Splash the cash!
7Mar 2016 7 Mar 2016
Council urged to match public's donations to community-run leisure centre
Plaid Cymru – the Party of Wales' Assembly candidate for Clwyd South has called on Wrexham Council to match the donations made by the public to fund essential maintenance work at community-run Splash Magic leisure centre.
Mabon ap Gwynfor, who is among hundreds of people to donate £3 to the popular leisure complex, said: "The leisure centre was the focus of a huge public campaign to keep it open and, when the council failed to listen, people came together to re-open it as a community cooperative. As with all such ventures, goodwill can only take you part of the way. Money is needed to make essential repairs and improvements to the building.
"It's a testa ment to the management team, staff and volunteers who run Splash Magic that things have gone so well in the first year but they now need additional funding for essential maintenance work. Local people are donating in their droves through a simple text message and I call on Wrexham Council to match those donations pound for pound.
"Not only would it give the community an added incentive to raise funds, it's the least the council can do. This is the council that allowed the centre to deteriorate for years before it closed and failed to carry out vital maintenance work. The council benefits hugely from having a busy leisure centre that boosts health and well-being in the county. It's not too much to ask it to support Splash with a little more cash."
Anybody wishing to contribute to the #MakingWaves Splash text donation campaign can do so by texting SPLA34 £3 to 70070.

Economic Development Efforts Help Build A Vibrant Community
The first full week of May is International Economic Development Week (EDW). It's an opportune time to reflect on the importance of local economic development efforts in constructing a vibrant community and sustainable economy.
Economic development efforts are often misunderstood because they generally happen behind the scenes, outside of the public eye. The International Economic Development Council created EDW in 2016 to help raise awareness for economic development and the ripple effects it has on communities.
EDW is a chance to recognize economic developers, the local leaders and organizations that work tirelessly to recruit investors, develop businesses, create jobs, enhance the tax base and ultimately improve the quality of life of their communities.
Elk River's Economic Development Authority (EDA) is an arm of the Elk River City Council and a public corporation. The EDA was established in 1987 and is empowered to take on a range of economic development projects. This may include acquiring, developing, improving, and disposing of property, entering into contracts, and operating and maintaining public affairs.
President Dan Tveite has been involved with the EDA for nearly two decades. "The purpose is to attract and retain key business within the community to make sure we have a sustained economy and don't just rely on being a bedroom community of the Twin Cities," he says.
The EDA has a comprehensive range of services aimed at building the local economy, creating jobs and supporting area businesses. Here are some of the primary ways the EDA's work betters our community:
Support for entrepreneurs and small businesses
The EDA serves as a valuable resource for new and developing companies. From advising on basic topics like business planning to helping find a location and identify financing, these services are integral to assisting with early-stage business success.
Business attraction, retention and expansion
The EDA works to attract businesses. Staff are continually looking for opportunities to bring businesses to Elk River. The EDA has focused on attracting a specific subsection of manufacturing businesses that craft highly specialized products and employ 20-50 people. Tveite says attracting such companies has been a goal over the past 20 years as they are "more recession-proof than general machine shops."
Such targeted recruitment has helped the city develop a reputation as a light industrial hub of the Northwest Twin Cities Metro area. This specialized niche necessitates skilled labor, which translates to higher paying jobs for the community.
Helping businesses that already exist in the community is also a critical EDA task. Staff work to maintain good relationships and communication with the business community. They offer advice and technical assistance to help companies problem-solve to optimize their chances for success and expansion.
EDA staff can assist companies with accessing resources and financing to enable renovations, equipment upgrades or infrastructure improvements. They can also advocate for businesses when needed to ensure the business development and expansion process is streamlined as much as possible.
Assistance with workforce development
Finding skilled workers is one of the primary challenges for businesses today. That's why economic developers work closely with local partners to help build and maintain a strong local workforce. The EDA helps companies with recruitment as well as developing tailored training opportunities for in-demand jobs.
The Youth Skills Training Program is an ongoing partnership between ISD 728 and area employers to help prepare the next generation of trades workers. It offers students a chance to explore manufacturing careers and participate in valuable work-based learning.
In addition, Anoka Technical College has a unique partnership with area companies to offer specific curriculum and training. The mutually beneficial partnership helps ensure businesses have the skilled workforce they need and helps match workers with gainful employment.
Providing funds for businesses
Economic developers are knowledgeable about business financing. They can help new and existing businesses identify the capital and incentives they need to start up and grow.
The EDA has a myriad of financing options, from microloans to improve energy efficiency to financing that creates a bridge to make a project commercially feasible. Tax abatement and tax increment financing may also be available to businesses, depending on the number of jobs created or tax revenue generated.
From its easy highway access to its probusiness climate and skilled workforce, Elk River has an attractive infrastructure for business. The EDA is at the forefront of marketing Elk River to prospective investors and residents. Staff work to identify and promote the community's assets and business advantages to the larger world.
Economic Development Success Stories
The EDA played an integral role in successfully attracting Die Concepts to Elk River. The company, which machines high quality precision dies, relocated from Ramsey County. The EDA worked alongside the owner to help him access a microloan and forgivable loan to revitalize a once blighted property and rebuild a manufacturing facility from the ground up. The well respected company has brought a number of quality jobs to the community.
As the largest private employer in Elk River, Sportech is integral to the community. The EDA established a great partnership with the company, which is an industry leader in aftermarket add ons for the powersports industry. When Sportech was scouting locations to build new offices and a production facility, the EDA worked with the company to retain it with an attractive tax increment financing option. The company returns the favor by providing quality jobs and offering good employees opportunities to advance and access training and education.
"We help provide resources to make companies successful. So many people view public and private sectors as in conflict," says Tveite. "We help bridge that gap a bit and try to see how the sectors can work together."

Enticing Businesses to Stay
Trying to attract businesses from outside the community or launching startup businesses are key economic development activities. However, economic developers generally agree that the most practical strategy for growth is Business Retention and Expansion, or keeping established businesses in the community.

Ryan Christensen will line up in a new look Canyon Eisberg squad in 2019 as it brings on board its new title sponsor of dhb and Bloor Homes. 2018 saw Ryan break through into European racing with the team and enjoy success most recently at the Tour of Quanzhou Bay.
At the end of 2018 Ryan Christensen can look back on a busy season that took his career to the next level. With Canyon Eisberg he tackled racing in Belgium, the Netherlands, Britain, Austria and China. November provided one last hurrah in the international season for Christensen as he lined up at the Tour of Quanzhou Bay and took 9th in stage 2 on his way to 5th overall behind teammate and race winner Max Stedman.
In 2019 dhb and Bloor Homes will replace Eisberg as title sponsors of the team, with the outfit now being known as Canyon dhb p/b Bloor Homes. Eisberg will continue to support the team as will Lamb & Watt, Maxxis, Hunt Bike Wheels, Roadwheel, Sidi, 3T, Saddleback, Hayden Brothers and Peaty's.
Tim Elverson, team owner and sports director, said, "I look back on the 2018 season with a great deal of pride, so it is very exciting to now be moving into 2019.
In the ever-changing environment of team setups, where 2018 saw the likes of Shane Archbold and Aaron Gate's Aqua Blue Sport, Hayden McCormick and James Oram's ONE Pro Cycling and JLT-Condor all come to an end; Canyon dhb p/b Bloor Homes have benefited with increased support from their sponsors which will continue to benefit young riders and Ryan Christensen into 2019.

Dr. Kersey is going about living his life, until one dreadful day. Paul Kersey's family is endangered, Dr. Kersey swears revenge upon those who had wronged him, and from there everything changes. He will do anything in his power to make sure these anonymous men pay. Dr. Paul Kersey (Bruce Willis) is a surgeon who only sees the aftermath of his city's violence as it's rushed into his ER -until his wife (Elisabeth Shue) and college-age daughter (Camila Morrone) are viciously attacked in their suburban home. With the police overloaded with crimes, Paul, burning for revenge, hunts for his family's assailants to deliver justice. As the anonymous slayings of criminals grabs the media's attention, the city wonders if this deadly avenger is a guardian angel...or a grim reaper. Fury and fate collide in the intense action-thriller Death Wish. Entertaining, witty, and aggressive; just what the Dr. ordered. Bruce Willis's performance does leave a bit to be desired, at times a bit too monotone in scenes where you wouldn't expect it and not always believable, but he still brings some of his typical charm. Hats off to Director Eli Roth who "saved the day" in my book when it came to some of those lesser moments. There were some glaring issues with the forensics aspect of the story and such that bothered me a bit, but, the movie was entertaining enough to let it go. Overall, sort of a mix between Die Hard and what a sequel to Unbreakable could have been. If you are looking for a bang-bang no-nonsense shoot 'em up, you might be a bit disappointed. If you want an action movie with a dose of comedy (and perhaps secretly tells what many anti-gun liberals are really feeling on the inside), then this it. Now, how about that Unbreakable sequel, someone? You sort of have to wonder why people are so keen to remake a movie.Well, no you don't - they're trying to cash in on the name and make some money.
I remember the original movies - all however-many-there-were of them. The first was arguably the best and the rest were, more or less, would-be money-spinners. So I was watching this from the perspective of the first movie.
It stands up in its own right pretty well. The inciting incident is not quite so violent, although it takes 40 minutes to get going. It also suffers from second act drag a bit, all of which pull the score down a bit. Yes, of course there are action scenes but it's not exactly action-packed.
I absolutely love Bruce and he's excellent in this, along with all the other actors, Elisabeth Shue and Dean Norris to name but two.
It doesn't actually feel like a remake which is much to the good. Not a must-see movie but you'll want to see it if you like Bruce, and probably to compare to the original if you remember it. But the real problem is that the picture feels padded. There are endless, and pointless, scenes of radio hosts debating the vigilante violence. And the wildly mismatched shoot-outs — every criminal Kersey goes up against is slow, stupid and a lousy shot — waters down the thrills.

Q: Adding Adomd parameters programmatically C# Afternoon all.
I'm building a web app and I'm attempting to pull through some data from an SSAS cube.
I have the following MDX I would like to replicate in c# but with adding a few parameters i.e. two parameteres, one for company 123 and another for location 1:
@"SELECT NON EMPTY([Dim Unit].[All Units].[Category Group Name]) ON COLUMNS
                    FROM [Info]
                    WHERE ([Dim Company].[All Companies].&[123],
                    [Dim Location].[All Locations].&[123]&[1])";

Now, I can get this up and running with one parameter:
 AdomdCommand cmdPDC = conPDC.CreateCommand();
        cmdPDC.CommandText = "SELECT [Dim Unit].[All Units].[Category Group Name].Members ON 0 FROM [Info] WHERE (StrToMember(@P1)";

        string companyid = "123";

        string sP1 = "[Dim Company].&" + company;

    cmdPDC.Parameters.Add(new AdomdParameter("P1", sP1));

But how do I then implement a second parameter, for example, if I wanted to stick a parameter in for location? I was thinking along the lines ofbelow but I can't get the little sod to work:
AdomdCommand cmdPDC = conPDC.CreateCommand();
        cmdPDC.CommandText = "SELECT [Dim Unit].[All Units].[Category Group Name].Members ON 0 FROM [Info] WHERE (StrToMember(@P1)," + "(StrToMember(@P2))";

        string companyid = "123";
        string locationid = "1";

        string sP1 = "[Dim Company].&" + company;
        string sP2 = "[Dim Location].&" + company + "&" + location;

        cmdPDC.Parameters.Add(new AdomdParameter("P1", sP1));
        cmdPDC.Parameters.Add(new AdomdParameter("P2", sP2));

Any help or advice gratefully received.

A: A solution!
AdomdCommand cmdPDC = conPDC.CreateCommand();
cmdPDC.CommandText = "SELECT NON EMPTY [Dim Unit].[All Units].[Category Name].Members ON 0 FROM [MY CUBE] WHERE (StrToMember(@CompanyId),StrToMember(@LocationId))";

string companyid = "[123]";
string locationid = "[1]";

string sCompanyId = "[Dim Company].&" + companyid;
string sLocationId = "[Dim Location].&" + companyid + "&" + locationid;

cmdPDC.Parameters.Add(new AdomdParameter("CompanyId", sCompanyId));
cmdPDC.Parameters.Add(new AdomdParameter("LocationId", sLocationId));

And a few little pointers.
You may receive this error:
"X parameter could not be resolved because it was referenced in an inner subexpression"
Resolution: When inserting the @CompanyId in the quoted string, make sure the parameter is not enclosed in apostrophes (') - c# is clever and will convert the data type and add these apostrophes in for you. However, you won't be able to see it in a watch window and all would appear to be fine.
All items are returned and it would appear that your parameters are being ignored.
Resolution: Check the very first SELECT and make sure it is SELECT NON EMPTY.

A: SELECT NON EMPTY {
[Measures].[Phone Count],
[Measures].[Mail Count],
[Measures].[Individual Count]
} ON COLUMNS
FROM [PyramidReports-US]
WHERE (
 (STRTOSET(@PoliticalGeographyByCD),
 [Political Geography].[By CD].[State].currentmember ),
 (STRTOSET(@GenderGender),
 [Gender].[Gender].currentmember ),
 (STRTOSET(@ModelAffinityAffinityQuartile),
 [Model Affinity].[Affinity Quartile].currentmember
  )

How about for a query like this that uses currentmember to populate the parameters?

What a pleasure it has been spending time this week at Glencoe. The students are polite, smart and happy to be at school. The staff is hard-working which is reflected in the outstanding instruction in each classroom. As this is my neighborhood school, I realize even more how fortunate we are to live in such an inclusive neighborhood.
Our first Connect to Kindergarten will be February 6, 2019 at 6:00 PM. This is a parents only event of incoming kinders.
2019 TAG testing for Glencoe will be on February 5th & 7th. SBAC scores are used for 4-5 grade students; however, for the other grades, a proctor will be pulling students from classes on one or both of these 2 days. The proctor makes the schedule. We do not have exact information of time(s) and day(s) for your specific child. It's important that your child is at school on time for both of these dates. Results will then be mailed to parents. This process usually takes a month or two. Next the building TAG committee will meet and look at work samples and testing results. Our recommendations will then be sent to the district and they make the final decision and notify parents.
We are recruiting new board members for the 2019-2020 school year. Board positions are 2 year terms. Open positions include President, Vice President, and Family Ambassador. Contact our nomination chair Veronica Green if you would like to get involved or nominate a friend!
A few spots are left to create a special dessert for the Dessert Dash at the auction. This is your time to share your gift of baking AND make money for our school. Each individual auction table will be bidding to win the chance to be the first to pick a dessert for their table. So, the idea is, the better the dessert, the more money we will raise! You are welcome to bake a dessert or purchase something and donate (think JaCiva, Papa Haydn, Blue Star). Interested, contact Veronica Green.

So It Looks Like Gwyneth Paltrow Is A Guest On The New Coldplay Album
Sam Murphy Nov. 19, 2015
Some of the best records have come from divorced couples taking to the mic together. Fleetwood Mac's Tusk is a product of a divorce as is ABBA's The Winner Take It All and now we can potentially add Chris Martin and Gwenyth Paltrow to that list.
The Wall Street Journal has reported that Paltrow will feature on Coldplay's forthcoming coming album A Head Full Of Dreams on a track titled Everglow. According to WSJ, it's "a ballad about a relationship's enduring spark," which also features their children and friends voices as part of a choir.
What makes things even more awkward is that Martin's current girlfriend ,actress Annabelle Wallis also features on a track on the album.
The whole record looks set to be full of guests. Beyoncé will feature on two tracks as will her daughter Blue Ivy.
"We recorded Blue Ivy Carter in New York when her mom Beyoncé was in the studio," Martin said.
Blue Ivy is basically a seasoned pro now as she's already been featured on Beyoncé's track Blue.
Unfortunately there is also some bad news. The album features a song called Hymn For The Weekend which has been described by Martin himself basically as a club banger.
"I was listening to Flo Rida or something, and I thought, it's such a shame that Coldplay could never have one of those late-night club songs, like Turn Down for What," he said.
The band had some sense though and made him change the lyric "drinks on me" to "drink from me" so that it still had some Coldplay to it. Also, Beyoncé is on it which is bound to make it better.
A Head Full Of Dreams is set to be released on 4th December. It will also feature Tove Lo, Noel Gallagher and Merry Clayton.

"Snow White and the Huntsman"
The hugely profitable Twilight series has left Hollywood scratching its collective heads. In theory, the discovery that there's a vast audience out of there of girls who don't mind cheap-looking crud churned out fast sounds financially exciting. So, let's take what's her name, the star of Twilight, Kristen Stewart, and slap her in some public domain fairy tale and maximize ROI!
The funny thing, however, is that filmmakers have a hard time getting motivated by these blatant opportunities. So, rather than make a cheap "Snow White," they decided to try to bring in the boy audience, too, by promoting The Huntsman up to titular equality with Snow White. He's played by Chris Hemsworth (Thor in The Avengers) as a fairy tale version of True Grit's drunken marshall Rooster Cogburn.
That marketing plan in turn justified a $170 million budget — and it's all up there on the screen — to make a lavish, scary, serious version of the old story with impressive levels of craftsmanship but not that much entertainment value. (For instance, the screenplay can't come up with a single laugh for Bob Hoskins to get as the eldest dwarf.)
The real star is Charlize Theron as the wicked stepmother / queen. Theron has been on a hot streak lately (e.g., last year's funny Young Adult) playing beauties who aren't as young as they used to be and aren't at all happy about it.
A major problem for "Snow White and the Huntsman" is that Theron is a star, but Stewart is not. I thought Stewart was the best thing in the one Twilight movie I saw, but that says more about the slapdash quality of those movies. All the ingenue has to do in the Twilight movies is smell nice (literally — that's the engine of the plot), but here she is supposed to be an extraordinary beauty, the embodiment of purity, and then turn into a charismatic political leader and buttkicking Joan of Arc. It would be an implausible role for any actress, and it's a massive stretch for a tomboyish actress not gifted with feminine charm.
Snow White and the Huntsman is set in mythic medieval England (and perhaps Wales), but we've seen a lot of Tolkienish fantasy-medieval England since Lord of the Rings. Snow White meets a giant stag, for example, much like in Narnia. The battle on the beach at the end is indistinguishable from the battle on the beach at the end of Ridley Scott's 2010 Robin Hood. Ye Olde British Isles have been well-served in movies lately (for example, the upcoming Pixar movie Brave looks like Braveheart with a buttkicking princess), so it's time to do some other European cultures. This famous Brothers Grimm story could have been an opportunity for a German setting.
Obviously, there's not a lot of sense in comparing Snow White and the Huntsman to Walt Disney's 1937 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which are extremely different movies. But I do want to make one observation: household chores seem to have been a much larger theme in old kids' movies. (For example, Whistle While You Work from Disney's Snow White, Cinderella scrubbing the floor, the Sorcerer's Apprentice from Fantasia, and so forth). Maybe I've just missed out on the last decade of children's movies other than Pixar's, but this does seem like it could be a big cultural shift. Perhaps children don't respond to fantasies of getting out of chores as much anymore because they don't have to do as many?

Young Africans of Faith Take Part in the 137th UNEP Committee of Permanent Representatives alongside Member States
By David Ngigi Munene
Represented by its Founding Executive Director, Allen Ottaro, and its Programs Manager, David Munene, at the UN Headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya, the Catholic Youth Network for Environmental Sustainability in Africa participated at the 137th UNEP CPR where it sits as an accredited Major Group and Stakeholder (MGS) of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) under the Children and Youth MGS.
In his report during the session, the UNEP Executive Director, Erik Solheim, provided a comprehensive brief of the past four months, ongoing and future endeavours of the UNEP. Key among these was the need to increase and enhance private sector engagement with the UNEP even as the environmental body continues to support governments. Erik also highlighted the global campaign against microplastics especially in relation to marine litter. He also reported on the continued endeavours towards simplifying language and reducing the use of abbreviations in an effort to enhance consumption of the resources produced by the UNEP.
CYNESA's Founding Executive Director, Allen Ottaro, follows proceedings at the 137th UNEP CPR in Nairobi.
During the interventions, the US appreciated efforts made towards combating lead paints and urged for additional efforts to ensure no more children die because of continued use of lead paints. The US also acknowledged the significant budgetary burden that the UNEP has to bear following the resolution to hold two United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) conventions in subsequent years. In this light, the US opposed all attempts at diverting funds intended for other purposes to supporting the UNEA3 budget. Instead, they called on the member states to support the UNEA3 budget.
On their part, Indonesia and the EU supported the adoption of pollution as the theme for UNEA3. Indonesia described the theme as timely while the EU underscored the importance of mitigating pollution. Angola supported the theme as well, but called upon urgent and fervent engagement of the private sector in combating pollution. Norway supported Angola on private sector engagement and further applauded the active role Erik continues to play networking with stakeholders. Norway also expressed specific interest in control of marine litter and micro-plastics and sought progress reports on the implementation of the GEO6 report. France pledged support for the priorities set by the UNEP Executive Director in September last year with respect to the Paris Agreement. Additionally, France reported on their evident support in the management of the Coral reefs. As an EU member, France pledged support for the UNEP in planning and stewarding UNEA3. Appreciating the formation of the Latin American and Caribbean Ministerial Forum to support UNEP especially with respect to UNEA3, Colombia offered to circulate the new altercations in the organogram to the member states.
Pakistan sought further clarification on how global publicity and visibility is being achieved and cited limitations of the Nairobi office in terms of networked communication. Pakistan also urged member states to expedite issues considering the time and structural issues besieging the progress. In ensuring such expeditiousness, Pakistan called for member states to avoid overspending time in discussing procedural and structural issues. At this point, the CPR president, H. E. Ms Julia Pataki, called for caution while commenting about the other headquarters such as Vienna and New York even while welcoming comments concerning such network centres. Iraq questioned the continued use of chemical weapons in their countries and called for a survey to ensure that the citizens returned to their homes. On behalf of the MGS, Abdulrahman of the Scientific Community and Technological Community questioned the proposals to structural alterations and the encroachment of the Nairobi National Park by the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR).
Reacting to the comments, Erik underscored that the private sector engaged traversed companies and groups of companies. He cited the example of Google, which has pledged to go 100% renewable energy by 2017. The Executive Director also wished Iraq well, acknowledging that the UNEP is not the main actor in conflict areas although it can be enjoined as a contributing partner. Erik further reiterated that the proposed structural changes are minor and had negligible impact on the operations of existing member states and constituent CPR. In response to Pakistan's concerns about communication and visibility, Erik explained that the UNEP remained on the positive side of ensuring the success of this endeavour. However, he reiterated that it was not within the UNEP scope to determine the operations of other headquarters.
The UNEP CPR is the Committee of Permanent Representatives that comprises all accredited UNEP Permanent Representatives and a subsidiary inter-session governing body. Its mandate scopes contribution in agenda preparation of the governing body, offering advice to the governing body on issue concerning policy, and preparation of decisions for the governing body in addition to overseeing their implementation. In addition to performing different functions that its governing body delegates, the UNEP CPR's mandate also traverses promotion of effective means for facilitative participation of Committee members that do not reside within the country and especially those from developing nations.

UK wine industry's mixed feelings ahead of Brexit vote
UK wine industry experts are eyeing the upcoming vote on whether to leave the European Union with mixed feelings.
With producers and suppliers heavily reliant on pan-European trade, many remain unsure how Brexit will impact upon business.
Sparkling wine on a summer's day in the English capital.
Glistening flutes and bottles in abundance, and a crowd of happy lunchtime drinkers add to the atmosphere of excitement and discovery, along with an impromptu game of ping pong.
It must be London Wine Week.
This is the third year of the festival, and this year is the most popular to date.
Festival director Emma Murphy says "It's the largest self-guided wine tasting that there is across London. It's kind of the only event of its kind that we have over here. So we work with 125 bars, restaurants, independent merchants who all get involved" .
But although these flutes of fizz are English sparkling wine, much of the wine the festival goers here are tasting is from EU member states such as France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Germany.
The June 23 referendum on whether to quit the European Union is fast approaching. So is this something the industry should fear?
"I wouldn't have said so," says Murphy.
"Wine trade has been going for long enough, even long before the euro, so I wouldn't have thought that would make much difference to be honest with you. Hopefully not anyway."
At the festival hub on London's Devonshire Square, there are pop-up bars featuring wines from across Europe.
These two young graduate trainees are enjoying wines from Portugal, and with their festival wristband, it costs them just five British Pounds for a flight of three.
Oscar Stenbom and Anna Rogers both agree that things may well be different if Britain leaves the union.
"If it's more expensive for them to send the wine here, if there's more tariffs, then yeah I guess it would be," says Anna, while Oscar is concerned about regulation and labelling:
"It would also be more difficult to know what you are drinking because there won't be as many restrictions on labelling the wine based on where it's actually from and the grape it's actually come from."
The New Street wine shop has been taken over by the wine festival. They sell wines from all over the world but today they are holding a tasting featuring wines from Ribera del Duero in northern Spain.
Most wine drinkers know about the region of Rioja, but Bettina Lemm is informing these festival goers about the region she represents.
"I think they (wines of Ribera del Duero) are still an emerging market, especially in the UK. The UK is an important market for Ribera del Duero, it's the seventh-largest export market for Ribera del Duero but I think that we're still establishing ourselves."
But if the UK is an important export market, is Brexit going to throw the proverbial spanner into the works? Lemm doesn't seem too worried "I think at the moment we're pretty confident as we've seen year to year that exports have grown. I think that's going to continue and I don't think it's a worry that we have at the moment," she says.
Wine used to have a rather old fashioned reputation and a comparatively elderly demographic, but this has changed enormously in recent years.
The prevalence of wine clubs popping up in the UK is an indicator of wine's increasing popularity.
Tom Harrow of Honest Grapes explains why this is "I think this is because people want to engage more with what's in the bottle. It's not just liquid, they want to know the stories behind it, they want to meet the people involved. And there's the sociable aspect, you know wine is fundamentally something which we do with other people," he says.
With 125 venues across the metropolis taking part in this festival, there's plenty of opportunity to enjoy it with friends.
But with such enthusiasm for wine spreading across the country, June 23 could bring disruption, according to Harrow "It's fair to say that we're a bit concerned about the possibilities of Brexit, I think the rising price of the euro against the pound will have a serious effect on quality wine. At the moment more than 60 percent of wine that comes into the UK is shipped in massive great tankers and bottled over here and that's not something we get involved with. But that becomes the only affordable way if the pound plummets against the euro. So I think that it won't be a good thing initially for the wine consumer because the prices of these small artisan wines will go up" .
However, the future might be bright in other, unexpected ways.
"All the English wine makers that I speak to say we are half a degree away from being a perfect climate for sparkling wines at least," says Harrow, and with apologies to climate change icon Al Gore, he adds that "global warming is a good thing for the UK sparkling wine trade."
Reports by the WSTA (Wine and Spirit Trade Association) suggest there is still some way to go as the UK comes in at number six on the list of sales of sparkling wine by origin - but it's rising year on year.
600 million bottles of wine are bottled in the UK.
This makes the UK wine market the sixth largest in the world, generating 173 billion British pounds of economic activity, according to the WSTA. 10 billion British pounds are made through sales.
Also being showcased here is one of the new kids on the alcohol block, Regal Rogue Vermouth.
According to brand founder Mark Ward, vermouth, by definition, is 75 percent wine. It must have wormwood and it must have an ABV (alcohol by volume) of 15 to 24 percent. These three things have to be in place for a producer to put vermouth on the bottle or it flouts recent EU regulations.
Ward, who was brought up in hospitality, began the project in Australia where he worked closely with top Australian chefs who introduced him to indigenous herbs and spices.
"It seemed like a really obvious thing to do, marrying the herbs and spices with this abundance of Australian wine to create a New World style of vermouth. And you know the tradition of vermouth is really led by the European markets. You know, Italian, French, now Spanish - but now there are vermouths coming out of America, the UK, Germany and obviously Australia. So pretty much anywhere where you find wine now, you will find a vermouth of some sort." he says.
Ward is attempting to educate the wine drinking market which, he believes, is mostly unaware of the fact that vermouth is fundamentally a wine.
This can only be helped by a new pop up for 2016, the Vermouth Bar.
The parent company of London Wine Week is the aptly named "Drink Up London", and they're already preparing for the 2017 event - Brexit or no Brexit.

(Responding to question Do you think a Brexit will mean it will be more difficult for people to access quality wine?)
Stenbom: "Yes,"
Rogers: "I guess so, I mean if it's more expensive for them to send the wine here, if there's more tariffs, then yeah I guess it would be."
Stenbom: "It would also be more difficult to know what you're drinking, because there won't be as many restrictions on labelling the wine based on where it's actually from and the grape it's actually come from."

"I think they (wines of Ribera del Duero) are still an emerging market, especially in the UK. The UK is an important market for Ribera del Duero, it's the seventh-largest export market for Ribera del Duero, but I think that we're still establishing ourselves. A lot of people know some big names from the region, and we're just trying to bring attention to some other grape producers who might not yet have the same recognition."

(Responding to the question are you worried about the possibility of a Brexit affecting your export market?)
"I think at the moment we're pretty confident, as we've seen year to year that exports have grown. I think that's going to continue and I don't think it's a worry that we have at the moment."

27. SOUNDBITE (English) Tom Harrow, wine director of Honest Grapes:
"There's been a real rise in wine clubs in London and the UK generally of late, and I think this is because people want to engage more with what's in the bottle. It's not just liquid, they want to know the stories behind it, they want to meet the people involved. And there's the sociable aspect, you know wine is fundamentally something which we do with other people."
28. Mid of woman laughing over a glass of wine
"It's fair to say that we're a bit concerned about the possibilities of Brexit, I think the rising price of the euro against the pound will have a serious effect on quality wine. At the moment more than 60 percent of wine that comes into the UK is shipped in massive great tankers and then bottled over here and that's not something we get involved with. But that becomes the only affordable way if the pound plummets against the euro. So I think that it won't be a good thing initially for the wine consumer because the prices of these small artisan wines will go up."
30. Woman at table with wine
"All the English wine makers that I speak to say we are half a degree away from being a perfect climate for sparkling wines at least - and even the whites, and to an extent the reds are really coming up.

"It seemed like a really obvious thing to do, marrying the herbs and spices with this abundance of Australian wine to create a New World style of vermouth. And you know the tradition of vermouth is really led by the European markets. You know, Italian, French, now Spanish - but now there are vermouths coming out of America, the UK, Germany and obviously Australia. So pretty much anywhere where you find wine now, you will find a vermouth of some sort."

Norway Brexit
A look at Norway ahead of UK EU referendum
With marching bands and all groups of society out in strength, Norway celebrates Constitution Day, taking pride in its sovereignty.
The small Scandinavian country's independence was hard won, having been ruled by Denmark for more than 400 years, and then by Sweden for nearly another century.
For some people, the experience of having been ruled from afar can explain Norway's reluctance to embrace the European Union project.
"We are on the edge of Europe and we know what it means to be governed from abroad," says Hans Petter Bergseth who is marching with friends from his skiing club. "I think it's deep in our soul that we want to be independent."
But whilst Norway has twice rejected EU membership in referendums in 1972 and 1994, the nation relies on a close relationship with Brussels. Seventy to 80 percent of all Norwegian exports go to the EU markets and cooperation is viewed as essential in the areas of education, research and many more.
Access to the EU's single market comes at a price.
Norway has signed up the European Economic Area (EEA) agreement, and therefore had to implement more than three quarters of all EU laws with no formal influence on how they are drafted.
More importantly, Norway has had to agree to four EU-style freedoms: free movement of goods, services, people and capital.
Today, Norway has more EU migrants per person than Britain. More than 300,000 EU nationals live here, mostly people from Poland and Sweden attracted by the prospects of high-paid jobs and a generous welfare state.
For many companies, this influx of foreign workers has been beneficial. In the small fishing village of Skjervoy several hours north of Tromso, a salmon processing plant has become dependent on foreign workers.
"We don't have enough Norwegian workers who want to work in the fish industry," explains plant manager Tore Pedersen.
Many of these foreign workers are from Romania, like Christian, who arrived nearly four years ago after growing tired of poorly paid jobs in Italy.
"I'm travelling with a Romanian passport, I've had no problem," he explains.
This factory processes 365 tons of fish per day: salmon fillets and whole fish destined for restaurants and dining tables across Europe. It's the main employer in the village, and managers say the business would not be able to grow without foreign workers willing to work the assembly lines.
Here, most workers are unionised and Pedersen says foreign workers are paid the same as Norwegians. Something the unions dispute.
Across the fishing industry, construction industry, hotel and restaurants, they report cases of employers using foreign workers that are not unionized and therefore don't benefit from the collective bargaining agreements that guarantee a minimum wage and regulated working conditions.
"If they don't know the system, they work up to 12 hours," complains union leader Gunn Paulsen, who was picketing a hotel during a four-week long strike across the Norwegian hotel industry calling for better pay. "They ruin it for the next (person) who's coming in, the Norwegians coming in who know the regulations."
Whilst many large hotel groups are unionized, smaller or independent ones without a protection are free to pay their staff whatever they wish. "However low they get in Norway they get higher than in other countries," said Paulsen.
For Professor Bjorn Hersoug from the Arctic University of Tromso, companies that seek to get around ordinary labour conditions by outsourcing the hiring for foreign workers represent a threat to the Norwegian model that balances free markets with a strong social welfare state.
"There is a fear of labour dumping," says Hersoug. "In some instances, it looks like they have working conditions that are considerably worse than agreed through the ordinary agreements for minimum wages for example."
But despite the challenges brought by the EEA agreement, cooperation with the EU and access to the single market remains essential for Norway.
"The EEA agreement is something I would call a corner stone in the Norwegian economy," says Elisabeth Aspaker, the Norwegian Minister of the EEA and EU Affairs.
"We have to face the reality that the EU is our most important market," she says. "We do need cooperation when it comes to research, education, and in many other aspects."

"Well, it's a young nation. Quite a proud nation. We are on the edge of Europe and we know what it means to be governed from abroad or we know what it means to be governed by larger countries. So I think it's deep in our soul that we want to be independent pretty much yes."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Tore Pedersen, Fish processing plant manager:
"We have 180 people working here at Skjervoy and 60 percent of the workers are from other countries. It's a fact that we don't have enough Norwegian workers who want to work in the fish industry, so we need people from other countries to come and work at Skjervoy."
7. Christian in front of the processing plant
8. SOUNDBITE (English) Christian, No last Name given, factory worker from Romania:
"My name is Christian and I come from Romania. I've been here for four years - almost four years. I'm travelling with a Romanian passport, I've don't have any problems with travel. We don't need a visa or something like that - it's very easy to come here from Romania. It's a nice country to come to."

14. SOUNDBITE (English) Gunn Paulsen, Union Leader:
"Before the oil strikes (meaning the fall in oil prices) it has been good for Norway because you had to have people working here, but then it started what we call in Norway the 'Monkey business' - that they started to pay lower to the people from other places, because they accept it, because however low they get in Norway they get higher than in other countries. So this is the bad thing."
15. Cutaway
"If they don't know the system, they work up to 12 hours. It's not nice because they ruin it for the next (person) who's coming in, the Norwegians coming in who know the regulations - but you can't say anything to the others working like this, because it's okay, they've always been doing this."
17. Various of Tromso harbour
18. Professor Bjorn Hersoug walking along harbour seafront
19. SOUNDBITE (English) Prof. Bjorn Hersoug, Arctic University of Tromso:
"You know, seen from the Norwegian point of view, if you can get around the ordinary salary conditions, the labour conditions by hiring a company from, for example, from Poland, and you make a deal with this Polish company where they provide you with the labour which is unorganised (non-unionized) then you are getting around the rules. You can legally pay them less, but that kind of undermines the whole Norwegian model in the longer run."
21. SOUNDBITE (English) Prof. Bjorn Hersoug, Arctic University of Tromso
"We see that we have a number of people coming from the European Union countries and in some instances it looks like they have working conditions that are considerably worse than agreed through the ordinary Norwegian agreements for minimum wages for example. So there is kind of a fear of labour dumping."
Tromso, Norway - 17 MAY 2016
Brussels, Belgium - 25 MAY 2016
23. Various of EU flags
24. SOUNDBITE (English) Elisabeth Aspaker, Minister of the EEA and EU Affairs:
"I think Norway is in a very special situation. We have this huge fortune in our oil, we have developed a solid welfare state and people think 'we can do by ourselves' or 'we can go on alone.' But in another way, we have to face the reality that the EU is our most important market, up to 70 or 80 percent of all the exported goods from Norway go to the EU market, and we do need cooperation when it comes to research, education, and in many other aspects. These days it's about migration, it's about security policy. So the EEA agreement is something I would call a corner stone in the Norwegian economy and if you go to the Parliament today, they will be a solid majority for the agreement although we are not a member of the EU."

More is less on Mars. The more data space probes send back, the stranger seems the fourth rock from the sun. Consider one of its greatest mysteries: water, or the apparent absence of it.
More is less on Mars. The more data space probes send back, the stranger seems the fourth rock from the sun. Consider one of its greatest mysteries: water, or the apparent absence of it. Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli's claims of seeing 'canali' (Italian for channels) on the Red Planet prompted a mistranslation of 'canali' to 'canals' by a world excited with the Suez Canal opening. People used it as proof that intelligent life had actually built a canal system on Mars! It even inspired H.G. Wells to pen the War of the Worlds, in 1898, envisioning 'little green men' stalking Earth.
Scientists now know that Mars was once a very wet and warm planet. Its oceans presumably disappeared when the planet went through a water cycle and it was cold enough for water to freeze. These cycles of millions of years are caused by the wobble of the Martian axis. As on Earth, the water could have escaped into the atmosphere, or frozen out near the poles and emerged onto the surface in warmer times to cut the sharp channels we now see.
In 2000, Nasa's Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft spotted hundreds of delicately filigreed gully systems that indicated swimming-pool volumes of water lying entombed underground. The frozen water must have accumulated in winter and evaporated in summer in each hemisphere. Ice doesn't melt into liquid water on Mars — instead it sublimes, changing directly from solid to gaseous state, like 'dry ice' on Earth. But as seasonal swings over centuries evaporated the polar ice caps, it'd have raised the pressure enough to keep water stable in liquid form. In 2002, the Mars Odyssey spacecraft confirmed this when it found tell-tale signs of water ice, in the upper layers of soil in a large region surrounding the south pole.
The presence of so much water (enough to fill an area ten times larger than Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh put together) means an invaluable resource for manned Mars missions — from providing fuel, oxygen and drinking water to landscaping the planet for human settlement. Since water is a prerequisite for life, these findings also hint at some form of life on Mars. But surface life is unlikely because of the absence of surface water and harsh radiation. A two million-year-old ice slab found by a European probe last year, however, suggests there were wet places beneath the Martian surface before life began on Earth, which could possibly harbour primitive micro-organic life.
All eyes are now on Nasa's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter that reached the planet last week to study its composition and search for liquid water beneath the surface using radar sounders. The question of life on Mars may be settled by the end of this decade.

You want colleagues who pat you on the back on those days when you've earned it, and who have your back on those days when you're up against it.
You want to work for a company where the median employee retention rate exceeds 10 years.
Sound like the kind of place you can grow your career? Then we're the construction management company waiting to receive your resume.


This is the second plugsuit I built. I was not planning on making a second one but my friend wanted to do a group and it was a good costume to have a weight loss goal to. Also having made the first one I knew a lot of things that I wanted to improve given the chance to make a second one. Made from four way stretch vinyl and piping. among other foams and glue. A lot of the details were hand basted before going through the machine. It was a fun challenge and it's always fun to wear when I have the chance.
