Arsene Wenger faced with key calls ahead of FA Cup final
Arsenal 2 - Reading 1
Much of the FA Cup's magic lies in its history but the protagonists are always looking forward. Within minutes of Saturday's semi-final, Arsene Wenger was pondering the final, his defeated counterpart, Steve Clarke, thinking of next season.
For Arsenal and Wenger, who left out enough fine players to make a decent starting XI, the big issue will be team selection.
"You want everybody to be happy, but leaving people out is part of the job," said Wenger. "The most important part is to get results, for the fans and everybody involved with the club. The majority dominates the minority."
Wenger, who could have Mikel Arteta and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain available too come the final, added: "They all want to play in the final; it is better than any doctor."
Not everyone who started at Wembley made a case for doing so next month. Arsenal dominated possession but struggled to penetrate a well-organised Reading.
Danny Welbeck, who often flourishes at Wembley for England, was stifled, while Aaron Ramsey seemed lost on the wing. Arsenal were more threatening when he moved inside and Olivier Giroud led the attack, but they still needed a horrendous error by Reading goalkeeper Adam Federici to progress.
Arsenal took the lead just before half-time through a fine goal from Chilean star Alexis Sanchez.
Reading, however, drew level just nine minutes after the interval when Gareth McCleary's volley was deflected past Wojciech Szczesny, who could only palm the ball across the line.
The tie went to extra-time and Federici allowed a low, angled shot from Sanchez to slip through his legs and roll over the line in the 115th minute.
Federici was inconsolable but Clarke and his players stood by him after his costly blunder.
"He's one of the best goalkeepers around and every goalkeeper makes a mistake," said Reading's captain, Jem Karacan. "He was probably man of the match up to that point. He's been unbelievable this season."
Clarke added: "The life of a goalkeeper is that when you make the big, big mistake everyone sees it and it's normally a goal because you are the last man."
A sympathetic Wenger said: "A goalkeeper that doesn't make mistakes doesn't exist. You can tell him that (defeat) was not only down to him but time helps better than any manager.
"Some carry that their whole life and some recover quickly and forget about it. He should be comforted about the fact he had a great game."
Federici is one of eight first-team players out of contract at the end of the campaign and whose future at Reading is uncertain. The club will still receive a parachute payment next season of around £9m but after a promotion, a relegation, three managers and three owners since spring 2012, a clearout seems likely.
"There is a lot of work to be done in the summer," said Clarke.
The manager, who arrived in December, added: "You see the support. You see the catchment area. You see the level of performance from the team. It shows you (the Premier League) is possible.
"For some reason they have lost their way a little bit this season but the size of the club, the academy, the facilities, they are all Premier League.
"It's my job to ensure that we are competitive at the business end of the Championship next year."

Lesson from a Golf Ball
Professional versus Amateur
The Backstory
Well, Spring is trying to come, but Winter is holding on strong. Even still, the color of green is starting to explode in Ohio, as the leaves open, grass gets mowed, and the weeds begin to push their way through the gravel driveway. What this also means is that warm-weather sports are back on!
Even though golf can be played year-round depending on where you are on the planet, the prime-time season is just starting. Golf is an interesting game, because like many other things, it looks so easy to do when you see someone on TV at The Masters go for a shot 120 yards away and get the ball within inches of the hole. Really?! It's so much harder and frustrating when I try to do that.
What golf comes down to is hitting a small, white ball with a steel rod a few hundred yards into a small hole. Challenging? Yes. Fun? Well, the tee off shot is, at least! While the game has many, many variables that impact performance results, there is no game without… the ball.
The Object
The design of the golf ball is an under-estimated and under-appreciated engineering feat that allows people to hit further and play more accurately, or in my case, accuracy doesn't matter and I end up in the mulch bed of a landscaped hillside.
You might be thinking, "Would you rather be in a sand trap?" "Yes. Yes I would." I'd be really lucky to be there!
When it comes to golf, I play once a year, and that's if I'm lucky. When people ask me, "Do you play golf?," my response is, "I CAN play golf." Normally when someone asks that question, they are assuming that when you say, "Yes.," it means you play regularly or enjoy playing the sport. Don't get me wrong… I know HOW to play; I like watching the major tournaments; and I am knowledgeable enough to talk the talk; but have you noticed the where the ball is located in the photos I took for this story?
The Difference
Usually photos of golf balls are taken in the nicely manicured fairway grass or neatly placed next to the hole on the green… not here! When I play, the ball rarely finds itself in lying where its supposed to be. I like the play the ENTIRE course. Stopping many places along the way gets me my money's worth.
An amateur may get flustered, but a professional golfer looks at the situation and figures out what is necessary to get through it or out of it.
If it was me, I'd use my favorite club… the "foot wedge."
Whether lying good in the fairway or in rough trouble, the professional aims for the hole or sets up their next shot to shoot for the flag. They go for the win. They go directly for the goal. They study the environment they are given — lay of the land, weather, tools, etc. — and then apply their experience to make magic happen. The ball. In the hole. Incredible. [mic drop]
Professionals shoot for the pin; amateurs shoot for the green.
The Lesson
That's the difference between a professional and an amateur. My goal in golf of aiming for the green is much broader and easier to hit; it's more of a direction than anything else.
While that's where I have to start, I eventually have to go the next step and set the next goal… hitting the ball into the hole. Managing layers of achievement. Motivation. Setting tough, but achievable smaller goals that lead toward a more lofty goal will increase the chances of achieving the big, audacious goal.
Wins along the way are necessary; otherwise, we'd all give up before we became professionals at anything.
The Take-aways
- Be the "professional" of your own life.
- Break down the big goal and get your direction set.
- Work the situation you're in and set up your next shot.
- No one is born a professional at anything.
- Write down your bucket list.
I'm sure there are many more lessons that can be derived from the golf ball and probably from many different angles. Think about what the "golf ball" is in your life or career. How you are you going to play the ball?
Close only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades, as the old cliche goes. But when it comes to playing golf and going for the flag, I'd be better off throwing the ball with my arm.

64bit RPM installation is failing on SLES-10/11 but working fine on RHEL4/5 64bit os
I have created a Storage RPM for 64bit architecture and the rpm name is storage-x.yy-z.x64.rpm.
RPM is created on RHEL4 x86_64 bit OS (RHEL 64bit system is used to build this RPM).This RPM can be successfully installed on RHEL4 and RHEL5 x86_64 bit OS and libraries are working as expected.
But the same RPM when I try to install on SLES-10 and SLES-11 x86_64 bit OS installation is failing with below error message.
Package storage-x.yy-z.x64.rpm is intended for x64 architecture
Please let me know if anyone faced the same issue or any one has idea why the rpm installation is is failing on SLES10/11 bit systems but working on RHEL4/5 64 bit systems.
Currently the work around is to use the rpm installation command with -ignorearch option and which is working fine.
Can you try renaming the rpm from storage-x.yy-z.x64.rpm to storage-x.yy-z.x86_64.rpm ?
x64 and x86_64 are different things AFAICT.
Hi chiragrk,
That is working, i even created RPM with x86_64 extension, it is working.
But my question is why the rpm with .x64 extension is working on RHEL flavors but not on SLES flavors.
Thanks for your response once again.

text: While in Souderton today for a doctor's appt. and to bring a Turtle Pecan Latte (from Main St. Java) to my daughter at work at Univest Bank, I saw that the old Caboose Grille now had a new name. I went inside to pick up a menu and had a lovely conversation with Alan - the owner and two of his wait staff, Kelsey and Stephanie. Alan is a Vince Vaughn look-a-like and was more than willing to give me a little overview of his new place. They are open for breakfast and lunch Mon-Sun 7 a.m. - 2 p.m. Dinners are served on Fri-Sat from 4:30 - 10:30 p.m. Nice wooden tables and wooden floor inside the old station and several outside patio tables available which are shaded by the train station overhang. Lunch and breakfast menu consists of the basic breakfast and lunch fare, but I was intrigued by the "Lost in Italy" burger that Alan said was named for a burger he ate while literally "lost at the side of the road in Tuscany". The dinner menu varies based on what meat and produce are available that week from local vendors. Alan did mention that he usually has Squash Lasagne as one of the featured weekend entrees - especially during the Summer months. Prices looked very affordable. LOVE LOVE LOVE the new Farm-to-Table restaurants that are so popular now. The Local is a BYOB and is located at the intersection of Main St. and Route 113 in Souderton right next door to the Univest bank HQ. Plan to go for dinner in a few weeks. Wish this weekend wasn't so busy. Will report back once I get to experience this lovely new place. Let me know if any other CHOWS try it in the meantime. Chow for Now.

Why AAP Will Be No Different From BJP Or Congress If It 'Goes National'
The idea held on to by some is that AAP's victory in Delhi can be replicated everywhere in India. This is essentially the idea that localness can be spread from one locus, which is absurd. No, localness has to be grown locally; it cannot be exported or imported. Closeness to the ground is directly proportionate to the population over which a political party operates.

Coasters - Set of 4 - Assorted Colors
Tintsaba weaving is recognized as world class, transcending the traditional craft into gallery art. The master weavers patterns emerge from the creativity of the women themselves –finely hand spun sisal.
Products are woven from sisal, using a fine coiling technique. All steps of production are carried out by hand, including cleaning, dyeing and spinning the sisal. A time-consuming art, a 7 inch diameter basket takes 30 hours to weave.
Tintsaba centers on the use of sisal the creation of all its refined handmade items. The preparation of the raw material involves little water and no chemicals. The environmentally safe dyes and dye pots are specially designed to use wood fuel to its fullest potential and the wood used is waste from a sawmill using exotic timber. There is also a soak away to catch any minute bits of dye or vinegar that is used as a fixative.

History Of Wallasey Churches
This is an on-going subject that I am currently working on for my site and will be posted in parts over the coming months.
Moreton & Leasowe
Christ Church
Christ Church on Upton Road, Moreton, was built in 1863 and replaced an earlier religious building called Chapel of Rest which had been pulled down in 1690. The local landowner, Thomas Webster of Overchurch Hill, Upton, gave the land for the building of a new Anglican church and William Inman of Upton Manor, whose Inman Shipping Line transported passengers and emigrants to America, donated £8,000 to cover the costs of the building of the church, the vicarage as well as the school which opened later on Hoylake Road in 1861. The design of the church, which has a tower about 100 feet tall, was designed by Messrs Cunningham and Audsley. The first minister of Christ Church was Revd. Matthew Fearsley M.A who served the Parish for 34 years. The old rectory, which once stood to the rear of the church near where Chadwick Street is now, was demolished in 1922 because it became uninhabitable due to damp.
The Sacred Heart Church
Before the opening of the church Catholics had to travel to the nearest church of St. Josephs, Upton, for mass, but from 1921 to 1923 Provost Barry began mass each Sunday in an old café by Moreton shore known as 'City Caterer's Cafe'. It was first and foremost a café but during the week, part of it was used as a school. Finally a new church was erected in Upton Road in 1923 on a former field at the bottom where Marion Drive is today. The church cost £1,200, which was raised through public subscription, and it was designed by Bishop Singleton who was the Bishop of Shrewsbury. The first minister was the Revd. W. Griffin who served from 1923 to 1930. He was held in high regards and Griffin Road was named after him.
When Father Peter Gerard took over he realised there was a growing need for a school and organised fund raising events such as "Donkey Derby' with leading jockey's of the day including Gordon Richards. This was proved to be successful that the 'Sacred Heart School' was built in 1934 at a cost of £10,000 and was opened by Bishop Moriarty.
In 1955 the church was demolished and a new rustic brick design with a tower was built on the former site of Smith's Farm. The foundation stone was laid on 25th June 1955. The Church then re-opened on 26th June 1957 and cost £42,000. The Right Revd. John A. Murphy presided at the opening together with the Bishop of Shrewsbury.
Moreton Presbyterian Church
The Presbyterian Church is the second oldest church in Moreton, the first being the Parish Church in Upton Road. It began in 1905 when the first service was held in the upper room of the Assembly Rooms which stood at the rear of the old Plough Inn. The service was held by the Revd. J. Calvin Thomas who was assisted by Lay preachers. It became quite popular and it was decided to build a chapel, so a fund was started. After enough money was raised the land was purchased on the corner of Knutsford Road and Hoylake Road. The foundation stone was laid on 7th February, 1906. The chapel was completed at a cost of £800 and opened on 15th June, 1906 by Mr W.H Lever, later Lord Leverhulme. The first minister of the new church was the Revd. R. Lewis Powell from 1907 to 1936.
After the Second World War the population of Moreton grew rapidly, and the church membership grew rapidly also. The chapel became too small, so it was decided to raise funds for a new chapel. As their was still plenty of room on the land that was purchased in 1906 it was decided to build the new chapel on the same site. The foundation stone was laid on 6th February, 1926 and the Chapel opened later that year, the total cost being £3,007. In 1937 the Chapel was extended and a new memorial window was unveiled which was dedicated to the late Revd. R. Lewis Powell. The extension cost £2,040 and the original chapel was used as the Church Hall.
Moreton Methodist Church
Methodism did not begin in Moreton until 1948. The first service was held on 4th July 1948 and was heard at the 'Church among the trees' and was known as Hillcrest Mission. The site was situated on a plot of land that was at the back of Burrell Drive and at the end of Childwall Avenue. Regular morning meetings were held from July 1952 and on 26th July 1953 services were held in the newly-built hall in Pasture Road. The Methodist Church was opened on 18th September 1954 . These buildings were called the Poulton Road Memorial Church and cost £45,000 to build - most of the money coming from the War Damage Compensation Seacombe as the original Methodist Church was situated on Poulton Road but was destroyed by an air-raid in the Second World War and demolished in 1944.
Moreton Baptist Church
In 1926 Mr W. Holdsworth, Mr J.E Hendley and Mr W.P Williams started the Baptist Church initially with a meeting of other like minded people at the Presbyterian Church in Moreton as it was the only Free church in the area. The group, which also included their respected families, began to slowly grow in size and it was agreed to establish a Baptist Church in Moreton. A site was purchased on the corner of Doreen Avenue and Hoylake Road and was purchased for £600 on the 27th May 1927 and the site dedicated on Saturday, 1st October, 1927 at an open air service. Temporary headquarters were needed and found at the Victory Hall (now the British Legion) in Pasture Road. After the Hall was deemed unsafe in November 1928 the Baptists moved to Upton Road but it was proved inadequate so it was decided by the congregation that it was time to build a church of their own. After acquiring a mortgage of £450 the new church was built and opened for service on 8th November 1930.
It was soon realised that more room was required and a new chapel was proposed on 3rd July 1935. The foundation stone was laid on 28th September 1935 and the new Chapel opened on 11th April 1938 next to the original church. The total cost of the new Chapel was £1,577. The Chapel was built by Sam Burrows and Sons. The original church was pulled down in 1965. By 1975 there was a need for a larger chapel as the congregation had grown to over two hundred. A new chapel was built in Doreen Avenue (at the back of the old one) at a cost of approximately £10,000.
St. Chad's
The foundation stone of St. Chad's Hall-cum-Church, situated on Twickenham Drive in Leasowe, was laid on 15th May 1954 by the Secretary of the Building Committee, H M Alderson-Smith. The building opened in June 1955 and cost £13,590. 1s. 1d - the cost was met by the local congregation and was paid for on 11th October 1958 after four years. The dedication of the Altar was performed on 4th June 1955 by the Right Revd, G. A Ellison. The first organ was brought on 11th October 1955 for £20. Rector Revd. Edwards of Moreton took the service, with others on a rotation basis until they found someone else more permanent.
The curate to Revd. Edwards, the Revd. R. Jeacock, was proposed, but the Bishop had someone else in mind. The parishioners objected strongly; thus Revd. R. Jeacock got the position when he was ordained. A house was purchased for the Reverend for £500 in August 1956 and was sited on Reeds Lane by the River Birket and called 'Birketside'.
The Hall-cum-Church had a screen at the back which was raised on Sundays to reveal the Altar. When it was lowered it reversed to a Hall which was used for all activities.
It was decided to form a Church Building Committee with the intention of erecting a new Church. The Committee was formed in November 1956 and a Building Fund Account was opened at the Midland Bank in November 1957. On 16th May 1961, permission was asked for and given by the Pastoral Committee with a £7,000 loan from the Diocese. By then they had over £5,000 in the Building Fund so things moved on. A Contract was signed on 6th September 1965 with the builders. The foundation stone was laid on Sunday, 1st May 1966 by the Lord Bishop of Chester, Right Revd. G.A Ellison. The consecration was on 6th May 1967 which was also performed by Right Revd. G.A Ellison. The total cost of building the new church totalled £37,634.

The first Parish Mass was held on Sunday, February 3rd, 1957, when the Parish Priest said the first Mass in the hall of the Birket Infants School. In April 1957, a house was bought on the Leasowe estate for a temporary Presbytery, where daily mass was said and the Sanctuary lamp was lit. It was decided a new Catholic school should be built in the area as well as a new Church. Arthur Farebrother and Partners, of Manchester, were commissioned to draw up plans.
The Catholic Church of 'Our Lady of Lourdes' was built on 2½ acres which was reserved by the Local Authority. After a delay the land was bought for £3,000 in 1959, except for a small strip of frontage which was acquired by March 1960. The builders Tyson's Ltd, of Liverpool, moved onto the site and the work began. Owing to the bad bearing quality of the land, extensive piling was necessary to a depth of 30 feet which added well over £7,000 to the estimated cost. The foundation stone was laid on Saturday, 7th October 1961 and the Church opened in 1962.
New Brighton
St. James' Church
It was as early as 1839 when it was first suggested that a church should be built in New Brighton when William Rowson, son-in-law to the founder of New Brighton, James Atherton, recruited subscribers for the building of a place of worship for the new resort. Initially nothing came of the scheme and all monies were returned but in 1853 Rowson reopened the account with a generous donation of £700. Other donations followed and work began in the same year.
The foundation stone of St. Jame's Church, on Victoria Road, was laid by the Bishop of Chester, John Graham, D.D., on 16th February 1854. Designed by Sir Gilbert Scott (1811-1878) who also designed Albert Memorial, St. Pancras Station and Hotel and the Home Office and Colonial Buildings in London. Work progressed well but on 22nd November, 1854 a violent storm erupted which caused a great deal of damage to the half-built church. As a result, work upon the church was put back many months and further funds were required to repair the damage. The total cost raising to £13,000. The church is built in sandstone in a gothic style and was originally lit by oil lamps until 1860 when gas lamps were installed. On 28th March, 1896 a fire broke out in the heating apparatus chamber and was quickly extinguished by the Brigade. In 1900 the church was converted to electricity which was a gift from W.G Ellery.
St. James' Church was consecrated on 10th July, 1856 by Bishop Graham. The vicarage was added later on adjoining land. The first incumbent of St. James' was the Norfolk-born Revd. Richard Drake Fowell, M.A., who would go on to complete a 33 years of service at St. James' until his death on 19th March 1887. Fowell Road that runs nearby is named in his honour.
St. Andrew's Church
The first Wesleyan Methodist Society in Wallasey was established in 1860 and consisted of 14 members who met in rented rooms in Egerton Street. Robert Huworth was in particular the core member of the Society and takes much credit in its early formative years. With members expanding and money raised it was decided to purchase land on the corner of Rowson Street and Egerton Street for £240 with the intention of building a church.
The New Brighton Methodist Chapel was designed by Henry V. Vale, F.R.I.B.A., President of the Liverpool Architectural Society, and the foundation stone was laid on Friday, 22nd April, 1870 by William Litherland of Liverpool. The Chapel was officially opened for worship on 23rd November, 1870 when the Revd. John Farrar, the President of the Wesleyan Conference, preached the sermon. Originally the Chapel seated 350 people but due to demand for extra seating the Chapel was enlarged with the building of an Eastern Aisle in 1893, which provided an extra 100 seats. A further extension was followed with the building of the Western Aisle in 1901 which provided an extra 83 seats for an ever increasing congregation. In December 1940 and again 12th March 1941 and 4th May 1941 the church suffered air-raid damage. For a time the services had to be held in the Sunday School room under the church. It was not until after the war that the damages could be repaired and on 1st December 1948 the church reopened. In 1986, the tower was in need of repair but due to costs, it was decided to reduce the tower by 25 feet and replace with a modern cap.
St. Peter & St. Paul
The Catholics of New Brighton first met in a rented-room in Egerton Street, at a cost of £16 per annum, in 1879 and was established by Father William Stanton from St. Albans Church, Mill Lane and Canon Randolph Frith. The meeting place was actually the same room where the Wesleyan community met in the 1860s. The two men then began, with voluntary subscription, to look into the building of a church. the site of the church had been donated by Mr Walsh who also donated £500 towards the construction costs. The church was built in red brick in the Gothic Style and was consecrated by the Right Revd. Bishop Edmund Knight, M.D., of Shrewsbury, on 19th June, 1881.
It was also decided to establish a school nearby. The owner of 'The Palace' on New Brighton Promenade, Laurence Connolly, who was also a Liverpool Councillor and Fruit Broker, was the main benefactor. The school was opened 27th July, 1885 and was situated on the opposite side of Hope Street near its junction with Grosvenor Road.
Canon Frith was the first parish priest of St. Peter & St. Paul until his retirement in 1887, age the age of 78. Father (later Canon) William Stanton replaced him. The last incumbent being Monsignor Canon Curran from 1925 to 1940. In December 1940, during the Second World War, the church suffered heavy air-raid damage and lay derelict for a time until being demolished. The parishioners all moving to SS Peter & Paul on Atherton Street. Today the former site is now a supermarket car park.
SS Peter & Paul
Prior to the building of SS Peter & Paul there once stood an older building, 'Sandrock', that occupied the site. The
of 'Sandrock' has been covered in 'Mansions of Wallasey' so further reading can be found in that section.
With the increasing numbers of people living in New Brighton, Father Thomas Mullins, who came to the parish in 1909, decided it was time for a bigger church. Originally the new church was going to be built at the junction of Rowson Street and Seabank Road but the landowner decided not to sell the land so a different site had to be found.
High on top of St. George's Mount stood 'Sandrock', which had been erected on land which was once owned by James Atherton. After various tenants and becoming a Cenacle Convent for French Nuns, Father Mullins purchased the old building and land for £3,000. Father Mullins now had to raise £58,000 to build the church but this was in the days of the Great Depression during the 1920's. It took several years before any start could be made on the site - about 1930 when 'Sandrock' was demolished and the first foundations of the church was laid.
The architect of SS Peter & Paul was E. Bower & Norris who designed the church in the style based on the Estrella or Basilca of the Sacred Heart in London which Father Mullins had studied there in the English College, It is built of concrete, with an outer casting of brick in the style of Renaissance, with a fine copper covered dome and a cross at the pinnacle. With years of wear it is now green. The church was built by James A Milerston & Son, whose firm had already built two Anglican Churches in the town, along with several other large buildings.
The first mass was on 2nd August, 1935 when the church was blessed by Father Mullins. In 1945 Father Mullins died at the age of 81 and is buried at Rake Lane Cemetery.
In August 2008 the SS Peter & Paul Church was closed and all services transferred to All Saints Parish School in Hose Side Road. The future of SS Peter & Paul is uncertain.
All Saints Anglican Church
Before the church was built services were held in a temporary building. The first service was held on Whitsunday 1919. The plans for a permanent church were submitted by Sir Giles Scott R.A in 1927 who also designed the Liverpool Anglican Church. He also designed many churches around the country as well as buildings such as the Library at Cambridge University.
Sir Frederick North's trustees gave a donation of £7,000 towards the cost of the new church on the proviso that it was built within seven years of his gift. The foundation stone of All Saints was laid on 9th July 1927. Dr Pagat, Bishop of Chester, consecrated the church on 15th December, 1928, and constituted a separate parish on 21st Match 1929. The first incumbent of the church was the Revd. W.J Philpin, B.A who had already been curate-in-charge since 1919. He retired after serving the parish for 27 years in 1956. The nave in the church was completed in 1939 but the sanctuary was not completed until after 1945 due to the outbreak of hostilities.
Emmanuel Church
The first reference of a church on the site that later became Emmanuel Church was in 1879 when an "iron building" was recorded in the annals of St. Jame's Church and was known as the Mission Chapel. The church was built of corrugated iron. The first minister was Revd. Edgar Stockdale from 1881 to 1889.
The earliest mention of Emmanuel was in a report published in the 'Wallasey & Wirral Chronicle' in April 1889. The report noted the meeting at St. James' Church whereby those in attendance urged the Revd. J.F Howson that a regular Sunday service should be held at Emmanuel and that a clergyman should take charge but the population of the New Brighton Parish was not sufficiently numerous to justify morning services.
However, at a farewell speech to the parishioners of New Brighton in October 1889, the retiring Revd Howson pointed out the pressing need of a permanent building to replace the "iron building".
No further reference to the building of the new church is to be found until the year 1898 when a New Brighton parochial bazaar was held and £707 was raised towards furnishing of the new church. On 28th October, 1899, the foundation stone of the church was laid by the Duchess of Westminster, the building fund being opened by a gift of £1,000 from Mr and Mrs .North.of .New Brighton. Design of the new church was by the architect Charles Earnest Deacon (1844-1927).
Slow progress was made in the completion of the fabric of the church and it was not until 1st May, 1909, 10 years after the laying of the foundation stone, that the Church was completed. The Revd. F.E Sandys was appointed the first vicar of Emmanuel and ministered to the Parish until 1932.
In May 1991, Merseyside Development Corporation (MDC) agreed to fund improvements to the Church Hall. A new roof was fitted, the exterior was re-pointed, emergency lighting was fitted, a new kitchen was re-sited and built, the toilets were updated and later a toilet for the disabled was installed as well as wheelchair access.
Due to the increasing instability of the church building, the church was demolished in 1998. The new foundation stone was laid on 21st January 2001 by the Bishop of Birkenhead. By 1st November the new church was opened costing £270,500.
Liscard Congregational Church
The old Liscard Congregational Church, which stood in Rake Lane near to Stroud Corner, was built by John Astley Marsden of Liscard Hall, in 1842. It was erected on a piece of land which he owned, in the Anglo-Gothic style with tower and lancet windows. When built he passed it over the the trustees. While the chapel was being built Mr Marsden saw an advertisement for the
of a pulpit and memorial tablet of the famous preacher and hymn writer, Dr. Isaac Watts, in St. Mary Axe in London, which had been demolished some months earlier. He purchased them and had then placed in the in the new chapel. There were also fine bas-relief scenes in the chancel under the window.
The church cost in the region of £1,200 to build. This was met by Mr. Marsden. The church opened on 1st September 1842, when Revd. Dr. Thomas Raffles and Caleb Morris, of London preached sermons. Alterations and extensions were made in 1888, so the church could hold a larger number of people - up to 700 people. The first pastor wa the Revd. H. Lawson Brown, who began his ministry in 1889. At the same time of the alterations a mission hall was built and opened in Field Road. This remained part of the church until 1955 when it was sold.
During the Second World War the church suffered damage during air-raids. The hall was destroyed, and the adjoining school, built in 1865, was completely destroyed. The church was restored at the hall was restored at the cost of over £20,00 during 1953-54.. The Revd. Maurice Williams laid the foundation stone.
In 1970 the church had to be demolished due to the building becoming unsafe with dry rot. Marsden Court, which is now sheltered housing that comprises of 28 flats, was built on the site in 1978.

Analysis of Factors Affecting on Risk Management of Wheat Production Among Wheat Farmers (Razavieh Region, Khorasan-E-Razavi Province, Iran)
The main purpose of this study was to analyze the Factors Affecting on risk management in wheat production among farmers of Razavieh region (Khorasan-E-Razavi province, Iran). Statistical population of the study was 1520 farmers that they had water cultivation. By using of stratified proportional random sampling 156 respondents were selected from 8 villages. For the calculation of the risk-aversion coefficient degree among farmers, the Safety First Rule model was used. The findings revealed that the dominant respondents (65%) were risk-averse. The results of exploratory factorial analysis showed that five factors determined about 74.267 % from total variance for wheat farmers' risk management that consist of: economy & marketing management factor, planting management factor, harvest management factor, infrastructure management of farming and risk-sharing management factor. From among of the above mentioned factors, the most important factor of risk management in study region was factor of economy & marketing management.

Assessment of agricultural land fund in the Czech Republic, importance and future
Assessment of land depends on the production function of soil and additional connections given by environmental requirements, by the evaluation of public goods or by the requirements for formation a fair tax policy and even by the interests of landowners. Analysis of coherences during the soil appraisal shows a relatively strong dependence on the development of year-by-year yields and cost including subsidy policy, which is strongly reflected in the grasslands. Development of subsidies does not basically influence a long- term return and costs ratio for the production on arable land. The requirements for formation of prices are given due to the need for stability of the mutual relations between the quality of soil and climatic conditions, which manifests itself mainly in land consolidation or the categorization, useful for example for the determination of LFA. The comprehensive solution provides a system of land evaluation by cost-revenue relationships, which includes evaluation of environmental context on the base of the assessment of physical characteristics of soil and economic contexts in BPEJ categorization. The development of value system relations according to the proposed annual gross rental effects (HRRE) shows a relatively stable assessment of land fund for arable land. The adjusted system of land value permits preferably to express a pointed value of land, which corresponds to the trend of a points system of VÚMOP. The actual current rating BPEJ is proposed to make in dependence on the level of market prices to a one point. Due to the different trends in the market prices of arable land and grassland is proposed to introduce a separate assessment of arable land and grassland.

Coherent Quantitative Analysis of Risks in Agribusiness: Case of Ukraine
Modern methods of quantitative risk analysis, specifically value-at-risk and expected shortfall approach, provide comprehensive and coherent risk evaluation throughout entire distribution of outcomes and can take agricultural business from the realm of uncertainty to specific, quantified risks. Monte Carlo simulation with autocorrelation of standard deviation shows the best results in risk modeling and is used for this research. The analysis showed that production risk is systemic within climatic regions of Ukraine with coefficients of correlation ranging from 0.25 to 0.85. Yield correlation among crops in several oblasts is low to negative, creating opportunities for diversification. However, positive price-yield correlation is dominant for agricultural products in Ukraine due to high dependency on global prices and a large share of export. It is hypothesized that price-yield correlation is directly proportional to the share of country's international trade in that agricultural product.

Farmers Perception and Adaptation to Climate Change: An Estimation of Willingness to Pay
This paper assesses farmers' perception and adaptation to climate change to enhance policy towards tackling the challenges climate change poses to the farmers in Ghana. With regards to farmers' perception and methods of adaptation, majority of the farmers perceived increase in temperature and decrease in rainfall pattern. Farmers' level of adaptation was found to be relatively high with majority of the farmers using changing planting dates, different crop varieties, soil conservation and water harvesting as the major adaptation measures to climate change impacts. However, access to water, high cost of adaptation, lack of information, lack of knowledge on adaptation, insecure property rights, insufficient access to inputs and lack of credits were identified as the major barriers to adaptation. The probit regression estimation results indicated that the probability of willingness to pay for climate change mitigation policies increases with age, years of education and ownership of farm land.

What determines the Czech land market prices? Some regional findings
The paper deals with the analysis of market land prices that were collected from land purchased contracts in the Czech Republic. Regression model was used to identify determinants explaining variability of market prices between 2008 and 2009. It was found out that type of plantation, region, type of buyers, plot size, distance to regional city or number of parcels play significant role. These factors explain more than a half of variance in land price. Quality of land that was expressed through administrative price has significant effect on market price. Yet, such effect became less import in regions nearby cities (e.g. Prague and Olomouc), where the market land price is significantly influenced by the distance to the district city. Land reform, however has not been confirmed to stimulate higher prices for sellers. It is reasonable to expect that part of the remaining variation could still be accounted for by non-random variables.

ICT helps to overcome disabilities
As a result of technological progress ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) has created the so-called "digital divide". Some people are unable to individually respond to this progress, but the proper use of ICT can help them overcome this handicap. One of the possibilities is to create accessible and usable applications depending on the character and level of disability. In accordance with the European CertiAgri project, e-learning tools are used for integrating people with disabilities into the horticultural area. The paper specifically describes examples of simple teaching aids from the practical "green care" course, which focus on the skills of people with mental disabilities.

New Version of the AGRIS Web Portal – Overcoming the Digital Divide by Providing Rural Areas with Relevant Information
The present paper brings the outcomes of the second stage of a complex AGRIS web portal upgrade (technological, functional, content and design upgrade) called Agris 5.0. The Agris 5.0 version is recently being tested and will be launched in January 2012 on http://www.agris.cz. Agris 5.0 is built and runs on Microsoft technologies (MS Windows Server 2008, MS IIS 7 web server, MS SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Edition, SP2) using the Model-View-Controller (MVC) SW architectural pattern version 3, .NET framework 4, programming language C#, Razor template system, XML and XHTML 1.1 markup languages, CSS 2.1 styles and JavaScript encoding with the jQuery framework. From the user point of view, the Agris portal usability and availability meeting international standards were the utmost priority of the present upgrade.

Remember that story about how you need to pay $732 if you realistically want to unlock everything in Ubisoft's game For Honor? Game director Damien Kieken has just offered the following explanation:
"We never had an intention for you to unlock everything in the game. First, that doesn't truly make any sense. We applied RPG mechanics on top of a fighting game, in a PVP environment, but it's like in an RPG, like in World of Warcraft: you would never try to unlock everything for all the characters of the whole game. Same for any MOBA, you're not trying to unlock all the content for all the characters in the game."
He also added that the unlock system was built around the idea that most gamers would have several different characters in the game, and that "the cosmetic items are really for us the end-game content: the things we want you to unlock after playing for several weeks."
Actually, when you think about it, that does make sense on some level. Having a huge abundance of possible unlocks allows for more customization and individuality between characters. Still, for completionists, it's a pain.

Tricity TJKSB10
Kettle - Metal - Cordless - with Anticalc Filter - with Automatic Shut Off - Max Capacity:1.7 - Max Wattage:2200
2 reviews from the community
Review of "Tricity TJKSB10"
Finally back :-) Might take me a while to get back into things. I have missed writing
"Tricity TJKSB10 - a stylish kettle but major faults"
A nice cup of tea always puts a smile on our faces in our household. I will admit I do probably drink a bit too much tea but I enjoy it. So when our old trusty kettle of four years broke I had to go out the next morning and buy a new one. Unfortunately it was coming to the end of the month and money was tight so we opted for a cheaper kettle than previous. In our local Tesco store we picked up the Tricity TJKSB10 not only did the price impress us but so did the style. It had to be a win win didn't it!
The Style
The Tricity kettle is a stainless steel kettle and although they are more difficult to keep looking clean than a plastic style one I prefer them. Unlike our last short and dumpy looking kettle this particular one is tall and thick looking. It has a very large thick black handle on the side which I thought would be great for holding on too. Also down the side is a clear water indicator which I think nearly all kettles come with. But this kettle is flasher with a blue illuminating indicator for when the kettle is switched on. Altogether I like the whole look of the kettle it is a bit different to other kettles on the market and looks strong and stylish.
The specifications
The Tricity TJKSB10 is a cordless kettle that sits on a round base which is plugged in. This stainless steel kettle has a capacity of 1.7 litres which is a good size and does our small family. As I have mentioned it is a large thick looking kettle and measures 26cms in height and roughly 16cms in width and is good and steady. The kettle comes with a water level indicator which is situated down the side near the handle. The leveller is measured in litres with a maximum level. As well as a water level indicator it also comes with a blue illuminating indicator to tell you when the kettle is in use. As we live in a small open plan cottage I can see the kettle from my living room so I can see when the light goes out if I don't hear the kettle boil, it's the little things! The kettle also comes with a lime scale filter to keep that at bay.
Opening the kettle is easy you pull back the small silver notch on the lid and it lifts up. You can then fill the kettle up with water watching the water level on the side to make sure it's not too full. Then it's a case of a flick of the switch down and away it goes. If the kettle is cold and is filled to maximum it does take just under five minutes to boil this particular kettle does not come with rapid boil.
My thoughts
The other problem this kettle has is a large build up of lime scale my old kettle was no were near as bad. The filter does stop it getting into your tea which is the main thing.
On initial looks I loved the kettle it looks very stylish in my kitchen and goes with my theme of stainless steel and grey appliances. The blue light whilst in use just added to the stylish look of the product and entertains the kids they love waiting to watch it go off. But unfortunately that is where the good points end. Don't get me wrong this kettle is usable and I guess I got what I paid for but it does have some negatives that take a bit of getting used to. Pouring this kettle has become an art if tipped too much it leaks and water spills all over the work top. It has to be poured slowly and carefully so no more quick cups of teas in the morning! This problem can be managed though although my fiancé wouldn't agree he hates it. Dribbling seems to be an occurring problem with this product as when you open the lid water dribbles down the back of it.
If I was buying another kettle I wouldn't buy this particular one again but on the other hand I am not rushing out to replace it. It does have faults but it does work, it boils water perfectly fine.
I purchased this product from my local Tesco's store for £19.97 currently reduced (May 2012) to £16.96. Is it worth nearly £20, I'm not too sure. You can get cheaper kettles that work as well if not better but then they don't have the look of this kettle maybe that is what you pay for because it's certainly not it's performance.

torr published 02/06/2012Well reviewed. You can see from the pic that the spout's not designed for pouring. There are teapots and jugs with the same obvious design fault. One wonders whether the makers have ever tried pouring from their own products.

Each agent has its uses in this common fungal infection in children.
Since the late 1950s, griseofulvin has been the treatment of choice for tinea capitis; it is very safe and inexpensive and is available in tablet or liquid forms. The main disadvantages are long treatment duration (6–8 weeks) and erratic absorption. Shorter treatment and longer tissue retention of drug have increased use of newer antifungal agents (terbinafine, itraconazole, and fluconazole) for adult fungal skin infections. These agents, however, are much more expensive, dosage forms are limited, and data regarding pediatric use are few.
Investigators performed a meta-analysis of randomized, controlled trials to compare griseofulvin with terbinafine for tinea capitis treatment in children and adults. Seven studies involving 2163 subjects were included, and clinical and mycological cure rates and adverse effects were compared. No significant differences in efficacy were found between griseofulvin (mean duration, 8 weeks; range, 6–12 weeks) and terbinafine (mean duration, 4 weeks; range, 2–6 weeks). Terbinafine was more efficacious for Trichophyton species and griseofulvin forMicrosporum species. Both agents had good safety profiles. The authors recommend that pretreatment and intermittent laboratory investigations are unnecessary in terbinafine treatment of healthy children because adverse side effects are rare, and the tests do not effectively predict these rare reactions.
Comment: Head-to-head studies of tinea capitis treatment in the U.S. are limited by FDA-required dosing of griseofulvin at 10 mg/kg/day, an outdated and inadequate dosage for Trichophyton tonsurans. Current U.S. practice for the microsize griseofulvin suspension is to use 20–25 mg/kg/day (the dose would need to be converted if ultramicrosize tablets are prescribed). In this meta-analysis of studies from around the world, griseofulvin dosing ranged from 6 to 20 mg/kg/day. Despite suboptimal dosing in many, griseofulvin beat terbinafine for Microsporum canis infections. Ideally, pretreatment fungal cultures can guide our choice of agent. Terbinafine works well against T. tonsuranswhen treatment duration is adequate, but terbinafine oral granules are prohibitively expensive; therefore, I prescribe tablets for children (cut in half, if needed). Itraconazole is another alternative to griseofulvin for M. canis infection in children. For T. tonsurans, I still prescribe a lot of griseofulvin: It's safe, it's cheap, and it works well when given correctly.

Naked man who jumped into lion's pen 'thought he was son of God'
A CHILLING letter has revealed the thoughts of a man moments before he stripped off and leaped into a lion's pit in front of horrified crowds.
There was uproar as images emerged online last week of the naked 20-year-old embracing the wild creatures before they mauled him half to death.
Two lions were shot dead by security guards at the Metropolitan Zoo in the Chilean capital of Santiago as they pounced on the man – leaving him fighting for his life.
And now it has been revealed that Franco Luis Ferrada Roman leapt into the enclosure because he believed he was protected by a prophet of Jesus.
Letters and drawings left by Roman before he climbed over the zoo's fences have been published.
Experts believe they point to Roman's "mystic messianic delusion" which would suggest rather than committing suicide he was attempting to create a miracle – as he believed himself divine.
The note read: "Angel of mine, protect me from the enemy.
"The devil is scared of me; I will lock him up back where he never should have come out of"Franco Luis Ferrada Roman
"I have the power to do what I want.
"The devil is scared of me; I will lock him up back where he never should have come out of."
It went on to describe how the "apocalypse had arrived," and was accompanied by drawings describing him as Jesus as well as sketches of lions.
Dr Italo Sigala, a psychiatrist for the local medical service's legal department, explained that his behaviour was most likely due to "a psychotic episode and a mystic messianic delusion".
A man's bond with deadly lions
He said: "He was convinced that he was talking to the lions and due to his divine power they would not hurt him.
Roman broke open the roof of the cage and stripped naked before provoking the lions in the tragic incident on Sunday.
Eyewitnesses said the lions first ignored him and began to play before they turned on him in a bloodied attack.
He was rushed to hospital in a critical condition but now remains stable, medics confirmed.
The news comes as yet another man decided to play with fire and jumped into a lion's pen to shake hands with the big cats.

Fake News & the Importance of Information Literacy
"If you have a society where people can't agree on basic facts,
how do you have a functioning democracy?"
—Washington Post Executive Editor Martin Baron
ProQuest recently surveyed 217 librarians from university, community college, high school and public libraries in North America for their views and insights on information literacy. While 83% of librarians surveyed agree that information literacy affects college graduation rates and 97% believe that it contributes to success in the workforce, only 21% think that their users recognize information literacy's effect on lifelong success, and 44% believe that their library does not support information literacy instruction as much as it should. Read a report on the full results of ProQuest's 2016 Information Literacy Survey.
What Is Fake News?
Although there are many definitions of fake news, the main characteristic is that it is created with an intent to deceive or mislead. Many fake news items are either largely or completely fictitious, and deliberately so. These stories imitate the look and style of real news articles, and they are published on sites designed to imitate established newspaper websites or political blogs, often with closely-related, similar or slightly misspelled domain names.
Melissa Zimdars, an associate professor of communication and media at Merrimack College in Massachusetts, compiled a list of websites that either purposely publish false information or are otherwise entirely unreliable. She tags the sites by category–false, misleading, unreliable, clickbait, satire, bias, hate, conspiracy theories, junk science, or sometimes a combination of several categories.
How Does Fake News Spread?
Most web publishers define their success by the amount of traffic their sites receive. They use this information to attract and bill advertisers based on the numbers of "clicks" or "hits" their site generates. Sometimes, the factual information or foundation of the article is not as important as the number of page views, because these can be used to generate more revenue from potential advertisers.
News sharing has become popular because people affirm their identities and affiliations by posting links to articles that reflect and support their own existing opinions and beliefs, and fake news stories are often strongly biased. Sometimes a story that was intended as satire circulates as factual information, or false information can originate when regular people who are misinformed post on social media sites. Web site owners can also pay a fee to have their site's search results shown in top placement on the results page of different search engines.
Sharing fake news articles pushes them higher up in search result pages, causing others to come across them quickly and trust the content. This is supported by a study conducted at Northwestern University, where 102 college students went online to answer questions about topics relevant to them. How did the students assess the credibility of online content? When using a search engine, many students clicked on the first search result. They ignored the sponsoring organization and the article's author, blindly trusting the search engine to put the most reliable results first.
Why Is Fake News Harmful?
Prior to the internet age, people relied on information in printed form–newspapers, magazines, journals, books, encyclopedias–or they watched the nightly television news. Doing any type of extensive research usually required a trip to the library to find the resources needed. The internet and social media have made it far easier for powerful entities to directly and quickly spread false or misleading information far and wide. One of the most troubling and dangerous aspects of fake news is the prevalence of private groups pushing their own agendas under the appearance of seemingly unbiased news.
An analysis by the digital media powerhouse BuzzFeed News found that top fake election news stories generated more total engagement on Facebook during the final three months of the 2016 presidential election campaign than reports from 19 major news outlets (including the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, NBC News) combined.
The recent rise in fake news sites underscores the importance of teaching students independent research and critical thinking skills. It's not enough to tell them to only use the school's databases–they must learn how to evaluate the sources they find in the collective media sphere, including both print and digital sources. In its position statement on media literacy, the National Council for the Social Studies, an organization that supports social studies education in U.S. K-12 and higher education, argues that it's important that students be able to "ask key questions, compare competing claims, assess credibility, and reflect on one's own process of reasoning," whether they are reading a printed book, a newspaper article or a Facebook post.
Are your students equipped with the information literacy skills to identify fake news? ProQuest Guided Research products equip students to learn information literacy skills. Free trials are available.

That's very cute, there are many on etsy too so check there you might find another affordable one you love.
For me... well although it goes against everything about me (I'm normally really "thrifty" (ok cheap)... I do my clothing shopping at Target, have never cared about shoes or bags etc) anyways last year I saw a coach purse and HAD TO HAVE IT, got it for my b'day and I adore it... so I went ahead and got a coach diaper bag, though I did get it 1/2 price on ebay
DH will use the freebie from the hospital if he ever takes her out w/o me, they are usually pretty decent and typically just black and manly.

DEADLINE EXTENDED: Thematic Submissions for "Let Us Gather: Diversity and the Arts": Fiction
Ends on December 5, 2017
The deadline for submissions for Let Us Gather: Diversity and the Arts has been EXTENDED to December 5th, 2017.
Also, please note our clarification of the kind of material we are seeking for this theme, as there are two options. 1) Work may be on the subject of diversity within any of the arts. 2) Work may also be by writers from diverse backgrounds on any subject, as writing itself is Nimrod's particular art form and the place that we are "gathering" for this issue. Further details can be found in the third paragraph of the call for submissions below.
For the past 61 years, Nimrod International Journal has been devoted to the idea that the arts bring us together. They highlight what we have in common, and what we have in common is enhanced by our distinctiveness. The arts are the ultimate big tent.
Here in Tulsa, we've been inspired by a local effort to bring together diverse populations and interests in a new public space, a large riverside park called A Gathering Place. As John Dewey said, "The local is the only universal, upon that all art builds." This is true not only of art, but also of all human culture. Now more than ever, we need this reminder of the inherent power of the arts to accommodate both diversity and unity—to bring us together while celebrating our differences.
For our Spring/Summer 2018 issue, Let Us Gather: Diversity and the Arts, Nimrod is seeking poetry, short stories, and creative nonfiction pieces that explore the idea that the arts are a gathering place for diverse and unique perspectives, and that it is through this uniqueness that we find the universal. Since writing itself is an art and Nimrod's specific gathering place, we also seek work that springs from diverse voices on a variety of subjects—and we leave these up to you.
And while this issue will be a celebration of the arts at their best, we also recognize that, historically, the arts have not always been as inclusive as they might have been and that, even now, we still have work to do. Thus, we also invite writing that addresses and confronts the times when the arts have not been as diverse as they could be—including the present.
What We Are Seeking:
We invite poems, short stories, and creative nonfiction pieces that explore the idea of the arts—not only writing but all the arts: music, theater, visual arts—as a gathering place for diversity and connection, or that embody this idea. We also seek work that springs from diverse voices on a variety of subjects. We are open to all interpretations of this theme from writers of all backgrounds and publication histories.
We hope to receive a large variety of material for this issue, especially work from writers of color, writers of marginalized orientations and gender identities, writers of varying socio-economic status, and writers with physical or mental differences. We hope that you will bring to light areas of diversity and connection that we have not thought of. Most of all, we hope to be surprised.
We are excited about this issue, so please send your work and/or share this announcement with writing groups, students, and friends. We eagerly anticipate your response.
