Coca-Cola seeks a new nirvana with cannabis drinks3 min read . Updated: 19 Sep 2018, 01:15 PM IST
For a company that equates itself with family values, Coca-Cola's foray into cannabis drinks would be a seminal shift
New Coke is here again and this time there's no turning back for the world's largest producer of carbonated beverages. Bloomberg reported on Monday (Coca-Cola is eyeing the cannabis market) that The Coca-Cola Co. could be looking at the, hold your breath, cannabis drinks business. Thirty-three years after the launch and withdrawal of the infamous New Coke, an entirely new class of drinks may be coming out of the stables of the 126-year-old company.
After years of disappointing sales and declining profits in the business that made it a household name, the giant from Atlanta is reinventing itself, desperately trying to shed its tag of a permanent placeholder at birthdays and family barbecues. The company, which once advertised itself as "The Great National Temperance Beverage" (1906) and "Pure as Sunlight" (1927), is turning all edgy in response to a new generation which has firmly turned its back on such evils as sugared sodas, though it may be okay with cannabis. According to US industry trade journal Beverage Digest, sales of carbonated soft drinks have declined for 12 consecutive years and sales last year were the lowest in 31 years. Consequently, the last few months have seen a flurry of moves by Coca-Cola aimed at a different set of consumers whose idea of a good time may not be drinking a Sprite or even a Coke Zero.
In May, forty years after its first foray into alcoholic drinks ended prematurely after the New York-based wine company it had bought to sell products under the Wine Spectrum brand was sold off, Coca-Cola launched an alcoholic drink, Lemon-Do , in the Japanese market. And two months ago, it announced that it would acquire UK-based Costa Coffee chain for $5.1 billion.
The Coca-Cola portfolio now includes bottled water, coconut water, tea and coffee, besides health drinks and juices. If, as has been reported, it does launch a drink infused with cannabidiol (CBD), the non-psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, it would make a definitive and seminal shift for a company that, for years, tried to equate itself with family values and positioned itself as a symbol of "all things good, decent and honest about America".
Thus, no Christmas was complete without Coke. Through the 1930s, it ran a series of Santa Claus advertisements featuring him as the big, jolly man in the red suit with a white beard holding up a bottle of coke. For all its travails in the market though, it remains a solid financial performer. In its latest quarter ended June 2018, it reported net income of $2.32 billion on revenues of $8.90 billion, despite a drop in organic sales in the US. Despite that, there's no denying its vulnerability with nearly 70% of its sales still coming from soda, an endangered product category.
Its principal rival PepsiCo, under former CEO Indra Nooyi, created a much more diversified portfolio of products comprising of carbonated and non-carbonated drinks, along with packaged food, which have been a better buffer against falling sales of sodas. The move to remake itself, even risk serious brand dissonance in the process, is thus both audacious and imperative.
Much like the tobacco companies, it needs to rapidly grow its non-cola businesses, even while it is heavily reliant on the same for its profits and cash. It is a delicate balancing act since it involves juggling a large existing customer base, which it knows like the back of its hand, with an amorphous new segment, whose characteristics are yet to emerge. It is a punt for the distant future, when there will be no longer any soda-drinking customers to fall back upon. It is then that the wisdom of the new generation of products that the company is experimenting with will be truly tested. Coca-Cola is still one of the most recognized brands in the world, a fact that gives it enormous leeway to explore new categories and launch new products. A CBD-based drink may just be what the doctor ordered. After all, one of the company's missions is to "inspire moments of optimism and happiness...", and cannabis is rumored to do just that!

Trick or Treat?
It's a good thing that I don't get paid to write this thing, huh? I mean, who disappears for nearly three months without a word. Well, other than the words I've written on Twitter or Facebook. Or BBM and texts and emails. But yeah, barely a word.
Well, if you are moving to a new continent (not new to me… but new to live for Lee and the midgets) and then doing the look for a job, a house and car thing, then you sprinkle a bit of stressing over when the hell your stuff from Point A is going to arrive in Point B … you might slack in other areas too.
Especially if when you arrive you start feeling ill.
For the first weeks we were here, all I basically said was: I'm freezing! Am I getting a cold? Is that an earache coming on? Fuckity Fuck Fuck.. we have no doctor.. I can't be sick!! Ugh, my stomach hurts. I need to sleep. My back. My ovary. I think I'm going to be sick!!
Then I peed on a stick. I mean there was no way right? I mean there is a way. But chances were super-duper-practically-totally impossible. Only, less than 2 minutes later I was met with THIS:
YES +?! + what?! Plus a new car? Plus more babies?! A simple YES would have been cool. Though, to be honest, a NO would have also been most excellent.
So I tried to do the math. Only one date fit and it still made no sense. But there wasn't any other possibility. Unless out of nowhere I've developed a crazy sleepwalking habit where I slang my wares to random strangers in my sleep. Only I think someone would have noticed. I HOPE someone would have noticed.
With our shaky history, we didn't want to say much. Plus we were just about to take on a huge mortgage and having started basically from scratch when we got here, the reality of adding an extra mouth to feed and diaper was and remains TERRIFYING. And that economic car that we bought with the astronomical insurance because I am 'new' … in the land where I got my license … it doesn't fit three car seats.
So we kept it pretty quiet. I didn't even get any medical personnel involved until last week, when I went to my first midwife appointment. There we discussed the fact that stomach was out of control and I couldn't believe how much it had grown for only 9 weeks. So I got sent to have a dating scan to make sure that there was only one and that nothing was going crazy up in there.
It's so not like in England. I had to go to a generic lab where they were doing x-rays and ultrasounds for a variety of things. They don't have the flat screens for you to watch and they don't tell you what they are doing as they click away on their keyboard right next to you. Luckily for me I got a chatty technician and after she was done the official stuff, she gave me a look at all the vital parts and I made a comment about that looking more baby like than I thought 10 weeks would be and she came back with …
That baby isn't 10 weeks. That baby is 14 weeks.
Say what?
I couldn't figure out the math or how on earth that was possible. I still can't get over how it is.. but it is.
And holy shit! I have a whole less month to prepare. This is crazy. I am crazy. I need time to spread out the crazy.
I sat up like a bolt of lightning. But I got drunk! Like stinking drunk! She said what was done was done and the baby looks fine and healthy. Guess it's a good thing I didn't decide to start shooting up as my last hurrah before leaving England.
So I walked out of the appointment yesterday on a cloud. A cloud made of crack. YAY no twins! But where'd I lose a month!? Why the hell am I still SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO nauseous?!!? Am I going to fit into the seats at the ACC on the 17th of December when my presence is required to cheer on my Canucks when they skate into town? And what kind of car fits three car seats, that isn't a minivan?! Does it exist?!
That last one was serious. Does it exist?!
So here, for all of the Internet to see is the tiny person we've been calling +1. Though Noah has put in a demand to change his/her name to Hamster.
Hamster Brotherston.
I know. That shot makes the baby look like a Mii. S/he has their Halloween costume already!
This one make me worry about the stomach to butt ratio.
That is one tiny bum! Perhaps this baby will finally inherit the long leg, normal thigh, non-J-Lo butt combo that has escaped the other two!
I guess we'll see in April!

servicemenu for amarok has an invalid menu entry "addAsPodcast"
|Assigned to
|dolphin (Ubuntu)
Bug Description
Binary package hint: dolphin
As soon as I select a file to preview or open its context menu, I get the following error message twice:
The desktop entry file
has an invalid menu entry
There is a similar service menu file in the amarok package, maybe that one can be used or copied.
Installed: 0.9.2-0ubuntu5
Open Dolphin, open a directory with XML files (example: /usr/share/
move mouse over XML file.
- If dolphin doesn't throw up a popup complaining about an invalid menu entry, it's fixed.
To fix this problem temporary, just copy the service menu:
sudo cp /usr/share/

When I right click on a html, htm, or xhtml file to open the menu so as to select the editing program to edit the file, I get an error message which reads:

The file mentioned reads:
[Desktop Entry]

Name[de]=Als Podcast zu amaroK hinzufügen
end quote
I did try using the System Settings to adjust the File Associations, but that has no effect.
I have no podcast equipment, have not activated any podcast software, and am unable to access and edit the file to remove this line as I'm using Kubuntu 8.04 and not being a Linux guru I don't know how to get the system to let me into root to change this via the command line.
I didn't have this problem with the Kubuntu 8.04 RC I upgraded to during the week, and now I have this problem - it didn't happen before the upgrade.
This problem doesn't crash the system but it is extremely annoying as it happens every time I right click a html or hml file, after giving the error sound, I can then go on with what I wish to do; but I'm about to start development of a major web site and could do without this bloody noise all the time.
Thank you

I just finished upgrading to Hardy, from Gutsy, and rcvd this same error. Previously in Gutsy, I had removed Amarok and the upgrade reinstalled it. Removing it again caused the error, so I had to reinstall it yet again and run the file copy above. After uninstalling Amarok again, it's still in /usr/share/
Does anyone know where what reference is looking for this file and can we resolve the issue somehow other than having an unnecessary file lying around?
|Doug Jones (djsdl) wrote :
I looked at the amarok_
Exec=amarok -a %u
I have no idea if this is actually the correct line to use, as the amarok docs I found were not very instructive on this issue. (I'm sure it helps that I know little about amarok.)
But, adding this line to the file eliminated the bad behavior.
In any case, it would be a mistake to consider this merely a bug in a .desktop file. The biggest bug is in dolphin itself. An app shouldn't start behaving like a popup-mad web browser from the bad old days just because a config file is wrong. If it finds a bad .desktop file, it should skip it (and maybe log the error somewhere).
I tried dragging a selection box around a list of files in a dolphin window and it went crazy with endless identical dialog boxes that I just couldn't close fast enough. And the pane to the right with context-sensitive options started replicating itself down the window. I couldn't close dolphin, and eventually had to restart the xserver.
So this appears to be two bugs: One in dolphin itself, and one in the file amarok_

It's not been fixed in Intrepid because according to Riddell we don't need it for Intrepid since it'll switch to KDE4. I assume since Kubuntu Intrepid will be KDE4 by default, there's no point keeping KDE3 and KDE4 versions of Dolphin around, so the KDE3 version (this package) will be dropped.

I hadn't noticed on my machine because Dolphin does not, shall we say, meet my needs - but if it is to be the default file manager intended for non-technical users on a flagship distro, it should work without such silly errors.

I've been using Ubuntu since the 4.10 betas, and I was thrilled about being able to promote a distro that "just works" (one of Ubuntu's stated goals). But the quality has only declined since then. Fixing stuff like this in 'main' needs to be priority one if Canonical is true to its vision.

Criteria for Prostate Cancer Trials Disproportionately Exclude Blacks
MONDAY, Feb. 12, 2018 -- Almost half of clinical trials for prostate cancer use criteria that disproportionately exclude black men, according to a research letter published online Feb. 8 in JAMA Oncology.
Noting that clinical trial eligibility criteria may disproportionately prevent black patients from participating due to racial variations in laboratory values, Marie E. Vastola, from the Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women's Health Cancer Center and Harvard Medical School in Boston, and colleagues examined clinical trials in prostate cancer. Trial characteristics were compared for 401 interventional prostate cancer clinical trials with an end point of overall survival.
The researchers found that 47.9 percent of these trial used serum creatinine (sCr) alone instead of race-adjusted measurements for renal function and/or required participants to have an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) of 1.5 × 109 cells/L or higher, which excludes men with benign ethnic neutropenia. Trials sponsored by academic investigators or cooperative groups versus industry more often used sCr alone and/or an ANC cut-off level of 1.5 × 109 cells/L or higher. These trials were also more often phase 1 or 2 versus phase 3, had lower accrual, or had at least one treatment arm that was considered high toxicity.
"While adopting race-based differences in trial criteria may add slight logistical challenges when ensuring that patients meet trial eligibility, these adjustments would prevent healthy individuals from being excluded solely because of benign laboratory differences caused by their race," the authors write.
Several authors disclosed financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry.

Charles City, Iowa – The Occupational Therapy Department at the Floyd County Medical Center is starting a new program that focuses on incontinence. Kim Sterken says that the program is a non-invasive technique.
This isn't a procedure where you would need something done to the inside of your body.
Sterken says there are many different kinds of women that could have this program done.
Sterken says that incontinence is a very treatable issue and that if you are interested, you must have your physician's referral. For more information call the Floyd County Medical Center at (641) 228-6830.

In week 5, the South Florida Bulls head to Camp Randall Stadium and Madison, Wisconsin to face the 19th ranked Wisconsin Badgers Saturday. The Bulls are 2-2 SU and ATS. The Badgers are 2-1 SU and 1-2 ATS.
The South Florida Bulls are coming off a win of 17-14 against Connecticut last week. Quarterback Mike White who has 388 passing yards and 2 touchdowns leads the team this season. Marlon Mack leads the rushing game with 502 yards, 5 touchdowns and a 5.6 yards per carry average. Rodney Adams leads the wide receivers was 184 yards and 1 touchdown.
The Bulls defense allows 29.5 points per game and 376 yards per game.
Wisconsin is coming off a huge win of 68-17 against Bowling Green last week. Quarterback Tanner McEvoy who has 445 passing yards and 4 touchdowns leads the offense this season. Melvin Gordon leads the rushing game with 431 yards, 6 touchdowns and a 9.4 yards per carry average. Alex Erickson leads the wide receivers with 165 yards and 1 touchdown.
The Wisconsin Badgers defense has been outstanding so far this season only allowing 16 points per game and 266 yards per game.
Keys to South Florida win
South Florida has to shut down the running game of Melvin Gordon. In addition, the Bulls will need Tanner McEvoy to play a good game and spread the ball around.
Keys to Wisconsin win
Wisconsin will need to shut down Marlon Mack's run game and with the top rated defense of Wisconsin it will be doable. However, they will need to shut the passing game down as well.
South Florida – Andre Davis, Jalen Spencer, Nick Holman
Wisconsin – Derek Straus, Caleb Kinlaw, Taiwan Deal, Derek Watt, Warren Herring, Joel Stave, Vonte Jackson
Wisconsin -32
This will be an easy game for Wisconsin. However, they will still need to play a good game and not look ahead to the next game.

underlying demand
The need for housing based on the number of households in the population.
Also see effective demand
unemployment traps
The situation whereby a policy encourages a person (receiving a government benefit) to remain unemployed. Whilst some of this effect is due to the interaction of the income support and tax systems generally, there is an additional issue for public housing tenants. Payment of rents based on a percentage of household income means that one dollar of every four earned goes on extra rent up to the ceiling of market rents, unless states/territories have schemes to mitigate rent rises, at least temporarily, for people moving into work.

Dow Europe Adds New Polymers
- Published: September 06, 2012
HORGEN, SWITZERLAND | Dow Elastomers, a business unit of the Dow Chemical Co., will debut two new polymers into the existing family of AFFINITY GA Polyolefin Elastomers for hot melt adhesives at the World Adhesive & Sealant Conference, September 18–21, 2012, in Paris, France.
AFFINITY GA 1000R is an MAH-grafted polymer said to offer excellent bond strength for hard-to-bond substrates such as coated papers and boards or recycled paper. Also said to offer improved heat stress, achieving between 5 deg C (41 deg F) to 10 deg C (50 deg F) more temperature resistance. This helps ensure the contents of a package stay sealed through the stages of logistics, particularly warehouse storage and transportation, where temperatures can vary.
AFFINITY GA 1875 offers a lower viscosity choice for enhanced formulation flexibility as well as excellent bond strength in low-application temperature hot melt adhesives when used alone or in combination with other AFFINITY GA polymers.

A Peek at Peak PerformancePosted by Mike Antonucci Filed Under: Health & Fitness
Read the entire account of Mike's experience: part one, part two, part three, and part four.
Because of my amazing celebrity connections, I got an opportunity this week to try out the peak performance package at the Canyon Ranch health resort in Tucson, Arizona.
I will be spending four days being tested, poked, prodded, analyzed and examined like an alien abductee while expert exercise physiologists, sports physicians and nutritionists try to figure out why I'm so damned slow. Oh, and a behavioral specialist will determine if it's because I am a generally warped human being.
I'm not the first person to go through this program. Kathryn Bertine tried it out for ESPN.com last year. This is especially daunting for me, because not only is Kathryn a former ice skater and professional triathlete, but she's a helluva lot better writer than I am.
But while many elite athletes have completed this kind of program and gone on to do great things in the wide world of sports, I will be the first middle-aged, middle-of-the-pack distance runner to undergo the trials and tribulations of body scans and a VO2 max test in order to discover that I'm a middle-aged, middle-of-the-pack distance runner.
In the weeks to come, I'll provide all the gory details, so stay tuned to this space at the Complete Running Network to find out what happens when an average Joe gets the elite athlete treatment… if I live.
About Mike Antonucci
I ran 6-minute miles when I was in the military, then tapered for 20 years. Two-time marathoner (3:43 PR), my next goal is to stay healthy enough to run another. There are literally thousands of people handing out running advice and serious tips. I prefer to focus on the humorous or odd facets of our shared obsession. Let's face it, running is funny.

Editor in Chief Giulia De Martin, behindmyglasses.com
Forget all the beautiful models, half naked, most of the times, who have always featured on the most famous calendar- I am talking about the Pirelli one – and embrace the new more feminine and feminist mood.
This year, Yoko Ono, Patti Smith, Serena Williams, Fran Lebowitz, Amy Schumer, Tavi Gevinson, Ava DuVernay, Natalia Vodianova, Agnes Gund, Kathleen Kennedy, Mellody Hobson, Shirin Neshat and Yao Chen, to mention them all, have been portrayed by the magnificent Annie Leibovitz to show the maximum highness of iconic women in 2016. Iconic, yes, because of their spirit, strength and ideas and, most of all, because of the impact they have on this world, their way to make it a better place.
These women should be an inspiration for young girls who are approaching to what does it mean to be a meaningful piece on the huge puzzle that this planet is made of.
The Pirelli calendar is a proper revolution to collect and store as a combination of art, genius and beautiful minds.
A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.
Yoko Ono
Every day, you know, you learn something new about someone. I think that's what life is about, it's about learning something new every day. A partner for me that will be lifetime. She's just a great individual and incredibly powerful woman.
Serena Williams
I started to think about the roles that women play, women who have achieved something. I wanted to make a classic set of portraits. I thought that the women should look strong but natural and I decided to keep it a very simple exercise of shooting in the studio. This calendar is so completely different. It is a departure. The idea was not to have any pretense in these pictures and be very straightforward.

This week it's back to summer, alas, but last Wednesday it was so cool I had my best sleep in months, and I could see my breath as I walked to the park and ride in the morning!
The nights are definitely getting longer, which is also quite nice for sleeping--I can leave some light blocks up to help with airflow through the windows.
Last Thursday at the Farmers' Market they didn't have the banana bread I was planning to get...so instead I've been enjoying some blueberry lemon bread! What a great combination!
Saturday was a treat. I got out to the Minnesota State Fair, and it started cool (50s) and stayed cloudy the entire morning! Had fun with shopping and browsing through the crafts and art displays, and of course the food! Tried out falafel-on-a-stick and it wasn't bad at all, but my favorites remain the Hawaiian stir-fry and the deep-fried cheese curds. Also enjoyed a bag of mini-donuts and some local apple cider. In the Agriculture/Horticulture building there were displays of gladiolus, and I was entranced by a cultivar with flowers like black velvet, just stunning! I'm quite looking forward to going back next weekend, weather permitting.
Very happy to finally get unstuck with the last Triune prep-story, Renegade, and make some progress on it Friday and Sunday evening. Getting closer!

Tullahoma Campaign
Civil War Encyclopedia >> Campaigns
Tullahoma Campaign
Named for the city of Tullahoma, Tennessee, south of the Duck River which was the site of Bragg's headquarters following the Battle of Stone's River. At the start of the campaign Ulysses S. Grant had John Pemberton under siege in Vicksburg and Robert E. Lee was advancing into Pennsylvania. The strategic objective of the Tullahoma Campaign, Chattanooga, ranked second of three on Lincoln's list of important Confederate targets - the other two were Richmond, Virginia, and the Mississippi River.
No one waited more apprehensively for the start of the Tullahoma Campaign than Abraham Lincoln, Edwin Stanton, and Henry Halleck. Between May 1, and June 22, 1863, more than 100 communications between these three men and General William S. Rosecrans are recorded in the Official Records. These communications move from pleas to hostile threats to force Rosecrans to advance.
Rosecrans was convinced the Army of the Cumberland was not ready to advance on May 1, 1863, although it was not substantially different than the army that began its advance on June 23. That day, almost 6 months after Stone's River, Rosecrans ordered a movement on Bridgeport, Alabama and the railhead at Stevenson with three corps under Alexander McCook, Thomas Crittenden and George Thomas totaling 65,000 men.
Opposing the Army of the Cumberland was a worn and ragged Army of Tennessee under Braxton Bragg divided into two corps under William Hardee and Leonidas Polk totaling some 46,000 men and boys (this figure is commonly accepted, but it was probably closer to 43,000). Positioned along the Duck River from McMinnville to Columbia, the main body of Bragg's force was centered between Wartrace and Shelbyville. Tullahoma, Bragg's choice for his headquarters had no paved streets and could not be easily defended.
From his headquarters in Tullahoma, Bragg was already having problems with his corps commanders. Since Perryville and Stone's River his senior staff had not only been complaining to each other about Bragg's inability or unwillingness to fight a war, they had been quarreling with their commanding officer. William Hardee, especially, had become uncommunicative, a fact which would cost the Confederacy East Tennessee. Meanwhile, P. G. T. Beauregard was advocating reinforcing Bragg's Army of Tennessee with Joe Johnston's men and some from the Army of Northern Virginia, then letting Bragg advance on Nashville and perhaps Louisville, cutting Grant's force off from the important rail line to the North and destroying his ability for instant communication to Washington.
Jutting west from the Cumberland Plateau, a range of mountains known as the Highland Rim limits access from the Duck River Valley to Tullahoma. Four gaps, Liberty, Hoover, Guy and Bellbuckle, were used for roads or railroads and offered Rosecrans the best opportunity to attack the Confederate forces. West of Columbia a wide valley offered Rosecrans an easy route, but would have put him well west of Bragg. Coming through Hoover Gap to Manchester seemed the only logical line of attack once a direct frontal assault had been ruled out. Hoover Gap did present problems, though. From the Duck River to the gap the road runs in a deep valley known as Matt's Hollow, posing a logistical nightmare for the troops.
Bragg thought Rosecrans would move due south and try to outflank the Army of Tennessee to the left. Instead, Rosecrans chose to advance on the Manchester Road through Hoover Gap. Bragg's plan called for Hardee to react quickly and decisively to keep Rosecrans in the gap while Polk came in behind and trapped the Army of the Cumberland. Bragg's main concern was whether Hardee could make a stand until Polk sealed off the rear.
Colonel John Wilder and his Lightning Brigade had been charged with taking Hoover Gap. To screen the advance of the Army of the Cumberland, Rosecrans ordered Reserve Corps commander Gordon Granger and Cavalry commander Brigadier General David Stanley to make a feint against Polk's Corps north of Shelbyville. Wilder then seized the gap on June 24, 1863, but when he reached the far end of the gap he ran into A. P. Stewart's men and had to wait almost two days for George Thomas to advance in support. For these two days Bragg heard nothing about the attack from Hardee.
During that time fighting raged in or near the gap but finally Rebel forces withdrew and informed General Bragg before they concentrated in prepared earthworks around Tullahoma. Rain began to have a negative affect on Rosecrans' campaign. After Thomas and McCook pushed through the gap Crittenden should have been there, but the soggy roads slowed him to a crawl, taking him 4 days to advance less than 20 miles. In the meantime, Rosecrans ordered a cavalry strike (by the Lightning Brigade) against the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad south of Tullahoma near Decherd on July 28.
As Thomas and McCook took up a position in front of the entrenchments circling Tullahoma, Crittenden should have been preparing to attack Bragg's rear. Instead, he was just coming out of Hoover Gap. Wilder's raid had tipped Bragg off to his exposed rear and Bragg obeyed an order issued by President Jefferson Davis six months earlier, withdrawing to Chattanooga, 60 miles southeast.
Inside Tullahoma Rosecrans paused to regroup, much to the chagrin of Lincoln, Stanton, and Halleck. A barrage of telegrams got Rosecrans to advance, this time to the outskirts of Chattanooga (Bridgeport and Stevenson, Alabama), where his forces stopped for two months. This marked the end of the Tullahoma Campaign.

Sudbury (North Parkland Buildings),
Sudbury, Derbyshire
Grade II* Listed Building (NHLE: 1238617); Grade II Registered Garden (NHLE: 1000684); Sudbury Conservation Area
Conservation Management Plan
OASIS: thejesso1-177061
A Conservation Management Plan (CMP) was prepared on behalf of the National Trust for the three parkland buildings to the north of Sudbury Hall, located in south Derbyshire. The Deer Cote is a Grade II* listed building and it falls within the Sudbury Village Conservation Area and the Registered Grade II Historic Landscape surrounding Sudbury Hall.
The present hall at Sudbury was built between c.1659 and 1670 by Edward Vernon, at the edge of the village of Sudbury. To the north of the hall was a largely rural landscape, with a deer park that was surrounded by a timber pale in 1614 to the northeast. Following the construction of the new Hall, the deer park was enlarged, possibly associated with the construction of a large ornamental deer enclosure (the Deer Cote) with a central feeding area and shed. This structure was surrounded by trees, and had projecting brick corner towers topped with ogee domes.
In the 1750s the north parkland was radically altered, becoming more integrated with the wider setting of the house. This included the creation of a series of linear ponds (the Long Ponds), connected with weirs, dams and a bridge (The Three Arched Bridge), and the ornamentation for the Deer Cote by the addition of a sham gatetower that represented a permanent piece of theatrical scenery. These alterations are attributed to the landscape designer Sanderson Miller. The landscape was then managed as open parkland throughout the 19thC, until the 1940s when a military hospital as built to the northeast of the hall, although it was converted to a Prisoner of War Camp and then became of HMP Sudbury. The A50 dual carriageway was completed by 1998, effectively separating the north park from the hall.
Each of the built structures within the north parkland have considerable historic significance, however, when considered as a group within an 18th C designed 'lost' landscape their significance can be regarded as being Exceptional and of National importance. The linear ponds and the Three Arched Bridge form a distinct setting for the Deer Cote, which when viewed from the house would have created a dramatic and inviting area of the wider setting to Sudbury Hall. The survival of all of the structural elements of the water system created by Sanderson Miller was only partially understood prior to this study.
The size and design of the Deer Cote compound is almost unparalleled, and it subsequent adaptation into a sham castle attributed to the gentleman architect Sanderson Miller, makes it a particularly rare and important example of his work in the North Midlands. The form of the Three Arched Bridge is a good example of a mid-18th C structure, however, its decoration with recycled pottery kiln waste makes it of Considerable significance as the use of this material is unique. Contemporary buildings making use of glass and metal working waste have previously been recorded, but at Sudbury the incorporation of fragments from kiln saggers, form an archaeological assemblage that is of regional importance.
Scope of work: archive research, landscape survey, building survey, photography, photogrammetry, schedule of works for repair (Nick Cox Architects)

This complex now offers a 60 month payment plan with just 25% deposit!
Forming part of the elite West Istanbul Marina project, this humongous project has been tagged Istanbul's seaside town. Essentially creating a new town from scratch, the complex is spread over a huge 1.5 million square metres and built in five phases. Providing 300,000 sqm of Residential homes, the developer has thought of everything – Mall, Hospital, School, Mosque, large sports club, the list is almost endless.
With the formation of the Marina, the region demanded property of the highest quality to match – the developer went further and created a town instead. Residents can create a utopic lifestyle, with home, work, and relaxation, all possible within the complex.
Apartments enjoy full sea views from a distance of just a few hundred metres. The views are sumptious to say the least, with the complex on a slight gradient, meaning all south facing apartments enjoy unobstructed sea views.
The recently opened West Istanbul Marina, with a 550 Yacht capacity is within walking distance. A mall and private hospital are currently under construction, in what is already a very popular residential neighbourhood. This quiet suburb of Istanbul is transforming in to a major landmark for the region, and a point for visitors from all around

Yakuplu, as this region of Beylikduzu is known, was a sleepy small town with not much going on. Today, it is in the midst of a rapid transformation. The construction of the West Istanbul Marina transformed the region, and has attracted immense private investment. Planning in the area is restricted to 4 stories, with the vast majority sticking to two stories. Several major projects have cropped up around the Marina.
Included in this is a major private hospital and major mall. Alongside this will come offices, ensuring this region will become a real landmark by 2020. The region is zero to the Marmara sea ensuring the vast majority of homes here enjoy beautiful sea views.
Prices in Yakuplu spiked after the construction of the Marina, and will spike again upon completion of the Mall and hospital. Approximately 2 million square meters of land has been opened to construction, but all for low rise only. This ensures a healthy supply to demand ratio, maintaining prices in the region.
Prices are expected to rise further, once the Canal Istanbul project is confirmed, and more so once a long awaited metro to central Istanbul is completed.
One of Turkey's oldest developers and considered a true construction giant, this developer is as safe as it gets. Operational since 1979, it responsible for building major malls, highways, and Istanbul's largest seaside town in the West Istanbul Marina. Ensuring a risk free operation, the developer always provides two bank guarantees on its project, proving their confidence in their ability to deliver on promises.

Tax authorities are becoming more and more aware of the importance of cross-border activities and transfer pricing. By making creative use of differences in international taxation, companies tend to allocate costs to high tax countries and revenues to low tax jurisdictions.
However, the OECD guidelines on transfer pricing require that inter-company transactions should be carried out at arm's length.
Transfer prices
Whenever your company engages into cross-border services or deals with associated companies abroad, the question arises whether the transfer prices that you apply will be at arm's length and whether the applicable documentation requirements are met. In this area we have a lot of expertise in assisting you, inter alia, with the review, documentation, management and protection of your transfer pricing policies and processes.
We can advise you on how to set up an optimal international holding, royalty or finance structure, import / export structures, transfer of IP and many other situations where cross-border transactions and services are involved.
We have extensive knowledge and experience of transfer pricing legislation and corresponding documentation requirements. Over the years we have developed a strong network of transfer pricing professionals who can assist you abroad.
Proper anticipation on national transfer pricing legislation brings security and peace of mind when it concerns your international business structure. If so desired we can liaise with local tax authorities and tax professionals to arrive at proper transfer prices for your transactions.
We can assist you in identifying a proper transfer pricing methodology for your specific type of business ensuring that compliance requirements are satisfied and minimising the risk of transactional or net adjustments. We will inform you on how to utilise differences in tax regimes between jurisdictions.
This is of importance as tax authorities worldwide are now increasingly scrutinising cross-border transactions, imposing more penalties, demanding additional documentation, engaging into increased exchange of information, tax audits, etc. We know how to steer clear of these.

What to Expect From a Reiki Session
What is Reiki?
Reiki, pronounced ray key, is an ancient healing energy modality that originates from Japan. Reiki means universal life energy. Since everything is energy, reiki works on all levels: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. It is a healing system that assists the body in its own highest level of healing. It is completely natural and complements other types of treatment. Reiki can never harm - it heals, aligns, clears, balances, energizes, illuminates, transforms, uplifts, replenishes, and more.
What Is A Reiki Session Like?
A typical reiki session is an hour long treatment in which a reiki practitioner sends energy to a recipient. A reiki practitioner is someone who has been attuned by a reiki master. An attunement is the process of opening a channel for the energy to flow from practitioner to recipient.
During the healing session the recipient, wearing loose, comfortable clothing, lies on a massage table. The recipient can begin by lying on their stomach or back. The session can be either hands on or hands off. The reiki practitioner will place her hands on or above the recipient in various positions while the energy flows to the recipient. In general, each hand position is held for an average of one to three minutes.
The reiki practitioner is simply a channel or conduit for the energy. She doesn't direct or control the energy; she just allows it to flow. Energy is like water. It will naturally flow and be absorbed where it's needed. Imagine what happens when a river flows where a stream once trickled. Lots of sediment will be picked up with the river. In a similar way, the big energy of reiki can also clear blockages and release stuck energy.
Although reiki can be given in almost any circumstances, it works best when the recipient is comfortable, relaxed and open to receive. In this way, the giver and the receiver play an equal role in the exchange.
How Does Reiki Feel?
Reiki is an energy that's gentle and non-invasive. Everyone has a different level of energy sensitivity and each person experiences it in their own way. Our energy changes a bit from day to day and the way the energy feels can vary also.
At a minimum, most everyone feels relaxed after receiving reiki. Other common experiences are:
- Feeling heat or sometimes coolness
- Tingling sensations
- A calming and quieting of the mind
- Feeling peaceful, happy, balanced, and loving/loved
- Sensations of lightness, heaviness, or expansion
- Seeing colors or pleasing images
- Deeper spiritual connection
It's fairly common to get so relaxed while receiving reiki that you fall asleep. Don't worry, reiki works the same whether you're awake or asleep. Reiki is great for insomniacs. People usually sleep soundly the night of receiving reiki. After a reiki session, you can feel refreshed, recharged and happy to be alive.

I am amongst those who crave easy home made meals and at the same time, love quick fix meals. On days we want something simple to call dinner, this is one the recipes that comes to mind. This also, doubles as a an excellent snack and very, very handy when you have guests coming in a bit.
If you are preparing this dish ahead of time, you could soak a cup of chickpeas in water for about five hours, and then boil in some water till soft.
Or, if you are like me, then just go ahead and use a tin of chickpeas that you have to only rinse out.
Start by soaking a handful of tamarind in hot water.
Blend chopped onions, cumin, chillies, and garlic with some water into a fine paste. Fry this paste in oil till aromatic and the paste appears cooked. To this add your spices and cook further.
To this add your rinsed chickpeas and strain the tamarind water into the pot.
That's all and your done. Garnish with coriander and serve.
Ingredients –
- 1 Tin – Chickpeas, rinsed well
- 2 Onions
- 1 Tbls – Cumin seeds
- 2-3 cloves – Garlic
- 2 – Chillies (feel free to skip chillies or add more)
- 2 Tbls – Red chilli powder
- 1 tsp – Cumin/coriander powder
- 2 Tbls – Tamarind pieces – Soaked in warm water for about 15 minutes (and then strain/sieve this to take out the water
- 2 Tbls – Oil
- A small piece Jaggery (optional)
- Salt to taste
Method –
- Start by soaking the tamarind in water. Blend the onions, cumin, garlic and chillies with some water to a paste-like consistency.
- Heat oil in a pot and add the onion paste and fry till fragrant till it appears done. The oil should leave from the sides. To this add the red chili powder and cumin/coriander powder. Cook for another 2 minutes.

ST. JOHN'S, N.L. – The daughter of a Newfoundland man shot by a police officer spoke through tears Monday as she described her late father as a funny, vocal man with a big heart who lovingly raised her alone.
"He was a really good father," said Meghan Dunphy of her father Don, wiping her eyes and pausing to collect herself. "I didn't want for anything."
The 28-year-old Eastern Health worker was the first witness at a public inquiry into why Don Dunphy was fatally shot by a Royal Newfoundland Constabulary officer on Easter Sunday of 2015.
Const. Joe Smyth served as a member of then-premier Paul Davis's security detail.
Smyth has said Dunphy aimed a loaded .22-calibre rifle at him before he fired four shots, three of them fatal, at Dunphy's home in Mitchell's Brook, 80 kilometres southwest of St. John's.
Smyth had gone alone to the small house to check out Twitter comments flagged as potential threats against politicians.
Smyth sat listening in the public gallery as Meghan Dunphy described how her father raised her alone from the age of three after her mother died of diabetic complications.
Her father was in chronic pain since being crushed by heavy machinery on a construction site in 1984.
Meghan Dunphy told the inquiry that her father did not have mental health issues. She said he had struggled for years with the workers' compensation system and his house was rundown because he lived in poverty.
"It was through no fault of his own, really," she said.
As she spoke, the rifle later found loaded beside her father's body sat on an exhibit stand next to her.
Meghan Dunphy said she had seen a rifle like it behind her father's couch, but could not say for sure it's the same one.
She could not recall speaking in any detail about why he had it.
"I wouldn't know if it was loaded. I don't know anything about guns."
She also said she never saw ammunition in the house before her father died.
There was also a wooden stick about a metre long with duct tape on the end of it. Meghan Dunphy said her father kept it in case someone broke into the house.
The inquiry led by commissioner Leo Barry, a judge on the provincial Court of Appeal, is expected to hear from more than 50 witnesses until early March.
Barry is to deliver a report by July 1 on what happened and how to prevent such confrontations in the future.
He will not make findings of criminal or civil responsibility, but any new evidence could be investigated by police.

How Teachers Can Opt Out of Oakland Education Association Dues
The Oakland Education Association (OEA) is the designated union for certified school employees like teachers, counselors, psychologists, librarians, interns, and speech and language pathologists in the Oakland Unified School District. OEA is also the designated union for substitute teachers, contracted adult education teachers and early childhood educators.
For years, public employees in California have been forced to pay union dues as a condition of employment, allowing unions to take their members for granted. However, the U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled that public employees can no longer be required to financially support a labor union against their will. Janus v. AFSCME, 585 US (2018)
The decision found,
"The First Amendment is violated when money is taken from nonconsenting employees for a public-sector union; employees must choose to support the union before anything is taken from them. Accordingly, neither an agency fee nor any other form of payment to a public-sector union may be deducted from an employee, nor may any other attempt be made to collect such a payment, unless the employee affirmatively consents to pay."
Consequently, public employees may decline to pay these private organizations without losing their jobs or employer-provided benefits.
To stop the union from deducting dues from your pay:
- Enter your information into the form below and click "submit."
- On the resulting page, click the link to open your customized form. You will also receive an email with a link to your form.
- Print two copies of the form. If you check the appropriate box about needing a printed version, we'll mail you a copy of the form.
- Sign and date the forms.
- Mail one of the signed forms to the Oakland Education Association at the address at the top of the form. We highly recommend sending it via certified mail.
Frequently Asked Questions
You should receive an acknowledgement of your request from the union within a few weeks.
Because it has a financial interest in continuing to withhold dues from your pay, the union may contact you and attempt to persuade you to keep your membership. Their sales pitch may include untrue claims and scare tactics. It is a good idea to try to document any questionable claims made by union representatives. Do not be bullied! If you stand your ground, there is nothing the union can do to retaliate against you for opting out.
Monitor your paychecks to make sure the dues deductions stop. Contact the union if the deductions continue more than a paycheck or two after you submit your resignation request.
Contact us for assistance if for some reason the union refuses to process your dues cancellation request.
Yes. CTA has been empowered by the state to represent those in your workplace. Employees are not allowed to negotiate their own compensation or handle their own grievances with their employer, nor can they hire another person or entity to represent them.
In exchange for this unusual benefit, CTA is legally obligated to represent all employees in the workplace, including those who choose not to join the union as members.
Consequently, the collective bargaining agreement negotiated by the union and your employer will continue to set the terms and conditions of your employment and the union will continue to represent you in grievances, contract enforcement, discipline assistance or other proceedings governed by the collective bargaining agreement.
It is not the union's responsibility to shield district employees from legal liability from the external claims. That is the responsibility of your employer. Contact the district business office if you want to learn how your primary liability protection is provided.
The NEA pays roughly $5 for a liability policy for its members that supplements the protection already provided by your employer. This policy is for claims the union may choose to submit rather than an individual-held policy. Nonmembers are not covered by the NEA liability policy.
If you would like personal professional liability protection without conflicts of interest with the union or your employer, you can obtain a policy from independent professional education associations like the Association of American Educators or Christian Educators Association International, or you could obtain a policy from a traditional insurance provider.
People have many reasons for not wanting to support the OEA/CTA/NEA. Some simply do not believe the services the union provides are worth the dues it charges. Others may find the union's one-size-fits-all agenda does not serve them well because they are new to the profession, have a specialty that is not acknowledged in bargaining, or they believe their effectiveness is undercompensated. Some resent the union's role in enabling and defending underperforming employees. Many find the union's political activity and use of dues to advance partisan causes, candidates and ideology distasteful. Still others believe that union officials are corrupt and unaccountable to their membership.
Unions representing public employees are not governed by normal consumer protection or anti-trust laws, so abuses are common. Unions can charge whatever they wish. They can spend dues money on anything they want. Often, they do not have to disclose how dues money is spent to members. They can speak for employees without consulting or informing them. They can injure some members' interests while advancing the interests of others. Unions even have the ability to prevent employees from getting help in their workplace from other sources. They are not governed by any obligation to provide quality service, and almost never have to seek approval of the people they represent in an election to continue as the exclusive representative.
Often people have a faith-based objection to unions' expenditures on controversial causes and attacks on values. Additionally, the core union philosophy of conflict, oath-breaking, disrespect and greed also can be contrary to many religious beliefs. More information about the major public unions' expenditures in light of common faith beliefs is available here.
Public employee unions are private organizations with minimal obligations to disclose financial information to members. The lack of accountability makes it easy for unions to take advantage of the easy income.
However, the IRS requires unions' 990 tax returns to be publicly available, and these can be found online at sites like Guidestar.org.
OEA reports using the Employer Identification Number (EIN) 94-1330958. OEA's form 990 filed in 2016 shows it collected over a half million dollars in one year.
CTA reports to the IRS using the Employer Identification Number (EIN) 94-0362310.
CTA's form 990 for 2016 shows it collected $178.4 million in dues and fees from public employees that year. CTA's highest-paid employee, associate executive director Emma Leheny, was paid $480,529. Former CTA executive director Carolyn Dogget was paid $370,610 in 2016, even though she performed no work on behalf of the union. At least 11 other CTA executives are paid hefty six-figure salaries. The union even loaned CTA president Eric Heins nearly $50,000 to finance a new car.
A portion of the funds CTA collects are forwarded to the National Education Association (NEA) in Washington, D.C.
Reports NEA must file annually with the U.S. Department of Labor indicate it collected $373.6 million in the 2017-18 school year and had a paid staff of around 700.
- $26.7 million was spent by NEA on divisive political candidates, causes and lobbying.
- $108 million was paid or contributed to ideological organizations and political advocacy groups.
- The highest-paid NEA international employee, president Lily Eskelsen-Garcia, was paid $414,824 in 2018.
- Nearly 400 NEA employees were paid six-figures in 2018.

Tai Chi and basketball might seem like two totally different sports.
Basketball involves fast and energetic movements, while Tai Chi has a slow but steady motion. So it's hard to imagine these sports getting combined.
However, Jiang Shan, a big basketball fan in Beijing, has managed to introduce Tai Chi into a basketball performance. The final effect is as cool as a Kung Fu movie.
Jiang started to learn freestyle basketball playing in 2002. Seven years later, he and other five fans set up a freestyle basketball league called "Move with your heart."
Prior to winning the national basketball performance contest, they could only practice in the cheapest underground hall. It was here that "Tai Chi basketball" was born in such tough conditions.
Jiang Shan said:
I hope there are more good culture collisions between China and the US.
Jiang's team has performed Tai Chi basketball all over the world. Jiang also teaches basketball classes to children in Beijing. He has a lot of fun playing basketball, and he wanted the school kids to get to enjoy it too.

The American Peace Commissioners to Vergennes, 10 July 1783
The American Peace Commissioners to Vergennes
AL:7 Archives du Ministère des affaires étrangères
Paris, July 10. 1783—
Messieurs Adams, Franklin & Jay, Ministers of the United States for treating of Peace, present their Respects to Mr le Comte de Vergennes, & request he would be pleased to favour them with a Copy of the Offer made by the two Imperial Courts of their Mediation.8
Notations: juillet 10 / rep. le 31 Juillet 1783.
7. Written by BF.
8. At Versailles on Tuesday, July 8, Vergennes asked BF and JA whether they had made the visits to the Russian and Austrian ministers that he had suggested to them the week before (for which see the Commissioners to Bariatinskii, [July 2]). Upon learning that the visits had been made and returned, he asked the commissioners to consider again whether they wanted those ministers to be involved in the Anglo-American treaty. If so, they should write a letter of invitation. JA allowed that he "did not know what a mediation meant." Vergennes responded with an enigmatic smile. The commissioners promised to consider the matter, though they remained uncertain as to how to make the decision: Adams Papers, XV, 92. Judging from the present letter, they reasoned that the first step would be to review the terms to which France had agreed. Vergennes did not answer this request until July 31, long after the commissioners had decided in the affirmative; see their draft letter to Bariatinskii and Markov, [before July 15].
