Two-time UEFA Cup winners Sevilla FC will begin their campaign to get their hands back on the trophy against FK Mladost Podgorica or FK Senica, after the draw for the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round was made in Nyon on Friday.
The 2006 and 2007 winners were not the only big names involved, with 1990/91 European Champion Clubs' Cup victors Crvena Zvezda drawn to face FC Chornomorets Odesa or FC Dacia Chisinau should they overcome ÍBV Vestmannaeyjar in the second qualifying round.
Italy's Udinese Calcio, group stage competitors for the last two seasons, will play FC Irtysh Pavlodar or NK Široki Brijeg while VfB Stuttgart will aim to better last term's run to the round of 16 when they start against HŠK Zrinjski or PFC Botev Plovdiv.
English League Cup winners Swansea City AFC make their European bow with an intriguing-looking tie against Malmö FF or Hibernian FC, with the Swedes leading the second round encounter 2-0 at the halfway mark. AS Saint-Étienne return to European action after a four-year absence and must negotiate FC Shakhtyor Soligorsk or FC Milsami Orhei to reach the play-off round.
Elsewhere, Vitesse of the Netherlands travel for their first leg to FC Petrolul Ploieşti or Víkingur, while Trabzonspor AŞ will meet FC Dinamo Minsk or NK Lokomotiva Zagreb if they get past Derry City FC, to repeat last year's play-off appearance.
The third qualifying round takes place over two legs on successive Thursdays, 1 and 8 August. The sides that progress will enter the draw for the play-offs on Friday 9 August. Also in the hat will be 18 teams joining the competition at that later stage, including Tottenham Hotspur FC, ACF Fiorentina and Feyenoord.

Police are scared of citizens with cell phones that have video capability. Citizens can record what the police do. This woman claims that she was beaten by three police officers. The police took her cell phone and removed the card.
This made it into the local newspaper and onto local TV.
The police are saying nothing. They are hoping this will blow over. I don't think it will. A lot of people own cell phones. They will notice.
Here is the description of her condition: bruised face, bruised arm, bruised lips
Lewis' husband, Sebastian Prevot, was taken into custody Friday morning and charged with resisting arrest. Houston police declined to comment on his case and said the incident report would not be available until Monday.
On the phone, Prevot said he did not stop far enough behind a stop sign. Prevot said he was pulled over then beaten in front of his northeast Houston home. Lewis, who was inside, came out armed with her cell phone. She said she recorded video until officers took her memory card.
Local activists are filing a formal complaint.
You would think that police departments would stop this sort of thing. At some point, cell phones and cameras will be so cheap that families have two of them: "One for show, and one for YouTube."
We are still a free society. The nooses are tightening, but we can still fight back. The tools of this battle are getting cheaper. At the local level, we still have the ability to resist. But, for now, be prepared to be beaten up and the video card removed by force.

Disregard this and see the more recent update!
The club committee has been following the international situation and while we have decided against a complete closure at this time due to the relatively small number of attendees, we have decided to announce the below precautions. These will be relayed in person as a reminder at each club meet for the foreseeable future. Wash hands on arrival and departure, and between games. No skin contact (such as handshakes before/after games). Keep physically distant from each other. Don't come in if you're at all ill (even if it's not Covid-19 symptoms). Remember that it's a building that has a lot of people from different groups passing through it, so it's a relatively high-risk location compared to the size of the groups meeting there.

DLK's pico-second laser treatment is an effective and safe therapeutic device for the treatment and removal of pigmented lesions such as age spots, freckles, and some birthmarks.
The pico-second laser emits a beam of light at a specific wavelength that is absorbed by colored pigments in the skin, including melanin. The laser selectively destroys pigment without damaging the surrounding tissue or outer layer of the skin.
The pico-second laser treatment takes place in a medically supervised clinic after a consultation session. At the time of the appointment, the area is cleansed. During the treatment protective goggles are placed over the eyes and if desired, a local anesthetic is given to ensure a comfortable treatment. The laser hand piece glides over the surface of the skin as the laser targets the pigment.
The length of treatment time depends on the number of brown spots being treated. Many patients tolerate the treatment and report the sensation as feeling similar to numerous rubber band snaps. An anti-biotic ointment is applied following the treatment to keep the area moist and then it is covered with a protective dressing.
Results vary from patient to patient. Brown spots may completely disappear after the first treatment.
To schedule your treatment or consultation please call 416-440-2597.

CONGRATULATIONS to all our parish school students who successfully completed the school year of 2012-2013!

From the 9th to the 16th June 2015, Archpriest Michael Taratuchin and Tamara Kallaur-DeBernardis travelled to St. Petersburg, Russia, as official participants and representatives of both our parish and Memorial Fund in the celebrations of the 25th Anniversary of the Glorification of our St. John of Kronstadt in Russia. Back in November of 2014, we had just celebrated the 50th Anniversary of St. John's Glorification by our Russian Orthodox Church Abroad. The President of our Memorial Fund, His Grace, Bishop Peter of Cleveland, also participated in the celebrations held in St. Petersburg, Kronstadt and Sura, home village of St. John in the Arkhangelsk region, along with seven priests and two deacons of our Russian Church Abroad, joining over 220 clergy from Russia and other countries. Over 22 countries with churches, monasteries and organizations of St. John of Kronstadt were represented with a total of almost 500 participants, culminating with a patriarchal divine liturgy celebrated in Sura led by His Holiness, our Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia on Sunday 14th June 2015. Among the concelebrants with the Patriarch were Bishop Peter of Cleveland, Mitred-Archpriest Michael Protopopov from Australia, Mitred-Achpriest Alexander Belya, Dean of the New York City Deanery and Protodeacon John Barbus from Australia. Below are some photographs of the events held in St. Petersburg, Kronstadt and Sura.

Mitred-Archpriest Nikolai Belyaev, senior priest of the St. John of Rila Convent on Karpovka in St. Petersburg, and chief organizer of this celebration, and chairman of the Sv. Ioannovskaya Semya, and to all their members for the limitless love, kindness, endless hospitality and gifts which they extended to all of us. May God bless them always and grant them many years!

Mr. Speaker, hiding small sentences that weaken Quebec in mammoth bills is becoming the Liberal government's specialty.
Paragraph 5(4)(d) of the part of Bill C-44 on the infrastructure bank says that the government can order that the bank be an agent of the crown.
Why give a private investment fund the power to circumvent provincial and municipal laws? Are wealthy Bay Street investors more important to this government than Quebeckers?

In the UK alone there are thousands of independent breweries creating craft beers. Plus a plethora of whiskey and rum distilleries hidden away in the highlands producing rare spirits that might never whet your palette unless you actively seek them out.
Your local pub won't stock much beyond the standard fare from the big breweries, and choosing new drinks to try from the supermarket shelves is pot luck that often ends in disappointment.
Alcohol subscription boxes are a convenient and fun way to try out a bevy of brews and find a new favourite to tickle your taste buds.
Having home deliveries of hand-picked alcohol is also an inexpensive way of indulging in rare ales and wines while learning the nuances of what makes a great tipple.
In this article we'd like to share with you the best subscription boxes and clubs for alcohol aficionados in the UK, from beers and spirits to creative cocktails.
Best alcohol subscription boxes in the UK
- The Alcohol Discovery Bundle
- BeerBods Beer Club
- Best of British Beer
- Hoppily Craft Beer Club
- Savage Vines 3 Bottle Monthly Wine Subscription
- The Wine List
- Batch Innovations Spirit Club
- Master of Malt Dram Club
- Flaviar Spirit Tasting Club
- Microbarbox Monthly Cocktail Club
- Princess Prosecco Cocktail Box
The Alcohol Discovery Bundle
Best booze variety bundle
The Alcohol Discovery Bundle is a splendid booze cruise for adventurers thirsty for all kinds of spirits, ales, craft beers and do-it-yourself cocktails. Unlike the other alcohol subscriptions listed here that supply you with specific types of alcohol, this subscription box is a lucky dip of five of the best alternative alcoholic drinks in class plus two snacks. You might get a sparkling spritz squeezed in with a pale ale brewed with organic hops from a mountain spring with a bar of dark chocolate sandwiched between. You won't have to wait long for your discovery bundle, which will arrive at your door within two working days of placing your order. Tucked inside you'll also get a free surprise gift. Can't say fairer than that, Guv! This box is available directly from The Box Hut. Give it a go and give your taste buds a thrill.
BeerBods Weekly Beer Tasting
Best beer club subscription
BeerBods get our appreciation as the year's 'best beer club subscription' for their inspiring efforts to foster widespread appreciation of beers from around the world.
Their weekly online beer tasting sessions are joined by their more than 7,500 members to sample the same beer together each week and hear the story behind the hand-picked brew.
The BeerBods boxes of 8 cans and bottles are delivered to subscribers every two months so you'll have to exercise some disciplined drinking to join the live tasting sessions held every Thursday night with the week's featured beer in hand.
The beer box is quite a bargain, too, working out at about £3 a beer. Join any time and you'll get the next 8 beers delivered within a few days.
Best of British Beer
Best British beer variety subscription
Britain boasts more than 2,000 breweries with more than half of them popping up over the past decade, providing beer lovers with an almost endless supply of craft beers from every nook and cranny in the country.
You'll get a crate of 12 different full-size bottles of beer each month. You can customize your subscription to suit your taste and pre-order the craft beers for 3, 6 and 12 months at a time.
Hoppily – Craft Beer Club
Best craft beer & snacks subscription
UK-based beer supplier Hoppily makes it on our list for the 'best craft beer & snacks subscription' for supplying a vast range of beers from independent British breweries along with selected artisan snacks to complement the experience.
Subscribe for 3, 6 and 12 months at a time to discover 8 or 10 craft beers delivered to your door every month. Hoppily aims to surprise subscribers with rare beers you might never have heard of. They also include trump cards of details about the beers and regularly slip in beer lover collectibles too.
Savage Vines 3 Bottle Monthly Wine Subscription
Best wine lovers subscription box
There are few wine subscription boxes which give you as much variety in a single month as the hand-picked bottles of plonk put together by Savage Vines, who receive our vote for the 'best wine lovers subscription box'.
Each month's supply of reds, whites and rosé delivered to your door takes you on a jolly jaunt of discovery to experience 3 different wines from small, independent family run vineyards around the world.
The wines are accompanied by tasting notes plus a podcast discussing each wine and recommendations for fantastic food pairing.
If you are a real wine aficionado then this wine subscription is a wonderful way to directly support independent vineyards and small family businesses while fueling a passion for fine food and wine combinations.
The Wine List
Best wine connoisseur subscription
We've given The Wine List our vote for the 'best wine connoisseur subscription' as a fun and inexpensive way to gain confidence and hone your senses as a wine connoisseur.
Each month subscribers receive two new bottles of wine hand picked from small and independent vineyards. You'll learn the basics of wine tasting with a 12-part course, which includes interactive tasting cards teaching you how to identify aromas, improve your senses and understand grape varieties.
Batch Innovations Spirit Club
Best branded spirit blends
The exclusive gin, rum and botanical blends in the monthly subscription boxes from Batch Innovations gets our all-round approval for the 'best branded spirit blends'.
The 700ml handcrafted bottles filled with fruity gins and sweet rums are enticingly wrapped in eye-catching artwork, which subscribers can download as a digital copy, too. Among the exotic flavour combinations we found that the pear & blackberry gin went down exceedingly smoothly.
The longer you subscribe, the bigger the savings you make. Go for a 12-month subscription and you'll save £70!
Master of Malt Dram Club
Best spirit tasting subscription club
With more than 5,500 individual drams exclusively available to Master of Malt Dram Club members, you'll never run dry of whiskies, gins and rums to sample and help you discover your all-time favourite spirit.
Master of Malt wins our 'best spirit tasting subscription club' listing for two reasons. Firstly for their vast range of 30ml spirits – five of which are delivered to you each month – and secondly for the extras they include with subscriptions for spirit aficionados such as crystal tasting glasses and free edibles with 3, 6 and 12-month subscriptions.
Flaviar Spirit Tasting Club
Best spirit variety subscription box
The award-winning themed subscription boxes from Flaviar Spirit Tasting Club offers the broadest selection of spirits that we've found so we've voted them the 'best spirit variety subscription box'.
Each monthly box contains three 50ml samples of rare and original spirits such as scotch, bourbon & rye, whiskey, rum, gin, brandy & cognac, tequila & mescal from all over the world.
Subscribers also receive personalized samples and complimentary bottles from time to time plus invitations to events and booze-themed entertainment.
Microbarbox Monthly Cocktail Club
Best DIY cocktail subscription box
Each month you get a collectible micro bar in a themed box which doubles as a display case containing either rum, gin, tequila or Jack Daniel's complete with artisan mixers.
The 8 to 14 units of alcohol in each box are enough to invite a few friends around for a round of cocktails expertly made by you with the help of the recipe cards included in each box, making this a well-deserved winner of our 'best DIY cocktail subscription box' award for the year.
Princess Prosecco Cocktail Box
Best sparkling wine subscription box
We really like this creative twist on Prosecco as a personalized pampering experience so it gets a special mention as the 'best sparkling wine subscription box'.
A lot of thought goes into the monthly subscription boxes from Princess Prosecco. The contents of each month's box are based on the birthstone colour for that month.
You can choose a full-size bottle of either classic or premium (organic and vegan friendly) Prosecco in your subscription box. You'll also get a surprise miniature (50ml) spirit bottle and collectable recipe card so you can mix two of your own cocktails plus a couple of surprise snacks to go with your bubbly.
Alcohol subscription boxes: The verdict
There is no single alcohol subscription box listed here that's better than all the rest but we would like to give kudos to the suppliers in each category that stand out for providing subscribers with quality service and a unique tasting experience.
The best beer subscription is BeerBods for being seriously fun about beer appreciation.
For wine subscriptions, the best is Savage Wines is the winner for unrivalled variety.
As for spirits subscription boxes, you get larger samples (50ml) with Flaviar Spirit Tasting Club than you do with Master of Malt Dram Club (30ml), but with Batch Innovations Spirit Club you get much more (700ml bottles), and you save more money, too.
Microbarbox is our winner in the cocktail subscription category for giving you everything you need for an impromptu cocktail party, where you play the role of mixologist.
Even if you're not a drinker yourself, a box of booze is always a great gift for a special occasion.

Consider us your real estate marketing concierge. We're here to provide you with the extra resources to help take your real estate career to the next level. From custom website solutions to seasonal marketing postcards, our team of designers and marketing experts will pick up where your brokerage falls short. We understand that every agents' situation is different, so we adapt to meet your needs and develop a custom-tailored path towards providing you the tools to succeed.
Like most things in life, you get what you pay for. We go above and beyond to provide an honest, thorough assessment of your business and evaluate where we can help. Whether we're designing your real estate team's new website or creating a property brochure for a luxury condominium, our goal is to make sure we provide you with the tools and knowledge that will pay for itself.
The first step is to contact us and schedule a free, no-obligation consultation to help assess your current needs and to see if we're a good fit. Our services are either offered individually (a list of things we can do for you is available here) or bundled together as what we like to call Campaigns. We've developed a handful of popular Campaigns to fit any budget but are more than open to developing your own package that suits your needs individually. From social media management to website content creation, we can get it done for you!
To be a successful real estate agent, there are no shortcuts.
It's no secret that there's a direct correlation between work ethic and success. Yet everyday, we see agents being offered the "next big thing" in hopes of giving themselves the edge over the competition. Yes, there are some incredibly amazing service providers out there (we use AND recommend a lot of tools to our clients – we're not here in reinvent the wheel) but we can make sure you're doing everything you can to maximize the effectiveness of those tools available to you. To put it simply: today's market requires more than just throwing money at automated programs to stand out. We'll make sense of all the noise out there and recommend a course of action that works for you.
Love it or hate it, social media isn't going anywhere. Automated solutions only get you so far. Our social media Campaigns provide you with a path towards producing sustained engagement with your network and getting more leads.
Today's buyers don't respond to unimaginative, uninteresting advertisements. We produce, write, and design compelling content to get you and your listings more exposure.
Real estate website design is our thing. We love creating custom-tailored solutions for agents and teams looking to take their brand to the next level. But hey, we also know having a full-fledged, custom site might be an overkill for some agents. Our Digital Gameplanning Campaign can go over all the options available and find the solution that's right for you.
Advertising online is an incredibly powerful opportunity. The way we are able to target various buyer demographics is almost frightening (in a good way!) But here's the thing: Most agents aren't adequately prepared to capture leads in any meaningful way. We analyze your situation and give you the tools to get the most value.
Making sure you can be found online is one of the most important steps your business can take to increasing leads and generating more business. We go above and beyond to make sure you put your best foot forward.
Every market is different. We analyze your situation and give you our honest assessment of what you're doing right, and areas that can be improved upon. From the way you approach listing presentations to designing Just Sold postcards, our Gameplanning Campaign will change the way you treat marketing.

Effective. Professional. Affordable. I'd recommend W+W to anyone looking to take their real estate career to the next level. They do amazing work!
Unbelievable. I simply can not express how amazing W+W is. Their creativity and ideas are beyond this world.
The website Warhol + West made for me is simply incredible. Total gamechanger.
We've worked with hundreds of agents and are proud to provide a service that provides them with tangible results. Whether we develop your brand from the ground-up or if you simply need us to design a single marketing piece, we take pride in making sure we provide you with the something that will set you up to succeed. But don't take our word for it!

Cataract Eye Surgery during 2011-2013 we visited in one year 684 villages. All villages were visited 2 times. In 566 villages more than one person has been helped with restoration of vision by Cataract Eye Surgery.
118 villages are new and in the adjoining area to Muniguda. We have had 5% of new cataract blind persons coming from this area in 2009 to 2011.There is a very good system working. We have organized a 'central village. One Volunteer 'contact' is responsible to visit between 30 and 40 villages each year. The 'contacts' have all received Eye Care Training by New Hope and are able to offer low cost medical care or medications. They must also be in their village on the 3 nights of the full moon. In these nights many people walk along forest oaths to visit other villages. In our 'central' village this means that many of the people who need eye care or have family members with eye problems now come to 'central village' contacts of New Hope India. If the person is cataract blind their name is registered and sent on a Postcard to New Hope India.
If any person or child has an eye injury of any kind they come with the volunteer 'contact person to New Hope. It is a system that ensures new persons are contacted and those who had single eye surgery are checked. It also means that all children have their eyes checked for Vitamin A deficiency.
Cataract Eye Surgery
New Hope Rural Leprosy Trust is still the senior Non Government Organization on the Government District Blindness Eradication Board (Committee). The committee encourages and supervises and monitors Primary Health Care Clinics to ensure that people know about eye care. We reach out to schools with Eye Care messages including prevention of Night Blindness. New Hope has taken its own area and ensures that all schools in our area have information. The Chief District Medical Officer also recognizes the difficulty for the District Hospital to carryout non risk eye surgery. We have the support of the Doctor in charge. New Hope is still the only recognized Hospital for Cataract Eye Surgery. Through our contact system with Government Primary Health Care Centre we had patients referred to us by the Head Nurses of the Centres and from the Doctors who work in the smaller Hospitals in the District.
VITAMIN A DEFICIENCY – BLINDNESS – Only three children were referred to us for Night Blindness and they came from the adjoining District where poverty and poor food diet is like our own Tribal village area.
In the area where we work directly and covering a population of 346,582 we believe that the Vitamin A deficiency has been eliminated at 94>97%. Our prevention of Vitamin A deficiency is helped over the years Vitamin A tablets.
We are again very happy with the Teacher co-operation in the School Education project that promoted Eye knowledge and Eye care. We gave students upper primary school classes in the District GREEN LEAF VEGETABLE SEED PACKS. The overall participation with the students was really positive.
It is very true to say that we have changed the level of vision among the Tribal poor. The aged leprosy patients have the best eye care possible in all of the colonies where we work. We are offering visually affected HIV+ children quality Care.
Blindness for anyone anywhere across the world is a day to day traumatic experience and challenge. The fear of falling over, hitting into something, not being able to find something important – like your food! – Not able to work; are all part of the blindness life.
In a leprosy colony it often, too often, simply means not being able to go out and beg. Begging is the survive work of many leprosy patients. (Caring for aged leprosy patients through cataract surgery and Love Bundles changes their life).
In a rural Tribal village where the majority live at poverty level as indicated by low birth weights of children and under 5 child weights; every one works at some level to be part of the survival situation. Elder people, especially women care for small children while parents are in the forest collecting food, foraging for firewood that can be sold in the local market. Many aged, with family children tend goat herds of people in adjoining villages from different caste who have incomes and land. Aged also are usually responsible for the collection of firewood for the family cooking. Cataract blindness robs them of these responsibilities. It turns them into social and economical burdens.
Cataract eye surgery changes the whole scenario. Because of the tough conditions of living in a tribal hill forest village we usually gives aged widows a months food supply when they go back after the surgery. It takes pressure off them while recovering.

The usual fast food franchises do business on the outskirts of town. But in the heart of the business district, you'll find the flavor and spirit of the midway.
The big names in fast food are miles away from Brightleaf Boulevard. This is the land of the flying chicken leg, big boasts and low overhead.
Three of the hottest fast food joints in town have several things in common: long lines, good help and a woman's touch. They all read from the same recipe for success.
"Well the customer's number one," says restaurant owner Denise Hill. "And a lot of dedication and a lot of time and your whole heart."
"It's just good old down-to-earth home cooking and good friendly people," says Millie Hockaday, owner of Millie's Hut.
"Oh the price," says restaurant owner Sathian Lockamy. "And the food and the good service, I believe."
This is the kind of food you associate with the midway at the State Fair.
"We have good old country ham biscuits with red eye gravy, chitlins, all that good stuff," boasts Hockaday.
Prices here are lower than on the midway. Best of all, these windows are open all year long.

Crazy Rich Asians Expected to Rule Weekend Box office: First Asian-led studio film after 25 yearsNaveen Kumar (Author) Published Date : Aug 16, 2018 12:44 IST
After The Joy Luck Club being an Asian-led studio film released in 600 theatres, 25 years ago the Asian led film Crazy Rich Asians distributed by Warner Bros is releasing in around 3,300 locations this weekend and is expecting a big bang opening weekend starting from the midweek Wednesday release.
The Rom-Com film based on a novel of the same name received hugely positive reviews and continuing to win the hearts of the viewers. The film is getting rave reviews for its more than a usual treatment for a rom-com genre. Warner Bros are expecting a $29M for the 5-day opening weekend looking at early estimates, while the buzz around film will make the film exceed the box office expectations.
Going by the talk of the town about the film, it is anticipated to get a $35M weekend to top the weekend US box office. Released only in the US, the movie is yet to release in foreign markets with positive talks around the film. The movie is directed by Jon M. Chu and stars Constance Wu, Gemma Chan and Lisa Lu in the lead roles.

Russian warplanes have destroyed a surface-to-air missile launcher that ISIS captured from the Syrian Army. Terrorist fighters appear abandon their positions and pull back.
The Russain airtsrikes campaign in Syria is forcing the terrorists to flee, the Russian Ministry of Defence reproted.
Sukhoi Su-34 bomber destroyed the 9K33 Osa short-range air defense launcher in Eastern Douma near Damascus, Russian military psokesman Igor Konashenkov told the media in his Thursday daily briefing. KAB-500 bomb was used to destroy a concrete shelter, where the launcher was hidden, destroying both the weapon and the building.
9K33 Osa is a highly-mobile launcher equipped with six short-range surface-to-air missiles meant to provide tactical cover from enemy aircraft to ground troops.
A total of 32 targets in the provinces Idlib, Hama, Damascus, Aleppo and Deir Ezzur were hit by the Russian Air Force.
Igor Konashenkov noted that terrorists appear to be abandoning their positions and are pulling back:
"The militants are retreating, trying to establish new positioning areas and changing their supply system."

In April 2007, the Federal Communications Commission and the nation's four largest radio station group owners – Clear Channel, CBS Radio, Citadel and Entercom – signed a voluntary agreement as a response to collected evidence and widespread allegations about payola influencing what gets played on the radio. It has been two years since the FCC, radio station group owners and independent labels met around the table. The immediate questions for the music and policymaking community are: Did these agreements serve their purpose? Have payola-like practices been curtailed? Did the agreements have any effect on what gets played on the radio? read more
WASHINGTON, D.C.– Artist education, research and advocacy organization Future of Music Coalition (FMC) announces the release of a new report that analyzes New York State radio playlists to determine whether the policy interventions resulting from 2003-2007 payola investigations have had any effect on the amount of independent music played on terrestrial radio. read more

This video comes via a Treehugger piece on the Smithsonian's new human origins gallery. That's the new David H Koch Hall of Human Origins, as in "coal empire billionaire" David Koch who sponsored the gallery. The complaint made by Treehugger, Joseph Romm (the guy in the video) and some others being, simply, that this gallery's depiction of human evolution is being used to peddle some rather unscientific ideas about climate change. Specifically, how much the climate has changed since the industrial revolution, and the ways humans have/might adapt to such change. To get an idea of their argument, just watch the video of Dr Romm at the exhibition.
Last week I blogged about Shell's sponsorship of a climate change gallery at the London Science Museum, so thought it was worth flagging up this controversy from over the pond too. I don't pretend to know nearly as much about the Smithsonian. Still, whether Treehugger et at are being fair or not, the controversy is interesting in itself. Googling from a desk in South London (e.g. see also write up in USA today, and the review and curator Q&A in the Washington post) it does look scarily as if the Smithsonian have managed to avoid having to even pay lip-service to Intelligent Design, only to have their story of evolution hijacked to relay a rather marginal approach to climate change science. It was also interesting to find this Washington Post story, from 2007, suggesting the Smithsonian had previously toned down an exhibition on climate change, fearing anger from Bush administration.
Whilst on the topic, I think it's also worth flagging up this report in Nature on the rise in philanthropically-funded climate change work. They refer to a range of activities, including supporting academic research. Whether you prefer your climate science and climate science communication funded by charities or by the tax payer (and so, we might hope, also accountable to the tax payers) is an important question, one that probably reflects your own personal politics. Like many members of the British science community, I'm thankful for the existence of the Wellcome Trust but I'm also very thankful that the Wellcome Trust happens to be quite so awesome (for "awesome" read "run largely by people who happen to agree with me").
The Nature news piece and Smithsonian controversy might seem very American concerns, but as the bulk of state-sponsored science communication in the UK goes into pre-election purdah, they are matters for us Brits to mull over too. As Christine Ottery has just blogged in terms of investigative science journalism "Heigh-ho: here's to the future, here's to new funding models". If we don't want people like Shell or Koch or the government bankrolling such work, who do we want to pay for it? Who will we trust, why, and how are we going to make this work?
Thanks to Scott Keir for the tip-off on this story.

The Patriots are expected to crush the Texans in the AFC divisional playoffs, according to the oddsmakers.
Via ESPN: But the Rooney Rule addresses that and forces people to open up and be transparent when it comes to hiring. I think its produced a big change in the mindset of a lot of businesses. Other sports leagues not just in the U.S. have adopted the concepts. Some did it before Cheap Hockey Practice Jerseys the NFL.
I think it still needs attention and work but progress is being made. As George Young used to say, Its about finding talent. It's not giving the lazy person the opportunity that he doesnt deserve.
The Patriots opened as 14.5-point favorites against the Houston Texans in Saturday's AFC divisional playoff game at Gillette Stadium.
The line quickly grew to New England -16 shortly after being posted Sunday afternoon at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, making it one of the four largest playoff point spreads in the past 40 seasons.
New England being favored by more than two touchdowns against Houston in a playoff game is crazy, but considering the matchup, understandable.
Looking past this individual game, the Patriots are the favored team to win the Super Bowl, while the Texans have the worst odds.
Falcons receiver Mohamed Sanu is a Muslim and the child of refugees from Sierra Leone. He knew he'd be asked about the travel ban from Muslim countries imposed by President Donald Trump, but would not answer questions about it.

Caring for an old property requires a little extra thought, but home maintenance doesn't have to be hard work. However, certain jobs should be undertaken annually or bi-annually to prevent damage to your home, and will prove far less costly than having to remedy serious problems that will occur if the property is not maintained. Regularly running home maintenance checks will also mean that you will spot issues early, and there will be less of a chance of problems developing.
Use our home maintenance checklist to make sure your home is properly maintained and cared for, whatever the season. Or, read our complete guide to renovating a house to tackle bigger issues.
Spring home maintenance jobs
Spring is prime time for home maintenance jobs that may be the result of winter storm damage. The weather also lends itself to work outside, being dry and warm enough to paint and make repairs with things like mortar that will not cure under a certain temperature.
Try and start as early in spring as possible before birds start nesting so as not to disturb their new homes.
External maintenance
Internal maintenance
Summer home maintenance jobs
Longer days and more consistent weather mean summer is going to give you the best chance to get jobs done in daylight. This is not only useful for exterior home maintenance, but internal jobs like painting and decorating which is best done in natural light so you can see what you are doing and how it will look.
External maintenance
Internal maintenance
Autumn home maintenance jobs
Now is the time to proof your home for winter. It is last chance to fix any cracks or damaged paintwork so that penetrating water does not freeze and increase the damage.
Get your garden cleared too. Rake leaves from paths and decking to prevent algae build-up and check for any trees that could fall in high winds.
External maintenance
Internal maintenance
Winter home maintenance jobs
With limited daylight this is not the most practical season to take on large projects. However, you should still keep on top of little home maintenance jobs and take the time to fix any niggles inside the home.
Look out for issues that can be exacerbated by cold weather. Clad any pipes that might be subject to freezing temperatures and oil locks that are more prone to sticking when it is cold.

Ride On!
I was once told that the most efficient and reliable man-made tool was the bicycle chain. I rediscovered this great invention 6 years ago when I started grad school and needed to save money on gas, parking, time, etc. I say rediscovered because like most children I learned to ride a bike during my elementary school years and then gave it up once I turned 16 and was able to drive. Sure I took a "cheap big box" mountain bike occasionally out for a ride, but never for transportation and typically ending in some kind of mechanical or rider error that landed the bike in the garage or closet until my ambition was great enough to fix it for another ride.
My rebirth into cycling wasn't a glorious moment in my life either, but was definitely life altering. When starting grad school I again bought a "cheap big box" mountain bike (even though I was in Gainesville Florida=no mountains), and at the time I thought I was doing fine on my 2 mile commuter ride to school. I only questioned my abilities when I would be passed by a road bike like I was sitting parked and I was pedaling my hardest. Even though I didn't realize it until much later, the 3 years that I spent making my commuter trips taught me a great deal about cycling and fueled my desire for bicycle advocacy.
My full conversion into a cycling addict began when I gave myself a graduation present and upgraded my "beater" of a mountain bike, with a new Trek road bike. I was fortunate enough to get hired at a company in the downtown Orlando core, an apartment 2 miles from there, and was able to start commuting in style. I immediately noticed that my speed went from 12-15mph to 20+ and that the efficiency of the machine was incredible. This new rate of speed enticed my wife to give me a helmet that Christmas (I forgot to mention that I hadn't been wearing one for the previous 3.5 years, stupid and fortunate). Little did either of us know that in March of the next year I would collide with a truck at about 20mph, crush my helmet, lose my 2 front teeth, but still be alive.
After this baptismal experience into the conflict between motorized vehicles and bicycles, my journey into the cycling world was ready to begin. I sold my truck, got a new helmet and teeth, and made it my personal goal to bike everywhere within reason. Professionally (as a landscape architect), I also see opportunities for communities to better integrate pedestrians, cyclists and motorists.
I hope to share with you some of my experiences as an urban bike commuter, advocate for bike friendlier communities, and create a forum for sharing ideas.
Ride hard, ride safe, ride on!

It's time for investors to stop thinking in 'active versus passive' terms. The traditional approach to portfolio construction looks outdated. Investors should seek varied return sources in cost-efficient ways depending on their objectives and constraints.
Know what you're buying: Investors need to distinguish between alpha, broad-market and factor returns for two main reasons. First, the distinction is needed to allow investors to allocate to genuine alpha opportunities, both within and across asset classes (e.g. tactical asset allocation). Second, clarity on the sources of portfolio returns helps ensure investors stick to their strategic objectives, by allowing them to account fully for factor exposures across underlying portfolio building blocks.
See the full picture: "Active in X, passive in Y" is too simplistic. A blend based on investor objectives and constraints is preferable - there is no one-size-fits-all answer. Blending alpha-seeking managers with indexing and factor strategies should occur at a portfolio level rather than asset class by asset class – a holistic approach must be taken. Alpha-seeking strategies with higher expected alpha – net of fees – should not be ruled out where they also contribute meaningful market and factor exposures as these exposures can be accounted for.
Time is money: What matters are returns net of costs. Yet product fees vary widely by client and over time. Governance costs to find and monitor alpha-seeking managers can also be considerable. Many investors have limited resources for these activities. That's why investors have to ask themselves: Do I have the ability and research capability to oversee the selection of top performing alpha-seeking managers? Investors with a limited governance budget may opt to oversee just a few alpha-seeking managers – or even keep their entire portfolio in index products.
Our empirical work shows why it is important to have visibility into sources of return. We identify varying alpha opportunities across asset classes. We believe investors can be deceived by looking at active returns alone and need to uncover the factor exposures embedded in them. Investors can then decide whether to maintain the factor exposures or correct for them. Our work clarifies the returns being bought across the portfolio and maximises the efficiency of the risk budget – a priority in a low-return environment.

MTN Group said on Wednesday that U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to pull out of the Iran nuclear accord may limit the South African telecoms firm's ability to repatriate cash from MTN Irancell, sending its shares lower.

Trump said on Tuesday he would reimpose U.S. economic sanctions on Iran, which were lifted under the agreement he had harshly criticized.
In 2018, the company had repatriated about 88 million euros ($104.26 million) from MTN Irancell, including 61 million euros relating to the 2017 dividend due to MTN as well as a further 27 million euros of historic dividends.
The remaining balance due to MTN is about 200 million euros, MTN said, adding it was committed to its investment in Irancell and to repatriating the balance of legacy cash.
The company said it will continue to monitor the situation, including the response of the Iranian authorities and the othermembers of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
MTN's shares were down 2.6 percent at 0745 GMT after earlier falling over 3 percent.($1 = 0.8440 euros)

Samsung ships Snapdragon variant of its Galaxy flagships in only few select markets such as the U.S., China and Canada. Hence, its latest S-Series flagships – the Galaxy S9/S9+ powered by Qualcomm Mobile Platform are limited to few customers. Whereas, the Exynos variant is widely available all over the globe. This disparity is clearly visible on the unofficial development sector of the two variants. With the unofficial development for the former being sluggish, unlike the latter which has got an active and prosperous development community. Let's know how to flash TWRP Recovery on Galaxy S9/S9+ Snapdragon variant.

Private Sale from my own collection
You are buying an extremely rare 1970's Halcyon Days pill box depicting an exquisite otter – painted by the famed British wildlife artist Anne Upson. The miniature painting is brass ringed and sealed under glass. It is signed by the artist.
Only 50 of these boxes were ever produced by the company. I can guarantee that none has ever been offered for sale or auction anywhere in the world in the last 30+ years. I also know for a certainty, after communicating with the company, that the Halcyon firm don't have an example of this particular piece in their own museum in the UK.
Please do your own research to check my veracity on this subject. You will not find another anywhere. This is one of the very few examples of a Halcyon item that was made from wood.
This really is a rarity and would incredible find for any serious collector or investor in Halcyon art.

Drinking the World Cup | Mexico vs. Cameroon
Margaritas [Photo Credit & Copyright: Nick C. Bumstead]
The Mexico side of the cocktail equation seems easy, especially for their first game. It must be the margarita. Keep it simple and classic with 2 oz. tequila, 0.75 oz. Cointreau, 0.75 oz. fresh lime juice, 0.25 oz. of simple syrup or agave nectar, and a lime wheel for garnish.
Try mixing it up with a smokey mezcal like Vida from Del Maguey, Dry Orange Curacao instead of Cointreau. Here's another recipe.
The Cameroon side of the draw is a little tougher. The beer route might be a good call. Grab a crisp and light pilsner type ale, like their Satzenbrau. Cocoa is also produced in Cameroon, so perhaps a more creative idea would be a cocktail with crème de cacao. Perhaps the 20th Century by Jayson Wilde of Bourbon and Branch in San Francisco with 1.5 oz. gin, 0.75 oz. Lillet, 0.5 oz. creme de cacao, 0.75 oz. of fresh lemon juice and garnish with a lemon twist. It is warm outside after all and we don't want to go too heavy and chocolatey.

Sh. Mansour Leghaei
"No Room For Sorrow"
Symposium on World Cancer Day
Islamic Contribution
Sunday 4 February 2001
Great Hall of Sydney University
In the Name of God; the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
It is with great pleasure that I first and foremost express my gratitude to Prof. Alan Coates, Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Cancer Society for his sincere and endless work towards a cause much in need of the world's attention, and giving me the opportunity to participate.
I would like to call this gathering a 'Spiritual Symposium' with its ancient Greek meaning of 'drinking party' as I am going to share with you the taste of a Divine Wine which brings about an eternal intoxication and healing much stronger than any other worldly pain killer or intoxicant. And if in these few minutes given to me, I can just wet your appetite, then I believe I have offered my contribution.
This pure wine will hopefully open a new window of hope before sufferers, their family, friends and others who feel directly or indirectly affected.
Three Facts About Cancer
1) According to the Encyclopedia of Encarta "any of more than 100 diseases characterized by excessive, uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells, which invade and destroy other tissues, is named in medicine 'Cancer'".
2) The National Cancer Statistics Clearing House, within the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, reported a lifetime risk of one in three males and one in four females who were directly affected by cancer (AIHW 1999).
3) Scientists still don't completely understand the causes of cancer.
Cancer is a highly-charged word in our culture, because we link it so closely with death. The word strikes fear into our hearts and immediately turns life into turmoil.
Before pouring this Divine Wine, let me share with you the three main Islamic principles related to the topic.
The Main Islamic Principles
1) Monotheism
2) Meaningful Life
3) Conception of Death
1) Monotheistic conception means the realisation of the fact that the world is 'mono-axis' and 'mono-orbit'. This means that the world has come out of a wise will and that its system is founded on mercy and all that is good.
2) Meaningful Life aims at leading the existing things to a perfection befitting them. Nothing has been created in vain and without having any purpose. There is no chaos in cosmos. All the existing things of the world are harmonious and their evolution proceeds towards the same center. The fuel of this harmonious procedure is love, which is the direct fruit of Faith.
"He said to heaven and to earth; come both willingly or unwillingly, they both replied: We come in willing obedience." (41:11)
3) Conception of Death: Many think that talking openly about death is a sign of giving up the desire to live. Nothing could be further from the truth. Thinking and speaking about death simply reckons with a real responsibility and it can very well coexist with a struggle for life.
We all find in ourselves a desire or wish to live forever. Hence, death (after tax in some cases!) is treated as a disastrous end. As such we tend to see it, if at all, in the distant future. From the Islamic point of view man is created for eternity in hereafter and death is not annihilation rather it is a bridge from here to a more advanced stage of life. The example of here and hereafter is similar to the world of a womb for a foetus and the outer world. This world and the hereafter are but two interconnected stages like those of sowing and harvest, for one reaps what one sows.
How a faithful Muslim would cope with Cancer?!
Based on the above principles, for the one who has faith in God, when his specialist informs him of being diagnosed with a serious illness such as cancer, instead of blaming God of being unfair to him, and questioning God as to why it has happened to him, why me?!, he realises that behind the dark shadow of any disaster, lies mercy and hence, optimistically considers the following inspirations:
1) Mindful to the Soul: Cancer or any other disease makes him more mindful and aware of himself. The power of youth, health and wealth, though temporary, usually misleads us to forget about ourselves and our souls. When a severe illness such as cancer strikes us, only then do we realise how weak and needy we are. Illness would bridge the gap between our world of every day selves and our world of souls and give more meaning and awareness to the recognition of the real self. By then an inner voice calls us to an Omnipotent Power who is the Source of all happiness and joy, which results in God consciousness and His presence.
As a result, at night, when the effects of chemotherapy keep him awake, he considers that seemingly painful call as a private invitation to a secret and sacred whispering with God far away from the eyes of strangers.
2) Launch of an Ascension: Believing in a meaningful life, for a faithful man a disease, any disease, is a wake-up call, the more severe it is the more effective the call would be. He knows that pain and disease can launch him on a journey that could change his entire life. Thus, getting better is not all that he is expecting out of being ill, or else he has missed a lot.
3) More grateful to the blessings of life. An Arabic expression says: "The blessing is known when it is taken away". For a faithful man, cancer can enhance his appreciation of life. He realizes the fact that a call from one of his children, a hug from his wife, a thoughtful inquiry from a friend, and every leaf of a tree in his backyard and finally every moment of life that he has been receiving is a gift from the Merciful God and then he appreciates it more.
4) Death; a platform of eternity: Finally, if he finds that his cancer is fatal, he realizes the fact that firstly, cancer is only one out of more than a million ways of passing from this world to the next not the only one. And secondly, death is fearful if it means annihilation and total destruction. For a faithful man, death is but a platform to an eternal joy and happiness in Paradise and as such it does not strike him.
And to end my contribution in this Symposium I offer
Two Glasses: both to cure and to prevent Death!
All human's endeavor to fight for life, and intense growth of fear from death, is in its sense of annihilation. Here are two glasses of the Divine Wine for those who wish to be eternal. I will just describe them to you, but should you take a sip, then I assure you that you would confidently leave endostatin and angiostatin to the mice! (if you are familiar with the drugs)
1) Name yourself 'Good' and act accordingly, then you'll be eternal. Instead of being depressed by cancer, which results in isolation and lack of motivation, make sure every day you produce good for others. Regardless of how you'll be treated, you produce a smile on other's faces, you'll be happy. Remember! We enjoy happiness, when we create joy and happiness for others. This is the law of cause and effect.
2) Love God, He makes you eternal. Love is the music of life. Lovers have no fear of death nor do they have any room for sorrow. As Emily Bronte expressed in her last poem lovers in God have no cowardly soul (No coward soul is mine.) When you love God, you love His creation and creatures, then He makes you be loved forever. Love is beyond the reach of death. As Hafez, an Iranian Mystical poet of the 14th century says:
"Never dies he whose heart is living by love
Thus, our name is engraved eternally in the world."
Shakespeare and Hafez never die. Emily Bronte, though she physically left this world soon, never dies. Moses, Jesus and Mohammad (peace be upon them all) none of the Prophets ever die. For they joined the eternal ocean of Divine Love. They were satisfied by the eternal water of life; LOVE.
Love is a dispensary of medicine both to cure and to prevent.
Join them and you'll enjoy their company forever.
And at last but not least, a priceless message from the Abrahamic faiths as quoted in the Holy Quran:
"And the same did Abraham enjoin on his sons and Jacob; O my sons! Surely God has chosen for you faith, therefore die not unless you Submit yourselves to God." (2:132)
O Lord! Bestow your mercy and healing to all the patients of this world both physically and spiritually and in Thy presence, leave us with 'no room for sorrow'.

|Type of format
|Digital audio
|M4R - is a digital multimedia container format used to store audio in mono channel mode. For example, the Apple iPhone uses MPEG-4 audio files (with .m4r extension) for its ringtones. The length of the m4r ringtone should not exceed 40 seconds. M4R and M4A formats shares many similar features.
|MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 Audio Layer III, more commonly referred to as MP3, is an audio coding format for digital audio that uses lossy data compression. It is a common audio format for consumer audio streaming or storage and a de facto standard of digital audio compression for the transfer and playback of music on most digital audio players.
|Technical details
|Lossy compression is designed to reduce significantly the amount of data required to represent the audio recording and still sound like a faithful reproduction of the original uncompressed audio. For example, an MP3 file created using the setting of 128 kbit/s will result in a file about 1/11 the size of the CD file created from the original audio source.

Healthcare designed for you
Rory was built out of a passion for women's health, but also an understanding that for many women, the healthcare system feels broken. From painful periods to infertility, natural biological experiences are shrouded in mystery. Women are not getting the help they need. They don't feel comfortable asking questions about their bodies, and when they do, they often don't feel heard. That's not ok with us.
At Rory, we believe that everyone's concerns about their health are valid, and everyone deserves equal access to the treatment that allows them to live their best, healthiest, and fullest lives. Rory was built by a talented, powerful, group of women who led everything from product management to copywriting. We used our experiences, and the experiences of the women in our lives, to design the healthcare partner women we've always wished for.
Rory was created to open up a dialogue, and to give all women the education, tools, and support they need to be their own advocates in the healthcare system.

School Closures? Blame Politics, Not Parents!
The Problem Today
This week, the UK has experienced the worst cold spell it has seen in at least 5 years, which is to say, since London last saw the white stuff. Over 2,700 schools shut on Monday, with many remaining closed on Tuesday. The emergency services have put out warning after warning for people not to travel unless absolutely necessary, and yet there is a whole load of people who seem to think that this advice is for everyone other than them, and that schools have closed because this generation of teachers are soft, pathetic snowflakes who shut up shop and hide in a corner with a crushed avocado on toast and a soya decaff pumpkin spice latte when things get tough.
What actually happens, is that the police, fire service, and the Highways Agency, along with other public organisations too numerous to mention, have to undertake risk assessments for the safety of their staff and the public before they offer advice. They also work together to come up with as many contingencies as possible for all the different scenarios hazardous weather may cause. They don't want to see anyone get hurt, and they certainly don't want to be knocking on someones door to let them know that their loved one was hit by someone who refused to drive to the road conditions. It's less than two weeks until Christmas; no one wants to be mourning their friends or family, or sitting by their bedside, whispering that they'd happily give the dozens of presents they brought to charity, if their loved one would just recover.
Country In Crisis?
So Why Do Schools Shut?
The biggest argument that I hear, as a parent, is that schools never shut for snow when other people were kids. This is true; during the Big Freeze of 1962, schools didn't shut, the roads had snow ploughs clearing the way, and the eternally resilient British public simply got on with their lives a best as possible for the 62 days that snow covered the south. However, the issue is that people compare today's society to that of the 1960's during times like this, and appear shocked when it becomes apparent that things have changed.
Schools don't shut because the staff don't want to work (a common argument). Schools shut because teachers can't get in safely. You see, long gone are the days where the local village school was only for local people. When the teacher lived either in the village itself, or in the neighbouring one, and would walk to school. Most village teachers can't afford to live in the areas they teach, and so have to commute, often by car, but also by bus or bicycle. Bus services, no longer run by local councils, have been cut from rural areas (I have to walk 3 miles if I need to catch a bus) leaving the residents with no choice but to buy and run a car, and then rural roads are often the last to see the grit lorries, leaving many people unable to safely get to work. This isn't just he case for teachers, but for the support staff, too. The maintenance man, the receptionist, the teaching assistants, the dinner ladies, most of them have to commute in, and they all play a vital role in the running of the school. Then there are the children, who often have to catch the school bus or be driven into school because they live outside of the village (again, because their parents often can't afford to live in the village itself). If most of the teaching staff, support staff, or pupils can't get in, the school isn't going to be able to open.
But What About City Schools?
Transportation issues and unsafe roads is obviously a massive issue in rural areas, but what about city schools, where there is a better transport system and staff are able to afford to live closer to their place of work? Why do they shut?
The full answer is complex, but it all boils down to risk assessments.
Risk assessments for the roads in icy weather often result in the advice not to travel unless necessary, as do those for pavements, which get gritted less often than the roads.
Risk assessments for public transport will, on account of the advice given for roads, result in cancelled and reduced time tables, meaning that it's harder for people to get to their destinations.
Risk assessments for schools, because of the mounting transport issues, as well as slippery playgrounds, lack of staff (due to transport issues) and possible maintenance problems that arise from a lack of adequate funding for the building itself (burst water pipes and lack of heating and electricity are most often the culprits when it comes to issues with the building itself, although leaky roofs are becoming more common, as well) all add together to mean that it is safer for the school to remain closed.
Anywhere that has staff or public access will perform a risk assessment for adverse weather conditions, and each of these assessments has a knock on effect to the normal running of the country.
How Do Risk Assessments Shut Down Schools?
Every company needs to run risk assessments. This includes services like the police, fire service, ambulance, Highways Agency, TfL, train companies, bus companies, and schools. The reason they need to do this is because, back in the 90's, the Great British public got it into their heads that suing for everything from serious injury from a falling piano to a bruised ego from tripping over a loose paving slab was a god idea. Sorry to burst your bubble, Generation X, but that one is on you. The result of the litigation culture was the rise of the risk assessment. As long as a risk assessment is completed and filled out, a company has proof that they saw any hazards and made an action plan to reduce the risk. If the action plan was carried out, well done! You're less likely to be successfully sued if something goes wrong, or. at least, be bankrupted by the payout. Because of this, people are suing over the smallest of things, and we have developed into a Nanny State, where good ol' common sense is getting rarer by the day, and people are worried about doing things without the say-so and approval of an authority figure, because it might be the wrong thing to do.
So every organisation in the country does a risk assessment at the first sign of snow. They take into account everyone who needs to get to work miles away, they take into account the people who don't give themselves additional time for the road conditions because it's 'just a bit of snow' and 'the only reason everyone else has an issue is because they can't drive'. They take into account the fact that people will try to make their journey, but their car will get stuck and they'll have to abandon it, causing a hazard for other road users. They take into account the fact that the gritters can't be everywhere at once, and that some roads, roads less travelled, simply aren't a priority for the gritting teams. They take into account that people will try to walk, but the pavements are rarely treated, and so there will be people that slip and injure themselves. They take into account that, along with all of the abandoned cars and understaffed businesses, there will be a lot of opportunist crime to deal with.
Once all of these risks are assessed, they make a decision, and that decision is often to advise people not to travel, not to go to work, and to close the schools. It's just safer all round, and it means that the school can't be sued for injuries that children sustain during snow days, because they're the responsibility of their parent or carer.
So, Does This Mean We ARE Raising A Generation Of Snowflakes?
Not really. Not on purpose, at least.
What we are, hopefully, doing is raising a generation of young people that will take stock of official advice when it's given, who will weigh up their options and make a suitable, well-thought-out decision. We're raising the children of the recession, children who know that most households need two incomes to survive, but that bill will mount up faster if they're in hospital and unable to work because they behaved ignorantly and tried to race to work in adverse conditions. I hope that we're raising children who will have common sense, because it was forced upon them, as well as their parents, while they were growing up.
We have to remember that, just because things aren't the way they used to be, doesn't mean that the changes are bad. Life is different, and people are more likely to need to travel for work and school. We have a larger population now, but the level of infrastructure hasn't kept up, and so people have to travel further. Yes, there are people that make excuses, but that has been true of every generation, or have people forgotten the men who tried to get out of National Service for minor or made up ailments during both World Wars? These people were the exception then, not the rule, and that is also true now. Most teachers want to teach (honestly, they don't do it for the money, because the money is awful), and most people want to be in work. If you ask the kids, most of them would prefer to be in school, too. Being at home is boring, especially when going out and doing anything other than playing in the snow (which gets boring as soon as your fingers turn blue) is nearly impossible because the country has shut down. After a day or two of this, kids would prefer to be at school with their friends.

Interesting Hub!
It seems the states have similar practices when it comes to weather-based shut downs. I think you summed it up very well. I liked how candid you were in this piece lol. I found myself giggling a few times though the subject matter isn't funny at all. Keep writing!
