Hundreds of government service centres will be assessed for their quality, beginning today, to determine which are excelling and which are underperforming.
In a tweet, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, said a total of 600 government service centres will be evaluated.
He said that on September 14, the five best and worst will be revealed, adding: "My message to officials: We will not accept anything short of the first position globally in our services and facilities."
The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation said the centres in the UAE had failed to raise the standard of customer service and showed low quality of work, high number of complaints and lengthy waiting periods.
The crackdown began after an investigation into slow service at an Emirates Post branch was launched by Sheikh Mohammed. He had been sent a photo of a long queue consisting of at least 30 people at an Emirates Post branch.

The Football Association of Ireland (FAI) is considering cutting ties with bookmakers. This has renewed calls for sports associations in the UK to do the same, with fears that gambling logos have taken over football shirts and are causing a rise in problem gambling.
So, we wanted to ask you: Should bookmakers in the UK be allowed to sponsor sports teams and events?
- Yes
- No
- Not sure
Let us know why you think that in the comments below and if you're curious to see what other people think, check back on our blog on the 1st of September.
Nearly 70% of UK Football Sponsored by Gambling Industry
This year, the Gaelic Athletic Association have severed their sponsorship deals with gambling companies.
GAA's Mick Roch, said that "sport these days is besieged by gambling."
More and more companies have started sponsoring football teams in the Premier League. During the last five years, the number has increased three times, from three to nine companies.
It's difficult to watch a football game without gambling-related logos appearing on the screen every few seconds. And that's not surprising, considering that 17 clubs are sponsored by various bookmakers.
This is crazy:
Nearly 70% of England's top division teams will sport a gambling logo on the front of their shirts.
And although the betting/lottery industries are one of the smaller investors into top football leagues in the UK, the amount of funding is increasing.
In the below graph, you can observe just that. Bookmakers and casinos are spending more and more on football sponsorship, while other industries are declining. Hence, the fast rate at which is increasing is causing great concern to organisations such as GambleAware and Gambling Watch UK.
Problem and Underage Gambling On The Rise
The aforementioned concerns expressed by the Football Association of Ireland are just as relevant in the UK.
The government has been fighting problem gambling for years and they don't seem to be winning. Could the change in advertising policy during sports fix this?
Meanwhile, the problem gambling issue in the country has increased at a similar rate.
According to UKGC, the number of problem gamblers has increased by more than 50% recently.
There were less than 300,000 problem gamblers in the country a few years ago. Today, the number of people who can be classed as problem gamblers is well over 430,000. Plus, more than 2 million are at risk of developing a gambling addiction at any time.
It gets worse:
What's even more alarming is the number of people under the legal limit to gamble that actually get to gamble. It's estimated that 370,000 children, ages 11-16, gamble on a regular basis and approximately 25,000 of them can be classed as problem gamblers.
Many argue that it's because sports teams and events, such as Premier League football in the UK, feature so much bookmaker imagery and branding.
Since events like these are a huge part of the culture and are watched by children, experts are calling for a tightening on sports sponsorships by gambling brands.
As a result:
Some are suggesting that increasing restrictions on gambling advertising in the sports industry might help. It would decrease the presence that gambling companies have in the media to an extent and could help curb the effects it has on problem gambling.

Togo Rainfall
Kpalime, Togo West Africa
Saturday, April 7, 2007
I started raining about 10:00 am and has turned into a daylong drencher here in Togo.
There is GREEN at the bottom of Togo.
The green on this map is where there is rain forest.
Rainforest (2)
- Tropical rain forests are located near the equator where the temperature hovers around 27° C (80° F) year-round. Although they cover, less than 10 percent of the Earth's surface, tropical rain forests provide habitat for 50 to 90 percent of the world's plant and animal species. -
Then another
Togo Climate
- The climate of Togo is tropical. Average annual temperatures range from 27°C (81°F) at the coast to 30°C (86°F) in the north. The south has two rainy seasons, from March to July and from October to November; the average annual rainfall on the coast is about 890 mm (about 35 in). It doubles in the mountains a few kilometers inland. The north has one rainy season (April to July) and receives nearly all of its annual precipitation (1,140 mm/45 in) during this period. - (2)
I would say, the prediction is rain. It is cooler now.
A rain forest is in fun in way, too wet sometimes; however, when there is an extremely good rain forest the overabundance of green is amazing. Water plus Soil equals green.
Of all the places on the planet to complain about lack of food, the one place I am not too excited to hear, is in a rain forest. The green explodes in a true rainforest, I am not going to say that Togo is a true rainforest, for one thing, most of the forest is missing, long ago logged for the Mahogany and other woods, and now used as the fuel to cook. There has been an environmental shock given to this area by my guess the loggers, and continues for firewood.
I believe the food grows so easily in Togo; they do not even weed the gardens or care to clear the land properly. They in a way just turn the soil over; plant the seeds in big mounds and hope.
This is a photo of a large mound of dirt, as I understand in each mound they planted a Yam. The mounds are made in this teepee fashion so the heavy and persistent rain has a trough for the water to flow around the mounds, however allowing the yam to remain. This is not as easy to learn about as you think.
I have been talking with a friend in the USA about Africa farmland. There is something missing in this puzzle, or there is some confusion here. The land is flat, too much water, plenty of cheap labor, and the land under tilled or cultivated. As best I can farm is less than 25 percent of the land that could be farmed, and I am being nice.
I do not see this country and having any cash crops, they have garden crops they sell in the local markets. However, the actual, we grow this for cash, and sell to the world is hard to see. Ivory Coast or the areas closer to Ivory Coast are better, while in the Ivory Coast I could see cash crops grown easily.
Togo eats rice as one of their staple diets, and I do not remember ever seeing rice grown here. Now, it does require more work to grow rice and working hard is not culturally normal, or I do not see it.
I see most of the rice imported from Thailand or from a bag, that says the USA, but I think from India or Thailand and sold an Uncle Sam Rice, they also have Uncle Bob.
I am not sure, seems like a great place in Togo, Ghana and Benin to start a large farm business. I think the Ivory Coast is already doing well.
I have never seen a typical rain forest in Togo; however, they are doing an exceptionally good job of burning West Africa to cook. In addition, the loggers did and exceptionally good job of cutting down all the trees for lumber. This place is flat, easy to do all this.

Building relationships through international connections
Global Connections
We believe that relationships and community are key components to the development of global citizenship. We create opportunities for friendly exchange through our monthly discussion groups. Our International Visitors Leadership Program allows current and emerging foreign leaders in a variety of fields to experience the United States firsthand and cultivate lasting relationships with leaders in Maine's business, educational, and political communities. Our Know Your Neighbor lunch program seeks to create community between Mainers and new Mainers through a shared meal and conversation.
International Visitors Leadership Program
The World Affairs Council of Maine serves as our state's coordinator for the U.S. State Department's premier professional exchange program, the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP), established in 1940 by former U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt to help strengthen U.S. engagement with countries around the world.
Know Your Neighbor Lunch Series
This series invites WACM members and the local community to enjoy a meal at a local ethnic restaurant while also learning about the country or region from which the food originates. This series aims to benefit (1) our membership and local community through the opportunity to enjoy great food while broadening one's understanding of a country or region, and (2) local restaurants through promotion of their business and revenue from the event. We hope these lunch events mark the first of many visits by our membership to some of Maine's best restaurants!

In August, Pro-Veg Seeds founder and director John Burrows held an anniversary lunch for invited guests at the company's open day site at Soham in Cambridgeshire to celebrate 30 years in business. The occasion was also marked by a number of new entries to the commercial catalogue, all of which could be viewed at the site, which is managed for the firm by Darlow's Contract Services.
The location also allows Pro-Veg to demonstrate the full range of its diverse portfolio, including onions, carrots, baby leaf, legumes, squash and sweet corn, as well as outdoor and protected peppers, cucumbers, melons and tomatoes.
When it comes to allium crops, consultant Barrie Smith explained that Pro-Veg focus on novel types of bulb and salad onions, rather than mainstream bulb crops. "We are trying to pick slightly novel varieties, such as Karminka and Elista which are currently in the second year of NIAB onion trials." Both are long day varieties with elliptical bulbs, and Barrie feels that the dark red-purple colour of Karminka could complement the white of Elista in a mixed pack. "They are a different animal to your round onions," he explained. "They are long, long day varieties and they store very well. We have also produced crops of both at very high density to pack as minis, something we hope to promote further." The company also sells the eschallion variety Zebrune, produced from its own guaranteed quality stock seed, something which Barrie says makes it the firm's best selling onion variety at the current time.
In salad onions Pro-Veg works with two or three breeders and this year's trials included varieties derived from both Allium cepa and A. cepa x A. fistulosum. "We have three really good varieties from a breeder in the United States," explained Barrie. "They are cepa-fistulosum crosses and all three have been launched commercially in America, but we are trying to decide which one to progress with. For overwintered production, Gerda can be sown in August for spring harvesting.
Purple sprouting broccoli is a well established crop, but American variety Jacaranda F1 is a purple, full head type broccoli variety which is quite early to mature and which produces a good coloured head with a dense curd composed of solid florettes. The company also markets a number of Syngenta's broccoli varieties to the amateur market in the UK, and Pro-Veg also markets Brokali varieties of sprouting broccoli, which are similar to Tenderstem types.
Sweetcorn is another crop where Pro-Veg has a strong portfolio thanks to its work with an American breeder, and Barrie highlighted three new entries to the catalogue in particular. Latte F1 is a 68-day bi-coloured synergistic Sugary Enhancer (SE) hybrid, with a high yield potential as the 19-21 cm long cobs have good tip fill. However, with customer ambiguity towards bi-coloured varieties, the yellow version Café F1 may be of more interest commercially. "We also have Moonshine F1, which we launched last year," added Barrie. With 'outstanding' cold soil emergence, it produces high yields of 20 cm cobs with good tip cover and very little shank.
Primarily being trialled as an attractive ornamental option for the amateur market, Picasso F1 is a purple-leaved variety. "At this stage it has some interesting colour in it," commented Barrie. "I don't think other companies put on a show like this for the UK."
As part of that diversity the company also has a range of salad and brassica varieties suitable for baby leaf production including rocket, lettuce, kale, salad rape, oak leaf and a purple pak choi.
A separate open day is held to showcase the pumpkin and squash assortment, but Barrie is particularly pleased with two 'acorn' type varieties of winter squash from America: Mashed Potatoes and Baked Potatoes. As the name implies, Mashed Potatoes has nearly white flesh which resembles mashed potatoes when baked and fluffed, while Baked Potatoes is more suitable for use in soups and for roasting.
As well as other edible lines, including melons and leaves, Pro-Veg also has a strong ornamental presence with its sunflowers, including dwarf pot, border and cut-flower types. A number of cut flower type sunflowers have recently been added to the catalogue, including the bi-colour variety Helios Flame F1 which has excellent vase life. Looking forward, Barrie feels that PV 17-05 will also become an invaluable addition to the range for professional and amateur growers alike.
Pro-Veg also has three wildflower mixes, of which Butterfly Mix 9947 is the most productive. A large border on the site was attracting large numbers of bees and hoverflies. "It's beautiful and there is a range of different things in it when you get amongst it," stressed Barrie. "It started flowering at the end of June and has just got better and better."

Five Ways to Communicate with Embedded Device in Linux
December 12, 2015 | Article | No Comments
Embedded system / device running operating system such as Linux / BSD is not so uncommon today. Most of them fall in category as routers, servers, NAS devices and mostly have communication interface (serial port with RS-232, or even fancy USB). We can communicate with these kind of devices, by redirect our I/O to this port. That's the hardware part, how can we feed information to it? What tools should we use?
This article will mention five ways to communicate with embedded device. Our operating system of choice is Linux.
Of course we need to specify, our embedded system is the one which is designed to send/receive data / command using communication line.
The physical port might be one and only, but how it is referred by our system? Thus we should check. The port commonly referred as ttyS*, ttyACM*, ttyUSB*. It is analogous to COM* on Windows. Let's check by dmesg command. Connect our box with our device and invoke following command:
dmesg | egrep --color 'serial|ttyS|ttyACM|ttyUSB'
This one will be our example:
[ 1.245258] serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A [ 1.265727] serial8250: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A [ 1.286713] 00:07: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A [ 1.307321] 00:08: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
Let's get initial report regarding the port. We need the configuration information associated with serial port (in this context):
setserial -g /dev/ttyS[0123]
Sample outputs:
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4 /dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3 /dev/ttyS2, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 4 /dev/ttyS3, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02e8, IRQ: 3
After confirmed, we can use following method to communicate.
CU Command
You might also want to read my old article: using CU to communicate with modem.
CU, abbreviated from call up, is an old unix command used to call up another system and act as dial in terminal. In some unix it is preinstalled. If not, you can always install it, most modern distro available.
Next, we use following command to communicate:
cu -l /dev/device -s baud-rate-speed
In our case, /dev/device would be /dev/ttyS0. Our baud rate is anything predefined value you want such as 19200 or 115200. Make sure the baudrate in both end is the same value.
cu -l /dev/device -s baud-rate-speed
In this example, I'm using /dev/ttyS0 with 115200 baud-rate:
cu -l /dev/ttyS0 -s 115200
To exit enter tilde dot (~.).
Screen Command
Most case, screen is used as a trick to run a process in server when we are remotely connect to it. We can also use screen to communicate with device.
screen /dev/device baud-rate
Minicom Command
Minicom is another approach. It is a tool designed for the job. Before we use, we need to setup it.
minicom -s
You will see some menu there. The most crucial part here is Serial port setup. Make sure the port and baud rate are set correctly.
Invoke minicom to do the job. We don't need to specify command to minicom everytime we invoke it if we have saved the configuration before.
PuTTY Command
PuTTY, yes it is available also on Linux. It is a free and open source gui X based terminal emulator client for the SSH, Telnet, rlogin, and raw TCP computing protocols and as a serial console client. To use it, invoke PuTTY and wait for its GUI.
On Session, select Serial. Again, specify the port as Serial line and the baud rate as Speed.
Tip command
Last but not least, is using tip command. To use tip, we invoke following:
tip -baud device
For example:
tip -115200 ttyS0embedded system, linux

The Indiana Pacers vs. Washington Wizards series will get started on Monday night and The Inquisitr is here to give a first look preview. In one of the strangest implosions in recent NBA history, the Indiana Pacers have been horrendous since the All-Star break. Yet, the Pacers managed to snag the one seed in the seriously horrible Eastern Conference.
Unfortunately, the Indiana Pacers vs. Washington Wizards series may not be as fun as the Pacers would have hoped. After being pushed to the brink of elimination by the lowly Atlanta Hawks, the Pacers were simply fortunate that the Hawks played worse than they did in game seven. As the Pacers gear up for their series with the Wizards, their are still more questions than answers.
The Washington Wizards handled the Chicago Bulls like a veteran playoff team. Severely offensively challenged, the Chicago Bulls only hope was to out hustle the Wizards. But the Wizards were ready and never let off the gas. Even with Nene Hilario's suspension in game four, the Wizards simply were too offensively potent for the Bulls. Game 5 was a pushover and the Wizards easily cruised to a 4-1 series victory.
Now, as the Indiana Pacers vs. Washington Wizards series gets set to kick off, the Pacers find themselves up against a better version of the pesky Atlanta Hawks. The reason the Pacers struggled so mightily against the Hawks was match up problems. Roy Hibbert and George Hill are the weakest links on the Indiana Pacers roster right now. Washington should easily be able to exploit Hill especially in the backcourt.
John Wall and Bradley Beal both averaged close to 20 points per game in the first round and should be expected to do similar damage against the Pacers. Lance Stephenson will present a problem for the much smaller Beal, but the Wizards have a much deeper bench and the emergence of Trevor Ariza in the 2014 NBA playoffs will spread the floor. Factor in the outstanding play the Wizards are getting from Nene Hilario and this series could get ugly quick.
Of course, the team with the best player always has an advantage and Paul George is easily the best player in this series. If the Indiana Pacers vs. the Washington Wizards series is going past four games, it will be on the offense of George. He practically carried the Pacers to victory in their game seven victory against the Hawks. If George can continue to put pressure on the Wizards defense, the Pacers might be able to get through to the next round.
The Indiana Pacers vs. Washington Wizards winner will most likely get a shot at the defending champion Miami Heat, unless the Heat get trouble from the winner of the Brooklyn and Toronto series.

Within a research and demonstration project, a managementtool (MTool) for the improvement of laying hen welfare is tested and improved on about 15 laying hen farms that refrain from beak trimming or are planning to do so. The tool was developed on the basis of scientific evidence and practical experience. It allows an animal based assessment of the individual management success and structured approach to identify potentially causal factors in case of impaired welfare, e.g. in case of feather pecking or cannibalism. In this way it provides support to the laying hen farmer concerning decisions which housing and management aspects need improvements in order to successfully keep laying hens with intact beaks.

3 Things to Know About Creating Successful Facebook Ads
In the world of social media, Facebook is still at the top.
As of 2018, the platform had 2.2 billion users, and advertising has continued to soar. According to MarTech, 2018 fourth quarter advertising revenue came in at $16.6 billion, up 30 percent compared to the previous year.
It's more than safe to say that Facebook advertising is worth the investment.
But where should you start?
Here are 3 things to know about creating successful Facebook ads.
1. Start With Your Objective
It seems obvious, but in a system where you can choose almost a dozen different objectives (and sub-objectives!), determining your ultimate objective will simplify every subsequent decision. Choosing your campaign objective will start you off on the right foot, allowing Facebook to use its algorithms to your advantage. Here's a sampling of the objectives:
Reach is the go-to objective for gaining foot traffic. Are you a church who is launching a campaign to extend a Sunday morning welcome? Choosing Reach allows you to tailor your audience within a certain radius of your business location.
Pro Tip: Don't confuse the Reach objective with Brand Awareness, which also aims to generate buzz, but is more costly and best suited for mega-companies.
Video Views
This category is self-explanatory, but don't be fooled. Consider the possibility of an audience that's actually too broad, which might end up being costly for the amount of engagement you generate. Video Views is a great campaign objective if you have a strong video that represents your brand and product well, and you want to build awareness with untargeted audiences.
Understand more about Facebook marketing with The New Facebook Algorithm Demystified.
One of the most powerful Facebook ad campaign objectives is Engagement, which ultimately gets more people to see your ad and take subsequent action. As explained by Josh Barney for Einstein Marketer:
"When this objective is selected, Facebook shows your ad to people who have a history of engaging (liking, sharing, commenting) with ads.
Ads that have high engagement do really well because they contain the power of Social Proof. This elusive and interest-peaking factor, encourages new users to spend more time on a post."
Social proof comes in the form of likes and shares, and with videos, views are critical. Within the Engagement objective, you can set up your ad to include a "Page Like" option, which adds a thumb icon in the footer of your ad, to potentially increase social proof by showing the number of "likes."
Lead Generation
Did you know that your lead generating can be done on Facebook? With this objective, Facebook displays your ad to viewers within your target audience who will provide their contact information in exchange for a Facebook pop-up form. Do you want to share valuable long-form content with your audience? This campaign type might work for you.
There are many more objectives, and it's worth taking a peak around the Ads Help Center on Facebook to get more details on the subject.
2. Pick the Right Ad Format
Ads can be designed in a variety of creative formats.
Are you in an organization whose worthy and valuable product might not translate well through photos? Then use something like a Carousel Ad with beautiful images that tell a story about the lifestyle that your product will enhance.
Is your product beautiful and unique? Create a Photo Ad with minimal copy and a simple image.
Videos are becoming the standard in Facebook ads, and there are many varieties to choose from. Don't be confused though: You can use video ads in any campaign, not just video view campaigns.
AdEspresso from Hootsuite researched Facebook ads and found that companies are having fun experimenting with ad formats, particularly video. In addition to finding that you only have a few seconds to communicate branding within a video (see more in the next section), they also recommend:
- Work in primary colors (red, blue, yellow).
- Incorporate scrolling text.
3. Create Wisely
There are best practices to follow when creating ads specific to Facebook, and here are the three most critical.
Keep It Short
When it comes to video ads, here are two important numbers: 3 and 6.
You have 3 seconds to make your brand clear. After a meta-analysis, 3 seconds resulted in the greatest brand recall among consumers.
Consumers' attention spans are getting shorter every day, and even though Facebook recommends 5-15 second video ads, 6-second ads actually show "higher brand metrics across the board."
Design your ad around these staggering numbers and you will make the most of your investment.
Create a Clear Call-To-Action (CTA)
Whether you're creating a photo ad or a video ad, clear CTA is critical. It's easy to forget that critical piece when you're focused on ad visuals or video shares.
Go back to your objective. Why did you create your campaign in the first place? Give your audience only one job to do. Make the desired response clear.
Find keyword updates you can make to the pages of your website: How Should I Use Keywords?
Make Sure It's Relevant
Facebook has made relevance testing easier. In the Ads Manager, you can add a relevance score tab to your reports, by which Facebook will display your ad's relevance metric. The score is calculated on the feedback your ad is anticipated to receive, so you can make adjustments.
No one metric tells the whole story, and it's possible that you can achieve great results even though Facebook's relevance score was sub-par, but why not test it out?
Next time you're on Facebook, take notice of the ads in your feed or in the margins. Every good ad will call attention using clear, engaging copy and high-quality visuals. How can you translate those best practices to your organization?
We'd love to hear from you! Leave a comment below and share with us your best practice from Facebook advertising.

Wow!!! Looks like this month is running so fast for me. I mean sometimes I may count the day but that's because my birthday is coming up too hehehhehehe. It's still a month far but it's nice to count the day while it still a month away. This month is another birthday celebration for our family, but I don't think everyone will have fun since it's 4 days after my uncle will be buried. It would be odd you know, I know my grandparents and my familys members will still in pain and so am I.
But with me I am trying to pretend I'm strong to them, so they won't worry too much about me being so far away from them. Anyway, 3 more days to go and my uncle will get buried. It's sad that I can't see him even for the last time, but I asked my sister to let my parents barrow the camera so they take a pictures. That way I can see my uncle on his funeral, I know I'm going to miss him, however I am glad that I have his recent pictures together with my family during their visit on his parents. That's all for now and take care.

Lack of requested information from SW&S? scmreferrals@justice. sent her an email 11th March 2020 offering mediation "A telephone mediation session of up to one hour is available to you on 01/04/2020 between 11.45 and 17.30." THEN: Another email from scmferrals was then sent within 2minutes withdrawing this offer of mediation. Aside from the above. Would an SAR be of any use?

That advice is all good. Thanks for everyone's help. its appreciated
By BankFodder · PostedAnd to add to my site team colleague' s advice above, if you phoned the vet, they may well say that it is out of their hands now and with a debt collection agency. Insist that it is with them and if they maintain their position then it is probably worth writing to them to confirm that you asked them for details and that they refused. It's a good idea to develop a paper trail – especially where they are acting unreasonably and refusing basic information such as an account. You could also serve them with an SAR which will compel them to provide you all the information you want

A Shade Greener – ASG boilers – Everlasting Boilers – Maintenance and repair to boiler ending contract
ALLCHAR posted a topic in The building trade and installers,I came across this discussion recently and just wanted to give my experience of A Shade Greener that may help others regarding their boiler finance agreement.
We had a 10yr finance contract for a boiler fitted July 2015.
After a summer of discontent with ASG I discovered that if you have paid HALF the agreement or more you can legally return the boiler to them at no cost to yourself. I've just returned mine the feeling is liberating.
It all started mid summer during lockdown when they refused to service our boiler because we didn't have a loft ladder or flooring installed despite the fact AS installed the boiler. and had previosuly serviced it without issue for 4yrs. After consulting with an independent installer I was informed that if this was the case then ASG had breached building regulations, this was duly reported to Gas Safe to investigate and even then ASG refused to accept blame and repeatedly said it was my problem. Anyway Gas Safe found them in breach of building regs and a compromise was reached.
A month later and ASG attended to service our boiler but in the process left the boiler unusuable as it kept losing pressure not to mention they had damaged the filling loop in the process which they said was my responsibilty not theres and would charge me to repair, so generous of them! Soon after reporting the fault I got a letter stating it was time we arranged a powerflush on our heating system which they make you do after 5 years even though there's nothing in the contract that states this. Coincidence?
After a few heated exchanges with ASG (pardon the pun) I decided to pull the plug and cancel our agreement.
The boiler was removed and replaced by a reputable installer, and the old boiler was returned to ASG thus ending our contract with them. What's mad is I saved in excess of £1000 in the long run and got a new boiler with a brand new 12yr warranty.
You only have to look at TrustPilot to get an idea of what this company is like.

Post in Need to make final payment offers after years of paying my debts off - can no longer afford them..
comebackjimmy posted a post in a topic,Dazza a few months ago I discovered a good friend of mine who had ten debts with cards and catalogues which he was slavishly paying off at detriment to his own family quality of life, and I mean hardship, not just absence of second holidays or flat screen TV's.
I wrote to all his creditors asking for supporting documents and not one could provide any material that would allow them to enforce the debt.
As a result he stopped paying and they have been unable to do anything, one even admitted it was unenforceable.
If circumstances have got to the point where you are finding it unmanageable you must ask yourself why you feel the need to pay. I guarantee you that these companies have built bad debt into their business model and no one over there is losing any sleep over your debt to them! They will see you as a victim and cash cow and they will be reluctant to discuss final offers, only ways to keep you paying with threats of court action or seizing your assets if you have any.
They are not your friends and you owe them no loyalty or moral duty, that must remain only for yourself and your family.
If it was me I would send them all a CCA request. I would bet that not one will provide the correct response and you can quite legally stop paying them until such time as they do provide a response. Even when they do you should check back here as they mostly send dodgy photo copies or generic rubbish that has no connection with your supposed debt.
The money you are paying them should, as far as you are able, be put to a savings account for yourself and as a means of paying of one of these fleecers should they ever manage to get to to the point of a successful court judgement. After six years they will not be able to start court action and that money will then become yours.
They will of course pursue you for the funds and pass your file around various departments of their business and out to third parties.
Your response is that you should treat it as a hobby. I have numerous files of correspondence each faithfully organised showing the various letters from different DCA;s , solicitors etc with a mix of threats, inducements and offers. It is like my stamp collection and I show it to anyone who is interested!
Help with Wonga please!

Restaurant review: Justin Yu's Theodore Rex deserves four stars
The tomato toast at Theodore Rex, Justin Yu's latest restaurant, is the sort of instant crowd-pleaser he never used to do back when the space housed his highly regarded Oxheart. Bright and sassy and immediate, its fingers of rye pain de mie decked out with crimson cherry tomatoes and green herbs, it's so craveable that a friend of mine habitually orders two of them.
The hidden history of the dish begins with 75 pounds of tomatoes, which are cooked down into 5 pounds of intense tomato fondant. Once the rye fingers are toasted and brushed with a bit of tomato water, a layer of fondant creates a base for perfectly ripe cherry tomatoes. Serrated leaves of chervil and skinny bars of chive ride on top. The result is a dizzying, umami-like burst of flavor.
At 12 bucks, the tomato toast leads off a compact, 16-item à la carte menu that's a spare, low-key departure from the tightly choreographed tasting menus of Oxheart. That bothered me at first. I missed the theater of Oxheart, as the cooks came forth to explain each dish in detail, the drama of the offbeat wine and beer pairings, the ritual of each dish building on the sensations of the one before.
It suited me. Oxheart's detailed serving style spoke to my curiosity about techniques and sourcing, and Yu's rigorously local, vegetable-forward cuisine my interest in what's new and modern in the world of Houston dining. I was overjoyed when Yu won the James Beard Foundation's Best Chef Southwest award for his work there, and I was sad when he chose to close the place after five years, seeking a change.

So you might say I came to Theodore Rex with a bad attitude when it opened last fall. Oh, sure, I liked the cozier new look of the tiny, 28-seat room, with its flock of pale lanterns descending from the ceiling toward banquettes quilted in a blue-and-white triangular pattern. And I sympathized with Yu's yearning for a less intense lifestyle in which he wouldn't feel obliged to be in the kitchen every night; where friends could drop in to hang out rather than Dine with a capital d; where a meal could be an everyday pleasure rather than a special occasion.
Where there could be a happy hour, even. (Yes, there is one, during which wines by the glass are half off.)
Still, it took me a while to warm to Theodore Rex, with its jokey name that pays tribute to Yu's young nephew. I couldn't quite figure out how to put a satisfying meal together out of the small sharable plates, the small less-sharable plates and the quartet of bigger items that function as entrees. It didn't help that I visited with Yu fans whose approach was, "Let's order the whole menu!," or that a couple of the dishes back then left me cold.
Five visits in, I get it. Nay, I love it - in an entirely different way than I loved Oxheart. Over and above that tomato toast, I've encountered dishes I dream of eating again. I've seen a couple of dishes I shrugged over evolve into higher and better selves. I've grown comfortable with gauging the times when I can probably snag a walk-in seat at the five-person counter - now, as then, my favorite way of experiencing the place.
I've figured out that I can interrogate the well-informed staff about those details I want to know - Where's this from? How's that done? - even though they don't volunteer them all, Oxheart style. I've spent some diverting wait times in a vintage mod holding room entered through a door around the corner, fitted out with a serious sound system and lots of old vinyl. It's like a secret clubhouse.
Most of all, I have come to appreciate that the food produced by Yu and his kitchen team, headed up by the very capable Jason White, still pushes the envelope on flavor, texture and technique. The dishes may look simpler, less structured than they did at Oxheart. But like that tomato toast, behind even the most rustic-looking plate is a hidden history of exacting process and painstakingly sourced ingredients.
Take the elemental-looking bowlful of rice and butter beans. The Carolina Gold rice grains are not only plumped and smoothed and enriched with quantities of butter; some of them are puffed to brittle bits and strewn on for a joyous leavening effect. Green herbs of the season and a twinge of citrus chime in, and it all makes a bean bowl downright cosmic.
The same simple/not-simple tension applies to my current favorite dish, a shallow bowl of Rio Red grapefruit meshed with thin slices of blanched snap pea pods. The excitement springs from the temperature play of chilled fruit and warmed vegetable; the gentle bitterness and tartness of the grapefruit against the sweet snap of the pea pods; the herbal lift of lemon thyme mixing with blanched grapefruit peel. Even the color contrast - warm, soft red against vivid spring green - invigorates.
At the end, I recommend picking up the bowl and drinking the liquid. I'll be sad when that grapefruit dish leaves the menu, as it must when the season ends.
Besides that grapefruit, the dish I can most easily imagine dropping in for solo is the sturdy little Italian bread dumplings, pastalike critters aswim in a zippy "whey sauce" (sounds awful, tastes great) and laced with soulful braised greens, soft small white beans and crumbles of fresh white cheese. With a glass of sparkling white Lambrusco - one of many appealing by-the-glass selections from beverage director Justin Vann - this is my idea of heaven.
So is the stewed beef breast warmed in pickle juice, an unlikely sounding affair energized by the brisk, tart broth and the sharp, salty pop of aged cheddar. Texas Wagyu strip loin may sound more conventional, reverse-seared to a fine rose-red and exterior char. But it is enmeshed, these days, in a twisty cage of partially dried Hinona Kabu turnips and dressed with a mince of rib-eye cap and arugula. It's a remarkable improvement on the starker beef preparation from the opening menu.
The current cauliflower main dish is more compelling than an initial version, too. These days the steaklike cross-section comes with buttery, wine-y Bordelaise sauce and a roasted kale paste that melts across the surface. Some grilled leaves from a broccoli head add some texture and even greener depth. The shiny white blob to one side? A gentle gloss of cauliflower cream.
There's a T Rex dish or two I can live without. Soft semolina disks in a pecorino fondue come crowned with escabeche-style carrots that are puzzlingly sweet. The effect seems clashing rather than ingratiating. And I've never been moved the way I want to be by the square hunks of heritage chicken or turkey with a butter lettuce salad and soft egg dressing. Once the skin failed to provide enough contrast; another time, the flavors never quite came to attention.
But those odd moments are few, and the ingenuity at work trumps the stray bobbles, in my book. My experience is that dishes keep evolving on an upward curve. I thought it wasn't possible for White's steamed Gulf snapper, in a lilting herbal broth lifted by Meyer lemon, to get any better. Until, from one visit to another, it did.
Even Yu's desserts have a puckish sense of inevitability to them, no matter how improbable they sound. A cream-puffy Paris Brest filled with savory/sweet Swiss cheese cream? It works. So do the season's local strawberries lightly dried in the oven, so that their tart/sweet flavor intensifies, then placed at attention in a bowl swiped with a saba grape mosto reduction. The billow of whipped cream to one side makes the dessert read like some off-world strawberry shortcake, minus the distracting biscuit.
T Rex feels like a happy, convivial place, thanks to an idiosyncratic soundtrack and a cordial staff headed up by Oxheart veteran Diana Kendrick, one of the calmest, smartest presences in any Houston dining room. Sommelier Bridget Paliwoda administers the wine and beer list with wit and, most importantly, a fresh sense of what's possible.
That's the sense with which I leave this unusual young restaurant lately. Yu keeps finding his way, and I feel lucky to go along for the ride.

Everyone knows that as you breathe and continues to do certain activities in your life, you tend to get cancer. Cancer is a disease that can affect and kill anyone on this earth. Anyone can be a beneficiary does not, it attacks the rich and poor, a politician, a president, a teacher, a scientist as well as celebrities.
Today, in our generation, cancer cases are still climbing. However, cases of survival have also been increasing. And we want to know exactly how these cancer victims survived a deadly disease, they tried to undergo some alternative cancer treatments? Or did they just focus on making standard cancer treatments or maybe they did both. This is the list of famous people who have been diagnosed with cancer and it made through.
1. Kate Jackson - who can not fail to remember Sabrina Duncan in the series Charlie's Angels television in the 1970s? It is probably one of the most popular characters in the series Charlie's Angels "at the beginning. She was a survivor of cancer twice breast; the first time she was diagnosed with cancer in 1987 was just after the end of Scarecrow and Mrs. King TV series. She managed to return to the TV and shoot for the baby boom, but the series lasted one season, because the public does not have to love it. In 1989, her breast cancer reappeared when she was featured in a series called Lover Boy. It has successfully passed through both his cancer and that's why it was included and became a cover of People magazine in May 1992. In his feature film, she shared how life-changing and inspiring were his trials.
2. Rod Stewart - Hot Legs, Sailing and I do not want to talk about it, are three of the biggest hits that made Rod Stewart one of the most famous singing sensation. However, as we all know cancer does not respect anyone. He does not care exactly how important you are or just how you are, Rod learned he had a malignant thyroid gland in his throat while making a routine examination in 2000. He, for now, stopped singing to undergo surgery to his throat. The cancer was surgically removed and Rod finally returned to his first love who sings after his operation. He informed everyone that he felt much better after this operation.
3. Lance Armstrong - Tour de France is what made Lance Armstrong famous and dominate the world of cycling. It is among the most famous cyclists, winning the Tour de France seven times! It was after his seventh consecutive victory when he was diagnosed with testicular cancer. Testicular cancer is a cancer developed in the testes which is part of the male reproductive system. He was diagnosed with cancer of the third floor in 1996, and cancer cells have spread throughout his lungs and brain. Although everyone knows that it is impossible for him to pass through, it went through two surgeries to remove his testicular cancer and another to remove the one in his brain. He eventually survived and educated himself about the disease, and at one time inspired to create a foundation in 2008, which was named "Lance Armstrong Foundation and Demand Media."
These people are certainly much more like us, they have the same body parts that look like us. The thing is, nobody is exempt from cancer. No one can get by popular when it hits. Get encouragement from these people, they never lost hope, they decided to live, that's why God gave them another chance at life. If you are identified as having cancer today, use it as an inspiration to others.
You may want to try to make alternative cancer treatments. Whatever you may think this is useful and will help you to do. And use your tale of life as an inspiration to others. You may not be as well known of these celebrities, but gives grace to the disease could make you even popular than before, because you have inspired and used the lessons in your life to help others.

My rating:
Camilla, "Cami," LaRue was five years old when she first fell in love with Landon Palazzo. Everyone told her the puppy love would fade—they clearly never met Landon. When he left after graduation without a backward glance, she was heartbroken. But Cami grew up, moved on, and became part-owner of wildly popular restaurant Seduction. She has everything she could want...or so she thinks.
After spending the last 12 years as a Navy fighter pilot, Landon returns to Portland to take over the family construction business. When he catches a glimpse of little Cami LaRue, he realizes she's not so little any more. He always had a soft spot for his little sister's best friend, but nothing is soft now when he's around the gorgeous restauranteur.
Landon isn't going to pass up the chance to make the girl-next-door his. She's never been one for romance, but he's just the one to change her mind. Will seduction be just the name of her restaurant or will Cami let him get close enough to fulfill all her fantasies?
I'm not sure how exactly I waited so long to read this book since, when I finished Listen to Me, I was SO VERY READY for Cami and Landon's story. I was lucky to get my hands on this book super early, but you know how it goes… I got distracted with other books and then I decided to read it the weekend before release. And when I say I read it, I mean I binged it from cover to cover in one sitting. I regret nothing.
The best friend's brother crush is one of my favorite tropes. That's just part of the reason I was excited about this book though. I adored Cami in the first book in the series. Landon intrigued me. I couldn't wait to see them together. I wasn't disappointed, either. Cami had a crush on Landon since she was five years old. He's had a crush on her nearly every bit as long… and he kept it under wraps that entire time. So under wraps that Cami married someone else. (And divorced him before this series started… so no love triangle here!) These two were so obviously made for each other that I could barely stand it. (That's not true. I loved every moment of it.)
I think what I loved most about this book – aside from the fact that Cami and Landon were so darn OTP it hurt – was that the relationship between them was fairly uncomplicated. There were no outside forces working against them. This book wasn't angsty, but it did punch me in the feels a couple times. While I was reading by the pool. Thank goodness for sunglasses to hide the tears. Not only did it have plenty of feels, but it had humor, heart and SUPER HOT sexy times. Cami and Landon's chemistry – in and out of the bedroom – leapt off the page. I adored these two together.
The other thing I really liked about this book was the friendships. I got a taste of them during the first book, but they were even stronger here. I love these women. No frenemies or mean girls here. These ladies have each others backs big time. They're all strong, successful women and I can't wait to read along as those who haven't been paired up yet meet their perfect match. Even better, I know I'll continue to see my favorite couples along the way, just like I did with Jake and Addie in this book. *swoony sigh*
I'm totally in love with this series. Kristen Proby is knocking it out of the park with Fusion. The wait for the next book is long, but that just means I'll be really, really ready for it when I get my hands on it.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher, via Edelweiss, in exchange for an honest review.
"When we have sex, it won't be because either of us has to. It'll be because we're both ready and can't keep our damn hands off of each other. Making love to you will never be a chore."
"I want to make you make noises like that."
"I get lost in you."
"Mm. But it's the kind of lost that's like being found."
"This moment is thirteen years in the making, and I couldn't have pictured it any better than this."
Are you reading Kristen's Fusion series?
If you're not yet, are you planning on it?

ITV newsreader Justina Simpson was stalked by an obsessive fan who sent her a book called Kiss Kiss by children's author Roald Dahl, which described "the delicious feeling as you go to bed that you're being watched".
Magistrates at Barry, South Wales, heard Simpson, a presenter on ITV Wales, was sent explicit books and pictures up to three times a day by 58-year-old viewer Peter Sullivan causing the newsreader to feel 'extremely uneasy and harassed."
Sullivan, of Roath, Cardiff, had an indefinite restraining order preventing him from having any contact with Simpson placed on him as Magistrates imposed a two-year community order, a two-year supervision order and a two year mental health treatment requirement order.
Sullivan had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and had "extreme difficulties" the Telegraph reported.

Family Educational Rights and Privacy (FERPA)
Search of Student Residences and Personal Belongs
The 1974 Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, also known as the Buckley Amendment, is a federal law (20 U.S.C. 1232g) that protects the privacy of a student's educational record (currently enrolled or formerly enrolled regardless of their age). FERPA applies to all educational institutions receiving funds from the United States Department of Education, from kindergarten through university level. The law grants four specific rights to students:
For more information about FERPA please see the Records and Registration web page.
FERPA protects the confidentiality of student records and specifies those limited situations in which information from educational records may be released without a student's prior consent. The law permits Elizabethtown College, in its sole discretion, to disclose information without a student's prior consent to parents or guardians of a financially dependent student (as defined by the Internal Revenue Service). If a student is not a financially dependent student and that student has not provided prior consent, the College is not permitted to disclose information, even to the student's parents. However, if the College has knowledge of a student experiencing (1) a life-threatening situation or serious illness including one that requires emergency hospitalization, or (2) an act or threat of violence toward self or others or significant abuse of self or others, the Dean of Students or members of the Student Life staff may contact that student's parent or guardian with or without the student's prior consent.
Parents or guardians of any student under 21 years of age may be notified of the following situations with or without the student's prior consent:
Whenever possible the Student Life staff discusses the implications of notification with the student before contacting the parent or guardian. Ideally, the student is encouraged to make the call and the Student Life Staff is available to assist with explanation of circumstances or to elaborate on pertinent college policy or practice.
The College may release publicly the name, nature of the violation and the student conduct sanction for any student who is found in violation of a College policy that is classified as a crime of violence: arson, burglary, robbery, criminal homicide, sex offenses (including rape, forcible fondling, statutory rape, and incest), assault, destruction/damage/vandalism of property and kidnapping/abduction. The College will release this information to the complainant or next of kin, if complainant is deceased, in any of these offenses regardless of the outcome.
Student conduct records are expunged seven years after graduation, voluntary withdrawal, disciplinary suspension or expulsion from the College.
The College respects the privacy of the student at all times, but reserves the right to take necessary measures should there be a reason to believe College policies have been violated or the safety and well-being of the campus community may be compromised. In most cases, prior to a search of the student's residence, personal belongings, or registered vehicle, the College will seek cooperation from the student. However, in cases involving local law enforcement investigations or when the College must quickly and confidentially proceed with a search in order to protect the safety of others, the College reserves the right to search without the student's prior consent.
Authorized college officials may enter residences owned or leased by the College. These spaces include rooms in traditional residence halls and the bedrooms and shared living spaces in college-owned and leased apartments and townhouses. Student residences may be entered at any time for purposes of routine maintenance, repair, and health or safety inspections, or in response to any emergency situation.
VISUAL INSPECTION: In cases when the College believes a policy or regulation is being violated, the College official may enter the student's residence to conduct a preliminary visual inspection. Any prohibited items in clear view may be seized by the College officials.
ADMINISTRATIVE SEARCH: The Dean of Students or a designated Student Life Dean on Call, or the President, may authorize a thorough administrative search of the student's residence. An administrative search will be conducted by a Campus Security Officer and witnessed by a Residence Life professional. Any prohibited items discovered during an administrative search may be seized by Campus Security.
Whenever prohibited items are seized an official inventory will be prepared. A copy of the inventory will be available to the student for review. A photo of each item may also be taken as further documentation of the search. Prohibited items will be disposed of according to the policies of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Campus Security.
The College reserves the right to inspect any abandoned personal property found in public areas owned or leased by the College. For example, if an unattended backpack is found in the lobby of a residence hall, a Campus Security Officer may open the bag and inspect the contents. Campus Security Officers may also inspect a student's personal belongings if there is reason to believe College policy has been violated or the safety and well-being of the college community may be compromised. For example, a student is involved in an alcohol policy incident and the responding personnel notice the student's backpack is wet and there is an odor of alcohol on the bag. In this case, the responding officer may inspect the contents of the backpack without the student's consent.
The College reserves the right to inspect any vehicle registered with Campus Security if there is reason to believe College policy has been violated or safety and well-being of the campus community may be compromised.

Rapid Detection of Mutagens with Direct MS
October 16, 2019
11:00 a.m. EDT, 8:00 a.m. PDT, 16:00 BST, 17:00 CEST
Volatile compounds are common impurities in pharmaceutical products and are often of concern due to their toxicity (e.g. as mutagens or genotoxins). SIFT-MS is a new analytical tool for real-time, selective, and economical trace gas and headspace quantification of volatile compounds, including chromatographically challenging ones such as formaldehyde, formic acid, and ammonia. But how do you approach analytical method validation for SIFT-MS so that the data can be used to support regulatory requirements? By applying a strategic approach in accordance with ICH Q2(R1) Guidelines to direct SIFT-MS methods – and utilizing formaldehyde analysis as a case study – successful validation is readily achieved.
Join us for this webinar to learn more about how SIFT-MS works, how it speeds up analysis, and how it can be validated successfully in accordance with ICH Q2(R1) Guidelines suitable for pharmaceutical applications such as regulatory submissions where GMP compliance is essential.

These days, people are really frickin' sick of being tried to be sold something everywhere they turn or look. But there are ways to look through it. Like, did you know that there are many common sales techniques that most people keep on falling for without realizing it? The sooner you understand, the sooner you can stop them from pouring on the Honey.
The most commonly used technique in any sales representative's quiver of tactile strength weaponry is flattery. Consumers, by nature, want to be validated for their purchases – that's why the home shopping network exists, by the way.
However, no one is more willing to pour on the compliments than the attending salesman. They're always the first to tell you that the dress you're trying on is stunningly slimming or the car you're test-driving makes you look like an executive.
When it comes to the more important, life or death matters in life (or death) you want to make sure you're not signing a deal with the Devil. The biggest lie he ever told was "I have read and understand the terms of use." Then, click accept.
Luckily, hard money lenders California aren't swindlers like that. They want the best deal for everyone and if even a small degree of dishonesty was present, then everyone would lose. That's because California hard money isn't about sales – it's about results. Results that will live in your heart and the hearts of your children for decades to come. And then everyone can breath a collective sigh of relief and go back to their daily living.

York County ARES has been hard at work since being formed just a few months ago. They have been holding weekly ARES nets, each Monday at 9pm, on the KD4EOD repeater. Net manager is Steve, W3SPC.
John, NJ4Z and Steve, W3SPC, have met with leadership for York County Communications and York County Emergency Management. They are working to define the primary and secondary roles that ARES will play in auxiliary and emergency communications to support York County.
YC ARES has met with numerous public service organizations, including DHEC and the Red Cross, and are currently defining ARES roles and responsibilities in those organizations emergency communications plans.
A tactical communications plan is currently being developed. This plan will outline the standard operating procedures if a disaster strikes our area.

Vice President
(530) 897-3174
Designations/Certifications: CISC, CRIS
Tony Pozas joined the InterWest team in June, 2006, and was elevated to Vice President in 2015. Prior to his relationship with InterWest, he served as the Vice President of one of the largest residential remodeling firms in the state. During that time, he was involved with numerous charities and served on the Board of Directors for the local Boy's and Girl's Clubs of America. His career in sales began while working for U.S Foodservice in Reno, NV, where he assisted hotel and casino clients with the purchase of food and restaurant equipment. While living in Nevada, he had the privilege of joining the Rotary Club of Carson City.
Tony enjoys working with diversified groups and is always in search of the perfect insurance program for his clients. He is proactive in understanding the marketplace options, including alternative markets, group captives, self-insurance, retrospective rating and other risk transfer products. Early in his career, he realized that business owners continually struggle with Human Resources and Risk Management compliance, which ultimately impacts their direct insurance costs. In an ongoing effort to provide solutions to manage the exposures and reduce the overall risk potential, Tony effectively engages InterWest's claims and risk control teams as well as services of the insurance carrier partners.
Continuing his education and knowledge in insurance has always been a priority. In 2007, Tony began his pursuit of multiple professional designations including Certified Insurance Specialist in Construction (CISC) and Construction Risk Insurance Specialist (CRIS). He has developed close relationships with risk managers and labor law attorneys to stay current with Cal & Fed OSHA regulations in his effort to help mitigate future losses for his clients.

A SHEEP proved it was the best baa none when its wool coat sold for £100,000 at the weekend.
The coat – modelled by its blackface ram lamb owner – sparked a bidding war that was won by a consortium of five farmers.
The sale was one of more than 1000 at Dalmally Auction Mart, near Oban.
John Murray, of Muirkirk, Ayrshire, placed the winning bid.
Explaining the attributes of their £100,000 purchase, John said: "It's very modern, it's got a tremendous coat, tremendous muzzle, he has a good look about him.
"A lamb like that only comes along once in a while, you don't see them like that much.
"How do you know? We are professionals, we are brought up with it."
Pointing to hill farmer Billy Renwick, from Blackhouse, in the Borders, John said: "I bought one off Billy two years ago for £90,000 and last year, I sold £120,000 of lambs off that and kept the best one.
"Buying at that price looks crazy but I have made money – but I could have bought Billy's tup and it didn't produce, it's a gamble."
Quintin Dunlop, of W Dunlop and Sons, near Dunbar, reared the £100,000 lamb. When asked if he was going to spend the cash on more sheep, he said: "Probably, yes."
He added: "I am very happy with the price, our previous best was £68,000."

From 2017 to 2019, as a hub school for the Central South Consortium (CSCJES), we provided professional learning and support to all schools looking to development the standards of Welsh and International Languages (IL) within their own organisations.
From 2018 to 2019, Mrs C. D. Williams and Miss Eaton devised a number of programmes which provided high level learning opportunities for schools and professionals to develop their use and standard of Welsh language within their own schools.
During the 2018-19 academic year, Mrs C. D. Williams and Mrs Parry developed a programme of support to assist schools in the introduction of international languages and to widen their international dimension.
Sully Primary School regularly welcomes fellow professionals to observe the good practice within our school.
Action research is an important element of this process and this is something that we are developing amongst our pupil population.

Cheek by Jowl (CbJ) is an international theatre company, which operates in-house as an Associate Company at the Barbican Centre in London. As a touring theatre company, CbJ faces the ongoing challenge of trying to capture data, to refine and target their marketing activity, in the absence of any box office information. This case study describes how strategic planning has enabled CbJ to create a model for data capture that can be used when operating as a resident company in other venues thereby helping to develop a successful marketing campaign.
As data protection continues to tighten, it is becoming increasingly difficult for touring theatre companies to obtain any data from venues – despite it being their audience who have booked the tickets and submitted their details.
CbJ tackled this by seat slipping surveys at their performances and also asking venues to send an email to all attendees, on their behalf, with a link to subscribe to their e-communications. The company then held an audience development workshop, which helped to establish next steps.
