You'd be forgiven for thinking I'm having a bit of a love-in with Debenhams at the moment. I've featured their swimwear on here and written about how they are now stocking Elomi lingerie in selected stores, all in the past couple of weeks.
Well, if a retailer does good things, we should shout about it, right? Certainly people are often all too quick to criticise so I think it's crucial to make a big fuss when something good happens.
And Debenhams have a lot to celebrate at the moment, especially with their own brand 'Gorgeous' lingerie celebrating its 10th birthday this year!
I remember buying Gorgeous bras from Debenhams at Lakeside around what must have been the very early days of the brand's existence. I was amazed that they had their own brand of lingerie and was impressed with the construction of the bras. Furthermore, I was over the moon that I could buy almost any bra style I wanted (plunge, balcony, push up) in my size at the time – I was probably a FF-G cup.
A few months ago, I took my friend bra shopping and our department store of choice for this was Debenhams. Liz ended up buying several bras from the Gorgeous collection (and has bought several more since) and we were really spoilt for choice. Regular readers of my blog will know how much I love a bargain and I am thrilled that every time I have been into the Debenhams lingerie department there have always been a number of items on offer/in the sale. What's more, if there is some kind of in store promotion, such as 20% off everything, the discount is taken off sale items too. Liz picked up a couple of Gorgeous bras recently for less than £4 per bra – superb!
The Gorgeous range is specifically designed for the fuller bust and has bras in backs 28-40 and cups from D to J which offer great value as well as style. I had a quick look on the Debenhams website before writing this post and found that the most expensive Gorgeous bra was £24.00, and that was a sports bra! So the range is certainly affordable…but what about the styles on offer?
Well, Gorgeous are quite rightly proudly of the fact they have pretty fashionable bras on offer, as well as every day and flirty styles. As previously mentioned, they even do sports bras! Debenhams are proud to describe their lingerie range as 'the everyday solution for women with curves'.
I must admit to not having tried a Gorgeous bra myself recently so there's no review from me here but do take a look at Georgina and Sophia's recent reviews of them. Online the bras only go up to a J cup but Georgina reports that they're available up to K so I will be investigating this next time I am in a Debenhams store.
A tiny niggle I have with the range is that the padded/plunge bras are only available up to an H cup – this is brilliant compared to many high street stores but I do hope Debenhams have plans to extend the range to HH/J+ cups in the near future.
Yikes! The band curves upwards, indicating it's too loose, and the tell-tale sign of it being worn on the tightest hooks is a dead giveaway of a poor fit. Oops!
Despite these two issues, I think Gorgeous is a fab lingerie range and I hope they will soon put right these small problems in order to reinforce their excellent brand. Having been going for a decade, they are obviously doing a lot of things right and I think offering a decent selection of bras (with matching briefs available) in a wide range of styles and sizes at very attractive prices is a pretty irresistible combination.
Congratulations to Debenhams Gorgeous lingerie – here's to the next 10 years!
Thanks space_librarian – very useful information!
Wow those bras are pretty – and cheap! One day I will visit the UK and buy so many bras I'll need two suitcases just for bras.
Looks like I have to go to Debenhams and Bravissimo while visiting London. Any other places there to buy lingerie with a small band size?
They're available in quite a few places – what size will you be looking for?


Under ICAR sponsored Scheduled Tribe Component (STC) programme, the UAS, Bangalore through eight AICRP schemes of Bangalore Center viz., Long Term Fertilizer Experiment, National Seed Project, Potential Crops, Agro-Forestry, Plant Parasitic Nematodes, Vertebrate Pest Management, Acarology, and Apiary organized a one-day programme on "Distribution of Agricultural Inputs & Training Programme". The objective of the programme was to impart technical & scientific know-how on various aspects of these AICRP schemes besides, distributing the critical inputs.
Dr. M. S. Nataraju, Vice-Chancellor, UAS, Bangalore, in his inaugural address said STC programme is the flagship programme of Government of India (GOI) and ICAR. He ensured that University will make all the effort for uplifting of tribal farmers selected as beneficiaries under the scheme.
Shri. Vijay Lal Meena, the Chief Conservator of Forest, Dept of Forestry, Government of Karnataka, Chamarajanagara district, Chief Guest, said GOI is making all efforts through all the departments and states to bring these economically backward scheduled tribes into main stream of the society. He urged the selected tribal farmers beneficiaries to utilize the benefits given by the university schemes effectively for their overall development.
Dr. Y. G. Shadakshari, Director of Research, UAS, Bangalore, in his presidential remarks said STC programme is in operation in the university since 8 years, being implemented in different AICRP schemes in selected districts of the state, where schedule tribe population is concentrated. Since, the Chamarajanagara district has more than 12% Scheduled Tribe population, the district needs full encouragement to work for the tribal welfare.
More than 250 selected tribal farmers of Budipadaga and surrounding villages of Chamarajanagara district of Karnataka State were distributed the seeds and fertilizers required for growing 1 acre Finger Millet/ Maize and seedlings of the horticulture and forest species were distributed.

World Record Record Holder
October 14, 2011 Dan Lewis Uncategorized 0
In 1979, Ashrita Furman, then age 24, decided to make an attempt at a life-long dream: break a world record. Twenty seven thousand jumping jacks later, he succeeded. He hasn't stopped since.
No, he isn't still doing jumping jacks. That, he has stopped. He hasn't stopped setting records.
In the 32 years since Furman completed an unfathomable amount of jumping jacks, he's also set the record for the fastest mile run while balancing a baseball bat (seen above), the fastest mile while bouncing on a yoga ball (seen here, a feat performed at the Great Wall of China), balancing the most eggs end-to-end (888 of them), running the longest distance on stilts (about five miles) — and about 300 other records. And of those 300, roughly 130 are still his. This gives Ashrita Furman claim to another record: according to the book of Guinness World Records, he set the record for the most current world records held by any individual.
Furman's currently held records are a mix of eclectic activities, achieved while spanning the globe. They include the longest continuous distance somersaulting (over 12 miles!), the most games of hopscotch played in 24 hours (434 — that's one every three and a half minutes), the shortest time peeling and eating a kiwi (5.35 seconds), eating the most M&Ms in a minute while blindfolded and using chopsticks (17), and the most candles burning on a cake (48,523). The cake is particularly interesting, because it was made for Sri Chinmoy, an Indian mystic to whom Furman credits the record-keeper's success. As a teenager, Furman became a follower of Chinmoy's and, with only two weeks of training, entered a 24-hour New York City bike race. Furman — who did not at the time consider himself to be athletic — finished third, and credited his "Inner Spirit" for giving him the strength to succeed in the race.
For Furman, the drive to break more and more records is more of the same. He told Good Morning America that breaking records is "part of his spiritual quest" and that originally, he decided to break a record as a way to tell more people about meditation.
And besides, it's a really great reason to don a potato sack and race a yak. (Ashrita won.)
Bonus fact: Ever wonder why the Guinness World Records book and the beer Guinness share the same name? It's not a coincidence. The book was created by a man named Hugh Beaver, who, one night at a bar, got into an argument over which European game bird was the fastest. Realizing that there was not a go-to reference for this, Beaver aimed to put one together — and then use it as a marketing giveaway for the company he worked for, Guinness Breweries. The book proved to be a success in its own right, and became the bestseller we are now all familiar with. (And the fastest game bird in Britain, per the book, is the red grouse. The book hasn't addressed the question for Europe as a whole.)
From the Archives: The World's Youngest Mother: Here's a record Furman won't be setting — unless he becomes a five year old girl. (Yes, a five year old girl.) Also, Extreme Summer Vacation, the story of a young boy (age 12) who spent a summer climbing to the top of the highest peak in each of the 50 U.S. states.
Related: The Guinness World Records book — or, perhaps, the list of things Ashrita Furman has accomplished, combined with the list of things he's still considering.

Bobtcheff, Catherine (2011) Optimal Dynamic Management of a Renewable Energy Source under Uncertainty. Annales d'économie et de Statistique, vol. 103. pp. 143-174.
We consider a risk averse social planner who has access to different energy sources to produce electricity; hydroelectricity is produced with a dam and thermal electricity is obtained from an unlimited supply at some exogenous cost. The dam is supplied with a random water flow. The presence of constraints on a minimal and maximal storage capacity makes electricity consumption smoothing possible only when the quantity of water available to the agent lies in a certain range that is determined. Consumption smoothing is possible even when the dam is almost empty thanks to the alternative costly energy source. Moreover, a comparative statics analysis reveals that the marginal propensity to produce hydroelectricity is an increasing function of the cost of the second technology. Therefore, the availability of the fossil source at a low cost improves time diversification. Finally, the optimal electric park is composed of a number of dams that increases with the cost of the alternative technology.


In an increasingly connected world, having a robust digital marketing strategy and a healthy online presence is an essential part of growing your business and preparing it for the future.
The benefits of a well optimised site, a great content marketing strategy and social media engagement and are endless. It may even open up doors you never realised were there.
Increased brand awareness will ensure that your customers, both existing and potential, can find you easily online. Our marketing experts will ensure that your digital presence is as conspicuous as it can be, whilst ensuring that your brand message remains consistent and your company's 'voice' can be heard above the noise of your competitors.
Through engagement with targeted communities on third party websites and social media we can build bridges to your future customers, allowing your brand presence to grow organically across different platforms. We will employ a variety of approaches to achieve this, from wide ranging content dissemination and outreach, to targeted social media initiatives.
The first is SEO. Through a combination of website optimisation and content marketing you increase your site's organic rankings in Google's, and other search engine's, search results pages, thus driving more traffic to your site via organic search.
The second is by attracting direct & referral traffic to your site. By publishing great quality content across various industry respected sites, as well as publishing useful guides and resources on your own site, you will demonstrate thought leadership and engage with the issues that your contemporaries and clients face in their day to day lives.
In doing this you will not only build your brand within your community, but by providing a resource that helps out, or shares your knowledge, you'll attract links and traffic to directly to those pages. Referral traffic of this kind is highly targeted and is far more likely to convert than more generic search query traffic.
Thirdly, and by no means least, is social media engagement. Engaging with your community using the channels and platforms where they are currently active is critical if you are to maximise on your market penetration and communicate with as wide a possible spectrum of your existing and potential customers.
There are many shortcuts to boosting your website's rankings in Google search but none of them deliver the kind of sustainable ongoing results a well optimised site with a strong backlink portfolio can.
At Bespoke Digital, we don't believe in shortcuts. We believe that the secret to a website's long-term success is through proper optimisation and maintaining the highest standards of quality at all times, avoiding the kind of pitfalls and shortcuts that could compromise your website's hard earned integrity at a future date.
The best performing websites are those that perform well in the eyes of both Google and the user. A site that does this will in fact benefit from future algorithm updates from Google that penalise the poor practices of its competitors.
Being visible means being contactable, so by building up your online profile across all relevant platforms, your potential customers will be able to find you more easily. Having a comprehensive digital strategy in place that drives customers to your website is only part of the equation however. By applying the right level of targeting in our campaigns, we can deliver not only higher volumes of traffic to your site but higher levels of relevant traffic to your site. And more relevant traffic means much higher enquiry levels and conversions, both on and offline.
Enquiries and conversions are metrics that we can easily track, allowing you to see a return on investment. We will then monitor and adjust your strategy accordingly to keep conversion levels high.

OWI Operating While Intoxicated
Operating While Intoxicated 3rd Offense
Understanding Chemical Intoxication Evidence in an OWI Case
If you are going to fight back against a drunk driving charge which is backed up by chemical intoxication evidence, you need to understand the evidence, the procedures that are supposed to be followed, the equipment used, and other aspects that could prove crucial to your case. Hiring an experienced DUI defense attorney will allow you to thoroughly review and comprehend the legal terminology, case precedents, and other details involved in a DUI/OWI case, so that you can be fully prepared to fight back against wrongful conviction and excessive criminal penalties.
Chemical Intoxication Test in Michigan: Consent
By getting a driver's license, you have already consented to a chemical test if an officer legally requests one. This means that in the majority of OWI cases, some kind of blood, breath, or other chemical test is involved. While in some cases these tests can show whether or not a person is intoxicated, there are many problems that can arise if the tests are not administered properly or if certain errors are committed by police, people handling evidence, or the prosecution.
Contact Grabel & Associates immediately if you are in need of top-level representation for a drunk driving case. For over a decade, our firm has fought for the rights of Michigan's accused, and we know what it takes to challenge chemical evidence and fight back after a false OWI allegation. Read on for more information about chemical testing and breathalyzer test evidence.
Breathalyzer and DataMaster Evidence in Michigan OWI Cases
During a breath test, a suspect's breath is captured in a small chamber, through which an infrared light passes. On the other side, a measurement of the intensity of the light is taken, and the amount of light lost passing through the chamber is converted into a blood alcohol content. These devices are based off the principle that when a gas and a liquid are enclosed in a container together, the amount of gas in the air is proportional to the amount dissolved in the liquid.
The most commonly used breathalyzer device is the DataMaster, which is an infrared spectrometer used in all Michigan drunk driving cases. The DataMaseter, like many other breath test devices, utilizes infrared technology to measure the amount of alcohol in a given breath sample.
Issues with Breathalyzer Test Evidence in OWI Cases
There are a number of issues that make chemical evidence from Datamasters unreliable, some of which are mentioned below:
Different people absorb alcohol at a different rate, thus a breath test may not actually accurately show what a driver's BAC is.
Females have higher water content than men, and thus may react to alcohol differently than men.
The equation used to convert test result into BAC is not easily used in court, since the equation is formulated based on an average person and not easily applicable to individual cases.
Some studies show that up to 15% of people will test at a higher BAC than they truly have.
Like all measuring devices, the DataMaster can never be completely reliable in every case.
The reliability of a breathalyzer greatly depends on the maintenance and calibration of the device.
The DataMaster can be affected by radio frequencies.
Breath tests are not usually specifically designed for alcohol.
Mouth alcohol can lead to a falsely high reading, and efforts made to combat this error have been deemed largely ineffective.
Blood Test as Evidence in Michigan DUI cases
It is a lot harder to dispute blood test evidence, though there are still errors that can occur and lead to a false result. In a chromatographic test, results are significantly more reliable than breath tests; however the test must still be performed by a trained healthcare professional. In addition, the blood needs to be drawn in a sterilized medical environment, handled by professionals, and must follow a distinct chain of evidence with no gaps in knowledge of who had the sample.
A forensic expert should also inspect the blood sample and make comments on the integrity of the sample. Certain complications can arise, such as coagulation of the blood, which can cause naturally occurring microbes in the blood to turn sugars into alcohol. If the blood is not drawn correctly or if the blood kit is expire, this is definitely a risk. Exposure to high temperatures can also lead to centrifuging, which artificially concentrates the liquid portion of the blood as the solid portion is removed.
Cross-Examination by a Forensic Expert in an OWI Case
A skilled defense lawyer will know how to cross-examine any witnesses for the prosecution, and will use this opportunity to challenge the chemical intoxication evidence presented. During cross-examination, a lawyer should be able to find out where an expert was educated and trained, how a sample was handled, how certain tests were performed, who labeled a sample, who verified the results, the range of error in similar cases, and other specific details.
It is critical to work with an attorney who has a comprehensive understanding of blood and breath test evidence so that no potential defense is overlooked. Grabel & Associates is available 24/7 to begin applying a decade of DUI defense experience to your unique case. Call 1-800-342-7896 now to speak with an attorney in a free, confidential case consultation.


As HR practitioners, are you able to forecast which employees are at risk of leaving? Can you help improve the organisation's engagement level? Are you well equipped to drive better compensation and benefits design? Leading companies such as Google and Starbucks have adopted data-driven approaches to make decisions about their employees.
Best Buy, an electronics retail store in the USA, found that a 0.1% increase in their employee engagement at a particular store translates into a US$100K increase in the store's operating revenue.
AT&T and Google found that, for their companies, the ability to take initiative, rather than stellar academic records from prestigious schools is a far better predictor of high performance on a job.
These companies leverage on employee and other data extensively to help them make objective HR decisions.
To address the state of HR analytics today.
To raise the competency level of HR professionals in the use of analytics to undertake basic and intermediate level data analysis and examine basic multivariate models. This will include a discussion of the various types of data and their relationship to analytical outcomes.
To infuse in participants the knowledge to enlarge the scope and depth of the application of analytics to obtain insights that are most valuable to their companies.
To examine common pitfalls in the use of analytics in HR.
To prepare participants for analytics to play a bigger role in their organisation.
This is a highly interactive programme where class sharing, discussion and exercises will be employed alongside with analytical software hands-on practices to help participants grasp the gist of HR analytics.
This intensive two-day programme aims to address the challenges outlined above, and equip the HR practitioners to be more competent and confident in making sense of data for enhanced people decisions.
* These methods require a long learning curve and discussions will focus on knowing their application rather than on skill development.
What is next for HR?
This programme is recommended for executives who are involved in HR functions. It will also be meaningful for participants of the same company to attend as a group which would facilitate discussions and reflection of action plans for their company.
Participants who meet the minimum attendance rate but do not achieve a pass for the assessment will be issued a Certificate of Attendance.
HR analytics competency levels may be classified as foundation level, which allows the practitioner to undertake most descriptive data analyses, and advanced level, which allows for analyses that yield predictive and prescriptive insights.
The HR Analytics Certificate: Using Analytics to Improve People Decisions programme enables participants to undertake descriptive analyses and some predictive analyses. Participants who have successfully completed the HR Analytics Certificate: Using Analytics to Improve People Decisions programme may continue to take the Certified HR Analytical Professional (Advanced Level) programme.
IMPORTANT For the HR Analytics Certificate - Using Analytics to Improve People Decisions programme, please search for course code CRS-N-0044321 for your SkillsFuture Credit claim submission.
Unlike the HR Analytics Certificate programme which focuses primarily on the analysis of how HR initiatives contribute to business objectives, the Management Efficacy programme examines the linkage of both business issues particularly customer experience and value, and human capital initiatives to business outcomes. It is also hands-on, with use of licensed analytical software such as SPSS, and Dr Raymond Teo is the facilitator. Please click here for more programme details.
Participants who have successfully completed and passed the Personal Leadership & Business Success Series: Management Efficacy programme will be accepted for the Certified HR Analytical Professional or Certified Analytical Professional (Advanced Level) programme.
Extremely clear explanations and insightful, and applicable tips by Prof Teo. Would recommend this course to all HR professionals.
Thanks for the wonderfully organised programme.
Love some of the examples, range was good to include various industries (tech, finance etc). Very relevant materials.
Dr Raymond Teo was extremely systematic in delivering the topics which was crucial in helping me understand key concepts and grasping analytical methods. The course features an ample amount of 'best practices' and case studies that are discussed in class are very useful.
Trainer has a passion and is clearly seen from his engagement and additional help offered.
Use of case studies helps in understanding and application of the concepts.
It is a deliberately thought-out, methodical, logical course structure. Participants through the CPS' programme can easily contextualise HR analytics into their respective businesses.
Unlike most institutes which offer quantitative or business analytics courses, CPS' programme has direct relevance for HR professionals.
Great in totality. Very logical approach on each method presented.
All components of this course were useful.
Getting to try out SPSS and learning that MS Excel has an analysis tool are useful! I never knew MS Excel can perform basic analysis (descriptive stats) other than V-Lookup or Pivot. Gaining industry insights from coursemates is also useful.
The concepts were well presented.
Thank you Raymond for your enthusiasm to break through the first mindset barrier of what analytics is about and encouragement to continue develop ourselves for it.
The usage of Excel to apply some analytical methods is useful.
Case study of how analytics was applied in organisation in revolving real people matters challenges. Software application of modeling and most importantly the use of Excel to do simple data analysis. These were most useful.

The Department of Defense announced on Friday that it has found a new acting CIO — none other than Pentagon CISO and Deputy CIO Essye Miller.
Miller steps into a role left open when President Donald Trump named John Zangardi CIO of the Department of Homeland Security back in October. Zangardi had been filling the role since Terry Halvorsen, the department's last officially appointed CIO, left in February.
In her new role, Miller is "the primary advisor to the Secretary of Defense for matters of information management, information technology, and information assurance." She'll also continue with some of her information security responsibilities, DoD said.
This diversity of tasks fits with a general philosophy on federal IT that Miller shared recently in a FedScoop Q&A.

Bogočelovečestvo [богочеловечество] (divino-humanity)
Bogočelovečestvo [богочеловечество] (divino-humanity), a Russian term that refers to the Greek patristic concept to theandrikos [τὸ θεανδϱιϰός], has a central place in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Russian philosophy. It designates two movements directed toward each other: that of the divine moving toward man and that of humanity rising toward the divine. It presents both Christ in the hypostatic union of his two natures, divine and human, and the humanity of men taken in the sense of the accomplishment of their true divine-human relation. In both cases it involves an ontological encounter.
The term bogočelovečestvo is marked by the influence of diverse philosophical traditions, mystical par excellence, and Western as well as Eastern. Two aspects are essential for understanding it. An initial interpretation allows us to see in it a "theanthropy" that takes into account a whole previous patristic heritage and appeals solely to debates about the nature of Christ, the Incarnation, and the meaning of salvation and original sin. A second interpretation is authentically Slavophile and Russocentric and refers to questions concerning the destiny of humanity, the Russian people, Slavic unity, Orthodoxy, and the universal church (vselenskaja tserkov' [bселенсkaя цеpkовь]).
The History of the Word
In the form obožitisja [обожитися] (become God), which refers to theôsis [θέωσις] (divinization), the idea of the ontological encounter of the human with the divine is already present in 1076 in the Izbornik ("Compilation") (RT: Materialy dlia slovaria drevnerusskogo iazyka, 2:532). Greek authors (such as John Climacus, Symeon the New Theologian, Gregory of Sinai, and Gregory Palamas) who stressed the idea of the divinization of man were subsequently translated into Slavic languages. There is an uninterrupted tradition, both literary and practical, that leads from the Greek Hesychasts (Gregory Palamas, Gregory of Sinai, Nicholas Cabasilas, Nicephorus) to the Russian Hesychasts (Nil Sorksy, fifteenth century) and ultimately to the startsy [стapцы] (eremitic fathers) of Optina Pustyn', a monastery in Central Russia that Vladimir Solovyov and Dostoyevsky visited during the summer of 1878, the year in which Solovyov wrote his Lectures on Godmanhood (Bessedy o Bogočelovečestve).
In the Lectures we encounter for the first time the term bogočelovečestvo [богочеловечество] with a philosophical meaning, in the context of universal history. In turn, Sergei Bulgakov considerably enriched this notion by attributing to it strictly theological—and particularly Christological and Trinitarian—meanings in his work on divine wisdom and theanthropy (1933–36). The notion was developed in the direction of religious existentialism and Russophile universalism by N. Berdyayev in his Spirit and Reality (1932), The Russian Idea (1946), and The Divine and the Human (1949). It was later given various inflections—cosmic and salvational in the work of G. Fedorov, personalist in L. Chestov and S. Frank, and "mathematicizing" in P. Florensky.
Bogočelovečestvo is the strange product of disparate intellectual influences in the form of a synthesis of the Jewish Kabbalah, the anthropology of the Greek church fathers, the mysticism of Jakob Böhme and Meister Eckhart, and finally of Spinoza and the German philosophy of identity, in particular in Schelling's system. The latter's influence on the work of V. Solovyov is remarkable. Thus vseedinstvo [всеединство] (uni-totality), a central notion in Russian universalist philosophy, is nothing other than a Russian version of the German Alleinheit; similarly, Solovyov's vseobščee znanie [всеобщее знaниe] echoes Schelling's Anschauung. For his part Berdyayev wrote two important studies on Jakob Böhme and his influence on Russian thought (Berdyayev, Mysterium Magnum, 1:5–28, 29–45). The influences of German philosophy were exercised on this notion in parallel (Stepoun, 1923) with purely Russophile intentions, creating a conception of the world based on the ecclesiastical consciousness of Russian Orthodoxy (A. Khomiakov, I. Kiryevski, I. Samarin, C. Aksakov).
Semantics: Theandry or Divino-Humanity
Bogočelovečestvo is translated in English in different ways: by "theanthropy" or "theandry," or again by "divino-humanity" or "Godmanhood." From the linguistic point of view, the term is composed of two parts: God (bog [Бог]) and humanity (čelovečestvo [человечество]). Both Berdyayev and Solovyov define divinity (božestvennoe [Божественное]) by drawing on Eckhart's Gottheit and Böhme's Ungrund but also on the mystery of the Trinity so dear to the Greek fathers. For Berdyayev, "divinity … is deeper than God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It is absolute freedom, the result of everything, including God, freedom in which even the difference between good and evil is not defined. This ineffable, transcendent Divinity has come into the world in the form of the Trinity, in three hypostases," to complete its creation with humanity, whose goal is to become divino-human (Berdyayev, Meaning of the Creative Act). This difference between divinity and God implicit in bogočelovečestvo refers to the process of a theogony that is pursued in the revelation of the divine through the history of humanity.
Berdyayev draws on the "divine void" (božestvennoe ničto [божественное ничто]), in Greek to meon [τὸ μέον]), which is the basis for all creation and is located within human nature (particularly within the person (ličnost' [личность]). Solovyov emphasizes instead the primordial universalism of human consciousness, which, once restored in Christ, will return universality to all partial existences and restore the uni-totality vseedinstvo [всеединство] lost by fallen humanity:
Since the divine principle is the real object of religious consciousness, that is, an object that acts on consciousness and reveals its content in it, religious development is a positive, objective process, a real interaction between God and man, and thus a divino-human process.
(Solovyov, Lectures on Godmanhood)
Semyon Frank goes still further in affirming an incomplete creation of the world. He considers knowledge (znanie [знaние]) the true blossoming of being, the growth of life: thanks to this form of anthropogony, theogony and cosmogony attain their real goal (cf. Berdyayev, Tipy religioznoj mysli v Rossii [The variety of Russian religious thought]). The second part of the term bogočelovečestvo—that is, čelovečestvo (человечество [humanity])—raises fewer problems of translation. While signifying the humanity of Christ, čelovečestvo has in Russian religious thought a second, very specific meaning: that of a humanity united in the community of Spirit (sobornoe čelovečestvo [собоpное человечество]). Vladimir Solovyov writes: "Reunited with its divine principle through the intermediation of Christ, humanity is the church" (Solovyov, Lectures); thus it is, according to an idea dear to Gregory of Nyssa and adopted by G. Fedorov, the unity constituted by the living, by the dead, and by those who are yet to be born.
The Actualization of the Patristic Heritage
Although it echoes the capital formula of Saint Irenaeus ("The Word of God was made man and the one who is the Son of God was made the son of man, united with the Word of God, so that man might be adopted and become the son of God" (Adversus haeresis [Against heresies], III, 19, 1, 939b) and was abundantly taken over by Saint Athanasius, Gregory the Theologian, and Gregory of Nyssa, the notion itself, whose meaning bogočelovečestvo rearticulates, goes back to Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite. The creation of the word bogočelovečestvo is nothing more than a nominalization of the adjective "theandric" [θεανδϱιϰός] used by Pseudo-Dionysius in his fourth letter to express the idea of the humanity of Christ (RT: PG, vol. 3, letter 4, col. 1072C). The adjective "theandric" designates a mode of activity peculiar to the God-made-man (andrôthentos theou [ἀνδϱωθέντος θεοῦ]), which he has carried out in our favor (kainên tina tên theandrikên hêmin pepoliteumenos [χαινήν τινα τὴν θεανδϱιϰὴν ἡμῖν πεπολιτευμένος]; ibid.) Pauline anthropology opened the way to the idea of the ontological encounter between the divine and the human in the person of Christ, the second Adam, whose sacrifice paved the way for the renaissance of humanity (Rom 5:12; 1 Cor 15:22, 45; Gn 1:26). The whole later anthropology of the Greek church fathers develops this idea. Orthodox patristics proposed a mystical vision of the world in which the divine work is never finished and goes on in the creation of humanity by humanity itself. In some passages Russian authors literally echo patristic expression. "It is toward the God-man [bogočelovek (богочеловеκ)] that the whole history of humanity tended," Solovyov writes in his Lectures.
In the theological register bogočelovečestvo is the synthetic notion that expresses in a single concept two symmetrical events in Christian history. The first of these events is the Incarnation of the Word, its kenôsis [ϰένωσις], that is, in Greek enanthrôpêsis [ἐνανθϱωπήσις] (in Russian, bogovoploščenie [боговоплοщение] in which voploščenie [воплοщение] (incarnation) has its origin in plot' [плοть] (flesh)). The second event is the divinization of man, theôsis, that is, anakephalaiôsis [ἀναϰεφαλαίωσις] (in Russian, oboženie čeloveka [обожение человеκa]). The term kenôsis was formed by the Greek fathers on the basis of the verb kenoô [ϰενόω], that is, "to empty" (with the reflexive pronoun "to empty oneself"). It has its origin in an expression in Paul's Epistle to the Philippians, 2:7. The naming of Jesus as Lord (ibid., 2:9) is preceded by a sequence that describes the humbling of the one who was "in the form of God" (ibid., 2:6). His elevation comes at the end of a descent (in Russian, sošestvie [сοшествие]) and an annihilation (heauton ekenôsen [ἑαυτὸν ἐϰένωσεν]) until he reaches the obedience that makes him accept death on the Cross. This theory of kenôsis also invaded Russian Orthodoxy. V. Tareev (1866–1934) developed the idea that the creation itself was a kenotic act. But his most original ideas had to do with the temptations over which Christ triumphs by accepting his kenotic state. Bulgakov reinforces this idea of Tareev. For him, there is kenos [ϰενός] in the Incarnation only because there is a kenôsis in the Trinity as a whole and a divine kenôsis in the Creation. The kenôsis in the Trinity consists in the mutual love of the divine persons, which surpasses any individual state. The Creation inserts God into time and includes a certain risk. The kenôsis of the Incarnation is located above all in God, in the Word's will to love (Solovyov, Lectures), and appeals to the personalization of the Trinity that turns out to be so important for Orthodox theology.
In Greek patristics kenôsis and theôsis are symmetrical. The notion of theos anthrôpos [Θεὸς 'ʹΑνθϱωπος] was the cornerstone of Greek soteriology, whose meaning is found literally in the idea of the real union of man and God. The Incarnation represents the two sides of a single mystery:
We say in fact that God and man serve each other as models, and that God humanizes himself for man in his love of man, to the very extent to which man, strengthened by charity, transposes himself for God in God.
(Maximus the Confessor, Ambigua, RT: PG, 91:10, 113)
In Christian theosophy the point of contact between these two movements of kenôsis and divinization is man, but the way of conceiving the latter's relation to God differs in the Catholic and Orthodox anthropologies.
Orthodox and Catholic soteriologies
Beyond the historical and theological subtleties of the period of ecumenical councils, this is where we find the key to the divergences between the anthropologies of the Greek and Latin fathers. Starting out from the idea that original sin introduced death into human existence and caused man to lose the grace of being "in the image of God," Orthodox anthropology remains very attached to the idea of the spiritual improvement of humans in their history and to the accomplishment of the deifying contemplation at the end of time (apokatastasis [ἀπоϰατάστασις]), the restoration of humanity and things at the Last Judgment, adopted by Origen and Gregory of Nyssa. The Word was made flesh, according to the Greeks, in order to restore to man the resemblance to God that he had lost through Adam's sin and to deify him. This resemblance guaranteed man's immortality, which original sin had caused him to lose. That is why the Incarnation of the Word is defined by the Greek fathers as the necessary condition for accomplishing the promise of eternal life. It is through love for man that God sought, by means of the sacrifice of Christ, to save fallen humanity (Athanasius [295–373], De incarnatione, 6, 5) (Méhat, 1966, 82–86). Man "would have been lost had the Son of God, the Lord of the Universe and the Savior, not come to put an end to death" (Athanasius, De incarnatione, 9, 2). The metaphor that is important for the whole Orthodox terminology and that remains present in Russian philosophy is that of the "divine thirst," the "lack" manifested by God with regard to humanity, to which he shows his love by creating it pure and wanting to save it.
Confronted by this Orthodox soteriology, Anselm of Canterbury (1033–1109) developed a Latin soteriology in terms of "divine dominium," of cosmic order and justice corrupted by human sin. It is especially in accord with the register of property or legitimate possession (possessio, dominium, dominus) that Anselm sets forth the relations between the creature and his Creator. The latter is the master (dominus), and the creatures endowed with intelligence (angels and men) are this master's slaves, the serfs or servants (servi, conservi). Man has offended the Creator of justice and order in his will and in his honor (Dei honori): original sin consisted in disobeying the Dominus. The ideas of rectitudo, of rectus ordo, which are identified with those of justitia or debitum, are essential in Saint Anselm's doctrine (Roques). Having fallen, man is not capable of giving God his due. Christ, on the other hand, owes the Father nothing but repays the human debt to him. Finally, humanity is indebted in two ways: for Adam's sin and for the death of Christ.
The Greek (Orthodox) and Latin (Catholic) anthropologies are opposed as being, respectively, that of divinization and that of redemption, of grace and debt, of restoration (re-creation) and reparation (restitution), of divine love and divine honor, of participation in order, of rebirth and buying back, of loss and debt, of economy and speculation, of contemplation and calculation, of sanctification and satisfaction. This difference between the Greek and Latin anthropologies is taken over by Dostoyevsky in the legend of the Grand Inquisitor (The Brothers Karamazov).
Bogočelovečestvo and the "Russian Idea"
The Russian philosophers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries often emphasized the elaboration of a new kind of philosophy opposed to the positivism and empiricism prevalent in the West. They considered themselves the inventors of a genuine religious anthropology and of its true language, in which bogočelovečestvo is a central term. The originality of this notion consists in the intense attempt to make the subtleties of the dogma of the humanity of Christ work together with the idea of the divinization of man and the historical conception peculiar to Russian Slavophiles of the period, at the center of which was the Russian idea (russkaja ideja [русская идея]). The latter's historical source resides in the quasi-nationalistic and statist construct elaborated by the monk Philotheos (end of the fifteenth century), who made Moscow the "third Rome." In the nineteenth century the Russian idea consisted in a critical, messianic vision of European humanity as divided into two opposed worlds: the Catholic West and the Orthodox East. Solovyov, and later Berdyayev, following the Slavophiles, condemned the "decadent West" and asserted the particular role of Russia, which is neither Eastern nor Western, but a great "comprehensive East-West" that, alone on earth, "holds the divine truth and represents God's will" (Solovyov, Lectures).
The opposition between East and West has its roots in the history of the Christian church, namely in the schism between a Catholic West (the material part) and an Orthodox East (the spiritual part):
Thus before the perfect union, there is the division…of Christianity into two halves, the East clinging with all its strength to the divine principle and preserving it by maintaining within itself the necessary conservative and ascetic spirit, and the West expending all its energy on developing the human principle, to the detriment of divine truth, which is first deformed and then completely rejected.
(Ibid.)
According to Solovyov, if modern history had been limited to the development of the West, it "would have ended in disintegration and chaos" (ibid.) However, "if history had stopped with Byzantine Christianity, the truth of Christ [divino-humanity, bogočelovečestvo] would have remained incomplete for lack of the free and active human principle that is indispensable for its accomplishment" (ibid.) Russia's messianic vocation consists in combining the "divine element of Christianity" preserved in the East and the human principle freed and developed in the West (ibid.) The "catholic character" (narod [народ]) of the Russian people, that is, its "conciliarity" (see SOBORNOST') makes it possible to realize this vocation. Solovyov picks up here the idea of the Slavophile A. Khomiakov, according to which it is within the ideal church as a divino-human, theanthropic unity, that sobornost' [соборность] (the communion of the Spirit) is developed.
However, since man can receive the Divinity only in his absolute wholeness, that is, in union with all things, the man-God is necessarily a collective, universal being: it is pan-humanity, or the universal church [vselenskaja tserkov'].
Solovyov's universal church is the living analogy of the Absolute. Thus, according to the Russian idea, humanity is bogočelovečestvo: a human community in the history of which the divine is manifested and gradually reveals itself. In overcoming its division, this community must pass from the stage of history to that of metahistory. The latter is nothing other than the intrusion of eternity into historical time, a sort of accomplishment of time, the kairos [ϰαιϱός] that manifests itself solely in encountering the sobornost' of reunited humanity.

'I'm Just Screaming My Balls Off The Whole Time' - Dave Grohl On New Foo
Singer/guitarist says songs on next LP are heavy because of all the energy being put into them.
archive-Jon-Wiederhorn 01/18/2002
Fans of the Rock, take heed — the Foos are back in fighting mode.
On 1999's There Is Nothing Left to Lose, Foo Fighters turned down the noise and focused on hooks, creating a finely crafted pop album with plenty of heart but not a lot of edge. And while "The One," the band's new single for the "Orange County" soundtrack, is cut from the cloth of Cheap Trick power pop, singer/guitarist Dave Grohl swears the band's next record, due this summer, will be a return to the thunder and gristle of the group's first two discs.
"I'm just screaming my balls off the whole time. So there's no real melody [like there was on the last one]," Grohl told MTV News. "And for [drummer] Taylor [Hawkins] this album is just the new 2112 (a classic Rush album showcasing the skills of drummer Neil Peart). There's drums all over the place."
"We're gonna love this record artistically, for sure," added Hawkins. "We may have to sell our houses after this record, but we'll love the music."
As turbulent and aggressive as it ultimately may be, the still-untitled record will be a far cry from the grinding metal Grohl holds dear to his heart — the kind that will eventually wind up on his long-overdue Probot album, a collaboration with glass-gargling vocalists including King Diamond, Motörhead's Lemmy, Wino from the Obsessed, Cronos from Venom and others (see "Dave Grohl Preps A 'Death Metal Supernatural' With
Probot").
As for the songs Grohl writes for Foo Fighters, "even if the riffs and songs are harder, Dave always writes good melodies," Hawkins said, "and there's always a poppiness to his songs that's inherent."
"They're not just heavy for the sake of being heavy," Grohl explained. "They're heavy because of all the energy that went into them, and I think a lot of that came from all the touring we did in the last year and a half. We did five months with the Red Hot Chili Peppers in arenas, which is something we had never done before. And that's when I went, 'OK, I get it. People like the hard rock stuff.' I want to make an album where I can stand out and see thousands of people barreling all over each other. That would be great."
The new Foo Fighters songs were mostly written early last year and demoed in Grohl's home studio in Virginia. Then late last year, the band convened in Hawkins' studio near Los Angeles to work on more demos and record the album, which is the first Foos disc the band has self-produced. So far the group is about two-thirds done with the record. Taylor's drums are in the can, as are Grohl's guitars, and the singer is in the middle of laying down vocals. When he's done, bassist Nate Mendel will record his bass parts, and then guitarist Chris Shiflett will add the finishing six-string touches. The album will be the first on which the musicians have all recorded separately.
"It's not all of us standing around the drums sweating and grinning at each other," Grohl said. "And it's pretty wild when you do it this way because I don't even know what a song is gonna sound like until it's done, and that's exciting to me."
Similarly, Grohl is taking a spontaneous writing approach with his lyrics. To keep himself mentally stimulated, he's completing the vocal tracks for one song before he even starts writing the words for the next.
"After I finish a vocal, I'll go up to my room and sit there with a blank piece of paper going, 'All right, what the hell am I gonna say this time?' And I'll just go for it. I can kind of hear it in my head the way I'm gonna sing it, but it always comes out different. And that's exciting. And everyone's on the edge of their seat going, 'Wow, Dave's gonna f--- this one up.' "
The next Foo Fighters record will contain "The One" as well as "Walkin' the Line," which Hawkins describes as "sort of simple and B-52's-y, but heavier" and a song that he says is "similar to prog rock, with lots of time signature changes." Other tentative tracks include "Attica!" and "Get Up, I Want to Get Down" (see "Foo Fighters Send 'The One' Out To Fans").
Fans can expect a lengthy tour to follow the release of the album, but don't plan on seeing Foo Fighters open for a stadium rock band, as they did with the Chili Peppers.
"I've always said to other bands, 'Before you do anything else, play your own tour. Don't open up for anybody.' That way, the people who really dig you get to see you in a place that feels comfortable. But last time we waited a year before we did that. We were all over the place. That definitely won't happen again."


Producing quality leads has always been a challenge and according to the 2015 State of Marketing survey, "Quality of leads among pressing business challenges." Many companies allocate much time and resources to marketing activities (such as email, call and message campaigns, events, blogs, and ads) without understanding customer requirements clearly. Every marketing activity aimed at non-potential prospect/customer is a wasted dollar, a result of taking shots in the dark. Hence it is vital to understand customer preference and accordingly identify the most effective data source.
The conclusion "Marketing analytics ranks #2 the most critical and important technology to the customer journey." This is an important tool used to analyze data (company website, email, social, web crawling, business directories, APIs) and rate them across business metrics such as traffic, leads, and sales and gain actionable insights into whether leads can become customers.
Demand generation tools are a different breed from any other type of application we have built, because the solution depends on the quality of incoming data, how soon it is brought into the analytics framework and the challenges in data aggregation and analysis depending on the number of data sources.
Recently we helped a client by developing a framework tool to improve the effectiveness of their marketing activities. This tool was easily configurable: a dynamic web crawler using Apache NUTCH and Apache Hadoop as backbone, and an extensible plug-in architecture with many customization features that could be used at runtime.
B2B sales have entered the world of data-driven marketing campaigns. Having a stockroom of data isn't enough anymore; companies have to actively use the data in meaningful ways in order to stay on top. We will sign off by asking a question: What are the most effective ways B2B lead generation marketers will be using big data in 2015?

Exposing Religious Error and Deception
Always remember, faith is the tool of deceivers and the abode (house) of folly and error. Its sole purpose is to keep good people from seeking the truth and understanding wisdom. Would the creator of all knowledge and wisdom insist that you remain ignorant by simply believing what you have been told by obviously duplicitous religious founders and leaders?

Piercing Star of Bethlehem Mystery Illuminates Ages-Old Lies
PRESS RELEASE - December 18, 2011
See the list of recent press releases.
A literal interpretation of the Star of Bethlehem story is vital to the Christmas narrative, but like all Hebrew parables of this period it purposely encodes stunning details long-hidden from religious leaders by the ancient sages and prophets.
Finishing the Mysteries of Gods and Symbols, by Seven Star Hand presents comprehensive proof that ancient sages and prophets opposed religion and wisely never trusted religious leaders. In fact, they participated in a very long-term and well-orchestrated sting-operation against religion and purposefully hid vital secrets from religious leaders throughout the previous several millennia. The breadth and profundity of what was encoded by these ancient sage-scientists, and how they transmitted it across the ages, is absolutely mind-boggling. Encoded throughout the original ancient symbolic narratives are layers of stunning proof of the truth about pivotal details that completely destroy any chance that these religions can possibly be truthful.
A pivotal aspect of the ancient sting operation involved the use of star and angel symbolism throughout the last several millennia. In essence, the ancient sages and prophets provided symbolic narratives to religious leaders that contained deeply encoded details that could not be fully decoded and understood, until a specific time far in their futures. In this manner, untampered proof of the truth was always expertly embedded throughout the resulting religious canons. It was encoded using the symbology that flowed from ancient Egypt and directly into the symbolism of the Hebrew wisdom traditions and resulting canons of the Three Faiths of Abraham. The symbology of the ancients was based on advanced science and precise natural observations that decisively prove its true meanings and purposes. Unfortunately for all religions, this completely exposes pivotal ancient lies.
In recent decades scholars, theologians, and researchers have puzzled over why the Dead Sea Scrolls were buried in exactly 11 caves. Though most attention has been focused on preserving, translating, and decoding the voluminous contents of those 11 caves, scant consideration has been given to the meaning and purpose of the burial method and its use of star symbolism. Those familiar with the Hebrew prophetic texts and expectations are fully aware of the vital importance of star symbolism, though most have no clue of its true meaning and purpose.
Most researchers also have no clue that the ancient Hebrew sages synchronized their calendar with an ancient configuration of the zodiac, unknown to most moderns, and divided it into 360-year cycles. They symbolized specific cycles of time using both stars and angels. The 11th 360-year cycle on the Hebrew calendar was the end of the Second Temple Period during which Christianity arose, the Second Temple and Jerusalem were destroyed by Rome, and the Dead Sea Scrolls were buried by those commonly referred to as Essenes. Thereby, the Dead Sea Scrolls were entombed in precisely 11 caves during the 11th 360-year cycle on the Hebrew calendar.
The first clear evidence of this ancient star-time code appears in the story of Joseph in the book of Genesis. Joseph is the 11th son of Jacob and has a dream when he is 17 years old where 11 stars (and the sun and moon) bow to him. In other words, Genesis encodes a prediction (prophecy) about the vital importance of the 11th 360-year cycle on the Hebrew calendar, using the ancient star-time code. Then centuries later during the 11th 360-year cycle and before the destruction of the Second Temple and Jerusalem by Rome, the Dead Sea Scrolls were purposefully entombed in exactly 11 caves. Thereby, those who buried the Dead Sea Scrolls expertly sent forth proof that they knew this ancient code within Genesis that previous and subsequent groups kept hidden from religious leaders.
The other aspect of this story is that Joseph was 17 years old, giving us the numbers 11 and 17, both of which are encoded in numerous places to symbolize the 11th through 17th 360-year cycles on the Hebrew calendar. The 17th 360-year cycle began just before the start of the new millennium on the Christian calendar in 2001. The star-time code used within Genesis and the Dead Sea Scrolls burial is also used extensively throughout the Book of Revelation, other Hebrew narratives, by Nostradamus, Freemasonry, and within the Great Seal of the USA. One of the vital details passed down by the ancient sages is the importance of the time period from the 11th 360-year cycle (Second Temple Period) until the start of the 17th 360-year cycle, which is now. That time frame is redundantly encoded throughout the Book of Revelation by the same star-time code used within the Dead Sea Scrolls burial method.
The start of the 17th cycle is also the target time frame predicted by the ancient prophets and sages for the arrival of the long-expected messiah/teacher and the unfolding of the apocalypse. As reiterated in earlier articles and releases, the long-misused term "apocalypse" actually refers to the revealing of long-hidden secrets and the solving of ancient mysteries, which consequently causes the rapid collapse of traditional dogma, assumptions, and by logical extension, any wealth and power long associated with them.
Proof of the truth about the purpose and meaning of stars and angels in the original symbolic narratives proves that religious stories about angels are later embellishments and interpolations (ergo lies...) created by religious leaders, not by the prophets and sages who authored the original symbolically encoded narratives. Additionally, the star-angel time code was used within the Book of Revelation to embed verifiable dates and other details that could be compared to religious assertions over the millennia. The combination of star and angel symbology is the silver bullet purposely designed to prove that all three so-called Faiths of Abraham are purposeful deceptions.
Thereby, this serves to prove what the star in the Star of Bethlehem story actually encodes. First, it is important to remember that three magi (astrologers) followed a star to find the birth place of the new messiah. Next, as discussed herein and throughout earlier releases, stars in Hebrew stories were used to symbolize 360-year cycles. Consequently, the star of the second temple period is the 11th 360-year cycle on the Hebrew calendar that is predicted in Genesis. Since these cycles are coordinated with the ancient zodiac (star-time…), the inclusion of the magi validates they were focused on the zodiac, not a literal star in the sky. This story is very much like that of Buddhists who seek out the reincarnation of their masters. In their arrogance and unaware of the hidden codes embedded in the texts stolen during the sack of Qumran, the Roman empire created a series of stories that, unknown to them at the time, secretly encode proof of the truth about what actually occurred back then.
Comprehensive proof that those stories are purposeful deceptions completely destroys any chance there can be any truth to the Christmas narrative. The literal stories underlying Christmas are blatant lies created by religious leaders to hide the truth about what happened two millennia ago. All religions must now confront the ultimate iconoclastic apocalypse. The ancient sages and prophets purposely and expertly hid vital secrets from religious leaders throughout the last several millennia, so proof of the truth would not be lost forever. Just as always promised, the keys to solving the symbolic ancient mysteries have been published, so those blinded by deception can finally see the light.
The series of press releases and articles published as a supplement to Finishing the Mysteries of Gods and Symbols can be read via SevenStarHand.org. To truly understand the supporting evidence and rules for the symbology, reading Finishing the Mysteries of Gods and Symbols, by Seven Star Hand is an absolute requirement.

Ex-Chester hotelier jailed after yacht used for transatlantic drug trafficking
Gary Swift and Scott Kilgour pleaded guilty to importing class A drugs into the UK
David HolmesChief reporter
A former Chester hotel owner is facing a long prison sentence after being caught on a yacht laden with £60m worth of cocaine.
Gary Swift – who relaunched the Eaton Hotel in City Road back in 2009 – was caught red-handed along with accomplice Scott Kilgour when Border Force officers stormed the vessel.
The SY Atrevido had travelled from South America and was heading toward the Welsh coast when it was raided in the early hours last August.
Swift, 53, and Kilgour, 41, were sentenced to 19 years 6 months and 13 years 6 months respectively at Swansea Crown Court, after pleading guilty to importing class A drugs into the UK at an earlier hearing.

In August 2019, the National Crime Agency (NCA), working closely with the Spanish National Police, identified the SY Atrevido as carrying a large cocaine shipment.
The Border Force cutter HMC Protector was scrambled to intercept the yacht, locating it about half a mile off the coast of Wales in the early hours of Tuesday, August 27, 2019.
Swift and Kilgour, 41, both from Liverpool, were arrested on board.
The vessel was escorted into Fishguard port where NCA officers and Border Force's Deep Rummage team carried out a search, discovering 751 kilos of cocaine with a purity of up to 83%. Estimated wholesale value was put at around £24 million with a potential street value of £60 million once cut.
Swift, 53, and Kilgour, 41,were arrested as part of a National Crime Agency-led operation, which resulted in the recovery of approximately 750kg of cocaine from a yacht in Fishguard.
As part of a parallel financial investigation, the NCA seized the SY Atrevido, as well as a second sailing yacht, the SY Mistral, both believed to have been used by the organised crime group, as well as three Rolex watches, a Panerai watch, and Tag Heuer watch.
Investigators obtained court orders to restrain a third sailing yacht, caravans, five cars, two vans, and a house in France.

Upon arrest, Swift said to officers: "I just want to say that I am guilty. I have got something substantial on the boat and they will find it."
He later admitted "I'm the bad one here," and asked custody officers to pass a message to the NCA revealing the number of packages on board the yacht.
In December 2018, Kilgour had bought the vessel, paying €50,000 for it from a seller in Mallorca, Spain.

Gary Swift featured in the Chester Chronicle back in 2009 after relaunching The Eaton Hotel in City Road having bought it for just under £1m in 2007. A £300,000 revamp was carried out but ultimately the business failed to take off.
The father-of-four said at the time: "Initially we were looking to move down to the south coast because I do a bit of sailing. But we had a good think about it and said let's look for something more local.
"We wanted something we could do a bit of work on and the Eaton Hotel was looking a bit tired."
Now under new ownership, the hotel has been closed for four years and remains empty despite plans to create more rooms to make the business more viable.
Jayne Lloyd, NCA regional head of investigations, said: "Today's result shows what will happen if you try to flood our streets with millions of pounds worth of potentially deadly drugs – you will be caught and you will face the consequences.
"Drugs aren't just damaging to the people that take them, they fuel violence and exploitation, damaging communities and leaving destruction in their wake.
"It's thanks to the work of the NCA, Border Force officers, and the Spanish National Police, that two highly organised criminals are behind bars and that these drugs haven't made their way onto the streets.

"Our investigation does not stop here; we are now going after their assets to strip them of their illicit wealth and make sure they don't profit from their crimes."
Deputy director Steve Whitton, from Border Force's Maritime Command, said:
"The work of the crew of HMC Protector, as well as our specialist deep rummage search officers, played a crucial role in this case. Their work was a key part of an investigation which has ultimately put two significant drug smugglers behind bars.
"Border Force's maritime teams will continue to work closely with the NCA to ensure organised criminals like Swift and Kilgour are caught and brought to justice."
