Horses and riders from around the region enjoyed a fun day out on Sunday, September 2nd, and at the same time raised over £2000 for the Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA).
Guinness Park Farm, Leigh Sinton's equestrian centre, was the venue for a fun ride to raise funds for the RDA. Landowners in the surrounding area kindly allowed their land to be crossed on a 12 mile ride, that went from Leigh Sinton to Alfrick and back.
The weather, which has ruined many equestrian events this summer, was, for once, perfect, and over 150 horse and rider teams turned up and paid a small fee to enjoy the ride.

I liked the transition. If there were a way to control the volume on it, would have been better, but I guess that is not something you guys can handle. Also, now that I bought the white, with the rebranding coming up, I should have bought the yellow and black!
The transition is really smooth but its slightly short so I have a black screen when switching scenes.
Exactly what I needed. Simple, effective and looks fantastic.


in Christian theology, the doctrine asserting that the chosen successors of the apostles enjoyed through God's grace the same authority, power, and responsibility as was conferred upon the apostles by Jesus.
..... Click the link for more information. . The ceremony by which the candidate receives the office of a minister is called ordination. Protestant ordination, unlike holy orders in the Roman Catholic Church, is not a sacrament. The Reformation doctrine of the "priesthood of all believers" underlies the inclination of many Protestant bodies to reduce the distinction between ministry and laity. In certain Protestant groups, e.g., the Plymouth Brethren, the ordination of ministers is dispensed with altogether. The Society of Friends (Quakers) ordains but makes little practical distinction between ministers and laity. Lutheranism and Presbyterianism invest the office with great dignity. Methodism (in the United States but not in Great Britain) has an episcopal form of church organization but one quite unlike the episcopacy of the Church of England. Fundamental to most Protestant groups is the belief that the soul can go to God without the need of priestly mediation. Hence the function of the ministry is interpreted strictly as one of assistance to the religious life through preaching, the administration of sacraments, and counseling.

a central body of the state administration. The first ministries were formed in Western Europe in the 16th-17th centuries.
Prerevolutionary Russia. Ministries were organized in prerevolutionary Russia upon the accession to the throne of Alexander I. N. N. Novosil'tsev, a member of the Unofficial Committee, prepared a plan for the establishment of ministries that permitted the temporary combination of administration by individuals with the collegial principle. The Manifesto of Sept. 8, 1802, established the ministries of justice, finance, commerce, public education, the army, the navy, the interior, and foreign affairs. The remaining collegiums were assigned to various ministers, under whom offices (departments) were initially established to deal with the collegiums. In some cases, only one collegium came into a ministry (for example, the Admiralty and the collegiums of war and commerce), but in other cases, several were brought under one ministry. The ministers belonged to the Senate and the Committee of Ministers and had the right to report to the tsar personally. As of June 1803, the leadership of various branches of administration was completely concentrated in the ministries (for example, the Ministry of the Interior).
In 1810 the duties of each ministry were more clearly defined. By virtue of their office, ministers became members of the State Council. The General Regulation for the Ministries worked out by M. M. Speranskii (June 25, 1811) completed the ministerial reform: administration by individuals was conclusively defined as the basic principle of the organization and work of the ministries, and uniformity of structure, paperwork, and bookkeeping was established, as was a system interrelating the structural units within the ministries and defining their relationship with other institutions. Each ministry was headed by a minister and an assistant minister, both of whom were appointed by the tsar. Under the minister there was a consultative body—the Minister's Council (later, the Council of the Ministry), which was made up of the heads of the ministry's structural units. For communication with all the structural units there was an office of the minister or ministry.
The executive apparatus of each ministry consisted of between one and nine departments. Also included in each ministry were the "special establishments" (special offices for important and secret affairs), academic committees, and auxiliary financial, technical, and other special institutions. Bureaucratic coordination of civil servants and extreme bureaucratic centralization were established within each ministry: absolute power and the final decision on the majority of affairs resided solely with the ministers. The civil ministries administered the local institutions subordinate to them by means of circulars and directions; the military ministries, by means of orders. In addition, the ministries made inspections of subordinate institutions, which were obliged to present accounts and various kinds of records annually.
The ministers submitted yearly financial accounts to the Ministry of Finance and the State Council and reports on "prospects and projects for improvement" to the tsar. With the tsar's permission a minister could appear before the State Council and present his ideas on legislative changes or on the abolition of old laws and the adoption of new ones. Drafts of laws worked out by the ministries and by special commissions or committees were confirmed by the tsar in the State Council or immediately after discussion in the Committee of Ministers and other high committees, as well as during the personal reports of ministers to the tsar, which were presented regularly from the 1820's.
After 1811 the General Regulations for the Ministries were extended to the majority of the ministries, of which there were nine by 1861. The increasing complexity of state administrative tasks gave rise to a clear delineation of functions not only in the capital but also in the provinces. The ministries and their local bodies constituted distinct departments with their own administrative procedures, staff, budget, and sometimes even departmental territorial divisions (departmental districts) that did not coincide with the general administrative divisions. Periodically, there were changes in ministerial organization: for example, the number of assistant ministers increased, and the internal organization of the ministries became more complex. In the 1860's through the 1870's the scope of issues resolved by ministerial bodies, as well as by the heads of their structural units, expanded considerably. Consequently, individual departments in a number of ministries became main administrations and administrations, and divisions whose organization differed from that of the departments emerged. The number of consultative councils and committees increased, and representatives of the bourgeoisie and the bourgeois intelligentsia were enlisted in them. Toward the end of the 19th century the organization of the Ministry of the Interior became particularly complex. The main punitive body of the autocracy, the Ministry of the Interior supervised the administration, the police, the gendarmerie and the political investigation department (from 1880), and the censorship.
Despite all the above changes, the main principles laid down by the General Regulations for the Ministries in 1811 were retained in the organization of the ministries until 1917. In that year there were 12 ministries in Russia. After the overthrow of the autocracy in 1917 all the ministries were reorganized to a greater or lesser degree. The Ministry of the Imperial Court was abolished, as were certain structural units of the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Justice. New structural units were created in some ministries. To a certain degree, the departments were democratized. Between Mar. 2 and Oct. 25, 1917, four staffs of ministers of the bourgeois Provisional Government were replaced. The Great October Socialist Revolution abolished all the ministries of the landlord bourgeois Russian state.
Among the ministries of prerevolutionary Russia (1802–1917, Old Style) were the Ministry of the Interior (1802–1917); the Ministry of War (1802–1917; until 1808, the Ministry of the Army); the Ministry of the Navy (1802–1917); the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (1802–1917); the Ministry of Finance (1802–1917); the Ministry of Public Education (1802–1917; from 1817 to 1824, the Ministry of Spiritual Affairs and Public Education); the Ministry of commerce (1802–10); and the Ministry of Communications (1865–1917; from 1809 to 1810, the Main Administration for Water and Land Communications; from 1810 to 1832, the Main Administration for Communications; and from 1832 to 1865, the Main Administration for Communications and Public Buildings). The government of prerevolutionary Russia also included the Ministries of the Imperial Court and Appan-ages (1826–1917; from 1852 to 1856, divided into the Ministry of the Imperial Court and the Ministry of Appanages; from Mar. 16 through Oct. 25, 1917, the Main Administration for Appan-ages), Agriculture (1915–17; from 1837 to 1894, the Ministry of State Domains; from 1894 to 1905, the Ministry of Agriculture and State Property; from 1905 to 1915, the Main Administration for Land Tenure and Agriculture), and Police (1810–19). Other prerevolutionary ministries were Postal Service and Telegraph (1865–68; 1880–81; May 5-Oct. 25, 1917), Justice (1802–1917), Trade and Industry (1905–17), Labor (May 5-Oct. 25, 1917), Provisions (May 5-Oct. 25, 1917), Religion (Aug. 5-Oct. 25, 1917), and State Charity (May 5-Oct. 25, 1917).

The USSR. In the USSR the ministry is the central organ of state administration that directs a particular branch of the economy, social and cultural construction, or administrative and political activity. It is the most important component of the Soviet state apparatus. The chief task of every economic ministry is to ensure the development in every possible way of the branch assigned to it as a constituent part of the national economy of the USSR, to ensure high rates of development of production and labor productivity, the fulfillment of the goals of the state plan and the strict observance of state discipline, and the rational utilization and improved effectiveness of capital investments. A ministry directs the branch of activity assigned to it in a planned, scientific manner, taking into account the demands of the comprehensive development of the economy of the entire country, of the Union republics, and of various economic regions. The legal status of the ministry is defined by the Constitution of the USSR and the constitutions of the Union and autonomous republics, the General Statute of 1967 on the Ministries of the USSR (Sobranie polozhenii SSSR, 1967, no. 17, art. 116), and statutes on particular ministries.
The Soviet ministries are the successors of the people's commissariats, which were established immediately after the victory of the October Revolution of 1917. Under the Mar. 15, 1946, law On the Transformation of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR Into the Council of Ministers of the USSR and of the Councils of People's Commissars of the Union and Autonomous Republics Into the Councils of Ministers of the Union and Autonomous Republics, the people's commissariats were reorganized as ministries.
Under the Constitution of the USSR the ministries are formed by the Supreme Soviet of the USSR and the Supreme Soviets of the Union and autonomous republics, and their activity is coordinated and directed by the Council of Ministers of the USSR and the councils of ministers of the Union and autonomous republics. The ministries of the USSR are subdivided into all-Union ministries, which manage the branch of government work assigned to them throughout the USSR, either directly or through bodies created by them, and Union-republic ministries, which direct the branches assigned to them through the ministries of the same names in the Union republics.
As of Jan. 1, 1974, there were 29 all-Union and 31 Union-republic ministries, the majority of which were economic ministries directing various branches of the national economy.
Among the branches of governmental concern assigned to all-Union ministries are the aviation industry, the motor vehicle industry, foreign trade, the gas industry, civil aviation, machine building, and machine building for animal husbandry and fodder production, for light industry and the food industry, and for the household appliances industry. Also under the supervision of all-Union ministries are the medical industry, the navy, the petroleum industry, the defense industry, general machine building, instrument making, means of automation, and control systems. The communications equipment industry, the radio industry, medium machine building, the machine tool and instrument industry, and machine building for construction, road building, and civil engineering are under the direction of all-Union ministries. In addition, all-Union ministries supervise the construction of petroleum and gas industry enterprises; the ship-building industry; the tractor and farm machine building industry; transport construction; heavy, power, and transport machine building; and machine building for the chemical and petroleum industries. The chemical industry, the paper and pulp industry, the electronics industry, and the electrical equipment industry are assigned to all-Union ministries.
The Union-republic ministries direct internal affairs, higher and secondary specialized education, geology, state purchases, public health, foreign affairs, and culture. Light industry, the timber and wood products industry, land reclamation and water use management, installation and specialized construction works, the meat and dairy industry, petroleum refining and the petrochemical industry, defense, food processing, industrial construction, and the building materials industry are also managed at the Union-republic level. In addition, Union-republic ministries are responsible for education, the fishing industry, communications, rural construction, agriculture, construction, construction of heavy industrial enterprises, trade, the coal industry, finance, nonferrous metallurgy, ferrous metallurgy, energy resources and electrification, and justice.
Within the limits of the rights granted them, the ministries of the USSR resolve all questions related to their respective concerns. However, for the resolution of certain questions falling within its competence, a ministry may call on the ministry of the same name in a given Union republic, or on enterprises, organizations, and institutions at the Union-republic level.
There are two types of ministries in the Union republics: Union-republic ministries, which are under the jurisdiction of the Union-republic Council of Ministers and of the corresponding Union-republic ministry of the USSR; and republic ministries, which are subordinate only to the Council of Ministers of the particular Union republic. The republic ministries of the RSFSR supervise motor-vehicle transportation, consumer services, housing and civil construction, housing and communal services, local industry, the river fleet, social insurance, the construction and maintenance of motor vehicle roads, and the fuel industry.
Each ministry is headed by a minister appointed by the Supreme Soviet upon the presentation of the chairman of the Council of Ministers. Between sessions of the Supreme Soviet, ministers are appointed or dismissed by the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, whose decisions are subsequently confirmed by the Supreme Soviet. Deputy ministers are appointed by the Council of Ministers.
Each minister of the USSR is personally responsible for fulfilling the tasks assigned to his ministry. Within the limits of the ministry's competence, he issues orders and instructions, using existing laws, resolutions, and orders of the Council of Ministers of the USSR as his guide. A minister's orders, instructions, and directives are binding on the corresponding ministries in the Union republics and on the enterprises, organizations, and institutions under the ministry. To examine and resolve the basic questions of a ministry's activity, a collegium chaired by the minister and made up of the deputy minister (a member ex officio) and members confirmed by the Council of Ministers is formed. The scientific and technical (scientific) council, which consists of prominent scientists and highly skilled specialists, industrial innovators, and representatives of scientific and technical societies and other organizations, plays an important role in many ministries.
An arbitrazh (state arbitration tribunal) established by the ministry considers economic disputes between the enterprises, organizations, and institutions subject to the ministry's jurisdiction. Decrees by the arbitrazh are approved by the minister.
In its activity each ministry is guided by the CPSU policies of developing democratic principles in administration, creating the conditions for the working people and their social organizations to show initiative and participate actively in the perfection of the state administration, accelerating economic and social development, and making the fullest use of existing reserves. This work demands the constant strengthening of state discipline and of socialist legality. To a considerable degree, the success of a ministry's work depends on the proper combination of collective leadership in the discussion and resolution of questions with personal responsibility, or the establishment of the precise responsibility of officials for the performance of specific tasks and for the general state of affairs in the sector of work assigned to them.
Of utmost importance in enhancing the role of the ministries in the system of Soviet state governmental bodies were the resolutions of the September 1965 Plenum of the Central Committee of the CPSU on further improvement in the administration of industry and construction. Acknowledging the need to reestablish on a qualitatively new basis the branch principle of managing the national economy through the ministries, the Plenum repudiated the territorial principle of management through the councils of the economy, which had been in effect since 1957.
The organizational work of the ministries is aimed at perfecting the structure of administration and the style and methods of management, as well as at introducing scientific administrative organization, which entails the application of electronic computer technology and other modern technical means. Branch automated management systems have been established in many ministries. In the future these will be unified in a statewide automated management system.
Foreign socialist countries. As a rule, ministries in the foreign socialist countries are formed by the highest state bodies and are headed by a single director, the minister, who is a member of the government appointed by the highest governmental body and responsible to it for the ministry's activity. In republics that have a single chief executive—a president or chairman—changes in the makeup of the government are made by the president and subsequently confirmed by the highest state body. In most cases a board composed of the minister, the deputy minister, and various leading officials is formed under the leadership of the minister. The office of state secretary—in a sense, a co-leader of the federal ministry who, like the minister, is a member of the government—was instituted in Czechoslovakia in 1968. In order to ensure the proportional representation of the Czech Socialist Republic and the Slovak Socialist Republic in the federal government, the minister and the state secretary may not be citizens of the same republic of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic. In Cuba the ministries are formed and ministers are appointed and dismissed by presidential decree. In some foreign socialist countries the ministers take an oath of loyalty to the people and the state. The system of ministries was abolished in Yugoslavia in 1953, and republic and federal secretariats were established, the functions of which are similar to those of the ministries of other socialist states.
Bourgeois states. In the bourgeois states the ministries have executive duties and manage various branches of the administration. The chief of the ministry is usually a member of the government. In the USA the ministries, or departments, are formed on the basis of enactments of the highest legislative bodies, and in France and a number of other countries, on the basis of decrees by the head of state. In other countries, such as Great Britain, the ministries are formed on the basis of government laws or acts. The number of ministries and the distribution of functions among them are determined, in effect, by the head of the government or the chief executive (the prime minister or the president).
In Western Europe ministries emerged as administrative bodies in the 16th and 17th centuries. The minister, who was entrusted with the leadership of a branch of the administration, directed the activity of the ministry according to the instructions of the monarch, to whom he was directly responsible. With the establishment of constitutional monarchies and the development of parliamentarianism in a number of countries, the institution of ministerial responsibility to parliament emerged. During the period of premonopoly capitalism the activity of the ministries was usually limited to foreign policy and to the direction of the army, the police, communications, and tax collection. During the period of monopoly capitalism, as the bourgeois machinery of state expanded and the executive power grew stronger, the number of ministries steadily increased, their structure became more complicated, and their functions became broader.
After World War II new ministries were formed to deal with economic regulation, public health and social insurance, and problems of ideology and propaganda. A paramount role was played by the ministries directing the armed forces, as well as by ministries with protective functions (the ministries of defense, internal affairs, and justice). In the bourgeois states there is a growing number of ministries with ideological and social functions, including ministries of information, culture, and education. In addition to a ministry of foreign affairs, a number of states have developed a whole system of foreign policy ministries that focus chiefly on problems of foreign economic ties.
The system of ministries in most countries was restructured during the 1960's and early 1970's on the basis of functional specialization. Ministries may be classified in terms of their territorial jurisdiction (for example, the federal ministries and the ministries of the individual states in the USA), functions (general or branch competence, for example), and principles of structure (internal structure). The staffs of most ministries are divided into two groups: irremoveable, or professional, civil servants, and political administrators, who are replaced after changes of government. As a rule, the political appointees are the heads of the ministries, such as the US secretary of state. Ministers are appointed and replaced by the chief executive or the head of state (in the USA and France, the president; in Great Britain, the prime minister). In a number of states (Great Britain, for example), the minister must be a member of parliament. In France, however, a deputy may not hold ministerial office. A minister may not be a member of a legislative body in presidential republics such as the USA. The role of the higher strata of the permanent professional civil service in making important political decisions, in the legislative process, and in the exercise of judicial functions (administrative justice) is increasing.
Even within one country the internal structure of ministries may be extremely diverse. Structure depends on the size of the ministry and the scope and nature of its activity. Ministries usually have a central bureaucracy. Sometimes they also have a regional and local bureaucracy located in various parts of the country. Under the ministry there are various auxiliary bodies, such as advisory and consultative committees, interdepartmental coordinating administrations, and autonomous specialized organizations.
In the era of state-monopoly capitalism, the ministries are important organizational and legal channels in the central bureaucracy. By creating mixed bodies and directly enlisting businessmen in their work, the ministries ensure the combination of the power of the monopolies and that of the state into a single mechanism. However, in the developed capitalist countries, where the personal power of the head of state or government is growing stronger, the most important administrative questions are removed from the jurisdiction of the ministries and resolved by the chief executive and his advisers.

This season we will be holding a knockout cup for the three player teams, using a different format to normal league matches. The format will be three players per team, with each player playing two singles and two doubles games per match.
Scorecards for these matches are available in the Information>Downloads section of the website.
Colin: (whispers) Listen up young Mark, I have a very, very, very cunning plan.
Mark: (excited) Is it as cunning as a fox what used to be Professor of Cunning at Cambridge University but has moved on and is now working for the U.N. at the High Commission of International Cunning Planning?
Colin: (sneakily) Here's my cunning plan, in the final we are due to play soon, we have won home advantage against that pesky Bob Harman and his motley crew of Sugar boys, but I want to be able to decide the order of play, so we'll give the most agreeable of them, Mark James, a call and suggest we play at their place - as they would then have to put their order down first and being we only have two singles matches to play each, as well three doubles, we can then gain ourselves a useful advantage by me ducking Will (Hall) in the singles, and you ducking Bob and so on and so forth. What do you think?
Colin: (angrily) That's because you never move more than a centipede would in a month of Sundays you nitwit - you would make an elderly sloth appear fast and God knows I have tried to get you to move your feet, even the electric shock treatment I invested in the soles of your trainers at great personal expense had no effect whatsoever on you. I sometimes wonder if you are human at all!
Anyway, as for the match itself, well it was played in very good spirits and the standard generally was very high, as you would hopefully expect from the top two teams in the League. It seemed that a major part of the CB plan, either by accident or design, saw himself playing his two singles quite early on in proceedings (games 1 and 4), in a bid to avoid clashing with his nemesis Will Hall.
The only problem with this you have to turn up and play well to expect a cunning masterplan to bear fruit and in this case, unfortunately for the Spitfires it totally backfired, with Colin finding both Bob and Dom 'Wrecking Ball' Melero far too hot to handle on the night. Will, who had been looking like winning his first singles (match 2) at 2-0 in sets, was outlasted by a gritty and in-form Andy Cullen, who got one on the board for his team in a five set thriller. The first of doubles (match 3) was a also bit of an epic duel, lasting at least half an hour and just going the way of the home team in five very tough sets.
So it was down to Will to lift himself up from the disappointment of losing his first match and hoping to find his best form against Mark (match 5) who was playing really well. However the latter's slow play while preparing to serve almost sent young Will to sleep. The time it took for Mark to crank himself up to serve each time was quite frustrating to watch never mind play against, a can of spinach Popeye-style definitely required to enhance any chance of another away point.
Unlike the tale of the hare and the tortoise, this one ended up as a win for the hare, as Will kept his concentration just about intact and won the match in five long zzzzzzzzets, securing a 4-1 lead to the Bury champions – swiftly followed by the second doubles (match 6) which resulted in a home win again in four tough sets, sealing an unassailable 5-1 lead for the Sugar boys. The rest of the matches were competed and completed mostly for completion's sake and the Sugar boys saw off the Spitfires by a final match score of 7-2.
Everyone I spoke to involved in the newly devised knockout cup thoroughly enjoyed the new format, could it even replace the current League format in years to come? A lot of players particularly enjoy a game of doubles and to play three on a night would be a bonus for them possibly, and of course shorten what can be a long evening at times by one match. Definitely food for thought and possibly something to discuss at the next AGM?
For this multi-doubles format and 6 singles to work successfully in the League itself (9 matches in total rather than the current 10), one would need to stick with the current points system (one point for each match won) to decide the championship – because this evening was a good example of one team (the losing) wanting to play on after the match was decided after only the sixth match of the evening and one team (the winning) not bothered at all about seeing the remaining matches through to the bitter end. 2 points for a win simply wouldn't work if the current League match format is indeed ever changed to the knock-out version.


The Selling Agency What's the ROI of Your Excuses?
Our job is to challenge your status quo – to challenge your mindset, to change behaviors, and to inspire actions.
This, as you can imagine, is received differently by people. Much of our willingness to change or attempt the unknown is about how we've reckoned with failures or successes in our past. Were we embarrassed or ashamed of a failed attempt at something? Or, did unknown bets payoff for us?
Most people are on a scale of sorts when it comes to learning and trying new things. There's "Come at me bro!" or "Hell no!" and many people fall into the middle where they feel things out or see someone else go first (NOT the early adopters – but they can be convinced).
Convincing people of investing in skills or that new actions have payoffs is not the hard part when it comes to moving people on the scale.
Compelling people to let go of their excuses in order to change their behaviors and try things is the hard part. Excuses start off as good intentions – to keep us safe.
No one does it this way.
Can you calculate the ROI (Return on Investment) of your Excuses?
What are they doing for you? Are they keeping you safe? Keeping you from being exposed?
Did you invest a lot of time, money, or energy in your previous way of doing things?
Are you clinging to sunk costs?
Does a new way of thinking mean you were wrong previously?
When you figure out that they're not keeping you safe, so much as anchoring you to what you know, you can begin the work of overcoming your excuses.
When you're challenged, think ROA: Return on Actions!
We can't make this phone call because we don't have all the information.
We don't follow up because we don't want to seem too eager.
One video/email/call didn't get a response so why waste time doing it again.
The flip side of this is that when you overcome one excuse, it makes it easier to overcome another and keep pushing forward.
Perhaps pick a small excuse – like, not returning a voicemail or making one more call before you call it a day.
Start with an action and build from there.
What's the ROI of holding on tightly to these thoughts? Where did these thoughts originate from? Can you pinpoint their origin or a specific incident where you started giving yourself permission to not try?
Because I wasn't getting any responses.
Why am I not getting responses?
Because prospects don't want to talk to me.
Why don't they want to talk to you?
Because they don't need my product?
Why don't they need your product?
Because they're fine with their current provider?
Why are would they choose their current provider over you?
ANSWER – here's the question you must answer, "What do I have to offer that's different, better, or an improvement from their current providers.
This will make your phone calls more effective.
Seemingly small actions, like writing down when you made extra calls, recording how many times you worked out in a week, or tracking how much time you spent NOT on Facebook or Instagram this week – leave an imprint, a trail, that helps you go back in for a hit of dopamine when you reconcile those wins.
Keep a notepad, calendar, or something visible in front of you where you can track your accomplishments.
Executing action is the key to overcoming the excuses we make for ourselves.
Holding on to can't, won't, never, always, failure . . . you're sure to stay in the same spot.

BEAM Board Will Be Named Today
The partnership between Louisville and Lexington known as BEAM—the Bluegrass Economic Advancement Movement—will begin to take shape soon. This afternoon, Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer and Lexington Mayor Jim Gray will announce the BEAM board and lead the first board meeting.BEAM has a goal—to attract businesses and jobs to Kentucky, mostly in the manufacturing sector.BEAM also has money and support. Bloomberg Philanthropies and the Brookings Institution are both helping, and the Louisville Metro Council has passed a resolution endorsing the idea.BEAM doesn't yet have a definitive plan. That will be for the board to determine.The Louisville Metro Council has approved a resolution supporting BEAM. President Jim King says he doesn't think it's premature to endorse a plan before the details are worked out."I'd like to see this become the template for future partnerships between Louisville and Lexington so that we can have a true regional economy. When businesses are looking to locate in Kentucky, they don't care about what county you're in or what city you're in," he says. "If we don't have it, Lexington does and vice versa. I think it would be smart for us to try to collaborate with them in those situations," he says.Every member of the council was a co-sponsor of the legislation. A similar measure has been introduced in the Lexington council.

Germie Bernard is a Husky!
Nevada's Gatorade State Player Of The Year has signed his NLI
By John Sayler Dec 15, 2021, 7:38am PST
Share All sharing options for: Germie Bernard is a Husky!
The jewel of the 2022 Husky Football recruiting class —at least according to 247 Sports' rankings— has officially signed his letter of intent. Nevada's Gatorade Player of the Year, WR Germie Bernard, is a Husky.
OFFICIALLY A DAWG!
Welcome to the Pack, @germie_bernard! pic.twitter.com/jb0WOfSnK7
— Washington Football (@UW_Football) December 15, 2021
Germie Bernard (WR, 6'2" 195, Liberty HS, NV)
As a senior this season, Bernard recorded 53 catches for 956 yards and 12 TDs. He looks very good running the football as well, rushing for 452 yards and four more scores. He also returned four kicks for touchdowns this season, while helping his team to a 10-2 record and the state semi-finals.
He is not the fastest, nor the strongest, nor the shiftiest. He just eludes tacklers. His lower body is really strong, similar to Golden Tate or other WRs who run through arm tackles. It's hard to tell how truly fast he is, but he glides down the field with subtle moves. Nevada 5A is legit HS football, so he really does look strong enough to play on day 1.
On July 30th, 2020, Bernard announced his commitment to the University of Washington, and hasn't looked back since. He reportedly did not take any calls from any other schools. His only other official offers were Michigan, Miami, Hawaii & Arizona State.
Bernard is one of the top receivers out west, and was wide receiver coach Junior Adams' top target. In addition to all of his work on the field and in the classroom, Bernard also volunteered with a community youth literacy program and as a youth football coach. He has also donated his time at homeless shelters and food banks.
Washington appears to have a strong core of young talent in their WR room with McMillan, Odunze, Davis, and Polk plus will have senior Terrell Bynum anchoring the position next year. It might be difficult for Bernard to break into that group of 5 from the get go but it wouldn't be a surprise to see Germie on kick return duty or to fill out as the 6th receiver on the 2-deeps.
For more analysis on Bernard check out our own Coach B's recruiting profile of Bernard from back when he initially committed to UW.

University could close in anticipation of Hurricane Matthew (Updates)
Heavy winds and rain are expected in the area by Wednesday.

Joe Pye and Ryan Lynch
Update: Oct. 5, 1:19 a.m.
Palm Beach and Broward county changed their statuses from hurricane watches to warnings after 11 p.m. because of a National Weather Service advisory.
With Hurricane Matthew shifting west toward Florida, and Governor Rick Scott announcing a State of Emergency throughout the state, Florida Atlantic University will decide the status of its campuses early tomorrow.
FAU has not yet announced whether it will stay open or close all campus operations because of the Category 4 storm, alerting students and faculty through an email Tuesday afternoon that it would make a final decision by 9 a.m. Wednesday.
As of 8 p.m. Tuesday, Hurricane Matthew had reached Haiti with 140-mph winds, according to The Weather Channel. Storm predictions from the National Hurricane Center have it making landfall in the Bahamas on Wednesday and possibly hitting the Palm Beach/Broward area on Thursday.
According to The Weather Channel, a Category 4 hurricane means that catastrophic damage will occur, including the uprooting of trees, loss of roof and wall structure on some houses and downed power lines.
Both Palm Beach and Broward are currently in a hurricane watch. As of 8 p.m. Tuesday, the National Hurricane Center said South Florida had 48 hours to prepare for Matthew's potential impact.

Those who have made the trip out to fill up on gas have run into long lines and crowds. On top of that, stores like the Walmart Supercenter in Delray Beach are having to close early in order to restock shelves.
If campus was to close down completely, students would be asked to evacuate and only essential personnel including grounds workers and police officers would be allowed to travel freely in the area.
In case of evacuation, the school advises students to stay off campus with a friend or relative. Students who do not have a place to stay will be shuttled to a Red Cross storm shelter in the area, with shuttle schedules being announced through alerts and social media.
All public schools in Palm Beach and Broward County will be closed on Thursday and Friday, according to school district websites.
A majority will be designated as public shelters. Boca Raton High School, which is located at 1501 NW 15 Ct, is a designated shelter for the general public.
Students who are interested in the current status of FAU can call the university's automated Hurricane Hotline at 888-832-8695 or visit its advisory webpage here.
The university advises student residents to stock up on battery-powered flashlights, batteries, water, food and to have cash available in case the storm makes landfall.

Deephaven Elementary: A great place to learn.
Staff, students and parents work together at Deephaven Elementary School to create partnerships for learning. Building strong home-school partnerships is an important key of success for students. Teachers embrace the concept of continuous improvement and work toward incorporating best practices in our instruction.
Differentiating instructional strategies in math, reading and writing.
K-5 coordination of science instruction.
Creating supporting relationships through the use of C.A.R.E.S., with a special emphasis on kindness.
Improving information literacy and technology proficiencies.
Our goals have been created to ensure that we are meeting the academic and social needs of our students.
Parents are valued partners at Deephaven Elementary School, playing important roles at home and at school. We are fortunate to have a community that shares their time and talents with our students. We encourage all parents to become involved in our school in a way that fits their time and taps into their talents.
Students in 2nd through 5th grade write stories outside of the school day and receive their published book at a monthly Authors' Celebration recognition event.
ACE is a program offered to students in 5th grade. Participating students meet with adult mentors after school and engage in weekly meetings over a five-month period. They follow a step-by-step process for writing a full-length novel. Students receive a published copy of their book and a second copy is placed in our media center for students in our school to check out and read.
Student Leadership is open to all 4th and 5th graders. We believe developing leadership skills in students is essential and have created an after-school program that teaches specific leadership skills to students and allows them to practice them through service learning projects.
A nationally recognized technology leader, Deephaven was the first school in our district to pilot Smart Boards in 2002 and we piloted the use of over 50 iPads for instructional purposes in 2011. We developed primary and intermediate lessons that supports our adopted curriculum. In addition, our use of laptops in the classroom, Smart Board technology, and classroom sound systems play a key role in accelerating student learning.
In Reading and Math, we identify every student's reading level and use leveled readers to instruct students using Guided Reading. Students are engaged in 70 minutes of math instruction every day and use Rocket Math to ensure proficiency in math facts. Events such as Month of Math and Math Madness promote excitement and learning around mathematics.
In Science, we recently created a partnership with Crane Engineering to support STEM in our school.
Tonka is our K-5 computer programming curriculum that introduces all students to the language of technology, logic and problem-solving.
We conduct an annual 5th grade spelling bee and a geography bee to encourage further learning in each area.
We created the Principal's Summer Challenge to encourage parents to support their children over the summer by tracking their work in the areas of reading, math and writing.


The green machine OG has become the first team to win three Valve Majors by winning Dota 2's $3m Boston Major tournament and reclaiming the Eaglesong last night.
The grand final also saw the countdown to Dota 2's 7.00 patch revealed, we'll have all the major changes here.
Formed last year – before lifting the Eaglesong a first time at the Frankfurt Major – by Johann 'N0tail' Sundstein and Tal 'Fly' Aizik, the team has won three of the four Major tournaments held between Valve's massive multi-million dollar The International competitions.
Since formation, the team has gone through few changes with new mid-laner Anathan 'Ana' Pham, off-laner Gustav 's4' Magnusson and support Jesse 'Jerax' Vainikka joining in August after a disappointing TI6 performance for the team.
However Fly and N0tail have remained as pillars of the team and been a critical part of each of their three victories at Frankfurt, Manila and now Boston, taking home $1m from each event.
Their opponents in the final, Greek side Ad Finem, put up an incredibly spirited defence, with one of the best games of Dota 2 ever played in the third game to claw their way back to a 2-1 deficit in the face of elimination. However they failed to continue their comeback and took runners-up after a 3-1 finish in the fourth game.
You can see highlights of that third game below, where Ad Finem more than earn their $500,000 reward with an 80-minute slog into a sneaky back-door play byVerros "Maybe Next Time" Apostolos' Earthshaker to close out the game.


The Chester IOD Fleet and the Chester Yacht Club will host the 2014 International One Design North American Championship August 29-31 in Chester, Nova Scotia.

With the completion of a Pender Islands community fundraising campaign, a prime section of South Pender waterfront between Brooks and Gowlland Points has been protected as parkland.
For the first time, the publishers of the Waggoner Cruising Guide are offering guided flotilla cruises up the Inside Passage to Ketchikan, Alaska – the ideal introduction to this major West Coast adventure for boaters who'd prefer to tackle it in company.
With each new edition, the publishers of this annual guide to cruising the West Coast from South Puget Sound to Southeast Alaska update, expand and improve its content and coverage. The 2014 edition includes the usual updates on hundreds of marinas, destinations and facilities along the coast, plus expanded sections on Haida Gwaii and Ketchikan, a major update on Vancouver Island's West Coast, and new destinations along BC's North Coast.
When the Seattle Seahawks advanced to the Super Bowl, Seattle boat show organizers, the Northwest Marine Trade Association and the Northwest Yacht Brokers Association, opted to close the show a day early for the historic game.

The Best LGBTQIA+ Nightlife Spots in Atlanta
These are the best bars, clubs, and recurring events for celebrating queer life in Atlanta.
By Satchel B. Jester, and Joshua Robinson
My Sister's Room-MSR
Atlanta is one of America's most underrated LGBTQIA+ capitals, and that's largely due to its diverse groups of passionate activists, talented queer artists, and, of course, legendary bars and clubs. Consider that, depending how you count, there are only around 14 states in America that still have a fully operational lesbian bar, and Georgia just so happens to be one of them. And while most cities only celebrate Pride in June, Atlanta has celebrations like Black Gay Pride and Atlanta Pride around Labor Day and National Coming Out Day, respectively. Anytime is the perfect time to show your pride in Atlanta—and there are no better bars for doing so than these 10.
10th & Piedmont
At the intersection of 10th Street and Piedmont Avenue, Atlanta's Rainbow Crosswalks isn't the only attraction. 10th and Piedmont is a spirited community-servicing restaurant that flaunts a vast menu including everything from classic Southern staples to seafood and vegan items. But when the clock strikes 6 pm, the eatery and its adjoining brother location, G's Midtown, becomes the perfect setting for a weekly social set full with countless cocktails, karaoke, and of course, gorgeous people.
Bulldogs Bar Atlanta
Entering this famed Peachtree hotspot immediately places you amid inexpensive, yet highly potent, cocktails, the latest chart-topping urban hits, pool tables, and a patio for reprieve if your engagement gets a little too hot. And, because bragging rights mean everything in the Hollywood of the South, Bulldogs prides itself as not only being the "Original Atlanta Black Gay Pride Party Spot" (it opened in the late '70s), but also one of the best gay bars in the nation.
Heretic Atlanta
Cheshire Bridge Road Corridor
This scene staple is a playground for entry-level fetishes like leather and jocks and the occasional DILF sighting, but the party emporium also features acclaimed international disc jockeys and is the new home of the acclaimed "Stars of the Century" weekly drag show. It's also a classic local spot for bears, where hairy chests, broad shoulders and backs, and rhythmic body contact reign supreme.
My Sister's Room
This lesbian-owned and -operated spot has reigned supreme for decades. Stiff cocktails, bottle service, a full kitchen, burlesque performances, and community-based philanthropic offerings are all on deck. And don't be shy if you're not a lady who loves ladies because MSR prides itself on being a haven for anyone who desires high-level happiness and good vibes.

What inspires you to travel? Whether you're looking for a culinary adventure, an exploration of the most extraordinary places to stay, or connecting with communities near or far, do it all with the Delta SkyMiles® American Express Card.
Marquette Lounge
West Atlanta
Here's the thing—what happens at the Marquette generally stays there, which is why the Westside Atlanta lounge has limited social media and web presence. But we can tell you this late-night locale features engagements like "Turn Up Tuesdays," "Wasted Wednesdays," and "Hush Night," a celebration of trans performers. Doors open nightly at 11 pm, so it's a guarantee that you'll be racing the sun home.
Las Margaritas
Plan a trip to Las Margaritas and be prepared for a potent combination of Latin influence and LGBTQ effervescence. After downing a Latin Monster Fishbowl or a few Mexican Aguas with Rum, you'll understand why the spot is most popular for their booze-fueled Cinco de Mayo block parties. Unfortunately, Las Margaritas is not currently open, but that's only temporary. The fabled hangout spot will be back between mid-to-late 2022, so get ready to return to Las Margaritas in the near future.
Mary's
East Atlanta
Sometimes the perfect watering hole isn't about bells and whistles, but about perfect pours, people, and a hell of a party—enter East Atlanta's grand dame, Mary's. Heavy-handed bartenders, show-stealing hosts, and unapologetically happy patrons all rule this world, providing unpredictable, yet perfectly played parties in the heart of East Atlanta. Come for the karaoke and leave with... well, that's up to you.
Woofs Atlanta
Woofs
Though the idea of playing sports satisfies a certain level of bravado, the perfect alternative to dodging bodily harm and working up a non-flattering sweat is watching the gamut of games and matches with perfectly chilled cocktails and bar fare at Woofs, Atlanta's only gay sports bar. Show your team spirit, in comfort, as dozens of televisions showcase gladiator-style battles and animalistic instinct from wall-to-wall.

TCT celebrates- The Daydreamer Award. Take a look at our nominations and thanks so much, our dearest Mommy Blogger- Real Mom of Long Island for nominating us!
So true! I do have dreamlike musings while I am awake, but that doesn't mean that I ignore my day-to-day life and household chores.
Ace is back from work so mum and baby enjoy the evening with daddy and we talk, play and sing!
Put Brat H to sleep while Ace and I work a little bit more and then talk a bit before we kiss goodnight!
My dream job, however, is.. To be a great mother and be able to feed my baby on time, make sure he eats well and sleeps for long hours and wakes up just when I am nearly done with all my chores (including writing). I daydream about a beautiful getaway, a weekend packed with my favorite spa treatment while Ace takes care of Brat H while I am gone (means feeds him, puts him to sleep etc.) Oh! I also daydream about sleep. A good 8 hours sleep without any interruptions!
Please include the rules in your post.
You can use the image I have used for the award!
Can't wait to check out the other blogs!!
That does sound like a dream jib indeed. How beautifully said. Congratulations on your award. It is well deserved.

As if the original scene in which Takashi uses his girlfriend's breasts as shock absorbers for his rifle didn't have enough fanservice, the anime adaptation of Highschool of the Dead adds the slow motion effect known as "Bullet Time" (popularized in the Matrix).
While simultaneously fighting zombies, Saeko uses the Neo limbo to dodge bullets that fly between her legs and breasts. Fortunately for Saeko, her bouncing breasts are faster than a speeding a bullet!


The bipartisan, bicameral debt panel created by the recent budget agreement will hold its first meeting this Thursday, followed by its first public hearing on Sept. 13, National Journal reports (House/Friedman, National Journal , 9/3).
As part of the recent debt deal, the panel must develop and pass by the end of November at least $1.5 trillion in federal spending cuts over 10 years.
Failure to do so would trigger a series of across-the-board cuts. Medicaid would be exempt from those cuts, and Medicare is protected from deep spending cuts. However, the deficit panel is not bound by those stipulations (California Healthline, 8/25).
Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) and Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), co-chairs of the panel, said the first meeting will include opening statements by committee members and consideration of proposed panel rules ( National Journal , 9/3).
During the hearing the following week, Congressional Budget Office Director Douglas Elmendorf is scheduled to testify on the history and causes of the national debt (Steinhauer, "The Caucus," New York Times , 9/2).
Jan. 15, 2012: The date on which the $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts take effect, if the panel's suggestions have not been enacted ( National Journal , 9/3).

When thinking of the perfect 40th Birthday present for my husband, I wanted to give him something that was "forever" … something that would be personal, sentimental, and forever meaningful. After seeing personalised coffee table photobooks overseas, I decided that would be the ideal gift, encasing photographic memories of his past 40 years, with my personalised text. I did not know where and how to begin, until a close friend highly recommended Photodeli.
Being a busy career woman and mom, I never find the time to even put a traditional album together, so this was the perfect match me! I arrived at Photodeli with a big box of old and new photographs. I was welcomed into a very relaxed environment, which made me feel very comfortable – bringing in all my personal pictures. I was introduced to a very creative graphic designer, who conceptualised a variety of layout ideas whilst gaining a feel for what I was after. I returned after a couple days to an amazing drafted mock up, which I was over the moon with.

What storage size iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 mini should you get?
The iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 come in 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB storage sizes. But which one is the best to get? Decisions, decisions...

This year, Apple is releasing four different iPhone 12 models: iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max. The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro will be available on October 23, while the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max will be available on November 13, with pre-orders starting November 6. If you're thinking about picking up the regular iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 mini, then you may be struggling with how much storage capacity you need. Fortunately, we're here to help break it down for you.
iPhone 12 storage size: Price per gigabyte
From a money perspective, you may want to consider which size option gets you the biggest bang for your buck. To go about that, you need to see how much it costs per gigabyte, basically. Both the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 start at 64GB and go up to 256GB.
For the iPhone 12 mini
64GB - $699 or $10.92 per gigabyte
128GB - $749 or $5.85 per gigabyte
For the iPhone 12
When you break it down to price per gigabyte, the 256GB option for both the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 offer the most bang for your buck. However, 256GB can be considered too much for some, so the 128GB is a nice middle ground. But if you just want to get the most affordable iPhone 12 mini or iPhone 12, then the 64GB is the lowest price, but not the best value.
iPhone 12 storage size: Local storage or cloud storage?
Source: Joseph Keller/iMore
Since both the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 still start at 64GB (the Pro models start at 128GB), it's important to ask yourself if you are going to be relying on local storage for files and media, or can you use cloud storage syncing services?
Apple offers 5GB of iCloud storage for free for every iPhone user, but let's face it — that is a paltry amount and really won't hold much before you fill it up. This is especially true if you want to use iCloud backups for your devices. But you can bump up that iCloud storage space with plans that start at $0.99 for 50GB, $2.99 for 200GB, and $9.99 for 2TB. iCloud storage will also be a part of the upcoming Apple One bundles, so if you use a few of Apple's services already (Apple Music, Apple Arcade, Apple TV+, Apple News+, and the new Fitness+), then these are a great value.
As long as your iCloud storage subscription is active, you'll be able to use things like iCloud Photo Library and iCloud Music Library. With these, you can have your photos and video stored in the cloud, accessible from anywhere, and you can stream your music instead of requiring them to be local on your iPhone. You can even use iCloud Drive to store files and documents and access them anywhere.
There are also third-party cloud storage options like Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, and more, if you want something other than iCloud.
If you already use a lot of cloud storage and streaming services, then 64GB should be enough.
If you often travel or just don't always have a reliable data connection, then 128GB provides plenty of space for local storage.
If you prefer to have everything available offline or just on your iPhone, then go with 256GB.
iPhone 12 storage size: Make use of the great cameras
Even though the iPhone 12 Pro series will have bigger sensors and telephoto lens, the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 still have a fantastic camera system. After all, you are still going to have the dual 12MP Wide and Ultra Wide cameras, optical image stabilization, 2x optical zoom out and 5x digital zoom. And yes, the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 can still record 4K video up to 60fps, and do HDR Dolby Vision recording up to 30fps.
So while the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 may not not have the telephoto camera and all that extra stuff, you're still going to get some great shots with the camera. And if you plan on shooting 4K video, they'll look beautiful and stunning, but guess what? 4K video files can take up quite a bit of space!
If you don't plan to take a lot of 4K videos but just need to shoot some photos, then 64GB should be fine.
If you plan to shoot some 4K video and take a good amount of photos, then 128GB is what you should consider.
For those who are going to shoot a lot of 4K video and photos, then you should get 256GB.
iPhone 12 storage size: Entertain yourself with media
Source: Christine Romero-Chan / iMore
The iPhone 12 mini may have the smallest screen size right now at 5.4-inches, but it's still a great device to watch videos while in bed. And the iPhone 12 has a bigger screen at 6.1-inches, so it's great for consuming video too. Both can also play other audio files, such as music, podcasts, audiobooks, and more. If you plan to consume a lot of media, you should think about the storage size on your future device.
A typical movie in iTunes is between 1GB-3GB for standard definition, and can be anywhere from 3GB-6GB for HD. Television episodes are about half that, but require more episodes to compensate. Individual song files are only a fraction of that, but when you take into account multiple albums, they will add up quickly.
But in today's world, it's not just about buying these forms of media from iTunes. There are multiple streaming services, like Apple Music and Spotify, Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and more. All of these also give users the option to download audio and video files locally so that they can be played even without an Internet connection. If you want to download stuff so that it's always available, and not just when you have a good data connection, then you'll need to have space to do so first.
If you always stream content and don't plan on downloading any to your device, 64GB is good enough.
If you want to have some video and audio files downloaded, then you should think about 128GB.
If you think you will be constantly downloading multimedia files to your device (to watch on flights, for example), then 256GB is the only way to go.
iPhone 12 storage size: Apps and games
Source: iMore
The App Store debuted in 2008, and since then, there are millions of apps and games available to download. Apps can help you become more productive, entertain you, maintain healthy habits, communicate with others, make your photos and video better, and so much more. Games are just downright fun and entertaining, and there are so many offerings available now on Apple Arcade. With Apple Arcade, you get unlimited access to dozens of premium and exclusive games for just $5 a month or $50 a year, and a subscription can be shared among six other people with Family Sharing.
But if you want to be able to download all of these apps and games, you have to have enough free space. Most apps are not that big in size, but the more graphically intense and complex games can require 1GB of space sometimes, so you need to keep that in mind. You should always have some space for apps and games if need be, but it is always possible to run out of space if you have a smaller capacity and don't manage it often.
If you tend to stick with stock apps and don't need a lot of apps or games, then 64GB should be okay.
If you want to download some apps and get some mobile gaming in, then consider a 128GB device.
If you love to try out new apps and mobile games, then get 256GB.
Who should get the 64GB iPhone 12 mini or iPhone 12?
Those who mostly just store their files and documents in the cloud, stream content, take some photos and not shoot a lot of 4K video, and don't want or need a lot of third-party apps and games should be okay with 64GB. Just understand that you are getting the worst value if you look at the price per gigabyte.
The bare minimum
For those who mostly use cloud services and streaming, don't shoot a ton of video, and don't want a lot of apps or games, then 64GB is good enough.
From $699 at Apple
Who should get the 128GB iPhone 12 mini or iPhone 12?
People who want a nice middle ground should get the 128GB. With 128GB, you can do a mix of having local and cloud storage for files and documents, media, photos and video, as well as download apps and games without worry.
The happy medium
The middle option lets you have a nice mix of local and cloud storage if needed, and you can have some downloaded multimedia to play back at any time. It's also great if you want to make use of the cameras, and download apps and games.
If you want to be able to download files, documents, multimedia, apps, games, and shoot a good amount of 4K video and take a lot of photos, then you should get 256GB.
The most space
If you want to make the most of your new iPhone and not have to worry about space, then the 256GB option is great for the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12.
Get what you need
While we break it down for you, when it comes to iPhone 12 storage size, you really should go with what you need and what you can afford. Everyone's budget is different, and so go with what works best for you. But if money isn't an issue, then think about what you're going to be using your iPhone 12 for. And don't forget to get a nice case for your iPhone 12 mini or iPhone 12!
We hope this breakdown helps you with picking out the storage size for your next iPhone 12 mini or iPhone 12. If you get one and aren't satisfied with the storage space, you can also return it within Apple's 14-day return window. Just make sure to check Apple Store availability beforehand.
