City councillors agree to write off more than £400,000 of debt
PUBLISHED: 20:51 14 March 2018
Archant é 2006
Norwich City Council has resigned itself to the loss of more than £400,000, after agreeing to write off a series of debts - including one dating back to the 1990s.
At Wednesday's cabinet meeting, members agreed to write off £266,000 in unpaid business rates, as well £147,226 of debt pre-dating 1998.
The business rates debts relate to a company called Project Zeus, which ran the bars Mercy, Flaunt and Rocco's restaurant on Prince of Wales Road, which went into liquidation in December 2016.
Members also agreed to write off around £40,000 owed by Eylex Ltd, a menswear retailer which went into liquidation last summer.
Councillors also agreed to write off more than £147,000 the council claimed to be owed from Norfolk County Council, relating to work it carried out between 1996 and 1998, as part of the highways agency agreement.
In both cases, cabinet members agreed the debts were irrecoverable.

At work we are particularly good at a sweepstake. Usually this involves picking a team out of a hat and waiting patiently for an inordinate amount of time until you either win or lose. Not here. Here we spend an inordinate amount of time making up extra rules and finding a way of making food enter the equation.
So here I am; baking for our work Bake-Off sweepstake because my baker (Andrew) lost in the final.
I never planned to blog about this, but as it seems that the bar has been raised yet again, I felt I had no choice to match that approach and provide a bit of a running commentary, some photos and a video to accompany my bake.
First of all, you need all of these are the ingredients. Pretty straight forward I think:
Secondly, you need to remove the cat from the equation otherwise he'll just end up licking everything - and that's never a good taste. I usually find it's best to feed the little bugger which makes him stop hassling me and allows me to lock him out of the kitchen:
Thirdly; do all of this:
What you end up with is a Chocolate Orange Halloween Pavlova Crown, based on the final theme of 'Royal' -complete with chocolate cobwebs, chocolate bats and caramel shards:
Enjoy, and don't forget to vote high!

|Rikath, Zekoith
|IC Date:
|Day 18, Month 9, Turn 3
|OOC Date:
|Rikath and Zekoith simultaneous to this scene.
|Posted by:
Rikath has a distinct aura of displeasure about him, the scrape of stone against metal grinding out his annoyance. « They have already sent a replacement for Kaseth. »
Zekoith is momentarily unfocused, his mindscape sending up only vines growing along Rikath's stones before the brown deigns to — or more likely, remembers to — actually speak in words. « Oh? » His vines twist; there's the hissing sound of jungle snakes in the background. « They. The villainous 'they' that mars the rest of Pern. Home at Igen has a They, too; home at Eastern had no They and no Them, but I think perhaps now we have — well. Perhaps one of Them. Is the replacement to blame? Is she wicked? Is /she/ the reason Kaseth is gone? »
Rikath is only mildly surprised to hear the vehemence in Zekoith's mindvoice; it's like having a true brother-in-arms for a moment. One who understands his natural tendencies toward distrust and violence! This might not be good for Pern. « Maura thinks this new one may not know why she was sent here, but is certain there is nothing good behind it for her to have arrived so quickly. And when Maura is suspicious… » Well, one can hardly blame the young woman for developing acynical frame of mind. But she has nothing on the dark tendrils of anger that curl around the brown's vinework and slither through stone for a moment. « We should be wary, yes? I do not like this. »
Zekoith was in love with Kaseth, a little bit, after all — as in love as a dragon can ever be. He was still mourning. By taking a nice long /nap/ while Ch'rii was at Jaya's doing — something that Zekoith remains entirely clueless about. « Maura is suspicious, » he echos. There is, without a doubt, surprise. « But not of these new ones. Have you asked her? Our new — gold. » Not their new queen. Not yet. This one must earn his respect.
Rikath echoes the sentiment of surprise. « Yes, Maura is suspicious. This upsets her. » Which makes Rikatheven *more* crabby, even if all he had with a little crush on Kaseth. « No, I have not attempted to speak with her yet. » he admits, disliking the very idea, pulling himself further back into dismayed darkness.
Zekoith is brown. Rikathis blue. That is really the answer: all a blue is going to have for a gold is a little crush! Zekoith had children in his future! « I'm not going to do it, » he points out. « We haven't met. And I am gardening right now. But if /she/ is not a They, she might know things. About Them and what They are planning next. »
Rikath twitches just enough that it shakes the stones of his self imposed fortress. It's a good thing the blue is not capable of reproducing. « Fine. I will… try.» he grumbles. « Them. And They. I do not like this. Maura does not like this.» Now he's just getting snarly.
Zekoith is no stranger to snarly, although he, instead, gets chittery. It is a low chirping sort of sound that signals irritability, and thankfully for Ch'rii is not a sound the brown can vocalize. « You are honorable, » he reminds Rikath. « For being the first to speak to her. We will all appreciate it. What does Maura say of her? The human. »
Rikath struggles, briefly, with a wave of mixed emotions that flood into him from Maura and he has to block so that poor Zekoith isn't inundated while their chatting mindlink is open. It's like the sound of a windtunnel suddenly being closed off with a NT explosion of falling boulders. « She is polite, Svaldirath. And tries to extend her sympathies for our loss.» he notes, in gravelly tones. « Maura says the rider is polite and not unkind. But stiff and formal for the moment. She adds… that she will be going to Jaya's when she is done with this, because now she needs a drink or four. »
Zekoith repeats, « Svaldirath, » as if trying to get used to it. To figure out if he likes it. The taste of the name on his mind. He's only briefly jarred by the forceful blocking provided by Rikath, and is grateful for it but doesn't speak on it. « Does she wish for mine to join her? He is 'working,' but he will be back. »
Rikath seems actually a bit more personable after he takes in all that excess negativity from his lifemate, the tone mellowing out to seem more like rock worn smooth by years of water and wind shaping it. « It is a pleasing name, I suppose. » he concedes. « You know Maura. If he has time, yes. If he is busy she refuses to impose. »
Zekoith is almost — /almost/ — allowing himself a brief moment of amusement as he relays, « Mine wishes yours to know he got her a skirt and he hopes that she likes it. And wants to know if also she would like a red dress. » There's a bit of a 'what in Faranth's name, Rii' to Zekoith's tone. He is rolling his mental eyes here.
Rikath allows himself plenty of boggling amusement at that. « He got her a what and … what? » he repeats, rolling his own mental eyes as well. Then, a sigh. Because nothing's more fun to HIM then passing mental love notes. Really. « She is quite grateful, and a red dress sounds perfect. SHe does not have one of those yet.» There's a pause, where Zekoith is maybe not supposed to hear him. « I am certainly /not/ passing -that- on. » Hnph.
Zekoith is not about to let it go, though: « I promise I will not actually tell Ch'rii, if you simply tell /me/ what you are not passing on. I'm curious, now. You've teased me. »
Rikath does the Rikathequivalent of a whine: metal against rock. « Do I really have to? She gets all mushy these days.» Whic he finds gross. Really.
Zekoith tries the mental eye-roll that he's been attempting to pick up from Rii: it almost works. His disdain is showing, though. « It makes mine uncomfortable in a funny way. Brihela would have said it was time to marry her now. If you tell me I will make sure he gets you a very nice rock! A shiny rock. »
Rikath joins in a second eyeroll, comisserating. « She blew him a kiss. » he admits, making a horking sound to accompany that. « And some sort of mental I love you.» He feels ill now. THANKS FOR MAKING HIM SHARE THAT ZEKOITH.
Zekoith pities Rikath. He really does, and offers up the draconic equivalent of a drink: mental waves of jungle rivers washing over Rikath's head and cooling the mental image away. « Ew, » he says philosophically. « I will not pass it along. »
Rikath accepts the pity, and the freshing water that washes away moss and mildew from old stone. « I appreciate that. Of course, now that you coerced me into sharing it with you, both of us /should/ have to suffer. » he points out, philosophical.
Zekoith suffers! Zekoith suffers elaborately. Feel his suffering. He is exuding grossed-out right now. « He used to just — I think he called it fuck and run? He does not do that anymore. I think that it is better. »
Rikath pauses for a moment in their shared disgust. « So he was just like D'lan then.» He, obviously, would not appreciate that treatment for *his* rider, a faint hiss of displeasure seeping through as wind howling past cracked stone. « Yes, I believe this is better.» He shakes off the moment of over-protective nuance by adding. « It would seem that the new queen's rider can be easily inflenced. So I have warned that there are some who would like Eastern to fail. We may be able to use this to our advantage. »
Zekoith is a bit shifty. Perhaps a bit uncomfortable. « Not quite as bad as D'lan. He was not so comfortable doing so to everyone and he never hurt people. He simply chose women who did not want to commit either. He was not ready. He is now. » A hesitation, some thinking. Rikath is a far better schemer than Zekoith, for sure. « Svaldirath will not want her Weyr to fail. She will be on our side. »
Rikath obviously relaxes some, then. « Oh really? » That gives the blue some food for thought. « If I had thought he would hurt Maura I would be much more cautious about letting her get so close. » Which means: okay, sorry for the comparison. « Yes, that is right. And Svaldirath may not appreciate her rider being /used/ as a pawn. »
Zekoith forgives, just as silently as Rikath apologizes. It's cool. It's all good. « Of course she wouldn't. Would anyone? Riders are not tools for others to manipulate. » Another hesitation, as he tries to catch up, the wheels of his brain turning. « Do you have a plan? »
Rikath allows ferocious wind to die, and pouring rain to dissipate into just the kind of humid mist that Zekoith appreciates. « My plan is Maura, of course. » He's almost smug about it too. « She can be as sweet and friendly as is usually expected of her; and in that way show Meiglen that whatever is being said about Eastern and its riders isn't to be listened to. » Even if half of it is true.

Posts for tag: dental implants
You have a lot of options for replacing missing teeth, from state-of-the-art dental implants to affordable, but effective partial dentures. But if the teeth in question have been missing for a while, you may first have to undergo orthodontic treatment. Here's why.
While they may feel rigid and firm in the jawbone, teeth are actually held in place by periodontal (gum) ligaments. These elastic tissues lie between the teeth and the bone and attach to both with tiny filaments. This mechanism allows the teeth to incrementally move over time in response to biting pressures or other environmental factors.
When a tooth goes missing the teeth on either side of the space naturally move or "drift" into it to help close the gap. This natural occurrence can reduce the space for a restoration if it has gone on for some time. To make room for a new prosthetic (false) tooth, we may have to move the drifted teeth back to where they belong.
If you're thinking metal braces, that is an option—but not the only one. Clear aligners are another way to move teeth if the bite problem (malocclusion) isn't too severe. Aligners are a series of custom-made, clear, plastic trays worn over the teeth. The patient wears each tray, slightly smaller than the previous one in the series, for about two weeks before changing to the next one. The reduction in size gradually moves teeth to their intended target position.
Many adults prefer clear aligners because they're nearly invisible and don't stand out like metal braces. They're removable, so you can take them out for cleaning or for special occasions. And, we can also attach a prosthetic tooth to the tray that temporarily covers the missing tooth space.
Whichever orthodontic treatment you choose, once completed we can then proceed with restoration to permanently replace your missing teeth. While it can be a long process, the end result is a beautiful smile that could last for years to come.
If you would like more information on your dental restoration options, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Straightening a Smile before Replacing Lost Teeth."
You've invested quite a bit in your new dental implants. And it truly is an investment: because of implants' potential longevity, their long-term costs could actually be lower than other restorations whose upfront costs might be less.
But to better ensure their longevity, you'll need to keep your implants and the natural tissues supporting them clean of bacterial plaque, a sticky biofilm that can cause periodontal (gum) disease. Although the implant itself is unaffected by disease, the natural tissues around it can be. An infection could ultimately weaken the bone supporting the implant and lead to its failure.
Such an infection involving implants could advance rapidly because they don't have the natural defenses of the original teeth. Our natural teeth are connected to the jaw through the periodontal ligament, a collagen network that attaches to both the teeth and the bone through tiny tissue fibers. This connection also provides access to antibodies produced by the body to fight infection.
By contrast, we place implants directly into the jawbone. While this creates a very secure attachment, the implant won't have the same connection as teeth with the body's immune system. That means any infection that develops in surrounding tissues can spread much more rapidly—and so must be dealt with promptly.
Treating this particular form of gum disease (known as peri-implantitis) is similar to infections with natural teeth and gums, with one important difference involving the tools we use to remove plaque from them. While natural teeth can handle metal scalers and curettes, these can create microscopic scratches in the porcelain and metal surfaces of an implant and create havens for further bacterial growth. Instead, we use instruments made of plastic or resin that won't scratch, as well as ultrasonic equipment to vibrate plaque loose.
To avoid an infection, it's important that you brush your implants and surrounding tissues just like you would your natural teeth (be sure you use a soft-bristled brush). And keep up regular dental visits for thorough cleanings and checkups to stay ahead of any developing gum infection. Maintaining your dentures will help ensure they continue to brighten your smile for a long time.
If you would like more information on dental implants, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Dental Implant Maintenance: Implant Teeth Must be Cleaned Differently."
When it comes to replacing a missing tooth, you have several options, including a removable partial denture or a fixed bridge. But the premier choice is "the new kid on the block" at just over thirty years old: dental implants. Implants are by far the most popular tooth replacement choice among both patients and dentists.
But they also happen to be the most expensive option, at least initially. So the question is, why invest in dental implants over less costly choices?
Here are 3 reasons why implants could be well worth their price.
More Like a real tooth than other restorations. Implants can match the life-like appearance of any other replacement choice, often utilizing the same types of materials. But where they really excel is in function—how they perform while biting and chewing. This is because the dental implant's titanium post imbedded in the jawbone replaces the tooth root. No other dental restoration can do that—or perform better when comparing the resulting functionality.
Best long-term solution. As we mentioned before, the initial implant cost is typically higher than either dentures or bridges. But you should also consider their durability compared to other choices. It could be potentially much longer—possibly decades. This is because the titanium post creates an ultra-strong hold in the jawbone as bone cells naturally grow and adhere to this particular metal. The resulting hold can withstand the daily forces generated during eating and chewing. With proper care they might even last a lifetime, and actually cost you less in the long run over other choices.
Adaptable to other types of restoration. Implants have greater uses other than as individual tooth replacements. A few strategically placed implants can also be used to support removable dentures or a fixed bridge for multiple teeth or an entire dental arch. As the technology continues to advance, implants are helping to make other restoration options stronger, more stable and longer lasting—and adding more value to your investment.

Dental implants are considered today's premier method for restoring missing teeth. Obtaining an implant, though, is often a long process and the implants themselves must be surgically placed within the jaw bone. Nothing to worry about, though: implant surgery is a minor to moderate procedure akin to a surgical tooth extraction.
Still like any surgery, this procedure does involve cutting into the soft tissues of the gums and could allow oral bacteria to enter the bloodstream. While most bacteria in the mouth are harmless (and even beneficial) a few strains can cause disease. For some people, especially those with certain heart conditions or joint replacements, this could potentially cause serious issues in other parts of their body that might be highly susceptible to infection.
To guard against this, it's been a long-standing practice in dentistry to prescribe antibiotics to certain high risk patients before a procedure. Although this departs from the normal use of antibiotics for already occurring infections, due to the circumstances this has been deemed an acceptable measure to prevent disease.
In the past, the categories of patients for which preventive antibiotics were appropriate had been more extensive. In recent years, though, both the American Dental Association and the American Heart Association have adjusted their recommendations. Today, your dental provider may recommend antibiotic pre-treatment if you have a prosthetic (artificial) heart valve, a history of infective endocarditis (inflammation of the inner linings of the heart), a heart transplant or certain congenital heart conditions.
While physicians may still recommend premedication with antibiotics for patients with joint replacements, it's not as blanket a standard as it might once have been. It's now only recommended for certain cases, such as patients who've received a prosthetic joint within the last two years.
There's still an ongoing debate about the effectiveness of antibiotic pre-medication. However, there's evidence medicating before procedures with antibiotics can be beneficial in avoiding infection. If you fall into one of the categories just mentioned or are concerned about infection, feel free to discuss with your dentist if using antibiotics before your implant surgery is wise move for you.
If you would like more information on antibiotic treatment before oral surgery, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Implants & Antibiotics: Lowering Risk of Implant Failure."
Teeth-replacing dental implants not only look life-like, they're made to last. For one thing, the metals and dental materials used in them are impervious to bacterial infection.
But that doesn't mean implants are impervious to failure. Implants depend on the bone and other natural mouth structures for support. If the bone becomes weakened due to disease, the implant could become unstable and ultimately fail.
Peri-implantitis, the condition that can lead to this kind of failure, is a major concern for implant longevity. It's a type of periodontal (gum) disease triggered by plaque, a thin film of food particles that can build up quickly in the absence of adequate brushing and flossing. The gum tissues around the implant become infected and inflamed.
If the infection isn't properly treated with renewed oral hygiene and clinical plaque removal, it could spread below the gum line and begin to damage the underlying gum tissues and bone. This could destroy the all-important connection between the titanium implant post and the bone. The implant could eventually loosen and become completely detached from the bone.
The key is early intervention before the bone becomes damaged. Besides plaque removal we may also need to apply antibiotics in some form to control the growth of disease-causing bacteria. If the disease has fairly advanced we may also need to consider surgical repair to strengthen the attachment between implant and bone.
You can help to avoid peri-implantitis altogether by practicing consistent daily brushing and flossing around all your teeth including the implant, and seeing your dentist at least twice a year for cleanings and checkups. And by all means see your dentist if you notice any signs of gum swelling, redness or bleeding. Staying on top of your gum health will help not only the natural tissues and remaining teeth in your mouth, it will help preserve your implants for decades to come.

AVERAGE pay rises climbed to a 15-year high of 3.7 per cent at the end of last year, according to a new report.
Pay analysts IRS said wage rises increased by 0.3 per cent in the final few months of 2007 to their highest level since November 1992.
Basic pay awards in the last few months of the year ranged from 2.5 per cent to 6.7 per cent, according to a study of more than 60 settlements covering more than 18,000 workers.
The increase was mainly due to pay rises being linked to the rate of inflation.
More than two thirds of the deals were higher than a year ago, while average increases in private firms were 1 per cent higher than those in the public sector, at 3.5 per-cent.
Inflation was now on a downward trend, and deals in early January averaged 3.5 per cent, the report noted.

Though it's nearly football and marching band season, concert band will have a special focus over the next few months at Southside High School.
The Southside High School Wind Ensemble has been selected to perform at the Alabama Music Educators Association Professional Development Conference next January in Birmingham.
Only a handful of high school bands from across the state play at the annual conference, which is attended by state music educators from middle school to college level.
Band director Matt Weaver said the selection is one of the results of the band program's continued progress and success.
The symphonic band has earned superior ratings at the state's music performance assessment for 30 consecutive years, and two years ago, the audition-only wind ensemble was created.
"It's quite an honor to be selected to play in only your third year," Weaver said.
He said the ensemble isn't limited to the usual high school band music and has played some pieces that he played while in college at Jacksonville State.
"They've pushed up consistently every year since we started," Weaver said. "They want to be challenged."
Applications to play at the AMEA conference were due last Spring, and Weaver had to send in sample recordings of two pieces as well as copies of their concert programs for the past two years.
Weaver pointed out that students who are no longer members of the band contributed to this success.
"I'm proud of our current and past members because we were selected based off last year's recording," he said.
With such a big January performance on the horizon, practice begins now that school has started, and the challenge is balancing concert and marching band rehearsals.
"A lot of it is trying to pick quality music and develop the ensemble, which is what we normally do, just bumped up a bit," Weaver said.
Students will have a concert band camp, and clinicians and guest conductors will be brought in to work with the band.
"It's a big commitment on an individual and group level. The kids will have to practice, and we'll have a lot of extra rehearsal," Weaver said.
This is the first AMEA performance for Weaver, who is in his fifth year at Southside, but it's not the first for The Pride.
The band became the only ensemble in the county to perform for an AMEA conference in 2003 under the direction of Hal Murphy.
"We've got the best kids in the state," Weaver said. "They work so hard, love what they do and make it a lot of fun."

Racing Tips – Top Tipster Steve Mullen's best horse racing selections for Monday, February 13
Steve Mullen guides you through Monday's racing from Plumpton, Catterick and Wolverhampton
PHOENICIANA has been hammering on the door with a third and two seconds from her three spins over hurdles. Just about her best of those runs was her latest when going down by a length at Lingfield last month. She likes this trip and the soft ground will also suit.
ROYAL SALUTE is looking for a hat-trick of wins over course and distance after two solid victories in similar conditions. He had almost three lengths to spare 14 days ago so a 5lb rise in the weights looks fair enough.
HOLBROOK PARK looks ready to win again after a solid second at Uttoxeter last time out. That was over just shy of 3m and he was leading until the closing stages so this trip in distance looks a wise move. He won't mind the ground and goes off the same mark.
GARDINERS HILL has hit a rich vein of form and has every chance of landing his fourth win on the bounce here. This slight drop in distance after winning at Hereford last time holds no fears, nor does the soft ground. He gets on well with today's 5lb claiming jockey which is another plus.
WISHICOULD is interesting making her handicap debut over a much longer trip than her novice events. She wasn't asked too many questions when third at Newbury last time when the impression was she could have finished closer to the pace. She won over this sort of distance in the pointing field which is another plus.
WORK didn't get the run of the race when third here last time out and was allowed to come home pretty much in her own time. She liked the soft ground that day and shapes like there will be a lot more to come.

Step by Step Instructions for port forwarding your NVR or IP Cameras
**This step is not necessary and is advanced. You can use the MontavueGO PC/Mac and MontavueGO Mobile app without port forwarding, you just scan the QR code or enter the serial number of your device and it connects from anywhere you have internet access.
1. Connect NVR and cameras to network with a CAT5 cable.
2. Download and install IP ConfigTool on local network computer from Montavue.com/wiki, under Software & App Downloads
3. Run the IP ConfigTool.
4. The IP ConfigTool should display your IP Cameras and NVR's on your network. Click the, "" icon or type in the IP Address in your internet browser to access your NVR or camera.
5. Configure Internet Explorer or Google Chrome security settings or download the app or plugin to access the camera or NVR.
6. Login with default credentials or your new credentials if you have set them up with a new user name and password
Default: User Name: admin Password: admin
7. In the IP Config tool to the right under operate there is a little pencil edit button, click that and switch to static. Most routers assign connected devices a random IP address that is not currently in use by another device on your internal network. When a router or networked device reboots due to a power loss or other issue, the addresses will change and the port forwarding configuration will no longer work. For that reason, we recommend changing your NVR and camera network setting to a fixed, or "static" IP address which will not change. Additionally, you can do it another way if you have opened up your NVR or camera in your browser via IP address go to Main Menu -> Setup -> TCP/IP Change the IP Camera to, "Static" if the camera is currently set to, "DHCP". You can also do this locally from the NVR, Main Menu ->Network Setting ->Click the edit pencil->Deselect DHCP if it is checked and then you will have a static IP
8. Open another tab and enter the, "Gateway" (your router's IP address) address listed under your NVR's Network settings. Example: 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1, 10.0.10.1
9. Login to your gateway or router and locate the, "Port Forwarding" section which is usually located in the advanced setup section.
10. Create port forwarding rules for each port you wish to forward for the NVR or camera. (Usually you will only need to forward the HTTP and the TCP port.)
Default Ports: TCP: 37777 UDP: 37778 HTTP: 80 RTSP: 554 HTTPS: 443
More advanced (optional): Additionally, you can change the HTTP port if you desire, but when accessing it remotely you need to enter the IP plus a colon, for example if your IP is 192.168.1.108 and you changed the HTTP port to 60 you need to enter 192.168.1.108:60
12. Hit, "Save" or "Apply" in the gateway/router interface, and open another tab.
13. Go to, "www.canyouseeme.org" and check that the ports you opened on the gateway.
13. If it says success on both ports you are good to go with port forwarding. Now you can use the IP address canyouseeme.org provides to access your NVR or camera remotely on any browser from around the world, in our example it would be 18.104.22.168. From there you would login and control your camera.
14. You can use port forward IP address in your internet browser, MontavueGO PC/Mac apps, and the MontavueGO Mobile Apps, also you can use it on many third party applications.

Creative Work
Live in the Light
Swept away by the morning tide,
darkness runs a race as I watch the sunrise
and the beauty of infinite
sweet second chances
is fully realized.
As I consider the dawn,
I see, no matter how many
clouds cursed yesterday's sky,
the sun's still on its beat,
the sun's still making time.
Sunrise reminds me no matter
how messed up yesterday's life,
I have yet another chance,
another day to live in the light
for the sun never fails to rise
as the Son never fails to rise.

DENTON, Texas – A homecoming party at a Texas school turned into terror and chaos when the third floor at a student housing complex collapsed.
The part at the University of North Texas on Saturday night ended with a flood of calls into 9-1-1 reporting that the roof had collapsed.
"Everybody was screaming and in total shock they didn't know what do," said Day Oyenuga, the party's DJ.
Seven people were injured as Denton firefighters discovered partygoers on the third floor falling into their neighbors living room.
"I was actually surprised when I walked in and I feel a sink in the floor..when I was carrying in my DJ equipment in... and I was like..this doesn't seem right," Oyenuga said.
Carley Carroll, the downstairs neighbor, said it was no surprise the floor collapsed, saying parties have been going on for months and the floor just couldn't take it anymore
"Every weekend there's a different party..and you can see the ceiling obviously going down. And it's one of those things that you fear would happen, but you don't think it's actually going to happen," said Carroll.
Carroll says none of the items in her apartment can be saved after the collapse, adding the sprinkler system went off for two hours.
"Right now I have no home. And nothing. I have my phone and my keys..and that's about it."
Students who lived in the complex will be set up at a hotel.

It adds 7 new slots: an amulet, belt and two rings slots. The baubles inventory is accessed by pressing the 'b' hotkey. It is probably a good idea to remap your normal inventory hotkey to the baubles inventory if you are going to be accessing it a lot.
Baubles mod adds very little content itself – it is intended to be an addon for other mods and the only reason I included an item at all was to serve as an example for other developers.
The ring gives a boost to mining speed when worn. (The potions are Swiftness II potions)

Elephone P9000 Edge: S7 Edge new rival ?
Elephone – a Chinese company- is about to bring us its new flagship- Elephone P9000 Edge. With a dual camera, 4GB RAM, this phone is expected to be the heavy competitor against Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
Elephone P9000 Edge: tough rival for S7 Edge
At the beginning of 2016, Elephone company announced its new flagship called Elephone P9000 Edge. However, after that, this phone hasn't been mentioned anymore. And now, the device is going back to the game with many powerful specs. And it also comes with a beautiful look, according to some leaked pictures online. So, it seems like the phone has the best of both worlds (powerful specs + stunning design).
A few months ago, Elephone P9000 Edge specs were listed on the company's official online store. According to this store, the phone would come with a 5.5-inch display with the resolution of 1080 x 1920p. This bezel-less phone is said to pack 4GB of RAM along with a powerful processor. And its price came at $329.9 (not include tax). However, everything has changed.
Recently, some alleged photos of P9000 Edge have been posted on official Elephone forums. Along with those images are its specs and price. And they are totally different from what we heard before. The phone will feature a 5.7-inch 2K display and a MediaTek Helio X25 CPU. The device will have 2 memory versions: 4GB/32GB and 6GB/128GB. The Elephone new phone is expected to be backed with a 3100mAh battery or above. There will be a dual camera and speakers with ACC which produces high-end sound quality compared to iPhone or Galaxy.
Elephone P9000 Edge: price
Beautiful design and strong specs, those are what the upcoming phone of Elephone brings to us. With these two factors, the phone is gonna be the hefty rival of Galaxy S7 Edge. The phone also comes with a competitive price. Elephone P9000 Edge price for 4/32GB version is about $250. The price of the higher model remains unknown. So keep your eyes on this phone. You don't want to miss it right?

Above Real Time Training for Team Invasion Sport Skills
Lorains, Megan, MacMahon, Clare, Ball, Kevin and Mahoney, Josh (2011) Above Real Time Training for Team Invasion Sport Skills. International Journal of Sports Science and Coaching, 6 (4). pp. 537-544. ISSN 1747-9541

Decision-making is identified as a key element of elite sporting success. There are many challenges, however, in the design and implementation of a decision-training tool. These include difficulty in recreating a scenario in which the simulation allows the participant to feel like they are performing in the 'real game', and creating a training tool that can complement an existing physical training regime. The main aim of this paper is to present arguments for the use of above-real-time training, as popularly used in military and pilot training, as a viable simulation training method in the sporting arena. Above-real-time simulations are simulations that are played above normal speed. The potential benefits of using traditional video simulations are discussed, especially with respect to the promotion of key characteristics of elite performance, such as automaticity. Furthermore, the possible practical applications of using above-real-time video simulations will be explored in relation to fast-paced invasion sports.

I have been filming hunts for about 6 years now and before I discoverd The Flex Cam it was a job just packing in all the gear that you need to film your hunt, and alot of the time I was by myself which makes it even harder. Now I'm using The Flex Cam, this product has changed the way I hunt and film. I've been able to film several hunts by myself this season when normally I would have someone else running the camera for me. This is an awesome product I would recomend it to anyone on a scale to 1 to 10 its an 11. I'm using a Kodak Playsport it does really well.Mike Leachman

Ryan Gosling is Neil Armstrong
It was the story of any given afternoon in Hollywood: a pair of experienced producers meets a sizzling young director over a concertedly casual lunch.
The producers, emissaries from a major studio, initiate ritual courtship — brandishing the keys to a virtual village of filmable, prefab intellectual property. The director need only take his pick from the lot.
It was 2014, and the director, Damien Chazelle, had recently debuted his second film, Whiplash, which was nominated for five Academy Awards and won three. He listened politely as the producers, Wyck Godfrey and Isaac Klausner, eventually pitched what would become his unlikely new film — First Man, an adaptation of James R. Hansen's definitive 2005 Neil Armstrong biography of the same name.
Chazelle was initially sceptical; previous efforts to bring the first man on the moon to the multiplex had sputtered over the years, and the director hadn't thought much about the pioneering American astronaut since elementary school. But the idea planted a seed in the back of his mind. Its fruit, starring Ryan Gosling (reuniting with Chazelle after La La Land) and Claire Foy (The Crown) as Mr. and Mrs. Moon Landing, will debut on October 12.
The three are in some ways a crew of misfits. For one thing, neither Gosling nor Foy was actually born in the land of liberty (he's Canadian, she's British). And Chazelle's earlier films have earned him a reputation as a spirited decoder of compulsive artistic genius, not as a caretaker of national mythology.
But First Man, a meditation on collective ambition and individual sacrifice, has more in common with that early work than one might expect.
"Although it's very different from an artistic achievement, I think the moon landing, for me, has a similar effect, because it's such a poetic, symbolic moment that we all get to experience," Chazelle said, joined by Gosling and Foy for a phone interview last month.
"But, of course, the reality is we're not fully experiencing it — the ways in which so much failure and cost had to precede that success story, the darker underbelly of the mythology," he continued. "And I think it was learning about that stuff that actually gave me a fuller appreciation of just how insanely brave and courageous they all were." Here are edited excerpts from the conversation:
Damien, I have to ask: Why outsource these jobs to a Canadian and a Brit?
Damien Chazelle: Wait, they're Canadian and British?! [More laughter] The short answer is, for reasons that are hard to describe, there almost never was a moment where I didn't see Ryan in this role. When I met with him about it, that was actually our first time meeting — we hadn't worked on La La Land yet. But all during La La Land," Neil, and Ryan as Neil, were in the back of my mind.
With Claire, it was really hard for me to figure out who could do [Armstrong's first wife, Janet] justice. It's so specific, especially if you look at the archival footage, the little bits of interviews of her. So I never would have expected that a British person would have been the one to do the role. But I was a big fan of Claire's from The Crown and I [met with her and saw] her do her interpretation of an interview of Janet's that just blew me away. Very quickly, it became obvious to me who had to play the role.
Ryan, how do you personify someone who is literally a postage stamp, someone generations of Americans have grown up with and have their own ideas about?
Ryan Gosling: Well, Jim Hansen's book was really incredible. He was a close friend of Neil's, so that was an important tool. But really I've never had more help on a film. Neil's sons [Mark and Rick Armstrong] were very involved, I had the opportunity to meet Janet before she passed away. Neil's sister, June, childhood friends, co-workers. Both his and Janet's legacy were very important to a lot of people, and the insights that they shared about both of them were invaluable.
Claire, the movie kind of proceeds on two tracks: one following Neil in the sky and the other following Janet at home with the children and the other astronauts' wives. How did you see her role in the larger story of putting a man on the moon?
Claire Foy: I don't think that she felt that she was doing anything for the moon landing except supporting Neil. But she also knew that he could take care of himself, that it wasn't her job to take care of him. They had this understanding between the two of them that was quite equal, I felt. So I think Jan really had her own life and she wanted to live that life fully. She had no intention of kind of living half a life because her husband was constantly putting his life in danger.
The death from cancer of the Armstrongs' young daughter, Karen, becomes an unexpected catalyst in the film. Was that bereavement, which is not widely known, always a part of the story you wanted to tell?
Chazelle: Like most people, I never knew Neil had lost a daughter, let alone right before he joined NASA. Many of the people Neil worked with never knew anything about it — both he and Janet were somewhat private individuals and didn't advertise their emotions. So the question became: What happens to you as a human being when you're trying to process that kind of grief and are not processing it the way that, from a modern perspective, one would be advised to process it? You're just kind of letting it fester inside you.
It did seem that, in some ways, that could be the thing that, without his even knowing it necessarily, drove him to keep pushing these boundaries and eventually wind up on the moon. And obviously it also becomes a question of what happens to a marriage when it goes through that loss. So that became sort of the guiding dynamic for the movie.
Gosling: When you talk to his boys, they talk about how he just had a ferocious appetite to know why things work. He was an engineer at heart and they described him as a human Google. I can only imagine, when you're faced with such a tragedy, it seems like such a basic human instinct to want to find meaning in that. And since that type of loss is something that it's hard to find answers for on earth, it seemed like it was certainly possible that he might also be searching for answers in the universe.
That's not something that he ever said directly, but I was encouraged by his sons' and Janet's reaction to the screenplay, because it seemed that they felt that was a possibility as well.
The scene where Neil throws Karen's bracelet into the crater — tell me about that. The rest of the film is meticulously naturalistic, and then it takes this bold, conspicuously ahistoric leap.
Chazelle: Well the idea for it did actually come from the historical record. Not that there's a specific record of an object he left behind on the moon of Karen's, but the parameters around it —we do know that Neil went off for about 10 minutes by himself, without being on comms or transmitting anything, to stand by this crater. And we know he brought at least one or two personal items that he did not disclose what they were. People that were close to him, specifically his biographer Jim and Neil's sister, June, who Ryan and I spent some time with up in Ohio, hypothesised that he may have very well brought something that reminded him of Karen that he left on the moon.
But of course it's not something that Neil ever confirmed or would confirm, and in a way I guess that makes it even more beautiful to me, the idea that he would kind of keep that with him and, I would imagine, Jan, and no one else.
There's been some controversy over the fact that the film doesn't show the precise moment when the American flag is planted on the moon's surface, although the flag is shown on the moon after the fact. How aware were you of the current political atmosphere while you were making the movie?
Chazelle: It certainly wasn't intended as a political statement, even though some have interpreted it as such. To me, the whole point of doing the movie was to focus on the things we didn't know and we didn't get to see that happened on the moon. We wanted to try to really focus on Neil's subjective emotional experience and just see things through his eyes. Everything else had to be kind of alluded to in a more elliptical way.
The movie makes you feel the cost that was paid to put a man on the moon. And of course the big question that follows from that is "To what end?" I wonder if you feel like you ever got close to an answer.
Chazelle: One thing Mark Armstrong mentioned that really sort of spoke to me was this idea that if you're going to judge the moon landing on the basis of the rocks that were brought back, or the experiments that were done there, or the things that have been done on the moon since, then yeah, you do have to ask, when you look at the enormous cost and sacrifice of life, "Was it worth it?"
But there's this whole other less tangible side. The inspiration and sense of hope it gave to people all over the world. The motivation it gave to an entire generation that was taught that the impossible is possible. I think the enormous symbolic weight of it is hard to overstate.
What I find so poignant and beautiful about the moon landing is that on one hand, from a physical standpoint, it is this almost arbitrary goal — people walking on this barren surface and then returning home. But as a moment of humanity, and displaying what humanity is capable of, there's maybe nothing that can ever top it.

This weekend, the IMSA Prototype Challenge (IPC) makes its fifth visit to VIRginia International Raceway for Saturday's one-hour, 45-minute penultimate round of the six-race championship.
And if history is our guide, whoever hoists the winner's trophy atop the podium Saturday has an excellent chance to do the same with the championship trophy at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta in October. In all four previous IMSA Prototype Challenge events at VIR – dating back to the first one in 2012 when the series was known as "Prototype Lites" – the eventual series champion was a winner at the 3.27-mile, 17-turn circuit dubbed "America's Motorsports Resort."
Last year, it was Kris Wilson, who combined with Stephen Simpson to win the first IPC "endurance" race at VIR in the No. 30 Extreme Speed Motorsports Ligier JS P3. Wilson went on to take the LMP3 class title at season's end and will be back at VIR this weekend in the No. 3 Jr III Racing Ligier Js P3.
The 2018 event was the first at VIR since 2015 for IMSA Prototype Challenge, nee "Lites." Eventual L1 class champion Kenton Koch, who currently co-drives the No. 2 eEuroparts.com ROWE Racing Audi R8 in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge with Tyler Cooke, won the first race of what was then a doubleheader weekend for the series at VIR and finished third in the second race.
Misha Goikhberg, who now drives the No. 85 JDC-Miller Motorsports Cadillac DPi-V.R in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, swept both races at VIR en route to the 2014 Prototype Lites L1 title. Another current WeatherTech Championship DPi driver, Tristan Nunez, won both Lites races in the series' inaugural VIR visit back in 2012 on his way to the year-end title.
So, who will it be this year?
No. 47 Forty7 Motorsports Norma M30 co-drivers Austin McCusker and Rodrigo Pflucker are likely the favorites. They head to VIR fresh from their first IPC victory of the season in last month's three-hour race at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park.
McCusker and Pflucker also finished second in the first two races of the season at Daytona International Speedway and Sebring International Raceway. With three podiums in four starts, they come into this weekend with a 13-point lead over No. 4 ANSA Motorsports Ligier JS P3 co-drivers Leo Lamelas and Neil Alberico, who won the three-hour season-opener at Daytona in early January.
No. 60 Wulver Racing Ligier JS P3 co-drivers Bruce Hamilton and Tonis Kasemets are third in the LMP3 championship standings heading to VIR. They're 33 points behind McCusker and Pflucker with best runs of third at Daytona and Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
Of course, there's also the potential for somebody to "steal" the victory this weekend and put an end to the trend.
Dylan Murry is one driver who fits the profile. He comes into the weekend 38 points behind the co-leaders, a deficit that would be tough to overcome with just two races remaining. But Murry won the race at Mid-Ohio in early May and is always a threat in the No. 54 MLT Motorsports Ligier JS P3 that he will share this weekend with Skylar Robinson.
Stevan McAleer is another one. He trails the leaders by 41 points, but the former IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge champion won at Sebring this year and is sure to be tough again this weekend in the No. 43 Robillard Racing Norma M30.
Looking at the LMP3 Bronze Drivers Cup standings, No. 70 PR1 Mathiasen Motorsports Ligier JS P3 co-drivers Joel Janco and Jonatan Jorge lead the way with 132 points on the strength of class victories at Daytona and Sebring and podium results in all four races this season. They're 14 points ahead of No. 86 ONE Motorsports Ligier JS P3 co-drivers Dave House and Paul LaHaye.
The one-hour, 45-minute race caps a busy day of action at VIR on Saturday. The green flag will drop at 5:55 p.m. ET Saturday with live streaming available on IMSA.tv and NBCSN television coverage set for Monday, Sept. 2 at 6 p.m. ET.

Africans congratulate Nigeria's outgoing Agriculture Minister Akinwumi Adesina on his appointment as head of the most prestigious bank in Africa, the African development Bank.
The appointment of Nigeria's Agriculture Minister Akinwumi Adesina as the next head of the African Development Bank (AfDB) has generated many reactions from Nigeria and also across Africa.
Soon after he was voted in as the new president of the bank, Adesina wrote a note of thank you to his fans on his Twitter account.
This followed a flood of congratulations messages on social media and elsewhere from his home country Nigeria and from across the continent.
Speaking at an inauguration dinner for Nigeria's newly elected President Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria's outgoing President Goodluck Jonathan voiced his support for Adesina, "For me, it is a good parting gift."
Adesina was voted in on Thursday, just a day before the closure of the bank's 50th annual meeting. 54 African countries and 26 non-African countries, who are also shareholders of the bank took part in vote.
Adesina was among eight candidates who were vying for the post. His two main rivals were Chad's finance minister and Cape Verdean finance minister.
On Semptember 1, Adesina will take over from Donald Kaberuka, a Rwandan national who has been the president of the bank since 2005.
Agriculture is the way to go
Born 55 years ago in Nigeria. Adesina earned a PhD in agricultural economics.
He is the winner of several awards in the agricultural sector, including the prestigious YARA prize, which was given to him for introducing innovative means of improving farmers' yields.
Nigerian farmers have seen significant agricultural reforms under Adesina. In 2012 he introduced an e-wallet system whereby 10 million mobile phones were distributed to Nigerian farmers. This was done to avoid middle-men, who have always been a stumbling block when it comes to receiving information on seedlings and fertilizer vouchers.
A large number of farmers registered for this system and analysts say that it has made the lives of many Nigerian farmers easier. This innovation led Forbes Magazine to name Adesina African of the year in 2013.
Wealth creation
As the president of the bank, Adesina plans to make the agricultural sector more attractive to young people, create jobs for them and finally improve the continent's rural economies.
Speaking to DW a day before Adesina was elected as president, Omar Ben Yedder from IC Publications in London, said Adesina's aim is to create wealth and this is what Africa needs at the moment.
He wants "to encourage people to enter the agricultural sector and to make it a sector which is also attractive to the banks and to investors" Ben Yedder said.
"We really need to make the continent one where we are not looking for handouts but we are looking for partners, we are looking for investors and we are looking for people who will help in the transformation," Ben Yedder added.
The African Development Bank (AfDB) is set to elect its new chief at its annual meeting in Abidjan. In the last 50 years the bank has focused on fighting poverty and improving living conditions on the continent. (28.05.2015)
The race for the next African Development Bank (AfDB) head is on. Eight candidates are contesting for the job. The incumbent Donald Kaberuka's second term will end at the end of the year. Who will be his successor? (27.05.2015)

With Its Earnings Debut, Can Canada Goose Take Flight?
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
If there's any way to pour cold water on a hot IPO, it's that first-ever earnings report. Snap failed the test last month and the stock tumbled. Now Canada Goose gets its shot.
But when the company delivers earnings on Friday, it won't just be compared to Snap and other recent IPOs. There are also the recent struggles of other clothing manufacturers and retailers to think about.
Canada Goose hopes its strong brand and product differentiation will allow it to continue to command high prices on jackets and other offerings. In the nine-month period leading up to its IPO, the Toronto-based company boasted a 19.6% operating margin, almost double that of competitors VF Corp oration (the parent company of North Face) at 12.7% or Columbia Sportswear at 11.5%. Since the March 16 IPO, Canada Goose shares are up almost 13%.
The spring quarter is traditionally the weakest of the year for Canada Goose, responsible for only 8% of annual sales, so investors won't be expecting tomorrow's release to make or break the stock. Instead, they'll pay attention to how the company's new spring clothing line performed in its first season on the market.
When Canada Goose went public, it promised investors it would continue to grow its business by expanding its product offering beyond its signature $900 down parkas. Canada Goose took its first step in that direction this quarter, releasing multiple styles in new lighter wind- and rain-wear collections. The company plans to further expand its brand to include a knitwear catalogue in the fall.
Another key growth strategy for Canada Goose is to expand its geographic footprint. Almost 70% of the company's revenue came from North America in 2016. Investors will look for indications that Canada Goose has taken steps to grow brand awareness and increase sales in Europe and Asia. Currently, the company's best markets outside of Canada and the US are France, the UK, Japan, and South Korea. Canada Goose will seek to expand both its retail presence and e-commerce sales in markets with high future growth potential including Germany, Italy, Scandinavia, and China.
Big Picture: Canada Goose is set to deliver its first-earnings report on Friday. Investors will be looking for signs that the company is expanding its product offering and geographic presence.

Ron Paul Says 'No Thanks' to CPAC
The reigning champion of the CPAC straw poll has decided not to attend this year. Rep. Ron Paul, who won the poll in 2010 and 2011, turned down a speaking slot at this year's event to campaign in Maine, the Examiner reports.
Paul is the only remaining Republican candidate to decline the invitation, the rest will be there to kiss the ring of conservatism. But Paul has a better surrogate than most, his son Sen. Rand Paul, who will speak at the event.
The impact the lack of "The Ron" will have on his devotees, affectionately called "Paultards" by CPAC attendees, remains to be seen. But local stores are predicting a major impact on their bottom line, cutting their expected increase in aluminum foil and hat pattern sales by 75 percent.
