What is the Northern Ireland Backstop?
By theorkneynews on August 2, 2019 • ( 1 Comment )
The UK's decision to leave the European Union has thrown up a lot of new terms – 'Brexit' now in our everyday vocabulary – and now the phrase ' Backstop'.
In 1921 Ireland was partitioned
A brief overview of some of the legislation. If you want to read about the struggle for Irish Independence you will find plenty of excellent sources online and in public libraries.
By Michael 1952 via Wikimedia Commons
The Government of Ireland Act of 1920 established parliaments for "Southern Ireland and Northern Ireland and a Council of Ireland."
"For the purposes of this Act, Northern Ireland shall consist of the parliamentary counties of Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Londonderry and Tyrone, and the parliamentary boroughs of Belfast and Londonderry, and Southern Ireland shall consist of so much of Ireland as is not comprised within the said parliamentary counties and boroughs."
It was also proposed to establish a Council of Ireland "With a view to the eventual establishment of a Parliament for the whole of Ireland."
Next came The Anglo-Irish Treaty signed on the 6th December 1921.
Then The Irish Free State Constitution Act of 1922 was approved in both the Irish assembly and subsequently in the UK Parliament. On the very next day the parliament of Northern Ireland requested its secession from the Irish Free State.
And so Northern Ireland was created dividing up Ireland into two parts.
The Republic of Ireland
"It is hereby declared that the description of the State shall be the Republic of Ireland"
Southern Ireland officially became a republic on 18 April 1949, Easter Monday, the 33rd anniversary of the beginning of the Easter Rising.
In 1955 the Republic of Ireland joined the United Nations. In 1973 it joined the EEC (European Economic Community) later to become the EU (European Union) at the same time as the UK did.
The Republic of Ireland has become a very successful independent nation changing and adapting as it grew.
The Good Friday Agreement (also known as the Belfast Agreement) came into force on the 2nd of December 1999. It had been approved by voters across the whole of Ireland – north and south. It was opposed by the DUP.
The result of the referendum was
Northern Ireland: Yes 71.12%, No 28.88% Turnout 81.14%
Republic of Ireland: Yes 94.39% No 5.61% Turnout 56.26%
The Good Friday Agreement is an international agreement between 2 independent nations. It brought about the establishment of devolved government in Northern Ireland. People born in Northern Ireland are entitled to joint citizenship of both NI and the Republic of Ireland.
The Good Friday Agreement allows for a referendum to be held on Irish Reunification.
Perhaps people today have forgotten what brought about the Good Friday Agreement and why it was so overwhelmingly supported in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
The 'border' between the Republic of Ireland and NI is 500Km long. It twists and turns crossing and recrossing roads.
There was a common travel area (1923) across the whole of Ireland so that passports were not needed to move around. The UK's Ireland Act of 1949, stated that the Republic of Ireland was 'not a foreign country' for legal purposes.
Border check points were needed in the first instance for customs controls. These became targets during 'The Troubles'. The last British military watchtowers along the border were dismantled in 2006.
Whilst the UK and the Republic of Ireland are members of the EU there exists free movement of people and goods. This means there are no border controls. When the UK leaves the EU it will also be leaving the single market which permits this freedom of movement of people and goods. Northern Ireland, as part of the UK, will now become the land border between the UK and the EU which means customs duties have to be applied – free trade no longer exists between the UK and the EU.
The UK Government Agreement
The Agreement reached between the UK Government and the EU's Brexit negotiators would create a Northern Ireland Backstop – or in other words having no border controls between the UK and the Republic of Ireland at what would be the Northern Ireland land border. The free movement of people and goods would continue across the whole of Ireland. No time limit has been put on this within May's agreement.
The DUP are completely opposed to the May agreement. Remember they were also the only main party to oppose the Good Friday Agreement. Without the Northern Ireland backstop there would have to be border controls imposed again between the UK and the Republic of Ireland. This would be breaking the internationally recognised Good Friday Agreement which allows for a referendum to be held on a united Ireland. Northern Ireland voted to Remain in the EU – this support was strongest in those counties around the 'border' area.
What happens if there is a No Deal Brexit?
With a No Deal Brexit there would be no Northern Ireland Backstop. Northern Ireland would be entitled to a referendum on Irish Unity because the terms under which the Good Friday Agreement had been reached would be in tatters.

I've been looking in vain for a description/definition of 'backstop' that's understandable to an outsider (liberal American) like myself, this is finally it. Thank you, well done, and the cogent historical context helps too.

Kurt Busch Yes, Michigan!
Tuesday, Aug 08 2332
Kurt Busch may not remember the 1980s Michigan television commercials that ended with the theme "Yes, Michigan!"
But as the NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series rolls into historic Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, he is thinking "Yes, Michigan!"
Busch, driver of the No. 41 Monster Energy/Haas Automation Ford Fusion for Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR), has three wins at Michigan, which puts him in a tie with Matt Kenseth for most among active drivers. And just like at Pocono (Pa.) Raceway, he's won three times, with three different teams.
He scored his first win at Michigan in June 2003 driving for Roush Fenway Racing, then backed it up with a victory in August 2007 with Roger Penske. His last Michigan win came in a rain-shorted race with SHR in June 2015.
Busch also qualified on the pole in June 2010 and 2011 and has scored five top-five finishes at the 2-mile oval.
He'll be looking to take Ford back to victory lane at Michigan, which is about an hour from the Detroit area, where Ford is based. The blue oval has a long history at Michigan, winning nearly half the races since the track opened in 1969. Of the 96 NASCAR Cup Series races contested at Michigan, Ford and its Mercury brand have won 47 of them – 35 wins by Ford and 12 by Mercury.
Busch is credited with one of those triumphs – June 2003, when he snatched the lead from Jeff Gordon with 24 laps to go to claim his seventh career Cup Series win.
The Las Vegas native has four top-12 finishes, including a win, in his last five starts at the 2-mile oval. He's hoping to score another victory this weekend so he can once again proclaim, "Yes, Michigan!"

Rising-artist Mannywellz makes waves
March 5, 2018	/ no comments	/	232 views
SOULFRO ARTIST
By Basma Humadi, Assistant Lifestyle Editor
Mannywellz, a 24-year-old Nigerian-American musician and Maryland native, is making moves in his career. He recently came out with his new EP "Soulfro," which combines different musical genres, and will perform his first headlining show on March 5 at Union Market in D.C. at 7 p.m. Mannywellz will also stop by Mason at Volition and House Studio's Open Mic Night on March 8 at 7 p.m. in the JC Bistro. Check out our interview with him below:
You describe your music as 'soulfro'- what is that to you? Is that something you see being its own genre?
Soulfro is music from the soul with afro elements. So I don't know if it'll become its own genre. I don't think I want it to. I want it to be free. It's a style of music that allows me to touch various genres from hip-hop to r&b to soul to whatever I want to do. I think I prefer the idea of having soulfro as a freelancer. Something that just navigates and maneuvers through various genres.
Favorite song off the album?
It has to be "No I don't." I like because it's the fusion of numerous genres. I like fusining genres and sounds together, so I liked how I was able to mix jazz, hip-hop, scatting, and r&b in one song. I think that's my favorite song. I just like the way it feels, the way it makes me feel.
What first sparked your interest in music?
I was born into music and it was something that was always around me. I just fell in love with it. I came to a realization that music has power. Art has power. If you use music in the right way you can impact lives – and as soon I realized that I was like, "maybe I should try to do that because I want to make an impact on this earth".
How does being Nigerian influence your music?
One, is my accent. The way I speak and the way I sing is very Nigerian, I think. My tone is very Afro and African and that's always a first thing. So when I get on a hip-hop beat, it always sounds like a Nigerian kid on a hip-hop beat. I use a lot of percussive elements in my songs. I use the Talking Drum, which is a native drum in my language– Yoruba. And I use congos and a lot of percussions. Africans love percussions and they love to move and dance.
How did you end up touring with Jidenna and what was that experience like?
A friend of mine was playing my music for his camp and they loved it. When it was time to tour my management was talking to his and they decided they would make it happen. It was a dope experience because his team and his whole situation is pretty awesome. So like everyone was really chill and we all treated each other like family on tour. And we just had a lot of fun together. It was dope to be on the road together with another Nigerian artist in the states doing his thing. It was pretty inspiring too to know that other people could do it. People like myself and whatever artist that come from Africa want to do what he's doing.
How has your family responded to your music?
My family is definitely supportive. I think it's been interesting for them to watch me grow and grind. Set goals for myself and meet them. I hope it's inspiring to them to be able to do whatever they want. Not just my immediate family, but cousins and family friends, they're all happy and excited for me. They know all the lyrics to the songs and they enjoy the songs, so it's dope to have the support of family.
You also talk a lot about being a DACA recipient – How has that affected you?
It's affected me tremendously. On tour I couldn't go to Canada with Jidenna and that's because of my status. It's tough for people like me who need to travel and who need to move around at the moment. I can't leave the United States and we have a lot of plans to touch other parts of the world but I can't leave. So we're praying that gets fixed and we could make something happen in South Africa or wherever you wanna go.
What do you have coming up?
Our first headlining show is March 5th. I'm really excited for it because we've been rehearsing and working really hard to create and give people an experience. We want to see everyone there and for everyone to come out and support. The goal of this is to inspire people and make an impact.

With Executive Coaches now ten-a-penny, often with no better qualification or recommendation than being a "friend-of-a-friend" or an "old associate", and organisations rightfully confused about how to bring coaching into their business and whether and how to build an internal coaching culture, we would like to offer a refreshing viewpoint on how to begin to build a sustainable coaching culture and how you can be sure that your investment in this area will deliver a meaningful ROI and a long-term change for the positive within your organisation.
The focus of a coaching culture is on finding a way of tapping into the potential of all people within an organisation. Instead of forcing changes upon staff in the name of progress, by taking what Notion have dubbed an 'Operational Coaching' approach towards establishing a coaching culture, you are inviting everyone in the organisation, at every level, to step up and give more; to begin to maximise their potential.
It is well documented that employees are happier and thus more productive when they feel listened to and recognised for their contribution to the organisation. Operational Coaching works within the environment and beliefs of a business to ensure that everyone feels valued for their contribution and able to discuss this in an open and listening environment. Understanding how to ask better questions is also vital to establishing a successful coaching culture, with a swift benefit of reducing or even eliminating a culture of blame. Establishing the kind of culture where the predominant behaviour is focused more around helping people to think for themselves rather than telling them what to do can also help an organisation to embrace diversity by making it easier to work with colleagues from a range of different backgrounds, environments, and cultures.
The Captains of Industry (or the Leadership Team to you and me) can often be regarded as a group of mercenaries rather than a team, assembled for their particular skills and often with competing commitments during their tenure; what the organisation truly needs, compared with what they need to achieve personally to maximise their reward package.
Notion believes that the next captain should come from the crew for maximum organisational stability, and a key role of any Business Leader therefore should be to invest in both the talent pipeline as well as their succession development, preparing the next in line to take on the mantle of leadership. By role modelling an operational coaching approach themselves, the leadership team can build up and model their ideas with the next level of management thus spreading the benefits of an emerging coaching culture by encouraging their direct reports to behave similarly.
Leaders should project a positive role model with the purpose of operational coaching clearly articulated and linked directly to supporting the core business strategy. Ideally, the desire to create a Coaching Culture should have a clear sponsor who is highly thought-of within the organisation and Senior Managers in the organisation should be seen to embrace and promote coaching themselves.

What TAG members say about the program:
"TAG has been a wonderful experience that has broadened my perspective about the art world. I have learned so much from so many artists such as Takashi Murakami, Guo Pei, Emily Carr, and Cindy Sherman. Learning about these artists has helped me expand my art style, and given me inspiration for both my portfolio and my own exhibition. Getting to meet and work with artists and curators is also an amazing experience that I could have not gotten elsewhere."
"...this program was really valuable because it provided local art connections I could use later on in life as an emerging artist. I learned about Vancouver based artists, local art exhibitions, and even about the VAG itself. I feel more connected to my city as a result, and have created pieces in class I can use or experiment with for my personal portfolio."
TAG 2020-2021 Online Delivery & COVID-19 Response
Emily Carr University is preparing for a safe return to on-campus activity this fall, shaped by public health guidelines, as well as BC's Go-Forward Guidelines for post-secondary institutions.

A spice jar I agree ..... how big is it?
1275 shape looks as though it is from the Titian range (ref P 129 Monk) two pieces next to the jug. They were marketed as Country Fair and yes they did have corks , here is my sample, shape 1268.
Interesting that they picked up this shape from the 1970's and reused it in 1980.
Saw a Crown Lynn advert at the Museum for this ware and it showed the whole range including a large platter with dots around the rim ... my notes are at home - will check them later.
Oh I forgot to mention that the little gold label on my pot had 'Country Fair' printed in red as a line across the centre but it is now faded to a faint gold.
These are 10cm tall including corks and have 1275 on base as well.

Luke and Donald and Lombardi, of Lombardi & Son Masonry, with the Lombardi Lift prototype.
US-based Lombardi & Son Masonry has demonstrated its Lombardi Lift prototype for the first time.
The platform is designed to be attached to a standard boom as a replacement to the usual basket. Its design can form a U-shape, or even surround a vertical structure to provide 360 degree access.
The platform can be adjusted to surround various structure widths and depths, as well as having the ability to move vertically up and down them.
"Simultaneously accessing two or more sides of a structure with the Lombardi Lift minimizes the need to reposition the boom base during a job," said Donald Lombardi, who designed and patented the Lombardi Lift: Versatile Aerial Work Platform, in 2007.
The product also holds an additional two US patents and one Canadian patent for its design. The prototype was constructed at Diversified Product Development, an engineering and manufacturing company specializing in heavy industrial equipment.
Lombardi & Son Masonry, LLC is a third generation family company specialising in brick and stone restoration and repairs and is located in Manchester by the Sea, Massachusetts and is also run by Luke Lombardi.

Boys Hoops: Handicapping the playoff teams, plus a look inside the top 10
Which characteristics make or break a team's chances of a playoff run?
Ivan Canete's unbelievable 2012-13 season has Grandview primed for a state run.
If it's dominant wing play, Suncoast and Atlantic look very good. A steady point guard? Royal Palm Beach and St. Andrew's have that setup. Well-balanced lineups with spread-out scoring? Jupiter, Wellington and Palm Beach Lakes have that. Or is it all about star power? Grandview Prep and Lake Worth would be your teams.
Entering district playoffs, Palm Beach County possesses 12 or 13 teams capable of deep postseason runs. Whether they break from the pack or not, they have to get through every head coaches' nightmare: trap games against district rivals. You can see the entire district playoff schedule here.
Before the win-or-go-home fun, let's break down the Post Top 10, which didn't change from last week's poll. Cardinal Newman made a strong case, yet again, for a ranking, as did Spanish River. Benjamin also re-entered the picture. But you can't drop Atlantic or Lake Worth for losing to Jupiter. And you can't penalize Grandview Prep for a loss this week.
Here's the last ranking for the 2012-13 season. The playoffs will take care of the true rankings from here on out.
Final 2012-13 Top 10
1. Grandview Prep (23-2)
2. Summit Christian (19-5)
3. Palm Beach Lakes (21-3)
4. Jupiter (16-5)
5. Atlantic (19-6)
6. Lake Worth (21-4)
7. St. Andrew's (18-3)
8. Suncoast (21-4)
9. Wellington (18-7)
10. Royal Palm Beach (17-5)
Also considered: Cardinal Newman, Spanish River, Benjamin. Best of the Treasure Coast: Martin County, Treasure Coast, Jensen Beach.
I'm a stats guy. Soak these up.
Grandview Prep guard Ivan Canete finished one of the best regular seasons in recent memory. Remember when I left him off the preseason watch list because he didn't play enough last season? I'm a comedian, I swear. In 25 games this year, Canete's stat line is unbelievable: 24.1 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.1 blocks per game. He's not always the primary ball handler for Grandview, which is a guard-heavy team, but he certainly has it in his hands in key moments. He's taken 23 percent of Grandview's shots, but he's efficient: Canete accounts for 30 percent of the Pride's scoring. His 3.9-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio would normally stick out as his most impressive stat (at least to me), until you see his shooting percentages. Get this: 69 percent on all field goals, 75 percent from 2, 47 from 3. Unreal.
Few teams rose as quickly as Summit Christian. I started the Saints high in the rankings. I dropped them just as fast. They struggled early on, and I kept a wait-and-see tag on them after they beat Lakes. But Summit just keeps on chugging, up to 19-5 with the postseason starting. Shane Phillips (6-3), Josue Levy (6-3) and Richard Gaetano (6-1) give the Saints a good-sized trio of skill players, and that's hard to match at the high school level.
Some good numbers from Palm Beach Lakes: The Rams average 24 baskets a game. Sixteen of those 24 baskets are assisted. That shows how good of a passing team Lakes is, and throw in that six players average five or more points, and you can see why Lakes is still considered the best large school team in the area. Lorenzo Hands's bunch spreads the ball, forces turnovers (12 steals a game) and runs the floor as a unit. Royal Palm Beach nipped them two weeks ago, but Lakes is still the 13-7A favorite.
Fourth-ranked Jupiter found its spark late in the season in 6-4 wing Mike Edgley. Sure, he's been steady all season, scoring 14 points a game and leading Jupiter in points. But lately Edgley elevated his game a bit. The past three contests, he's scored 20.6 points per contest. He's the same aggressive rim-attacker he's always been. Now he shoots the 3 a bit more comfortably. He got 34 points against Lake Worth last week, stretching Lake Worth's defense with some baseline jumpers and three 3s, then sliced through the openings for layups and floaters. If he plays like that in the postseason, Jupiter can make a deep, deep run.
If you really want to try to pick between Atlantic and Lake Worth, good luck. Both teams leave a lot to be desired, but bring a ton of good stuff to the table. The talent is eye-catching.
Atlantic's a bit deeper than Lake Worth. Thomas Owens (13.3 points a game) and Jamal Palmer (19.8) get a ton of points in transition. Their roles in halfcourt sets generally change to perimeter shooters. Earlier this season that concerned me. I didn't think Atlantic attacked enough to break down defenses, and the missed 3s led to run-outs and easy baskets on the other end. Late in the season, revisit Atlantic's stat line. LaTron Nelson's become the team's inside X-factor, going for 10 and six a game. He's always been a solid player, but he's improved with the season. Josh Strainge, a devastating shooter, gets nine points a game now. Adding him to the formula of scorers gives Atlantic some oomph on offense. Still, the Eagles have to do better than 54 percent from the foul line. That's how you lose in the playoffs.
Andrew Owers flushes a dunk against Glades Day. His Cardinal Newman team's hot late in the season.
Lake Worth scores. A lot. Second-highest scoring team in the county behind Suncoast. More on the Chargers in a minute. I love Jerry Oliver and Eno Pierre-Louis scoring interior buckets for the Trojans. Craig Dukes can gun from 3. Aaron Horne (19.1 points a game) has the tendency to float in and out of games. Engaged, Horne is a dynamic scorer. Unplugged, though, and Lake Worth struggles a bit. The Trojans don't get too deep on their bench, and their man-to-man defense struggled a times against Jupiter last week, but when clicking, Lake Worth is a serious threat.
Wellington gets some nice, balanced scoring. Dondre Duffus has emerged as a Player of the Year candidate, with 15.2 points, 4.5 assists and 3.1 rebounds a game from the lead guard position. He's a high-volume shooter, but he still shoots a respectable 44 percent from the field, and 43 percent from 3. Stephon Gordon is an explosive athlete who scores 14 points and grabs seven rebounds a game. Alex Peavler's shooting 47 percent from 3 — and he's taken more than 100. This is a team that can go toe-to-toe with Jupiter, but the Wolverines need an answer for Edgley if (and when) they meet again.
At the 5A level, Suncoast looks like its old, old self with a high-octane offense. The Chargers' trio of LaTerence Butts, Jonathan Odjo and Santigie Fornah score more than 35 points a game, but there's an interesting pair of stats from Suncoast that you probably haven't seen before. Suncoast does a lot of work on offense inside the arc — only 22 percent of the Chargers attempted shots are from 3. But they're shooting at a 61-percent clip from 2. Not bad. But there's another stat that worries a handicapper: Suncoast has more turnovers than assists this season.
We broke down Royal Palm's late-season surge in today's newspaper. Here's more on the Wildcats.
St. Andrew's is still the 4A area team to beat, but Cardinal Newman looked pretty good to me on Friday night. I love the versatility of sophomore Andrew Owers, who handled the point and moved off the ball interchangeably on Friday. Travis Rudolph, one of the area's top Class of 2014 football prospects, is coach Tavarus Harris's top defensive stopper. And sophomore big guy John Collins has come on in the second half of the season to be the team's top inside guy.

Humpy says:
Wellington is in there because of its great coach, Matt Colin, and his staff which includes his brother, Mike Colin. Watch them make a good run in the Districts.
Coach IN PBC says:
I agree with Humpy

Prof. Linda Partridge has been Weldon Professor of Biometry at University College London (UCL) since 1994 where she is also the Director of the Institute of Healthy Ageing, a role she has held since 2007. In 2008, she was appointed as one of three founding Directors of the new Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing in Cologne, Germany. She was educated at the University of Oxford, UK, where she studied Zoology. She pursued her career as a post-doc at the University of York, UK, where she focussed on the behavioural and morphological aspects of bird research. Moving to Edinburgh University as a lecturer and then Professor of Evolutionary Biology, she extended her scientific interests to mechanistic evolutionary aspects and additional models for research, i.e. Drosophila melanogaster. She has since focussed her work on the biology of ageing – an area in which she has made significant contributions.
Discovery of genes and mechanisms that determine the rate of ageing.
Prof. Linda Partridge works on the biology of ageing. Her research is directed to understanding both how the rate of ageing evolves in nature and the mechanisms by which healthy lifespan can be extended in laboratory model organisms. Her work has focussed in particular on the role of nutrient-sensing pathways, such as the insulin/insulin-like growth factor signalling pathway, and on dietary restriction. She is the recipient of numerous awards including the Royal Society Croonian Lecture and a DBE for services to science both in 2009. She is also a Fellow of the Royal Society, the Academy of Medical Sciences, the European Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences as well as a founding director of the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing in Cologne and a Director of the UCL Institute of Healthy Ageing in London.
Her current research focuses on single gene mutations and environmental interventions, such as diet, that can extend healthy lifespan and protect against ageing-associated diseases in laboratory animals. She is also interested in translating these findings into novel interventions and new therapies to improve human health during ageing.

Chelsea given date for appeal against transfer ban
Christensen says players have been told there will be no departures this summer

Chelsea's appeal against their two-window transfer ban for signing underage players will be heard by a Fifa appeal committee on April 11th.
And Blues defender Andreas Christensen has revealed the club will attempt to keep hold of all their star players, such as Eden Hazard, this summer in response to the sanction.
Chelsea were hit with the ban, which runs until July 2020, last month and were also fined £460,000 (€536,000) for 29 breaches of Fifa's rules on the international transfer of minors.
Cross-border transfers of players under 18 are banned unless there are specific, non-football reasons for the player moving to the relevant country, although players over 16 can move within the European Economic Area.
At one point Fifa was investigating more than 100 cases involving Chelsea, going back several years, but eventually charged the Blues with 92 breaches of article 19 – the rule prohibiting the registration of minors – and other charges related to the club having third-party influence over other clubs' players.
Chelsea successfully defended themselves in 63 of these cases at a Fifa disciplinary committee but were found guilty of 29 illegal transfers.
The Stamford Bridge outfit were given 90 days to "regularise the situation of the minor players concerned" and the Football Association was also given a £390,000 fine for letting Chelsea register these players.
Wrongdoing denied
Strongly denying any wrongdoing, both Chelsea and the FA made their intentions to appeal clear at the outset, although only Chelsea are mentioned in Monday's Fifa statement about next month's hearing.
No other details were given in the short statement from a Fifa spokesperson.
Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have all been sanctioned for similar offences in the past and Manchester City are understood to be the next leading club in line for a sanction related to underage transfers.
Meanwhile, Christensen has revealed that Chelsea's players have been told there will be no departures this summer.
Belgium attacker Hazard has long been linked with a move to Real Madrid but may now have to stay put even if he wants to leave.
Christensen, who has struggled for playing time under boss Maurizio Sarri this season, told Danish publication Ekstra Bladet: "The situation I have ended up in has been very difficult to accept.
"The messages we have received are that Chelsea cannot appeal [against] the case and therefore want to keep all the players."

Curtin Malaysia and Press Metal Bintulu to renew collaboration under new MoU Tuesday 20 December 2022
Posted date: Wednesday 21 December 2022
Miri – 21 December 2022 – A team comprising 17 staff and 14 academics of the Faculty of Engineering and Science at Curtin University Malaysia (Curtin Malaysia), accompanied by three staff from its School of Pre-U and Continuing Education (SPACE), visited Press Metal Bintulu Sdn. Bhd.'s aluminium smelting plant in Samalaju recently.
This followed the signing of a collaborative Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and visit to Curtin Malaysia by the senior management of Press Metal Bintulu including group general manager Choa Wei Keong and general manager Kenzer Tan earlier this month.
During their meeting with the management at the plant, collaborative research and solutions for industrial problems were discussed, as well as continuing education for Press Metal Bintulu's staff, and joint community engagement programmes.
The visit was part of a 5-day industry engagement road trip undertaken by the team where they also visited industry partners in Bintulu, Balingian, Mukah and Sibu. In addition to Press Metal Bintulu, the other organisations visited were SOP Green Energy Sdn. Bhd., Sarawak Petchem Sdn. Bhd., Institut Ekosains Borneo at Universiti Putra Malaysia Bintulu Campus (UPMKB), Sarawak Energy Berhad (SEB) Mukah-Balingian Coal Fired Power Plant, Sarawak Association of Maritime Industries (SAMIN), Rajang Maju Marine Industries, Vitawani Shipbuilding, and CENTEXS Mukah.
During these visits, they discussed problems faced by the partners and how they could be solved through research and development, and joint projects that could be undertaken with students and staff.
There were also discussions on offering short courses by SPACE to industry staff, collaboration in curriculum development and learning and teaching to make courses at Curtin Malaysia even more industry relevant, opportunities for postgraduate studies by industry professionals, and the setting up of industry-sponsored laboratories at Curtin Malaysia.
The road trip was sponsored by Curtin Malaysia and Auto Pacifica Sdn. Bhd., the official Mitsubishi Motors dealer in Miri, who sponsored the use to two brand new off-road vehicles.
Ir. Dr. Lim Chye Ing, Associate Dean of External Engagement of Curtin Malaysia's Faculty of Engineering and Science, said it was the first time such a road trip was organised by the Curtin Malaysia academics and researchers and it proved a great success and all of the team's objectives were achieved.
"We have been in contact with all these organisations for some time but unfortunately were not able to meet physically due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is only now that we are able to do so, and wasted no time in visiting them all. The outcome has been very positive, resulting in a number of meaningful collaborations in the coming months," she said.
Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Science, Prof. Tuong-Thuy Vu, meanwhile, thanked all the organisations for the warm welcome extended to the Curtin Malaysia team, and he too, expressed hopes that many collaborations for the mutual benefit of Curtin Malaysia and the organisations, as well as the community at large, will result from the visits.
Information on Curtin Malaysia can be found on its website at www.curtin.edu.my, or look for Curtin Malaysia on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, or LinkedIn.

Rośliny lecznicze – najczęściej rośliny lądowe z których pozyskuje się surowce zielarskie, zawierające substancje czynne, stosowane w medycynie i ziołolecznictwie. Z niektórych części tych roślin wyrabia się leki (np. z korzeni, łodyg, liści, kwiatów). Na świecie poznano ok. 2500 gatunków roślin leczniczych. W Polsce rośnie ich ok. 400, a w praktyce stosowanych jest ok. 200. Zdecydowana większość z nich to rośliny naczyniowe, nieliczne należą do paprotników, porostów i glonów. Niektóre z gatunków ziół stosowane dawniej w ludowej medycynie, obecnie nie są już używane.

Większość roślin leczniczych jest również roślinami trującymi. Ich stosowanie wymaga fachowej wiedzy. Różnice między dawką leczniczą a toksyczną są niewielkie, ale zazwyczaj większe niż w wypadku substancji farmakologicznych. Istnieją też różnego rodzaju przeciwwskazania co do stosowania ziół przy niektórych chorobach, stanach fizjologicznych organizmu itp. W związku z tym stosowanie ziół w celu leczniczym  wymaga konsultacji z lekarzem.

According to the latest ONS data, Retail Sales volumes fell 1.2% and value declined 1.1% in May, worse than the falls expected by City Economists. Following a jump of 2.5% in April, due mainly to the un-seasonably good weather and the timing of the Easter break, the May figures provided a stark contrast.
The ONS measurement of the annual rate of growth in May fell to 0.9% the lowest level of growth since April 2013, and below the City expectations of a 1.7% increase.
Consumers have increasingly been feeling the impact of increased prices and weak wage growth, impacting on disposable income and household expenditure growth, which has been the driver of the UK economy over the last few years. Retail Sales are increasingly been seen as a key barometer of the health of the UK economy, accounting for almost 20% of total GDP.
The recently released Inflation figures showed an increase of 2.9% in May 2017, whilst average real wages fell 0.6% in the three months to April 2017.
With the exception of fuel, every single retail category reported a decline in May sales, compared to April. The volume of household goods sold (including home improvement) fell by 5.7%, while food sales declined the least at -0.9%. This suggests that consumers are prioritising essential purchases as opposed to discretionary items, such as home improvement, furniture and electronics.
The ONS also tracks an estimate of internet sales and the value of all non-food products in May increased 12.4% when compared to a year earlier.

Time Bandits are Running Wild
OldBoy Review with BTS of our Podcast
OldBoy podcast is now live.
Our latest podcast is on Memento
By gophotographer 2 weeks ago
Memento is a 2000 psychological thriller that follows a man named Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce) who suffers from short term memory loss and can not make any new memories. The film is presented with two separate sequences, one being in black and white that is being told in standard chronological order while the second sequence in color is playing scenes in reverse order of how they happen. This way of storytelling gives the audience a similar feeling to the lead character and causes confusion as to what is really happening. In the movie, Leonard uses notes and tattoos to remind himself of things and to try and live a useful life. His primary purpose in life has become to catch the killer of his wife, who also gave him his brain injury that has caused his condition. Yet over time, Leonard begins to become suspicious of his own notes and what is going on and thinks someone is trying to trick him into killing the wrong person. This film is entertaining from start to finish as you try and solve the puzzle of what is happening as you may feel as confused as Leonard.

Las Animas hemp crop rotting in legal limbo
By Christian BurneyBent County Democrat
Oct 11, 2019 at 7:06 AM Oct 16, 2019 at 11:47 AM
Nine months since local authorities mistakenly seized his hemp crop, Shamao Yang says, Yang finds himself frustrated with what he calls a lack of communication and sense of urgency from the Bent County Sheriff's Office.
Yang, of North Carolina, claims he is the owner of alleged marijuana confiscated by the sheriff's office and 16th Judicial District Attorney's Office on Jan. 10. The substance in question wasn't actually marijuana, he says; it was hemp he had grown legally in 2018 on property he registered with the Colorado Department of Agriculture.
Yang said that he had stored about 2,700 pounds of hemp in a storage locker across from Thaxton's Market and disputed the initial announcement from the sheriff's office saying the office had seized more than 10,000 pounds of suspected marijuana.
He said he intended to grow and harvest hemp for its CBD oil, a hot commodity that's still under research but widely believed to possess therapeutic medicinal properties.
"It's definitely not marijuana. It was hemp grown under the industrial hemp program of Colorado," Yang said. "We have a registered company name. We also have proof of purchase of hemp clones from the Colorado Hemp Institute.
"They came out during the grow period. We spoke with them," said Yang. "They said, 'OK, there were concerned citizens talking with us about you guys, (that you) were growing marijuana out here.'
"They were worried because our farm is open; we don't try to hide anything. It's just open," Yang said.
Though Yang lives in North Carolina, he tried his hand at farming in the Las Animas area after starting his business about 4 miles east of Las Animas along U.S. 50.
"We thought we were doing something great, as we've heard many wonderful stories of CBD and its benefits," Yang said. "My family used the life insurance money we received from the passing of our father (Wachue Yang) to create a brand to honor his name, Wachue Growing LLC, and now we have nothing."
Yang provided a Combined Planting and Harvest Report, a state ag department form, with Wachue Growing LLC's registration number and details regarding Yang's crop, to the Bent County Democrat.
Yang said he was told the storage locker that contained the alleged marijuana was registered under his cousin's name. He said he disputed that at the sheriff's office and told the Democrat that he sees the discrepancy as racial discrimination.
Yang said for months he often tried to inquire about his hemp but couldn't get in touch with anyone at the sheriff's office. When he was able to speak with someone on the phone, he was simply told that the sheriff's office was awaiting substance test results from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. That was nine months ago.
"If they feel confident enough to take me to court, we would have figured it out through discovery in a couple of weeks," said Yang. "There is an expiration date on my product. If they wait it out, my stuff is going to go bad. I'm not sure what they're trying to do."
Yang may be dismayed, but his hopes of growing hemp in the Arkansas Valley have not been dispelled. He said he would return next year to plant another crop.
Though the Democrat has called the Bent County Sheriff's Office for comment several times, its requests have not been acknowledged.

Sterling surge sees return of shoppers
Greg Harkin
November 28 2014 10:51 PM
BORDER shopping towns are seeing a new influx of visitors from the North, not witnessed for five years.
The increase in sterling means many shops in the Republic can offer up to €1.30 for the pound.
The boom isn't confined to retail, with hotels and restaurants also doing well after years of seeing consumers going the other way.
It's also good news for the thousands of cross-border workers who get paid in Sterling in the North but live south of the Border.
"The exchange rate has held now for a considerable period and that has boosted confidence," said Toni Forrester, CEO of the Letterkenny Chamber of Commerce.
"We are seeing large numbers of customers coming from Derry and even from Belfast.
Prices have come down and with the exchange rate they are getting even better value.
"You just have to look at the number of Northern cars in our car parks to see the difference."
The retail sector is also getting a boost from consumers in the Republic who are staying at home to do their shopping in the run-up to Christmas.
"I'd like to see all retailers offering the same exchange rate at €1.30 across the board because many don't. Some shops are offering €1.10 and it would be better if we all stuck to the same rate," said Gary Cooney, who opened a home and garden centre just four weeks ago in Letterkenny.
Terry McEniff, owner of Letterkenny's Mount Errigal Hotel, says the tourism industry is also getting a late-year boost from the value of sterling.
"We are booked out," he said. "We've had a great year with the Wild Atlantic Way and visitors now coming from all over Ireland.
"There is an added boost now from groups coming to the town to shop and booking in for the weekend."
