The Radical Way Disneyland Resort Should Change The Reservation System | Cinemablend
By Dirk Libbey published 30 January 22
The Disneyland Resort reservation system should end, but if it doesn't another change needs to happen.
When Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World reopened after their respective pandemic closures, they did so with a brand-new reservations system. Due to the fact that the parks needed to significantly limit capacity in those early days, the system was necessary. While capacity has since increased, it's been made clear that the reservation system isn't going anywhere.
Unfortunately, the reservation system is a pretty big headache for many guests, which is why it needs to go, especially at Disneyland. But it seems the only way that could happen would be if the resort took a radical step. If we can't eliminate reservations, then we may need to eliminate single park tickets from Disneyland Resort.
How The Disney World And Disneyland Reservation System Works
In the before times, you bought a ticket to a Disney park, and then you used that ticket pretty much whenever you wanted. Later, tickets gained a sort of reservation element to them, as tickets had different prices on different days depending on how popular the park was on those days. But even then there was a grace period allowing you some flexibility regarding when you could go.
With the reservation system, flexibility is gone. After you buy a ticket, you need to make a reservation for a specific date, and without that reservation, you can't get in. In the case of park hopper tickets, which let you visit more than one park on the same day, you must make a reservation for the park you want to enter first, and you must go there first. Then, at a set time (2 pm at Walt Disney World and 1 pm at Disneyland Resort), you may leave and go to another park.
Disney has said that the reservation system is important because it allows them to better manage the parks. By knowing how many people will be in the resort on a given day, and where they will be, Disney can make sure that the right places are properly staffed, crowds can be better managed, and guests will be able to have an overall better experience.
There has been some anecdotal evidence that this idea of managing demand isn't really happening, or at the very least isn't working as intended. However, even if we assume the best, there are some problems; not with reservations themselves, but with what they cause. The biggest issue is with park hopping.
The Reservation System Kills Park Hopping, Especially At Disneyland
Before the reservation system, if you bought a park hopper ticket, you could move around parks as much as you wanted. You could walk into any park at Walt Disney World and immediately turn right around and leave for another. If you wanted to rope drop Space Mountain just to make sure you got on it and then head to Animal Kingdom an hour later, you could do that.
But the reservation system essentially requires a delay between initial park arrival and park hopping. If you can make a reservation at one park and then turn around and immediately go to a different park, then the reservation becomes meaningless; whatever value it's supposed to have is lost.
At Walt Disney World, there is perhaps an argument to be made that people doing this is less likely. Disney World is massive, and getting from place to place is honestly a chore. It's part of what makes park hopping there less worthwhile in general, in my opinion. Getting between Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios by Skyliner isn't bad, assuming you don't get stuck on it, but if you're traveling by bus, it's going to take awhile to get anywhere. You might as well spend some quality time in that first park; it'll be more fun than waiting for a bus.
But at Disneyland Resort, things are a little different. There are only two parks, and they're only yards away from each other. On the one hand, it's all the more reason for the reservation system and limited park hopping to exist. People absolutely would walk into one park and then turn around and go to the other if they could. But the close proximity is exactly why the limited park hopping makes no sense. It's right there.
Limiting park hopping between two parks that are so close together that they feel like one place is ridiculous. But at this point, it seems clear that the reservation system isn't going away, and if it's staying, the park hoping limitations become a necessary requirement. There is one way to make the reservation system technically work while allowing for unlimited park hopping: treat Disneyland and Disney California Adventure as a single location and make every ticket a park hopper ticket.
All Disneyland Tickets Should Be Park Hoppers
Walt Disney World is often the resort credited with the "blessing of size," and while its massive scope certainly allows for so much that will never be possible at Disneyland, there is something to be said for the California location's smaller scale. All the elements of the resort, both theme parks, three hotels and Downtown Disney are all right next to each other, making them all incredibly easy to navigate.
Jumping between the two theme parks easily is one of the great selling points of the entire resort. Without it, a great deal is lost. Having dinner at Carthay Circle at DCA before heading over to Disneyland to watch the fireworks is the point. Based on the plans Disney has presented for its proposed Disneyland Forward expansion, the parks, hotels and shopping and dining are only going to become a more cohesive environment, with each flowing into the other nearly seamlessly.
By giving all ticket holders access to both parks, we can still make the reservation system work. Disney will know how many people to expect on a given day, but those guests will have freedom to move through the resort. True, Disney doesn't know how many people will want to rope drop Galaxy's Edge compared to Avengers Campus, but Disney also doesn't know how many people are going to rope drop Space Mountain compared to Thunder Mountain. At its core, the reservation system is about linking a specific ticket sale with a specific day of attendance, and that remains intact.
There Is One Big Downside
There is, of course, a significant downside to this idea. If you thought Disneyland Resort tickets were expensive before, doing this would cause a significant jump. A single day park hopper ticket currently costs you a minimum of $164, compared to the current single park ticket which is $104. You can be sure that if single park tickets went away, those park hoppers would not be getting any cheaper.
So we're looking at more than a 50% increase in the baseline ticket cost. That's not a benefit to anybody's wallet, but odds are a lot of people are spending that money already. And when you built that cost in to a Disneyland vacation, it becomes manageable. The per day cost of a ticket drops significantly when you go multiple days, and most people do.
Of course, if I had all the control in the world, I would simply eliminate the reservation system entirely and return tickets and park hopping to the way it used to be. That's the perfect solution, but since it doesn't seem likely to happen, this may be a better choice than what we have now. At Walt Disney World single park tickets make sense, but at Disneyland Resort, park hopping is a way of life and it needs to return.

The Group delivered another strong set of results in the first half of the year, with key financial measures at record levels. The Vision 2020: Focused Growth Strategy continued to deliver substantially improved profits and cash generation, which benefited from BPI, ESE and Letica, the larger acquisitions in 2016/17. The integration activities of Promens, GCS and BPI are largely complete and the synergy realisation continues. The focus during the first half of the year has been on growing the existing businesses and exploiting opportunities provided by the recent acquisitions of Letica in North America and Astrapak in South Africa.
Revenues in the first half of the year grew by 53% to £1,876m, with strong growth in both packaging and non-packaging products. This was driven by the contribution from acquisitions announced or completed in the previous financial year, underlying organic growth of c.2%, polymer price tailwinds and translation benefits from foreign exchange movements. At constant exchange rates reported revenues grew by 45%.
Group margins and profitability levels, both before and after exceptional items, improved significantly compared with last year due to the contribution of acquisitions, the realisation of synergies, organic growth, lower exceptional costs and a foreign exchange benefit from the further weakening of sterling against the major currencies, which more than offset a modest polymer headwind. Adjusted EBITDA grew 49% to £296.1m and adjusted operating profit increased 58% to £214.7m. At constant exchange rates adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating profit grew by 40% and 47% respectively, while return on sales increased 30 basis points (bps) to 11.4% or 20 bps on a constant currency basis.
Benefiting from synergy realisation and improved profitability, RONOA (return on net operating assets) expanded 320 bps to 28.0% and ROCE, at 15.1%, grew 30 bps compared with the same period last year and remains well ahead of the Group's weighted average cost of capital. Exceptional costs were significantly lower at £6.5m (2016: £32.7m) including the receipt of £11.0m for an insurance claim, reflecting the nearing of completion of the acquisition integration programmes. Statutory profit before tax grew by 129% on the same period last year to £166.2m.
Investment in growth and efficiency projects continued, with capital expenditure of £109.1m (2016: £80.5m) in the period of which c.50% was spent on growth projects. The Group saw excellent cash flow development in the first half reflecting the positive contribution of the recent acquisitions, synergy realisation and lower exceptional costs. Statutory net cash from operating activities was up 62% to £245.4m, and free cash flow up 45% to £171.7m. Adjusted cash conversion remains strong at 99% (2016: 107%). Working capital as a percentage of sales improved to 5.5% (2016: 6.1%). The Group retains a strong balance sheet with net debt of £1,070m (March 2017: £1,049m) representing a pro forma 1.8x EBITDA multiple (March 2017:1.8x). Total finance facilities of £2,227m were available as at 30 September 2017.
The plastic packaging market
The global plastic packaging market is forecast to grow at an annual average rate of 3.7% over the next five years (source: Smithers Pira 2017), outpacing growth in other packaging materials and, at $288bn, accounting for 34.5% of the global packaging market. This superior growth rate is benefiting from numerous structural growth drivers including a rising and ageing population, an increasing number of smaller and single person households in developed economies, busier lifestyles and demand for convenience packaging, increasing income in emerging markets and the growing importance of lightweighting, sustainability and the circular economy. By geography Asia is expected to continue to lead the growth in plastic packaging, with forecast average annual growth of 5% in each of the next five years compared with forecast average annual rates of 2.8% and 2.0% for Europe and North America respectively.
RPC Group is well placed to benefit from these structural growth drivers and, by operating in a large number of product and market niches, is able to benefit from a 'portfolio' effect when macro and market conditions change with growth in certain regions and sectors offsetting any slowdown in others.
Against this backdrop, the Group continues to deliver its Vision 2020: Focused Growth Strategy, which comprises:
· Continued organic growth based on innovation
· Selective consolidation of the European market through targeted acquisitions
· Creating a meaningful presence outside Europe, where growth rates are considerably higher
· Pursuing added value opportunities in non-packaging markets.
In the first half of the year the Group focused on delivering the announced synergy realisation programme, demonstrating the contribution of the newly acquired businesses while continuing to drive organic growth, margin improvement, return on capital and cash flow generation.
Organic growth was c.2% over the period and benefited from improved activity levels in both Packaging and Non-packaging, although this was tempered by certain adverse natural events and fewer trading days. By end-market Food and Personal Care packaging and Technical Components were notably strong. By geography Europe traded well and organic growth of 23% in China was particularly impressive, while trading in the US was mixed and included a headwind from the hurricanes later in the period. As a result of the latter Letica organic growth was negative in the first half of the year; positive organic growth at Letica has returned to date during Q3.
Investment in innovation and growth for both product design and process engineering continues to drive a healthy pipeline and the Group remains confident of continuing to grow through the cycle ahead of GDP. Over 50% of the £109m capital expenditure made in the period was attributable to growth-related projects, such as new sports cap lines, further capacity at the Zhuhai electroplating operation (China) and a new coffee capsule line at Bebo Plastik (Germany). During the period good progress was made in marketing WaveGrip, a patented multipack beverage solution, supported by collaboration between RPC bpi group and Letica.
Following the completion of the Astrapak acquisition the Group now has 32 design centres of excellence worldwide, and further investment opportunities for growth through the development of innovative products are being targeted.
In more commoditised market segments organic growth is driven by the Group's margin enhancement strategy, which seeks to drive both profitability and cash generation by price discipline while maximising production utilisation and efficiency.
The scale of the opportunity to consolidate the European markets remains significant and participation in this industry consolidation is a core part of the Group's long term growth strategy. However, while the Group continues to be well-placed to capitalise on this opportunity, during the period the Group announced that it did not anticipate making any significant acquisitions or incurring further acquisition-related exceptional costs for the current financial year over and above those it had already announced. Instead it focused on enhancing the performance of the 2016/17 acquired businesses and completing the related restructuring activities of the major previous year acquisitions, including Promens, GCS and BPI. The Sanders Polyfilm (flexibles), Jagtenberg (industrial containers) and Plastiape (pharmaceuticals) businesses had already been fully integrated into the RPC bpi group, RPC Promens and RPC Bramlage divisions respectively by the end of the 2016/17 financial year. These are all performing well and are improving profitability through the benefit of polymer purchasing synergies and by enhancing the trading position of the divisions that have integrated them.
The Group has continued to increase its global footprint through organic growth and through the completion of the Astrapak acquisition in June 2017. Astrapak is a leading South African manufacturer of rigid plastic packaging products and components with a broad product offering across injection moulding, blow moulding and thermoforming technology platforms. The commitment to acquire the business was announced in December 2016. The company is a 'mini-RPC' serving customers in sub-Saharan Africa with industrial and consumer products. Its manufacturing footprint comprises nine facilities in South Africa, employing approximately 1,500 people and for the year ended 28 February 2016 the company achieved revenues of ZAR 1.4 billion (£80m). The acquisition provided RPC with a strategic opportunity to acquire a rigid plastic packaging group of scale, with well-established market positions in a new territory with attractive medium to long-term growth prospects. The business has already been integrated into the Group by the RPC Superfos division and, although the recent softening of the South African economy has tempered the growth of the business in the short-term, further opportunities to develop and grow the business using technology and market contacts within the RPC Group have already been identified.
Overall, revenue outside of Europe increased by 129% to £398.6m compared with the same period last year with Letica and Ace key contributors, and now represents 21% of total sales. On a constant currency basis revenue outside of Europe increased by 115%.
Pursuing added value opportunities in non-packaging markets
Further progress has been made in expanding the Group's propositions in non-packaging markets, where the focus is on niche products and markets where higher added value products deliver strong returns, and the Group's scale in polymer purchasing creates further competitive advantage. Good growth has been achieved in China, where the Ace business is benefiting from new and existing contracts with vehicle manufacturers and the rebuild and upgrade of the Zhuhai manufacturing plant.
Elsewhere the Strata Products acquisition and the materials handling and specialty vehicles businesses, acquired through the Promens acquisition, continue to perform well under RPC's ownership. ESE World, which was acquired in January 2017 and is a leading design and engineering company in temporary waste storage solutions, was a material contributor to the segment.
Overall, revenue in the Non-packaging segment increased 67% to £284.2m, including organic growth of 3%, and adjusted operating profit grew by 36%. On a constant currency basis revenue grew by 56%.
RPC has a proven track record of successfully and efficiently combining organisations following acquisition, with good integration capability across the organisation and the ability to retain the best of acquired businesses. Corporate functions are aligned through the head office team, with strengthened and enhanced governance, tax, IT, treasury, legal, management and financial reporting. Group purchasing performs a coordinating role and is active in extracting purchasing synergies and in strengthening internal resources post acquisition. From an operational perspective, key management are retained and business strategy enhanced by providing, as a member of the RPC Group, access to a wider product range and customer base. Where the business operates in an adjacent sector, it forms a new strategic business unit (SBU) in one of the seven divisions; if in an overlapping business it is integrated into one or more of the existing SBUs. Typically organisational integration will be completed within six months of acquisition completion, with the realisation of related synergies, including restructuring activities, to integrate both acquired businesses and existing RPC sites taking longer to occur.
Recent larger acquisitions have included Letica in the USA (March 2017), BPI (August 2016) and GCS (March 2016). The BPI and GCS businesses were European based, and together with the Promens acquisition (February 2015), their integration into the Group formed part of a synergy realisation programme which is nearing completion.
As a well-established and independent business, the integration effort required for Letica has been relatively minimal. Cost savings and synergies are in progress and are still expected at c. $17m per annum realised over two years. Operating as a standalone business within the RPC Superfos division, the existing Letica management have been retained and are incentivised to deliver growth and additional cost savings through a two year earn-out structure.
Promens, GCS and BPI
Promens, GCS and BPI were individually significant acquisitions, providing combined sales of c.€1,725m and 82 manufacturing sites to the Group within a 30 month period. The businesses required varying degrees of integration effort to maximise synergy realisation. This was achieved through a combination of purchasing savings, elimination of cost duplication, business optimisation initiatives and the rationalisation of operations with existing facilities. It also resulted in the creation of two new divisions and 11 SBUs, transforming the operational capacity of the Group.
This European acquisition integration programme is now coming to an end and over this period 22 locations will have been closed, including four head offices and two operations in progress for closure when acquired, and over 300 production lines relocated to other businesses.
The final phase of the Promens integration plan is nearing completion. As planned, during the period the French site restructurings at La Roche, Geovreisset and Marolles were completed and the already announced Nordic restructuring, resulting in the closure of Bjaeverskov (Denmark), commenced. The consolidation of the Manuplastics (UK) operation into the M&H facilities at the former Promens site at Ellough was confirmed in November 2017 and the related costs and sale proceeds of the manufacturing site are expected in the second half of the year, as planned.
The integration of the GCS acquisition into the Bramlage and M&H divisions was completed during 2016/17, with related restructuring activities already announced spilling over into the current financial year. These comprised the closure of the Torres site in Spain, the restructuring of the US business at Libertyville, the closure of the Halstead business in the UK with redistribution of business to other RPC sites and the majority of the outstanding costs relating to the Paris head office closure.
BPI operates as a standalone division. During the period the final post acquisition optimisation of the manufacturing footprint was completed, with site closures at Sevenoaks and Portadown executed and additional restructuring at the Worcester site well advanced.
All remaining elements of these integration programmes will be substantially complete by 31 March 2018.
Acquisition related cost synergies
The cost of the combined Promens, GCS, BPI integration programmes were estimated at €190m at March 2017, however these are now expected to be €185m with cash costs, previously estimated at €120m, now expected to reduce to €110m. The total steady state benefits associated with the overall optimisation of the cost base remain at least €105m per annum. During the period total programme costs, which were charged to exceptional integration and restructuring costs, amounted to £10.3m. As expected, steady state cumulative benefits increased to €84m per annum during the half year.
Change constant exchange
The Packaging business serves diverse end-markets with innovative packaging solutions, both in rigid form and flexibles, through a range of plastic conversion processes including injection moulding, blow moulding, thermoforming and blown film extrusion. Sales grew 51% to £1,591.5m (43% on a constant currency basis) and, after taking account of acquisitions (net of disposed business) which contributed a net £447m of sales (including increases of £24m on foreign exchange and £9m for polymer pricing level impact), foreign exchange translation impacts of £53m and polymer price increases of £17m, grew by c.1% on a like-for-like basis. Adjusted operating profit increased by 63% to £177.5m (52% on a constant currency basis) and on a like-for-like basis increased by 28% reflecting the impact of cost reductions through integration activities and mix improvements through a selective margin enhancement strategy. Return on sales and RONOA all showed further improvement reflecting the above.
The strongest growth rates were in the Food and Personal Care packaging end-markets, with new product development and geographical expansion supporting this growth. Non-food packaging saw modest growth and Beverage and Healthcare sales remained relatively flat during the period.
H1 2017/18 £m
The market for food packaging continues to be driven by shelf-life enhancing solutions, the need for portion control and minimising food waste. Food packaging sales grew with the development of innovative packaging solutions for convenience foods. There was good growth in Agricultural films, Dairy products and also in Confectionery with major new contracts won. Demand for Spreads, in which RPC has a strong market position, showed some further decline, but improvement is expected as the price of substitutes (butter) increases.
There has been growth in industrial packaging across all divisions with specific focus on margin enhancement rather than volume growth. New bespoke packaging and nicotine delivery systems for the Tobacco sector have offset ongoing market softness in surface coatings where demand in the UK and the USA was relatively soft.
Sales of Personal Care products (including cosmetics) improved during the period, with contract wins in Europe and increased sales in China. Globalisation and innovation continue to drive demand, with good growth opportunities existing in Asia and North America.
Beverage sales overall were flat. There was good growth in closures including an increase in sports caps sales, growth from new lightweighted caps (CSD lite) developed for a major multinational and growth in wines and spirits tamper proof closures. These offset lower sales in single serve coffee capsules which have slowed due to the impact of customer dual sourcing in Europe and demand in the USA levelling off as their market matures. However, overall demand for single serve beverage systems is expected to continue in other markets and with other products. The Group is already developing growth opportunities in this area, including patented flexibles solutions (such as WaveGrip) and new closure projects.
Sales in inhaler and medical devices were static over the period with new product launches later than envisaged. The creation of the new Pharmaceutical cluster following the acquisition of Plastiape in 2016, has provided a greater focus on higher added value products, enhancing returns on sales. The increase in capacity means RPC is well positioned to grow this business.
In addition there was a further £69m of Technical Component sales (mostly moulds) by businesses which are reported in the Packaging segment.
The rigid plastic packaging market is forecast to grow at above GDP over the next five years which will continue to present opportunities for the Packaging business to continue to grow organically both inside and outside Europe, through innovation and continuing to launch turnkey projects from its extended platforms in the Americas, the Far East and now sub-Saharan Africa.
The Non-packaging businesses of the Group cover many different product and market combinations which are all linked by innovation, application of technical knowledge and consumption of polymer and comprise the RPC Ace division together with RPC Promens Roto, Strata Products, ESE and RPC Bramlage Vehicles SBUs. Non-packaging sales grew by 67% (56% on a constant currency basis). Acquisitions, largely ESE, which was acquired in January 2017, contributed a net £93m to sales (including a £6m increase on foreign exchange). After taking account of further foreign exchange translation gains of £12m, sales on a like-for-like basis increased by c.3%. Adjusted operating profit increased 36%, or 29% on a constant currency basis, with the return on sales decline reflecting the change in sales mix following the ESE acquisition and start-up costs associated with new contract awards in the Ace division and Bramlage Vehicles. On a like-for-like basis adjusted operating profit grew by 4%.
The RPC Ace division, based in China, operates a world class mould design and manufacturing capability, supplying complex moulds to both internal and external customers. It provides the Group with an Asian precision engineering platform for manufacturing high added value co-engineered injection moulded products and serves, alongside packaging markets, medical, lifestyle, power and automotive end-markets. With Chinese GDP increasing in excess of 6.5%, the business continues to grow at an attractive rate and is benefiting from existing and new contracts with major vehicle manufacturers and mould tool sales, which continue to concentrate on complex and technologically advanced tool designs. Elsewhere, new contracts for Lifestyle products were secured and, following the recent rebuild and upgrade, a fourth electroplating line is being considered for the Zhuhai site, facilitating further growth in sales of electroplating and spray painting for specialist automotive and other products.
RPC Promens Roto and RPC Bramlage Vehicles, which manufacture plastic parts for trucks and specialty vehicles from sites in the Netherlands, France, Estonia, Germany and the Czech Republic, continue to perform well with sales volumes and profits generally increasing over the period, but with some operations suffering higher costs in adapting to the higher activity levels. Optimisation programmes as part of the integration process were finalised during the period.
RPC Promens Roto business, which includes Sæplast serving the fish and agricultural industries, continued to trade well as it refocuses on the European and American markets, but were slightly lower than last year. Strata Products continued to trade well, and ESE, acquired in January 2017, was a material contributor to this segment.
These non-packaging products are attributed to the Technical Components end-market, with sales of £69m from the Packaging segment also being reported in this end-market. The latter comprised mainly mould sales which are typically project based and were lower compared with the previous year, reducing the overall growth of Technical Components to 1%.
RPC has three main non-financial key performance indicators, which provide perspectives on employee welfare and the Group's progress in improving its contribution to the environment.
The Group's health & safety performance continued to improve as the reportable accident frequency rate decreased compared with last year following continued focus on health & safety across the Group.
The Group continues to make stringent efforts to improve its efficient usage of electricity and water. The significant improvement across the Group reflects the impact of including the BPI businesses in the reported figures for the period to 30 September 2017, as the utilisation of both electricity and water in relation to polymer tonnes converted is considerably lower due to the nature of the blown film extrusion process. Excluding the impact of BPI, electricity usage per tonne increased slightly but water usage reduced as recycling initiatives, including closed loop cooling systems introduced to manufacturing sites across the Group, continue.
Trading was encouraging in the first half with record profitability levels and strong cash generation. The rationalisation of our European manufacturing footprint with 22 locations closing is now nearing completion with the benefits being realised as anticipated. The Letica integration is going well with the expected cost savings on track. Looking forward, the Group continues to target innovation based growth leveraging its global footprint and will participate in the ongoing consolidation of the plastic packaging markets, albeit with no significant acquisitions anticipated in the remainder of this financial year. The second half of the year has started well.
The Group produced a strong set of financial results for the first half of 2017/18, with growth in the business achieved both organically and through acquisitions. Group revenues at £1,876m were 53% ahead of the same period last year, adjusted operating profit at £214.7m rose by 58% and free cash flow increased by 45% to £171.7m. Statutory operating profit at £182.3m was 98% ahead of last year and statutory net cash from operating activities at £245.4m increased by 62%.
On 19 June 2017 the Group completed the acquisition of Astrapak for a cash consideration of £65.7m, funded from existing financing facilities. The provisional goodwill on acquisition amounted to £26.6m after fair value adjustments and the trading results of the business after the acquisition date are included in the Group results.
Transaction fees and integration costs of acquisitions are charged to the income statement as Exceptional costs.
Sales in the first half of 2017/18 increased by 53% (45% on a constant currency basis) to £1,875.7m (2016: £1,226.1m). The acquisition referred to above and the full year impact of the acquisitions made in 2016/17 after taking account of disposed business, net of polymer pass through and foreign exchange impacts, contributed £540m of this increase in sales. After taking account of £65m of foreign currency translation effects (mainly the euro which strengthened from €1.22 to €1.14) and the impact of net sales price increases from rising polymer prices passed on to customers of £17m, sales grew by £28m representing c.2% on an organic basis.
Adjusted operating profit (before restructuring costs, impairment and other exceptional and non-underlying items) increased by 58% (47% on a constant currency basis) to £214.7m (2016: £136.3m), with net acquisitions contributing £49m of prior year profit to this increase. The net favourable translation impact of the weakened pound gave a gain of £10m, partially offset by a polymer price headwind variance having an adverse effect of £1m. The Promens/GCS/BPI integration programme and Letica synergies to date contributed an additional £13m. The remaining £29m improvement was generated from the impact of volume, margin and general business improvements and the Group's ability to align contractual terms, offset by inflationary cost increases experienced throughout the Group, estimated at £21m. Return on sales rose from 11.1% to 11.4% as a consequence of these improvements.
Statutory operating profit at £182.3m was 98% higher than the previous year and is stated after the net exceptional costs and non-underlying items described in more detail below.
Sterling continued to weaken against the major currencies, mainly due to the continued uncertainty of the timing and conditions of Brexit. This had a positive impact on the financial results of the Group on translation as 76% of sales revenues are reported in non-sterling currencies. The impact of this was to increase adjusted operating profit by £13m, adjusted EPS by 2.4p and net assets by £4.5m. The major currency movements which impact the results were:
Average to £
Closing to £
Impact of Polymer prices
Polymer resin is a major raw material cost for the business, representing around one third of adjusted costs in the year. As a global commodity its price can vary with supply and demand, and as is typical in the industry, RPC has arrangements with its customers to pass on polymer price changes and hedge against price volatility. These changes are passed on through multiple methods, many of which are contractual and can be triggered based on absolute, relative or time based mechanisms. Where no contract exists, prices can often be changed at short notice. As there is a time lag in passing on price adjustments to the customer, typically around 3 months, this can have a negative or positive impact on operating profit depending on whether prices are increasing or reducing. During the first half polymer prices were relatively stable overall, with modest increases in Euro & GBP at the end of the period. Larger increases were encountered in the USA at the end of the period due to the disruptive effect of hurricanes on the supply chain.
The financial review of the business above focuses on underlying business performance, which excludes exceptional and other non-underlying items. The separate reporting of exceptional and non-underlying items helps facilitate comparison with prior periods and assess trends in financial performance which are not impacted by one-off costs or credits which are exceptional or derive from non-recurring events.
Exceptional items are 'one-time' costs or credits which include acquisition costs, costs of business integration and investments to extract synergies, restructuring and closure costs including related asset impairments and losses during the closure period, gains or losses on the disposal of businesses and property, remuneration charged on deferred consideration and one-off tax items arising, and any other gains or losses which, in the management's judgement, because of their nature, size or infrequency, could distort an assessment of underlying business performance.
Other non-underlying items include the amortisation of acquired intangible assets, the fair value changes of unhedged derivatives and the unwinding of the discount on deferred and contingent consideration, including related tax and foreign exchange impacts.
Exceptional and other non-underlying items for the year charged against operating profit amounted to £32.4m (2016: £44.1m). These are mostly the result of acquisitions and can be broken down into a number of categories.
Acquisition, integration and restructuring related costs amounted to £16.3m (2016: £27.7m) which were considerably lower than in the same period last year, and also significantly lower than in the second half of last year.
Acquisition transaction costs of £2.1m are the direct external costs associated with making an acquisition. They are primarily financial, legal, tax, environmental, anti-bribery and corruption due diligence plus representation and warranty insurance and other advisor fees. These are substantially lower than last year due to low acquisition activity levels.
Integration costs of £10.3m (2016: £20.4m) are the one-time costs incurred to deliver synergies from the acquired businesses. The Group substantially completed the integration of the Promens sites during the year, and the total cost of the combined GCS, BPI and Promens integration programmes are now estimated at €185m with associated cash costs also expected to be lower at €110m. The benefits associated with the overall optimisation of the cost base are still projected to be at least €105m. Cumulative project costs were £140.1m at the end of the period, and were £10.3m in the period reflecting the lower level of integration activity as the programme comes to its conclusion. Additional benefits arising in the period amounted to £13m. In addition there were other acquisition, restructuring and closure costs of £3.9m which were not part of the Promens, GCS and BPI programme.
Remuneration and deferred consideration charges amounted to a net £1.1m (2016: £3.8m). These arise where an earn-out is part of an acquisition and the selling owner / management are retained within the business or there is a change in the expected level of payment. During the period, there was a remuneration charge of £12.6m and a credit of £11.5m, the latter primarily driven by the assumed payout in relation to the acquisition of Ace being lowered from 50% to 40%. The Ace arrangement is a four year earn-out which requires a four year EBITDA compound annual growth rate of 15.6% to payout in full. Experience indicates it is unlikely to be paid in full at the current accrual rate. In addition the Letica earn-out percentage was adjusted to 40%, reflecting the expected business performance that will be delivered over the two year earn-out period.
Insurance proceeds relating to the replacement of capital equipment amounted to £11.0m. These were confirmed and received in the period and relate to the fire that occurred at the RPC Promens site at Eke, Belgium, in December 2016. As a consequence of this one-off event, these have been reported as exceptional income.
The other non-underlying items fall into three categories.
Amortisation of acquired intangibles arises as a consequence of acquisition accounting, as on acquisition all assets and liabilities, tangible and intangible, are revalued at fair value, with the relevant amount of consideration paid for the business allocated to each asset. Intangibles take the form of intellectual property, brands, know-how and customer contacts. RPC amortises these amounts over 5-10 years. This charge for the period ended September 2017 was £25.3m (2016: £11.0m).
Non-underlying finance costs include interest associated with closed defined benefit pension funds of £2.8m (2016: £2.1m) and implied interest on deferred and contingent consideration associated with earn-outs, including exchange impacts being a credit of £1.9m (2016: debit £6.8m).
The tax effect of the above adjustments are also taken into account.
Net financing costs at £16.6m were lower than the prior year (2016: £20.0m), due to the increase in net interest payable on borrowings of £16.0m (2016: £11.1m), which increased over the period due to the acquisitions made, more than offset by a decrease in non-underlying finance costs as indicated above.
Adjusted profit before tax increased from £125.5m to £199.2m mainly as a result of the improvement in adjusted operating profit.
The effective tax rate on underlying activities for the Group is affected by the geographic mix of profits and the tax rates of the territories in which the Group operates. Other factors which can impact the effective tax rate include: assessment and recognition of deferred tax on losses, provisions for uncertain tax positions, local tax incentives (including research and development tax credits), tax reforms as well as foreign exchange movements.
The tax rate on the adjusted profit before tax for the Group increased to 24.5% (2016: 23.5%) for the period due to acquisitions in higher tax rate territories. This resulted in an adjusted profit after tax of £150.4m (2016: £96.0m) and the adjusted basic earnings per share was 36.4p (2016 restated: 28.6p).
The Group's overall taxation charge was £44.1m (2016: £21.5m) resulting in a reported tax rate of 26.5% (2016: 29.7%), reflecting an adjusted effective rate of tax of 24.5% (2016: 23.5%) and a 14.2% tax credit (2016: 15.1%) on exceptional and non-underlying charges, as tax relief is not available on a proportion of these costs.
Reported profit after tax was £122.1m (2016: £51.0m), an increase of 139% on the previous year. This led to a basic earnings per share of 29.5p (2016 restated: 15.2p), nearly doubling the performance in the prior year.
In line with the Group's progressive dividend policy of targeting a dividend cover of 2.5x adjusted earnings through the cycle, an interim dividend of 7.8p (2016 restated: 6.1p) has been recommended, which is a 28% increase on the previous year.
All prior year earnings and dividend per share figures have been restated to reflect the bonus element of the rights issue in the prior year.
The balance sheet of the Group was strengthened by the acquisition made in the period. Goodwill increased by £23.3m as a consequence of the acquisition and after taking account of exchange impacts. Other intangible assets decreased by net £28.9m and comprises mainly customer relationships, technology and brands capitalised on acquisition and new product development expenditure, net of amortisation charges.
Property, plant and equipment increased by £62.8m; capital additions were £107.6m, which was £28.2m (26%) ahead of depreciation charged in the period, due to continued investment.
The £30.2m (March 2017: £37.0m) of derivative financial instruments largely comprise the mark-to-market value of euro currency swaps taken out in 2011 to hedge the US dollar borrowings from the US Private Placement (USPP). The weakening of the euro against the US dollar has served to decrease the value of these in the year.
Working capital (the sum of inventories, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables) was £207.7m, which was 5.5% of sales (annualised) compared with £220.3m at the year end, 6.2% of sales.
The Group had a net deferred tax liability of £123.2m (March 2017 restated: £116.7m). Deferred tax assets of £114.0m (March 2017 restated: £116.5m) represent the future tax benefit from settling net pension liabilities, the recognition of tax losses and other temporary differences which are expected to offset tax due on future income streams. The deferred tax liabilities of £237.2m (March 2017 restated: £233.2m) relate in the main to fixed asset and intangible asset temporary differences. The net current tax liability increased from £39.3m to £53.8m as a result of current year tax charges on profits and tax liabilities from acquisitions which were offset by payments made to tax authorities in the period. Included in the current tax liabilities are uncertain tax provisions, which although individually are not material in amount, represent a number of tax risks across a variety of jurisdictions including liabilities inherited on recent acquisitions. There were no significant movements in these during the period.
The long-term employee benefit liabilities reduced from £256.0m at the prior year end to £240.7m, mainly due to actuarial gains of £13.6m primarily due to higher discount rates on retired benefit obligations.
Total provisions and other liabilities decreased to £84.5m (March 2017: £112.9m), with the provisions arising on acquisition in the period offset by utilisations. The utilisations include out of market contract provisions from acquired businesses committed prior to acquisition, which are generally utilised within 18 months of the acquisition date.
Capital and reserves increased in the period by £42.3m, with the net profit for the period of £122.1m, the favourable exchange movements on translation, net share issues, pension related net actuarial gains and share-based payments from employee share schemes being offset by dividends paid of £73.9m and unfavourable net fair value movements on derivatives. Further details are shown in the Consolidated statement of changes in equity which is included in the financial statements.
Cash flow performance was strong with free cash flow at £171.7m, 45% ahead of last year (2016: £118.2m). Net cash from operating activities (after tax and interest on a statutory basis) was £245.4m compared with £151.2m for the same period in 2016, with higher cash generated from operations (after exceptional cash flows) of £285.9m, mainly due to the higher EBITDA. Working capital inflows of £25.4m benefited from seasonality in agricultural businesses and a continued focus on working capital management. This performance also includes further capital investments which were £29.7m ahead of depreciation for the year.
Net debt, which includes the fair value of the cross currency swaps that will be used to repay the USPP funding, increased by £21.3m and at the end of the period stood at £1,070.4m (March 2017: £1,049.1m). Net cash from operating activities, which is after interest and tax payments of £40.5m (2016: £27.8m), was utilised for, among other things, acquisitions in the year of £77.8m (including debt acquired of £12.1m), purchasing property, plant and equipment of £109.1m, and for paying dividends of £73.9m. Included in net cash from operating activities (and excluded from free cash flow) were net payments of £8.5m relating to exceptional and non-underlying cash outflows, non-underlying cash provision movements of £16.7m, exchange rate movements of £17.3m and other movements in provisions and financial instruments of £21.0m. In addition, £12.4m was used to fund share buybacks in the period.
Gearing remained at 57% (March 2017: 57%) and reported pro forma leverage (net debt to EBITDA ratio) was 1.8. The average net debt during the period was £1,189m (year ended March 2017: £934m).
To drive shareholder value, RPC has a capital allocation framework that takes account of investment in product innovation, organic growth initiatives, selective strategic and bolt-on acquisitions and returns to shareholders underpinned by a strong balance sheet.
The Group has a progressive dividend policy of targeting a dividend cover of two and half times adjusted earnings through the cycle and is in its 25th year of consecutive dividend growth. In addition RPC continually assesses share buyback opportunities in the context of the Group's overall financial position and leverage guidance, and other available opportunities to deploy capital.
On 19 July 2017 the Group announced an inaugural share buyback programme of up to £100m over a period of up to 12 months, as the then share price undervalued the Group's performance and future prospects. By the end of the half year 1.38m shares had been acquired under the programme for a total consideration of £12.4m, and as at 24 November 2017 this had increased to 2.26m shares for a total consideration of £20.5m.
As at 30 September 2017 the Group had total finance facilities of £2,227m with an amount of £1,077m undrawn after taking account of bank guarantees and other adjustments. The facilities are mainly unsecured and comprise revolving credit facilities (RCFs) of up to £870m with eight banks maturing in 2020 and €450m with five banks maturing in 2019, USPP notes of $216m and €60m issued to 17 US life assurance companies maturing in 2018 and 2021, a term loan of $750m with seven banks maturing in 2018 (with the option to extend to 2020), mortgages of £13m, finance leases of £23m and other uncommitted credit and overdraft arrangements.
The Group does not actively use asset based finance or factoring arrangements as a means of raising additional finance. The USPP notes noted above were a debut issue raised in the USPP market in 2011, providing the Group with seven year and ten year dated borrowings. The Group has a NAIC-2 credit rating by the US National Association of Insurance Commissioners.
Adjusted operating cash flow conversion5
1 RONOA is adjusted operating profit for continuing operations (annualised for half year reporting) divided by the average of opening and closing property, plant and equipment and working capital for the period concerned. Comparatives restated to include all acquisitions on a pro forma basis.
2 ROS is adjusted operating profit divided by sales revenue.
3 Free cash flow is cash generated from operations less net capital expenditure, net interest and tax, adjusted to exclude exceptional cash flows and non-underlying cash provision movements.
4 ROCE is adjusted operating profit for continuing operations (annualised for half year reporting), divided by the average of opening and closing shareholders' equity, after adjusting for net retirement benefit obligations, assets held for sale, acquisition intangibles and net borrowings for the period concerned.
5 Adjusted operating cash flow conversion is the ratio of free cash flow before interest and tax paid, to adjusted operating profit.
The key measures of the Group's financial performance are its return on net operating assets (RONOA) and return on sales (ROS). The de-minimis hurdles agreed by the Board are for the Group to exceed 20% RONOA and 8% ROS. ROCE is targeted to remain well above the Group's weighted average cost of capital. Free cash flow increased by 45% reflecting the impact of recent acquisitions, synergy realisation and lower exceptional costs.

RPC is subject to a number of risks, both external and internal, some of which could have a serious impact on the performance of its business. These include polymer price volatility and availability, mitigated by the pass through of price changes to customers and reducing dependence on a few suppliers; dependency on key customers, reduced by joint investment in product and technological development; integration and the achievement of acquisition synergies, managed by the development of integration programmes using divisional resources; and business interruption and the loss of essential supplies, mitigated by ensuring alternative sources of supply are available, the capability of manufacturing from other sites where loss of supply is localised, and maintenance of protocols and procedures to ensure business continuity should a major incident occur.
The Board regularly considers the principal risks that the Group faces and how to reduce their potential impact. The key risks to which the Group is exposed have not changed significantly over the first half of the financial year. Further information concerning the principal risks faced by the Group can be found in the Group's annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2017.
The Group has considerable financial resources together with long-standing commercial arrangements with a number of customers, suppliers and funding providers across different geographical regions. It had total finance facilities of £2,227m at 30 September 2017 with an amount of £1,077m undrawn after taking account of bank guarantees and other adjustments, and comprises mainly committed facilities with tenures ranging from 2018 to 2021. The Group's forecasts and projections show that it is able to operate within the level of its current external funding facilities and that it has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the going concern basis has been adopted in preparing the financial statements.
On 7 September 2017 Kevin Thompson was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company as a Non‐Executive Director. Kevin is Group Finance Director of Halma plc having qualified as a Chartered Accountant with PricewaterhouseCoopers. Halma is a decentralised, FTSE 250 manufacturing and technology business that has an established track record of delivering strong growth over the long‐term both organically and through acquisitions. The company has significant operations in the UK, Mainland Europe, the USA and Asia.
Having joined the Company as an independent Director in 2009, Martin Towers will resign from the Board in 2018, and Kevin will take over Martin's responsibility as Chairman of the Audit Committee in January next year.
As indicated at the AGM announcement, to further align incentives with the Group's strategy the Remuneration Committee has progressed a review of the performance measures and targets used under both the annual bonus and long-term incentive plan. This will include further emphasis on returns on capital and cash flow generation. The Committee will consult with shareholders as part of this process ahead of the AGM in 2018.
The Board has declared an interim dividend of 7.8p per share (2016 restated: 6.1p), an increase of 28% on the previous interim dividend, and is in line with the Group's progressive dividend policy which has been in place since RPC's flotation in 1993. This will be paid on 26 January 2018 to ordinary shareholders on the register at 29 December 2017.
INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO RPC GROUP PLC
We have reviewed RPC Group Plc's condensed consolidated half year financial statements (the "interim financial statements") in the half year financial report of RPC Group Plc for the 6 month period ended 30 September 2017. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
What a review of interim set of financial statements involves
a) The maintenance and integrity of the RPC Group Plc website is the responsibility of the directors; the work carried out by the auditors does not involve consideration of these matters and, accordingly, the auditors accept no responsibility for any changes that may have occurred to the interim financial statements since they were initially presented on the website.

The comparative figures for the financial year ended 31 March 2017 are not the Group's statutory accounts for that financial year. Those accounts have been reported on by the Group's auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditor was (i) unqualified, (ii) did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditor drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report, and (iii) did not contain a statement under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006. The Group's statutory accounts for the year ended 31 March 2017 are available from the Company's registered office, at Sapphire House, Crown Way, Rushden, Northants NN10 6FB or from the Group's website at www.rpc-group.com.
The condensed consolidated half year financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the EU and in accordance with the Disclosure guidance and transparency rules sourcebook of the UK's Financial Conduct Authority. They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2017.
The accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation used in this condensed set of financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Group's latest annual audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017.
In the preparation of the interim management report, comparative amounts have been restated to reflect the following:
· The provisional GCS and JP Plast acquisition accounting was finalised at 31 March 2017 and hindsight adjustments made to goodwill, provisions, current and deferred tax, accounts receivable and property, plant and equipment. These have been adjusted in the 30 September 2016 balance sheet.
· The provisional BPI acquisition accounting has been finalised and hindsight adjustments made to goodwill, provisions, deferred tax, accounts receivable and intangible assets. These have been adjusted in the 31 March 2017 and 30 September 2016 balance sheets.
· Earnings per share for the period to 30 September 2016 has been restated to reflect the rights issue on 27 February 2017.
· Current tax receivables of £0.9m have been separately disclosed in the 30 September 2016 balance sheet which were previously netted off current tax liabilities.
In preparing these condensed financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2017.
The IASB has issued a number of new standards which are not yet effective. They do not have an effect on the financial information contained in this report and will be more fully discussed in our annual report for the year ended 31 March 2018.
IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. It will therefore be effective in the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2019.
IFRS 9 replaces IAS 39 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. In doing so it addresses the classification, measurement and de-recognition of financial assets and liabilities, introduces new rules for hedge accounting and a new impairment model for financial assets.
A detailed assessment of the impact of the new standard is underway, however preliminary assessments indicate that the impact will not be material.
IFRS 15 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. It will therefore be effective in the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2019.
IFRS 15 replaces IAS 18 - Revenue and IAS 11 - Construction Contracts in order to provide a single, comprehensive five-step model to be applied to all sales contracts. The key principle of the standard is that revenue is recognised when control of the goods or services passes to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
A detailed assessment of the impact is currently ongoing, with a review of customer contracts across the Group underway. At this stage in the assessment, based on current findings, the Group does not expect a significant impact on the financial statements.
IFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. It will therefore be effective in the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2020.
IFRS 16 replaces IAS 17 - Leases and eliminates the classification of leases over 12 months in length as either operating leases or finance leases and introduces a single lessee accounting model whereby all leases are accounted for as finance leases, unless of low-value. The standard will therefore, require that the Group's leased assets are recorded within property, plant and equipment as 'right of use assets' with a corresponding lease liability which is based on the discounted value of the cash payments required under each lease. Meanwhile the operating lease expense will be replaced with a depreciation charge and a financing expense.
The Group's evaluation of the impact IFRS 16 will have on its consolidated financial statements is currently ongoing, but the effect is expected to be material based on the size of the Group's operating lease commitments in the annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2017.
The information reported to the Group's Board of Directors, considered to be the Group's chief operating decision maker for the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance, is based on a divisional structure. These divisions are considered to be operating segments.
Since a number of the operating segments meet the aggregation criteria set out in IFRS 8, they have been amalgamated into one reporting segment, Packaging. The remaining operating segments have been included as Non-packaging. The business performance of the two segments can be found in the Business review.
The following is an analysis of the Group's revenue by origin:
Impairment loss on property, plant and equipment and assets held for sale
Other restructuring, closure costs and other losses
Other impairment losses on property, plant and equipment
Remuneration charge on deferred consideration
Total exceptional items included in operating costs
Total exceptional and non-underlying operating items
Recognition of losses from prior year acquisitions
Tax effect of non-underlying adjustments
Total non-underlying taxation
Exceptional and non-underlying items are those items which, due to their materiality, nature or infrequency, could distort an assessment of underlying business performance.
Acquisition costs include the transactional acquisition costs of Astrapak. Integration costs relate to the continued integration of the Promens, GCS and BPI businesses into the RPC organisation, including related restructuring and closure costs. Other restructuring costs are the costs of other integration programmes not directly affected by the Promens, GCS and BPI integrations.
Insurance proceeds have been recognised and received for the fire at Eke, Belgium. The remuneration charge on deferred consideration includes the provision for remuneration earned by the shareholders of various acquisitions who must remain as employees of the Group for the duration of the earn-out period to qualify for the remuneration. The expected amounts to be paid for the Letica and Ace acquisitions have been reconsidered during the period and has resulted in a release of £11.5m.
Non-underlying finance items are described in note 5.
Non-underlying finance costs of £0.6m comprise defined benefit pension interest charges of £2.8m offset by income of £1.9m relating to the unwinding of discount on deferred, contingent consideration including related exchange impacts and £0.3m of other non-recurring finance related income.
A taxation charge of £44.1m (2016: £21.5m) has been made in the half year to 30 September 2017 in respect of the profit before taxation of £166.2m (2016: £72.5m), based on the Group tax rate expected for the full year applied to the pre-tax income for the six month period.
The adjusted Group tax rate is 24.5% compared with 22.8% for the period ended 31 March 2017 and 23.5% for the period ended 30 September 2016.
The tax credit applied to exceptional and non-underlying charges was 14.2% (30 September 2016: 15.1%, 31 March 2017: 32.3%). The low rate of tax relief for exceptional and non-underlying charges is driven by a number of items for which no tax relief is available, primarily relating to acquisition related costs and remuneration charges on deferred consideration.
The earnings per share has been computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares in issue during the half year ended 30 September 2017 of 413.5m (30 September 2016 (restated): 335.5m, 31 March 2017: 355.5m). The weighted average number of shares excludes shares held by the RPC Employee Benefit Trust to satisfy future awards in respect of incentive arrangements.
Diluted earnings per share is the earnings per share after allowing for the dilutive effect of the conversion into ordinary shares of the weighted average number of options outstanding during the period. The number of shares used for the fully diluted calculation at the half year ended 30 September 2017 was 416.0m (30 September 2016 (restated): 337.8m, 31 March 2017: 358.7m).
The directors believe that the presentation of an adjusted basic earnings per ordinary share assists with the understanding of the underlying performance of the Group. For this purpose the restructuring, impairment and other exceptional items, amortisation of acquired intangibles and other non-underlying items identified separately on the face of the Condensed consolidated income statement, together with non-underlying finance costs, adjusted for the tax thereon, have been excluded.
Final for 2016/17 paid of 17.9p per share
Interim for 2016/17 paid of 6.1p per share
Final for 2015/16 paid of 11.5p per share
A final dividend of 17.9p per share was paid on 31 August 2017 in respect of the year ended 31 March 2017 with a cost of £73.9m. The interim dividend for 2016/17 and final dividend for 2015/16 have been restated for rights issues made. An interim dividend of 7.8p has been proposed in respect of the period ended 30 September 2017 with an estimated cost of £32.3m. This dividend will be paid on 26 January 2018 to ordinary shareholders on the register at 29 December 2017.
During the period the Group recognised £26.6m of goodwill as part of the acquisition of Astrapak. The provisional fair value of intangibles acquired by the Group upon acquisition of Astrapak was £1.4m. For further details of the acquisition see note 16.
Actuarial (gains)/losses recognised in the statement of comprehensive income
The defined benefit obligation for employee pensions and similar benefits as at 30 September 2017 have been re-measured based on the disclosures as at 31 March 2017, the previous balance sheet date. The results have been adjusted by allowing for the updated IAS 19 financial assumptions and rolling forward the liabilities to 30 September 2017 using actual cash flows for the six month period.
The defined benefit plan assets have been updated to reflect their market value as at 30 September 2017. Differences between the actual and expected return on assets and the impact of changes in actuarial assumptions and experience gains and losses on liabilities have been recognised in the Condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
The employee benefit obligations at the half year decreased from £256.0m to £240.7m. The decrease was as a result of a 0.1% increase in the discount rate to 2.7% (31 March 2017: 2.6%) resulting in actuarial gains of £13.6m in the main UK defined benefit schemes.
Deferred and contingent consideration payable includes contingent consideration for the acquisitions of Ace, Strata, Letica, Amber and Synergy, measured at fair value.
Amounts due within one year relate to Strata and Ace which are payable in March 2018 and May 2018 respectively.

Primary financial instruments held to finance the Group's operations:
(1,267.9)
Derivative financial instruments held to manage the interest rate profile:
Derivative financial instruments held to manage foreign currency exposures and the interest rate profile:
All financial instruments carried at fair value within the Group are financial derivatives and are all categorised as Level 2 instruments. Level 2 fair values for these derivatives are calculated using observable inputs, either directly or indirectly. The fair value of the USPP is estimated by discounting expected future cash flows. Contingent consideration and acquisition remuneration is held at fair value which is estimated based on latest forecasts.
The Group acquired 1,670,957 of its own shares during the period (30 September 2016: 383,449). The total amount paid to acquire the shares was £15.0m (30 September 2016: £3.1m) and this has been deducted from retained earnings. Of the shares acquired, 295,332 are held in trust to satisfy awards in respect of share-based incentive arrangements. The remainder were acquired as part of a share buyback programme, executed by the group, to purchase and cancel own shares.

During the period net loans of £64.8m were drawn under the Group's financing facilities. The amount of headroom under the Group's facilities at 30 September 2017 totalled £1,077m.
On 19 June 2017 the Group acquired 100% of the share capital of Astrapak Limited, a leading South African manufacturer of rigid plastic packaging products and components with a broad product offering across injection moulding, blow moulding and thermoforming technology platforms.
Consideration comprised cash of £65.7m.
The goodwill recognised above includes certain intangible assets that cannot be separately identified and measured due to their nature. This includes control over the acquired business, the skills and experience of the assembled workforce and procurement and efficiency synergies.
The fair values of the assets and liabilities of companies acquired in the prior year have been reconsidered as part of the hindsight period. The changes made were to BPI, where additional provisions of £1.3m were created and the value of intangible fixed assets was decreased by £1.1m; as a result of this adjustment the deferred tax asset was increased by £0.4m.
There were no significant changes to the contingent liabilities reported at 31 March 2017 for the Group.
The average euro/sterling exchange rate for the 6 months to 30 September 2017 was €1.14 (6 months to 30 September 2016: €1.22; 12 months to 31 March 2017: €1.19) and the period end rate at 30 September 2017 was €1.13 (30 September 2016: €1.16; 31 March 2017: €1.17).
The average US dollar/sterling exchange rate for the 6 months to 30 September 2017 was $1.29 (6 months to September 2016: $1.37; 12 months to 31 March 2017: $1.31) and the period end rate at 30 September 2017 was $1.34 (30 September 2016: $1.30; 31 March 2017: $1.25).
The Group has a related party relationship with its subsidiaries and with its key management personnel, who are considered to be the directors of RPC Group Plc. There are no additional significant related party transactions other than those disclosed in note 29 of the annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2017.

How to create global looping transitions in a Jira workflow
(Edit note on 17/Dec/2021: This point now just applies to Data Center instances) Adding opsbar-sequence property to all workflow transitions is a good way for displaying transitions in the desired order. While that's true for any kind of transitions, it's especially relevant for global looping ones, as it's generally preferable to display first those transitions that lead to a status change for advancing the issue through its workflow.

Problem selecting objects in 2d graphics after changing view
rob.brieler shared this problem 9 months ago
In Firefox 53.0 on Windows 10, my students are getting the visual alert for leaving the screen if they use the backspace key too many times. Is it possible to alert the student before they hit backspace the last time?
Hi, could you please let us know how exactly does that happen? Was it while using the editor?
rob.brieler
Sorry for the delay before responding. I tried to observe my students more closely. I can identify some of the problems. It is not what I originally thought.
1) In IE11, after clicking start exam, there is a warning window at the bottom of the screen about the browser going full screen. Clicking allow once will cause the header to change to red before the student starts working.
2) There is still some issue with Firefox on Win 7 that I cannot pin down.
3) Relating to the original post, on Windows 7 in both IE and Firefox, if a student enters a valid expression in the first expression box, and then deletes it and presses enter, an alert appears. If the student then hits backspace again, the browser will automatically leave the exam view and geogebra. It does not turn red when the student returns to the exam calculator.

That race loss appeared to lead to a difficult run of form for Vettel, while the German was subsequently dropped by Ferrari before racing in 2020 had even got underway. And although ahead of the 2020 Portuguese Grand Prix, Vettel has scored just 17 points to team mate Charles Leclerc’s 63, Pirro was confident that a switch to new environs – with Vettel set to partner Lance Stroll at Aston Martin next year – could be enough to allow the four-time champion to return to his very best.
“I believe when you get involved in a [difficult] situation… you lose the ability to perform at the level you can perform,” said Pirro. “When you see, for instance, Sebastian Vettel who is really one of the greatest, and has done amazing races. He has won at least two of his championships at the last round, where the pressure was at its highest and recently, what he did doesn’t belong in his repertoire of what he can do. So to me, this is a sign of not really feeling comfortable.
“In any other sport, football, skiing, tennis, you can go through a period of not such good form, you don’t play very well, but people do not doubt about your ability, people do not think, ‘Oh, what you have achieved so far was thanks to good machinery.’ They just think, ‘Okay, you’re not going through a good period, let’s wait until you find good form again.’ It’s impossible to have a sportsman who is at the top all the time.
“Sometimes a driver looks very self-confident, he looks like his shoulders are broad, but in fact they aren’t, and often I’ve seen in many situations that it would be enough to put yourself or somebody else back in a comfort zone to [get them doing] the best he can do… But the magic thing, and the good thing, is that always when things change, you find again the ability to do what you can do, because you haven’t forgotten.”

DAWSONVILLE — Authorities are on the lookout for a woman that reportedly held up a jewelry store Wednesday morning at the North Georgia Premium Outlets.
Employees at Zales told investigators the woman entered a short time after the store opened at 10 a.m., brandished a pistol and forced them into the back of the business, where she zip-tied their hands.
“She was able to get away with an undisclosed amount of jewelry,” said Dawson County Sheriff’s Capt. Tony Wooten.
“Officers responded and started a canvas of the outlet mall,” Wooten said. “They canvassed other stores in an attempt to find additional video footage that might show something that might be useful in the investigation of the robbery.”
The suspect was described as a white woman, about 5 feet 5 inches tall with average build. She was reportedly wearing a dark baseball cap, blue button-up shirt and khaki pants.
“At this point, we believe she was the only person that entered the store during the robbery, but it remains under investigation if anyone assisted,” Wooten said.
Forum 18: TURKEY: Will schools respect parents' and pupils' freedom of religion or belief? - 17 November 2015
Turkey has twice, in 2007 and 2014, lost cases at the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in Strasbourg, as the country's education system fails to respect parents', guardians', and pupils' freedom of religion or belief, Forum 18 News Service notes. Yet Turkey has still not taken steps to prevent these and other human rights violations reoccurring. ECtHR judgments require such steps to be taken in order to prevent similar violations from happening, for example by changing laws and state practices, and this process is supervised by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe.
On 16 September 2014 the ECtHR found in the case of Mansur Yalcin and Others v. Turkey (Application no. 21163/11) that Turkey's compulsory Religious Culture and Knowledge of Ethics (RCKE) classes, and its education system did not respect the convictions of parents by not being either objective or respectful of pluralism. The RCKE course includes, despite changes made by the Education Ministry, still compulsory religious instruction in Islam with only a very limited exemption system that is difficult to take advantage of (see F18News 23 August 2011 http://www.forum18.org/archive.php?article_id=1603).
The ECtHR found that "no possibility for an appropriate choice had been envisaged for the children of parents who had a religious or philosophical conviction other than that of Sunni Islam, and the very limited exemption procedure was likely to subject those parents to a heavy burden and to the need to disclose their religious or philosophical convictions in order to have their children exempted from the religion lessons." This requirement for parents and pupils to disclose their beliefs is not compatible with the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR).
This, the ECtHR found, violates Article 2 of Protocol No. 1 ("The right to education") of the ECHR which in part states that "the State shall respect the right of parents to ensure such education and teaching in conformity with their own religious and philosophical convictions" (see http://hudoc.echr.coe.int/eng?i=001-146381).

How To Create A Snowy Atmosphere & Aura Effect with Photoshop - 123RF
How To Create A Snowy Atmosphere & Aura Effect with Photoshop
Leigh G 123RF https://blog.123rf.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/123RF_logo_v2.png 323 62 December 24, 2014 December 26, 2014 https://blog.123rf.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/24.jpg 800 533
In this tutorial, I'll show you how to create a snowy atmosphere with an aura effect. In addition, you'll also learn how to color-correct using adjustment layers, and add movement using the Radial Blur filter.
First, extract and position your main elements.
In this tutorial, I chose this image of a young couple in a winter embrace. There are multiple ways to extract a photo but personally, I prefer using the pen tool.
Tip:When cutting out the feet to be placed on the snow, make sure they're a little more sunk in rather than standing right on top so it looks more natural. (unless of course, they're elves from LOTR)
Next, we're going to add a shadow to the couple.
Duplicate the couple's image and add a "Color Overlay" layer style.
Set color to #11204f and right click > Rasterize Layer Style.
Rename the layer as "Shadow" and move it behind the couple's image.
Using the Move and Transform tools, pull the shadow layer down so it appears almost upside, but slightly squashed.
Click on Transform Control then right click > Perspective.
Grab the bottom, "Transform Control" and pull it to the right to slant the shadow.
Next, drag the Opacity down to 70%.
Blur the end of the shadow furthest from the couple. You can do this with any of the blur filters. I used the "Tilt-Shift" filter that is only available in Photoshop CS6 and CC. Other than that, Gaussian Blur would be another good option as well.
Take note that you only want to blur the ends, not the feet.
Now, we're going to add some lighting to the couple to match the forest.
First, we'll do the shading. Since the couple is being lit from behind, the side facing us will be darker.
Create a new layer and attach it to the couple. Set it to "Soft Light".
With a soft round brush set to Black and about 30% opacity, start painting the couple but be careful to stay away from the edges.
Create a new layer below that layer and set it to "Soft Light" as well.
With the same brush, only this time set to white, paint around the edges of the couple.
Now, we're going to add an aura effect around the couple.
To start, create a new layer above the couple and set it to "Screen".
With varying brush sizes using a flow of 16%, paint a neon green color in a shape similar to what you see below:
Create a new layer above that layer and do the same thing, only this time with a hot pink color.
And do it one more time with a light blue color.
Select and merge those three layers together and set them back to "Screen".
Go to Filter > Blur > Motion Blur and vertically (using up and down movement), blur the layer until it looks smooth and rename the layer "Aura".
Note: You may want to enlarge and shape it a bit as well.
Create a new layer above your aura layer, and set it to "Overlay".
Now, do like you did before with the pink, green and blue shades, only this time with the color white to make the aura seem brighter and more solid.
Do it one more time with thinner lines, like you see below.
Now, we're going to add snow.
Find an image of falling snow similar to the one below: (Image ID: 18268074)
Set the layer mode to "Screen".
Next, go to Filter > Blur > Radial Blur and set it to "Radial" and "Best".
The amount is up to you depending on the size of your image, so just trial and error until the image is to your satisfaction.
When you're done, duplicate the snow image and enlarge it.
Then apply a Gaussian Blur till you have something like this:
Set it to "Screen"
Finally, duplicate the original snow layer and shrink it.
Combine a bunch of duplicated layers together until you have something like this:
Merge these layers together and place them directly above your background layer at the bottom.
Set it to "Screen". This should be your final result:
Now, we're going to do some color correcting using adjustment layers.
Above all your other layers, create a "Color Balance" adjustment layer and set it to Red -38, Green, -14, and Blue +15.
Create a new layer above that and set it to "Screen".
With a very large soft round brush, paint a hot pink color on the upper part of the sky near the light source and set the layer opacity to 29%.
Above that, create a "Color Lookup" adjustment layer, and set it to "Abstract" "Sienna-Blue".
Finally, below your aura layers but above the layer of the couple, create a "Brightness and Contrast" adjustment layer and set it to Brightness -10 and Contrast +31.
Note: You may want to lower the opacity of your snow layers.
Next, we want to add some colored light from the aura to the snow below the couple, and also on the couple themselves.
Attach a new layer to the couple, and set it to "Screen".
Set a medium soft round brush with a mixture of the same colors you used for the aura paint on the couple.
Create a new layer above the couple layer, but do not attach, set it to "Overlay".
Again, with the same brush and the same blue, pink and green color, paint in some light below the couple on the snow.

Congratulations! After a much overdue wait, I am happy to announce that your artwork has been accepted into the new Zen Doodle Oodles of Doodles art book. Please take a moment to let it sink in and tell everybody of your great news!
Someone once told me that you are a professional when you sell something or are published….does this mean I am a professional now? Well, At least I can cross that off my Bucket List!
My Niece and I have started a weekly art Journal Challenge, I pick the number and she gives the challenge from a place called Wonder strange….This week its "Smoking Baby" This gave me a start! BUT I have managed the start the process and not involve cigarettes or cooking babies thank goodness! It really is fun and she just started really drawing and is better than she thinks!
she also started a Journal that has the writing on the back, and pictures of the things that stood out to her, and I have to say? It was VERY inspiring!! she includes her horoscope, and she looks up strange holidays…Like Monday? was "Look Up At The Sky" day……….really? OH….AND "Dolphin Day"….Who Knew!? So I think I will also do something similar! Random Facts are FUN! My page is going to include "100 years ago today" And I also did a Rune reading in mine! cool huh? I will post it tomorrow…I still have to "redo" my Journal Flip and try to upload that as well!
I think I will have to go sit in a corner….and let it sink in that I will actually have some published art….I know its not a million bucks……but it feels pretty good to me….I am grinning from ear to ear!
This Doodle is on a Canvas! I'm almost Done with it! This isn't the one they are publishing tho….Not YET anyway!

Congratulations, Dawn! I'm so happy for you! That doodle is on canvas?! That's awesome. I can't wait to see how it turns out. Hugs! Wendy
Thanks Wendy! The doodle I posted on here yes, I did it on canvas. I actually "prefer" doing my doodles on 20×30 inch foam board, So I may go back to that….Or some other really large area, like wood? I would LOVE to do a whole wall!!
Congratulations, Dawn! What great news! Good for you!
Thanks Raine! I was really surprised to get that email….I figured it was way past time and they didn't choose any of my submissions, so it was a "woo woo" moment as Effy would say!
Congratulations Dawn on being published that is so exciting!!! Good for you keeping up with your blog as well! I tried and it's just to complicated for me. I enjoy keeping up with all you regulars, though!
Thanks Jackie! I am thrilled, and I cant wait to see it IN the book! and Blogging? its getting easier to do more often, but I like once a week except for the blog along, I think once a day is too often for those who subscribe. I truly enjoy Blogging!

Re: Confederate Flag Closure – Dixie Outfitters
Re: Confederate Flag Closure
Home/Interesting Email/Re: Confederate Flag Closure
Your article "Confederate Flag Closure" at
http://www.ndsmcobserver.com/viewpoint/confederate-flag-closure-1.2636303
To: [email protected]
Many people believe that the Confederate Flags are symbols of bigotry, hatred, prejudice, and racism. Indeed, lots of information can be cited to support that conclusion, and those observers who rely solely upon that information are justified in drawing that conclusion. The true seeker after information, however, does not base his conclusions solely upon the surface information. Rather, he gathers all the information he can find before he draws a conclusion.
There exists a large body of information that, when known, makes it obvious that Confederate Flags mean bigotry/hate/prejudice/racism only to (1) those who use them to symbolize those qualities, and (2) those who know only of those uses. Once the true seeker after information has this additional information, he can readily see that Confederate Flags are, far from being symbols of evil, symbols sometimes used (or abused) by people with evil intentions.
So that you may be more of a Paul than a Saul, I shall give you some of that information:
You write: "Whether it's hanging in their dorm rooms or wearing it on their clothes, the [Confederate Battle] flag simply does not belong at Notre Dame, a school that prides itself on both its Catholic character and academic strength."
Several points of your article make it obvious that either you have not partaken of Notre Dame's academic strength or that strength is over-rated. (My opinion is of the former.)
As for Catholic character: One of the more prominent people who recognized Jefferson Davis as President of the Confederate States of America, and wrote him a letter of comfort and counsel while he was dungeoned following the war, was born 13 May 1792 as Giovanni Maria Mastai-Ferretti. He is better known as Pope Pius IX. (In the autumn of 2000, he was beatified, which puts him one step removed from sainthood.) Under his Papacy the dogma of Papal Infallibility was promulgated. Although his support of President Davis did not involve speaking ex cathedra on a matter of faith and morals, it seems rather obvious that, being a Supreme Pontiff and a Beatus, his were no doubt Roman Catholic opinions.
You write: "It has been 146 years since Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant sat down inside a courthouse in Appomattox, Va. to cease the bloodiest war in American history."
As of 9 April 2011, it was 146 years since Generals Lee and Grant sat down together to do the paperwork – but they did it in a private residence, specifically in the house of Wilmer McLean in the town of Appomattox Court House, Appomattox County, Virginia. (Another clue that you have not partaken of Notre Dame's academic strength, perhaps?)
You write: "…the war was fought, amongst other reasons, over the institution of slavery …"
To refute the oft-repeated canard that the War was fought over slavery, I need only mention the Corwin Amendment– proposed by Congressman Thomas Corwin of Ohio, passed by Congress 2 March 1861, and endorsed by Abraham Lincoln. That amendment read: "No amendment shall be made to the Constitution which will authorize or give to Congress the power to abolish or interfere, within any State, with the domestic institutions thereof, including that of persons held to labor or service by the laws of said State."
You write: "I believe it is plausible to say that when a reason for war is upholding the law of the enslavement of another human being, the battle flag for the pro-slavery side will become a symbol of both hatred and heartache to those who were adversely affected by it."
Those who seek a pro-slavery flag need look no farther than the thirteen-stripe United States flag.
The nation that flew that flag permitted the importation of slaves from overseas for 32 years (1776-1808).
The Confederate Constitution prohibited the importation of slaves from overseas.
The nation that flew that flag permitted slavery for 89 years (1776-1865).
The Confederate States of America permitted slavery for four years.
You write: "The Confederate flag is a symbol both of Southern heritage and slavery and segregation. It's been used by the Ku Klux Klan and hundreds of other extremist groups."
The flag that we know as the Confederate Battle Flag was used by many (but by no means all) Confederate military units during the War for Southern Independence (1861-1865). It was the Confederate soldiers' flag, and they alone had the right to interpret its meaning.
In 1896, since many of the Confederate veterans were aged, infirm, and dying off, the Sons of Confederate Veterans was formed as the successor organization to the United Confederate Veterans. The legacy and authority of the United Confederate Veterans was transferred to them over the next ten years. This transfer of power culminated in a speech given 25 April 1906 at New Orleans, Louisiana by Stephen Dill Lee, Confederate lieutenant-general, and commander-in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans, wherein he delivered the following charge:
Anyone other than the Sons of Confederate Veterans who uses or attempts to define the Confederate Battle Flag does so on grounds at best shaky, and any interpretation so given is questionable.
As for a Ku Kluxer flag: The thirteen-stripe United States flag is the favored flag of the Ku Kluxers. See http://pointsouth.com/csanet/kkk.htm for pictures.
You write: "So why has [the Confederate Battle] flag made its way to the University of Notre Dame, an institution that firmly believes in the foundations of diversity and community?"
Diversity is a synonym for variety or dissimilarity – a situation wherein several things that are not alike are considered together. Given that Notre Dame as an institution truly believes in diversity, it follows that all opinions are welcome, including all opinions about all symbols, be they politically correct or not, so it should come as no surprise that some people at Notre Dame have a favorable opinion of the Confederate Battle Flag.
If any opinion is unwelcome at Notre Dame, then it logically follows that Notre Dame is not truly diverse.
Rather than showing respect for diversity, your article smacks of bigotry (obstinate and unreasoning attachment to one's own belief and opinions with intolerance of beliefs opposed to them) and prejudice (an opinion or leaning adverse to anything without just grounds or before sufficient knowledge; or an opinion or judgment formed beforehand or without due examination) [definitions taken from Webster's Third New International Dictionary of the English Language Unabridged (Chicago: Encyclopaedia Britannica, Inc.; 1981)].
Now, then – you have been informed, so you are more of a Paul than a Saul.
So that I may know that you are not a prejudiced bigot, but wrote your article out of simple ignorance (lack of knowledge about the Confederate Battle Flag), I look for you to write a retraction.

Among the Cananéia mangrove swamp (extreme south of São Paulos coastline), it was identified within the Archeological Programme of the Lower Ribeira Valley, eight shell middens within which could be found archeological submerged traces. Aiming at the understanding of these shell middens occurrence and the contextualisation in space and time in relation to the holocenic variations of the sea level, this monograph was based on an adaptation of the Vibracoring technique, underwater archeological methods and techniques, on the geoarcheological interpretation of Waters (1992), and on the studies of Formation Process adopted by Stein (1992). Thus, the shell middens preserving potential and distribution in this area shows a strong correlation with the sea related level changes, that occurred after the last holocenic regressive maximum. These evidences also indicated that not only were there real chances that completely submerged shell midden were preserved but also that it is not always that sites related to an ancient sea level ended up into being destroyed or kept submerged. In some cases, some that should have been destroyed or kept submerged, are seen in land covered by recent coast sediments or protected by any geological feature. Besides contributing to the development and maturation of the scientific underwater archeology and for the studies of the curves of the sea related level changes the research also identified some important evidences to the understanding of the shell middens phenomenon such as the occurrence of stratigraphic sequences that attach functional differences and an intention in building some sites, such as the one dated back to almost 8.000 years ago when Cananéia was first inhabited by the people of the shell middens

I started my career as a software developer. After my fair share of working in traditionally led development projects I learned about Scrum and Agile. Taken by this new approach I started running through my organization and telling everybody about it. After my first experience as a Scrum Master I further spread Agile and Lean methodologies in my company as an Agile Coach.
With my energy and contagious enthusiasm, combined with (I tell myself) great humor, I get people inspired. I am convinced that working with more fun leads to better results. One of my main characteristics is that I have a big urge to keep learning and developing myself. That's why after graduating on Computer Science I attained a Masters degree in Organizational Science. I can relate as a techie when at the same time see things from a broader perspective.
In my spare time you can find me often in the woods: either on my mountainbike dodging trees or geocaching with my three kids. When I'm home I like to occasionaly play some computer games and try to make a dent in my ever growing reading backlog.

Scoreboard: Syrian concern - InvestSMART
Scoreboard: Syrian concern
Wall Street was unmoved by poor durable goods data, but slipped into the red after John Kerry hinted at action on Syria.
For most of the session, US stocks weren't doing all that much, trading within a narrow range just above zero. Indeed, markets even brushed off news that durable goods orders slumped 7 per cent in July (after a 4 per cent increase in June). That's a pretty big fall, mind you – the biggest in roughly a year, and one that would normally spark some kind of reaction. I mean, even core orders (which are less volatile) fell about 3 per cent.
Whether it was a general view that orders are too volatile to give a meaningful signal, with only one month's data, or confusion over what it might mean for QE, stocks didn't react. In fact some hours later they hit their high (S&P500 up 0.3 per cent). Overlaid with all that is the northern summer holiday I guess, and volumes were low.
Now, US equities did close in the red (S&P500 and Dow off 0.4 per cent to 1656 and 14,946 respectively), but the offer didn't really come on till pretty much the last hour of trade. I can't really pinpoint any reason for it. Certainly the US rhetoric on Syria is more aggressive and people who know about such things suggest a US attack is imminent.
Last night, the US Secretary of State John Kerry said that Syria would be held accountable for the moral obscenity of using chemical weapons against its own people – and it is a moral obscenity, if it's true. And this is a point Russia has raised: is it true? Do a handful of video clips actually amount to evidence?
In highlighting this, the Russian foreign minister said that Russia wouldn't engage in hostilities if anyone did attack Syria, but that it would be a "serious violation of international law". Now, that comment may indeed have helped the offer build, but then crude actually fell for the session (-0.2 per cent to $106.2), and while gold rose, it was only up about $8 or so to $1404. War thematics generally see more action here.
Similarly, there wasn't a lot of price action elsewhere. In the forex space, the Australian dollar is little changed at 0.9024 (60 pips range), down smalls from 1630 AEST. Similarly, the euro is at 1.371, or little changed, and the yen is at 98.45. Finally, the US 10-year bond yield was off 3 bps to 2.79 per cent.
News and data was otherwise light. In the US we saw the Dallas Fed manufacturing index rise to 5 from 4.4, while in Europe, the head of Germany's Bundesbank said that it wasn't his expectation that rates would be held low for years, citing the fact that monetary policy eventually loses its effect over time (unless you make the mistakes the Fed has by continuing to provide another fix to the market) and poses risks to financial stability.
That's probably about it. For today then, the SPI suggests our market will fall 0.6 per cent. Chinese industrial profits are out at 1130 AEST, but that's pretty much it for our session. For tonight it's worth watching the German IFO survey, US house prices (S&P/Case-Shiller), consumer confidence and the Richmond Fed manufacturing index.

Spoonie Reads – Even Without Wings
"You Don't LOOK Sick! – Living Well with Invisible Chronic Illness" by Joy H. Selak and Steven S. Overman, MD, MPH. Available on Amazon. — 'You Don't LOOK Sick!' — Though our illnesses differ, that one line seems to stay constant. This book was a good read, I liked the way the author, Joy Selak, wrote about her experiences with such emotion. There is also some good information from the perspective of the doctor working with Joy to get her life back. Also, if you're American, this book has some good tidbits on how to deal with health care and insurance companies & policies in the United States.
"My Imaginary Illness – A Journey Into Uncertainty and Prejudice In Medical Diagnosis" by Chloe G. K. Atkins. Available on Amazon — This book touched me deeply and was one of the primary inspirations for this blog. Chloe details her life with doctors who didn't believe she was ill and treated her awfully because of it. She was diagnosed with 'conversion disorder' in the beginning, which is what I was diagnosed with in June 2015. This book chronicles her fight to find the correct diagnosis & to be treated like a human being, which is why I love it so dearly. It's definitely worth the read if you're experiencing the same issues dealing with doctors as the author (and myself) are.
This page will be updated as I finish books on chronic illness that I feel are worth a read. Feel free to leave a comment with your suggestions for Spoonie reads.

The National Care Forum (NCF), the leading association of not-for-profit care and support providers, in association with the Care Provider Alliance have brought together a wide range of partners committed to offering support. This includes expertise from across national and local government, housing, recruitment specialists, legal and immigration experts and regulators.
Employers and partners are working closely with recruitment experts to enable displaced people from Ukraine and other parts of the world, to identify roles within the care sector, signpost individuals to localised support and ensure that employers work together to provide the best opportunity for those who wish to work.
While this work progresses, the broader support for people displaced from Ukraine through the Homes for Ukrainians scheme is being clarified. Alongside this, local government have an important role in how local support will work, with specific roles and responsibilities still emerging. It is imperative that the desire to work is aligned with the need for displaced people to be connected into wider community and pastoral support.

New Survey Data: Top Cited Deficiencies from Nursing Home Recertification Surveys
On August 4, 2022 by Jonathan Lips
The information available from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Quality, Certification and Oversight Reports (QCOR) database shows that the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has completed 127 nursing facility recertification surveys during the federal fiscal year-to-date. There is some lag time in survey data entry, so the actual current total of surveys conducted is somewhat higher. Here's a sampling of the data:

New flow measurement technique for 'heavy oil' could save the industry 'millions' | Fluid Handling Magazine
New flow measurement technique for 'heavy oil' could save the industry 'millions'
NEL's laboratory in East Kilbride
NEL, a company specialising in flow measurement research and development, has announced a new method to improve the accuracy of differential pressure meters for high viscosity oil. The company claims its new technique will help the oil and gas industry reduce financial risks on investments while addressing challenges around flow measurement.
With approximately 70% of the world's remaining oil reserves classed as heavy oil, measuring flow accurately can prove a problem. 40% of the world's flowmeters are differential pressure meters which according to NEL were not built for the demands of heavy oil applications. NEL estimates that the inaccurate measurements provided by differential pressure meters could be costing the oil and gas industry millions of dollars a year.
Craig Marshall, Flow Measurement Engineer at NEL, who has worked on the new technique as part of his engineering doctorate at Coventry University, said: "As the world produces ever more heavy oil, accurate measurement is critical in order to safely control the production processes and optimise recovery, as well as meet sales and pipeline agreement requirements. It is also essential to support taxation reporting and allocation measurement when operators share pipelines. This method has the potential to benefit multiple industrial sectors where viscous fluids are processed."
NEL's new solution still uses differential pressure technology, but according to the company it removes performance errors by providing a corrected coefficient in real-time. In addition, NEL's new method also provides a measurement of the density and viscosity of the fluid, two key parameters for the calculation of mass or volume flow and pipeline entry criteria.
According to a statement from NEL: "This potentially removes the requirement and associated costs for sampling systems, inline densitometers and inline viscometers, providing a powerful all-in-one measurement solution."

Reeking Creek: San Cristobal creek causes concern as health risks grow
Contributor/June 27, 2021
Deedee often goes to the community market in Barangay San Cristobal to buy produce for the week. On her way home, her mouth waters upon smelling the appetizing cooked food wafting beyond her subdivision's gates. However, her appetite is ruined by the stench of the creek nearby. Not only was her appetite ruined, but her health could potentially be at risk as well.
Health risks such as cholera and typhoid fever are often borne of polluted creeks. The same health risks loom over the Milenyo settlement area of Barangay San Cristobal, Calamba City as solid waste and nutrient pollution in the nearby creek have caused concerns, especially during the pandemic.
"When I go near the bridge above the creek, the water smells really bad, it smells like garbage. But we have to get used to it, because we live near it," said Deedee, not her real name.
However, according to Deedee, there's only little the barangay can do in terms of cleaning.
Polluted Connections
San Cristobal's creek winds near the most populated parts of the barangay, such as the intersection road, the Milenyo settlement, the entrance to a subdivision and San Cristobal Elementary School. This concerns the people in the village, as improper waste disposal can cause serious impacts on human health.
Many residents have complained about the smell, ruining their appetites due to the stench of the creek.
"When we come near the creek, I can't help but cover my nose with my hand or a handkerchief, because it smells very bad, especially when the waters rise," Buddy, not his real name.
Not only is there the stench of the creek that affects the people, the environment is also affected, from land, water, and air.
Recently, plastics and trash were swept as the water levels rose due to the heavy rainfall brought by the recent typhoons Rolly and Ulysses in the third quarter of 2020. These were ultimately burned due to the lack of a space to dump all the awashed garbage.
Other residents have also complained about the horrid smell of the burning plastics from the creek. Dina Diesta, a resident of Barangay San Cristobal, said the locals set fire to the plastics fairly often, once every three days.
Burning of plastics emits gases such as methane, one of the so-called greenhouse gases, that get trapped in the ozone which causes greenhouse effect and contributes to global warming and climate change.
City Health Officer Adelino Labro said that Calambeños (local of Calamba), especially those with respiratory diseases, should wear masks while the air quality issues are being resolved.
According to a May 2018 report made by the World Health Organization (WHO), the Philippines ranked third with the most deaths due to air pollution, with over 45 deaths recorded per 100,000 individuals due to air pollution.
Furthermore, not only is the air affected, but the greens and the blues of the world as well.
Many kinds of solid waste have been spotted in the creek, with commonly just one time use packaging such as sachets and biscuit wrappers.
"In the creek, I saw plastics, napkins, food packaging, and some sort of animal waste that looked like it came from a dog," Juchel Viray, a resident of Barangay San Cristobal, said.
According to the data of Calamba City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) in 2010, an estimated amount of 200 tons of garbage is created by Calambeños, equivalent to the weight of 142 commonly use cars.
In a research by the Department of Health, hazardous waste can cause severe effects such as behavioral abnormalities, cancer, genetic mutations, physical abnormalities, and birth defects. However, common cases may irritate the skin or eyes, make it difficult to breathe, cause headaches and nausea, or result in other types of illness.
Hazardous wastes can be found in factories and other industrial facilities.
The land is affected, but as well as the waters.
The creek became a polluted body of water that posed posed health risks due to human activities and environmental neglect.
Pollution greatly affects the waters of the Philippines, as it contributes to killing sea creatures, such as fishes, crustaceans, and corals. Especially in Laguna de Bay, the largest lake in the Philippines, where pollution has resulted in fish kills which affected the livelihood of fisherfolks.
The San Cristobal Creek also has animals living in it too. According to Julie Manalo, a resident of the settlement area, when the creek's tide rises, they spot fishes, turtles, and even snakes.
Pollution due to agricultural and industrial factories, and human activity is a notorious cause of fish kills. Plastic wastes can be ingested by the fish. Nutrient pollution, on the other hand, is produced by agricultural fertilizers which then promotes plant growth in the waters, and eventually causing fish kills due to the lack of oxygen in the water.
Diseases that can be caused by the pollution of water due to human activities, such as factories, improper waste segregation, and neglect to the environment are malaria, cholera and diarrhea, according to the Epidemiology Bureau of the Department of Health.
Cholera is a disease caused by a bacteria that usually spreads through contaminated water. Cholera causes severe diarrhea and dehydration to the infected person. The said disease can be fatal within hours, even to previously healthy people, if it is left untreated.
Fortunately, modern sewage systems, water treatment, and other breakthroughs have helped to virtually eliminate cholera in industrialized countries. However, as the creek is very accessible from the Milenyo settlement of 30 households, it still poses a potential risk in the barangay.
Future Seems Bleak?
The people of Barangay San Cristobal have yet to see any improvements in the creek, either. Some have even complained about the smell of the creek. For some citizens the future of the creek seems bleak.
"It's a bit bleak for me to see that creek being cleaned in the near future, as I have been living here for over a decade and I haven't seen any improvements," Buddy said.
"Not much has changed since I moved here on that creek, but I really hope that they clean the creek soon, there's really a lot of plastic there," said Deedee.*

U.S. Breweries: Water & Wastewater Trends and Forecasts | Bluefield Research
Over the last five years, breweries in the U.S.—large, midsize, regional, and small—have scaled significantly on the heels of urban demand for craft beer. The thrust of this activity has been driven by the smaller end of the facility spectrum. At the close of 2019, there were 7,906 facilities in the U.S., of which only 76 were large (e.g. Anheuser-Busch, MillerCoors).
This growth, however, comes at a cost including increasing wastewater discharge rates (e.g. surcharges) posed by municipal utilities, regulatory permits. Because of this, the market size for water and wastewater management exceeded US$335 million in 2018.

What should you do if staff give away stock to patients? | Chemist+Druggist
by Accord Academy 19/09/2017 9 comments Features
You've discovered a counter assistant doing something unexpected
You have found out that one of your young counter assistants has been giving away stock – specifically, sanitary products. She says she has done this to help customers who she knows can't afford to buy them.
Should you let her off?
A staff member has been giving sanitary products to deprived patients for free. Do you let her off?
Your counter assistant's heart is clearly in the right place, but she's going about this in the wrong way.
Whatever her reasons, she is stealing from your business. Providing you have evidence, you can legally dismiss her with immediate effect, and report her to the police.
However, if this is the first offence of a naïve youngster, you might not want to be so heavy-handed. There are more constructive ways of dealing with this situation.
Firstly, she needs to understand that what she is doing is wrong. Perhaps an informal word will be enough, but you need to be sure that the message has hit home or she might continue to give items away.
It might be wise to follow the official disciplinary procedures of your pharmacy or pharmacy group. If no procedure is available, consider using the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service guide to discipline and grievances at work and issue a formal written warning.
The advantage of following a formal procedure is that this should allow the person being disciplined a chance to improve. In fact, this could be a great opportunity for your counter assistant.
She has highlighted an issue that is gaining political prominence and that was recently debated in the House of Commons: 'period poverty', women being unable to afford sanitary protection.
So, you could try to turn your counter assistant's altruism into a positive action. Why don't you suggest that she comes up with a scheme to help disadvantaged people in your community?
How about a donation point in your pharmacy where patients can donate items that your counter assistant can take to a local food bank – which generally welcome sanitary products as well as food donations – or give to patients in need?
Your counter assistant has been misguided in her desire to help. She needs to understand what she has done wrong. But if you also give her the opportunity to take control of a scheme, it could boost her confidence and skills, increasing her loyalty to you as an employer.

Instant dismissal is the only option
Posted on Mon, 11/09/2017 - 18:49
This is not a decision for all and sundry to make if they feel strongly then they can pay for it themselves and give the item to the deserving person.
I would like to be the one that decides in my establishment who pays and who is the recipient of a good will gesture , where will this end dont charge for prescriptions or if its some ones birthday!

The only punishment suitable for sweethearting is death!! - a direct quote from the "company's" management handbook
Posted on Thu, 07/09/2017 - 20:13
Give the poor girl a break, at least she's trying to help someone in need, it's not easy for counter assistants to run the pharmacies while the highly paid pharmacist hides in the back playing snap chat. If I discovered this in one of my pharmacies I'd just take the money back from the pharmacist that should have been supervising.
Posted on Sat, 09/09/2017 - 13:21
As opposed to all the lowly paid area managers who are facing customers all the time. Lol! FYI sanitary products are sold everywhere...some places even without a pharmacist shock horror!
Pharmacists supervise the sale of pharmacy medicines and need skilled staff members who know when to refer to the pharmacist. The greedy area managers short staffing pharmacies should dig deep into their own pockets as the patient harm resulting from their unethical and immoral actions is on their non-existant conscience.
Posted on Sun, 10/09/2017 - 12:48
This idiot can't really be an area manager surely? Does he realise pharmacists aren't going to supervise purchases of tampons? Sounds like the type we need to be v. careful around - he probably lets his favoured staff do these sorts of things and fires the ones he doesn't like. Idiot.
Posted on Sun, 10/09/2017 - 19:36
Sounds like most area managers. Treat pharmacy like a high school popularity contest and get rid of people they dont like. Also clueless as to what a pharmacist actually does.
Posted on Wed, 06/09/2017 - 17:14
Try giving stock away in Tesco and see what happens. Pharmacy is a business and must make a profit. No contract of employment will state that's it's OK to give stock away, it is theft from the business, nothing more.

Front cover of the Winter 2003-2004 issue of Louisiana Cultural Vistas, featuring Tim Gautreaux. Learn more » Contemporary Louisiana writer Tim Gautreaux is the author of three novels—The Next Step in the Dance (1998), The Clearing (2003), and The Missing (2009) —as well as two short story collections, Same Place, Same Things (1996) and Welding with Children (1999). Louisiana and Acadian culture in particular play a central role in his fiction, much of which is influenced by Cajun oral tradition. His work frequently features working-class characters facing moral or ethical challenges against the backdrop of Louisiana's changing physical and cultural landscape. As writer in residence at Southeastern Louisiana University for thirty years, Gautreaux influenced a new generation of Louisiana writers as both a teacher and writer.
Timothy Martin Gautreaux was born in Morgan City, on October 19, 1947 to Minos Lee and Florence Ella Adoue Gautreaux. His father was a tugboat captain, and most of the men in his family worked either in the railroad industry or offshore oilrigs. In 1969, Gautreaux graduated from Nicholls State University in Thibodeaux, with a degree in English literature. He later earned a Ph.D. in literature from the University of South Carolina and returned to Louisiana to teach at Southeastern University. While there, he studied with fellow Louisiana writer Walker Percy, whom Gautreaux credits with encouraging him to explore the short story genre after years of writing poetry. While Gautreaux followed a different path than most of his male relatives, he credits the storytelling traditions of these blue-collar working men for inspiring him to become a writer and shaping his literary style. Often raucous and outrageous but always entertaining, these traditions are evident in Gautreaux's writing, as is an ecological sensibility born of his love of the Louisiana landscape and waterways. The religion imparted to him by Catholic schools and the culture it permeated also inflects his work, which work often centers on issues of guilt, redemption, and spirituality, both explicit and implicit.
Themes common in Gautreaux's work include the role of place and tradition in a rapidly transforming Louisiana, the importance of community in Cajun culture, and the possibility of moral and spiritual redemption. As a Catholic regionalist writer concerned with humor, spirituality, and grace, Gautreaux's work suggests the influence of Flannery O'Connor and Walker Percy. Yet, in his evocation of Cajun life and culture and sharp rendering of unique Louisiana settings, his voice is clear and distinct. Gautreaux's work has garnered considerable critical acclaim. His first novel, The Next Step in the Dance, won the Southeastern Booksellers Association's "Novel of the Year" award in 1999. The short story collection Welding with Children was named a New York Times notable book of 1999. Most recently, the Center for the Book, at the Louisiana State Library, presented him with the 2009 Louisiana Writer Award to honor his outstanding contributions to the state's literary and intellectual life. Professor emeritus at Southeastern Louisiana University, Gautreaux and his wife, Winborne Howell, make their home near Hammond and in Jefferson, North Carolina.

As the Tourism World marks this year’s edition of the World Tourism Day, Kwara Development Foundation, KWADEF has urged the Kwara state government to tap into the abundant tourism potentials of the state and unleash it to development the state.
In a statement by the group’s president, Dr. Kolawole Afolabi, KWADEF observed that the reality of an economy without reliance on crude oil earnings has become one of the fall-outs of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Afolabi explained that since Kwara state plays no direct part in this petroleum-based economy except as a recipient of federal revenue, the government should therefore key into the new reality and tap in to the new gold mine which tourism represents worldwide.

LaMelo Ball before the match between Vytautas Prienai and Zalgiris Kauno on January 9 in Prienai, Lithuania. Ball left the club with his brother LiAngelo in April but returned to Lithuania over the weekend for a tour match. Alius Koroliovas/Getty Images
LaMelo and LiAngelo, the younger brothers of Los Angeles Lakers guard Lonzo Ball, spent four months in the Baltic country earlier this year playing BC Prina-Skycop with rather underwhelming results.
The duo returned to Lithuania over the weekend as part of a touring team made up of U.S. players from the Junior Basketball Association (JBA), the organization formed by their father, LaVar, as an alternative to college basketball.
Halfway through the third quarter of the game between the JBA team and BC Dzukija, LaMelo drove to the basket against Mindaugas Susinskas but lost control of the ball, which bounced out of play.
A video shared on YouTube shows Susinkas lightly tapping Ball on the back of the head upon returning to the court. The gesture clearly incensed the 17-year-old, who turns around to face his opponent before hitting him in the face and sparking a fracas involving pretty much every player from both sides.
Ball and Susinkas were both ejected by the referee and BC Dzukija, which competes in the first division of the Lithuanian Basketball League, won the game 124-116, after trailing 69-54 at halftime.
The incident is not the first time the Balls have caused controversy in Lithuania.
Speaking to USA Today last month, Virginijus Seskus, the coach of BC Prina-Skycop, accused the Ball family of "destroying the club," which was sponsored by LaVar and which LiAngelo and LaMelo played for.
The Ball brothers moved to Lithuania in January 2018, after LiAngelo dropped out of UCLA and LaMelo decided to skip college after dropping out of Chino Hills before his junior year.
The former, the senior of the two brothers, opted to withdraw from UCLA when he was suspended indefinitely from the university's basketball program after he and two teammates were arrested in China for shoplifting.
Shortly after LiAngelo and LaMelo arrived in Lithuania, BC Prina-Sycop withdrew from the Baltic Basketball League and launched a five-game exhibition series.
The event was sponsored by LaVar's Big Baller Brand and became known as the Big Baller Brand Challenge Games.
However, the honeymoon period between the trio and the Lithuanian team was short-lived as Seskus rapidly grew tired of LaVar's seemingly relentless criticism.
The Lithuanian coach also had strong words for LiAngelo and LaMelo, who averaged 12.6 points and 6.5 points per game respectively in the regular season .
Their talent is "nowhere near the level of the LKL [Lithuanian league], let alone the NBA" and they lack the "inner drive" to improve, Seskus added.

Odyssey FRGS804 Reviews
Pros: Good Protection,Stylish,Sturdy
I was a little hesitant to spend this much on this case, but wound up happy with the product. I thought I would have to drill holes in the sides in order to run my cables through, but I found out where the Odessey labels are, you can remove a screw, flip up the metal plate, and pull your cables through. Also with a flip of a bracket I can slide the top plate off so I can get access to the full top portion of the case. With the carpeted top on the slide tray I also found that I could just slap some velcro (which they provided a strip) on the bottom of my external hard drive, and now I don't need to worry about that disappearing into my case anymore.
As an added bonus I found I can fit my Gemini power scrubber in the last spot on the top rack and still plug power cords into the back of it. This allowed me to use the built in lights on the scrubber to shine down my board and now I don't have to worry about an external light source.
If you have doubts, get rid of them, this will work for what you want it for.
Sliding rack compromized!
Pros: Stylish,Good Protection,Compact,Sturdy
Sliding tray is too close to sound board. It won't slide over XLR & 1/4" cables. So you can't bring Lap Top to it's full forward position.

For more than 50 years, Martha and I have been on the water, sailing, power boating and always bringing our dinghy along. Towing, and dragging it on the deck, or on davits, was tedious. The davits were the best system available at the time, and unfortunately, a two-person job. Hauling on the blocks and tackles, and keeping it off the swim platform was tiresome. When we were in suboptimal conditions it was challenging trying to secure the dinghy, so that it wouldn’t swing. As the years went by, it stopped being fun, and we started looking for “A BETTER WAY.”
After some time, many notes and drawings, and lying in bed at 3:00 am, working out the kinks, the first prototype of the Dinghy Butler was installed on our 38' Eastbay, Catnapped. A boating season led us to the second generation Dinghy Butler. This modified system includes a high quality Superwinch with synthetic cable, wedges fashioned from high density polypropylene and a high quality remote control system. This system WORKS!!! It is simple to install and operate, and holds the dinghy securely.
The Dinghy Butler offers single-handed, wireless remote operation; stability; the ability to carry our 10 foot rigid inflatable with a 15 horsepower outboard; and a quick release system. Launching the dinghy happens with the push of a button!
The Dinghy Butler is delivered with most everything you or your installer will need for installation!
There are festivals, there are festivals, and then there are WINE festivals. It is of course the latter that draws me like a moth to a flame. It is also something South Africa does with panache. They have wine and food festivals, fizz and oyster festivals, the Bastille day wine festival, Shiraz and charcuterie festivals, Shiraz and jazz festival, they even have famous bands hosting concerts at wineries. In short if you can imagine it, they host it.
My first accidental wine festival encounter was when I lived in South Africa, we used to go camping in Robertson, a little known but beautiful river valley a few hours in land of Cape Town. It was a small, quiet, one road kinda place back then but dotted with beautiful wineries, the perfect weekend escape (from idyllic Cape Town!)
It was the first weekend of June, a sunny winter weekend and we pitched our tent at our favourite campsite. Saturday morning we went to visit a winery and they told us that this weekend was in fact the inaugural ‘wacky wine weekend’. We paid 10 rand for a wine glass which hung around our neck on a lanyard and were told that included in the price was a tasting at each winery we visited, and as an added bonus there were ‘activities’ going on at each individual farm. I was immediately suspicious imagining ‘pet a goat’ and ‘guess how many sweets are in the jar’ type activities. Oh how wrong I was!

AVL Director Donna Cox presented at two TEDx events held on the University of Illinois campus: TEDxUIllinois on April 1 (Beckman Auditorium) and TEDxUIUC on April 10 (Deloitte Auditorium). TEDx events are licensed local spinoffs of the international TED phenomenon, which promotes “big ideas worth sharing.”
If $200 million was considered cheap for a yacht, one can well imagine the cost of the world’s most expensive. The Rising Sun belongs to Hollywood producer David Geffen. Complete with wine cellar, Movie Theater and 82 rooms spread over 5 floors, the price tag could well be compared to the GDP of a small nation. It shows the diverse nature of money, where a country may require that much for development, a man uses it to buy a boat.
Guess who owns this beautiful item. Its owner is none other than Steven Spielberg. The fact that the Seven Seas has just seven opulent suites to accommodate 12 guests reflects its exclusivity having been designed for the purpose. Apart from the usual luxury, it also features a gymnasium, a helipad, and a private deck meant especially for its owner to revel in isolation. Perhaps this is where he gets those bouts of creativity.
A yacht with 24 karat gold lettering embellished on its name has to be in this list of most expensive yachts in the world. Well, maybe there’s too much money going around for such people to think up anymore ideas for the extravagance. Owned by Saudi Billionaire, Nassar Al Rashid, mystery enshrouds the Lady Moura well like its name. Built for a 30 guest accommodation, the Yacht runs on approximately 7000 HP engines which is extremely impressive in terms of power.
Now this is one Yacht whose ownership will surprise you more than the luxuries of the vessel itself. It’s owned by the Prime Minister of Qatar Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jabbar Al Thani. A name as large as his yacht, it makes one wonder that in some parts of the world, politics does pay huge dividends. The AL Mirquab contains 10 bedrooms, including a VIP suite.
The Dilbar is named after the Mother of Russian tycoon Alisher Usmanov. Over 360 feet long and towering up to a height of 50 feet, the Dilbar is one of the most expensive yachts and contains every luxurious amenity worth its exorbitant price. With a helipad, this yacht can easily accommodate 20 guests. Counted among the world’s largest and most expensive yachts, it goes to show that Russians aren’t far behind in making their mark on the world’s elitist scene.
It isn’t surprising that a Sultan would possess a yacht worth 300 million dollars. The sultan of Oman is no stranger to expensive toys and the Al Said is his finest yet. Built from super structure construction of pure aluminum, it can reach a speed of 22 knots. The Al Said can easily accommodate 70 persons excluding a 154 member crew. It also has a concert hall for a fully-fledged Orchestra.
Here’s another Russian making it to the list at no 4. Billionaire Andrei Melchenko is the proud owner of the awesome Superyacht A. With super luxurious interiors featuring almost every possible amenity you could imagine, it could well put a five star deluxe hotel suite to shame. Swimming pools, smaller boats for recreation and the latest digital technology systems, make this yacht a really superb one. Superyacht A accommodates 14 guests and 42 crew members.
nown earlier as the Golden Star, this amazing beauty now called the Dubai is owned by one of the wealthiest men in the world – the Sheikh of Dubai. Complete with a health spa, swimming pools and a helipad, the vessel is akin to a luxurious city which can easily accommodate 115 people. The yacht holds the distinction of being the second largest yacht in the world.
A whopping 1.2 billion dollars is enough to take anyone’s breath away and for a yacht!!! This monstrosity is owned by Russian Billionaire Roman Abromavich and even has its personal defense system completed with intruder detection software. The software uses light technology to block photographs too. Accommodating 24 guests, the large vessel has two helipads and even a private submarine. What next????
Now this is truly a Billion dollar yacht and the most expensive and amazing vessel floating on water. Still under construction, this is a virtual mini floating city. It features a go karting track, an artificial lake, a replica of the Monaco grand prix, casinos and everything actually representing the streets of Monaco. Spread over a length of 550 feet, it also contains tennis courts, spas, cafes and swimming pools. This is one baby that all the rich boys in the world are waiting patiently to call their own.

Rules of Baseball:-
Similar to cricket, baseball is a competition between a pitcher (bowler) and batter (batsman). The pitcher needs to get the batter out while the batter needs to score runs. The team that scores more runs wins.
Each team has 9 players
Each team plays a minimum of 9 innings each. If the scores are level after 9 innings, extra innings are played till a winner is decided
The number of outs (wickets) in each innings are 3 per team
2. Understanding Batting:
If a batter hits the ball in play (ahead of the foul line), he HAS to run towards first base. A new batter will come up to home plate after him
A run is scored every time someone from the batting team crosses the 'home plate'. This can happen only after the player crosses 1st, 2nd and 3rd base successfully.
Upto 4 players (1 batter + 3 runners) from the batting team can be on the pitch (on each base). This is known as 'bases loaded'.
If the batter hits the ball out of the ground, it is called a Home Run. The batting team scores runs based on the number of players they have on the field. For example, if they have 4 players, they will score 4 runs.
Another strategy unique to baseball is called base stealing. Base stealing mostly occurs when a runner advances to the next base while the pitcher is pitching the ball
3. Understanding Pitching:
There are three ways to get batters out
Strike Out - This is when the pitcher lands the ball in the strike zone and the batter misses three times in a row. If the batter swings and misses, it is also considered a strike no matter where the ball is. If the batter hits the ball behind the foul line, it is considered a strike EXCEPT on the 3rd strike, in which case he will get another hit.
Caught Out - Exactly like cricket, a batter is caught out when any player from the pitching team catches the ball without bouncing after the batter hits it
Force Out/Tag Out (similar to run out) - A batter or runner is forced out or tagged out while advancing bases. The opposition is able to get him out by throwing the ball to a fielder at the upcoming base or if he is 'tagged' by the member of the opposing team while attempting to reach the next base. It is possible to get two or three outs as well (referred to as a double-play and a triple-play)
4. 'Pitch Vs Ball' And Walking:
It is important to understand the terminology of baseball. A legitimate delivery is called a 'pitch' while an illegal delivery is called a 'ball'. A ball refers to any delivery that lands outside the strike zone AND the batter does attempt to play it. Delivering 4 'balls' to the same batter results in a 'walk' - which means the batter advances to 1st base freely. If a pitcher hits the batter's body even once, the batter straightaway gets a walk.
5. Creating Your Team:
Every baseball team you create on Dream11 has to have 9 players, of which a maximum of 6 players can be from any one team playing a real-life match.
6. Player Combinations:
Your Dream11 can have different combinations of players but has to be within the 100 credit cap and must qualify the following team selection criteria.
Outfielder 2 5
Infielder 2 5

7. Captain and Vice-Captain Points:
Once you have selected your 9 players, you will have to assign a captain and vice-captain for your team.
How dream11 gives fantasy points:
Single (1B) Batter reaches first base
Double (2B) Batter reaches second base 6
Triple (3B) Batter reaches third base 10
Home Run (HR) Batter hits it out of the park or reaches back to home base 12
Runs Batted In (RBI) Batter on strike caused one or more runs to be scored 3 3
Run Scored (R) Player crosses home base to score a run. 3
Base on Balls (BBH) or Walk A walk (or base on balls) occurs when a pitcher throws 4 'balls' or illegal deliveries to the same batter 4
Stolen Base (SB) Runner advances to next base while pitcher is pitching 8
Inning Pitched (IP) The pitcher gets 3 batters outs. The pitcher gets 1 point per out.
Strikeout (SO) The pitcher throws three strikes to get a batter out 2
Earned Run (ER) Run conceded by the pitcher -3
Hit Allowed (H) When a batter reaches 1st, 2nd or 3rd base (or hits a home run) -1
Base on Balls (BBP) or Walk A walk occurs when a pitcher throws 4 'balls' or illegal deliveries to the same batter -1
Fantasy points will be awarded for all actions during a possible extra innings (if scores are tied after 9 innings are played by both teams)
Each batter will get points only for one of the following events - 1B, 2B, 3B or Home Run. A player will not score points for completing bases (1B to 2B, 2B to 3B, etc.) if he's not the batter on strike
Runs Batted In (RBI): When a Run is scored, the batter who was ' at base' (i.e. on strike), whose action caused the run to be scored, gets awarded an RBI. For example, a batter hits a double (2B) and his teammates are on 3rd base and 2nd base. In that play, if both his teammates reach home plate, his team gets 2 runs, while he gets awarded 2 RBIs. If he hits a home run (HR), then he and his teammates would reach home and the team gets 3 runs. The batter would get points for an HR, 3 RBI (2 for his teammate, and 1 for himself), and 1 Run.
Innings Pitched (IP): A pitcher is given 1/3rd an IP for each out he/she records. However, the way IP is displayed is a little different. For the first out, it is shown as 0.1 (which means 1/3), the 2nd is shown as 0.2 (which means 2/3) and the 3rd is shown as 1.0. In terms of fantasy points, 0.1 IP = 1 pt, 0.2 IP = 2pts, 1.0 IP = 3 pt, 1.1 IP = 4 pts, etc.
If a batter scores a home run, the pitcher gets points for Earned Run (ER) + Hit Allowed (H). For example, if there is only one batter on the field and he scores a home run, the pitcher will get -4 points. (-3 for Earned Run and -1 for Hit Allowed)
If a pitcher gets a strikeout, he will get a total of 3 points (2 for the strikeout + 1 for the out)
data is provided by reliable sources and once the match has been marked as completed i.e., winners have been declared, no further adjustments will be made. Points awarded live in-game are subject to change as long as the match status is 'In progress' or 'Waiting for review'.
Winners will be declared for matches where there is a result. A match usually has a result when a minimum of 5 innings are played by each side.
If a player is announced in starting lineup, but is replaced by another player before the match starts, the player who comes in as a replacement will get points for that match.
Hit By Pitch (HBP): There are no fantasy points for a Hit By Pitch (when a pitch hits the batter's body). The batter is given a walk to first base, but no points are awarded to either the batter or the pitcher

The Women Behind the Books | Room Magazine
Panofsky's book is the first to examine the role women played in shaping Canadian literary culture, and will be of great interest to those attentive to book and publishing history. That few of her figures are known to a wider audience underscores the volume's raison d'etre. The book's cast is Irene Clarke, Eleanor Harman, Frances Halpenny, Claire Pratt, Sybil Hutchinson, Anna Porter, and Bella Pomer. Panofsky traces how these seven "trailblazers" helped foster a modern Canadian literature and set the stage for women's now wide – if not dominant – place in publishing. Though employed across firms at different times, with their own unique professional styles, each woman changed Canadian publishing by adopting new ways of acquiring titles, handling manuscripts, championing emerging writers, and developing book design. Panofsky animates each woman's career by weaving together research, interviews, and rich social history, moving chronologically through the 20th century and concluding with a snapshot of the present. The book is comprehensive and marshals admiration for a group of talented, determined, and inventive professionals who understood publishing as both a business and an art.

Columbus ship replica visiting - Lewiston Sun Journal
Columbus ship replica visiting
The historic-era ship, which is paying Maine a four-day visit, is opposed by some.
PORTLAND (AP) – A replica of one of Christopher Columbus' ships sailed into Portland Tuesday for a four-day stop in the vessel's first visit to Maine.
The 94-foot Nina will open up for visitors to see replicas of artifacts used during the 1490s, including compasses, jewelry boxes and maps.
Visitors also can view a 17-minute video and read articles about the ship and Columbus' navigational skills.
"We stress and the crew stresses the navigational and seamanship skills of the early explorers," said Morgan Sanger, senior captain of the Nina. "We're talking about sailing, we're talking about a beautiful ship."
That hasn't prevented the ship from becoming a magnet for protests in other ports by Indians who view Columbus as an oppressor rather than a discoverer.
No protests are planned in Maine, but the visit is opposed by some.
"When we see people celebrating this on a large scale, even Columbus Day, it's offensive," said William Phillips, chief of the Aroostook Band of Micmacs.
Phillips said Columbus represents the beginning of oppression and the taking of land. He said that if the ship's builders, the Columbus Foundation, cared about representing the history of seamanship, they would have found another ship from that era to reproduce.
"By picking Christopher Columbus, to me, it's still glorifying a man who was just a murderer, controller and a thief," Phillips said.
But Robert Norrell of Scarborough, who is also a Micmac, said the boat carries historical significance, even if the idea of Columbus "doesn't set well with the accurate history of our culture."
"It's good that it brings attention to that particular era and the history. And if that brings out an awareness of our culture, it's a good thing as long as the history is told accurately," Norrell said. "I think it's good for the school children to learn as much accurate history as they possibly can."
The original Nina sailed with the Pinta and the Santa Maria under Columbus, who was looking for a route to India when he accidentally sailed to the Caribbean in 1492. The Columbus Foundation, Inc., a private foundation based in the British Virgin Islands, built, owns and operates the replica.
The Nina will dock at Portland Yacht Services and be open for self-guided tours from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Wednesday through Sunday.
Tickets are $4 for adults, $3.50 for seniors, $3 for children ages 5-18. Children under 4 are free. No parking is available at Portland Yacht Services.

The problem of describing the motion of multiple bodies under mutual gravitational influence has been of interest since the times of Newton. Modern theory and computers have allowed special insight into the special case of a mass-less object flying in the presence of 2 massive bodies moving in circular orbits. It is under this framework known as the Circular Restricted Three Body Problem that interesting phenomena such as Lagrange points, periodic orbits, and gravitational flow manifolds arise. Mission designers can exploit these natural phenomena to create innovative low cost trajectories.

my LOR file is finally complete. feels like a movie where you need to put all these pieces together, and something magic (hopefully) happens.
I'm in your boat and then some! I have 18 secondaries completed, and all of my LORs have been sitting in my premedical office for a couple weeks now, however the premed committee doesn't at my school is not sending out the packets for another couple weeks (they do everyone's at once).
So I'm just hoping it won't hurt my chances. I agree, this is a very needed thread...I think there are a lot of us out there!
I'm so very frustrated with my premed committee, which can't send out stuff when I ask until like 3 weeks later when it's pretty late. I'm also feeling pretty uncomfortable with the fact that some of my med schools are giving out invitations to interview already and I haven't got one yet.
Don't ya worry! Echoing what someone else said earlier, us SDNers are a very small group of exceptionally overachieving applicants. Most of the people I know that are applying this year haven't even finished their AMCAS yet. Like you, I've completed 8 secondaries so far and have many on deck!!!!! And 4 of my 5 letters are yet to be finished by my professors/supervisor/coordinator. So hang in there!!!! I'm sure I'll be dropping by here periodically to vent!
just a little sumtin sumtin from a reapplicant ... last year was basically the amcas year from hell and basically messed up completely on my application .. anyways so i awas in the same boat last year.. my recs weer not in etc and didnt end up comleting my app until mid september which mean the med schools didnt "process" my application until november .. and for me my stats are extremely borderline. if you are like me i would say get your stuff in ASAP!!! ive heard that med schools lagg big time , that even if your app is complete they lag in terms of giving it to adcom.. sooo i dont mean to scare anyone but the biggest advise straight from the med schls mouths is that get YOUR STUFF IN EARLY!!! so be on top of the med schools as far as making sure they have your materials. another horror story last year i surprisingly got a secondary from UCSF .. turned in everything in september... turns out they never got it.. and i didnt check up until january.. and i think that lateness surely wiped out my chances.. well anyways good luck everyone and please dont make the same mistakes i did. i dont wish this re-application process on anyone . GOOD LUCK
I'm in the same boat as ya'all.....I've turned in ~8 secondaries, have a few more to turn in, and am waiting on a few more. Still no invitations to interview. I'd really really like to interview in Sept. of Oct as others have said is good in other threads, but then again, those other people are probably the "gunners" of SDN. The normal people are probably in the same boat as us or just getting the AMCAS turned in after taking/retaking the MCAT. So we're all probably doing just fine.

Find out Fiorentina knives
Well, it seems obvious that it is all about a knife that celebrates the famous Tuscan steak. It would be a blasphemy to face this cut of meat with a knife that would not match up the acceptable standards. Imagine using a serrated knife that would spill the exquisite juices on the plate, wasting the attentive cooking efforts that aim at keeping them. The Fiorentina 55-57 HRC hardness steel, along with a perfect hand-made sharpening from our craftsmen, ensures prodigious cutting attributes.

Back up optic placement?
Thread: Back up optic placement?
10-03-18, 22:30 #1
I'm curious where people prefer to mount their backup micro dot/MRDS when running a medium power optic?
Do you prefer scope tube/scope mount mounted or a 45 degree offset from the top rail (where many put their sights)?
Which do you find faster? Which is more accurate? Which is more natural? What are the pros and cons of each position?
10-04-18, 06:02 #2
I thought about going with a red dot as a backup optic after adding LPVOs but decided not to spend the coin. If I did, I was going to use an offset 45 degree mount. One of the biggest draw backs is how high the dot would be if it was mounted on top of the scope. You'll have like 3 inches of hold over on close range shots which is just weird. Offset keeps it somewhere close to normal holds with a 12 o'clock mounted dot.

My Journal and Adventure: September 2009
Serene lifestyle of Ipoh
12 Sept 09 - Life in Ipoh is certainly a blessing. If you ever notice my photos, my tummy is starting to fill up. Hahaha :-) I have been enjoying great food and nice outdoor activities lately. Ipoh is not as bad as some people may have dubbed it. In fact, it is filled with excitement, if you take your time to explore the possibilities.
Just last week, I went for a dip with my family in Tambun Hot Spring which is next to The Lost World Leisure park in Tambun. Only RM 5 per entry and, yupp!!! You are free to enjoy it as long as you want. (or till your skins start peeling off like boiled potato, =) )
Then later that night, I went out to celebrate my mate's birthday (Derek Ho). We had the best chocolate cake ever from Gold Vision. It was celebrated in Kopitiam Junction at Ipoh Parade.
Ohh..some updates on my dog - Ah Bee. He has a new home now. It was a crate imported all the way from UK (United Kingdom and not Ulu Kelang). At least he has a shelter now. Keeps us peaceful when it rains cats and dogs, as he usually howls as he gets showered with rain.
A little update about my work. Someone left us last week after working for about 9 years. I must say it is a little upset to see someone go. We had a farewell dinner in Moven Peak. She was my senior before I join the company about 6 years back. So, now when I join the company again after leaving it for 3 years, she is leaving us for a greener pasture. I wish her every success in her future endeavour. This dinner is one of a kind. Never had we ever gather up so many colleagues from Dept 1 for dinner before. So unfortunate that is has to happen when someone leaves.

Joan, Countess of Toulouse — Wikipedia. What is Joan, Countess of Toulouse
Joan (1220[1] – Castle of Corneto near Siena, 25 August 1271), was Countess of Toulouse from 1249 until her death. She was the only child of Raymond VII, Count of Toulouse by his first wife Sancha of Aragon, Countess of Toulouse.
After the confirmation of his betrothal, Joan was thereafter brought up at the French royal court. She was thereby not a part of the Occitanian culture, felt no sympathy for the Albigensians and did nothing to prevent the hunt of them issued by the Inquisition. The date of the formal marriage is not confirmed; both 1234 and 1241 have been suggested, but the former is considered more likely.[citation needed] The couple had no issue.

The Establishment of Native Plant Species for Livestock Forage and Wildlife Habitat in Silvopasture Systems - SARE Grant Management System
The Establishment of Native Plant Species for Livestock Forage and Wildlife Habitat in Silvopasture Systems
GNC19-289
Funds awarded in 2019: $14,944.00
Grant Recipients: University of Missouri; The Curators of the University of Missouri
Amanda Jo Talbot
Dr. Harley Naumann
Silvopasture Virtual Field Day Video Part 1 (Multimedia)
Silvopasture Virtual Field Day Video Part 2 (Multimedia)
This project will evaluate the establishment of native plant species for livestock forage and wildlife habitat in a silvopasture system. A mix of native cool and warm season grasses, forbs, and legumes will be planted in two treatments (black walnut and pitch-loblolly pine) of mature silvopasture systems. The rate of establishment beneath each canopy type will be compared to an open pasture control. Forage nutritive value (fiber, protein and digestibility) will be measured.
Giving talks and presentations at university agriculture research center field days will be the main source of outreach to farmers and ranchers, as these are heavily attended events by the target audience. A video chronicle of the project produced and posted on social media pages hosted by the College of Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources (CAFNR) will allow producers the opportunity to learn, comment, ask questions, and stay updated on project progress throughout the year. Attendees of field days and other meetings will be given pre- and post-presentation surveys to determine the level of knowledge gained for the different aspects of our project. Questions on the surveys will help provide reflection on whether or not the project outcomes have been met.
There are four main outcomes related to farmers and ranchers for this project. First, they will learn how to establish native species in a silvopasture system to use as forage for livestock. Second, farmers and ranchers will be able to use these newly learned practices to incorporate pollinator-friendly species into their own existing forage-livestock systems, and that some may consider managing existing timber land to create a silvopasture system for improved land management and livestock use. Being able to produce two commodities (timber and forage for grazing/haying) on the same amount land where previously only one had been produced allows farmers and ranchers to expand their enterprise and increase their economic value without having to purchase more acres. Incorporating the native plant species as a forage choice draws pollinators to the area creating a more aesthetically pleasing environment for wildlife habitat while improving quality of life for the people and their livestock.
The goals of this project are that farmers and ranchers:
Learn how to establish native species best suited to the shade environment of different silvopasture systems to use as forage for livestock that will also serve as an attraction to pollinators.
Learn the benefits of having established native forages in silvopasture.
Are able to use these newly learned practices into action to incorporate pollinator-friendly species into their own existing forage-livestock systems.
Consider managing their existing timber land to develop a silvopasture system for improved land management and livestock use.

What are the implications of not paying tithing? - StayLDS.com
Joined: 05 Nov 2015, 16:05
Post by sdj » 25 Jan 2018, 15:55
Haven't posted anything in a long time but continue to lurk occasionally for support. (Thanks to everyone who posts regularly. It really helps.)
About a year ago we got a new bishop. He is a really great guy that I like a lot. I felt like I could talk to him about my unbelief which I did. It went really well. By this time I had been EQ president for almost 2 years. He asked if I wanted to be released. I told him sure. He asked if there was a calling I would be comfortable with and so now I'm a 3rd hour Nursery leader. (My youngest is in there)
Something that has really been bothering me is tithing. Every time I go to pay online I feel anger. I don't think its healthy. After all its supposed to be a donation. Brought it up with my wife and she agreed that it would be hard for me to pay when I don't really believe. What would be the implications of not being a full-tithed member? Obviously I wouldn't be able to renew my temple recommend but what else? Would this affect my priesthood? Can I baptize and confirm my kids?
Post by DarkJedi » 25 Jan 2018, 16:08
Yep, no TR. Baptism/confirmation are a bit more tricky. The wording in the handbook says something like a man needs to be "temple worthy" (which doesn't necessarily mean actually having a TR) to confirm. BUT there is some leeway there for the bishop, and it sounds like yours might be a bit lenient. It does not affect your priesthood per se, but could affect the callings extended. However, when I was called as a high councilor I did not hold a TR. Good old leadership roulette always factors in these situations.
Post by Roy » 25 Jan 2018, 17:55
Long story short - I have not paid tithing since my FC. I do not have a TR. DW does pay tithing on her income.
There is significant discretion for the bishop in authorizing baptism/confirmation performance. If he feels you are honest, sincere, continuing to struggle, search, and strive for belief - he may be more likely to grant permission. If he feels that you are a stubborn, bitter, recalcitrant, and possibly dangerous wolf in sheep's clothing he has the discretion to deny your performance of your kid's baptism and there is (IMO) very little chance of appeal. I always strive for giving my bishop the first and more favorable impression.
I also understand that certain callings (like EQ president) require a TR.
Then there is the awkward matter of the tithing settlement. The bishop must identify you as full, part, or no tithe payer and if at all possible will want that information coming from you. Because you pay online it may be possible to reduce the amount you pay to something you feel more comfortable with and not arouse suspicion (since the bishop may not see this transaction paper trail). There are multiple ways to define full tithing. Gross, Net, or Increase/Net Worth Growth. Tithing settlement is supposed to be a yes/no question because how to formulate tithing is officially between the individual and the Lord. However some bishops may ask follow-up questions particularly if they have reason to be suspicious. If the bishop has reason to delve into how you define "full tithe" and he does not agree with your definition there may be tension and unintended consequences.
I always go in first for tithing settlement before my family and explain to the bishop that I have not paid tithing but that DW is a full tithe payer and we encourage our children to pay tithing. We chat for a bit before inviting my family in to join us. My family declare as full tithe payers. I believe that this helps for the bishop to see me more sympathetically and treat me more compassionately.
Post by AmyJ » 26 Jan 2018, 07:16
I think that the online statements now filter into the actual amount listed on the paperwork - so whether you pay online or by envelope, I think the result ends up being the same as far as the reporting goes.
We are not great at paying tithing promptly - tend to get around to it every 3-6 months (ish). A few months ago we got a huge (for us) unexpected windfall from a former company I used to work for after not paying tithing for 3-6 months. I couldn't help give a chuckle over the "Lord blessing us financially when we pay our tithing" spiel backfiring because we hadn't paid in so long and got a financial blessing that of course was up there with the miracles usually associated with tithing. My husband is mentally comfortable thinking along the lines that "the Lord knew we could use the money and gave it to us as a gentle prod to remember to pay tithing" sort of thinking to make it work in his narrative. I just smile and nod while thinking the financial windfall HAS NOTHING TO DO with tithing and leave it at that.
Post by Sheldon » 26 Jan 2018, 15:10
There are two ways to pay "online" One is through the church's web site "LDS.org". The bishop will see everything you pay (or don't pay) via this method. The other way is through "bill pay" via your financial institution. This requires the financial department at the COB to set up a bill pay account for you. It takes some paperwork, and they do not advertise it since it requires more manual labor on their side. But this method is complete anonymous if you request it, and the ward sees nothing. This was implemented for very wealthy donors to pass money to the church without a nosey bishop seeing what was going on.
But the bill pay is very easy to use, and is set up just like any other bill pay account you have with your bank. I have it set up for myself (not that I'm wealthy), and all I do is go to my credit union web site, and click the bill pay tab, and then select LDS Tithing, and enter an amount. It transfers directly from my credit union account to the church.
Post by Sheldon » 26 Jan 2018, 15:19
Here is a very nuanced way of looking at tithing found at Pure Mormonism blog . I am NOT endorsing this method of calculating your tithing, but only offer it up as another way some people are doing it.
Post by mom3 » 26 Jan 2018, 19:20
We are on the second of Sheldon's options. We began long before faith transition. I love it. Back in the good old days when we were TBM we always just submitted an annual stock option. We did try to match the effort to a tenth, but were lenient.
Today I donate money to humanitarian, and let the stock options collect interest.
Post by Holy Cow » 26 Jan 2018, 22:04
I pay extra towards fast offering and a local charity, rather than paying tithing, and I've let the bishop know my reasons. I also do not wear garments. No TR for me. However, I was able to baptize my daughter. I was not able to do the confirmation, but didn't really want to anyway, so it worked out nicely. The bishop also told me I could confer the priesthood for my son if he ever decides that he wants to get the priesthood, but I would prefer not to do that. I'll let my father do that if it ever comes up.

I just had a funny idea. I might actually give it a try. What if instead of paying the full-mandatory 10% tithing, we gave the Church a 9% donation? That way, it would really be a donation. No obligation, no strings attached, nothing to hold over your head anymore. And that makes the Church more responsible, in my mind, with what they do.
To answer your questions, that is entirely up to your Bishop, and maybe your Stake President. There are just guidelines for the Church Leaders, on the exercise of priesthood, and all of it is to be weighed against the spiritual strength and belief of the member. As long as you haven't been exed (and even that is up for debate), you can still exercise your priesthood as much as you'd like within your own home. At the same time, I'd recommend meeting those fears head on. If you don't believe enough to pay tithing, I don't think it's pleasing to God or healthy for anyone to pretend otherwise. Spiritually, I feel it is better to follow your conscience, recogizing you might make a mistake, than to live against it.

Thomson Gale Brings Demographics Database to the Library
Widely used business database now available to library users.
Until now, Geographic Business Intelligence Solutions have only been affordable by large corporations
Farmington Hills, MI (PRWEB) March 30, 2007
With a growing number of students studying entrepreneurship and business, and with the increase in small business ownership throughout the U.S., the need for up-to-date resources on demographic estimates, consumer expenditure and retail sales potential for all level of geography across the U.S. is at a premium. To meet this need, Thomson Gale is making DemographicsNow Library Edition, a comprehensive Web-based solution offering a wealth of consumer and business information, available to libraries across the country.
DemographicsNow Library Edition will be provided in conjunction with SRC, LLC of Orange, CA, a leading developer and provider of geographic business intelligence technology and solutions. Thomson Gale is a part of Thomson Learning.

In addition to business use, it also can provide cultural patterns and sociological trends in cities around the U.S.
"Studying or starting a business involves demographic research, much of which has been hard to find in one consolidated place," said Dean Stoecker, President and CEO of SRC. "If an entrepreneur is opening a family restaurant and wants to compare two cities, DemographicsNow Library Edition provides the information needed to make an educated decision about the best city to locate the business based on demographics. If a student needs demographic information for an assignment or presentation, DemographicsNow Library Edition can provide results in pre-packaged selections for easy access to the most comprehensive consumer and market insight.

Everest Textiles | Textile Production
Everest announced its plans to open a U.S. sports fabric weaving plant in 2016. The Taiwanese company took over a vacant, 400,000-square-foot industrial building in Forest City, North Carolina, creating an operation that supplies customers and brands like Nike, Columbia and Patagonia with finished fabrics that are turned into innovative active wear and sports apparel. Everest needed a simple and efficient method to feed its looms with yarn and fabric rolls, also known as beams, which can weigh 2,000 lbs. or more. As in its other operations around the world, Everest Textile required an overhead crane to move the yarn beams.
The Application: Low-cost labor in developing nations makes textile manufacturing a low margin business. So, when Taiwan-based Everest Textiles announced plans to open a U.S. sports fabric weaving plant in North Carolina that would employ more than 600 U.S. workers, a focus on efficiency was key – from construction of the facility, all the way to how yarn rolls would be moved and loaded into looms.
While the mid-Atlantic region was once home to many textile operations, globalization and low-cost labor in Asia had forced nearly all the region's textile mills to move operations overseas. Everest's plans to set up a weaving operation in the U.S. required scale and efficiency to profitably supply top brands with the latest fabrics. As a result, the Everest Textile facility incorporated more than 600 looms when it first opened in late 2017, with hundreds more planned as operations scaled up.
As a crane system designer and engineer with more than 25 years of experience, Mike assumed that a C-track festoon crane would likely meet Everest's needs. But when he visited the old industrial mill Everest planned to renovate, there was a problem.
The Challenge: "The ceiling was low," Mike said. While the height was 20 feet, there was also a 24-inch reduction due to water piping and other conduit running across the ceiling. Once Mike saw that, he knew that a normally less expensive festoon crane would prove to be just the opposite, leading to a cascade of unexpected costs, from expensive structural changes to the building to additional heating, ventilation and air conditioning costs. The reason, Mike said, is due to the design of C-track festoon cranes.
Traditional C-track festoon crane systems are supplied with power via cables secured in small trolleys that run inside a track. With this design, the cables hang below the bridge girder, typically by several feet. In facilities that offer plenty of overhead clearance, festoon cabling causes no issues. In facilities with lower ceilings or limited clearance, however, Mike said even a few inches can mean the difference between a workable solution, and a crane that breaks down from festoon cable snagging on pipes, wiring, shelving and equipment.
The Solution: Facing the issue of limited clearance, HSI turned to R&M Materials Handling for an NRGmaster crane, which Mike said is the ideal solution for retrofit facilities like Everest Textile's where height restrictions make installing a standard festoon crane cost prohibitive.
"The NRGmaster has a clean design and it's very easy to install," Mike said. "And R&M is just a good experience. Anytime we have the choice, we choose R&M."
The design of the NRGmaster crane incorporates an energy chain power system that requires no additional ceiling or overhead clearance. Its power and control cables are enclosed in a flexible "energy chain," which rests in a guide channel that is fastened to the web of the bridge girder. The free end of the chain bends into a U-shape and connects to the hoist tow arm, while the other end fastens to the channel. This enables the chain to roll back and forth inside the guide channel as the hoist travels from one side of the bridge girder to the other.
While HSI installed an NRGmaster at Everest Textile with 2-ton capacity, Mike said he's used the crane in heavier industry applications because it can be ordered with a capacity up to 80 tons. The NRGmaster can also accommodate two hoists per bridge beam and, Mike said, it's quiet.
"That makes a big difference for safety in a busy plant," Mike said. "I could stand next to you and have a quiet conversation when it's running and we would have no problems."
HSI also outfitted the NRGmaster with a Racon 3 radio control unit. A handheld remote control, Mike said the Racon 3 dramatically improves safety and productivity over older cranes that have to be operated from a fixed point, like an overhead cab, while requiring a second person to be in communication with the crane operator about load movement and placement.
The Racon 3 has an ergonomic design that provides operators with one-hand usability through the integration of a joystick element. Providing a comfortable grip, crane operators can focus completely on the load while controlling the crane from the safest location with no restriction of a fixed-length push button controller cable.
"It has just a few controls so it's a simple design that more people can operate," Mike said. "It's also safer because you're on the floor and can see the load at all times with no line-of-sight restrictions."
The Results: Since the install, Nick said the crane has saved Everest time and led to high levels of productivity as yarn beams are switched in and out of looms. In fact, Everest is so pleased with the setup that plans call for a second NRGmaster to be installed when production begins in a mezzanine level of the plant.

Terry Evans – Increased consciousness
2 april, 2015 12:49 / Terry Evans
I was at the Harmony-expo in Solna this weekend working with Ascala Magazine, many people came up to our table and talked about the last an investigation I did in Norrköping for TV-program Det Okända. So many people were curious and they were bombarding me with questions about it. Two or three people even came up to me and told me that they had lived in the area, that they had experienced things there and how they had been frightened because they did not understand what was happening. They were curious to know if there had been any further activity after the last visit there with Lena Ranehag and Vendela Cederholm.
What I realized was that more and more people are opening up to the need to understand what all this phenomenon is about. Some wondered why it cannot just be cleaned up in one easy move. There are many that cannot understand why it does not just go away simply. People in general are becoming more and more sensitive and conscious about paranormal activity, and are seeing more things in their everyday life. That is why I asked about it in my last posting: What experiences have you had?
I have asked the spirit world many times: Why is this happening? Their answer to me has been: To make people more conscious that these other dimensions exists. So they want us to learn how to manage our experiences and understand the purpose with them. As our consciousness evolves then of course we will become much more aware of things that are going on around us that cannot be perceived or seen by our so-called normal senses. For what I have seen I have reached a conclusion that our dimension and the spirit world are drawing closer together. So we as a human beings can learn to live in the here and now and at the same time become aware of this vast recourse these other spirit dimensions have to offer.
I feel there is almost a spiritual and cultural revolution taking place. People want to know more about what is beyond intellect and logic. We are no longer ready to only accept traditional ways of thinking or believing. With each generation the consciousness is expanding and as that happens, tradition no longer can answer our questions. It is almost as if some traditions are becoming redundant. I believe that is why at the fair, this last weekend, so many people came up to me and asked questions. The feeling I got was that they want to create and work with a belief system that feels natural for them. We cannot stop this development, I believe.
We also need to learn to answer our own questions, but not by intellect but by experience. So in my own journey I have, through experience, discovered unbelievable aspects within myself and it has then also been important to activate them. The more I explore my different aspects the more my consciousness expands.
This evolution in consciousness is happening globally, on many different levels. In astrological terms we are now in the beginning of the Age of Aquarius when it is said we are going to become more conscious. I come to think of a couple of words from the song from the song Aquarius: Quality and understanding. I think that this whole era is about mankind learning to find different solutions, a new way of thinking and seeing.
For me Christmas, Easter or any kind of religious tradition is a reminder for us what our responsibility is and that a higher intelligence exists, whatever we choose to call it. This higher intelligence we believe in cannot do everything by itself, it requires our help. We must become part of that master plan, willing to cross new frontiers, be open-minded to accept new experiences and the challenges that lies before us. In so doing we will also be able to take a step closer to understanding the intention of the master plan.
This is what religious holidays like Easter reminds me of. So the Easter is meaningful, but what untold secrets does it carry in its message about Jesus? From hero, to crucifixion, to resurrection and the return to heaven on the third day. What message do those words give to you? I would like to hear what you have to say.
5 Thoughts on "Terry Evans – Increased consciousness"
Leann Berntsson on 3 april, 2015 at 08:24 said:
Happy Easter Terry! And hope all is well with you.
I have a question. How do you know when your gut feeling is the right one or just something you wish would be right. Reason why I ask is because offcourse love. I've known him for 9 years we use to joke one day we would get married. Latly things have been to say the least complicated because of fear for our 9 year friend ship and more. My feeling tell me to stay wait it out because I love him. That things will work out. But my friend who is spiritual says something totally diffrent. She's afraid I'm going to get hurt and that it's to complicated and so on. So leading back to my question am I blind to see that truth or is the fact that she's saying something diffrent from what I feel a test to follow my intuition. Would really love some feedback on this situation…
With love from Leann

Here Are Some Car-Related Valentines Guaranteed To Win Over Your Sweetheart*
2/13/16 1:30PM
With Valentine's Day coming up, finding the right words is crucial. Sometimes, it can be hard for us car enthusiasts to find partners who relate to our love of racing, speed and hard-to-fix mechanical problems. To help you out, here are some valentines that may explain your passion to your sweetheart—and your feelings, too.
The options listed below aren't the most heartfelt, and they certainly aren't the most flattering. But it's the thought that counts. If your special someone isn't a car person, these might explain where you're coming from. And if you did happen to find yourself a fellow car enthusiast, even better—he or she may actually get a laugh or two.
Either way, string one of these cards on a teddy bear and some chocolate and your partner won't give them a second thought. String one to a new car, your theme is even more prevalent. You'll look like you really planned this one out.
Straight From Teslove Motors
There are just too many good jokes that can be made with an electric car. "You electrify me." "You spark a fire inside of me... but please don't actually do that." The phrase "Your wish is my command" is good too due to the new summon feature on Teslas, but that's not a promise most of us want to put in writing.

In case you missed the recent Tesla news and wonder about all of the sexiness happening on that card, company head honcho Elon Musk told us all, in code, that he is "too S3XY" for everyone else. That code came from an announcement of additions to the Tesla lineup, with the "affordable" Model 3 and Model Y joining the pricier Model S and Model X. How S3XY.

Don't have someone to give this Teslove car to? That's OK. Tesla lost money in the last quarter, but Musk promised to bounce back this year. Promise the same for your love life, and you're off to a great start.
Faraday Wants A Future With You
So maybe your first date was a bit awkward. It happens! No reason to give up trying, right?
If anyone knows about not meeting expectations, it's Faraday Future and the FFZERO1. A few days prior to its debut at the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this year, images leaked of the car and it shocked everyone . Not in the "You don't look like your Instagram picture" way—in the "We sure hope you don't look like your picture" way. It was bad.
That ugly car showed up on stage, though. It was almost like landing a date with the mysterious person eying you from across the room, only to realize that the reason they spent so much time staring at you was because it was their first time out of mom's basement in a few years.
The FFZERO1 escorts delivered a painfully awkward presentation about their secretive-until-then company followed by some painfully awkward interviews on how Faraday Future's debut model looked like a Hot Wheels car. Even if you have the worst Valentine's Day date of your life, know it was not as bad as this.
Faraday Future Probably Shouldn't Do Interviews Yet
Wannabe electric automaker Faraday Future had amassed an impressive amount of hype going into CES,…
As for the actual consumer cars Faraday Future wants to produce, people within the company said we'll just have to wait and see what they bring to the market. That's essentially like a date saying, "I didn't feel a spark, but let me introduce you to my sibling. I think you'd like each other." Total crapshoot there.
But you shouldn't face too much competition for this shell of a car's love, if that's any comfort. People think it's kind of weird looking.
I Asked A Bunch Of Non-Car People What They Thought Of Faraday Future's Crazy Concept
When Faraday Future brought out its FFZERO1 concept car at the Consumer Electronics Show over the…
Volkswagen Is Totally Braggin' (On You)
The only response to this Valentine's Day card should be one saying, "Ooh baby, don't you know that you're toxic?" Photo of pre-2007 Britney Spears optional.
Volkswagen's ongoing drama of the Dieselgate scandal that surfaced in 2015 centers around defeat devices used in select Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche diesel engines, which limited emissions in the claimed clean-diesel cars.
(Alternative valentine message: TD-I can't even see myself without you!" Much nicer.)
The VW Group is dreaming up fixes now, and the company announced that it will not release financial data or hold its annual shareholder meeting until it can figure out the total costs of Dieselgate. Spoiler: probably expensive. But that's a good reason to cheap out on Valentine's Day, yes?
No matter the fixes, the high-profile attorney hired as head of claims for the Volkswagen diesel drama said most customers should accept the "generous" compensation packages because the whole deal boils down to a "business transaction." Ouch. That is not the language of love, friend.
Head Of VW Diesel Claims Says Most Will Accept Compensation Because It's A 'Business Transac...
While Volkswagen hasn't decided on the methods by which it will compensate the U.S. owners affected
The good thing about this particular card is that if your partner pays even the slightest attention to mainstream news, he or she should get a laugh. Also of note: The Road of Love pictured in the valentine card above lets you drive on the center dividing line (paved with hearts). Please do not do this on real roads.
Mr. & Mrs. Toyota, In A Weird Sort Of Way
At the beginning of this month of love, Toyota announced its decision to kill off one of its own. Kind of. How morbid. Starting this fall, the "youth-oriented" Scion brand that Toyota gave life in 2003 will be no more and all of its models will be rebranded as Toyotas. So, the act of Toyota giving Scion its name gives off a more weird, marriage-within-the-family vibe than a romantic one. (This valentine works great in Alabama, though.)
It's official: Toyota's ostensibly youth-oriented brand, Scion, will come to an end this year.…
For the Scion owners who just had the idea that a last-minute trade in could get you some extra gifting cash since the brand is now a "collectible," do not run out the door to buy that diamond-encrusted whatever just yet. There's an almost-sure chance that your Scion will not go up in value at all. Bummer.
What Will Happen To The Value Of My Scion?
Hello, good people of Jalopnik, and welcome to Letters to Doug, your weekly break from rational…
But this Toyota-Scion news isn't all bad, because it can teach us a good lesson before Valentine's Day. The Scion brand, overall, wasn't such a compelling one, and it's just getting an outfit change with the new badge on its nose.
Next time your partner's going-out look or outfit isn't a very compelling one either—specially if she's a woman—brush it off and remember that it will change for the better eventually. And she most definitely does not look fat in that dress. Or angry, in Scion's case.
Last week I reviewed the new Scion iM, and found it to be fine. Just fine. Looking at the current…
And if you got some tunes from the infamous Scion mix CDs while the brand was actually a thing, congratulations! Put on those romantic (?) tunes that have gathered dust on the shelf for the past 13 years, and you'll look like you had that playlist all set up for the candlelight dinner. Or, you can just cut your losses and send the CDs to us.
No matter how you celebrate Valentine's Day this year, just be thankful that your situation isn't as awkward as the ones that these manufacturers find themselves in. Except for being S3XY, like Tesla. Go forth and be S3XY.

Whoa..The Insane Profitability Of Popular Facebook Games [Infographic] | Bit Rebels
Whether you play Facebook games or not, I'm sure you are familiar with them. I prefer smartphone games to Facebook games, but I still get notifications about them constantly. Obviously they are profitable, but do you know how profitable? When I learned that Candy Crush rakes in $850,000 per day, I knew I had to share these stats with you. When Facebook games become popular, they also become insanely profitable.
Here's another crazy stat – 12% of Facebook's revenue comes from Zynga. After Facebook opened development to third-party developers in 2004, it became the platform for 14,000 apps within the first 8 months. Along with all of these new apps came a new way of interacting with friends and peers called social gaming. If you aren't sure what social gaming is all about, just click on one of the notifications that reads something like "Your friend Amy has invited you to play Farmville 2." But beware…once you click on that link to get started, you might never make it back to the real world.
Since 1 out of every 4 Facebook users plays Facebook games, it should come as no surprise that they are as profitable as they are. When you look a little deeper, the stats become even more interesting. For example, even though Candy Crush may bring in $850,000 per day, less than 70% of its users have ever purchased anything. I suppose it's just the serious gamers who finance it all for everyone else.
The power of Facebook has been obvious for quite a while now, but who knew it had enough influence to change the way we look at gaming too. This infographic called Facebook Games: You Know You're Addicted (by bestaccountingdegrees.net) sums it up nicely. It kinda makes you wonder how far this craze might go…

[ubuntu] Copy paste?
Thread: Copy paste?
Just formatted my Mac to run Ubuntu purely But I have a dilemma: how do I copy paste? I know I can highlight the text, right click, and say "copy" but that's cumbersome.
The good o'l command-c shortcut opens Dash Home.
So my question: is there a keyboard shortcut for copy/paste?
Re: Copy paste?
You can try Keyboard -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts and remove the shortcut for ctrl-c I am using 10.04
Fixed, used ctrl-c instead.
If you have a spearate mouse you might also want to try my favourite method of copy/paste in Linux, no keyboard shortcuts or menus required at all: Just highlight whatever text you want to copy, and middle-click where you want to paste it. This also works for terminal windows, where the normal ctrl-c and ctrl-v shortcuts can't be used for copy/paste.
Ah, yes, thanks mcduck! It's a lot more efficient than my clumsy ctrl shortcuts Adv Reply
Neet trick. Didn't know I could do this. Thanks!

AT&T customers like you have put AT&T's CEO Randall Stephenson in a real bind. After trying to punt the responsibility for enacting tougher robocall blocking protections to the FCC, the FCC made it perfectly clear in a statement: "There are no hurdles preventing AT&T from taking immediate action to block robocalls."
If AT&T tries to tell you that they already offer robocall blocking, make sure they know you want FREE, EFFECTIVE call-blocking tools to stop unwanted robocalls for everyone (not just the limited options they offer now).
AT&T knows they need to take action; they just don't want to put the time and money towards a solution.
06-21-2016 8:01 AM
I was an early adopter of Nomorobo and I love it! It does an outstanding job of picking up those annoying telemarketing calls and the ones from "Windows" wanting to "fix" my PC while letting the legit ones through. Our evenings are much more peaceful since Nomorobo came to town. And it works great with U-Verse and AT&T Mobile!
06-21-2016 11:40 AM
bbeaver61 - So how do you get it to work with ATT Mobile. All other posts on this conversation say it can't be done.
06-22-2016 9:22 AM
I easily set up Nomorobo about a month ago on my U-Verse landline and I'm just an every day senior citizen. ;-) Anyway, it is working well; however, I have learned that it is blocking calls from my county government, person was told to enter some numbers and still did not get through. This has happened several times.
Yesterday I was talking with a manufacturer with whom I working on an issue and they said they tried to call me and could not get through.
There may be other calls that should have come through, but didn't, but I have no way of knowing.
So, how do I correct this problem of important phone calls not coming through?
06-30-2016 7:51 PM
NOMOROBO is FANTASTIC!!! It blocks about 99.9% of solicitations and works just as it says it does. Try it - you won't be sorry!

With all the various scams on the internet these days its hard to actually determine the ligitimate calls from the fakes!
Rest assured folks nomorobo is the "REAL DEAL"!
I travel in my work and when i return home for the weekends we are usually bombarded with more calls than you could imagine.
Seriously, we receive from 15 to 25 spam calls in a day!! These calls are on Saturday & Sunday!!
Very Disgusting and frankly upsetting!
NOMOROBO has eliminated my spam calls!!
I have ATT wireless and i whope this service can be added to my wireless numbers as well!!
One of the best programs I have used in years! 99.9% effective!

Maybe NoMoRobo DID exactly what it says once -- but now NoMoRobo works great at blocking robocalls, so long as those robocalls come from anyone other than Cardholder Services. Calls from the infamous Cardholder Services scam go right through NoMoRobo without being blocked. It is absolutely amazing how effective NoMoRobo can be against the robocallers that they want to block - so amazing that you just have to wonder why it is that Cardholder Services calls get through every day without fail. Does Cardholder Services have some magic technology that beats NoMoRobo's filters or could the answer be much simpler? If the call centers making the Cardholder Services calls really did have some magic technology wouldn't they be selling their service to other companies. I can't say that NoMoRobo is working with Cardholder Services instead of blocking them, but I will say that all complaints pointing out that Cardholder Services robocalls consistently get through have been deleted from NoMoRobo's Facebook page and the complainers have been blocked from posting on the page. NoMoRobo's Facebook team tells people reporting problems that they need to contact the support email address, but all you get if you email their support address is an automatic reply telling you they are too busy to bother responding.

In any event if you are still receiving spam calls go to robo's site and
manually block it. I called their customer service number, they returned
my call and we discussed their services 15 minutes..
I averaged 15/25 calls per weekend from scammers..down to 1 last weekend.
I have manually blocked a couple. But I would say nomorobo has been a good
experience for our home..I would recommend it in a heartbeat to anyone.
If you don't like it disable it! Scammers switch number banks daily. If one
slips by, block it dude!
08-13-2016 8:56 AM
Maybe YOU need to take it easy on the insults (which are not acceptable here).
Then it would be good for you to recognize that you just might not be the only person in the entire world who is technically competent to follow simple directions.
Reporting the spoofed numbers used by robocallers is just playing wack-a-mole, but I have still reported each and every robocall that NoMoRobo missed. In fact it was the process of reporting these calls that really brought my attention to the FACT that NoMoRobo simply does not block calls from the scammers at Cardholder Services.
If you would bother to look at recent reviews for NoMoRobo you will find dozens of others reporting exactly the same thing - NoMoRobo works great for OTHER robocalls, but it is a total failure at blocking Cardholder Services with their "reduce your interest rate" scam.
I can't say whether Cardholder Services has simply developed some magic new technology that consistently defeats NoMoRobo or if something more sinister is involved; but there is absolutely no doubt that NoMoRobo consistently fails to block calls from one well known scammer.
1) NoMoRobo refuses to acknowledge that there is a problem - and even took the step of deleting numerous posts from their Facebook page made by people describing this specific issue, as well as blocking those people from posting anything on the page.
2) If this really were some magic new technology or technique that enables the call centers placing robocalls for Cardholder Services to consistently beat NoMoRobo how is it that no other company has started using this same technology? The call centers that make these scam calls rarely work for just one company, but it is only Cardholder Services that is somehow magically able to avoid being blocked by NoMoRobo.
Taken together, those two facts make me wonder if there isn't a much simpler reason why Cardholder Services isn't being blocked by NoMoRobo.
Sorry if I offended you. It wasn't meant to hurt. Didn't think that item through. I have actually inserted credit call numbers on the nomo site and they were blocked. (i have a friend who works the call center for a large cc company and had him call me 2 days later and robot blocked them.In any event I spent the 30 minutes on phone with att tech guys who are exploring their participation in the service.Once again I apologize for the remark.Davidf

I have noticed a few call go through. I block their number at Verizon FIOS website.

You have to have to download the NOMOROBO app. I'm trying it now. Just having your cell phone number referred to in their database is not sufficient.
01-31-2017 7:14 AM
The app is for reporting robocalls that weren't blocked or the rare valid call that was blocked. These reports SHOULD help the service work better if the same number calls again, but have nothing to do with whether or not an individual incoming call is blocked by the service.

Transform your leftover cooked chicken into these tasty empanadas. This delicious, crispy, and tender Mediterranean-inspired finger food is easy to make! It was good but to crispy for me. Empanadillas are actually very similar to empanadas except the dough for empanadillas is much thinner so they make for a perfect fried fritter!

India is truly at a tipping point, where platforms such as Internet and mobile are driving a new market with all new dynamics. On the other hand, vernacular print is getting stronger by the day and with BARC spinning out rural TV measurement data for the first time ever last year, marketers have given their media expenditures a good shake-up. Further, technology is playing a catalyst in meshing up the media. It is all happening here!
Media360India seeks to take stock of the present and search for sustainable media solutions for long-term growth especially in the unchartered waters of digital services and emerging technologies for both urban and emerging rural markets
If experts are to be believed, global online video viewing is expected to rise 20 per cent this year. Needless to say, the ad-spend will grow in tandem too. A look at some trends and tools to produce business results through video content in the coming year.
An interactive session where a segment expert (nee moderator) lists out key challenges facing the industry and then raise some pertinent questions to the audience seeking insights and solutions to some pressing issues.
Technology has emerged as an agent of change for rural communities of India. The media platforms are thriving: free-to-air TV, vernacular press and a mobile first generation. How are the marketers and their media partners reaching and effectively engaging with this emerging goldmine of a demographic?
A fire-side chat between a client and a media agency head about how to demystify this new consumer segment.
As digital advertising now approaches serious critical mass, the industry cannot hide its head in the sand about some unpleasant issues to prevent a digital implosion. The decision makers need to tackle the key concerns head on, some of them being: does digital truly grow brand awareness like the traditional media; third party monitoring; offensive placement of ads; ad frauds; and assured quality inventory of private networks versus black hole of public worldwide web.
A panel discussion with industry heavy weights – publishers, clients and media agency heads-- to debate this serious issue.
The next phase of mobile marketing needs to address the changing role of mobile from being a medium to more of a companion. With the digital tech maturing, marketers are grappling with these changes and it is becoming critical to integrate dynamic technologies into their marketing strategies.
In a ‘collective’ society as Indonesia, key opinion leaders (KOLs) have always mattered. Brands traditionally used celebrity endorsers and now with the explosion of social media have ‘influencers’ spreading the good word. Influencer marketing has skyrocketed in the last few years to the point that it has become a category. It is also turning out to be one of the biggest challenges for marketers. The process of finding the right influencer can be a tricky one, though—getting them to create content for you can be even trickier. And then there is measurement, brand alignment, fraud, etc.
This panel takes stock of different types of KOLs in Indonesia and what are the major priorities and opportunities for marketers today in scaling influencer programmes.
The move from appointment viewing to consumer demand for content everywhere and at any time has made India a fertile market for OTT (Over-the-top) operators. Ability of these platforms to be able to give targeted measurement data to marketers make them an attractive vehicle. How are OTT networks changing the media landscape in India and what are the key challenges they need to overcome?
An interactive session where segment experts (nee moderators) list out key challenges facing the industry and then raise some pertinent questions to the audience seeking insights and solutions to some pressing issues.
In an era, where most media discussions revolve around the new-age digital media, and many markets have sounded the death knell for print, India seems to be an exception. The nation continues to see a substantial play of print in advertising spends, which are upwards of 30% and remain strong. Vernacular has shown good progress, which is of a huge significance to the marketer. However, the challenges are immense and that the use-by-date may be fast approaching is not an illusion.
In the era of programmatic buying, the most coveted talent is the one that can crunch numbers, decipher data and is analytics savvy. Does that spell doom to careers of those with dominant ride-side brains? Also, a discussion on challenges of managing a heterogeneous work force and the drain to tech majors.
In a country as diverse as India, no astute advertiser would put his money into a medium unless backed by solid research. This year would be a landmark of sorts as Broadcast India Research Council (BARC) scales up the number of households it tracks, fine-tunes rural audience measurement and comes up with a digital measurement road-map for television. ABC (Audit Bureau of Circulation) is going digital too for print and the 2016 IRS data should be revealed by Q3 of this year. Right steps in the right direction but the marketers still want to know how to bring it all together.
A face-off between the research agencies and clients along with their media agencies to discuss the status of data, its new findings and how to achieve a better industry standard database.

Bigger Bass Bonanza | Lottomart Games | 100% Deposit Match up to £100
Prizes have just got a lot bigger with Bigger Bass Bonanza! The successor to Pragmatic Play's popular title Big Bass Bonanza, this follow-up has taken everything that makes the original so great and multiplied the excitement levels. The reels have grown, the features have been enhanced, and the top prize has been boosted to 4000x your stake. There are ample reasons to get your fishing rod out and cast it in search of landing that bigger bass.
Bigger Bass Bonanza Game Details
£0.12 / £48.00
Features Cash Symbols, Chain Multipliers, Free Spins, Free Spins Retrigger, Interactive Symbols, Multipliers, Paylines, Random Symbols, Scatter Symbols, Stacked Symbols, Wilds
Bigger Bass Bonanza Online Slot Overview
If you have ever played Lottomart Games' Big Bass Bonanza before, you will be familiar with how its successor, the aptly titled Bigger Bass Bonanza, works. The main difference is that everything is bigger. The slot has increased in size with a 5-reel, 4-row play area with 12 paylines in total. The prizes are also more lucrative, with a 4,000x top multiplier available. Bigger Base Bonanza has also jumped up to being a highly volatile slot, which means more chances of landing a top prize while playing. The base game has standard gameplay that's sure to please both traditionalists and modern players, but the bonus game brings the thrills and excitement. The reels can be spun for just £0.12, making it suitable for those wanting to sample what Bigger Base Bonanza has to offer. The simple yet colourful fishing theme is pleasing to the eye, while the soundtrack and animations immerse users once they reach the bonus round.
● Exciting Free Spins Bonus Round – While Bigger Bass Bonanza is fun to play in general, everything jumps up a few levels once the Free Spins bonus round is activated. This bonus game presents the chance to gain a 10x multiplier for your bet and win other lucrative cash prizes.
● Big Prizes – With a 4000x multiplier up for grabs, the big prizes are among the most enticing reasons to play this slot.
● High RTP – Even with its high volatility and major prizes on the line, Bigger Bass Bonanza has a relatively high Return to Player (RTP) rate at 94.62%.
The scatter symbol, which takes the shape of a fish getting reeled in, is the one to watch out for most. If you land at least 3 of these anywhere after a single spin, this will activate the Free Spins mode. You also want to watch out for the Wild symbol during the Free Spins mode. This is displayed as a fisherman holding a fish. When hit, the Wild will help you score bigger prizes. Other symbols of note are the money fish symbols. These feature random cash values, and you'll collect the prizes by landing at least 3 on a payline.
The Free Spins bonus round activates once you spin 3 Scatter symbols or more. The more Scatter symbols you land, the larger number of Free Spins you'll gain to start off the bonus round.
Once the Free Spins round is underway, this will activate the Wild symbol. Firstly, the Wild symbol will reel in any fish symbols displayed alongside it after a Free Spin, adding to your overall winning pot. Secondly, the Wilds are the key to earning extra Free Spins and multipliers. These added bonuses are gained when you manage to land at least 4 Wilds during the initial Free Spins round. Here's how it works:
4 Wild symbols landed = 10+ Free Spins, 2x multiplier
8 Wild symbols landed = 10+ Free Spins, 3x multiplier
12 Wild symbols landed = 10+ Free Spins, 10x multiplier
Note: you gain an additional 10 Free Spins each time you reach the set target, while the multiplier increases gradually as stated.
Play Bigger Bass Bonanza at Lottomart Games
Are you ready to bust out the fishing rod to land the biggest fish around? Play Bigger Bass Bonanza at Lottomart Games today and enjoy a 100% deposit match up to £100 on your first deposit! (T&Cs Apply. 18+ Only)

Journey to $1 Million - March 26th, 2021
That was one of the biggest come backs that I've seen in a long time. The markets all opened red, even though the premarket was all green. Shortly after opening bell, they decided to sell off more and I made a decision to not dollar cost average more. Amazingly enough everything finished green for me; what a ride that was.
SPY: +0.56%
QQQ: +0.12%
DIA: +0.65%
$STPK: +15.5%
$CAKE: +8.43%
$BBIG: +4.78%
My portfolio finished up 1.5% yesterday. I'm still down on the week, but I am anxiously waiting for a green Friday for tech.
$ARKK: Ark Invest Innovation ETF is bouncing off of the 180MA currently. For me, this is very, very good deal territory. I think there are a lot of new investors, or possibly boomers, that are scared to jump into this right now since its lost over 30% of its value. Innovation is the future, especially for the millennial and gen-z generations. Cathie Woods stated earlier that she believes 50% of the stocks included in the S&P index will be greatly affected by disruptive innovation stocks. She also said that this is about to be the greatest transfer of intergenerational wealth.
I tend agree with her on this. I compare it to the people that think Tesla is overpriced because at current and future valuations, they need to sell more than 50% of the world's cars for that to make sense. I know, for some, it is a hard thing to grasp, that Tesla is a software and tech company, not just a car manufacturer. Maybe a lot of people have a hard time to grasp this, and other companies growth and disruptive potential because their lives haven't been personally impacted by this new technology.
The takeaway is that there are a lot of traditional and cyclical investors that are about to miss out on huge gains. I currently have LEAPS on almost all of the ARK ETFs and I plan to DCA more into them now that they are mostly around the 180MA. I do believe that $ARKK can hit $200 by the EOY as long as tech and growth rebound, and with that said I give $ARKK and the other ETF's a risk of 4. I'll be DCA more into January 2022 LEAPS at Friday's opening bell.

Three Kingdoms of Glory: Joseph Smith, 1 Corinthians 15, and Doctrine & Covenants 76
Home > Three Kingdoms of Glory: Joseph Smith, 1 Corinthians 15, and Doctrine & Covenants 76
Christian theology traditionally (and biblically) teaches that all people will end up in one of two eternal futures: either in the new heavens and new earth (often simply called "Heaven") or in what Revelation calls the lake of fire (often called "Hell"). According to LDS doctrine, on the other hand, human beings have four possible eternal futures: three "kingdoms of glory" (celestial, terrestrial, or telestial) and "outer darkness," which is similar to what Christians traditionally call Hell (Gospel Principles, 271-73). What is the origin of the LDS doctrine, and is it in agreement with the Bible?
A. Doctrine & Covenants 76
The primary, authoritative scripture for Mormons on the three heavenly kingdoms is Doctrine & Covenants 76, which Joseph Smith produced in 1832. Here is Joseph's explanation of the origin of this "vision":
"Upon my return from Amherst conference, I resumed the translation of the Scriptures. From sundry revelations which had been received, it was apparent that many important points touching the salvation of man, had been taken from the Bible, or lost before it was compiled. It appeared self-evident from what truths were left, that if God rewarded every one according to the deeds done in the body the term 'Heaven,' as intended for the Saints' eternal home must include more kingdoms than one. Accordingly, on the 16th of February, 1832, while translating St. John's Gospel, myself and Elder Rigdon saw the following vision" (History of the Church, 1:245; quoted in the introduction to Doctrine & Covenants 76).
Some observations about these comments seem in order.
First, we should note well that Joseph Smith acknowledges that his doctrine of the three kingdoms is not found in the Bible as it has come down to us through the centuries.
Second, Joseph explains that many important truths concerning salvation had been either deliberately removed from the Bible or lost before the Bible was compiled.
Third, Joseph's comments imply that the reason Christianity has traditionally understood that there was one "Heaven" instead of the three kingdoms is that important material had been removed or lost from the Bible.
Fourth, it follows from these points that the alleged loss or removal of important material from the Bible resulted not merely in a loss of some information but also a distortion of the information we still have.
This means that Joseph's teaching in Doctrine & Covenants 76 really constitutes a new teaching that is in conflict with the Bible's teaching, at least as it has come down to us. Thus, even though Mormons often try to support this doctrine from the Bible, we should recognize that the doctrine does not come from the Bible and actually disagrees with the Bible, as Joseph's remarks above implicitly acknowledge.
It is also interesting to note the sequence in Joseph's own report of this incident. First he says that it was apparent to them (Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery) that much important information had been lost from the Bible and that it seemed "self-evident" to them that Heaven must include more than one kingdom. Only then do they receive a "vision" confirming what they had already concluded was obvious. In this instance the vision seems to have been the child of the thought. In the main text of Doctrine & Covenants 76, Joseph says that while he and Oliver were "translating" John 5:28-29 "the Lord touched the eyes of our understandings and they were opened" (v. 19), and they saw Christ, the holy angels, and Lucifer (vv. 20-30). The rest of Doctrine & Covenants 76, though it is framed as a description of the rest of their vision (see v. 113), is simply a lengthy exposition of this new doctrine regarding the final destinations after death of various categories of human beings (vv. 31-112). This exposition weaves together biblical statements, mostly from the New Testament, to present a new doctrine about four final destinations of human beings. The table below gives a quick and simple overview of the passage, including the major New Testament passages that Joseph Smith wove into his revelation.
Four Classes of People in D&C 76
Place/Analogy
vv. 31-49
vv. 50-70, 91-96
Celestial world (sun)
vv. 71-80, 97
Terrestrial world (moon)
Honorable people who did not receive the fullness of the gospel
vv. 81-90, 98-112
Telestial world (stars)
For a Bible-believing Christian, the real test of Joseph Smith's purported vision in Doctrine & Covenants 76 is whether it agrees with the Bible. The heavy use of biblical statements and phrases throughout the text certainly gives the impression that the doctrine Joseph Smith presents is biblical. However, when Joseph's doctrine is compared to the biblical passages in context, we find that his doctrine is very much contrary to biblical theology. We have already commented on Revelation 20 in the previous article in this series and on 1 Peter 3:18-4:6 in our response to chapter 41 of Gospel Principles. The key passage on which Joseph Smith builds his doctrine, though, is 1 Corinthians 15:40-41. Because of its importance, we will give some sustained attention to this passage in its context.
B. 1 Corinthians 15:40-41
In Doctrine & Covenants 76, Joseph Smith sets forth a doctrine of three heavenly worlds or realms in which nearly all people will eventually live forever. He describes the inhabitants of these three worlds, and the worlds themselves, using the three terms celestial, terrestrial, and telestial. Where did Joseph Smith get these terms? We know that he got the first two terms, and the core of his descriptions of all three, from 1 Corinthians 15:40-41, which reads as follows in the King James Version:
"There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory" (1 Corinthians 15:40-41)
Compare these verses with the following statements in Doctrine & Covenants 76 (emphasis added):
"70 These are they whose bodies are celestial, whose glory is that of the sun, even the glory of God, the highest of all, whose glory the sun of the firmament is written of as being typical. 71 And again, we saw the terrestrial world, and behold and lo, these are they who are of the terrestrial, whose glorydiffers from that of the church of the Firstborn who have received the fulness of the Father, even as that of the moon differs from the sun in the firmament….78 Wherefore, they are bodies terrestrial, and not bodies celestial, and differ in glory as the moon differs from the sun. 81 And again, we saw the glory of the telestial, which glory is that of the lesser, even as the glory of the stars differs from that of the glory of the moon in the firmament…. 96 And the glory of the celestial is one, even as the glory of the sun is one. 97 And the glory of the terrestrial is one, even as the glory of the moon is one. 98 And the glory of the telestial is one, even as the glory of the stars is one; for as one star differs from another star in glory, even so differs one from another in glory in the telestial world…" (Doctrine & Covenants 76:70-71, 78, 81, 96-98).
Joseph Smith uses all of the wording of 1 Corinthians 15:40-41 in his explanation of the three kinds of people who will live in the three future worlds. These three kinds of people will have "bodies" differing from one another in "glory"; the three worlds and their bodies will differ from one another as the sun, moon, and stars differ from one another in brightness; the bodies inhabiting the least glorious world will differ from one another in glory as stars differ from one another in brightness; and the two most glorious worlds and the bodies that inhabit them are called celestial and terrestrial. Thus, there is no question that the words of 1 Corinthians 15:40-41 form the framework of Joseph's doctrine of three future worlds as laid out in Doctrine & Covenants 76:50-112. The problem is that his use of the text radically changes it meaning. The most obvious difference is the lack of any reference to "telestial" bodies in 1 Corinthians 15. To "correct" this lack, Joseph Smith added two lines to the passage referring to telestial bodies in his "translation" of the Bible, commonly called the Joseph Smith Translation (JST):
1 Corinthians 15:40 JST
Also celestial bodies,
and bodies terrestrial,
and bodies telestial;
but the glory of the celestial, one,
and the terrestrial, another,
and the telestial, another.
Smith omitted the words italicized in the KJV, which in itself is not troubling, since they were added to complete the sense in English. What is a problem is that he added two whole phrases in order to introduce into the passage the third of his three eternal worlds, inhabited by so-called "telestial" bodies.
The word telestial apparently did not exist before Joseph Smith used it in Doctrine & Covenants 76. For example, no such word, and no word that might be related to it, appears in the 1828 Webster's Dictionary. The words celestial and terrestrial are both derived from Latin words (coelestis and terrestris) meaning "of heaven" and "of earth." There is no Latin root of possible relevance to the word telestial, nor any relevant root of other languages, so far as anyone knows. Joseph appears to have coined the word te-lestial by combining the first two letters of the word terrestrial with all but the first two letters of the word celestial. To put the matter bluntly, it is a nonsense word.
Adding the two lines "and bodies telestial…and the telestial, another" not only adds an invented word, it is unjustified textually. No surviving Greek or other ancient manuscripts of the passage contain anything corresponding to these words. Mormons may wish to argue that the words originally appeared in Paul's epistle but that they somehow came to be omitted in the process of copying. This claim would be plausible if the text as it stands appeared to be missing something, or if the addition of these words brought clarity and coherence to an otherwise confusing text. In fact, the addition of these words does no such thing, but instead changes the meaning of verses 40-41 and disrupts the passage as a whole. Let's look, then, at these verses in their context. The issue that Paul is discussing throughout 1 Corinthians 15 is the doctrine that believers—those who are redeemed in Christ—will be resurrected to immortal life. Some people in the Corinthian church were denying this basic doctrine (see verse 12).
Already here we are faced with a major difference between the doctrines of Paul and Joseph Smith. According to Joseph Smith, virtually all people will be saved and receive immortal resurrection bodies of varying degrees of glory corresponding to the three different worlds in which they will live forever. According to Paul, on the other hand, this will be true only of those who are redeemed "in Christ," that is, who are saved by Christ's atoning death for their sins (see verses 1-4). Paul does not deny that wicked, unredeemed humanity will also be raised from the dead (he affirms this truth in Acts 24:15), but they are resurrected to face the Final Judgment as whole human beings, not to receive immortality or heavenly life. Everything in 1 Corinthians 15 is focused on the resurrection of believers, of those saved through faith; nothing in this chapter has anything to say about the resurrection of nonbelievers.
Thus, Paul says that Christ's own resurrection is important because without it Christians' faith is worthless, those who have "fallen asleep in Christ" have perished forever, and those who have hoped "in Christ" in this life should be pitied (verses 17-19). Contrary to the views of those Corinthians, Paul insists that Christ's resurrection guarantees our own (verses 20-21). He then states, "For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive" (1 Corinthians 15:22 ESV). Paul here first acknowledges that "in Adam all die," or in other words that everyone who belongs to Adam, who is related by descent to Adam, dies. Then Paul says that "so also in Christ shall all be made alive." This does not mean (as Mormons commonly claim) that all people will be resurrected to immortal life, but that everyone who belongs to Christ, who is related by faith to Christ, will be made alive in the future resurrection. We know this is Paul's meaning because he says so in the very next breath: "But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ" (1 Corinthians 15:23 ESV, emphasis added). In short, the expression "in Christ" here in verse 22, as it does everywhere else in Paul's epistles, refers to the people redeemed by Christ and the blessings that come to them because of Christ. Those who are "in Christ" stand in contrast to those who remain "in Adam" and therefore remain destined for eternal condemnation and separation from God's loving presence.
It is this hope of immortal life in the resurrection that we have "in Christ" that motivates Christians, including Paul himself, to live as they do. Paul asks the Corinthians why he would put his life in danger and feel like he was dying every day for the sake of the gospel, if not for the hope of his future resurrection (verses 30-34). Please notice: Paul risked his life because of the hope of this resurrection to immortality, not because he was hoping to attain the highest of three levels of immortal life. Throughout this passage Paul assumes that there will be two categories of people: those who are saved "in Christ" and are assured of immortal life in the resurrection of the dead, and those who are not.
In verses 35-57, Paul specifically addresses the question of what kind of body believers will have in the resurrection (see verse 35). Let's look at these verses more closely.
40 There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly is of another. 41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory. (1 Corinthians 15:35-41 ESV)
Paul's purpose in this section of 1 Corinthians 15 is to present some analogies showing that God has the capability of making different kinds of bodies in different contexts. The Corinthians who denied the future resurrection of the dead mistakenly assumed, apparently, that such a resurrection would mean a return to the same mortal, degraded condition as our present human lives. Paul corrects them by explaining that resurrection is analogous to what happens to a seed: it begins as something very humble, "dies" (by being buried in the ground), and then "comes to life" as the full, impressive, valuable "body" of wheat or other grain (verses 36-38). (Paul is speaking in layman's terms here and not trying to teach botany: he doesn't mean that seeds literally die and then become resurrected to life.) Thus resurrection bodies will be far more impressive and wonderful than our bodies in their current mortal state.
Paul then gives another analogy, this time not from the plant kingdom but from the animal kingdom. Creatures of flesh come in varying kinds, including humans, land animals, birds, and fish (verse 39). Paul doesn't develop this point, but it is an important one because human beings are in this category and Paul is arguing that human bodies can become very different in the resurrection. His point is that God has already shown he can do this by making creatures of flesh with very different kinds of bodies. These different kinds of bodies of creatures living on the earth are what Paul evidently means in the next verse by "earthly bodies."
Now we come to verses 40-41, which Joseph Smith interpreted to refer to three kinds of resurrection bodies inhabiting three different heavenly realms in the future. In context, though, Paul is still giving analogies for the idea of the resurrection body being very different from the mortal body. Here Paul contrasts two, not three, categories of bodies: earthly bodies and heavenly bodies. The King James Version uses the words "terrestrial" and "celestial," but these are simply older English words that mean earthly and heavenly (and so do the Greek words, epigeios and epiouranios). The term "terrestrial body" simply means any "body" down here on the earth, while a "celestial body" is any "body" up in heaven—and heaven here means the sky, or more specifically what we call outer space. We know this because Paul goes on immediately to mention three kinds of heavenly bodies: the sun, moon, and stars. The fact that Paul says these three kinds of heavenly bodies differ from one another in glory does not mean they represent three kinds of human resurrection bodies living in three different future worlds. Remember, these are all explicitly called "celestial" (i.e., heavenly) bodies. It simply will not work in this context to make the moon and stars analogies for bodies excluded from the celestial realm, because Paul explicitly includes them in the category of the celestial: they are simply different kinds of celestial bodies.
Paul's Analogies
Joseph Smith's Doctrine
Doctrine & Covenants 76:50-112
Three Kinds of Resurrection Bodies
(and three different worlds)
Humans, animals, birds, fish
Celestial (comparable to the sun)
Terrestrial (comparable to the moon)
Telestial (comparable to the stars)
Only beginning with verse 42 does Paul describe directly what the differences are between the mortal and resurrection bodies of believers. Verses 36-41 have simply developed analogies from the different kinds of objects in the natural realm to establish the principle that the resurrected human body will be different and more glorious than in its mortal state. So, after finishing his comments about the varying glory of earthly and heavenly bodies, Paul concludes: "So it is with the resurrection of the dead" (verse 42a ESV). From the second half of verse 42 through verse 49, Paul presents a sustained contrast between the two kinds of human bodies: our present mortal bodies and our future immortal bodies.
Present vs. Future Body: 1 Corinthians 15:42b-49 (ESV)
Present Mortal Body
Future Immortal Body
But it is not the spiritual that is first but the natural,
Our present bodies are perishable, dishonorable, weak, natural, and of dust; our future resurrection bodies will be imperishable, glorious, powerful, spiritual, and of heaven. Our present bodies will be like the first man Adam's body after the fall; our future bodies will be like the body of the last Adam, Christ, after his resurrection. There are not three types, kinds, categories, or glories of immortality here; there is only one, that of the resurrection of those who are united to Christ, of those who are promised that they will bear his image.
Paul concludes his discussion of the nature of the resurrection body by explaining that those who are alive when Christ returns and raises the dead will have their living, mortal bodies likewise transformed:
I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality. When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory." (1 Corinthians 15:50-54 ESV)
Our bodies now are mere "flesh and blood," meaning that they are perishable and mortal; in the resurrection they will become imperishable and immortal. This "victory" over death is not enjoyed by all people, but only by those who are saved by the redemptive work of Jesus Christ in his death and resurrection:
"O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?" The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain. (1 Corinthians 15:55-58 ESV)
If we read 1 Corinthians 15:40-41 in the context of the whole chapter, then, we find that it simply does not mean, and could not ever have meant, that virtually all people will be resurrected with immortality to live in worlds of varying degrees of glory. Paul's whole point throughout the passage is to show that those who are "in Christ" are assured that he has won victory over death on their behalf, so that they will be raised from the dead to immortal, glorious life with bodies like that of the risen Christ. The "celestial bodies" of verses 40-41 are not bodies in the uppermost tier of the celestial kingdom. They are the astronomical bodies of the sun, moon, and stars, illustrating the point that God can make all sorts of different bodies and so will have no problem making our resurrection bodies far more glorious than the mortal, corrupt bodies in which we currently find ourselves.
C. The Two Ways
The Bible consistently, repeatedly, and emphatically teaches that human beings are following two divergent ways, one of which leads to eternal life with God and the other of which leads to eternal separation from God. It knows nothing of the idea that a large number of people will enjoy immortality in some glorious world but will not live in the presence of God the Father. Immortality, eternal life, the kingdom of God, the presence of the Father—these are all part of the same "package deal" that God offers by his grace and mercy as a free gift to those who will humble themselves to accept it from him on the basis of what his Son Jesus Christ has done for us. The alternative is eternal condemnation, perishing, the second death, the lake of fire—it has many names, none of them comforting. Some of the most famous and beloved verses of the Bible express this all-important truth of the gospel (all quotations from the ESV; emphasis added):
John 5:29 presents these same two stark alternatives:
"…those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment" (John 5:29).
Joseph Smith found this troubling, which led him to produce Doctrine & Covenants 76 and to rewrite John 5:29 to say "the resurrection of the just" and "the resurrection of the unjust" (JST). This change really doesn't negate the fact that according to Christ in this verse, human beings face two possible futures, a point made by Christ repeatedly in the Gospels and in many ways. Here are just ten of the many examples
"Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few" (Matthew 7:13).
"I tell you, many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Matthew 8:11-12).
"Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters" (Matthew 12:30).
"And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than with two hands to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire" (Mar 9:43).
"Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God…. But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation" (Luke 6:20, 24).
"For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted" (Luke 14:11; 18:14).
Some New Testament Terms for Our Eternal Futures
Kingdom of God's beloved Son
Gehenna ("hell")
It strains all credibility to claim that all of these verses, and the many others like them found throughout the New Testament (see, for example, Acts 26:18; 1 Corinthians 1:18; 2 Corinthians 6:15; Colossians 1:13), all reflect some corruption or omissions in the biblical text. (In most of these texts, by the way, the JST has no significant changes.) We must conclude that the New Testament does in fact teach that human beings face two possible futures: eternal condemnation away from the loving presence of God and eternal life in his loving presence. The New Testament uses a variety of terms for these two eternal futures, but the pattern exemplified by the above passages is very clear. This is why it is a mistake to try to force artificial distinctions between, for example, immortality (which LDS doctrine says is a free gift that inhabitants of all three glorious kingdoms receive) and eternal life (which it claims only inhabitants of the celestial kingdom can prove worthy enough to receive).
It was, frankly, a grave error for Joseph Smith to try to "fix" such passages as John 5:29 and 1 Corinthians 15:40-41 to make them more palatable theologically. In doing so, Joseph simply demonstrated that he did not understand the teaching of Jesus Christ and the rest of the New Testament on this subject—and that his claim to be a prophet of God authorized to produce such revelations was false.

Title: Physics with Tau Leptons at CDF
Partly Cloudy 74º/51º
The fourth in a series of Fermilab Today stories on the International Linear Collider. The entire series is available online.
The Fermilab proposal for hosting a Global Design Initiative would offer space in Wilson Hall.
Fermilab's GDI Site Proposal
Fermilab is one of several particle physics laboratories to submit proposals to the International Linear Collider Steering Committee for hosting the Central Team of the Global Design Initiative. The ILCSC has proposed this team to coordinate the first stages of design work in the Asian, European and American regions.
"The Linear Collider work will be spread around the world. The Central Team will pull everything together," said Steve Holmes, Fermilab Associate Director for Accelerators and a member of the U.S. Linear Collider Steering Committee.
"We have proposed Fermilab as the host because we feel we offer both the facilities and an environment conducive to preparing the conceptual design of the International Linear Collider," Holmes said. "Our Long Range Planning Committee Report and our Director's Vision place the ILC as the highest priority for Fermilab. The siting of the GDI Central Team would put us in the middle of the mix. We are forming close connections and have strong support in this endeavor from our neighboring institutions--Argonne National Lab and the local universities."
Submitted last month, the Fermilab proposal offers a half-floor of space in Wilson Hall, or one floor of space in the Industrial Center, for use by the Central Team. Responding to points in the ILCSC Request for Proposals, Fermilab described the availability of office space, internet access, engineering and design services, administrative services, ease of travel and cultural amenities of the metropolitan area.
"We talked about everything we have to offer here--except the weather," Holmes said.
An issue that could complicate proposals from American laboratories is the continuing visa backlog for foreign scientists. The criteria for siting the Central Team include being "easily accessible by the international community of foreign scientists and engineers."
The Industrial Center is an alternative proposed
space for the GDI at Fermilab. (Click on image for larger version.)

This week Fermilab's Visual Media Services and the Office of Public Affairs have begun to install new posters on the 15th floor of Wilson Hall. Entitled "Fermilab Accelerators," the posters on the south crossover are the first of six sets of posters to be installed before the end of the year. Future sets include "Collider Experiments" (to be installed today), "Neutrino Experiments," and "From Quarks to the Cosmos." The posters will show the many aspects of science and technology at Fermilab.
To meet the needs of docents and employees giving tours, the posters feature large-size photos with short captions. The in-house production of the new exhibit allows for the timely updates of individual posters. VMS is printing and mounting all posters at Fermilab's Duplicating Office.
At present the 15th floor exhibit includes the Run I CDF vertex detector, a Linac RF cavity, and an RXQ acceleration structure. Plans call for additional artifacts in the future, including the exhibit of the popular arrowhead collection in updated display cases. If you have questions or suggestions, please contact Kurt Riesselmann.

RoodMicrotec N.V., the Dutch semiconductor supplier of advanced microchips, is expected to double its sales turnover with Zurich-based electronics distribution company Altec Electronic AG to EUR 1.2 million by 2018, after signing a sales channel agreement for the distribution of its services in the Swiss market.
The new contract has originated from RoodMicrotec's successful support in the last years for Altec's mainly industrial end-user customers. The two firms have seen their business relationship grow steadily in the past four years, especially between 2015 and 2016, when sales turnover in Test and Assembly for ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) doubled to EUR 600,000. ASICs are chips that are fully customised to handle one specific application exclusively designed for one customer.
RoodMicrotec COO Reinhard Pusch said: "We are very positive about our fast- growing relationship with Altec. Their expertise and high profile customer base has allowed us to expand our activities in Switzerland and we expect further growth through this successful cooperation over the next years".
RoodMicrotec has been a test house for Altec since 2006 and became one of two exclusive suppliers in 2012, when the company consolidated the focus of its activities. In 2015 RoodMicrotec became exclusive supplier for ASIC Test and Assembly; in 2015/16 Altec generated 20 new projects for RoodMicrotec's Test and Assembly business.
Reinhard Pusch concluded: "The growth in Test and Assembly activities is very promising and RoodMicrotec expects to continue to expand this business in the Swiss market. We believe our relationship with Altec will generate new opportunities across our business units, including turnover in the area of Qualification and Failure Analysis".

Sport50: Manage Your Sport Organization Easily - Silicon Luxembourg
Home > News > Latest News > Sport50: Manage Your Sport Organization Easily
Sport50 pursues the vision of fully automating sports organizations such as teams, leagues, and federations. We met Gilles Mangen, CEO of Sport50.
(Featured Image: Tim Wiltgen, COO, and Gilles Mangen, CEO of Sport50 / Image Credit © Silicon Luxembourg / Kaori Anne Jolliffe)
A simple tool to assist amateur sports organizations
Sport50's journey started with the discovery of a major problem faced by amateur sports teams: the lack of resources required for operational tasks. "Amateur sports is led by volunteers and limited staff inducing which leads to a lack of time and resources required to properly manage the organization on a daily basis. Our goal is to grow organized sports by unburdening the people behind it." explained the CEO. In September 2014, Gilles Mangen and his co founder decided to create a web platform with different tools that would manage the daily tasks of such organizations.
In Luxembourg, only, 200 clubs use the Sport50 web platform on a monthly basis. The company is, however, gaining traction in neighboring countries. "Any kind of sports club uses our platform. From football teams with millions to small fringe sport organizations!" mentioned Gilles.
"After a first seed investment round in 2016 of 600,000 euros, the startup just closed a second seed investment round for further growth and development."
A year and a half ago, the startup realized that their proposal was not sufficient to help these organizations. "Initially, we were offering different tools to manage an organization but in reality, the more tools volunteers had at their disposal, the more time they needed to manage it. Hence we were back at square one!" said the CEO.
Introducing Tom! A new virtual assistant – running on AI & Automation – to whom the sport clubs' staff can easily delegate work. "It is really simple: human volunteers take decisions; the virtual assistant does the rest" described Gilles.
Through this virtual assistant, the startup introduced fully automated communication, marketing, finance, and CRM to sports organizations. The virtual assistant identifies problems, suggests solutions, and executes tasks related to those areas, while the human volunteer simply takes an informed decision. "Managing an organization is no longer about micromanagement and execution, but about solid decision-making. That is how we see the future of organization management. Over 50 tasks today can already be automated." told us Gilles.
"Our objective for next year is to do a larger Series A round to further push our growth."
A successful new investment round
After a first seed investment round in 2016 of 600K euros, the startup just closed a second seed round. "With this new round, we intend to expand to other countries, targeting Germany first, followed by France and Belgium. For the past few years, we focused on product development and have grown organically in the commercial side. Now we will focus on the latter as it is, key to our growth." said the CEO.
The team is now currently composed of 6 employees in Luxembourg and aims to grow to 11 by the end of Q3 2019. The startup is also hiring for its French and German offices.
"Our objective for next year is to do a larger series A round to further push our growth" concluded Gilles.

Electronic fishing rigs increase harvest 10 fold
To save the situation, a Zimbabwean firm, Arrow Aquaculture Africa (AAA) having successfully utilized industrial fishing rigs on Lake Kariba in Zimbabwe to harvest Mukene transferred the technology to Ugandans for trials. The firm introduced the industrial rigs at Kiyindi landing site in Buikwe district.
The fishing rigs use light from electric bulbs supplied by a generator to attract and concentrate fish. While using this modern technology, the catches range from 280 – 4500 kg per rig per day according to season compared to 40 – 70 kg harvested by fishers using pressure lamps.
Its' perceived that light intensity during Mukene harvest determines the quantity of the catch., Dr. Taabu noted that preliminary results from studies he carried out indicated a correlation between the light intensity and Mukene catch. "Fishers using 1-7 pressure lamps per group get their catch based on the intensity of their lamps signifying the importance of a reliable source of light for harvesting."
The researcher has praised the trials of using the industrial rigs noting that it is very productive in comparison to the pressure lamps. Although the initial rigs being used in the trials at the lake ten times more expensive than the ordinary kerosene lamp units, Dr. Taabu explained that there is work in progress to offer similar innovative solutions that are affordable. The success of the rigs makes it essential for us to develop cost-effective technologies that will enable increased but sustainable exploitation of Mukene.
"Our aim is to increase sustainable fisheries production of Mukene by improving light attraction technologies through the determination of the most appropriate colour, intensity, and source of light for attraction and concentration of these small fishes. The enhancement in the use of the improved technologies to attract and concentrate these fishes will increase production to at least 50 – 60 percent, relieve pressure on other large fish stocks, and improve local revenues and the nutritional status of the poor Mukene fishing population," said Dr. Taabu
Mukene contains phosphorous which aids brain and bone development. It has also got nutritional values such as vitamin A and E and fatty oils that prevent poor vision and promote good skin texture. Studies have shown that diets rich in Omega-3 can result in increased learning ability, problem-solving skills, focus, memory and creativity.
Statistics from the Department of Fisheries Resources show that fish exports in Uganda increased from 1,664 tonnes worth $1.4 million (about Shs3.5 billion) in 1990 to 36,615 tonnes worth $143.6 million (about Shs362.6 billion)in 2005, but dropped sharply back to 16,480 tonnes fetching $89.1m (about Shs225b) by 2011.

Missing Prestons cash 'was never found' (From The Bolton News)
Missing Prestons cash 'was never found'
TENS of thousands of pounds allegedly stolen by a former employee of Prestons of Bolton have never been recovered, a court heard.
Christopher Kempster, who was a "trusted employee" at the jewellers, is standing trial accused of running three schemes whereby it is alleged he stole almost £30,000 from the company's cash for gold department and manipulated records to cover his tracks.
His defence lawyer Duncan Phillips told the court that the money has never been found, the defendant was never caught with it, there is no CCTV footage of him taking it, and he did not "flash the cash" by buying expensive items.
The theft is alleged to have happened between December, 2011, and July, 2012, until Kempster's line manager Kate Connelly, who he worked with in the gold room, noticed a number of discrepancies in July, 2012, in the books relating to entries which he had signed off.
Miss Connelly informed store manager Susan Hurst.
Further investigations were made and Kempster was given disciplinary action before his employment was terminated.
The court heard how Kempster and Miss Connelly would be sent gold up from the sales assistants in the Deansgate store to weigh and price up before sending both the gold and the offer money back down to the store.
If the customer accepted, they would take the money and the gold would go back to the gold room and documented using acceptance sheets signed by the customer, before it was sent to the smelters.
If the offer was declined the customer would take back the gold and the money would go back to the gold room.
Mr Phillips criticised the company's system of inputting money into the books and spreadsheets as "ad hoc", stating that anyone could have forged a signature or accessed the gold room's computer due to low security and passwords.
Speaking to Mrs Hurst, Mr Phillips said: "If someone wanted to forge a signature no one would know if they had. Is it possible to tell who altered the spreadsheet?"
The jury at Manchester Crown Court also heard that any employee would have been able to gain access to the gold box in the safe which contained the money taken by the gold room staff because it did not have a lock on it.
However witnesses Miss Connelly and Mrs Hurst both said Kempster was the only person whose name was next to the discrepancies and argued if it was simple human error when transferring the amounts from day to day, either the money or the gold would have been found in the store.
