With the 2022 World Cup in Qatar due to get underway in November, we're taking a look back through the history of the World Cup at the good, the bad and the amazing moments that remain in our memories to this very day and will live on forever.
In terms of truly unforgettable World Cup moments, it's tough to think of any better than the 1966 World Cup if you are an England football fan. This was the one and only time that the England national squad was able to win the biggest tournament in the sport. And they have not made a World Cup final since that event. Of course, there are many famous tales surrounding this final, and all of the players involved in the England team for that tournament have gone down as legends.
But despite so many tales that we could talk about, there are two that rank above all others. These relate to what is now known as the 'Russian linesman' as well as the famous commentary that occurred moments prior to the winning goal – "people on the pitch". Both parts are immensely enjoyable to look back at, and our intention here is to share the key details that gave birth to these legendary tales from the 1966 World Cup final.
For that reason, let us kick things off by running through the famous 'Russian linesman'.
1 Tofiq Bahramov – the Russian linesman
2 "People on the Pitch" – Kenneth Wolstenholme
3 England vs West Germany in the 1966 World Cup final – match overview
3.1 Extra time – they think it's all over, it is now
4 Did the ball actually cross the line?
Tofiq Bahramov – the Russian linesman
Believe it or not, this legend is based on a complete lie. That's because the famous linesman wasn't actually Russian at all – he was from Azerbaijan! But before we get ahead of ourselves, let us introduce Tofiq Bahramov and identify his role in the 1966 final. Bahramov was a football player in his younger days before he chose to be a referee instead. He was born in 1925 in Azerbaijan, which was part of the Soviet Union back then. You can probably see where the title of the Russian linesman has come from already!
However, he was only given this famous title because of his role in the final. When England played West Germany at Wembley in 1966, Bahramov was one of the linesmen. Of course, he was responsible for many decisions relating to offsides, balls out of play, and specifically for this story – deciding whether a ball had crossed the goal line or not. The final would go to extra time since England and West Germany were locked at 2-2 after 90 minutes. And after 11 minutes of extra time, Geoff Hurst of England hit a shot that rebounded off the underside of the crossbar.
This made the ball go straight down, more or less, and England celebrated as though it had been a clear goal. The referee was not sure whether the ball had crossed the line or not, so he went to consult with Bahramov on the touchline. Bahramov told the referee that in his view, the ball had crossed the line entirely and that it should be a goal. Therefore, the referee blew his whistle and gave England the goal.
Because of Bahramov's Soviet Union birth, fans were quick to attach a nickname of the 'Russian linesman' to him for this decision.
"People on the Pitch" – Kenneth Wolstenholme
The story behind the Russian linesman is just one key part of the tale here. And as stated previously, we wanted to share another famous moment in history. For this one, however, we have to visit the commentary box rather than the pitch. As it happens, this story also relates to extra time, and it was the moment when England captured the World Cup trophy.
On July 30th, 1966, the final between England and West Germany was enjoyed by more than 30 million viewers watching on TV. And one of the commentators covering the game for the BBC was a man by the name of Kenneth Wolstenholme. He didn't know it at the time, but he was about to coin one of the most famous phrases in sporting history, especially in the UK. In the dying seconds of the game, Germany was pressing and going for the equalizer around the England goal.
They lost the ball and the England squad booted it up the field to clear the danger. Bobby Moore picked out Geoff Hurst with a long-range pass, and since the German defenders had pressed so high up the pitch, Hurst was essentially clean through on goal. As he darted forward with the ball, spectators had already started running onto the field in confusion that the match was already over, which is when Wolstenholme said part of his famous quote – "Here comes Hurst. He's got, some people are on the pitch".
Clearly, Wolstenholme was distracted by the commotion going on. Yet the second part of the quote was to become one of the most famous and indeed, most used in sport in the UK – "They think it's all over. It is now".
England vs West Germany in the 1966 World Cup final – match overview
Obviously, the legend of the Russian linesman and this famous commentary phrase are things that people always talk about regarding the 1966 World Cup final. But the game itself was also fantastic, which is why we want to also provide an overview. As you know already, the final was contested between West Germany and England. The game was played at Wembley Stadium in London, on the 30th of July, 1966. Both teams had been dominant throughout the tournament, although arguably, West Germany was still favoured to walk away with the World Cup trophy. However, with home support, England was always going to have a fighting chance.
West Germany took a lead after just 12 minutes courtesy of Helmut Haller – not the ideal start for England. But England didn't panic. They remained composed, and in the 18th minute, they won a free-kick that wasn't too far out of the German box. Bobby Moore rushed to take this free-kick, finding the head of Geoff Hurst. The header was sent down and bounced into the German net, levelling the game at 1-1. However, this would be the end of the goal action until the 78th minute.
This is when a corner was sent in by Alan Ball of England, and Martin Peters managed to get onto the ball and stick it in the net – 2-1 England. Of course, scoring at this stage in the game was terrific for England, and many thought that this would be the end. But the Germans had other ideas. A fumble in the England six-yard box saw the ball come to Wolfgang Weber, and in the 89th minute, West Germany equalized to make it 2-2.
Extra time – they think it's all over, it is now
The nerves and fatigue were starting to show when overtime commenced at Wembley. However, it was England who was looking slightly fresher and more motivated to take the game to West Germany. England pressed hard in the first five minutes, and Bobby Charlton actually hit the post in that period. But at the 11th-minute mark, England finally sent the ball into the back of the German net, or so the history books tell us. This is where the Russian linesman stepped in to award the goal to England, and it gave England a 3-2 lead in extra time.
With West Germany falling behind, they were forced to press higher and higher up the pitch in search of an equalizer. And at the very end, with every man forward, England stole the ball and hoisted it up the field. This is where Hurst dealt the final blow and made it 4-2 to England, and the game was over moments after.
Did the ball actually cross the line?
Given the way in which England scored the 3rd goal, a global debate was instantly sparked. And this debate was about whether the ball did in fact cross the line or not. It would be decades later before we would know the official answer. That's because there was just no technology available to give an answer with any kind of certainty at the time. As it happens, the conclusion was that only 97% of the ball crossed the line, which means that the goal should never have been awarded. Of course, in football, the entire ball has to cross the line for it to be confirmed as a goal.
However, when trying to determine this with the naked eye, one could be forgiven for thinking that the whole ball did cross the line. And that's the conclusion that Bahramov reached at that moment, so who would blame him for giving this decision really? After all – he was 97% correct. Of course, this sympathy for his decision depends on which side of the game you were on, but history is history. The fact remains that Bahramov did award England with the goal and they went on to capture the 1966 World Cup.
And if you wanted to be really political about things, one could say that karma worked its magic in Germany's favour during the 2010 World Cup. You might recall that Frank Lampard hit the underside of the bar during England's knockout game against Germany in that tournament. The ball travelled far over the line yet the goal was never awarded. Would it have changed the game? Who knows, but they do say that history repeats itself!

Mladic Mural In Belgrade Defaced, Then Promptly Restored
By RFE/RL's Balkan Service
The defaced mural of Ratko Mladic was quickly restored by hooded youths who described themselves as being "from the neighborhood."
A mural of Bosnian Serb wartime commander Ratko Mladic that has been at the center of a tug-of-war between supporters and detractors of the convicted war criminal was defaced by unidentified protesters on November 15 only to be quickly restored.
The protesters threw a bucket of black paint at the mural early in the morning, but several hours later a group of six hooded youths cleaned the paint and partially repainted it. The youths told RFE/RL they were people "from the neighborhood."
Mladic Mural In Serbian Capital Restored Again After Defacement
No uniformed police were seen in the area.
Mladic, 79, led Bosnian Serb forces during Bosnia's 1992-95 war and was convicted by a United Nations tribunal of war crimes, including the killing of more than 8,000 Muslim men and boys in the eastern town of Srebrenica in 1995.
He is serving a life sentence, and his appeal of his 2017 conviction for genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes was rejected by the tribunal, based in The Hague, in June.
But many in Serbia still see Mladic as a hero of the war, and his mural, which appeared on the facade of a building in central Belgrade one month after the war crimes court confirmed his conviction, has reignited passions among supporters and enemies of the man dubbed the Butcher of Bosnia.
Graffiti War: Battle In The Streets Over Ratko Mladic Mural
Since then, the mural was targeted by paint throwers several times, and each time it was quickly returned it to its original state.
Last week, protesters gathered in central Belgrade in response to the arrest of two activists who threw eggs at the mural, but police cordoned the area off, preventing protesters from approaching the painting. Mladic supporters also staged a counterprotest. The two groups were separated by police and no incidents were reported.

The two activists, Aida Corovic and Jelena Jacimovic, were released after a brief detention.

As for the page, I like it, but I also have some nitpicky concerns (big surprise). As nice as it is to finally have Jenna and Layla interacting, it kind of feels like a missed opportunity to have it happen while Layla's so deep in her "Kevin's AWESOME!" act. I'd love to see how the feisty, willful, normal Layla and the resigned, submissive Jenna would bounce off each other.
Personally, I'd think that most people don't consider if the level of physical attractiveness their siblings have. And I could even go as far as to say that, because of bias, a lot of people would be unable to give a reliable estimate.
And for someone that thinks she is so good at swindling, Layla doesn't seem to know how to handle these situations very well at all.
I AM BACK FROM "CAMPING"!
I always cringe when I reach last comic. Far Out There is really funny!
@MaDeR: Thank you so much! Also, I KNOW! It's so weird to shift from an archive binge to a normal schedule!
@CarrotSticks: If any of us actually used the forums, one might could make a case about keeping the comments on comic-related matters... but our little community lives entirely on the User Comments, and community's really dang important, so fire away!
@Seros Senric: Well, she IS good in purely business situations, but this is a purely social interaction she's trying to manipulate. She may have plenty of practice at swindling investors and such, but friends are another matter... In fact, come to think of it, We've never really heard Layla mention any friends other than Trigger, have we?

American pastor joins the "Migrant Caravan" to find out the truth
By Yucatan Times on November 16, 2018
Stephanie Martin, is a freelance journalist, who has worked in Christian publishing for 26 years and is active at her church in Lakewood, Colorado, where she lives with her husband and two teenage daughters. Stephanie published on Churchleaders.com the story of Gavin Rogers, a Texas pastor who joined the "Caravana Migrante" saying he wanted to know the truth about it, and this is what Rogers found out…
Saying he's interested in people not politics, a Texas pastor is traveling with the migrant caravan in Mexico. Gavin Rogers, associate pastor at San Antonio's Travis Park United Methodist Church, has been documenting his journey—and the relationships he's forming—on Facebook.
Rogers writes about long days of traveling with 6,000 refugees via a wide variety of methods. Reaching Guadalajara, for example, involved covering 400 kilometers in "23 hours of walking, hitchhiking and police escorts. Walking. Car, semi-trailer, truck, police truck, dump truck, bus, shelter."
On November 11, the pastor posted, "It is a long road. But life is good when you are with people filled with love and hospitality." A Mexican truck driver who volunteered to drive some refugees to their next shelter site said he acted "because I'm human." The subway in Mexico City also provided free rides to the traveling refugees.
Misleading Images Create Fear of Caravan in Mexico, Rogers Says.
Hoping to dispel fear and falsehoods about caravan members, Rogers is sharing photos of what the migrants and the people helping them really look like. "Kindness is all over the place," he writes next to posts of "real images of Mexican police officers and refugees."
The pastor criticizes people, including Christians, who are sharing images about "the supposed violence in the caravan." When someone posted to Rogers' Facebook page photos depicting violence, an image search revealed they were actually from 2012. One such post has been removed, probably because of its misleading nature. Local officers Rogers has talked to say the caravan has been overwhelmingly peaceful, with no police-related conflicts.
"Creating fear is a tactic that is continually used to separate people and label the other," the pastor writes. "People, especially people who proclaim Christ, who post such obvious posts should apologize and delete the garbage. Love conquers hate."
An Inside Look at the Migrants' Stories
In online interviews, Rogers introduces some of the refugees he's been meeting, saying his friendships with them "will last forever." Many of the travelers have young children and are pushing strollers, he notes, adding that "the love these families have for each other is outstanding."
The group Rogers is traveling with is heading toward the border town of Tijuana, Mexico, and likely won't arrive for several weeks. Many of the migrants have family members who are already in the United States, while others want to get legal help in applying for refugee status.

Rogers reports that the migrants he's meeting are wary of seeking asylum in Mexico because of the country's unstable political situation and rampant threats of violence, drug cartels and gangs.
Refugees sharing their stories with the pastor tell of having their children kidnapped and other relatives killed in Central America. Their journey, Rogers says, is "not about a better life in American terms, it's just about living." Their goals, he adds, are to seek an education for their children and "be free from violence and rape and murder." Rogers admits that claim may sound "extreme," but says he has firsthand knowledge, obtained by being "willing to talk and learn," that it's "exactly what is going on here."

Hans Dorrestijn (Ede, 16 juni 1940) is een Nederlandse tekstschrijver, vertaler, schrijver en cabaretier, met vaak een typische zwartgallige stijl. Hij schrijft ook teksten en liedjes voor andere cabaretiers en voor de kinderserie Sesamstraat.

Biografie
Dorrestijn werd in Ede geboren. Zijn vader Hendrik was actief in het verzet en stierf in 1942 in kamp Amersfoort. Hierna groeide hij op bij zijn stiefvader, die een grote inspiratiebron was. Dorrestijn doorliep de kweekschool en studeerde Nederlands aan de MO-lerarenopleiding in Amsterdam. Hierna was hij zeven jaar lang leraar op het Wagenings Lyceum.

In 1975 ging Dorrestijn aan de slag als tekstschrijver en cabaretier. Hij schreef teksten voor Herman van Veen, Joost Prinsen, Jenny Arean, Adèle Bloemendaal en voor de cabaretgroep Don Quishocking. Voor het album Zing je moerstaal dat als boekenweekgeschenk van 1976 door Ad Visser werd bedacht en geproduceerd schreef hij Perpetuum mobile. In de jaren zeventig schreef Dorrestijn samen met Willem Wilmink ook voor diverse radio- en televisieprogramma's als Wij en de Wereld, de Panorama Woensdagshow, De Stratemakeropzeeshow en J.J. De Bom voorheen De Kindervriend.

Dorrestijn heeft als schrijver een uitgebreid oeuvre op zijn naam staan; variërend van kinderboeken tot gedichten voor volwassenen. Het jeugdboek De rooie vuurtoren of Vrijdag en de andere wilden (1987) behandelt de discriminatie in een Nederlandse schoolklas, als een vaak gepeste jongen met rood haar naast een Surinaamse jongen wordt gezet. Gevaarlijke stroom (1992) situeerde hij op Aruba.

Jarenlang verzorgde hij als "nieuwslezer" in het VPRO-radioprogramma "Het Gebouw" nep-nieuws berichten onder de naam "Dorrestijns Pers Agentschap" (parodie op het ANP) Veel van die berichten werden in 2 boekjes gepubliceerd.

De autobiografie Finale kwijting, die verhaalt over de teloorgang van het huwelijk van een alcoholistische liedjesschrijver en zijn aan poetsdwang lijdende vrouw is vooralsnog het sluitstuk in een lange reeks. In het boek beschrijft Dorrestijn ook zijn verblijf in psychiatrisch ziekenhuis "Berg en Bosch". Zijn ex-vrouw Hanna koppelde hij later aan Aart Staartjes. Hij was getuige op hun huwelijk. Het onderwerp "gekkenhuis" diende later als basis voor Dorrestijns succesvolste theaterprogramma tot nu toe: Het naakte bestaan.

Dorrestijn had in de theaters jarenlang soloprogramma's tot hij ging samenwerken met Frans Ehlhart. Rond de eeuwwisseling werd Ehlhart opgevolgd door Martin van Dijk.

In 2007 staakte Dorrestijn in Haaksbergen een try-out voor middelbare scholieren van zijn programma "Ruïnes", omdat hij zich ergerde aan de 'stuurse, onbewogen en chagrijnige' gezichten op de eerste rij. In datzelfde jaar brak Dorrestijn door naar een groot publiek met zijn "Vogelboek".

In "Ruïnes" kondigde Hans Dorrestijn aan dat dit zijn laatste programma was. "Ruïnes" gaat ook vooral over de thema's dood en verval, in elk geval meer nog dan in zijn vorige programma's.

Op 7 december 2008 nam hij met een laatste optreden in Theater Carré afscheid van het toeren langs de grote schouwburgen.

Dorrestijn hield woord en verruilde zijn werkgebied. In de kleinere theaters, bibliotheken en dergelijke is hij sinds 2009 actief met voordrachten uit zijn omvangrijke eigen werk. Zijn vele boeken in het algemeen, en kassucces "Dorrestijns vogelgids" (2007) in het bijzonder, liggen aan deze shows ten grondslag.

Eind 2010 startte Dorrestijn met "Buigen" een comeback-programma in de kleinere theaters. Hierbij gebruikte Dorrestijn overwegend oude nummers. "Daar ik toch nooit een hit heb gehad, loop ik geen enkel risico dat het publiek daar iets van merkt!", zo meldt Dorrestijn zelf

In 2021 maakt hij voor Omroep Max een zesdelige televisieserie "Alleen op een eiland" waarbij hij een week op telkens een ander onbewoond eiland verblijft en daar een gast ontvangt. In de eerste aflevering op 13 juli 2021 was hij op Rottummerplaat en ontving Dieuwertje Blok.Al eerder maakte hij voor de omroep samen met Nico de Haan het vogelspotprogramma "Baardmannetjes".

National Crime Agency
UK businessman linked to Oleg Deripaska arrested on suspicion of facilitating sanctions evasion
The National Crime Agency yesterday secured the arrest of a London based businessman on suspicion of fraud and sanctions evasions.
Graham Bonham-Carter is alleged to have assisted sanctioned Russian national, Oleg Deripaska, by concealing the ownership of Deripaska's properties.
Following an extradition request from the US, Bonham-Carter subsequently appeared before Westminster Magistrates Court and was released on conditional bail.
Yesterday's action, coordinated by the NCA's Combatting Kleptocracy Cell (CKC), is the latest in a series of disruptive actions by the CKC, which works to disrupt the activities of corrupt international business figures.
Steve Rodhouse, NCA Director General (Operations) yesterday said:
"Oligarchs seeking to evade sanctions rely on skilled professionals to help them hide their true ownership of assets and sustain their lifestyles. This criminality exploits global financial flows and hubs including the UK, and requires a collaborative international response.
"Working with partners around the world, the NCA is determined to identify and disrupt entities in the UK involved in hiding or moving illicit wealth."
A billionaire industrialist, Deripaska was sanctioned by the UK for his association with the Government of Russia and Vladimir Putin, and for controlling a business in the Russian extractives and energy sector. This resulted in a full UK asset freeze and travel ban.
Bonham-Carter is believed to be linked to Deripaska through a number of high-value properties in the United States and in the UK – all suspected to be ultimately held for Deripaksa's benefit. It is suspected that the true ownership of these properties is concealed through the use of complicated ownership structures and firms registered in the British Virgin Islands and other overseas jurisdictions.
He was charged with three counts under the US Code: Conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and the Ukraine-related sanctions regulations; Violating the same Act and Regulations; and Wire Fraud, and aiding and abetting wire fraud.
Working with colleagues at HM Treasury's Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation and HM Land Registry, the NCA has previously ensured that Deripaska's two London properties were included in the list of assets frozen by the sanctions designation. Those properties, a mansion in Belgrave Square and a private office in Cleveland Row next to St James's Palace, are estimated to be collectively worth more than £50m.
In March this year the NCA secured two account freezing orders in respect of bank accounts held by Bonham-Carter. These orders were obtained on the basis that there are reasonable grounds to suspect the money in the accounts (approximately £110,000) was derived from the laundering of funds belonging to Deripaska, who was sanctioned by the US at the time.
On 29 September 2022, the US Department of Justice indicted Oleg Deripaksa and three associates for criminal sanctions violations. The US indictments cited transfers totalling millions of dollars to Gracetown Inc, a US company that maintains Deripaska's two high-value properties in New York and another mansion in Embassy Row, Washington DC. Bonham Carter was previously the Chief Executive Officer of Gracetown Inc.
To date, the NCA's Combatting Kleptocracy Cell has secured a number of Freezing Orders (AFOs) over accounts held by individuals who are closely linked to sanctioned Russians, and an array of other disruptions against a range of Russian elites and their enablers. The CKC's work has assisted in the freezing of numerous properties, eight yachts and four aircraft across the globe, and it continues to work in concert with OFSI to ensure that other assets in the UK are frozen, as well as with global partners to target illicit wealth held abroad. The total amount of assets currently frozen by sanctions in the UK is around £17 billion.

After last winter's freezes and some tough trout fishing in 2018, Capt. Ronnie Lisotta has great expectations for solid specks like this one this spring.
With the relatively warm, wet, dreary winter Louisiana has experienced so far this year, Capt. Ronnie Lisotta is expecting some serious speckled trout action this spring — and it should really start ramping up this month.
Based on the weather and catches earlier this year, the veteran charter captain said he wondered if specks ever migrated deep into interior marshes this winter.
Lisotta said anglers were already catching trout out in Lake Felicity and Lake Chien in February, and the Sulphur Mine in Lake Pelto was producing earlier than normal as well.
"That's unusual for this time of year, and it shows summer could be here a little early this time," he said.
Just a few hundred yards from Pointe-aux-Chenes Marina on Highway 665, Lisotta said the power line area was a great place to target — and you don't even have to crank up your big motor.
Lisotta said he targets the main canal and the bay behind the power lines with a Berkley Rattle Shrimp or a Vudu Shrimp under a popping cork in the shallows, and tight-lines artificials in the middle of the bayou, which can range from about 17 to 20 feet deep.
When he heads south to these big lakes, Lisotta likes live bait — and if he can get croakers, so much the better.
"In April, you have to cast net for them and go get them yourself," Lisotta said. "But if you can get some live croakers, that's key. I hook them through the dorsal fins, and fish them on a Carolina rig with a 2/0 kahle hook on the bottom with a ¼-ounce lead head around structures in the lakes like platforms.
Live shrimp, croakers or artificial shrimp also are the way to go in Bay Billiot, which is located east of Lake Chien.
"They have some structure inside there — a couple of sunken boats — that you can fish that produce some big trout," he said.
And if chasing down bull reds is your thing, Pointe-aux-Chenes is a great location to target in April, Lisotta said.
"You can catch bull reds — some 25- and 30-pounders — at just about any deep hole using cracked crab and cut mullet on the bottom, and you can catch big drum at the same time on cracked crabs," he said.

In case you missed it, you can hear me on the latest episode of Skepticality! The episode also features Michael Shermer talking about his new book The Moral Arc: How Science and Reason Led Humanity toward Truth, Justice, and Freedom.
I'm at t=38m53s. Have a great weekend!
When did we get a record player?
Craig is trying to beef up his online dating profile.
What's this? Hops-infused beard oil?
I think he just leveled up to maximum hipster.
Nothing specifically wrong with Hops if you want to smell like Beer.
On Schermer's book he has the Time-line backward. Truth led the way to Reason and Science followed. Morality was defined long before.
"Morality" can't be defined. It is a construct of a particular society and as such is relative, not absolute. If morality existed as a definition, then societies and groups within societies wouldn't clash about it. As a consequence, morality can't be said to have been defined long before, only some tenets of what you view as morality. It is impossible to state any full definition of morality with which you can't find another group, culture or society both now and in history disagreeing vehemently. State the most anti-moralistic thing you can think of and you'll probably find it being practiced as normal elsewhere at some point in human history.
This is not to say that there aren't beneficial individual "morals" but they are usually at the discretion of the society within which you live and the individual themselves. I would even say that people generally think themselves to have good morals and others generally to have worse ones, especially when looking across at other cultures or other societies. The other societies or cultures will no doubt look back across the divide with the same thoughts.
@wnp: The "ten commandments" you refer to are in themselves the construct of a particular society or group, in this case Judaism and Christianity. They are no more fundamental or well defined than any other religious rules by the thousands of sects and religions in the world, many of which will contradict across different religions or even within their own religion. The ten commandments are in themselves open to interpretation and used differently by the different christian sects, both now and over the history of christianity. There are in fact many more than ten commandments, the number and order of which varies from sect to sect. This in itself proves that morality is not "well defined" which by definition implies there are not differenet interpretations. Morality within modern religions is actually loosely defined to allow for the variety of cultures and ethnic backgrounds they are trying to encompasses. If it wasn't, how do you explain so many sects within any umbrella religion, each with its own interpretations of "morality"? Or is your chosen viewpoint correct and all the others wrong?
If a just law will always be in accordance with god's law, which god are you referring to? I assume you are preaching for Sharia Law to be introduced worldwide? God has no place in modern laws, which are rightfully purely human constructs, hopefully decided by and for the general benefit of the society within which they will be used.
I Make the statement based solely on your "report" to say what I said doesn't require reading it. The proper question would be have you read it? You cannot begin from a position of no morality, the best you can arrive at will be a counterfeit. It would be like borrowing your silver and gold to buy a printing press to Print money to pay you back. Of course you would have to be duped to believe that the money I payed you back with had as much value as what I borrowed from you, counterfeiters don't attempt to counterfeit anything of no value no one would accept it. Your report is even worse it is more like a 3 dollar bill perpetrating the falsehood. Morality was well defined prior to Noah. It is absolute and anything relative to absolute morality is what we call laws.
Ah, Gods law. Morality was figured out a long time ago, that's why people were so well-behaved until the enlightenment came along. Take that, atheists!
But really, you should read the book. I would also recommend The Moral Landscape by Sam Harris.
On the contrary that is how we know that people weren't well behaved and still aren't. Better reading would be, "The Victory of Reason" by Rodney Stark. I guess that you accept my statement about the timeline is valid or you or Mr. Schermer misrepresented his book.
Lack of rebuttal does not imply concurrence, any more than lack of refusal implies consent. You can't just assume victory because you're the last person that spoke.
I appreciate everyone's comments, but this 'morality debate' seems to have gone off the rails. I'm moderating further comments. As much as I enjoy philosophy, argument by assertion is a pet peeve of mine.
I am confused why people want beard oil. But then again I guess they won't understand why I want cocoa butter for my skin either.
It makes beard slaloming a lot better. Have you ever tried sliding on an un-oiled beard? You'd only ever do it the once before reaching for the good old hops-infused beard oil, the choice of beard slalom champions the whole world over. As you might suspect, it is however a minority sport, pursued by a hardy few and watched by even less.
This is the second page of this comic I've read that feels like a rerun… I know it's not, but that's my impression.
That works out at about a 1% re-run rate. By TV soaps and film standards that's hardly even going to register on the re-run meter.
I am in awe of those pancakes I see in the twitter feed dated ~11h ago. The Paleontologist now wants them for her 8th birthday breakfast tomorrow morning.
What's the shiny that Craig is holding in the last panel?


Great little monitors for a home setup, packed with features.
The only criticism I have is not of monitors themselves, which are impeccably built and I am pleased with bang for the buck, but there seems to be shortage of tech data that manufacturer provides. I have no idea of what the position switch is doing exactly which makes it difficult to use.
... and I mean _klein_! The SC203 are really tiny, but make a great sound! The size is ideal for desktop use.
Madness is which bass comes from the little things. Clear heights. The mids could be somewhat more pronounced for my taste, but ok. There are no huge loudspeakers. Great for the size.
The processing of the loudspeakers themselves is faultless, very stable and no corners or edges. Really good. Not so great solved I find the connection cable between left and right Speaker, which is already somehow very much after workshop.
There is a small point deduction in the operation - I do not know whether a simple switch for on / off was no longer in the budget, but three seconds on the knob to turn off the thing is a little annoying in the long run.
The loudspeaker has three presets for setup, the setting for the table sounding very strange. The best is imho. With the default setting (Setting 1).
The whole thing comes with small plastic "Untersetzern", in order to be able to set up the loudspeakers at different angles. Practically.
Operation via USB no problem, was detected immediately.

Home > Council > The Vale of Glamorgan Council > Minutes, Agendas and Reports > Shared Regulatory Services Joint Committee > 16-09-20
SHARED REGULATORY SERVICES JOINT COMMITTEE
Minutes of a meeting held on 20th September, 2016.
Representing Bridgend County Borough Council – Councillors C.E. Smith and R. Williams;
Representing Cardiff City and County Council – Councillors Ms. J. Parry;
Representing the Vale of Glamorgan County Borough Council – Councillor G. John (Chairman).
Also present:
Mr. S. Wyndham (Wales Audit Office).
(a) Apologies for Absence –
These were received from Councillors D. De'Ath (Cardiff City and County Council) and A.G. Powell (Vale of Glamorgan Council).
(b) Minutes –
RESOLVED – T H A T the minutes of the meeting held on 28th June, 2016 be approved as a correct record.
(c) Declarations of Interest –
No declarations were received.
(d) Shared Regulatory Services Statement of Accounts 2015/16 (DEH) –
The Vale of Glamorgan Council was responsible for the preparation of the Financial Statements that presents fairly the financial position of the Shared Regulatory Services (SRS) as at 31st March, 2016. The Auditor General for Wales was responsible for reporting whether, in his opinion, this was indeed the case. The audit had been undertaken by the Wales Audit Office (WAO) as the Council's Engagement Lead on behalf of the Appointed Auditor.
The unaudited Statement of Accounts for 2015/16 had been prepared by 30th June, 2016, in accordance with the statutory timeframe and previously considered by the Committee at its meeting held on 28th June, 2016. In addition to the above, the SRS Joint Working Agreement stated that "The Joint Committee shall meet on or before the 30th September in each Financial Year to approve the Audited Statement of Accounts of the Joint Committee for the previous financial year". This should be presented along with the Audit of the Financial Statements report, prepared by the designated external auditor.
Consequently, the report of the Auditor General for Wales together with the latest 2015/16 Statement of Accounts incorporating all currently agreed amendments was attached at Appendix 1 to the report. In addition, the Audit of Financial Statements report had also been attached for consideration.
Mr. Wyndham, in referring to the draft WAO report, made reference to the key messages contained in Appendix 2 "Summary Report". In terms of the status of the report he indicated that the majority of the audit work had been completed and the provisional findings of the WAO were that there were no misstatements identified in the financial statements which remained uncorrected. There were a small number of misstatements that had been corrected by management following discussion between the WAO and the Section 151 Officer and related to the following matters:
IAS 19 pension fund actuarial figures – The IAS 19 figures within the Financial Statements and the related disclosures have been amended in accordance with the revised information provided by the Pension Fund actuary to reflect the transfer of staff from the three predecessor Councils to the Shared Regulatory Services Joint Committee;
Employees' Emoluments – The Remuneration Bandings table within the Note has been amended to include the fact that individuals received compensation in regard to loss of office. These compensation payments require disclosure within the Note in accordance with the requirements of the Code.
Exit Packages – The number and cost for one of the bandings was amended to reflect the correct basis for compiling the disclosure, in this case including an additional entry to the 0 - £20,000 banding.
He fully appreciated that this was the first year for the production of Statement of Accounts for the SRS which may have led to the need to recommend adjustments as detailed in Appendix 3 of the draft WAO Summary Report.
Having regard to the above, it was the intention of the Appointed Auditor to issue an unqualified audit report on the Financial Statements once the relevant Council officers had provided a signed Final Letter of Representation.
RESOLVED –
(1) T H A T the Appointed Auditor's report relating to the audit of the 2015/16 Financial Statements for the Shared Regulatory Services be approved.
(2) T H A t the Financial Statements, including the Final Letter of Representation, be approved for signature by the Chairman of the Shared Regulatory Services Joint Committee.
Reasons for decisions
(1) To ensure that those charged with governance have considered the results of the audit of the 2015/16 Financial Statements of the Shared Regulatory Services.
(2) To ensure that the Financial Statements were signed as required.
(N.B. Tabled for the Committee's attention was an updated edition of the SRS Statement of Accounts 2015/16.)
(e) Overview and Update on the Shared Regulatory Services (DEH) –
The Chairman reminded the Committee of the previously circulated supplementary information relating to Agenda Item No. 5, Appendix 2.
The Committee at its previous meeting held on 18th May, 2016 considered a report which provided a further update on matters pertaining to the creation, development and operation of the new service.
The Committee was apprised on the ongoing work in relation to ICT and mobile working. It was noted that work was underway across the SRS teams to establish what data was required to be archived, deleted or migrated to the new Tascomi single database. An Officer Task and Finish Group had also been established to work closely with the Information Governance Managers of the three partner Authorities to ensure that this process was carried out in accordance with the relevant legislation and the three respective document retention policies. Officers were also completing a Privacy Impact Assessment that considered a change in working practices to ensure continued data compliance within consolidated database and archiving solutions.
Officers also identified the ongoing ICT requirements for the major hubs, establishing a need for fixed desks, hot desks or agile working points. The location of officers in Bridgend and the Vale of Glamorgan Councils were contingent on the corporate schemes currently underway. The relocation of officers at Cardiff Council was scheduled to take place in November 2016 and overall there would be an approximately 50% reduction in the space occupied by SRS officers.
In addition, work had progressed in developing a single telephone contact number for the service; officers had also agreed the call messaging and routing protocols for the new telephone number, taking into account Welsh language requirements. Issues relating to out of hours provision had been resolved which meant that the Service was now in the final stages of implementing the new single telephone contact number.
Work had also continued towards the use of a single domain for all SRS staff, with the new format e-mail addresses in place and ready to use. The e-mail addresses for officers would be a variation on the standard Vale of Glamorgan e-mail address using "SRS Wales" alongside user's long in name, details of which were set out in paragraph 6 of the report. Prior to new e-mail addresses going live, Outlook content for those staff previously employed by Bridgend and Cardiff Councils would be transferred to the Vale of Glamorgan Council system. Appropriate signposting would be set up to deal with mail arriving at closed accounts in the future, replacing the auto-forwarding facilities currently in place. For staff, the advantage of a single e-mail address was that multiple Outlook accounts would no longer need to be maintained. For customers of the service, the single web domain would provide greater clarity and improved identity.
In regard to financial monitoring for the first quarter, 1st April, 2016 to 30th June, 2016, this was set out at Appendix 1 to the report and had been prepared from the consolidated figures gathered from each Authority for this period.
Members were informed the SRS was currently projected to achieve an overspend of £220,000 against the gross revenue budget. However, it was considered that this position could be mitigated by the level of income received directly by the Authorities. Whilst all staffing costs for the SRS were held within the Vale of Glamorgan Council's Oracle system, non-staffing costs were currently held remotely by each respective Authority and details were provided on a monthly basis from finance colleagues of Cardiff and Bridgend Councils. Members were asked to note that progress had been made on increasing the use of the Vale of Glamorgan Council's system gross revenue budgets.
In terms of the financial outturn for 2015/16, as part of the consideration of the previous report relating to the Annual Statement of Audited Accounts which advised of an underspend of £851,000 in the financial year 2015/16, the Joint Committee was now required to consider proposals set out in Appendix 2 for dealing with the above Budget Surplus. This was a requirement of the Joint Working Agreement, Schedule 5.
Appendix 2 proposed the following arrangements:
An earmarked reserve to be established
The reserve to be used to fund the acquisition of "one off" items as detailed within Appendix 2
That the reserve also gives consideration to specific projects such as investigating stream income collection into the SRS account
An agreed methodology for the repayment of the 2015/16 surplus to the partner Authorities in excess of the agreed earmarked reserve.
The Committee's attention then turned to performance monitoring in relation to Quarter 1 for 2016/17, details of which were set out in Appendix 3 to the report and the information was being reported to each Council in line with the legacy performance management regimes and existing service plans.
The Committee received a short presentation on the current performance of the SRS.
The Committee was also updated on the following service developments:
The SRS had some nine Primary Authority partnerships established. Four of these arrangements were entered into during 2015/16 as follows:
- Dunraven Manufacturing Limited
- Nathaniel Car Sales
- Heatforce Limited
- Ashfords Law Firm.
In addition to the above and in the current financial year 2016/17, a further three partnerships had been entered into with the following organisations:
- BBI Healthcare
- Cardiff Sports Nutrition
- RVS (The Royal Voluntary Service Charity).
These were in addition to the two pre-existing arrangements with Just Perfect Catering and the Association of Convenience Stores.
The SRS had been highly commended for its Primary Authority work at the Primary Authority Awards 2016, hosted by Regulatory Delivery, which provided an opportunity for the SRS to showcase the most innovative and successful business – regulator partnerships in the UK over the past 12 months.
The SRS was nominated in the "Officer / Team Award" category. Despite missing out on the Team Award to Hertfordshire County Council, the Service was highly commended by the judges.
The metrology laboratory based at Cardiff County Hall had been subject to a two day audit in August 2016. The findings of the audit report highlighted a small number of minor points which required to be addressed; these related mainly to constructive procedural and process augmentation and were easily rectified. Auditors commented on their findings of "a mature and very competent accredited laboratory for the scheduled calibrations, with no significant areas of weakness identified. The quality of calibration had been sustained for a considerable length of time and this was attributable to the professional diligent approach taken by the staff".
In July 2016, the National Audit Office (NAO) visited the Shared Service as part of their study into value for money of the system for protecting consumers from scams, unsafe goods, illegal trading and other forms of consumer detriment. The NAO were conducting field work between May and August 2016, with the intention of producing a final report in late Autumn 2016.
The Committee was also apprised of project work in relation to residential care homes, specifically health and safety interventions for the 2016/17 work plan, following the occurrence of several significant incidents in care home settings during the last five years. The project would focus on the following subject areas:
Lifting equipment safety
Managing the risk of Legionella
Managing the risk of scalding
The prevention of falls from a height
Management of bed rails.
The above project was a national Health and Safety intervention and the SRS was elected to pilot the project between April and July 2016, other South East Wales Local Authorities would undertake the work soon after and the remaining Welsh Local Authorities would schedule this project for late 2016/17 or towards the beginning of 2017/18.
Of the 43 care homes visited, 14 Improvement Notices were served, of which ten (71%) related to inadequate Legionella management controls. All remaining homes were informed of contraventions and recommendations by formal letter, with compliance monitored by duty holders producing action plans and through officer revisits.
The project also included care homes operated by national companies, small companies and sole proprietors. Details of recent cases investigated by the SRS that had resulted in prosecution were set out in Appendix 4 to the report.
Having regard to the above, it was
(1) T H A T the proposals set out in Appendix 2 to the report be approved and authority be given to the Vale of Glamorgan Council Section 151 Officer to make arrangements for the payment and to create a reserve for the expenditure identified for use by the Shared Regulatory Services.
(2) T H A T the remaining progress as detailed in the Overview and Update report be noted.
(1) To approve the use of the 2015/16 underspend as proposed within Appendix 2 to the report.
(2) In acknowledgement of the work of the service and the progress towards completing the implementation programme.
(N.B. An updated Appendix 2 had been circulated prior to the meeting in relation to Appendix 2 of the report.)
(f) Shared Regulatory Services – Review of the Joint Working Agreement (DEH) –
The report set out proposals to amend the current Joint Working Agreement (JWA) between the partner Councils in light of operational experience and changes in legislation.
In accordance with Clause 26 of the JWA, it was proposed to update and amend the Agreement as a consequence of the following proposed changes and subject to a Deed of Variation being entered into between the Participant Authorities:
The current clauses are: In the case of expenditure which was less than 5% in excess of the Approved Budget (as indicated in accordance with clause 7.8.1.1) without the prior written consent of each Section 151 Officer for each of the Participants liable to contribute towards such expenditure. For such purposes the Section 151 Officers shall respond to written requests to consent to such additional expenditure within ten working days of receiving the same and shall state whether they consent to the incurring of such additional expenditure or not.
Consequently, written consent now required to be provided by all participants for spend in excess of the budget. Obtaining written permission in the event of a spend of up to 5% within ten working days from the Section 151 Officers of the participating Authorities (in 2016-17 core this would be £308,000) was reasonable.
It is proposed that this clause was further qualified with the following clause: "The Head of the Shared Regulatory Service, in consultation with Lead Section 151 Officer, may in the case of an unexpected event incur expenditure of up to £100,000 in excess of Agreed Budget, without the provision of prior consent. Details of the expenditure will be reported back to the Participants' Section 151 Officers within five working days of the commitment being known and reported to the next Board and Committee meetings."
In addition to the above matters, Schedule 5, Clause 3 of the JWA related to budget approval and monitoring by the Shared Regulatory Services Joint Committee. It was also proposed to insert two additional new clauses into the Agreement in respect of the following matters:
"Clause 3.1A – Notification of any proposed saving requirement to be made by the Service must be provided to the Head of Service and the Lead Section 151 Officer at least 12 months in advance of the year to which they relate. Indications of the following three year savings requirement should be provided to the Head of Service prior to the start of each financial year."
"Clause 3.1B – In the event of financial changes that are outside of the control of the Shared Regulatory Services such as, but not restricted to changes in legislation, inflation or pension fund contributions, that the Shared Regulatory Services shall commence consultation with the Participants on funding these changes as soon as possible."
There were also a number of references to legislation within the JWA i.e. Schedule 1 (Regulatory Services functions) set out a lengthy list of statutes and statutory instruments authorising and governing the functions that comprised the core services of the collaborative partnership. It was noted by the Committee that some of these statutory references were incorrect or had been superseded; these issues had been highlighted in some external audits of the services. Therefore, it was now proposed that these be updated and the proposed Deed of Variation amended to include wording designed to avoid having to make future amendments of such nature.
It was also noted that there was no recognised role for the Executives (Cabinets) of the partner Authorities in that there was no mechanism for the Executive to be apprised of the work of, and the decisions taken by, the Shared Regulatory Services Joint Committee. It was further proposed to insert a new clause 5.6 to allow the business of the Shared Regulatory Services Joint Committee to become included in Executive business agendas.
Schedule 4 of the JWA also outlined the functions delivered by the Shared Regulatory Services. It was now proposed to make minor administrative amendments to provide greater clarity on the range and scope of services provided e.g. the responsibility for enforcing aspects of the Housing (Wales) Act 2014, the "Rent Smart" requirements for landlords to be licensed; and the related removal for the need for landlord Accreditation regimes.
RESOLVED – T H A T the Shared Regulatory Services Joint Committee endorses the proposed changes to the Joint Working Agreement and that a copy of the report be sent to each partner Council for consideration and approval by the respective Cabinets and Councils.
Reason for decision
To facilitate amendments to the Joint Working Agreement in light of operational experience and changes in legislation. The proposed changes were required to be ratified by each partner Council.
(g) Appointment of Public and Agricultural Analysts (DEH) –
Approval was sought to appoint the above analysts for the Shared Regulatory Service in accordance with the requirements of the Food Safety Act 1990, Section 27 and the Agriculture Act 1970.
RESOLVED – T H A T the current list of authorised analysts for the Shared Regulatory Services be amended to reflect the appointment of the undermentioned Public and Agricultural Analysts:
Minton Treharne and Davies Ltd
John Anthony Robinson
Susanne Brookes
Alastair David Low.
To ensure compliance with statutory requirements and to ensure proper and effective enforcement of the relevant legislation and to ensure compliance with the statutory duty to enforce the Food Safety Act 1990 and the Agricultural Act 1970.
(h) Licensing of Animal "Day Care" Facilities (DEH) –
The report sought to apprise the Joint Committee on the outcome of the recent consultation on proposed draft licensing conditions in respect of the above subject matter and to seek approval for the Shared Regulatory Services to licence such establishments.
(1) T H A T the outcome of the consultation exercise be noted and a revised set out licensing conditions as set out in Appendix 3 to the report for Animal Day Care premises be approved on the following basis:
Licence fees for Dog Day Care Premises be agreed in line with fees relating to Animal Boarding Establishments for the period 2016/17 as follows:
Inclusive of Veterinary fee
Bridgend and the Vale of Glamorgan
Plus full Veterinary costs, if incurred
(2) T H A T the draft licensing conditions for Day Care facilities as set out in Annex 1 to the report be approved on the basis of the following principles contained within the Animal Boarding Establishments Act 1963 whereby the Local Authority, in determining whether to grant a licence, must have regard to securing:
(a) that animals will at all times be kept in accommodation suitable as respects construction, size of quarters, number of occupants, exercising facilities, temperature, lighting, ventilation and cleanliness;
(b) that animals will be adequately supplied with suitable food, drink and bedding material, adequately exercised, and (so far as necessary) visited at suitable intervals;
(c) that all reasonable precautions will be taken to prevent and control the spread among animals of infectious or contagious diseases, including the provision of adequate isolation facilities;
(d) that appropriate steps will be taken for the protection of the animals in case of fire or other emergency;
(e) that a register be kept containing a description of any animals received into the establishment, date of arrival and departure, and the name and address of the owner, such register to be available for inspection at all times by an officer of the Local Authority, veterinary surgeon or veterinary practitioner.
Reason for decisions
(1&2) To ensure appropriate licensing arrangements were in place for this new class of animal establishment and a set of conditions and fee structure to be implemented.
(i) Update on Rent Smart Wales (DEH) –
The Housing (Wales) Act received Royal Assent in September 2014. Part 1 of this Act related to regulation of the private rented sector (PRS) and placed new obligations on private landlords of rental properties to register with designated Local Authorities. The Act would also result in all rental properties having a licensed landlord and / or agent in place to undertake letting and management tasks.
In order for a person to get a licence they first must be deemed "fit and proper" and have undertaken training approved by the Licensing Authority; once licensed they would have an ongoing condition to comply with a Welsh Government (WG) approved letting and management Code of Practice and any other conditions the Licensing Authority felt necessary to impose.
Consequently, the WG appointed Cardiff City and County Council as the Designated Single Licensing Authority in 2015 and the brand "Rent Smart Wales" was adopted for use by the Licensing Authority.
The Act created enforcement powers for the varying offences under the legislation for non-compliant landlords and agents so that they could be used by both the Licensing Authority or by the Local Authority where the dwelling to which an offence had occurred arose. These arrangements had been captured in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) where the principal role of the Licensing Authority was to establish and maintain a register of landlords and to grant licences to ensure landlords and / or managing agents who are involved in the letting and / or managing of a property are licensed to do so. A person who is licensed under the above Act must be as indicated a "fit and proper" person and have undergone minimum suitable training to do so. The Committee noted that there were between 70–130,000 landlords in Wales. The Shared Regulatory Services (SRS) Local Authority areas accounted for some 25% of all the PRS in Wales and as such were a key player in ensuring that the scheme of mandatory registration and licensing was implemented successfully.
In terms of work to date, work had progressed following the requirement to register a property which came into force on 23rd November, 2015. However, the enforcement provisions contained in the Act would not be implemented until 23rd November, 2016 to allow landlords and agents a 12 months period to comply with the new legal obligations. In this period both the Licensing Authority and the 22 Welsh Local Authorities had been active in publicising the new legislation and preparing for implementation.
To this end, the WG had provided grant money of approximately £13,000 in January 2016 to each Local Authority to assist with the project. The funding had to be used by March 2016 and across the SRS a number of initiatives had been concluded e.g. raising awareness training of staff, training for landlords / agents, direct mail to stakeholders and advertising. The promotion of Rent Smart Wales (RSW) was now part of the Services' teams' day to day work when engaging with landlords and RSW information was included in all correspondence and Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO) licensing applications.
Looking forward, the programme for 2016/17 and moving towards November 2016 there would be greater emphasis placed on the enforcement deadline. The WG had provided a pro-rata sum of money to each Welsh Local Authority to ensure sufficient resources were made available for effective implementation of the legislation. Across the SRS this amounted to £129,000 and this had allowed the service to dedicate a number of Senior Officers to RSW work. The Committee was informed of the work planned or currently to be undertaken which included additional targeted promotion and advertising using the three partner Councils' media teams in conjunction with RSW.
Future work under this initiative would include an opportunity to improve the standard of management in the private rented sector and to enable Local Authorities to have a complete picture of the number and location of rented properties within their area. It was anticipated that this would dovetail the way that existing licensing schemes that existed within the SRS for HMOs and would raise the profile of rights and responsibilities within the private rented sector. It was also anticipated that this would increase demands on SRS staff within Neighbourhood Services teams. The additional work associated with enforcement of the new legislation going forward could be reclaimed through the MOU through redistribution of the fees and income collected as part of the SLA function to each of the partner Councils.
It was noted that the initial grant by WG to Local Authorities for 2016/17 would be reviewed by WG in light of the implementation and a decision on the availability of future grants in 2017/18 taken early in 2017.
(1) T H A T the update on the implementation of Part 1 of the Housing (Wales) Act 2014, specifically the Welsh Landlord and Agent Registration and Licensing Scheme known as Rent Smart Wales, be noted.
(2) T H A T the Head of the Shared Regulatory Services be authorised to sign a Memorandum of Understanding under the terms of the Joint Working Agreement (General Responsibilities).
(1) In acknowledgement of progress being made and the planned schedule of the Rent Smart Wales implementation programme.
(2) To allow collaborative arrangements between the respective Councils within the SRS and the Single Licensing Authority, including enforcement protocols and general governance arrangements to be agreed.

Different approaches have come out from the expectation of fully destroying bed bugs in the home, resorts, and apartments and at other live-in areas.
Treatments aim to stay away from the bugs doing damage to the furniture and producing human snacks which could be triggered by migraines and observable skin marks which could be quite itchy besides uncomfortable.
If you want more detail about best bed bugs heat treatment, visit http://www.bedbugsandbeyond.ca/.
Bed bugs make people feel uneasy in sleeping in their beds as well as in sitting inside their own furniture such as sofas. Many ways have been attempted but not all functioned. One of the ones which were proven successful is bed bugs heating therapy by freezing.
Various studies have demonstrated that bed bugs can't stand extreme temperatures. In reality, they expire after a couple of moments of being subjected to intense heat or extreme cold.
Being vulnerable to warmth however isn't too much advice because intense heat can cause the disintegrating of substances which make up furniture. Additionally, it may result in melting and burning of several parts of family bits.
That is the reason why the majority of professional pest management groups use bed bugs heat therapy by freezing. It doesn't just eliminate the germs, but in addition, it keeps the furniture.
Bedbug's heat treatment by freezing operates by exposing the infested furniture to a very low temperature. The fever reaches and penetrates even the concealed part so all of the bugs are killed after a few minutes.


The ManCan 128 is the most amazing, stainless steel beer vessel ever! It's also the foundation of our Machismo Kit and Flex Kit lines. The 128 holds a GALLON of beer (128oz, thus the name). As a growler alternative, it's unsurpassed in form and function. The included rubber gasket-sealed cap both locks in the freshness of your beer (for longer than we want to admit) and is our recommended way of transporting a ManCan from the brewery or fill station.

Jazz CD Modern Jazz Quartet
Modern Jazz Quartet Plays Porgy & Bess
CD (Item 700682) Atlantic/Collectables, 1964 — Condition: Used
Atlantic (label)
Collectables (label)
An extremely haunting version of the score to Porgy & Bess – recorded by the Modern Jazz Quartet at the height of their powers, in a gently soulful version that really takes off from the original. The group have a very free approach here – one that uses Gershwin's originals as a set of loose guidelines to work from – shading in the spaces with their own tones and colors on vibes, piano, bass, and drums. The album features some great modern takes on "Summertime" and "It Ain't Necessarily So" – and other tracks include "O Bess, Where's My Bess", "I Love You Porgy", "My Man's Gone Now", and "There's A Boat Dat's Leavin Soon For New York". © 1996-2021, Dusty Groove, Inc.

At TCB – The Corner Biergarten, we're always ready to party! We are proud to rent out sections, or the entirety of our space for groups to celebrate.
Whether you're looking for a quiet place to work alone and even enjoy a beer or two during the workday, or a laid-back environment for work meetings or lunch and learn events, TCB is the place to be.
In order to help facilitate lunch and learning events and working lunches, we have assembled a list of preferred caterers we have worked with before (available upon request), though you are free to bring food in from wherever you would like.
We do recommend calling ahead to reserve a place for large groups, but individuals are welcome to set up shop whenever they would like.
In addition to offering space for daytime gatherings, TCB is a great location for corporate events, holiday parties, client and employee appreciation events and much more!
Located just off Main Street in Fuquay-Varina, TCB-The Corner Biergarten is a great hangout spot for people throughout the southern part of Wake County and beyond!
We would never have been able to accomplish this dream on our own, and strongly desire to pay our good fortune forward by giving back to our community.
These are only some of the types of organizations we work with, any organization who has a desire to help others is welcome in our corner!
If you would like to host a charity event at TCB, please fill out the form below and we will get back to you to see if we can be of help!
The Corner Biergarten is the culmination of years of dreaming and hard work by our owners, Lis and George Boyles.
Lis was born and raised in Germany and George's military background has taken him around the world, so they both have developed an appreciation for international and domestic beers alike.
Once George brought Lis to Fuquay-Varina, he couldn't get her to leave again! Both love calling the 'Quay home and for many years dreamed of opening up a place that their friends, family and neighbors could visit to enjoy delicious beverages and great times.
When NC BevCo decided to close their doors, Lis and George saw an opportunity that they couldn't pass up! Since taking over, they have worked diligently to refresh their space and to bring a unique and diverse selection of beer, wine and cider to the Fuquay-Varina community.
We hope you'll come by and enjoy a selection of German, European, Craft, and Domestic beers — as well as a full line of ciders — that we proudly select and rotate to always give you something new to try!
It's spacious, comfortable seating, great beer selection and fun atmosphere!
Last night we attended the German Food event. The food was outstanding, but I have to say that even without the food we would of had a blast. Liz and George are excellent hosts and to tell you the truth I felt like family. Everyone was so warm and welcoming. We will definitely be returning and not just for the various events or the huge selection of bottled and draft beer, but to enjoy the warm people at TCB. We have found a second home!

It is easy to see why yoga might be perceived as a fad. In recent years, its popularity in the West has surged with everyone from athletes to corporate types to celebrities catching the yoga bug. There's a growing yoga industry that's developed around this popularity. According to the Yoga Alliance, people are predicted to spend $4.6 billion on yoga clothes in 2016, up from $2.2 billion in 2012.
That said, it is still possible that yoga in the West is being buoyed by its novelty and clever marketing. So, could the buzz and excitement around yoga burn out?
