Danish brand Northern Lighting is proud to present 'Buddy' – a multi-functional lamp designed by Mads Sætter-Lassen. The rising young designer describes this desk lamp as "the little helper everyone needs".
In addition to lighting, Buddy is equipped with a holder for storing small items as pens, keys or loose change. Buddy has an innovative and flexible design and promise to be a fun and quirky companion.
Mads Sætter-Lassen explained, "The idea of Buddy started on my messy desktop. As many other young people living in small apartments my desktop is quite small. I thought that it would be cleaver to merge some functions to spare some space. And from that thought emerged the concept."
The multi-directional shade enables the beam to be directed towards the area where light is needed. Available in matt finishes of dark grey, off-white, light green and Marsala, Buddy suits a variety of interiors and applications.
Northern Lighting will present its latest collections at London Design Festival's designjunction. The showcase will be a part of lightjunction – a special area dedicated to the best of contemporary lighting.

Today, we examined the concept of congruence.
congruent – the same shape and size
We learned that if you can rotate, shift, and/or flip an object so that it perfectly lines up with another, then those objects are congruent.
We want to be able to easily tell if triangles are congruent and we can do this through Congruence Shortcuts.
The first shortcut we examined was SSS where two triangles share the same three sides.
We used patty paper to arrange and examine triangles with the same sides and found that they were always congruent.

Iveagh United booked their place in the third round of the Irish Cup for the first time in their history with an emphatic 5-2 home victory over Mid-Ulster Intermediate side Broomhedge.
The game was played at Iveagh's Richardson Park in wintery conditions and in a good, competitive spirit from the beginning with the home side thoroughly deserving of the win.
Conor Vaughan opened the scoring early in the first half only for the away side to draw level minutes later, Thomas Burns then restored the home sides lead.
Vaughan then got his second of the game before Michael Henderson's second half double put the gloss on a good home performance.
The game began with both teams looking to get the ball down and play a passing game but it was clear from the outset that Iveagh possessed the better quality players as Broomhedge gave the ball away numerous times during the early exchanges.
This gave the home side plenty of early possession to build attacks on and early chances fell to strikers Magill and Henderson without success.
The away side had to rely on their keeper making two or three decent stops from midfielders Fox and McAnulty before a slick Iveagh move set Vaughan up for the opening goal.
Burns and Magill combined well in midfield with Magill slicing the away defence wide open to put Vaughan through on the keeper and the young midfielder found the bottom corner of the net.
The lead didn't last long as Broomhedge launched an attack of their own minutes later and Iveagh's defensive frailties left goalkeeper McGinley wide open.
Despite saving the first effort, the big goalkeeper could do nothing about the rebound and the game was level.
This goal brought an instant reaction from the home side as they realised they would have to work harder for the win with captain Paddy Fox rallying his defence to keep their shape better. Soon after midfielder Tommy McAnulty had a low shot well saved by the away 'keeper after a neat move involving full-back Laverty and forwards Henderson and Magill.
It wasn't long before Iveagh had the ball in the Broomhedge net again as Burns volleyed home from an inch perfect McLaughlin cross from the right.
The 'keeper got a touch to the ball but was unable to keep the powerful effort out.
The away side began to play a longer ball when they finally realised the short passing wasn't working but this only played into the strengths of the Iveagh backline with Fox and McDonald completely dominant in the air.
Iveagh United forced a corner just before half-time after another good move resulting in a decent stop from the away goalkeeper.
Magill's corner wasn't properly dealt with and this allowed Vaughan to scramble in his second goal of the game at the second attempt, much to the delight of the home crowd.
This goal was the turning point in the game as the home side realised they were in a winning position and could take full control of the game.
Neat touches in midfield and defence with plenty of short passing allowed the home team to dominate possession going into half-time.
The game was effectively over just after half-time as Henderson danced around the away defence to score the goal of the game after being sent away down the right by his fellow striker Magill.
After collecting Magill's pass, Henderson left three defenders in his wake and calmly slotted the ball past a helpless keeper to make it 4-1 to the home side.
Iveagh again dominated possession and chances were created for Laverty, Burns and McAnulty but each failed to convert.
Substitutes Dorrian, Flood and Wilkinson came on to help keep the Iveagh midfield ticking over and kept possession well when called upon.
Broomhedge were given a way back into the game after a strange decision by the referee saw a penalty awarded for handball against Flood with 15 minutes left to play but the converted penalty was only a consolation as Henderson immediately replied with a deflected effort to restore his sides three goal advantage going into the final 10 minutes.
The home team saw out the game with some neat passing moves involving Flood, Henderson and Laverty on the left side, where they were afforded plenty of space by a deflated away side.
The final whistle saw a jubilant Iveagh side reach the third round of the Irish Cup in their first ever campaign with Club Secretary Jonah McCann declaring it a 'great performance and a great day for the players and staff.'
Next week sees Iveagh travel to the home of Kilmore Rec for a tough match in the first round of the Coca-Cola Intermediate Cup.
The Committee of Iveagh United is currently on the lookout for two volunteers to join the club, the first position would be for a qualified coach to join the first team management.
The second position is for a volunteer to help out the second team management, anyone interested should contact Gerard on 07759542510.

The word "sachet" came to us from the French language, which means it is translated into Russian - "bag". Most often, this item is a fabric pocket, filled with fragrant herbs or stuffed with matter, soaked with essential oils. Used sachet for flavoring rooms, linen, clothing.
What is sachet?
Each house has its own specific and special smell and, unfortunately, it is not always fragrant and fresh. The reasons for this may be the age of the home, the end of the protracted repair, as well as the smells that a person brings from the street. To eliminate these very problems, sachets are used.
Such bags were invented in ancient times. The first of them were sewn from fabric, leather, grass could even be worn in furs and medallions. A little later, the fragrances began to be sewn into clothing in order to protect themselves from evil spirits, bad people and the evil eye. Moreover, the components were a mixture of herbs and flowers to condemn the house, lure love, finances, improve their health. But often they were simply composed of the most pleasant smells, and after the bags were hung or laid out throughout the living room.
Sachets were especially popular in order to give a unique and pleasant aroma to lace and bed linen and towels. The hostesses made bags of various materials, decorated them with embroidery, patterns, lace, beads and even pearls! A small loop was sewn to such a small pillow and then hung in the kitchen, near the front door, in the bedroom. The finished sachet served as an indicator of the craftsmanship of the needlewoman, and also gave an idea of her as the hostess and the woman as a whole.
How to sew a sachet bag by yourself?
Nowadays sachets in the form of small sacks filled with herbs emanating aroma are very popular. Thanks to such devices, you can give a pleasant smell not only to clothes, but also to paper, toys, underwear. Sachets are also an excellent remedy for moths.
Herbs for the bag can be purchased ready-made or independently collect those whose flavor is most preferable to you. Herbs should be collected early in the morning. They should be dried in a well-ventilated place, in the shade, without direct sunlight. Drying often takes 5 days, after which you can start creating a composition for the future sachet.
If you want to make a bag with refreshing properties, then it should be filled with lavender, rose petals, sage, and add a drop of lavender oil or rose oil. So the smell will persist for a long time.
For a child's room a mixture of rose petals, sage, chamomile and lavender. We must not forget that the smell should be barely audible, not pronounced. Hanging a bag next to the baby's crib is not recommended. It is better to put it in a closet with clothes.
For the kitchen room suitable combination of herbs, spices with citrus peel. By the way, in the kitchen sachets are used not only in order to impart flavor, but also for the preparation of the food itself. For example, a bag filled with Tuscan herbs can be dipped into a saucepan during cooking broth, stewing fish or meat.
For the pads themselves, it is best to take a fabric made from natural material. Fabric for embroidery is perfect. Unlike synthetic, similar fabric will longer exude aroma indoors, which in turn will not be drowned out by synthetics notes. Since the bag itself must be beautiful and original, it can be decorated with embroidery.
If you do not have the necessary herbs at home, then you should not despair; you can fill the sachet with ordinary sawdust that has been soaked with essential oils in advance. Sawdust cost cheap, and you can buy them at almost any pet store. A huge selection of essential oils can be found in pharmacies.
To prepare sawdust, you need to pour part of them into a glass jar with a tightly screwed lid, add a few drops of essential oil there, then close the jar and shake everything well. Then repeat the same manipulations: pour the sawdust into the jar, drop the essential oil, shake. Then the banis contents should be placed in a dark place for at least 7 days.
The bags for the future sachet can also be stitched together very simply: for this, you should cut out rectangles or triangles, diamonds, circles, circles — whoever you like more, decorate with lace, embroidery, beads, and then sew the edges. After the bag should be tightly filled with pre-prepared mixture of herbs or sawdust with essential oils and just tie with a tape or braid.
So, to sew a bag is not at all difficult, but still what to fill it with? There can be a lot of options, here are the most popular ones:
- Many people know that the smell of coffee improves mood, kills unpleasant odors, and also contributes to an increase in appetite. A sachet filled with coffee beans can be hung in the kitchen, it will bring a lot of use there !;
- The smell of needles has an antibacterial and refreshing effect. The natural aroma of pine and spruce needles can be enhanced with essential oils. By the way, cedar, fir and pine oils are not only beneficial for the human body, but also uplifting;
- Such herbs as fennel, basil, mint, thyme, rosemary have unique beneficial properties and aromas, and mint also soothes, relieves stress and puts the emotional state of a person in order;
- To improve sleep, sachets can be put inside pillowcases or stuffing their usual pillows. Moreover, in addition to herbs, you can use berries or wild rose. To create such a sachet, you will need 1 part of lavender buds for ½ part of jasmine flowers, chamomile, hop petals and roses. Herbs need to mix, fall asleep in the bag, and, in turn, hide it in a pillowcase or pillow itself;
- To strengthen the immunity should be mixed sage, rosemary, lemon balm, thyme and essential oils of the same plants;
- A sachet filled with sage, rose petals, dill seeds, lavender and chamomile flowers with the addition of essential oils of lemon balm, chamomile and sage can be placed in the child's room.
By the way, it is the lavender scent that leads among others, when choosing sachet filler components. It is resistant, prevents the appearance of moths, brings health benefits - soothes and relieves stress.
Sasha with his own hands: a master class
For self-production at home, sachets need:
- A shred of linen, cotton or cambric;
- A small piece of lace;
- Bands, ribbons - you need to choose such parts based only on your taste preferences;
- Decoupage napkins or transfer paper;
- Filler for the bag: dried herbs, needles or orange peel or sawdust pre-impregnated with essential oils, as well as a small ball of synthetic winterizer, so that the sachet has a beautiful shape;
- Needle, thread, scissors.
First of all, the material should make the pattern of the desired shape. As an example, 2 blanks are presented - 1 in the form of a heart, and others in the form of a rectangle.
With the help of a hot iron you need to transfer the image from the transfer paper to the fabric. To do this, you should iron the paper several times, then peel it off, and the image will be transferred onto the fabric!
Then, using pre-selected ribbons and lace, you should decorate the front side of the bag. By the way, it is better to do it manually, without the help of a sewing machine.
Now it's time to sew both halves of the heart and rectangle by hand. It is carried out from the seamy side of the product with a rough seam. To the corner of the rectangle and in the middle of the heart should be sewn on a small loop of tape, for which later will hang bags.
Now the seam must be stitched on a sewing machine, leaving a small hole through which the seal will be poured, and the product should be turned to the front side.
It remains to fill the pads with filler. To begin with, they should be filled with crushed and dried orange peel, for a thorough procedure, at the corners and edges one should put a synthetic winterizer. Then you should take a pair of cotton pads and drop on 1 of them a few drops of essential oils prepared in advance, and then cover it with the 2nd cotton disk on top and place it inside the bag.
After that, the hole must be carefully sewn up and everything is ready - the aromatic sachet for the house is ready!
It is best to store such bags in a tightly closed container, it can serve as a large jar or any other container with a lid.
There is a legend that the wife of God Olympus Zeus Hera seduced him with the help of a magical fragrant belt. Modern experts in the field of flavors believe that the composition of the filler of such a belt could well be as follows: nutmeg, jasmine, cloves, pink vanilla. You can take it on board, creating a composition of aromas for sachets with your own hands.

"We hope that during these meetings you are challenged by your responsibility to make disciples," said Dr Brad Kemp, president of the New Zealand Pacific Union Conference, to open the year-end executive meetings, which ran this week at Union headquarters at Howick, Auckland.
His statement set the tone for the meetings as business was passed and reports were given—all through the lens of how to be better disciples.
"I think they were a great set of meetings," Dr Kemp said. "There was good discussion from the committee members. Everyone on the committee was engaged regarding discipleship, and we explored some questions of the what's working, what's not working, etc."
In fact, Victor Kulakov, director of Family Relationships Ministries at NZPUC, spent 20 minutes of his session giving committee members time to break into small groups and discuss what discipleship strategies they saw as: working, not working, what had changed and what priorities need to be; and outlining a plan to change the Union's focus from being resource and program intensive to a dynamic and engaged membership. The Union hopes that 80 per cent of its efforts can be directed into encouraging iPace: pastors and members being ignited, passionate, active, connected, engaged, with only 20 per cent being spent on RIP: resources, information and programs.
"As I sit and look at the numbers, I wonder how well we are preparing our people."
Delegates heard about some of the success stories the Union has witnessed, including ADRA's Church Partnership Program (CPP), which has seen local churches get on board to run programs such as Welcome Baby, youth mentorship programs, budgeting programs and other practical skills for life. In fact one church in Auckland has seen 20 baptisms this year from running these types of programs. The Union's media presence is increasing with Hope Channel NZ now being watched by 4-5 per cent of the population and Voice of Hope Radio in French Polynesia being the most listened to radio station, including commercial radio.
The committee also voted to support a statement passed at the South Pacific Division year-end meetings about the role of commissioned ministers. See statement here.
The meeting program, Convene—trialled at the SPD year-end meetings as a paperless report storing system—was also used at the NZPUC. While it took a little time to get everyone set up, voting was recorded and it seemed to go fairly smoothly.
It was not all good news, however, as NZPUC secretary treasurer Graeme Drinkall brought some challenging membership and monetary statistics to the attention of delegates. For every 100 members the Union adds, 45 are removed. Only 30 per cent of those have died, which means the remainder, according to Mr Drinkall, "we can do something about".
"As I sit and look at the numbers, I wonder how well we are preparing our people," Mr Drinkall said.
The potential for growth is there. In 2015, according to the secretary's report, there was 1 baptism for every 21 members, and 11 baptisms for every 1 pastor. "Imagine if there was a baptism for every member," Mr Drinkall said.
He finished the membership report quoting Ellen White: "The work of God in this earth can never be finished until the men and women comprising our church membership, rally to the work and unite their efforts with those of ministers and church officers" (E G White, Counsels to the Church, 58).
The tithing report was similarly challenging. Mr Drinkall reported that during the past five years, only South New Zealand had seen significant tithe increase. The other conference and missions had seen their level of tithe remain stable or decrease. While he acknowledged the devaluation of the Pacific franc, and other currency and economic factors were causing some challenges, he pointed out to delegates that tithe was not keeping pace with inflation and economic growth. According to research carried out in NZ by Nic Bolto, tithe engagement is only 43 per cent in NNZ and 59 per cent in SNZ.
World mission offerings have also plummeted since the 1960s.
This information led to robust discussion on how the messaging around tithe needed to be updated to reach new generations and possible strategies to change stewardship models, such as more engaging offering presentations, emphasis on the fact that giving is an act of worship and increasing membership awareness of eGiving possibilities.
A vote was also passed to set up a committee to look at the viability of merging the two New Zealand Conferences into one, after a submission from South New Zealand some time ago. The executive voted to set up a committee but the chair took pains to assure everyone that there was no preconceived outcome in mind, and that this would be an open and transparent conversation. The committee will have lay representatives from both conferences, as well as church officers. "We don't proceed without the direction of you as an executive committee," said Pastor Kemp.
Yesterday, a report was presented by Life Health Foods, a company that is owned and operated by the Church but manages a number of healthy, organic brands in Australia and New Zealand. Bennie Hendricks, head of LHF International, shared the work of LHF in countries around the world, such as the UK, Thailand, India and China, and also information on how some of the brands owned by LHF had become brand leaders in their respective markets.
This report was followed by a lunch prepared by LHF, which showcased the different products available, and was enjoyed and appreciated by the delegates. One delegate commented, "I never knew our Church did all this."
Adventist Record editor Jarrod Stackelroth was also able to present to delegates some thoughts around the future of Record, plans for an NZPUC edition early next year and the newly launched Adventist Record website, encouraging more writers and news stories from New Zealand and the French Pacific.
Morning devotionals were also well received. The first, taken by Kelvin Peuser, outgoing associate CFO of the SPD, focused on God's unconditional love. SPD president Pastor Glenn Townend, on the second morning of the meetings, presented "Seeing Seed power", where he talked about the power of the Word of God to change people's lives and activate them to grow and to multiply.
When asked to reflect on the meetings, Dr Kemp stated: "The meetings challenged us on a couple of core questions: how can the Church be fully engaged in its commitment and passion as disciples of Jesus; and how do we interact in society in a way that makes a difference? This is a personal question and a ministry question: how do we share with friends and neighbours?
"I think there's a lot of goodwill and a lot of potential for where we are heading as the Church in this region. In New Zealand, for example, providing a media platform through which we can do some exciting, innovative things.
"I would love to see the Church be really adventurous and to harness the platforms of ADRA, Sanitarium, the media and the local church to do something significant in the community. By doing that we could create a real presence and make a meaningful contribution to the lives of people."

Making good on promises, Apple opens first app accelerator in Bengaluru
- +0
- +0
On Friday, technology behemoth Apple announced the opening of its App Accelerator in Bengaluru, which will provide specialised support for developers on Apple's iOS platform.
According to an official release from Apple, this support will include tools as well as best practices from the company to hone the developers' skills and improve the performance of apps built by them on the iOS platform.
Last year in May, Apple's CEO, Time Cook, had announced this new initiative to set up an iOS App Design and Development Accelerator in Bengaluru, during his visit.
At that time, he had said,
"India is home to one of the most vibrant and entrepreneurial iOS development communities in the world. With the opening of this new facility in Bengaluru, we're giving developers access to tools that will help them create innovative apps for customers around the world."
Further, Apple states that each week, the company experts will lead briefings and provide one-on-one app reviews for developers. While providing specialised briefings for over 500 developers every week, Apple Technology Evangelists will also offer a detailed app analysis feedback for developers as they work to enhance their apps.
At the same time, the first-of-its-kind facility is looking to provide support and guidance on Swift, Apple's intuitive programming language created to build apps for iOS, Apple TV, and Apple Watch. Further, according to the Cupertino-headquartered company, Swift enables its developers to write safer, more reliable code, save time, and create richer app experiences.
Speaking about why Apple chose India to set up the accelerator, Philip Schiller, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing, said,
"We are impressed by the great entrepreneurial spirit in India, and are excited to provide a platform for these developers to share their innovations with customers around the world. In just the first few weeks, we've already seen some incredible developers here at the App Accelerator Bengaluru, including Practo and Reliance Games, create innovative apps that can meet the needs of customers in India and around the world."
But what do members of the Indian ecosystem think about this?
Speaking on the initiative, NASSCOM President R. Chandrashekhar said,
"Apple's commitment to the developer community through the opening of the App Accelerator is a tremendous investment in the future of India's digital economy."
He further believes that mixing a sustainable technology sector with leading-edge design and insights from Apple engineering may create an innovative pipeline that will have both local and global appeal.
Adding to the conversation, Shashank N.D., Founder and CEO of Practo, said,
"We are thrilled to be one of the first developers to collaborate with the team at the App Accelerator. The Accelerator has really helped us make the best use of iOS technologies to rapidly digitise and improve the healthcare experience for millions of consumers in India."
Moreover, the App Accelerator is now open to iOS developers in India through a sign-up process on the App Accelerator Bengaluru website.
Over the past years, Apple has enhanced its focus on India, while announcing a slew of initiatives including the setting up of development centres, apart from planning to manufacture locally in the nation.
The Apple Inc. team had been making the rounds of the power corridors in Delhi from the last week of January, meeting officials of the commerce and other ministries to seek tax concessions for manufacturing and setting up its stores in India.
However, while Apple had already announced it would start an assembly unit for iPhones in Bengaluru, the Centre had expressed its inability to treat the global giant differently, as it would mean giving it favourable treatment while ignoring the requests of other companies that had set up shop earlier.
This renewed focus towards India could partially be explained by the decline in the smartphone manufacturer's sales in China.
According to Quartz, revenues from China slipped 26 percent to $12.5 billion, with the country losing the title of Apple's second-biggest market in the third quarter.
According to the publication, Greater China had overtaken Europe as the company's second largest operating segment by revenue in the second quarter of 2015, when it contributed $16.8 billion to Apple's top line.

Love Never Ends
The sun slowly set across the bay. From my perch on the end of the hurricane-damaged pier I sat alone—utterly alone— yet surrounded by endless memories. As I closed my eyes and listened, I could almost hear the laughter of my brother and cousins when we were children. I could hear our mom's calling out, "Don't run! Don't run on the pier!"
A mullet splashed and brought me back to the present. My thoughts turned to my grandfather. If only he could be in the swing sitting with me on the pier telling stories of hauling watermelons to New Orleans. Or maybe he would tell the story of getting married to my grandmother, of having seven dollars and the Pensacola judge asking ten dollars to perform their marriage. It left them no money for lunch. He perhaps would remind me they did not tell anyone they were married for two weeks and they only knew they loved each other. That was all that mattered.
As I sat on the pier and watched the sunset, I thought back to days when our entire family was together—Dad and Mom, Mammaw and Granddad, Babe and Preston, Patti, Paula, Mike, Johnny, my brother and me, Aunt Bert, Aunt Carrie, Aunt Teet–all of us together enjoying fish fries, water skiing, sailing, crabbing, fishing, swimming, and nights spent on the pier staring up into star-filled heavens. Summer days were filled with the essence of family, fun, seafood, salt water, sunshine, and the ingredient that made it all magic—love.
It was not that it had all been easy. There had been difficulties, heartaches, mistakes, deaths and sadness, but that is only part of being human. It is part of life. The thread that had kept us all together was love—love anchored by Granddad and Mammaw for sixty-three years and then by Granddad for the past several years. In my reverie on the pier, I realized that with his passing our anchor would be gone. Each family, now including great grand children, some of whom were adults, would drift farther away from the nucleus that Granddad had anchored. Our lives would change. The thread would unravel a little more.
I remembered how things changed when Mammaw passed on years earlier. We began using disposable plates at Thanksgiving and Christmas instead of her favorite china. Granddad missed her greatly but went on the best he could, honoring and loving her with a deep, true love. Granddad made an effort to step in and do things with my brother and me when our dad was unable. We rode horses together, sometimes with my brother Lance following along on his bicycle. I never realized until recently how he helped father us when our own father was sick.
Why is it that only when we face losing someone we love do we realize just how deep love's grooves are worn into our hearts?
An empty bottle floated past the pier. It bobbed slowly past as the current carried it out to sea. Our lives are so much like that bottle—floating along on the currents of time, steered by an unseen force from the day we are born until we die. Is it chance that steers the current of our lives together or is it some greater force that brings us into each other's presence? Maybe it is a little of both, but regardless, it is love that keeps us close, that brings us to a place of understanding and tolerance, of patience and peace.
I turned and looked back over my shoulder, up the pier to the moss-draped live oak trees and the large white house that my grandparents called home for so many years. I swear I could see Granddad walking down to the pier in his khaki work pants and shirt wearing his boots and straw hat to sit with me and tell me once more about…..memories flooded my mind and my heart listened wide open, as my grandfather shared his life story just one more time.
I wrote this after visiting my grandfather on the way back to North Carolina…just after his surgery and before Hurricane Katrina. A few days later I shared it at his funeral and later still, it ended up in a chapter of my first book, Sharks On My Fin Tips. (Published by Grateful Steps Publishing House, 2008).

Fred Hoult has been 'retired' for some years now, if you can really call it retirement. He doesn't have an office as such, so we met in a vacant office in his family's business complex at Hoults Yard, a new development on the site of Maling Pottery in Newcastle, from where his moving company operated for 40 years.
It's now a modern serviced office complex on a 10 acre site that has 73 companies taking office space and a further 17 companies occupying warehouse and factory units. Part of the site has self-storage with 372 lettable units. It's a big place and a far cry from the company's origins.
"My grandfather (Edward) was an estimator for the removals service operated by Bainbridges department store in Newcastle (now John Lewis)," Fred explained. "When the manager died, and he didn't get his job, he was pretty fed up. They pooled all their money, including my grandmother's co-op coupons, and bought four horses and two trailers. They started from nothing. There was no family money." That was the beginning. It was 1919, a time for a new beginning for many.
They were canny folk and worked hard. "They were aggressively commercial," said Fred. Three of their sons joined the business: Edward, Jimmy and Frederick (Fred's father). "Uncle Eddie did accounts, Jimmy looked after the vehicles, and my father was the salesman and the driving force of the business. They were all very well respected in Newcastle."
It was just after the First World War and the company was able to buy ex war department vehicles. These were much more flexible than the railway containers generally used for long distance removals and enabled Hoults to run a regular door-to-door service to London. They took removals south and deliveries from department stores as back loads. They built up good relationships with the top shops in London - Harrods, Heals, Barkers, etc. – serving their high worth clients. "Shopping was different in those days," said Fred. "Smart society went to London to do their shopping. We would collect from the stores and distribute goods all over the country." Eventually Hoults bought its own depot in London to serve the trade.
The company acquired Arts and General Carriers in London, a company that specialised in moving pianos and was soon moving around 150 a week in the 1930s. The company prospered and in 1947 it was able to buy the removals department of Bainbridges: sweet revenge it would have been for Grandad Edward, had he lived to see it.
Two years later the company had the opportunity to buy Malings Pottery in Newcastle as a going concern and also for storage potential and vehicle parking. The pottery had specialised in highly decorated earthenware but, during the war, it was only allowed to sell plain white utility crockery. By 1949 the pottery's stores were full of unsalable, coloured products and was very run down. "The intention was to close the pottery," said Fred. "But then a year after they had bought it the government lifted the restriction and they were able to sell all the coloured goods. They recovered the money they put down to buy the business in the first year." After that Frederick became very keen, replaced the coal-fired kilns with electric and took on agents all around the world. Young Fred was tipped to take on the pottery but sadly his father and Uncle Jimmy died and the decision was made to close it before he left school.
Fred and his brother (Tim) were the only male heirs. "I was at boarding school and no academic," said Fred. "I decided I would return to do an apprenticeship as a mechanical and electrical engineer with CA Parsons in Newcastle. It was a very fine company. If you had served your time at Parsons you could get a job anywhere." On completion of his five years, he joined the moving business.
It was some years later, as the moving company was thriving, that Fred had a little luck of his own. While accompanying an American antique dealer on a buying tour, he came across a house that was for sale. "It was a beautiful place with nine acres of land on the banks of the Tyne. It was £18,000 which I couldn't afford but thought was a good price. I put £3,000 down and borrowed the rest. I sold it to Laurie Barratt of Barratt Homes for £45,000 with an option to retain part of the land and build another house. I sold this one for £45,000 too and earned enough money on both deals to gear up so I could buy the remainder of the shares in the company from the family. I became the sole owner of Hoults Removals." Meanwhile, his brother became a successful accountant.
Fred became a well-known face in the industry including a term as the chairman of the Overseas Group of BAR, was BAR president in 1976 and became a director of Eurovan. He took an early leap into self storage, well ahead of the trend, and used the premises at Maling Pottery to offer space to anyone he could. "Anyone I could get £20 a week from, I'd do it."
He became interested in moving pianos into Europe. At that time the RORO services to Europe were just starting so he polished up his school French and went around saying: "Je suis Fred Hoult, le removal homme." He famously put mezzanine floors in his vans so he could move more pianos at a time and the business grew. He also worked for the government freight agents to provide a much more efficient system of returning service personnel's goods back to the UK. Hoults had three depots in Germany.
Pickfords at the time was a pain in his side. "Their principle was any price that Fred Hoult quotes just undercut it: that's hard going," he said. "I didn't think the company was directed well and I think historic events have proved me right. The National Freight Corporation (NFC), of which Pickfords formed part, had something like 750 properties on their books and so many of them were city centre that anyone could have made a success of it. They had the world at their feet. I don't think they ran the removal business well and so it was difficult competing against them."
It's perhaps no surprise then that Fred chose to sell Hoults in 1983 to Pickfords. "Originally I thought it might be a career move but I didn't enjoy working with them," he said. "I was probably not very easy to manage either as I was used to running my own show. But it seemed to me that very few of the businesses they bought at the time prospered long term."
While selling the business he also sold some of his property including a site in London and one in Glasgow. All three sales were going through simultaneously. "I had a frenetic time, I remember coming home and saying to my wife I don't know whether I'm a millionaire or I'm bust."
Hoults was a successful company. Asked what made it so, Fred said that it was the people who made the difference. He'd been able to recruit well. "I was a crap interviewer but within a fortnight I could tell if someone was any good." Among his prodigies were Bob Wyper who became commercially very successful and Geoff Watson, joint owner of Doree Bonner. He greatly admired Jean Jacques Borgsted, Jim Thompson and Ian Wilson. "Paul Evans is brilliant too," said Fred.
All of this is a window on Fred's character. Asked what he enjoyed about the moving industry Fred won't say the customers, the vans, the high office or the international travel. "I enjoyed being with the people," he said. In his youth he played rugby for Gosforth and liked nothing more than mixing with people from all sides of life on equal terms after the match. "It made me feel as though I was part of the town."
Since leaving the moving industry Fred has not been idle. He's bought and sold a farm, bought and sold a Vauxhall dealership, was chairman of a wire works, was chairman of the Freeman hospital in Newcastle, and set up a central purchasing system for the NHS. These were big jobs that he was invited to perform. "You shouldn't complain about the way officials do their job if you are not prepared to have a go yourself," he said.
Fred has been a tax commissioner, is still a magistrate and a school governor, was High Sherriff of Tyne and Wear in 1986 – looking after the Royal Family and visiting dignitaries, and eight years ago became the Vice Lord Lieutenant of Tyne & Wear. In that role he represents the Queen in the area. "It's prestigious and enjoyable," he said. "I get the chance to spend time with people who I wouldn't normally meet. The Royal Family have a great knack of bringing the best out of people."
Today, Charlie Hoult, Fred's son is MD of the business with his daughter Anabel as chairman. His other daughter, Louise, is a GP in Oxford. Charlie has overseen the complete transformation of the old pottery in recent years, not least with the street art all around, painted by famous artists glad to have a legal wall on which to display their talent. There is also a chance that the dynasty might continue if any of Fred's nine grandchildren choose to get involved. If you ever meet Fred, and want to wind him up, just mention inheritance tax then stand back and watch his face turn puce.
For Fred there are plenty of things other than work to occupy him. He's always been a keen sailor and still has a small boat on Holy Island. He came to our meeting fresh from a tennis lesson … a lesson mind you! He said that at his age the rallies are not very long so he finds it helpful to have a coach fire balls at him for a while. It is also good for him to help recover his fitness after a recent quadruple bypass. "I like winning," he said. "I don't like people to get the better of me; but it's not an obsession." Hmmm! I'm not convinced Fred. http://www.hoults.co.uk/

Parents teach by example what it means to be philanthropic, kind, and generous.
In this spirit, Mona Friedman Kolko's four grown children, Jill, Marty, Jed and Danielle, all of whom live in various parts of the country, contacted Hillel Community Day School to make a gift in honor of a special birthday of hers. Jill and Marty were students at Hillel Community Day School. They each have their own memories of the school and knew how involved their mother was back then, and still is to this day. Mona is a member of the Hillel School board of trustees and has been an advocate and supporter of the school for over 40 years. This is only one of her many involvements in the Rochester community. Mona is also an active board member of the Jewish Federation of Greater Rochester. She is also involved with the Lane Dworkin Jewish Book Festival; the Women's Council of the Jewish Senior Life Foundation and the Gallery Council of the Memorial Art Gallery. Most recently she is helping to bring the profound national exhibit, "Fabric of Survival: The Art of Esther Nisenthal Krinitz" to the Memorial Art Gallery from Aug. 17 to Dec. 2.
Knowing Mona's love of books and of HCDS, the children decided to make a donation to the newly renovated library and media center. A plaque has been mounted to the school's library book return in recognition of this gift and in honor of Mona. Hillel School invited her in for a visit and surprised her with a birthday celebration with students and the official reveal of the new plaque. She was stunned honored by this gesture, in the school that has been an important part of her life.

An Intro to Run-Flat Tires
The other day while in the car with my parents, I noticed a Jeep drive by with its spare tire mounted on the back. Being the curious type, I asked my parents where the spare tire for our car was located and learned that we had run-flat tires. To be honest, I wasn't exactly sure what run-flat tires were, so I did a little research. There are 3 main types … Continue reading

JJ Opines, August 2018: Struggling with Sonos, Genius of Sony, Charlie Kindel
This month's Editor Notes from CE Pro's Julie Jacobson, opining on Sonos, Sony, Samsung Bixby, Kaleidescape, and Emerald's acquisition of CE Pro.
If you don't subscribe to CE Pro's email newsletter, you're missing the mini-editorials penned by founding editor Julie Jacobson. Here are some of the choice opinions from August newsletters.
The Big 'Sonos Story'
Aug. 29 – I struggled with a headline for The Sonos Story. For them – and for the CE Pro channel – the story is big and significant. They went on the road, talked to dealers, and really took their needs to heart when developing the next-gen Sonos Amp. And when I say "next gen," I mean seriously a generation. My kids graduated kindergarten, went to college, married and had children of their own in the time it took Sonos to develop a successor to Connect: Amp. The new amp is rack-friendly with a strong feature set, supported by – wait for it – an open API for integration. It is truly an open API, with lots of goodness exposed and usable to developers. They've wrapped a strong channel program around it, with benefits like early access to products before their release to the mass market.
on new Sonos Amp
Good for Sonos! Awesome for the channel! Yet it does pain me to speak so glowingly about a company that is only now doing what so many channel-centric vendors have done for years – the NuVos and Russounds of the world, as well as so many others. But I can't apologize for cheering on Sonos in this monumental effort. It's like when I wrote a nice story about Control4's new "Intercom Anywhere" system. Industry folks complained, "We've been doing that for years!" Well, Control4 hadn't been doing it, and the news was huge for Control4 dealers. Sonos has a lot more dealers than Contro4 does, so this news is kind of earth-shattering. It will be interesting to see where it takes us.
EH Acquisition: The Day After
Aug. 22 – Yesterday was a crazy day with the announcement that Emerald Expositions, owner of the CEDIA Expo, acquired CE Pro and related brands from EH Media. Thank you for the outpouring of support. The energy in our building is off the charts.
In particular, I want to thank industry editor Patrick McCarthy for his thoughtful blog on Technology Integrator. In a very professional way, he expressed concerns about the industry's dominant tradeshow subsuming an industry-leading voice. His concerns are of course valid. We are only human, but we at CE Pro will continue to strive for objectivity, even if it makes Mama Bear angry. We know a whole lot of people will be watching us to make sure we do!
Emerald Acquires CE Pro
Aug. 21 – You might have read the news today that CE Pro, Commercial Integrator, Security Sales & Integration and some other related "Connected" brands in the EH Media family were sold to Emerald Expo, the company that acquired CEDIA Expo last year. Hundreds of messages have poured in over the day, most of them starting with a nervous: Are you OK? Is Jason OK? Not only are we OK, we are super-psyched. This is a core group of EH brands that has grown by its bootstraps. We can't wait to learn and grow with Emerald and, well, they like us. They really like us. That's pretty cool. Thank you for all your gracious and encouraging messages. This will be fun!
Distributors are Awesome
Aug. 17 – Full disclosure: I came from distribution. Our CEO Ken Moyes came from distribution. CE Pro was founded because our security dealers needed to learn more about home-automation, which is why we started a division to that end. We charged $700 for two-day training on X-10, Xantech, HAI and Leviton. Then we launched HA Pro, now CE Pro. So, yeah, I kinda have a soft spot for distribution. Many dealers pooh pooh it. "I buy direct," they boast. Do the math. Buying direct isn't always the best deal. Besides, you miss out on coffee, donuts, and lively chatter. Have you hugged a distributor lately? We have a few choice huggees here. Yeah, Dennis, you know you want it.
Apple and Samsung Challenge Amazon and Google
Aug. 15 – Well, we may finally see a couple of viable competitors for Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. This week Samsung announced the Galaxy Home smart speaker, featuring its Bixby voice-control technology. Bixby is more than a voice assistant, though. It's a complete platform including impressive AI capabilities and a rich integration engine. The Bixby demo at CES 2018 was possibly the most amazing, incredibly practical implementation of voice control and AI that I've ever experienced. By the way, the new speaker system is powered by Harman's AKG (owned by Samsung), makers of some of the most coveted microphones in the live-sound business. Will they demo the new product at CEDIA? We hope!
Besides Samsung, Apple seems to be making moves in home control. The company just joined the Thread Group at the board-of-directors level. This is not a company that joins tech boards just to stay vigilant. The only good reason to participate in Thread is if you're interested in communicating locally with lightweight IoT devices such as sensors, thermostats and door locks. Looks like Apple could be getting serious about HomeKit and maybe Siri.
Kaleidescape Brings Barry Sonnenfeld to CEDIA
Aug. 14 – The timing couldn't be better for a dedicated home theater. Kaleidescape CEO Cheena Srinivasan tells me, "Somewhere in the last three years, we hit an inflection point. You can now have a better home-theater experience than in your neighborhood cinema." Sure enough, we now have the projectors, screens, displays, seating, content, audio, and all the other niceties that have long been the sole domain of the local theater – minus the sticky floors. Kaleidescape has an advocate in Barry Sonnenfeld, the famed director and cinematographer, who will share his vision of the modern-day home-theater experience at CEDIA Expo. In a word: Cool!
Control4 Nabs Kindel
Aug. 3 – Control4 has hired Charlie Kindel, the wiz kid who brought smart home to the masses via Amazon Echo. No, C4 is going all mass-market on us. CEO Martin Plaehn swears up and down the company is "maniacally" focused on the custom installation channel, and Kindel is cool with that. In fact, it was his own 16-year home-automation project that really hit home the value of the pro channel. He could get things up and running pretty well, but when it came to maintenance and nuance, he wasn't the guy for that. This will be fun – a mass-market home-automation guy pitching the home-tech installation channel! And he's a really nice guy, too. Congrats to team Sonos (SONO) on a successful IPO!
Sony's Netflix-Optimized TVs
Aug. 1 – I can't think of a more compelling sales pitch than this: Hey, do you watch Netflix on your TV? Then you really should buy a Sony Master Series display. The new line of OLED and LCDs have an exclusive Netflix Calibrated Mode that renders video with the same quality as a movie studio's post-production reference monitors. The director of the "Lost in Space" series got up on stage during a recent press conference and said so. The idea is genius from a marketing perspective (totally brilliant!), but the feature offers real value to consumers who stream, which is pretty much all of your customers. Well done, Sony.
High-Performance Audio & Larry Pexton
DALI, creator of high-performance sound systems, is the first third-party manufacturer to implement Lenbrook's BluOS streaming audio platform. The new $800 Sound Hub and Callisto 2C active speaker ($3,500/pair) hopefully will bring attention to high-performance wireless systems that support high-resolution audio. It's a category that seems to challenge integrators, and I'm not sure why. Clearly, wireless audio is a hugely popular category. Surely some die-hard Sonos fans might enjoy ONE room of really good sound, no? Products like the new DALIs should motivate integrators to sell – really sell – this product category to clients who never knew they wanted it.
Heartiest congratulations to Larry Pexton, the latest CEDIA Fellow honoree. Founder of Triad, Larry has been a tireless advocate of high-performance audio and a committed industry volunteer.

The following is an excerpt from The Catholic Spirit: An Anthology for Discovering Faith Through Literature, Art, Film, and Music entitled "St. Francis and the Animals" from the writings of Thomas of Celano. It has been adapted by John Feister. The Catholic Spirit is arranged around the four pillars of the Catechism of the Catholic Church and includes a free study guide and other resources to help facilitate classroom use.
Author Background
Thomas of Celano (1200–ca. 1255) was a companion of St. Francis of Assisi. He wrote two biographies of St. Francis and a book on the miracles of St. Francis. It is from Celano's works that we learn about St. Francis's love of nature and how he interacted with the creatures of the land, sky, and sea.
Before the Reading
St. Francis had the ability to see the presence of God in all things. He authored the first great poem written in Italian vernacular. St. Francis's poem, "The Canticle of the Creatures," expresses his ability to find God even in the humblest of circumstances. Similarly, the following reading is a wonderful example of how St. Francis communicated with his "brothers and sisters" in the animal world. St. Francis is the patron saint of animals and the environment. Many people place status of St. Francis in their gardens, yards, or wherever nature is nearby.
St. Francis Preaches to the Birds
Father Francis and his companions were making a trip through the Spoleto Valley near the town of Bevagna. Suddenly, Francis spotted a great number of birds of all varieties. There were doves, crows, and all sorts of birds. Swept up in the moment, Francis left his friends in the road and ran after the birds, who patiently waited for him. He greeted them in his usual way, expecting them to scurry off into the air as he spoke. But they moved not.
Filled with awe, he asked them if they would stay awhile and listen to the Word of God. He said to them: "My brother and sister birds, you should praise your Creator and always love him: He gave you feathers for clothes, wings to fly. and all other things that you need. It is God who made you noble among all creatures, making your home in thin, pure air. Without sowing or reaping, you receive God's guidance and protection."
At this the birds began to spread their wings, stretch their necks and gaze at Francis, rejoicing and praising God in a wonderful way according to their nature. Francis then walked right through the middle of them, turned around and came back, touching their heads and bodies with his tunic.
Then he gave them his blessing, making the Sign of the Cross over them. At that they flew off and Francis, rejoicing and giving thanks to God, went on his way. Later, Francis wondered aloud to his companions why he had never preached to birds before. And from that day on, Francis made it his habit to solicitously invoke all birds, all animals and reptiles to praise and love their Creator. And many times during Francis' life there were remarkable events of Francis speaking to the animals. There was even a time when St. Francis quieted a flock of noisy birds that were interrupting a religious ceremony! Much to the wonder of all present, the birds remained quiet until Francis' sermon was complete.
St. Francis and the Rabbits and Fish
One day a brother brought a rabbit who had been caught in a trap to St. Francis. Francis advised the rabbit to be more alert in the future, then released the rabbit from the trap and set it on the ground to go its way. But the rabbit hopped back up onto Francis' lap, desiring to be close to the saint.
Francis took the rabbit a few steps into the woods and set it down. But it followed Francis back to his seat and hopped on his lap again! Finally Francis asked one of his fellow friars to take the rabbit far into the woods and let it go. That worked. This type of thing happened repeatedly to Francis—which he saw as an opportunity to praise the glory of God. If the simplest creatures could be so endowed with God's wonder, how much the more so we humans!
Fish were also known to obey Francis. Whenever a fish was caught and Francis was nearby, he would return the fish to the water, warning it not to be caught again. On several occasions the fish would linger awhile near the boat, listening to Francis preach, until he gave them permission to leave. Then they would swim off. In every work of art, as St. Francis called all creation, he would praise the artist, our loving Creator.
St. Francis and the Wolf
Perhaps the most famous story of St. Francis is when he tamed the wolf that was terrorizing the people of Gubbio. While Francis was staying in that town he learned of a wolf so ravenous that it was not only killing and eating animals, but people, too. The people took up arms and went after it, but those who encountered the wolf perished at its sharp teeth. Villagers became afraid to leave the city walls.
Francis had pity on the people and decided to go out and meet the wolf. He was desperately warned by the people, but he insisted that God would take care of him. A brave friar and several peasants accompanied Francis outside the city gate. But soon the peasants lost heart and said they would go no farther.
Francis and his companion began to walk on. Suddenly the wolf, jaws agape, charged out of the woods at the couple. Francis made the Sign of the Cross toward it. The power of God caused the wolf to slow down and to close its mouth.
Then Francis called out to the creature: "Come to me, Brother Wolf. In the name of Christ, I order you not to hurt anyone." At that moment the wolf lowered its head and lay down at St. Francis' feet, meek as a lamb.
St. Francis explained to the wolf that he had been terrorizing the people, killing not only animals, but humans who are made in the image of God. "Brother Wolf," said Francis, "I want to make peace between you and the people of Gubbio. They will harm you no more and you must no longer harm them. All past crimes are to be forgiven."
The wolf showed its assent by moving its body and nodding its head. Then to the absolute surprise of the gathering crowd, Francis asked the wolf to make a pledge. As St. Francis extended his hand to receive the pledge, so the wolf extended its front paw and placed it into the saint's hand. Then Francis commanded the wolf to follow him into town to make a peace pact with the townspeople. The wolf meekly followed St. Francis.
By the time they got to the town square, everyone was there to witness the miracle. With the wolf at his side, Francis gave the town a sermon on the wondrous and fearful love of God, calling them to repent from all their sins. Then he offered the townspeople peace, on behalf of the wolf. The townspeople promised in a loud voice to feed the wolf. Then Francis asked the wolf if he would live in peace under those terms. He bowed his head and twisted his body in a way that convinced everyone he accepted the pact. Then once again the wolf placed its paw in Francis' hand as a sign of the pact.
From that day on the people kept the pact they had made. The wolf lived for two years among the townspeople, going from door to door for food. It hurt no one and no one hurt it. Even the dogs did not bark at it. When the wolf finally died of old age, the people of Gubbio were sad. The wolf's peaceful ways had been a living reminder to them of the wonders, patience, virtues and holiness of St. Francis. It had been a living symbol of the power and providence of the living God.
Reading for Comprehension
How did the birds react to St. Francis's sermon?
What did the rabbit do when St. Francis set it free?
What did St. Francis do with the fish that had been caught?
How did St. Francis stop the wolf when he charged violently at the saint?
Why did the people of Gubbio mourn when the wolf died?
Reading for Understanding
Who are "human wolves" that commit crimes and disrupt the community? How does God want us to teach such people?
When was a time when you saw how reconciliation and forgiveness took place among classmates? What was the result of that experience?
How effective are stories like these in teaching truths of faith? Why do you think parents and teachers use stories to teach young children about the wonders of God?
Jesus also used stories to instruct his followers. Read the parable of the Lost Son (Lk 15:11–32). What lesson was Jesus trying to impart when he told this story to the Pharisees?
