Oh my gosh! These vegan chocolate chip cookies are AMAZING! My son rated them a whopping 11 out of 10!
They have no eggs or dairy and are without a doubt one of the best cookies I have ever tasted.
My taste buds were definitely doing a happy dance as I was eating these.
If you're looking for a quick and easy choc chip cookie recipe, then this is it. YUM!
First of all add your dry ingredients excluding salt & chocolate to your mixing bowl, then mix together. Now is a good time to get your oven on and set to 175 degrees C or 350 degrees F.
For the next stage add your dates, vanilla extract, celtic sea salt and rice milk to a blender and blend till smooth.
Now add the blended mixture and chocolate to the dry ingredient and mix thoroughly.
Use an ice-cream scoop or suitable spoon to place evenly place dollops of cooking dough on your lined baking tray.
Pop your cookies in the oven for approximately 12 minutes or until golden brown.
Leave the cookies to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to the hungry hordes!
Just made them and tagged you on Instagram Kids (7 & 9) loved them. Nice to find a butter free cookie recipe. My mix was wetter as we used spelt flour. Now the kids want scones (what Aussies know as scones)…help Anja's!
Ahh, I had a similar issue! I ended up adding some extra flour, but still were cakey. Yummy tho!
Next time I'll remember to change to US weights / measures.
Does the Chocolate have oil in it?
It does have cocoa butter.
Best oil-free, nut-free cookie ever…. when the cookie is that low in fat, you feel a lot less guilty indulging in some chocolate chips. Thank you for sharing your fantastic recipe.
I'm in Australia and I like Sweet Williams, Lindt dark chocolate and Vego.
Oh my goodness! I made these last night. I am not vegan but my husband is. These are honestly the best cookies I have ever tasted. I have tried to perfect a vegan oatmeal raisin cookie, but it in no way can match these. Seriously fab! Thank you for such great recipes!

How we are transforming community mental healthcare across North Central London
Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust sent this bulletin at 04-03-2022 12:56 PM GMT
In the community for the community
Better mental health care for Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey and Islington
See how we are meeting needs identified in our Community Mental Health Summit
Our first Community Mental Health Summit in November had more than 200 attendees
Our transformation of community mental health services in North Central London is being driven by the needs of the people who live in the area, our service users and their carers.
At our first Community Mental Health Summit, held in November, attendees put forward more than 100 suggestions for change, including more holistic care, closer to home, with more staff, increased training and a greater focus on prevention. We examined the feedback and suggestions in detail and broke them down into different themes.
Our full report, which you can see here, lists the themes, shows how we have rated them according to how far we are meeting those needs, and outlines how we are using your suggestions to inform our future planning. It is encouraging that most of the suggestions raised were areas we have been working on, and they are either on track or have started making progress.
However, we are not complacent and we want to check back with people in the community to ensure that the changes are having the desired effect, and see whether any other needs have arisen.
NCL Community Transformation Programme Lead, Darren Summers, said: "It is very important to us that we work with people in the area that we serve to ensure we are delivering the services and the help that they want and need. The summit helped to identify what people want to change and I'm very pleased that we're going in the right direction. We are determined to keep up the dialogue with service users and the wider community to make sure that continues as the programme develops."
The summit was open to all. It had to be held online because of COVID restrictions, but we also opened a drop-in session live at St Ann's hospital for anyone who preferred to attend in person. More than 200 people attended and were divided into online breakout rooms to discuss ideas in small groups, which were facilitated by experts-by-experience.
Complete lists of ideas and comments were published in full - see details here.
We aim to hold another summit to report on the progress of the programme and gather your feedback to inform our plans.
Find out more detail about how we are transforming mental health care in your area on the C&I website and the BEH website.
How Age UK is working with us to transform community mental healthcare
Age UK is one of our many partners helping to improve mental healthcare for everyone in our communities, offering a wide range of services and helping find the right pathways for people in need.
The charity is working alongside statutory services, complementing the work that they do, aiming at early intervention and prevention.
Age UK Islington also offers a helpline, advice, activities and support to help people be happy, healthy and socially-connected; as well as services to help them plan for emergencies or end of life. They provide support for adults of all ages (16 yrs+).
Care coordinating and social prescribing are among many services offered and the charity has recently appointed four new care coordinators to work closely with people who require help, discovering their needs, introducing them to the right services that and working with them to overcome any barriers there may be to accessing care and support.
Age UK Islington's Head of Services, Personalised Care & Support, Michael O'Dwyer, (pictured below), explained that this is part of a combined approach, offering people much more than medical support: "Our care co-ordinators will explore what someone wants to achieve and what issues they're facing. It may involve referring to the wider support available via Age UK Islington, the core mental health team or support from community organisations. It may be may be helping someone to engage with support that's available for managing debt, or if they have mobility issues, to find transport options to help them get out and about, or a mindfulness group for techniques to help reduce anxiety."
He said social prescribing has grown significantly in recent years, but Age UK Islington does much more than signpost people to a service. Social prescribers assess whether each service is suitable for their client and meets their individual needs, which could be a disability or a language issue or helping them to build the confidence to seek and engage with help.
Michael said: "'There's nothing worse than sending somebody along to a session and actually they get really discouraged because it wasn't really welcoming, or it wasn't meeting when or where we said it was. If we can pre-empt a lot and ensure it ticks a lot of the boxes and help somebody to engage, it's much better for them and much better for the activity providers."

Hestia's new crisis service in Camden
As part of our programme transforming community mental healthcare across North Central London we are working with Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise organisations to offer holistic services to people in Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey and Islington.
One of our VCSE partners is Hestia, which helps people in crisis across the capital, including victims of modern slavery, women and children who have experienced domestic abuse, young care leavers and older people.
Hestia has recently opened a new service in Camden to offer open access mental health support.
The Sanctuary in Camden is a safe place that is open to any residents who are experiencing a mental health crisis. Service users can turn up, with no appointment needed and access immediate support.
Hestia has launched a new open-access service for residents who are experiencing a mental health crisis. Service users can turn up, with no appointment needed and access immediate support.
Sanctuary, in Camden, is a safe place for people in mental health crisis to access support. Hestia hopes it will reduce the pressure on local emergency departments by offering an alternative space for those who need immediate help.
Staff there will offer short-term support, working with people to reduce their immediate anxiety and stress, creating a personal safety plan to manage their mental health, and signposting them to other services that may be helpful. Additionally, service users can attend Sanctuary as a place to relax, play games and participate in group activities, or as a place to sit alone and destress, with a drink or snack.
A'ishah Abbasi, Area Manager for Hestia's alternative mental health services said: "As we emerge from the global pandemic, there is a substantial need for accessible mental health support. Yet there is a growing demand, and with mounting waitlists, we are concerned people won't get help in time.
"That's why we are proud to open Hestia's new Camden Crisis Sanctuary to offer an alternative space for people to access free specialist support in the community. The service requires no appointments, and it hopes to reduce the pressure on local emergency departments to allow more contact time with those in crisis."
A'ishah (pictured above) added: "Camden Crisis Sanctuary is open in the evenings, weekends and bank holidays when other services may be closed. We want residents in Camden to know we are available when they need us."
Sanctuary is open access and people just turn up any time 5pm -10:30pm, every day, 365 days a year. If you are a professional who wishes to refer someone to Camden Crisis Sanctuary, please download the referral form here.

All in a day's work - introducing you to people playing key roles in our transformation programme
As Head of Nursing for Safe Quality Care, Evri Anagnostara has a major role in the NCL Community Transformation Programme. Evri, who has recently been confirmed in the post but has been doing it since July 2020 on an interim basis, is supporting a number of key initiatives within the Nursing Directorate, including the introduction of DIALOG+.
Here she explains what she wants to achieve in the programme and how she thinks it will help service users, carers and the wider north London community
"In recent weeks, I have been working with the teams to roll out DIALOG+ which is a major change for the Trust that will revolutionise the way we support everyone who uses our services. I am extremely proud to work with colleagues in our wider community to design services which align to the needs of our population. DIALOG+ as a care planning tool, brings all of us together to work with our service users.
"We have developed a comprehensive training package for staff to use DIALOG+, which is co-produced and includes a variety of modules, including co-production and how to work with people in a trauma informed approach. We are also using technology which will allow our staff to work with people remotely; service users could receive care in their own home, away from hospital sites which can be daunting for some.
"I believe DIALOG+ will have enormous benefits for our service users because it brings together all the principles of co-production and person-centred care in a structured way, giving people total empowerment and autonomy to seek support in areas of their lives that matter most to them.
"As a trained QI Coach, I always want to show how improvement methodology can be used to drive change and improve outcomes for both patients, their family and friends and our staff. I do this by leading our Trust's Brilliant Basic strategic workstream looking at care planning and risk assessments. Naturally, DIALOG+ has a major part in it, being a care planning model, which will eventually replace our current care planning modules which is solely based on Care Planning Approach (CPA principles)."
Evri is also a Trust-nominated Patient Safety Specialist; she sits on the editorial board of the Mental Health Nursing Journal and is the current chair of the Mental Health Nurses' Association.
Helping experts by experience to shape our services
Freddy Semanshia is an Expert by Experience (EbE) who has been working with the Patient Experience team at BEH to develop the service user groups and the Trust EbE infrastructure so that there is greater co-production and engagement in our services.
He is also an EbE Coordinator and is on the MaST and DIALOG+ steering groups. He explains why he got involved:
"When I joined the BEH Patient Experience Team it was an amazing opportunity to have a bigger impact on service users.
"I love my role as EbE Coordinator because I can use my skills and abilities to strategically allocate opportunities for individuals who I know will excel in a particular role.
"The most rewarding part of my work is engaging with service users and management and bridging the gap between the two.
"Encouraging some EbEs to take part in certain roles can be challenging, and so can explaining NHS jargon to them. But the individuals who accept challenging roles really make my role worth doing."

At a time when our knowledge and understanding of health and safety at work is at its highest, statistics show that ongoing improvements in accident rates and time taken off work due to injury and ill-health are stagnating. Alongside the fact that around 80% of accidents can be attributed to human error, there is also increasing concern that modern-world issues of men-tal and physical wellbeing are undermining recent gains made ensuring the safety of people at work.
By applying the principles of marginal gain and using lessons drawn from the high-risk world of outdoor adventure and high level sport, this book provides a variety of practical solutions and seeks to reduce the incidence of human error in the workplace and the number of accidents and near-misses. The concept of Free Thinking Hazard Identification is introduced alongside the importance of managing changing circumstances and minimising the frequently underes-timated risk to experienced workers. A range of practical recommendations are also made to help reduce time taken off work due to injury or ill-health, through managing fitness, diet and health and paying attention to mental wellbeing.

Petrol prices keep up inflation
Soaring mineral oil prices have led to a two per cent year on year inflation rise, it has been reported.State agency Statistik Austria said today (Tues) that the October inflation rate would have reached just 1.4 per cent had mineral oil products like car fuel not become 15 per cent more expensive compared to the same month of 2009.Month on month inflation in Austria rose by just 0.2 per cent, while the average inflation rate in the European Union's (EU) 16 Eurozone countries reached 1.9 per cent last month, up by 0.4 per cent compared to September 2010.Prices in the EU's 27 members rose by 2.3 per cent year on year and by 0.3 per cent from September of this year to the following month.Austrian researchers registered a 22 per cent year on year increase of heating oil prices last month, while energy was just one per cent more expensive. The price of gas edged down by one per cent at the same time. These developments meant household energy became 3.8 per cent more costly.Maintenance and repair costs for cars declined by four per cent year on year, while the average price for new cars dropped by two per cent. Around 4.4 million cars were registered in Austria last year, up by around two per cent compared to 2008 figures.Flight tickets cost nine per cent less last month than in October 2009. This may change next year when a tax on tickets for all flights departing from Austria comes into effect. The Austrian government coalition of Social Democrats (SPÖ) and People's Party (ÖVP) said recently tickets will be charged with eight to 35 Euros from April, depending on the destination. Airline bosses warned they planned to pass on any extra costs to customers.The October inflation figures also show that jewellery and watches cost 17 per cent more year on year just as Austrians start doing their Christmas shopping. Research among residents of Austrian capital Vienna has shown that people planned to spend an average 360 Euros on gifts, around 10 Euros more than ahead of last Christmas.Foodstuff was 1.8 per cent more expensive last month than in October 2009. Especially the prices for vegetables (nine per cent) and fruit (eight per cent) soared.

Revolut users can now pay for stuff using Apple Pay
11 Jun 20193.24k Views

Ireland is among 16 countries where Revolut users can now pay for goods using Apple Pay.
Prominent mobile challenger bank Revolut has added another string to its bow by tapping into other payment options outside of its blue debit card. The UK-based fintech revealed today (11 June) that customers can now link Apple Pay with their Revolut account.
In doing so, account holders can pay in stores, through the app and online via Apple devices. Ireland is one of the 16 countries that will now have the option of paying with Apple Pay. The remaining nations are: the UK, France, Poland, Germany, Czech Republic, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, Austria, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Iceland.
With Apple Pay, card numbers are not stored on the device or on Apple servers. Instead, a unique device account number is assigned, encrypted and stored in the secure element on your device, and each transaction is authorised with a one-time unique dynamic security code.
"Revolut's ultimate goal is to give our customers a useful tool to manage every aspect of their financial lives, and the ability to make payments quickly, conveniently and securely is vital to achieving this," said the company's product owner for card payments, Arthur Johanet.
"Our customers have been requesting Apple Pay for a long time, so we are delighted to kick off our roll-out, starting with our customers in 16 markets. This is a very positive step forward in enabling our customers to use their money in the way that they want to."
It comes not long after Revolut launched its Group Vaults feature, tipped by the start-up as a hassle-free alternative to creating a joint account. The feature allows multiple users to set aside money for a shared goal, be it a holiday, group gift or household bill.
On the corporate side, Revolut still denies it will lose its European banking licence over allegations made last April that its chief executive, Nikolay Storonsky, has ties to the Kremlin in Russia.

North Korea Threatens to Vaporize Manhattan in Response to Joint Exercises
© AFP 2019 / JUNG YEON-JE
North Korea claims to be in possession of a hydrogen bomb that could vaporize Manhattan, should it be launched on an intercontinental ballistic missile.
Russia Will Work to Persuade N Korea to Return to Negotiating Table
According to North Korean news agency DPRK Today, North Korea claims to possess all the technology needed to commit a successful launch in case of offensive actions taken by South Korea and the US, currently conducting joint military exercises on South Korean territory.
"Our hydrogen bomb is much bigger than the one developed by the Soviet Union… If this H-bomb were to be mounted on an intercontinental ballistic missile and fall on Manhattan in New York City, all the people there would be killed immediately, and the city would burn down to ashes," DPRK Today reported.
Military and scientific experts, however, have doubts that North Korea in fact has the capacity to launch a missile that would reach the East Coast. The very possession of a hydrogen bomb by the nation still remains unconfirmed and controversial.
The current turn of in international tension started January 6th when North Korea conducted its 4th underground nuclear test, followed by a missile launch in February. The US imposed a new set of sanctions as a response, and later joined South Korea, New Zealand and Australia in a massive military exercise, imitating storming North Korean beach defenses.

A few weeks ago, I wrote that Calumet was holding classes at most of its US stores for Capture One 5. Not only does the $49 fee include a live training class, but it also includes a FREE license for the standard version of Capture One 5 (also known as LE). I took the NYC class last week and found it very helpful.
For the most part, if you have used Lightroom or even Adobe Capture Raw (ACR), you will be able to work your way through the Capture One workflow. The BIG difference is Capture One 5 does a significantly better job at processing Canon 7D Raw files than ACR. As I have stated before, I have given-up on ACR and moved on to Capture One 5 Pro.
Phase One also has some great online videos to walk you through all of the options and features. But, the one thing I could not figure out was how-to-sync multiple photos like in ACR. Thanks to the class, I now know how.
Capture One 5 "records" all adjustments to a photo on the Adjustments Clipboard. Once you have the settings complete, you can simply copy and apply the settings to another image or selected group of images. You can even save these settings as a style for use in a future session. Really simple once you understand the terminology.
If you are interested in learning the new version of Capture One 5, the Calumet class is a great opportunity. The class is actually taught by one of Phase One's Technical Support Engineers, so it is a great way to get answers and work through workflow issues. The free license for LE is great too.


We had a beautiful morning for Cindy & Mike's engagement session!
We toured the beautiful campus of Rutgers University for Cindy and Mike's Engagement Session – it was a beautiful spring morning and the landscape was in it's full spring glory. We've been looking forward to photographing Cindy and Mike since we sat down with them. They're incredibly happy, fun and, most of all, in-love. What more could you ask for! We loved hearing about the plans for their big day which is fast approaching and we're looking forward to capturing more special moments between these two!
We grabbed a quick and delicious lunch at the famous RU Hungry food trucks and after Cindy and Mike fed some leftover bread to the ducks in Passion puddle. We can't wait for their wedding in August – it's going to be an amazing day filled with so many more sweet moments!
We sure do have a lot of fun on Facebook and Instagram! Come join us!

GE Foundation Supports Expansion Of Safe Surgery 2020 Into Southeast Asia
Sep 28, 2018 by GE Reports Staff
GE Foundation announced its final piece of the $25 million commitment to global safe surgery by supporting the expansion of Safe Surgery 2020 into Southeast Asia, with the inclusion of Cambodia and Lao People's Democratic Republic. The investment plays a vital role into accelerating access to surgical care in Southeast Asia as the region has one of the lowest levels of surgical provision in the world, with 97% of people currently unable to access safe surgical care.
Held at the 73rd Session of the United Nations General Assembly, GE Foundation officially partnered with Cambodia's Ministry of Health to strengthen surgical systems through Safe Surgery 2020's programs on workforce development and targeted innovations and equipment support. Safe Surgery 2020 will collaborate with Calmette Hospital and the University of Health Sciences to develop a training hub that will develop the surgical workforce.
Seated on the left is Alex Dimitrief, Senior Vice President of GE and President & CEO, Global Growth Organization, and on the right is H.E. Ouch Borith, Secretary of State of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"Safe Surgery 2020 is strengthening the foundations of the surgical system so that essential surgical care will become safe and accessible. The initiative will focus on building the capacity of Cambodian institutions to continue transforming surgical care long into the future," said Ann R. Klee, President, GE Foundation. "The Cambodian government is committed to improving quality and increasing access to health care in the country, and GE Foundation is pleased to be collaborating with the Ministry of Health to advance surgical care."
Standing in the center from left to right: Alex Dimitrief, Senior Vice President of GE and President & CEO, Global Growth Organization; John Rice, former Vice Chair of GE; and Prime Minister Hun Sen, Prime Minister of Cambodia.
Safe Surgery 2020 was established in 2015 with the goal of reducing preventable deaths and accelerating access to safe surgery and anaesthesia worldwide. Safe Surgery 2020's key objectives are:
Impact: Reduce preventable deaths from surgically-treatable conditions by enhancing quality of care and increasing the surgical volume in Safe Surgery 2020-supported facilities;
Innovation: Introduce and test innovative models for implementation in global health; and
Scale: Build and strengthen sustainable ecosystems for essential and emergency surgery in low-resource areas.
Seated is H.E. Ouch Borith, Secretary of State of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
GE Foundation's investment in surgery in Southeast Asia builds on over ten years of work in the region to improve underserved and rural communities' access to quality healthcare. Over that time, GE and GE Foundation has provided $12 million in funding to bring in modern medical equipment, develop an in-country biomedical engineering equipment technician training program (BMET) in collaboration with Duke University and Engineering World Health, and increase access to safe water by sponsoring water purification systems with training for healthcare facilities. The programs have supported more than 40 hospitals in 25 provinces.

Some Carbondale stores balk at expanded bag ban
Plastic shopping bags in car trunk.
Carbondale is moving toward expanding the plastic bag ban to several retail stores, but several businesses are worried about the negative impacts.
"I hear from a lot of people that [the bag ban] is the reason they don't shop in Carbondale," said Don Boos, CEO of the Roaring Fork Co-op in Carbondale.
Boos, whose store would be affected if the expanded bag ban is passed, said he supports efforts to be environmentally friendly. But wishes there had been more time to develop a less-disruptive solution.
"Don't get me wrong, I want to do what's environmentally right, but we have to have a solution to take care of the customers that come in without penalizing them," Boos said.
The Carbondale Board of Trustees on July 23 advanced an amendment to the current bag ban, which applies only to the City Market, to include all retail stores of more than 9,000 square feet (SF).
The ordinance bans plastic take-out bags (not small in-store bags for vegetables, nuts and bolts, etc.), and places a 20-cent charge on paper bags.
Trustees are scheduled to vote on the final ordinance at their next scheduled regular meeting, on Aug. 13.
The town's environmental board contacted the stores that might be affected by the ban leading up to the July 23 meeting, and said only one store, NAPA Auto Parts, was strongly opposed.
Boos said he was unaware that anyone had contacted the Co-op about the expanded ban, and wished the town had communicated better.
Proponents of the expanded ban say that expanding the bag ban, which went into effect in 2012, was always in the plan.
"The early intention of that ban was that it would be applicable to all businesses in Carbondale. So it's a little challenging to think that people are surprised by it when it's been a discussion point for a very long time," said Carbondale Trustee Heather Henry.
The bag ban "in and of itself isn't going to make a big reduction in the plastic poisoning of our earth," but it would be a step in the right direction, Environmental Board member and former trustee Frosty Merriott said in a previous interview.
The 9,000 SF stipulation in the proposed bag ban — a change from the current ordinance — excludes NAPA, which is 8,000 SF and the most vocal opponent of the ban.
But the e-board still contacted NAPA store owner Ron Friemel on the day of the ban, in case the trustees wanted to keep the 3,500 SF requirements.
"When it comes to locally owned stores, there's a greater cost of doing business for all of us," Friemel said.
Friemel also said the town was moving haphazardly in imposing the ban, without looking at other options.
"If the city is going to pass these ordinances, they really should find a solution for all the stores in town," Friemel said.
He suggested moving to biodegradable bags, and potentially creating a co-op of local businesses to purchase the bags in bulk.
The other stores that would be affected are generally ready to implement the ban. Sopris Liqour and Wine already uses paper bags and doesn't offer plastic. ACE Hardware, right next to City Market, has been working on shifting to reusable bags for some time, and plans to do a bag giveaway in August to celebrate the shift to being a bag-less store.
"We've been ready to transfer over for some time. We're just getting rid of the bag stock we've had," ACE store Manager Anthony Apodaca said.

Parental education and inequalities in child mortality: a global systematic review and meta-analysis
The Lancet, Volume 398, Issue 10300, August 2021, Pages 608-620
This article addresses SDGs 3, 4, and 10 by quantifying the transgenerational importance of education for child survival, showing that lower maternal and paternal education are both risk factors for infant and child mortality. This comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis of data on 3,112,474 livebirths, from 92 countries, shows a strong association between increased parental education and lower childhood mortality (up to age 5 years). These findings provide a strong rationale to further promote efforts to provide universal quality education at all levels, tackle socioeconomic inequalities in health, and improve the health of future generations.

Rapid climate action is urgently necessary, but it poses risks to justice. Major justice risks relate to fossil fuel phase-out, increased resource use, distribution of economic impacts, human needs. To mitigate against this we need to be inclusive of diverse voices and able to deal with radical ideas. This paper outlines a way we can do this.

At the end of the tenancy, if the tenant has met the terms of the tenancy agreement, not caused any damage to the property and paid their rent and bills, you must return the deposit in full.
You can expect the property to be in a similar condition and state of cleanliness as it was at the start of the tenancy, taking into consideration normal wear and tear. For example, if a carpet is fraying or decoration looking tired, this is normally classed as wear and tear and is not your tenant's responsibility. For things like stains on the carpet or obvious malicious damage to the walls, you can reasonably request to withhold some or all of the deposit to cover costs of repair and cleaning. If necessary, you can also withhold some or all of the deposit to cover unpaid rent.
As your agent, we will help you come to an agreement with the tenant on the amount to be retained; if you choose to self-manage, you will have to do this yourself. Once an agreement has been reached, the deposit monies must be returned within the time stated by the government scheme you use, or if down to you, ideally within 10 days.
If you cannot come to an agreement, assuming it is an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) and the deposit is therefore protected in a government-approved deposit protection scheme, the tenant can turn to the scheme's free dispute resolution service for an independent decision. This saves you both having to go to court, which is expensive and time-consuming.
You and the tenant will both be asked to provide evidence to support your claims, which highlights the importance of good record-keeping and especially a detailed, independent inventory. In the case of damage to the property, you will need to prove it was caused by the tenant and not simply wear and tear.
At Hunters, we protect our tenants' deposits in one of the government approved schemes. For example, Deposit Protection Service, Tenancy Deposit Scheme or MyDeposits. More information can be found about them on the appropriate deposit websites e.g. www.mydeposits.co.uk.

Children's Theatre (Ages: 9–13)
Youth Section (Ages: 13–18)
Advance Theatre Company (Ages: 16+)
Dec 2000 at Leighton Buzzard Theatre
The Youth Section put on this classic musical with some memorable acting, fantastic singing and some amazing dances.
Review by Robin Hinton Brewer - NODA Area Representative:
Oklahoma! This is a big show and a long one too! It takes a tremendous amount of stamina for even an adult company to perform it with vigour for more than a couple of performances, so for a youth group to take the challenge may seem beyond them. LBCT took on the challenge and succeeded far beyond their dreams.
Over the years Sally Allsopp has pushed, cajoled, praised, but never bullied her company of youngsters into giving their best. This production showed off their talents well. Dialogue projection has continued to improve, every word clearly heard. Sally in blocking the scenes ensured we had plenty of good set pieces to watch. Her work with the company on their characters well developed, each member of the company was an individual character in their own right.
David Allsopp, as one has come to expect gave good support accompanying the musical numbers, never overpowering even the softest of voices on the stage. I was impressed by the rendition of "Kansas City" the company were confident and secure in their performance. The male chorus were extremely strong in "Its an outrage" better than some adult companies I have seen.
Over the past few years I have watched Eva Clarke perform several roles with confidence, her "Aunt Eller" was strong with a good accent. She continues to sing well and put over her songs well.
"Laurey" played by Amy Lynch was a fresh faced, nice looking character, with lots of confidence and a pleasing nature. Every word of dialogue was given its full value and her performance of the musical numbers bright. As the years go by her voice will develop, she has particular strength in her lower registers.
Alex Dempsey turned in a strong performance as the hero "Curly" he had a nice sense of bravado when talking to Laurey and his playing of the scene with Jud was particularly strong. Alex found the gentle comedy in the dialogue and sang his numbers with style.
Paul Nettleton shared the character of "Jud Fry" with Tim Mann. Tim gave a tremendous performance with great maturity - he was focused and his sense of timing superb.
Paul gave a brooding interpretation full of depth. Paul as the oldest member of the cast, was last seen playing a pompous sales twit- in Jud he showed a tremendous depth of character seldom seen in this role. I enjoyed his rendition of "Lonely Room" and hope he succeeds in his career and works full time in theatre.
Ryan Bandy gave us a gently comic performance as "Will Parker" his performance of "Kansas City" a delight and his dancing secure, He gave good support to his fellow players ensuring they were never upstaged by his performance but he made sure we knew he was onstage and having a great time.
As Wills girlfriend "Ado Annie", Louise Betley was having great fun, she relished every moment she was onstage and made sure she got over her comic lines with flair specially in "I Caint say no" and "All or nothing" with Ryan which was nicely stylish.
"Ali Hakim" is a comedy role that can be played so over the top it becomes a caricature, not here Matt Williams gave a strong performance which worked well, the audience laughed at his every joke and facial expression, well done Matt.
The outrageous laugh from Lauren Stanley, as "Gertie" was just that outrageous and well over the top just as it should be. This was a fun part given by a young actor full of confidence.
Sam Dunham gave a thoughtful performance as "Carnes", he became stronger as the performance went on, his playing of the court scene stylish and well thought through- congratulations.
In the cameo roles and as a chorus members the company all gave strong support to the major principals, this is one of the strengths of this society, it supports everyone be they on-stage, backstage or front of house, everyone believes in what they are doing and from this belief ensure that the audience has an entertaining evening out.
The costumes were bright and colourful - and the wearing of stage shoes added to the overall production.
Thank you for inviting me to Oklahoma!, I look forward to the next productions with eager anticipation.

Case C-78/18 | Commission v Hungary
(Compiler)
Cardiff EDC
News, Overview
Judgment from the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) on the restrictions imposed by Hungary on the financing of civil organisations from abroad.
Hungary adopted a law in June 2017 aimed at ensuring transparency in civil organisations (NGOs) that receive foreign funding. Under such law, these organisations must register with the national authorities as 'organisations in receipt of support from abroad' where the amount of the donations they received in a given year reaches a certain threshold. When registering, the organisations are also required to name the donors whose support reaches or exceeds HUF500,000 (approximately € 1 500) and the exact amount of the support. That information is later published on a free, publicly accessible e-platform. In addition, the civil organisations concerned must indicate on their homepages and in their publications that they are an 'organisation in receipt of support from abroad'.
In December 2017, the European Commission decided to refer Hungary to the CJEU for failure to fulfil obligations under EU law: infringement of the principle of free movement of capital, infringement of the right to respect for private life, to protection of personal data and to freedom of association.
On 14 January 2020, the CJEU's Advocate-General issued an Opinion which suggests that the Hungarian legislation at issue unduly restricts the free movement of capital, in that it includes provisions which amount to unjustified interference with the fundamental rights of respect for private life, protection of personal data and freedom of association protected by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.

Our set of Chambers was established in 1954 when Alan King-Hamilton moved his set to Lamb Building from 4 Temple Gardens, which was due to be demolished to make way for the new Middle Temple Library. At this time Lamb Building itself had just been rebuilt following it's complete destruction in the Second World War.
In 1964 Alan King-Hamilton was appointed a judge at the Old Bailey and Chambers merged with the Chambers of Stanislaus Seuffert a highly successful family silk from Goldsmith's Buildings under his headship. In 1975, after 50 years at the Bar, he retired and Leonard Krikler took over as head of chambers until his appointment as a Circuit Judge in 1984. Kenneth Wheeler was then head of chambers until 1996 when Ami Feder took over. Bernard Richmond QC then took the position from October 2013. The senior clerks over this period have been Maurice Berry, Stanley Mott, Martin Secrett, and currently Gary Goodger.
Over the doorway to Lamb Building there is a carved model of a lamb with staff. The lamb with halo and staff as religious symbol is know as "Agnus Dei" or Lamb of God. It is the adopted emblem of the Middle Temple and can be seen in many places around the Inn, including the 17th Century screen carrying the organ loft in Temple Church. There is a theory that the holy lamb was chosen as the emblem because it had originally been used by the Knights Templar whose arms were two knights mounted on one horse with a trotting Agnus Dei.
We believe that the lamb above our doorway also dates back to the 17th Century. Historical accounts of the building describe a lamb and flag "carved in wood and always kept well gilded". Although the building was completely destroyed by bombing in 1941, it is clear from photographs taken in the aftermath that the lamb itself survived intact. Until 1988 the lamb also had a halo but this came away sometime between 1988 and 1995.
The present day Lamb Building was built in 1954 as part of the reconstruction of the Middle Temple following its bombing during the Second World War. It is believed that our building and Pump Court stand on the site of the hall built by the Knights Templars back in the 12th century. The first building to be constructed on this site was converted into chambers in the late 16th century and was then pulled down and rebuilt in about 1639 with the new building being called Elm Court Building.
In 1678 a devastating fire destroyed several chambers from Vine Court (Cloisters) in the East to Middle Temple lane in the West, and from Fleet Street gate in the North to Middle Temple Hall in the South. Temple Church and Middle Temple Hall were saved by the use of explosives to destroy buildings including Elm Court Building in order to create a fire-break. Elm Court Building was not completely destroyed however in 1879 it had to be demolished and rebuilt due to its poor condition. The 1879 building survived until the Second World War when it was destroyed by bombs. It was rebuilt between 1952 and 1954 when it was renamed Lamb Building. The original Lamb Building was located in Lamb Court just to the South East of Temple Church in Lamb Court (known also as Cloisters Court) however bombs destroyed this in 1941. This building stood on the original burial ground of the Knights Templar and had been rebuilt after the Great Fire of 1666. There is a ground plaque showing the original position of this building.

New York City might lose its appeal for those dreaming of the big city. (Photo by Yonghyun Lee on Unsplash)
Thoughts x September 28, 2020
Because of COVID-19, NYC and LA Are Seeing Their Housing Problem Get Worse
People once flocked to these two big cities, but faced with the pandemic, job losses and increasing costs of living, residents are now fleeing these American metropolises.
By Abigail Adeleke, University of Miami
Moving boxes everywhere. Residents leaving in droves. The year 2020 has been chaotic for us all and it just got even crazier.
The Big Apple and the City of Angels are facing another challenge: a housing crisis. Los Angeles and New York City residents are moving out and moving out fast.
As many residents have lost their jobs, can no longer afford to live in their homes and want to avoid living on top of other people, the two biggest cities in the United States are in the mayhem.
Here is what has happened so far and what experts expect to happen next.
The Housing Situation
In March 2020, there was a 256% increase in residents leaving New York City compared to last year.
"Overall since March, more than 246,000 people have filed a change of address request. That's an almost 100% increase compared to the same time period in 2019," said an ABC news article.
After thousands of fellow New Yorkers died from COVID-19, NYC residents who have called the city home for many years made a getaway.
How Are Schools Keeping Students Safe Now That Winter Break Is Over?
In Los Angeles, homelessness has grown exponentially since the pandemic. In neighborhoods such as Venice Beach, rows of tents have visibly increased on once affluent residential streets.
According to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, the city has seen a 16.1% increase in homelessness to over 41,000 people.
As the residents moved out of their beloved homes, a new crisis emerged. Moving companies in New York City became so busy that they even turned people away.
Moon Salahie, owner of Elite Moving & Storing in Yonkers, has not stopped moving people out of their homes since NYC began Phase 1 of their reopening plan in June.
"People are fleeing the city in droves," said Salahie. "The least movement would be the Park Avenue and Fifth Avenue crowds. Those people don't have to leave because they have second homes."
So where exactly are renters and homeowners fleeing to and which cities need to gear up for a new influx of residents?
Where Are They Going?
New Yorkers fled for the suburbs, their childhood homes or anywhere they could find a place to rest their head. In the New York suburbs, prices increased as housing inventory decreased.
Amanda Saracano, a realtor with Keller Williams Realty Group, said that the demand began when people sought temporary housing away from the city, but many have since decided to remain away from it all.
"It's now just on steroids almost," Saracano said. "Rentals, rentals, rentals, all of the rentals were gone… and that quickly turned, once they disappeared, into sales."
According to the Hartford Courant, 16,000 New Yorkers changed their addresses to Connecticut from March through June.
United Van Lines and Mayflower Movers also reported that they have done 1,000 out-of-state moves from New York City since March. Twenty-eight percent of those moves have been to Florida and California and 16% have been to Texas and North Carolina.
For Angelenos, many of them have decided to move to Texas, including comedian Joe Rogan. The high-profile resident told Sky News that overcrowding, traffic and homelessness were the driving factors.
Moving companies in the LA area have also been working overtime. Moving companies in California in general have seen increased demand, particularly from people moving out of Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Mentorship Programs Can Help First-Generation College Students Stay on Track
What do residents have to say?
Many city residents reported that they felt incredibly unsafe and with NYC being the center of the pandemic at one point and Los Angeles currently being the epicenter hasn't helped much either.
New Yorker Jana Ernakovich moved to New Hampshire temporarily when the pandemic began.
"It was pretty surreal, and I feel like I absconded in the middle of the night because that's kind of what I did," Ernakovich said. "Back then, it was really scary and I just couldn't be there."
Casey Madden, a former New York City resident, decided to move in with her family in Long Island then later moved to Tampa, Florida, with her boyfriend.
"All of the things I loved about New York City kind of just disappeared because of COVID," said Madden.
However, she is hopeful that 2021 will bring new beginnings.
"We hope by the New Year, there will be clarity of what's going on and what state is safe to live in," Madden said.
BTS's New Single 'Life Goes On' Strikes a Somber but Hopeful Note
In Los Angeles, the story is similar.
Kerstin, a former LA resident, said in a post online: "We've just left LA and moved to Ojai because things in the city became unbearable for us."
The British expat wrote, "We have quite a few people in our circle of friends who are either leaving L.A. because of COVID or planning on it. Homelessness is out of control and the inequality that exists in the city is more visible than ever."
Many experts say that this housing crisis was inevitable. As homes and apartments increase in price and residents can no longer afford rent, the migration out of major cities has already begun.
However, the pandemic has magnified the housing problem.
Though this situation may not be permanent, the allure of a big city has begun to lose its luster for many individuals. Those who have lived in New York and Los Angeles for many years still see the attraction but "gentrifiers," as they are often called, are realizing that their beloved cities are no longer for them.

A person's accomplishments accumulate over years and decades. Something else accumulates, too — their poop.
The quantities of poop that people leave behind during an individual bathroom break can vary widely, depending on age, body weight, diet, exercise and other factors.
But how much poop does the average person produce in their lifetime? [The Poop on Pooping: 5 Misconceptions Explained]
Moving one's bowels is part of the normal digestive process for most animals; after nutrients are extracted from food and liquid, waste is eliminated as urine and feces. Human stool, when healthy, is usually made up of about 70-percent solids and 30-percent fluids, Kim Barrett, a professor of medicine at the University of California, San Diego, told Live Science. Personal bowel habits notwithstanding, on average, both men and women move their bowels about once per day and produce a daily average of 14 to 17 ounces (400 to 500 grams) of feces, Barrett said.
Researchers have even identified the speed at which humans generally produce their poo: about 0.8 inches (2 centimeters) per second, Live Science previously reported. Constipation — being unable to move one's bowels — can lead to longer, or more uncomfortable bathroom sessions. However, the amount of time a person typically dedicates to unobstructed defecation is about 12 seconds per stool, and is uniform across many animal species regardless of their size, according to David Hu, an associate professor of mechanical engineering and biology at the Georgia Institute of Technology and Patricia Yang, a Georgia Tech doctoral candidate in mechanical engineering.
The amount of poo produced by a single person starts to add up when you calculate poop production over years and decades.
Starting with an average daily amount of about 14 ounces (400 grams), the total poop production in a week's time would be about 6 lbs. (2.8 kilograms). In a year, a single person would yield about 320 lbs. (145 kg) of poop — just a little more than an adult panda weighs.
In the U.S., the average life expectancy for men is about 76 years old, and for women, it is around 81 years old. Therefore, a man living to age 76 would produce about 24,320 lbs. (11,030 kg) of poop over his lifetime, and a woman living to age 81 would produce about 25,920 lbs. (11,757 kg) — so a lifetime of a woman's poop weighs about as much as three adult male hippos.
India needs to clean up its act. Thank goodness it is illegal for foreigners to buy property there then! I bet Brock has a lot to say on this topic.

BJP leaders target minorities, contribute to vigilantism: UN human rights expert
The was said in a report prepared by a United Nations special rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance.
@Master are u familiar with this group, there is a lot of outcry against them
Not heard of them but Hindu extremists are around and continue with their caste system to oppress other minorities.
I figured that but this group seems to have some political clout.
Why you up at this time? You should be asleep.
I'm monitoring the internet for racism

Credit Risk Update: TIGER TAXIS LIMITED, CORNELIUS HOUSE, 178-180 CHURCH ROAD, HOVE, EAST SUSSEX, BN3 2DJ. The legal status is a Private Limited Company and the current status at the registry of companies is Active. The last filed accounts are dated 31 December 2017. The company was incorporated on 4 October 1990.


The KIT Renewable Energies Program focuses on bioenergy as well as on geothermal and concentrating solar thermal technologies.
In concentrating solar thermal power plants, sunlight is focused on absorbers by means of mirrors. The generated high-temperature heat can be stored thermally at high efficiencies and be used according to demand for energy generation and process engineering. KIT investigates the use of liquid metals as efficient high-temperature heat carrier media and develops the respective suitable structures and materials. Another focus of work is on direct energy conversion by means of AMTEC (Alkali Metal Thermal Energy Convertor).
R&D activities on bioenergy, among others, are in the focus of KIT's Renewable Energies Program. During conversion of lignocellulose-containing biomass such as straw or waste wood, thermochemical processes e.g., rapid pyrolysis or hydrothermal liquefaction, are applied to produce high-energy-density bio-oils, which after conditioning and upgrading can be fed into different fuel streams. For process scaling, KIT operates pilot plants e.g., the bioliq pilot plant for production of high-grade synthetic fuels of biogenic origin. In addition, microbiological methods are applied to e.g., convert synthesis gases into platform molecules. New biomasses such as microalgae are investigated in complete value-added chains. They are disintegrated particularly efficiently by electroporation.
In an interdisciplinary approach, KIT researches into central issues of deep geothermal energy for sustainable power generation and heat supply. Research activities are subdivided into clusters i.e., reservoir characterization and development, thermal water cycle, materials and geoprocesses, and power plant operation. Numerical simulation is a cross-cutting key competence topic.

Seven Ideas To Improve The Atmosphere Inside Rogers Arena
2 years ago | Stephan Roget
It shouldn't be news to anyone who regularly attends games at Rogers Arena that the building's atmosphere often lacks significant lustre. In this week's 31 Thoughts, Elliotte Friedman wrote that the Canucks organization have been tracking the results of a fan-surveyed "Fun Meter" after each home game for the past few years, and one can…
Comparing The Team's October 2018 Performance With That Of Past Octobers
October of 2018 has come and gone and the Vancouver Canucks have defied all odds—ending the month at the very top of the Pacific Division standings. Enthusiastic—if cautious—optimism is running rampant in Vancouver, with visions of playoff berths dancing in fans' heads. The hype is real, but it does raise the question of whether this…
Laying The Odds On The Next 'Ring Of Honour' Inductee
The Vancouver Canucks recently announced that Henrik and Daniel Sedin will have their jerseys retired during the 2019/20 season—a ceremony that will no doubt be the centerpiece of the celebration of the team's 50th year. One gets the feeling, however, that the anniversary season will contain a number of smaller-scale festivities, and the rather empty…
Nikita Tryamkin Struggling In KHL, Stripped Of Captaincy
At the beginning of the 2018/19 KHL season, Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg announced that the 24-year-old Nikita Tryamkin would be taking over as team captain. It was a presumably happy day for the defenseman-in-exile, but the news was considerably less well-received by the fanbase of the Vancouver Canucks. Many fans assumed that Avtomobilist making such a clear…
The (Underwhelming) Pros And (Considerable) Cons Of Moving The Utica Comets To Abbotsford
A couple of weeks ago, Vancouver Canucks owner Francesco Aquilini gave an interview to Sportsnet 650 that was mostly notable for his misconstrued comments on the Sam Gagner demotion. Obscured by that non-controversy, however, was a statement that was probably worthy of more attention by the Canucks faithful—a suggestion that the Canucks ownership group were…
Saturday's Game Against The Bruins Presents The Perfect Opportunity For A Statement On Team Culture
Seven games into the season, the Vancouver Canucks are off to a 4-3-0 start—nothing to write home about, but better than most were expecting. Still, over the past week ,the fanbase is aflame with controversy about the team's culture—its heart, its soul, its guts—or lack thereof. Few Canuck rosters in history have had their character…
Matheson's Hit On Pettersson Was Retaliation For Pettersson's Superior Skill–And Canuck Fans Should Be Very, Very Upset About It
There's a lot of emotion in the Vancouver Canucks fanbase right now, and it's no mystery as to why. Rookie superstar Elias Pettersson—the saviour of the franchise—was injured last night after receiving a stiff check and a veritable bodyslam from Michael Matheson of the Florida Panthers—and nothing happened in response to it. While Canuck fans…
Don't Worry, Sam Gagner Is Still Going To Be Traded
Alright, look. I get it. You don't have to say it. When a writer makes their debut on CanucksArmy with an article exploring the Trade Market for Sam Gagner, and a week later Sam Gagner clears waivers, it doesn't look great. GM Jim Benning even confirmed that he had shopped Gagner around the league and…
Trade Market: Steady Yet Fragile Blueline Stud Edition
The 2018/19 season is off to about as optimistic a start as the Vancouver Canucks could have hoped for, but there's every reason to believe that the good times won't last. Most prognosticators—and fans—predict that the Canucks are in for a tough season, and that means that discussion around the team will eventually shift toward…
Vancouver Canucks vs Calgary Flames Post Game Recap: Snap Back To Reality
The Rundown After a truly magical opening night, many in the Vancouver Canucks' fanbase were prepared for a bit of a comedown in Game 2. In fact, by the time Saturday rolled around, the optimism from earlier in the week seemed to have turned to outright dread—and not just due to the possibility of a…
The Likelihood Of Nikita Tryamkin Returning To The Vancouver Canucks, According To Nikita Tryamkin
Canuck fans were devastated when, in the opening days of the 2017 offseason, Nikita Tryamkin announced that he was leaving the team to return to the KHL. What seemed like a temporary sojourn to escape Willie Desjardins was soon revealed as a three-year commitment, which naturally led to fans questioning whether Tryamkin would ever return…
Brendan Gaunce: The Story Of A Perfectly Average Draft Pick
With his clearing of waivers on Saturday, it seems likely that Brendan Gaunce's NHL career has more-or-less come to an end. Sitting at 114 games in the big league, the former first round pick might seem like a bust, but the numbers paint a different picture. In actuality, Gaunce is a perfectly average representation of…

I wrote to all parents on 1st June 2018, welcoming Coppice to Central Learning Partnership Trust and expressed my delight at them joining our school improvement partnership with Heath Park and Moseley Park. I also explained that given the academy conversion date was in the middle of the external examination season, I was asking the interim headteacher to remain in post until the end of the academic year. I am pleased to say that all examinations have now been completed and I thank parents for supporting their children through what has been an exhausting experience and in particular pay huge tribute to the students themselves for their all their hard work and application. I hope upon hope that this is rewarded when examination results are published in August.
I am also delighted to inform you that we have moved to implement a new Executive Leadership Team for the new academic year. The model is different to that which has previously been in place at the school but it is one which we have very successfully deployed in our other schools. The team comprises myself, CEO of the trust, Mrs Georgetta Holloway, Executive Headteacher and two new appointees who will be permanently based at Coppice in the role of Heads of School: Miss Kush Bains and Mr Adrian McLean.

Many individuals do not know that there is a warrant out for their arrest until they receive a notice in the mail. Others do not find out until it is too late. If you are facing arrest and are uncertain about your ability to post bond, it is important that you speak with a criminal defense attorney that is knowledgeable about Connecticut bail bond laws before you are arrested.
The criminal defense lawyers at Berman & Russo, Attorneys at Law, assist individuals that are accused of or charged with a wide variety of crimes. However, our lawyers also have a great deal of experience dealing with the options available under the bail bond laws and procedures in Connecticut.
To discuss your bond options, call a criminal defense attorney at Berman & Russo today at (866) 761-8561.
A surety bail bond is basically an amount of money pledged by a bail bondsman so that the court will release a suspect from jail with the understanding and assumption that the suspect will return for trial or forfeit the bond.
Before turning yourself into police after receiving notice that there is a warrant for your arrest, we can advise you of your rights and options regarding the bond.
We will then contact the police department for information. They will tell us if a bond amount has been assigned by a judge. If it has been assigned, it means that the judge assigning the arrest warrant has decided how much the bond should be. This cannot be changed by the police, and can only be changed by a judge in court.
If a bond has not been assigned, the police will determine the amount of the bond when you turn yourself in. However, this can be an unpredictable situation, so you need to be prepared before you turn yourself in. That is why it is always in your best interests to seek the assistance of a lawyer before turning yourself in.
Contact a lawyer at Berman & Russo today to learn more about bail bond procedures and the services that we offer. Call us at (866) 761-8561 before turning yourself in.


Rhinopomatids are called mouse-tailed or long-tailed bats because of their long, free tail. They are the only microchiropteran bats with tails nearly as long as their head and body. The tail membrane is reduced and does not enclose the tail. These bats are small to medium-sized (head and body length of 5.0 to 9.0 cm). They are typically grey-brown to dark brown on their backs, but may be paler on their bellies.
Long-tailed bats have large, simple, cup-shaped ears joined at the base by a fleshy band across the forehead. There is a small tragus (fleshy ear outgrowth). There is also a fleshy ridge over the slit-like nostrils, but no noseleaf. The slit nostrils can be closed to exclude sand and dust. The sides of the muzzle are swollen. This can be seen on the skull as well as in live specimens. The palatal branch of the premaxillary is reduced and fused in the midline below the nasal opening. The skull lacks postorbital processes, and the auditory bullae are large. The dental formula is 1/2, 1/1, 1/2, 3/3 = 28 and the molars are dilambdodont.
These bats are primarily insectivorous. They may survive the winter, when fewer insects are available, by becoming torpid.
The family contains only 1 genus ( Rhinopoma) with 3 species. This family of bats is known from North and West Africa, the Middle East, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Thailand.
Rhinopomatids live in treeless arid regions and roost in caves, rock clefts, wells, houses, and pyramids. They are gregarious and colonial. One species ( R. microphyllum) has inhabited the Egyptian pyramids for at least 3000 years.
Rhinopomatids have no fossil record. They are sometimes considered to be the most primitive living microchiropterans, because of their free premaxillae, and the structure of their wings and thorax.

Q: Why does generating pdb files increase the size of my native C++ exe? Just by turning on Configuration Properties > Linker > Debugging > Generate Debug Info the size of my exe has increased from 2.11MB to 2.34MB

*

*What is that extra ~230KB being used for? I thought the exe should be roughly the same size (give or take an extra path to the pdb file) but not that much. Would there be any performance hit from this "bloat"?

*I've also seen Configuration Properties > C/C++ > General > Debug Information Format set to disabled in release mode while the pdb files are set to generate, is there any reason why this would be? From what I can tell the exe is the same size -  it's just the PDB that gets bigger when you enable Program Database, I can't see a problem with this but I want to make sure there isn't some piece that I'm missing considering Program Database is the default for new projects in the release configuration.

A: The increase of size of the executable is probably due to the compiler including code that would have otherwise be optimized away. Try linking with /OPT:REF, and see if that drops the size back to around what it was.
As for the performance hit, it should not be significant. The bloat might cause caching of code to be less efficient, but on most cases that would be neglectable.

A: The size of the EXE is likely utterly irrelevant to the performance.

A: Not just path to PDB file, but the "Debug" in executable's image header, internal GUID to ensure correct PDB file is loaded while debugging/crash-debugging.
