Agile is old. Good and old. The fathers of Agile started experimenting with its principles and practices back in the '80s, when the problem they faced was how to provide a production team with a more sensible way to develop software and deliver actual value to the stakeholders.
What we are seeing today in the most innovative organizations, even outside of the IT industry, is that the underlying values and principles of agility are applied with an holistic approach to all organizational functions (finance, marketing, HR, operations, governance, procurement, production and so forth).
We also seeing how the organizational structure itself and the style of leadership in these organizations have evolved, to be consistent with the way agility works and deliver on its promises.
Among the different challenges (learning new skills and practices, descaling processes, decentralizing decision making and accepting inherent uncertainty, just to name a few) one that is often overlooked how to change the perception of the organization itself, so that it can become a 21st-century, adaptive organization.
In fact, while "traditional" organizations revolved mainly around production — and were therefore perceived through that set of lenses — adaptive organizations include continuous organizational learning and highly-efficient collaboration as part of their operational DNA and of their long-term sustainability and success.
Therefore, one critical question is: how can we help people shifting their perception of "what needs to be done" considering three different, related dimensions? And what are the practical implications of this?
In this session I'm going to share some of the lessons I've learned while helping companies to rethink themselves. I'm not going to provide recipes or instructions (I don't believe those can be replicated in a different context). Rather, I'd like to share the challenges that we encountered and discuss about how the way we faced them helped the organization to grow into an adaptive one.
I'd also like to provide food for thought that might, hopefully, help executives, managers and leaders move in the direction of agility with a clearer sense of direction and more realistic expectations.

Why these House Democrats think Medicare for All is the best path for U.S. health care

Transcript Audio
In the U.S., health care costs continue to rise, insurance is more difficult to obtain and millions lack access to care entirely. As a result, some House Democrats want to implement a single-payer, universal coverage system in which all costs are paid by the federal government. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., talks to Amna Nawaz about the benefits of expanding Medicare for all Americans.
Speaking of the Democratic Party's agenda, health care is a big part of it, and specifically a push to expand health care coverage and to lower costs.
But there are many different ideas within the party on how to do that and just how far to go. Many have been loosely referred to as Medicare for all.
Even so, there's a new bill in the House that is considered the most comprehensive version of Medicare for all.
Amna Nawaz explores what it might do and how it could affect the political conversation.
Amna Nawaz:
Well, Judy, you might remember Medicare for all from the 2016 platform of Senator Bernie Sanders.
But there's an even more ambitious plan now in the House. It would move the U.S. to a single-payer, government-run health care system. Every American would be able to go to the doctor, or the hospital, or get prescriptions without paying anything out of pocket. Hospitals would be paid lump sums to manage, not paid by patient visits or procedures.
Even long-term care for people with disabilities or home health services would be covered. And the plan for this total health care overhaul would take effect in just two years.
There's no price tag yet, but some estimate a cost of trillions or tens of trillions over 10 years.
Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal of Washington state is the lead co-sponsor of the bill, and she joins me now.
Congresswoman, welcome back to the "NewsHour."
Let's start about with what Americans think of your plan. Broadly speaking, there's a lot of support. Over 70 percent say they like the idea. When you drill into details, you ask people about delays in care or higher taxes, that support drops off significantly, down to 25 and 37 percent.
So what is your message to the people who like the idea, but don't like the details or the impact?
Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash.:
Well, here's the thing that is so important about this.
It is not a government-run system, number one, because we use the same existing system of doctors and hospitals that is already there. And I think sometimes people confuse what is in our plan. All we're saying is, you can see the doctor and the hospital of your choice, in fact, more choice than you have right now, with insurance plans that — private insurance plans that continue to limit that.
The only thing we are changing is who pays for that. So instead of having five insurance plans, instead of having to argue with the insurance company about what's covered or not covered, which facility is in or out of that network, you can go see anyone you want and get comprehensive care.
Now, the second thing is, Medicare is a very popular system. And it already exists today for our seniors. And what we have done is, we have expanded and improved upon that Medicare system. So, instead of having to buy an additional Medicare Advantage plan for vision, hearing and dental, we cover that for everybody, same thing with mental health and substance abuse.
And then we say, instead of just applying to seniors, it applies to everyone, so expanded and improved Medicare.
And then, in terms of the transition, I would remind people two years seems so hard to imagine, but, in fact, Social Security was implemented within one year, and there were no computers, nothing existed there to actually be able to do that.
So this plan is about making sure that every American gets guaranteed universal health care, and that is something that every major peer country of ours already has, and it is affecting our people. People are dying. They're having to choose…
Congresswoman, let me ask you about what some of those people are saying, though.
In their concern about the plan, they do say they don't want to have to pay higher taxes for it. You haven't proposed in your plan how this would be paid for. So how would you pay for it?
Yes, thanks for the question.
So, we already cover about two-thirds of people through Medicaid and Medicare. So, two-thirds of the costs are already taken care of. The other third, we have a number of different ways in which you could pay for it, including that employers are already paying enormous premiums to insurance companies. They could pay just a fraction of that into this plan and create some of that money that we need.
And then we can have a tax on millionaires and billionaires. We can roll back tax loopholes. We have never had really a conversation about why it's so important to keep the costs of our health care system down, right now, 19 percent of GDP, that's double what any other industrialized country in the world pays already.
One of the criticisms, I should point out, is that your plan doesn't include any efforts to bring down the cost of health care before the government would essentially take over the system.
So are you worried about that? I mean, there are people who will say, look, it already costs so much, why not work to do that first?
No, actually, that's the beauty of our plan, is it has cost containment built into it through using something called global budgets, which is a really important tool for building in cost containment.
And it allows, on pharmaceutical drugs, dramatically brings down the price, probably to 50 percent of what pharmaceutical drugs now cost. And we do that through required negotiation of drug prices, which we already have in the VA, but we don't have in the Medicare system.
There is the situation of having to transfer — transition, rather, over 150 million Americans who are currently privately insured to this single-payer system.
I want to run by you something the health and human services secretary, Alex Azar, said today when he was asked about a Medicare for all plan. He first attacked it as a government takeover of health care.
But then he said this. He said: "The best doctors are going to jump out of the program. They will be paid under market rates. To get quality care, you will end up going outside the system if you have got the money the do so."
So, my question is, is that a concern, that you end up making a two-tier system, where people who can afford to go out of it do?
Actually, it's the opposite.
Because we would be covering everybody and we wouldn't allow duplicative care, which is how we operate with Medicare right now, we believe that the majority of doctors will actually get paid either the same or a little bit more. Some specialty doctors might have to earn a little bit less, but everyone will get the same care.
You don't have to be rich, you don't have to be poor, but you get quality health care. That's actually one of the huge benefits of the system we have proposed, vs. the system that we have now, 30 million people uninsured, 40 million people underinsured, two-thirds of all bankruptcies in this country because of medical costs.
That's wrong. And we need to end that.
Finally, Congresswoman, it's fair to say you have an uphill legislative battle, not just against the Republicans who control the Senate, but some of your own party members don't really love this plan.
Is the idea here, by pushing to a very, very ambitious — there's nothing incremental about this plan — is the idea that you change the conversation so that more incremental steps are maybe more palatable?
We really are all about passing this plan. It sounds ambitious, only because health care in this country is so broken. But the reality is, every industrialized country in the world provides this. Why is it that the United States, the richest country in the world, cannot guarantee health care for every single person in this country?
Right now, we spend double what other countries spend, and we have more mothers dying in childbirth, we have more babies who are dying in terms of our infant mortality rates, and our life expectancy is the lowest of all our peer countries.
Again, this is not a particularly ambitious plan, in the sense that so many others have done it. The United States should be leading on this issue. And I think this is the plan that gets us there.
Just a few seconds left here, Congresswoman.
I want to ask you about the idea of something being medically necessary, right? Those are the things that would be covered as part of this plan. Wouldn't that change based on who's in charge, what people deem necessary and not?
We actually specify very clearly what is actually in it, what is covered. So, dental vision, comprehensive care, reproductive care, substance abuse, all of those things are detailed in our bill. It's a very comprehensive bill. It's over 150 pages.
We put a lot of thoughts into it. And it really is a real transformation of our health care system, so that everybody in the United States doesn't have to go to bed worrying about where they get their care.
Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, thank you very much for your time.

Q: Mysql query to sum column based on different month criteria I have a table with the following fields
Suf_id | Category | Subcategory | Collection | Vendor | quantity_sold | sales | month | year
I want to sum the quantity_sold and sales column for the last 1 month, last 3 month, and last 12 month based on the selected year duration in a single mysql query.
I have tried the following query.
SELECT `category`, `subcategory`, `collection`, `vendor_id`,
   (SELECT SUM(quantity_sold)
      FROM `sales_upload_file` as s2
      where file_month = 5
          and file_year = 2017

         and s2. `vendor_id` = s1.vendor_id) as month_3_sold,
   (SELECT SUM(sales)

I am getting an error subquery return more than 1 row
Your help would be appreciated.

A: I think you can change your query this way (I couldn't do any test since you didn't post create script and sample data: pls post them to have more help):
    SELECT s1.category

Medical scientists may yet to fully understand the cause of POTS, but this medical condition, along with its symptoms, can be addressed with non-pharmacological treatments. In this entry, we will talk about the most common measures doctors recommend for people suffering from POTS. It is however, important to note that treatments for POTS, pharmacological or not, should be customized according to the patient's needs, as people react to different treatments depending on the sub type of POTS and their body's responses. Thus, it is important to always speak to your doctor before making any treatment plans.
After a large meal, a large percentage of our blood gets redirected to help in digestion process. For patients of POTS, this can easily magnify the symptoms. Thus, it is highly recommended to take several smaller meals throughout the day than the standard three large ones.
Experts suggest eating more lean protein such as salmon, chicken breasts (skinned), skim milk, and low fat yogurt, and cutting down on simple carbs such as flours and refined sugars.
Patients of POTS who suffer from gastrointestinal symptoms are recommended to speak to their doctors and get checked for Celiac Disease. Some blood tests for this disease require eating gluten for a couple of weeks or more prior to the test, thus, don't switch to gluten-free diet entirely until after your speak with your doctor about the possible test for Celiac blood. There seems to be another group of people who are non-Celiac gluten sensitive, which is why it is important to test even if you don't have Celiac disease.
The best way to test if being non-Celiac gluten sensitivity is what causes or contributes to gastrointestinal symptoms is to take gluten-free diet on a trial basis. Also, some people notice excellent benefits in just short period of time.
Caffeine may be helpful for POTS, but not for everyone. Thus, it is important to examine if caffeine intake really helps, or if you should avoid it entirely.
Just like gluten, some people may be lactose intolerant, while others are allergic to milk. Some patients of POTS say they feel less of their symptoms after cutting down their intake of dairy products. Note that, people who are lactose intolerant can still consume small amount of daily products, depending on their sensitivity. Also, there are supplements available that contains the lactase enzyme helpful for lactose digestion. Should you decide to eliminate dairy, make sure you have a good source of calcium for your diet.
Alcohol can easily worsen POTS symptoms, as it causes the human body to dehydrate easily, which leads to hypotension through dilation of veins.
We all know the importance of physical activity for general health, and how it can contribute to treatment of various physical and medical conditions. For POTS patients, doctors suggests aerobic exercise such as biking, swimming, rowing, and exercises that focuses on strengthening of the core and legs to aid against POTS symptoms.

APPEARS IN Top Stories Events
NRA's Fourth Annual Great American Outdoor Show Continues Successful Traditions
by Jason J. Brown - Wednesday, February 15, 2017
The 2017 Great American Outdoor Show, held Feb. 4-12 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, was a huge success and another great year for the world's largest consumer outdoor show!
The fans that packed into the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex set a record for show attendance, marking the highest one-day total of visitors in the show's four-year history.
In total, more than 200,000 attendees came from across the country (and in some cases, around the world) to explore the 650,000 square feet of outdoor exhibits, featuring nearly 500 hunting and fishing outfitters and charters, 1,100 exhibitors, celebrity appearances, expert seminars, music, food and much more as part of the nine-day celebration of everything outdoors.
A staple of the show since the NRA assumed production in 2014, the massive shooting sports hall attracted huge crowds throughout the nine days, featuring firearms, ammo, gear and more from the world's top manufacturers.
Returning this year was the sensational DockDogs event, wherein tens of thousands of spectators watched high-flying pooches demonstrate their athletic ability by jumping from a dock into a splash pool in pursuit of flying toys. A crowd favorite last year, DockDogs proved again to be a marquee attraction, filling the arena for each presentation.
The Small Arena events captured the imagination and wonder of spectators, including the majestic educational demonstrations birds of prey by Raptors Up Close, the archery trick-shot mastery of Chris Brackett, and others.
Interactive events put attendees in the action, including the NRA Air Gun Range and NRA Range Experience, the latter allowing participants to shoot through a course of fire designed by NRA expert trainers using air gun replicas of popular rifles and pistols. Over in the Kid's Casting Contest, each kid that entered to demonstrate his or her fishing skills received a free fishing rod. After nine days, more than 700 kids had taken home a new rod!
The 3D Bowhunter Challenge Presented by Kinsey's Outdoors, which pitted aspiring archers against a crowded field in pursuit of trophies and cash prizes, welcomed an increase in participants from last year's show, with more spectators watching them shoot their way through the 30-shot course.
This year, a star-studded lineup, including legendary big game hunter Jim Shockey, the colorful Brian "Pigman" Quaca, huntress Melissa Bachman, chopper crafters Paul Sr. and Mikey Teutul from Orange County Choppers and more scheduled appearances and meet-and-greets throughout the show, signing autographs and snapping photos with fans.
Parents and kids alike raved about the NRA Eddie Eagle GunSafe Program Kids Zone, an interactive exhibit where children could take a break from the halls of taxidermy, compound bows and camo jackets to get their face painted, shoot some hoops, snag some cool giveaways and learn about wildlife, all while taking in valuable gun safety information from NRA experts.
In keeping with show traditions, fan favorite vendors returned to the show to peddle their tasty treats, including Wild Pennsylvania wild game jerky, as well as the famous PA Dairyman's Association milkshakes who earned their reputation at the annual Farm Show in the same building. Fans also munched on Amish pretzels, pickles, and a smorgasbord of other foods perfect for hearty appetites powered by the busy days at the show.
As expected, the NRA Country Concert on Saturday Feb. 11 brought the house down, as Tara Thompson, Granger Smith (and his alter-ego Earl Dibbles, Jr.) and headliner Dustin Lynch rocked the Large Arena to a packed house.
The 2017 Great American Outdoor Show may be over, but it's never too early to begin planning for next year's show! We return to Harrisburg Feb. 3-11, 2018, for our fifth year of America's premier outdoor lifestyle show, so be sure to mark your calendars to be part of the tradition!

Coinbase's CEO Warns Newcomers To Crypto To Jump In Slowly
Brian Armstrong is concerned about cryptocurrency newcomers losing in a big way.
"We cannot emphasize enough how important it is to understand that investing in crypto is not without risk," Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, wrote.
"The market can move in either direction much faster than equity markets," he said.
He wanted to highlight the incredible volatility traditional investors aren't accustomed to with other products they may see in their retirement funds.
"We likewise caution investors who may be focusing on short-term speculation and encourage customers to seek out resources and consult financial advisers to better understand the risks associated with investing in cryptocurrencies," Armstrong said.
During Bitcoin's last run-up, in 2017, he told Fortune for a cover story on the cryptocurrency's stupendous rise that "we are probably in a bubble."
In 2017, the market value of all cryptocurrencies slightly exceeded half-a-trillion dollars. Today, the industry's total market value has exploded above $670 billion as of press time.
Industry observers have noted the latest run is different from previous jumps as more large investors and corporations are getting in on the digital investment. Fintech-trailblazer Square, tech firm Microstrategy, and life insurer Mass Mutual are among the companies that have bought up Bitcoin. Also many hedge funds and asset managers are buying up Bitcoin.
Ultimately, Armstrong tells people not to do anything too rash during this moment of exuberance. "For those who believe in the potential of crypto, we also all have to believe that we're still in the very early stages and that there's a lot more to come," he said.

Crypto is crapo. I wouldn't touch it if they were giving it away for free. It is just one giant pyramid scheme and the ones on the bottom will always get screwed.

Online casinos were not badly popular during the 'strict' quarantine when we all became hostages of our flats and houses. But I gave special preference to the guys from https://top100.casino . It often happens that you're unlucky at bets, but at the same time, the slots will "twist" you a lot of money, and vice versa. So it's very convenient when everything is gathered in one place.

Thought for the day 15th May 2020
Today, it's exactly two months since the church community in Fairwarp last met in Christ Church on 15th March. And, of course, it has been the same for all churches across the country, and all other places of worship. Public religious practice has ceased, except via the internet. There, a multitude of different religious offerings are available; you can find, observe and even join in with a range of worship options in a kind of public spiritual marketplace, a sort of on-line religious supermarket. Things have changed.
At first, the Church of England saw this as a prompt to become a different kind of church, where we could all focus on serving the community around us. And many church communities have been brilliantly active in supporting others in their locality since closure. That's great - but not exactly a new idea. Over the past weeks, debate has been continuing about what church buildings are for, and why they matter. What seems to be emerging is that our church buildings are precious to people in a way that vicars and other church officials may not quite understand.
One of the flower artists who last Friday decorated the porch of Christ Church for the VE Day commemoration said: 'I know I don't go to church, but it's still my church.' That sense of ownership is profound. The church building belongs to everyone in the community: sacred space and common ground.

Mandarin language study has been an important part of Jhoneidy Javier's Haverford experience. The comparative literature major has devoted four years to it, including attending a language-intensive study abroad program at Capital Normal University in Beijing last fall and producing a senior thesis that includes analysis of the 1878 Chinese-language Zhang Changjia memoir Opium Talk. Now he will have another chance to use his Mandarin as the recipient of a Princeton in Asia (PiA) Fellowship.
As part of that program, Javier will spend the next year living on campus and teaching English to first-years and sophomores at Wuhan University of Technology, more than 700 miles south of the capital of the world's most populous nation. He applied to the program—which funds travel, room, board, and a monthly stipend for fellows—because he wanted to gain teaching experience and to return to China to continue his own language and cultural studies there.
Javier is looking forward to immersing himself in the local community in Wuhan, as he did in Beijing during his semester abroad. ("After the initial culture shock, I was happily surprised that I had become so comfortable in such a new place," he said.) He has been an integral part of the Haverford community, too, SURGE Mentorship Program, serving as the Students' Council's Officer of Multiculturalism, and helping to lead the Black Students League. He is also a member of the 2018–2019 Haverford cohort of the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship, which aims to diversify the faculty ranks of higher education by providing resources for underrepresented students to pursue their doctorates.
After his year in Wuhan, Javier aims to attend graduate school either for English or comparative literature, and he sees his PiA fellowship as laying a vital foundation for his eventual career as a professor.
Since 1898, PiA has fostered mutual appreciation and cultural understanding by connecting service-minded American graduates and Asian partner organizations through immersive work experiences that benefit local and global communities. Currently, PiA sponsors over 150 fellowships in 22 countries.
For Javier his fellowship is the latest step on a promising academic and professional path for which he has worked hard but didn't even know he should aspire until relatively recently.


In case you are a typical computer user, you may possibly not be very informed about USB flash drives E-liquid also referred to as USB memory sticks, thumb drives, etched-liquid. Even if you absolutely have a USB flash drive or two, the most recent modern technology is impressive and fewer high-priced compared to what was available a couple of years ago. By far the most remarkable engineering jump has happened in the level of memory USB flash drives can take. These days, 32GB USB memory sticks the actual size of an organization card is less expensive than 200 dollars. 32GB of memory is far more memory than some personal computers have! And 64GB USB flash drives have recently grown to be accessible.
USB flash drives are also distinctly resilient when compared with other additional safe-keeping units like Compact disks and DVD videos. Considering that thephotostick danmark are made with reliable-condition E-liquid no transferring parts-liquid modern technology and so are encased within a resilient plastic shell, they might require no particular dealing with like Compact disks and DVD videos do. A newly released Client Records impartial clinical test demonstrated that some USB memory sticks can endure several hours around the dashboard of the hot automobile and some even made it through washing and drying as though they had been kept in a jeans pocket.
Yet another attribute that USB flash drives have that could be advantageous is because they provide almost endless spin and rewrite-potential. Some USB pencils have tested effectively on more than 500,000 rewrites. This spin and rewrite capacity makes USB memory sticks a great information storage option once your info modifications every day. If you have a routinely current Expression paperwork or have a modest data processing company in which you should back up your computer day-to-day, this rewrite-capability can be a significant plus.
For their big safe-keeping potential and sturdiness, USB memory sticks can be the best way to store crucial photos, video clips, and files without the need of worry that an unintentional damage will corrupt your files. USB flash drives also use up hardly any place, to help you easily add more them to your safe down payment pack or fireproof package. Or, if support up information as outlined above, falling your USB flash drive with your handbag, bank account, or attaché case will not danger its info dependability. Ultimately, USB flash drives are ideal for those who work towards various computer systems regularly. Some USB memory sticks let you save your valuable personal computer apps, utilities, and personal aments. This enables you to get your requirements along to any personal computer that has a USB harbor. Considering that almost every pc today has a number of USB ports, personal details mobility is actually a snap if you utilize your customized USB drive. For some people, this transportability and compatibility is practically absolutely essential.

Cammell Laird recruits 20 new apprentices taking investment to £19million
Merseyside UK shiprepairer, shipbuilder, and engineering services company Cammell Laird has recruited 20 new apprentices to its workforce.
The famous Birkenhead company says it has completed the most rigorous recruitment process ever undertaken with the 20 recruits starting their four-year apprenticeship this autumn at a cost of £250,000-a-year and £1million in total.
Cammell Laird chief operating officer Tony Graham said the new starters will take the total number of apprentices recruited into the business to 270 since 2008 with an ambition to take on 20 more every year. To date the company has invested more than £18million in its apprentice programme making it one of the biggest in the UK maritime industry and Northern Powerhouse region. The latest in-take will take the investment to £19million.
"We warmly welcome our new apprentices to their roles," he said. "The sky is the limit for apprentices here at Cammell Laird with many of our senior management including myself and our CEO John Syvret starting their careers as an apprentice. The message we want to give young people, their parents, schools and colleges is that an apprenticeship offers as much opportunity as a university degree. At Cammell Laird you can start your career learning on the job, giving you the skills and training required for a high achieving career. You can become productive quickly and you will be financially better off than many young people going to university as you are effectively being paid to learn rather than having to get into debt. Then the apprenticeship is designed to secure a well-paid skilled job on completion with the company. We should also emphasize that by joining Cammell Laird you can help make a genuine difference to our community. Cammell Laird's success helps underpin job and wealth creation on Merseyside and we've been able to generate £350million for the local and UK economy since 2013 employing 1500 direct and indirect workers and 300 small business suppliers at peak times."
Mr Graham said this year's in-take is drawn from the Merseyside region and is aged between 16 and 27.
"We want to issue a positive message built around Cammell Laird's future order book with customers like the Royal Fleet Auxiliary, the Royal Navy and BAE Systems – we have lots of work over the next ten years (see work pipeline below)," he said. "But there is a skills gap on Merseyside and in the maritime industry. We cannot find all the people and skills we need so we are having to invest into training the next generation hence why we really want schools to get behind the job opportunities here. We have shown by building the RRS Sir David Attenborough that Cammell Laird is back in the 'premier league' of shipbuilding, building iconic world-famous ships. And the new group of apprentices were able to board the new polar ship for the recent Royal ship naming with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge which sent a very strong message to them about the opportunities they have at Cammell Laird. We urge more young people to follow our apprentices and think of a career in engineering and maritime and join us on our upward trajectory."
Mr Graham said the new apprentices will be divided into mechanical fitters, pipefitters, platers and welders.
"We have been working with our partner the Engineering College, which neighbours the shipyard, on recruiting the apprentices who will now undertake their training at the college," he said. "This was a thorough five-stage recruitment process that saw 100 people apply initially which was eventually reduced to the final 20 recruits. We looked at their educational achievements, community activities and then undertook a team-building day before staging interviews with the HR and production departments. We know a large number of those who just missed out, on being selected, will be able to come back next year stronger and stand a great chance of securing an apprenticeship with greater understanding of what we are looking for."
APPRENTICE VOXPOPS
Callum Duncan
I am proud to be an apprentice at Cammell Laird because of its specialist engineering services and illustrious history in British industry. I am delighted to have been given the opportunity to complete the apprenticeship course and become a skilled tradesman. Also my dad has worked at Cammell Laird for over 25 years and become a valued member of a team, which makes him the perfect role model for me because I am starting in the same position as he did with a goal to go on a similar career path.
Callum Sudlow.
Being the oldest apprentice on the course I consider myself lucky, aged 27, I thought I would be too old to be considered for one of the places.
I have a son and partner, so to be given the chance to better myself, gain a qualification and a trade to provide a better quality of life for my family is something I won't take for granted. I think it's great that Cammell Laird is open to giving people of different ages an opportunity to gain an apprenticeship.
Harry Ball
As a young apprentice at the age of 16, Cammell Laird has allowed me to take the opportunity to become a qualified engineer by the age of 20 with their 4 year engineering course. This is a very exciting opportunity for me as my dad and both my grandfathers worked at the yard and it is brilliant become part of a famous local company with an illustrious history. Apprenticeships open more paths to employment and becoming self reliant.

MoraySky has invested in advanced equipment to deliver our services to our customers. We operate the sophisticated DJI Inspire 1 remotely piloted aircraft, commonly known as a drone or a quadcopter, for aerial filming and photography and for surveys and inspection work.
DJI Inspire1 with X3 12MB & 4K Camera
The Inspire 1 is fully stabilised using global positioning system (GPS) satellites to provide an ideal platform for aerial videography and photography. It is often described as a tripod in the sky. Weighing under 3kg, its integrated design allows it to carry 2 types of inter-changeable camera.
The original Zenmuse X3 camera and gimbal is capable of filming video at UHD (4K), FullHD (1080p) and HD (720p) and taking stills up to 12MP. We also have recently released Zenmuse X5 with a larger Micro Four-Thirds (MFT) 16MP sensor with the ability to use a number of lens from wide-angle to telephoto and zoom. It can also record video at UHD, FullHD and HD but with an improve low light performance. Its retractable landing gear allows the camera to move through a full 360 degrees.
The aircraft uses 2 types of high capacity Lithium Polymer (LiPo) intelligent flight batteries given typically between 9 and 15 mins useable flight time. The LiPo batteries require careful management to ensure safe operations and in flight reliability. Failure to manage the batteries correctly can lead to lose of the aircraft and, if damaged, intense fire.
The Inspire 1 can be operated by a single controller for piloting and camera control or with dual controllers for separate pilot and camera operator.
This Inspire 1 has been modified to add 2 high intensity strobe lights (HISL) – front and back – to aid visual line of sight tracking and as a warning to other aircraft. These are in fact the Lezyne Zecto Pro LED cycle lamps.

Airbus is Creating Its Own Cargo Airline called Airbus Beluga Transport
Airbus said on Tuesday that it is renting out its massive Beluga aircraft to third parties.
The whale-shaped planes are typically employed to transport major aircraft parts, such as wings and fuselage sections, between the company's European plants.
Airbus is launching Airbus Beluga Transport, a new airline that will fly huge goods for space, oil and gas businesses, and armies.
Philippe Sabo, Head of Airbus Transport International, said: "The aircraft were designed for 30,000 flight cycles. And today, on average, they have only flown 15,000 flight cycles. They are at their midlife, so we expect [another] 15 to 20 years of operations from them."
"ATI [Airbus Transport International, the manufacturer's current outsize cargo division] will start the operation, and will be the first step of this new business model. Then, in 2023 we will have the creation of a new airline," he added.

Food for Time Travelers at Vino's Brewpub in Little Rock.
The big buzz about the old haunts at 7th and Chester is in recalling the hallowed days of the old DMZ. But for 18 years out of those past two decades since the locale shook with the sounds of punk and early alternative rock, the smell of dough and suds has permeated the music-soaked air.
Vino's isn't haute cuisine. There's no big claim to fame on its bill of fare, just hearty hand-slung pies and calzones, sandwiches and salads, semi-Italian pub fare to go with housemade brews and imported ales. But what more does one need to feed upon when escaping Suit-Land at lunch?
Orders are still taken at the counter, and pies are delivered to your table via comic cards (I was handed a Captain America with my iced tea to wait for my late afternoon lunch). Local art is loud and vibrant and for sale for a reasonable price. The walls and ceiling may bear marks of years past, but the restaurant itself is scrubbed.
You tend to overlook the bent fork with your lunch, the wobbly pie pan on which it's served, the overly loud alternative music that's not quite in the background. What you do savor is a significant amount of hot mozzarella and ricotta cheeses cased in a biscuit-dough calzone crust, packed with all manners of veggies (green peppers, black olives, fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, onions) with that hot metal ramekin of basil-spiked pizza sauce on the side (Vegetable Calzone $7.31, calzones start at $6.12) in a 10" long crescent that's just a bit more than the average lunch-bound desk jockey can comfortably consume in one sitting.
Of course, there's plenty of suds... including a special Holiday Ale with spices served up warm this time of year. Vino's does have a really fine selection of housebrewed ales, porters, and stouts (I especially dig their stouts, when I am in a position to imbibe).
Of course, there will be a
big crowd tonight for the big DMZ reunion... but long after former DMZ denizens have packed their trench coats and army jackets back into mothballs, you'll still be able to catch a mug and a Margherita pie at Vino's. Corner of 7th and Chester, (501) 375-8466 or check out the website. Open at some point every day of the week. Check out the website.

Sound School students ready to implement winning business plan
Jennifer Swift
Published 12:00 am EDT, Sunday, May 19, 2013
NEW HAVEN -- Student Ryan Beebe had business cards in hand and money on his mind while he and partner Etienne Recapet presented their business plan to a panel of judges.
The students were two of 27 seniors at the Sound School vying for the top prize in the school's entrepreneurship competition, the culmination of a year-long class and original business plan.
The duo's business, Beebe Boat Works, snagged the first-place spot, which awards them $250 for their business.
They now go onto a competition with the finalists from other schools in the city to be held later this month at Quinnipiac University.
The two students learned early on in the class passion and skills are just a few of the ingredients that go into creating a business -- and that recipe includes calculating plenty of math.
Before an audience of fellow classmates, students from other grades, teachers and the panelists, the two explained the different facets of their business where they offer to bottom paint, wash/wax or shrink-wrap boats. With that came an explanation about their income, investment, financing, philanthropy and other information.
"Whereas some kids are just doing it for the class project aspect -- they're taking it seriously, as something they can do as a real job," said Steve Joseph.
Joseph is the director of admissions for the school and the co-teacher of the class, along with Pam Ertelt.
Beebe said they came up with the idea as he lives on a boat for much of the summer and had learned to do different tasks on the boat from his dad. He partnered with Recapet to start the business through the class.
Each of the business partners presented their ideas Thursday for seven minutes, followed by questions from the panel.
While not all students plan to execute their plans as fully as Beebe Boat Works, Joseph said they still get valuable lessons from it. They learn about finances, time management, business skills, marketing, public speaking, writing and a litany of others.
"Entrepreneurship doesn't have to mean you start your own business," he said. "You can also think in that mindset, like an entrepreneur and still work for someone else and think creatively."
Beebe and Recapet told the judges they plan to fully execute their business and it's already in the works. Beebe said some friends saw the work he did on his father's boat and asked him to work on theirs, and he made a profit. He and Recapet figured they were already doing something, and doing it well, so why not turn it into a business?
"We were thinking about doing it -- but this class made us think about it organized -- how to make money, how much it will cost," he said.
Beebe Boat Works is open for business. To reach them, email Etienne.recapet@gmail.com.


Each bankruptcy case is unique. While there are many options for keeping your current vehicle during bankruptcy, in some cases it makes sense to surrender your vehicle and walk away from the debt. Fortunately, there are options to obtaining a different vehicle during an open bankruptcy case, so you are not trapped in a bad car loan.
Obtaining a car loan during an open Chapter 7 bankruptcy does not require any special permission from the bankruptcy court or from the trustee. However, it is wise to consult with your bankruptcy attorney prior to entering into the agreement, especially if you are providing a substantial down payment. Your attorney can ensure that the money you use as a down payment is not "property of the bankruptcy estate" that the trustee may ask you to turn over.
In the past lenders would not finance a vehicle loan until after the debtor's Chapter 7 discharge. Today, many banks are savvy and knowledgeable about the bankruptcy process and will finance a debtor prior to discharge. Your financial stability will play an important part in the lending process, including your income, job history, and whether you have a history of financial problems. A Chapter 7 debtor with a good job and few post-discharge debts is often a better credit risk than someone with a poor job history and a substantial debt load. In most cases the lender will require a substantial down payment, but this varies from bank to bank. It is often easier to obtain financing for the purchase of a new car using financing from the manufacturer.
The process of obtaining a vehicle loan during a Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a collaborative effort between you, your attorney, the lender, the car dealership, and the bankruptcy trustee. A car loan during a Chapter 13 case requires the permission of the bankruptcy trustee, and you must show that the vehicle is necessary for the successful completion of your bankruptcy plan. If the vehicle is needed to get to work, that is usually reason enough. The trustee will limit the monthly payment amount for your vehicle purchase. Of course, the lender requires assurances from the trustee's office that the loan is authorized. Your attorney will need to file an amended Chapter 13 plan to account for the new car payment and amend other bankruptcy documents to show your ability to pay the new amount. The bankruptcy court will then approve the proposed amendments.
Financing a vehicle during bankruptcy is not unusual. The key is being financially responsible and not over spending for reliable transportation. Your bankruptcy attorney can help guide you through the process during your bankruptcy, as well as discuss your ability to afford a new car.
