Business Secretary praises Welsh firms for being at the cutting edgeby Nick Powell
The Business Secretary Vince Cable will be at Celsa Steel in Cardiff today as part of a tour of Welsh businesses. He will be getting an idea of the range of Welsh businesses as he will also see the new drama village in Cardiff Bay and visited the Pontprennau shopping centre last night. He is now on the second day of a tour that began in Powys.
– Vince Cable MP, Business Secretary
I was very impressed with what I saw in Llandrindod Wells. We met with companies right at the cutting edge of science and design. And the questions we had in the Q and A session showed the desire and potential for businesses to grow in this area. They also gave me some excellent ideas that I will take back to the Business department.
At Skye Instruments, which exports much of the environmental and agricultural monitoring equipment it makes in Llandrindod Wells, Mr Cable was asked to introduce a 'Made in Britain' logo for UK manufacturers.

According to speculation from the Chicago Sun Times the Sox are probably headed for a mid-season fire sale. Basically the gist of the article is that the team will probably win more, but in the ultra competitive AL Central they don't stand a chance. The time frame for this, according to the Sun Time, would start around the All Star break. The article also covers the failure that is the Cubs, but the interesting part deals with the fact that the Sox are older, slower, more prone to injuries and continuing to get more expensive. I'd toss in the fact they don't have enough pitching, but that's just my take. Williams can't contend and rebuild at the same time (he should've asked Shapiro how that turned out).
If this speculation holds true, there's at least a bit less competition in the division to overcome.

|My firsts
|Wednesday, June 26, 2013 12:57 PM
All through our lives we have a series of "firsts." First happenings in our life can make us excited, lonely, sad, joyful, happy or even afraid. Some of them we like to remember, others we want to forget.
I remember the first time I rode a bicycle. I was nervous, scared and excited. I fell off that bike many times and had a lot of scraped knees, but was so happy when I could finally ride that bike up and down our road.
One of my "first" memories was when I was 3 years old and sang a song in church. I was happy and proud, but a little apprehensive. However, I went up to the platform and sang the song, "Hand In Hand With Jesus." That "first" I will never forget.

By Stephanie Springer - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) –Students in Wilcox County will have shorter weeks next year. To save money, the school board has approved a four day school week.
Students are likely happy about the news, but there are some concerns.
When students and faculty return to school in Wilcox County next August things will be a bit different.
"Our calendar looks very similar to our current calendar except Mondays we will have the schools closed and we will stay longer each day," said School Superintendent
From 8:00am until 4:00pm, students will spend Tuesday through Friday at school. Every week they will have Saturday, Sunday and Monday to themselves. For staff, 7:30am to 4:45.
"We've realized we are going to continue to see cuts we just need to be proactive and that's really what precipitated this meeting," said Smith.
School Superintendent Steve Smith says the board got the idea from Peach County, who were one of the first school systems in the state to make the switch, and so far, they've seen great progress.
"They are seeing a reduced number of discipline referrals and a reduced number of teacher absenteeism," said Smith.
In addition to improved student achievement, the move should save the school system 100,000 dollars and keep taxes down.
But the decision doesn't come without concerns.
"We are concerned about children not having access to our nutrition on Mondays so we are looking at expanding our feeding program to provide some nutrition for some kids on Monday," said Smith.
School officials are also looking at grant opportunity to provide daycare for students on Monday too.
"We had a local church say that they would provide Monday daycare for children so we really would like to feed those kids some healthy snacks while they are at daycare," said Smith.
With recent cuts, it will likely be a tough few years in education, and Smith says his goal is to minimize the impact on children as much as possible.
The superintendent says there have been concerns that the move will cut out a percentage of pay for bus drivers and nutrition workers but they are actually trying to find a way to possibly pay bus drivers more, and somehow provide nutrition on Mondays.
The superintendent says teacher pay will not be affected by this decision. It will go into affect Tuesday August 10, 2010

Wigan are currently cut three points adrift at the bottom, albeit with a game in hand on the side above them, Aston Villa. Win that game, and they'd move level on points with the Villains. However, with that match not coming up for a few weeks, they just need to keep the pressure on for the time being.
They host the unpredictable Tottenham Hotspur this weekend, who are fresh from an excellent victory against Manchester City at White Hart Lane. Currently occupying the fifth-place Europa League spot, they're only a point behind Chelsea and the Champions League. This game offers Spurs a great chance to bolster their top-four hopes.
Wigan will be without Antolín Alcaraz who limped out of last weekend's defeat to Aston Villa, while his fellow centre-back Iván Ramis and midfielder Ben Watson are set to miss the rest of the season through injury. With an FA Cup final on the horizon, they can't afford many more injuries.
As for Spurs, they've had some good news, in that Aaron Lennon is available after three games out. However, William Gallas, Younes Kaboul and Sandro remain unavailable.
Wigan Athletic injuries and suspensions
Out: Antolín Alcaraz (hamstring), Iván Ramis (knee) and Ben Watson (leg) In doubt: None
Tottenham Hotspur injuries and suspensions
Out: William Gallas (calf), Younes Kaboul (knee), Sandro (knee) In doubt: None
Match Date\Time: Saturday, 3 p.m. local, 10 a.m. ET
Venue: DW Stadium, Wigan, England
TV: Fox Soccer Channel (U.S. English), FOX Deportes (U.S. Spanish), Premier Sports (U.K.)

English and Math Placement
English Placement
An English placement exam is required for all new day program first-year students and transfer students who have not received transfer credit for ENGL100. The exam is administered online and graded by English faculty members from the Humanities, Social Sciences and Management department.
Based on the results of the exam, students may be placed in one of three courses: ENGL020, English Language Skills; ENGL100, English I; or ENGL125, Honors English I. Students must then complete an English sequence as detailed under Graduation Requirements on page 57. All Arioch Scholars are eligible to begin their English sequence with ENGL125.
International students are typically placed into ENGL013, College Writing: International. Students then must complete a specific English sequence as detailed under Graduation Requirements on page 57.
CPCE students take their English placement exam during the first meeting of ENGL105, English Composition. Students are then placed into that class or into ENGL025, English Language and Composition Skills. Students must then complete a specific English sequence as detailed under Graduation Requirements on page 57.
Math Placement
New day program students are placed into their initial math course based on the highest score attained on the math portion of the SAT. Students who are placed into a math course higher than the initial course for their degree program will get a waiver for the preceding courses, but must earn the credit hours by taking elective courses.
Transfer students are placed in math courses based on math courses completed prior to matriculating at Wentworth. If no math transfer credit is granted, placement is based on the student's highest SAT math score.
CPCE program applicants must complete an online math placement test no later than one full week prior to the start of the semester and before registering for MATH225, College Mathematics A. Applicants who receive transfer credit for MATH225 or who have been advised to enroll in Basic Algebra (MATH120) are not required to complete the test. Each section of the exam will only be given to a student once a semester.
The exam consists of three sections:
- Section I - College Mathematics A
- Section II - College Mathematics B
- Section III - College Mathematics C
All students must take Section I of the exam. Students are not required to take the other sections unless they are seeking placement into a higher level of mathematics. A student who passes both sections of the exam will be awarded advanced standing credit for College Mathematics A and advised that he/she may advance in the sequence of mathematics courses. Students requiring remediation will be advised of their options regarding preparatory course work available. If a student in College Mathematics A, B, or C feels that he/she could test out of a mathematics course, he/she should contact CPCE to arrange to take a comprehensive mathematics placement exam.
Transfer Credit
Recognizing that students can acquire some of the prerequisite learning and competency skills outside of Wentworth's learning environment, applicants and matriculated students may petition the Institute to approve the substitution of equivalent and documented collegiate or professional experiences for specific courses in the published curriculum.
Advanced Placement Testing Credit
Advanced Placement (AP) test scores of 3, 4, and 5 are acceptable for credit. AP Biology credit will be allowed as a general or science elective. In addition to the list of courses below, the Electromechanical Engineering (BELM) program will also accept AP credit for Engineering Physics I and II (PHYS310 and 320) and Computer Science I using (COMP120).

When Thomas Jones came to the Kansas City Chiefs in 2010, many felt he was the thunder to Jamaal Charles' lightning. It turned out that Jones only had about eight games or so left in his gas tank, and it became more like stone-legs and lightning. With the newly-acquired Peyton Hillis in town, the Chiefs may have finally found that compliment to Charles they've been searching for.
After bursting onto the scene as a better version of Mike Alstott the year before with 1,177 yards and 4.4 YPC, Hillis fell out of favor with the Cleveland front office and fans alike.
Now, he has a chance at redemption with Kansas City. Hillis may not be the feature back he appeared to be two years ago, but he's easily a top complimentary back in the league if healthy.
One of the most unheralded parts of Hillis' game is his pass-catching ability. In that magical year of 2010, Hillis hauled in 61 passes. That's Ray Rice-esque and could be another added dimension to Brian Daboll's new offense.
With Charles coming off of a torn ACL, it's doubtful head coach Romeo Crennel would want to give him the ball 20+ times right off the bat. Whether Charles can handle that load immediately is another question, but it's most likely the prudent move to ease him back in.
The combination might start to fully hit it's stride by the middle of the season and could become extremely potent. As any Chiefs fan knows, Arrowhead Stadium can become a cold place in the latter months of the year, making a hard-nosed ground attack all the more necessary.
If Hillis is pounding away at the defensive line early between the tackles, Charles can come in and really expose a tired group with sweeps, off-tackle plays and tosses to the outside. Of course it could be done in reverse form as well, with Hillis following Charles' lead.
Not to disrespect Jackie Battle who did a nice job for Kansas City last year, but he and Hillis aren't in the same league. Hillis can make plays and intimidate defenders in ways Battle simply cannot. Battle served his purpose in replacing Charles last season, but there's a reason he's still available and Hillis isn't.
Charles and Hillis will surely see some time in the backfield together. In those formations, teams have to be ready for either to go into a pass pattern or the possibility of one of them taking a handoff. If Charles gets the carry and runs right, he could be behind Hillis with Eric Winston and Jon Asamoah out in front. Talk about a nightmare for the opposition's coordinator.
Everyone likes to watch a game in nice weather, but I wouldn't mind seeing a little thunder and lightning every Sunday.
I'm not a fan of self-promotion, but as some of you already know I've written an NFL preview magazine entitled TOTAL NFL which will be hitting newsstands in the New York City area on July 11.
Of course, most of you don't live in that area, so I'm setting up a website that any of you can visit and purchase a magazine if you would like. The cost is $7.99 with free shipping. If you're nice enough to support me, I'll be more than happy to send it free of charge right to your door.
It's 176 pages with five pages of content dedicated to each team, including of course the Chiefs. It includes a breakdown of the team, coach, and every draft pick from the last two years in depth. If you have any more questions, please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The website link will be posted shortly, so just keep an eye out. It will be announced on here, so you will be well aware. Thanks so much for your time.

Bond was set Tuesday for an Alabama couple who led police on a high speed chase through two counties Monday night.
Jamie May, 32, of Bessemer, Al. and Margaret Bates, 29, of Hueytown, Al. were arrested in a wooded area near Sumrall after fleeing from authorities. Both May and Bates are facing 11 different counts including three counts each of felony assault on an officer.
Covington County deputies were alerted by a resident the couple was attempting to sell a chainsaw out of the back of there vehicle at Keith's Superstore in Seminary. When deputies arrived the couple took off at a high rate of speed heading toward Lamar County. Deputies alerted other agencies and they were joined in the chase by officers from the Highway Patrol, Lamar County Sheriff's Department, and Sumrall Police Department.
"When the call went out there was a pursuit going on in Covington County that was going towards Lamar County and the officers were in jeopardy for their lives," said Deputy Michael Kelly, department spokesperson. "Agencies from all over came to our aid and we can't thank them enough for being there for us."
The officers were able to force the couple on to a one way road. When the couple tried to back up, officers opened fire on the car in an attempt to disable it. The couple was not hit and they fled into a nearby wooded area where they were soon captured.
"if it wasn't for the witness coming forward and giving us the tip we wouldn't have been able to apprehend these two suspects. We don't know what kind of burglaries or drug spree they were about to go on in the Town of Seminary."
Justice Court Judge set bond for the two at $622,000 each.

Further cementing the hit status of inescapable summer jam "Billionaire," Travie McCoy and Bruno Mars followed up their Tonight Show and Late Night With Jimmy Fallon appearances with a stint on Lopez Tonight. And keep it up, Bruno—at the rate you're cranking the songs out, you might fulfill that dream of unlimited cash flow sooner than you think. Side note: the height difference between these two didn't hit us until watching the clip below.

LMAO @ height difference. It's a little striking 'cause Travie's 6'5. Nevertheless, an immeasurable amount of talent loaded in that modest body of his. :)
Amen to that! It's so refreshing to find people whose talent is way beyond any physical measurement, right? GBY.

WACO, Texas (AP) - Former Baylor defensive end Tevin Elliott has been indicted in a sexual assault investigation in Texas.
A McLennan County grand jury Monday indicted Elliott on three counts of sexual assault. Investigators say two counts involved an alleged assault April 15 during a party in Waco.
The Waco Tribune-Herald reports details on the other count were sealed because Elliott had not been arrested in that case.
Elliott attorney Jason Darling says the initial allegations are untrue and the sexual encounter was consensual. Darling was unaware of allegations in a second case.
Elliott had 63 tackles and eight sacks in two seasons with Baylor. He was suspended April 27 for unspecified team violations and arrested April 30. Elliott was freed on $10,000 bond.
He later transferred to Central Arkansas.

October was National Crime Prevention Month and once again many communities throughout the nation took part in an event called Celebrating Safe Communities.
It was created in 2008 by the National Crime Prevention Council and the Bureau of Justice Assistance at the U.S. Department of Justice in partnership with the National Sheriffs' Association to promote crime prevention in communities across the country.
Neighborhoods have been participating from small block parties to much larger-scale events. The idea is to get people out of their homes and interact with their neighbors and local law enforcement to help keep their communities safe.
Many Crime Watch groups here in Miami Dade County put together their Celebrating Safe Communities events all month long. These included activities with their district officers and command staff, distribution of crime prevention material, and displaying the police helicopter and the crime prevention bus. Of course, a crime prevention event is nothing without McGruff the Crime Dog's appearance, and even his nephew Scruff has stopped by at some events.
Some of the areas that have participated this year include El Portal, Miami Lakes, Pinecrest, Biscayne Park and the Miami-Dade Police Department's South, Midwest, Kendall, Hammocks and Intracoastal districts.
Speaking of crime prevention, another exciting moment this month was the annual Florida Crime Prevention Association's Southern States Conference, which took place Oct. 14-18 in Sarasota. Miami-Dade Citizens Crime Watch staff attended along with colleagues from elsewhere in Florida. The conference included classes on such topics as financial and investment fraud, gang recognition, identity theft and crime prevention.
Our very own Carmen Caldwell presented on the topic of neighborhood watches. (Carmen is recovering from a bad case of food poisoning this week, but will return to writing this column soon.)
It is also an opportunity to reward the hard work of the many crime-prevention officers and volunteers at an awards banquet during the conference. The Palmetto Bay police won for crime prevention unit of the year. Officers Peter Judge and Patience Glasko work diligently in various crime prevention programs in the village.
Until next time, be safe and remember to get involved in your community!

Haggerty English Language Program faculty Sarah Elia '08g (Secondary Education) and Jessica Marchi '10g (Secondary Education) are receiving attention—nationally and internationally—for their research in instructional technology. Their focus is on free, easy-to-use- technology, such as websites and apps, and smartphone features like the camera and voice recorder.
"Our students are already using this technology," notes Elia, who was recently voted second vice president-elect of New York State Teachers of English as a Second Language (TESOL) organization. By introducing them to specific features and assigning interactive tasks, students are able to evaluate their pronunciation, recognize vocabulary words in different contexts, and share ideas with their peers.
Elia and Marchi have presented their research, titled "Trendy Technology: Free & Engaging Apps, Websites, & Software that Enhance Learning," at the 2012 New York State TESOL Conference in Albany and at the 2013 Applied Linguistics Winter Conference at Columbia University, and will present at the 2013 International TESOL Convention later this month in Dallas, Texas.
The topic is popular and their research has been well-received by colleagues in the field. Elia and Marchi published an article on their research in the Winter 2012/2013 issue of Idiom, a New York State TESOL publication. Upon recommendation of the Haggerty English Language Program director, Connie Perdreau, Elia was interviewed for an article in the March/April 2013 issue of International Educator magazine.

Many slightly different versions of Leda's myth exist. I like to start with images from Maurice Sendak's third great picture book, Outside Over There, which seem inspired by the idea of babes born to birdlike women, born inside eggshells. I showed them to you last term, but unfortunately I can't locate the images online so you'll have to wait 'til I get home to scan them.
So instead we'll start with the myth proper.
Though married to Tyndareus, king of Sparta, Leda lay one night with both Zeus and her husband, the king. Zeus, King of the Greek Gods, seduced her while deceptively disguised as a beautiful swan, and her husband Tyndareus followed the feathered philanderer into her featherbed, resulting in the birth of two sets of twins. The many sources for the story disagree about whether human or divine father spawned Castor and Pollux (the Gemini twins) and Clytemnestra and Helen (the face that launched a thousand ships... the most beautiful of women whose abduction began the Trojan War). Some say Zeus fathered the boys and Tyndareus the girls, some say Zeus fathered Pollux and Helen, and Tyndareus Castor and Clytemnestra. I guess they didn't have dna testing. Like the children in Sendak's picture book, Leda's four children emerged from eggshells at their birth, two per egg.
Like this:
This image shows Leda embracing Zeus in the form of a swam immediately after the hatching of her two pairs of twins. And unnamed follower of Leonardo painted it in 1580, presumably using a cartoon (full sized sketch) painted by Leonardo... that cartoon is now lost, but history has preserved this sketch, by Leonardo, of Leda's lovely head.

-William Butler Yeats
A sudden blow: the great wings beating still
Above the staggering girl, her thighs caressed
By the dark webs, her nape caught in his bill,
He holds her helpless breast upon his breast.
How can those terrified vague fingers push
The feathered glory from her loosening thighs?
And how can body, laid in that white rush,
But feel the strange heart beating where it lies?

The broken wall, the burning roof and tower
And Agamemnon dead.
Being so caught up,
So mastered by the brute blood of the air,
Did she put on his knowledge with his power
Before the indifferent beak could let her drop?

The Coin Analyst: Is "Mint to Demand" the New Normal?

One year ago Sunday an EF 4 tornado plowed through Mississippi destroying lives and homes in Attala, Choctaw, Holmes, Warren and Yazoo counties.
Ten people were killed.
The hardest hit area was Yazoo City where four people died.
Today the Delta town is slowly recovering.
"It wasn't a pretty day a year ago today," said Josiah Moton of Yazoo City as he looks back on that fateful Saturday morning.
"I have flashbacks of that day often when I'm out here," said Moton's wife Morgan.
Two days before Josiah and Morgan Moton were to be married their lives were turned upside down by a tornado that destroyed their newly built six month old house.
On the morning of April 24th 2010 their home on Old Benton Road and nearly every house around them were reduced to rubble.
"We could see the wind was picking up but it got black all of a sudden and we went to the bathroom and we could just hear the house just flying away, piece by piece you could hear the trees cracking," said 28-year-old Morgan Moton.
"Every time it rains or the winds get bad we leave. We don't even stick around period. We don't stick around. My wife is scary now," said 32-year-old Josiah Moton.
This Easter Sunday the couple attended church and reflected on the tragedy with family members.
They are among the few who have rebuilt.
Many homes around them remain vacant.
One hundred seventy mile per hour winds stripped houses from their foundations leaving slabs that still remain.
Trees are twisted and bent.
Life seems in some places to have stood still.
A car is upside down in a ravine and a piece of twisted metal hangs in a treetop in the Moton's front yard.
"It's still glass and debris in the yard. It's like I can never get all the glass picked up," said Morgan Moton, a customer service representative.
In Yazoo City 107 homes were destroyed with more than 160 sustaining major to minor damage.
The Motons married in September and are grateful that in mid December they were able to return to their home.
Now they are thinking of tornado victims in Clinton and Jackson.
"When I got off work that day I rode over there to see if there was anything I could do for anybody over there, and my prayers just go out to them," said the Yazoo City wife and mother.
"Keep the faith. I totally understand what they've been going through. It's going to get better," said the Yazoo City painter .
The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency reports that more than 150 people were injured statewide while 390 homes were destroyed received major damage.

SMITHVILLE, GA (WALB) - The Lee County Sheriff's office arrested Russell Jenkins of Smithville, a man they say they've been after for years. Prosecutors say they'll try to get life in prison for Jenkins, on federal charges.
Investigators say busting drug dealers in Smithville isn't easy. They won't sell to anyone they don't know. They've even tried bringing in undercover agent from Atlanta and had no luck. After ten years they've finally shut down Russell Jenkins.
"He was distributing it all around, in other counties also," says Lee County Sheriff Harold Breeden.
Last week they watched as Jenkins drove several people from his home around Smithville. Now they say he was allowing them to smoke crack they bought from him. After stopping Jenkins to serve an arrest warrant for possession of tylenol with codiene and found cocaine in the truck.
"After the cocaine was found in his truck, the narcotics squad took a search warrant for his residence, and approximately 91 grams of cocaine, crack cocaine was found with packaging materials and all," Breeden said.
They also found $1,400 in cash.
Jenkins was awaiting trial for an intent to distribute charge from last April and he served three years in jail after being convicted of two counts of sale and intent to distribute in 1997. "We won't have to worry about him no more, I think he'll probably get life on this one," Breeden said. "That's what federal prosecutors plan to ask for and as for Smithville, Smithville should feel safer down there now."
With Jenkins behind bars and investigators watching closely for anyone who might try to replace him. In addition to the cocaine, investigators say Jenkins also distributed various prescription drugs.
The case will be turned over to the Drug Enforcement Agency who hope to make additional arrests. Feedback

More on slurring a 'blogger'
Steve Steffens at LeftWingCracker: Brown was upset about some things Ross had written about him, so he raised hell and tried to provoke a fight with Councilor Shea Flinn, who had supported Steve from the beginning. From the Daily News article, Brown said this to Flinn:
"I'm a real man," Brown told Flinn at the end of the exchange. "I'm a real black man. I hope you are a real white man."
Councilor Brown, are you THAT insecure about your manhood? Are you THAT thin-skinned about what Ross wrote? You kept referring to Steve as THAT BLOGGER, never even referring to him by name. Well, I'm a blogger and I'm a man, too, and what you did to Steve Ross was not exactly manly, pal.
From the Memphis Daily News: Ross encountered vocal resistance during committee sessions from council members upset with critical comments he has made on his blog about council members.
UPDATE: Smart City Memphis: When confronted with the rantings of Councilman Joe Brown, just say: Councilman, I simply refuse to go into mental combat with an unarmed man.
Lang Wiseman: Playing on Brown's own words -- is this guy for real? Democrats -- he's on your team. What say you?
With all do respect, this is not a partisan issue. It's an issue of a public official disrespecting someone active in his community. And it's an issue of disrespecting a forum where people voice their opinions. So it seems to me it's also an issue where people need to take off their red- or blue-tinted glasses. Government dissing citizen participation knows no party lines.
Agreed. However, there is also a partisan element to this to be sure. It's about accountability, policing one of your own, and sending the right message.
Remember that we live in a different world over here on this side of the state, and that the overtones of Brown's comments (and not to mention the historical significance to Memphians of the precise words he chose) are so divisive, and so race-baiting that it demands -- at least in my view -- to be addressed by those in his own Party.
We are at a unique time here. A potential crossroads and potential time of healing in this community. We just rid ourselves of one of the most divisive, race-on-his-sleeve Mayors in recent history (at least in his latter years), and the timing of Brown's comments could not be worse as we move into a new administration whose central campaign theme basically amounted to a pledge of unity and change -- "One Memphis."
Brown's words need to addressed and condemned by people of influence within his own Party who have credibility with his constituency -- not just because his words slandered bloggers and/or notions of dissent -- but because they strike at the heart of the hopefulness that people finally feel in moving forward.
Sorry for being so slow to respond. Mr. Mom duties last night and work this morning.
Your comments are as crisp and accurate as I remember your passes on the court were.
At the end of the day, though, it is not a political issue, it is a community issue.

The 'lock-in' next Friday is being organised by Open Doors, a charity that supports the persecuted church.
Participants include the Evangelical Alliance's Krish Kandiah, Jason Gardner of Fuse think tank, author and church leader Cris Rogers, and Open Doors UK and Ireland chief executive Eddie Lyle.
They will spend their time in the cell hearing testimonies from persecuted believers and reflecting on the plight of the suffering church.
Kandiah said: "Too often out of sight is out of mind for the persecuted church. The lock-in will be an opportunity to give time to this important challenge.
"I'm looking forward to understanding more about our brothers and sisters experiencing persecution for the gospel around the world."
The event is part of the Open Doors youth campaign Blackout, in which young people are 'blacking out' from the 21st century by not using their mobile phones, Facebook or TV.
Open Doors' youth spokesman Jonny Goodchild said: "Blackout is our way of bringing the persecuted church to today's generation, a social movement identifying with the censorship and restriction placed on the persecuted church."
