursework assessment between Part I and Part II and a final unseen examination following the Part II Course.
A Level 4 University Continuing Professional Development Certificate in Forensic Road Collision Investigation awarded by De Montfort University, Leicester UK. Credit value 60 credits.
Check the course calendar to see when the next presentation is and phone student registrations on the main number to book a place.

BUFFALO, N.Y — University at Buffalo researchers in several disciplines are collaborating to develop a new data science training curriculum for library and information science graduate students, and practicing health science librarians.
· Data analytics or analysis, a scientific, mathematical and statistical area in which data is "cleaned" to enable accurate evaluations or calculations.
· Data management, in which librarians confront the issue of how best to manage the data deluge and focus on instilling in data users best practices regarding the importance of proper data handling and management.
· Data archiving/curation, which focuses on alleviating technical issues researchers face, such as data loss, version issues, management of obsolete file formats in long-term projects and provision of secure collaboration tools.
· Data visualization, in which librarians create visual representations of data in order to more powerfully explore, examine and communicate the meaning of the data.
· Terminology/ontology, in which librarians work to develop the skills that will enable them to partner with ontologists — people who specialize in the study of organizing and categorizing knowledge on a topic — in order to better find, organize, categorize, integrate and label relevant data.

Gerrard retires from international football
England and Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has announced his retirement from International duty.
The 34-year-old earned 114 caps playing for the three Lions over a 14-year period.
His last three caps came at this summer's World Cup where England suffered a disastrous campaign and were eliminated from the group stage for the first time since 1958.
But the player insists his decision to hang up his England boots was for other reasons.
He said: "I've made my decision on my age, on my body, on being fair to Liverpool Football Club; being respectful to them especially with having the Champions League back, that was a huge factor. To ask my body now, the way it is, and what it's been through to play international football and domestic football was too much of an ask."
Gerrard, who is England's third most-capped player behind Peter Shilton and David Beckham, will now concentrate all his efforts on Liverpool, who return to Champions League football for the first time since the 2009/2010 campaign.

LaborChart Acquired By Procore
US-based workforce management startup LaborChart, which caters specifically to the construction industry, has been acquired by construction management software firm Procore. Although the financial terms were not disclosed, LaborChart received Series A funding in early 2020 from Five Elms Capital, which is known to invest between US$5-75 million in its portfolio companies.
According to the announcement last Friday, LaborChart's entire team of 40-odd people, including CEO and founder Ben Schultz, will join Procore. The LaborChart platform will be integrated into Procore's existing workforce management solutions.
Tooey Courtemanche, founder, and CEO of Procore said: "Construction is facing a global labor shortage, with contractors struggling to find skilled workers. This makes it critical to efficiently manage existing workforces. "With the addition of LaborChart, Procore will be able to provide a complete workforce management solution that helps contractors optimize their workforces, maximize productivity, and take on more projects."
He also said LaborChart's workforce dataset is complementary to Procore's existing construction industry dataset. However, it's worth noting that LaborChart's clientele appears to be almost entirely US-based, while Procore, which is headquartered in the US, states that it has users in around 125 countries and offices in North and South America, the UK, and Australia.
