TIM B'S TECH TALK
Early Edition 2
Early Edition 2 by Glasshouse Apps is the second iteration of this app, following the initial release of Early Edition One. Known for its classic newspaper style layout, the latest version introduced a brand new, redesigned interface that capitalizes on swiping gestures to quickly access controls. Apple abruptly abandoned skeuomorphism, but Early Edition 2 distinguishes itself from other newsreaders with virtual scrolling news rolls to refresh articles and intern memo envelopes that animate to send out shared articles. The app also includes virtual drawers or cardboard boxes to store saved articles in Readability. This app is arguably the most innovative of all news readers.
Linkedin Pulse by LinkedIn
Pulse made its appearance in the news reader market in December 2011. Since then, it has been one of the leading news apps for the iPad and more recently the iPhone. Pulse introduced a scrolling tile interface that enables you to navigate articles vertically and horizontally, including the ability to save articles to your own personal library to read later. In the spring of 2013, Pulse was acquired by Linkedin, but, for the most part, maintaining the same features and tile interface, but simplifying the layout for a cleaner and more seamless experience. Of course, LinkedIn, along with Twitter and Facebook is a primary source for sharing articles. Microsoft purchased LinkedIn so the app is no longer supported on iOS.

Who were Marie Sophie Henault-Canada's parents?
My struggle answering this question typifies the trouble I've had researching all of my First Nation ancestors. See my stories about St. Anne and Louis Riel .
It's clear that my four-times great grandmother Marie Sophie (or Séraphie) Henault-Canada was born in the Red River Settlement on April 6, 1818, to parents Marie and Charles Henault-Canada. But who was her father and where did he come from? And who was her mother?
According to notes left to me by my grandmother, Sophie was born to Marie Gris, who was born in an unidentified location on October 30, 1802, and Charles Henault-Canada, who was born in 1793 in Berthier, Quebec. I haven't been able to find records of his birth in Quebec, so I'm not sure whether that information is accurate.
In fact, it's hard to confirm any of the information because the documents I've found so far seem to conflict and some information can't be confirmed.
The 1870 Manitoba Census shows a Manitoba-based location in which Sophie was born that looks a bit like "territorial something," that could refer to the Red River Settlement. In that document, Marie is listed as "Marie Henault" and she appears next to her husband, Charles Henault. Marie, Charles and Sophie are all described as French-speaking Catholic Métis.[1]
Marie and Charles both have 1810 listed as their birthdates in the 1870 Manitoba Census, a rather extraordinary coincidence I think. Marie Hénault is listed in the 1870 Manitoba Census as 60 years old, however, so the birthdate for her might be correct. If it is, a different Marie may have been Sophie's mother.
A Hudson Bay Company Census conducted the same year[2] doesn't list a Marie Henault, but it does show Marie Gris living on a farm on lot 8 in Pointe-des-Chênes with her daughter, granddaughter and another woman and her child. A second house on the same lot is home to Sophie's aunt Catherine and her husband Francois Ducharme.[3]
Her older daughter Sophie was married to Dominique Ducharme-Charron by then. The couple was living on lot 27 with four of their children Johnny 19, Roger 17, Joseph 13 and Marie, 12.[4]
The Hudson Bay Census also lists Sophie's father, Charles Henault/ Heneault/ Haineault/ Henault dit Canada/ Enaud dit Canada/ Enaud/ Enault "Métis, born 1810; farmer in his life time" as dead, although the document doesn't say when exactly he died. My grandmother doesn't show a date for that either. Perhaps he died that very year, 1870?
The date 1810 next to Charles' name might refer to the date he arrived in the Red River Settlement rather than his birthdate. He may have come from elsewhere to Manitoba to work for the North West Company Fort Gibraltar trading post, which was set up in 1809. Or maybe it's correct because my grandmother also shows his father, Pierre Énault-Canada as born in Berthier on August 9, 1730, which would be possible if his son were born in 1810. She shows his father as another Pierre Énault-Canada and his mother as Marguerite Piette-Tremp, whose parents and grandparents are all identified, though with no dates.
Hall's appendix gives me access to two other potential ancestors beyond my grandmother's notes. Her father was a Cree man named Thomas Gris and her mother was Marie Nepissing. Then again, if this Marie is not Sophie's mother, they are not my ancestors.
Guess I have a bit of work to do.

#Janathon Day 15, Whole30 dinner day 14 – Going the distance on my hands.
Then I remembered that I can't stand on my hands, and that running on them was right out. That lead me to lean toward running on my feet instead. This was probably a great choice on my part for so many reasons – most of which you have already thought of, so I won't go into it!
Ok, so all humor aside, yesterday ran later than normal, just the day-to-day. The entire reason – was I hadn't gotten the items needed for my Whole30 meal, and had to stop at the store on the way home. Granted the Bacon/Roast Beef/Lettuce Club Wraps – were AMAZING!!!! (Whole Foods carries Bacon with no sugar or preservatives – Whole30 compliant!!!) I was well fueled (aka, ate too much) for my run – with the wraps, as well as the addition of fresh pineapple. So I was all set!
I decided to go with the same direction I went yesterday, with a little longer of a trip to make it to four miles. Stopping at 3.78 last night, did annoy my slight OCD tendency. With the full belly, and being the second day in a row (as well as it being dark and a bit icy), my pace slowed down. I would have added more excuses there, but I couldn't come up with any. Overall, the run wasn't to bad. I am never super in to it when I am running at 8 at night, but it was ok. By the last mile, I was ready to be home. I spent the run listening to an Audiobook, and found it did help. I'll be curious to see how effective it is when I don't have to look for ice in the dark! Hard to get in the "zone" in that circumstance.
Overall, a nice time out!
‹ Whole30 – Day 14, and a recap of 11 – 13 – All of them Really good eating!

Das Edo-jō (jap. , dt. "Burg Edo") in Chiyoda, dem Zentrum Tokios, war die größte Burg Japans und Sitz des Tokugawa-Shoguns.

Entstehung
Die Burg war 1457 von dem Militärstrategen Ōta Dōkan im heutigen Tokio, das damals "Edo" hieß, angelegt worden, verfiel aber nach dessen Tode. Tokugawa Ieyasu, der sich von Toyotomi Hideyoshi 1590 die Provinzen um die Tokio-Bucht hatte übertragen lassen, entschloss sich, diese Burg zu erneuern. Die Sengoku-Zeit war zwar vorbei, trotzdem war es immer noch notwendig, sich und seine Familie zu sichern. Dafür muss Ieyasu die abgelegene, auf einer Bergnase über der Tokio-Bucht gelegene Burg gerade richtig erschienen sein. Für einen Ausbau des dazugehörigen Fischerdorfes zu einer Burgstadt (Jōkamachi) war die hügelige, wasserarme Gegend dabei weniger geeignet.

Die Burganlage
Nachdem Ieyasu 1600 die Macht im Lande übernommen hatte, wurde Japan von der Burg aus regiert, die nun weiter ausgebaut wurde. Die Burg (auf dem Plan rot umrandet) folgte dem Muster der Zeit und bestand aus der Hauptburg – Honmaru (im Plan orange umrandet) auf der Bergnase – und einer Reihe von Vorburgen. Burg und Vorburgen waren durch Gräben, Wälle und an wichtigen Punkten durch Wehrtürme (Yagura) und gesicherte Toranlagen geschützt.

Vor der eigentlichen Burg erhielten die wichtigsten Gefolgsleute ihre Anwesen, die ebenfalls durch Gräben, Mauern und Tore geschützt waren. Im Plan sind dies 8, 9 und 10, die auf der entsprechenden Kiri-ezu als "Go-kuruwa-nai daimyō kōji" () ausgewiesen sind. Die Gesamtlage, also Burg und Daimyo-Residenzen, wurden von einem Graben umschlossen, der ebenfalls nur durch gesicherte Tore zu passieren war, dem "Innerer Graben" () Uchibori.

Der Honmaru
Der Honmaru wurde ganz von der ausgedehnten Hauptresidenz ausgefüllt. Diese brannte während des Meireki-Großbrandes 1657 ab, war aber schon 1659 wiederhergestellt. 1858 brannte die Residenz wieder vollständig ab, wurde aber zumindest teilweise wieder aufgebaut. Anfang der Meiji-Zeit wurde die Residenz zwar abgerissen, aber durch überlieferte Pläne sind wir auf das Genaueste über die Anlage im Bilde. Sie war einstöckig angelegt und enthielt viele Innenhöfe. Die Burg hatte, wie bei Fürstenresidenzen üblich, einen vorderen Teil (1a), (, omote, goten), der die Audienzräume, eine Nō-Bühne und die Privatgemächer des Shogun umfasste. In einem abgetrennten Teil dahinter (1b) befanden sich die Wohnräume der Frau, die der Konkubinen und der Dienstmädchen sowie die Küchenräume, Speicher usw. Dieser Bereich, gewöhnlich "oku", "der hintere [Teil des Hauses]" genannt, hieß hier wegen seiner Größe "Ōoku" (). Männern war ohne Erlaubnis der Zutritt strengstens verboten.

Der Tenshukaku
Ursprünglich gehörte zur Residenz der übliche hölzerne Turm () einer japanischen Burg. Er wurde 1606 an der höchsten Stelle des Honmaru, hinter dem Ōoku am Nordende (im Plan violettes Viereck) mit 5 Stockwerken errichtet auf einer steinernen Basis von 36,5 m in × 33 m. Es sind Pläne des Turms überliefert, die ihn mit über 50 m Höhe ausweisen. Damit war er der höchste Tenshu in Japan. Er musste 1622 und 1637 repariert werden, erhielt einmal weißem Verputz und beim zweiten Mal eine dunkle Holzverkleidung.

Nach der Zerstörung beim Meireki-Großbrand 1657 verzichtete man auf einen Wiederaufbau des aufwändigen Bauwerks, zumal das Tokugawa-Shogunat nach der Vernichtung der Toyotomi 1615 nicht mehr in Frage gestellt wurde. Japanische historische Filme ("jidaigeki"), wie etwa " Abarembo Shogun", die in Edo spielen, zeigen die Burg oft mit einem Donjon, der allerdings von der Burg Himeji stammt. Die Vereinigung "Edo-jō saiken o mezasu kai" (, engl. "Rebuilding 'Edo-jo' Association") hat es sich zum Ziel gemacht, zumindest den Hauptturm der Burg wieder historisch getreu zu rekonstruieren.

Der Zwischenfall am Matsu no Ōrōka
Der "Matsu no Ōrōka" ("Großer Kiefern-Korridor") war ein Verbindungskorridor zwischen dem "Shiroshoin" und dem Audienzsaal "Ōhiroma". Sein Name leitet sich von den bemalten Schiebetüren mit Kiefernmotiven ab. Am 21. April 1701 zog Asano Naganori auf diesem Korridor sein Wakizashi und verletzte Kira Yoshinaka aus Ärger über dessen absichtlich falsche Beratung am Hofe. Dies führte zu den Ereignissen, die als die "Geschichte der 47 Rōnin" bekannt wurden.

Die anderen Maru
 Das unterhalb des Honmaru liegende Ni-no-maru (auf dem Plan 2) enthielt eine kleine Residenz mit einer Nō-Bühne.
 Das schmale San-no-maru (3) bildete den äußersten Schutz der Burg.
 Im Nishi-no-maru befand sich eine zweite große Residenz (4). Sie brannte 1838 und 1852 vollständig und 1862 teilweise ab. 1863 erfolgte ein provisorischer Wiederaufbau. Weiter befand sich im Nishi-no-maru auf einer "Momijiyama" genannten Anhöhe die umfangreiche Bibliothek des Shoguns. Auch Grabstätten der Familie befanden sich dort (5).
 Der Fukiage genannten Bereich (6) bestand aus Grünanlagen und enthielt eine Reitbahn.
 Im Kita-no-maru (7) residierten nach 1700 die beiden Gosankyō-Familien Tayasu, Shimizu. Seit dieser Zeit gehörte dieser Bereich nicht mehr zur Burg.

Die Burg nach 1868
Als 1868 der regierende Shogun seine Macht verlor, einigten sich der Vertreter der kaiserlichen Truppen Saigō Takamori und der Unterhändler des Shogunats Katsu Kaishū auf eine friedliche Übergabe der Stadt und der Burg.
Die Burg wurde zunächst in Tōkei-jō (, dt. "Burg Tokei") umbenannt, dann 1869, als sie Sitz der Kaiserhofes wurde, in Kōjō (, dt. "Kaiserliche Burg"). Die Hauptresidenz war schon am Ende der Edo-Zeit nicht mehr bewohnbar gewesen. So übernahm der Tennō die vorhandene Residenz im westlichen Teil der Burg, im Nishi-no-maru. Diese Residenz brannte jedoch am 5. Mai 1873 ab, der Tennō zog um in die nahe gelegene ehemalige Residenz des Kii-Zweiges der Tokugawa. Erst 15 Jahre später, 1888, konnte die neue Residenz (, Kōkyo, dt. "Tennō-Wohnsitz") bezogen werden. Der östliche und nördliche Teil der ehemaligen Burganlage wird vielfältig genutzt und ist der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich. 1963 wurde die Burg zur Besonderen historischen Stätte (tokubetsu shiseki) erklärt.

Erbe
Viele Orte in Tokio haben ihren Namen von der Burg Edo. "Ōtemachi" ("Stadt vor dem Haupttor"), "Takebashi" ("Bambusbrücke"), "Uchibori-dōri" ("Straße am Inneren Graben") und "Marunouchi" ("in der Umschließung") sind Beispiele.

Greenwich, Conn. (June 19, 2008) – Nestlé Waters North America has donated 244,344 half-liter and one-liter bottles of Nestlé® Pure Life® and Ice Mountain® Natural Spring Water during the past week to citizens and disaster relief workers in flood-stricken areas of Indiana, Iowa and Wisconsin. AmeriCares and the American Red Cross, along with local, on-the-ground agencies, are distributing the donations throughout the region.
Severe rain and record floods have wreaked havoc on the Midwest in recent weeks. The floods are said to be the worst the region has experienced in nearly 15 years. Thousands of residents have been displaced, and hundreds of homes and businesses have been damaged.
"We are saddened by the losses to our employees and thousands of their neighbors as a result of the recent Midwest flooding. But AmeriCares and the American Red Cross have done an outstanding job of providing disaster relief to those in need," said Alex McIntosh, director of corporate citizenship, Nestlé Waters North America.
This donation follows Nestlé Waters North America's recent donation of more than 35,000 half-liters of Nestlé Pure Life bottled water to Iowa citizens affected by the level five tornado in late May. These bottles of water were distributed throughout the affected area by the Northeast Iowa Food Bank, a member of America's Second Harvest, as well as the Salvation Army and the American Red Cross. In the past, Nestlé Waters has provided millions of bottles of water to citizens and relief workers affected by natural disasters, including the California wildfires and Hurricane Katrina.
AmeriCares is a private, nonprofit international disaster relief and humanitarian aid organization, which delivers medicines, medical supplies and aid to people in crisis around the world. Since it was established in 1982, AmeriCares has distributed more than $7.5 billion in humanitarian aid to 137 countries. For more information, log onto Americares.
The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and counsels victims of disasters; provides nearly half of the nation's blood supply; teaches lifesaving skills; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a charitable organization – not a government agency – and depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its humanitarian mission.

A Chinese celebrity's relationship announcement led to a rare breakdown of Weibo's servers on Sunday.
A Chinese celebrity's relationship announcement led to a rare breakdown of Weibo's servers on Sunday. So many fans commented on Lu Han's new love affair that the social media platform was inaccessible for two hours.
"Hi everyone, I want to introduce my girlfriend @GuanXiaoTong to you." It was this one-sentence message that set Weibo on fire on Sunday, October 8.
The message was posted by Chinese singer and actor Lu Han (鹿晗 1990), who is one of the most popular celebrities on Weibo. Lu currently has 41.2 million followers on his official Weibo account (@M鹿M).
The singer previously had 43 million fans on Weibo, but lost many followers after his relationship announcement. Many fans did not like the idea that their favorite star is no longer single. Lu was formerly a member of the South Korean-Chinese boy group EXO and its sub-group EXO-M.
So many people responded to the news of Lu Han's new girlfriend that some servers of Sina Weibo experienced a rare breakdown. Chinese media report that, according to a statement released by a Weibo Data Assistant, the two-hour network crash was the result of a data surge caused by fans commenting, sharing and liking Lu Han's update.
By Monday, the public announcement had received 2,4 million comments and nearly 5 million likes.
Guan Xiaotong (关晓彤) is Lu Han's new girlfriend – and everybody knows it.
Guan Xiaotong is a Chinese actress with more than 20 million fans on her Weibo page.
It is not the first time that a public announcement by a Chinese celebrity causes so much consternation on Weibo. In 2016, Chinese actor Wang Baoqiang announced that he would divorce his wife Ma Rong after she had a secret affair with his own agent. That post became one of the top-trending topics of the year.
A day after Lu Han's revelation, searches for his name on the Weibo platform were limited and only showed a "we can not display any results for this search" announcement.


Why I love yoga: Yoga brings me back home to myself. It gives me (and all of us) what we need so that we can face the challenges of life with greater ease. Yoga reminds us to breathe and to be present. It is a gift.
My interests other than yoga: Teaching English, reading, cooking, traveling, and spending time with my family.

Spotlight On: Box Motor Club
By SteJuly 2, 2019 No Comments
Home » Spotlight On: Box Motor Club
Being able to take your classic or retro car to a local meet in the evenings or at weekends has to be one of life's pleasures. Big national events are great too, but being part of a local automotive community, with people you can meet up with regularly and cruise with to shows is something we should all feel grateful to have.
Let us introduce you to the Box Motor Club
The Box Motor Club held their first official meet on the 3rd July 2012 at Woodville Box Club. It was because of this venue that the name Box Motor Club originated. The club now organises over 24 regular local meets and, is geographically, one of our closest vehicle clubs. It's not unheard of for one of our team to pop along to one of their meets on a Sunday for a catch up and a look around the cars.
With at least two meets a month, when you are a member of the Box Motor Club there is always somewhere to take your classic car.
We caught up with Graham Foster, Club Chairman, to find out more…
Tell us a bit about the club?
I started the club as a local group for car enthusiasts to share their passion for all things automotive. The club started as a group of people with a common interest. This has now grown to an online community with a social media profile and website. We have over 700 members on our Facebook group, which is run by myself.
Membership is open to all vehicles and people with an interest in cars. We do a yearly membership fee (of £12) for members that wish to go to shows and be a part of the Box Motor Club stands, as well as attend our fortnightly meets. This fee also gets you in to Box Motor Club run events for free! You also get the opportunity to purchase a Box Motor Club T-Shirt or car stickers.
The meetings are friendly and informal and usually involve a bit of banter!
Graham, how would you describe ethos of the club?
Friendly, Diverse, Fun.
How many people are there in the team who run the club?
The club is run by a handful of members. We have a committee made up of Chairman, Vice Chair, Treasurer, Secretary and Event Organisers.
For those that might not know, tell us a bit about the vehicles that are covered by the club?
The club is open to all vehicles. We have a nice mix of classic and more modern cars ranging from Riley Kestrels and Triumph Heralds to VW Golfs and BMW Z3 and Z4s.
How about you Graham, how long have you been involved?
I am one of the founder members of the Box Motor Club, so have been involved from the start – since 2012. I own a Triumph Herald, MK II Golf GTi, Mazda MX5 MK I, Mini Copper and an Audi 80 cabriolet. CL: That's a great collection you have Graham!
Money no object?
Money no object, my dream car would be a Lotus Cortina MK 1. CL: The ultimate nostalgia car!
Do members receive benefits for being part of the club?
Benefits with club membership include 24 meetings a year, free entry to club run events as well as 15% discount from ClassicLine Insurance and discounts with Viking Tyres.
Tell us about your club meets…
During the winter months, we meet on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month from 2pm at The Halfway House in Donnisthorpe.
From April, once the nights are lighter and the weather is better, our regular meets change to Tuesday evenings.
We also run a monthly car meet from April to September which is open to everyone at Moira Furnace Museum and Country Park. This takes place the 2nd Tuesday of the month from 6pm. It's a great atmosphere and a lovely setting next to the canal with a huge variety of vehicles attending from motorbikes and classic tractors, to modified and supercars.
Do you attend other shows as a club?
The club attends local classic and race events throughout the year. All the events are put on our calendar which can be found on the Box Motor Club website, which is looked after by Neil.
Tony, our Event Organiser, usually deals with the booking forms and organising the club stands.
What are your must do shows throughout the year?
One of our 'must do' shows of the year is Donnington Historic Festival, it's a great event. We have a stand for club members only, which entitles you to half price admission.
What makes you proud to be a member of the Box Motor Club?
It has to be our monthly meetings at Moira Furnace throughout the summer. The money we collect is donated back to the charity to maintain the grounds and extend the canal further.
What is the Box Motor Club looking forward to in the future?
It's important that as a club we are trying to attract younger members to our events to try to help keep the future of the classic car scene alive.
Looking forwards to the summer, as the Box Motor Club supports Moira Furnace Museum and Country Park, we are planning to organise a Sunday event at the venue. The Furnace is working to extend the canal on which it sits and are also raising funds to have a defibrillator installed so we would like to support these causes. Details are still to be confirmed, but we will publicise them on our website and Facebook page.
Anything else that you'd like to mention?
We would like to take this opportunity to thank ClassicLine Insurance for their continued support of the club and the events we run. CL: Thank you Graham!
So, these are the people behind one of our favourite clubs. Working hard behind the scenes and trying to create a club that's is like one big family. Box Motor Club, thank you for being our club of the month.
ClassicLine Insurance offer a range of car club insurance schemes that can provide revenue for your club as well as benefits and discounts for your members. To find out more about this and our specialist club liability insurance, visit our car clubs page.

The Synthetic Liquid Fuels Program was a program run by the United States Bureau of Mines to create the technology to produce synthetic fuel from coal and oil shale. It was initiated in 1944 during World War II. The Synthetic Liquid Fuels Act approved on April 5, 1944 authorized the use of US$30 million over a five-year period for

History
The Bureau of Mines first studied the extraction of oil from oil shale between 1925 and 1928.

Between 1928 and 1944, the Bureau experimented with coal liquefaction by hydrogenation using the Bergius process. A small-scale test unit constructed in 1937 had a 100-pound per day continuous coal feed.

Between 1945 and 1948, new laboratories were constructed near Pittsburgh. A synthetic ammonia plant Louisiana, Missouri (Missouri Ordnance Works) was transferred from the Army to the program in 1945. The plant was converted into a coal hydrogenation test facility. By 1949 the plant could produce  of oil a day using the Bergius process.

Part of the personnel were German scientists, who had been extracted from Germany by Operation Paperclip.

In 1948, the program was extended to eight years and funding increased to US$60 million. A second facility was constructed at the Louisiana plant, this time using the Fischer–Tropsch process. Completed in 1951, the plant only produced  of fuel.

In 1953 the new Republican-led House Appropriations Committee ended funding for the research and the Missouri plant was returned to the Department of the Army.  After the 1973 oil crisis the need for domestic syncrude production (as well as substitute natural gas) was recognized and ERDA (subsequently DOE) embarked on a demonstration plants program, which included plants for the SRC-I and SRC-2 processes.

In 1979, after the second oil crisis, the U.S. Congress approved the Energy Security Act forming the Synthetic Fuels Corporation and authorized up to $88 million for synthetic fuels projects. This program focused on implementation of commercially available processes such as Lurgi gasification of lignite and Texaco gasification of coal to feed a gas turbine/combined cycle electric generating system.

In 1986, following the 1985 oil glut, President Reagan signed into law the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 which among other things abolished the Synthetic Fuels Corporation.  It is estimated that over 40 years the cost of the various efforts at creating synthetic fuels may have totaled as much as $8 billion.

Credit cards for bad credit are, as the name suggests, credit cards which are available even if you have a bad or poor credit history. If you use a bad credit credit card properly, over time your credit score could improve. But what is bad credit, and who is eligible for such cards? And how do bad credit cards differ from normal cards?
The term 'bad credit' is a bit of a misnomer. In basic terms, it means that your credit history is less than perfect – usually that you have been late or defaulted on some payments – and you are, as a result, perceived by any potential credit providers as being somewhat higher risk. However, if you are new to credit altogether (just turned 18, or have never borrowed money or paid a bill before), you may fall under this description too, simply because you have never had the chance to prove your creditworthiness.
You can check the state of your own credit history by applying to one (or all) of the three credit reference agencies – Experian, Equifax or CallCredit – either online, over the phone or by post. The three agencies must provide you a statutory report for £2 upon request – or alternatively you can sign up for one of their online services, which range from completely free to quite expensive (£15 per month).
Once you have received your credit report, you should ensure that all of the details and records are correct. If there are any anomalies, you should contact the agency immediately and request that the information is amended or removed.
If, after checking your report, you find that you do indeed have a poor credit score, then it makes sense to refrain from applying for conventional credit cards as you are unlikely to be successful. Multiple failed credit applications can have a further detrimental effect on your credit rating, too.
All is not lost though. There are credit cards available on the UK market for people who have no credit history or a less-than-perfect credit rating.
How are bad credit credit cards different to other credit cards?
Where bad credit credit cards differ is in the eligibility criteria, the APR, the credit limit, and the rewards on offer.
What is the eligibility criteria on a bad credit credit card?
Must be over 18 (you must be over 18 to access any form of credit in the UK).
Minimum income (where this is cited, the minimum income tends to be relatively low, around £3,000 to £5,000).
Bankruptcy / CCJs – some issuers will accept people who have been declared bankrupt or who have CCJs against their name, but usually they will require that some time has elapsed (no bankruptcy or CCJs in the past 12 months, for example).
Must not already hold another credit card within the same group of cards.
Many bad credit credit cards offer an eligibility checker service, where you can see how likely you are to be accepted before you formally apply. This leaves no hard or visible 'footprint' on your credit file, so it can be useful if you are shopping around for the best bad credit credit card.
What APR can I expect from a bad credit credit card?
Credit card providers perceive those with a bad credit history as being a 'high risk' (of defaulting), so bad credit credit cards tend to have a higher representative APR than more conventional cards, ranging from around 25% to 35%.
Because credit issuers want to see how you deal with credit and the repayment of debt, the credit limits offered on bad credit credit cards, at least initially, are much lower than conventional credit cards, ranging from around £100 to £500.
Once you have proven that you can repay at least your minimum monthly repayments on time, however, and remain within your specified credit limit, most bad credit credit card issuers will increase your credit limit.
Cashback (you'll probably only get around 0.5%, and the total cashback per month is usually capped).
0% balance transfer deals (usually capped at around six months).
0% purchase deals (again, usually with a limited promotional period).
Free access to your credit report.
Will a bad credit credit card improve my credit rating?
Yes, but with caveats. You must keep your spending to within your credit limit, and you must pay at least your minimum payment on time every month. The credit card issuer will then report back positively to the credit reference agencies, and this will, over time, improve your credit rating.
While using your bad credit credit card to rebuild your credit, it makes sense to regularly check your credit rating with the credit reference agencies. Once it has improved sufficiently, you might like to apply for a more conventional credit card and avail yourself of all the benefits on offer.
Will I be offered the Representative APR with my bad credit credit card?
Not always. The Representative APR is what the credit card issuer offers to 51% of its customers, meaning that the remaining 49% could be paying a different (mostly higher) rate. Before applying for a credit card, it is always best to apply through an eligibility checker, which doesn't leave a mark on your credit score, to see what rate you are likely to be offered.
What credit limit will I be offered on my bad credit credit card?
Most cards for bad credit will state the parameters of the credit limit from the outset, so you should make yourself aware of the minimum and maximum before you apply, to ensure it's sufficient for your needs. Also, before officially applying and leaving a mark on your credit history, you can check out your likelihood of being accepted, and with what credit limit, with an online eligibility checker. If you apply and are accepted, your credit limit is not necessarily set in stone: with good money management – staying within your limit and making at least the minimum monthly payment on time – many issuers will increase, or at least review your account after a period of time.
Can I use my bad credit credit card abroad?
Yes, but you should check the fees and charges of your particular card. You will most likely be charged a foreign transaction fee for using your card for purchasing, and a foreign ATM fee for taking cash out abroad. If you want to avoid these charges, you should have a look at the range of prepaid travel cards, which often offer better value for money, and you don't need to undergo a credit check in order to get one.
When can I apply for a credit card with a better APR?
Using your bad credit credit card sensibly and responsibly over time – spending within your credit limit and making at least your minimum monthly payment on time – should result in an improvement in your credit rating. You should check your credit score regularly with more than one of the credit reference agencies (Callcredit, Equifax, Experian), and watch for any improvements. It is worth noting that some bad credit credit card issuers offer free access to your credit report as a benefit. Because it is detrimental to your credit rating to have multiple credit card applications in quick succession, you may want to wait for around six months before you apply for a more conventional card. And because your credit rating has been less than perfect in the past, it would also be sensible to apply for a credit card using an eligibility checker, so that it does not show on your credit history.
Are there any alternatives to a bad credit credit card?
If you have been turned down for a bad credit credit card, or are simply looking for something else, you should check out the range of prepaid cards on offer. Prepaid cards do tend to charge a monthly fee, and need pre-loading before you can use them, but with the credit building option that some cards offer, they can be a powerful tool to rebuild your credit score.

Q: Failed to obtain magnetic field sensor on Pixel 2 despite it exists on sensor list I tried to get magnetic field sensor with the following code, permission for fine location access has obtained:
sensorManager = (SensorManager) context.getSystemService(Context.SENSOR_SERVICE);
magneticSensor = sensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_MAGNETIC_FIELD);

I test my app with Google pixel 2 and the sensorManager is null as result, same when replaced sensor type with TYPE_MAGNETIC_FIELD_UNCALIBRATED.
However, when I get list of sensors on my Pixel 2 with the following code:
List<Sensor> sensorList = sensorManager.getSensorList(Sensor.TYPE_ALL);

I see "hall effect sensor" in the list, which I believe is the magnetic field sensor, the description of the sensor object is as follow:
{Sensor name="AK8789 Hall Effect", vendor="AKM", version=1, type=33171016, maxRange=1.0, resolution=1.0, power=0.001, minDelay=0}

Edit: tested my devices with a compass app and proved the magnetic sensor is probably defected. So if the sensor is defected, the code above return null. I also tested the code with another pixel device and found the sensor for compass is called magnetometer, not hall effect sensor

My name is D.(34), recently separated man with two kids and dog and all the rest. I want to thank Amen for keeping me sane, safe and alive through the hardest part of my life to date. When I came through the doors of Amen I was a broken man, I could see no future or happiness or light at the end of the tunnel, the girls in Amen changed that almost immediately. They listened to my sorry story with real sympathy and respect and began to guide me through the processes I needed to get back on my feet, some of the things they had to learn with me, so for the next poor bloke coming through he will get there even quicker. Not knowing what to do didn't stop them finding out and getting me there, they didn't give up on me like every other organisation on an almost daily basis. Every time I came back to there office worn down by "NO" or "We can't help you" or some other rubbish they found a way through for me.
I am only starting on my journey of single life and child access and all the other wonderful stuff I have to deal with but I would be nowhere without the help and honest concern of Amen and there wonderful staff. I have my own apartment with an extra room for my children to visit, I cook, clean and would you believe even wash my own clothes, this to most people might sound ridiculous but when you have never had to do any of these things they are a big deal. I know I can get through anything that's thrown at me now, before the support of Amen I don't think I would have coped, and that is no exaggeration.
Thank God there was somewhere for me to go and for other men in my situation, heaven knows what the alternative would be.
I was like this a few years ago too. I didn't even know that there were people that would help me. My sister found the details for Amen. They are very helpful. Thank God I nearly have my situation sorted out now. I just can't get my head around the grief I got from the authorities and nobody really believed me. It was so awful. I just want to get on with my life now and enjoy my kids. They grow up so fast and I missed out on a lot of time with them because of the horrible stuff their mother said. But you just have to be strong and stick with it. I wish more men would look for help.
Hi there. My brother is being abused at the moment by his girlfriend and a lot of what I am reading on this website is similar to what he is discussing. What should he do? He is talking to me about it, but refuses to look for help from any outsider, he is terrified. Most of the abuse is mental but there have been a couple of occasions where she got pysical. We are so worried about him.
Emma, tell your brother to contact Amen. They will be able to give him sound advice. Maybe you could ring them first or something. Just make sure he keeps talking to you. Thats the mistake I did. I didn't tell anyone for years.

Maharashtra govt asks labour commissioner for report on IT layoffshttps://indianexpress.com/article/cities/pune/maharashtra-govt-asks-labour-commissioner-for-report-on-it-layoffs-4777972/
Maharashtra govt asks labour commissioner for report on IT layoffs
Since the last few months, major IT companies have reportedly conducted large-scale layoffs. Pune, which has the second largest concentration of IT companies in the country, has also seen layoffs.
Written by Parthasarathi Biswas | Pune | Updated: August 2, 2017 12:50:37 am
THE Maharashtra government has ordered the state labour commissioner to prepare a detailed report about the layoffs in the IT sector. Speaking to The Indian Express, State Labour Minister Shambhaji Patil Nilangekar said the labour commissioner has been asked to submit a detailed report about the layoffs in the next 10 days.
Since the last few months, major IT companies have reportedly conducted large-scale layoffs. Pune, which has the second largest concentration of IT companies in the country, has also seen layoffs. Affected employees had gathered under the banner of Forum for IT Employees (FITE) to challenge the layoffs which, they claim, are illegal.
Elavarasan Raja, coordinator of Maharashtra unit of FITE, said 13 cases under the Industrial Dispute Act has been filed before the office of the additional labour commissioner in Pune by aggrieved employees. FITE coordinators had met both the labour minister as well as Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to highlight the issue.
Many of the companies, which were issued notices by the additional labour commissioner office, had cited the fact that their offices are located in a special economic zone (SEZ) to claim exemption from labour laws. Several had also questioned the status of FITE, given that the sector doesn't have a registered union yet.
Asked about the objections raised by the IT companies, the minister said the state government could step in to protect the rights of the employees. "The IT Act is a central legislation. If need be, we will be writing to the department concerned to address the issue," he said. On the report sought by the state government, Patil Nilangekar said the labour commissioner was going to ask the IT companies for information in the matter. "A couple of questions have also been asked in the state assembly… once the report is ready, we will take a call…," he said.

God's Call to Abram
1 # Acts 7.2,3; Heb 11.8. Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will show thee: 2and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3#Gal 3.8. and I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
4So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran. 5And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came. 6And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land. 7#Acts 7.5; Gal 3.16. And the Lord appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the Lord, who appeared unto him. 8And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Beth–el, and pitched his tent, having Beth–el on the west, and Ha´i on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the Lord, and called upon the name of the Lord. 9And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.
Abram in Egypt
10And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land. 11And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon: 12therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive. 13#Gen 20.2; 26.7. Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee. 14And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair. 15The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house. 16And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.
17And the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues, because of Sarai, Abram's wife. 18And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife? 19Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way. 20And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.

Eastleigh is a town in Hampshire, England, between Southampton and Winchester. It is the largest town and the administrative seat of the Borough of Eastleigh, with a population of 24,011 at the 2011 census.
The town lies on the River Itchen, one of England's premier chalk streams for fly fishing, and a designated site of Special Scientific Interest.[2][3] The area was originally villages until the 19th century, when Eastleigh was developed as a railway town by the London and South-Western Railway.

12.2 Notes

Victorian bandstand in the recreation ground
The modern town of Eastleigh lies on the old Roman road, built in A.D.79 between Winchester (Venta Belgarum) and Bitterne (Clausentum).[4][5][6] Roman remains discovered in the Eastleigh area, including a Roman lead coffin excavated in 1908,[7] indicate that a settlement probably existed here in Roman times.[4][8][9]
A Saxon village called 'East Leah' has been recorded to have existed since 932 AD.[10] ('Leah' is an ancient Anglo-Saxon word meaning 'a clearing in a forest').[10] There is additional evidence of this settlement in a survey from the time which details land in North Stoneham being granted by King Æthelstan to his military aid, Alfred in 932 AD.[4][8][11] The prefix 'Est' or 'East' is thought to refer to its location relative to the established settlement of Baddesley.[4]
The Domesday Book of 1086 gives a more detailed account of the settlement, which is referred to as 'Estleie'.[4]
In 1838 the London and South Western Railway Company (L&SWR) built a railway from Southampton to Winchester.[10][12] It was decided to build a station near the little village of Barton. This railway station was originally named Bishopstoke Junction.[10] In 1868 the villages of Barton and Eastley were combined into one parish.[10] A parish church, the Church of the Resurrection, was built in the same year, at a cost of £2,300.[13] A local noted author of many novels, Charlotte Yonge, donated £500 towards the building of the church.[14] She was rewarded by being given the privilege to choose a name for the 'new' parish; either Barton or Eastly. She chose Eastly, but with a new modern spelling; Eastleigh.[14] In 1891 the L&SWR Carriage and Wagon Works from Nine Elms in London were transferred to Eastleigh. This was followed by the Nine Elms Locomotive Works which were moved there in 1909. These railway works were closed in 2006 but have since reopened, albeit on a smaller scale.
Eastleigh has seen a rapid and controlled expansion in residential, industrial and commercial development over recent years. The borough of Eastleigh was ranked the "9th best place to live in the UK 2006" by a Channel 4 programme.[15]
Supermarine Spitfire Mk IX
The United States Navy established a naval air station on 23 July 1918 to assemble and repair Caproni Ca.5 and Airco DH.4 and DH.9 bombers for the Northern Bombing Group of the First World War. The base closed shortly after the First Armistice at Compiègne.[16] Perhaps Eastleigh's best-known 'resident' is the Spitfire aeroplane which was built in Southampton and first flown from Eastleigh Aerodrome. A replica has recently been placed on the roundabout at the entrance to the airport.
Eastleigh Museum, which is to be found in the High Street, holds information about the town and the surrounding villages, including Bishopstoke which had been the largest residential area.
Eastleigh has two further education colleges: Barton Peveril Sixth Form College (where Colin Firth was a pupil) and Eastleigh College (both on the same road). Crestwood Community School is the secondary school for the town, and primary schools include Cherbourg Primary School, Norwood Primary School, Nightingale Primary School, the Crescent Primary School and Shakespeare Infant and Junior Schools to the north of the town.[17]
Religion[edit]
Emmanuel Baptist Church
Main article: List of places of worship in the Borough of Eastleigh
The Anglican parish church is All Saints in Desborough Road.[18] The Roman Catholic Church of the Holy Cross was built in Leigh Road in 1902 to replace an early tin church.[19] Emmanuel Baptist Church was founded in the early 1930s, in the former Desborough Mission Hall in Desborough Road. The building dates to 1905.[20]
Eastleigh Baptist Church is situated in Wells Place and was previously called Union Baptist Church.[21] Adjacent to the main church building is the Wells Place Centre, built on the site of a former dairy which itself replaced a bacon factory.[22]
St Andrew's Methodist Church is located on Blenheim Road.[23]
Junction Church has premises in Eastleigh's High Street[24] and Thrive Church meets at the Pavilion on the Park.[25]
Sport[edit]
Eastleigh F.C.[edit]
Eastleigh F.C. are the town's sole senior football team playing, from 2014–15, in the Conference Premier (after promotion from the Conference South in 2013–14) as well as entering the FA Cup and the FA Trophy. They are known as The Spitfires.
Solent Kestrels[edit]
Solent Kestrels are the town and area's basketball club, and compete in the English Basketball League Division 1, the second highest level of the sport in the country, behind the nationwide British Basketball League. The team were promoted to Division 1 in 2016, after finishing as champions of Division 2 in the 2015-16 season. They are coached by Matt Guymon and play home games at the Fleming Park Leisure Centre.
Eastleigh Ladies Hockey Club[edit]
Eastleigh Ladies Hockey Club is based in South Hampshire. It fields 2 teams in the Hampshire Women's League (playing Saturdays), as well as playing floodlit and indoor league games (playing on weekdays).
Eastleigh Rugby Football Club[edit]
Eastleigh Rugby Football Club play from "the Hub" in Eastleigh. They currently have four senior sides, colts and young player development, their 1st XV currently play in the London 2 South West. Also based at the Hub are "the Hurricanes", a team for young adults with learning difficulties.
Eastleigh Running Club[edit]
There is a broadly based running club.[26]
Politics[edit]
Eastleigh is represented in the House of Commons by Conservative MP Paul Holmes. He was first elected for the constituency at the 2019 general election with a majority of 9,147 votes, taking over from Mims Davies, the Conservative MP who took the seat in 2015.[27] Mike Thornton of the Liberal Democrats was elected at the 2013 by-election with a majority of 1,771 votes after the resignation of Chris Huhne, in a by-election that was closely fought with UKIP coming in second and the Conservatives finishing in third place.
In 2005 Huhne had been elected as the Liberal Democrat Member of Parliament (MP) for the Eastleigh constituency after the previous MP (David Chidgey, also Liberal Democrat) retired. Eastleigh has a tradition of close contests, and Huhne narrowly beat the Conservative candidate Conor Burns with the second lowest swing against the Liberal Democrats of any seat with a retiring MP (2.6%). David Chidgey had succeeded the Conservative MP Stephen Milligan after his high-profile death. Chris Huhne was appointed as Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change following the 2010 general election. Huhne resigned the seat in February 2013 after pleading guilty to perverting the course of justice over a 2003 speeding case.[28]
Eastleigh Borough Council currently has 34 Liberal Democrats, 3 independent and 2 Conservative Councillors. On 1 April 2021 it became a civil parish.[29]
Economy[edit]
The B&Q head office is on Chestnut Avenue in Eastleigh (technically Chandler's Ford).[30] The town was formerly home to a Mr Kipling bakery.[31]
It was also home to a manufacturing plant owned by Prysmian Cables & Systems before it burnt down in 2008.
Transport[edit]
Eastleigh railway station in 2009
Southampton Airport (IATA: SOU, ICAO: EGHI), the 20th largest airport in the UK, is located in Eastleigh. The airport is served by a dedicated mainline railway station, Southampton Airport Parkway which is the next station stop south (5 minutes) from Eastleigh.
Eastleigh is served by Eastleigh, a station on the South West Main Line from London Waterloo and Winchester to Southampton Central, Bournemouth, Poole and Weymouth, with South Western Railway services to those places. Eastleigh is also the junction station for two other routes, the Eastleigh-Fareham line and the Eastleigh-Romsey line.
Eastleigh has bus services provided by Stagecoach South, Bluestar, First Hampshire & Dorset, Wilts & Dorset and Xelabus.
Eastleigh is also located close to the junction between the M3 motorway and M27 motorway, giving easy road access to London, Southampton, Winchester, Bournemouth, Portsmouth and places between.
Swan Centre[edit]
The Swan Shopping Centre opened in 1989, and was built in the heart of the town's Victorian 'grid iron' road layout and blocked off Market Street and High Street – although through access was possible for pedestrians while the centre was open. The Swan Centre included a French-style café and a new library[32] (replacing the former library situated in the Park, now used as part of The Point)

The most famous people linked to Eastleigh are probably Christabel Leighton-Porter, the model for the Second World War cartoon character Jane,[33] and Benny Hill who both lived in the town.[34] Hill's first job was at Woolworths on Leigh Road, Eastleigh. He then moved on to be a milkman for Hanns Dairies, on Factory Road, now Wells Place. His time working in Eastleigh on a horse-drawn milk float gave him his inspiration for his hit record, Ernie, The Fastest Milkman In The West.[35][36] In Hill's honour, a plaque has been put up close to the site of the now demolished Hanns Dairies building[36] and a new road has been named Benny Hill Close, though many of the people who had bought the new homes were not happy with the decision. An alternative suggestion was Cowpat Lane.[37]
Sir Arthur Young, the eminent police chief, was born at 55 Chamberlayne Road in 1907. Sporting notables include Tommy Green who won an Olympic Gold Medal at the 1932 Los Angeles Games in the 50K walk, and Vince Hawkins who was British Middleweight Boxing Champion in the late 1940s.[38][39][40]
Other notable residents of Eastleigh include:
Heinz Burt (1942–2000) (pop-musician)
Scott Mills (1974–present) (Radio 1 DJ)
Stephen Gough (the 'Naked Rambler')
Giz Watson (Australian politician)
Nirmal Purja (Mountaineer)

Steelyard Digitally Connects Designers, Home Furnishings Resources
Steelyard streamlines the connection between designers and vendors.
Diane Falvey
Steelyard, continues to add features to the platform to streamline the interior design process.
When it comes to interior design, inspiration, organization and collaboration with clients pretty much sum up efforts needed for a successful outcome. If only there were a platform that could help the interior design community streamline these tasks while also connecting and learning from other designers.
If you're looking for that platform, you might want to pay a visit to Steelyard (steelyardaccess.com). You can join the already 30,000 vetted interior designers who use Steelyard, which showcases thousands of products from more than 120 home furnishings brands, helps you pull design stories together via personal project folders and connect with designer-friendly vendors, all for free. According to Shawn Hughes, who owns Steelyard with his wife Sandy, the platform is "the premier research tool to identify and find products from brands that are committed to designers."
"We've owned this company for six years, and it's a passion for us," Hughes continues. "We love the industry and the design community and we want these people to be successful. We're delivering tools that make their lives easier and address the inefficiencies they deal with every day."
With High Point Market postponed this month due to coronavirus concerns, Steelyard becomes an even more valuable tool. In partnership with High Point Market Authority, Steelyard will be rolling out "High Point at Home," which will provide a platform for home furnishings exhibitors to showcase their latest collections.
What's in the Works
While product inspiration and connecting to a wide range of suppliers is a primary benefit of Steelyard, Hughes and his team have paid attention to the needs of designers and are working to create an even more robust tool.
Shawn Hughes, owner of Steelyard.
In the most recent updates, Steelyard members continue to have unlimited project folders. However, now the platform also gives its designers the ability to share those folders with their team members and clients. The folders soon will be able to be "private-labeled" to create a more impactful presentation with the emphasis on the designer's firm. Now instead of having to go to several companies to source products, it can all be pulled together conveniently in one place. The client and designer can then choose products to order, and the designer can connect with vendors through the platform.
"It's astonishing what you learn when you listen to your customers," says Hughes. "We've gotten really good ideas from our designers."
Steelyard stops short of being an e-commerce site or marketplace, but at the end of a consultation with a client, for example, when products need to be ordered, designers can simply create a purchase order or message the brand directly with one click. "Manufacturers have solid distribution. Every one of the 30,000 designers on Steelyard has a different way of doing business," he adds. "We get close to the line without taking orders."
Find It All
Currently, Steelyard houses approximately 120 brands across furniture, lighting and home decor. The companies that market through Steelyard range from the very high end to more affordable, and include large manufacturers to artisinal companies. The goal is to offer a wide variety of available choices so designers can find whatever they need. Hughes noted that he anticipates the number of companies joining Steelyard, particularly with the updates to the platform, to increase this year as the company widens its scope and more manufacturers are working with interior designers. "Staying committed to designers and keeping them a central part of their distribution strategy," Hughes says, is an essential criteria to become a part of the Steelyard family. Privacy is also a key consideration on Steelyard. Only vetted designers can access the detailed information provided by vendors on the site. Consumers and other visitors can access the blog for home design inspiration, but can go no further until they are approved as a credentialed designer.
As Hughes and his team continue to hone the Steelyard platform to be the ultimate tool for the interior design community, they are also looking at other categories. Categories such as mattresses, for example, are on the radar this year. "We want to deliver on the needs for every project without compromise. We offer unique pieces, luxury solutions, premier price points to budget price points," says Hughes. "We want to cover the entire spectrum so we can solve all of the designers' client's needs."
Connect with Steelyard
You can connect with the Steelyard team to learn more about the platform and meet with other designers offline at key markets, such as the Steelyard lounge at Las Vegas Market or the Steelyard Airstream at High Point Market. To learn more about Steelyard vendors, you can also follow the famous nail polish trail.

The Life and Games of Vasily Smyslov: Volume I - The Early Years: 1921-1948 (Hardcover)
By Andrey Terekhov, Peter Svidler (Foreword by)
We can order this for you!
Winner of the prestigious 2021 FIDE Book of the Year Award
Chess Journalists of America Book of the Year Award for 2021
The Life & Games of the Seventh World Chess Champion
Vasily Smyslov, the seventh world champion, had a long and illustrious chess career. He played close to 3,000 tournament games over seven decades, from the time of Lasker and Capablanca to the days of Anand and Carlsen. From 1948 to 1958, Smyslov participated in four world championships, becoming world champion in 1957.
Smyslov continued playing at the highest level for many years and made a stunning comeback in the early 1980s, making it to the finals of the candidates' cycle. Only the indomitable energy of 20-year-old Garry Kasparov stopped Smyslov from qualifying for another world championship match at the ripe old age of 63
In this first volume of a multi-volume set, Russian FIDE master Andrey Terekhov traces the development of young Vasily from his formative years and becoming the youngest grandmaster in the Soviet Union to finishing second in the world championship match tournament.
With access to rare Soviet-era archival material and invaluable family archives, the author complements his account of Smyslov's growth into an elite player with dozens of fascinating photographs, many never seen before, as well as 49 deeply annotated games. German grandmaster Karsten M 1/2ller's special look at Smyslov's endgames rounds out this fascinating first volume.
This book] is an extremely well-researched look at his life and games, a very welcome addition to the body of work about Smyslov... - from the Foreword by Peter Svidler
St. Petersburg native Andrey Terekhov is a FIDE Master, an ICCF International Master (correspondence chess) and holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science. His best results at the board were victories in the 2008 Munich Open and the 2012 Nabokov Memorial. He currently resides in Singapore. This is his first book for Russell Enterprises.

Cool workings man, only thing is the synth is maybe overpowered by the guitar at times, some levelling works and it should be a fine piece indeed, and im not gonna bother commenting about the drums because on here it should NOW be realised (message to all of you others reading) the drums aren't ultra important when in the foundational phase of making tracks at home, if youre making good material, itll come together when youre professionally laying the tracks down in the recording studio.
Yeah, that shouldn't be too hard at last. But I'll fix that after adding the vocals, would just be one step too much. According to my modest experiences it's the synths, the guitar AND the vocals biting each other in the heights. So I'm looking forward to it.
But I didn' completely get what you meant for the drums. Actually I thought them to be the final ones, no need for rolls or complex fills in my style of sound, i reckon.
Or did you mean that a too lazy sounding loop can perfectly do it's job in the final mix?
Improve samples, nothing more =) the rest is awesome.
Damn it, I get the sounds basically good, but once they sound way to dump, the other time (when I do not use any cabinets) I seem to loose a lot of frequencies. what makes it sound like a crappy guitarsynth-plugin.
I guess we just need to stay tuned. just wanted to tell somebody. thanks.
Ive upped 2 songs, "DEstruction UNIT" and "In The Darkness", both have been created using Reason 3.0 (top prog. well worth the dosh) and Sony Soundforge 7.
I personally dont care for the record scrath-thing that is in there, but other than that it's cool.
this one uses the main riff of "player one", so i hope you like it!

Extraordinary changes caused by COVID-19 have enforced companies around the globe to accelerate transition to digital business processes. Human resource management (HRM) is in the heart of these transformations helping organizations to navigate in the vague present and unforeseeable future. HRM needs to manage people in companies during the crisis in order to enable business continuity and ensure work-life balance. Since the future will bring more flexible, remote-friendly, digital working norms, the changes in policies, processes, workspaces, collaboration systems, and employee wellness are of increasingly urgent importance.
The paper discusses the challenges HRM is facing due to the current crisis in terms of remote working, and identifies the implications the pandemic has on human resources. The expert interviews conducted in Georgia indicate that HRM should consider ways to develop new policies for hybrid working models as a response to the current pandemic crisis.
