The Structure and Advantages of Cutting-edge Quality Management Systems
Making sure that quality assurance remain in location is a relentless task for procedures and also quality supervisors. As well as it's specifically hard to do if you're using guidebook, paper-based paperwork. The trick is to link functional performance with a manufacturing control plan as well as work directions that everybody has accessibility to, as well as due to the fact that plans are revised and also guidelines may transform, it's perfect to have on the internet access in actual time. Not just does this ensure that you've obtained the most current quality actions in area to govern procedures, but it also represents proof documents you can offer customers or auditors to confirm that you're executing your plan.
The most effective means to do this is to use a production execution system with quality assurance that are not just integrated in-- however likewise developed in. With the manufacturing procedure, each operation is defined in the control prepare for input materials, job centre equipments, and tooling. Nonetheless, it will not permit the driver to record manufacturing unless all of these components are proper for that procedure. Evaluation procedures as well as regularity are initiated as per the control strategy to make certain that ISO 9001 Accreditation Consultants operators perform as called for, using the proper examination devices which they are within calibration. Supervisors can obtain a sharp if an attempt is made to override or circumvent the control strategy. All tasks are recorded straight at the work centre and also are instantly available throughout business for analysis by quality supervisors.
Dimensions are digitised by keying them in or thru direct digital tool connections as well as statistical procedure control is inhabited instantly and provided at the job centre for constant tracking by the driver. And due to the fact that everything is digital, it is constantly on-line for remote tracking by quality monitoring to much more swiftly catch measurements that might trend beyond the control limits. When you instil quality in your organisation, you regulate production efficiency at the production minute rather of after the reality in reaction to a quality problem. This offers you a real-time view of how quality is being infused throughout manufacturing as well as the confidence that you are fulfilling specs, in compliance, as well as providing on what your consumers want.
Think of the quantity of job needed to transform an automobile from an arbitrary collection of assorted parts right into the assembled entity that it is when it reaches the end of an assembly line. Vehicles don't just spontaneously show up. There are a wide variety of items that have to be created in order to develop a risk-free and also efficient equipment and also there are many steps set in place to transform these pieces right into the complete vehicle that rolls out of a manufacturing facility and also onto the road. Nevertheless, this procedure does not always go according to plan. As well as because of the amount of item remembers in the vehicle market, making quality assurance is a vital part in stopping hazardous as well as expensive troubles.
Production quality assurance can be defined as the oversight of aspects of the manufacturing production. The goal of applying producing quality assurance is to produce items that adapt industry, company as well as consumer assumptions, each time. This system checks everything from the components that are manufactured to the employees that put them together. When such strategies are made use of, the end outcome is the optimum efficiency of the made item. Everybody from a plant flooring worker to a designer to an operator becomes an indispensable part of the procedure as that person is liable for monitoring data and reporting it back to a main exec hub. Production quality control treatments change a factory into a transparent machine that can be analysed as well as modified according to what is required.
As the globe gets ready for a possible manufacturing return, its success or failure will certainly be determined by the capacity to generate products that are of sound quality while reducing costs and increasing performance. As well as making quality assurance procedures will certainly be the oversight required to get us there. If advancement activities have actually been performed effectively, the item as well as production procedure are accompanied by a process control method. If advancements have not been executed appropriately or fully, you will certainly see that manufacturing divisions face many issues, which need to be taken care of after the product launch. Executing a reliable quality assurance method which improves manufacturing requires a structured approach. We have favorable experiences with the quality control guide. When using this, you can be sure that all needed facets manufacturing, style, engineering, statistics as well as management are covered.

Designing a CMOS synthesizer RFIC
By Louis Fan Fei, Garmin International
November 16, 2007 -- rfdesignline.com
The three major building blocks in a modern, fully-integrated transceiver are a transmitter (TX), a receiver (RX), and a synthesizer. A synthesizer design is quite different from the TX or the RX. Both a TX and a RX have a higher analog content. The synthesizer design has significantly higher digital content. It challenges the designer's analog and digital skills.
In some instances, what appears to be an analog function is actually implemented with a digital block. For example, a frequency divider and a phase/frequency detector (PFD) are routinely implemented with the digital building blocks. In other instances, what appears to be a digital block needs a carefully analog design, such as a charge pump (CP). In the voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) design, both analog and digital building circuits are needed. The required knowledge of mixed-signal circuits makes a synthesizer a challenging design to work on.
A synthesizer is used to generate a very stable carrier signal for the TX and the RX. It is used to switch a transceiver to a different channel. The important requirements are: integrated in-band phase noise, spur level, channel switching speed, frequency step resolution, local oscillator pulling, power consumption, and low power supply rail.
The two popular synthesizer architectures are an integer-N and a fractional-N phase-locked loop (PLL). If an integer-N PLL can meet the requirement, it should be used because of a relatively simpler design. But in most cases, especially the multi-band, multi-mode transceivers used in cellular applications, a fine frequency resolution and a fast switching time are needed. In those cases, a fraction-N will have to be used. There are many good references on the synthesizer system and the digital control block design. This paper focuses on the detailed analog/RF circuit portion. The CP, PFDs, frequency dividers, VCOs are discussed below. All the pure digital signal processing (DSP), such as delta-sigma (Ä Ó), are left out because it is a topic all by itself.

Video review from Aidsand Wright-Riggins III
View Tennant's related webinars on preaching with the economy in mind.
Preaching in Plenty and in Want is a guide to preaching a culturally and economically sensitive sermon, in good times and bad.
Every day, people face new economic realities that affect their livelihoods, their families, their futuresand their faith. In this practical new resource, former brokerage-firm vice-president-turned-church pastor Matthew Tennant explains both why and how to connect the endless stream of economic information with a biblical message.
Preaching in Plenty and in Want offers pastors an accessible and relevant primer on basic economics. Then the author reviews what Scripture has to say on the topic and considers how current economies affect the individual as well as the congregation as a whole. Included are chapters on preaching specific economically-related messages, such as:
• The fallacy of prosperity• Simple living• "Where is God when..."• Hope for tomorrow
Features sample sermons that illustrate the economic and biblical points!
"Preaching in Plenty and in Want is substantive but not difficult to read. I recommend it. Tennant knows the territory of preaching and of congregational life." Margaret Marcuson for ChurchCentral.com, Feb. 9, 2012
"Tennant...explores with pastoral sensitivity how a congregation's social location and preexisting attitudes shape their readiness to respond to prophetic preaching on economic themes. Preaching that takes people from where they are to where God would have them be is a process, not a one-time event. Counseling patience and tenacity, his approach is nuanced and gentle, but not timid." Dr. Ann A. Michel, Associate Director, Lewis Center for Church Leadership
"Provides information and tools for both understanding the economic context in which pastors preach and connecting that context to sermon preparation. Enables pastors to craft sermons that can reach people 'where they are' in good and bad economic times." Congregational Resource Guide's Winter 2011-12 Reading Recommendations
"This book will assist any Christian pastor seeking help with addressing economic realities from the pulpit." Congregational Resource Guide
"With tips on better understanding economics in the fundamental sense, the scripture's thoughts on the struggles, and how the economy affects ones congregation in general, Preaching in Plenty and in Want is a strong pick for Christian collections." Midwest Book Review, April 2012
Matthew Tennant is senior minister of University Baptist Church, Charlottesville, VA. He serves on the Human Rights Commission for the City of Charlottesville and as a visiting professor of philosophy of religion at L'Université Chrétienne du Nord d'haiti. He holds a DPhil from the University of Oxford where he also received his MSt in Theology. In addition, he has an MDiv from the Baptist Theological Seminary of Richmond, VA, and an MBA from the University of Alabama.
Tennant lives in Charlottesville, VA with his wife, their two sons, and their dog and cat. The Tennants enjoy sailing and hiking.

Great Service and Perfect Installation of our Seats.
Just had these guys come out and install two seats for us. One Convertible seat, rear facing, and one forward facing seat.
They came during the time frame they said they would. Our car seats are totally secure. Installer was very pleasant and explained everything to us.
We've had our car seats installed and reinstalled several times in the past by 'professionals' and had no idea that they could be as secure as what they are now. They don't budge.

Amazing Customer Service
Yesterday while Brian was installing a car seat for me I mentioned that I have had issues with two car seats made by the same manufacturer. Despite neither car seat being purchased through The Capsule King, Brian went above and beyond trying to resolve the issue for me which included him calling the supplier direct. Day to day I think we all receive fairly average service so it was so refreshing to be on the receiving end of such fabulous customer service from someone who clearly has a lot of pride in his business.

Have used them twice with no complaint
I had them come to my home to install my rear facing seat in Aug 14. I have just had them back to turn the seat forward facing. $65 to come to me & ensure it was correctly fitted and secure is worth it in my opinion. All aspects of the seat were explained- and they even checked the covers had been put back on correctly after i took them of to wash.
Said they'd be here between 2-430pm- arrived right on 2pm! And gave a courtesy call to say they were 5min away

Pretty unhappy with these guys and waiting for it to be made right.
I called and got same day service, was happy to pay the $60 callout, $15 per anchor point install and $10 per small part I needed to fit the seats properly.
However, my headrest was damaged in the process of installation. I was told - "We're very sorry, go and get a quote, send it to me and I'll wire you the money to have it repaired".
We're now three days past that and I get an email saying that my quote ($23 part, $75 labour) is too considered too expensive and I should provide two further quotes.
I've already lost 1.5 hours of w...Read moreorking time to go and get the first quote (an inspection was required, and a drive to and from that inspection) - so I'll be out a possible further 3 hours + another half a day repair time before this is all sorted. The guy came out same day. My car was damaged, had to have many calls and emails to try sort out compensation - ongoing still.

Excellent Service!
Perfect!! Can't thank [Personal Name Removed] and the Capsule King enough! Made an enquiry, and they came out the next morning! Fitted both our cars quickly and easily, and took me through the "how to" of both seats, step by step. Such an affordable service. Will have them come again when we change the capsule, and also change hubby's car to forward facing. Very knowledgable and kind. Thanks!!

Professional, helpful and handy.
I had The Capsule King install both my baby seats, and change over to forward facing on both occasions because I was a new mum and didn't want to get anything wrong. I found their service helpful and I considered the safety of my children more important than the cost, and I also found peace of mind with a professional.
As we have a new car, I wanted to have new anchor points installed and went to find their number and was surprised to see a less than complimentary review.
As my experience with them formally had been positive, and everyon...Read moree I know that has used the service had nothing but nice things to say about them (including the salesman I bought the car from - who recommended their services for my requirements), I called them and made a booking while being made fully aware of all charges (of which I was already acquainted with as I visited their website). They were friendly, helpful and totally professional. I highly recommend their services. Customer focused.

Beware of their call out fee
Not recommend this. Beware of their call out fee.
I though $60 to change the capsule seat around is a bit pricey but for convenience I agree for the service. When the guy saw the seat he realised that the seat is not reversible. He then explain it is usually $60 call out fee but they accept $30. The owner lady over the phone was not pleasant.
I thought this is unfair considering this could easily be resolved over the phone beforehand. I thought they have the model of my capsule car seat on record when they have my mobile number on record at...Read more

Bad Customer Service!
The Capsule King office staff are totally incompetent, rude and can't even book in appointment times or locations correctly. After having one bad experience about 3 months ago I decided to give them a second chance. I booked in a 10 - 12pm time slot to have a baby car seat turned around, which I waited 5 weeks for and was called today to confirm my 2 - 4pm appointment for tomorrow (which I can't make as I have a weekly commitment at this time). I was basically told in a very condescending way that it was my error and they had other customers to take care of. No customer service skills at all!! Don't bother - way too hard, there are other companies that have this service.
Rude, bad service and incompetent staff

Check valve function and installation precautions
Posted by Bundor valve
Check valve function
Check valve is mainly used in the water pump water supply system, the role is to prevent high pressure water backflow on the pump impeller impact.When the water pump in the pump water supply system suddenly stops running, the pressure in the pump disappears instantly, and the high-pressure water connected with the pump outlet will flow back to the pump.The check valve installed at the outlet of the pump will immediately close without medium pressure to prevent the reverse flow of high-pressure water back to the pump.
If no check valve is installed at the pump outlet, the high-pressure water flows back to the pump and the pump impeller reverses under the impact of the high-pressure water.Impellers under the impact of high pressure water, the situation may be serious impeller or other parts loose or damaged.And when the pump runs again, loose or damaged impeller can also fly out, bringing huge safety risks to the production work.
In a hot water system, check valves are used to prevent hot water from flowing back into the line. If no check valve is installed, hot water flowing back into the line may burn the line or even injure people.
Check valve Installation precautions
1.Check valve is a one-way valve, so the installation position, height, inlet and outlet direction must meet the design requirements, the direction of medium flow should be consistent with the direction of the arrow marked by the valve body.
2.Do not allow stop-return valves to bear weight in the line, especially large check valves, which should be independently supported and not affected by the pressure generated in the line.

WASHINGTON D.C. – October 25, 2019 – Ankura, a leading business advisory firm, today announced its recognition as one of the five fastest growing consulting companies for 2019 by Consulting Magazine. The Washington Business Journal also ranked Ankura #8 on its list of Fastest Growing Companies in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Both publications held gala events celebrating award recipients on Thursday, October 24th.
The Consulting Magazine award aims to shine a light on consulting firms making their impact through revenue growth. Firms are ranked according to the percentage growth of their annual revenue over a 36-month period. This is the second consecutive year that Ankura has been recognized in this category, having been ranked #5 in 2019 and #12 in 2018.
The Washington Business Journal's Fastest Growing Companies of 2019 award also recognizes growth over the past three years. Ankura was initially listed in September among the top 75 fastest growing companies in the Greater Washington area, and the final rankings were announced at the awards dinner on October 24th. The WBJ awards program has been running for more than two decades, and this year evaluated approximately 2,000 private, Greater Washington-headquartered companies. To be considered for inclusion, a company had to demonstrate revenue growth for two consecutive years between 2016 and 2018, as well as achieve annual revenue of at least $2 million in 2016 and $10 million in 2018.
Roger Carlile, CEO of Ankura, commented: "Being named among the five Fastest Growing Firms by Consulting Magazine and as one of the top 10 fastest growing companies in the Washington, D.C. area is a real testament to the expertise of our professionals, our clients' confidence in Ankura, and the collaborative approach of our consultants working in a seamless fashion across numerous practice groups. It also demonstrates to the market that we have a truly unique and unmatched service offering that delivers value for our clients."

Lionel Rizki has always been immersed into the local music scene, starting out as a roadie, a music photographer, a VJ and now a DJ!
This will be a night of disco and electronic sounds with groovy beats, horns and synths from the late 70s that is guaranteed to get the dance floor down to boogie.
As a Japanophile, audiences are often treated to the odd city pop single, Shibuya kei track and event themes from recent Nippon productions. Expect Indonesian disco to be included into his selections inspired by his recent rediscovery of his hometown.
ED DIX' abandonment of boundaries and restrictions has led him to refuse sticking to any particular scene or genre.
This very talented producer and selector will put forth a medley of slow-chugging, cosmic-dark disco, psychedelic and body music that'll take you through a spectacular journey of its own.

UPDATED: Governor Patrick Talks Payment Reform: "The next big frontier is payment reform"
UPDATE: In his inaugural speech, the Governor was clear about his vision of health care cost control and payment reform: We can't be satisfied until health care is as affordable as it is accessible. That means creating incentives for all providers to work together to deliver better care at lower cost, improving transparency in the charges for services, reforming the medical malpractice system, and getting excessive paperwork out of the way of the relationship between doctor and patient. It means a new emphasis on wellness and prevention.

DOI's MLR Turn
The Division of Insurance held a hearing this morning on the definition of "medical loss ratio" under Massachusetts law. The DOI released an emergency regulation on October 1st. Medical loss ratio (or MLR) is the percentage of an insurance premium that is spent on medical-related expenses, as contrasted with administrative expenses and profits. Massachusetts' small group health insurance cost containment law, Chapter 288, requires carriers to spend at least 88 percent of each premium dollar on medical-related expenses next year and 90 percent in subsequent years. Carriers who don't meet...

What Will Happen if Cerberus's Gamble Goes Bust?
Last Sunday's Boston Globe lead editorial echoes many of the concerns of consumers across the Commonwealth who are questioning the proposed sale of the Caritas Christi hospital chain to the Wall Street private equity firm Cerberus. While acknowledging that the proposal "sounds good" and would bring capital and jobs to the state, The Globe raises a number of questions that need to be answered before the state moves ahead with the largest conversion of a non-profit hospital chain to a for-profit business in the state's history.

The 6 Best Hiking Trails Around the World For a Hiking Vacation
Some people like to do as little as possible while on vacation. Relaxing on a beach or next to the pool is a dream for some, but not for others.
Visit Denver this Summer vacation to get a closer look on a different city in the United States. Most of cities that are highly visited lie on the East or West coast and only a few cities in between get this much attention.
Usually people want to see the icing on top of the cake and choose the flashiest or most crowded cities in America so they can say they visited all there is to see during their stay. But this couldn't be more wrong. Big cities are usually cosmopolitan area which means they will pretty much have the same features all over the world, plus they combine different cultures.
If you want to spend your Summer vacation in the States and actually visit the heart of America you should try a bit of everything and visit many cities that lie in between the two coasts.
For instance, you can visit Denver the capital of Colorado and one of the fastest growing city in the States right now. If you want to see skyscrapers you are in for a treat since "The Mile-High city" as it is called has plenty of them and it is also very tall, standing proud at 5.280 feet above the sea level.
The city is situated in the Great Plains right before the Rocky Mountains start. There will be plenty to do and see in Denver especially since you can also take day trips to the mountains nearby if you feel like getting away from the crowded city life.

Guentzel scores in OT, Penguins beat Flames 3-2

- Penguins trade F Hornqvist to Panthers

- Sharks retain Bob Boughner as coach
By DAN SCIFO
PITTSBURGH (AP) Penguins coach Mike Sullivan thought Alex Galchenyuk was working hard, even during a 14-game goal drought to start his tenure in Pittsburgh.
It finally paid off Monday night.
Galchenyuk scored his first goal with the Penguins and Jake Guentzel beat David Rittich on a rush 4:04 into overtime to lift Pittsburgh over the Calgary Flames 3-2 Monday night.
"The first one is a bit of a relief for him," Sullivan said. "He works extremely hard, he's one of our hardest-working guys in practice and he puts a lot of pressure on himself to help us win. We're thrilled for him."
Jared McCann scored his ninth goal for the Penguins. He and Galchenyuk also had assists, helping Pittsburgh get a point for the 11th time in 13 games - eight of those 13 have gone to overtime.
Tristan Jarry stopped 32 shots and has allowed two goals or fewer in six of seven games.
"For whatever reason, it didn't seem like we had a lot of jump, especially early in the game," Sullivan said. "Tristan was big for us. He made some timely saves."
Dillon Dube scored his first of the season for Calgary and second NHL goal. Sean Monahan added his sixth on a power play as the Flames lost for the seventh time in eight games.
Calgary snapped a six-game losing streak Saturday with a shootout win at Philadelphia but couldn't make it two in a row. The Flames have been outscored 28-9 in their past eight games with three shutouts after winning four of their previous five. Rittich stopped 35 shots.
"I thought we had a good first period, took the lead, had some good chances," Flames forward Johnny Gaudreau said. "They kind of pushed back and I think we pushed back at the end of the second into the third period. A lot of chances both ways ... just didn't get the extra point."
Jarry stopped Gaudreau on a breakaway prior to Guentzel's overtime goal. Guentzel has points in 11 of Pittsburgh's 14 home games and a goal in six of its last seven at home. He's scored in a career-best five straight home games.
"I just tried to use the defenseman as a screen," Guentzel said. "I'm glad it went in."
Dube opened the scoring at 7:34 of the first period when his blocker-side wrist shot from below the left circle beat Jarry.
Galchenyuk tied it at 11:49. Dominik Kahun put a shot on goal off the rush, and the rebound came to Galchenyuk in the slot. The Penguins acquired Galchenyuk - a former 30-goal scorer - from Arizona in June for productive wing Phil Kessel.
"Obviously, every season you go through slumps," Galchenyuk said. "Last year, I went through 17 games, but this time was harder because you want to get the first one with the new team. I'm happy to get that over with now."
Kessel was an important piece to Pittsburgh's run to consecutive Stanley Cups in 2016 and '17, but he was traded to Arizona for Galchenyuk as part of an offseason shakeup after the Penguins were swept by the New York Islanders in the opening round of the playoffs last spring.
Flames general manager Brad Treliving says the team is looking into an accusation that head coach Bill Peters directed racial slurs toward a Nigerian-born hockey player a decade ago in the minor leagues, then arranged for the player's demotion when he complained. Akim Aliu posted the claims on Twitter on Monday, suggesting the incident happened in the Chicago Blackhawks system when Peters coached there during the 2009-10 season.
Peters did not speak to reporters after the game. Treliving said the Flames "take these matters very, very seriously" and "will address it and get back to you people once we have a chance to speak internally."
NOTES: Penguins D Kris Letang, a five-time All-Star, returned after missing eight games with a lower-body injury. ... Flames D T.J. Brodie was back in the lineup. He missed five games after collapsing during practice Nov. 14. Calgary sent Brandon Davidson to Stockton of the American Hockey League. ... Gaudreau passed Lanny McDonald for 12th on the franchise points list with an assist on Monahan's goal that gave him 407 points. ... Flames F Matthew Tkachuk registered his first point in six games after opening the season with 20 points in 21 games.
Flames: Finish a four-game trip Wednesday night at Buffalo.
Penguins: Close a three-game homestand Wednesday night against Vancouver.

OROVILLE — An emergency ordinance put in place by the Butte County Board of Supervisors after the Camp Fire made amendments to development code for those living in transitory homes after their own were destroyed.
The amendment waived the need to meet water, sewage and electricity hookup standards. This ordinance is currently set to expire Dec. 31.
However, an extension for the ordinance will go before the board Tuesday which would push the sunset date back to July 31, 2020.
During Tuesday's meeting, the Butte County Board of Supervisors is expected to make multiple appointments and reappointments to various boards and committees.
The groups include:
- the Behavioral Health Board;
- In-Home Supportive Services Advisory Committee;
- Butte Subbasin Advisory Board;
- Durham Mosquito Abatement District;
- and the Oroville Cemetery District.
A local appointment list can be found at www.buttecounty.net/clerkoftheboard/appoinmentslist.
Other business
Due to the minimum wage rising to $13 per hour starting Jan. 1, there will be a fiscal impact on the county and job classifications will have to be made to comply with the law.
County staff will be asking the board to approve some budgetary changes to ensure employees are paid the proper amount.
The Board of Supervisors will vote on whether to authorize going out to bid on a construction project to restore part of Hegan Lane. The total price tag for the project comes out to $2,200,000.
Two retirements will be recognized during the consent agenda. Tim Snellings, who has worked a total of 35 years in public service and 14 years with Butte County, will be retiring Dec. 27. Snellings was the county's Development Services Director.
Jerry Jones of the Butte County Sheriff"s Office will also be retiring Dec. 27. Jones has worked with Butte County for 29 years.
The Butte County Board of Supervisors generally meets every second and fourth Tuesday of the month. Meetings are held at 25 County Center Dr. in Oroville and are open to the public.

I'm leading today's news with a story in the Mail which might interest Kippers.
Nigel Farage has struck a secret deal with embattled Ukip leader Henry Bolton designed to pave the way for his return to frontline politics, party sources have claimed.
Under the plan, Mr Bolton – who is refusing to resign over his relationship with glamour model Jo Marney – would rip up the party's management structure before standing aside for Mr Farage to return.
In return, Mr Bolton would be rewarded with a senior job by Mr Farage, who would then rebrand the party as a pro- hard-Brexit 'movement' – potentially with a new name.
The plan, which sources say Mr Farage has confided to friends, would explain why Mr Bolton, 54, has stayed in his job despite a vote of no confidence being passed by Ukip's ruling body last weekend and mass resignations by the party's spokespeople.
The Telegraph claims the Brexit negotiations are now in the hands of the 'Sir Humphreys'.
Mandarins opposed to Britain's withdrawal from the EU have "taken control" of the Brexit agenda and are "forcing a weak Prime Minister" into a soft Brexit, senior government figures and MPs have warned.
In a dramatic intensification of the war within the Conservative Party, Eurosceptics said that Philip Hammond's declaration last week that Brexit would be "very modest" appeared to articulate No 10's "direction of travel" on negotiations.
A Cabinet source warned that Britain faced a "betrayal of Brexit" unless Theresa May reined in Sir Jeremy Heywood, the Cabinet Secretary, and Oliver Robbins, the co-ordinator of negotiations with the EU. David Jones, the former Brexit minister, said: "It's time No 10 indicated who's boss."
The Express is one of those papers quoting ardent Brexiteer Jacob Rees-Mogg.
JACOB REES-MOGG has hit out at Brexit negotiators who are putting the UK on a path towards what he claims is 'Brexit in name only', which will likely hand the keys of Downing Street to Jeremy Corbyn.
The outcome, which Mr Rees-Mogg has dubbed Brino, issued a start warning to the Prime Minister saying: "The less of Brexit you get, the more likely you are to get Jeremy Corbyn."
The MP for North East Somerset, who is now chairman of the influential European Research Group of backbench Tory Eurosceptics, told Theresa May "the leader is important, the party is more important".
He added: "If you get a good, clean Brexit and get the advantages from it then the chances of getting Jeremy Corbyn are much diminished.
The backbencher is also quoted in the Mail.
Jacob Rees-Mogg has warned Theresa May she must deliver a 'good, clean Brexit' that removes Britain from the clutches of the European Union – or risk the prospect of Jeremy Corbyn becoming the next Prime Minister.
The newly-appointed leader of the eurosceptic European Reform Group, made up of 60 backbench Tory MPs, outlined his own vision for leaving the EU.
And now the man who is favourite among bookies to become the next Tory leader is hoping the Prime Minister backs the Brexit which Britons voted for – instead of 'Brino' – Brexit In Name Only.
Mr Rees-Mogg said: 'The less of Brexit you get, the more likely you are to get Jeremy Corbyn. If you get a good, clean Brexit and get the advantages from it then the chances of getting Jeremy Corbyn are much diminished.
And a former cabinet minister is also quoted on what Mr Rees-Mogg has christened 'Brino' – Brexit in name only – says BBC News.
The UK is heading towards "a dilution of Brexit", former cabinet minister Theresa Villiers has said.
The Conservative MP, writing in the Sunday Telegraph, said there was "a real danger" the UK will sign up to an agreement with Brussels which could "keep us in the EU in all but name".
Her comments come amid growing Tory party rifts over Brexit.
Backbenchers criticised Philip Hammond this week for saying changes to UK-EU relations could be "very modest".
Ms Villiers, who campaigned for a Leave vote in the EU referendum, said she had long "made the case for compromise and moderation" in the government's approach to negotiating Brexit.
But, she wrote, since the prime minister "set out a bold vision" a year ago, "the direction of travel seems to have gone in only one single direction: towards a dilution of Brexit".
Pressure is growing on the Prime Minister, says the Express.
SENIOR Brexiteers have urged the Prime Minister to call the EU's bluff and accept the "Canada-style deal" Brussels is said to be happy with.
Leave campaigners are calling on the Government to agree a similar deal to the CETA (Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement) agreed between Canada and the EU.
A letter to the Prime Minister – backed by senior figures from politics, business, economics, academia and the military – warns "the clock is ticking and we are approaching the last moment at which business can properly prepare for Brexit".
The open letter also calls on the Government to prepare for global trade under WTO (World Trade Organisation) rules from March 2019, in case a Canada-style deal cannot be agreed by October.
Moving to Canada-style trade deal would cover 98 per cent of goods and 92 per cent of agriculture.
Crucially, it would remove the need for any "transition period", meaning the UK could enjoy the benefits of Brexit from the end of March 2019.
And the Guardian reports that Mrs May has received a letter from some of her senior members.
Senior Tories have given Theresa May just three months to improve or face a renewed attempt to oust her, amid concerns she is leading the party towards "utter destruction".
In a sign of the fragility of the prime minister's leadership after another week of cabinet infighting, figures inside the party said that a disastrous performance in May's local elections could trigger a no-confidence vote.
There are concerns they will produce a Tory meltdown in London. "There's definitely been a further shift against her," said one ex-minister. "If people could wave a magic wand tomorrow, she would be gone … if we get wiped out in London, then more will say things cannot get any better under her. The alternatives would be the utter destruction of the Tory party or a chaotic leadership election, which would at least offer some way out."
Several of the media report a British proposal to extend the transition period. The Telegraph reports:
British officials are in discussions with Brussels about extending the Brexit transition period to almost three years, The Telegraph has learnt.
The official Government target for transition is "around two years" but many senior Whitehall officials remain privately concerned about the practicality of such a short transition, given potentially massive changes that would be required by a "hard" Brexit.
The Telegraph understands that although it is not formally Government policy, Britain has discreetly begun sounding out senior EU figures over whether transition could be extended amid growing disarray within the Cabinet over the ultimate terms of a long-term deal with the EU.
Theresa May has faced a series of challenges from senior Government figures in recent days and is braced for another testy Cabinet session on Monday over the Brexit strategy.
The Independent also has the story.
The UK's Brexit negotiators are considering asking the EU for a longer transition period than the one they have been offered, amid concerns it will not be long enough to prepare the country for exit.
The possibility of a longer transition comes amid increasing discontent from the Tory right about the period as an EU "vassal state", and with negotiations on the issue set to start in earnest in the coming weeks.
A Brussels source told The Independent that British officials had asked about the feasibility of extending the period in a recent meeting, while UK diplomats admitted that it might need to stretch beyond the start of 2021 and would not rule out pushing for a later date in upcoming talks.
Some experts and EU countries have called for the transition to be as long as five years. Ireland's then foreign minister Simon Coveney said in November that a two-year transition period was "unrealistic" and that the duration should not be set "to meet some kind of political electoral cycle". Labour Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell has also suggested "three or four years".
And the Sun blames civil servants.
WHITEHALL's EU-loving mandarins are plotting to extend Britain's Brexit transition period by a year, government sources have warned.
Senior civil servants are said to be conspiring with their European counterparts to keep Britain bound by Brussels red tape until 2021 at the earliest.
Top Tory Jacob Rees-Mogg blasted: "Brexit is more important than anyone other than the Queen.
He told The Telegraph: "If everything is delayed for two years and then there's high alignment you will find that by 2022 no-one will have noticed any difference from having left.
"Then what will be the point of voting for the party that's implemented it? I'm against 'Brino' (Brexit in name only)."
But Westmonster reports a 'categorical denial' of such suggestions.
There are rumblings that the British government is already looking to extend the so-called 'implementation/transition period' that will see open borders, EU laws and an inability to enact trade deals go on until at least 2021 and possibly beyond.
That's according to The Telegraph, with a push apparently to extend the period of basically no change in EU membership beyond 2021.
Now the British government are categorically denying that they have approached the European Union asking for an extension.
Some have described the story as "EU black ops".
But it shows once again the dangers of dither and delay. 2021 easily becomes 2022…and the public actually never get what they voted for. Full control of borders, money and laws. Time for the government to get on with it.
The Times claims some former ministers are looking to jump on the gravy train.
Former cabinet ministers have been exposed attempting to profit from a new cash for Brexit gravy train in Westminster, following an undercover investigation.
Lord Lansley, the former health secretary, was secretly filmed offering to use his knowledge and connections from within Westminster to provide "intelligence" on Brexit to a Chinese company offering him tens of thousands of pounds.
The peer, who has previously been accused of "ripping the heart" out of a bill to regulate lobbying, showed he was willing to pick up information from a key Brexit cabinet minister. He advised how the deal could be kept secret from the authorities by employing him through his wife's company.
Child refugees are highlighted in the Mail.
An agreement between Theresa May and Emmanuel Macron has sparked optimism among charities working to move child refugees to safer locations.
The prime minister and French president struck a deal that means children fleeing wars who arrived in Europe before last Friday may have their cases considered under the Dubs amendment, which could give youngsters travelling alone a legal route into the UK.
Before the agreement reached at last week's summit in Sandhurst, child refugees had to have arrived in Europe prior to March last year in order to be accepted under the Dubs scheme, according to the Guardian.
This meant many who fled conflict for a better life in France, Germany or Italy were ineligible for consideration.
It seems the bloc is preparing for 'no deal', says the Telegraph.
The European Union is beefing up its preparations for a 'no deal' Brexit, more than doubling the number of officials devoted to preparing for a breakdown in the talks, the Sunday Telegraph has learned.
EU sources said the number of officials in the European Commission secretariat focussing on preparations for either a 'no deal' scenario or a 'hard Brexit' would expand from eight to 20 as concerns mount in Europe over whether Theresa May can deliver.
The decision to grow the unit was in part a reflection of growing anxiety in Brussels that political divisions in the UK may make a deal impossible, EU sources said, particularly given the UK's commitments to avoid a hard border in Northern Ireland.
And the truth about Barnier comes out in the Express.
MICHEL Barnier has no interest in securing a good Brexit deal with the UK and is instead determined to punish the country for daring to quit the bloc, a German MEP has warned.
Hans-Olaf Henkel said a bad deal for Britain, or even a no deal situation, is Mr Barnier's "best tool" for avoiding another EU exit.
And Mr Henkel warned Mr Barnier had "tactical and strategic" reasons for wanting to avoid a good deal, a day after the EU's chief Brexit negotiator sent Britain a warning.
Earlier this week Mr Barnier gloatingly told the Spanish parliament every single EU member state, along with several other regional parliaments, could veto the final Brexit deal.
The following day Mr Henkel told Express.co.uk he believed Mr Barnier was tricking the UK into thinking it could ever secure a good exit deal.
Conservative Party
Mrs May faces continuing problems with her leadership, says the Times.
The battle to succeed Theresa May erupted into fresh acrimony last night as top Tories traded blows over whether Gavin Williamson leaked intelligence last week to distract attention from an extramarital "flirtation".
Security chiefs attacked the defence secretary as "alarmist" for claiming Russia could kill thousands of British citizens in a cyber-attack and accused him of using secret information provided by American spies to cover himself.
However, the allegations sparked an extraordinary row in which Williamson accused his rivals for the Tory leadership of black ops to derail his campaign to succeed May as prime minister.
And the Independent reports a prediction that the Tories will lose heavily in this year's locals.
Theresa May will hold talks with her top team on how to head off major losses in the upcoming local elections, as one of the country's top pollsters warned Brexit could hit Tory electoral chances.
Elections expert Sir John Curtice, who predicted last year's shock election result, said the Conservatives could lose more than half of their London boroughs in the May elections, which are being fought mostly in Labour heartlands or Remain-voting areas like the capital.
Cabinet ministers will meet on Tuesday to discuss how to avoid a poor showing at the polls, The Independent understands, in a sign of mounting fears that a disastrous set of results could cost Ms May her job.
It comes amid growing disillusionment over the Prime Minister's leadership among backbenchers after a chaotic reshuffle and continued shifts on Brexit policy, with reports that a string of MPs are gearing up to topple her.
The Tories could lose at least half of their London boroughs, as its young population and pro-European views leave it vulnerable to Labour, Sir John told The Independent.
Labour Party
Labour is faring little better, says the Times.
Most Labour council leaders in England and Wales have signed a joint letter fiercely attacking the Momentum-controlled committee that runs their own party.
In the letter, published exclusively in today's Sunday Times, leaders of almost 70 councils, including Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle and many London boroughs, say the actions of Labour's ruling national executive committee (NEC) are "dangerous and alarming", "uncomradely and disrespectful" and "an affront to the basic principles of democracy".
Earlier this month, the NEC acquired a secure pro-Corbyn and Momentum majority after three members of the hard-left group, including its leader, Jon Lansman, won seats on the body.
In an attempt to win votes, Labour has announced plans to tackle homelessness, says the Mirror.
Plans for thousands of new homes to tackle the crisis of homelessness have been announced by Labour.
Rough sleeping has more than doubled since 2010 and is up 73 per cent in the last three years alone, say Government figures released this week.
The number of children in temporary accommodation has risen 70 per cent to over 120,000.
Labour is announcing it will make 8,000 affordable homes available for people with a history of sleeping on the streets – double the number previously promised.
Under the proposal, an incoming Labour government would strike a deal with housing associations to make the homes available immediately as they fall vacant.
In this way, the homes for rough sleepers will become available much more quickly than if they were built from scratch.
Away from politics, the Mail has a story about a taxpayer-subsidised jolly for doctors.
Hundreds of senior NHS doctors enjoyed a taxpayer-subsidised conference at a luxury Alpine ski resort last week – while the health service was in the grip of its worst winter crisis in years.
As thousands of patients had their operations cancelled and A&E departments overflowed, the doctors competed in a slalom race and knocked back champagne and cocktails at a gala reception.
The 400 specialists, including anaesthetists, surgeons and radiologists, were in the high-class French resort of Val d'Isere for a medical conference as part of their 'continuing professional development'. But after attending breakfast lectures from 8am until 9.30am, they had seven hours free each day to explore the expansive pistes and breathtaking mountain views.
At 4.45pm they returned for two-and-a-half hours of lectures on anaesthesia, radiology, general practice, orthopaedics, plastic surgery and dermatology before heading out to savour the delights of the resort's famous apres-ski.
Council tax
With the cap on council tax rises scrapped, the Telegraph claims we'll all be paying more this year.
The majority of households face council tax rises this year, the country's most senior local authority leader warns today, as councils across the country prepare to capitalise on the Conservatives' relaxation of a cap on bills.
Writing for telegraph.co.uk, Lord Porter, the Tory peer who chairs the Local Government Association, says he expects that "the majority will have little choice" but to increase bills in April to protect services amid a £2.3 billion "funding gap" in the social care system.
Research by The Sunday Telegraph shows that a series of local authorities have already decided to increase bills by a new maximum amount of six per cent, with hikes of up to £80, after ministers lifted the cap from 5 per cent in December Lord Porter warns ministers to invest more in social care instead of "skewing" funding towards the NHS.
Domestic nuclear power
The Times has an interesting story about local nuclear reactors.
Britons could be taking showers and warming homes with hot water piped directly from a nuclear reactor, under proposals to build small atomic power stations in cities.
Urban nuclear reactors, similar in size to those in nuclear submarines, could generate not only electricity but also hot water, suggests a report by Policy Exchange, a think tank.
The paper reflects government thinking, as the National Nuclear Laboratory has already drawn up plans for a first "small modular reactor" at Trawsfynydd in north Wales. The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy has also supported the idea.
Police dog Finn
And the Mail has a heartwarming story about a hero police dog, written by his handler.
The target raced into view, running full pelt from the alley. Was this the suspected armed robber we were searching for? 'Police!' I yelled. 'Stop!' He ignored me – but my eight-year-old German shepherd Finn now had him in his sights.
The suspect was a young man, slim and athletic, with his right arm hanging oddly, which I realised was because he was holding something – it looked suspiciously like a police baton. He was armed.
'Police officer with a dog! Stop! Stop or I'll send the dog!' Again my warning was ignored. I let Finn go. As the man tried to scramble over a fence, Finn took hold of his lower leg in his mouth and pulled until the suspect was face-down on the grass.
The man then suddenly flipped on to his back. I took hold of Finn's collar and told the suspect: 'You need to listen to me. You need to stop fighting my dog.'
Suddenly, something caught my eye. It was a massive piece of dark metal which he appeared to be pulling from Finn's chest. It was covered in blood. It was a knife – as thick as a ruler. It was ridiculously huge, like a hunting knife – the blade alone must have been 10in long.
