BERWYN says being nominated at the BandLab NME Awards 2022 is "a moment of enlightenment"
BERWYN has spoken about being nominated at the BandLab NME Awards 2022, describing his three nods at tonight's ceremony (March 2) as "a moment of enlightenment".
The Trinidad-born, Romford-raised rapper, producer and songwriter is up for three awards tonight: Best New Act In The World: Supported By Cano Water, Best New Act From The UK: Supported By Music Venue Trust and Best Mixtape.
BERWYN said that his BandLab NME Awards nominations "are a healthy moment in my life, in terms of my journey and becoming a person".
"It's definitely a boost of confidence, and a moment of enlightenment that I needed," he told NME on the red carpet. "So I'm very grateful."
Asked about the progress on the follow-up to his 2021 mixtape 'TAPE 2/FOMALHAUT', BERWYN said that he is currently intending "to maybe write music a lot less for myself, and more for everybody else".
"It seems strange, but there is a level of selflessness that is required when you're making music," he added. "I want to do a slightly less self-interested approach, and see where that lands me."
BERWYN is set to perform his track 'Answers' during tonight's ceremony, and promised that we can expect "stillness and emotion" from his performance.
The artist added of tonight's ceremony: "I'm a big Sam Fender fan! So I'm excited to see him perform, yeah."

'No secrets' and no certainty in one-of-a-kind NHL playoffs
By STEPHEN WHYNOMay 14, 2021 GMT

There will be no mysteries when Tampa Bay and Florida meet in the first round of the playoffs after facing off eight times this season and twice in the past week. Same deal for Montreal and Toronto, who have played 10 times since mid-January.
"I don't want to say it takes kind of some of the fun out it, but it does because you know a lot more what to expect," Lightning coach Jon Cooper said.
A strange NHL regular season has given way to a one-of-a-kind playoff tournament for the Stanley Cup. It will feature an opening two rounds of all divisional play for the first time in almost 30 years and re-seed the final four to crown a champion for the first time in league history.
"It's just another thing about our year that's incredibly unique," Vegas general manager Kelly McCrimmon said Friday. "You could see matchups that you would generally only see in a Stanley Cup Final situation, so that's going to add another layer of uniqueness to an already unique season."
It's so unique that by the time Calgary and Vancouver finish their regular seasons, some first-round playoff series will be two games old. A total of 57 games were postponed this season — 51 for virus-related reasons — so the playoffs open a few days later than planned when Washington hosts Boston on Saturday night.
After expanding to 24 teams to complete the 2020 season, the playoff field is back to the traditional 16 with four from each temporarily realigned division. The first two rounds are a return to the divisional playoff format the NHL used from 1982-93, and things should be even spicier after a season of all divisional play.
"There's really no secrets," said Carolina's Rod Brind'Amour, one of six head coaches in the playoffs who played in that old format. "It's going to be too much going on, both teams trying to do the same things and we're each in each other's way, so something's going to give."
Cooper thinks Game 1 of each series will better resemble a Game 2 or 3 since teams won't need any time to get familiar with each other. They've had at least eight chances to get acquainted over the past four months.
"Bad blood's already there, typically if you've played a team eight times and both teams are in the playoffs," Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said. "Instead of sort of a buildup over time where gradually you get to Game 4 and all of a sudden now the nastiness starts, you'll just see it sooner. Familiarity will breed contempt quicker."
Nashville GM David Poile believes that familiarity will also breed better series. The league has tried for years to gin up rivalries, and while these aren't the circumstances anyone wanted, there's no love lost in any of the eight first-round matchups.
"There's been a lot to, I guess, not like about this year, but one of the things is playing these same teams and building up these rivalries," Poile said. "It's really, really good, and I think it's going to make for good hockey."
There will likely be different styles of hockey across the divisions: Nashville-Carolina and Tampa Bay-Florida in the Central, Boston-Washington and the New York Islanders vs. Pittsburgh in the East, St. Louis-Colorado and Minnesota-Vegas in the West and Montreal-Toronto and Winnipeg-Edmonton in the North. For one, there are still no fans allowed in arenas in Canada, while every arena in the U.S. will have a crowd of at least 4,000 to start the playoffs.
"By this time, I think we're pretty used to it with no fans," Winnipeg forward Nate Thompson said. "In the bubble (last summer), every team had to create their own momentum, their own excitement."
There's no bubble this time, and the NHL is even relaxing pandemic protocols for each team that has 85% of its traveling party fully vaccinated. Even after he and the Lightning won the Cup in quarantine as bubble hockey champions, Tampa Bay center Yanni Gourde said "it's a completely different vibe" this year and is excited to get back to sharing the playoffs with family.
"It does feel a lot more normal, or like it used to be in the years past," Bruins captain Patrice Bergeron said. "Traveling, two games on the road, two games back at home and then 1-1-1, so it's back to regular playoffs, and kind of looking forward to that."
Hockey players and coaches know better than to look too far forward. But reseeding the final four provides the potential for cross-continental semifinals and Cup Final matchups that would ordinarily never be possible.
Boston and Toronto could meet for the Cup after several recent first-round series. It could be Washington-Carolina, Edmonton-Vegas or Nashville-St. Louis.
"We'd love to find out," McCrimmon said. "It'll be really interesting to see what those games are like, to see how teams are playing, and of course there's so many things that are going to change between now and then. ... Just through the eyes of a hockey fan, that's going to be really neat to see what happens."

What Are Some Of The Most Common Causes of Bolt Failures
An accident at one of the most popular amusement parks in the world is forcing many people in the fastener industry to take a long, hard look at the causes of bolt failures.
Cedar Point's "Top Thrill Dragster" is the second-tallest roller coaster in the world, but it hasn't run since August 15, 2021. That's the day a piece of metal flew from the ride and struck a woman in the head.
A report by the Ohio Department of Agriculture blamed the accident on the "instantaneous overload fracture" of a bolt that caused a metal flag plate to dislodge from the ride. The report says that Cedar Point did nothing wrong and broke no laws, but the woman remains seriously injured and the ride may never run again.
Failures of bolted joints happen. But the question that is typically asked when it happens is 'could this have been avoided?" So let's take a look at some of the most common causes of bolt failure and what you can do to decrease your risk.
Why Bolts Fail
Before we look at some of the causes of bolt failures, let's examine why a bolt might fail in the first place.
Improper preloading/tensioning
Loss of preload during service
Excessive application of cyclic loading
Wrong grade (bolt not strong enough)
Understanding why a bolt may fail is an important part of the design process.
Improper Preloading
In order for a fastened joint to work properly, the bolt must be stretched. As the bolt stretches, it gets closer to the nut member, squeezing anything that may be in the gap between the two.
To achieve the proper tightening load, torque is typically applied to the bolt or nut with a wrench. Preload is the term for this tightening load. Specifically, it's the tension created in a fastener when it is tightened is known as preload. Its purpose is to keep parts from slipping and opening.
Although preload is the most important aspect in a bolted joint, numerous other parameters, such as operating temperatures, harsh and corrosive environments, and whether the joint is "hard" or "soft," influence the ability to obtain or maintain the necessary preload. All of these aspects must be evaluated and factored into the joint design.
Insufficient Preload
It's the clamping force that's generated by tensioning that allows a bolt to sustain the forces applied to it. Including a gasket or a washer helps, but it's only effective if the bolts provide enough clamp force. Because of the clamping force generated by the bolts, the forces applied to the joint are transmitted through friction. This results in a secure bolted connection.
Preloading boosts a structure's inherent frequency, preventing reverberation caused by external disturbances. It also prevents buckling in particular systems where stresses change based on position. That's why it's vitally important to get it right. A torque wrench is often used to attain proper bolt tension.
Bolt Overload
Bolt overload happens when the applied force causes the bolt to fail due to overload. This is a direct result of the axial force applied to the bolted joint. It's that force that causes the bolt to fracture in the threaded area.
Overstressing is the most prevalent cause of bolt failures.
Bolts are constantly under pressure. From the internal stress (aka preload), external pressure (the tensile load), and static stress (tensile load) pulling on both ends of the bolt, even high-strength bolts can fail.
But if the strength of the bolt is not up to par, that's a quality issue, typically leading to fatigue failure. Bolts should be replaced regularly to avoid it altogether. The bottom line is that you can never overlook quality control.
Decrease Your Risk Of Bolted Joint Failures
To ensure that you're using high-quality fasteners for all of your projects, make sure that your fastener supply company has the capability to deliver what you need.
At Big Bolt, our CNC machining methods, heat treatments, and tensile testing machines are second to none. Our ongoing investment in test and measurement equipment ensures that our customers always get the best possible fasteners in the shortest amount of time.

Choosing an HVAC contractor for your air conditioning installation or air conditioner replacement is much more important than choosing the make or model of your air conditioning unit. There's an old saying in the HVAC industry that "the most important day in the life of your HVAC unit is the day it's installed." We believe this is true.
Despite the energy efficiency claims made by A/C manufacturers, they don't mean anything if the unit is improperly installed. Unfortunately, about half of all new HVAC systems aren't installed properly, and as a result, fail to live up to manufacturer claims.
Usually, air conditioners start to have problems once they get older and parts wear out. The temperature output may not be consistent, and air conditioner repairs may be frequent. Air conditioning units are made to last an average of 10 years. Luckily, newer systems are energy efficient and will give you a nice return on your utility bills.
One-Year "Test Drive" – If you are unhappy with your home comfort cooling system and we cannot fix it, we will remove the system and refund 100% of your original investment at any time during the first year.
Craftsmanship Guarantee – If you are not 100% pleased with the quality and craftsmanship of your installation, we will do whatever it takes to ensure your total satisfaction.
Comfort Guarantee – We guarantee that the cooling system we install in your home will cool your home as we stated. If the temperature range we have promised is not achieved, we will replace the system at no charge.
Property Protection Guarantee – All property such as lawns, shrubbery, carpeting, floors, walls, furniture and door frames are protected. Damaged property will be replaced or repaired. Protective hall runners will be used on all work and traffic areas.
When your A/C unit breaks down, you're left with two options: repair it or replace it. It's a hard decision. Repairs cost less than replacement, but frequent repairs add up. Here are some tips to help you decide.
Take the age of the unit and multiply it by the cost of the repair. Say your A/C unit is 10 years old and the repair will cost $300. The number would be $3,000, so a repair is practical. However, if the repair were to cost $600, for a total of $6,000, it would be worth replacing the system.
Energy Star recommends getting a new system after 10+ years because the energy savings can outweigh the costs of replacement over time.
Some repairs that are needed on A/C systems are guaranteed to lead to other problems down the road. For example, a leaking system. Once a leak starts, other leaks are sure to follow in an older system, costing thousands of dollars. At this point, a new system will likely save you hassle and money overall.
How much is a new A/C system?
A new air conditioning unit will cost anywhere from $3,600 to $7,200, depending on the options chosen and engineering requirements. If you're on the fence about a repair or a replacement, contact the pros at WeatherMakers. We will assess the situation and help you determine the best course of action.
At WeatherMakers we know every home and home owner is unique. When we inspect your home for a new air conditioning system, we conduct a thorough inspection of your home, ventilation, insulation, and square footage to determine the right A/C size for your home. All local codes and efficiency standards are followed to ensure your warranties remain valid and your new A/C system is operating safely and efficiently. We offer a FREE Comfort Survey & Home Analysis to identify your requirements and offer a solution that is best for you.
Every brand is different. While most companies focus on one brand, our purchasing power allows us to work directly with many HVAC manufacturers. Our highly trained and experienced technicians know exactly which A/C brand will work best in your home. As a Green Screened HVAC company, energy efficiency is very important to us. We will make sure that your new air conditioning system lives up to its manufacturer claims and is specifically chosen and designed for your home.
Sometimes an air conditioner replacement is planned. Other times, it's an unwelcome surprise. We can help with our easy and convenient financing programs as an affordable way to pay for your new home comfort system. The energy savings from your new high-efficiency air conditioner may even offset the upfront investment.

And They Vote
CNN reports on the impact of Puerto Ricans moving to the mainland after Hurricane Maria.
In the wish lists of Democratic strategists, one imagines the arrival of tens of thousands of Democratic-leaning voters to Florida, seemingly overnight, ranks pretty high.
Two months after Hurricane Maria made landfall on the island, new data suggests that's exactly what's happened.
Figures on school enrollment provided to CNN from the Florida Department of Education suggest that well over 50,000 Puerto Ricans will have moved to Florida and made it their residence heading into the midterm election next year.
These voters are likely to be strong Democrat supporters, as an analysis by Dan Smith, a University of Florida professor, found that heavily-Puerto Rican districts only gave 15 to 35% support to Trump.
Counting the number of school children arriving from Puerto Rico is a good way to understand how Florida's electorate will change due to Hurricane Maria. "School enrollment is the best indicator for long-term settlement," said Edwin Melendez, director of the Center for Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter College in New York.
More than 6,500 Puerto Rican children have enrolled in Florida schools as of November 14. The data shows a strong continuing trend: A week earlier, the figure stood at 5,600. A week before that, it was 4,300. The evidence suggests that substantially more children are enrolled at this point as this kind of data can have a lag and has reporting gaps, Melendez said.
With a colleague, Melendez found that if 9,600 Puerto Rican children enroll in schools, that means a total of about 41,000 Puerto Ricans migrated to Florida. On the high end, if 15,400 students enroll, an estimated 83,000 Puerto Ricans migrated. There is a very high probability based on the current trend that the lower estimate will be surpassed by next November.
Migration at this level will mean Republicans face an even harsher demographic shift in a state already trending away from them. Hispanics constituted an estimated 12% of the eligible voter population in Florida in 2000. Before the Hurricane, that number was expected to double by 2030.
"It's a little more headwind for Republicans who were already grappling with an increasingly Democratic population," said Rob Griffin, director of quantitative analysis at the Center for American Progress and contributor to the States of Change project.
I can report that Miami-Dade County Public Schools is already accommodating the arrival. We're sadly accustomed to this; after the earthquake in Haiti in 2010 we took in a lot of new students and made room for them.
As for the impact this could have on the elections in 2018 and 2020, it's highly unlikely that the people who were basically ignored by the Trump administration until the public outcry forced them to do something — like toss paper towels — while they did everything they could for Texas (although it wasn't nearly enough, according to the people in Texas) will forget what happened in the aftermath of the storm. They were not just ignored; they were mocked, vilified, and set up for a con.
The reason for this treatment is simple Republican logic. Puerto Ricans can't vote in the presidential election and even if they could, they're largely Democrats anyway. Texas, on the other hand, is very Republican and also the home of one of Trump's possible primary challengers in 2020, Ted Cruz. You go where the money is and where you can score electoral points.
But once Puerto Ricans are on the mainland and registered to vote, they will vote. And they will remember.

Faithful Correspondent spoke:
You mention the Haitians who were rescued after the earthquake there and sent to – where else but Florida (where brown people go). I read this morning that the Justice Dept. has decided enough is enough and plan to deport them back to where they came from. How long ago was it that they arrived? Years upon years they've been acclimated to the life on the mainland, but who gives a damn.

The other day, I snuck a peek into my old life. I was headed to the dentist in downtown San Francisco, where I hardly ever go anymore. The streets were bustling with people. A sunny afternoon demanded outdoor lunch tables where many a girl dressed in cute floral blouses adorned with J.Crew statement necklaces dug into salads while continuously checking work emails on their iPhones. I knew these girls. I was one of these girls, sans the perfectly polished hair. We worked late hours, lunched infrequently (mostly we ate at our office desks) and lugged big gym bags to work. We pushed ourselves onto crowded trains during rush hour commutes, clutching our paperback books while listening to our iPods. We stood in the treadmill lines at Crunch or 24 Hour Fitness. Brought our makeup bags and straightening irons to freshen up for late dinner dates fueled by wine only to do it all over again. We planned dinner parties around television shows, slept in late on the weekends unless we did yoga or went running or had friends visiting from out of town.
It felt strange, walking out of the Montgomery station, feeling like I'd stepped into a movie set. Like I'd rewound a tape and was watching a rerun. I was 22 when I moved to San Francisco. My face was rounder than it had been in years past, and my capacity for late nights was much greater. I had confidence but often questioned myself. I had never run a 5K or been in a serious relationship. I had never parallel-parked my car. I had never tasted a fresh fig, or made a whole roast chicken. I had never been in love; I had only mistaken unrequited lust for what I thought was love.
Today I look in the mirror and I see the same person, but a different version of myself. I am thinner than I was back then, though with a few more stretch marks thanks to having had a baby. I have better fashion sense. My hair is more consistently naturally curly than straight. I know how to roast a chicken and panfry a steak and I can parallel park on hill like a whiz (most of the time). I know what real love is now, and what being loved should feel like. Fresh figs are a special treat I look forward to every Summer and Fall. I know who I am. I know what I want out of this life. This motherhood thing has thrown me for a loop; every time I think "I've got it!" I'm humbled to realize that I'll never really 'get it.' But I'm doing it! Yes! I'm doing it. Doing it all. I try to keep my head above water while I frantically kick underneath. I try to make it look easy by taking the time to put on lipstick and take photos of food, and write contributed articles. Mostly for my own sake; to convince myself that I can and will continue to conquer this new life, these new challenges.
In the moment, we are all doing it. In cities and towns, at home and away from home, over lunch and dinner, in front of the computer, behind a desk, on a trail, in the mountains, in dark corners, in bright open spaces, on our phones, with our noses buried in books, from the couch, from our beds, with wet hair, behind the wheel, on a bicycle, in front of the mirror. The reflection you see is never more and never less than a perfectly present moment.
Today's recipe is a nod to the freshness of Spring, the new beginnings, the need to nurture your soul and your body with good, healthy ingredients every step of the way.
1. Preheat your broiler. Combine the broccolini, chickpeas, and garlic with oil in a large bowl. Season with salt and toss to coat.
2. Transfer to a foil-lined baking sheet and broil for about two minutes, taking care to flip the broccolini once. Broil for another two minutes.
3. Divide among plates and top with fresh ricotta. Season with red pepper flakes (to taste) and more sea salt.
4. Drizzle with a bit of lemon juice and olive oil. Sprinkle with fresh chopped mint. Serve with toast.

Wisbech murder victim had 'nowhere to turn' and 'relied' on man who killed her

Mother-of-two Dzilva Butiene, 48, was murdered by Kestutis Bauzys in Debenham Court, Orange Grove, in April 2017. Picture: CAMBS POLICE
A cancer survivor who was stamped to death in a Wisbech flat by her "happy drunk" controlling partner was isolated and had "nowhere to turn to", a report has revealed.
Kestutis Bauzys, of Orange Grove, Wisbech, was jailed for at least 17 years for the murder of Dzilva Butiene at Cambridge Crown Court in October 2017. Picture: CAMBS POLICE
Mother-of-two Dzilva Butiene, 48, was murdered by Kestutis Bauzys in Debenham Court, Orange Grove, in April 2017.
Bauzys, 46, was sentenced to serve a minimum of 17-and-a-half years in prison at Cambridge Crown Court last October.
The court heard that Ms Butiene had more than 60 bruises and marks on her chest and abdomen when her body was discovered.
In a Domestic Homocide Review comissioned by the Fenland Community Safety Partnership (FCSP), it explains how Ms Butiene had become "reliant on her perpetrator" and was easily exploited by him due to his.
Bauzys, who was described as a "heavy drinker" had brought Ms Butiene to England from Lithuania in 2013 "in the hope and promise of a new life".
While living in Wisbech she was diagnosed with cervical cancer - which she was in remission from - but also suffered anxiety, depression, struggled with alcoholism and was unable to find consistent work.
The report states: "She was very isolated for a number of reasons and this may have caused a reliance on the perpetrator which was easy for him to exploit.
"Understanding what she faced is almost unknown as she seems to have been a 'closed book'. It is difficult to imagine how her life must have been, given that she seems to have had nowhere to turn to, or been aware of how she could have sought support."
Although the report is anonymised, it is believed to have been related to Ms Butiene's death.
When Ms Butiene was admitted to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King's Lynn in November 2016 she told staff she was depressed.
Bauzys also told staff he injected her with magnesium sulphate.
The report said that if Ms Butiene had been "minded to discuss an abusive relationship - this is the type of situation which should be identified as an opportunity and maximised."
The report also states that it is likely that there will be others in a very similar position" and there will be lessons learned within the Lithuanian community were there is a "distrust of authorities and much of this is a cultural issue".
The review concluded seven recommendations, including working with professionals and agencies across Fenland "using this case to highlight the effect of alcohol and controlling and coercive behaviour".
Local housing associations and providers should seek to gain domestic abuse accreditation along with migrant outreach workers.
The report adds: "The FCSP should look at ways to gain voluntary support from within the migrant community in supporting initiatives for tackling domestic abuse to assist in creating opportunities for intervention."

San Jose Water Files Application for Investment in Advanced Metering Infrastructure
San Jose Water, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SJW Group, announced it has filed an application with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to deploy Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) throughout its service area.
AMI technology includes advanced meters that can take up to hourly readings daily, along with a data transmission system to provide water usage information to customers in near real time. Currently, meter reads are performed manually and are provided to most customers once every two months as part of their bill.
The filing comes on the heels of a successful pilot study completed earlier this year, which showed significant customer benefits of the AMI program, including 24-hour access to water usage data, early leak detection, and timely notification of usage spikes. In addition to enhancing customers' access to water use information, AMI has been shown to encourage more efficient use of water and preserve water resources, supporting statewide initiatives to drive water conservation.
"California is still feeling the impact of our most recent severe drought. And, the reality of future droughts has changed the way people think about water," stated Andrew Gere, President and COO of San Jose Water.
"Customers want to know how they can manage their water consumption. AMI is a critical investment in our infrastructure that aligns with our goals of environmental stewardship and innovation as a solution. This technology would allow customers to more effectively monitor and control their usage and preserve valuable water resources – while complying with new state conservation standards and minimizing our carbon footprint."
Since California's historic drought (2014-2017), the Governor and State Water Resources Control Board have put in place permanent water use restrictions and other policies that make conservation a way of life for all Californians. Senate Bill 606 and Assembly Bill 1668, both signed into law by the Governor, will define urban efficiency standards for both indoor and outdoor use, and address the need to minimize water loss through leaks.
Beginning in 2022, these laws set initial indoor consumption at 55 gallons per capita per day, gradually dropping to 50 gallons per capita per day by 2030. Enforcement is scheduled to begin in January 2025.
San Jose Water's filing requests an implementation schedule that would complete installation by the end of 2024. Operation of these meters is intended to begin by January 2025 to coincide with the anticipated enforcement of the new urban water efficiency standards. AMI deployment by San Jose Water is subject to CPUC review and approval.

St Oswald's Church is in the village of Warton, Lancashire, England. It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Tunstall, the archdeaconry of Lancaster, and the diocese of Blackburn.  Its benefice is united with those of St Mary, Borwick and  St John the Evangelist, Yealand Conyers. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. The ruined remains of the medieval rectory survive next to the present vicarage to the west of the church.

History
The present church is probably built on the site of a church in existence prior to the 12th century. It was largely rebuilt in the 15th century, retaining part of the wall of the south aisle. The north aisle was either added or rebuilt in the 16th century. In 1848–49 renovation work was carried out on the south arcade by the Lancaster architects Sharpe and Paley. More extensive restoration work was carried out in 1892 by
Paley, Austin and Paley, successors to Sharpe and Paley. This consisted of renewing windows in the clerestory, the north aisle and elsewhere, and reconstructing the roof. The church has historical connections with the Washington family, ancestors of George Washington, first president of the United States. Since 1977, a Flag of Washington, D.C. has been in the church; it was given by American soldiers and normally hangs in the church, except on the Fourth of July, when it is flown from a flagpole outside.

Architecture

Exterior

The church is pebbledashed with sandstone dressings, and has a slate roof. Its plan consists of a west tower, a nave with north and south aisles and a clerestory, and a chancel. The tower has angle buttresses, three-light bell openings, and a battlemented parapet with corner pinnacles. The former west door has been partly blocked, making it into a window, and over this is a small niche. The tower is  high.

Interior
The tower once bore the arms of the Washington family, but these have been moved and are now re-set inside it. The tower holds three bells, hung for full circle ringing, but currently unfit to be rung. The second bell dates from 1571, the tenor from 1731, and the treble from 1782. The second and the frame in which the bells are hung are considered to be of historical significance. In the southeast chapel is a sedilia that is considered to date from the late 13th or early 14th century. The font is cylindrical and lead-lined, and carries the date 1661. Incorporated into the 19th-century pews are coats of arms, one of these being of the Washington family that is dated 1614. In the southwest aisle are the arms of Queen Victoria. In the church is stained glass by Shrigley and Hunt, Ward and Hughes, and F. Burrow, and memorial wall tablets by George Webster. There is more stained glass in the vestry by Shrigley and Hunt; this depicts Saints Oswald, Patrick and Aidan.

External features
The churchyard contains the war graves of eight service personnel of World War I, and a Royal Artillery soldier of World War II.

Q: How to prove the following by Cauchy-Schwarz? If
$u(x) \in C([a, b]), u(a) = 0,\; u(x) = \int_{a}^{x}u^{'}(t)dt$
then
$\int_{a}^{b} |u|^{2} dx \le \frac{1}{2}(b - a)^{2}\int_{a}^{b}|u^{'}(t)|^{2}dt$
The book said it can be proved using cauchy-schwarz-inequality, but I cannot make it.

A: One long line proves it: $$\int_a^b |u(t)|^2 dt=\int_a^b\left|\int_a^t 1\cdot u'(t')dt'\right|^2 dt\le\int_a^b\left[\int_a^t 1^2 dt'\cdot\int_a^t |u'(t')|^2dt'\right] dt\\\le\int_a^b\left[(t-a)\cdot\int_a^b |u'(t')|^2dt'\right] dt=\frac{(b-a)^2}{2}\int_a^b |u'(t')|^2dt'.$$The first $\le$ uses Cauchy-Schwarz; the second replaces an $\int_a^t dt'$ with $\int_a^b dt'$.

Described as OLD BOY set in a hospital room, ENEMY AT THE DEAD END is another notch in the Korean revenge film. Though initially it seems dark and ominous, the film ends up part revenge thriller, part mystery, and part dark comedy.
A man, Min-ho, is in a hospital after having a stroke, not wanting to help himself and is suicidal. However, when he gets a new roommate, Sang-up, Min-ho recognizes him. There's a past between these two. But Sang-up has amnesia, and doesn't even remember how he got there. Min-ho uses this to his advantage by slowly tormenting his roommate. Slowly though, Sang-up's memory begins returning, and he remembers that he knows Min-ho somehow.
Director Owen Cho is a master at building tension. Initially both men cannot walk, thus they must strain and almost put themselves through pain to gain the upper hand. As each man tries to rehabilitate quicker than the other one, they each find more and more creative ways to torture each other. From the standard of swiping the knife at dinner to getting creative with soap, each "fight" between them is interesting and funny in a very twisted way. With each new revelation, it's hard to pick a side in this battle because each man comes off as equally crazy and almost senile.
The atmosphere created is ominous and dark. By keeping a majority of the action in the single hospital room, Cho has created an almost claustrophobic effect with each building interaction. As the mystery begins to unravel coupled with our patients growing stronger, the tension escalates and eventually culminates into one of the slowest yet most realistic fights I've seen in recent memory.
All in all, ENEMY AT THE DEAD END is a solid entry into the revenge film genre. The story arc isn't groundbreaking, but the use of space the creativity of the interactions are worth a look.

A Conversation with Erez Nevi Pana
Neta Konforti / August 04 2016
Neta Konforti, assistant curator of the Beating Salts exhibition, in a conversation with Erez Nevi Pana.
Erez Nevi Pana was born in Bnei Brak in 1983, and grew up in his parents' plant nursery in the city's industrial zone. The nursery accompanies his professional life like a leitmotif, and constitutes the conceptual foundation of his work. Stuck in the nursery and bored, Nevi Pana began constructing imagined environments and colorful inner worlds for himself with his fertile imagination. This was in effect his first design project.
Erez Nevi Pana
I created a new social relationship and personification between me and the flowers, the leaves, the stamens - each of them had a unique role and became a pattern, a mold. In the nursery there was constant engagement with colors and forms. The process I underwent was very natural for me - expanding and translating the world, and transferring it from two dimensions to three. I got my talent for design from my mother, who studied fashion design and pattern making at Shenkar, but abandoned it soon after my eldest brother was born.
Nevi Pana completed his BA studies in the Department for Interior Design at Holon Institute of Technology, in the "Object Space" program headed by Gal Gaon. In his second year he was already working for a living in a variety of interior design projects, but it was the study program he chose, "Object Space", that led him to the wide field of design and specific engagement with objects out of inner inquiry. The experience gave him the incentive to continue studying and delve into the subject at Design Academy Eindhoven, one of the leading and most influential design schools worldwide. "The curse of design", as Nevi Pana calls it.
What led you to study at Design Academy Eindhoven?
During my studies in Holon I was always considered an overly "artistic" student (designer), as opposed to the more "practical" students around me. I always knew I'd want to go on to study for a Masters degree. There were guests from Italy, who'd been invited by Gal Gaon to attend the graduation project submissions, at the presentation of my graduation project in Holon, and they were very enthusiastic. Gal and the Italians warmly recommended that I go and study at Design Academy Eindhoven, and that's what I did. I guess I owe it to them.
The imagined world Erez Nevi Pana created in his graduation project in Holon was conceived in the industrial flower refrigerator in his parents' nursery.
Inspiration: Bamboo
Opening the refrigerator doors and going into it led viewers into a room filled with ceramic bamboo branches, cut and painted red, creating a sense of looking at tendons/veins. The distinctive look created a wonderful esthetic on the one hand, and on the other a sense of unease deriving from relocating the familiar material into a completely different context.
I wanted to create an experience of distortion in the viewers' different encounter with the material. I exploited the bamboo's ceramic appearance and created an "evolution of bamboo". The distortions accentuate the falseness; the falseness that was produced by using a familiar material and locating it in a different imaginary world. It's the same with the world of nature in which I grew up; the nursery, the flowers, the harmony were an island of sanity, but as I grew up this world was revealed as a false, unnatural world in a dirty and crowded industrial zone. I was fascinated by the transition from the industrial world, by the viewers' expectation before opening the refrigerator doors, the experience they undergo as they enter the clean and sterile world I constructed, and the disparity it created.
Nevi Pana's specialty is the invention of new materials and/or using materials outside their familiar context.
I investigate existing materials. I learn the material, feel it, and after extensive research, trial and error, I incorporate it into a completely different context - I actually expand its specific use. For example, this is how the Siolid project was born.
A stool from the Soilid project, Museum Collection
A familiar, well-loved raw material, the plant soil he knew from his parents' nursery, became the focus of his work. In his small student kitchen in Eindhoven, Nevi Pana started mixing soil with any material he happened upon, and then testing the new product, its abilities, and durability. One such combination, with fungi he purchased in Amsterdam, yielded a surprising product: a strong, durable material that swelled and doubled in size. Nevi Pana created a series of stools from the new material, two of which are part of the Design Museum Holon Collection.
What is your most meaningful experience from Eindhoven?
It was the first time in my life that I was actually "tamed". For me, studying there was more about working on my personality and my attitude toward things, and less about "pure design". I had questions about myself as a person and as a designer, about what is the added value I bring.
And in terms of design studies?
The process in Eindhoven is very experimental. The work focuses on the process itself, not the function, the product, and happens during the work itself. Immense emphasis is placed on material research, and the statement in the product. That's how I was drawn into material research at the end of which there was also an object, either functional or not.
And on a personal level?
In Eindhoven you break and don't reconstruct. You continue to shatter and pose questions and constantly contemplate your place in the design world and your suitability for it. The studies are hard. Twenty-one of us started, and ten of us finished. You need a very strong and powerful personality. You need mental fortitude to survive the program, personally and professionally.
In the same breath, we had the freedom to create the experimental designs, although in practice, the workshops at the Academy couldn't contain my student experiments because we weren't allowed to use materials that aren't fabric, metal, plastic, or ceramic. When I came in with baked soil, they didn't know how to "digest" it.
Erez Nevi Pana was penalized for his design research audacity. On the one hand his mentors encouraged him to explore and search, and on the other the Academy itself, which was concerned about the tools and instruments in the workshops, did not enable him to work.
I sometimes felt paralyzed in terms of my ability to develop, to develop the fields of creativity and research I was exploring. In my second year I was grounded because I worked with salt.
How did you cope with the siege?
Mostly obstinacy. Not quitting, and continuing to create and invent. I found alternatives in workshops outside the Academy so I could continue my work. If I hadn't been so determined, I'd probably have continued working with classic raw materials like "wood", pretty boring.
Erez Nevi Pana presents a paradoxical reality in which Design Academy Eindhoven is a biting, innovative underground, but at the same time it does not provide a real practical possibility for containing the students' creative innovation and thinking.
What good came out of the two years you studied there, and from your obstinacy?
In my first year, objects I designed were exhibited in museums and galleries around the world, including Design Museum Holon, in an exhibition curated by Li Edelkoort. The interest of outside bodies gave me the strength to understand that there is a place for the research I do, and for material combinations and locating them outside their original context. It encouraged me to continue my research, the path I believe in and how I create, concurrently with my studies.
How did you come to engage with salt as a raw material?
I've always been attracted to the landscape and land contours in the Dead Sea region. When I wandered around the area, I also visited the Dead Sea Works and came to an understanding that beyond the sea's shrinking and evaporation there's an additional problem - twenty million tons of salt are piled up every year, a byproduct of the Dead Sea Works. There's a huge quantity of raw material, so I started a process of thinking about and researching the material. I brought a sack of salt back to Eindhoven and started trying to figure out what can be made from it that hasn't been done yet.
Tell us a little about the process
I heated the salt in a ceramic oven at high temperature, in specially-made molds. The material re-hardened into huge crystals.
Out of a desire to repurpose the raw material, Nevi Pana stretches the familiar boundaries of salt as a raw material, and redefines it. When heated to a very high temperature using solar energy or gas, the salt re-crystallizes at high speed in contrast with the slow, natural geological process. The resulting product has a white, pure, and prestigious appearance. "Poor man's marble" obtained in an inexpensive and rapid process.
Close-up of a tile made from salt
What in your view is the designer's role today?
I perceive designers as critically examining society. In every design process there is a critical view in which the designer indicates a particular problem and proposes his interpretation as an answer and solution to that problem.
And you? Are you a designer or an artist?
People define me as an artist. But I'm a designer. Period. I design because I create a solution from a reverse process to that of creating art. Creating art is creating from the existing world, what the artist sees and transforms into something abstract. My role as a designer is the opposite. From a particular idea and narrative I have in my mind I create a product. From the abstract I create a tangible product. Although the objects I design are very artistic in terms of form or material, they always maintain the possibility of use.
"Surprisingly," says Nevi Pana, "in the chair book from the Design Museum Holon Collection, a nendo chair and one of my chairs appear one after the other, as if the cornerstone was laid back then for exhibitions that would be mounted one alongside the other."
Tell me how the collaboration with Design Museum Holon began which led to this exhibition.
I came to the Museum in Holon to pick up one of my chairs from the Collection and send it to an Eindhoven Academy exhibition in Milan. As I was packing up the chair I was chatting with Galit who suggested that I bring my graduation project from Eindhoven to Design Museum Holon and exhibit it alongside the nendo exhibition. She already knew it was the last exhibition she would be curating there, and said, "It would be sweet-salty for me if you came on board," and her words captivated me. It was a great honor and a wonderful experience to work with Galit Gaon - rare support, extensive knowledge, and uncompromising professionalism.
Beating Salts is my first solo exhibition, with my objects as a sidekick of that crazy studio of Oki Sato's. I learned a lot and enjoyed the process, working in a museum I truly admire, with its wonderful staff, with the Japanese walking around in gloves, and constructing this story for the Israeli audience - what can be done with twenty million tons of salt every year.
An object from "Lot's Wife" at the exhibition in Eindhoven
I really like the division created in the exhibition - two projects: "Lot's Wife" and "Poor Man's Marble", each starting at a different edge, both meeting in the central room, with a teaser for the third project I'm currently working on. The connecting thread is the material used, and its reuse in the crumbling material; the exhibition was tailor-made for the space, very site-specific thinking was done about the Museum's space and light boxes, and given the constraints I think we've created an exciting and interesting exhibition. The work process with you was interesting too, it's the first exhibition you've curated, and I felt your strong desire to do it in the best possible way. There was something very personal in the process that appealed to me, and I liked the small discoveries that lit you up.
Plans for the future: Where do you think you'll be in five years time?
Still creating, post-doctorate. This is a great opportunity to thank Dr. Daniella Ohad Smith and Dr. Debbie Hellerstein who are accompanying me. Perhaps I'll also have a spacious studio and enough money in the bank. The economic reality of designers is not easy even today.
Final words?
May we be healthy, creating, and happy.
The exhibition Beating Salts will be open until October 30, 2016

Ukrainian politicians have condemned Bragar for an incorrect answer to the pensioner
magictr | February 1, 2020 | Politic | No Comments
The people's Deputy from the Servants of the people Eugene Bragar in the air channel 112 to the question of the pensioner as to pay for utilities said that it is possible to sell a dog breed of the elite, and for the proceeds to pay for heating.
Later the politician apologized for his response, but his party members and former MPs strongly condemned such statements and called it unacceptable.
The party Bargara geo Leros critically embraced this position and rather briefly expressed his opinion.
Former Minister of foreign Affairs Pavlo Klimkin believes that such statements by politicians should be excluded from the lists of the party because of the cynicism should be the limit.
Deputy head of the servant of the people Yevheniya Kravchuk apologized for the actions of a colleague and said from participation in the talk show is not one member died.
MP from the party of Evropeiska solidarity Irina Gerashchenko noted that on the front like dogs, because four-legged friends should not sell.
The wife of Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kuleba wrote that in support of all dogs elite breeds of the country are unable not to post their favorite videos favorite Gustav.
And even though, as he sometimes is, I will not sell him because he is family, wrote Eugene Kuleba.
The people's Deputy from opzz Ilya Kiva declared that found Love Pavlovna (the pensioner who called in the Studio) and is going to come back to her house.
MP from the party the Voice of Yaroslav Zheleznyak posted an ironic post on this topic.
By the way, Deputy head of the faction servant of the people Yevheniya Kravchuk said that the leadership of the faction did not support the position of Eugene Bragar regarding the payment of utilities retirees.
She apologized for the Deputy called saying Bragar absolutely incorrect.
Such a "Council" angered Ukrainians, therefore, in social networks there are many memes on the subject.

House Democrats have sent at least 6 emails fundraising off their sit-in
byBonnie Kristian
At least six fundraising emails seeking to capitalize on the event's publicity have gone out since Democrats began their gun control sit-in at the House of Representatives on Wednesday.
The emails were sent by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which works to fund and organize Democratic House races, and were signed by representatives including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California.
"This is an historically important moment! John Lewis has been leading a sit-in on the House floor for 11 long hours now. We're fighting to prevent gun violence," one Pelosi email says. "The Republicans refuse to lift a finger. It's shameful. I need your help to defeat them once and for all." The note asks for 6,000 donations from supporters, though it is unclear how sending campaign contributions will help already-elected representatives pass a bill.
