Q: How to move Wiki pages between sites in SharePoint 2013? we have created a new site and we want to move our team's wiki to the new site.
is there a nice and easy way to do it? we've tried the tree view with drag and drop but it won't work.
Thank you.

A: Ok so after a number of dead ends, I found a quick and easy solution:
Navigate to the physical folder location for your Sharepoint docs.
[Do this by selecting documents in the menu list, select the library tab and then open with explorer]
Once there navigate to the folder containing your wiki site/s.
They will have a .aspx extension usually
You can then move them to the folder you like.

*

*Note: The site needs to be checked in or the move process will moan

A: One of the options could be to save a Wiki site as a site template. Then deploy it in a site collection and to create new sites from it. But unfortunately since Wiki site is Publishing based site, it is not supported to Save Site as Template.
But there is another option - moving sites via Site Content and Structure:

You can move individual list items or entire subsites to another
  subsite within the site collection. A subsite can be moved to be
  directly under the top level in the site collection hierarchy or under
  another subsite in the site collection hierarchy. When you move a
  subsite, all of the content in the subsite is moved

Steps:

*

*Go to Site Settings, then Content and structure (under Site
Administration)

*Select site you would like to move and Move action in the context menu
as shown below on picture

*In the Move dialog select a destination (parent site) and
then click OK  as shown below on picture

That's it.

A: you can try opening both sites/libraries in explorer view, side by side, and copy paste them from one to the other
you can also try to save a template out of the wiki including content and then import it


Discussion in 'Hi-Fi Stereo Systems & Separates' started by pete s, Feb 27, 2013.
I'm selling some hi-fi kit, so it's heavy and valuable. I've tried Parcel2go, etc, and most basic services offer limited insurance and when the insurance value is increased the price of delivery goes through the roof. We're talking around £100 to deliver to 12kg boxes with a combined value of £1.3k.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a reliable, trustworthy courier used to handing such deliveries and able to provide appropriate insurance?
Interparcel would do it for around £27 per box using their "own brand" Economy Service, which is actually UPS. This would cover each box up to £750 assuming it's not valve based, which could invalidate compensation for damage due to the glass content. IIRC, they have a limit of £1,000 per consignment which is why you'd have to send it a two separate ones, but then I don't think you'd get any discount with that method for sending as one consignment anyway.
Their own brand service is actually UPS & I've found it consistently pretty good as couriers go. Certainly a whole lot better than the likes of Yodel or City Link.
I would second the Interparcel/UPS option, that's who I always use. For me the Economy service so far has always been delivered next day without exception so no need to use the more expensive next day service.
As mentioned above avoid Yodel like the plague.
PS: That P2GO price of £100 seems very high, even allowing for the value?
I know this is an old post, but hopefully this might be of interest to some of the members.There are a lot of people in favour of UPS on here, can i just say one thing. We use UPS, DHL, DPD and others and would recommend DHL over UPS every time. It is not because UPS are any worse than DHL, but in the event of a damage claim, they will try everything to get out of paying. We recently sent a keyboard for a client with UPS, complete with additional insurance in the event that it got damaged. The keyboard arrived smashed, UPS subsequently visited the customer to view the damage and the packaging. They then refused to settle the claim on the grounds of insufficient packaging. Their insurers stated that it should have been sent in a metal flight case. When we have had a claim with DHL, they have always honoured the claim. We send Hi-Fi for companies such as Townshend Audio, EAR and Arcam, so are very experienced in these type of goods.You can see on our website www.overlandexpress.co.uk that there is not much difference in the price between the two carriers, so we have no reason for promoting DHL over UPS, just be aware that if your item is damaged, their insurers are very unlikely to pay out. When shipping, obviously the more packaging the better, but usually the manufacturers boxes for Amps, speakers etc are usually sufficient. If in doubt, wrap them with extra bubble wrap, the more packaging,the less chance of damage. For large speakers or heavy valve amps, i agree with the earlier poster,pallets are the best option. Our additional insurance cover is £10 up to £3000 of cover. It covers all Hi-Fi and electrical items and the manufacturers packaging is sufficient.
I would have suspected that the cost of UPS sending out an employee to physically inspect and report on the damaged item (in this case a keyboard) would be more expensive than paying out a claim, therefore making it not economically viable.
Is there any chance of an appeal process to insurers in these sort of situations? I'm sure it would be considered unreasonable to expect lay members of the public to package a keyboard in metal flight cases when an enormous amount arrive unscathed in regular cardboard packaging?

No matter who you are, we hope you will join us soon. We look forward to welcoming you.
Four Churches - Woodborough. Epperstone. Oxton. Gonalston.


Even though almost everything we sell is to Preppers or folks with that ideal, very little of what we sell would be considered a fortress or anything like that. What we sell, across the board, are properties that aren't looked down on from a public road, properties that have some ability to defend without a lot of work. A good choke point is a great thing, some elevation is really helpful, but I haven't sold any bunkers or anything even resembling that. Have sold some properties with root cellars, but if you think about it, there weren't many houses built prior to 1945 that weren't already equipped with a root cellar. It was a common thing, and I think they're coming back in a big way.

Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain's Lunch & Learn series returns for its 15th season with a summer lineup featuring some of the country's top culinary experts.
Celebrity chefs and Food Network stars will dish out recipes and behind-the-scenes insight, leaving guests star-struck and asking for seconds, according to a press release detailing cooking events to be held on Saturdays in July and August in The Views Ballroom.
Top chefs will join Sanctuary's Executive Chef Beau MacMillan for interactive cooking demonstrations, including a three-course meal with wine, question-and-answer opportunities and take-home recipes. Based on availability, guests who stay the night receive a special rate with an upgrade to a Mountain Suite following each Saturday event, with the purchase of a Lunch & Learn ticket.
All lunch events are $75 per person and start at 12 p.m. Dinner events are $125 per person and start at 6 p.m. Prices exclude tax and gratuity. For information on upcoming events and reservations, call 480-607-2300.


Everyone has their particular favorites when it comes to dining-hall meals. Whether it be ahi tuna bowls at Pitzer, make-your-own pizza at Mudd, ceviche tostadas at Frary, or even a humble Sunday-night Collins stir-fry, it's dishes like these which tend to determine where dining-hall goers end up. Often times, however, when deciding where to eat, many tend to overlook a very important (and arguably crucial) aspect of their meal: dessert.
Are you sure Collins is really that mediocre on Sunday nights? Where do you go if you absolutely need a chocolate-fix at 7:30 am? Is it actually necessary these days to venture to Grizzby's in order to find a decent donut?
Back and better than ever, The Forum is here to guide you through all of your dining decisions, this time, tackling the topic of sweets at the 5Cs.
**To clarify: We do not advise eating exclusively dessert for your meal.
These are all adjectives real students across the 5Cs have used to describe Collins Dining Hall. While in some situations and contexts, these phrases could be viable characteristics, Sunday nights will always be the exception thanks to one item: bread pudding.
Arguably one of the best desserts across the 5Cs, Collins produces an overall magnificent product - warm, gooey and rich, it's everything you could ever want as the conclusion of your meal. Varying flavors on a weekly basis, this delectable confection often includes chunks and morsels of other Collins desserts, from chocolate-chip cookies to cinnamon buns and coffee cake.
Whether you smother it up with caramel, top it with froyo, or just enjoy it in its pristine and natural state, this culinary masterpiece should never be overlooked when deciding where to dine. Though not everyone may deem it necessary to include a Gcal notification for "BP Sundays," it'd be unwise to out-rule good ol' Llin on account of misinformed mediocrity.
Having recently re-vamped their cookie game, Collins now serves freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies every lunch and dinner. Warm and gooey, you no longer have to make that 15+ minute walk to Some Crust if you have a pressing cookie craving that needs to be attended to.
Available every lunch and dinner.
Quite honestly, you can't really go wrong with most desserts at McConnell. One exceptional option, however, is its red velvet bars. With a thin, flaky exterior but soft and moist center, these mouthwatering squares are even worth hoarding for after dinner when that 9 p.m. sugar craving kicks in. Studded with white chocolate chips that melt into its buttery core, they're definitely on the sweeter side – but who said that was a bad thing?
Thick and chewy, these blondies are another standout option. Though their blondie-base is already super-soft, dunk them in milk to achieve the ultimate cookies and cream creation.
Quite frankly worthy of a James Beard Award, Mallott's custardy bread base is interspersed with layers of luscious, hazel-nutty Nutella ribbons, creating a creamy, melt-in-your mouth sensory experience. Fluffy and less dense than Collins' version, the pudding itself is sweet, yet not overpoweringly so, meaning you can have seconds (and possibly thirds/fourths) without going into a sugar-induced coma.
Unfortunately rarely available, and never listed on the menu, we recommend making a group chat with your friends to keep each other informed on when it's being served.
Served fresh every single night on weekdays, Mallot's claim to fame is consistently outstanding. Ridiculously gooey and melty, the consistency of these half-baked treats bears more resemblance to that of a molten lava cake than an actual cookie. We recommend putting them on a plate or cup, as they are physically impossible to pick up.
Once a week, Scripps puts out a heavenly array of fresh-donuts for breakfast-goers to enjoy. Ranging from cronuts, to chocolate-glazed cake donuts, or even apple fritters, head over to Mallott to get your sugar-fix in early.
Available select breakfasts (usually once a week).
As Pitzer, Mudd has their fair share of notable desserts. Amongst Hoch-Shanahan's already- commendable selection however, is its outstanding sugar-cookies. With a quite generous butter and sugar content, these simple classics manage to be soft and melty in the middle, while still retaining an overall chewy exterior.
Though a number of dining-halls serve tres leches, a Latin American sponge cake that's soaked in three different types of milk - evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream - none are as moist as Mudd's. Rich but not overly indulgent, you can usually find it on the menu at least once a week.
Available select lunches/dinners (usually once a week).
Nestled away in the hidden cabinet that constitutes the Frary dessert aisle, these cookies don't look particularly promising. Limp and plain-looking, they're often neglected by many Frary-diners alike. Trust us though, you certainly don't want to miss them.
Crispy on the edges yet chewy on the inside, the crunchy chunks of heath bar make for a delightfully diverse combination of textures. If these cookie-candy mashups aren't warm by the time you arrive, pop them in the microwave for a couple seconds to attain cookie perfection.
Sweet and sticky, Frary's monkey bread is sort of like a cinnamon/toffee/donut/bun hybrid, deconstructed into individual mini-bites. Usually available once a week at breakfast, they're a great option for when you're not feeling an entire sugar-based meal but still want a bit of something sweet.
Available at select breakfasts (usually once a week).
As Frank and Frary have the same management, the same desserts are applicable.
Check dining hall menus to see when available, as days will differ with Frary.
Though we don't usually recommend going to Oldenborg unless you absolutely have to, the chocolate pudding with brownie bites is shockingly good - a silky chocolate base topped with chewy, fudgy brownie pieces, it'll provide a nice conclusion to what was probably an otherwise unsatisfactory meal.
With its crumbly graham-cracker crust, decadent chocolate center, and fluffy marshmallow top, Oldenborg's s'mores bar is another surprisingly pleasant option.

A room is built inside the gallery space. It is entered through an automatic door that opens in the manor of a garage door. Inside is an electro-mechanical construction. The lights are lowered and the top portion of the object spins at 300 rpm, projecting television onto the walls of the room. At that rotational speed, 12 distinct and continuous frames of video are seen encircling the room. The effect is similar to being on the inside of a zoetrope. The images are tuned from the broadcast television spectrum and are selected in a preprogrammed sequence by means of custom built microcomputer embedded into the video projector circuitry.The orchestration of events are determined by polling user input in a second microprocessor circuit.

You can get the amount of your real estate taxes paid for the year from the municipality where you reside.
You can deduct health care expenses up to a certain a percentage of your adjusted gross income. Gather all of the your out of pocket costs for all family members for whom you contributed, including yourself. Only consider the costs you actually paid and deduct any insurance reimbursements. Consult with your accountant as to how much of these costs you can deduct. Ask if your health insurance is a deduction available to you if you are self-employed.
Work-related child care costs are also deductible costs. Talk to your accountant as to how much.
If you contribute to a regular IRA (pre-tax) contribution, provide proof of same to your accountant as that is also deducted from your income when determining your tax rate.
If you are divorced and are not the parent of primary residence for the children, then you must have the other party sign Form 8839 to get the dependency exemption you may be entitled to receive.
Alimony payments are tax deductible by the payor and included as taxable income to the payee (recipient). You should make sure that the amount the payor deducts and the amount the payee includes as income is the same. Otherwise, you may be flagged for an audit.

One year ago this evening, Motor Man found a tiny, quivering gray ball of fur behind our shop.
This was the first picture we took of her.
Since then, I've shared many photos of our sweet Gypsy girl, including this one, which made it into our local paper.
Due to a "scheduling conflict", which prevented us from celebrating today, we had a little Gypsy's Gotcha Day party yesterday. The humans had cupcakes, and while Gypsy didn't have any, she was required to inspect and approve of them.
Pictures with her humans were taken, including an attempted re-enactment of the one with her and Motor Man.
Our Gotcha Day gift to Gypsy was this little goldfish, which, when batted around, makes what is supposed to be a "glub-glub" sound. (Gypsy's three humans decided that it sounded more like an engine trying to start. Purrhaps we should call it the Motor Fish.) Gypsy agreed to have her photo taken with it.
And even gave in to temptation to play with her newest toy.
Happy Gotcha Day, Gypsy! You've made lots of friends this year, and we're happy to have you as our official shop greeter and member of our family.
It's been a rather uneventful week, but maybe I can come up with five random thoughts today.
1.) A wren has built a nest in this little birdhouse perched on a rustic old stool on our deck. I think she's finally getting accustomed to us walking by her home.
2.) Speaking of birds, here's this week's hummingbird photo. I'm not sure why, but he looks HUGE! I think I still have just the one hummie coming to my feeder. Once in awhile, I'll see two, but they always seem to have a little show-down, and then they both fly away.
3.) Last week, I walked too close to the recliner, resulting in what I think is a broken little toe. (I'll spare you a photo of that.) You know: the one who cried "whee, whee, whee" all the way home"? Well, mine's just crying.
4.) Marshall sent me this picture of his kitty, Snugg. I think Snugg's a little camera hog, and I think Marshall has an eye for a nice photo.
And that's it for my random five this week. What randomness is happening in your world?
Tuesday, there was an 80% chance of rain for our area. Most of the day was rain-free, but we had a brief shower in the early evening while Motor Man and I were at dinner. When we arrived home and looked out over the river, this is what we saw. You may want to click to enlarge: there was a dark odd-shaped cloud to the left, and a portion of a rainbow to the right.
A little later in the evening, the sky was such pretty shades of blue.
And so was Bride Swan.
…we thought it to be a perfect evening.
One evening last week, I started out with my camera to take pictures of the sunset. As I stepped outside, though, I found a different photo subject in one of our flowerbeds.
I very slowly took the camera strap from my shoulder and aimed in the direction of our little visitor. He obviously didn't realize that eating the portulaca is a no-no.
"Uh-oh, am I in trouble?" Well, you would be, if you weren't so cute.
I normally steer clear of any controversial subjects, but this shocked me to the point that I really felt the need to post about it.
Yesterday afternoon, when Motor Man came home from the shop, he sat down to relax and turned on the tv. He was flipping through the channels, as usual, and I was in and out of the room.
He landed on an episode of "Going Deep" on National Geographic, and the show was about paper airplanes. I was half listening to it as I checked my e-mail.
I wasn't familiar with that show or the host, David Rees. I could not believe what I was hearing when he made a comment about how the ratings for that particular episode should be exceptional and used God's name in vain in the sentence.
And if that weren't bad enough, he said the same thing later in the show.
Okay, remember that this is National Geographic. Is this not considered educational tv? And is this show not taped? So that phrase could certainly have been cut from the show, or at least "bleeped".
I posted this as a status update on my Facebook page, and one of my friends commented that I should ride the school bus and listen to the language there. Agreed. BUT, those are CHILDREN, using bad language to make themselves feel like grown-ups.
David Rees is an adult….on a tv channel whose purpose is to educate. He should be leading by example. If he must use that language in order to express himself, in my opinion, he's the wrong person for the job. And yes, I fired off an email to NatGeo, letting them know how I feel. And Motor Man agrees; we most likely won't be watching that channel again.
I realize that I'm a fuddy-duddy old lady. And I'm sure I'll have readers who disagree with me, and that's fine. I just can't see any reason why obscene language belongs on afternoon tv, much especially National Geographic.

White Tears
Book Review by Mary Volmer
White Tears, by Hari Kunzru. Knopf, 2017. 288 pages, $27.
In Doctor Faustus, Christopher Marlowe's most lasting and celebrated play, an accomplished man of learning sells his soul to the devil for knowledge of necromancy, or magic. For this vainglorious act he enjoys years of blissful insight, only to be forced offstage and into hell. In his darkly entertaining new novel, White Tears, author Hari Kunzru has created, in Seth, a modern Doctor Faustus.
Seth, an awkward middle-class white kid, struggles through college nursing an impractical but consuming passion for sound recording. He has talent and ingenuity. He might, in time, have succeeded in the music business on his own merit. Instead he forms a dodgy friendship with Carter Wallace, the weakest branch of a devilishly rich family empire built on slavery, and later on lucrative private prisons. The magic on offer, in this case, is money and the means to make music. The necromancy is the Wallace family's ability to control the historical narrative, and not only twist reality but canonize the most lucrative and favorable version.
Seth, who narrates most of the story, does not think himself a bad guy. But he is vulnerable to flattery and overawed by Carter's attention and wealth, which, for a time, protects Seth from a discomfiting awareness of the past. He spent his youth avoiding the music of the black musicians that Carter covets because, "there were echoes I couldn't afford to hear…I made a run for it, away from human history and its dark places, into techno, the aural city of the hill. Here was a shiny sound-world made of purely electronic tones, in which I could float free of all context, cocooned in the reassurance that yesterday was long gone, or perhaps never existed at all."
The echoes he avoids carry a responsibility that Seth has no wish to acknowledge. They are echoes of men who suffered, and continue to suffer, a long history of oppression; echoes of those upon whose unheralded labor the American music industry was founded, not to mention agriculture and infrastructure. His avoidance strips the present of its historical context and allows Seth, and the white middle-class he represents, to enjoy the fruits of exploitation without entertaining the guilt.
But only for a time. As in Marlowe's Doctor Faustus, the promise of transcendence proves false. He soon discovers the tenuous nature of his alliance with Carter. It will be allowed only as long as Seth proves irreplaceable and acquiescent. Carter and Seth are not friends, as Seth insists, but associates. The cost of this is not merely a raw awareness of the racial injustices exacted by the Wallace family, but damnation. Once passive and naïve, Seth, in accepting Wallace money, becomes complicit in the family's affairs. For this he suffers a fate arguably worse than the punishment he later imposes on the Wallaces.
Through a series of phantasmagoric narrative shifts, the ghost of Charlie Shaw – whose music Carter Wallace appropriates and, with Seth's help, remasters—takes possession of Seth and fills him with memories of injustice at the hands of white men. In another shift, Seth becomes a black man, wrongly imprisoned. He is beaten and demeaned. He experiences helpless rage and learns what so many black Americans already know: that for the powerless "something can happen to you and afterwards it cannot happen. For you it happened, but somehow they"—the keepers of the narrative—"remember it differently, or don't remember it at all." Seth loses control over his memories and his future. Like Shaw, his potential comes to naught.
All of this is brilliantly conceived, but this is not a flawless book. Halfway, we leap into the past and the point of view of JumpJim whose colleague, Chester Bly is also possessed. JumpJim's narrative, gripping as it is, overwhelms Seth's story, dispersing the horror. Nor is this a book built on complex characterization. Carter Wallace is a rich boy caricature, seeking, like his shallow artist sister, an authentic life in the suffering of others. What they want is license to feel anything, even pain, but not too much. Emotions, Carter supposes, like clothing and people, are disposable. Indeed, the whole Wallace family is an outsized (and all too familiar) portrait of corrupt wealth and its soul deadening effects.
Seth begins with personality and the potential to develop into a full and flawed character. But narrative shifts dilute his voice. Beyond a hard-on for Carter's sister and a talent for recording, he lacks definition. Even his name, Seth, makes a whispered and unsubstantial sound (I couldn't help comparing the name "Seth" with the Faust-like Sith of Star Wars fame, who gain power from the dark side, but lose their humanity.) After learning the source of Wallace wealth – and more baffling, after he experiences miserable injustices faced by Charlie Shaw—Seth still cannot bring himself to refuse Wallace money. He gains fear and anger, but no empathy for Shaw, and no sense of his own complicity.
While this outcome is entirely plausible, Seth's decision to continue taking money would have been more disappointing (and dramatically effective) had he retained enough agency to convincingly struggle with the choice. I hardly remember the boy from page one and don't mourn his ruin as I mourned Dr. Faustus, who over the course of Marlowe's play becomes more, rather than less human in his folly.
Nevertheless, White Tears is tremendously compelling and worth your time. Ursula Le Guin says, "a good story doesn't carry a message, it is the message." White Tears is a bloody, music-filled romp, but also, like Doctor Faustus, a brilliant cautionary tale: a literary horror story about a man who sacrifices all claims to innocence by clinging to corrupt wealth.

The Importance of Keeping Balance
In life, especially during these modern times that are a constant go, it's easy to lose your balance. But what do we really mean when we seek balance in reference to spirituality? Balance is often thought of as a midpoint between two opposing forces. Black and white, hate and love, faith and skepticism. But life is not broken into a straight line that simply. Most people assume that finding balance means never venturing too far into one side or the other; remaining in a true neutral. Others believe it means staying only "in the light" and eschewing everything considered "dark." But we believe that neither one of these views is truly balanced.
True neutrality does not exist. It's an impossibility, because it assumes that there is some kind of universal "center" that is true for every single person. But life is much messier than that. We all experience different things, and even when we experience the same things, we may draw different conclusions from them. So everyone's idea of "neutral" is not the same. And trying to remain only in this imaginary center point deprives you of experience. In life we all experience highs and lows. That is part of what makes life amazing; the endless state of change. That should be embraced.
Similarly, remaining only in "light" parts of our experience is not balanced either. Too much of a good thing is still too much. There is especially a tendency to only "be good" in religious communities. But we are all only human, and denying that we have a darker side doesn't make it go away. We feel jealousy, and rage, and hate. These are a fact of our life as much as love, and joy, and humility. Suppressing those emotions in an attempt to remain "good" is harmful.
Balance should be a calmness. A space we create at our center. We should allow ourselves to feel all of the infinite emotions and experiences in this amazing world, without getting swept away by them. Balance is a place we return to. A place we find respite from the storm; a knowledge we carry with us that there is a refuge when it becomes overwhelming. Finding balance in our lives can feel like a constant struggle if we're fighting to remain in one spot. If our lives were scales, and our experiences weights placed upon them, then we must understand that with every weight placed on one side, we must adjust the center point of the fulcrum between them. That is the true nature of balance. A constant dance of adjustment. But once you free yourself from the concept that balance is a stationary place, it will become much easier to achieve balance.

American Economist Stephen Moore Joins Cryptocurrency Central Bank Like Facebook's Libra
Nivesh Rustgi Altcoin News June 25, 2019
Reportedly, US Economist, Stephen Moore has joined a team the "Decentral" team to create a "world's decentralized central bank." Stephen Moore with the Decentral team will imitate the functions of a central bank to stabilize the cryptocurrency markets including Bitcoin and other altcoins.
Moore will officially join the team on July 1, 2019, as the Chief Economic Officer. Mike Novogratz is also an investor in the parent company of Decentral. Stephen Moore, who has served the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal recently lost a bid to join the Federal Reserve. He told the media among other things,
"I'm really excited about doing this, I hope it makes me rich."
Michael Gruen, was an adviser to the 2016 Trump campaign and the Chief Marketing Officer of Decentral noted,
"We were amazed with Steve's knowledge of the Fed and offered him a chance to come on board,"
This decision taken by Stephen Moore is seen as a 'backfire' to the Federal Reserve appointment. During the Fed Appointment race, there were many allegations put forward against Stephen Moore which has tainted his image.
Decentral, the central bank of cryptocurrencies
The aim of Decentral is to perform Central Bank duties of stabilizing the economy on cryptocurrencies. They will attempt to regulate the flow of money in and out of the cryptocurrency markets.
The methodology that is expected to be implied involves a stablecoin that will be backed by a FIAT or a combination of other securities. The stablecoin will be similar to Facebook's Libra. According to Moore, the goal is also similar to Libra, to create a uniform worldwide payment currency that is pegged to a stable currency. It will help in stabilizing the cryptocurrency markets specifically.
Sam Kazemian, the CEO and Co-founder of Decentral, who is spearheading the Decentral project to provide stability to Bitcoin prices. He told the media,
"Decentral will solve the biggest problem facing regulators when it comes to the crypto space: The current instability of pricing. Decentral will allow more and better price discovery without wild swings in value that have been the case,"
Decentral's 3 Token System (Source)
They will be implying a 3 token system to achieve their goals with 'Decentral.' While others are seeing a conflict of interest with the Federal Reserve, Moore sees no reason to doubt his intentions. He believes that the role of cryptocurrencies does not conflict with that of Central Banks. He also added,
"These guys are super smart, this is an alternative way of making payments."
Do you think that Decentral will be successful in their endeavors? Please share your views with us.

Crypto-Market Update: Bitcoin [BTC] Re-tests $11200, As Alts XRP, ETH, LTC Await Bull Season


Can Red Bull really beat Mercedes?
Red Bull always expected the Singapore Grand Prix to represent one of its best chances to score a strong result over the rest of this Formula 1 season. The Marina Bay F1 circuit is a street track, so lacks the sort of lengthy straightline sections that expose the power deficit of Red Bull's Renault engine.
That's why the team deliberately incurred so many grid penalties for engine component changes last time out at Monza, to ensure it came to Singapore with the freshest and most reliable combination of power unit elements it could run without incurring further sanction.

Spies: 'It's Pretoria for me'
CAPE TOWN — Springbok and Bulls No. 8 Pierre Spies is set to stay in Pretoria despite reports indicating he might leave for France.
The supersport.com website yesterday indicated Spies may leave Pretoria with French Top 14 club Bayonne reportedly making a massive offer for his services over the next three years.
Spies has been negotiating with the Bulls to extend his contract, but has been unsuccessful thus far, and with time running out — his contract expires next week — there was some concern that he may be lured by the big offer. He has reportedly been offered close to R15 million over three years, with a net salary of €40 000 (R452 000) per month.
However, according to the Rugby365 website, the report is mere "speculation without any merit".
Spies's agent, Gerrie Swart, told the rugby website that no negotiation has taken place with any other clubs.
"I don't know where the speculation about France comes from," Swart said. "Pierre has certainly not negotiated with any French clubs."

The Mississippi Legislature cut a swath through 2016-17 state budgets over the prior weekend as they prepared to adjourn the legislative session, cutting spending in agencies ranging from the Department of Education to the Department of Health in response to slowing growth in tax collections. As lawmakers adjourned "Sine Die" (without return) – The Senate on Wednesday and House on Thursday - Gov. Phil Bryant immediately announced further cuts in the state budgets this fiscal year; and he suggested calling a special session as early as June to spend the proceeds from the settlement of a lawsuit with BP from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
The Budget that lawmakers hammered out in the final hours spends even less than the conservative starting budget with which they walked into this session. More typically, lawmakers start with a conservative budget but increases the amount available to spend in the final days of the Session.
State agency heads were also preparing to adjust to a new funding systems imposed this year in which they don't necessarily keep all licensing fees or traffic fines that once were dedicated to specific causes; but also no longer face using their budgets to "pay rent" back to the state for office space or computer/information systems use. Regardless, the depth of some cuts were notable: Department of Agriculture is cut 18.7%; Wildlife and Fisheries was cut 7.7%; Corrections 4.2%; Archives and History 17.8%.
Adjournment ended a tumultuous and challenging session ushered in January with newly reelected Republican leadership. House Speaker Philip Gunn found that voters had given his party a three-fifths majority in the 122-member House; and Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves entered his second term as presiding officer in the Senate with a similar numerical advantage in the 52-member Senate. Despite the Republican strength, though, the session was often challenging on a range of issues, with Democrats - mostly in the House- invoking procedural maneuvers to slow the process, including asking that each bill be read aloud as per the Constitution of 1890 allows; and differences in priorities among the new Republican House majority.
Tight budget: Economists told the legislative budget leadership that even while the economy continued to grow – it is growing at a very slow pace. As a result, in a rare move, the leadership in the final days revised downward by .4 % their estimate of funds they are likely to have available in the fiscal year beginning July 1. The state's $6.3 billion state-dollar spending plan includes $5.8 billion in "general funds" from state tax collections as well as other dedicated taxes and $5 million from the state's rainy day fund (which still has approximately $350 million in reserves).
Tax Cuts: Republican leadership delivered on campaign promise to cut taxes by implementing a 12-year plan to phase out $415 million in tax cuts, including: 1) Eliminating Mississippi's 3% individual income tax bracket ($145 million) and raising the threshold for all paying state income taxes to $10,000;2) Phasing out the state's corporate franchise tax on investments ($260 million), and; 3) Lowering the state's self-employment tax ($10.2 million). The bulk of the tax cuts don't begin to phase-in for at least two years, and House budget leaders openly expressed their intent to before that time consider a major overhaul of the state's tax system that might undue or modify these tax measures. Gov. Bryant told reporters he would "study" the cut, noting his focus was on tax cuts for individuals rather than corporations.
Workforce training: The MS Works bill is designed to eventually put up to $10 million a year toward job training and focusses on luring new employers and sustaining existing manufacturers and others. Specially, SB 2808 will: 1) Divert the current .2% minimum unemployment experience rate tax to the Mississippi Works Fund; 2) Ensure 75% of funds go toward new job creation and 25% of funds go toward retention and existing jobs; 3) Use the community college system; and bring Mississippi law into conformity with the WIOA.
Education: After decades of debate, Mississippi lawmakers approved legislation blocking the election of local school district superintendents, saying local school boards should be free to find the best candidate from outside the boundaries of a district. Currently over 50 districts have elected superintendents.
Gay Marriage: On "social issues", lawmakers ended the Session enacting HB 1523 that supporters said was designed to offer a measure of protection to both churches, faith-based institutions, and public and private sector employees who refused services in support of gay marriage. Critics called the legislation unnecessary at best, and discriminatory at worst; lawmakers and Gov. Phil Bryant found themselves the topic/target of an on-going national discussion on the issue, with some cheering them on and others calling for the legislation's repeal.
Highway Infrastructure: Efforts to build a consensus around raising new revenues for highway maintenance stalled. The Mississippi Economic Council kicked off the Session calling for an additional $375 million annually to fund highway maintenance. However, legislators said a range of concerns – ranging from opposition to raising taxes to questions about the need for highway repairs, and even where and how the funds would be allocated – stymied a variety of funds-raising scenarios. Lawmakers in both chambers are likely to spend this summer and fall focused on both the challenges with road maintenance and potential funding solutions.
Campaign Finance: After a flurry of media coverage focusing on use of campaign funds for seemingly personal expenses, the Legislature debated a bill to prohibit the conversion of campaign funds raised after January 1, 2017 for strictly personal use. The bill died, though, during conference committee negotiations.
Bonds: Lawmakers authorized the borrowing through the sale of bonds of $250 million for projects ranging from building construction on university and community college campuses, to local bridge repairs to dozens of smaller, community projects like walking trails, museums and parks. Lawmakers also dedicated some of the proceeds of settlement of the lawsuit over the BP oil spill to construction, maintenance and other projects in South Mississippi.
Solo ER's: Gov. Phil Bryant signed SB 2297 that authorizes free- standing emergency rooms in rural regions of the state that have lost "critical access hospital" designation from CMS. The legislation authorizes the Dept. of Health to create regulations to award licensure and to govern free-standing ERs, and it prohibits one within 15 miles of any hospital-based ER.
Health Fees: HB 289 would raise some fees within the Mississippi Department of Health within limits. The department can raise a licensing or registration fee, and other fees, up to twice over the next four years, but neither time may the increase be more than 15%. The bill is headed to the governor's desk.
Trauma: HB 298 would redirect traffic fees and other fines collected as part of funding for the state's subsidized Trauma System to flow through the state's general fund budget before being reauthorized specifically for the Trauma fund. This is part of a larger look at so-called "special funds,'' such as licensing fees that now automatically go to fund the agencies that collect them. The leadership has insisted this will not result in a reduction in trauma funding. The bill is on the way to the governor's desk; the Dept. of Health's budgeted dollars for Trauma did not to appear to have been immediately impacted.
MD Licensure: HB 41, which allows Mississippi to enter into reciprocal medical licensing agreements with other states, is on its way to the governor.
Fraud HB 1116 would have enhanced identity verification and asset verification. The legislation was aimed at ensuring Medicaid beneficiaries have not hidden assets and that they are who they say they are. The bill died during conference committee negotiations, though, in part over questions about how to pay for it and how many social service benefits to apply it to.
Medicaid/DHS: SB 2384, as approved by the Senate, would have merge the Division of Medicaid with the Mississippi Department of Human Services, which currently deals with TANF benefits, child support collections, and other programs. The legislation died in the final days of the session.
Air EMS: SB 2340 would have required Air EMS operators in Mississippi to be associated with a Level I or Level II Trauma Center. We killed this legislation by discouraging the Public Health and Senate leadership from taking it up for a committee vote. It died by failing to advance on schedule.
Telemedicine: HB 1178, as approved by the House, would have protected telemedicine practices as currently conducted in the state of Mississippi in statute, requiring telemedicine to be conducted by a licensed Mississippi physician via various modes of communication including telephone, store-and-forward technology, and/or video conferencing. This measure passed out of the House with 108 votes out of the 122-member body; The bill died in a Senate committee.
Medicaid: HB 898, as introduced and approved by the House, would have required the state through the Division of Medicaid to reimburse OB/GYNs at 100% of Medicare. The Legislation has code sections to allow for expansive Medicaid amendments, and it died in the Senate.
Procurement: HB 1452 was aimed at exempting medical services and products from IHL oversight and MS bidding laws. UMMC argued that it does a disservice to both patients and training physicians to require lowest-and-best bids; this legislation could potentially be a vehicle for future amendments. The bill died in the Senate.
As many of you know Saturday, April 16 was the budget deadline to complete negotiations on the state's budget via appropriation, tax and bond measures via conference weekend.
Based on attendance at the Governor's Rural Health Summit on April 11th, MPHCA believes we have a tremendous opportunity to aid the plight of struggling hospitals in our state.
The MS Rural Physician Program; although proud of there is a need for expanding.
He added that priorities of supply and demand; healthcare access and quality of patient care should all be priority areas of focus.
Gov. Bryant also referenced House Bill 41 and his expressed support of the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact.
ENACT INTO LAW THE INTERSTATE MEDICAL LICENSURE COMPACT AND PROVIDE THAT THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI ENTERS THE COMPACT WITH OTHER STATES THAT JOIN IN THE COMPACT.
Expansion of Opportunities for Best Practice of Nurse Practitioners after 3-4 years of working with a physician. They should then be able to go into independent practice. He referenced his sponsorship of the Nurse Practitioner bill and the extension from 15 to 75 miles and what this should afford in the ability of NP's and PA's to practice what they know, particularly in rural areas.
Other presenters included Tim Moore, President & CEO Mississippi Hospital Association. MHA is still seeking to offer the Governor an option in lieu current Managed Care structure and the absence of Medicaid expansion to allow for a Provider-Sponsored Managed Care Plan.
They have partnered with Evolent https://www.evolenthealth.com/. They are a population-based health management group that will assist them in focusing on population health, ACO activity and Value-based payment options.
Other speakers were from the law firms of Waller, Taggart Rimes & Graham, and the Ochsner Health System talked about the future of change i.e. payment reform in healthcare delivery and the abysmal outlook for hospitals in the acute care business.
FQHCs were referenced by both Mr. Fairman and I during the presentation and Mr. Scott Phillips, Managing Director, Healthcare Management Partners shared the following FQHC/Hospital collaboration as a model with the audience.
As a follow up, Ms. Sherman has reached out to panel members to continue discussions for potential solutions by FQHCs.
Saturday, April 16 is the budget deadline. It is the deadline to complete negotiations on the state's budget via hundreds of appropriation, tax and bond measures that are now pending in conference committees. This is known as "conference weekend." Finalizing the appropriation bills and bond bills also paves the way for final deals of scores of general bills.
Wednesday, April 20 is the general deadline. It is the deadline for first consideration of negotiated deals on conference reports for general bills. Legislation that isn't approved by this deadline has a slim chance to return.
Sunday, April 24 is adjournment sine die. Legislators typically complete their business a few days prior to this official adjournment date.
Mississippi Legislators have until Wednesday, March 30, to approve pending general legislation before they return their attention to major tax and budget issues. The House and Senate worked last week to either pass general bills originating in the other chamber out of committee or kill them.
Gov. Phil Bryant announce his appointment of Rep. Herb Frierson (R-Poplarville) as the state's next Commissioner of the Department of Revenue. Frierson currently serves as chairman of the House Appropriations bill and is a pivotal player in the upcoming budgeting process. He will remain in that role through adjournment of this year's regular session and will then takeover as Revenue, or Tax, Commissioner July 1.
Vaccine exemption legislation die. HB 938, which passed the House 65-54 after a contentious debate, would have removed the Department of Health from approving vaccine exemptions for children. Senate leaders said the Department appears to be granting exemptions when requested.
The federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) approve--for now--Mississippi's supplemental Medicaid payment plan to hospitals. In a letter dated March 22, CMS told the state the formula for Medicaid supplemental payments to the state's hospitals can't remain static and must move toward a value-based system.
The Mississippi Economic Council unveils a detailed report (found at http://www.msmec.com/images/Excelerate_MS/TRIP_Report_March_23.pdf) showing Mississippians will pay, on average, $640 in increased travel, auto repair, and other costs if the state doesn't begin to invest more in highway maintenance. The House and Senate leadership are pushing to design a new highway funding package.
The following "dead bills": (I would only list bill name and highlights) and the "read more" tab.
Air EMS: SB 2340 would have required Air EMS operators in Mississippi to be associated with a Level I or Level II Trauma Center. We killed this legislation by discouraging the Public Health and Senate leadership from taking it up for a committee vote. It died by failing to advance on schedule. We are guarding for possible amendments to other legislation.
Department of Health to support small and rural hospitals transition to new business models to survive changing economic and healthcare conditions.
Telemedicine: HB 1178, as approved by the House, would have protected telemedicine practices as currently conducted in the state of Mississippi in statute, requiring telemedicine to be conducted by a licensed Mississippi physician via various modes of communication including telephone, store-and-forward technology, and/or video conferencing. This measure passed out of the House with 108 votes out of the 122-member body; Senate committee action could occur as early as this week. There is opposition by UMMC and the state Board of Medical Licensure who intend to either kill the bill, severely limit services to licensed MS physicians who are actual residents of MS, and/or limit the mode of communication to video only. We have worked with existing providers, media, and business groups to shore up support for this legislation, which was filed in response to proposed Board of Medical Licensure rules to severely limit the practice of telemedicine.
Medicaid: HB 898, as introduced and approved by the House, would have required the state through the Division of Medicaid to reimburse OB/GYNs at 100% of Medicare. The Legislation has code sections to allow for expansive Medicaid amendments, and leadership in the Senate is likely to be extraordinarily cautious in dealing with it.
Procurement: HB 1452 was aimed at exempting medical services and products from IHL oversight and MS bidding laws. UMMC argues that it does a disservice to both patients and training physicians to require lowest-and-best bids; this legislation could potentially be a vehicle for future amendments. HB 1452 could potentially be amended to address that, as well, or to expand services for which UMMC would not have to procure.
An Act To Amend Section 43-13-117, Mississippi Code Of 1972, To Direct The Division Of Medicaid To Reimburse Physicians With A Designation Of Family Medicine, General Internal Medicine, Pediatric Medicine, Obstetrics And Gynecology, Or A Subspecialty Recognized By The Division As Providing Primary Care Services At A Rate Not Less Than One Hundred Percent Of The Current Rate Established Under Medicare; To Provide That Medicaid Managed Care Plans Shall Reimburse For The Same Services In The Same Manner; And For Related Purposes.
Title: Medicaid; require reimbursement of all primary care physicians at 100% of Medicare rate.
An Act To Amend Section 27-65-105, Mississippi Code Of 1972, To Exempt From Sales Taxation Sales Of Tangible Personal Property, Labor, Services Or Products To Schools And School Districts Under A Program That Is Administered By Or Coordinated With An Agency, Commission, Department Or Other Instrumentality Of The United States Government When Payment For The Tangible Personal Property, Labor, Services Or Products Is Made By Or Through A Nonprofit Organization Or Other Entity Established By Or For The Benefit Of The Agency, Commission, Department Or Other Instrumentality Of The United States Government Administering Or Coordinating Such Program; And For Related Purposes.

Netanyahu sees U.S. staying 'very, very tough' on Iran despite Bolton ouster
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu played down the impact of hawkish John Bolton's exit from the post of U.S. national security adviser, predicting on Wednesday that Washington would hold to a tough line on Iran.

U.S. President Donald Trump fired Bolton on Tuesday, citing policy disagreements. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said immediately after that Trump might meet Iranian President Hassan Rouhani at the U.N. general assembly this month.
Netanyahu was among the most vocal champions of Trump's withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and major powers and has voiced misgivings about Western engagement with Tehran unless this leads to sweeping restrictions on sensitive nuclear projects.
But Netanyahu, in an Israeli television interview, sounded unfazed by Bolton's departure and possible Trump-Rouhani talks.
"Look, the one who formally crafted the American policy was Pompeo ... and President Trump of course. But I'm not getting into the personality changes in this administration," he told Channel 20.
Netanyahu, waving off commentators who deemed Bolton's departure a blow to him and to Israel, cited new U.S. sanctions against Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps that were announced shortly after Trump tweeted about Bolton's departure.
"So I am convinced, I have no doubts at all, that in any situation - with talks, without talks - President Trump and his administration will be very, very tough with Iran."
Iran greeted Bolton's ouster by counselling the United States to shun "warmongers". But it has also been cold to recent Trump administration overtures, saying it will not enter talks while under U.S. sanctions.
Netanyahu, a four-term conservative, is neck-and-neck with centrist rivals in opinion polls ahead of an Israeli election next week.
He told Channel 20 that the U.S. position on Iran was "to not a small degree a result of things that I discussed with them, and I am also happy that I persuaded them".

Theater Review - Book smart
Educating Rita with Red Clay Theatre
By Curt Holman Wednesday October 25, 2006 12:04 AM EDT
Nature abhors a vacuum, and apparently so does art. No sooner has Duluth's Aurora Theatre moved to Lawrenceville than the fledgling Red Clay Theatre and Arts Center, under managing partners Shelly Howard and Mark Pitt, opened just a block down Duluth's Main Street from Aurora's old space. Red Clay's venue, a converted church that still smells of recently dried paint, improves on Aurora's old theater by boasting more seats, more space and more overall slickness.
Red Clay's new production of Educating Rita has more significance as a new theater's inaugural show than as a satisfying entertainment in its own right. You may remember the chipper 1983 film version with Michael Caine and Julie Walters: Rita (Agnes Harty), a restless, working-class hairdresser, seeks to broaden her intellectual horizons by taking a literature course from Frank (Eric Brooks), a boozing, washed-up former poet.
Inevitably, Rita and Frank spend more time talking their personal problems than great books, which is a shame because Rita's literary epiphanies provide the most effervescent moments. Early in the play, Rita's common sense amusingly punctures the pretense of academia, but she becomes transported when she finally "gets" Howards End and, later, sees Macbeth. ("Wasn't his wife a cow!")
Harty nicely captures Rita's wit and gumption, but the show lacks a certain snap. Either the jokes need more confident punch to bring out the laughs, or the characters need sharper angles to heighten the drama. Harty and Brooks both provide "huggable" performances when their roles seem to be more prickly, difficult individuals. It doesn't help that the play's cultural references have aged poorly over two decades and across the Atlantic, although Red Clay's production, directed by Allen O'Reilly, goes a long way to compensate by using bouncy, early-1980s Brit-pop to set the mood.
Educating Rita takes a fairly snobbish view of feminist self-actualization, which portrays Rita's hostile, offstage husband and her blue-collar pals as little better than cavemen. The play's most thought-provoking moments come when Frank resists the notion that now-learned Rita no longer needs him, which unfortunately evokes an earlier, superior text. Inevitably, when Educating Rita teaches us about the importance of distinguishing great literature from second-rate writing, we can't help but perceive the play as a pale shadow of "Pygmalion."
Educating Rita. Through Nov. 5. Red Clay Theatre, 3116 Main St., Duluth. Thurs., 7:30 p.m.; Fri.-Sat., 8 p.m.; Sun., 2:30 p.m. $22.50-$30. 770-622-1777. www.redclaytheatrearts.com.

MIT Sloan Health Systems Initiative
MIT Healthcare Certificate Recipients Are Enthusiastically Celebrated at First In-Person Ceremony Since 2019
2022 MIT Healthcare Certificate Recipients
On May 25, 36 students from eight programs received the MIT Healthcare Certificate in a ceremony at Le Méridien in Cambridge. For the first time in three years, the event was held in person, although the Zoom option let people from all over the world join too. This year's continued increase in graduates is one of many signs of the growing interest in healthcare at MIT.
Similar to previous years, Anne Quaadgras, Director of HSI and Healthcare Lab co-lead, one of the required courses for the Certificate; Jacob Cohen, Senior Associate Dean for Undergraduate and Master's Programs; Joe Doyle, faculty Director of HSI and Professor of Applied Economics; and Barry Stein, Sloan alumnus and Chief Clinical Innovation Officer and Chief Medical Informatics Officer, Hartford HealthCare, all spoke to offer their congratulations.
One of the recurring themes was Healthcare Certificate graduates' returning to Sloan to collaborate on research and to be host companies for Healthcare Lab. Joe Doyle spoke about the kind of healthcare research that interests students and professors, "we use management techniques to work on meaningful problems, providing evidence that results in intrinsic benefit." A current project, studying the efficacy of the Fresh Food Farmacy at Geisinger Health started with an MIT student suggesting the idea to faculty. Joe Doyle is now running an RCT at the program to come to definitive conclusions and evidence-based recommendations.
Anne Quaadgras also spoke about working with alumni. Alumni at Lahey Health, Boston Children's Hospital, and Hartford Health have been Healthcare Lab hosts in recent years.
Barry Stein, EMBA '17, spoke at length about the benefits that continue to accrue from his time at MIT. He told a compelling story about working with HSI researchers when COVID first exploded putting great strain on the healthcare system. Using the skills he learned at Sloan, along with collaborations with operations professors, enabled Stein and his team to pivot quickly to handle the influx of patients needing hospital beds and ventilators. This year, when supply chain issues in Shanghai affected the crucial hospital supply of contrast media, Stein and his collaborators used operations knowledge and skills to manage that emergency.
The Healthcare Certificate is open to all MIT students. It focuses on applying business principles to healthcare and addresses the question of how to deliver more effective care in a more cost-effective way from a business standpoint. The Healthcare Certificate prepares students to take on these challenges by providing them with perspectives including operations, economics, entrepreneurship, biomedical innovations, data science and finance. So far, enrollment for the coming year shows an even larger increase in interested students than last year, proving that healthcare studies are alive and well at MIT. As Barry Stein said, the degree and certificate signal to the world that the graduate is dedicated and passionate, and wants to participate in transforming healthcare.
The mission of the MIT Sloan School of Management is to develop principled, innovative leaders who improve the world and to generate ideas that advance management practice.

Biografia
Marcelino Sambé è nato nel quartiere di Alto da Loba, nella periferia di Lisbona. Suo padre morì quando lui aveva otto anni e la madre, non potendosene prendere cura, affidò Sambé ai servizi sociali. Fu la psicologa del centro sociale a suggerirgli la danza, una strada che lo portò prima al Conservatorio Nazionale di Lisbona e poi alla Royal Ballet School di Londra, dove si diplomò nel 2012 dopo aver vinto il primo premio del Youth America Grand Prix.

Sambé è dichiaratamente omosessuale e convive con il compagno, un avvocato, a Nord di Londra.

Carriera
Nel 2012, subito dopo il diploma, è stato scritturato dal Royal Ballet, di cui ha scalato rapidamente i ranghi: nel 2014 è stato promosso primo artista, nel 2015 solista, nel 2017 primo solista e nel 2019 ballerino principale.

Partner abituale di Anna Rose O'Sullivan e, occasionalmente, di Francesca Hayward, Akane Takada e Sarah Lamb, Sambé ha danzato al Covent Garden in molti dei grandi ruoli del repertorio maschile, tra cui Siegfried ne Il lago dei cigni (Scarlett), Albrecht in Giselle (Wright), il Principe e l'eponimo protagonista ne Lo schiaccianoci (Wright), Romeo e Mercuzio in Romeo e Giulietta (MacMillan), Rodolfo in Mayerling (MacMillan), Lescaut in Manon (MacMillan), l'Idolo di Bronzo ne La Bayadère (Makarova), il Principe e l'Uccello Azzurro ne La bella addormentata (Petipa), Franz in Coppélia (de Valois) e Basilio in Don Chisciotte (Acosta).

Inoltre ha anzato in coreografie di Christopher Wheeldon (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Winter's Tale) e George Balanchine (Jewels, Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux). Ha danzato anche in molti dei principali ruoli maschili nel repertorio di Frederick Ashton, tra cui Oberon in The Dream, Colas ne La Fille mal gardée, il Principe nella Cenerentola e il protagonista in Rhapsody e Les Patineurs.

Sempre con il Royal Ballet ha danzato nelle prime assolute di Like Water for Chocolate (Wheeldon), Optional Family: A Divertissement (Abraham), Flight Pattern (Pite), Ceremony of Innocence (Brandstrup), Connectome (Marriott), Untouchable (Schechter), The Cellist (Marston) e Woolf Works e The Dante Project (McGregor).

In veste di étoile ospite, nel dicembre 2022 ha danzato nel ruolo di Albrecht in Giselle al Teatro Nacional de São Carlos accanto alla Giselle di O'Sullivan nell'allestimento coreografato da Jorge Garcia.

York Spring Regatta 2018 Success.
The sun shone brightly on York Spring Regatta this weekend, bringing summer racing on the Ouse to the heart of the city on Saturday 5th May to kick start a glorious bank holiday weekend.
Racing over from St Peter's Boathouse to just above the YCRC boathouse, the regatta draws competitors from across the region and further afield, with 20 clubs competing in this year's event in over 180 different crews over 9 hours of racing. Run entirely by volunteers from YCRC and further afield, the regatta served up some wonderful racing for those who by the evening had lined the banks of the Ouse to cheer them on in the sunshine.
It was a great day for YCRC – across the 56 events offered over different boat classes and ages, the club rowers took home 36 wins, with successes for Junior, Senior and Masters rowers alike, from close races to emphatic victories.
Anne Homa, Regatta Secretary, said "It was great to see rowers from all sections of the club, many racing for the first time ever, enjoying racing good opposition in fantastic conditions". Thanks to all who helped out, and see you on the 24th June for York Summer!

Round three of Turn to Starboard's 2019 racing season headed to the seaport town of Cowes on the Isle of Wight for the Nab Tower Race.
The 35-nautical-mile course run from Cowes to Nab Tower, a steel and concrete cylinder built to protect the south coast from German submarines during World War One. The structure now acts as a light to guide ships into the deep water channel for Portsmouth and Southampton.
After crossing the start line, the Turn to Starboard crew worked together to ensure the boat was in a good position and made a long beat down the Solent, the strait that separates the Isle of Wight from the mainland of England. Overall, the race was completed in 4 hours and 17 minutes and the crew await the final result once the IRC Handicap Certificate is issued this week.
Turn to Starboard Race Officer, John Savage, said: "The race was really good fun and all seemed to enjoy themselves".
