Wind back religious freedom plan: business leaders
Tom McIlroyPolitical reporter
Jan 18, 2022 – 1.33pm
Proposed protections for employees expressing controversial or offensive statements of religious belief in Australian workplaces risk exacerbating discrimination and driving division, business leaders have told the Morrison government.
A potential political flashpoint before this year's election, two parliamentary committees are continuing summer scrutiny of the Coalition's religious freedom laws.
The bill will confirm the right of faith schools to positively discriminate in their employment practices by hiring staff of their own faith and will override existing state laws. AFR
Chief Executive Women told a joint House of Representatives and Senate inquiry that the legislation championed by Prime Minister Scott Morrison could add to existing workplace discrimination faced by women and other under-represented groups.
"The bills override existing anti-discrimination laws and privilege statements of belief based in or about religion above the other rights of people in the workplace," chief executive Susan Metcalf told the inquiry.
"This allows for the infringement of the rights of women, LGBTIQ+ people and their families, people with a disability, and other groups to be infringed."
She called for the so-called statement of belief clause to be cut from the plan.
Under the draft rules, comments about religious belief will be protected when considered to be sincerely held and not malicious, or intended to harass, threaten, intimidate or vilify.
Ms Metcalf said the provision and qualifying conduct rules "undermine tolerant, fair, safe and inclusive workplaces".
More changes needed
Australian Industry Group boss Innes Willox welcomed changes to earlier drafts of the bill but said an essential amendment was needed to help legal defences ensure that employers could address any inappropriate workplace conduct based on an employee's religious belief and activity.
"It is essential that a religious activity at work can be subject to the relevant remedial action an employer may be required to take, or reasonably wish to take, to prevent harm to others and the employer's business," he said.
"In our view, the current exceptions and exemptions in the bill are inadequate for employers who are trying to create a productive and harmonious workplace by accommodating employees holding a diverse range of religious and non-religious beliefs."
The Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry told the committee, chaired by Nationals MP Anne Webster, that discrimination law had a greater impact on businesses than other parts of the community, including in employment or in the provision of products.
Its submission called for work towards a single national framework of anti-discrimination law in Australia and a proposed statutory definition of religion to underpin the legislation.
"To minimise workplace conflict, which harms productivity, job security and both employers and employees, employers should not be forced into theological debates over the legitimacy of religious beliefs or activities but instead supported by having an ability to clarify whether or not a particular belief, conduct, request or expectation falls under a statutory definition."
Introducing the legislation to Parliament last year, the Prime Minister invoked cancel culture and social media trolling, warning that the presence of faith in public life should never be dictated by the government or the market.
The Australian Council of Trade Unions said it remained concerned that efforts by employers to create safe and healthy workplaces would be undermined by the proposed legislation, while further unreasonable discrimination against workers by religious employers would be enabled.
"The [legislation] will increase, not decrease, the prospect of discrimination against workers on the grounds of their religious beliefs; it will increase job insecurity in religious organisations, and undermine workers' health and safety at work," the submission said.

Can mid-market expansion happen with the newest generation of new business and underwriting products?
Today's new business and underwriting systems offer broad functionality for the producer and the underwriter. Reflexive electronic applications, instantaneous third party data integration, and risk related configurable underwriting rules all can help the producer to potentially issue a larger number of policies instantly.
The newest generation of new business and underwriting systems offer electronic applications that give early insight into how much medical underwriting is needed on a case.Using insurer defined rules that assess risk and reflexive questioning, the system determines what, if any, medical underwriting requirements are needed. Because the system evaluates the risk, the application may never be seen by an underwriter. That's because for many term products up to a certain face value, the insurer's rules may rely solely on instantly accessed third party databases.According to Celent's research, this currently happens less than 25% of the time, but the capability is there to expand the use of these systems to meet the needs of the middle market and at the same time lower the cost of issuing lower face value policies.
The recession has meant there is a larger percentage of the population on the lower end of the income spectrum than ever before.This has important implications for life insurers since more people may look to buy lower face value policies.These applicants demand lower premiums and faster issue times.To streamline the application to issue process and to meet these demands insurers can look to today's new business and underwriting systems with their straight through processing (STP) functionality and their potential advantages in reducing the cost and time associated with insurance sales and underwriting for all policy types.
The newest generation of new business and underwriting system can also give an insurer deeper insight into its own underwriting rules. The data analytic capability of the system monitors system behavior so insurers can make immediate risk related rules adjustments. If the access to data helps push the level of reliance on the underwriting engine by increasing instant issue policies, the new business and underwriting system could pay for itself through operational savings.Although overly simplistic, using data from Celent's discussions with life insurers that actively use a new business and underwriting system, a 10% increase in simplified issue policies (assumes the switch of approximately 525 policies from medical underwriting to instant issue with savings of $.40/$1000 per new business face amount) could result in savings of approximately $100,000 per year. That's a potential break even in four to five years for some vendor systems available today.
According to a Society of Actuaries 2010 study, automated underwriting has been fairly successful for life insurers who use automated underwriting for simplified issue and non-medical underwriting, and to a slightly lesser degree for flagging pieces of information in the underwriting process for review by an underwriter. If an insurer can get past the cultural issues related to using automated underwriting systems, and as long as it does not try to replicate all medical underwriting with an automated system, true benefits will be seen. So, underwriters will still be needed for term products, but to a lesser degree, and the growing middle market has the potential to be penetrated further than ever before.

Review: Slender: The Arrival (Wii U)
Platform: Wii U
Developer: Blue Isle/Parsec Productions
Publisher: Reverb Triple XP
# of Players: 1
ESRB Rating: T (Teen)
Score: B- (75%)
Nowhere is safe in Slender: The Arrival, a somewhat polarizing first-person horror game that's made the rounds on PC, PS3/PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One and has finally arrived on the Wii U in time for Halloween. As someone who's avoided the game in its previous incarnations thanks to not being into the whole Slenderman myth (that some take way too seriously), I have to say I was pleasantly surprised that the game is actually more than a little frightening.
Or should I say unpleasantly surprised that I found myself backing out to the HOME screen on my Wii U after a few particularly well-placed random jump scares. At the right time (after midnight) and under the right conditions (big headphones on in a dark room, rainy and miserable outside), I found myself unable to push on during one part where that damn skinny suit-wearing freak kept popping up and making me squeal like a trapped piglet. Squeee! Squeeeee! Yipes. That's the game doing its job quite well despite some flaws in the ointment.
Going in cold like this not only made this a nice and scary game while it lasted, it made me regain a tiny bit of respect for the overuse of the jump scare as everything from YouTube click bait to modern horror movies and their awfully un-scary TV spots and trailers that show all the best parts (complete with preview audiences screeching as if on cue). For me, certain horror games work best as solo experiences where you're on your own with no weapons, help or hope to escape unless you push through areas designed to make you too freaked to progress even with something chasing you down. There's a mystery to solve here and the game does its level best to stop you, but it's just doing what it was made for. While it can be frustrating to play if you're just after the clues to your friend's disappearance, there's a certain measure of triumph to survive each area… and then the next one begins.
While not a long game by any means (once you get used to dying and retrying, you can complete this in about two or so hours), the experience is very much like a nearly non-stop haunted house simulation. Well, with indoor and outdoor maps, a handful of hideous and pissed off enemies to deal with in addition to the titular creep who's unstoppable and randomly teleports around to try and make you pee yourself. Drinking lots of fluids is not recommended before playing this game, is all I'm saying. Stuff you need to find in the maps gets randomized as does Slenderman with his twisted allies who pop up at the darndest times. There are some welcome slow and quiet moments in the game where you get a bit of time to breathe before something starts chasing you around. But for the most part the game is fairly relentless thanks to some fantastic sound design and use of visual "noise" effects whenever Slenderman makes an appearance.
Visually, the game is solid in terms of its varied environments, mostly dark and unsettling maps where your sole means of illumination is what seems to be a dollar store flashlight. That poor light source makes the freaky parts freakier because if you move too quickly, you'll often find yourself in trouble before you know it. Well, Slenderman lets you know he's around when your screen gets all fuzzed out and he pops up out of the darkness right in your face after you see him behind or on some other side of you. Eep. His other pals chase you around and keep you nervous to a fault. Some of them can kill you while others just make you scared enough to mess up and get confused in the different maps. If you suffer from a poor sense of direction, some areas will have you running into trouble early and often until you suck in that fear and run like hell to where you need to get to.
While initially unnerving, the enemy models don't quite hold up to close scrutiny. The first few times you get got, you're probably going to be hiding under whatever you were sitting on. But there does come a point where after the tenth or so fright you just want to get to the next area and stop running into the same cranky characters out to ruin your evening. It doesn't help that the running animation with its side to side swaying can be a bit nausea-inducing if you don't lay off the run button. There is a bit of sneaking around to do, but this certainly isn't a stealth game by any means. You're more or less a cheap (non)detective trying to find out what happened to your lost friend and there's a weird killer on the loose who happens to have a few friends he'd love to introduce you to.
Exclusive to the Wii U version is the option to use the Wii Remote as a flashlight (in a manner similar to the underrated and much slower-paced Ju-On: The Grudge from a few years back). It works fine for the most part, but comes off a bit gimmicky and can actually be distracting when you need to concentrate on running like hell away from danger. You can also play the game using the Wii U's Gamepad screen, but while a good thing, it's also tricky to navigate the darker portions of maps safely if you need to squint for a second and wonder where that hallway you've been chased into leads. This is a game you should play alone, but having a friend or two handy to scream in your ear may add a bit more "fun" or fear to your own experience. Tread carefully on that front as it's not cool to kick someone out of your place into the night air because they're freaking YOU out more than the game you're trying to enjoy.
The best thing about the game is the randomness makes it quite replayable. Maybe not through multiple sessions during a day, as the scare factor drops a bit once you get used to the game pulling at that part of your brain that makes you jump out of your seat. Sunlight is not only the best disinfectant, it also makes Slender: The Arrival a lot less crazy when you've got less to be afraid of. Still, for ten bucks it's a great deal to get the blood going without any actual threat to you in the real world. While the more jaded ones on the internet (who seem to spend more time on message boards than they do playing games) aren't fazed by stuff like this, it's good to see an "old-fashioned" type of fear food like this pop up to get an old geezer like me checking his pulse.

Marking their fifth anniversary in control of Afghanistan, the Taliban ratcheted up their rhetoric against the US and any Afghans "who want to come to power with the help of American forces." Mullah Muhamad Omar, the Taliban chief, suggested that Afghans who collaborate with the US in trying to topple his regime and in capturing Osama bin Laden would be dealt with as was President Najibullah in 1996. The pro-Soviet leader was beaten, shot, and hanged on a Kabul street as the Taliban seized the capital. But reports said the allegiance of key Taliban allies in four eastern provinces was wavering. And in Pakistan, "some people" suspected of having close ties to bin Laden were detained "for intensive interrogation."
The US ambassador to Indonesia complained of inadequate protection for Americans there after an estimated 1,000 Muslim protesters thronged the embassy in Jakarta, threatening to "sweep" the country for foreign nationals whose governments support any future attack on Afghanistan, and torching the US flag (below) and effigies of President Bush. In Washington, the State Department advised Americans to put off travel plans to the world's largest Islamic nation, and some nonessential embassy staffers were preparing to leave for their safety. Meanwhile, police ringed the US embassy in Niger without saying why. The African nation is 90 percent Muslim.
The first international election monitors arrived in Dhaka, Bangladesh, to oversee Monday's voting for a new Parliament. But the preelection violence worsened in the impoverished country as two homemade bombs exploded prematurely, upping the casualty count to 125 deaths and thousands of injuries. The election pits caretaker Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina against her predecessor and bitter rival, Begum Khaleda Zia.
Hours of rioting by militant Protestants in the Ardoyne district of Belfast, Northern Ireland, Wednesday night resulted in injuries to 33 policemen. The atmosphere remained tense Thursday as Catholic parents accompanied their children to school amid Protestant jeering and blaring car horns. Police said they returned live fire for the first time in three months when one of their vehicles was fired upon, although no one was hurt. The violence was blamed on members of the outlawed Ulster Defense Association.
A gunman dressed as a police officer emptied five magazines of bullets and detonated a grenade inside a regional parliament house in Zug, Switzerland, killing at least 14 people before committing suicide. Sixteen others were wounded, many of them critically. The assailant left a note indicating he bore a grievance against local authorities, reports said.

Wo/Men at Work at KNX Radio, 1925
Posted on August 3, 2016 January 4, 2021
by Paul R. Spitzzeri
The radio age came to Los Angeles in 1920, the same year commercial radio made its debut in Pittsburgh. One of the first local stations was KNX, though its beginnings were rather modest.
In September 1920, Fred Christian hit the airwaves with a little 5-watt station called 6ADZ. A little over a year later, at the end of 1921, the station took on the call letters of KGC, though it shared time with other stations that were on the same frequency. Five months after that, KNX became the new call letters of Christian's enterprise, which boasted 50 and then 100 watts by 1923.
Though there are stories that the call letters came from "K" signifying a western America location and then "NX" because of the station's headquarters at the Annex of the Arcade Building on Spring Street in downtown Los Angeles, only the part about the first letter is true. The use of "NX" was assigned by federal authorities.
This 1925 photograph shows a couple of employees in the control room of KNX, one of the earliest Los Angeles radio stations. The photo was taken by the studio of Albert Witzel and is from the Homestead Museum collection.
A new owner came along in 1924, when Guy Earl, the owner of the Los Angeles Evening Express newsapaper took over. Under Earl's ownership and then that of the Western Broadcast Company, the station boosted its wattage, within several years, to the maximum (and current [!]) of 50,000 watts.
By the late 1920s, the station was at 1050 on the AM frequency and didn't make its move over to 1070 until the early 1940s, by which time the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) bought the station and it remains with the same ownership and frequency today.
Nearly a century after its debut and with all of the challenges that radio has dealt with in recent years, KNX is still operating as the region's only "all news" station.
The photo shown here depicts a couple of employees poring over what appears to be a newspaper in the midst of the station's control room. An inscription along part of the newspaper (or whatever that is) reads, "A token of friendship / to 'Dad' Allen / Van of KNX / 6/26/25."
Note the equipment in the background with its gauges, switches and other elements, as well as the simple trio of overhead lights and the desk fan in the back. A lamp and telephone are on the table beside the two men.
At the bottom right is the name of the photographer, Albert Witzel (or, at least, that of his studio.) Born in the famous town of Deadwood, South Dakota and raised in Seattle, Witzel took up photography in the first years of the 20th century and opened a Los Angeles studio. By 1910, Witzel became best-known as a sort of "photographer to the stars" because of his knack for setting up his images to best accentuate the performers he depicted.
Witzel's work (say that ten times fast!) was featured in newspapers, film magazines and other printed sources and he had a stable of photographers in his growing business. But, while his career was red hot, he died in 1929 at age 49. The Homestead has about 20 Witzel photographs in its collection, including several excellent ones of jazz musicians and of actors.

Christine O'Brien says:
Great piece! I am looking for more info on KNX relating to the Hollywoodland Community Orchestra. Any ideas where I might find recordings of the orchestra and ads for the Hollywoodland tract?
homesteadmuseum says:
Hello Christine, thanks for the kind words about the post. It looks like S.H. Woodruff only had the 8 or 10 piece orchestra around for promotional purposes for less than two years, including live performances on KNX, so recordings may not have been done. There also weren't that many studios yet in Los Angeles and few local labels. A major label like Victor or Columbia wouldn't likely record an ensemble like that unless there was a compelling commercial reason for doing so. As for ads, you might want to subscribe to newspapers.com and find them there. Good luck in your research.
James V. Hilliker says:
KNX was never located at the Arcade Annex. The NX never stood for anything. Jim Hilliker, Los Angeles radio historian.
Thank you, Jim, for the correction and the post has been updated. Appreciate the heads-up.
aitchcs says:
Where was KNX located in July of 1938?
Hello, the Columbia Square facility, home to KNX, opened on 30 April 1938 with the cornerstone laying held in mid-January and original completion date to be in March. Hope this helps. Thanks for your question.
Thank you! I am researching an LA family; one member named Joseph LaRocca was a harpist (previously in vaudeville) and worked at NBC and CBS throughout the 1940s. I recently found an article specifying him working at KNX in 1938.

Q: Making a Button that outputs a greeting I'm kinda new to programming and need help with integrating javascript and html. I am trying to make an html page that has a name input section and a submit button to give a greeting from the function in a javascript file. I've tried using the form and input tags and was wondering how i output to the html page.
Thank you in advance.
<!DOCTYPE html>

    <input type="button" name="button"  value="click" onclick="greetings(this.form)" id="">

function greeting(a) {
    return "Hello " + a + ", nice to meet you"
}

A: Key APIs used:

See HTML and JavaScript comments:

// This is what is in script.js

// Don't use inline event attributes like onclick.
// Keep JavaScript out of your HTML.
// Set up your events in JavaScript
document.querySelector("input[type='button']").addEventListener("click", greeting);

// Get references to the elements you'll need:
let input = document.querySelector("input");
let output = document.querySelector("h1");

function greeting() {
    // Place your output in an existing HTML element
    output.textContent = "Hello " + input.value + ", nice to meet you";
}
<!DOCTYPE html>

Today might be the official first day of fall, but a slip and fall can happen all days of the year. On September 22nd, the 10th annual "National Falls Prevention Awareness Day" begins, which is sponsored by the National Council on Aging.
In order to prevent these accidents, properties need to be sure to keep everything clean and in perfect shape. Cleaning up spills immediately, keeping walkways free of debris, replacing burnt-out bulbs, and replacing worn flooring are some ways that a place can avoid a slip and fall.
When you first suffer from a slip and fall accident, gathering evidence is one of the most important things. These pieces of evidence will help determine if: the property conditions were dangerous, the property owner knew, or should have known about the property's condition, or if the property owner failed to inform you of potential risks.
If you have been injured from a slip and fall accident, it is imperative for you to find a personal injury lawyer to help. At the Bottaro Law Firm, we don't think you should have to pay for injuries that weren't your fault.

⇠ The Holiday Season, Belonging & Family Stress Finding Hope: A Depth Psychotherapy Perspective ⇢
The Gift: Its Meaning in Life & Individual Therapy
December 23rd, 2013 · No Comments · individual, individual therapy, therapy
In our culture, the Holidays are powerfully associated with receiving gifts: what does the experience of "gift" actually mean, in our lives — and in individual therapy?
You may be sceptical whether there is any significant link between receiving gifts and individual therapy: bear with me, reader, bear with me! First, let's ask: what do gifts mean in human life?
The Spiritual and Material Power of the Gift
Anthropology, the study of human roots, emphasizes that gift-giving is a near universal human characteristic, appearing among the vast majority of human cultures world-wide. What is it that makes gift-giving so important, so special?
Marcel Mauss, the French anthropologist/sociologist observed that gifts are never truly free. In the vast majority of cultural situations, giving of gifts is reciprocal. Mauss became preoccupied with the question: "What power resides in the object given that causes its recipient to pay it back?" He concluded that the gift is more than it seems; that it is endowed with "spiritual mechanisms", engaging the honour of both giver and receiver.
Gift-giving in most cultures is both a powerful spiritual and material act, because the giver does not merely give an object but also part of her- or himself. As Mauss puts it "the objects are never completely separated from the persons who exchange them", and the bond between giver and gift creates an obligation to reciprocate on part of the recipient. To not reciprocate means to lose honour and status, certainly, but in many cultures, failure to reciprocate would means to lose mana, one's very spiritual power or essence.
In our own culture and time, we can see the enormous importance and power of reciprocal gift-giving — especially during the holiday season.
Great Gifts that Cannot be Reciprocated
But what do we do with those great gifts that are not given to us by another person, in any normal sense of that word?
The season that we know as Christmas has been associated since the stone age with the return of the sun after the winter solstice. Today, we can explain the fact that the days start to get longer again as a result of the operation of the laws of physics. That was not apparent to the primal human societies of the stone age. It must have been an incredible experience of wonder to those people to see the days gradually grow longer, and to realize that the world was not going to be plunged into an ever greater abyss of endless darkness. To see the sun return in winter — even though the weather itself would still grow colder for a season — must have been an incredible source of hope for our ancestors.
What does one do, in response to that kind of gift, to the things that life just gives, that cannot be reciprocated?
Individual Therapy, Life and the Gift
We know a whole lot more about physics and astronomy now, but the essential nature of human life has not changed. Whether I'm explicitly religious or not, I still stand before the great mysteries of life, and the many things that are inexplicable. Human life still has the same fundamental character of an enormous gift. To have my life and to be consciously aware: these are realities that I did not create, and even today, it's awe-inspiring to receive these incredible gifts.
How can I reciprocate? How can I give back to Life, the Gods, the Universe, the Ground of Being — however I conceive it? Only by truly receiving the gift, by living to the full, by becoming as conscious as I possibly can. To both be, and to receive, the gift of myself, and my individual unique life: this is the journey of life, and the journey of individual therapy.

Rebecca Zanetti's Bio
New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Zanetti has published over twenty-five dark paranormals, romantic suspense, and contemporary romances, and her books have appeared multiple times on several of the bestseller lists. She has received a Publisher Weekly Starred Review for Wicked Edge, Romantic Times Reviewer Choice Nominations for Forgotten Sins and Sweet Revenge, and RT Top Picks for several of her novels. She believes strongly in luck, karma, and working her butt off...and she thinks one of the best things about being an author, unlike the lawyer she used to be, is that she can let the crazy out. Rebecca attended Pepperdine University, earning a bachelor's degree in Journalism with a Political Science emphasis. While there she worked as the Editor-in-Chief of The Graphic newspaper, was a member of the Pi Phi Sorority, and an intern for President Reagan, who still gave 3-5 speeches a week, even though he was no longer president. After college, Rebecca worked as an art curator and a Senate aide before heading to law school, where she received her Juris Doctorate from the University of Idaho. She married Tony Zanetti in the middle of her second year of law school and became pregnant with their first child during the third year. She graduated law school, gave birth three weeks later, and took the Bar Exam three weeks after that. All she remembers about the bar exam is that it was so quiet in the testing room, she thought about taking a quick nap. But she continued on, passed the bar and became a lawyer. She worked for a large firm, then a small firm, then the county while also teaching legal classes at her local community college. Now she writes romances about vampires, cowboys, and soldiers. Her current series are: The Scorpius Syndrome, The Realm Enforcers, the Dark Protectors, the Sin Brothers, and Blood Brothers. Follow Rebecca: Website | Blog | Twitter | Facebook | Newsletter

WASHINGTON - More than 33 million workers qualify to have their student loans forgiven because they work in schools, hospitals or city halls, but too few take advantage of the options because the programs are overly complicated and often confusing, the government's consumer advocate said Wednesday.
"Teachers, soldiers, firefighters, policemen - public sector careers invariably involve some effort, some inconvenience or some sacrifice. People give up higher incomes to serve their city, their state or their country," said Richard Cordray, director of the CFPB. "We believe that people who contribute part of their talents, part of the benefits of their education, to society as a whole should not be mired in debt because they stir themselves to the calling of public service."
For many graduates, there are multiple programs in place to ease the financial burden of taking lower-paying jobs to help their communities. But the system is fraught with complications and competing options, and a firm number of how many graduates could benefit is hard to come by.
"The data is quite weak in this area. We don't have a sense of how much money is left on the table," said Rohit Chopra, the CFPB's student loan ombudsman. "But we suspect it's a substantial sum."
"We estimate that one in four working Americans has a job that meets the definition of public service under this program. Many of these teachers, health care workers and other public servants could be eligible to have their college loans wiped out after ten years," Cordray said.
The definition is broader than that, though. For instance, clerks at the state department of motor vehicles office, secretaries at city hall and accountants at nonprofit arts groups also qualify for the loan forgiveness programs - positions not typically seen as public service jobs.
But the largest group of beneficiaries would be those in education - more than 6.8 million people.
The Education Department's statistics arm estimates the nation's schools will need 425,000 new teachers by the end of the decade. But college graduates aren't necessarily going to flock to the classroom without some incentives; the National Education Association pegs the starting salary of a teacher at less than $36,000.
"Public service employees - most especially teachers - never get into the teaching profession to get rich. They have a deep passion," said Jeffrey Bourne, the chairman of Virginia's Richmond School Board.
But it's tough to recruit teachers, he said, and loan forgiveness programs make it easier for new teachers to take lower starting salaries than their classmates as they start their careers. He said too few of those in his districts know about their options.
"With high expectations and increasing budget pressures on cities, it's become more important than ever to attract, retain and reward outstanding individuals," said Peter Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Ind., who has pledged to help his city's employees navigate the programs.
"You'll run into some people who think starting their career in a public sector job is a luxury they cannot afford because of their student loan debt," Buttigieg said. "The reality is that crushing student loan debt is making it more difficult for our employees to stay in public service."

Scotland (UK) Full Year 2018: Ford Fiesta back to #1, Vauxhall Crossland X up to #6
First annual Top 10 for the Vauxhall Crossland X in Scotland.
Consult over 10 years of Scotland Historical data here.
Thanks to our partnership with SMMT we can share with you today December and Full Year 2018 Scottish registrations. Keep in mind this is only a zoom in by UK nation, all sales figures are already included in the UK Full Year 2018 update. Scotland fares the worst of all UK nations with sales plunging -8.2% year-on-year to 186.683 units. This year the Ford Fiesta (+3.1%) manages to snap the annual top spot off the Vauxhall Corsa (-19.3%) for only the 2nd time in the past 11 years after 2014. The Corsa even slipped out of the monthly Top 10 in December… Below, the Ford Focus (-17.2%) and VW Polo (-10.8%) hold onto their positions despite steep falls as the Polo snapped its very first monthly win in December, but the VW Golf (-22.2%) does even better: up one spot to #5 thanks to the imploding of the Vauxhall Astra (#5 in 2017) out of the 2018 Top 10. Consolation prize for Vauxhall: the Crossland X is the success story of the year, breaking into the monthly Top 10 for the first time in January (#8), then into the Top 5 in February (#5) and ending the year at #6 overall with 1.8% share. Below the Mini (-22.6%) stuck at #7, the Nissan Qashqai (-6.3%) overtakes the Vauxhall Mokka X (-20.1%) and Renault Clio (-26.3%) to rank #8. Besides the Crossland X, a handful of other nameplates made their entrance within the Scottish monthly Top 10 this year, the most impressive being the two Volkswagen SUVs: the Tiguan landed directly at #3 in October while the VW T-Roc broke into the Top 10 in July at #8, then settling in at #8 in October, #3 in November and #5 in December. The BMW 4 Series ranked #9 in May, the Vauxhall Grandland X #6 in June, the Skoda Octavia #7 in November and #8 in December. Other great performers include the Toyota Aygo up to a record #2 in October and the Mini Countryman scoring its 2nd ever Scottish Top 10 at a record #7 in December.

Why not have the choir to sing at your wedding? Many churches and venues do not have a choir and we can enhance your special day and improve the sound on your video recording.
These pictures show Musical Director, Margaret Pringle and some of the choir members at Wynyard Hall, Billingham at the wedding of Rachel and Nick on Friday, July 21st 2017.
As well as singing hymns with the guests, we sang "Can't help falling in love with you " while the register was signed.


Summer is behind us and we're officially into "Fall" mode, and for many of us the thought of getting our homes "holiday ready" is slowly becoming a reality. Finding fresh design inspirations for fall 2011 and adding some warmth to your home is as easy as ever – particularly when the runways, magazines, newspapers and television shows keep us abreast as to what's hot and what's not from one year to the next. Here are just a few of the home design trends that have been making their mark recently. I feel most of these trends have the staying power and are on the verge of becoming the new lifestyle standard. What's Hot!
Investing in Your Home: Yes the economy remains unpredictable but more and more homeowners are finally "ready" to enhance their quality of life at home. "Nesting" is here to stay and re-thinking the way we really want to live is now a reality. Implementing high quality sustainable, recycled and renewable materials and products into our homes – is an investment worth making and will withstand the test of time. It's smarter, healthier and greener!
Multi-Functional Spaces: Maximizing every inch of space – within the existing footprint – and providing creative and integrated storage solutions throughout your entire home is more important now than ever. Less clutter and greater organization will contain your "stuff" and still allow your home to feel more spacious, uncluttered and inviting.

Re-Interpretation of Design Styles: From coast to coast the design showrooms are displaying a distinct softening and refinement of the modern interior with a departure from the harsher lines and minimalist trends of the past few years. Introducing a mixture of many design genres into your room creates an immediate personality and lifestyle – something many design savvy homeowners are craving these days. With fewer rules than ever before, re-interpreting the past and blending it with the new creates a more authentic and personal interior design style. Infusing character which has evolved over time – creates that "Timeless" interior.

The New "It" Color: Each season the color forecasters share the new colors of the moment. This fall it's the color – purple! It defines elegance and refined luxury at the same time represents royalty (and who doesn't NEED to feel regal from time to time!) This spiritual color also works beautifully with various shades of grey, cream, yellows, rich woods and metallics.
