In its continuing quest to understand more about who we are by exploring where we came from and how we got here, the Time and Tide Theatre Group has assembled an all-Dorset company for its latest revue, Words Take Wing, which premieres at Eastington Manor in Worth Matravers as part of Purbeck Art Weeks.
Drawing on the 'Facts' notebooks of Thomas Hardy in which he jotted down stories gleaned from archive copies of the Dorset County Chronicle, the piece relates the original stories and reveals how Hardy incorporated them into his published works with readings and dramatised extracts. The circle is closed on each section with examples of the folk songs collected by Henry and Robert Hammond on their bicycle journeys through Dorset between 1905 and 1907.
'It's very much a folk approach,' says singer-songwriter and former teacher Sophia Wright, who has written and co-ordinated Words Take Wing, the latest in a series of folk-dramas in which she has been involved that includes Tolpuddle Man, King's Shilling, Two Nations, Who's Afear'd and Salt Upon the Shore.
'Hardy was very much a people person, he loved people, so it was perfectly natural that he should seek out real people's stories and work them into his stories and poems.'
The stories cover the gamut of human behaviour, although are generally uplifting. In one, a commercial traveller returns home unexpectedly and goes to bed. His wife then says she is having spasms and sends him out for brandy. He pays for it with what he supposes to be a shilling but is given change for a sovereign and finds he has 14 more in his pocket instead of the shillings he thought he had. He deduces he has another man's trousers on and rushes home, only to find his own breeches have gone.
'In Words take Wing we follow that with the song, "The tailor's breeches" from the Hammond Collection, in which a tailor is "stitched up" by a girl and relieved of both his clothes and his money when he tells her of his wish to dance in her petticoats!'
The company includes Phil Williams speaking the words of Thomas Hardy from the 'Facts' notebook with further narration from Mike Cawson, Anne Brown, Viviane Horne and Martin Stephen, the National Trust's visitor services manager for Hardy Country. Classically trained but steeped in folk traditions, harpist Sarah Deere-Jones will perform on a restored period instrument with Robin Plowman (melodeon, concertina, vocals), Paul O'Shea (fiddle) and Richard Wirdnam (accordion, vocals). Young dancer Ella Nicoli-Horne will also sing.
Traces of stories from the 'Facts' notebooks can be found in some of Hardy's best-known novels including The Mayor of Casterbridge, The Woodlanders, Tess of the d'Urbervilles and Jude the Obscure – rich sources for Words Take Wing, although from the party at Tranter Dewy's cottage in Under the Greenwood Tree, to the liquor-inflicted 'multiplying eye' of Joseph Poorgrass in Far from the Madding Crowd, some of the extracts will be more familiar to some than others.
'Well, I've tried not to be too obvious,' says Sophia. 'It's important to know that this isn't a play although there is a script. It is very episodic and the performers have been largely left to find their own way through it. None of us are actors as such, but we are all involved to some extent in folk music and that is where we all meet. Everyone involved "gets" what we're trying to do and approaches the piece with that understanding. It's the only way it will work as there's no way I'm going to tell someone how to stand or where to move. There has to be a certain amount of interpretation – that's very much in the folk spirit.'
Researching the piece has taken Sophia on the kind of magical, meandering mooch into the past on which she thrives. Whether poring over the hard copy versions of the Hammond brothers' notations, panning Hardy's 'Facts', or delving into the County Chronicle while hiding from the cold in Dorset History Centre, she has come up with stories revealing the lives of people that are not so very different from our own. 'The world may change, but people don't really change and neither do the things that interest us,' she says, noting that the fruits of Hardy's searches of the Chronicle from 1826 to 1830 would not in essence be out of place under modern headlines. 'This is social history and what we're doing with Time and Tide is finding ways of keeping that connection with the past by trying to draw some attention to these valuable resources. If someone comes up and tells us they've enjoyed it, or would like to be part of it, or wants to find out more about the material, then we'll know we have done something right. The hope is that we can take it on to other performances.'
Fittingly, Words Take Wing has already been booked as part of this year's Swanage Folk Festival in September, where the Festival's line-up of international dance sides and traditional music artists will be reasonably familiar with the collection from which the songs have been drawn.
In the tradition of their more famous contemporaries, Cecil Sharp and Vaughan Williams, Henry and Robert Hammond collected some 600 songs on a series of trips through the lanes and byways of Edwardian Dorset. Many of those songs were already steeped in time and just as Hardy was able to reclaim a flavour of Dorset life in the early 19th century, so were the Hammonds responsible for preserving some voice of that past. They would listen for hours to singers such as Marina Russell from Upwey, Robert Barratt in Puddletown and William Bartlett in the Wimborne Union Workhouse.
'The Unions were good places for them to collect songs as the old folk there would have had little else to do,' says musician Robin Plowman. 'Unlike the collectors who came slightly later and actually recorded the songs on wax cylinders, the Hammonds have left a lot of room for interpretation and it's fascinating to see how they collected many of these songs in different versions.'
The Hammonds collected several versions of 'John Barleycorn', a staple of English folk song dating back at least to the 17th century, including the one that is featured in Words Take Wing, set to music from two other versions collected from Farmer William Miller of Wootton Fitzpaine and the music-only version from a D Legg of Oxbridge.
'It has got me in all sorts of trouble with so-called "proper" musicians,' says Robin, 'but for me it is far more important in folk music that the music should be adapted to fit the words so what we've done with 'John Barleycorn' is perfectly valid – the two tunes actually harmonise with each other. Just about!'
The genesis of Words Take Wing lies in a conversation Sophia had with Richard Brown of Purbeck Art Weeks in which it was suggested that there was a connection to be made between the songs Hardy knew and heard as a boy and wrote about and the songs collected by the Hammond brothers at the same time that Hardy was compiling his 'Facts' notebook.
By the early 20th century Dorset was fully feeling the impact of Victorian modernisation that would only ever gather in pace and scope up to our own time. Hardy's characters and stories, like those in the songs collected by the Hammonds, spoke of a comparatively recent past in which such change was much slower although life itself was perhaps less stable.
'The music programme for Purbeck Art Weeks is top drawer, but mostly it is quite formal and if there's a local connection, it's invariably that the performer is coming back here having made their mark elsewhere in the world,' says Sophia. 'Words Take Wing is bringing it back home; it's showing what is possible from the ground up.
'All of the company are Dorset people and we're a range of ages. As well as Phil and Sarah, both of whom have a following of people who know their music, I'm particularly pleased to have Ella, who will be dancing. Not only does it demonstrate the importance of dance in this, but she's only 16 and will be doing her GCSEs. It shows that this is for young people as well.'

I have spoken with John about his videos and he has taken them down to recreate and repost them back up. He did state he wanted to remove support for Ron Paul in a couple of his videos and also wanted to edit some others with new updated information. They should be up shortly. I can assure that John is doing fine.
Now Frank Weltner of Jewwatch.com "selling" his site on the other hand has become a strange event. I have received calls from many of his supporters questioning this 'sale' of his website and stating they don't believe he would have sold it in this fashion or at all. I have also received reports that when supporters of that site brought up this issue on the forums that there was censorship but I could not personally confirm any of this information because I have never had contact with Frank nor do I go on his forums.
It is good that people are paying attention to events like this because as most know there have been people who have 'disappeared' (aka kidnapped and/or killed) in this business of telling the story of these people.
The Prothink team however has been working hard on many projects that are very time consuming but will bear many fruits.
Take care everyone and keep spreading the information EVERYWHERE.

Comparing the memoirs of Joseph Merrick (the Elephant Man), the showman Tom Norman and the surgeon Sir Frederick Treves, it is apparent that each ascribed history with a different account of their associations. The showman's flamboyant language reveals how he established and operated his business while, significantly, his words aim to redress the balance and quantify a reputation sullied by Treves. Whatever their other achievements, Norman and Treves remain best known for their connection with Joseph Merrick - both put him on display - albeit on opposite sides of Whitechapel Road.

Hi there,
My name is Toby and this is me in a helicopter in Queenstown. That's
because I
played Disc Golf in the 2005 Queenstown Classic and won the Junior
Under 10
Division. I was stoked - even if I was the only entry, I reckon
I played real good.
My Dad is the man they call the Grand Master and he did real good
too. And then
there's my Mum - she did real good too. In fact we all did real
good and that's
why we all won a trip in a helicopter. I got to talk to Rusty the
pilot on the
intercom 'cos the chopper was real noisy. I thought you might like
to hear
about the choice time we all had at the Disc Golf, so I asked Dad
to write this story
for the cool crew at www.discgolf.co.nz
Friday morning, and Juan Under, the Mangere Bridge Mexican
had offered to drop the Auckland Freaky Styley crew to the airport
.. What a surprise .. 'not' .. to arrive a his place
to find him and Debbie Natural also packed and primed for the trip
to the 'Classic' celebration ..
Even the taxi ride was a blast!
The Mini bus arrived the gear was loaded and Juan,
Deb, Jim, Leigh, Arthur the Dutch international, the GM and Toby
climbed aboard.
Checking in at the airport we ran into Waiheke's
Brett Hailstone and family heading south for the Queenstown experience.
The flight down was awesome, fine weather made for great views,
with our pilot taking a few deviations to give us all a good look
at notable points of interest.
A room with a view...
The Queenstown weekend started with the usual dinner
at the 'Lone Star', where you order pork and get served
a pig. During dinner a few of the regular faces are seen making
the most of the last chance to carbo-load before the trip up to
Glenorchy, and 'Paradise' the next morning.
The next morning saw us running into even more
regular Queenstown golfers, as we picked up our morning coffees
and some supplies for the day, at that supurb bakery on Shotover
Wow !! This could be the biggest Paradise event
The Paradise Putters.
As we drove that fantastic Glenorchy road along
side Lake Wakatipu, all I could hear was the Dutch Tourist in the
back seat exclaiming "Woooooh, dis es beeeeeeaaaautiful ".
Every now and then we'd stop to stash another
bottle of water for the Beast to drink, on his Rotorua Marathon
training programme 27k run back into town that evening.
There was also the usual stop at the high vantage
point overlooking the lake and mountains for the annual photo of
the 'Freaky Styley' crew on our way to Paradise.
Stopping for a stunning preview of what was
to come...
As we we're taking our shots the Christchurch
crew of Neil Gardner, Sammy Neilson, Dave Sanders and company pulled
in with cameras blazing as well.
As we pulled into base camp in the awesome Paradise
Valley, once again the beaming face of James Smithells was there
to welcome us all to what was shaping up to be a record 20 players
at 'the plate'.
Briefing at Paradise.
The weather had also come to the party with very
little wind, clear skies and southern sunlight predicted for the
entire weekend, …….. and it stayed that way!!!!
The traditional flag designating that a Paradise
tournament is under way.
The morning round of Doubles is always a social
event, and a good way for any body who's never played the
course to have a good look at the multitude of places you can loose
your discs.
Well done to Simon Feasey and the 'Mainfreight
sponsored' Chris Kingsnorth who took out the doubles for 2005.
For the 12 tour players in the field of 20, the
first singles round at Paradise was where the weekend started, with
everyone keen to head to the gardens the next day with a slight
As the sun headed towards the horizon [yes it
was getting late] the cards came in, and American Ken Jarvis, back
in Queenstown for a second year but not competing on the tour, had
a one shot lead over Simon Feasey with the 'GM' just
another shot back [yes .. the GM just one shot short of the 'Big
Arm Western Springs Kid'.] and Chris Kingsnorth a further
shot behind.
It was tight!
Deb, Lee and Dylan pose in the stunning surroundings
of Paradise.
We dropped John 'the beast' Helmink
off 27k's out from Queenstown on our way back into town, and
he arrived as the first steaks we're coming off the BBQ on
the deck out side the apartment we had rented over looking the town
and lake. It was great to catch up with a few of the locals and
visitors over a rum & coke or two that evening.
No Sleep takes a contemplative break on the
hill of the 12th tee at Paradise.
Sunday morning .. The day of the ' 10th
Annual Helicopter Line Queenstown Classic'.
The Auckland crew arrive in the Gardens just in
time to help with the erection of the tent (oo-er) and to get registrations
underway .. it's only 10 and the sun is beaming down on us,
and hardly a cloud in the sky.
There's no place like Queenstown on a sunny
James welcomes the players, thanks the sponsors and the Eliott /
Menzies family for once again doing the sponsor rounds very successfully
again this year .. Hear Hear !!
As a player regularly at the Classic it's not the prizes I'm
there for, but it's always impressive to see how much Queenstown
gets behind our sport.
Not to say the Helicopter Line flights we've stayed an extra
day for over the last couple of years haven't been a high
Round 1 .. and my playing partner Chris Kingsnorth aces the first
hole .. shit ! I better get my game together, this man's serious.
I know he's in a hurry, having booked a 4:30 flight back to
Auckland, but that's ridicules !!
The cards come in just as the 12 feet of 'Subway
Sandwich' arrives .. Nice timing !!
Shock !! Horror !! is that a 55 they're writing
on the leader board beside the name .. Simon Feasey?
Seems the GM's 46 isn't as bad as first thought .. Surly
he's not got delusions of another 50 tour points.
Round 2 .. Bob, Chris, Ken and local Drew North
took the best of the morning scores to hole Number 1, for the start
of the all important second round in the Gardens, and of course
the third round for the tour players.
Tournament Champ Ken Jarvis visits Bruce...
With the GM struggling with a triple bogy on the
hole 5 right of the Ponderosa Pine mando .. Chris the 'Browns
Bay Back Yard Putter' must have been fancying his chances.
That 4 stroke buffer had just been cut to 1.
As the lead foursome wandered off green 18 and
did the arithmetic on the card, Ken had thrown a Queenstown Gardens
blinder, just like last year it had taken him the morning to warm
up, 42 for his closing round, not bad for a guy who only throws
once a year.
I suspect the GM and Chris we're quietly pleased he wasn't
a current member and the 50 points we're still alive ……..
now the nervous wait for Simon to come in.
The air conditioning specialist had taken 10 strokes
off his morning round, enough to take out the Shotover Jet Boat
ride for the biggest improvement between rounds, but not enough
to change the standings on the leader board.
But wait …. This can't be right !!
Surely .. not another 50 tour points for the GM.
The excitement of a chopper ride builds for
Toby and Mum...
With Sheree taking out the Woman's and Toby
the Under 10's (Although he's the first to remind me
as I'm telling him how proud I am of him, "But Dad ..
I was the ONLY under 10!") The following days Helicopter Line
flight was once again brimming with Gentils.
Can't wait till next year.
The Champs are on top!

XV International Estuarine Biogeochemistry Symposium – IEBS 2019
Estuaries and bays, located at the land-ocean interface, receive large quantities of nutrients and organic carbon from runoff thus supporting high rates of primary production and playing a major ecological role at a global scale. Since about 40% of the World's population live in coastal areas, these systems are also highly vulnerable to anthropogenic pressure. Understanding the transformation, fate and transport of chemical substances in such dynamic and complex systems where natural and anthropogenic gradients and processes take place is still challenging.
The XV International Estuarine Biogeochemistry Symposium will be held in Vigo (Galicia, Spain) for the first time. It will take place on the 4-5 June 2019. Galicia hosts a large number of rias, estuarine systems formed by flooding of former river valleys in the Preistocene-Holonce during the last interglacial transgression. The XV IEBS will cover the wide diversity of estuarine and bays, regarding their morphology, geographic location, climate conditions, and anthropogenic pressure.
Current changes in the land use and activities developed in coastal areas and the ever changing chemical compounds used in products for human consumption and/or industrial activities requires contemporary approaches for the monitoring and assessment of estuarine biogeochemical processes. Within this context, we welcome studies dealing with the sources, behavior and fate of nutrients, organic matter, and historical and emerging contaminants (trace elements, nanoparticles, organic compounds). A specific session will be dedicated to the potential impact and/or interaction of microplastics on the biogeochemical processes.

I am delighted to announce that the word 'immersive' doesn't mean anything anymore. Paint it on your mug at work – that's an immersive cup of tea you're having. Grab a toothbrush and some toothpaste for an immersive dental experience. Down at Sainsburys, loaded down with the tins of beans and coconut milk you'll be using over the course of the next week to make one of the four meals you can definitely cook – an immersive 1:1 experience with a cashier. All the world's a stage.
Tonight's performance of Menagerie, billed as 'erotic storytelling' and 'immersive theatre', is in the Kings Head Members Club on Kingsland Road, a four-floor private club filled with taxidermy. It has an insistent, bijou opulence that almost makes the £5.50 bottles of Estrella bearable. The performances take place in the Main Bar (the stage tucked in one corner, the booths, the bar and the taxidermied tiger taking up most of the space), the Cellar (a tiny underground night club with another stage) and the Polar Bear Bar (the largest room, almost entirely full for the evening, with a gigantic stuffed polar bear agape at the proceedings).
Menagerie is by the burlesque collective House of Kittens, and comprises a series of short performances, ranging from 3 to 16 minutes long. House of Kittens are a classic burlesque troupe: glossy, von Teese-esque stripteases are performed by talented dancers; the routines tightly choreographed and aesthetically sumptuous. There's nothing of the rowdy, the subversive or the counter-cultural here – Menagerie is professional and polished to the point of high lacquer.
The 'stories' it tells are more glimpsed vignettes than genuinely narrative, of course – think costume over character. The ensemble pieces are the most enjoyable. 'Queen of Hearts' is a fun confection featuring three skimpily clad ballerinas in point shoes, vying for the attention of a dominatrix-esque queen; the chic 'Fame' features as much stylish vogueing as it does string bodysuits. A couple of smaller pieces have the capacity to surprise despite the tried and tested formulas of classic burlesque: 'Oil Baby' draws on the dynamic and dress of the BDSM scene, and despite its sanitised variant as a performance piece, does carry a certain amount of fetishistic darkness; the solo 'Strange' is a masterful piece of contortion that is genuinely eye-goggling.
But so far, so proscenium (or, in the case of the Polar Bear Bar, catwalk). Where, then, is the immersive element?
I suspect it is in the choice of venue. Audience members are encouraged to walk around the Kings Head, 'curating' their own evenings. It's a little like being at a music festival – you pick the band you want to see (and sacrifice the ones you may have wanted to catch but which clash), and you turn up early enough to try and get a good place where you can see the stage. Or you wait by the bar, chance it, and wind up at the back of a staggering crowd. It is immersive in the sense that you are moving through it; as everyone is encouraged to come in Neo Noir costume, there should be a sense that even moving through it makes you a part of it.
The atmosphere at the Kings Head, however, is more like your rich friend's house party rather than a mysterious den of erotic mystery. The stairways are a touch too narrow to accommodate everyone comfortably, leading to a lot of awkward shifting. The Polar Bear Bar performances are so popular that people have to be turned away, and my companion for the evening witnesses a man shouting at one of the serenely professional ushers that he'd paid good money to be here, he'd write an email and complain if he wasn't let in, which stays with him in a way that even the most risqué performances don't. I arrive just in time to discover the cloakroom is full, and so spend the evening lugging a backpack and coat around, low-level wishing a plague of frogs on everyone who bumps into me, i.e., everyone.
What you are immersed in, then, is the anxious fug of everyone else trying to have a sexy time. There's something quite frantic and stressful about trying to have a sexy time. It's incredibly unsexy, no matter how lavishly costumed and stunningly performed the burlesque. The people having the best time, so far as I can tell, are just there to drink and flirt with one another, and don't much mind if they miss a show or two. Menagerie is great for fans of classic burlesque who also have a lot of chill.

Hardships For Heaven's Sake Series
Contributed by Greg Nance on Sep 27, 2003 (message contributor)
Summary: Need strength to face difficulty as a Christian? Paul supplies us with purpose and focus in this fourth chapter of 2 Corinthians.
Chapter 4 of 2 Corinthians finishes what he starts in chapter 3 and begins what he discusses in chapter 5.
The chapter and verse divisions of your Bible were not put in there by God. In fact, Stephen Langton first divided the Bible into chapters in 1228. The Old Testament was first divided by verses in 1448. Robert Stephanus put the verse divisions in the New Testament in 1551. Stephanus and Langton are both Frenchmen. So you can thank the French for the chapters and verse divisions in your Bibles.
Today we are studying another chapter of the letter of 2 Corinthians that describes why we should keep going when things seem hopelessly difficult.
I have some handouts for you that will help you in this study. (At the bottom of this lesson).
As we read this chapter let's notice the first person plural pronouns, "we, ourselves, our, us." These personal pronouns pepper the page. Twenty-seven times in 18 verses! This is a clear clue as to what concerns the writer of this chapter. Here's the text:
4:1 Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart.
2 But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
3 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,
4 whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.
5 For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus' sake.
6 For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.
8 We are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;
10 always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.
11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.
12 So then death is working in us, but life in you.
13 And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, "I believed and therefore I spoke," we also believe and therefore speak,
14 knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you.
15 For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.
17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,
18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
There are three headings woven through this chapter that might be labeled:
1. We have…
2. We are…/We are not…
3. We do not…
What does the writer claim in the "we have's" that help us?
1. We have this ministry (1)
2. We have received mercy (1)
3. We have renounced hidden things of shame (2)
4. We have this treasure in jars of clay (7)
5. We have the spirit of confessing faith (13)
What is the situation that calls for help in the "we are/we are not" statements?
1. We are hard pressed/ we are not crushed
2. We are perplexed/ we are not despairing
3. We are persecuted/ we are not forsaken
4. We are struck down/ we are not destroyed
Listen to this prose about prayer:
I asked for health that I might do greater things;
I was given infirmity that I might do better things.
I asked God for strength that I might achieve;
I was made weak that I might learn to obey.
I asked for riches that I might be happy;
I was given poverty that I might be wise.

Dead season in February
I can not wait March and the fly fishing season beginning! What we can catch in February? Not much! It's complete dead fly fishing season. Spinning? Pike fishing is prohibited, because they are spawning. The lakes are covered with thick ice, and temperatures are extremely low these days, even at -20 degrees. The most heroic fishermen can go to some of our rivers and try to catch pike perch. Dress nice and warmly and go to the river Sava, Drava or Danube to fish this beautiful fish. And take a lot of silicone fish lures and jig heads. Here are 3 photos of my friend Igor and his nice fish, and two of mine. All fish were released back. Igor's biggest in this period is 82 cm, almost 5 kg. But remember that Sava is hiding much bigger pike perch, and Dunav is well known for his capital trophy fish. Check this one ;) http://fishingincroatia.blogspot.com/2011/02/28213.html

I normally don't post the full text of my speeches on line, seeing as that information is usually intended for a specific audience, and my written account is more of a guidepost than the accurate text. These were my set of notes for the SIMSTL speech I gave last Tuesday, and I thought they might be interesting for some of the audience, as was requested. These are just notes, not a full article. I've attached the Powerpoint, also.
Text of Speech: How Blogs Can Make (Or Break) a Corporate Reputation
Social media is the relatively new phenomenon of many-to-many communication, versus the more traditional one-to-one or one-to many communication that has dominated the business world since the first introduction of newspapers. There are many forms of social media: Blogging was the first of these to gain phenomenon status, but in the last two years, social networking sites like MySpace, Online Video portals like YouTube, podcasting, vloggin, viral marketing, and consumer-created advertising have all hit the mainstream. The basic principle is simple – corporations used to craft a message and broadcast it to the general public. This was one way communication, where the message was tightly controlled. Social media is in part a wave of reaction to a glut of marketing messages, but also an expression of the very real need of human beings to share their thoughts, their experiences, and their accomplishments.

Anyone who has been fired from a job has likely had the following thought, if only fleetingly: "Was I fired for the reasons my employer stated, or was that just an excuse?" Unfortunately, too many employers are able to fire workers for illegal reasons masked as legitimate.
The basics of religious accommodation in employment
The subject of religious freedom in America has been hotly debated throughout our country's history, and that debate continues today. Thankfully, the United States has largely managed to uphold religious liberty in its laws, including its employment laws.
Transgender discrimination lawsuit settled with the EEOC
The fight for LGBT rights has been a long and difficult one, and progress has not been uniform among the four groups that fall under the LGBT banner. The gay and lesbian communities have made important gains in efforts to combat discrimination in housing, services and employment (although employment protections are not as far-reaching as they could be).

Truro Pre-Prep have recently been on a trip to St Agnes beach.
Reception and Year 1 joined forces for a fun filled day at Trevaunance Cove. They started the day with a trip to St Agnes Museum and talked to Mr Radcliffe about the Leatherback Turtle that had washed up dead and found to have eaten plastic.
They then arrived at the beach where they had a talk from a local fisherman about the process of laying pots to catch crab and lobster. He also spoke to the children about his experience of noticing the increase of plastic in the sea over the last ten years. He gave the pupils a lobster and some crabs to release back into the sea. The group were also lucky enough to see a starfish.
After a lovely picnic, the children had the chance to work together to build impressive sandcastles and even have a paddle in the waves.
Reception have been learning about the negative effects of plastic pollution and are currently raising money to adopt a turtle through the Marine Conservation Society.

It takes dedication, innovation and a little luck—or perhaps a lot of luck—to turn a vision into a successful business. This might be your life story or the story of someone you are close to. But what will happen to the small business when the owner is no longer able to chart the course?
According to a recent article in the Boston Globe, more than eight out of ten family-run businesses do not have a succession plan in place. And that could be a recipe for future failure.
Essentially, such a plan is a road map for heirs and business associates to follow in the event of death, disability or retirement. It may include provisions to distribute stock and other assets, acquire or amend life and disability insurance policies, arrange buy-sell agreements, divide responsibilities among successors and tie up any other loose ends. The plan can also establish the value of the business for various purposes.
Where do you start? First, the owner must clearly establish his or her objectives and define the financial circumstances. Next, several critical questions must be answered, such as whether the owner intends to retain some level of control in retirement, whether there is a capable successor within the ranks and if there are sufficient assets to pay any estate tax, distribute assets and still keep the business running. This also requires some frank and honest discussions with co-owners or partners, family members and key employees and stakeholders.
Following are several other points to consider:
- Business, family and health situations are ever-changing, so make the plan relatively easy to modify.
- It is important to designate the best person (or people) to take over the This can be a difficult process if there are several viable candidates among the children, siblings or business associates. Similarly, dividing up business assets in an equitable fashion can be a challenge if you hope to preserve family harmony.
- Develop a basic understanding of the prevailing federal and state estate tax laws. On the federal level, the tax law currently provides a generous $10 million estate tax exemption (indexed to $11.4 million 2019) with a top tax rate of 40%. Thus, most small business owners can shield their estates from federal tax, but there may be other consequences on the state level.
- Be aware of gift tax benefits. Under the annual gift tax exclusion, a donor can gift up to $15,000 per year to each recipient ($30,000 for joint gifts by a married couple). The exclusion is allowed in addition to the lifetime gift tax exclusion (which is unified with federal estate tax exemption).
- Consider establishing the fair market value (FMV) of your company. The FMV is usually defined as the amount that a buyer would be willing to pay under the usual circumstances. It can be incorporated in a buy-sell agreement that will keep the business afloat in the event of a sudden death or disability.
Final words: Creating a succession plan is generally not a do-it-yourself proposition. Seek guidance from your JMF professional advisers.

text: No electricity plus extreme heat seems like torture, but what seems inhumane to many of us is the unfortunate reality of millions. And with summer vacation approaching, many Canadians of Pakistani origin will also be planning for a trip to the country. The Pakistani Meteorological Department put out a weather advisory for Pakistan earlier this week. They warned of very hot and dry weather all week across the country. They indicated that Punjab, KP, Balochistan and Sindh will be the centre of heat where day temperatures will cross over 45 degrees and central parts will hit a high of 50 degrees. Multan is also facing temperatures around 47 degrees. Those in coastal areas will not be affected greatly because of the sea breeze. This includes Karachi and Lahore where the temperatures are expected to remain around or below 40 degrees. Mountainous areas of Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir will be affected by the heat and expect to result in melting of snow and glaciers. The heat is not only affecting the people and country, but it has resulted in longer power outage duration with urban areas facing six hours of power outage and rural areas eight hours of outage. Meteorologists have predicted for this weather to continue for a couple more days as there are no signs of rain. In the meantime, the department is advising residents to take into consideration the weather alert and be aware of the health authorities advice to avoid heat strokes and dehydration.

Salman Khan's Kick 2's release date revealed
It's an exciting time for Salman Khan fans as they'll soon be seeing him on the big screen with Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai lined up for release on Eid this year. The actor recently also announced his next project Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali, which is set to release on Eid 2021. Apart from this, Salman will star in the sequel of his hit film Kick which, like Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali, is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala.
During an interview with a leading daily, Sajid Nadiadwala spoke about his upcoming projects with Salman. He said, "Salman and I are collaborating after six years and it feels like our Judwaa days are back. I had started writing Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali even before the Kick sequel. It's a film with a very different approach and we are sure the audience will love Salman in this avatar we have planned." The producer also confirmed the release date of Kick 2. He said, "Salman and Sajid are both eager to take the Kick franchise forward and have zeroed down on a script that justifies the character of Devil. The first draft is locked, the final screenplay will be ready by year-end. Kick 2 will happen in December 2021."

George O'Shaughnessy
as The B.F.G.
Mentor, Voluntary Worker, Gallery Director
What were you like at school?
12 years old at Donnington Middle School in Oxford is when I started my crusade to save the world. I made art eco books for Blue Peter, organised and took part in sponsored silents (me? yes me staying silent), needed a bit of extra support with my speech. Over the time cakes where bought, cakes baked, cake sales and of course digging the wild life garden. Four years later I made it to sixth form, and with friends we formed an arts collective called artisjustaword, which holds the simple belief that everyone is creative.
What inspires you about the Super Power Agency?
To break away from the boxes to allow creativity to become every day, for impossible to become possible to find the inner super power that everyone carries. The Super Power Agency is about imagination coming alive.
What would you do if you could be invisible for an hour?

Matt Hancock sidestepped calls to confirm he would resign to block a no-deal Brexit, as he revealed the cost of NHS contingency planning.

The health secretary said around £11 million of taxpayers' cash has been spent so far, adding there have been costs to the pharmaceutical industry due to stockpiling of medicines.
Hancock also attempted to reassure people with diabetes after insisting the two major providers of insulin have made stockpiles of at least 12 weeks - double that requested by the Government for other medicines
Speaking in the House of Commons, shadow health secretary Jonathan Ashworth said Hancock had spoken with his "characteristic self-confidence" about insulin supplies but highlighted concerns from charities.
He added government impact assessments linked to no-deal planning for medicines show the NHS will "pay more for drugs, UK firms will face more red tape, NHS patients will go to the back of the queue when it comes to international innovation".
Ashworth went on: "Given the consequences of no-deal are so devastating for the NHS, will he - like apparently the justice secretary [David Gauke] will do - resign from the government if it means blocking no-deal?"
Hancock replied: "If he really cared about stopping no-deal, he would vote for the deal as well."
He described his Labour counterpart as a "reasonable man" before adding: "I like him. My politics are probably closer to his politics than his are to the leader of his party [Jeremy Corbyn].
"So why doesn't he have the gumption to join his friends over there in the Independent Group instead of backing this hard-left proto-communist as the leader of the Labour Party?"
Chris Leslie, Angela Smith and Mike Gapes, who were among the seven MPs to quit Labour to sit as an independent group, based themselves on seats next to the DUP during health questions in the Commons.
Earlier, Labour's Nick Smith said: "Can you say how much has already been spent after activating NHS no-deal contingency plans and what the overall bill for this will be?"
Hancock replied: "Yes, around £11 million has been spent already.
"The NHS is not generally buying the extra medicines that are going into the elongated stockpiles but the pharmaceutical industry is because we'll eventually buy most of those medicines for the NHS.
"So there have been costs in the pharmaceutical industry as well, but the cost so far to the taxpayer is £11 million and I expect it'll remain at that level - if a little higher."
Vicky Ford, Conservative MP for Chelmsford, raised concerns over insulin supplies for people with diabetes.
Hancock replied: "Whilst across all medicines we have requested the pharmaceutical industry has an extra six weeks of supplies in case of a no-deal Brexit, in the case of insulin the two major providers have already made stockpiles of at least double this - which shows that those with concerns about access to insulin can know that the plans we've got in place are being enacted even more strongly than elsewhere."
SNP MP Carol Monaghan asked about arrangements for radioisotopes post-Brexit.
Hancock replied: "In the event of a problem at the border, at the Dover-Calais straits then we will be bringing in radioisotopes by air. We've already contracted an aircraft to make sure that this happens. So that part of the planning is very well advanced."

Photo-A-Day #4601
I traveled back home from California all day. I left from the hotel at 3:30 am and got there quickly. While I was waiting there I noticed a woman standing there. I recognized her as Chloe Bennet from Marvel's Agent's Of S.H.I.E.L.D. I had met her a couple years back on the set of the show. I did not go and say anything to her, but I wanted to do so. I don't like to bug people, especially at 6am while waiting for a plane to land. I did see her again in first class as I went to my seat.
My flights were good. I caught up on things on the DVR as we flew and it was a good flight but long couple of flights. I got home around 6pm. I discovered that the things that I ordered for Andrew's birthday party were ordered incorrectly. For some reason I only ordered one set of gift bag items when I clearly remember ordering two of them. So, I ended up running out to party city for some additional bags and more little toys. Andrew's party was Ninja themed. Allison got a wonderful cake topper for his birthday cake. It was actually edible ink printed on frosting. It was of LEGO Ninjago. She also made these adorable little bow tie cookies. I had to run out a second time to get some icing and more to finish those off.
When I came home Andrew and I filled the bags and then I read him part of a story. He was so tired that he even wanted me to stop and read more tomorrow. He must have been exhausted. It was a good idea, tomorrow is going to be busy as well.

Dazzler #25 (1983, March)
And now to finish off March 1983, with a fill-in issue of Dazzler, by Steve Grant and Mark Bright. The story is titled "The Jagged Edge."
We start at a photo session, with Alison in a "buccaneer" look, with Lance pointing to Adam and the Ants as proof that it's in. (Fun note: Adam and the Ants broke up in March 1982. This issue would've come out, probably, January 1983.) She goes to change, and Lance brings her a delivery. Some roses and a sweet note from a secret admirer. Ali thinks it's nice, Lance warns her to be careful. Ali snaps that she swore not to let success change her, and to put her secret admirer on the pass list for that night's show. Someone's watching her through binoculars from across the street, and the guy then runs down to the street and back to his work, and we learn his name is Karl Fredericks. When he gets home, his mother expresses concern that he missed another appointment at the Veteran's Hospital. Man, what a simpler time it must have been. These days, it takes a minor miracle just to get an appointment at a VA hospital. Anyway, Karl's got a ton of guns in his room, along with a ton of Dazzler posters. He sees his uniform hanging in his closet, and he snaps at his mom and threatens to walk out on her.
That night, Karl goes to see Dazzler backstage, and asks her to dinner, and she agrees. They go to a nice dinner, he talks about his dad leaving while he was in 'Nam, they get champagne. It's a great evening. But then she has to go home and get some sleep, and he doesn't want to let her, and tries to force himself on her, but she dazzles him, then gets in a cab and tells him to stay out of her life. I'm sure he'll listen. He seems like a reasonable – oh, wait, no, he's shouting that she's his and no one else is going to have her.
The next day, when Alison gets to Osgood's office, she finds it's been ransacked, and he tells her nothing was stolen except the promotional pictures of her. But no alarm went off, which suggests he had a key. Then a call comes in for Dazzler, from Karl, apologizing for the office and promising to prove himself to her. Then his boss unplugs the phone and fires him, though Ali doesn't hear that part. She's shaken up and goes home, where she finds roses, and a note promising to "destroy the creep" who hurt Alison the most. She's trying to figure out what to do, an the thought hits her that she's seen him before, at the keyshop. When she gets there, his boss is laying on the floor with a gunshot wound.
Alison goes to Karl's apartment, and his mother recognizes her as his fiance. We also find out Karl never went to Vietnam, and that his father didn't walk out, he died. A gun's been taken off the wall, and a clipbook has some pictures and articles of Alison's father, with "MUST DIE!" scrawled on one of them. I wonder what it could mean. It seems pretty cryptic. Maybe it's German? Anyway, she goes to her dad's courthouse, and reaches him as he reaches his chambers, but Karl's already there, and ready to kill a judge, inside a courthouse. Because he's such a great planner. Dazzler manages to stop him, but he escapes. But now he hates her. Fans can be so fickle sometimes.
After her next show, he shows up to try to kill her. She fights him, and she has to smash her mirror to get enough sound to blast him. And then everyone arrives, after it's all over. Obviously, they couldn't arrive during the fight. That would be dangerous. She feels terrible about pushing him over the edge, and wonders if she's going to have to spend the rest of her life wondering who she can trust.
This isn't a bad issue. It's a lot more straightforward than usual, being a done-in-one. It's focused on the career side rather than the hero side, which is good. The series had become too focused on superheroics by this point, so getting an issue about Dazzler as a musician, and some comments on her rising star, were appreciated. I feel like drifting away from that had become a major mistake, and a major reason why the series continued to flounder. This issue also actually makes a couple wise choices in terms of how to handle the music aspects. A lot of issues dedicated fairly significant panel time to her performing, and occasionally performing original songs. This one had only a couple panels, and the lyrics were for existing songs that were at least moderately popular at the time ("Psycho Killer" by the Talking Heads at the first show, and "I Don't Like Mondays" by the Boomtown Rats at the second one show). Most readers at the time would probably be able to hear the songs in their heads, which always helps, and it was only a line or two from each song anyway, so it doesn't really matter if you're not familiar with the songs.
The story is fairly standard for its type, but it's not a type of story seen often in superhero comics. It's your typical "obsessed fan threatens celebrity" story, a warning about the dangers of fame and all that. It wasn't a new story in 1983, but I don't know if it was ever a new story. It's been done even more times since then, which removes even more of the power from this story. Also, the fact that she's been fighting supervillains, and had just the previous issue survived another fight with Rogue, probably hurts the tension here. She's fought an evil mutant who can throw cars, and now she's menaced by some crazy jackass with a gun. However, Grant actually does a pretty good job still making it tense.
One thing that might've hurt was the art. It's simply not sophisticated enough to be effective. Bright was a very talented artist, no question there. I just don't think he was good enough for this story. It would've worked better with someone like Klaus Janson or Bill Sienkewicz – someone who does dark and tense really, really well. Mark Bright's style was too light, too – and I hate to make this pun, but there's no more appropriate word here – bright. The art wound up giving the story too normal, too casual a mood, when it needed something that made readers more unsettled.
Still, despite my complaints, this is probably the best issue in quite a while. I wonder how the book would've gone if Grant had been made the new writer. Unfortunately, he wasn't, and the series didn't go particularly well. In fact, after this issue, it actually changed to a bimonthly schedule – presumably, the sales just weren't there to keep it monthly, but Marvel wasn't ready to cancel it entirely.
On a side note, Bendis posted a new look for Dazzler, designed by Kris Anka. Check it out here. I'm sorry to say, I don't like it. I just don't think it works. I guess we'll have to wait and see how it looks in the book, but based on that image, I'm not impressed. The holes in her clothes just look silly, and I'm not sold on the hair style or cut. I feel like Anka could've done better.
Also in March, in Marvel Fanfare #7, we got a fight between the Hulk and the Blob and Unus, by Steven Grant (him again!) and Joe Barney. The Blob is running a carnival, and Unus is by himself in the centre tent, his force field turned up too much for him to turn it off. The Blob is trying to help him. Hulk stumbles on the carnival, and fights them. He manages to hit Unus' force field strong enough to turn it off. It's a pretty good story. It's fun. The second story, by Bill Mantlo and George Freeman, is cruel and evil and Mantlo should be ashamed of himself. It's a Daredevil story, about him searching for a seeing-eye dog that ran away from an accident. It will make you cry if you read it.
And today's awesome song is Gray or Blue by Jaymay.

When I first saw Dazzler new outfit I didn't like or dislike it, but a did get a good chuckle out of mostly be it made think of this "Punk is nothing but death and crime and the Rage of A Beast" anyway it's not the worst thing ever but it could be better.

Also known as Henry of Winchester, Henry III was king of England, Duke of Aquitaine and the Lord of Ireland. He was born in 1207 as the heir to the royal English throne after King John, his father. His reign as king started at a very tender age of 9, and Henry III was prophesized to be a great ruler, but somehow, he fell quite short on the greatness scale as far as his military and political triumphs were concerned. He is widely popular in the history as a coward, egoistic, arrogant ruler who happened to invade France twice, but to no great success. However, his rule did manage to suppress the Baron rebellion at the battles of Lincoln and Sandwich in 1217; just a year after Henry assumed the throne. But still after that, Henry spent quite a chunk of his life trying to suppress them, eventually leading up to the first arrangement of England's parliament in 1264. His father, King John, also remained a controversial figure and was quite unpopular but Henry III's unpopularity was a little bit redeemed by the fact that under his reign, England opened up to a certain degree of prosperity and political and social advancements.
Recommended Lists:
- Born in the royal palace of Winchester on 1st October 1207 to King John and Isabella of Angouleme, Henry was named after his grandfather, Henry II, who was a very effective ruler and under his reign, the English Empire grew wide, covering many areas of south-west and north-west France. Henry's father, John was an incompetent ruler, who lost many French territories to King Philip II of France.
- So weak was his reign that King Philip's son, Louis dreamed of having the English throne for himself and political incompetency of John made way for the First Baron's War in England, with the Barons aided by Prince Louis, who later became King Louis VII of France. However, Barons were unable to win, so was King John, and he died amidst the struggle, leaving his eldest son, Henry as the heir to the throne.
- Henry was brought up amidst all the chaos, but he was away from the war and political turmoil as a kid. He was close to his mother, and his mother loved him way more than his siblings. His formal education commenced in 1212, and was the responsibility of Peter des Roches, who happened to be the bishop of Westminster. Henry was subsequently given the training in war, politics, military, combats and horse riding to prepare him as a ruler.
- The day his father died, Henry was at the Corfe Castle with his mother. The king had ordered before his death that the throne was in great danger and Henry's coronation must take place as quickly as possible. William Marshal, King John's good friend and supposedly the greatest knight in all England, was to be made the guardian of young Henry. Henry was proclaimed the king by the crown loyalists, William Marshal knighted him and the official coronation ceremony took place on 28th October 1216. Henry was just 9 years of age.
- King John had left Henry in a very complicated situation, with the general public criticising the royalty for having half the country occupied by the rebels. With the help of William and Guala Bicchieri, Henry somehow managed to curb the rebellions. The main cause of Baron's dissatisfaction was the fact that Henry's father, King John, was a bad ruler and his policies were insensitive and brainless. Magna Carta was reissued in Henry's name, first in 1216 and again in 1217.
- In what was later known as one of the most decisive battles in the English History, William Marshal led a force to Lincoln and defeated the Baron rebels at the battles of Lincoln and Sandwich in 1217.
- When William died of sickness in 1219, Henry was still very young and somehow unable to rule on his own and hence, Hubert de Burgh became his chief advisor and played a great role in reconfirming the charter in 1223 and established peace with Wales. Pop Honorius III declared in the same year that Henry was finally coming of age and he could make decisions in certain matters of royal importance and in 1227, Henry proclaimed to take back the land which King Louis of France had promised, but didn't adhere to it.
- Henry declared war ('war for inheritance'); by then King Louis VIII had died, and his son Louis IX had become the king of France. The French kingdom seemed to be in weaker position compared to the English and as Henry gathered his forces against France to reclaim the lands in Brittany and Poitou in 1230, it turned out to be a military and political failure. After years of struggle, Henry finally gave up on his claims and signed a peace treaty with King Louis IX of France. In 1934 Henry returned empty handed to England. This colossal failure did cost the crown a lot of fortune and Henry invited hatred and indiscipline and challenge to his authority from all corners of his kingdom.
- In an attempt to reach further peace, Henry married Eleanor of Province in 1236. Eleanor was known as a much better royal and a 'strong-headed personality'. They were married in the Canterbury cathedral, and at the time, Henry was 28, while Eleanor was just 12. But he treated her gently, causing love to bloom between the two, despite it being a political arrangement for the most part. Eleanor gave birth to five children. This marriage opened ways for French to have a place in the royal court of England, and although this move was considered bold, it did create some trust issues with the barons.
- By 1239, Henry had gained notoriety and one of his family relatives, Simon de Montfort, along with Henry's own brother, Richard, joined the rebels. Henry managed to bring his brother back to his side by arranging a marriage for him, and once that was done, the rebellion grew weak. Simon was alone and was constantly blaming the King for bringing foreigners to the royal court and the church in the important positions, while ignoring his own countrymen. This put barons and the church against Henry and de Montfort, being a charismatic leader, managed to motivate many barons and warriors to side with him.
- The battle finally took place, with Henry's eldest son Edward leading the charge against de Montfort. By 1263, de Montfort had captured most of the South eastern England and in the battle of the Lewes the next year against Prince Edward's troops, he emerged victorious. Somehow, the battle was lost and Henry and his children were put under house arrest by de Montfort. De Montfort rose to power and came extremely close to eliminate the Monarchy completely, but most of the barons who supported him earlier, didn't approve of that.
- Barons who followed de Montfort into the war started suspecting him of trying to change their way of life, which was represented by the monarchy, which they thought was 'too bold' a decision and most of them didn't support it, which led to decline in de Montfort's power. And worse, Prince Edward managed to escape the house arrest with the help of one of his cousins, and in the battle of Evesham in 1265, he defeated de Montfort and Henry regained his throne.
- In 1270, Prince Edward left for France and Henry became severely ill. He called for Edward, but he didn't respond. King Henry III breathed his last on 16th November 1274 and was buried in Westminster Abbey. At the time of his death, his wife stood by him. He was survived by four out of five of his children - Edward, the heir; Margaret, Beatrice of England and Edmond Crouchback.
- Although he wasn't a very popular ruler, but Henry III was appreciated for the love he had for art. He ordered to build Westminster Abbey in a gothic style, which was a bold choice. Under his reign, England became financially prosperous due to the tax reforms.
- In popular culture, Henry III has been a part of many folk tales and poems, but not as much as other English royals. In Dante's 'The Divine Comedy', Henry III is shown brooding outside a door. And even though William Shakespeare wrote plays about several popular monarchs, he avoided writing about Henry III, for which he received some level of criticism.

I've been waiting for TWO WHOLE WEEKS for a recovery CD to be sent out to me by the Australian NEC supplier - as of last Thurs my support request had been "processed", whatever that may mean... In the meantime I've tried all sorts of tools to help me recover the lost data - running WinXP Pro on a computer which is meant to run Vista probably doesn't help matters any I can access the recovery partition but just can't recover from it; the closest I've come is by using TestDisk, but I have no understanding of certain operations of said tool. I've looked online for NEC's RecoveryTools as a download, all to no avail. I'm under warranty so can get free repair, no doubt IN AN INSTANT, but I can't live without my computer Yes, I'm a tragic with no life So! My question to all you wonderful, BRILLIANT experts out there - like Ishan for one - is, if I still have to wait another week or two or whatever for NEC to pull their fingers out and send me the blessed recovery stuff - WHAT THE HELL CAN I DO TO RECOVER MY SYSTEM to its original settings and whatnot????????? IS there some sort of downloadable .exe program to recover NEC computers, or do I just put up and wait? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
