Chile, Spain, New Zealand, Italy with a dash of Washington, Oregon, and Brooklyn… no you're not at Epcot, you just stepped into Breukelen Cellars, the newest addition to the Bed-Stuy Gateway. Located at 504 Nostrand Avenue by Halsey Street, Breukelen Cellars will be uncorking its doors on Thursday, March 3 with a grand opening and wine tasting menu at 6pm. Owner and Bed-Stuy native John Samuel was nice enough to let us in and give us a VIP tour of the shop. "It's more than just a wine store" said John, "it's a wine and art boutique." Pointing out vibrant oil paintings by local artist Joseph Bolton, John continues: "every month we have rotating exhibits from local and international artists, too!" Seeing a gap in the area for a wine store and an exhibit space, John plans on opening up to weekly wine tasting events and showing off the art: Thursday-Saturday starting at 6pm and on Sundays, from 2-4pm.
With a price range of $10-$50 per bottle, Breukelen Cellars offers a little something for everyone in the hood. John suggested some of his favorites like the Chilean Terra Andina and the New Zealand Saveé Sea for their quality and affordability, as well as the Tablelands Sauvignon Blanc and the Crianza Dama de Toro. He also suggested the crowd pleaser Loca Lind Malbec (I mean, who can pass up a liter for around $20?). With Sake and Plum Wines coming soon, John is going to have all of his bases covered.
So I will see you at Breukelen Cellars soon – being so close, I will (un?)fortunately be spending most of my paycheck here… they have a 70% tempranillo with my name on it.

Neschen Latex Open Day
I had two months to create some pieces for the Neschen Latex Open Day. My brief was to use certain medias to inspire our customers in what they could do with applications of media.
With help from my team, we were able to build two exhibition pieces. The first a set-up child's bedroom wall and door piece. This involved showing the application of different wallpapers, and printing on a door to create a whole image on one wall.
The second exhibition was a "Cardboard Coffee Cafe". Everything in this piece was made, even the clamps to hold together. The use of Latex and UV printing created applications including floor graphics, useable (and sturdy) table and chairs, window graphics, art canvas', outdoor signage and more. 3D printers helped with the clamps and hooks to hang the canvas'.
It turned out pretty successful!

The new infused water bottle, Aquatiser, have asked me to take photos of their accessories and bottles. Lots of fun photographing these, mainly because you could eat fruit and work at the same time. I have a Aquatiser myself now, and they've changed my perception of drinking water as I never drink near enough nor like the taste of plain water. I used to drink the Volvic fruity water, but the amount of sugar in them is ridiculous. But this fun and easy concept really does help me drink a lot more water on a daily basis!

Protection of the environment in the course of coal mining and processing is one of Raspadskaya Coal Company's priorities. The company regularly performs environmental monitoring (laboratory tests) of runoff water, water bodies, the atmosphere, land, vegetation, etc.
Based on 2015 results, EVRAZ was among the top 10 mining companies in Russia in terms of environmental responsibility according to the rating developed by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) together with the United Nations Development Programme, the Global Environment Facility and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of the Russian Federation.
In 2017, the Year of the Environment, Raspadskaya Coal Company brought into operation state-of-the-art water treatment facilities at the Raspadskaya Koksovaya mine and the Abashevskaya mine and at the shutdown MUK-96 mine. Russia's biggest coal mine, Raspadskaya, is upgrading its treatment facilities. Construction of water treatment facilities is in progress at the Alardinskaya mine, and the design of treatment facilities is in progress at the Raspadsky open pit and Osinnikovskaya mine.
In 2018, a virtual tour of the Uskovskaya and Yerunakovskaya-VIII water treatment facilities, an IT solution developed by Raspadskaya Coal Company, was awarded a gold medal at the Siberian Eco Forum.
In 2018, 2,400 pine seedlings were planted on 18 hectares of affected land.
Every year, miners hold gardening and landscaping campaigns in Novokuznetsk and Mezhdurechensk. The company's environmental specialists promote awareness among pupils at schools and children attending kindergartens. They hold the following events: "Earth Day", "Birds Day", "Live, Wellspring", "Second Life for Trees" and "Collect. Bring. Recycle". Raspadskaya Coal Company employees take part in All-Kuzbass subbotniks (volunteer clean-up events) and months of planting trees.
In 2018, 270 hardwood seedlings (ash, mountain ash, apple tree) and 20 softwood seedlings were planted in the Novokuznetsk district; 545 trees were planted in Mezhdurechensk (spruce, birch trees, bird cherry trees, etc.).

If several years ago buying a new Smartphone was difficult because of the combination of desirable features and prices, today the variety of available models is the factor that really puzzles. Take a look at Infinix Zero 2 X509 – maybe it is exactly what you need.
Infinix managed to join the list of established technology brands in just a few years. It was set up in 2013 in Hong-Kong, and now is one of the key players on a market. Developers do everything to combine innovative features with eye-catching design and irreproachable quality. Thus, clients get quality, reliability and aesthetic pleasure. Infinix has designed already three lines of devices. One of the latest – Infinix zero 2 – has already become an acknowledged mobile hero.
Lighter, slimmer, stronger – that's the new formula. Unlike earlier models, the device is covered with highly resistant KEVLAR in diagonally designed patterns. It is probably the main difference between this and previous models, which makes it tougher. Smooth metal finishing guarantees pleasant touch and exquisite look. Now, the Smartphone is completely protected from unexpected falls, though remains lightweight. The model comes in a limited color variant – black and red.
Size: 140mm x 70mmx 6.7mm
Weight: 118g
5-inch HD AMOLED display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3 and surrounded by an aluminium frame, which protects it from scratches and serious damages. Display resolution remains the same – 720 x 1280 pixels.
Operating System & Processor
Operating system and processor were upgraded compared to the previous model. Now we have Android Lollipop OS and an Octa-Core processor of 2.0GHZ for ultra-high performance. Multitasking and running of high-graphic games is not a problem.
2300mAh Li-Ion battery pack (also larger capacity compared to its predecessor) ensures more hours of usability. Taking into account the fact that company's major target audience is located in Africa, where power supply often isn't stable, it is a considerable advantage. Note that a battery is non-removable, and this model doesn't have a fast-charging feature.
The internal memory is 16/32GB. There is SD card slot as well. This model supports 64GB/128GB memory card and keeps working as smoothly.
You don't have to carry your camera around all the time, because from now on you always have a portable version with you. Users get everything they ask for – 13MP, LED Flash, Autofocus, Geo-tagging, Panorama mode, and 5MP front camera for video calls and awesome selfies. Smart functions mean that you can take pictures by a simple wave of a hand.
High-quality sound is ensured regardless of whether you listen to music via a loudspeaker or headphones. An equalizer makes it possible to adjust sounding according to your own preferences. Thanks to the abovementioned display specifications, clear video image is guaranteed as well.
You can use headphones suitable for 3.5mm audio jack and connect a Smartphone to other devices enabled with microUSB slot. The slots are placed at the top.
Other Features
When you buy a Smartphone, you get an entire collection of pre-installed apps for your work and entertainment. Google, Gmail, Gtalk, Youtube, Facebook, one of the battery management apps, document viewers and editors. You can instantly connect to any social network, too. Share photos, videos, thoughts whenever you want .There is no need to remind about standard Messaging capabilities and Internet access means.
Where to Buy
If you ask whether new Infinix zero 2 is worth buying, our answer will be obviously "yes!" So now you are in a hurry looking for a right place to buy it. These models are available in numerous stores. Luckily, you don't even have to go anywhere. Just make yourself comfortable and open Jiji.ng. It is the biggest marketplace in Nigeria, which will make your shopping much convenient. There is a lot to say about its advantages. But all you need to know is that all items from a huge selection of stuff are now available at low prices and affordable to everyone. Don't hesitate for too long and get a new device.

I imagine you'll get as many answers to those questions as there are life coaches.
From my perspective, life coaching is an organized and supported method of making desirable change in one's life and being held accountable in the process. Examples where this can be useful are resolving a problem, making a decision, taking a leap, examining limiting beliefs and blocks, reaching a goal, changing a habit, making a life transition and spiritual support. When navigating uncharted territory, finding new answers in life or meeting challenges, it can be helpful to have a trusted support network. A life coach can be a major asset in that network.
A good life coach will start by getting an assessment of the various areas of your life, and help you narrow down the issues, questions or areas that you want to work on together. They will probably ask you a lot of questions and you'll initially spend a lot of time talking about your current situation and what you'd like to change or work on. A good life coach is also a very good listener and by the time you are done with the assessment they'll be able to clearly summarize the picture you've painted of your situation, and what's important to you.
A life coach is someone who helps you find your own answers, helps you uncover your passions and facilitates you through the challenges of the process using various techniques. They'll help you find the sweet spot, the place where you stretch your comfort zone while maintaining harmony in your life. They will also help you set goals and actions steps accordingly.
A life coach is something like AAA road service for life. If you've locked your keys in your car, your battery has gone dead or your tire is flat, you'd call road service. In the same way, a skilled life coach can help assess your situation and put their skills and tools to good use to help you find and move in the direction you want to go.
When choosing a life coach it's important to make sure that person is a good match for the needs you have. If you are looking to start a business, it may help to find a life coach who has that kind of background themselves. If you are looking for spiritual support or direction, its helpful to be sure that the life coach you are considering resonates with your sense of truth. If you want to change a habit or uncover limiting beliefs and blocks, it can be helpful to find someone who has experience in working with various types of inquiry methods.
Before you commit to any number of sessions with a life coach, you should have at least one free session with that person to have your questions answered and also to feel into whether you are a good fit to work together. Ultimately, life coaching should be something that feels supportive and enjoyable for you. That person has an important role in the changes that you are wanting to make. You want to feel comfortable and confident that you are making the right choice. Don't feel pressured to commit to something that you don't really want to do or aren't fully comfortable with. A life coach of course makes their living at what they do, but your well-being needs to be at the forefront of the work that they do.

Europe has many different regional cultures and customs, and still we need to work together in the EU frameworks. Already at the start of EuroAsiaSPI² in 1994 it was decided to place the conference in a different region every year and that the local host organises social events that help us to learn about the hosting culture, the traditions, history and the local food. This has a large influence on what social events EuroAsiaSPI² offers.
Bilbao is a city which integrates Basque culture, history, research, industry, and the world's most famous museum for modern arts.
Social Event at the First Conference Day (5.9.2017)
We organised a boat trip including Basque food and drinks with Bilboats. We organise 2 - 3 boats building a EuroAsiaSPI fleet on the Bilbao river and sea. We will have a marvellous view on the Guggenheim museum and the city from the river. We will enjoy Basque food and drinks.
Start Time: 19.00
Attendees will go by bus to the harbour location at 18.15.

After 19 Nov 1473 Nicholas Fitzherbert was buried at Church of St Barlok. Fluted Period. Fine set of weepers. Two wives shown on one end. Clenched Fist Crest usually left-handed; probably a mistake by the sculptor. Yorkist Suns and Roses Collar. Feet resting on a Lion.
After 02 Mar 1484 Ralph Fitzherbert was buried at Church of St Barlok. Monument to Ralph and wife Elizabeth Marshall. Finely made in Chellaston alabaster of the Fluted Period.

Ralph and Elizabeth had twelve children, six male, six female so probable the weepers represent their children, possibly with spouses, possibly with offspring since in the two females duos there is a noticeable difference in height. Tudor Livery Collar. Fine sabbatons, the armoured feet, with spurs. Note the beadsman under the right foot. Unlikely the sculptor had ever seen a lion. Feet resting on a Lion. The Fitzherbert Clenched Fist Crest. A finely carved Butterfly Headress. A finely carved collar with Mary and baby Jesus pendant. A Bedesman looking somewhat bored.

Possible Reasons for Stock Splitting
As an investor, you need to understand all there is to know about stock dilution.
As an investor, you need to understand all there is to know about stock dilution. Stock splitting is one of the most common ways in which the shares of a company are diluted. When the board of directors of a publicly traded company decides to issue new stock to existing shareholders and lower the value of current stocks, it is called a split. Instead of buying research papers, companies often decide to split their stock for one of the following reasons.
Many companies prefer to keep their stocks valued at a similar level to the competition. This provides incentive for small investors to jump ship from a competing company and change loyalty. If the shares of a company cost twice as much as a competing company, a small investor is less likely to buy stock in the more expensive company. Many companies in this position decide to split their stocks.
Publicly traded companies prefer to be in the news. Publicity makes the companies receive more action from traders. Many companies decide to issue splits to get in the news and attract more trading action. This decision carries many risks as stock prices often fall sharply after a split due to a lack of confidence from investors. Still, it does give the company much-needed publicity, so many companies choose this method.
Small traders look for easy liquidity in their stocks. These traders want stocks that are easy to buy and sell. In the stock market, more expensive stocks are difficult for small investors to purchase. Companies with high valued stocks often enact a split even if they are at a similar value to their competition. This split makes the companies a more attractive investment for small-time investors.
When a stock drops below a certain value, the governing authorities of the market often delist it. To prevent this, publicly traded companies perform a rare type of split known as a reverse split. A reverse split works like a regular split, except the company regroups shares already owned by investors instead of splitting the stock. This raises the value of shares to keep the company listed on the stock market.
All of the possible reasons for stock splitting make it hard to tell whether it is good or bad at first glance. If a company that you have stocks in splits, you own more shares although your shares are worth less. Understand the possible reasons, and decide whether you want to remain a shareholder.
Events and Factors That Can Make Stock Prices Soar
Stock prices depend on a number of factors, some of which are completely beyond the control of the companies. While nothing is certain in the world of stock trading, there are several factors that reliably make a stock price soar. Depending on the degree and timing of these factors, a stock can jump in a single day or enjoy a quick rise over a longer period of time.
Earnings Forecast
Wall Street analysts set benchmarks for companies to meet, basing these forecasts on market projections and a company's past performance. Failure to meet these forecasts shows a weakness in the company, and the stock price either falls or remains stagnant. On the other hand, when a company exceeds the forecasts, the stock price generally rises due to increased investor confidence.
The government does not directly control stock prices, but legislative activities do have a profound impact on the market. For example, if Congress places a tariff on foreign car imports, the stock prices of domestic car manufacturers jump because of expected market growth. Similarly, when the government awards a lucrative contract to a company to supply a product or service, the company's stock price soars.
The introduction of a new product often makes a stock rise. If the product is highly anticipated, such as Apple's iPhone, the mere rumor of the product is enough to send stock prices upwards. If demand for the product proves stable, and the product boasts good sales, the company's stock jumps even more.
Investor confidence often takes the form of a label. Whether a company is deemed a blue chip stock or is added to the Dow Jones industrial average, a show of confidence by Wall Street makes a stock price rise. A positive label or rating from investment firms is enough to give any stock a boost.
Mergers and Acquisitions
A company's stock can jump with the announcement of a new merger. If a company acquires a new brand or joins forces with another company, this move usually creates a spike in the price. If the acquisition involves entrance into a new foreign market or adding a new product line, the price soars even higher.
There is no sure way to predict the movement of a stock price. While these factors are common contributors to a stock's rise, they are also the forces behind its fall. The nature of the stock market means that the things the benefit a stock are the same things that can hurt it as well.

In the wake of a second reported case of hepatitis A involving a food handler, Public Health Sudbury & Districts is extending its community notice to customers of the Real Canadian Superstore, Sudbury, said a news release from the health agency.
Anyone who consumed clerk-served deli meat or cheese, or meat and cheese from prepared deli trays purchased from the store between November 27, 2019, and January 2, 2020, could be at risk of hepatitis A infection, said the release. This notice extends to January 2 the original notice which was to December 16. The second hepatitis A case was reported to Public Health on January 1, 2020.
This second case of hepatitis A involves an employee who, along with the first case, worked at the deli department at the Real Canadian Superstore. Public Health reported on the first case on December 16, 2019. Based on information to date, both cases handled only deli food and did not handle food elsewhere in the store.
"With the report of this new case, the time period for potential exposure to hepatitis-A through eating the clerk-served deli meat or cheese, or meat and cheese from prepared deli trays has been extended," said Dr. Ariella Zbar, Associate Medical Officer of Health, Public Health Sudbury & Districts.
"Anyone who ate the affected food purchased from November 27 to January 2 should monitor their health, and if they ate the food in the last 14 days, they should get vaccinated. People who already received their vaccination do not need to be revaccinated. They are protected," said Dr. Zbar.
"This is unfortunate but perhaps not unexpected," said Stacey Laforest, Director, Health Protection Division, Public Health Sudbury & Districts. "Public Health is working closely with store operators and workers, and any food that may have been at risk has been removed from sale. This development is an important reminder for those who are eligible to come in for immunization against hepatitis A and for all who have eaten these foods to monitor their health for symptoms," said Laforest.
Who is at risk and who qualifies for free vaccination?
- Anyone who consumed clerk-served deli meat or cheese, or meat and cheese from prepared deli trays from the Real Canadian Superstore located at 1485 Lasalle Boulevard in Sudbury, Ontario, that was purchased between November 27, 2019, and January 2, 2020, is at risk for hepatitis A infection. The original date range of concern was November 27, 2019, to December 16, 2019.
- Anyone who in the last 14 days consumed the affected food, qualifies for a free hepatitis A vaccination. A single dose is required for protection.
- IMPORTANT:Anyone who previously received the hepatitis A vaccination is protected and does not need an additional dose to protect against this exposure.
Individuals who ate the foods more than 14 days ago are advised to contact Public Health, monitor their health for signs and symptoms, and follow up with their health care provider if symptoms develop.
"Clerk-served" refers to food products that are offered for sale unpackaged and then packaged by a clerk upon request by the consumer (for example, deli meat for sale at the deli counter that is sliced and packaged by a clerk).
Any affected food that was purchased during this time period should be discarded or returned to the point of purchase. This food should not be eaten. To date, there is no evidence that anyone who consumed the food is infected.
Public Health Sudbury & Districts is hosting vaccination clinics to offer free hepatitis A vaccine to those who qualify.
Clinic details
Free vaccination clinics will be held at Public Health Sudbury & Districts' main office at 1300 Paris Street in Sudbury. Drop-in (no appointment needed). Parking on site. Check phsd.ca for clinic wait times.
- Friday, January 3, from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
- Saturday, January 4, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
- Sunday, January 5, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

I'm going to let God's Word do the speaking about Living on Borrowed Time. Buckle your seatbelts and let's go:
Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, "Where is this 'coming' He promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation." But they deliberately forget that long ago by God's word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.
But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness. Instead He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.
Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with His promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.
So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him, (2 Peter 3:3-14, emphasis mine).
These days after the multiple disasters predicted for September 2015 didn't happen, people—even believers!—have started scoffing. After all:
- The Jupiter Effect planetary alignment disasters of 1982 didn't happen.
- Heaven's Gate cult, comet Hale-Bopp apocalypse of 1997 didn't happen.
- Nostradamus' prediction of August 1999 terror from the sky didn't happen.
- The disasters predicted for Y2K didn't happen.
- The May 5, 2000 Antarctic ice mass disaster didn't happen.
- The End of the World deaths of millions predicted for 2008 didn't happen.
- The Mayan Calendar end of the world in December 2012 didn't happen.
- And now, the multiple deaths and disasters (both natural and economic) predicted for September 2015 didn't happen[1].
All these failed disaster predictions have birthed a term called apocalyptic fatigue. Apocalyptic fatigue no doubt explains why so many people (including believers) have become scoffers. The above passage from 2 Peter addresses both the failure to predict the date of the coming judgment and the scoffing due to apocalyptic fatigue.
It's true that everything seems to be going along just as it always has. That doesn't mean that judgment isn't coming. It doesn't mean that God is asleep (or doesn't exist). God is patient, not wanting to have to condemn anyone. He's giving mankind a stay of execution (see Living on Borrowed Time—Wake Up!).
And even though it's been delayed, it doesn't mean that the Rapture won't happen, either. Some believers have become Rapture Deniers (see Scoffers and Rapture Deniers). I think part of the reason why they deny the Rapture is because it just seems too good to be true. You know how some people have the philosophy that if they expect the worst, then they will be pleasantly surprised when something better happens. Well, it won't work that way for believers who deny the Rapture. They will get exactly what they're expecting—only it will be far worse than they've imagined. I do believe that some are called to stay behind in order to share Jesus with the world left behind. But some will simply miss their divine appointment in Heaven because of unbelief.
Even though mankind has been granted a stay of execution, they need to accept the full pardon that has been given to all of us through the atoning death of Jesus Christ in our place.
If you haven't accepted the full pardon, it's very easy and completely painless. Just admit to God that you have done wrong against Him. Ask Jesus to be your Savior, and let the Holy Spirit fill you with His love. Begin to live this new paradigm. Draw on the Holy Spirit's help to change and to live a life that pleases God. It's not a formula or a method, it's a moment-to-moment loving relationship.
God will show you where you need to be attending church, whether it's a traditional church or a simple house church. Be ready to join a body of believers. Get into the Bible (and the Bible into you). The Bible looks like a book, but you will find that it will become very personal in its messages. This is because the Bible is the Living Word of God. God will speak to you through the Bible.
Most important of all, now that you're a believer, get out there and share the love of Jesus with others. Tell them what He has done for you. Show them how easy it is to become a child of God. There is no time to waste! God is patient, but judgment will come. God is good!
[1] The link recounts 27 predictions for September/October 2015, which is interesting. Twenty-seven is the biblical number for the Holy Spirit (3 x 3 x 3) and for Holy Truth.

This flier for the long forgotten - but fondly remembered 'Killing Time' looks to be circa 1991. Jed, Tubby and Co did a short residency at the Royal Derby on Brunswick Street. Great band, great days....check out the old Killing Time poster we had here and Cowboy Col's great post on Jed Starr as well.

t's not news that reading more and better books will make you smarter. Basically every business icon you hear about regularly on this site, from Elon Musk to Bill Gates to Jeff Bezos, is a huge reader. And because 'read more' is such common advice, so are a bunch of obvious strategies to accelerate your reading.
If you're interested in the topic at all, you've probably been told by now that it's OK to give up on books you're not interested in to make space for titles you'll devour. Likewise, it's probably occurred to you to spend less time browsing social media and more time with books. Maybe you're even read about the advantages of having a stack of unread books lying around so you'll always have options to pick up when you finish your last book.
But what if you want to go beyond these entirely solid but pretty well circulated suggestions? Then a new HBR post from author and podcaster Neil Pasricha is for you. In it he offers a host of offbeat but effective ideas to get you reading even more. You're pretty much guaranteed not to have heard them before.

Blackrock Lido Swimming Pool – Brighton 1936
Blackrock Lido – a feast of bathing belles
Opened by the Mayor, Councillor Edward Denne, the Ceremony was not overtaken by the accompanying storm!
Blackrock Lido was designed in beautiful art – deco style, the pool was built on the site of an ornamental garden. 165 feet by 60 feet it held 334,000 gallons of ozonised water.
The people of Brighton were proud of their beautiful crystal clear sparkling blue pool. It was situated in a prominent sea shore position in the Kemp Town region. It led to an undercliff walk. Black Rock was probably named after a large rock or cave that once laid at the foot of the cliffs.
Black Rock also marks the point where the white chalk of the South Downs meets the sea. Gazing over the pool from the top of the cliff, many a passer-by was entertained by the happy, carefree spectacle below. A fun filled little paradise which is surely missed since closing.
How Did The Lido get it's Name? Jean Penney from My Brighton & Hove
"In the thirties this lido opened and it was very, very popular. The actual site of the lido, although it was called Black Rock, was where the Volks Electric Railway Railway Station is and Volks Electric at one time ran from Black Rock right out to Rottingdean.
There's a story of how Black Rock got its name – if coal was brought through the town they had to pay a tax on it. Black Rock at that time was out of town so the boats delivering the coal used to dump it just at this spot."
For the ensuing season in May 1947 it was a different story weatherwise to the actual Opening above!
In brilliant spring sunshine on May 3rd, His Worship The Mayor of Brighton Alderman T.E. Morris J.P. declared the Lido open for the swimming season.
It was preceded by a short display given by members of the Brighton Swimming Club and instrumental music.
The pool with its' crystal clear waters, it's sunbathing terraces, its first class restaurant and a kiddies paddling pool was a paradise being on the foreshore with the Downs in the background..
The Mayor – a veteran swimmer hoped that the afternoon's glorious weather was the omen of a good season, and the fullest possible use of the facilities would be made young or old, including potential trainees for the Olympic Games.
Mr J.C. Thompson, the general manager wanted the Olympic swimmers to make Brighton their headquarters in 1948.
An "Olympic Clinic at King Alfred Baths" situated at the western end of the promemade.
Closed 1978.
Work began on the Marina in 1971. Heavy deposits of dirt and cement dust, plus noise, discouraged patrons – 80,000 per year had dropped to 21000. Cracks also appeared and the pool began to tilt to one side.
The pool was demolished after much debate.
Various proposals had been made for the site ………
A Hotel
Special Events Place
Children's Village
An Activity Centre e.g. blading, ice skating, water sports.
Sand sculptoring is present today June 2013.

We are delighted to have been awarded a Certificate of Merit for our film entry for Mitie in the recent prestigeous Institute of Internal Communication (IoIC) Central and North Awards as well as an Award of Excellence for an image for Love Daventry in the Imagery category.
In 2018 Mitie launched a new set of corporate values which it needed to communicate and bring to life for a widely dispersed audience of over 50,000 employees across the UK. Geography was one challenge. So too, the sheer diversity of operations and ensuring that the values resonated with people, no matter what role they had.
We worked with the Mitie team to develop a concept for a three-minute video to capture the essence of the business, its people and how Mitie is living up to its promise of 'The exceptional, every day'.
Rather than a series of interviews we opted instead to highlight the breadth of Mitie's operations and how people performing their roles every day embodied each of the new values. To do this we filmed employees in locations around the UK, including at client premises such as the Rolls-Royce aero engines facility in Derby.
Using text integrated into the footage to bring out each value in turn, we filmed Mitie people involved in roles that included phone mast engineer, secure document disposal, cleaning and catering.
The film concludes with the voices of Mitie people reinforcing the new values and reminding colleagues throughout the business of the power of being part of 'One Mitie'.
The video was used by the executive team as the centrepiece of a series of nine conferences across five days, reaching more than 2,000 people. The film is also now included on Mitie's website and has been featured as part of a new values launch event.
Here's a shorter highlights version.
Daventry District Council has created its 'Love Daventry' campaign as a focal point to promote all that is good about Daventry for people living, working and visiting the town. The 'Love Daventry' website brings together information on places to visit, regeneration efforts and a guide to what's going on in Daventry and the surrounding areas.
So, when the Women's Tour of Britain cycle race concluded one of its stages in Daventry, we spotted an opportunity to use photography as an ideal way to capture the thrills, spills and excitement of the race as it passed through the town's streets in a way that the Council could use to maximum effect both as part of a film promoting the town and also a series of images.

Britain's vote to leave the European Union may have been a shock, but a prolonged period of warm weather in July was even more unexpected.
At least that is what the latest retail sales figures show. Like-for-like retail sales, which excludes newly opened or closed stores, rose by 1.1% in July, while total sales rose by 1.9%. This was the best performance since January according to the British Retail Consortium and KPMG index.
The increase suggests there has been no post-referendum drop-off in consumer spending, despite surveys forecasting that the confidence of business and households have taken a hit.
However, this should not be a surprise. Firstly, more than half of voters wanted Brexit. It is an obvious statement but one worth remembering when considering the potential damage to the economy from the vote. The 52% who voted for Brexit presumably did not think that they would be worse of as a result, so they will be less inclined to rein in spending then those who wanted to stay in the EU. In fact, some Brexiters may have celebrated the result by spending a few bob on a nice bottle of bubbly.
As it stands, of course, nothing has actually changed yet. Britain is still a member of the EU. The impact on household spending may not filter down until businesses actually pull operations out of the country or cut jobs.
Secondly, though, the warm weather in July offset any underlying shift in consumer sentiment.
Retail sales figures for the UK are notoriously volatile, with the BRC and KPMG report considered the most accurate of a mixed bunch by retailers. However, trends are easily identifiable, and those in the July report show a textbook British reaction to a heatwave – spending on summer clothing, picnic and barbecue food went up, and spending on furniture went down.
Food enjoyed its best sales performance since November 2013, excluding distortions for the timing of Easter. In contrast, furniture fell from being the best-performing retail category in the year so far to just the fourth best. After all, who wants to do DIY inside when the sun is shining?
There is one intriguing titbit in the figures that will be worth watching in the coming month – sales of jewellery and watches rose sharply in July, making it the best performing retail category. BRC and KPMG claim this is at least partly because of international consumers taking advantage of the weakness of sterling to buy luxury items. However, Eid also took place in July, which will have boosted the market.
It will be interesting to see whether the luxury market can sustain this performance. If it does, then it could offset the effects of a Brexit slump if one hits households when the warm weather inevitably disappears.
National living wage vs executive pay
The trade associations who have written to the government calling for the national living wage to be reconsidered could not have timed their letter worse.
Their intervention was revealed on the same day that the High Pay Centre reported that the average pay for FTSE 100 chief executives rose 10% last year to £5.5m. Company bosses now earn 129 times more than their employees.
The disparity between the national living wage letter and executive pay is staggering.
The trade bodies want Greg Clark, the new business secretary, to slow or scrap the scheduled increase in the national living wage from £7.20 an hour now to more than £9 by 2020. The initiative was introduced by George Osborne and establishes a new level of base pay for workers over 25. If it does reach £9 then it will be one of the highest minimum wages in the developed world.
To be fair, some of the organisations behind the letter represent small businesses, convenience stores, pubs and farms. They are concerned about the economic uncertainty caused by the result of the EU referendum and are keen to keep their costs under control.
However, the national living wage must not fall victim to Brexit. The policy was a small step towards closing the grotesque gap between the pay of workers and their bosses. Any change would send a terrible message.
Theresa May has already said she wants the economy to work "for all, not just the few". The new prime minister should be looking at ways to increase the national living wage further and clampdown on executive pay, not vice-versa.
Southern strike
The new five-day strike by workers on the Southern rail network does not reflect well on the RMT trade union, Govia Thameslink, the company that holds the franchise, or the government.
The long-running saga is a national embarrassment. Not one of those parties has done enough to resolve the dispute, which revolves around the phasing out of conductors on trains.
The RMT claims that the safety of commuters will be put at risk by conductors being removed from trains, but their safety is more at risk from having to squeeze on overcrowded trains during the dispute.
As for Govia Thameslink, when the dust finally settles from this dispute, they should lose the franchise. They have been unable to cooperate with trade unions and their workforce, which is surely a vital component of any service.

Verisimilitude and Jokes About Your Mother: Humor in Fantasy
Patrick Weekes is the author of The Palace Job, his debut book about a humorous high-fantasy heist.
I grew up reading about heroes saving the world with magical swords and feats of magic, and I knew pretty early on that someday, I would write fantasy myself. But I also realized, once I started writing my own stuff, that if fantasy is the genre of myth and legend, then I am forever destined to be the little kid who asks where the hero goes to use the bathroom.
Part of it is because as I grow older, I am increasingly aware that most fantasy worlds are, if examined with a modern eye, sometimes unlikely, and often completely absurd. There are a hundred ways for authors to cover this absurdity and coax the reader back into a comfortable suspension of disbelief, but humor has always been my favorite. In Kage Baker's The Anvil of the World, the myths get stripped bare, and people react to the magical and impossible with delightful realism. Often, hearing a character say, "Demons? Really? And that struck you as a good idea?" is all the reader needs, a gentle acknowledgment that yes, this is a little silly, and now we can all go back to the swordfighting.
Another part of my love of humor can probably be blamed on my family. I grew up in an Irish-American household where the weekly game of Hearts only ended when someone started crying. Nothing gets you to the heart of someone's personality like friendly trash talk, the joke whose tiny little edge digs deeper than expected, piercing the armor we put up around ourselves and laying bare the traits we can never discuss straight-faced. There's a reason so many great works have soft spots for their court jesters and trickster gods--they tell the truth, as we the readers wish we had the courage and the wit to do ourselves. Coyote Blue, by Christopher Moore, is one of my favorite stories, with an idiot trickster whose hilarious commentary sometimes cuts to the bone.
I was initially uncertain about categorizing my own book, The Palace Job, as humor, because I remember the terrible things I put my characters through more than the witty rejoinders or clever twists. Eventually, though, I realized that people didn't like the humor despite the dark parts of my work, but because of it. Comedy and tragedy both bring out our strongest emotional responses, and like a roller coaster, the most breathtaking twists are the ones that involve a change in direction. I loved Stephen King's Under the Dome, but for all the gruesome horror that comes from watching a small town fall apart, I also laughed out loud regularly, because King is just that good at whipping your emotions back and forth. Coming from the opposite direction, Terry Pratchett's Discworld books (particularly the City Watch ones, starting with Guards! Guards! and Men at Arms) made me laugh until I cried, only to get honestly teary-eyed moments later from its portrayal of alcoholism, betrayal, and prejudice.
This may be why humor gets its own subgenre when people discuss fantasy. It's an odd fit, and one that not everyone finds comfortable. At its core, fantasy is about myth and legend, and humor is about reminding you of what it means to be human, with all the imperfections and contradictions that carries. I'm glad there are so many wonderful writers out there who like to ask where the hero goes to use the bathroom.

Usually I moan about the lack of trains to away games. TV companies changing kick off times without taking into account last train times or engineering works. It is the bane of my life. Up there with ticket prices as a major frustration of being an away fan.
Coming up we already have a nightmare journey to Southampton to come on Boxing Day. There were already no trains due to engineering works, so fans were already having to make alternative arrangements. Matters were then made worse with BT Sports deciding to move the game to a 7.45pm kick off. By the time the game is over and everyone has driven home, it will be gone midnight.
I feel for everyone's designated driver. Boxing day should be a joyous occasion filled with football and beer. A 3pm kick off would at least mean the designated driver would be home at 8pm and able to get a few in the boozer – paid for by his pals who he has just taken to the game – and have a decent night. Now, he has no chance, unless he decides to drive straight to O'Neill's in Leytonstone.
Personally, changing the fixture has ruined my chance of doing every league game this season. I was on course for the 38. Had planned holidays away from games. Opting for short midweek breaks (Ibiza & Egypt) to ensure I was back for the weekend (yes, some might call me sad). However, the change in times means I have no chance of making it.
The plan was to spend Christmas in Suffolk, escaping on Boxing Day to Southampton for the game. A 3pm kick off would mean I would be back in Suffolk at about 11pm, enabling myself to continue the full Christmas festivities before handing back to London for Bournemouth at home, and then back to work on Tuesday 29th December. The change of times means it is not far on family for me to arrive in Suffolk on Christmas Day, bugger off early hours of Boxing Day morning, never to be seen again.
So that is my chance of doing the magical 38 ruined.
Also coming up, we have a Tuesday or Wednesday night trip to Liverpool coming up in the 2nd week of January. Great. Just as we all get our holiday reset, we have to take a couple of days off (with no trains) to head up North. This fixture shows that the Premier League are as bad as the TV companies when scheduling games.
Yes, it is a random computer generation, but they do put stipulations in it, such as distance of travel for sides on Boxing Day & New Years Day. Why they can not repeat this for scheduled mid week games I do not know.
Anyway, rant over.
Today I do not mind the lack of trains. A mid week cup tie in a backward northern town. It is what you live for as a football fan.
Anyone going tonight is probably sitting there at work now, reading this, looking at their clock.
A half day booked off. Football gear hidden under the desk. It hits 1, a quick change in the toilet before commuting to wherever you are meeting your mates. In my case, it is the hour and twenty journey from Twickenham to Walthamstow. Meet my pals at Walthamstow Central, before the drive up to Sheffield.
A 3 and a half hour commute. As long as we do not encounter traffic (Everton away last season, adding an extra 2 hours to the journey), or a break down (THAT mini bus trip to Burnley which meant we missed the game and watched it in a pub in Coventry), we should be in a pub near the Leppings Lane end by around 6pm.
The journey will hopefully be swift. We will have some tunes blasting out (Courteeners, Rifles, The Who, Fetty Wap, The Jam, etc). Some Haribo will be eaten. And a couple of cans will be sunk – not by the driver obviously. I am buzzing writing this.
Watch the game, then the reverse journey. Bombing it back down the M1, knowing that we have tomorrow booked off. We will be back in London by about 1pm. Will any pubs be open? Probably might. If the result is good, a cheeky trip into Rainbow's in Liverpool Street might have to be the plan of action to finish off the night.
I am buzzing for tonight. It is a rode trip. It will be cold, it will be dark, it is up north so will probably be raining.
It is a trek, but for once it is not due to greedy TV companies. It is for the Cup. And if you can't get up for the Cup, what are you in football for?
Have a safe journey to all my fellow travellers. As I write this we have 5 hours until we can finish work.
Safe driving

|What's Next for Women Tech Entrepreneurs?
What's Next for Women Tech Entrepreneurs?
Tech leaders from upstate New York share their perspective as Ithaca gets ready to host Upstate Capital's Women, Money & Tech event March 19
Women in the tech sector still fight an uphill battle for acceptance as just 2.2 percent of all venture capital investment in the U.S., or $2.3 billion of a total $96.7 billion invested, went to women-led startups according to TechCrunch. That's why Upstate Capital, a nonprofit organization focused on increasing access to capital for companies and deal flow for investors across Upstate New York, is hosting "Women, Money & Tech" on Tuesday, March 19 at REV Ithaca in partnership with Women in Tech at Cornell University.
Women Tech Entrepreneurs Struggle for Recognition
Few people understand the issues women tech entrepreneurs face and how best to overcome them than Elisa Miller-Out, Entrepreneur in Residence at Cornell University, and managing partner at Ithaca-based Chloe Capital, a seed-stage VC firm that invests in women-led tech companies.
"My work has a strong sense of purpose and mission. It's no surprise that fundraising is top of mind for many of the female entrepreneurs I speak with both as a mentor and in my role at Chloe," said Miller-Out. "In addition to connecting these entrepreneurs with sources of capital, I spend a lot of time advising them on team growth, finding co-founders, sales and marketing strategies, customer discovery work and more. We're working hard to close the gender and diversity gap in tech entrepreneurship and we're building a community in the process."
More Women Securing Leadership Roles at VC Firms
Upstate Capital Executive Committee member Jennifer Tegan knows first-hand what it's like to enter the venture capital world. She was the first hire of Ithaca-based Cayuga Venture Fund where she helped lead the transition from an angel group to a formal venture fund in 2002, eventually becoming Partner and Vice President of Finance/Administration.
"Women are as capable as men in venture capital. The real challenge is that the VC world is rather small, and when firm leaders recruit for open positions, they tend to hire those people that look 'just like them,' which traditionally has meant predominantly white men. That is a problem for women and people of color when they go out seeking capital. Funds that are more gender and racially diverse will typically invest in entrepreneurs that are more gender and racially diverse. It is critical to spend time networking, as VC firms tend to hire and work with people with whom they have overlapping networks and connections," says Tegan.
Unconscious Biases Huge Factor in Funding Determinations
A recent Academy of Management Journal study demonstrated that inherent gender bias occurs. The study found that male and female entrepreneurs get asked different questions by venture capital firms than their female counterparts. Sixty-seven percent of the questions VC investors explored the male entrepreneurs' hopes, achievements, advancement, and ideals. By contrast, 66 percent of the questions asked of the women entrepreneurs explored issues related to safety, responsibility, security, and vigilance. Moreover, both female and male VC investors adopted this approach, clearly betraying an unconscious bias that women-led startups inherently pose a greater risk.
This bias may help explain why among those entrepreneurs included in the Academy of Management study, men secured five times more financing dollars than women.
Embracing New Opportunities
And research conducted by First Round Capital of its own portfolio revealed that companies with a female founder performed 63 percent better than its investments with all-male founding teams.
That same study also found that teams with more than one founder outperformed solo founders by a whopping 163 percent and solo founders' seed valuations were 25 percent less than teams with two or more founders. This could be an upside for women as they often work more collaboratively than men.
As for the location of a tech startup, of the 200 companies First Round reviewed for its internal analysis, the 25 percent of those companies based outside New York City and the Bay Area on average performed as well as or slightly better than their urban peers.
Tegan concurs that great opportunities exist outside major metropolitan areas.
"Building a successful startup community requires three conditions: a pipeline of innovative ideas often originating through college or university entrepreneurship or emerging tech programs; people who have the initiative, experience and acumen to execute on starting/running/growing a new venture; and access to money and resources such as those offered by Cayuga Venture Fund," Tegan says. "We are one of the oldest and most active VC funds in Upstate New York, which perhaps helps explain the robustness of the startup community in the Southern Tier region."

Background and Objectives: Preoperative portal vein (PV) embolization using the percutaneous transhepatic approach has been performed in patients with hepatobiliary malignancy before extensive liver resection. The aim of this study is to evaluate the technical feasibility and initial safety of EUS-guided selective PV embolization using a coil and cyanoacrylate in a live porcine model. Methods: EUS-guided selective intrahepatic PV embolization with a coil and cyanoacrylate was performed in 9 pigs. The selected PV was punctured with 19G fine-needle aspiration (FNA) needle, and the coil was inserted under EUS-guidance. The cyanoacrylate was then immediately injected through the same FNA needle. The blood flow change in the embolized PV was evaluated using color Doppler EUS. A necropsy was performed following the 1-week observation period. Results: The success rates for the coil and cyanoacrylate delivery were 88.9% (8/9) and 87.5% (7/8), respectively. In 1 case, the coil migrated into the hepatic parenchyma. In another case, the cyanoacrylate injection failed due to early clogging in the FNA needle. There was a complete blockage of blood flow confirmed by color Doppler EUS in the embolized PV after coil and cyanoacrylate treatment. There was coil migration into the hepatic parenchyma in 1 case. There was no animal distress observed during the 1-week observation period before necropsy. The necropsy showed no evidence of damage to the intra-abdominal organs, and the selected PV was totally occluded with embolus. Conclusion: The study findings indicate EUS-guided selective PV embolization is both technically feasible and initially safe in an animal model.
Keywords: Embolization, EUS, feasibility, portal vein, safety

The chilling timeline of killer dad Chris Watts
The chilling timeline of killer dad Chris Watts
Four months after a Colorado man strangled his pregnant wife and smothered his two young daughters to death, the woman's grieving parents are still trying to come to terms with the horrific murder, they said in their first interview.
The New York Post reports that they thought their daughter was in a happy marriage.
"That's the big word — Why?" Frank Rzucek, father of Shanann Watts, 34, told ABC's 20/20. "He must have snapped, because there's nothing else I could figure out what happened to him."
"We did scream at God, yes we did," Sandra Rzucek, Shanann Watts' mother, added on the program. "The devil comes to you in any shape, size and form and can be transformed into anything."
Christopher Watts, 33, pleaded guilty to the heinous slayings of Shanann — who was pregnant with a son the couple had already named Nico — and their two daughters, four-year-old Bella and three-year-old Celeste, in exchange for prosecutors sparing him the death penalty.
Watts initially played the role of concerned husband and father, telling police and news outlets that he had no idea what happened to his family.
But when, two days after they were reported missing, the girls' lifeless bodies were found stuffed into oil tanks and their mum's remains were uncovered in a nearby shallow grave, Watts changed his tune and admitted strangling his wife, but only because, he claimed, he saw her abusing Celeste.
Investigators quickly determined that that story too was "a flat-out lie" and that Watts wanted a fresh start with his mistress.
The Rzuceks called Shanann a "phenomenal" mother who would "do anything for her children" and battled lupus for a long time.
The family at first "loved" Watts, whom Shanann had met through Facebook, they said on the program.
"You just don't sleep very good with lupus," Sandra Rzcuek said. "She had her head on his lap, and they were watching TV. He didn't move. He didn't get up to go to the bathroom. He didn't get a drink. He let her sleep for four hours. I told her, 'God must've sent him to you.'"
It wasn't until Shanann went with the girls to visit her family in North Carolina for six weeks — while Chris stayed behind — that any marriage problems started cropping up.
Once Shannan and the kids arrived home, Shanann's friend Addy told 20/20 that Shannann had texted her to say that Watts "had changed" and told her he didn't "want another baby."
Watts was sentenced in November to five life sentences, three to be served consecutively, without parole.

Discussion in 'Bluegrass Glockers' started by domzilla9, Apr 3, 2007.

Whew. I'm glad Beretta didn't show up.
The bad weather probably scared him off along with the other fair weather shooters.
Just remember John, in the privacy of his own home Greg can wear as many Blue Ribbons as he wants.
Yea but at the Range Dean, you and myself have many more Blue Ribbons than Greg. Well I just remembered Greg doesn't have any offical Blue Ribbons.
John, now that you mentioned it, I don't recall Greg ever winning a match that gives away ribbons. I guess he just doesn't have the right stuff.
Does Indy's give you a ribbon if you eat twenty or more chickens in a month?
The only Blue Ribbon Greg is going to get...
Only if they have feather on them.
All I have to say is that I wish I could choose my reshoot as my scored match. Guess I'll just have to shoot some warm up shots before actually shooting a match from now on. Last 2 matches I screwed up the scored string but did way. way better on my second try. I just hate that. It's embarrassing to zero out on penalties. :embarassed:
I always shoot better the second time. Once the pressure is off it's easier to do what you know you can do. I zeroed out on a stage at KAPS a few weeks ago. Don't sweat it, but just remember that it's a different game than IDPA.
Sorry I wasn't there, the day was so nice I rode my bike back to my house from work, leaving my truck. I took a nap until 5:30, and then all hell broke loose, so I couldn't get back to my vehicle. The day wasn't wasted, though, I knocked out 400 rounds of ammunition.
Fun news: I just acquired a 1911, and will be shooting that exclusively for the next month, getting ready for the single stack tournament. Glock folks feel free to mock my missed reloads and low magazine capacity.
If you can't cash them who cares.
You can still shoot with us anytime.
Just remember that we do not think any different of you based on you shooting good or bad because on occassion we/I have not shot so well.
I'll be there with you. Im shooting a Kimber Gold Match II in the Single Stack division.
If it makes you feel any better, I did the exact same thing for the longest time, but eventually all my runs evened out. Lately, my first run has been my best run, because I'm just shooting, and not trying to "game" the stage.

What is considered a bus permit?
Any bus or van that transports more than 10 persons must have a bus entry permit.
