Columbine High School will no longer hold classes on April 20, the anniversary of the shootings at the Jefferson County, Colo., school. Students have been excused from classes on that date since the 1999 slayings, but administrators have now decided to permanently make it an in-service day for teachers. More than half the school's 1,600 students had siblings who attended the school in 1999, according to the district.

US To Purchase 500M Pfizer Vaccine Doses To Share Globally Through COVAX
Michael Cantrell June 9, 2021
The United States is set to buy 500 million doses of the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine which will then be shared to the world through COVAX, an alliance for donation that will help distribute these vaccinations to 92 lower income countries, as well as the African Union over the course of the next year.
President Joe Biden was reportedly set to make the official announcement about this during a speech on Thursday before the start of the Group of Seven summit. Two hundred million doses, which is enough for 100 million people to be fully vaccinated, is already set to be shared this year, with the remaining ones donated during the first half of 2022.
via Newsmax:
National security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters Wednesday that Biden was committed to sharing vaccines because it was in the public health and strategic interests of the U.S. As Biden embarks on his first foreign trip, he is aiming to show "that democracies are the countries that can best deliver solutions for people everywhere."
"As he said in his joint session (address), we were the 'arsenal of democracy' in World War II," Sullivan went on to say. "We're going to be the 'arsenal of vaccines' over this next period to help end the pandemic."
The news of the Pfizer sharing plan was confirmed to The Associated Press by a person familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of the president's formal announcement. The news was first reported by the Washington Post.
The announcement comes a week after the White House unveiled its plans to donate an initial allotment of 25 million doses of surplus vaccine overseas, mostly through the United Nations-backed COVAX program, promising infusions for South and Central America, Asia, Africa and others at a time of glaring shortages abroad.
The White House has already announced its plans for sharing 80 million doses of the vaccine globally by the end of the month of June, again through COVAX. Officials have said that a quarter of the nation's excess vaccine doses have been stored away for emergencies and for the U.S. to share directly with its allies and partners.

Leaning on the megabanks can pay off, if you've got a little muscle and a lot of patience.
Banks had paid $21 billion through this past summer to repurchase souring home loans from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the taxpayer-backed mortgage companies, under contracts that oblige lenders or loan servicers to buy back loans that aren't up to snuff.
That covers about 13% of the mortgage companies' credit losses since their government takeover, according to a report released this month by the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission (see pages 224-225).
Yet it's just a sliver of the $529 billion of profits U.S. banks booked during the heyday of the housing bubble, between 2003 and 2006 — and it may be just a small fraction of the sums they will fork over in looming mortgage battles with insurers and private investors.
Estimates of bank exposure to so-called private label mortgage putbacks run into the tens of billions. Settling remaining claims by Fannie and Freddie, by contrast, may not cost much more than a few billion — which makes it that much more exasperating to see the banks playing their foot-dragging games.
The bank that has gotten the most bad mortgages bounced back to it by Fannie and Freddie is, no surprise, Bank of America (BAC), the North Carolina-based owner of the notorious Countrywide subprime mill. Over the past four years, it got $6.9 billion in repurchase requests from Fannie alone – as much as its next four competitors combined.
Data released by the FCIC show the bank paid Fannie and Freddie almost $6 billion over the past four years to settle mortgage repurchase requests (see chart, right) – and that was before the settlement this month under which it forked over an added $2.8 billion.
Yet despite that show of comity, the banks aren't going quietly. For every three bad loans repurchased as of September, there were two more requests from Fannie and Freddie that the banks hadn't honored.
That number has come down some since Bank of America and Ally, formerly known as GMAC, agreed to settlements with Fannie and Freddie. Even so, some $10 billion of repurchase requests remain open – and there is some evidence the banks have been dragging their feet in paying up.
As of September, about a third of the outstanding repurchase requests issued by Fannie and Freddie had been outstanding for at least four months, the companies said in their latest quarterly filings with regulators. Banks, "including many of our larger seller/servicers, have not fully performed their repurchase obligations in a timely manner," Freddie noted in its filing.
The struggles of Fannie and Freddie to collect on their repurchase demands are remarkable because rules are on the government-sponsored entities' side. The contracts they sign with mortgage originators and servicers give Fannie and Freddie the clear right to force bankers to buy back loans that fail to meet the companies' guidelines.
By contrast, the rules in private label disputes – ones pitting the banks with investors such as pension funds that bought mortgage-backed bonds without Fannie and Freddie's involvement – are much murkier, a situation the banks expect to use to their advantage.
Even so, analysts at Deutsche Bank, for instance, expect Bank of America to shell out $15 billion or so to settle private label mortgage disputes in coming years — well above the $9 billion analysts expect it to pay to settle its Fannie-Freddie liabilities. That's because the underwriting on the private label bonds tends to have been so much worse, which has translated into many more suspicious-looking early defaults to make good on.
In contrast, the numbers presented in the FCIC report make most of the big banks' exposure to Fannie Mae mortgage repurchases look downright manageable. Were they to settle on the same terms as BofA, for instance, Wells Fargo (wfc) would pay Fannie $321 million, Citi (C) $247 million and JPMorgan Chase (jpm) $193 million. Unlike Fannie, Freddie Mac didn't disclose outstanding repurchase requests by bank in its FCIC submissions.
But now that the worst actor, Countrywide, has cleared up many of its disputes with the GSEs, the stakes are apparently so low that no one is in a hurry to settle.
"It's kind of the moot point, but if [Fannie and Freddie] wanted to settle it all at once, it'd be fine with us," JPMorgan Chase chief Jamie Dimon said this month on the bank's conference call.

Kapil Mishra stable, mildly dehydrated: Doctors

His condition was being monitored, and he could be shifted to the RML's nursing home, the doctor said.

New Delhi: The condition of rebel Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Kapil Mishra, admitted to the RML hospital here after he fainted while addressing the media on Sunday, is stable, doctors said.
The former water resources and tourism minister in the Delhi government is suffering from "a little weakness and mild dehydration", an RML doctor said.
"But he is conscious and his vitals are all normal," the doctor said. His condition was being monitored, and he could be shifted to the RML's nursing home, the doctor added.
Mishra, who has been on a hunger strike for five days, fainted at around noon in the midst of a press conference.
Late last night, a team of doctors from RML hospital had examined Mishra and said his blood sugar level, pulse rate and blood pressure were normal. The doctors had also advised that he be hospitalised, but Mishra carried on with his hunger strike.
The doctors said that the mild dehydration suffered by Mishra was because of no salt intake for the last few days, and described the condition as "starvation ketosis".
Mishra started his hunger strike on May 10, with the demand that his party release details of foreign tours undertaken by five leaders.
He has also levelled allegations of corruption against several party leaders, including the Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and PWD Minister Satyendar Jain.

Cutting red tape for business
The government has published details of its progress in reducing "red tape".
The "One-in, One-Out" rule was introduced in April 2011; offsetting the cost to business of new regulation by finding areas to deregulate to at least an equivalent value. It intends to introduce "One-in, Two-out" in January 2013.
Total savings for business from this reduction in red tape is predicted to be £919 million by July 2013.
The government has also set out the dates on which it intends to bring into force some key employment legislation in 2013:
March 2013: Parental leave will increase from 13 weeks for each parent to 18 weeks in respect of each child.
Employer liability for harassment of employees by third parties is to be removed.
April 2013: The 90 day consultation requirement for redundancies involving 100 or more employees is to be reduced to 45 days.
New employment tribunal rules of procedure will be introduced; details of the content of the new rules have yet to be confirmed.
Company law provisions on the buy back of shares are to be simplified.

Flexible parental leave.
The government has announced a new system of statutory parental rights.
This system (to be introduced in 2015) will to allow working parents to choose how best to balance work and childcare between them.
Parents will be able to share the statutory leave and pay that, at the moment, is only available to mothers.
Flexible parental leave will be available to be taken by each parent consecutively, or by both parents at the same time, as long as the combined amount of leave is no more than the amount jointly available to them both.
Similar principles will apply to statutory flexible parental pay, which will be available as an alternative to statutory maternity pay.
Additional paternity leave and additional paternity pay will be abolished, and there will be no extension to the current statutory paternity rights.
Entitlement to unpaid parental leave will be extended from 13 to 18 weeks per child from March 2013, and from 2015 each parent will be able to exercise this right for children up to the age of 18.

Equal Pay claims – ruling from the Supreme Court
For individuals making an equal pay claim, the time limit for making a claim in an Employment Tribunal is six months from the end of their employment.
However the Supreme Court has ruled that equal pay claims brought in the High Court more than six months after the end of the claimants' employment (which would have been out of time in an employment tribunal) should not be struck out.
The rationale behind this is that it is not unusual for individuals to find out, well after their employment ceases, that former colleagues in similar roles to the ones they held, have been successful with equal pay claims or have received equal pay settlements. Only then might those individuals realise that they too could have valid equal pay complaints against their former employer; too late to issue tribunal proceedings. The Supreme Court's decision, confirming that such individuals will be able to pursue their former employers in the civil courts, could lead to a large number of claims.
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) have a Statutory Code of Conduct on Equal Pay. The code is available from the EHRC website and gives guidance on the law and good practice for both small and large employers.

Red tape loosened for small business.
From 1 October 2012, many small businesses and small live music venues will be freed from the burdens of unnecessary red tape.
Dozens of regulations will be removed or simplified, giving businesses more freedom to grow.
Changes include:
Removing regulatory burdens from hundreds of venues including pubs and clubs, making it easier for them to stage live music. Live unamplified music performed in any location, and live amplified music in on-licensed premises and workplaces for audiences of up to 200 people will no longer need a specific licence between 8am and 11pm.
Giving more small businesses the flexibility to decide whether or not their company accounts should be audited and greater freedom for firms to determine the most appropriate set of accounting rules for them.

Removing legislation that dictates the precise location and design of no smoking signs in workplaces.

Stakeholder pension designation requirements repealed on 1 October 2012
Pension auto enrollment kicked in for the largest companies on 1 October. The requirement on a UK employer employing five or more employees to designate and facilitate access to a stakeholder pension scheme has been abolished as part of the same legislation.
Transitional provisions allow an employer to continue deducting contributions from the salary of an employee who is an existing member of a stakeholder scheme after 1 October 2012. If an existing member asks his employer to stop the deductions, the employer must tell the employee that it is no longer required by law to deduct contributions and pay these to the scheme on his behalf, but that the employee can still make payments directly to the scheme, provided this is permitted by the scheme rules.
The repeal of the stakeholder requirements has not been aligned with the staging timetable for the new auto-enrolment duties, which do not affect the smallest companies until 2017. The effect of this is that an employer will no longer be obliged to provide access to a pension scheme until it becomes subject to the duty to auto-enrol its eligible jobholders under the legislation staging process.

National Minimum Wage (NMW) – what you should know.
It is that time of year again when the NMW is up for review. From 1 October 2012 the rates will be as follows:
The standard adult rate (workers aged 21 and over) will be £6.19.
The development rate (workers aged between 18 and 20) will be £4.98 (unchanged from last year).
The young workers rate (workers aged under 18 but above the compulsory school age who are not apprentices) will be £3.68 (unchanged from last year).
The rate for apprentices will be £2.65.
From 1 October 2012, the accommodation offset will be £4.82 each day.
As a reminder that the Government takes enforcement seriously we can report that Norman Lamb, Minister for Employment Relations, has publicly named Rita Patel, a Leicester hair and beauty salon owner, for failing to pay £3,361.22 in NMW to a former worker following an investigation by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). HMRC enforced the debt through the courts.
Government argues that bad publicity is a deterrent for an employer who would otherwise be tempted not to pay the NMW.
The Dept for Business Innovation and Skills (BIS) introduced a scheme to name employers who flout minimum wage law on 1 January 2011; Mrs Patel is the first employer to be named.
An employer must meet one of seven criteria to be named. The criteria are that there is evidence that the employer:
knowingly or deliberately failed to comply with their NMW obligations
previously received advice from HMRC about the steps they need to take to ensure future compliance with NMW which they have not complied with
failed to take adequate steps to keep or preserve NMW records
delayed or obstructed a NMW compliance officer in the performance of their duties
refused or neglected to answer a NMW compliance officer's questions
refused or neglected to provide information or produce documents to a NMW compliance officer, or
refused or neglected to pay arrears of the NMW to workers, following HMRC intervention, which has resulted in HMRC taking action against the employer to ensure payment of arrears to workers.
HMRC will not refer cases to BIS unless the total arrears owed to workers are at least £2, 000 and the average arrears per worker are at least £500.

Such a frequently used phrase yet in reality is a challenge for the majority of us to do. The other day I began to contemplate the story of Joseph's life. What an amazing story about letting go and trusting the purpose of God irregardless of what he suffered. I saw the correlation here with Joseph and to those of us who have suffered on account of family members battling with addiction.
The story of Joseph is a commonly told story but in short, Joseph spoke out about a dream that he had to his brothers and as a result they got angry, wanted to murder him, and settled for selling him into slavery.
Think about this; Joseph was sold into slavery by his family.
That is tough! How could the people we love and care about so much be the result of so much pain and hardship in our lives?
While we have never experienced exactly what Joseph did many of us understand what is means to feel like you are imprisoned because of the actions of those close to you.
You feel trapped! Many family members of addicts also feel the same. You live the ups and the downs, you have seasons of hope only to be followed by seasons of disappointment.
We will never know the full extent of what Joseph suffered, the late night bouts with himself while laying in prison.
I will never know the full extent of what you have suffered as a result of your loved ones addiction.
Yet at the end of Josephs journey of being able to fully let go and trust the plan of God even through the hardship. He was able to stand firm on his faith in the Lord and ultimately save not only his family but an entire nation. Everything Joseph endured prepared him to be able to help.
The heart of Joseph is evident at the very end of the passage when he says these words.


The Bulawayo youths comprising of young people from across the political divide has vowed to promote peace ahead of the 2018 elections. This came out during a recent Conflict Prevention Management, Resolution and Transformation (CPMRT) training workshop held in Bulawayo by the Ecumenical Church Leaders Forum (ECLF) aimed at strengthening the capacity of the youths to promote peace.
The three day workshop was carried out as a response to requests by the youths to be capacitated in peace building skills ahead of the 2018 elections as in previous experiences the very same youths have been used as instruments for perpetuating politically motivated violence during the election period. Participants were drawn from the political divide comprising of the traditional known and emerging political parties as well as protest movements.
The socio economic situation in the country have not spared these youths as most of them have been unable to achieve their aspirations despite attaining the much needed educational qualifications. This has left most of them dejected, vengeful, bitter and polarized resulting in them taking part in unorthodox means to redress issues affecting them and some falling victim to unscrupulous politicians who end up using them to perpetuate violence against perceived enemies.
However, the ECLF training program equipped these young people with skills to non-violently express themselves, conflict resolution skills, transforming their hearts and minds to be able to collaborate and cooperate with another on matters that affect them despite their different political affiliations.
At the end of the workshop the youths resolved to set up a task team that would be responsible for coordinating all the activities of the Bulawayo youths and vowed to promote peace ahead of the political divide.

EARLY MORNING CRASH FATAL IN CONROE
Just before 3 a,m James, a wrecker driver with Amigo Motors and his wife Elizabeth were eastbound on Crighton Road. Just past Kidd Road a raccoon ran across the road causing him not to just slow down a bit more but almost be more alert. Several hundred yards further his wife first spotted a sixty-foot pine tree across the road. As they called Conroe Police the saw something further down the road that appeared to be a vehicle. Walking don to it they discovered that vehicle was a Dodge Ram pickup, that was damaged in a way he had never seen.
There was no driver with the vehicle and they began to search the area. Hearing a "grunting sound" they found the driver almost seventy-five feet beyond the vehicle. That person was later identified as William Hargrave, 31, of Conroe.
As medics and fire began to arrive and work on Hargrave, other crews combed the woods for additional victims using lights and heat seeking thermal imagers. PHI Air Medical was dispatched due to his severe head injury.
River Plantation was called to assist Conroe fire who was already on the scene with setting up a landing zone at FM 1314 and Crighton,
Hargrave was flown to Hermann Hospital in Houston in critical condition where he passed away Sunday morning.
According to Conroe Police, Hargrave was traveling at a high rate of speed when his truck left the roadway. The vehicle ran along the ditch line before hitting and breaking the pine, After striking the tree the truck continued along the ditch until it reached a gully. At that point as it crossed the gully it began to flip until it came to rest on it's roof.
It is believed at the point Hargrave, who was not wearing a seatbelt was ejected. a shoe was found where the truck started to flip, a sock was found almost twenty-feet into the tree with a shoe below it. This gave them to reason to he was actually launched from the vehicle and may have flown quite a distance.
The road was reopened about 6 a.m. when Speedy's Wrecker was able to clear the truck from the roadway,

A Thai monk who was disrobed after being embroiled in a controversy over a video showing his ostentatious private jet ride now faces arrest on suspicion of having sex with a minor.
Wiraphon Sukphon, who is believed to be out of the country, is being sought in Thailand for allegedly having sex with an underage girl while he was a monk, and of fathering a child with her, reports AFP.
The woman is now seeking court action to prove that the former monk is the father of her son, now 11.

Wiraphon caused a stir in Thailand after a video emerged showing his robe-clad self with two other monks in a private jet while donning shades and a Louis Vuitton luxury bag.
He has been under scrutiny for allegations of improper conduct, including tax evasion, drug possession and money-laundering.
The probe also revealed 41 bank accounts under his name, AFP reports.
Authorities are now seeking to freeze those accounts and other assets, and to have the former monk's passport revoked.
Thai monks have been hit by an array of scandals involving drugs, drinking, gambling, and prostitution.

John Day (or Daye) ( – 23 July 1584) was an English Protestant printer. He specialised in printing and distributing Protestant literature and pamphlets, and produced many small-format religious books, such as ABCs, sermons, and translations of psalms. He found fame, however, as the publisher of John Foxe's Actes and Monuments, also known as the Book of Martyrs, the largest and most technologically accomplished book printed in sixteenth-century England.

Day rose to the top of his profession during the reign of Edward VI (1547–1553). At this time, restrictions on publishers were relaxed, and a wave of propaganda on behalf of the English Reformation was encouraged by the government of the Lord Protector, Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset. During the reign of the Catholic Queen Mary I, many Protestant printers fled to the continent, but Day stayed in England and continued to print Protestant literature. In 1554, he was arrested and imprisoned, presumably for these illicit printing activities. Under Queen Elizabeth I, Day returned to his premises at Aldersgate in London, where he enjoyed the patronage of high-ranking officials and nobles, including William Cecil, Robert Dudley, and Matthew Parker. With their support, he published the Book of Martyrs and was awarded monopolies for some of the most popular English books, such as The ABC with Little Catechism and The Whole Booke of Psalmes. Day, whose technical skill matched his business acumen, has been called "the master printer of the English Reformation".

Early career
Day's origins and the events of his early life remain obscure. Scholars have assumed that Day was born and raised in Dunwich, but there is no direct evidence that proves this claim. He may have been in London by 1540, as his name is mentioned in a city deposition as being a former servant of the printer and physician Thomas Raynalde. In 1546, he was probably one of twenty men who were granted the freedom of the city by redemption to work for the Stringers' Company of London.

The next year, he began printing with a partner, William Seres; the two based their operations at the parish of St Sepulchre in London. Day and Seres specialised in religious works, such as those by Robert Crowley, which were largely related to theological controversies of the time. The Protestant Reformation was advancing rapidly, and the laws against the publication of heretical works were being relaxed. In 1548, ten of the twenty works that the two men published were devoted to criticizing the Catholic belief of transubstantiation. One of those publications, a satirical poem by Luke Shepherd titled Iohn Bon and Mast Person, almost landed Day in jail. Day and Seres also translated important works of Continental Protestantism for the English market, notably Herman von Wied's A Simple and Religious Consultation in 1547.

In 1549, Day opened a new shop in Cheapside, and the next year, he and Seres were successful enough to amicably separate their businesses. Day set up his new home and printing establishment at Aldersgate in the parish of St Anne and St Agnes and transferred from the Stringers' to the Stationers' Company. Day found Aldersgate's foreigner-friendly attributes helpful in attracting skilled Dutch workers, whom he relied on throughout his career. He soon established himself as a quality printer, and in 1551, he reprinted an elaborate edition of the Bible that he had previously produced with Seres. The next year, he secured a valuable patent to print the works of John Ponet and Thomas Beccon. This enraged one of his competitors, Reginald Wolfe, who already held a patent to print Ponet's Catechism in Latin. Eventually, a compromise patent was issued which allowed Wolfe to continue printing the Catechism in Latin and Day to print the work in English. Day reaped more benefits from the deal than Wolfe: the English printings were used far more extensively than the Latin ones, and the ABC was eventually appended with Ponet's Catechism.

With a reputation for Protestant godliness and connections to people like John Dudley, William Cecil, and Catherine Willoughby, a successful career seemed assured for Day. Unfortunately for Day, Queen Mary ascended the throne in 1553 and the entire religious climate of the country changed. For years, it was thought that at the accession of Mary, Day fled to the Continent to avoid persecution. However, typographical and other evidence has convinced scholars that Day set up a clandestine press in premises connected to William Cecil in Lincolnshire,  and that he continued to print Protestant polemical works under the pseudonym Michael Wood. The "Michael Wood" pamphlets included Protestant writings by Lady Jane Grey, John Hooper, and Stephen Gardiner, and attacks on Mary and her advisors.

On 16 October 1554, according to the diary of Henry Machyn, Day was caught and sent to the Tower of London for printing "naughty books". In the Book of Martyrs, Foxe records statements made in prison to Day by the future martyr John Rogers, "spake being then in prison, to the Printer of this present booke, who then also was layd up for lyke cause of religion". Perhaps because the flight of foreign Protestant workers under Mary was causing a shortage of printers, Day was released the next year and allowed to work again, but only as a jobbing printer. He reunited with Seres (also recently released from prison) to produce works of Catholicism for Catholic printer John Wayland, a far cry from the Protestant polemics he printed prior to imprisonment. He also served as the official printer of the City of London for two years.

Elizabethan period

With the death of Mary and the accession of Elizabeth I in 1558, Day's business blossomed once more. Day was already close to Cecil, who had now become one of the new Queen's top advisors. Through Cecil, Day was awarded the valuable monopoly on printing ABCs. He also befriended Robert Dudley (son of John Dudley), another of Elizabeth's favorites. With the help of his connections, Day was able to obtain a lucrative patent to print William Cuningham's Cosmographical Glasse. He produced the first edition in 1559 using a new italic font of the highest quality (probably cut by François Guyot) and a large number of impressive woodcuts. Day absorbed the high production costs himself, since he knew the work would solidify his reputation as a master printer. Day's patent to print Cuningham—his first under Elizabeth—gave him exclusive rights to the work for life; it also allowed him to retain a monopoly for seven years on any other original works that were not covered by other patents, were "compiled at Day's expense", and were "not repugnant to Holy Scripture or the law". This stipulation would be an important source of income for the rest of his life.

Day took advantage of the monopoly clause, reestablishing his Edwardian patent for The ABC with Little Catechism. In 1559, he obtained a patent for The Whole Booke of Psalmes, Collected into English Meter, a metrical psalter, compiled mostly by Thomas Sternhold and John Hopkins, that Day first published in 1562. The Stationers' Company guaranteed Day the right to print all "psalmes in metre with note", in other words, psalms with music. Despite the fact that psalmes had usually been learned by rote, the business proved lucrative, reflecting a rise in musical literacy during the period. The Whole Booke of Psalmes became the period's best-selling book and the standard English psalter of its time. Day's monopolies on these perennially popular works would be the basis of great wealth over the years and a good deal of conflict between him and his fellow stationers. In legal proceedings towards the end of Day's life, it was estimated that these particular patents were worth between £200 and £500 per year.

Actes and Monuments

In 1563, Day undertook the work for which he is best known, John Foxe's Actes and Monuments (also called The Book of Martyrs). Day and Foxe probably met through Cecil, and the two became close collaborators. Foxe was among those who seized on the advances in the printing trade as a tool for the spread of the Protestant Reformation. There is a tradition that Foxe, who revised and added material while the book was being set in type, actually lived at Day's shop at Aldersgate during the production of the book; he certainly received correspondence there and visited regularly.  Day heavily invested time and money in the production of Foxe's book, the largest publishing project undertaken in England to that time, and he took an active part in the compilation of the material. Day used changes in type sizes or fonts to distinguish Foxe's editorial insertions from texts of his sources. The resulting lavish folio filled with woodcuts was an expensive luxury item, but it sold well and Day profited from his investment.

Day continued to take on challenging and difficult projects. He had already printed the first English book of church music in 1560. In 1567, Matthew Parker, the Archbishop of Canterbury, commissioned Day to print a collection of writings attributed to the tenth-century Aelfric of Eynsham. For this work, Day, known for his fine and varied fonts, had the first-ever font of Anglo-Saxon type cut. The cost was borne by Parker, perhaps Day's most important patron. The font may have been designed by François Guyot, a French type-founder known to have worked for Day and lived in his household. Day used the same font to print Lambarde's Archaionomia (a collection of Anglo-Saxon laws) in 1568. In 1570, he printed Billingsley and Dee's English Euclid, which included folding and movable diagrams—one of the first printed books ever to do so. In the same year, he printed Ascham's Scholemaster.

Day and Foxe completed a second edition of the Book of Martyrs in 1570. It was even larger than the first—a total of 2,300 pages in two enormous folio volumes—and at one point, Day ran out of paper (which he imported) and had to paste smaller sheets together to make do. This edition received official recognition: William Cecil and the Privy Council directed the church to ensure that copies were available to parishioners, and in 1571, the Convocation ordered that every cathedral church and the household of every senior member of the clergy should own a copy. The edition has been recorded as costing sixteen shillings, roughly equivalent to two months' wages for a skilled London clothworker at the time.

Final years and legacy

By the late 1570s, there was open discontent among the less wealthy members of the Stationers' Company about Day's extensive patents. He was compelled to go to court against printers who pirated works to which he owned the rights. Among those brought to trial was Roger Ward, who admitted to pirating 10,000 copies of ABC with Catechisms in a font which imitated Day's. Day's former apprentice and sub-contractor John Wolfe admitted in court that he had pirated The Whole Booke of Psalmes but justified his actions on the grounds that Day's monopolies were a restraint of trade. It was Wolfe who led a group of "poor printers", as they called themselves, in a campaign against the patents in the late 1570s. As a result of an official investigation, Day was eventually obliged to concede certain titles to the Company for the benefit of the poorer printers, but he kept the titles he printed most.

In 1580, Day became Master of the Stationers' Company, and focused vigorously on defending the industry against piracy. His official powers  included the right of "search and seizure", which he did not hesitate to exercise on behalf of the trade or to further his own interests. In 1584, he sent men to break into Wolfe's premises and destroy any materials relating to suspected piracy. Four years before, he had even destroyed his son Richard's printing equipment after Richard had printed the ABC and the Psalmes without his permission.  Though Richard was technically co-patentee of these titles, John Day pursued him into the courts and all but destroyed his printing career.

In 1582, Day's health began to deteriorate quickly. Though weakening, he raced to complete another edition of Actes and Monuments in 1583, printing it on at least four presses. It was unusual for books of this size and ambition to go beyond one or two printings. Holinshed's Chronicles, the only book of the time to rival the Book of Martyrs in scope and reputation, never went into a third edition.

Day died on 23 July 1584 at Walden in Essex. He married twice and fathered thirteen children in each marriage. Day's printer's device showed a sleeper awakening, with the motto "Arise for it is Day," both a play on his name and an allusion to the new era of religious reform, in which he was a significant figure.

Enchong Dee shows patriotic, fearless side
By: Marinel R. Cruz - Reporter
Philippine Daily Inquirer / 12:30 AM October 09, 2018
Enchong Dee
"It's our responsibility as Filipinos to defend our country," explained actor Enchong Dee when the Inquirer asked why he would so fearlessly express his opinion on social issues more often than other show biz celebrities his age.
"If I get bashed because I oppose the views of the majority, then so be it," he pointed out. "That's what democracy is all about. You have opposing opinions, but you go forward as one people."
Enchong said Filipinos were constantly looking for things that they could be proud of. "I'm all for Filipino pride. This is our strength. Of all the unfortunate things that are happening in our country every day, we just want to hear something positive," he stressed.
Enchong cited as examples Pia Wurtzbach for the honor that she brought to the country for winning the Miss Universe title in 2015, as well as boxing icon Manny Pacquiao for his fights that drew global interest. "What's beautiful about it is that we seek these things out," Enchong observed. "Another example is that we welcome [Amercian singer] Bruno Mars in the country because he is successful and has Filipino blood. We look for instances and people whom we can be proud of."
He noticed that there was "a lot of negativity when one of our stars became part of the film, 'Crazy Rich Asians.' Can't we just be happy that we have someone in that movie to represent us? Let's not make a huge deal out of it."
Enchong was referring to Kris Aquino, who plays the super rich Princess Intan in the film directed by Jon M. Chu.
Enchong represents the country in "Extreme Ends."
Enchong, along with good friend Ria Atayde, will represent the Philippines in the brand-new reality series, "Extreme Ends." The show, which features three more pairs from Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand, will air exclusively on KIX, starting Oct. 17 at 9:30 p.m.

"I'm fortunate enough that I have a strong following on social media. I guess that's how the producers decided to pick me," said Enchong, who currently has 1.9 million followers on Instagram and is known for his hastags #EnchongAwesomeTravels and #BastaTripMo.
Enchong and Ria play extreme games in the episode, titled "High and Low," while the other contenders are featured in episodes, titled "Day and Night," "Fast and Slow" and "Hidden and Exposed."
He explained: "The program wants to show the different sides of Hong Kong. When I heard that I was being considered, I immediately sent word that I really wanted to do it. I picked Ria because I know she could be daring, fun, makulit and, at the same time, is able to speak English fluently."
But, they did not do most of their challenges together, he said. "However, there was this instance when I had to guess Ria's real name—the one written on her birth certificate—in order to pass one level for a specific activity," he recalled. "Watch the show and you'll know what her real name is. It's a 'wow' moment for me. All I can say is that it's very Filipino."
Enchong said working with a Hong Kong-based production team didn't require a lot of adjustments. "We are very much alike. They also try to maximize day effect. They are down-to-earth; they're OK to eat anywhere. They're also very professional," he observed. "The only difference is that they have a bigger budget to spend for the show. They made sure that even though you're not from their country, you will enjoy."
Is joining the show an indication of his plan to try his luck in a career beyond the Philippines? "It's more of a dream. If it doesn't happen, it's OK. I just wanted to learn from the experience," Enchong replied.
Asked whether or not the show would also give Southeast Asian viewers a glimpse of his patriotic views, the actor said: "They interviewed me before and after the shoot. At one point, they asked me to say something about Filipino culture. I simply introduced us to viewers of the other countries where the program will be shown. I surely hope they'll show it."

Hello and happy Monday! I really have NO business taking a break and writing a blog post, because I'm currently inundated with so much work. There has been a lot of growth and changes in both of my businesses (A Toast 2 Artistry & Heritage Farmers Markets) and as a result, I haven't had much time to blog. You've probably noticed the long break between my Anniversary Vacation and Spring Getaway post. But, blogging is something that I've always enjoyed, so I'm attempting to do more of it, especially since it's so relaxing to me.
Today, I decided to pop in and share with my latest obsession, because I just can't stand to see anyone without one of these....The Beverage Brim. These beautifully handcrafted wine/cocktail glass covers are so perfect for so many reasons. I swear, every time I have mine over my glass at a restaurant, someone asks where I got it. Here's a few reasons why I'm crazy about them.
1. They keep critters out of my glass....including people. Lol!
2. They are super chic and look so classy draped over the glass.
3. They come with a draw string bag to make carrying easy. A girls has to have one in her purse at all times for impromptu cocktails.
4. They are super affordable and great for gifting!
Imagine a girls' night out and you and all of your girlfriends have your cocktail/wine glasses on the table with a Beverage Brim cover over them.....HELLO!!! So fabulous, right?
Whelp, I already own a few because my aunt, Bernice Abram happens to be the fabulous designer. But, if you are interested in ordering, you can do so online at BeverageBrim.com or contact her here for custom orders.
Below is a bit about her journey, and why she started this fabulous company!
The Beverage Brim™ is a Handmade in the USA "Classy Glass" cover, carefully designed to keep unwanted objects out and the class of your glass in! It is the elegant way to accessorize, identify, and protect the contents of your beverage.
After personally realizing the daily struggles and stresses of caregiving for a Vietnam Veteran with Dementia/Alzheimer's, a hobby became the most crucial part of my survival. The benefits of hand-making individualized classy beverage covers became the focal point of my existence and has brought a new sense of meaning, relaxation, tranquility and inspiration! As a result, each year a portion of the proceeds will be donated to help cure Alzheimer's and support Veterans.
*I have the one above in the middle.

219 – This is Youyan Pass
On the ice tombstone, there were words, that was like as if it was etched using a steel hook. Every stroke of the characters had an ominous killing intent that shot out.
The experts of the military that had rushed here had relaxed expressions after being taken aback at reading the characters on the ice tombstone.
They originally thought it was the people of the sects causing trouble here and that it would be troublesome for them to maintain order. But they had not thought it was the Marquis Ye that was all the rage who had acted. After connecting this incident with all the information this morning, it seemed like that Ye Qingyu really wanted to act against the people of the sects with the force of thunder.
Although the experts of the army had never heard of the Five poison gongzi before, but to have been targeted by Marquis Ye , it was most likely that he was not a good person anyway. He most likely deserved his death.
These days there were many people that had arrived from the sects. They said that had came to provide aid, but had caused the entire Youyan Pass to fall into chaos. There were many military officers who could not bear to watch this, but as a result of the strict military order ,they had no way of retaliating.
After hearing about the actions of Marquis Ye today, and how he had slaughtered the people of the Jianghu in rage, countless soldiers and officers had jumped up with excitement.
Everyone felt, that the way Marquis Ye did things was thunderous and great. No wonder he came from the military.
This was the true style of a soldier.
Disregarding whether he was right or wrong in this matter, the large majority of the army stood on the side of Marquis Ye. From the perspective of their emotions, they entirely supported Ye Qingyu.
But the complexions of the experts of the sects that came here after hearing the news completely changed after seeing this tombstone.
"What Five poison gongzi has died?"
"Even the five poison gongzi has been killed?""
"This…..according to the rumours, does the Five poison Gongzi not have a significant background, and is someone of the Empire? How could…..how could he be killed by Ye Qingyu.
"In this half a day, Ye Qingyu has already killed near a hundred people from the sects. He is completely a killing demon….this is too exaggerated….in these days, the five poison gongzi has not done anything in Youyan Pass. Why has even he suffered under the cruel hands of Ye Qingyu?"
"Quickly return and report this back to senior brother Qiushui……"
The people that had first arrived were the experts of the sects. Their strengths were not low, and they could be counted as significant people. After their shock, they felt wave after wave of anger. As the saying goes, where they were seated determined what their attitude would be. Today, near a hundred Jianghu people had died. As someone belonging to this group, they naturally felt distress.
"The military will have to give an accounting for this matter." An elder that came from the Deer cauldron sect said furiously. In front of all the officers, he pointed at the ice tombstone. "This murderous demon Ye Qingyu, in just half a day, have slaughered near a hundred people of the Jianghu. His cruel methods, utterly causes one to shiver. The military will have to give an explanation for his actions."
"That's right. This cannot go on any longer. Will he only give up once have killed everyone from Jianghu?"
"For such a butcher, just what merits does he have that he is able to gain such a heroic military position?"
"For such a butcher to rise to the position of Marquis, is this a joke of the army?"
The experts of the sects, all began adding to the resentment.
On the side of the military, the complexion of everyone changed.
The person with the highest military rank was a middle aged military warfare officer. Hearing these words, he gave a glance and a cold smile to the people of the JIanghu. "This is Youyan Pass. This is the frontier that the Empire has constructed one tile and one brick at the time on the icy mountains. This is not the mountains of your sects. In this place, the Youyan army only has answer and account themselves to the Empire. To give an accounting to you people? Everyone, I think you may have overestimated yourselves. Even if your patriarch themselves came, even they do not have the requirements to make the Youyan army give an accounting of themselves!"
"You….."
The elder of the Deer cauldron sect was frozen wit rage.
The other experts of the sects were also burning with anger.
No one thought that the stance of the army would be so hard.
The middle aged officer had disdain and contempt on his face.
"As for the matter of Marquis Ye's title, this is the bestowalment that came from the imperial court as well as the military department. For you to dare qeustion this is a great crime. Not knowing how high the heavens are or how deep the earth is, you came here to speak nonsense. Marquis Ye has the position of the patrolling sword envoy of the Youyan Pass with a special authority. EVen if he killed the officers of the Empire, this is within his remit. Only thorugh the permission of the Pass Lord's resience can he be punished in any way. You bunch of people, to come here and ask for an explanation, and to even call Marquis Ye a murderous demon? In light that this is your first offence, I will not not hold you accountable. But if you continue, we will arrest you, and send you to the military prisons and make your patriarchs personally come and collect you people."
This speech, was final as steel. HIs position was as hard and as resolute as could be.
The anger of the experts of the sects was like a raging thunderstorm, but there was nothing they could say.
The face of the elder of the Deer cauldron sect was like a pig's liver, but he did not dare say anything.
Apart from feeling rage, these people could not help but feel trepidation. Who would have thought that the position of Ye Qingyu in the army would be so much greater than their imagination. Further, what made them both fearful and angry, was once the stance of the army turned hard, for the people of the sects that had always thought they were above other people, they possessed no way of retaliating against their opponent.
"Everyone, remember my words today. I don't want to repeat it a second time." After the middle aged officer had finished, he spoke to the comrades next to him. "Let's go. Accompany the chefs and servers of the inn for medical aid and for them to report this case. Disperse the crowds outside. Right now the issue that the Youyan army is most concerned with is the Springtime offence, and fighting back against the demon race. We cannot make a big deal out of nothing."
"Yes, superior."
"That's right, our time is so valuable. How can we waste our time on such tiny matters….."
The military officers replied, all laughing. They deliberately said such words to anger the people of the sects who were not providing assistance in any way at all.
These people directly left. The soldiers in patrol at the outside to protect the scene, also left as soon as possible.
The five or six experts of the sects left behind, was so angry that they nearly ascended to the heavens. Flames nearly began spitting out from their noses.
Especially the elder of the Deer cauldron sect. His status was high and noble, and he was always respected when he travelled through the JIanghu. He had been accustomed to being high up and respected. To think that he would be scolded by a military officer he did not regard as important at all.He was about to be driven crazy with fury!
"Hmph, this bunch of damn military brutes." With a wave of his hand, a surge of yuan qi exploded against the ground, causing rocks and boulders to crumble. Looking at the backs of the crowd of military people, he snarled fiercely: "I will remember this bunch of people that don't know death. To dare mock the people of the sects like so, don't let me find an opportunity. Otherwise, I will definitely make them taste my methods."
Before had finished.
"Elder Yan, calm yourself and watch what you say."
A calm and authoritative voice suddenly sounded.
Everyone only felt a blur across a vision,when a young man with bronze skin appeared ten metres away. This young man had a yellow coloured short hair, approximately two fingers long. He wore tight fitting clothes, nearly two metres high, muscles bulging .It was as if he was smelted from metral, the frightening strength in his body, made everyone feel a dreadful power.
"Holy child!"
The elder of the Deer cauldron sect was shocked, then quickly rushed to pay his respects.
The complexion of the other people of the sects, also turned respectful.
This young man with muscles like that of a raging dragon, was the holy child, Wang Yifeng, of the Deer cauldron sect.
The Deer cauldron sect was one of the top six sects in the Snow Empire,. They had deep foundations, and were exceptional powerful. Their history had already existed for thousands of years, even longer than the Snow Empire. There had once been extreme experts that had come out from this sect. In these hundred of years, they had acted in a concealed manner but their strength could not be disregarded at all. This young man called Wang Yifeng, ever since appearing ten years ago, was known as a little martial lunatic. He had challenged over a thousand experts of the small and large sects in the Snow Empire, and had never suffered a defeat. He was publicly acknowledged as one of the ten hidden dragons in Heaven Wasteland domain. He was recognised by the elders of the martial world as one of the people with the possibility of becoming an extreme level expert.
Elder Yan was the elder of the Deer cauldron sect, possessing a certain level of power. But facing a genius that had been recognized internally as the future patriarch of the Deer cauldron sect, he did not dare show the slightest of disrespect. He had the attitude of a complete subordinate, his manner exceedingly respectful.
"Who would have thought holy child you would come personally. It's a pity that the Five poison gongzi is already dead, and the murderer Ye Qingyu has also left."
Elder Yan said with regret.
The holy child of the Deer Cauldron waved his hand, not saying anything. Coming before the ice tomb, he extended his hand to lightly touch the ice tombstone, as if sensing something. Coming to the centre of te previous battle, he crouched down, pressing his palm against the ground with his eyes faintly closed, sensing something……..
"A direct and explosive battle style!"
There was a trace of surprise on the face of the holy child. He rose and walked several more steps surveying the traces from the battle in the surroundings.
His expression was relaxed at the start.
But as he observed more and more, he began to grow more and more surprised.
Then his expression turned more and more serious.
The heart of the Elder Yan seeing this scene was shocked.
A short while later.
The holy child waves his hands, his gaze sweeping across the figures of Elder Ya and the others. "This Ye Qingyu is not simple. The battle techniques he used has the might of the Fiendgods contained within. It is not martial arts belonging to humans. Powerful and strange……En, what is the strength of the Five poison Gongzi?"
"The cultivation strength of the Five poison Gongzi is roughly at the fifty spirit springs level. He can be counted as a powrful expert. But his most fearsome atribute, is that he knows how to use poison. His poison arts could be counted as divine, one cannot defend aginst it. Even experts at the sixty or sevntry Spiritsprings level have been affected by his poison before. This person is not easy to handle. " A person of the sects explained about the Five poison Gongzi in detail, respectfully answering the question.
"Poison arts belong to the minor way. But it is comparatively hard to handle.In this battle, he did not have any chance to use his poison arts from start to finish. He was directly killed……Haha, a direct battle. To make a person famous for his poison arts to not even have the chance to use poison…….this Ye Qingyu." The holy child thought for a while, saying "Elder Yan, you people are not the opponent of this person. In the future, do not confront him directly.
"But according to the rumours, the power of this Ye Qingyu is only at the forty Spirit springs. I……." Elder Yan said subconsciously.
The holy child of the Deer cauldron sect gave him a glance.
Elder Yan instantly realised he had misspoken, his heart beginning to thump. Rushing to lower his head and give his apologies, "Thank you for the reminder. Your subordinate I will definitely remember this."

Keeping its balance: the big challenges the BBC's referendum coverage faces
To hold the BBC to account on its coverage of the Leave and Remain campaigns, writes Oliver Daddow, we need to properly understand its Referendum Guidelines and the challenges of ensuring 'impartiality'. Britons' lack of knowledge about the workings of the EU and the fact that some of what it does goes unreported by the media make that all the more difficult.
Perceived or real BBC bias is always a hot topic for consumers of the nation's news. Under its Royal Charter and Agreement the BBC is required to be an 'impartial purveyor of news and programming' and to deliver 'impartial news'. Now that David Cameron has announced that the British people will get a vote on whether or not Britain should remain inside the European Union, fresh scrutiny will inevitably fall on how the BBC handles its coverage of what for the public is, variously, a confusing, controversial and emotional issue. This article explains how the BBC is adapting its editorial guidelines to cater for its coverage of the EU referendum, and reflects on the challenge of achieving impartiality and the vaunted 'balance' in a national debate characterised by a very wide spectrum of opinion.
What are the BBC guidelines?
The BBC's 2016 EU Referendum Guidelines were devised following a public consultation and are intended to ensure impartiality of its broadcasts during what will be an unusually intense period of scrutiny. They will come into force at the official launch of the referendum campaign via parliamentary legislation, and this date has yet to be determined. However, it is plain for all to see that campaigning has already begun, necessitating careful thought by the BBC about how to cover developments in the 'phoney war'. Hence, the Referendum Guidelines are already operational in all but name.
A key aim of these guidelines is to 'deliver to audiences impartial and independent reporting of the campaign, providing them with fair coverage and rigorous scrutiny of the policies and campaigns of all relevant parties and campaign groups'. The Referendum Guidelines work synergistically alongside the BBC's wider Editorial Guidelines. Of particular relevance are those pertaining to 'Impartiality' and 'Politics, Public Policy and Polls', which includes the handling of set piece political broadcasts. The guidelines stipulate that over an appropriate timeframe the BBC must give 'due weight and prominence to all the main strands of argument and to all the main parties. Although the government of the day will often be the primary source of news, the voices and opinions of other parties must also be routinely aired and challenged'.
So much for the stated principle, but what about the practice, which will be put to the test in the heat of an impassioned battle for the future of Britain? The amalgamation of the campaign groups on each side of the EU referendum debate into two camps – Brexit and Bremain – should in theory have simplified things. Impartiality in this context would mean the 'seesaw' approach of giving equal airtime to the views of each camp in a simple accounting exercise, along with the same length and time slots for their political broadcasts. In this interpretation impartiality means balance of opinion measured in terms of time dedicated to the two poles.

Filling the knowledge gap
This interpretation of impartiality has an elegant simplicity to it. However, it was recognised by the BBC almost a decade ago that the 'seesaw' approach falls short of generating true impartiality in an era when so many formal parties and groupings exist to promote the 'for' and 'against' of all political matters. This is especially true for the feverish debate about the merits of national membership in a complex, multidimensional grouping such as the EU. Huge diversity of opinion necessitates instead a 'wagon wheel' approach, encouraging the airing of a fuller 'breadth of view' and 'extra perspectives', which perhaps might not be catered well for elsewhere in the national media. Contrary to the presentation of 'two sides of the argument', therefore, the wagon wheel model assumes the need to broadcast a true mulitiplicity of opinions.
In the EU referendum debate, as Mike Berry has pointed out, the BBC should be able to perform a vital function in this respect, for at least two reasons. First of all, it has the resources and time across its various platforms (television, radio and online) to act as a credible source of information about EU governance structures, policies and decision-making practices. Members of the UK national public often admit to lacking basic facts about the history and development of the EU. They further indicate that they want more such knowledge about the workings of the EU and about Britain's role within the organisation.
It is beyond the scope of this piece to diagnose the causes of this information gap, but the blame appears to lie with a sorry combination of politicians who have done little to explain the EU to voters over a prolonged period, a national history curriculum dominated by Britain's martial history and which has been too heavily focussed on the Hitler/Stalin approach to understanding recent European history, and other organs of the media itself (newspapers in particular), which prefer to spread comedic myths about the EU instead of investigating the 'real' or substantive matters that publics care about. Throwing out heat about the EU has, in short, often taken the place of casting light on its activities and global role (whether positive or negative).
The problem of representation
Second, and with this in mind, there is a significant percentage of voters who say that as yet they are undecided how to vote in the referendum – anywhere between 8% and 18% at a recent estimate. This is certainly enough to swing a close poll either way. On top of this, huge segments of the voting populace are under-represented at the top of the national campaign groupings, and this naturally extends to poor coverage of their interests in terms of the issues discussed. Gender imbalance in the campaigning and media coverage is one very good example in this respect, with twice as many women as men declaring that they are undecided how to vote. This is also a generational problem, as new research has found that only ten per cent of those aged 18-24 feel well informed about the referendum.
There are many interesting angles to take on EU policies and the costs and benefits to Britain, which could mobilise female (and of course male) voters, such as the question of the gender pay gap and employment rights. Leaving social justice matters aside, there is Britain's leading role in pushing EU action on climate change (on which the UK Green Party is an authoritative but relatively rarely heard voice), Britain's role in pushing good practice in Corporate Social Responsibility and its role in Common Defence and Security initiatives, for example in the EU Naval Force's Operation Atalanta combatting piracy off the coast of Somalia.
These are just a few examples of areas of EU activity that are likely to get limited or no coverage in the referendum debate. But they are not niche debates that affect just a few people or some segments of the population. They affect us all because they speak to a core concern that underpins all the debates taking place in this process: what kind of capacities does Britain possess to secure its interests on the world stage, and does Britain 'need' the EU to help it play out this nationally-agreed role?
In the interests of a democratic process and a legitimate referendum result that has buy-in from all sides, the public needs to go to the polls having had the chance to hear from all sides on all issues. Clearly, the BBC is not the only media outlet where the broader debates can or should occur, but it is certainly entering a tricky period when its coverage of one of the most vexed national issues of our time will put it under the microscope as never before.

Haven't found your calling? Don't panic there is still time until the next Winter Olympics and the Durban Ice Rink welcomes all levels of ability.
A perfect activity for Durban's hot sticky days or for some family bonding. Leisure skating is a fun work-out for all with kids having a shorter distance to fall and grown-ups having more padding to absorb the impact. Public sessions are ideal for a holiday glide when neglecting to re-apply sun-block beachside has left you in need of a hide-out from the sun. Spectators are welcome, so if skating on thin ice is not for you, take a seat in the grand stand and nibble on some snacks from the shop while snapping photos for the family 'Seasons Greeting' cards.
Friday and Saturday nights are party sessions with a live DJ mixing cool tunes to glide to; but for the sake of the family please wait until the little ones have taken the corner before busting out the moves from your glory days - even if it is 80's music playing.
Coaching is available for ice-hockey and figure skating and if all goes well you can join the club.

Bohemian Rhapsody movie review: A killer Queen biopic indeed – CNET
Bohemian Rhapsody, which hit US theaters Friday and already opened in the UK and Australia, chronicl..
By admin , in Science , at November 4, 2018
Bohemian Rhapsody, which hit US theaters Friday and already opened in the UK and Australia, chronicles the rise of the band Queen, and appropriately focuses on lead singer Freddie Mercury. But this isn't a cradle-to-grave biography. It covers 15 years of Queen's rise and comeback and it's as much a concert as it is a biopic — especially while showcasing the band's performance at Live Aid, a global charity concert in 1985 that raised money to fight hunger in Ethiopia.
Even before Bohemian Rhapsody begins, the 20th Century Fox logo appears on screen and the familiar trumpet fanfare morphs into an electric guitar with Queen-like flourishes. It's kind of like the logo is telling you to get ready to rock, there will be head-banging. When is the last time a non-comic-book-movie logo got cheers before a film?
Now playing: Watch this: Bohemian Rhapsody stars explain Freddie Mercury's Castro…
At the screening I attended at San Francisco's famed Castro Theater, people were mouthing lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody — like you do — and clapping their hands along to "Radio GaGa." There are so many Queen songs featured in the film it's worth seeing it just to hear the music over theater speakers. I can't remember another music biopic with as much music as this.
The other reason to see Bohemian Rhapsody is Rami Malek's bravura performance as Freddie Mercury. It's hard to imagine anyone being able to play the truly unique Mercury, with his high cheekbones, endless jawline and, of course, those teeth.

Alex Bailey
Looking like Mercury is one thing, but being able to perform like him is quite another. Enter Malek, who plays Elliot Alderson on Mr. Robot. He doesn't look exactly like Mercury, but embodies him head to toe. His performance carries the film, and is filled with heart even in some of Mercury's darker moments.
On stage, Malek is outlandish, flirty and mesmerizing as he swaggers and preens with the real Mercury's confidence. His angular stance and press of vocals beam out of his spandex-covered frame like a bright light to the heavens. And that's just as Mercury on stage.
Malek is adept at portraying both the rock star and the person. In the scenes between Mercury and Mary Austin, his closest friend and partner (played by Lucy Boynton), you see a vulnerable side to Mercury, driven by a search for identity as much as ambition. (Hey, iconic rock stars are just like us.)
Without Mary, as the film shows, Mercury might not have fully explored his talent or come to terms with his sexuality. Boynton brings a contemporary perspective to Mary that allows her to be a supportive muse, partner and friend who has enough emotional strength to show Mercury who he really is, even as he breaks her heart with his philandering.
Gwilym Lee (left) as Brian May and Rami Malek (right) as Freddie Mercury performing Fat Bottomed Girls.
But the other part of Freddie Mercury is as lead singer of Queen. Legendary guitarist Brian May is wonderfully played by Gwilym Lee under a mop of curls, Ben Hardy plays drummer Roger Taylor and Joe Mazzello plays bass guitarist John Deacon.
Some of my favorite scenes are when the four of them are recording a song. You see as much of the foursome's creativity as you do their bickering. One of the better sequences is the band recording "Bohemian Rhapsody" in a studio on a farm. There's a moment when Mercury writes the lyrics that's part act of creation and part divine inspiration. It's just him alone at a piano in a farmhouse with his raw emotions and natural talent on full display.
The story has obvious parallels to other music biopics, maybe because so many famous musicians' lives follow the same path: start out as a nobody; find love and success; struggle with stardom, sexual adventures, drugs; lose yourself to fame; grow apart from those close to you; and make a comeback. Also, as is the case here, there's the tragic ending.
The band records "Another One Bites The Dust."
Mercury died of AIDS-related pneumonia in 1991. It was a "where were you when" moment only heightened by the fact that at that time, awareness and understanding of HIV/AIDS was still in its infancy. Just the day before his death, the very private performer shared publicly that he had the disease.
The sense of Mercury's tragic end creeps up on you from the first frame of the film, a silent close-up on his eyes. It's not clear what the context is here, but there's enough ambiguity that makes you fear the worst. The knowledge of Mercury's illness and death is a like another character in the film whose presence is barely seen but often left me feeling dread is around the corner.
But as that short silent beginning ends, "Somebody to Love" kicks in and we glimpse Mercury walking past all his cats feasting from fancy bowls to leave his mansion for that famous Live Aid concert. Mercury is in his full-on Castro clone look with short, slicked hair and large, bushy mustache.
Now playing: Watch this: Bohemian Rhapsody will rock you, even if it's only half…
Despite languishing in development limbo for years, with various attached stars and directors (and not without controversy), the film that came out of such a messy creative process is phenomenal. It doesn't deserve to be overshadowed by off screen in-fighting, and director Dexter Fletcher (credited as executive producer) deserves praise for his work in the final weeks of filming.
The film is gorgeously shot by cinematographer Newton Thomas Sigel, a frequent collaborator with Bryan Singer, credited as the film's director. Sigel captures the band performing as authentically as he does the tiny mundane moments between shows. I love the way he frames Malek on and off.
As for the wardrobe, throughout the film I heard various audience members/numerous viewers say, "Oh, I want that shirt" or "I need those shoes." Malek's clothes as Mercury are necessarily, gloriously over the top. The film's a master class in rock star costume design.
Mike Myers is nearly unrecognizable as EMI executive Ray Foster. His presence in the film is wonderfully cheeky especially since Wayne's World was one of the reasons Bohemian Rhapsody had a resurgence.
Bohemian Rhapsody, much like the 2015 biopic Straight Outta Compton did for NWA, will introduce Queen to a new audience while easily elevating the band's rock god status even higher. Even under all that hype, the film is about four outsiders who made a bunch of fantastic music.
As Mercury says: "We're four misfits who don't belong together playing for the other misfits."

Hilbre Island Run Sunday 5th August 2018.
The second "Run and Swim" this year took place on Sunday, 5th August to take advantage of the low tide that day. The weather was very warm and very sunny.
As previously, there were three run options – a 7.2 mile run (5 miles out to the main island and 2 miles back); a 5-mile run (3 miles out to the main island 2 miles back) and a 4 mile run (2 miles out to the main island and 2 miles back).
Due to family holidays, numbers were slightly down on our June excursion but nevertheless, 37 plus one dog completed the run, and 22 joined in the swim. Nine members completed various pre-Chester Marathon distances of 5, 8 or 10 miles, prior to the event.
We finished off with coffee at the Lattetude Cafe in Dee Lane.
Hopefully we will have another in 2019.
(Report and photos from Ian Chalmers – and from the club, another big thank you to Ian for once again being the organiser of what was a highly enjoyable and very well run event).

I wrote the book following a personal bout with invasive breast cancer to help breast cancer patients and their families understand the physical, emotional and spiritual battles which lay ahead more clearly. It is written in a devotional format, not day by day, but stage by stage. I have stripped off any and all layers of pretense to allow the reader to be honest with herself and her family. We would all like a way around the diagnosis of cancer, but for those of us who must go through it, this book provides a step by step revelation of what to expect along the way. There are chapters written to the husband of the patient from my husband. It is also a tool for presenting the Gospel and the power of the Word of God.
