'Lived in worse places' Grimsby fury as 'backward' town named one of worst places in UK
Posted on January 14, 2022 by xijiniro
A recent study by iLiveHere rated the coastal Yorkshire town as the 18th worst place to live, with Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire coming last. Grimsby was described in the rankings as "backward, cold and unfriendly", but residents reacted with pride to their home town, despite its perceived faults.
Speaking to GrimsbyLive, Emma Dillon said: "I moved here four years ago and have absolutely no regrets. I've lived in worse places."
Meanwhile, Caroline Mole said: "I love living in Grimsby, I'm very proud of my town and no matter where you live, you always have some problems as that is just the way of the world.
"We are blessed where we live. We have the beach, the woods, and people are very friendly and happy to help each other, I love living here."
Danielle Hill, who recently moved to the area, said: "I moved up here mid-2021 and [it] is one of the best places I have ever lived – in fact, the best place I have lived.

He added: "The vilification of those people is completely unjust. That was the real eye opener."
However, other residents of the town – which sits on the estuary of the river Humber, south of Hull – were less complimentary about Grimsby.
Helena Richardson said: "It's a dump and will take more than an unnecessary new bridge and some landscaping near the church to sort out."
A new footbridge in the town was opened in June last year, as part of a £20million regeneration project with Government funding.
It formed part of a £3.5million makeover of Grimsby's riverside.
Similarly, Norman Edwards commented: "I have lived in Scunthorpe, Kings Lynn, Boston and now Grimsby – and I can tell you it should be number one of worst places to live. What an absolute dump.
"Crime is high, rubbish in all the town streets and alley ways; I'll be glad to see the back of it.
"People who stick up for Grimsby are clearly untraveled and haven't seen other places."

Oil dips on rising US supply, potential Venezuela production investment
2 min read . Updated: 29 Aug 2018, 01:19 PM IST Henning Gloystein, Reuters
In the US, crude inventories rose by 38,000 barrels to 405.7 million barrels in the week to 24 August
Singapore: Oil prices fell on Wednesday, pulled down by a reported rise in US crude inventories and hopes that a plunge in Venezuela's output could be halted. International Brent crude oil futures were at $75.69 per barrel at 0654 GMT, down 26 cents, or 0.3%, from their last close.
US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were down 12 cents, or 0.2%, at $68.41 a barrel.
In the US, crude inventories rose by 38,000 barrels to 405.7 million barrels in the week to 24 August, industry group the American Petroleum Institute said on Tuesday.
"The API reported surprisingly flat numbers to a market expecting a reasonable draw in crude and a build in products," said Sukrit Vijayakar, director of oil consultancy Trifecta.
Official US fuel inventory and crude production data will be published on Wednesday by the Energy Information Administration (EIA).
Traders said that reports of potential investment into Venezuela's struggling oil production also impacted markets. Crude exports from the crisis-struck OPEC-member have dropped by half since 2016 to below 1 million barrels per day (bpd).
To stem tumbling output, Venezuelan state-run oil firm PDVSA said on Tuesday it had signed a $430 million investment agreement to increase production by 640,000 bpd at 14 oil fields, although given the country's political and economic instability, many analysts doubted whether this investment would go through.
Despite the risk of disruption especially from OPEC-countries like Venezuela, Iran, Libya and Nigeria, Bank of America Merrill Lynch said global supply could climb towards year-end. "Heading into 4Q18, we expect rising non-OPEC oil production as supply outages abate and greenfield projects ramp up," the US bank said in a note.
"Currently, non-OPEC supply outages are at a 15-month high of 730,000 bpd. However, nearly half of these volumes are in the process of being restored," it said.
Adding to that will be new production in Canada, Brazil and from the United States, which the bank said "should provide a substantial boost to non-OPEC supplies" during the second-half of the year "taming upside pressures on Brent crude oil prices".
Bank of America said it expected Brent prices to be in a $65 to $80 per barrel range "until Iran sanctions start to bite" in the first-half of 2019.
Despite prospects of rising supplies, traders said crude markets remained relatively tight, largely because of the prospect of US sanctions against Iran, which will start to target its oil industry from November. Bowing to pressure from Washington, many crude buyers have already reduced orders from OPEC's third-biggest producer.
Although Tehran is offering steep discounts, Iran's August crude oil and condensate loadings are estimated at 2.06 million barrels per day (bpd), versus a peak of 3.09 million bpd in April, trade flows data on Thomson Reuters Eikon showed.

About EITI
About SOCAR
AZERBAIJAN ANONYMOUS EXPLAINED
Anar Alizade
JVs and tendering
Oil Contracts and Sumato Energy
SOCAR Petroleum CJSC
The purpose of the following is to explain the formation of SOCAR Petroleum CJSC and its relationship with A.P. International.
SOCAR Petroleum CJSC was established in 2008 as a joint venture between SOCAR and A.P. International. The purpose of SOCAR Petroleum was to manage the sale and purchase of petroleum products in Azerbaijan through the operation of filling stations across the country. The shareholder structure of SOCAR Petroleum CJSC granted SOCAR a 51% ownership stake, while A.P. International held the remaining 49%.
A.P. International was a subsidiary of Union Grand Energy – one of Mr Alizade's core companies. A.P. International was invited by SOCAR to partner in the SOCAR Petroleum CJSC entity based on advantages that A.P. International possessed at the time. A.P. International held valuable assets in property and land which were suitable for the construction of terminals, stations and other facilities. Additionally, based on experience with Mr Alizade, SOCAR was confident of his financial capacity to invest in the project.
Along with the share capital, both shareholders paid tens of millions as investments into the company. A.P. International also contributed to the joint venture through the transferal of terminals and specific lands necessary for the construction of a chain of petrol stations.
SOCAR Petroleum's activities are in the storage, distribution and retail sale of oil products in the Azerbaijani market. SOCAR Petroleum is made up of a total of 23 petrol storage depots (PSD) and 17 petrol stations (PS) in Baku and in the regions of Azerbaijan. SOCAR Petroleum's PSDs operate in Baku and the regions. The PS segment includes 17 petrol stations, 11 of which were located in Baku, with the other seven located in the regions. The PSD segment includes 11 operating oil depots: one located in Baku, with the other 10 located in the regions. The PSD in Baku buys its products directly from the Baku oil refinery through pipelines. However, for PSDs in the region, petrol products are delivered by rail and a fixed delivery charge per ton is charged. The Company started to separate PSD consumers into two groups based on the regulated selling price: distribution to Petrol stations and direct sales to retail customers (generally corporate clients). The PS segment began in 2010. Products are delivered to the stations from PSDs by trucks owned by the Company. The product range includes main petroleum products (AI-92, AI-95, AI-98, and diesel fuel) as well as limited sales of natural gas. Sales of AI-92 petrol have the largest market share.
The Company purchases oil products from SOCAR at government regulated prices – which is open to all retailers in Azerbaijan – to distribute to PSs (Company and non-Company petrol stations) and through direct sales to corporate clients. The petrol stations provide a range of services in addition to gasoline sales, including mini-markets, café, auto repair and maintenance and car wash services.
In 2013, SOCAR purchased the 49% ownership stake from Mr Alizade through the purchase of A.P. International for US$ 47 million, which represented the book value of the investments made by Union Grand Energy Group in the joint venture. Since 2013 SOCAR has held sole ownership of SOCAR Petroleum CJSC.
Mr Alizade and A.P. International were vital to the establishment of SOCAR Petroleum CJSC. A.P. International supplied substantial financing and infrastructure at a time when SOCAR would not have been able to supply the financing by itself. SOCAR is now the sole owner of SOCAR Petroleum CJSC and is able to manage the sale and purchase of petroleum products in 17 petrol stations across the country.
The independent business valuation of SOCAR Petroleum performed by "Big Four" advisory firm indicates that as of 31 December 2013, the estimated fair value of SOCAR's 51% equity interest in SOCAR Petroleum stood at more than $95 million. On the basis of this valuation it can be seen that due to SOCAR's effective market strategy, Mr Alizade's shares in SOCAR Petroleum were purchased by SOCAR at effectively half its fair value.

Proposed changes to major bottleneck on Brighton main line
Network Rail is seeking to remove the UK's most operationally challenging railway junction as a public consultation on the scheme enters its final month.
Located to the north of East Croydon station, the flat junctions regularly cause delays to the 1,700 trains that pass through the area each weekday, as trains often need to stop to allow others to pass in front of them. This creates a bottleneck that amplifies delays on the Brighton Main Line, its branches and the wider network.
The proposed solution is to replace the flat junctions with new viaducts, bridges and dive-unders to separate the tracks This would create clear routes for trains and remove the current need for trains to wait at red signals for others to pass, resulting in a significant boost in service reliability.
John Halsall, Network Rail managing director, southern region, said: "I'm really pleased to see we've already had a strong response to the public consultation, and encourage both Brighton Main Line passengers and communities along the line of route who have yet to do so, to take the time to give us their feedback.
"We know these proposals are critical as they are the only way to deliver a combination of more reliable, more frequent and faster services for passengers on the Brighton main line and its branches."

OREGON has one of the greatest varieties of landscapes, from high desert to wild coastlines to dense old-growth forests. The number of great places is impressive because as soon as you're outside any city you are faced with seemingly untouched natural areas. The quality is at its best, because low population, respectful people sensitive to environmental wellness, and environmentally-friendly policies help preserve what the land has to offer.
There are many secluded and lesser-known natural destinations that are truly beautiful. Here are nine.
The Owyhee River is in Oregon's very south-eastern tip, one of the least visited areas of the state and, therefore, one of the most pristine. The river created the Owyhee Canyonlands by cutting deep canyons with cliffs up to 1,000ft high in the high desert landscape. You can see red rocks and green shrubs for miles — or if you are boating the river, until the next bend of the canyon blocks your view.
Click here to know how to get there.
It is called the Blue Pool for its clear, calm and gem-like waters. The pool is formed by the waters of the McKenzie River seeping up through lava rock. The Pool is surrounded at the very edge by either overhanging rock walls or tall trees. It feels private and quiet. The hike there is not long but you need to know the right trail, which is narrow and crosses old wooden bridges.
The Alvord Desert lies west of the Owyhee River, with towering Steens Mountain as its backdrop. The desert is a flat, crumbled-earth expanse, the remains of a deep lake from ages ago. The desert's emptiness contrasts with the high-desert landscape right at its boundaries and the snowy peaks of Steens Mountain.
The light show known as 'The Happening' makes this spot one of the most unique in Oregon. If you're lucky, you'll be here with the right conditions for the sun to create a new colorful world reflecting in the sky, on the ground, and all around you.
This spot can be accessed by an inland trail from the US-101, if you look for Floras Lake State Park. Clear direction signs have only recently been put up. From the Point there is an unobstructed long-range view of the cliffs which characterize this stretch of coast. They fall straight down to a narrow strip of sand battered by the wild Pacific. The beach trail can be hiked, but only at low tide. When the tide is changing and the fog rolls in from inland, the view is quite eerie.
The Falls are between Bend and Mt. Bachelor, off the Cascade Lakes National Scenic Byway. They are reachable by trail, but you won't see them until you are on top of them or below them. They seem to appear out of nowhere, hidden behind the thick forest of jutting trees. It looks as if the Tumalo Creek riverbed collapsed 97 feet below, creating a hidden arena.
Just north of Detroit Lake, Opal Creek flows through a rugged landscape characterized by dense forest and humid thick undergrowth that is a signature of Oregon's forests. Follow the clear cold Creek, going west. You'll pass several lakes and up to 50 waterfalls. The Opal Creek Valley forms the largest intact stand of old growth forest in the Western Cascades, with towering centuries-old Douglas firs. Through the thick canopy, you might spot some giants standing high above the already tall forest.
The entrance of the Cave is an opening in the ground south of Bend. The floor sharply drops down right away and the trail disappears in the darkness. This is the longest intact lava tube in Oregon. The tube's shape stays roughly the same throughout. The interesting spot, about halfway, is the Sand Garden, where volcanic ashes and silt are brought in by seeping water, forming spires and pinnacles.
Crack in the Ground is in central Oregon in the middle of an expanse of high desert. This landscape feature is a narrow, 2-mile long volcanic fissure with varying shape, depth (up to 70-foot), and width. Once inside, the temperature can drop several degrees in just a few steps. The rock walls resemble pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, matching perfectly the opposite side. Inside and outside the Crack, it's almost completely silent, although you might hear the occasional bird or rodent.
The Wallowa Mountains are one of the Seven Wonders of Oregon, but given this mountain-range size, its remote location (the north-west corner of the state), and other nearby more-known destinations (Snake River and Blue Mountains), you can hike all day without meeting many people, if any at all. The peaks are snow-covered often and for long periods of time, creating a visual contrast with the many different shades of green of the valley.

FORT BRAGG, N.C. -- Soldiers continue to help evacuate residents in flood-ravaged communities along North Carolina's coastal plains days after Hurricane Florence made landfall.
Army personnel have rescued a total of 372 residents and evacuated another 47 in both North and South Carolina, while more than 9,000 Soldiers are supporting the hurricane relief efforts.
The National Guard conducted about 125 rescue missions alone on Tuesday, said Lt. Col. Matt DeVivo, North Carolina National Guard public affairs officer. He said water levels continue to stay at dangerously high levels and in some areas have even risen.
DeVivo said he expects the National Guard to continue operations for at least the next 72 hours and possibly through the weekend. More than 3,100 North Carolina Guardsmen still remain engaged in rescue operations, along with about 350 Guardsmen from neighboring states.
"We're not going anywhere anytime soon," DeVivo said. "Until we know the rivers have crested and the waters start to recede and communities can try to get back to some semblance of normalcy. Thousands have been displaced. And it's going to be a challenge, but we're ready to support the state well after the waters have receded."
National Guard helicopters, working in conjunction with state and federal agencies, have delivered more than 61,000 pounds of relief supplies.
"I'm very impressed with the states -- both South Carolina and North Carolina; they have responded and pushed forward and were proactive," said Lt. Gen. Timothy Kadavy, Army National Guard director. "They had Soldiers. They had High-Water Vehicles. They had aircraft out and ready to respond. They (were) ready to do whatever they were asked to do by their governors and local communities."
The hurricane's effects were less severe in South Carolina, but residents in the northern section of the state also experienced heavy flooding. Eight people died due to the high waters or fallen trees.
Guard members are still taking part in search and rescue missions in both states and have been responding to high-water emergencies -- residents trapped in stalled vehicles or stranded in flooded areas.
"We've dealt with this before, but not at these record levels," said Maj. Gen. Bob Livingston, adjutant general of the South Carolina National Guard. "(Florence) slowed down and picked up a tremendous amount of water. The winds dropped dramatically."
Livingston lauded the efforts of the South Carolina Guard, which began evacuations early on the morning of Sept. 11.
"Difficult conditions to work under," Livingston said. "But it's amazing; they've got smiles and continue to drive on."
Members of the National Guard from as far as Illinois, Virginia and Tennessee helped with relief efforts as communities along the coastal plains were swamped with flooding and power outages.
Soldiers in tactical vehicles have been rescuing displaced residents in waist-high water.
U.S. Army North has been helping coordinate relief efforts from forward command posts in Raleigh, North Carolina and Columbia, South Carolina. The command provided 80 high-wheeled tactical vehicles along with 60 palletized load trucks for transporting supplies.
Multi-component task forces faced the difficult challenge of navigating safe routes through flooded areas at night.
"The waters are moving so rapidly and there's so much water," said Col. Ed Hayes, Task Force 51 operations officer. "You could plan a route, and all of a sudden, that road is blocked off."
The Army Corps of Engineers installed power generators at locations throughout North Carolina. Soldiers from the 249th Engineering Battalion out of Fort Belvoir, Virginia, installed power at a storm shelter in Clayton, North Carolina; at Vidant Duplin Hospital in Kenansville; Cherry Hospital in Goldsboro; and the Rayford Waste and Water treatment facility in Whiteville, North Carolina.
DeVivo said the National Guard remains committed to the residents in affected communities.
"(The hurricane) is nothing our state can't overcome," he said. "It was challenging, but it's not over by any means."

Suntech develops, manufactures, and delivers solar energy solutions. It uses R&D and customer-centric innovations to produce crystalline silicon solar cells, modules and photovoltaic ('PV') powered products. Suntech exports the majority of its products to international markets, mainly Europe, and has supplied more than 8 GWs photovoltaic panels to over 1,000 customers in more than 80 countries.
Actis invested in Suntech in 2005, as the demand for solar technologies was being fuelled by increasing recognition among governments of the need to move towards renewable forms of energy.
Suntech needed to expand its business to become an international player and restructure for an offshore listing. It also needed to raise funds to buy out the state-owned shareholders, strengthen its shareholder base and raise its profile.
Actis' investment formed part of a larger transaction, raised through other investors, including Goldman Sachs and Natexis. Timing was critical: Suntech needed to move quickly. Actis' experience of executing these types of transactions enabled us to respond quickly to Suntech's needs and the deal was completed in four weeks. After the IPO, Suntech rose to eighth position (from tenth) in the global PV producers ranking, and a further boost to its production capacity earned it a third place in 2006.
Post-listing, Actis worked with Suntech to improve corporate governance and financial reporting, recruit a CFO and explore opportunities in new markets where Actis has a presence, such as Africa and Latin America. Suntech's economic performance grew strongly during Actis' involvement: between 2005 and 2007 turnover increased by almost 1500% and employment by 400%.
The company's visibility was enhanced through its involvement in public projects: in 2006 it won the contract to be the sole provider of solar power for Beijing Bird's Nest Stadium, which hosted the Olympic Games in 2008.
By the time of Actis' exit in 2007 Suntech was established as a leading global photovoltaic manufacturer with sales partners in four continents.

Tom Colicchio is Franchising His Fast Casual
One of the food world's most influential figures just franchised his sandwich fast casual and is looking to go big on expansion.
Franchising | October 2019 | Sam Oches
'Wichcraft
Chef Tom Colicchio's Crafted Hospitality launched the sandwich fast casual 'Wichcraft in 2003.
There are a lot of sandwich franchises out in the world, but none have a founder with as much culinary cache as the latest entry into the space.
Tom Colicchio is franchising his sandwich fast casual 'Wichcraft, a brand that pre-dated much of the fast-casual category when it first opened in 2003. The renowned chef—owner of fine-dining restaurants like Craft, Riverpark, and Temple Court, and the head judge on Bravo TV's popular show "Top Chef"—is looking to scale the concept, and says franchising is the most logical model to do so.
"For me, I just looked at it and said, if I actually want to grow this thing, and get it to 200 stores in the next five or seven years, I can't do it on my own—especially because I have one hand in 'Wichcraft and one hand in my restaurants," Colicchio says. "Reality sets in."

Colicchio adds that he doesn't want to open any new shops in his home market of New York City. While 'Wichcraft's food and labor costs are aligned with industry norms, he says, rent and occupancy costs are "through the roof." Add to that a saturation of restaurant concepts in New York—particularly in the fast-casual category—and the greatest potential for 'Wichcraft to grow lays outside the Big Apple.
The brand's small New York footprints are also such that it has to cook in a commissary rather than on-site—something of a disadvantage for a concept designed around chef-crafted sandwiches. Colicchio plans to change that in franchise locations.
"With the fried chicken craze right now, we can't do that because we don't have a fryer," he says. "We can't do grilled meats and things like that. There's a limit to what we can do, and we're looking to change that. Going outside the city, we're looking for a larger footprint and more ability to do a little bit more."
'Wichcraft's chef-driven sandwich options include the Grilled Flank Steak & Kale.
'Wichcraft's growth history has been something of a roller coaster. At one point the concept had nearly 20 locations, including shops in Las Vegas and San Francisco. But business went south, and by 2016 several had closed. At that point, Colicchio told QSR in 2017, the team realized they would need to overhaul the business structure in order to set 'Wichcraft up for success.
"It was a point in our business where we had to make some drastic changes because we were starting to fall behind," Colicchio told QSR then. "We were starting to see some stores not work out. That's the thing: It wasn't just about rebranding and redesigning the stores. … It was more of a, 'We need to grow up.' We were treating it like a restaurant, and it's not a restaurant. It's a different business."
So 'Wichcraft underwent a soups-to-nuts rebrand, tweaking everything from store design and logo to menu and the make line. And while its store count has shrunk to four—all in New York—Colicchio says the restaurants are now profitable, and that the company has "cleaned up" the operation. President Dan Guaricci is running operations, leaning on his past experience as director of operations for Pret A Manger.
The rebrand, Colicchio adds, succeeded in creating a fast-casual concept that was more in line with consumer expectations. 'Wichcraft's chef-driven menu, which now includes seasonal options, is also more familiar to the masses who have a bevy of quality fast-casual restaurants available at their fingertips. A Roasted Sweet Potato & Brie sandwich shares the menu with a Grilled Flank Steak & Kale option, but also Turkey & Avocado and Cubano offerings.
Colicchio says the rebrand also allowed 'Wichcraft to set up a restaurant concept that is fully formed and ready for franchisees.
"We already went through all of the hard work in being able to hand someone a package and say, 'Here's the plan,'" Colicchio says. "A lot of the hard work was done, it was really a matter of getting our legal work done and redoing our operations manual and things like that."
With everything in place, Colicchio and his team are now looking for experienced fast-casual franchisees who want something "a little more upscale, a little more chef-driven" that they can add to their portfolio mix. He hopes to do 10 stores in the franchise program's first year, and maybe 20 the year after.
The priority, he adds, is to find franchisees who are also operators—not just someone who hires other people to run it for them. While the chef once figured franchising would never be a fit for him, he says he's come to understand that good franchisees with a passion for their brands are just as good as the founders and executives at running good restaurants—if not even better.
"You start looking around, you look at the franchise model, you start meeting some people who own several franchises, and they're like, 'It's our business, we run it, we know it's a tight business, we're there, we're in our stores, and we have a passion too,'" Colicchio says. "Just because they're not conceiving a concept doesn't mean they're any less passionate about it."

Since the counterfeit revivals of the mid 80's there has been a claim by many Latter Rain /Word of Faith groups that the church is going to take over the world, taking control of the governments, businesses and every other aspect of life. Movements such as the Toronto "Blessing", Brownsville "Outpouring", Word of Faith, New Apostolic Reformation, Emergent Church, and many other related Latter Rain movements have been claiming that they are making radical changes in people's lives due to miracles, prophecies, dead raisings, and growing numbers of people attending mega churches. So by now, in 2014, we should be seeing the effects of this wonderful scenario that the false apostles, false prophets, false teachers, and false Christs of these movements have predicted.
Where is the actual proof that Dominion IS is working?
The answer is that what we're seeing in society and in the church shows that it is not only NOT working but these Latter Rain features may actually be driving the world to hell and the church into apostasy faster than might have been otherwise. To prove my point I want to quote from the latest statistics put out in a new Harris Poll of 12/17/13 entitled "Americans' Belief in God, Miracles and Heaven Declines - Belief in Darwin's theory of evolution rises" to show you what is actually going on and then I will comment on it. However, just to further prove my point that the Latter Rainers don't have a clue what is actually going on, notice the retitling of this Harris Poll in the CNS News article: "Poll: Americans' Belief in God Is Strong--But Declining" Note the slant they give the facts that "belief in God is strong" because they are tied to the New Apostolic. But this facts was not the first thing I noticed about the Harris Poll.
Absolute certainty that there is a God down vs. 10 years ago: In a separate line of questioning, focused on Americans' degree of certainty that there is or is not a God, two thirds of Americans (68%) indicate being either absolutely or somewhat certain that there is a God, while 54% specify being absolutely certain; these figures represent drops of 11 and 12 percentage points, respectively, from 2003 testing, where combined certainty was at 79% and absolute certainty was at 66%.
Meanwhile, combined belief that there is no God (16%) and uncertainty as to whether or not there is a God (also 16%) are both up from 2003 findings (when these levels were 9% and 12%, respectively).
Outside of specific religious samples, the groups most likely to be absolutely certain there is a God include blacks (70%), Republicans (65%), Matures (62%) and Baby Boomers (60%), Southerners (61%) and Midwesterners (58%), and those with a high school education or less (60%). (emphasis mine).
So, to summarize, belief in God is down while belief in evolution is up. Almost any biblical believer would site the influences of secular schools, TV, movies, books and leaders who are Godless as a reason for these statistics. But many Christians, following the Dominionists, either willingly or unwittingly, are taught to believe that the Church will usher in the return of Christ by handing Him a Christian world on a silver platter. The fact of the matter is, the churches (not the Church) are the reason why this is happening. When the emphasis went off the Gospel and on to signs and wonders, church growth, seeker friendly, contemplative prayer, hyped up revivals with slain in the spirit, and now trending ever more heavily into Inclusivism and Universalism, this Harris Poll only documents the decline of true Christianity in this world and the rise of secularism, humanism, pop psychology, New Age, and pantheism. How can the world believe in God when they have no internal relationship on which to base that idea? A person has to be changed from the inside out by hearing and believing the Gospel message and repentance of sin. They cannot be "Christianized" from without because the Bible tells us that in the end times the churches will apostatize, not secure some glorious victory in this fallen world. This decline is happening because the Gospel has been left by the roadside.

A big march in Washington this month will get headlines, but the real action, green groups believe, needs to make waves on election days.
Activists planning the People's Climate March in Washington, D.C. on April 29 are mapping out a far more ambitious trek than that day's walk from the Capitol to the White House. They are trying to turn rage over the Trump administration's rollback of climate change policy and budget cuts targeting science into actual political clout.
Tens of thousands of demonstrators organized by 50 groups that represent millions of members plan to demand that political leaders preserve protections for the environment and public health and invest in a clean energy economy. The march will culminate a week of activism that begins with the March for Science on April 22, followed by lobbying visits on Capitol Hill, rallies outside federal agencies and national and local candidate training workshops. There will be more than 250 People's Climate Marches held across the country and overseas.
The march will be the first major demonstration of how the climate movement is regrouping since the election last November, when Republicans not only won the White House but also nearly every Congressional race that environmental groups had tried to sway. In the first 100 days of the Trump administration, activists have witnessed the dismantling of climate and environmental policy.
They have protested, to no avail, someone who denies basic climate science being named to head the Environmental Protection Agency and a former oil executive to lead the State Department. The Clean Power Plan has been targeted for elimination, every federal climate science and research program is in jeopardy, the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines have been approved, and U.S. participation in the Paris climate agreement is uncertain. March organizers are grappling with how to mount effective resistance against the assault.
"A march is great and all—it's great to show power and show force," said Mike Williams, vice president of the Blue-Green Alliance, a labor-environmental coalition and one of the march's organizers. "But a lot of the focus is on how do we turn this into a true big, deep movement-building effort?"
Polls indicate growing public understanding of the climate change problem, with 76 percent of American voters calling themselves "very concerned" or "somewhat concerned" about global warming, according to a recent Quinnipiac University Poll. But the movement has not been able to turn climate action into a voting issue, even as public protests, particularly against fossil fuel infrastructure projects, swell and spread nationwide.
Activists' hope now is that the Trump administration's actions are a wake-up call that convinces people who care about climate change to become politically engaged.
"A big part of it is about voicing massive opposition to the Trump administration and their rollbacks on climate action," said Maura Cowley, associate director of the federal and international climate campaign for Sierra Club. "But I think this event is galvanizing the movement in other ways. We have communities from across the country that have been directly impacted by climate change or the fossil fuel industry involved. We're seeing people across the country really looking deeply into what their cities and towns and states can be doing to address climate change, and trying to build a buffer at the local level to Trump's attacks."
Climate activists had selected April 29 as a day of mobilization long before they knew that they'd be locked in battle with the Trump administration. Planning began last summer, with People's Climate March organizers hoping to reprise a 2014 protest in New York, when more than 400,000 people took to the streets ahead of a United Nations summit. It was the largest climate march in history. Organizers believe that the outpouring had helped prod President Obama and set the stage for the Paris accord the following year.
A steering committee with representatives from 50 environmental, religious, labor and social justice organizations, now holds conference calls twice a week. In addition to climate advocacy group 350.org and environmental groups like Sierra Club, the League of Conservation Voters, NextGen Climate and Moms Clean Air Task Force, groups include the NAACP, the Hip Hop Caucus, more than a half-dozen labor organizations and faith groups like the Franciscan Action Network. Separate conference calls of break-out groups focus on fundraising, side events, art and music, publicity and outreach. More than 100,000 people have RSVP'd to march, but organizers say that although turnout will be an important measure of their success, they want more than numbers.
"We just had a call about making sure we had representation from everywhere—even Alaska and Hawaii," said Paul Getsos, People's Climate March national coordinator. "The most important priority we have is the broad base—building the broadest coalition possible. We want to invest in the eight buses from historically black colleges in Atlanta, Georgia. We want to make sure we have representation from Louisiana, which is so impacted by climate change."
The march organizers don't have a list of demands. Getting agreement from so many organizations would be difficult, and Getsos said the People's Climate March aims to be a "big tent" that can accommodate diverse views.
The rallying cry is anti-Trump sentiment. "These dangerous and regressive steps by the administration are motivating people who are looking for a way to fight back," said Lindsay Meiman, spokeswoman for 350.org.
"Sierra Club Thanks Donald Trump for Helping People's Climate March Recruitment," the organization said in one recent press release. The Sierra Club also is investing in its own publicity; it released an ad for the march directed by Hollywood producer Darren Aronofsky that mixes scenes of natural beauty with threats from oil spills, pollution and extreme weather.
Mark Magana, founder and chief executive of Green Latinos, said his group participated in the 2014 march in New York, but decided it wanted a bigger role, and is on the steering committee for this march. Noting that 2 in 5 Latinos live within 30 miles of the fenceline of a power plant and will suffer disproportionately from the Trump administration's planned rollbacks in clean power, he said, "We wanted to make sure that we leveraged this opportunity and this moment for the fenceline communities. To place those issues front and center in all aspects of this march for us it was absolutely critical that we lend our help in this capacity."
March organizers also are coordinating with organizers of the March for Science planned for April 22 (Earth Day) in Washington, D.C., with 400 sister marches in cities worldwide. More than 170 partner organizations, including the American Association for the Advancement of Science and American Geophysical Union, are supporting the march to protest budget cuts and censorship of research.
The science march is pointedly non-partisan; organizers said no politicians will speak at the event. Instead, there will be scientists like Mona Hanna-Attisha, the pediatrician who helped expose dangerous lead levels in drinking water in Flint, Mich. There also will be small-group teach-ins on science and its benefits. "We're trying to channel the momentum behind the march from the initial engagement of people taking to the streets to a sustained and coordinated science advocacy," says Caroline Weinberg, national co-chair of the March for Science. "Because the march isn't going to change anything unless we keep it going beyond April 22."
Another way the People's Climate March organizers hope to keep the movement going is to encourage greater local political involvement.
Organizers are planning a training session for April 30 for 200-300 activists who have been inspired to run for local and state offices. "I think the environmental movement is faced with a new reality in light of Trump," said Whit Jones, director of Lead Locally, which is coordinating the training. "It's going to be very challenging at the national level, and in order to continue to make progress, our opportunities lies within the state and local level. City governments and states can protect against fossil fuel infrastructure and can lead on renewable energy." Jones said the group hopes to identify key local elections that climate activists can target this year.
A separate training session for pro-environment women who want to run for office is being offered by EMILY'S List and a coalition of environmental and women's groups.
March organizers in Los Angeles also are focusing on Tesoro's plans to create the largest oil refinery on the West Coast with the combination of two of its facilities on the southern shore of Santa Monica bay. The route of the march is from Banning Park to the Tesoro refinery. "Climate change starts in our hoods," said an ad promoting the march by SoCal 350.org.
Williams of the Blue-Green Alliance said that such grassroots organizing is the only way the movement will be able to build the political clout it needs.
"Why aren't we making those in power fear our power? I think truly it is because we have not done a good enough job of true local grassroots organizing—of going out and talking to human beings," he said. "Even in places where we are not met kindly. We need to be talking to people, person to person."

The Celebrity Collector
Delta Burke and Gerald McRaney
Have Warehouses Full of Their Collections
By Ken Hall
Delta Burke and Gerald McRaney have accumulated so many things over the course of their lifetimes  both as a married couple and before  it probably makes sense they'd take space in an antiques mall. The couple, married for 16 years, is leasing 1,500 square feet at the recently opened Antique Galleria in Collins, Miss. Collins is where McRaney and his older brother, Buddy, were born.
"Delta will be going through a warehouse full of stuff in New Orleans soon to determine what will be brought over to Collins for sale," McRaney said, although these words were spoken prior to Hurricane Katrina, and it was unclear at press time how much damage the warehouse had sustained, if any. What's housed there is mostly antique furniture: English, French and period American.
The couple leased more than 20 banks of climate-controlled units in New Orleans. Plus, they have merchandise stored in California (near their home in Studio City) and a 5,000-square-foot warehouse in Collins that Buddy affectionately dubbed "the best little warehouse in Collins." It was, until recently, a storefront space, open to the public, offering hand-painted furniture from China.
"About two years ago, the three of us - Delta, Gerald and myself - began importing accent pieces from China, under the name McRaney Enterprises, LLC," Buddy said. "We started selling things like trunks, entertainment centers, bombé chests, dressers and vanities direct to the public. Most of it is walnut. The wood is from America. It's shipped to China, where the pieces are made."
The business, with Buddy handling the day-to-day operations, has done well, and for now the imported merchandise is what people will see when they visit the Collins mall. "Gradually," Buddy said, "we'll introduce more and more of Gerald and Delta's antique items into the mix. Just what, I can't say. It's like going through soup. There's a little bit of everything in those warehouses."
That's because the McRaneys are a couple of self-admitted packrats. "Delta got it from her mother, who probably has the first diaper she ever put on Delta's bottom as a baby," Gerald said. He talked about his wife's massive collection of porcelain dolls, which took up the bulk of two large rooms in a former residence, and her fascination with English- and French-made period furniture.
Delta wasn't available for an interview, as she was just concluding a run on Broadway in the play "Steel Magnolias." McRaney spoke on both of their behalf and mentioned how he, too, was raised around antiques. "My mother, Edna, was a freak for antiques," he said. "She had an extensive collection of demitasse cups and saucers, and there was always period furniture in the house."
Gerald remembers, as a boy, doing his homework at an English mahogany desk. That led to a fascination with campaign furniture, used by military personnel, often on safari. "Roorkee chairs, for example" he said, "which were used by British officers in India, came in three pieces. That made them easy to assemble and re-assemble when their units got orders on short notice to move out."
As a young man, McRaney would keep his eye peeled for a find. Once, he spotted a brass bed from the 1880s at a barn sale. The price: just $20. "It was layered over with varnish, but I knew I'd found something nice," he said. He added he and Delta still shop that way - with an eye on a bargain, wherever they happen to be. A few of the items they've accumulated along the way include:
A vetrine, or small display case, purchased while the couple was in Paris on their honeymoon. It's from the early 1800s, about four feet tall, made of a darkwood, possibly ebony, and with beveled glass.
A four-poster Natchez rosewood bed, currently in storage in New Orleans. It's about 200 years old, with a cover on top.
A darkwood china cabinet, English, about 150 years old, with hand-carved hunting scenes on it. The piece was purchased from the M.S. Rau antiques shop in New Orleans.
A hand-made, 12-gauge shotgun. (McRaney collects shotguns and hunting rifles and owns more than 20 pieces). He bought it at a shop in London called Holland & Holland in 1989, while on location making a film.
Ironically, the McRaney's home in California is contemporary and, with low ceilings doesn't lend itself well to the display of antique furniture, much of which tends to be large. So, except for an English breakfront in the living room, the bulk of their treasure is in storage  for now. Someday, when they retire, they'll appreciate what they have accumulated over the many years  or sell it!
Gerald McRaney was born Aug. 19, 1947, in Collins, to parents Clyde, a builder, and Edna. He's half Scottish, half Choctaw Indian. The family moved twice when Gerald was a boy, first to Picayune, then to Natchez. He injured his knee playing football in high school and joined the drama club. "Mac" (his nickname) worked in the oil fields as a young man, but he continued his acting, too.
McRaney attended the University of Mississippi for a short time and later became an assistant stage manager at a New Orleans repertory company. His first marriage, to Beverly Root, produced a daughter, Jessica, and a son, Angus, who was born deaf. He divorced and remarried to Patricia Rae Moran and the couple adopted a daughter, Katie. His first TV appearance was in 1969.
Fame would take its time finding McRaney, but he finally got a break when he landed a lead part in the series, "Simon & Simon" (1981-85). His character, Rick Simon, was passionate but irresponsible, and the role proved that McRaney could handle a dramatic role with a comedic edge. It was the perfect segue into another successful series, "Major Dad" (1989-93), a situation comedy.
McRaney met Burke when they were presenters at a Hollywood awards luncheon and were seated together. He later was a guest on "Designing Women." The couple's marriage in 1989 was a cover story in People magazine, which attests to their popularity at the time. Today, McRaney is a regular on the HBO series "Deadwood" and hosts an outdoor adventure show on the OLN Network.
Delta Ramona Leah Burke was born July 30, 1956, in Orlando, Fla. She's become so closely identified with her character in "Designing Women," Suzanne Sugarbaker, that many assume she's from the Deep South, or at least not from Florida. But not only is Delta a Floridian, she won the title of Miss Florida at the age of 17 and competed in the Miss America contest, representing her state.
She didn't win the beauty pageant, but she did win a talent scholarship, which she used to attend a two-year study program at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts. She returned to the States and, within a month landed roles in two mini-series: "The Seekers" (1979) and "The Chisolms" (1980). That led to a leading role in the series "Filthy Rich" (1982) and "1st & 10" (1984).
But these were mere warmups for what was to become the role of a lifetime: the co-lead in one of the most popular situation comedies of all time, "Designing Women" (1986-1993). In it, Delta played a shallow ex-beauty queen who, with her sister (Julia Sugarbaker, played by Dixie Carter) ran a successful design firm out of Julia's Atlanta home. Annie Potts and Jean Smart also starred.
The McRaneys' 1989 wedding
was a cover story in People magazine, attesting to their popularity at the time.
Both stars continue their acting careers. McRaney is in the HBO
hit series "Deadwood," while
Burke was just on Broadway in "Steel Magnolias."
Delta Burke's massive collection
of porcelain dolls took up most of two rooms in a house she and Gerald previously lived in.
McRaney's first big break came when he was cast in the hit show "Simon & Simon" (1981-88). He played the passionate but irresponsible Rick Simon.

Do you guys remember the story of Aron Ralston? They made a movie about his ordeal called 127 hours. He was climbing in Utah when a boulder moved and pinned his arm against a canyon wall. He tried everything to remove the boulder. A couple of days passed. He was cold. He was out of water. No one was coming to his aid. He knew the only way he would make it out of there was to free himself. So, he decided to cut off his arm. He used a pocketknife, and it took a long time. Amazingly, after doing such a thing, he rappelled 65 feet to the canyon floor and walked out. That is a crazy story. But better to be alive and have one arm than to have two arms and be dead.
I always think of that story when I read Matthew 5:30. The question that I want to ask everyone in this mini-sermon, is there an area in your life that you need to cut off, that you need to deal with? Maybe right now as you are reading these words, you are thinking about it. God sees it, just as though it were written over your head. You have rationalized it and have somehow managed to find a way to live with it. But right now, it has come to the forefront of your mind. That could be the compromise in your life. That could be the thing that will bring you down.
The psalmist said, "If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear" (Psalm 66:18). That means if we hang on to sin in our lives, God will not hear our prayers.
Do you believe your sin is a secret? Do you think you have covered your steps? Secret sin on earth is an open scandal in Heaven. The Bible says, "Be sure your sin will find you out" (Numbers 32:23). There are no secrets with God. He is aware of our sin. Cutting off sin can is not always easy. Sometimes it takes a while and can also be painful, but it always gives us freedom. God Bless!

Ez Sleep Med Center Prescott Valley Az
Sometimes the mattress market can become overwhelming and overcrowded. There are thousands of brands, sizes and models to choose from. It can be difficult to find the right one for you. You need a bed that conforms to your body and lasts for longer periods of time.
Were you aware that one brand can offer all of these options and more? We'll be looking at Sleep EZ today, a family-owned latex mattress specialist. We'll also check out some of its most popular models. It's possible to be pleasantly surprised at how customizable you can make your bed.
Sleep EZ: An Overview Ez Sleep Med Center Prescott Valley Az
Sleep EZ is a family-owned company that specializes in organically-sourced latex mattresses and other types of bed-related needs. Although it was founded in 1966 under the name Wolfe Manufacturing and trademarked in 1976 by the company, the Sleep EZ brand was not acquired or trademarked until around ten year later. Before that, 'Sleep EZ" had been in existence since 1935. It has been a leader in latex mattress manufacturing, ensuring that its outstanding line-up is safe for all.
Based in Phoenix, Arizona, Sleep EZ offers a wide range of comfortable and exceptionally durable mattresses, each suited for every household. If you're into latex beds, you may have come across its top-performing organic and natural latex mattresses, the Roma bed, and the hybrid collection. It also sells accessories and specialty mattresses. Today, Sleep EZ is still owned by the Wolfe family of mattress experts, this time of the third generation.
Sleep EZ's Cons:
According to the official website of Sleep EZ, they currently sell these mattress models. Most of their materials here are naturally sourced and generally safe for the whole family to use and sleep on. They also have complied to a number of environmental standard certificates that further assures that the processes they have been subjected to don't produce any dangerous outcomes. Let's now take a closer look at the best-selling latex mattress that a specialist in the field has to offer.
The Select Sleep Organic Latex Mattress is one of the most sought-after products from Sleep EZ. It uses 100% organic materials and, true to its title, complies with organic certifications such as Oeko-Tex. The bed is made up of three layers of Talalay or Dunlop latex. Each layer can be ordered in a variety of comfort levels, from soft to firm. The cover is a mix of organic cotton, natural wool.
Wholly organic and highly breathable construction and feel
People who have allergies or suffer from breathing problems due to contact with synthetic surfaces should consider the Select Sleep Organic Latex Mattress. It's also ideal for those looking for a bed that they can adjust by themselves. Ez Sleep Med Center Prescott Valley Az
Also known as the Natural Lifetime Dream Mattress, Sleep EZ's Natural Latex model offers sleepers the same fantastic features as the previously mentioned Organic Latex bed. Only the quality of the construction and the final price are the only differences between the two beds. For one, while the latter is made of 100% organic materials, the former has none but it is all-natural. This model starts at $200, which is a significant discount.
As with the organic variant, the Select Sleep Natural Latex Mattress is ideal for sleepers who may want a fully customizable model. For those who are somewhat interested in the previous bed but are running short on budget, this may be a great choice as well. Ez Sleep Med Center Prescott Valley Az
The Roma's construction is made out of 100% top-to-bottom natural latex, and the impressively quilted cotton cover has traces of synthetic material woven into it. Though it may not be all-natural nor all-organic, it is CertiPUR-US-certified, which means you get lesser VOC emissions as you open it from the plastic wrap packaging. In addition, its latex and covers have enough breathable properties needed for a cool night's sleep.
Twin: $549 (without foundation) ~ $749 (with Natural Wood 8″ foundation)
The overall construction quality is a downgrade compared to its higher-priced counterparts
The Select Sleep Hybrid Mattress has everything you can expect from a high-quality Sleep EZ latex bed, but this time, it includes eight inches' worth of Bolsa ComfortCore pocketed coils sandwiched between a 3″ latex surface on one side and 2″ on the other. The Select Sleep Hybrid Mattress offers the same customizable functions as its all latex counterparts. What sets it off the edge from others is its much stronger edge support contributed by the construction frame. Ez Sleep Med Center Prescott Valley Az
For those wondering if the previous model has an upgraded version, look no further than the Select Sleep 360 Hybrid Pillowtop mattress. This bed is unique because it offers sleepers extra comfort and conforms to their bodies thanks to its 3″ adjustable latex pillowstop. The mattress also features a quilted organic cotton wool cover that can be easily removed using a 360-degree zipper. This allows sleepers to adjust the firmness of the mattress at any time.
Sleep EZ sold the Luxerion Natural Latex Hybrid model at one time, but this has since been discontinued. It may be available online and at third-party mattress retailers in the United States. Sleep EZ offers a few bed accessories, including zippered covers and latex pillows. It also sells bed foundations from wood to adjustable bases.
Customers also stated that shipping was fast and easy. If there's one thing that customers can attest to the most, it's Sleep EZ's opportunity to let them build and customize whichever type of firmness they may like: for instance, they can adjust the comfort level of any of the select mattresses' layers before they could check out and wait for them to be delivered.
We love the flexibility and customizability of its mattresses. As previously mentioned, customers can either change up the firmness levels of select models however they like or rearrange the layers themselves if they aren't feeling the current structure. Flippable mattresses can also be modified in the same way.
There's something for everyone, no matter what kind of bed you choose. That's why the Sleep EZ brand is so underrated. Other popular brands may offer sleepers lots of diversity, but not as much as Sleep EZ.
FAQ Ez Sleep Med Center Prescott Valley Az
Sleep EZ uses bed in a box delivery for all mattress models and ships them all over the USA and Canada. The company's delivery policy states that free shipping applies only to the US continental states. Customers in Alaska and Hawaii will have to pay $99 extra. Canadian customers will be charged $149 per box.
Yes! Every mattress in the current Sleep EZ line-up comes with a 90-night trial period. It also offers a 20-year warranty on Select Sleep Organic Latex models, and a ten year warranty on the Roma Latex model. Ez Sleep Med Center Prescott Valley Az

Rehousing Cinema: From 'Cinema Paradiso' to the Cinema Museum
Cities might be said to have a beat. A rhythm to which life — all the things that animate the city — gets played out. One of the sources of this energy are the relentless manifold changes that take place in the formation of its material, built environment. What at one time were sites of activity and vibrance can, over time, become sights indicative of decline, neglect and disuse. Some buildings may be appropriated for many different uses other than those which they originally served. Others are destroyed and replaced and the land is used for new buildings. Whatever the stimuli for change, the materials and the surfaces of the city's landscape are in flux. Such ongoing mutations and the concomitant provisionality of space that arises, are perhaps constitutive of what it means for a city to be a city.
The story of cinema's home — cinemas — and the city is, of course, caught up with this ongoing development and change. Cinemas, like other sites, are left to decay, are re-appropriated for other uses and replaced entirely by other structures. Even though the social practice of cinema-going is certainly far from dead, and whatever the contributory factors, cinema attendance in western markets has declined markedly since its peak in the 1930s and 1940s. Such social and economic changes naturally entail that the siting of cinemas in the city have also radically altered, with the number of cinemas declining in general alongside the rise of the out-of-town multiplex.
Cinema Paradiso (1988; d. Giuseppe Tornatore) is an exuberant and affectionate homage to the world of cinema and specifically its materialities. It is also a lament for the demise of cinemas that close, decay and are re-appropriated whereby the land or building is put to a different use, thus altering the immediate environment and the practices that take place in and around that location. After many years of self-imposed exile, Salvatore, the former projectionist of the Cinema Paradiso — now a successful film director — returns to his hometown. He does so to mark the death of his long time friend and mentor, Alfredo. Salvatore visits the cinema where he spent his formative years, learned about film and then served as projectionist, following Alfredo's blindness.
He finds a dilapidated relic inside and out. In a muted greyish-brown palette, the camera follows Salvatore into the former hub of community life. Promotional posters, upturned chairs, a broken lavatory, light bulbs are strewn over the floor of the dusty auditorium. The wallpaper peeling from the walls is visible as the camera pans left whilst tracking right to reveal the void of black behind the broken screen. In the projection booth, offcuts of film and empty reels litter the room. Its broken windows look out over the square of which it was once an integral part. All these artefacts, which speak of a former era of cinema-going, are deemed to be detritus along with the structure of the cinema itself — worthy only of destruction. Shortly afterwards, the cinema and its artefacts lie demolished to make way for a multi-storey car park. Lined up to observe the demolition are the familiar faces of years gone by, those who were involved and attended regularly, to pay their final respects to the place that brought them together. Their ageing faces speak of a bygone era.
There is, however, another point in the film that Francesco Casetti links to the relocation of the cinema. The trajectories of this relocation are twofold. One is the proliferation of screens and the manifold means of accessing the film object that exist today. The other pertains to the organisations of space that occur outside of the cinema, in the home and elsewhere, to re-create a cinema theatre like experience. One evening, when Salvatore is still a young boy assisting Alfredo, such is the demand from those outside waiting for the next screening that Alfredo uses the glass of the projection window to reflect the film behind the projector, out of the window overlooking the square, where it can be viewed on the side of a house.
In is this moment, cinema symbolically leaves its house, a moment that Casetti interprets as 'cinema's exit from its temple'.[1] This exit is evidenced today in the non-theatrical expressions of cinema taking place in urban spaces with free film festivals, pop-up cinemas, outdoor screenings, themed secret cinema events, and ad hoc screenings. Also present in this moment, however, is the re-appropriation of the material urban space by cinema and for cinema — a wall is illuminated with images from the filmstrip, transforming a building's wall into a screen. This is a reminder of how the earliest cinema spaces were created by a re-appropriation of existing used and disused spaces in cities — mainly shop fronts, giving birth to the first 'nickelodeons' in the U.S. and 'penny' cinemas in Britain.
Even if there has been a reduction in the number of cinemas since the heyday of cinema-going, and the artefacts of a bygone era discarded in the process, there are places that are salvaging and preserving just such artefacts through the re-appropriation different spaces. The Cinema Museum in south London serves as one such example of that. The museum is based in what originally opened as the Lambeth Workhouse in 1873, and subsequently became Lambeth Infirmary. The museum took over the surviving building in 1998 that has remained as its home since then. Many of the artefacts in the museum's core collection — uniforms, projectors, light fittings, doors, ashtrays, display boards, carpets, seats, posters, postcards, film stills, as well as films — have been salvaged from former cinemas to preserve these objects of cinema's material past. In so doing, this might be read as the re-housing, the re-siting of cinema in the city. In the same way that space was re-appropriated in cities for the earliest cinema theatres, so the former site of the Lambeth Workhouse has been re-purposed as a site for cinema. This time, the space is organised to preserve objects from those original theatres. These objects are given a home, they take on an afterlife which summons the memory of, and serves as an index of the presence for, the periods and former sites they represent. And as people visit the museum — a space dedicated to imbuing the present with cinema's past — the social practices that once took place around these objects are instantiated once again. In this way, cinema remains caught up in the beat, in the rhythms and flux of the city's continual material change.

I hope this wonderful Saturday finds you with coffee in hand & enjoying the "It's My Birthday" Blog Hop! I have so much fun checking out everyones awesome projects. Make sure to check them all out.
For my post today, I wanted to share with you a Valentine's day card I made using all Stampin' Up! products. This begins with using the Hearts & Swirls Large Background stamp ( which is unforunately retired ). But, this was a very quick card to make & I used my glitter & 3-way glue pen to follow the swirls. So, it's very *blingy* , love it! I punched the pink heart out after I stamped the image using my Heart punch as well. This is a pretty simple card, but very sparkely & bright.
Wish I could buy the stamp you used. :-( That is the face of The Unhappy Stamper.
Very pretty! Were is the It's by Birthday blog hop?

Wizja przedsiębiorstwa (ang. company vision) – obraz, wyobrażenie przedsiębiorstwa w przyszłości – mglisty (kierunkowa wizja przedsiębiorstwa), lub konkretny (całościowa wizja przedsiębiorstwa).

Kierunkowa wizja przedsiębiorstwa (misja)
(ang. company mission albo mission statement); patrz też misja przedsiębiorstwa.
Ogólne, długofalowe wyobrażenie przyszłego stanu, pozycji przedsiębiorstwa. Stanowi generalną intencję, jaką funkcjonowaniu przedsiębiorstwa przypisują jego właściciele lub kierownictwo.
Wizja kierunkowa (misja) odwołuje się zazwyczaj do wartości o charakterze moralnym oraz idei ciągłości organizacji.
Misja funkcjonuje na trzech poziomach:
 deklaracji – wartości wyrażanych w przekazach dla akcjonariuszy, klientów, pracowników, władz i innych Interesariuszy,
 intencji – rzeczywistych zamiarów kierownictwa przedsiębiorstwa, nie deklarowanych publicznie,
 faktów – rzeczywistych działań, zbieżnych bądź rozbieżnych z deklaracjami i intencjami.

Całościowa wizja przedsiębiorstwa
Skrystalizowany obraz przyszłości przedsiębiorstwa, możliwie szczegółowa "fotografia" jej stanu i sytuacji w ustalonym punkcie przyszłości.

Składniki wizji
Kierunkowa wizja przedsiębiorstwa (misja) może, zaś całościowa wizja przedsiębiorstwa musi składać się z pięciu, możliwie konkretnie wyobrażonych składników:

 Domena działalności (ang. business domain) – podstawowy obszar specjalizacji biznesowej.
 Odpowiedzialność (ang. responsibility lub responsiveness) – wrażliwość przedsiębiorstwa na potrzeby i wymagania wartości interesariuszy, priorytety w ich realizacji.
 Standardy sukcesu – mierniki długookresowego powodzenia, wyrażone możliwie konkretnie w sferach finansów, rynku i marketingu i in.
 Kluczowe kompetencje (ang. – key competences lub key success factors) – umiejętności i technologie służące sukcesowi,
 Organizacja, rozumiana jako podstawowe zasady systemu kadrowego i hierarchii panujące w przedsiębiorstwie, często utrwalone w jego kulturze, tradycji i folklorze wewnątrzorganizacyjnym.

Model DOSKO
Nazwa stosowana przez autora koncepcji Piotra Dwojackiego, oparta jest na pierwszych literach kolejnych składników. Koncepcja datowana na połowę lat 90. XX wieku.

Funkcje dobrej wizji
 ukierunkowanie – wizja jako punkt odniesienia – umożliwia weryfikację zgodności bieżących działań z długofalowymi zamierzeniami i wartościami,
 uwiarygodnienie – wizja jako deklaracja intencji – stanowi narzędzie marketingu i Public Relations, w tym w kontaktach z akcjonariuszami; dotyczy wizji w formie publikowanej,
 integrowanie – wizja jako wartość wspólna – stanowi wartość, wokół której ogniskują się emocje i wartości wyznawane przez pracowników,
 inspirowanie – wizja jako źródło natchnienia – zachęca do innowacji zmierzających do szybszego, lepszego, tańszego wcielenia w życie zamierzeń zawartych w wizji,
 stabilizacja – wizja jako obietnica przyszłości – daje, szczególnie pracownikom niższych szczebli poczucie trwałości układu, w którym się znaleźli (ang. company identity); niekiedy stanowi wielki hamulec dla zmian o charakterze innowacyjnym lub restrukturyzacyjnym.
