Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett will host the 10th Annual Senior Appreciation Picnic on Sept. 16 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at John Tarleton Park.
The picnic will include lunch, live music by The Chilbillies, animal exhibits and a vendor expo.
The event is free to all Knox County seniors. Any senior planning to attend is asked to RSVP by Sept. 9 by calling 865-215-4007.
A limited number of event t-shirts will be available on Sept. 1, 2016 to seniors registering for the picnic at one of the County's six senior centers, while supplies last. A list of centers and their locations can be found online at http://www.knoxcounty.org/seniors.
I first want to thank the people of the 4th District and Knox County for allowing me to serve you for the past 6 years, it has been my privilege and honor to do so. In my six years on commission I fought to try to keep Lakeshore Mental Hospital open. I knew if the hospital closed it would mean more mentally ill people on the streets or in our jails – and that is exactly what happened.
We need to build the Safety Center to take care of and help the mentally ill in our community get the services they need. I have always felt that the role of Government is to take care of the ones that can't care for themselves. To me, that would be the mentally ill, our seniors, children, and our veterans. I have spent my time on Commission trying to help those that need it most be heard. I have fought for the students, parents and teachers to give them a voice for better Knox County Schools. I wasn't the leader of the movement, but was glad to help give them a platform to speak from.
In the last six years this Commission and County Mayor Tim Burchett increased the schools budget by over 76 million dollars and paid down the County's debt by over 90 million dollars during the same time period. We did this without raising the taxes of the citizens of Knox County. We also built 2 new schools (Northshore Elementary and Carter Elementary) paying cash for Carter Elementary. We approved the building of two new middle schools (Hardin Valley and Gibbs) and approved the expansion of several others, including Ball Camp Elementary and Pond Gap Elementary – all without raising taxes.
I have also worked hard in my district on such projects as the new guard rails on Lyons Bend Drive, which we have needed for years. I proposed and helped pass a resolution updating our Pet Ordinance, which mirrors the City Ordinance, to better take care of our four legged friends – protecting them from extreme cold and extreme hot weather.
In my six years on Commission, I have answered every phone call (or returned the call) of every citizen who ever contacted me – never asking where they lived, because I felt that I served the County not just one District. I know that my decisions and votes have not always made everybody happy, but they were always thought out and researched before making a decision. I believed and still do believe in growing this County with good development, good paying jobs and with companies relocating to Knox County. Our Home Builders and the Knoxville Chamber have done a great job in finding great Companies that have chosen to make Knox County their home.
I have made some good friends on Commission over the last six years. First, my total opposite, Commissioner Broyles. We may not have always agreed on issues, but personally she has been a great friend, and our friendship has grown over the last 6 years. I look forward to continuing our friendship. Second is Commissioner and current Chairman, Dave Wright. He has been a good leader for our commission (probably one of our best) and an even better friend. I will miss your friendship, Dave. Some of our new Commissioners, I wish I had more time with. Commissioner Smith and Schoonmaker, I wish you all the best. I have enjoyed your friendship this short time. To the ladies in the Commission Office, thank you so much for your friendship and for always taking care of anything I needed done.
I will still be involved in the community and will continue to be the voice for individuals and issues that need me. I love this community and want to see it continue to get better and better. I have made a lot of friends in the last six years and hope to continue to help them and be there for anybody that needs me.
I have also made some political enemy's because my votes were my own – more independent thinking, and not always along party lines. I felt not everything is right or left, Republican or Democrat. Some would say I wasn't involved enough, which is not true. I feel I was very involved and always tried my best to make this community better. I hope I left my district and our county better than when I found it.
The Knoxville Center mall has new owners who say they want to work with the community to figure out the future of one of East Knox County's long-time landmarks and work to create a "thriving retail and residential hub" for the area.
Knoxville Partners, LLC announced on Friday that it purchased the 964,000-square-foot mall at 3001 Knoxville Center Drive off Interstate 640.
The announcement, made through a press release, said the partnership is between "two companies with extensive portfolios in the real estate construction and redevelopment in commercial, residential and mixed-use markets.
Sources have told WBIR 10news that Knoxville-based Henry & Wallace, which manages development projects, is one of the companies.
The news release did not say how much the partnership paid for the mall. The paperwork as of Monday morning had not been filed with the Knox County Register of Deeds Office.
The mall, which sits on almost 50 acres, was appraised at $31 million last year, according to the Knox County Property Assessor's Office.
The mall opened in 1984 as East Towne Mall and was owned, managed and operated by Simon Properties.
Simon, however, turned it over to WP Glimcher in 2014, but continued to manage it.
The new investors have long been interested in revitalizing the property and approached Simon four years ago, according to the news release. The investors then began negotiations with WP Glimcher in 2015 after the company announced its intentions to sell the mall.
Rebecca Everhart, who is with Henry & Wallace, told WBIR on Monday that the partnership would release more information at a later date.
The company, in its news release, said officials plan to meet with current and potential tenants, community groups, surrounding property owners and political leaders to further discuss the property's future.
Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett on Monday said he set up a meeting with those involved.
"I think it's been underutilized and I look forward to seeing some more business growth in East Knoxville," he said.
Knoxville City Councilman Nick Della Volpe recently put out a survey to community groups in the northeast quadrant and said the results showed people want to see things like more women's and children's clothing options, boutiques, and bakeries.
Della Volpe said he hopes the new owners come in with some fresh ideas to turn the mall around.
"If the new owners listen what's being sought," he said, "I think they're going to succeed wildly."
Ronnie Collins, president of the Alice Bell/Spring Hill neighborhood association, said he remembers the mall thriving and packed with crowds more than 25 years ago, but he has seen a decline in the last seven or eight years.
Collins said he will be a part of a small meeting with the new owners to discuss ideas, which he believes is a step in right direction.
"These people are reaching out from the first day," he said. "That makes me feel real good and real positive about the way things are going to happen around here."
The partnership said ideas and comment can be sent to info@knoxvillepartners.com.
Knox County and the Metropolitan Planning Commission will pay a former MPC manager $800,000 to resolve what she alleged was a job retaliation case.
Dee Anne Reynolds of LaFollette filed the complaint in June 2015 in U.S. District Court in Knoxville.
Attorney David Burkhalter said the case was resolved Monday when his client accepted the defendants' "offer of judgment," presented earlier this month.
Private attorneys Benjamin Lauderback and Emily Taylor, on behalf of the MPC, and attorney Jeffrey M. Ward, on behalf of the county, presented the offer Aug. 8, according to records.
Reynolds formerly was MPC's finance manager and had worked there 12 years until being fired in June 2014.
She alleged she was fired by former MPC Director Mark Donaldson in retaliation for standing up for Elizabeth Albertson, an employee who complained she was a victim of sexual discrimination and unequal pay.
Reynolds was part of the MPC's management team.
She alleged that Donaldson became increasingly hostile toward her as she pressed Albertson's case.
In October 2013, according to Reynolds, she received a "trumped up written disciplinary warning" from Donaldson. She alleges he acted to retaliate against her for supporting Albertson.
Burkhalter said the county and MPC "swept under the rug" Albertson's complaint.
He said Reynolds never did anything wrong.
"She never should have been fired for doing the right thing," he said.
Donaldson left the agency in August 2014 amid growing pressure by some community groups seeking his termination.
During today's Knox County Commission meeting, Knox County Finance Director Chris Caldwell will be presented with the "Public Administrator of the Year" award from the East Tennessee Chapter of the American Society for Public Administration.
The society "is the largest and most prominent professional association for the advancement of ethical practice of public administration," according to a letter to Mayor Burchett from former Knox County Law Director Joe Jarret.
Jarret is immediate past-president of the chapter and will present the award. He is currently a lecturer in Political Science at the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Tennessee.
The Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton presidential campaigns are opening up offices in Knox County.
The local GOP announced that officials have set up a Trump/Pence headquarters at 11134 Kingston Pike in Farragut. It will be ope from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
"The Frost family has graciously given us the space," the local GOP noted on its Facebook page. "The only materials we have right now are signs which are $2 each."
The campaign is eventually expected to get buttons, bumper stickers, T-shirts, caps, whatever, soon.
The Clinton campaign will open shop a week from Saturday at the local Democratic Party headquarters at 311 Morgan St. in Knoxville.
The party will hold a kickoff at 2 p.m. on Aug. 27 and include buttons, shirts, yard signs and bumper stickers.
The Knox County Democrats last night picked Rick Staples to replace state Rep. Joe Armstrong in the race for the 15th District House seat.
Unless you've been hiding under a rock, you should know that Armstrong was recently found guilty of filing a false tax return, which is a felony, which means he's no longer in contention for the seat he's held for 28 years.
Anyhoo, it came down to Staples, who's lost two local races, Armstrong's wife, LeTonia, and former Knoxville Mayor and City Councilman Dan Brown.
Staples will take on independent Pete Drew in the November general election.
The recently elected (and re-elected) Knox County officials will take the oath of office at 9 a.m. on Sept. 1 in the Main Assembly Room of the City County Building.
A reception with light refreshments will follow in the Small Assembly Room. The event is open to the public.
Political newcomers on the County Commission include: Michele Carringer, Evelyn Gill, Hugh Nystrom and Carson Daily. In addition, John Schoonmaker, Brad Anders and Dave Wright won re-election.
Newcomers to the Board of Education include Jennifer Owen, Susan Horn and Tony Norman. Mike McMillan won re-election.
Some 2,000 Knox County government employees and members of the Sheriff's Office are set to receive a $500 bonus thanks to an expected $2.2 million in surplus revenues and savings as local leaders officially close the financial books on last year's budget.
In addition, surplus monies will cover 400 bullet proof vests for deputies and $200,000 for the Knoxville Volunteer Rescue Squad.
The Civil Sessions Clerk will receive $70,000 for equipment and software maintenance and the Karns Volunteer Fire Department will pull in $75,000 to fulfill equipment needs.
The county also is prepared to give the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Valley $100,000 and the health department $135,000 for records remodeling and signage.
As the county closes its books on the recently wrapped up fiscal year, the administration says it expects between $2.2 million to $2.5 million in surplus for its general fund, which covers much of the government's day-to-day operations.
The money comes from an uptick in tax collections and overall departmental savings.
The county plans to spend most of it on a number of items that officials say will benefit the courts, emergency personnel and the health department.
The county also plans to use some $50,000 of the surplus to build a park in Karns for those who are disabled and $282,000 at the Foote Mineral site in southwest Knoxville for a park and horse trails.
"Thanks to their work and a fiscally responsible approach to government, we are able to also better protect our deputies by purchasing life-saving vests, purchase needed equipment, make facility improvements and support various emergency services," Burchett said. "And best of all, we've been able to do this without raising taxes and while also reducing the county's overall debt."
The Knox County Commission will talk more about the surplus during its meeting on Monday.
The Knox County Democratic Party next week will nominate a candidate to replace long-time state Rep. Joe Armstrong on the November ballot.
Armstrong, who was found guilty of felony tax evasion on Monday, can no longer run for the House seat he's held for 28 years.
The party will meet at it's Morgan Street headquarters at 6 p.m.
Whoever gets the nod will face independent candidate Pete Drew.
As it stands, at least three folks are interested in the 15th District seat, including former interim Knoxville Mayor and current City Councilman Dan Brown; former City Council and school board candidate Rick Staples; and Joe's wife LeTonia, who is a lobbyist.
Things are getting a little interesting from what I understand some factions within that district's political community are starting to build.
On one hand you have Letonia and some folks just flat out don't want a dynasty. On the other hand, you've got Rick, who has already lost twice. So, there's the argument that maybe the voters don't want him holding office. And then there's Dan, who is definitely an all around good guy and was a very competent mayor, but a few folks have privately questioned whether he would be up for the frequent back-and-forth drive between Knoxville and Nashville.
That said, they all have good qualities.
Voters might not have turned out last Thursday night, but phony baloney write-in names were certainly plentiful.
Walter the Bulldog? Mickey Mouse? Foghorn Leghorn?
You name it – from the funny, the serious, to the truly absurd – those few voters who did hit the ballot boxes had fun.
Or, maybe they just wanted to make a statement.
Some suggested Mickey Mouse for a state Senate seat, others felt Morris the Cat, James T Kirk, John Q Public or Flavia could do the job.
Heck, one person thought putting WBIR's Mike Donila down for the South Knoxville county Commission seat was a good idea.
Heh. I promise – it wasn't me.
"Anyone But" made an appearance, and so, too, did "Anyone Else," Snow White, Abe Lincoln and Trumpisafascist.
Then there were other picks for Obama, Hilary, Trump and Bernie, too.
Oh yea, can't forget Bill the Cat.
Former Knoxville Mayor Victor Ashe garnered a few votes, as did Knox County Criminal Court Clerk Mike Hammond, and local rogue blogger Brian Hornback.
In addition, county Clerk Foster Arnett, UT Football Coach Butch Jones and . . . Batman made appearances.
None of these aforementioned names counted, of course, since they weren't registered with the Knox County Election Board.
In the meantime, the November general election is just around the corner.
In the only contested school board race, Susan Horn defeated Reuben "Buddy" Pelot, garnering just over 61 percent of the vote to represent the 5th District.
The board of education seats are non-partisan.
Horn will join Tony Norman and Jennifer Owen as new faces on the 9-member school board.
Norman and Owen defeated opponents in the March primary and were not in contested races Thursday. Norman (3rd District) and Owen (2nd District) replace Doug Harris and Tracie Sanger, respectively. Neither of the incumbents sought re-election.
Horn and Pelot were the top two vote-getters in a three-way March contest, so they squared off again. Karen Carson, the sitting incumbent for the seat, also didn't run again.
In addition, 8th District incumbent Mike McMillan retained his seat after no one filed to challenge him in March.
The school board in the upcoming year will be tasked with hiring a new school superintendent to help oversee the system. Jim McIntyre and the current board reached an agreement to pay him one year's salary of $227,000 to step down in early July.
The 11-member Knox County Commission will be down to a lone Democrat when officials are sworn in later this year.
Republicans on Thursday evening almost completed the political sweep during the general election, with only newcomer Evelyn Gill defeating Republican Michael Covington and independent Tyrone LaMar Fine in the Democrat-heavy 1st District that includes Lonsdale, Fort Sanders and Holston Hills.
Gill secured a little more than 67 percent of the vote, according to unofficial returns, and will replace Sam McKenzie who opted not to run.
"We add diversity to the board of county commission, not only as a woman, not only as a minority, but I'm excited to get in and start work," Gill said. "We have to move to the center in order to get the work of the first district done. We have to build consensus. That's the nature of what our democracy is about, but we also have to make sure that the voices of the first district are heard. That is what they put me in office to make sure of."
The board's other Democrat – Amy Broyles – also chose not to seek re-election for her 2nd District seat. In that race, Republican Michele Carringer narrowly defeated Laura Kildare with 51.35 percent of the vote for that seat. The difference was 75 votes.
Gill and Carringer join Hugh Nystrom and Carson Daily as new faces on the board.
Nystrom easily handled Marleen Davis in the 4th District race to represent part of west Knox County; and Daily beat Democrat James Hamilton and independent Tom Pierce with more than 58 percent of the vote to represent the 9th District in south Knox County.
"I hope to be a humble servant that listens well," he added.
In addition, incumbent John Schoonmaker defeated Democrat Sheri Ridgeway in the 5th District with almost 76 percent of the vote, and incumbent Brad Anders beat Donna Lucas, a Democrat, for the 6th District seat with almost 66 percent of the vote.
Also, incumbent Dave Wright handily beat Donald Wiser, an independent, for the 8th District seat in East Knox County. Wright secured almost 80 percent of the vote, according to unofficial returns.
Nystrom is the only board member to unseat an incumbent. In March he beat fellow Republican Jeff Ownby. Mike Brown, who represented south Knox County didn't run again.
The federal criminal trial for state Rep. Joe Armstrong – accused of tax evasion – begins Tuesday morning and the Knoxville Democrat is expected to testify in his own defense.
During a 30-minute hearing on Monday, attorneys for both sides hammered out a number of details before U.S. District Judge Thomas W. Phillips.
Attorneys will get up to 45 minutes for opening arguments.
The 12 jurors will be selected from a pool of 65 to 70 East Tennessee residents.
Witnesses more than likely will testify only about the facts of the case and probably not touch on Armstrong's character.
The case will last about a week.
Prosecutors can force Armstrong's wife to testify so long as they don't violate the marital privilege of confidentiality.
Prosecutors allege the longtime East Knoxville Democrat used his position to buy state cigarette tax stamps some 8-10 years ago before an increase was passed by the state Legislature. He then sold them for a profit, they allege, and failed to claim tens of thousands of dollars of the income on his taxes.
The government alleges he had help from his accountant and an unindicted co-conspirator.
The defense counters that Armstrong used a tax preparer and had no intent to defraud the government.
Armstrong, who is charged with conspiracy to defraud the federal government and tax evasion, has continued to serve in the state Legislature while his case is litigated in federal court.
He is up for election this year but faces no opponent in Thursday's primary.
U.S. Rep John J. Duncan, Jr. will speak at the Center City Conservatives Republican Club during its monthly meeting on Aug. 25.
Club members will begin gathering at 5:45 p.m. at the Shoney's located at 4410 Western Avenue in Knoxville. The meeting begins at 6:30 p.m.

For many years, I thought I could take it or leave it. It wasn't something I needed to discuss. But though this may be neither the time nor the place to talk about my struggles with those devilish white crystals, I understand that sometimes, it's good to get things out in the open. So where to begin?
With the cravings perhaps. Oh God, the cravings. Or with the midnight binges – in secret and unbeknown to my family. Or with the 3am drives to find a reliable vendor – a grey-green young fellow all shadow-eyed beneath a fluorescent strip-lit sky.
Some of you will be shaking your heads already. 'Has he no shame, no self-control?' But others will know the demonic itch I describe, the infernal yearning that demands satisfaction even though it always remains out of reach. For although there are many health-shafting substances that can inflame our desires, few are the torments that compare to those of the salt addict in need of a bag of crisps.
My name is Damon Fairclough and I am a slave to sodium chloride.
It was with some trepidation, therefore, that I recently drove to the Lion Salt Works in Marston, Cheshire, to take a look at the only remaining open pan salt works in the UK. It is no longer in production – having opened in 1894, it closed in the mid-1980s and was in a state of gradual decay prior to reopening as a museum in June – but I couldn't help feeling that even so, almost a century of salt making must have left its savoury mark on the landscape. So as I left the Runcorn Bridge behind me and headed in the direction of Northwich, I felt a little like a recovering 1970s coke-head who'd been despatched to write about Studio 54. While I had an undeniable interest in the subject I'd been sent to cover, I feared that once in there, I wouldn't be able to resist licking the floor.
First impressions, though, were a little surprising. I'd expected salt-encrusted buildings and an evocative industrial vista with an unmistakeable briny tang. The Lion Salt Works, however, simply gleams with newness. It cost £10 million to turn the site from a derelict relic into an immaculate showcase for Cheshire's salt producing heritage and, having been open as a museum for under six months, it is as though the wrapping has only just come off. That 10 million quid looks like money very well spent.
The site consists of a number of beautifully restored buildings including large warehouse-like structures, a pump house, some cottages, a fine chimney and a hulking beast of a brine tank. The brickwork is perfectly pointed, the woodwork is clearly prepared for the next 100 years. There are also set-square-sharp lawns, pristine pathways, a popular kids' play area and even a butterfly house on site.
Set in a landscape of winding waterways, open fields, quaint cottages and executive housing, the renovated salt works could initially be mistaken for an exclusive apartment development – an ex-industrial shell full of Poggenpohl kitchens and those bathroom lights that switch on by themselves. Fortunately, the investment into this museum hasn't only been spent on its admittedly impressive appearance; spend a little time here and you soon realise that its historical story has been equally well thought through.
The first revelation came as I stood on the edge of the site with Tom Whitehead, one of the Lion Salt Works' expert guides. As we contemplated the adjacent Trent-Mersey canal – now an idyllic thoroughfare used largely by leisure vessels – he described how the landscape around us would once have been dense with industry and choked with smog. At its industrial peak there were 17 salt works within a four-mile stretch of the canal, along with many more throughout Cheshire, each belching out particularly sulphurous clouds of airborne filth from chimneys that were too short for the job. John Ruskin, the great Victorian art critic and social thinker, apparently referred to the area as a "smoking hellhole", and it was with this essential contextual detail firmly front-of-mind that we then explored the rest of the site.
The Lion Salt Works – named after the Red Lion Hotel that originally stood on the site – was an open pan salt producer rather than a salt mine. This meant that instead of descending deep into the earth to chip away at the vast reserves of rock salt on which Cheshire sits, producers would sink a shaft into the ground in order to tap the rivers of brine that flow through the region below the surface. With a direct hit, the brine would jet into the air just like puncturing a can of tuna; it could then be pumped out and stored, before being boiled away in large iron pans to leave thick clumps of pristine white salt.
This method of salt production has a history going back to the Iron Age. Originally, the brine would have been collected from natural springs; in Medieval times, producers received a tightly regulated allotment of brine from a well. It was only in the Victorian era, however, that innovations such as the Boulton and Watt steam engine made it possible to pump the salty elixir from deep in the ground, and Cheshire's savoury fortune really began to be made.
Between the Iron Age and Victoria's reign, it's hardly surprising that the size of the brine pans increased greatly, from the small ceramic originals to the iron giants of later years (the museum includes a number of exhibits that illustrate the method's evolution, so it's easy to compare). What seems astonishing, however, is that the core process – the heating of the brine, the exhausting raking and skimming of the salt crystals, then the drying, crushing and packing – remained largely unchanged right through until the works' closure in 1986. In the era of hair gel and the ZX Spectrum, workers on this site were still bent double over boiling salt pans, raking the crystals in exactly the way it had been done hundreds of years earlier.
It really was back-breaking work. We can easily imagine the torments and privations of coal mining or trawler fishing or steel production…but salt? That tasty powder that makes fish and chips so yummy? Surely it wasn't so tough to boil up a big pan of water and collect the residue that was left? Well, if that's what you think, a visit to the Lion Salt Works should most definitely be on your agenda. Via photographs, objects, videos and a wonderful dry-ice drenched open pan tableau, you begin to realise the extent of the physical slog involved in extracting that precious, life-enhancing compound.
The men worked six days a week in shifts that were 12 hours long. They teetered along wooden ledges with boiling water on one side and a six foot drop on the other; they hurled iron-headed rakes into the murk and yanked them back over and over again; the constant billowing salt-steam stung at their eyes and stripped away their skin leaving cracks and sores that never really healed.
Although the museum contains examples of the workers' flannel clothing, the humidity and temperature were such that, in next to no time, every man working on the pans was stripped to the waist. In photograph after photograph, these muscular specimens glint and gleam like demi-gods. I haven't seen so many sweaty blokes with their tops off since Tribal Gathering in 1995.
According to Whitehead, the sexes would once have mingled together in the pan houses, with everyone stripped down to their undergarments. But in the eyes of Victorian moral guardians, this was a scene of debauchery straight from The Garden of Earthly Delights, and thus the 1867 extension to the Factory Act forbade women from working alongside the men. From that point on, women were confined to the packing room, well away from the gaze of all those sweat-licked, salt-flavoured Cheshire lads.
The Lion Salt Works strikes a good balance between telling the fascinating tale of this specific site and the wider story of the product and its impact on the social and environmental history of the region. There are plenty of hands-on exhibits demonstrating physical processes and the principles of salt's chemistry, along with displays explaining what the salt was used for and where it went once it left the county.
Via the Trent-Mersey canal, the Lion Salt Works sent its output to Liverpool. From there, it was transported right across the world. Depending on how quickly the brine had been heated, the finished product would vary in texture – it would be 'fine' or 'common' in technical parlance – and might be destined for the chemical industry, for dairy production, for fishery use or as a preservative. In its most tempting form, as table salt, it would render virtually any dish more delicious than it would otherwise have been.
A particular speciality of the Lion works was 'Lagos salt' – a light and flaky variety that resisted high temperatures and humidity, and was therefore exported to West Africa in large quantities. By the 1950s, most of the site's output was sent to Africa, and it was when that region stopped buying for a variety of reasons – including cheaper imports from Brazil and political instability – that the Lion Works' viability finally went up in steam.
As implied throughout this article, there is no cake, biscuit or other sweetmeat that is tastier to me than a bag of salt and vinegar chipsticks or similarly savoury snack (though the genetic manipulations of that errant cross-breed known as salted caramel just leave me confused). Nevertheless, I managed to reach the end of the Lion Salt Works tour without attempting to taste the furniture or otherwise embarrass myself and, as I enjoyed a coffee in the attractive new visitors' centre (constructed within the old Stove House 5), I contemplated its new role as both an educational centre and leisure destination in one.
It's an excellent place in which to learn about Cheshire's industrial heritage – previously unknown to me despite the region's proximity to my Liverpool doorstep. But more than that, it is now an amenity that exists for its community, the very people whose sweat would once have soaked into its wooden walls. It has a beautiful new conference and events space (hopefully soon to be licensed for weddings) and a programme of regular events that make it well worth a regular trip. Just five months into its new life, it has already welcomed well over 10,000 visitors.
Certainly, as a temple to one of my favourite flavourings, it served me splendidly on a wet Saturday morning in November, and I'd recommend it to anyone who prefers life with a savoury twist. And to folks of a sweet-toothed persuasion, I say go there; you might learn something. You people have type 2 diabetes to contend with, while we salt devotees must come to terms with our ever-increasing blood pressure, but by understanding each other's lifestyles, perhaps we can help increase peace throughout the world.
Of course, in my very wildest dreams, I dare to hope that one day there'll be an enormous lottery-funded visitor experience called The Wonderful World of Crisps. Until that time comes, a few saline adventures at the Lion Salt Works will do me very well instead.

It's astonishing how quickly things can change. In matchday 27, Bayern beat Mainz 05 6-0 whilst Dortmund laboured past Hertha Berlin, and the Bavarians appeared to be in the driving seat in the title race. Fast forward two weeks, and Munich's draw against Freiburg, coupled with Dortmund's late victory against Wolfsburg, puts BVB back on top. With Der Klassiker up next, Lucien Favre's side have a two-point lead. Once again, it is all to play for!
There is also a lighter feeling around Nürnberg this week. After 21 games without a victory, they finally triumphed on Saturday against Augsburg. The 3-0 scoreline gives them momentum going in to the huge game against Stuttgart. Should Der Club win that, they will be just one point away from the relegation play-off spot after looking dead and buried.
We cover all of the weekend's action, as usual, before moving on to our In Depth section. Hannover 96's Martin Kind stepped down as President of the club last week after years of protests conducted by the club's Ultras. We discuss why Kind is so despised in Hannover and the tensions behind his departure.

Miscellaneous » About Us » School Policies
Please take a look at our Student/Parent Handbook for details on our attendance policy. It is located in two places on our website: the parent page as well as on the student page.
Successful schools begin by engaging students and making sure they come to school regularly. That may seem obvious. What's less obvious is that the consequences of low attendance are serious for all children and for the community, not just the students who miss school.
School attendance data on GreatSchools.org (which comes from the state Department of Education) gives you baseline information on the quality of a school. The type of data displayed depends on what each state Department of Education makes available. In Texas, for example, you will see the attendance rate and the mobility rate, while in Washington, you'll see the unexcused absence rate. Where available, you'll find this information under the School Environment tab under "Students" on each school profile.
What does the attendance rate tell you about a school?
The attendance rate tells you the average percentage of students attending school each day in the given year, as reported by the state Department of Education. (Some states report this attendance rate as the percentage of students with unexcused absences.) You can also see the state average for the attendance rate and compare how your school stacks up. In some states, you will see the mobility rate (which means the percentage of students who transfer out of the school). Most schools have high attendance rates. If your school's attendance rate is below the state average, the school may face challenges in getting students to come to school regularly. Ask the principal why the attendance rate is lower than the state average and what the school is doing to address this issue.
How important is attendance?
The attendance rate is important because students are more likely to succeed in academics when they attend school consistently. It's difficult for the teacher and the class to build their skills and progress if a large number of students are frequently absent. In addition to falling behind in academics, students who are not in school on a regular basis are more likely to get into trouble with the law and cause problems in their communities.
A 2008 study conducted by the Rodel Community Scholars at Arizona State University that tracked students from kindergarten through high school found that dropout patterns were linked with poor attendance, beginning in kindergarten. Gregory Hickman, director of the Rodel Community Scholars program and former director of the Arizona Dropout Initiative, notes they discovered that as early as kindergarten, behavioral differences are apparent between those who go on to graduate and those who drop out, with dropouts missing an average of 124 days by eighth grade.
School budgets may suffer when students don't attend. In many states, school budgets are based on the average daily attendance at a school. If many students enrolled at a school fail to consistently attend, the school has less money to pay for essential classroom needs

Defence weighs in on challenge of proving conspiracy

The criminal charge of conspiracy is so rare that Saskatchewan defence lawyers Ron Piche and Aaron Fox — a combined experience of about 65 years between them — have only dealt with the charge once or twice.
Yet in a Prince Albert courtroom, it's been front and centre for the past two weeks at the trial of Angela Nicholson and Curtis Vey, a pair from rural Saskatchewan who are charged with two counts each of conspiring to murder their spouses, Brigitte Vey and Jim Taylor.
Defence weighs in on challenge of proving conspiracy Back to video
Piche, who represents Nicholson, says the charge is so uncommon that it took some research to determine that there was an added, necessary element to conspiracy beyond proving there was an agreement between the two to commit murder: the Crown would also have to prove a genuine intent to put the plan into action.
That could speak to why the jury has taken nearly three days to deliberate, Piche said, adding it's clear jurors are being very careful in their analysis of the case. From his knowledge, the longest jury deliberation in Prince Albert took around five days.
Closing arguments in the high-profile murder conspiracy trial were made Thursday, with Chief Justice Martel Popescul giving his detailed instructions to the jury on Friday.
Although it's a complicated case, Piche says the decision to have a jury hear it rather than a judge alone is still beneficial for both the accused. The belief was that a jury would be more likely to take a common sense approach to determining if Vey and Nicholson were serious when they discussed killing their spouses, he said.
"Our conclusion would be that a practical approach to this would be 'I don't think so' and there would be more than a reasonable doubt about the sincerity of this kind of plan."
He said it wasn't a difficult decision for Nicholson not to take the stand because there wasn't much more she could add that the jury didn't already hear through the recordings.
"I can't say enough about Angela in terms of the class that she's shown" Piche said. "In my view she deserves a new start to her life and I hope she gets that."
Crown prosecutor Lori O'Connor was not prepared to comment on the case at this time.

The Ermine
The Ermine and Erminette, who only attack children and who wear the white robe, symbolise the hypocritical professors of false morals named M. Rodin, M. Tartufe [sic], Dom Basile [an early Carthusian, fl. 1170], who assume robes of chastity and innocence so as to weasel their way into families and pervert youth. The blackness of the ermine's schemes is betrayed by the colour of the brush of hair worn at the end of its tail. We note, finally, that law professors and most doctors of the civilised sciences, who are good only for the corruption of youth, show themselves to be very fond of ermine finery.
Stoat is generally preferred to ermine for the English name of the creature, but the latter is perfectly acceptable, and better matches the French. From the OED's extensive discussion of the word's etymology:
A different hypothesis (favoured by Littré, Paul Meyer, and others) is that the Romanic words represent L. Armenius Armenian. The mus Ponticus, 'Pontic rat', mentioned by Pliny as a fur-bearing animal, is commonly supposed, though without actual proof, to be the ermine; and as Pontus and Armenia were conterminous, it has been suggested that an alternative name for the animal may have been mus Armenius. That some animal was known by this designation in the second century is rendered probable by a passage in Julius Pollux (c A.D. 180), who (Onomast. VII. 60) gives μυωτός as the name of an Armenian garment, and, amongst other conjectures as to the origin of the word, suggests that this article of dress may have been so named because made of the skins of 'the mice (or rats) of that country'.

Cool. Apparently there's a whole literary tradition of wicked vermin that I've somehow missed. With illustrations and everything. It's too bad the sci fi book Catch Fire that I recalled had a giant killer mole/weasel type being didn't have illustrations.

Stoat. Yuk.
Ermine. Lovely! Da Vinci's Lady With a Stoat just doesn't have the same referential grace, does it?
And I do believe that painting hangs in a museum in Poland - I wonder if our friend Gawain has ever managed to see The Bestoated Lady in person!
But the big question is - are there any ermines in Armenia? And why does that last line read as the first line in a children's song?
"Are there any ermines in Armenia?"
I think the onus is now on you, ALT, to write that song. The question is, what to rhyme it with? "Seein' ya", "teenier" (ie. the comparative of "teeny"), "premier" (pronounced to rhyme for humorous effect), etc.
I came here in a roundabout way. I was looking up the translation for Armiño, a spanish word for Arminus mus. Arminus became first Armino and then Armiño in Spanish. I suspect that the french Hermine and Ermine came from the latin as well.
The Ermine is actually from Russia and Scandinavia. The word got to Spanish via latin, and appears in the verses of the Poem of the Mio Cid. So, how does a northern latitude animal comes to be known as Armenian (Arminus)? Apparently via the trade fur. The furs would come to the Mediterranean via middle eastern traders. At the time, Armenia was the best known country from the middle east among Europeans, which then gave rise to Arminus.
You might be right, assuming that the ermine really was only found in northern latitudes at this time.

It has been over four years since the relentlessly foreboding Decline and Fall, and Colorado state's favourite avant rock collective, the marvellously uncompromising Thinking Plague, are back, this time dredging optimism from the depths of black despair at the perverse ways of the world, or at least that was composer and band leader Mike Johnson's original intention.
With titles like The Great Leap Backwards and Dirge for the Unwitting it is certainly hard to see where the titular hope resides, and the lyrics retain their vision of undiluted dystopia. Singer Elaine di Falco wrote the words to Echoes of Their Cries and The Great Leap Backwards, and her themes of dichotomy and dislocation fit in seamlessly with Mike's general malaise. Tales of making merry to hide cries of despair, technology being used for nefarious purposes by known and unknown powers, and the title track's loss of hope in a rising tide of forlorn despair, all sung in Elaine's matter-of-fact style, mean that Mike's originally intended optimistic outlook for the album has indeed been somewhat lost in the process of its creation, as he pointed out above, at least lyrically.
That is from the title track, where the protagonist is overcome with hopelessness. This is not music for the cheery optimist, but you have probably worked that out already. They say ignorance is bliss, and it has to be said the world doesn't bear too much thinking about at the moment. Unfortunately, once that noggin is engaged, you can't switch it off for any length of time, even aided and abetted by the poison of your choice. Time for another single malt, methinks.
The music is not easy either, but then if you are at all familiar with Thinking Plague that should come as no surprise. The chamber rock of Henry Cow lives on in these zeros and ones, and only very occasional shards of guitar remind the listener that this music is ostensibly "rock" in the accepted sense. That is not a bad thing, and as in all walks of life perseverance is rewarded. There is an awful lot going on here as the instruments carry out rarefied conversations with one another, conversations the casual listener cannot hope to understand at first sitting. The impression given during these conversation pieces is of a letting in of light, for the music is less dense than on the previous album, and as a result it breathes easier. The structure of the music is closer to classical composition than it is to rock and jazz, and Mike tells us that his "goal was to allow the separate instrumental voices to move independently, but collectively creating shifting and morphing harmonies as they move – more along the lines of chromaticism in classical music." We therefore find that the music he has composed for Hoping Against Hope is certainly less oppressive than that on Decline and Fall, but it still retains the distinctive Thinking Plague stamp of claustrophobic intensity.
The full experience of this intricate, expansive yet strangely inward looking world is revealed on the closing 14-minute mini epic A Dirge for the Unwitting, a piece that gives the listener a little more each time it is heard, and even after several listens the whole may seem elusive. Unlike some modern overlong traditional prog epics, it is not a case of a single idea being stretched way beyond the point of reasonableness, rendering it instantly forgettable, or of several ideas that do not really belong in the same piece of music being stapled together to appease the desire for a "long 'un", but more that there is so much here to absorb in order to make sense of the whole, and a cogent whole it is, that it will take many listens for it to become apparent. Or, to use that good old reliable cliché, Mike Johnson rattles off more coherent ideas in one 14-minute composition than most bands have over the course of an album, or in some cases, an entire career. Not just that, but these ideas all belong on the same score.
Mike's ambition for Hoping Against Hope is that "I hope that the album conveys Beauty. More than anything, I want it to resonate with deep ineffable feelings." This may be a little hard to convey with something that is outwardly so very cerebral, but if you allow yourself to get lost in this labyrinthine musical world, something should be stirred within you.
Written to be played live, which sitting this side of the Pond is a tantalising yet far-off prospect, Thinking Plague have reportedly always been a stunning live proposition throughout their 35-year history, testament to the undoubted abilities of the folk in the group, now a relatively stable unit. Mike started Thinking Plague with the legendary Bob Drake back in the early 1980s, and the go-to producer of choice for any left-field band worth their salt maintains his links with his old friend, having mixed and mastered this album from his base in France. As you would expect, the sound is crystal clear, allowing every subtle nuance of the many hued instrumentation to be easily pinpointed, no easy task I'm sure.
Mike concludes by saying "Perhaps we are an alternative for people who like deep, complex and adventurous music, but can't abide the onslaught of in-your-face, hyper-aggressive, one dimensional 'math metal' or whatever it's being called these days." Too bloody right, and long may Thinking Plague plough their wilfully individual furrow for us miscreants and misfits. We'll be back with more crowdfunding for the next one!

You can't turn anywhere without hearing about the Internet of Things. But does all of the hullabaloo we hear about Internet connected automobiles, home thermostats, lighting, refrigerators, and even medical devices mean anything to enterprises, or is the Internet of Things (IoT) a consumer trend?
Does IoT mean anything to enterprises and their ability to produce and innovate in the years ahead? And if they embrace the IoT, what could it mean to privacy and security? It turns out that it probably means more to security than many IT and security professionals are considering.
At the Qualys Security Conference recently, I had the pleasure to speak with Paul Roberts, the founder and editor-in-chief of The Security Ledger, before his panel Internet of Things: Assessing the Real Risks. During that discussion, Roberts explained how the IoT is really the confluence of many elements that have been underway for some time. These include sensor networks, mobile devices, cloud computing, and big data. But just because none of the specific ingredients are new doesn't mean that the changes ahead as a result of their integration into IoT devices and connections won't be profound.
In fact, we're most likely to soon be up to our noses in devices that are constantly talking to us, as well as with each other, and constantly reacting to the data received and shared.
In fact, the encroachment of these devices into the enterprise is already well underway, and some of the IoT panel attendees explained how IoT is already taking them by surprise. For instance, many IoT devices are being connected without the involvement of IT. One of the most common connections involve building automation systems, remote device, and systems management, including those for printers, photocopiers, and many other devices. All of this increasing connectedness creates risk.
That risk is not just from new devices electronically listening, sharing, and reacting to commands – but also from the vendors and contractors who also are communicating with these devices. One doesn't need to look any further than the Target breach to see how such remote access can spell big trouble if not properly managed.
We can argue about how quickly enterprises get deeply IoT-connected, and to what extent – but few would argue that it's not going to happen.
To get an idea of how swiftly this will move, the research firm International Data Corporation (IDC) expects the global IoT market to reach just north of $7 trillion by 2020. According to IDC, that market last year was already about $2 trillion. IDC analyst Vernon Turner was quoted here as saying that IoT device growth is not just about consumers wanting Internet-connected light bulbs, but that enterprises are expressing explicit interest. "Businesses are taking the necessary steps to gain a deeper understanding of IoT and the overall value," Turner said.
Enterprises may very well be assessing the value of IoT, and hopefully some also are looking at the risks. I don't doubt it. However, while they evaluate the risks and benefits, IoT-enabled devices are already streaming onto the network.
Roberts cited an interesting example when we talked. He explained about an executive from a Massachusetts-based commercial water valve maker who was talking at the Connected Cloud Summit. The company makes valves used specifically in fire extinguishers and for other high-pressure use cases. It just so happens that these devices are Internet-connected and the valves that this company manufacturers are on nearly two-thirds of all the fire extinguishers sold in the United States. This company obviously sees the benefits of IoT, and wants its valves to be able to interact with large building management systems. Or, like many companies, it sees the benefit of having the devices remotely monitored and managed.
However, I wonder how many IT and security professionals at the companies that are buying these high-pressure valves have any idea that they are connected to external networks. Whether or not these valves are being integrated with enterprise building control systems doesn't matter – the vendor may have access and one day someone is going to decide to turn on that functionality.
This quiet encroachment is a lot like the mobile Bring Your Own Device that took off as a significant IT trend shortly after the introduction of the iPhone.
There are probably many other types of IoT-capable devices connecting to the network: light bulbs, TVs, alarm systems, and even health monitoring systems. And do you know how they managed? With smartphones, tablets, PCs, or notebooks that also are network connected. As people bring these new devices into the office and connect them to the enterprise network (oh, yes, they will), they will be creating a new vector of risk that the enterprise must contend with.
Are these devices communicating with only other authorized and authenticated users and devices? Can someone with bad intent step between the communications of these devices and somehow get them to do something unintended? It's impossible to tell if you don't realize they are there.
While this is not the most pressing of issues that enterprises face today, it will be a big one pretty soon. BYOD was a relatively small but important issue in the spring of 2007, but by the end of that year, as the iPhone took hold, BYOD became one of the most important security issues. And, much like late 2007 and BYOD, the time has come to take a close look at these new network-enabled devices coming onto the enterprise network. That way, when the attacks do come – and they will – you won't be caught by surprise.


We've got the whole moon on our sofa!
Pretty sweet, huh? If you are as much of a fan of moon things as I am, you will be itching to give this little tutorial a go. It's a little bit fiddly to sew a round cushion, but it is totally worth the effort. What's brilliant about the project is that once you have an idea how to do this, you can start thinking up what other amazing pillows you can make without breaking the bank!
stuffing; I used 100% polyester toy stuffing, but you can always up-cycle an old pillow if you have one hanging about.
To start, size your picture of the moon to whatever size you want your cushion / pillow to be. Then flip it! You will need to use a mirrored image when working with most image transfer paper, but make sure you read your instructions first as your brand of paper may vary from mine. You will need a few mm bleed around the image so make sure you give it a little extra space on the page too. Print out your image on plain paper first to make sure you are happy with it before going any further.
When ready and the paper has cooled a little (it will be scorching!), gently peel off from the top and smoothy pull the paper all the way off. If you found the image is a little streaky from the transfer, place a little greaseproof paper over the image and give it another quick iron. That should smooth it out and make it nice and bright.
To attach the moon to the backing fabric you will sew your two round pieces of material together with the image on the inside. This is so all the stitching will be hidden when you're done. A good way to make sure you sew around the rim of the moon is to draw around the edge of it on the reverse side so you know where to aim for with your needle. Use a few pins to keep the two pieces of fabric together whilst your sewing. Then using either a needle and thread or your sewing machine, stitch 3/4 of the way round the moon, backstitching to secure the thread at the beginning and the end.
You just made the greatest cushion ever! Now whenever you say "I love you to the moon and back" you know exactly how far that distance will be. Clever and pretty 😀 We have a lot of moons in Vivid HQ and it's not hard to see why after this little make-a-thon; they're simply beautiful! With galaxy prints being hot right now this is a great way to bring a little space fun into your home on a budget. Next up you can make Mars, Venus & Pluto too… Brilliant!
where do you buy your toy stuffing miss?
It looks great, I have never used image transfer paper before, now I want to try it!
Was looking for some inspirations and this pillow looks great. Well done!


July is the time of year to really enjoy your garden as an outdoor space. Borders are at their peak, perennials are in bloom, butterflies are feeding on Buddleja and the vegetable garden is rewarding all your hard work with new crops to harvest every week. The pace of work cools off a little this month with any major changes waiting until autumn, that said, our July gardening guide reveals what essential jobs need our attention to keep gardens looking their best.
Be inspired by visiting open gardens in your area, taking notice of any ideas or plants you could introduce into your own garden. Perennial borders in National Trust or Royal Horticultural Society gardens are at their best at this time of year.

Fringe Fest: Two has us seeing double
Culture Theatre
Holly Lam
The Martlet recently spoke with Two's Kat Taddei and Colette Habel ahead of the show's premiere. You can read it here. This review does contain some spoilers.
As I previously wrote in my preview for Two, a play created by a myriad of students from UVic and elsewhere, I wasn't sure how parallel universes would work into the show. The answer: parallel universes are the show.
Two plays for four more nights at Victoria Fringe Festival. Photo by Catador Productions.
Opening night drew an almost-full house. It's clear that the advertising budget claimed on their Indiegogo page has not gone to waste. Haunting piano and cello music seemed to hover in the air, and upon entry of the Metro Studio, the surreal world began, with cast members Kate Boutilier and Sam Lynch sprawled on symmetrical mattresses onstage.
Two, written by Kat Taddei and directed by Colette Habel, splits the stage in half as it tells two simultaneous versions of a woman named Anna's life, played by Boutilier and Lynch. After a beautiful choreographed movement piece, Anna's day begins in chaos. Boutilier's Anna on stage right is woken by a phone call, while Lynch's stage left mirror image can't find the phone and doesn't answer. The ensuing events change the course of Anna's life.
Habel handles the large cast well. The choreography and symmetry are purposeful and artistic. Around the edges of Anna's life hover masked men (Jack Hayes, Ardy Ramezani, Levi Schneider, and Nicholas Yee), who take the form of male archetypes: customers at the restaurant Anna works, an old man, a homeless man, and a young guy who wolf-whistles as she passes.
Following the play becomes hard work as Anna heads to a bar. With the entire cast onstage, plus constant music and overlapping dialogue, it sometimes seems too busy. Stage-right Anna meets with old friend Mike (Michael Bell), and the two share an intense and gripping scene for which the actors and playwright should be commended. Two's strength is in the chemistry between cast members; Bell is a standout, and his character is the most well-defined.
In the second universe, Anna meets and goes home with Jess (Brett Hay), a guy from the bar. Their friendly intimacy and emotional vulnerability is a stark contrast to the violence the other Anna faces.
A theme of sexuality is apparent, though any intended conclusions seem veiled. In the opening dance, the way the two women are at the mercy of the masked men made my skin crawl. Stage-right Anna delivers a monologue that asks why young girls are taught self-defense, calling to mind the normalization of rape culture, but the central question and intention don't become clear through Two's unconventional storytelling formula.
Conceptually, though, it works. Sean Brossard's set and lighting design compliment the choreography, while costumes by Emma Woodhouse are simple and effective. The dialogue is never contrived and continuously engaging. The logic of the plot clicks when Mike shows up in the second reality, and Two's appeal comes from the ambiguity of its surrealism. Any lack of clarity is overshadowed by the success of the staging and production, and the pure enjoyability of the script.
Get in line early — this show will fill up fast. Two's charming weirdness feels at home at Fringe, and what better a place for emerging artists to debut their work?
Two plays at the Metro Studio Theatre (Fringe Venue 3) on Sept. 2, 3, 5, and 6. Tickets are $11 and $9 for students and seniors. More info is available here.

Home Fintech Strategy matters: Banking's Biggest Hurdle: Its Own Strategy
Strategy matters: Banking's Biggest Hurdle: Its Own Strategy
(By Alan Gemes and Joerg Reutschi)
Why coherent institutions were the first to rebound after the financial crisis.
The conventional wisdom within the banking industry about its troubles since the recent global financial crisis goes something like this: Rightly or wrongly, regulators imposed new rules that forced banks, particularly in the U.S. and Europe, to adopt new, less risky (and less rewarding) business strategies. The challenges of enforced constraint were exacerbated by macroeconomic developments, lack of customer trust, new digital technologies, and upstart financial technology–oriented competition — in other words, by external factors the banks had little ability to influence.
But the most critical factor constraining banks after the financial crisis was not external at all. It was the banks' own strategy. When they took steps to become coherent, they began to recover and thrive.
A study conducted by Strategy&, PwC's strategy consulting group, analyzed banking performance during and after the financial crisis. We found a strong correlation between strategic coherence, performance, and recovery. (Coherence, in this context, means the degree of alignment among a company's strategy, its capabilities, and the portfolio of products and services it offers.) Among the 17 large banks that we studied, all based in Europe or North America with operations around the world, the most coherent in 2007 were the most stable performers throughout the seven years that followed. As for the rest, those that moved decisively after the crisis to become more coherent saw the greatest performance improvement. Other banks — those that took either tentative steps or none at all — took longer to recover.
In studies of coherence in business — such as Strategy That Works, by Paul Leinwand and Cesare Mainardi (Harvard Business Review Press, 2016) — it's rare to hear financial-services companies mentioned. So we set out to explore whether coherence could make a difference in banking. The answer appears to be a resounding yes.
We knew that incoherence had been rampant in the sector during the years leading up to the financial crisis. Many banks had moved aggressively into new high-growth lines of business such as investment banking and the trading of complex financial products. Our hypothesis was that in some cases, firms pushed into these growth areas too rapidly and indiscriminately. They got caught up in a classic growth treadmill: chasing multiple market opportunities without the capabilities needed to win. A few large banks had been more coherent than the rest. How strong was the link between coherence and financial performance?
To answer that question, we looked at the 50 largest banks in the world as measured by revenue, thus drawing from a group of comparable and relatively influential companies. We narrowed the list to banks based in Europe and North America, because they were more affected by the financial crisis than banks based in Asia or Australia. Of the remaining 30 banks, we selected a sample of about half — 17 banks in all, spread out geographically but otherwise chosen at random. We scored them on performance using a publicly available metric: return on equity, minus the cost of capital. Factoring in the cost of capital was important, as banks with more risky business lines and expectations of higher returns (for example, global markets with trading profits) consume more capital than conservative banks with less volatile returns, such as private banking and wealth management firms with fee-based profits.
Coherence and Recovery
Once we had chosen the institutions to study, we were left with the challenge of measuring coherence. No single metric can capture alignment among different facets of an organization. We analyzed four attributes that shed light on each bank's level of coherence. (1) How well did its portfolio of businesses fit together and build on the same capabilities? (2) How clearly was the identity of the bank expressed through a single value proposition understood by its stakeholders? (3) How well-suited was its geographic scope to its strategy — that is, did it expand only into territories where it had a good chance of succeeding? (4) How successful was its merger and acquisition activity in buying firms where it could either leverage its own existing capabilities or sustainably apply the capabilities of the businesses it acquired?
Questions like these can be answered only by consensus judgment. Thus, we assembled a panel of Strategy& and PwC industry experts and a collection of investor presentations and analyst reports about each bank to augment the panel's knowledge. Following a rigorous set of evaluation criteria, we scored each of these four factors on a scale of one to 25. We then calculated a coherence score for each bank, based on the combined 100-point scale, for two periods: the years leading up to the crisis and into the worst of it (2005–09) and the aftermath (2010–14). We compared our coherence scores to the financial results for the same time period (see exhibit).
It turned out that the banks in our sample had responded to the crisis in four different ways, with significant performance implications. The four groups are detailed here.
• Consistent and coherent. The banks in this group, six of the 17 we studied, were coherent before the crisis and remained so. As our hypothesis had suggested, they performed well, even at the height of the turbulence. Some tweaked their strategy in reaction to the crisis, for example, by changing their funding sources. But they didn't have to change much, and they had the strongest overall financial results. Indeed, many were stronger in 2014 than they had been in 2007. Some took advantage of their competitors' decline by acquiring businesses (at a relatively low cost) that bolstered their own strategies. Today, these banks continue to invest in distinctive capabilities — such as technologically sophisticated back-office operations and online banking — that further strengthen their positions.
• Strategic change toward coherence. The four banks in this group did not have a high level of coherence before the crisis. They had pursued lofty ambitions, trying to build themselves into global powerhouses in some cases by expanding into businesses where they had little expertise. They suffered accordingly in the 2007–09 period, incurring losses and, in some cases, accepting government bailouts. But between 2009 and 2012 each of them radically restructured to become more coherent, even when this meant significantly scaling back or exiting geographies, major lines of business, or both. These decisive moves paid off. The financial performance of each bank showed marked improvement within 18 months of making the shift.
• Incremental strategic change. The five banks in this group were also relatively incoherent when the financial crisis started, and their financials dropped dramatically. But they made only incremental changes to their strategies, tinkering at the margins. They soon found themselves with lines of business that underperformed. These banks gradually reshaped their strategies, and their performance has begun to recover since 2015.
• Delayed strategic change. The final category contained just two banks. When the crisis started, they did not exhibit much coherence. But they also didn't face a capital crunch and did not need government help to survive. This apparently made them confident, and they stuck to their strategies for expansion. After the crisis, their performance declined slowly but consistently until they entered the ranks of the poorest performers. It's noteworthy that since 2014 (the last year of data that we studied), both have taken on new leadership and are beginning to implement a coherence-oriented strategy.
Every bank we studied, in all four groups, had at least begun to recover from the financial crisis by 2014. But recovery was much easier for some banks than others. That finding has significant implications for banks in today's rapidly changing marketplace.
Every bank we studied has begun to recover from the financial crisis of 2007–09. But recovery was much easier for some than others.
A top priority for many banks now is regaining their relevance and reputation by rebuilding customer trust, demonstrating a positive role as facilitators of economic activity and prosperity. They have to demonstrate not just the will but the coherence needed to deliver.
To find the funds for investment in their new, more strategic priorities, for example, banks may have to eliminate marginally profitable lines of business, overhaul incentive plans, redesign processes to harness digital technology, and rethink their outsourcing approaches. They will have to reinvest in new capabilities, including digital and financial technology (fintech) prowess. They also need to revitalize their recruiting and retention practices. In the 2000s, much of the best talent coming out of business schools went into investment banking. Now, the best people go elsewhere, often to technology companies. Banks need to win those employees back.
Most of all, each bank needs to develop a clear identity based not on what it sells but on what it does best. This will take nuanced, deliberate thinking. For example, many global banks are paring back investment banking activities and focusing on wealth management. But being in wealth management won't be enough to guarantee success in such a crowded market.
Start by asking how your company can create the most value. Will yours be the bank that innovates? That puts the customer first? That pursues the digitization of banking, both at the customer interface and in your core processes? Or that parlays capital into high-leverage investments? Then consider your ability to deliver. Do you have the necessary capabilities? If you don't have them now, are you equipped to build or buy them? Do you have a blueprint for bringing them to life? Are your stakeholders, internal and external, committed to working with you?
The strongest banks will shape the future of the industry. Instead of trading their way to the top, they will attract customers by meeting their needs and interests. That will take a level of coherence that the financial-services industry has not seen for many years. Our study suggests that it is now beginning to reemerge.

"Do you think we can get our boat in there?"
Sailboat Self-Steering Gear
We built a trim tab on our aft hung rudder and have sailed well over 15,000 miles using it.
Two things prompted us to embark on building our own self-steering gear: Cost and Hull Shape. The cost is probably an obvious motivator for anyone who has priced a new self-steering system. But our hull shape made the commercial gear less attractive.
A good Self-steering system can be homemade and it can turn an ordeal on a rough sea into an adventure. How you go about building the system depends on your boat. Our boat is what is known as a double-ended sailboat. This means that it has a similar shape whether we are coming or going. We also have an rudder that hangs on the back of the boat. In sail-speak that's known as an aft hung rudder. Most of the equipment available today are servo-pendulum types of self-steering gear. These require a support structure so they can hang off the back of the boat. For our boat this added a lot of weight and cost. So we started looking for a better solution.
Most of the people who end up building their own system opt for a trim-tab type of design. This is a low cost solution that can easily be built by an amateur. However in reality, the design work took a lot more investigation and research than I expected. So I've started documenting our design procedure for the benefit of others.
Also we use an electrical autopilot to steer the boat using the trim tab. It works amazingly well in all the conditions we've encountered, even surfing down 12 foot seas.
The cost of the overall system has been about $550. This includes metal, wood, welders, bearings and clamps, but not my time.

Nohoval Lower Graveyard
By Jacinta Kiely
Written By Christy Lehane
Nohoval Lower Graveyard is located on the Cork side of the free flowing river Blackwater on the R582 Knocknagree to Rathmore road and taking the L 5156 side road to the graveyard. Nohoval is also regarded as the headquarters of the powerful O'Dalaigh clan of old.
The name Nohoval is contained in the names of three adjacent townlands namely Nohoval Upper, Nohoval Lower and Nohoval Daly. History has recorded that a monastery was erected in Nohoval in the year 556 AD by Saint Finian whose feast is celebrated on December 13th . Cromwell's forces later destroyed the monastery. In the year 832 AD a round tower was built for protection from the invading Danes. Both church and tower were connected to underground passages to enable people to flee when under attack. The church was built with limestone. Many stone forts existed in a nearby field but all these are now laid low the stones being used for road building. Moving on to around 1645 the monks at Nohoval were again dislodged from their home and to build a new chapel nearby in Nohoval Daly. It is not known when the monks finally left this area. Thomas Lynch a local man from the Bower ( a townland just outside Rathmore village ) is credited with making most of the tombstones in this graveyard including a headstone for his father who died on 16th August 1793. Rounds were also performed at Nohoval especially on Good Friday. There is one grave in this cemetery known as Shine Lawlor's which tradition tells us was the altar of the old church which stood for 1000 years. A priest's grave that of Fr. O'Leary dated 1784 and Fr. John Sheehan is situated at the Western side of the graveyard near the entrance gate. His grave is no 005 in Historic Graves Recording on system. In olden times rounds were made around priests graves. A total of 196 headstones are now visible in Nohoval graveyard.
Eoghan Rua O'Suilleabhain who was born in nearby Meentogues had associations with Gneevguilla where he had a school for a while and Knocknagree where he had a school and where he died in a fever hut. Some local tradition say he was buried in Nohoval Graveyard. Perhaps local church records might solve the question but Ray Bateson in his book titled " An Illustrated Guide To The Graves Of Irish Writers" states that Eoghan Rua O'Suilleabhain is buried in Muckross Abbey Killarney, in the choir, under the third slab out from the arched O'Sullivan Mor tomb recess in the right – hand wall.
