My Starling Murmur 29er
John's Starling Murmur 29er
By: John Watson
After reviewing the Starling Murmur Factory early last year, I placed a deposit for one myself, springing for the made in the UK front triangle, made in Taiwan rear swingarm model, in a larger size than the demo large I reviewed. Joe and I discussed the bike, I sent in the money needed and waited. A few months later, Joe alerted me that the bike was done and he shipped it to the United States. Little did I know that I wouldn't see the bike for almost 8 months later.
USPS to eBay
Joe shipped the Murmur via a carrier that transferred it to the USPS once it hit the US. The bike actually made it all the way to Los Angeles and then it went missing. No one knew anything, except for one employee at the local office. I called and said my package was there but it hadn't been delivered. This employee sounded confused. She said a big cardboard box from the UK arrived with a bicycle frame in it but that it was gone, most likely it went back to the sorting facility in Atlanta. How did she know what was in this mysterious package and how did it make it all the way to LA to then disappear?
After my conversation, I filed a claim with the USPS and gave them the employee's name and her description of the box. They assured me it would be found. Well, it was found but not in a USPS facility, it was found on eBay.
Joe from Starling got an email from a US customer saying a Murmur was on eBay. The customer asked about the frame's history because they were considering buying it. He looked it up and sure enough, it was my frame. We messaged the seller, he said it was his, that he bought it fair and square and that he was selling it to make a profit. Joe and I reasoned with the guy, told him it was stolen, and that he should sell it to us for what he paid for it. He basically told us to get stuffed. What do you do then? Do you call the police? Well, Joe did just that and was also told to get stuffed as well.
We were panicking because someone was going to buy that bike and sure enough, they did. Our only saving grace was that the bike was listed as a medium, when in fact it was an XL. A very long XL. The purchaser contacted Joe about the frame and Joe got the buyer to send me the XL and he'd send him a medium. Sure enough, the frame arrived a few days later… Pheewwwww
Building a Murmur
I can't even begin to exclaim how happy I am to have this bike but how was I going to build it up? I talked to the guys at Cane Creek during the last Sea Otter Classic and exclaimed how much I love the Helm fork that I reviewed on the Kingdom two years back. They showed me some new stuff they had coming out and I told them about the Starling Murmur. We exchanged contact information and a few months later, some fancy Cane Creek goodies showed up for review. Something similar happened with Hope, who makes my favorite disc brakes I've ever used, right there in the UK. Just like my Murmur.
After shooting Kelsey's Scott in Bend and noting her crazy handlebars, Syncros reached out asking if I'd want to try out their bars on my bike. Those wheels? They were part of a deal I worked out with Chris King to shoot their open house bikes so they had a digital archive of their Open House. I'm only telling you this, so you know that while I paid for the frame and a few other parts, a lot of these balleur parts came from companies for me to test out and review. Full disclosure.
Slowly, I began accumulating parts for the Murmur, meanwhile, it would be months before I got to ride any of them due to the eBay fiasco.
Once the bike arrived, I dropped the front triangle off at Good Color Studio in Santa Barbara to get it painted a color I've wanted to do for some time. It's based on an older Land Cruiser color, RAL 8001 and at this point, I knew we were moving to Santa Fe, so I wanted something Southwestern-inspired for this bike.
Now, I've already reviewed the Murmur itself, so if you're looking for a rundown for how the bike rides, go read that review. In short, I loved the Murmur so much that I bought one. It's the best riding full-suspension bike I've ever thrown a leg over and while I haven't ridden that many full-suspension steel bikes, I still fell in love with it.
All that said, I'm still not sure what wheels I'll ride on the bike for the long run. I've tried some Stans alloy wheels, those Zipp Moto wheels, but I think I like the ENVE rims more, with a CushCore in the rear so I can ride extra-low pressures. Yes, they are stiff but it works really well with the steel frame that has a lot of flex to it. I can't really describe the sensation, but the wheels seem to keep the bike planted in a way the Zipp and alloy wheels couldn't do. Until I figure that out for sure, let's look at the components that make this such a unique build.
Cane Creek Helm Coil
The Helm is such an exceptional fork and the coil-sprung version of the fork has really surpassed my expectations. Which, to be honest, are partly from laziness. It's nice to be able to hop on a bike and not really worry about setting sag by pumping air into it each and every time. All I had to do was an initial tune.
Why coil? Well, for a number of reasons. Beginning with the point I make above. Coils are easy to adjust with precision, at not a big weight sacrifice. These coils are light. Not as light as packing a chamber with air, but light enough to rival the Helm Air fork (2080g). The Helm Coil comes in at 2340g by comparison. It doesn't matter what travel you have either since all Helm forks are adjustable from 130 to 160mm travel. You just need the right one per your wheel size, 29er or 27.5″.
That weight difference might make a weight weenie cringe but with the 55 coil, which fits riders 160-200lbs, I was able to set up the fork to ride great every time. Now, I'm on the higher end of the coil weight limit, so I had to spend a little more time dialing it in but once it was set up correctly, the ride quality of this fork really does feel superior to air forks.
Hitting jumps or drops and the fork just seems to be less jarring and more controlled when landing. There's no need for pucks to keep it from bottoming out. It just peels away from the landing with ease. There's less on-the-trail dialing of knobs, it really does feel like a one and done procedure, especially since I usually ride this bike on primitive trails which are rocky, rutted, and loose, versus a bike park which would be smoother, with bigger jumps, and require a different tune.
Describing the feel of a coil fork comes down to the inherent nature of coils, which are progressive, meaning you get better control, more sensitivity to brake ruts, rocks, and other small hits. All you've got to do is tweak the typical controls on this fork, high vs low-speed compression, preload, and rebound. In terms of service, you should service coil shocks at the same interval as air, there's just less work to do since you don't have to rebuild an air spring in the process.
Now about that spring. I'm at the end of the limit for the spring and while it's fine if I am riding without a heavy camera pack, on the few photoshoots I've done, I did have to swap out the 55 for a 65 spring, since my 30lb camera pack would put me well over the top of the limit. So yeah, maybe it's a little more involved than putting a few extra PSI into a fork but for me, the feel and control outweigh this slight inconvenience. The procedure is easy enough but the extra spring will cost ya around $40 plus shipping. All Helm Coils ship with a 55, so if you're over or under its range, be prepared to add on another $40 to the $899.00 price tag.
The Cane Creek Helm Coil comes in both 44mm and 51mm offset and can be purchased at 130mm to 160mm travel intervals. With 44mm offset limited to 140, 150, and 160mm travel options. See more at Cane Creek!
Cane Creek DBcoil IL Shock
Now that coil spring shock! What about that? Well, unlike the Helm Coil, the DBcoil IL shock took some getting used to and a bit more time to set up. The way I describe it is with a smaller coil, you need more precise adjustments. It turns out, the original coil I had installed wasn't right for my weight, so I went up to the next size, which worked out perfectly. From there, it took some time to adjust high versus low-speed compression and rebound settings. Sag was easy, with this adjustment wheel and it looks amazing, yet even with all my adjustments dialed in, if I hit a big jump and bottom out, on the single-pivot design of the Murmur, the tire will rub the seat tube. It only happened once, and it was a big drop, but it's something to note. For comparison, I hit the same jump on the review bike last year with an air shock and did not experience the same issue. After working on a few settings and a half-turn of the adjustment ring, I went back and couldn't create the same bottoming out scenario.
As for disability, the DBcoil IL locks out for climbing, while minimizing pedal bob. It feels amazing exiting berms, and truly makes this bike ride the way it should. It would be nice to try a few other rear shocks over the next few months since single pivots by nature really need to be dialed in to avoid tire-rub on the seat tube.
I've been pleased with the DBcoil IL shock, even though it did take a bit of tinkering, more so than a comparable air shock, but I feel like now, the sensation of riding it made it worthwhile. At its price point of $460.00, it's worth trying one out if you get the chance!
Hope Tech 3 E4 brakes
Wow. These brakes really surpassed anything else I've used on the market, all with a finely tunable, made in the UK package. Dubbed the "ultimate enduro brake" I'd argue they're just the best brake for riding down mountains. Sure, they'll excel in enduro, but personally, they just feel amazing for extended descents where control is essential. The levers are comfortable and offer adjustment to get them in your preferred positioning, they come in a variety of colors, and are easily serviced (argued point depending on who your mechanic is!). For me, the feel of the brakes are stiff, firm, and reliable.
You won't have the need to pump them after dormancy or experience any fade due to cold temps either. We moved from Los Angeles during an 80º day to Santa Fe at 7,000′ and 30º. I rode the bike the next morning with no issues. Meanwhile, my other bikes are in dire need of a bleed. Is this anecdotal? For sure, but I can't help but think it has to do with the brake design. After extended usage over the past few months, I can say that my first impression has remained. They were my favorite when I rode them in my Chameleon review and they still are to this day! The Tech 3 E4 comes in a black hose ($220) or braided hose ($235) version. See more at Hope.
Tech Aside
Product review, tech assessment aside, this bike rides extraordinarily well. It climbs with ease and descends with such grace that it's easy to get in over your head. A 150/140 29er with a 2.6″ tire is a big bike, and I have wrecked harder on this than any other bike in the past. Since owning it, I've taken three big spills, all at top speed. They really rattled me yet every time I got up to gather myself and clean up the yard sale, the bike sits there, unscathed, ready to go again. That's the nicest thing about steel, you don't have to worry about it as much as carbon.
The Murmur, this Murmur, is a rare bird and if you ever get your chance to throw a leg around one, get ready to be wowed. Check out more at Starling Cycles. Thanks to the boys at Golden Saddle Cyclery for building this up. GSC is a dealer with a few demos available to ride, so swing by if you're interested in checking one out. Post-pandemic of course!

Suzy Homefaker
photo by P. A. Jensen
When my son was born, my wife and I decided that one of us should stay home with him. Because she makes more money than I ever did, I went from climbing the professional ladder to playing Chutes and Ladders.
That was years ago. I've been our son's primary caretaker since he was four months old. No daycare, no preschool. Just me. (And my wife, sometimes, of course.)
So, when people talk about the sacrifices of being a parent, I think I understand. I was my son's principal playmate for years. I left a job for life, for which I was highly trained; I later took a job as a liquor-store lackey just to interact with people who weren't two years old. Or, later, five years old. My life is not a tragedy, but these have to qualify as sacrifices, even if not on a grand scale.
On some scale, though, it's been tough. Especially when my wife has a brutal work schedule, with twenty-four-hour calls. Especially in the subzero winter, when playing outside with a toddler is unappealing, or maybe a bit unsafe. Parenting, particularly full-time, can be hard.
But it's easy compared to how it used to be.
I half-lament my day-to-day life as a stay-at-home parent, and I routinely hear other people half- or fully lament their lives as stay-at-home parents. But we all have dishwashers. And washing machines. And buy our food at the supermarket in convenient packaging. And cook that food in a microwave, or on a push-button stove, or in a push-button oven.
Our ancestors are laughing at us. Or crying, maybe.
Imagine doing all of this the way people have done it for, say, the overwhelming majority of human history. Which is to say, the way many people still do it in less developed parts of the world. Or even more rural parts of the world. These people would be on easy street with just a fraction of the technology that we enjoy.
My grandmothers, both of them, raised families without, say, dishwashers. Far past that, my father remembers when his family got running water, and he's the youngest of six. That means that my grandparents raised six infants without running water. This, umm, differs from my experience. Significantly.
And they were probably grateful that they had electricity.
So, "homemaking" isn't what it used to be. And that means the "homemakers" aren't what they used to be, either. I have been a "homemaker"—more like "homefaker"—for years, and I probably have the same set of household skills that my grandmothers had when they were about, say, six years old.
The differences here run deep. For example, I don't bake bread, let alone keep a starter. Let alone bake it in a wood-fired oven. Actually, I haven't started a wood fire inside an oven, ever. I haven't cooked with a fire at all since Scouts, when the results bordered on inedible. More to the point, our oven is self-cleaning. It has settings. And a light. It beeps.
The differences are wide-ranging, too. I haven't sewn since Home Ec. I push buttons on a washing machine. Our well is electric. I've needed to iron maybe four times in my adult life. We own more than one vacuum cleaner. Most of our pans are non-stick. (I use cast iron sometimes, to be cool.) We have a mini-pharmacy in our bathroom.
I. Shop. On. Amazon.
This list is not exhaustive, to put it courteously. But suffice it to say that I lack a lot of skills that used to come with homemaking. In the old days, when a man came in from work at night, he knew his place. The kitchen was the woman's domain—she had skills there that he did not. In the kitchen he was worthless; she was invaluable. Sure, maybe she wasn't going to shingle the roof, but don't touch her pans—you have no business being in here. You're going to wreck something. For symmetry, she'll leave your tools alone, not because that's "man's work," really, but because she's got enough to worry about in here.
Not so in my house, and for good reason. My wife, successful professional, arrives home and is immediately on a level playing field with me. You know, because she can also push buttons. It's okay—we remember how we got here: neither of us thought that I should stay home because I was my grandmother's version of domestic. Frankly, my wife is just more valuable in the economy than I am, so here I sit. Our son is getting our family's less-valuable caretaker. Sorry, Bud.
(As a side note, and as mentioned, because our situation resembles a kind of gender-role reversal compared to my grandmothers, my lack of utility in the home is not a source of friction between my wife and me. If anything, my wife is probably just grateful that I stay home at all. However, I can imagine that this would play out differently in homes where the homemaker, or homefaker, is female. In the context of traditional gender roles, I'm living a lie—my beard gives me away—but that lie is based on an honest assessment of my economic value, or lack of value, compared to my wife in the marketplace. If I were female homefaker and just as worthless by Grandma's standards, I wonder if I would feel societal disdain for my worthlessness, or if I would take offense more easily when the subject came up. Or, I wonder if I, as a man, would take offense more easily if I hadn't had a career first, if this was my "only job." Seriously, I wonder.)
Circling back, I think the homemaking example is especially interesting because it's not just about technology, really. My grandfathers, both farmers, had more primitive farm equipment just like my grandmothers had more primitive homes. Grandpa had no GPS in his tractors, for example. (He grew up with horses, actually.) He worked harder in a literal, physical sense, than most farmers do today. He had a different set of skills and knowledge than today's farmers, too.
But there's a difference. Farmers today, with their sixteen-row headers and eighty-foot booms, farm a lot more acreage than my grandfathers did. And produce a lot more food per acre, too. Me? I don't raise more kids because I have push-button appliances. In fact, parents these days raise fewer kids than my grandmothers' generation did. Despite how much easier life is, we do the same amount of work, or less.
Again, they're laughing at us.
It turns out that family is not an economy of scale. As technology improves, we can ramp up production of corn or whatever widget outside the home, but we don't ramp up production of children inside it. Sure, we maybe create some efficiency by sending our kids to specialized daycare providers so we can do our own specialized jobs for more money. (Though, these days, that prospect becomes harder and harder, for several reasons.) Also, we might dump more resources, both money and time, into each of our children. Sure. But in general, we don't apply typical metrics of production and efficiency to raising our kids, and for good reason. My wife's and my decision for me to stay at home, for example, wasn't just about money, or efficiency of raising our son—it was about qualities, or quality, that has little to do with maximizing output.
And maybe there's a bigger point there. As our technology improves, or at least increases, we have to redefine what "work" is, as well as what "economic work" is. I can tell you firsthand that raising a kid is work. But I don't expect people outside my home to pay me for it, because it benefits nobody but people inside my home, people who share my genes. Biologically, that makes it a pretty self-serving kind of work, actually, which is why my family values it more than anyone else does. That's also why my family doesn't apply typical economic reasoning to that kind of "work." It's hard, and it's important, but we're producing a good or a service that is most valuable in our hearts and minds, rather than in the marketplace. It's selfless and selfish at the same time.
But parenting today still feels hard, yes? Sure, but it's a different kind of hard. When I worked in a nursing home, I saw old farm-women (and old-farm women) whose bodies were just worn out from decades of Work. I capitalize it here because it fits all the definitions of physics, mental toil, and utility within the household, even if it didn't fit the definition of work in the marketplace. These women earned my respect, I think, by sacrificing their bodies for family, for wearing down their joints mixing and beating and lifting and straining and scrubbing. As a result of that Work, they spent old age living in a dark, carpal tunnel of pain, with no light at the end. These were real costs, and they were steep.
My costs are mere opportunity costs, the costs associated with being "bored." That is, I used to have the stimulation of a career, but in its absence I have the double-whammy of so much free time as a result of my push-button life, and I spend all of that free time with only one child, not six.
Yeah, I need to get over that. (Hey, Jensen, stop complaining and go start a website, or something. Sheesh.)
Suzy Homemaker? Yeah, no. Call my grandmothers Suzy Homemaker, and snicker if you want, but their brand of homemaking was legitimate. It was hard, and actually hard. Those women, and women of that generation, earned and demanded some respect.
Me? Not even. Instead, call me Suzy Homefaker. I've earned it. Or haven't earned it, which is the same thing.
Now excuse me—I've gotta text my wife to see what she wants me to pick up for dinner.

Pico Iyer inspires Oprah to have "the biggest aha of my life"
Posted by: Kate Torgovnick May and Cynthia Betubiza

Oprah interviews Pico Iyer for Super Soul Sunday under the oak trees in her backyard. In this upcoming episode, Oprah shares an insight in Iyer's TED Book that led her to "the biggest aha of my life." Photo: Courtesy of OWN
On this weekend's episode of Super Soul Sunday, Oprah Winfrey asks TED Books author Pico Iyer to explain more precisely what he means by the word 'stillness.' It's not so much about meditation, he says. "It's sanity and it's balance, and it's a chance to put things in perspective," he says.
Like so many others, Iyer has noticed that constant motion — running from one meeting to another, keeping a packed social calendar, bouncing with the constant pings of emails — has become a norm. Underneath a pair of oak trees in Oprah's backyard, the two dig deeper into the ideas in Iyer's book, The Art of Stillness: Adventures in Going Nowhere, and its accompanying TED Talk. They parse how to find little moments of pause in an on-demand world.
"A big luxury for so many people today is a little blank space in the calendar where you collect yourself," Iyer says in a preview clip. "I've got time to take care of my body, why am I not taking care of my spirit?"
Tune in on Sunday, March 8, to OWN at 11am EST to hear this conversation in full and find out what Oprah calls the "biggest aha of my life" in the preview below. We're dying to know what it is too.

How do you find stillness? We asked TED speakers—as well as you—and the conclusions were very surprising
We all lead lives that move 1,000 miles per minute. In his TED Book, The Art of Stillness, Pico Iyer posits a bold idea: that in our chaotic time, the greatest luxury is actually the ability to go nowhere and do nothing. To Iyer, it's this time for quiet, inward, still reflection that snaps all […]

In today's thought-provoking talk, author Pico Iyer looks at the complex nature of the simple question: "Where are you from?"

Watch This Band Create Music on 'Ringing' Boulders
Pay a visit to Ringing Rocks state park in Upper Black Eddy, Pennsylvania during its busier months and you'll be greeted by bell-like sounds reverberating through the air. The noise is the result of the park's sonorous boulders, which can only be found in a handful of places on earth. When struck with a hammer, the rocks produce a clear metallic tone similar to that of a bell.
It's not exactly a conventional space to write music, and that's what attracted the band Square Peg Round Hole to the area. The instrumental percussionist trio recently went to the park's 7-acre boulder field to perform a song using nothing but hammers and the rocks in front of them. In their description of the video, the band writes, "When we discovered Ringing Rocks Park, we knew that it would be an inspiring place for us to write and play music. As percussionists, we are always searching for unorthodox sound sources, and are often finding new instruments in unexpected places." You can listen to the final result in the video above.
This isn't the first musical performance the ringing rocks have inspired. In 1890, Dr. J.J. Ott collected a number of stones from the site and played them for the Buckwampum historical society. (It was a "rock concert" in the truest sense of the term.)
Why exactly these sonorous or lithophonic rocks ring remains a bit of a mystery. A geologist named Richard Faas sampled a few of the stones back in 1965 and took them back to his lab to better understand their musical properties. He found that when the rocks were struck they produced tones lower than what the human ear can perceive, and the audible frequencies were created by the interactions of these different low tones. This means the boulders can only function as musical instruments when accompanied by other rocks of their kind.
Geologists still haven't agreed on the physical mechanism that gives the rocks their unique abilities, but some suspect it has to do with the freeze-thaw cycle that helped create them thousands of years ago. Other less scientifically-sound theories include radioactivity, abnormal magnetic fields, and supernatural sources.

NFL Week 15 Odds & Betting Picks: Take Browns Over Raiders, Pats Over Colts, On Saturday
Written By: Bob Christ

We've reached the point in the NFL season when Saturday games serve as an appetizer for Sunday's larger slate. In Week 15, the Cleveland Browns host the Las Vegas Raiders in a game already marred by Covid.
The line opened with Cleveland as a 6.5-point favorite over Las Vegas. Then, a Covid outbreak hit Cleveland and landed several Browns players and head coach Kevin Stefanski on the protocol list. Oddsmakers responded swiftly. The Raiders are now a 1-point favorite at most books including BetMGM.
The total also plummeted from an opening 43 to 38.5 at Caesars, the lowest for any game this season.
Las Vegas Raiders (6-7, 5-8 ATS) at Cleveland Browns (7-6, 5-8 ATS)
Time: 4:20 EST
Line: Raiders -1 (38.5)
The skinny: The Browns, who could be severely short-handed, will try to get past a reeling Raiders team that has beeen defeated in seven of its past 10 games after a 3-0 start.
Facts: Five Browns offensive regulars, in addition to head coach Kevin Stefanski, were placed on the reserve/COVID list this week. Included were QB Baker Mayfield, top WR Jarvis Landry and both guards. They need two negative tests before getting cleared to play.
In Stefanski's place, if needed, would be special teams boss Mike Priefer for the third time the past two seasons. He's 1-1.
Last Sunday, the Browns beat Baltimore 24-22 and they can grab a share of first place in the division with a win here and a Ravens loss to Green Bay on Sunday.
The logo-stomping Raiders, meanwhile, were 48-9 losers in Kansas City last week, dropping them to 12th in the AFC playoff pecking order. Their minus-5 turnover differential in that defeat tied for the worst in any game this season.
They hit the road for another long trip this week. Vegas' last journey East, in Week 9 after its bye, resulted in a 23-16 loss to the Giants as a 3-point favorite.
Analysis: Mayfield, who has played through a host of injuries this season, including a torn labrum, said he hasn't felt this good since Week 2. But if he can't go, Case Keenum gets the call. In his lone start this season, he led the Browns to a 17-14 win over Denver. In that game, with top RBs Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt also out, Cleveland totaled 376 offensive yards, its highest total in the past eight games.
Chubb is good to go this week, so the running game should be in good hands even if backups are needed along the line. The Browns defense should do enough to fluster QB Derek Carr and Vegas' stagnant running game.

The Colts were a 1.5-point favorite against the Patriots to open, but Indy is now a 2.5-point choice across the board.
New England Patriots (9-4, 9-4 ATS) at Indianapolis Colts (7-6, 8-5 ATS)
Time: 8:20 p.m. EST
Line: Colts -2.5 (46)
The skinny: In a battle between two teams off a bye, New England will be aiming to retain its spot atop the AFC playoff standings against an Indianapolis team that has rallied from a 1-4 start to a sixth seed.
Facts: New England is on a seven-game winning streak (7-0 ATS, too), the longest in the league, with two of the victories as a road underdog.
Indianapolis averaged only 21.6 points in its dismal first five games, but since has a norm of 32.9 thanks in large part to RB Jonathan Taylor, the league's leading ground gainer by a runaway.
The Patriots have won eight in a row vs. the Colts dating to 2010 while averaging more than 40 points a game.
New England might be without first-team RB Damien Harris (questionable, hamstring). But he missed facing Cleveland earlier this season, and NE still gained 184 ground yards.
This will be the sixth game Indy QB Carson Wentz has faced a team that has a defensive passer rating in the top 10. NE's is ranked second. In those five games, he's had a norm of 5.9 yards a throw. For a whole season, that number would have him tied for 31st in the league.
Analysis: Patriots rookie QB Mac Jones, who has the third-best completion percentage in the league (70.3), will be facing a Colts pass defense that might be the team's weakest link. Indy has allowed the second most TD throws this season at 26 (tied with Atlanta).
As for Wentz and that Colts offense, Patriots coach Bill Belichick surely will find a way to at least slow Taylor and make Wentz have to navigate against LB Matthew Judon, tied for fifth in the league with 12.5 sacks, and CB J.C. Jackson, who has seven INTs, second most on the chart.
Forget about much of a home-field edge for Indy, too. The Pats are 6-0 on the road this season and 3-0 indoors. Indy is 3-4 in its own building.

Triton partners with The Heart of England Forest to create lasting legacy
Date: 9 June, 2021
Triton Showers has underlined its commitment to sustainability by partnering with environmental charity The Heart of England Forest.
The midlands-based organisation is dedicated to creating and conserving a 30,000-acre forest, aiming to plant 13 million native broadleaf trees in order to achieve this goal. It forms part of a wider mission to reverse centuries of woodland decline, which has led to the UK having one of the lowest percentages of tree coverage in Europe (at only 13%).
As a 'Woodland Wonder' partner in 2021, Triton is supporting The Heart of England Forest to plant over 330 new trees, covering more than half an acre. Alongside establishing diverse habitats for wildlife to flourish, the trees will also sequester more than 100 TCO2 upon maturity. Forests have a vital role to play in carbon capture and air purification, which makes it a critical tool in improving atmospheric conditions.
David Tutton, Managing Director at Triton Showers, comments: "Sustainability is central to what we do as a company, whether that's informing product R&D or providing an energy and water savings calculator to address domestic wastage. As a business, we have halved our own carbon footprint since 2014, and have committed to achieving carbon net-zero by 2025.
"Further to this, we have been a zero to landfill company since 2015, with all of our waste sorted and sent for recycling at organisations that specialise in certain materials. We are committed to reducing our impact on the environment across our business operations, so when we saw the fantastic work being done by The Heart of England Forest, we wanted to offer our support in working towards their important ambition."
Karen Woodgate, Partnerships Director at The Heart of England Forest comments: "It has never been more important to invest in our natural environment and help combat climate change. Tree planting on this scale makes a significant positive environmental impact, creating a huge carbon sink and helping to mitigate climate change.
"As a charity we rely on the support of businesses and individuals who share our ethos, which is why we're thrilled to have Triton on board as a partner. Their donation will have a tangible impact on the success of our project, ultimately contributing to a greener future in the UK."

OFF-Biennale Budapest is a series of exhibitions and art events in and beyond the city of Budapest. Its concept is different from traditional biennials as we know them. Not affiliated with any institution, it is a voluntary collaborative initiative of artists, groups of artists, curators, art managers, gallerists and collectors. OFF-Biennale Budapest is a civil initiative, whose aim is to bring a segment of culture, contemporary art, closer to the public at large.
OFF proclaims the importance of independent thinking and action, breaking away from clichés and habitual routines. It is meant to demonstrate that contemporary art can foster and catalyse this kind of activity – in other words, that contemporary art is much more than mere luxury and a source of aesthetic pleasure.
OFF-Biennale Budapest is based on self-organisation and collaboration in a network. It is a kind of umbrella organisation: active and authentic players on Hungary's contemporary art scene organise their own programmes to be presented by OFF as a series of events, for which OFF provides coordinated communication.
The funds come from foundations, and private and non-governmental entities. Neither OFF nor the participating programmes have applied for government funding, and will not use government-run locations. All curators commit themselves to the OFF-Biennale Budapest without being paid for it. Their passion comes from the profound belief in the case and in the common mission they can achieve only together.
OFF-Biennale Budapest will showcase a wide range of contemporary works and projects, from painting to photography; sculpture to installation; experimental film to youtube video; edition-of-one graphic works to multiple-copy fanzine; music performance to sound installation; traditional exhibition to public space action; performance to political karaoke.
Besides renowned actors of the global contemporary art scene, legendary neo-avant- garde artists of the 1960s and 1970s, and Hungarian artists frequently shown in major international exhibitions, OFF-Biennale Budapest will also present works by the youngest generation of artists.
OFF will provide an opportunity for the public to become more familiar with contemporary art through lectures, presentations and workshops, as well as various educational programmes related to the projects, and subjective guided tours across the venues. The OFF programmes will serve as a kind of immersion course for the public to encounter the sensitive, creative and often highly critical thinking and attitudes that characterise contemporary art.
OFF-Biennale Budapest programmes will be presented across Budapest, in other Hungarian cities and abroad at a wide variety of venues: not only in art galleries but also in artists' studios, vacant buildings, private apartments, bars, cafés and public spaces. OFF's pop-up centre in Henszlmann Imre Street 9, offers a selection of programmes, as well as a chance to meet the organisers and the artists during the biennial. OFF's press office is also located there.
'OFF' stands for similar values and qualities as in the case of Off-Broadway. It is not 'anti-', i,e. it is not aimed against anyone or anything. It simply diverts from the mainstream, from solidified routines, and ventures to find its own path, establishing its own form of operation.
It finds its own drivers, resources and locations. It may be smaller, more spontaneous and have a tighter budget, but it makes no compromises in quality, and is less constrained by unchallengeable protocols. In other words, going off does not mean turning off. Quite the contrary: it means the start of something different.
Instead of fast-changing prepositions – "post", "anti", "neo", "trans", and "sub" – that suggest an implacable movement forward, against and beyond, and try desperately to be "in", I propose to go "off": "Off" as in "off quilter", "off Broadway, "off the path," or "way off", "off-brand", "off the wall", and occasionally, "off-color." – wrote Svetlana Boym, whose Off-Modern theory served as inspiration for naming the project.

California plans to mandate COVID-19 vaccine for school attendance by next fall
Ken Ogata and Christie Hong
California plans to require the COVID-19 vaccine for all eligible K-12 students once the FDA gives formal approval, becoming the first state to implement a vaccine requirement for all children in public and private schools.
Governor Gavin Newsom announced Friday that the COVID-19 vaccine would be added to the list of immunizations required for school attendance, joining other required immunizations, such as the measles and polio vaccines. Medical and religious exemptions will be allowed.
Newsom said he plans for the mandate to come into effect in July 2022 as Pfizer and BioNTech only recently submitted data to the FDA from trials with children ages 5-11.
California has already ordered healthcare workers, state employees, and educators to be fully vaccinated or tested regularly. Other school districts in the state, like Los Angeles Unified and San Diego Unified, have also moved to require vaccines for all students.
Earlier this month, PAUSD Superintendent Don Austin told The Campanile that the district would not require a COVID-19 vaccination without a state-wide mandate. However, following Friday's announcement, Austin said he approved of the state government's leadership but shared his concerns over the proposed timeline of the plan.
"I'm glad the state took some ownership of something that was squarely in their purview to provide that leadership," Austin said. "I just wish the timing was better thought out. I understand those families who are concerned about a mandate for a vaccine that is not FDA approved yet."
Austin said that the mandate could also affect staff working in PAUSD.
"We do have employees that are either unvaccinated or declined to state," Austin said. "That could provide staffing issues midyear that we did not have four hours ago."

Combine the soy sauce, ginger, brown sugar, and orange zest in a zip-top plastic bag. Add the fish and marinate 20 minutes (or longer in refrigerator). Remove the fish; reserve marinade.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fish and cook 3 minutes, without turning. Reduce heat to medium, turn the fish, and cover. Cook 3 minutes or until just cooked through. Transfer to a plate, cover with foil, and keep warm.
Return the skillet to the heat. To make glaze, pour the marinade into the skillet and bring to a boil. Simmer 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl and cover with foil. Wipe out skillet with a paper towel.
Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add half the basil, salt, pepper, garlic, spinach, and 3 tablespoons water. Cover and cook 2 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted. Transfer to a bowl and repeat with remaining basil, salt, pepper, garlic, spinach, and water. Combine with other spinach and toss with sesame oil.
Divide the greens among 4 plates. Top with the salmon, drizzle with glaze, and serve.


The July 2018 Bureau of Labor Statistics report on U.S. Import and Export Prices indicated that export prices for agricultural prices fell 5.3%.
The price decrease is precisely what economic theory indicates as a result of tariffs on U.S. exports. China, Canada, Mexico, the European Union, among other nations instituted numerous retaliatory tariffs against the United States.
The drastic drop in agricultural export prices is an important signal that the ramifications of the ongoing trade dispute are serious, especially in the face of increased 2018 production reported by the USDA.
On August 14, 2018, the Bureau of Labor Statistics published its July 2018 report of U.S. Import and Export Prices. The report provided some drastic insights about the emerging tangible consequences of the ongoing trade disputes with which the United States is currently involved. As the figure below shows, agricultural export prices declined by 5.3% in July 2018, while export prices for all other goods did not change.
While undoubtedly this price drop is adding to the anxiety of the U.S. production agriculture sector, it represents an outcome that most economists have warned about since the White House has indicated its international trade strategies last year. Here is a brief overview of why these warning signals have been ringing.
The figure below shows a basic characterization between the U.S. market for goods (let's assume it's the agricultural industry) and the global market for trade. Without trade restrictions, the quantity of goods traded and the price that U.S. producers receive is determined by the intersection of the supply and demand for U.S. exported products in the trade market. At this intersection, the price received by U.S. producers is higher than the price they would receive if they were to sell all of their products exclusively to U.S. consumers (which occurs at the intersection of the supply and demand curves in the U.S. market).
However, what happens during a trade dispute? Let's assume that the importers of U.S. agricultural products (e.g., China) imposes a retaliatory tariff, which would essentially raise the prices that those importers must pay for U.S. products. This price increase for importers (indicated in red on the graph above) would have two consequences (both shown in red): (1) it would decrease the quantity of U.S. products demanded and (2) it would lower the prices received by U.S. exporters. A double-whammy for the U.S. agricultural industry.
An additional concern in the time of decreasing prices and quantities demanded and uncertainty about short- and long-term implications of the trade dispute is the news in the latest (August 10, 2018) USDA World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report that both corn and soybeans are projected to have higher production and higher inventory stocks. The report also notes that wheat production is likely to not be as poor as projected earlier in the year. These factors have put additional downward pressures on commodity prices.
Dr. Anton Bekkerman is an associate professor in the Department of Agricultural Economics and Economics at Montana State University, joining the faculty in 2009 after completing his PhD at North Carolina State University. Bekkerman's primary areas of research are grain marketing, basis and price forecast modeling, understanding how grain prices are affected by changes in supply chain infrastructures and quality demands, and analyzing the economic trade-offs of adopting alternative dryland cropping systems in Montana. One of his current projects is an investigation of how new grain loading technologies are affecting prices that Montana farmers receive for their wheat. Bekkerman is also examining the economic impacts that Montana's rapidly expanding dry pulse industry will have on the state's crop industry. Although Bekkerman grew up on the east coast, he has recently made a small step toward production agricultural after acquiring three backyard chickens.

Russia inaugurates its second nuclear-powered submarine cruiser
Viktor Litovkin
The Alexander Nevsky is the first series-produced, 955 Borey Class, missile-strategic, submarine cruiser. Source: ITAR-TASS
St. Andrew's flag was hoisted on the Alexander Nevsky, Russia's second nuclear-powered, Borey Class missile-strategic submarine cruiser.
On December 23, the Russian Navy received a New Year's gift when the Severodvinsk Engineering Plant held a solemn ceremony, hoisting the St. Andrew's flag on the Alexander Nevsky, the first series-produced (and second manufactured), 955 Borey Class, missile-strategic, submarine cruiser with 16 Bulava strategic missiles onboard.
Previously, it had been planned to deliver the Alexander Nevsky to the Navy on December 21, but because of undisclosed reasons, the procedure was postponed for two days.
Rumors claimed this had been done in order to avoid associations with Joseph Stalin's birthday – which is actually on December 21.
The ceremony of admitting the new cruiser into the Russian Navy was attended by the Minister of Defense and General of the Army Sergey Shoygu, Navy Commander-in-Chief Admiral Viktor Chirkov, and chairman of the government committee for commissioning this nuclear-powered cruiser, Rear-Admiral Igor Fedorov, who signed for the submarine together with Mikhail Budnichenko, general director of the plant.
The ship, which was made at the Sevmash Plant in 2004, is now part of the Pacific Fleet of Russia and will be on active service at the Volyuchinsk Naval Base in the Kamchatka Peninsula.
In anticipation of its arrival, dormitories for the vessel's crew and the berth with all necessary pipeline connections have been built at the base.
"State testing of the first series-produced Project 955 nuclear submarine cruiser, the Alexander Nevsky, has been completed," Shoygu reported to President Vladimir Putin from a video-conferencing room of the vessel. "During the testing, all combat characteristics of the project have been confirmed."
The first Borey Class missile submarine, the Yury Dolgoruky was admitted to the Northern Fleet and is on active duty at the Gadzhiyevo Naval Base.
Putin noted that the admission of Alexander Nevsky into the Russian Navy is an important day not only for the Armed Forces, but for the entire country as well.
Putin emphasized that the Alexander Nevsky is a brand new, modern nuclear-powered missile submarine, and that Borey Class vessels like this should become the main component of the naval element of Russia's nuclear triad.
"As we know, by 2020, the Navy should receive eight Borey and Borey A Class missile submarines. Thus we will have completely upgraded the naval element of the Russian nuclear forces." He added that besides the Borey submarines, the Navy should receive eight Yasen Class all-purpose nuclear submarines by 2020.

"The Severodvinsk Plant has almost completed construction of the first submarine of this series – the Severodvinsk," Mr. Putin added.
The President reminded people that the Yury Dolgoruky, the first Borey Class submarine, had been commissioned in January 2013.
Construction of the second series-produced submarine of this type, the Vladimir Monomakh, should be completed soon.
"Next year, it shall assume combat duty as well," announced the Russian Supreme Commander-in-Chief.

A broad sell-off of technology stocks pushed all three major U.S. stock indexes lower, with the Nasdaq Composite set to post its third consecutive loss of more than 1 percent for the first time since August 2015.
The technology index <.SPLRCT> tumbled 1.6 percent as disappointing results stoked fears about future growth for the sector that has led the equity market to record highs.
Shares of Facebook Inc <FB.O> and Netflix Inc <NFLX.O> were down 3.6 percent and 4.9 percent, respectively, leading the so-called FAANG stocks lower. Other FAANG stocks include Apple Inc <AAPL.O>, Amazon.com <AMZN.O>, and Google parent Alphabet Inc <GOOGL.O>.
"There's a lot of money and speculation piled into the FAANG stocks and now that money is coming out," said Wayne Kaufman, chief market analyst at Phoenix Financial Services in New York. "It's money coming out of a crowded trade, and people are concerned about the midterm election news cycle and about tariffs to some degree."
The Dow Jones Industrial Average <.DJI> fell 80.16 points, or 0.31 percent, to 25,370.9, the S&P 500 <.SPX> lost 11.69 points, or 0.41 percent, to 2,807.13 and the Nasdaq Composite <.IXIC> dropped 94.13 points, or 1.22 percent, to 7,643.29.
Shares of CBS Corp <CBS.N> continued to slide, dropping 5.3 percent. The media company's board was set to meet on Monday to discuss personal misconduct allegations against CEO Leslie Moonves.
Tyson Foods Inc <TSN.N> dropped 7.2 percent after the company cut its full-year profit forecast, citing potential tariffs.
The warning also weighed on shares of Hormel Foods Corp <HRL.N>, Sanderson Farms Inc <SAFM.O> and Pilgrim's Pride Corp <PPC.O>, each falling between 1 and 2.6 percent.
Energy stocks were among the gainers, up 0.4 percent as oil prices <LCOc1> rose on potential supply disruptions.
The financial sector <.SPSY> advanced 0.4 percent ahead of this week's meeting of the U.S. Federal Reserve, with JP Morgan Chase & Co <JPM.N>, Bank of America Corp <BAC.N> and Citigroup Inc <C.N> all up 1 percent or more.
Industrial bellwether Caterpillar Inc <CAT.N> raised its full-year profit outlook after strong global demand helped the company beat second-quarter expectations. Caterpillar's shares were up 0.2 percent, paring earlier gains.
AT&T Inc <T.N> was up 3.1 percent after Bank of America upgraded the wireless carrier to "buy."
Advancing issues outnumbered declining ones on the NYSE by a 1.07-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.30-to-1 ratio favoured decliners.
The S&P 500 posted 14 new 52-week highs and 2 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 25 new highs and 84 new lows.

The Privacy Advisor | How's Privacy Shield doing? Well, no one's complaining Related reading: Web Conference: Getting Privacy Shield Certified
How's Privacy Shield doing? Well, no one's complaining
schedule Mar 21, 2017
Sam Pfeifle	Nonmember Contributor
While the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield program has been the subject of much consternation, be it due to Trump administration executive orders or advocate-group lawsuits, the program continues to churn forward eight months after the U.S. Department of Commerce began taking applications on Aug. 1, 2016 and just a few months out from its first annual review.
Already, reported U.S. Commerce Department Shield program administrator Caitlin Fennessy at the recent IAPP Data Protection Intensive in London, 1,800 companies have self-certified through the Shield program, with another 300 applications in the process. Those 2,100 companies would represent roughly half of the companies that were participating in the Safe Harbor program at the end of its 10-year run.
Who are these companies? Fennessy reported a heavy number of small-to-medium-sized enterprises, with some 70 percent reporting 500 or fewer employees. However, as these companies are heavily slanted toward the technology and consulting sectors, they're already reporting significant revenue: About 45 percent are over $25 million annually, with 15 percent above $500 million.
Perhaps most significantly, however, data subjects appear to be happy with the program as it seeks to provide assurances about the protection of their data when it leaves the European Union.
While the complaints process is now in place, and Commerce reports progress in creating the Arbitral Panel that would mediate complaints as a last-resort option, no one as yet appears to have lodged a complaint that an organization could not resolve on its own.
Geraldine Dersley, head of legal profession at the U.K.'s Information Commissioner's Office, reported "no valid complaints" when asked if her office had received any.
Geraldine Dersley, head of legal profession at the U.K.'s Information Commissioner's Office, reported "no valid complaints" when asked if her office had received any. And, as ICO liaison to the Article 29 Working Party's international data transfers working group, she reported she's aware of "less than a handful" of complaints, and nothing that rose to significance, EU-wide.
Hugh Stevenson, deputy director at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's Office of International Affairs, similarly reported that there had been no referrals to his office from any EU data protection authority.
However, the point was made, complaints arriving at the desks of regulators or Commerce would indicate that a company was unable to address the complaint themselves to a data subject's satisfaction.
"I was a member of the Safe Harbor [complaints handling] panel," said Dersley, "and there were only a limited number of complaints there. … The Americans take customer service much more seriously than EU firms, and they deal with it in that context. They deal with it as a business complaint; it doesn't get flagged as a data protection complaint, and the customer might not seek further redress."
In addition, one way they might seek further redress is through independent recourse mechanisms, known as IRMs. However, Frances Henderson, VP and national director for privacy initiatives at the Council of Better Business Bureaus, which serves as an IRM, said they haven't yet seen Privacy Shield complaints either.
"Right now, we haven't received any relevant complaints about Privacy Shield," she said. "Usually, they're about companies that are not in the Privacy Shield program." In fact, she noted, many contacts seemed to wish there were a program like Privacy Shield in the United States to which they could hold companies accountable.
Going by her experience with Safe Harbor, however, where BBB did receive and process many complaints, "organizations do have an interest in resolving these complaints as quickly as possible."
So, why no Shield complaints? "That's probably simply a factor of it being a very new program," Henderson said.
One thing to watch, noted Fennessy, is that the Privacy Shield program includes something Safe Harbor did not: a detailed annual reporting requirement for IRMs. "So," she said, "when we get that review, we'll have public reports from the various IRMs about the complaints they've seen, in anonymized form, and how they've been handled. And that will be very useful as we go into this review process and help us to build and improve the system."

How biotech startups can secure funding, according to investors
January 17, 2022 -- What are strategies that emerging biotech companies can use to attract investors and secure funding that supports the development of their programs and technology? A panel of investors and finance professionals discussed the challenges and opportunities during the virtual Biotech Showcase 2022 event in a session titled "Early Seed Financing."
How can startups de-risk a business to appeal to investors?
There are several strategies and approaches to de-risking a biotech startup's business, but they vary depending on the technology and where the company is in the development timeline. For instance, having a lead candidate removes some of the risk for investors, while having a development candidate demarks a significant value inflection point, according to Marian Nakada, PhD, vice president of venture investments at Johnson & Johnson Innovation.
Nakada went on to explain that a business can be further de-risked if a development candidate is an investigational new drug that is ready (including it has certain chemistry, manufacturing, and controls in place and good laboratory practices evaluation) and that it has achieved certain scientific milestones, like in vivo efficacy in animal models or a demonstration of a candidate's mechanism of action.
On the other hand, Andrew Strong, a partner at Hogan Lovells, explained that in the case of less than perfect data (i.e., off-target effects or cross-reactivity), startups should be prepared to pivot toward a predetermined backup plan. Strong noted that the earlier a company identifies its backup plan, the better it fares in terms of attracting investors.
The panel also discussed that there is a certain balance that must be achieved between putting "all your eggs in one basket" with a single lead asset and spreading development and capital too thin with too many programs.
There is a significant cost associated with the time it takes to develop a product, and investing too much time in a candidate that could fail is potentially harmful to the success of an emerging business. For instance, if a company finds a safety signal for an asset in a rare disease population, there is little chance of overcoming the regulatory hurdles, because there are not enough patients. This is something that startups should carefully think through, Nakada suggested. Alternatively, if a startup pursues too many programs, there is a risk that all of them may never hit required investment inflection points, which are required milestones for investor agreements.
For platform technology startups that can churn out a number of candidates, de-risking with a single "well-run experiment, with the right compound and the right indication" should raise the tide and bring additional value, said Michael Davitian, vice president at Health Advances. This approach will also inform the company on how to apply the technology to a broader group of assets and indications.
Should startups associate with accelerators and incubators?
The panelists generally agreed that while it's not required to be successful, it is often beneficial for startups to participate in accelerator and incubator programs. Beyond capital, these programs usually provide an opportunity to join the community and learn from other experienced people, including mentors and alumni companies.
Opportunities vary, but accelerator and incubator programs can provide nondilutive investments, no-strings-attached development arrangements, and even co-creation collaborations, where large pharma companies help startups with the first steps in creating product value. This is a model that Novo Nordisk has taken in some cases, and it is an "immensely interesting model," according to Tomas Landh, PhD, vice president of innovation sourcing and senior principal scientist, search and evaluation, at Novo Nordisk.
The investment community is interested in co-investing and mutually growing incubators, said Jim Anthony, executive vice president and global head at Parexel Biotech, because these actions increase the value of biotechs seeking further investment partners, and they improve the overall success of startups in the investor search.
Dilution management -- preparing for an exit
For most biotech startup companies, dilution is inevitable. The panel discussed strategies on how founders can let people in and how they can become comfortable with dilution in a prudent and elegant manner, as moderator Ben Johnson, head of early stage life science at Silicon Valley Bank, said.
Strong noted that dilution is always a topic of discussion among investors and founders. Founders should be prepared for dilution and loss of control by thinking about if the technology is ready to advance. They should consider how much money is required to get to a nice return on value inflection points and when they will be ready to let someone else run the business.
There are certain protections that founders can leverage, such as license agreements, management carveouts, and nondilutive funding, but they have to be strategic in their investment approach. For instance, a company's first management team will likely get options and incentives for performance when dilution occurs, whereas scientific founders need to stay involved in the business (i.e., via a scientific advisory board) to get options.
The panel concluded with a few lightning rounds of questions, where panelists were asked to give brief comments on relevant topics. The first question posed concerned the characteristics panelists look for in a first-time CEO. Panelists responded that they look for passion, humility, flexibility, enthusiasm, and adaptability, to name a few traits.
The second question posed was what is a deal killer? Panelists cited lack of credibility, disappointing data, science without a clear end goal, over-optimistic development timelines, and inflexibility.

Q: Is it possible to specify options for preventing incomplete words in Rmarkdown? I'm working with Rmarkdown and my output is a pdf document. When reading the text, I noticed that so many words are printed incomplete such as "ar- rojan" and "progra- mación" (which should be "arrojan" and "programación"):
   Los operadores <, >, <=, >=, == y != se denominan "lógicos" o "booleanos" porque nos ar-
   rojan como resultado TRUE si se cumple la condición o comparación o FALSE en caso contrario.

   Sin embargo, R, al igual que la mayoría de los lenguajes de progra-
   mación distingue entre mayúsculas y minúsculas ("case sensitive"),

Based on my little experience with Rmarkdown, I guess in the YAML section I must include some option to prevent for incomplete words but I can't find any documentation related with my needs. This is my YAML:
---
title: "--"
author: ""
date: "--"

Many positive changes to our Membership have already taken place for us over the last 18 months and we have seen a huge increase in demand for our engagement services, especially from those Members who have low incomes or are unfunded and pay no Membership fees.
To help continue provision of free services to these Members we are introducing Membership Extra.
We have just added some new information about our Members, the work we do and what impact it is having. For instance, did you know that 61% of our Members provide their vital services with less than £10,000 income per annum? These Members are the ones who our Engagement Team spend most of their time supporting and the very members who need Consortium the most!
So what does this mean? That some of Members, those who make up the 39% with an income of above £10,000 will be invited to pay double their Membership fee.
By paying double the standard Membership fee Members will be directly supporting those smaller grassroots LGBT organisations by ensuring we can continue to deliver support to them for free.
We recognise and understand that our Members unrestricted funds are tight, but we want to look towards our own sector to see how we can collaborate to support small, new and emerging LGBT enterprises to thrive and survive.
This is our Members chance to invest in the sector – to ensure that small groups that offer vital services on very little can continue to access support from our Engagement Team.

I just read the news that Kimbo will be a fighter on the 10th season of the reality show "The Ultimate Fighter". I find this news very interesting.
I haven't watched the show for several years, mostly because I find it hard to watch fighters that are not very skilled (not all of them but many) get on the show and often dominate much of the airtime because of their craziness and unpredictable behaviour. I'd rather spend my time renting the pay per views and watching the fight nights on spike where the fighters are usually more established.
With Kimbo set to take part in the 10th season of the show, I may check it out again. I'm guessing he's going to be part of some interesting situations during his stay at the TUF house.
I have been watching Kimbo for years. After his last fight I would like to see how he comes back. I will be watching for sure.
In all of his interviews he seems like a nice, laid back guy. It will be nice for fighters to get some air time on the show that aren't drama queens.


A busy Leicester road junction will see "solid queues of traffic 200 metres long" as a result of a major new development, residents have warned.
People living in Clarendon Park are concerned about the potential impact of a planned student flats complex at Freemen's Common.
The University of Leicester's proposals for a new student village at the site, near where Welford Road meets Putney Road and Victoria Park Road, were approved last night.
But it has emerged that plans now include closing off the right turn from Welford Road into Putney Road to better manage the traffic.
Ian Brown, from the Friends of Clarendon Park community group, told Leicester City Council's planning committee the scheme would put extra traffic on a junction which is already operating above capacity.
Mr Brown said he had looked at the city council's own traffic figures.
He added that the data showed delays in outbound traffic on Welford Road would be some 2.5 times what they are now.
"This major junction will become overloaded," he said.
Mr Brown added that removing the right turn would "just displace congestion elsewhere".
Castle ward councillor Patrick Kitterick agreed with the residents' concerns.
"Basically it is getting a quart into a pint pot," he said.
Coun Kitterick warned drivers would start to rat-run through residential streets to try to jump the delays.
He said there would be four-minute hold-ups by the Donkey pub on Welford Road.
The city council intends open Putney Road to through traffic in a £5 million scheme to connect Aylestone Road to Welford Road.
Coun Kitterick added: "This junction is overloaded and this will overload it even more.
"If we get it wrong many people will be sat for many hours in many queues for many years to come.
Planning committee member councillor Elly Cutkelvin said she feared "a meltdown scenario" for traffic in the area with the new student village and the Putney Road scheme.
City transport director Stuart Maxwell said he accepted there could be additional delays in the evening peak period.
But he argued traffic at the junction may run more smoothly in the morning rush hour.
Director of planning Grant Butterworth said physical measures could be put in place to prevent right turns into Putney Road.
But he added that it would have a "negligible impact" on traffic.


Location:Brooklyn, New York 11210- U. S. A.
I have the video capture device that has the composite red, yellow and white rca plugs with a usd plug at the other end.
As this is generally used for a vhs transfer to a computer to make a dvd later on, can it be used to also connect a cable tv box/direct tv box with these rca composite connections to a computer so that I can save the television program that I would normally watch?
I think but aren't sure that the video capture device wire piece is suppose to be able to be used with just about any composite rca output situation whether its a vhs, beta, cable direct tv output and so on?
Kindly reply to let me know more about this.
For your sanity and safety, I deleted the phone and e-mail information.
There are 2 VHS 2 DVD programs. Please let us know which one you have and then your post will be moved to the correct forum.
But to answer your question, Yes any RCA input is OK.

Reggie Cobb Alfred Morris Jersey , a second-round draft pick in 1990 who would go on to become a scout, has died. He was 50."We are devastated by the sudden loss of a tremendous teammate and loyal friend, Reggie Cobb," 49ers G.M. John Lynch said in a statement released by the team. "Reggie was an enthusiastic and passionate person who had a special ability to brighten up a room with his personality and infectious smile. For 10 years, the 49ers were better because of Reggie and these unique qualities that he possessed. He was a top-notch scout and an exemplary man whose years of service to this organization and the National Football League will not be forgotten. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends in this time of mourning."Cobb spent four years with the Buccaneers, one with the Packers, one with the Jaguars Mike Person Jersey , and one with the Jets. In 1992, Cobb had a career-high 1,171 rushing yards with Tampa Bay.Cobb became a scout in 2001, working for Washington and the Buccaneers before joining the 49ers in 2009.We extend our condolences to Cobb's family, friends, colleagues, and teammates.49ers secondary has two question marks heading into Week 2 vs. Chiefs The San Francisco 49ers travel to face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 3 Tom Rathman Jersey , and their secondary has question marks at precisely the wrong time. Jaquiski Tartt is day-to-day after suffering a shoulder stinger on Sunday, and head coach Kyle Shanahan would not yet commit to who would start at cornerback opposite Richard Sherman.The team will know more about Tartt later this week, but Shanahan said on Monday that if he can't go, Jimmie Ward could end up as an option next to Adrian Colbert. Jimmie Ward is a backup at all of the defensive back positions. Antone Exum came on in place of Tartt for the final few snaps, but Ward was not available because he had replaced Ahkello Witherspoon in the fourth quarter against the Lions. With Witherspoon's status for Sunday up in the air, it seems a decent possibility that Ward would start in his place, and if Tartt cannot play Nick Mullens Jersey White , Exum would start at strong safety. There is one particularly good option on the open market, but the team seems fine sticking with what they've got.With questions at strong safety and cornerback, the 49ers have to prepare for the Chiefs' prolific passing attack. Patrick Mahomes is off to one of the best two-game starts in NFL history, and he's benefiting from Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce off to strong starts. The Chiefs passing attack could not be clicking at a higher rate right now, and the 49ers have a whole lot of work to do.

Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, To Publish First Historical Romance Novel
written by admin January 13, 2021
LONDON (AP) — Sarah, the Duchess of York, has landed a book deal for her debut novel for adults, a historical romance fictionalizing the life and loves of her great-great-great aunt.
In a promotional video posted Wednesday on her Twitter account, the former Sarah Ferguson said the novel, titled "Her Heart for a Compass," is set in the Victorian era and is "about daring to follow your heart against the odds."
The duchess wore a Victorian-style outfit in the video and described her heroine as strong, rebellious and courageous.
I'm delighted to announce my first historical romance novel, #HerHeartForACompass, published in August by @MillsandBoon (UK) and @WmMorrowBooks (US)!
Set in the Victorian era, the book is about daring to follow your heart against the odds. Pre-order UK: https://t.co/Lv1pyfM3kP pic.twitter.com/cqz3lLT2sa
— Sarah Ferguson (@SarahTheDuchess) January 13, 2021
Publisher Mills & Boon, a romance imprint of British publisher Harlequin UK, said the story is based on Sarah's ancestor, Lady Margaret Montagu Douglas Scott, who fled an arranged marriage and "the confines of polite society."
The duchess said she also drew on "many parallels from my life" for the love story.
Sarah was married to Prince Andrew, Queen Elizabeth's third child, but the couple divorced in the 1990s. She has previously published her memoirs and authored a number of children's books.
Her novel, which was written with author Marguerite Kaye, is set to be published in August.
