"Over the years we have come to rely on STC as a first class, very professional service. Their approach to customer service is exemplary."
STC provides intergrated weighing solution to help reduce paper waste.
In 2008 Clays awarded STC their prestigious maintenance contract as it was felt by the company there was a need for change. STC provided a comprehensive site survey to enable the customer to understand fully the nature of the scales which were on the site some of which were linked directly to production presses via some complex software.
In recent years a number of these units started to have problems and it was discovered that the parts were no longer available. Ian then asked STC to investigate how we could supply and install a suitable indicator which could retro fit to both the scale bases which were on site and also interface with the complex software programme. STC's engineer Alex Blake spent 3 or 4 days with various machines and finally it was decided that the best fit was the GSE562 Indicator which could be programmed to replicate any of the software commands which was necessary to control the present machines. We rolled out the first 2 of these soon after and subsequently supplied spare indicators and now have a solution whenever a machine needs to be replaced.
We have also been fortunate enough to supply new stand-alone scales and stand-alone platforms into clays as well as systems which will sheet count and monitor waste. STC are delighted to work with Clays as they are one of the premier book producers in the UK. Andrew Lawrence (Digital Print Manager) said he was 'delighted with the platform scales and was already seeing the benefits in reduced waste'.


So it's time to get started on your table plan, but who should sit on the top table? The answer really depends on whether you want to stick with tradition or not. Below are a few pointers to help you decide.
Bride and Groom in the centre, then both sets of parents and then Maid of Honour and Best Man. Making a top table of 8.
If you already have kids you might like to include them on the top table, either having just Bride and Groom and children or depending on space and numbers including all parties in the traditional set up and having the children as well.
If you are faced with the dilemma of having divorced parents who don't want to sit together the easiest way to deal with this is to mix the parents up, e.g Mother of Bride sits with Father of the Groom etc.
Explain to the step parent that you would love them to be on the top table however there just isn't room and then make sure and mention them in your speech, ensuring they feel included and valued.
Keep the top table just for Bride, Groom, Best Man and Maid of Honour.
This is becoming increasingly more popular. This is a top table designed just for the Bride and Groom. This is a lovely and intimate idea allowing some 'just you' time before the evening entertainment starts and the party gets underway. Usually the Bride and Groom spend much of the evening reception socialising with guests and have very little time together, so this is a great idea that allows you to sit back, take it all in and create some shared memories.
There really are no set rules. Family members will undoubtedly give you their opinions – when it comes to planning all aspects of your wedding, they always do! What really matters is what you as a couple want and as much as other people's input can be useful, make sure the final say is yours.
I hope this has offered some useful guidance – enjoy planning who sits on your top table.

Essay about Swannanoa Palace
Swannanoa Palace is a beautiful mansion that rests atop Afton Mountain in Nelson County Virginia. It was built over an eight year time period by James Dooley as a token of love for his wife, Sallie Dooley. The name was given to their home in honor of Sallie's love for swans and how they choose one mate for life. Construction of this palace was completed in 1912 with the effort of 300 artisans and two contractors. The couple also had another home in Richmond, Virginia. This home was formally known as "Maymont". The name was derived from Sallie's maiden name – May, and the french word for hill – Mont. This home was extraordinary for it's time. It was a 12,000 square foot home that was divided into 33 rooms. The Dooley's were very…show more content…
It also consisted of a library, this was exceptional in it's own, not to mention the the Latin quotations in the woodwork. The walls in the Louis XV style ballroom were covered with golden fabric, it also contains a mantle with angels carved into it's marble surface. Swannanoa was made up of 52 rooms, including the ones mentioned above. The exterior of this palace was just as incredible as the inside. In Rome, there is a building called the Villa Medici, from this, the contractors and artisans created the appearance of Swannanoa. The Dooley's built their palace on 126 acres of land just above the Rockfish Gap. This home is truly astonishing, inside and out. The history of Swannanoa is just as engaging as the palace itself. The history of it being built is something very significant in it's history. The construction of this palace in 1912 was marked at $2 million dollars. However, building a house of those means today would be priced at over $20 million dollars. Swannanoa was built over a time period of eight years. Two contractors were hired from Waynesboro, Va – Mr. Ellis and Virgil Moyer. This palace has had many purposes throughout it's 97 years of existence. It was originally built by James Dooley as a Summer home and a token of love for his wife. After James and Sallie passed away, Swannanoa was sold and turned into Swannanoa Country Club, which was abandoned when the stock market crashed. In 1948, Walter and
An Analysis of William Blake's Poem "London" Essay
In "London", William Blake brings to light a city overrun by poverty and hardship. Blake discards the common, glorifying view of London and replaces it with his idea of truth. London is nothing more but a city strapped by harsh economic times where Royalty and other venues of power have allowed morality and goodness to deteriorate so that suffering and poverty are all that exist. It is with the use of three distinct metaphors; "mind-forg'd manacles", "blackning Church", and "Marriage hearse", that
Conte Poem Analysis Essay
Contraire In "Conte" by Marilyn Hacker, Cinderella shows the reader a glimpse of her life after the childhood tale ends, a less happier ending than the original story implies. She feels trapped in a constant state of misery and boredom in the royal palace. Without life experience guiding her, Cinderella is in a dilemma caused by her ignorance of the potential consequences of her actions. With the use of irony, structure, and diction, "Conte" shows how innocence and naïveté result in regrettable mistakes

Finding Solace At The Blacklist Essay
I recently told an employee of mine that The Blacklist has been fun to watch through its first two episodes of its fourth season. I have always been a big fan of The Blacklist, considering it was the first show I reviewed for SpoilerTV. This may be why I am overly critical of each and every episode, however, I rarely, if ever, belittle the show (even during what I thought was an unsatisfactory and imperfect season three). I find solace in ratings, for some reason, which is why I tend to list them
Rise Of American Theaters And Consumerist Desires
storefront theaters, and vaudeville programs all flourished in the working class districts. By the late 1920s, almost every large American city showed off a new "picture palace," an elaborately constructed movie theater. Moreover, with this transition from previous vaudeville houses and nickelodeons to the rise of these so-called picture palaces in the United States, new spaces of consumerism were forged that focused on enlightening the average spectator as movie moguls such as the notable Samuel "Roxy" Rotahfel
The Eastern Facade Of The Louvre
Louvre was the one of most important architecture in the seventeen century. The Façade is the main entrance for royal palace in its original proposal. However, Louis XIV, who decided to build this architecture with his finance minister, moved to the Château de Versailles as his royal palace. Nowadays, this side of the Louvre is an inconspicuous entrance of the Louvre Museum. As a palace entrance, the eastern Facade of the Louvre responded the traditional chateau in France by the space's quality and its
Taking a Look at Filibusters
Filibusters are quite the conundrum, a pariah of sorts in the realm of U.S. politics, yet an integral part of our body of government. It is imperative that it remains to be kept alive in a warm embrace with the Senate, lest it is reduced to nothing more than a mere accessory to the House of Representatives. By nature, the filibuster is actually a resourceful tactic that utilizes the ideology of free speech to prolong and create an active dialog over legislation or to prevent a measure from being

The Palace Of Versailles Housed The French Government
The Palace of Versailles housed the French government and all its royalty during the reigns of Louis XIV- XVI. After the French Revolution in 1789 however, it was no longer a permanent royal residence for the government or royalty in France. It is located about 10 miles southwest of Paris, beside the settlement of Versailles. Before Louis XIV inherited it, it was little more than a hunting lodge built by Louis XIII, which he turned into a chateau. Soon however, it became one of the largest urban

Carbon steel have many different content of carbon on steel. Too many content of carbon on the steel can have bad effect to the steel quality. This steel may have hard steel but very brittle because the carbon effect on the steel.
Carbon steel material for electroplating should be choose right because the effect of material to the product quality will depend on the raw material. Chromium plating on the carbon steel surface can camouflage the real material, because the performance of surface after coating with chrome is very good and sometime assume be stainless steel that stand to corrosion. Chromium coating on the carbon steel do can protect the steel from chemical reaction, but this effect just can stand for a while. The corrosion itself will run through inside the steel, after period of time the steel will corrode and just left the chromium coating without steel below that. The steel become porous chromium plating and can make dangerous for people who don't know the condition of this steel.
To make chromium plating over the surface of carbon steel, must choose steel material that have good quality, so we can depend on the steel strength. Chromium plating just function as a protection from the corrosion and will damage together with the steel below that coating.


"When I was a new writer, Mary edited some of my work for an article I wrote, and an early chapter of my book. We met a few years ago at The Southern California Writers Conference. It was important for me to find other writers who had published and had experience with writing so I could hopefully learn from them. Mary was always willing to help. As a published writer herself, she provided excellent feedback and detailed explanations, showing me the importance of structure with my writing. She has an interactive editing style that guided me along the writing process without changing my voice.

N. Flying Give a Dramatic Performance with "Lonely"
N. Flying, CNBlue's and F.T. Island's junior group, is back with a new MV and single, "Lonely". If you're still unfamiliar with them, I would highly recommend checking out their work. They officially debuted in Korea only this summer with the song "Awesome", but have been promoting in Japan since 2013.
Like the older groups under FNC Entertainment, N. Flying is also a rock band rather than a traditional idol group. Though FNC's older groups have been around almost as long as Super Junior and Big Bang, it's great to see that the industry hasn't given up on the band idea, with even JYP Entertainment adding band Day6 this year, and N.Flying's coming back to debut in Korea this summer.
The song for their second Korean MV "Lonely" is about the difficulty in letting go of the one you love after the relationship ends. Both the song and the MV do a good job of portraying the sadness and bittersweet nostalgia one might feel when they're left behind with only memories. The melody is very simple and vocalist Lee Seung-hyub's rap-singing lends an interesting conversational quality to the song. It's the sort of song that can be sung along to easily, either very lightly or with all the suppressed emotion of a true break-up, depending on the listeners' needs.
The music video is also very simple, following both the lyrics of the song and the overall feeling. It starts off with Seung-hyub acting as if on a drama set in an old-fashioned styled room while he says, "Today I miserably broke down, by repressing your memory, like the characters in a TV drama and their incomprehensible circumstances. Feels like my own story…" The old-fashioned set (complete with records, typewriter, a rotary phone, and your grandmother's couch) also fits with the next line of the song which references the ancient act of rewinding a movie film. "Sitting in a movie theater every night, like rewinding a film our promise to look to the future is now." The men are also seen later on lying on the floor surrounded by movie reels, again referencing the replaying of their happy memories, which has left them exhausted.
In comparison to the storytelling of the verses where we see the men acting out their emotions as if in a drama, the chorus, which is fully sung rather than rapped, lends itself to more interpretive displays of emotion. First we see guitarist Cha Hun singing as a reflection in a mirror, and then the scene flips to a stylized woodland field in which we also see the members playing their instruments for the first time and where they each stand alone in the darkness as the music swells and they sing the chorus of "lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely love… love me, love me, love me, love me, love again…"
The second verse picks up right where the storytelling left off. Seung-hyub is bemoaning his mistakes while lying in a bathtub fully clothed – remember, "like the characters in a TV drama." It is there where he tells us how it all went wrong. This verse in particular makes the song seem so much more real, that despite being the one to want to go back to the good times, he was actually the one to cause so much strife, and yet he even misses the scolding he had to endure then.
Compared to the angel that you were, I was evil
Our promise hidden behind my feelings
Remaining hidden, I bluff and bluff
Pretend my ears are closed and pierce your heart
I often did what you hated most
I miss your scolding
If I can go back again, if I can go back I won't hurt you…
The moping acting continues as we see Hun slouched at the base of a bookcase and drummer Jae-hyun perched despairingly on top of his washing machine. But as we move again into the chorus, the mood seems to lift slightly. When we see the members all exhausted after a night of replaying those films, the lighting is brighter and reminiscent of the morning sunrise. A door opened onto that scene and again we see doors opening when the four men each step out of the dark box of their memories and walk toward the light. Thinking back now, even when the room itself was dark and they were in despair, each time there was a lamp, a pinpoint of light, somewhere in the darkness.
Finally, in the last chorus, the members move fully out of their drama and not only does their acting change but the lighting and the set as well. They're all on their instruments and performing together as if actually on stage as musicians, and behind them we can see each of the previous sets – the living room, the bathroom, the library, even the piano – all spread out under bright stage lights.
Breaking the fourth wall like this really makes the acting and drama of the beginning that much more noticeable, though not negatively. Cheers to Seung-hyub and the other members for not over-doing their acting. Even with more emphasis placed on those first lines and setting of the song and video, it only seems to add to the absurd nature of going through a break-up and wanting only to hold on to something that's already gone, rather than commenting on their dramatic skills.
As for the song itself, and despite the nature of the lyrics, it is actually incredibly pleasing. The soft piano that flows throughout the entire song contrasts nicely with the drum and electric guitar, just as Hun's light singing contrasts with Seung-hyub's rapping. As I mentioned earlier, his rap-singing has its own flow so that it sounds as if he is simply talking with the listener, which also blends very well with the other members when they sing together in the chorus.
I only wondered about two things while listening to the song — why was the ending so abrupt, and who was playing the violin? If they had answered those questions I could have given them a perfect score, but alas. However, I enjoyed the way they managed to convey the story and feeling behind the lyrics in the music video without an explicit plot line, and though I would have liked to see them playing their instruments for a bit longer, I was pleasantly surprised by the way they displayed their musicianship in the end.
Song: 4.5/5
MV: 4.75/5

First and foremost an historian, I love artistry in almost any form. From music to visual arts to film to textiles to writing, I appreciate all, and critique all. I grew up on Kurosawa movies and now devour everything from Korea and Japan that I can get my hands on. If I'm not watching a K-drama or listening to K-pop, you can find me tracking down East Asian history books published in English, a challenging task indeed.

Brooklyn girl, 15, fatally struck by hit-and-run driver while on her way to school
'Welcome to Me' review: Kristen Wiig triumphs in dark spoof with Wes Bentley, James Marsden and Linda Cardellini
By Joe Neumaier
The darkness here doesn't stay in the wings. Wiig's wiggy performance makes sure of that.
Kristen Wiig is scary.
That's a good thing. It's part of her appeal as a comedian, and crucial in the funny-weird comedy-drama "Welcome to Me," which uses the working-without-a-net aspect of Wiig's humor to unsettling effect.
Wiig plays Alice Klieg, a California woman who has lost her job as a veterinarian's assistant and goes off her meds. She lays around watching old VHS (yes, VHS) tapes of Oprah Winfrey.
Then Alice wins $86 million in the lottery. She moves into a nearby casino hotel and decides to use her money to make her own TV show, called "Welcome to Me" — which she bills as "like 'Oprah,' " except that Alice will be the only focus.
Kristen Wiig is captivated by TV in "Welcome to Me." (Suzanne Hanover/Alchemy)
A loser local cable host, Gabe (Wes Bentley), and his smarmy producer brother (James Marsden) give Alice whatever she wants and keep cashing the checks she writes.
What does she want? First, sex with Gabe. Then she wants to ride onstage every day in a swan-shaped cart, reenact every insult she's endured, and creepily overshare everything in the form of written statements.
Her descent from a flawed-but-real human to a creature of TV appalls her parents, her shrink (Tim Robbins), her friend Gina (Linda Cardellini), and her now-gay ex-husband (Alan Tudyk).
Kristen Wiig (center) comes up a winner in "Welcome to Me." (Suzanne Hanover/alchemy)
But "Welcome to Me" is not just a character study, but a satire on how the self-centered emptiness of TV is a kind of epidemic. The movie takes its lead from other "TV eats the soul" flicks like "Being There" (1980), "The King of Comedy" (1983) and "EDtv" (1999). Director Shira Piven's view of stifling American banality is a wry, pointed satire of how we all crave some kind of fame.
Wiig again displays her gift for seeming both in the moment and apart from it. As in "The Skeleton Twins" last year, and much of her wilder comedy work, she connects to the sad side of satire. Within Alice's deadpan expressions are eyes that stay unfocused until she sees the cameras have switched on.
Eliot Laurence's script, however, doesn't follow through on its darkest intimations, and the film eventually peters out. It ultimately absolves Alice's enabling circle, which includes Joan Cusack and Jennifer Jason Leigh as twitchy TV-biz bottom-feeders.
Yet the end result is still hard to shake. Near the end, when Alice has a breakdown and walks naked through a casino, the movie dares us to be amused by her. The darkness here doesn't stay in the wings. Wiig's wiggy performance makes sure of that.

Brand loyalty is profoundly important to many companies, particularly those marketing to consumers. But increasingly, marketers are realizing that establishing or reinvigorating brand loyalty in digital natives may be quite different than doing so with older generations.
Brands need to appeal to shared values, such as teamwork, to foster brand loyalty.
The term "digital natives," of course, is generally used to refer to younger people who grew up with digital devices. They tend to use digital methods both to shop and to interact with brands. Some marketers, in addition, use "digital native" as an adjectival term to refer to brands that are available online.
If we use only the first definition, how best can brand loyalty be fostered?
The University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School recently devoted a podcast to this topic with two professors. Their advice? First, segment the market appropriately. Both Millennials (born roughly from 1980 to 1996) and Generation Z (born 1997 and after) are digital natives, for example. But in terms of technology news, they are quite distinct.
Even within the generational cohort names, age matters. Millennials, for example, can be close to 40 or in their mid-20s. Appeals to brand loyalty need to reflect their ages as much as their generational identification.
Within that segmentation, marketers need to craft appealing messages for brands. Marlboro, for example, has successful revitalized itself for new generations. But Campbell's struggles, because the current emphasis on healthy and fresh foods is somewhat at odds with the canned soup that has additives.
Oldsmobile, an older car brand, stands as a cautionary tale of how not to approach younger generations. The professors point out that Oldsmobile tried to rebrand itself with the tagline "this is not your father's Oldsmobile" in the late 1980s. But the spokespeople chosen were in fact associated with the 1960s/1970s generation, like former Beatle Ringo Starr. The campaign fell flat.
Not surprisingly, social media is viewed as key to reinvigorating brands for digital natives. Brand loyalty for older generations was frequently partly created by memorable television ads and radio jingles. Though both still exist, they are passé as methods of appealing to new generations. Social media, from Facebook to Instagram to Snapchat and more, are not.
Social media allow brands to communicate the chief ingredient of brand loyalty: the sense of shared values. Observers caution that shared values are one of the only guarantees of continued brand loyalty. Business leadership shouldn't conflate habit — picking up the same product because it's a known quantity and has been used before — with genuine loyalty.
Social media also affords digital natives a space to do what they like. They become brand influencers by interacting with the brand. Digital natives tend to interact with brand messaging much more than older generations, and social media provides that avenue.
Businesses would do well to treat digital natives as co-creators of their brand message. Comments and feedback should be monitored, responded to, and brand messages should be realigned as necessary to incorporate social media feedback.

Q: What are these glitches in my listview when scrolling? I'm writing a file conversion software in QT for Python where you will be able to drag files into the software, click a convert button, and drag out the output files. When a user drags files into the software, all the names of the files are added into a ListView.
When a user drags files into the ListView, it calls the backend.addToPaths(url) function with each of the file paths that were dragged into it. This function then appends all of the file paths into an internal list of file paths, then updates the listview, calling the updateList (paths) function in the main.qml file with all of the file names, which clears the listview and then appends back all of the file names, the old ones, and the new ones dragged in.
All of the file names are added to the list view correctly, but then when I scroll around inside of the list view, it produces these very strange rendering bugs, as shown in this video, or in these images:

At first I thought it could be due to clipping, so I removed that, and nothing changed. I then tried increasing the listview's display margin, and then its cacheBuffer, but it still didn't help. I also tried setting pixelAligned to true, but that still didn't work. I'm guessing it's probably because QT isn't very good at handling listmodels being updated or changed, but I don't really know.
Here's a simplified version of my main.qml file if needed:
ListView {
    id: inputFileView
    // @disable-check M16
    objectName: "inputFileView"
    clip: true
    boundsBehavior: Flickable.StopAtBounds
    flickableDirection: Flickable.VerticalFlick
    displayMarginBeginning: 100
    displayMarginEnd: 100

    function updateList(paths) {
        console.log("updating list");
        inputFileModel.clear();
        paths.forEach( function (item) {
            inputFileModel.append({
                'name': item
            });
        });
    }

    model: ListModel {
        id: inputFileModel
    }
    delegate: Item {
        Row {
            id: row1
            Text {
                text: name
            }
        }
    }

    DropArea {
        anchors.fill: parent
        onDropped: {
            drop.urls.forEach( function (url) {
                backend.addToPaths(url)
            });
        }
    }
}

A: I guess it was a bug with PySide2? I noticed someone replaced the Pyside tag with the PySide2 tag, and I didn't even show the python code that would've clarified that I was using that version, so I wondered if it meant that the issue was only in PySide2, so I switched from that to PySide6, and it worked. I have no idea what was causing it, but I guess it's fine now.

Pizza Express described its half yearly UK performance as 'resilient' following the publication of its latest financial results.
Group earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation were down 16.3% on last year, to £35.1m.
Pizza Express put this down to industry wide cost pressures in the UK and lower operation margins internationally.
Despite this, group turnover grew by 2.5% to £262.8m with lfl sales down at 1.1%.
Underlying like-for-like sales grew by 0.9%, which excluded impact from the adverse weather with that figure down at 0.7% if the conditions were included.
Internationally, things looked stronger for the chain with fifteen new site openings and a sales growth of 10.4%.
