One's love for party must be shown by deed, asserts Biren
IMPHAL, Jul 6: One should never do any harm to the State and let people suffer in pursuit of self-interests. If one genuinely loves BJP, the love should be shown by deeds, not rhetoric, asserted Chief Minister N Biren while launching a BJP membership drive today.
On the other hand, IPR Minister Th Biswajit claim-ed that he would continue to strive for the growth of BJP in the State.
Even if there are certain internal grievances, no dissent would last long and BJP would certainly see better days in the State soon, Biswajit said.
BJP Membership Drive 2019 was formally launched at the auditorium of Mani-pur State Film Development Society, Place Compound today under the aegis of BJP Manipur Pradesh.
It is said that the membership drive would continue till August 30 and it is aimed at increasing the party's primary membership and active workers by 20 per cent.
Notably, BJP purportedly has 4.40 lakh primary members and 5,634 active members.
Speaking at the gathering, Chief Minister N Biren asserted that one should never let the masses suffer in pursuit of self-interests.
The masses have the authority to reprimand and punish all the elected members. This is one firm belief of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and this belief is one major factor for the astounding success of the Prime Minister, Biren said.
Narendra Modi's politics of dependence on the masses is worth emulating. No force will be able to hold back BJP as long as people supports it and are happy with the party's policies and activities, he said.
Tarun Gogoi, former Congress Chief Minister of Assam once stated that it is essential to take into account BJP's organisational structure if the Congress party should be strengthened, Biren quoted.
He also quoted former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee who once stated that more than 300 BJP MPs would sit in the Lok Sabha someday. Today 303 BJP MPs have been elected. Credits for this spectacular success go to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP National president Amit Shah, said the Chief Minister.
Warning that it would be very difficult for BJP to return to power in the State if the party once forfeits people's trust, Biren advised all BJP workers and supporters to toil day and night so as to ensure people's continuous support to the party.
Pointing out that BJP has captured one of the State's two Lok Sabha seats within two years of coming to year even though Congress party ruled the State for 15 consecutive years, the Chief Minister asserted that one needs to understand BJP's ideology thoroughly and work sincerely.
If one loves BJP genuinely, lip service is not enough, it should be shown by deeds. The party needs to search those people who can show their love for the party by deeds and admit them within the party, he said.
He then called upon all BJP workers and supporters to work collectively and sincerely so that BJP wins not less than 40 seats in the 2022 State Assembly election.
"BJP's crisis is an internal matter and there will be a solution to it. Let's work together. Nation, State and the people are the paramount. It would not be right to let people suffer on account of me and/or us", he asserted.
IPR Minister Th Biswajit said that BJP is a big party and the membership drive launched today would help the party evolve into the biggest and most powerful political party in the world.
He also called upon all stake holders to keep aside all internal differences and march together in a new direction towards rapid development of the State.
"I joined BJP for the party and I would continue to strive for the party's growth and it is our duty to take Manipur on a path of rapid development", Biswajit said.
BJP ST Morcha National president and Rajya Sabha MP Ramvichar Netam talked about different projects taken up at the initiative of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for development of the North East region.
He also appealed to the masses to enrol in BJP so as to further strengthen the party.
BJP Manipur Pradesh president and Rajya Sabha MP K Bhabananda said that organisational election for BJP Manipur Pradesh would be held after the ongoing enrolment drive is over and there would be a new president of BJP Manipur Pradesh.

"Very well presented, good feedback from the instructor. When questions were asked an explanation was given to test if I had understood the previous work. Good all round."
"The course was based around the electronic practical examples, but where it was necessary to give examples, these were clearly presented."
"I loved this course. It was really fun, useful and has given me a lot more confidence in SQL. I feel now that I can actually write a script on my own without tweaking someone else's. I also have a good method of working and will try to remember all of the tutor's tips! Brilliant. Can you come back please?"

When Michael Farris and Michael Smith founded Home School Legal Defense Association in March of 1983, home schooling was just a tiny blip on the education radar screen.

The Battle of H.R. 6
House Resolution 6 of 1994 was a reappropriations bill for the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).

History of Homeschooling
Home in education has been around as long as Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve had no teachers or school to send their children to, so they simply had to do it themselves.

Homeschooling: A Patchwork of Days: Share a Day With 30 Homeschooling Families
From a bedroom community in Nebraska to a farm in Vermont, from families who rely on workbooks to those who have sworn them off, this in-depth examination of the lives of homeschoolers covers a wide range of people and methods. When author Nancy Lande started homeschooling more than 10 years ago, this is the book she wanted that didn't exist. What better way to create your homeschool than reading about others and picking and choosing the styles that appeal to you? Lande has corralled a variety of homeschoolers and, with some deft editing, allowed them to speak for themselves. Every chapter features a different household on any given day. Many of the writers are mothers, but a stay-at-home dad and several children tell their tales as well. Their detailed descriptions start in the waking hours of morning and get down to the nitty-gritty information of everyday life in a homeschool: how moms fit in showers, how chores are divvied up, how reading and research are gently initiated, how parents set aside time for themselves.
These writers invite the reader into their homes and advise, "Don't mind the mess." Their passages are often funny and unflinchingly honest. They aren't embarrassed to tell you they whipped out SpaghettiOs for a hurried lunch or stole a peek at CNN while ignoring the chaos in the playroom. Some of the families have created highly structured school environments within their homes, with desks and sharpened pencils. Others promote freestyle learning, with their children sprawled across the house working on projects or reading in between walking the dog, playing games, and riding bikes. The majority of families here live in Pennsylvania, the author's home state, but one writes from as far away as Scotland, another lives on a mountain in Alaska, and yet another checks in from a college town in Texas. Their learning logs, reading lists, and journal entries, along with family photos, help illustrate the book. The quilt they piece together is a great service to those wondering how to approach homeschooling. --Jodi Mailander Farrell
Homeschoolers' Success Stories : 15 Adults and 12 Young People Share the Impact That Homeschooling Has Made on Their Lives
Despite their growing numbers, many homeschoolers still find their experience somewhat isolating. This collection of short biographies aims to alleviate some of that loneliness. While the stories profile modern-day homeschool grads and students, famous homeschooled personalities from the past are offered up early in the book for historical inspiration. John Adams, Abraham Lincoln, steel magnate Andrew Carnegie, newspaper publisher Joseph Pulitzer, photographer Ansel Adams, poet Robert Frost, and songwriter Irving Berlin join the long list dug up by author Linda Dobson. And just in case there were any doubts that fame has eluded today's homeschooled, Dobson throws in actresses Whoopi Goldberg and Jennifer Love Hewitt, the Hanson singer siblings, and conservative commentator William F. Buckley Jr. The people whose stories are told here are successful entrepreneurs, Ivy League students, and athletes, such as Miami Dolphins defensive end Jason Taylor and U.S. ski team member Todd Lodwick. But to Dobson's credit, she unearths a healthy array of "regular folk" as well. Their stories are no less interesting and, most importantly, they dispel the notion that homeschooled children are over-the-top achievers and freaks of nature. Among the subjects here are an Arkansas state trooper, a private chef, an art gallery owner, and a Cost Guard Reserve seaman.
Each chapter begins with a photo and yearbook-style sketch of the personality, complete with favorite areas of study and a memorable quote. The biographies are short and insightful, with the author often injecting her own thoughts. Dobson, the mother of three homeschooled children, has written numerous books on the topic (The Homeschooling Book of Answers and Homeschooling: The Early Years, among them) and is a news editor and columnist for Home Education Magazine. In her casual, succinct writing style, she brings to life personalities that have little in common beyond their method of education. Some were taught at home completely; others for only a few years. They offer advice, warnings, and fond memories. And their overriding message is that homeschooled people are just as diverse and interesting as the students found in traditional schools. "We are not alone," is the cry heard from these pages. --Jodi Mailander Farrell

We brought the kids over to the play place at the McDonalds this afternoon, while a realtor showed our house. Mike and I sat there with our noses in our portuguese book ready to endure the fabulous McDonald's ambiance. Instead we found ourselves talking to Janice at the next table who was keeping her two young boys busy while her husband was laid up with the stomach flu.
It turns out her oldest son was born while they were living in Hong Kong, they came home on her mother's request when she became pregnant with her second. It was great to talk to someone who's lived as an expatriate. She was so enthusiastic (and jealous) about our plan. We actually had a lot in common. She's reformed Jewish like Mike and her husband is really into comics. I hope we get to meet him. She said they've been talking about New Zealand, I hope they get to go! I guess you never know who you'll meet in McDonalds, that is where we found Enzo (our dog).


May's ministers have reportedly threatened to resign if Britain agrees to a long extension of Article 50.
LONDON – Theresa May has abandoned plans to request a lengthy delay to Brexit of up to two years after a threatened revolt from her Cabinet.
"[The prime minister] won't be asking for a long extension," a senior government official said.
Speaking to ITV's Good Morning Britain, the education secretary, Damian Hinds, confirmed that any extension would be short.
"The letter to Donald Tusk will be setting out what we are looking for in terms of short extension," he said.
A longer extension would have likely triggered a series of walkouts from May's Cabinet by senior Brexiteers, many of whom are already furious about the prime minister's inability to ensure that Britain leaves by the original Article 50 deadline.


My family had pictures taken while at a family reunion this past summer and I really tried to coordinate the clothing for my family. I happened to have some white and blue ruffle fabric in my stash. Pigg#2 loves anything ruffly or girly but my personal style is a bit more simple. So when I saw this dress on Amazon, I though I'd try to make a similar dress with the ruffle fabric. I had to line the tunic I made with some really lightweight white knit because it was a bit sheer. The front and back are the same, just a little lower neckline in the front. She loves to wear it!
I told her to do a pretty pose like a princess and caught her in the movement.
And Pigg#4 joined in the pictures. She has so many hand me down clothes that I don't really sew for her. Sad. Baby girls are Way. Too. Much. Fun!
Very cute! And I can't believe how big #4 is getting!

What did the Adjutant General do?
The Adjutant General's series contains 43 books. This seems like a daunting task to locate the specific regiment, but the librarians were kind enough to assemble that information on a sheet located next to the collection.
Names are ordered LAST, FIRST within the regiments. You should search these books with the same spelling found in Wilt's Index.
MacOmber, Otis - Age, 28 years. Enlisted at Carlton, to serve three years and mustered in as private, Co. B, August 8, 1863; captured in action, May 5, 1864 at the Wilderness, Va.; paroled, April 21, 1865; Discharged, June 27, 1865 at New York City; also born McOmber.
The information in red allows us to verify this as the Otis we are looking for. 28 years old in 1863 means he was born in 1835 as indicated on his gravestone. He was born, raised and lived in Carlton, which is also noted here.
The information in green will allow us to send to the National Archives for documents relating to his service and pension, which will give us a large amount of vital information about Otis and who he was.

Since debuting just four months ago, its ultra-low-cost SPDR Portfolio suite has already attracted over $10 billion in inflows, as investors continue to gravitate towards the lowest cost ETFs.
The milestone was passed on Friday, Feb. 16.
Matthew Bartolini, Head of SPDR Americas Research at State Street Global Advisors, told ETF Trends that before the restructuring, only three of the 15 funds had over $1 billion AUM.
Now nine of the ultra-low-cost funds are in the $1 billion club.
"Clients can construct portfolios with confidence – trading costs are really important," Bartolini said. "When new products are launched, even if they are low fee, you have a hard time garnering assets and trading liquidity."
When SSGA did the restructuring, Bartolini said they knew it wasn't enough to just be the lowest cost exposure in a category, but the funds also needed existing assets, established liquidity and track records.

Montreal, Wednesday June 15th 2005– The Non-Smoker's Rights Association and Physicians for a Smoke-Free Canada congratulate Canada's Minister of Health, Ujjal Dosanjh, for ensuring that all cigarettes sold in Canada after October 1st 2005 meet the Cigarette Ignition Propensity Regulations published last Monday, the 13th of June. The new regulations will make cigarettes less likely to start fires, by making cigarettes that are left unattended either generate less heat or extinguish themselves. Between 1995 and 1999, unattended cigarettes caused fires that killed a total of 356 people and injured 1615 more.
Cigarettes sold in New York State have been subject to similar regulations since June 2004. Vermont, California and Massachusetts are looking into setting similar standards. Canada is the first country to adopt regulations at the national level, and other countries are likely to follow.
"Until now, cigarettes were designed to keep burning regardless of whether the person was actively smoking them. The implementation of this regulation means that as of October 1st 2005, the risk of cigarettes starting fires is not eliminated but considerably reduced. The technology was out there. It was unacceptable that governments were not forcing tobacco manufacturers to use it," explained Neil Collishaw, director of research with Physicians for a Smoke-Free Canada.
"We congratulate the Minister of Health, Ujjal Dosanjh, as well as Health Canada for insuring that the Cigarette Ignition Propensity Regulation came to be. With all that is going on in Ottawa, we were fearful that the publication of this regulation would be relegated to a much a later date. Everyone, with the exception of the tobacco manufacturers who opposed this initiative, agreed on how instrumental this public safety and health measure would be to save lives," added Mr. Damphousse.

An APPEAL to REASON: A Compendium of the Writings of Willis A. Carto quantity
For the first time, between two covers, the preeminent writings of one of the most controversial and outspoken figures in the modern American political arena . . .
For over 50 years, Willis A. Carto was at the center of the American nationalist movement, responsible for the publication of literally hundreds—no, thousands—of books, newspapers, magazines, monographs and other literature that has reached millions of readers in the U.S. and around the globe.
Through weekly publications such as The Spotlight and American Free Press and such widely-read journals as The Barnes Review, Carto has been responsible for maintaining traditional American populism and nationalism as a thriving force in the political debate over the conduct of U.S. (and international) affairs.
In this selection of Carto's writings—ranging over half a century—longtime Carto associate Michael Collins Piper has assembled a fascinating array of Carto's most cogent works, from short essays to extended dissertations on a wide variety of topics: from economics and foreign policy and cultural affairs and on to religion and history and current events—a virtual intellectual panoply needed by every patriotic American—and every nationalist around the globe—in the battle to reclaim national sovereignty in the face of the greatest assault the world's people have ever faced: the looming New World Order.

BLACKBALLED by HISTORY: True Tales of Some of History's Most Demonized Characters


Introduced in 1991 with the 964 Carrera RS model, Ruby Stone Red is a bold factory color that goes against the stereotypical Porsche owners style. For the 991 era, Porsche renamed Ruby Stone to Ruby Star as one of the paint-to-sample color options, which happens to share the same color code as the original Ruby Stone Red - 82N. Additionally, the original german name for the color was "STERNRUBIN" which in direct translation is Star Ruby. The owner of this Ruby Star 991 mk2 GT3 opted for our RXX option list to be even more adventurous. The interior received our in-house fabricated seat inserts, with a fabric choice that mimics classic Porsche Jubilee in the 80's - but with a modern twist and the color to match Ruby Star. Our protective leather bolster covers were also fitted to the lightweight buckets, in addition to color matched harness belt passages. The standard black seat belts were changed to custom made Wine Red to further enhance the color scheme.
To complete the Ruby Star theme, the standard black headlight washer nozzles & satellite radio antenna were also color matched to the body.
To see more images of this 991.2 GT3 along with the full build list, please visit the gallery here.
This is just a small sample of what is available on the RXX option list, please contact us below for specific details on how we can help with your build.
The last installment of the aircooled 911s featured a newly revised rear suspension set-up engineered by Porsche. While this 5 link rear suspension vastly improved the handling characteristics of the 993 over the predecessor 964 weissach axle, enthusiast 993 owners felt the suspension to be too soft. By request, our client requested more out of their 993, enter our RXX option list.
We improved on every corner of the 993 suspension by installing JRZ RS coilovers, replacing rubber bits everywhere with heim joints and spherical bearings and fine tuning the suspension alignment to make this car feel as if it's riding on rails. The 993 also received several favorable OEM Carrera RS parts that included motor & transmission mounts, sway bars, end links, and strut tower brace. To help upon the stock shifter slop we installed the FD Motorsports short shift kit and golden rod.
The entire 5 link rear suspension along with the rear subframe mounts were refinished with ERP parts to eliminate any rubber play in the rear. ERP adjustable kinematic links, camber links, toe steer and rear lower control arms were also fitted.
The front suspension was treated with refurbished control arms that were fitted with Elephant Racing spherical bearings to replace the OEM rubber ones and further complimented with fresh ball joints. The steering rack was enhanced with the ERP bump steer tie rod kit.
After the complete suspension overhaul was finished, we then took to improving braking by installing the Porsche big red brake kit refinished to OEM yellow.
In-house fabricated RS door cards were installed featuring OEM Carrera RS door pulls and seat belts to keep the yellow theme going. The front fog lights units were exchanged for Turbo S cooling ducts with LED lights to help keep this car running cooler.
After setting the ride height to Carrera RS spec the bump steer in the front and rear of this car was finely tuned to get the most of the every upgrade. To further the RS theme, the owner opted for 3 piece Tramont Cup 2 wheels with a deep dish and aggressive fitment.
To see more images of this 993 C2S along with the full build list, please visit the gallery here.
Please contact us to discuss how we can help refresh your personal project.
While the option list when ordering any Porsche may seem overwhelming, some of our clients request something even more. Enter our in-house RXX option list. With a similar philosophy to the original Porsche Special Request Programme aka "Special Wishes", the RXX option list allows for exclusive tailoring of both interior and exterior components beyond that of the factory.
After taking delivery of a new 991.2 GT3, our client opted to swap the color matched olive rear view mirrors with black bases with genuine Porsche carbon fiber mirrors and color matched olive bases. The standard black headlight washer nozzles and radio antenna were also replaced with color matched olive trim to appear more subtle on the body.
The standard OEM center lock wheels were also replaced in favor of Forged magnesium monoblock BBS wheels. Originally delivered in satin titanium, the wheels were custom finished with a more muted white gold and wrapped them with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. To further this olive/white gold color scheme we added color matched GT3 door stickers and rear badge.


The most common mental disorders in children and adolescents include anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder. Children and adolescents are often treated with psychotherapy together with newer antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs).
Psychologists from the University of Basel analyzed 36 drug trials in cooperation with colleagues from Harvard Medical School and the American National Institute of Mental Health. The trials included data from 6,778 children and adolescents up to the age of 18.
According to the study, the effects of antidepressants and placebos vary according to the type of mental disorder: antidepressants have a greater specific effect in the case of anxiety disorders than depressive disorders. On the other hand, placebos have a stronger effect in depressed patients than in those with an anxiety disorder. Lead authors Dr. Cosima Locher and Helen Koechlin from the Division of Clinical Psychology & Psychotherapy at the University of Basel's Faculty of Psychology see potential here for new treatment concepts. These would make use of factors contributing to the placebo effect, applying them specifically to the treatment of depression.
However, the meta-analysis also shows that antidepressants play an important role in the treatment of mental disorders in childhood and adolescence. "With this in mind, it's important to examine the relationship between clinical benefit and possible side effects in consultation with the doctor treating the patient," says Locher.

Q: Определить угол рыскания (yaw) используя только акселерометр Подскажите, возможно ли вообще в принципе определить угол рыскания устройства (yaw, вращение относительно вертикальной оси) используя только акселерометр. Как это сделать используя магнетометр (компас) мне понятно.

A: С одним акселерометром в нужной плоскости(xy) это можно сделать только если вы абсолютно точно знаете, вокруг какой точки вращается устройство. Если ось вращения неизвестна, то понадобятся дополнительные источники данных, например гироскоп.
Вот статья на хабре как определять углы с помощью акселерометра и гироскопа.

Etymological landscapes
Many place names survive from the early middle ages and from even earlier. The spelling may have changed but the roots are still identifiable.
In a lot of cases the names of settlements include a personal name, presumably the most important person – mostly male, but sometimes female*. Other place names describe the location using the visible landscape topography and identifiable natural environment features, and also indicate the worth of the land being described i.e. whether it is fertile or not, whether it has been cleared for agriculture. People and personal names have changed but where a settlement or location is named after its topography or a nearby habitat it can still be possible to see why today where these features still exist a thousand years later.
Old Celtic/British
These kind of place names are rare on the eastern side of England because this is where the Anglo-Saxon and Viking forays and then annexations began, securing their footholds and establishing new settlements before entrenching. So it is more often features, in particular rivers, rather than settlements that have an Old British name.
North York Moors examples:
Glais(dale) – small stream, or grey/blue/green
River Esk – water
River Derwent – river where oaks are common
River Dove – black, dark
River Rye – hill, ascent
The Roman Empire in the British Isles reached the North York Moors and beyond. Roman features like forts and roads which were few and far between are described in subsequent Old English place names elsewhere, but not so much in the North York Moors.
Old English (Anglo-Saxon, Anglian)
Personal names such as Beage* (Byland), Broc (Broxa), Ecga (Egton), Helm (Helmsley), Poca (Pockley).
Ampleforth – a ford where sorrel grows
Cawthorn – a cold place with hawthorn trees
Goathland – good land (surrounded by the barren moorland)
Hackness – a hook shaped headland around which a river flows
Lealholm – small island where willows grow
River Riccal, tributary of the River Rye – calf of the River Rye or little Rye
Ruswarp – silted land where brushwood grows
Norse (Viking, Scandinavian)
Personal names such as Asulfr (Aislaby), Bolti (Boltby), Rudda* (Rudland), Thymill (Thimbleby), Uggi (Ugthorpe).
Ellerbeck – a stream next to alder trees or woodland
Fangdale – valley with a river for fishing
Hesketh – a race course
Laskill – the location of a hut, possibly with abundant lichen
Lythe – a hillside, a slope
Sleights – a level field
Upsall – a high homestead or hall
The basic rule of thumb is that if a settlement name ends in –by (farmstead, village) it is from the Norse, and if it ends in –ton or –ham (enclosure, farmstead, village, manor, estate) it is from the Old English. Another frequent Old English place name ending is –ley or –ly meaning a clearing and then later, when more established, a pasture.
Sometimes there is no question about the origin of a place name, for example Danby is very clearly connected to the Vikings – it means a settlement of Danes. But there were often Norse settlements alongside Anglo-Saxon settlements as the populations fluctuated, adjusted and integrated over time. Many places names were hybridized, adapted and amalgamated e.g.
Kirby Knowle – village with a church (Norse), below a knoll/small round hill (Old English)
Ingleby Greenhow – village on a hill (Norse) which is green and belongs to the Angles/English (Old English)
Scugdale – valley with Goblins (Scandinavianized Old English)
There are common words still used in the north of England such as beck (Norse) for a stream, rig or rigg (Norse) for a ridge, mire (Norse) for a bog, and dale (Old English) for a valley. Moor is an Old English word for an unproductive marsh or barren upland area.
Old French (Norman) – unlike the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings who came with populations that were then settled and absorbed, the Norman invasion was more of a baronial take over so Norman names mainly occur around seats of power demarcating property and patronage.
Rievaulx – valley of the River Rye, is close by Helmsley Castle which belonged to the De Roos family.
Grosmont – big hill, an off shoot monastery named after the mother house at Grosmont in France.
Where settlements now include 'le' in their names, this is sometimes a modern addition and doesn't necessarily indicate a Norman/French connection.
Then there are newer, more obvious names with recognisable descriptive (Middle and then Modern English) words and connotations like Black Moor, Cold Moor, Littlebeck, Sandsend, Church Houses, Low Mill. Sometimes however what seems obvious is not necessarily so. The name Rosedale probably isn't to do with roses at all, it's more likely to be about horses (hross is the Old Norse word for horse). Robin Hood is a generic name for a thief, so Robin Hood's Bay might be more to do with its excellent location for smuggling, rather than a connection to THE Robin Hood.

Ecclesiastical issues new broker guidance for education sector risks
By Clare Ruel2022-01-06T17:09:00+00:00
Ecclesiastical's customer segment director says 'brokers play an important role' in helping education clients understand risk
Insurer Ecclesiastical has issued new guidance for brokers, to support those that deal with education clients on managing key risks in new buildings and sustainable projects.
This coincides with Ecclesiastical's latest research, published in November 2021, which surveyed 500 UK school leaders. The findings revealed that schools are responding to the climate crisis by investing in sustainable technologies and improving the efficiency of existing school buildings.
For example, 86% of the UK schools surveyed are currently in the process of constructing, or are planning to construct new buildings.

This includes 21% of schools where construction is currently taking place and 53% that will have new buildings constructed within the next one to five years.
Meanwhile, 11% of the schools polled plan to construct new buildings in more than five years' time.
Other building work projects schools are exploring include electric vehicle charging points (31%) and triple glazing (29%).
Faith Kitchen, Ecclesiastical Insurance's customer segment director, said: "As one of the leading insurers of schools in the UK, Ecclesiastical is passionate about supporting the education sector.
"Brokers play an important role in helping education clients understand the risks they are facing and ensuring they have the right cover in place."
Ecclesiastical launched its new proposition, Ecclesiastical Smart Properties, with property performance specialist Shepherd in July 2021. This uses technology to discreetly monitor for escape of water and electrical fire risks in real-time.
Schools piloting this technology will also have the option to expand the system to monitor other types of risks and issues, including improving energy consumption and carbon footprint reduction. This is provided at an additional cost.
Managing new risks
Ecclesiastical's survey also pinpointed the most popular sustainable investments schools are making within the next year. These include solar photovoltaics (PV) or heating panels (45%), buildings using modern methods of construction (MMC), such as cross laminated timber and rainscreen cladding (31%), and green, living walls or roofs (31%).
Kitchen added: "We hope this new risk guidance will help brokers encourage their education clients to consider how best to manage the risks they face when investing in new buildings and sustainability projects."
Guidance for schools investing in new buildings and sustainable projects
When considering a new school building or sustainability project, consult all interested parties - including insurers - at the earliest stage. This is because insurers' requirements for fire protection and building resilience may be higher than building regulations. Insurers should be involved at the design and planning stage, so they can work with schools to mitigate risks and advise on the protection measures needed.
Some materials used in MMC, such as timber framing and sheathing boards, insulation and cladding materials, are combustible. Where possible, look for alternative non-combustible materials to achieve the same sustainable results.
Natural materials, such as hemp, wool and straw and foam-based insulation products, are all classified as combustible materials when used in conjunction with timber framing or combustible cladding systems. This can therefore can have serious consequences for a building's ability to withstand the effects of fire. Where possible, use a non-combustible material - such as mineral wool or cellular glass - to insulate buildings.
When planning to install solar panels, always investigate the structural suitability of the building or roof and liaise with fire and rescue services on the location of panels and isolation switches.
Always use an accredited installer for the installation of any solar panels or biomass heating systems.
Biomass heating systems can present fire and carbon monoxide poisoning risks. To reduce these risks, ensure they are contained in their own fire-resisting compartment which is separated from the fuel store. Restrict access to fuel stores for authorised persons only. Clean out the boiler house regularly and remove all combustible waste. Clear out fuel stores regularly and get flues to boilers inspected and cleaned regularly by a competent person.

We were looking for financial freedom, a more simplistic and less consumeristic lifestyle, but we weren't looking for a $5,000 dwelling or even a $20,000 one. We knew that if a tiny house were going to work for us we were going to have to love being in it and for us, that meant a kitchen we could cook in with upgraded appliances, tons of upgraded windows to keep the heating/cooling inside while letting the light and "space" of the outside in…and a construction that would last our lifetime. We also knew that we weren't going to be able to build it ourselves so we were going to have to pay for someone else's' time and experience.
Sure, we had the ability to access a large chunk of cash in the immediate to build our tiny house, but the goal was to learn to live a more simplified life now so that we were financially more stable later down the road. Sinking that money into a big house would have done nothing to facilitate that PLUS it wouldn't have addressed the other reason we went tiny, and that was to be an advocate for the entire movement!…We decided that even if we couldn't live in our tiny house right away, we could use it to spread the word about the tiny house movement. Exposure and education was the key to changing regulations and giving the tiny house movement the foot-in-the-door it needed to be legal so that the people who did truly need dwelling options that were more affordable would have access to them.
Our situation is slightly different in that we DO live in our tiny house full-time. But the goal and desire to push forward the acceptance of the tiny house movement as a whole really resonated with me.
Ultimately, what I'm trying to get at is that not everyone in the tiny house movement is looking for a cheap place to live. Some people are looking for simplicity/minimalism, some people are looking for mobility, some people are looking for a luxury they wouldn't be able to afford in a "big" house, and some are looking for something else all together. That doesn't make them unworthy of the tiny house movement, it doesn't mean they're soiling the movement or detracting from the movement. The movement isn't about money at all, it's about the freedom to live within your means, whatever those means are. And in my opinion, those who NEED the cheap housing also NEED the people who can afford to make fancy expensive tiny houses so that they can gain exposure and move the movement forward. This movement requires all types and we need to work together.
The tiny house world is a mixed bag. Sure, some people just want a very cheap home. But many to do not, and it takes those people too — lots of them — to make this work for all of us!. I don't want to get into too much detail here, but this is why I also disagree with some people's push to making tiny houses the next solution to affordable housing for the homeless. That is a great cause, but not necessarily the color to use when painting the future of the movement as a whole.
Thank you John and Sarah Murphy for sharing your viewpoint on tiny living! It's always encouraging to hear others with the similar motivations!
← Tiny House Inspiration: Visit to Vina's tiny house in Ojai!
Thanks for sharing this Alek, it's an important topic to address as we've noticed a lot of backlash and negativity directed toward any tiny house projects that cost over a certain arbitrary amount. I think the cost is secondary to the main virtues of the movement, which in my mind are to live simply, gain more freedom, and ultimately increase happiness.
While the standard figure for tiny house square footage might be less than 500 sf, there's no concrete answer to what a build should cost. Everyone's financial situation is different, and it's up to the individual to decide what they can afford. Honestly if someone who can afford a $500k house decides to go with a $100k tiny house instead, I think that says a lot about their integrity and values because they make a willing decision to live well below their means, financially speaking.

This Moment had passed away two days ago. I had never personally met Alan, but he stopped by here regularly and I visited his site daily until he stopped posting regularly.
When I first cited this Thomas Hardy poem I said that I would be happy if my grandchildren remembered me this way.
"He was a man who used to notice such things"?
But he could do little for them; and now he is gone"?
"He was one who had an eye for such mysteries"?
"He hears it not now, but used to notice such things"?
Loren, what a beautiful tribute. Amen.
That is one of my favourite poems. I did not know Alan's blog, but I have looked at it just now, and am profoundly moved.
I had never read him either, Loren, but now I will.
The White-Crowned Sparrow and "Afterwards." A moving tribute to Alan and This Moment, loren.
I found your blog, which is giving me so much pleasure, via 'This Moment', which I only discovered this very week. I'm sorry I was so late.
That's a beautiful poem and, seemingly, a fitting tribute.
I'm in tears…I hadn't read his blog before and am so sorry to hear he is gone. The poem and picture are a beautiful tribute to him.


Lighting: Large Octagonal soft box & a small gridded spot.
Awesome, looks like she is wearing a real flower. Lovely flow and movement in the dress.
Love the way you have captured this photo.
The background is perfect with the red dress, lighting just right.
Love the simplicity and contrast! Beautiful!
love the style, love the lights. Great work!
So beautiful, the dress is like a rose blooming!
Another beautiful image Peter. Wonderfully lit and posed and the grey/red combo is striking. I've shot with a lot of cameras but I find the Hasselblad's true color and skin tones to be above the rest. This is yet another example of that making the image both artistically and technically stunning.

Q: Excel Reports By Date with PivotTable I have a table with data that runs through the year. It's a record of sales.
I would like to have some sort of report that I can print off for clients or
vendors or whatever.
I like the pivot table concept, but I can't seem to filter by date and show the date in the resulting report. It seems odd to me that you cannot, say input
a date range and return a report that has all the entries within the range with
the date of the entry next to them.
To be clear, the question is: Is there a way to have a PivotTable filter by date and also show the date in the report?

A: It is possible to filter on a field and have field show up in the pivot table as well.

*

*The first suggestion is You will find out that even a column only appear in the Row Label, you will see a small button besides the Cell "Row Labels", which is actually a filter.

*Drag and Drop desired field to FILTERS group. Rename Field Name (can add a blank space to the end) Then, drag and drop same field to the other desired location, example VALUES.
You'll see it is retained in the filter set.

*The other option is to insert a slicer. More a graphic filter that might work well for you.


San Antonio Spurs Star MANU GINOBILI Announces His Retirement - MYX | YOUR CHOICE. YOUR MUSIC.
It's a sad day for die-hard NBA fans. Manu Ginobili of the San Antonio Spurs just announced his retirement from professional basketball.
According to reports, Manu has been contemplating retirement for quite sometime and the Spurs were well aware of his plans. The 41-year old player was even given time to reconsider but he ultimately went with his decision to finally hang up his jersey.
Fans and colleagues of the Spurs star took to Twitter to pay tribute to arguably one of the best players in the game. The hashtag #GraciasManu even trended worldwide.
A seasoned veteran, Ginobili started his career playing for Italy and his home country of Argentina before finally getting drafted in 2002 by the San Antonio Spurs where he spent his entire NBA career. His professional baskteball career lasted 23 years, bringing him numerous accolades including a championship and MVP title for EuroLeague in 2001, multiple finals championships under the Spurs banner, two All-Star titles, and more.

International Economy, The
The Secrets To Washington's Power Game
Jeffrey H Birnbaum
Lobbying for Washington policymakers is no longer just an inside game.
A favorite metaphor for the official happenings in Washington, D.C., is "inside the Beltway." This is usually a term of opprobrium. A lot of Americans think that nothing can go well or smoothly or fairly when it occurs "inside the Beltway." And they aren't entirely wrong. The U.S. system of government and politics is a Byzantine, insiders' game played, for the most part, in the District of Columbia and its suburbs, which are circumscribed by a highway numbered 495 and called The Beltway.
How does the Beltway game work? That's not an easy question. No one person can describe or conquer it, that's for sure. Washington is a city filled with control freaks, which, by design, nobody can control. The federal government's internal checks and balances, in which one branch of government can block the others, insure frustration at every turn. On top of that, the post-World War II Washington is so large and unwieldy that just keeping track of the place, let along trying to harness it, is nearly impossible. Foreign countries and non-U.S.-based corporations feel especially outside the loop.
Fortune magazine, my employer, has been trying to make sense of the mess for the last four years. We have conducted a poll of D.C. power players–members of Congress, White House staffers, professional lobbyists and the like–to find out what groups have the most clout in the capital and why. The results have been eye opening. Taken together, the results serve as a kind of primer on how–and how NOT–to deal with Washington. What follows is a synopsis of our ongoing study.
The most important conclusion is that the whole notion of "inside the Beltway" is misleading. The part of the country with the real juice is outside, not inside, the Beltway. Government action (or inaction) reflects more what actual voters want than is the common perception. Indeed, the best way to manipulate legislation is by mobilizing blocs of voters, not by, buying access to politicians with campaign contributions. This is truer now than ever thanks to low voter turnout. Smaller voter blocs make a bigger difference to elected officials because so few people go to the polls (barely half of those eligible in 2000).
When Fortune asked Washington's insiders what compelled lawmakers to vote for or against legislation, the answer was this: the views that voters communicated to their elected representatives. Campaign donations had their influence, of course. But the opinions of voters mattered more. And voters who said they were willing to vote their convictions on certain issues were the people who carried the most weight. In other words, Washington still operates much like it was designed, from the bottom up rather than the top down.
This isn't a Pollyanna-ish point. D.C.-based lobbyists spend much of their day figuring out ways to get voters to do their bidding. A favorite method is to set up phone banks and call into key congressional districts and states to create a flood of phone calls and letters from voters to their congressmen. In the parlance of the craft, this is grassroots lobbying. In fact, it's Astroturf lobbying because of its obviously artificial nature. But it works. Creating and activating networks of lobbyists-for-a-day is what the modern lobbying industry is all about. (In the alternative, interest groups set up websites and send out e-mails to accomplish the same task.)
These days, pressure groups are valued more for the votes they can deliver than the dollars they can raise. Most of the Fortune survey's top interest organizations, known as the Power 25, have large numbers of geographically dispersed and politically active members who focus their energies on a narrow range of issues. In other words, they know their convictions and vote them. That kind of commitment can mean the difference between victory and defeat in close elections, which translates into heft on the legislative front. In 1997, for instance, fully half of the top ten groups in the Fortune poll got there on the strength of their long-established Astroturf networks. These kings of the town hall meeting were the American Association of Retired Persons; the National Federation of Independent Business, better known as the small-business lobby; the National Rifle Association (which is the current No. 1 on the list); the Christian Coalition (since fallen from the list); and the National Right to Life Committee, the anti-abortion group. Which isn't to say that money doesn't talk at all anymore. The AFL-CIO, for example, garnered great grades for both its grassroots and its campaign fundraising. And three of the top ten groups owed their high rankings to their substantial campaign contributions: the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, and the American Medical Association. The poll results every year has provided similar proportions.
Lobbying was once a secretive art. But with the new emphasis on persuading voters and not just lawmakers, that has changed substantially. The capital's mightiest lobbyists aren't shadowy creatures who shun the spotlight anymore. Many are among the nation's best-known public servants who until recently were Sunday talk-show regulars, and in some cases still are. The top ten of Fortune's list of lobbying companies is peppered with recently departed leaders of Congress and the political parties.
These include the new No. 1 firm, Barbour Griffith & Rogers, which is headed by Haley Barbour, who chaired the Republican National Committee at the moment of the party's greatest glory, November 1994, when the GOP won control of the U.S. House of Representatives. Another perfect example is a former No. 1 firm, Verner Liipfert Bernhard McPherson & Hand, which acquired such marquee partners as ex-Senate Majority Leaders Bob Dole (who also was the 1996 Republican presidential nominee) and George Mitchell. Principals in the other top-ranked firms include ex-Senate Majority Leader and new ambassador to Japan Howard Baker of Baker Donelson Bearman & Caldwell, ex-White House Chief of Staff Ken Duberstein of the Duberstein Group, and Tom Boggs–son of an ex-House Majority Leader–of Patton Boggs.
As these names suggest, a lobbyist nowadays is as much a general as an infantryman. Sure, the ability to get a phone call returned is vital in the throes of battle. But many former insiders are valued as much for their strategic advice as for their door-opening skills. In effect, they manage entire persuasion campaigns, which include access lobbyists in Washington, Astroturf lobbyists at home, publicists for free media, advertisers for paid commercials, and scholars to shape the arguments.
But that's not all. The cutting edge of lobbying cleverness can be glimpsed in West Palm Beach, Fla. There, Richard Pinsky, a former GOP campaign operative, worked as a political detective. His job: to locate and bring into the lobbying fold people who know lawmakers personally. On assignment from lobbying firms based in Washington, Pinsky is paid to find key individuals close to lawmakers who are undecided on the legislation of the moment. He then ferrets out which of these confidants are willing to make the case to Sen. X or Congressman Y. In the argot of the multi-billion-dollar influence industry, Pinsky is doing grasstops–as opposed to grassroots–lobbying, since he avoids hoi polloi and zeroes in on those few people whom lawmakers know and whose opinions they trust. The beauty of this tactic is that the lawmakers rarely know they've been lobbied. That's why it works so well.
But the most impressive–and most instructive–lobbying in years came in 1998 from a little-known organization that represents America's twelve thousand credit unions. The Credit Union National Association ranked a mediocre No. 70 in the Power 25 in 1997. But it leaped to No. 8 the next year after it persuaded Congress to overturn a Supreme Court decision that would have sharply curtailed credit unions' growth. In the process it trounced its richer and larger archrival, the American Bankers Association.
To accomplish this legislative feat, the credit unions' trade association had to awaken a sleeping giant–its members' customer base. For many years credit unions flew below congressional radar. But when the Supreme Court threatened to prohibit them from expanding to cover larger groups of employees, it flew into action. It decided to unleash its most effective lobbying tool: the seventy-four million people who bank at credit unions. It took some money (about $7 million a year) and careful preparation (a dozen regional coordinators and lots of members' meetings). But the result was the biggest avalanche of phone calls and letters that many veteran lawmakers could ever recall. When the Senate Banking Committee chairman wanted a couple hundred credit union members to visit the Capitol to help him push the credit union's bill, six thousand people showed up from all fifty states. "The credit unions showed they can generate a massive level of grassroots support" said Ed Yingling, chief lobbyist for the American Bankers Association. "There was nothing you could do." That's how things REALLY work inside the Beltway.

Holocaust-Denier to Give Speech in West Palm
Thomas Francis October 26, 2009 10:13AM
Tonight at 7, at a still undisclosed location in West Palm Beach, British author David Irving, much loved among white nationalists, will be giving a speech on Nazi history and signing copies of his book, Banged Up: Survival as a Political Prisoner in the 21st Century Europe.
Seems that Irving is keeping the exact location a secret as a way to avoid the political demonstrations that marked his recent appearance in Portland, where he and his supporters' efforts weren't quite devious enough.
Nick, a would-be protester in West Palm, tipped off Juice on Friday to Irving's appearance. "Unfortunately we haven't found out where Irving will be speaking," he said today. "We've called just about every hotel in the city, without any luck."
"The event is billed as a 'dinner,'" Nick continued, "So maybe it's being held at a local restaurant? There are people ready to protest if we discover anything today."
A Holocaust denier, Irving probably chose West Palm based on the city being the home base of Stormfront.org, where posters swap notes about his appearances.
