John Taylor was an English religious leader who served as the third president and Apostle of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) from 1880 to 1887. Born in England, he is the only president of the LDS Church to have been born outside of the United States.
Taylor was born in Milnthorpe, Westmorland (now part of Cumbria), England, the son of James and Agnes Taylor. He had formal schooling up to age fourteen, and then he served an initial apprenticeship to a cooper and later received training as a woodturner and cabinetmaker.
1832 Migration to Canada
Taylor's parents and siblings emigrated to Upper Canada (present-day Ontario) in 1830. Taylor stayed in England to dispose of the family property and joined his family in Toronto in 1832.
Between 1834 and 1836, John and Leonora Taylor participated in a religious study group in Toronto. The group discussed problems and concerns with their Methodist faith, and quickly became known as the "Dissenters." Other members included Joseph Fielding and his sisters Mary and Mercy, who later also became prominent in the Latter Day Saint movement. While in Toronto Taylor continued to work in his trade as a woodturner.
Conversion to Mormonism
John claimed that as a young man, he had a vision of "an angel in the heavens, holding a trumpet to his mouth, sounding a message to the nations" - the angel Moroni.[6] He was christened in the Church of England, but joined the Methodist church at sixteen. He was appointed a lay preacher a year later, and felt a calling to preach in America.
In 1833 Toronto, Elder Parley P. Pratt baptized their son John who was a Methodist preacher into the newly formed The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). John in turn baptized his parents on 9 April 1836.
Migration to Missouri thwarted
Attempting to join the saints in Missouri, the family was temporarily driven back by mobs at the border. (circa 1838?)
Taylor practiced plural marriage and was married to eight wives: He was the father of 34 children.
Taylor's son, John W. Taylor, continued to serve in the church and in politics and helped to shepherd Utah to statehood in 1896. John W. Taylor was ultimately excommunicated from the LDS Church for his opposition to the church's abandonment of plural marriage. His son, Samuel W. Taylor, became a writer, and the biographer of his father and grandfather.
Another son, William W. Taylor, served as one of the first presidents of the seventy and also served in the Utah territorial legislature.
Taylor's daughter Annie Taylor Hyde was a leader in the Relief Society general presidency and was the founder of Daughters of Utah Pioneers.
1st Marriage: Leonora Cannon
He met Leonora Cannon (1796-1868) from the Isle of Man while attending a Toronto Methodist Church and, although she initially rejected his proposal, married her on January 28, 1833.
2nd Marriage: Elizabeth Kaighin
Another immigrant from Isle of Man, her first marriage. Elizabeth Kaighin (1811-1895)
3rd Marriage: Jane Ballantyne
Scottish Immigrant, Jane Ballantyne (1813-1901)
7th Marriage: Margaret Young
Margaret Young (1837-1919) was a member of the inaugural general presidency of what is today the Young Women organization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) from 1880 to 1887.
8th Marriage: Jo Roueche
Married Josephine Elizabeth Roueche (1860-1943) in 1886 in Utah. No Children. She remarried in 1921 to George W Palmer.

Hammer time!
NPR reports the startling news that people who train their attention on a search for something, will often overlook other objects in the search process!
In other words, what we're thinking about — what we're focused on — filters the world around us so aggressively that it literally shapes what we see. And so, Drew says, we need to think carefully about the instructions we give to professional searchers like radiologists or people looking for terrorist activity, because what we tell them to look for will in part determine what they see and don't see.
Which is a classic statement of the "No shit, Sherlock!" variety. And the fact that it comes from a scientist makes it even funnier. Not because science is immediately suspect or once again, by this tiny example, proven flawed and broken. But really: this is an insight? We needed a carefully controlled scientific study to tell us that you find what you're looking for, and overlook evidence hiding in plain sight? I mean, we even have phrases for that, like: "Hiding in plain sight."
Anyone with a passing knowledge of detective stories, or even a literary education, could have told these guys you see what you are looking for, and overlook whatever doesn't fit your expectations. There's yet another saying for the related problem of a narrow vision that sees only what it allows itself to see: "To the man with a hammer, the whole world looks like a nail."
Science marches on!

The Thought Criminal 10:29 AM
NPR hauled out the old Gorilla thing again? Last time I heard that on NPR was as a means of excusing cops who witnessed other cops savagely beating up one of their colleagues who happened to be black. NPR recycles stuff like those check out counter women's magazines do these days. There must be come kind of research to do figuring out how many times they put that in a story as well as Leon Fleischer's repetitive stress injury, "As Time Goes By" (probably Stamburg again), and Les Paul.
I think from this we can make conclusions about people in gorilla costumes at sporting events and people trying to apply that to things not known to be related to ersatz gorillas appearing at sporting events in order to claim that whatever they want to explain is "scientifically explained". The credulity of journalists for that kind of stuff is astounding.

6 'AHS: Freak Show' & 'Asylum' Connection Predictions That Could Turn This "Curtain Call" Finale On Its Head
By Kelly Schremph
Regardless of how you feel about the season as a whole, you can't deny that American Horror Story: Freak Show has been quite the interesting ride. Of course, I could pretty much say that about every season of this show in general: each one leaving us a little more messed up that we were before. However, what made this year so particularly intriguing was the realization that all AHS seasons are connected in some way, offering up a whole new realm of possibilities to fans. Theories began popping up just as frequently as dead bodies (so, like, a lot) — most of which centered around the Asylum and Freak Show worlds. And now that the series is about to debut Season 4's final "Curtain Call," I can't help but wonder if Ryan Murphy has any other surprising connections in store before closing the book on this particularly twisted chapter.
We now know the heart-wrenching tale of how Pepper came to be at Briarcliff as well as the fact that Dr. Arthur Arden was responsible for amputating Elsa's legs during that nightmare-inducing snuff film in the 1930s — further proof that the sadistic doctor was even more messed up than we originally thought. But surely there's bound to be more connections than just this, which is why I've gone ahead and predicted how the AHS: Freak Show finale could go about establishing more Asylum tie-ins. Let the speculation begin!
Dandy's Therapist Is Revealed to Be Bloody Face
As I've mentioned before, it feels very telling that Murphy chose not to reveal the face of Dandy's therapist throughout their sessions together. Could this be because he's actually Dr. Oliver Thredson: killer of women? The whole concept piqued my curiosity enough that I was inspired to go back to those Asylum episodes for further clues. Remember that detail about how Bloody Face liked to drain his victims of all of their blood? Perhaps he got the idea from a previous patient…
Now that Dandy owns the sideshow, he could decide to schedule one more session with his mysterious therapist to pass on the good news, giving viewers the opportunity to finally see his face, And just like that, BOOM: villain worlds collide. Hey, if the creepy mask fits!
Jimmy Gets Abducted By Aliens & Reprogrammed
OK, I know this one may be a bit of a stretch, but what if Jimmy Darling is Kit Walker. You know how the aliens took a real liking to Evan Peters' character in Asylum to the point of doing experiments on him? Well, what if that's not the only time he was abducted? What if they originally found him as Jimmy — wooden lobster claws and all — and decided to give him normal hands while completely reprogramming him with a new identity? Am I crazy? Maybe. But something has to explain that whole alien storyline. So why not this?
Sam Goodman Goes to Hollywood
Remember back when Sister Jude hired Nazi investigator Sam Goodman to look into Arden's past? Well, what if he learned about Elsa's little snuff film and decided to track her down for questioning? Perhaps she's even the one who informs Sam of his real name, Hans Gruper. Not a big enough connection for you? Well, how about if during his little chat, Sam notices Elsa's striking resemblance to Jude (I mean, who wouldn't?) and discovers that the two of them are actually twin sisters. Too bad a possessed Sister Mary Eunice killed him before he could pass on that information to his client. Things might've turned out very differently if he had.
Arden's Experiments Are Freak Show Survivors
As we saw all throughout Asylum, Dr. Arden liked to inject the inmates with different infections in the hopes of making them super-humans. However, the side effects were usually quite disturbing and transformed their appearances beyond recognition (i.e. Shelley). What if some of those test subjects were from Jupiter, Florida? There's a good chance that the remaining survivors of Elsa's troupe (if there are any) will end up institutionalized like poor Pepper. They too may up at Briarcliff, but thanks to Arden's devilish deeds, we simply were unable to recognize them.
Dandy Has a Daughter?
Who could forget that not-so-innocent looking girl who visited Briarcliff with her mother? You know the one. She kept blaming a tall, bearded man in a brown coat for all the fatal stabbings that seemed to take place around her. But, of course, we knew she was the one responsible, even going so far as to kill her own brother, sister, and mother. But what about her father? He's never mentioned. Perhaps Dandy disregards his mother's previous warning about prophylactics and ends up getting a woman pregnant during the finale. She never tells the dark and mysterious man about his baby girl's existence, but that doesn't mean the child won't still develop some of his murderous tendencies.
The Honeymooners Come to Jupiter
While some couples dream of spending their honeymoon along the beaches of Hawaii, Leo and Teresa Morrison (who look an awful lot like Adam Levine and Jenna Dewan Tatum) opted to go around having sex in the 12 most haunted places in America. (And they say romance is dead!) So what if Freak Show, during the last few moments in the finale, jumps ahead to the year 2011 where the exact same couple step right up to what's left of Elsa's Cabinet of Curiosities. For all we know, an old and decrepit Dandy still keeps watch over the place and begins talking to the happy couple, filling them in on a bit of the sinister history. And just as they're about to take off, they inform him of their next stop: Braircliff. "Have a safe trip," Dandy replies, while we as the audience know it will be anything but.

Severe convective storms represent the highest aggregate losses for insurers in Australia
The memory is still fresh: Large hailstones, some the size of tennis balls, hit the Australian metropolis of Sydney in a powerful hailstorm in December 2018. The result was a loss in the billions. And before the start of the next thunderstorm season in September, the question arose again: will climate change increase the frequency or intensity of such events in the future? In fact, there is no reason to assume that such severe events will not reoccur again any time soon and the question arises as to whether the risk is appropriately priced.
Dr. Jan Eichner
Losses from severe convective storms, in particular from hail, represent the most frequent and (on an annual aggregate basis) the highest losses for the insurance industry in the entire Australian natural catastrophe insurance business. Seven of the ten most expensive (inflation-adjusted) insured convective storm losses in Australia have occurred within the last ten years.
© epa-Bildfunk / picture alliance
Over the last 39 years, accumulated losses (all in Australian CPI-adjusted values for 2018) from severe convective storms amount to around A$ 20.5bn for insured losses and A$ 33.6bn for direct economic losses. Compared to other perils in Australia, only losses from flood events attain similar proportions. In terms of frequency, losses from severe convective storms account for around 50% of all loss-producing natural hazard events occuring in Australia.
The costliest insured loss event in Australia to date (after adjusting for inflation) was the Sydney hailstorm of 1999. In the early evening of 14 April − untypically late in the season − a supercell storm had developed south of Sydney in the area around Kiama. It moved northwards, parallel to the coastline, via Wollongong, across Botany Bay, straight to central Sydney and further north to Palm Beach, up as far as Gosford over a distance of more than 200 km. The storm produced hailstones the size of cricket balls (7 cm), reaching its maximum intensity around the eastern suburbs of Sydney.
On its path, it caused damage to more than 45,000 houses, 63,000 cars, 23 planes and countless boats, resulting in more than 120,000 insurance claims. The total amount of insured losses reached A$ 1.7bn, and the estimated direct economic losses stood at ver A$ 2.3bn at the time. Adjusted for inflation, those values today would be equivalent to A$ 3.1bn and A$ 4.2bn respectively. Accounting for the increase in wealth and assets since 1999 (using local GDP growth as a proxy), the values could reach as much as A$ 5.1bn and A$ 7bn.
Brisbane hailstorm of 2014 produced the largest hailstones
In November 2014, a rather short-lived and localised but intense hailstorm battered the Brisbane area. The supercell produced hailstones even larger than those in 1999, and hit central parts of Brisbane during rush hour, causing damage to some 60,000 cars. The roofs, windows and claddings of more than 22,000 homes and commercial buildings were damaged, and about 30 people were injured. The number of insurance claims exceeded 100,000, with a total insured loss of A$ 1.5bn, and a direct economic loss estimated at A$ 1.9bn.
The Brisbane area is hit by hailstorms quite frequently. The most severe event affecting Brisbane prior to 2014 occurred in 1985. It caused insured losses of A$ 180m and about A$ 360m in direct economic losses, which is A$ 570m and A$ 1.2bn in CPI-adjusted values.
Two other recent prominent convective storm events with large hailstones and significant flash floods occurred in March 2010, affecting Melbourne and Perth, and one in December 2018 in Sydney. Each event generated insured losses of between A$ 1.3bn and 1.4bn, with the Perth event becoming the most expensive natural disaster in Western Australia.
Sydney hailstorm of 1999 was the costliest natural disaster in australia for insurers
Most of the losses from severe convective storms in Australia arise from hail and flash floods. Large hailstones cause damage to the roofing, windows and cladding of buildings, as well as hull damage to automobiles, trains, planes and boats. Once a roof is damaged, the accompanying rain can cause substantial damage to the interior and contents of the damaged property. Small hailstones can be harmful to certain crops, especially during the growing stage of the agricultural cycle. Flash floods inundate cars (which usually involves a total loss of the vehicle), as well as flooding basements and ground floors, damaging both contents and the structure of affected buildings.
In Australia, tornadoes − though potentially the most devastating of the perils in a severe thunderstorm − do not occur frequently and intensely enough to rival the losses from hail and flash floods. Downbursts and strong wind gusts also cause damage (in particular from flying debris).

Distribution of thunderstorms
Thunderstorms can happen throughout the year, but the season when the storms are most frequent and severe is September to April. In addition to the annual season, other external factors such as the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in the equatorial Pacific have a measurable influence on thunderstorm activity in Australia (although the impact on the spatial distribution of thunderstorm occurrence is greater than on intensities).
The meteorological hazard probability, i.e. the areas where severe hail and strong thunderstorms are most frequent, is shown in Map 1, together with the locations of historic hailstorm loss events from the Munich Re NatCatSERVICE database.
The big red dots over the cities of Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth mark the largest loss events. The map confirms that the highest meteorological probability of significant hail coincides with the historic large losses experienced in major metropolitan areas of Australia.
The correlation between the most highly exposed areas and greatest values at risk is unlikely to change, given that an increasing number of people want to live close to the coast and the majority of the population is concentrated in the eastern states. A reduction in the frequency of severe convective storm events cannot be expected, and owing to the ever-increasing exposure of values at risk, focusing on risk mitigation is paramount. Investing in new technologies and using materials that perform better in severe weather is therefore key. Individual risk rating has a major influence on risk behaviour, and it is essential to charge the appropriate price for exposure, since it will take time for improved materials to flow through the housing and vehicle stock.

Hi lovelies, I know it's been awhile but I'm still around.
I've been trying to enjoy my vacation as much as possible and see as many of my awesome friends as I can. This has made it a bit challenging to actually sit and compose a proper blog post.
However, I just wanted to do a quick little product review for you.
I'm always on a mission to achieve healthy beautiful skin by using only natural products.
One of the products I came across while perusing the blogosphere was Aztec Indian Healing Clay. It is made from 100% Calcium Bentonite clay which is a powerful and effective imgredient for ridding the skin of impurities which eventually leads to a healthy and glowing complexion. Sign me up please!
It is such a simple process to add to your skin care routine. The clay should be mixed with Apple Cider Vinegar with a 1:1 ratio. I've read reviews of people reacting strongly to the acidity of th vinegar and have substituted it for water. I didn't have a reaction. Mix it into a paste and apply to skin. You can use it on your face, on your neck, any area where you suffer from acne or have insect bites.
Leave it on for up to 10 minutes if you have sensitive skin or 20 if you have normal skin.
While the mask is on, you will feel it tingling and pulling a little. That means it's drawing the impurities from your skin. Halleluyer!
This is what it looks like when first applied.
After 20 minutes with it on. It's now dry and ready to be removed.
Lol, my bestie and I being silly.
I used a wash cloth to help remove the dried clay. It took all of five minutes to get it off.
My skin felt amazing and all those little yuckies in the pores on my nose seemed to have disappeared. Nothing seems to work on those suckers.
It didn't dry out my skin or irritate it.
I plan on incorporating this into my weekly beauty regimen.
It's available on Amazon.com, Iherb.com and a bunch of other health websites.
Well I hope you give this a try. I think it's pretty awesome!


"The fundamental principle of decency at work underlies all labour standards legislation..." Fairness at Work: Federal Labour Standards for the 21st Century.
In terms of employee rights, we've come an awful long way from 1872. That was the first ever year of our annual Labour Day parade. Back then – if you can imagine this – it was still a crime to be a member of a union in Canada, under the law of criminal conspiracy.
This initial parade called for the release of 24 imprisoned leaders of the Toronto Typographical Union. They'd been arrested for going on strike to (gasp) reduce their work week to a mere 58 hours! Today that standard workweek is between 40 to 48 hours.
Clearly workplace laws have improved dramatically since that Draconian period. Yet many employees still don't know what their rights and obligations are. Since being informed can help you stand up for yourself in your job, we've assembled some helpful resources for you.
Hours of work, minimum wages, sick days, vacation and severance provisions…all of these and many more related items are spelled out as Employment Standards. These are the are the minimum standards established by law that define and guarantee rights in the workplace.
Most workers in Canada - about 90 percent - are protected by the employment laws of their province or territory. Each province and territory has its own legislation. It's compulsory to place an Employment Standards Act poster in plain sight of employees for workplaces covered by this legislation.
The other 10% of Canadian employees work in places that are federally regulated. If you are such an employee, the Labour Program administers the federal labour standards that define employment conditions in your place of work. Find out if you work in a federally regulated business or industry. If so your employment is governed by the Canada Labour Code.
The Canadian Human Rights Act (CHRA) prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender, race, ethnicity, age and a number of other grounds. It came into force back in 1985. Since then it has been updated ongoingly.
Another piece of legislation in this area is the Employment Equity Act (EEA), which falls under the Department of Justice Canada. These laws are meant to protect the rights of four "designated groups" in particular: women, people with disabilities, Aboriginal people, and visible minorities.
The Canadian Human Rights Act functions alongside the Employment Equity Act. The major difference between the two is that the CHRA prohibits discrimination in general, whereas the EEA requires employers to use measures that improve employment opportunities for the four designated groups.
Would you like to learn more about what your rights are if you get downsized or your employer goes bankrupt? How about health and safety regulations that are meant to shield you from harm?
Basic Workplace Standards by Province – A brief comparison of minimum wages, paid public holidays, pregnancy and parental leave, hours of work and overtime, etc.
Workrights.ca - Gives you information on the labour codes to your province, and to compare practices in your region with those of other provinces and territories in Canada.
Canadian Labour Congress – CLC brings together Canada's national and international unions, the provincial and territorial federations of labour and 130 district labour councils.
Think you know your rights as an employee? Probably not as well as you should. For instance, there's a general misconception that salaried employees (as distinct from hourly workers) are automatically excluded from the Employment Standards Act. Not true. If you're, say, an Executive Assistant earning $44,000 a year, you could still be entitled to overtime after working 44 hour weeks consistently, depending on the province of employment.
If you feel that your rights are being violated, try having a talk with your Human Resources department or union representative. Should expert advice be needed you should contact an employment lawyer.
130 years ago they were putting Canadians who went on strike into prison. Sure, we've evolved enormously since that time. But only by knowing your basic rights – and reaching out for advice when necessary – can you protect yourself from arbitrary actions of unenlightened employers.

The Committee had before it a report regarding Planning Application No. CB/18/03161/REG3 for change of use from Care Home to transitional accommodation for individuals and families who will be supported by the Council to find future accommodation. It is proposed to convert existing layout to provide 13 self contained flats and 4 individual rooms with shared facilities. All accommodation on the ground floor will be suitable for use by disabled persons. The existing office accommodation will be retained for housing staff with an additional hot desk or 'set down' area created for other CBC staff. It is proposed to demolish the existing garage and workshop block to make way for extra parking facilities, at The Birches, Hitchin Road, Shefford, SG17 5JB.
In advance of consideration of the application the Committee's attention was drawn to additional consultation/publicity responses/additional comments and additional/amended conditions as set out in the Late Sheet as well as representations from public speakers.
The public speakers included a representation in objection from Town Councillor Paul Makin, a representation in objection from Mick Allen and a representation from the applicant in support from Carol Rooker.
• Some concern was raised about increased crime levels or anti social behaviour resulting from the change of use. Clarity was given on the type of people and families which could be using the accommodation and the possible circumstances that could lead to them residing there. It was noted that all potential residents would be classed as low risk, there would be drive by security and CCTV and one FTE member of staff during working hours as well as facility for other staff to hot desk. The Planning Officer added there is an identified housing need for this type of accommodation for the local community.
• Members agreed that the proposed parking provision was excessive. Members wanted to retain more of the garden as outside amenity space. The Planning Officer agreed to condition the retention of the garden space in the application.
• Members raised concerns over the proposed condition 2 – to use obscure glazing over non bathroom windows. Members agreed that this was not a necessary condition. The Planning Officer agreed that this condition could be removed.
• Members agreed to move as set out with the additions of conditions 7 and 8 in the late sheet, the amendment of condition 4 in the late sheet, the removal of condition 2 and for a condition removing the excessive parking and retaining more of the garden to be worded by the officers and added to the application.
On being put to the vote for APPROVAL, 11 voted in favour, 1 against and 1 abstention.

Outline Application for up to 150 new homes and provision of a new lower school site following demolition of existing site buildings (including No19 Queen Elizabeth Close) (all matters reserved except access).
The Committee had before it a report regarding Planning Application No. CB/18/02298/OUT an outline application for up to 150 new homes and provision of a lower school site following demolition of existing site buildings (including No19 Queen Elizabeth Close) (all matters reserved except access) at Land West of Hitchin Road Shefford, nearest post code, SG17 5JB.
In advance of consideration of the application the Committee's attention was drawn to additional consultation and additional comments as set out in the Late Sheet as well as representations from public speakers.
The public speakers included a representation in objection from Town Councillor Ken Pollard and a representation in objection from Ian Rawet.
• The main concern of local residents represented at the meeting was the demolition of No 19 Queen Elizabeth Close. The Planning Officer reported that the provision of an access through Queen Elizabeth Close was not necessary, for the reasons set out in the Committee Report. Planners were asked to strengthen condition 14 which explained there would be no access via Queen Elizabeth Close, but Permitted Development Rights of the existing dwellings would prohibit this. The Planning Officer was satisfied that the condition was adequate as it stood.
• Members noted there were concerns of traffic speeding in the area surrounding proposed access, as reported in the speed survey. The Planning Officer drew the Committees attention to Condition 7 which specifies a roundabout and condition 8 which specifies a zebra crossing be provided in immediate vicinity of the roundabouts northern arm, both to be constructed before the occupation of any dwelling.
• A Ward Member made a number of recommendations to be considered as part of the Reserve Matters application. The Planning Officers agreed to take these forward as informative to the applicant and for Ward Members to be involved in the detailed application stage.
• Members discussed the benefits of this application, in particular, the provision of a school site and the NHS contribution within the proposed S106 agreement.
• Members addressed the Education Officer in attendance to clarify when the school could be delivered. It was envisaged this would be in 2021 but that would depend on additional funding. The Planning Officer noted that the transfer of land for the school to the council would happen within a certain time limit and the trigger points for funding contributions for the school would be front loaded.
• Members agreed that construction times as set out in Condition 1 should be truncated and the Planning Officer agreed to have a discussion with the applicant.
• Members were disappointed that the application did not include condition for Public Art provision. It was noted that the policy is still being developed. Members agreed that the condition should be included and the Planning Officer would add this to the application should Members be minded to approve.
• Members agreed to move as set out with the additions of condition 1 being amended to reflect truncation of construction ... view the full minutes text for item 87.
Cllr Mrs Clark left the Council Chamber during consideration of this item. She took no part in the vote.
Erection of 161 dwellings with 35% Affordable Housing, including an access road, landscaping and all associated ancillary works on land to the south of Arlesey Road.
The public speakers included a representation in objection from Town Councillor Brian Collier, a representation in objection from Tim Poulston and a representation on behalf of the applicant in support from Nick Laugharne.
• Members discussed local concern around a parking issues within this area, particularly around school dropping off and picking up times. The Highways Officer reported he did not see the application would add to this as the homes would be located as such, children would walk to school. He added that a task force had previously looked into the matter and proposed a parking ban around these times. Congestion to the nearby A507 was also discussed, the Planning Officer added that there would be no serious threat to highways safety, therefore that would not be a consideration for refusal of the application.
• A Ward Member voiced concerns over sustainability of the development, stating lack of amenity and waiting times in the local surgery along with the loss of the major employer within the area. It was noted that the employer was looking to relocate within the village. The Planning Officer added that the development was seen as sustainable from a planning perspective and did not represent over development within the area and it would contribute £1.8m towards education.
• It was noted that the number of houses proposed in Stotfold was significantly higher than the original number specified in the 2009 core development strategy. Members noted that new planning policies, housing supply demands and different policy contexts have contributed to this rise, along with the NPPF standpoint to encourage housing growth.
• A discussion was had around clarity of funding to a free school. Although free schools are funded via the ESFA, it was agreed that it was only right and proper that the developer make a contribution via S106 to education and weight should be given to the developer agreeing to those conditions.
• Members agreed to add an informative with regards to Public Art provision.
• Members discussed condition 5 which addressed the lighting plan and asked that LED lights consistent with what is already used be specified.
• Members asked that a wearing course be conditioned.
• Members asked that condition 18 for electric vehicle charging points for each dwelling be amended to include public charging points.
• Members agreed to move as set out with the additions of conditions and amended conditions as set out in the late sheet, the addition of a specification of LED lights in condition ... view the full minutes text for item 88.
Cllr Mrs Clark re-entered the Council Chamber during consideration of this item. She took no part in the discussion or vote.
Erection of a new building/extension for storage. This is a revised version of CB/18/01299/FULL.

In advance of consideration of the application the Committee's attention was drawn to additional consultation/publicity responses and additional/amended conditions as set out in the Late Sheet as well as representations from public speakers.
The public speakers included a representation in objection from Town Councillor Nigel Aldis, a representation in objection from Julian Shuba and a representation from an agent for the applicant in support from Graham Robinson.
• Members noted there was an ongoing enforcement issue with the applicant on an adjacent site and a history of retrospective planning applications, but that they did not directly relate to the current application.
• A major concern of a neighbour was the hobby activities taking place without the proper permissions on the application site. The activities included the storing and moving of military vehicles. Members suggested that Condition 4 be strengthened to limit the use, to only be used for storage of materials and so forth as suggested in condition 4 and that the deed of variation of the legal agreement, which includes hours of operations, was updated to state no activities on site outside of working hours. The Planning Officer reported that the applicant has agreed to remove all hobby related vehicles and if they were found to be stored there in future it would be contrary to the application conditions and would constitute a change of use.
• After discussion a Member stated he thought the amendments to conditions as above were unnecessary and moved to approve the application as set out in the officers report, without the amended conditions.
On being put to the vote for APPROVAL, 5 voted in favour, 7 against and 1 abstention. The motion was lost.
• Members agreed to move as set out with the additions of the strengthened condition 4 to include wording to limit the use, to only be used for storage of materials and so forth as suggested in condition 4 and that the deed of variation of the legal agreement, which includes hours of operations, was updated as per the officers report and to further state no activities on site outside of working hours. and the amendment to conditions 6 in the late sheet.
On being put to the vote for APPROVAL, 8 voted in favour, 3 against and 2 abstentions.
That the Planning Application No. CB/18/02439/FULL at Grange Nurseries, The Green, Beeston, Sandy, SG19 1PG, be approved as set out in the schedule attached to these minutes.
Outline Application – Proposed residential development of 24 units and all ancillary works.
The Committee had before it a report regarding Planning Application No. CB/18/01628/OUT an outline application for development of 22 units and all ancillary works at Land off Hitchin Road, Clifton, nearest postcode SG17 5RS.
In advance of consideration of the application the Committee's attention was drawn to additional comments and amended conditions as set out in the Late Sheet as well as representations from public speakers. The Committee were also verbally updated on the revised wording of condition 7.
The public speakers included a representation in objection from Parish Councillor Ray Dart and a representation in objection from Roger Manning.
• Concerns over Hitchin Lane becoming a rat run to access the A507 and parking issues in Hitchin Lane were discussed. The Planning officer advised that the Highway Authority has raised no objection to this proposal in relation to highway safety or capacity. Any link road between New Road and Hitchin Lane is subject to a separate application which has yet to be determined, and although a material consideration the impact of such a link is not caused by this proposal.
• It was advised that the proposed development would need to meet the Council's car parking standards, whereby the existing on street car parking on Hitchin Lane should therefore not be made materially worse. Any improvements to car parking provision for existing properties on Hitchin Lane was beyond the existing scope of the application and it would not be reasonable to impose an obligation or condition upon this development that would require such improvements.
• It was alleged that the nearby 'Crown Pub' roundabout was at capacity in the mornings. The Highways officer responded that as the application was for 22 dwellings there had been no requirement for a transport assessment (the threshold is 50 dwellings). He added that due to the scale of the proposal that the development would not have a severe impact on the capacity of the highway network and would therefore be considered acceptable.
• Advice was sought in relation as to whether it was reasonable to require traffic calming on Hitchin Lane and whether this could be shared with the Mears site. It was advised by the Planning and Highways Officers that any link road between New Road and Hitchin Lane is subject to a separate application which has yet to be determined, and although a material consideration the impact of such a link is not caused by this proposal. It was advised that the outline planning permission and S106 agreements for the Mears Development had already been issued and signed, whereby no additional conditions or obligations from that development could be imposed. It was advised that an obligation or condition would need to pass the relevant tests which include whether the traffic calming measures were reasonable and necessary. It was advised that such obligations upon a cul-de-sac development would not generate traffic which would make traffic calming reasonable or necessary. Members determined not to seek such conditions ... view the full minutes text for item 90.
CLLR MRS CLARK LEFT THE MEETING DURING THIS ITEM AND WAS NO LONGER PRESENT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE MEETING.
Single storey rear extension, loft conversion and raised decking area.
The Committee had before it a report regarding Planning Application No. CB/18/03090/FULL for a single story rear extension, loft conversion and raised decking area at 51 Hardy Way, Fairfield, Hitchin, SG5 4GL.
In advance of consideration of the application the Committee's attention was drawn to representations from public speakers.
The public speaker included a representation in objection from Parish Councillor Chris Bidwell.
• The public speaker noted that he had received complaints from neighbouring properties about the overbearing impact the application could have on their properties. The Planning Officer had not received any neighbour objection.
• A Ward Member discussed the commitment to great design the committee should have going forward using Fairfield as an example. Members agreed it was important to keep the character of the area but noted the extension was to the rear of the property lessening the impact on the character and appearance of the area.
• The Planning Officer noted that the plans feature a rear dormer and this could be constructed under permitted development rights so therefore the committee could not refuse that element even though it is contrary to policy 1 of the Fairfield neighbourhood plan. It was noted that many properties within Fairfield do not have permitted development rights to protect the character of the area. The applicant's property does have these rights.
• Members agreed to move as set out.
On being put to the vote for APPROVAL, 9 voted in favour, 2 against and 1 abstention.
That the Planning Application No. CB/18/03090/FULL at 51 Hardy Way, Fairfield, Hitchin, SG5 4GL, be approved as set out in the schedule attached to these minutes.
Outline Application – A residential development of up to 58 dwellings including all ancillary works on land to the rear and side of Hampden House, Hitchin Road, Arlesey with all matters reserved except access following the demolition of the existing buildings on the site.
The Committee had before it a report regarding Planning Application No. CB/18/00196/OUT an outline application for a residential development of up to 58 dwellings including all ancillary works on land to the rear and side of Hampden House with all matters reserved except access following the demolition of the existing buildings on the site at Land to rear and side of Hampden House, Hitchin Road, Arlesey, SG15 6RS.
There were no public speakers or additions in the late sheet.
• A concern of the Town Council over loss of employment land was discussed. The Planning Officer reported that the current buildings have become unlettable due to new EPC Regulations making them too expensive to bring up to standard.
• The proximity of the proposed dwellings to the cement works raised questions over noise issues. The Planning Officer said the developer has gone through noise testing and this will be addressed through conditions and scrutinised at the reserve matters stage.
• The loss of HGV movement within the area was seen as a positive and balanced against the new vehicle movements which would be a consequence of the new dwellings.
• It was noted that MANOP had not been consulted on this application, it was agreed to consult them at reserve matters stage.
• Members agreed that this was not a very 'green' application and asked planners for an informative to make it as green as possible and that reserve matters should include provision for electrical vehicle charging points at every parking space.
• Members agreed to move as set out with the additions of the green informative and that reserve matters application should include provision for electrical vehicle charging points at every parking space.
On being put to the vote for APPROVAL, 10 voted in favour, 1 against and 1 abstention.
That the Planning Application No. CB/18/00196/OUT at Land to rear and side of Hampden House, Hitchin Road, Arlesey, SG15 6RS, be approved as set out in the schedule attached to these minutes.

In advance of consideration of the application the Committee's attention was drawn to representations from a public speaker.
The public speaker included a representation in objection from Town Councillor James Carroll.
• Other buildings in the area had copper roofs, most notably the church spire.
• It was noted that the copper, which would turn green with time to match with the church and other buildings, was a major selling point within the public consultation and an important aspect of the design.
• The cost implication to move to zinc would amount to £120k saving.

G is for Gingers: Is Monochrome Still In?
Shirt- New Look. Pinafore- River Island. Footless tights- Primark. Boots-Marco Tozzi.
I've already shown this pinafore on my blog and to be honest I don't think I've worm it since. I was fed up of always wearing it with a black top under because I felt like it was over powering with the one colour. However recently I thought of wearing this white shirt underneath. I love the look that this has created. Any other ideas of how to wear this pinafore?
I wore this shopping with mum a few weeks ago so wore my fleece lined leggings to keep warm- thankfully it was quite a warm day so I was perfectly warm just going out like this. I know I probably mentioned that I am so happy to have my boots back- they are so comfy and I could wander round the shops all day. Over all I am very happy with this outfit- what do you think?


There are a wide variety of printer brands on the market. Aside from that, they come in many different models, too. Many ink manufacturers have also tried to manufacture printers which are easier to use. The leading companies that manufacture printers have also improved the quality of prints with the latest and the newest printer models. Some printers can be considered to be better compared with the others basing on their quality, features, and the quality of prints that they produce.
Printers aren't really expensive these days. Certain printer models are being offered in various stores at lower prices so that everyone who owns a computer will be able to afford them. Some companies or stores may even give out printers as a freebie for their customers who purchased a new computer. HP printers come with a free HP laser toner or ink cartridge. Most printers come with free ink cartridges, too.
If you do own a printer, then you must already have known about the fact that most ink cartridges and toners don't come cheap. Most of them are costly, especially colored ink cartridges. Some buyers have claimed that although they may have to spend a lot on original cartridges, they are usually worth every penny because they do not run out easily.
Now if you no longer have HP laser toner or if your printer has recently run out of ink, you will have to buy new cartridges or have them refilled. There are various stores within your city from which you could purchase printer ink toners and cartridges. All you need to do is to take note of your printer brand, make or model, so that the salesperson will know which size or type of toner could fit into your printer.
There a few ways in which you could get to save more in buying cartridges and HP laser toner. In fact, you can try to search for the best deals on products like this online. Certain websites can give you some useful tips on how to look for the cheapest deals online.
Aside from that, you may as well purchase inks and toners in bulk.

2015 Game By Game Prediction and Summary
By Larry Burton

By: Larry Burton
Though it's way too early, let's look at the schedule, make some predictions with some quick "game summaries" to boot. These predictions are based on early practice and just intuition based on years of covering a Nick Saban team.
Sept 5th – Alabama vs Wisconsin at Neutral Feild in Dallas, Texas – Both teams show some early season mistakes. Alabama has an early turnover on offense that results in three points for Wisconsin and Alabama gets burned on one long pass that results in a quick touchdown. Wisconsin proves not to be up to the task of stopping Alabama's rushing attack and Alabama controls most of the tempo in this game.
Alabama plays two quarterbacks and neither is a clear victor but both do well enough for the Tide to roll as they do in most opening contests and Alabama gets a little Big 10 revenge in this win. Alabama 27 – Wisconsin 17.
Sept. 12th – Middle Tennessee vs Alabama in Tuscaloosa – Alabama runs at will and Alabama's passing game has a big day as Nick Saban wants to settle the quarterback problem and let's Lane Kiffin air it out. Both quarterbacks do well, but finally Cornwell gets a little clear distance between himself the backup to be, which would be Jacob Coker.
The defense goes three and four deep at some positions and still manage to pitch a shutout. While the defensive secondary looks to be a work in progress going in the right direction, you still have to remember this is Middle Tennessee and not the Vols. Alabama 42 – Middle Tennessee 0
Sept. 19th – Ole Miss vs Alabama in Tuscaloosa – Simply put, payback is a bitch and the Tide have been waiting to dish it out to the Rebels since last season's defeat in Oxford. Alabama controls the game with a solid running game and Cornwell mixes enough passes in to keep the Rebs off balance.
But on the bad side for Tide fans, the defensive backfield shows some problems to be ironed out with penalties and they are giving up too many third down conversions and that clearly doesn't sit well with Nick Saban. The prediction is, they give the rest of the SEC the game plan that to beat the Tide the easiest way is to go through to the defensive secondary. Last season Ole Miss won 23-17 and this year Alabama returns the favor 31-17.
Sept. 26th – Louisiana Monroe vs Alabama in Tuscaloosa – This isn't the same kind of dangerous Louisiana Monroe team that once defeated the mighty Tide and players want to remind the Warhawks that an Elephant never forgets. This game goes exactly as it should with the Tide moving the ball at will including some exciting long plays.
While the secondary still gives up a few plays on third down, they seem to be coming around. The question is, will they look this good against their next SEC opponent? Alabama 42 – Louisiana Monroe 3.
Oct. 3rd – Alabama vs Georgia at Athens – Most thinks this could only be round one as these two teams could very well see each other again in the SEC Championship Game at the end of the season. Georgia makes the big mistake of thinking they can run on the Tide as Ohio State did in the national championship playoffs last season, but though Chubbs and company are no doubt good, they aren't quite up to it.
However Alabama's secondary was in a run stop frame of mind and gets exploited more than Kirby Smart had planned for and the Dogs are able to keep it close because the Alabama offense sputters for most of the first half. In the end though, Alabama's quality depth helps wear down the Dogs and Bama squeaks out a win between the hedges. Alabama 27 – Georgia 24.
October 10th – Arkansas vs Alabama in Tuscaloosa – Alabama fans find it hard to believe that last season, the Crimson Tide was just plain lucky to have not lost their second game in a row in 2014 to the Hogs. Alabama's offense was simply horrendous as Blake Sims didn't look capable of throwing a rock in the ocean for much of the game and the running game was shut down for the most part for most of the game as well. Had Arkansas not fumbled the ball out of the end zone while trying to score, Alabama's season would have been much different.
But that was in Arkansas with the Hogs sky high and the Tide as flat as a blown tire. This year the Tide will field a much better throwing quarterback and the game will be in Tuscaloosa. This won't be a game the Crimson Tide will take as lightly as last season and the results will show up on the scoreboard. Alabama's defense controls the runs and Arkansas' passing game won't win the day. Alabama 28 – Arkansas 17.
Oct. 17th – Alabama vs Texas A&M in College Station – Texas A&M figures the way to beat the Tide is to let the ball fly and this could be the biggest test to a still questionable secondary yet. On defense, the Aggies plan to stop the run and force the Alabama quarterback to beat them with his arm. John Chavis, the new Aggie defensive coordinator has always given Alabama fits and he plans to do that one more time.
The problem is, that while A&M has a good pass rush, they still have shaky pass defenders and the Alabama quarterbacks have a good day. Also, the passing game sets up the running game and while Chavis is one of the best, it's just too soon to see the results. Alabama puts up just too many points and the Aggies while have some success in the air, fall short of the upset. Alabama 31 – Texas A&M 24.
Oct. 24th – Tennessee vs Alabama in Tuscaloosa – Tennessee has been watching the Alabama secondary get picked on all season and they think they have the quarterback and the offense to do more than they others have been able to do this season. They also think they have a stingier defense than the Aggies were able to field.
But like Alabama, the Vols come into this game beat up from a brutal first half schedule that included Oklahoma, Florida, Arkansas and Georgia. But unlike Alabama, they don't have the quality depth to absorb the crush and bruises and it starts to show once the opening few series have been run. Still, they make a game out of it but Alabama wins at home as it should. Alabama 28 – Tennessee 20.
Nov. 7th, – LSU vs Alabama in Tuscaloosa – Forget the problems that LSU has had so far this season, this is a grudge game that has a life of it's own and it will be another war. These contests are usually close fought defensive struggles and again this season, the hits will be brutal and the day will be long. But the game is really won by the tough Alabama defense.
Quarterback plays hamstrings the Tigers, but the running game keeps them in this contest along with an opportunistic defense. Ironically, the Alabama defensive secondary provides the big plays with a key pick that turns the momentum once and for all. Alabama 24 – LSU 13.
Nov. 14th – Alabama vs Mississippi State in Starkville – This could be the trap game that Alabama fans have feared. A brutal schedule has the Tide tired and beat up and this bunch of Bulldogs know it and have them in their home stadium. Dak Prescott plays one of his best games and the Tide will have to suck up all the reserve the have to try and keep pace. Prescott is just the kind of mobile quarterback that has given the Tide fits before.
This is a game that could go either way with a turnover or bad miscue. Alabama will rely on punter JK Scott to give them some added space for the defense to defend and it could be the difference. Nick Saban teams stumble each season, this could be that stumble. Alabama 27 – Mississippi State 26.
Nov. 21st. – Charleston Southern vs Alabama in Tuscaloosa – Let's face it, this is the closest thing to an off week the Tide could have and it's at a time that they need it the most.
Nick won't rub it in as bad as he could and everyone in a uniform should see playing time in this one. Alabama 35 – Charleston Southern O.
Nov. 28th – Alabama vs Auburn at Auburn – This is the game that many though before the season would settle not only the SEC West, but the entire SEC. Auburn is counting on Will Muschamp to "unstink" the stinky Auburn defense of 2014.
But coaches alone won't make up the gap between stinky and great without talent and Auburn just doesn't have enough of that yet for the coach to make the difference. Alabama's offense has it's way over the still struggling defense and while the offense is good, it can't do it alone. Alabama 34 – Auburn 24.
Dec. 5th – SEC Championship Game – Alabama vs Georgia in Atlanta – Without a week to rest, both teams show up tired, beat up and yet still anxious to prove that the winner deserves a shot at a national title contest.
It's often said that the hardest thing for a team to do is beat the same team twice in one season and the Bulldogs feel they learned from their previous mistakes and are ready for round two. However, the Crimson Tide have learned much too and the defensive secondary has finally come around and the Alabama team is a much better one overall than faced the Bulldogs the first time around.
Alabama makes easier work of it this time around as Chubbs is hobbled with an injury and the Tide's offense is truly on a roll. Alabama 35 – Georgia 23.
As for the playoff games, it's still way to early to pick the other three, but this is an Alabama team that should be competitive with anyone.

Four-legged officer fights drug use in Clintonville
Posted on Sep 6, 2018, by Dave Horst, Donor Services & Environmental Grant Manager
By Emily Pappin
Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region
The Clintonville Police Department has welcomed a furry new member to the force. A $3,000 grant from the Clintonville Area Foundation has assisted in the training of a new narcotics detection and patrol K-9 named Charr, after the untimely loss of K-9 Chero last September.
"The calls received by the police department about drug dealing and using had increased drastically after the loss of K-9 Chero," said Sgt. Christopher Wendorf.
With an overall cost of $20,000 for a new dog, and complete reliance on fundraising for the costs of the K-9 Unit as a whole, Clintonville Police fought to continue the program with Charr. After five weeks of narcotics detection training and five weeks of patrol training, Charr is out protecting the community just like predecessor Chero.
On one call, Wendorf recalls Chero assisting the Wisconsin State Patrol.
"The trooper had stopped a vehicle where he had suspicion of drug activity," he said. Chero sniffed inside the car and indicated a piece of a straw in glove box had cocaine residue on it. "He also alerted to a passenger seat," Wendorf said, "and a subsequent search of that passenger revealed cocaine in the individual's waistband."
Charr and the Clintonville K-9 Unit are working hard to ensure the safety of their community.
"Just the mere presence of a K-9 Unit in a city the size of Clintonville already has an immeasurable impact on the possible crime and drug trafficking in the city," Wendorf said.

Woman tells Riverview police thief stole her…
Woman tells Riverview police thief stole her winning $40 million Mexican lottery ticket
(Jim Kasuba — MediaNews Group)
PUBLISHED: December 3, 2022 at 4:00 p.m. | UPDATED: December 3, 2022 at 4:52 p.m.
A stolen wallet at a rehabilitation facility in Riverview reportedly contained one extremely valuable slip of paper.
A police report was filed at approximately 11:45 a.m. Nov. 23, when an officer was sent to the facility in the 14000 block of Pennsylvania Road to speak with a patient about a recent larceny.
Parole board reverses course on Floyd Jarvi release
An officer met with the victim in her room, with one of her family members present.
She said that approximately two weeks earlier, a series of strange things happened to her. One day, she left her purse next to her bed and took a shower in the bathroom inside her room.
When she returned to her bed, the purse was not as she left it. She discovered that her wallet was missing from the purse. Inside the wallet was a lottery ticket that she purchased about a year ago. She told the officer she won the lottery, but never claimed the winnings.
The victim could not remember the exact amount of the jackpot, but believes the ticket was worth $40 million from the Mexican lottery. She told police she believed that whoever took her wallet also cashed in the ticket. She added that she signed the ticket, both front and back.
When the officer asked how she acquired a Mexican lottery ticket, she responded that she bought it at a bar downtown in August 2021.
She told police she didn't know the value of her missing wallet, but in addition to the lottery ticket, the wallet also contained her new identification card, as well as other cards and personal items.
