While these might look like clusters of small grapes, they are only immature cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa) seed pods. It appears some animal or bird has been feeding on them because most of the young pods, full of undeveloped seeds and probably a rich little meal, had been broken open and cleaned out. The seed pods were also broken off and laying on the ground, far below where they normally reside high up in the canopy.


Somehow both candidates were able to slip away without discovery. No one, neither their assistants nor their Secret Service "handlers," knew where they were. Each wore baggy clothes, hooded sweatshirts, and sneakers in order to hide their identities as they passed through the streets of the commoners.
Eventually they met at the prearranged location. One had already reserved a back room in the little pub, a quiet room off to the side and out-of-the-way.
"Barack?" the one asked somewhat hushed as he entered the room, shivering from the cold and brushing the raindrops from his pullover.
"Over here, Mitt," came a voice from a corner of the room where there was considerably less light.
"Were you followed?" the President asked.
Taking a seat across from his opponent, "It's something very good, tonight." He pulled a paper bag out from under his pullover and handed it across the table.
The cork was pulled and two drams were filled.
"To the American people," Mitt toasted.
"To bigger government," Obama shifted with a disingenuous and toothy smile.
"Whatever," Romney gritted with a similar smile and clinked Obama's glass.
Each man nosed his glass, swirled the whisky for a moment, and then nosed again. Romney raised his glass to his mouth, sipped and savored, and then after a considerable moment, swallowed. Obama first took out some note cards and set them on the table in front of him, and then took a sip and swallowed.
"So what do you think?" Romney asked, offering Barack the first word.
Days passed. The election came and went. Obama wasn't out of a job, but was re-elected by an extremely slim majority of the country. Romney was distraught, wondering just how an entire nation could be found to be so ignorant. He revved up his laptop and began searching the internet for truth. And then he came upon angelsportion.com, and in particular, a very lengthy and vivid posting regarding Scoresby Scotch. It was in that post that he received the insight he needed.
Very nice, but is Romney aware that just because you say "with all do respect", it does not give license to say whatever he wants?
I believe he is aware, but doesn't care.
LOLOLOL You are too funny, Pastor. However, even created in jest, there is (sadly) a lot of truth to your story.


MapleStory 2 officially rolls out of headstart and into formal launch today, although the servers are currently down until around 1 p.m. EDT for maintenance. We are expecting a launch-day update as well as preorder rewards, though patch notes haven't been released yet; we do know it'll raise the level cap, add the Runeblade class, and introduce the new Karkar Island zone. New servers are also on tap to launch today, and as we wrote yesterday, Nexon is working on cracking down on the gold farmers, spammers, and bots.
We checked out the game during last week's headstart, both in a stream and in a dedicated hands-on piece.
And here's a peek at some of our news on the game since its arrival in Korea and up to now!
The Stream Team: Just how cute is Halloween in MapleStory 2?
Leaderboard: What was the most overrated MMO of 2018?
Discover your style, build your dreamworld, and adventure your way! This is your story!
We'll also be streaming the game at 2 p.m. EDT today on OPTV, so stay tuned!
And it's live, complete with patch notes!
WELCOME TO #MAPLESTORY2! THE OFFICIAL LAUNCH IS NOW LIVE! Free to play for Maplers all around the world!
We've got plenty more in store for you and we hope you have a blast with our very first update and the new job!
Previous articleThe Daily Grind: How do you set up your MMO user interface?
Be honest Bree the whole point of this article is to win you that mint body pillow.
Apparently, they also stripped the cash shop bare of premium cosmetics and put those in a new style lock box, so you have to gamble to get them. They still have the starter pieces that you can select from during character creation and they added a couple of new items. But, it's mostly just pages and pages of plain black and white outfit pieces now in their cash shop.
How effectively can one play this without spending money in the cash shop?
It's about as good as it can get for a F2P game.
You don't need real money for anything, be it levelling, housing, minigames, side activities… and I don't even mean that you can grind to avoid it, the game is piss easy, you can reach max level in days of casual play, housing is literally free and comes with free infinite blocks and plenty of free furniture.
The shop is 99% cosmetics, but they are pretty expensive.
And you can buy a bunch of QoL things like afk playing your instrument or afk fishing. Technically, that will give you some XP… you could skip a good 30 minutes of levelling time, I'm sure.
The teleporters are probably the most useful thing, and there's a $5 sub for the usual XP boost, lower AH fees and stuff. It's probably worth more for the daily cosmetic item than a bunch of random buffs that you will never even notice.
It's a social MMO at heart, and it can definitely be more than enjoyed for free, you can do everything for free. And do it just as well as anyone else.
Wish character customization had body shape options =( I'd like my adventurer to look more like the NPC shown at 53 seconds in the trailer.
I don't know when I'm going to fit this game in, with both Overwatch and Minecraft in heavy rotation, but I really want to play it.
I used my lunch break to get through the starting zone with my Heavy Gunner, Daisychain. Verdict is still out on the controls. Mouse control is not very well done and keyboard controls means I spend an awful lot of time running into walls and shooting in the wrong direction. I refuse to use a gamepad on a PC, so we'll see if this will work for me.

One of the hardest jobs and the most demanding is the LIBRARIAN. Passing out music, collecting, storing it and hunting for lost parts. The job is distracting, as a player in the band they must stop if some one wants music. When music is collected, often someone forgets, or forgets to look in an unused folder.
The librarian in the fifties was Dan Kasmercheck. Dan did this job for many years, not always putting music in the proper place, but always willing to look for it. On parades music has to be passed out and collected at the end of the parade, this also was the librarian's job. As practice halls changed, the music had to also be moved. In the fifties, the Masonic building at Linwood and Paseo, which was then owned by the Legion was used.
Next, the East building at Liberty Memorial, then the old Journal Post building, also known as "bug haven", which was later torn down and rebuilt as part of Crown Center. Epperson Hall on the UMKC campus was used for rehearsals for a couple of years. For a short time the Kansas Legion post at 75 and Metcalf was used. Next move was to the Presbyterian Church at 84th and Foster in Overland Park.
After Dan Kasmercheck the librarian was Betty Easterday. The music was stored in the Stock Yards building in the west bottoms, the same building where the Golden Ox restaurant is located. When the move was made to the Kansas Legion Post, the job of librarian was taken over by Jerry Hamilton. The music was stored by Jerry in his home. The current librarian is Tom Mahan. Over the years, Wendi Levitt, Buck Buchanan, Paul Nadig, Kermit Harper and others have helped do this job.

South Carolina Gamecocks Basketball
Gamecocks can't keep up, fall 81-68 to Gators in SEC opener
Not the start we were looking for.
By Kody Timmers Jan 8, 2020, 2:37pm EST
Share All sharing options for: Gamecocks can't keep up, fall 81-68 to Gators in SEC opener
Jeff Blake-USA TODAY Sports
Well, that wasn't exactly how you want to start conference play.
The South Carolina Gamecocks, coming off a listless and bafflingly bad performance against Stetson, just couldn't hang with the Florida Gators on Tuesday, falling 81-68 despite having numerous opportunities late to tie or take the lead.
Andrew Nembhard was unguardable for UF, putting up a game-leading 21 points with 10 assists, and the Gators always had an answer whenever the Gamecocks started putting together a run. While Florida held just a 30-27 lead at halftime and South Carolina mounted multiple challenges in the second stanza, drawing within a point twice, the Gators kept the Gamecocks safely at arm's length with a well-timed basket or run of their own.
Maik Kotsar was the standout for South Carolina in this one, notching a double-double with 18 points and 10 rebounds. Three other Gamecocks reached double figures — Keyshawn Bryant (14), A.J. Lawson (12), and Jair Bolden (12) — but Lawson continues to struggle through a recent slump, and Justin Minaya (4 points) has been missing in action as well. While it's great that Kotsar has answered the call in his senior season, he's not the kind of talent you can build a team around, and the Gamecocks need much more than just him.
To make matters even worse in a frustrating loss, the optics of this interaction between coach Frank Martin and freshman Jalyn McCreary on the sideline were uh, not great, to say the least:
What was this about??? pic.twitter.com/oWROURn6UK
— Coop (@CoopaLoop1185) January 8, 2020
Martin later defended this by explaining that he was just shoving McCreary toward the scorer's table to check in, but it goes without saying that these kinds of antics — while they shouldn't be tolerated in any scenario — are only permissible as long as you're winning. We'll see what kind of fallout, if any, this produces; there are certainly Martin skeptics within USC circles who have always disliked this behavior, and if the team continues to struggle, those voices will only get louder.
One positive? South Carolina made 13 of its first 14 free throws and finished 18-of-24 for the game. Progress!
The Gamecocks (8-6, 0-1 SEC) are back in action at Tennessee on Saturday.

Maitland Cottage is a children's orthopaedic hospital that is a part of the Red Cross Children's Hospital family.
In preparation of our visit to the home, Cavanagh put their all into thinking about ways in which they could make the girls feel special. During the week before the 28th, we collected multiple bags of toys, clothes and toiletries to donate to the home. On the Friday before, the girls got together to make cards, posters and colourful decorations for the ward.
Apart from spending time chatting, reading and playing games, we thought that the girls might enjoy having manicures and their makeup done, and were delighted when this was reciprocated. We certainly left much more colourful than when we arrived, and as can be seen from our faces, very very happy!
We then pulled out the real treat! Marie biscuits with a choice of icing and sprinkles. Each girl got to choose their icing colour and how they wanted to decorate it. We munched on the treats until it was time to say our goodbyes. We were sad to leave but we have plans to go back, and we hope to build a relationship with the home.

Digital assets platform Bakkt — created by the operator of the NYSE — has announced the completion of its first funding round
Business, Latest News 15 Total views	No comments
Digital assets platform Bakkt — created by the operator of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) — has announced the completion of its first funding round in a blog post today, Dec. 31.
The institutional investor-focused cryptocurrency platform from the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) has officially raised $182.5 million from 12 partners and investors, according to the post.
The partners and investors reportedly include major names in both traditional finance and crypto-oriented investing, including ICE, Boston Consulting Group, Galaxy Digital, Goldfinch Partners, Alan Howard, Horizons Ventures, Microsoft's venture capital arm and Pantera Capital.
Bakkt also noted in the announcement that the company is working with United States regulators — namely the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) — to obtain "regulatory approval for physically delivered and warehoused bitcoin," adding:
"We have filed our applications and the timing for approval is now based on the regulatory review process."
Also today, ICE separately announced in a notice that the firm "expects to provide an updated launch timeline in early 2019, for the trading, clearing and warehousing of the Bakkt Bitcoin (USD) Daily Futures Contract." In late November, the long-awaited digital assets platform stated that it was targeting Jan. 24, 2019 as a launch date, pending CFTC approval.

Pi Beta Phi Valley of the Moon Alumnae Club
Angel Gatherings
C.A.R. Program
Our Sad Farewell To CAR Fall 2015
Well, we had a wonderful ten-year CAR ride with our third-grade Champions!
We enjoyed the kids, they liked to see us, and the feed back from the teachers was positive. At least, we showed a lot of kids that reading can be fun. We could not have done it without dedicated Pi Phis and friends. Thank you for the time and care you all shared with some kids who really need it.
Champions Are Readers (CAR) 2014-2015
October 2014 from 9:00 – 10:00am at Steele Lane Elementary School
Champions Are Readers: 2012-2013
Valley of the Moon Pi Phis and friends filled Mary Schroeder's calendar with three volunteers every day for four weeks in October at Steele Lane School. Kate Gillespie proved to be an excellent addition to our teacher group, along with Janet Wittry and Nicole Mule. Each classroom had only 17 or 18 children. We arranged to have the kick-off on the Friday before the listening sessions began and the awards ceremony the Monday after they concluded, so that gave us two extra days and more time with each child.
Susan Baggett, a new member in our club, jumped right into the program. Besides coming to listen to the children read, she agreed to lend her talents and wonderful puppets for a special treat at the awards ceremony. The children LOVED it, and Susan will have a permanent gig! We had a good turnout of parents, and Cindy Smith took pictures of each child to take home.
We were asked by the international literacy Pi Phi project to evaluate some materials for changing the CAR program before it was presented to the Convention delegates in June in San Diego. We were happy to work this into our return visit to Steele Lane in the spring. It was already decided to eliminate the medals, and we had mixed feelings about this. The proposed substitute award of a blue ribbon rosette was nixed by all of us, but we liked the idea that CAR could expand to include more grade levels and also simplify the paper work. Worksheets and suggestions for activities seemed to duplicate the teachers' normal lesson plans, but they did give some good ideas. Our club prides itself on interaction with the children, so we appreciated the emphasis on that in the proposed program, along with the "flexibility it offered. We look forward to returning to Steele Lane in the fall.
In Bodega Bay, it was the tenth year for CAR! It takes place every February, and this year there were 27 students from kindergarten through fifth grade. Twenty-three students received medals – a very important part of the program in the estimation of the teachers. The blue ribbons and other new materials really did not appeal to the teachers, as most of the ideas were already being used.
CAR Kids Awards Ceremony
Our CAR program is unique in that we have local volunteers who come to the afterschool program to listen to the children read. It does NOT occur during the actual school day. It is difficult for the children who don't remain at school, as it means that parents need to be involved at home. It seemed that parent/sibling involvement was happening on the children's honor, and that was a concern.
This was the first year we offered a book at the beginning of the program for the children to keep. JoAnn Bray, our VOM volunteer, was disappointed that older children who received chapter books did not seem to follow through to the end and didn't always have the book available to read to the volunteer. If books are given again next year as part of the program, she would stress that chapter books be read all the way through. She is looking forward to continuing the program in February, 2014.
Champions are Readers (CAR) Literacy Program 2011-2012
This year we had three classes again at Steele Lane School, with Debbie Inman back as our contact teacher and Janet Whittry and Nicole Mule continuing. We found the children in general at a higher level of reading skills. Undoubtedly this was due to the excellent basis provided by Debbie and Monica Thompson as their second grade teachers last year. We began our challenge month (October) with twelve Pi Phis and six friends on board. We were able to cover the classrooms every day and even had five listeners one day when Mary Anne Cesario's granddaughter and a new friend joined us. As usual the last week was hectic, but with help from Verley Gregerson and Carol Glover, the certificates were packed with books for the medal winners and only four CAR keys given to children who need encouragement " to get their engines started."
March found us back at Steele Lane School with our "check-back" listening schedule. The children seemed happy to see us again, and we were pleased to see a dramatic improvement in skills for many of them. As before, Ms. Mule had the most challenging students, and she appreciated our one-on-one attention. She asked if we would consider helping her with a summer program if she could put it together. It was not easy to arrange, but the Coddingtown Library offered the space. Five Pi Phis and a friend volunteered to help for eleven mornings in June and July. Ms. Mule targeted five students for special help, and we were happy to offer our assistance. It's a new phase in our Valley of the Moon CAR program! February is "CAR Month" at Bodega Bay School. In 2012 JoAnn Bray reports that 25 children were participants in grades two through five, with 17 of them meeting the goal to receive medals. There were eight volunteers on hand to listen, six of them "Friends of Pi Phi." It was especially exciting that three of the second graders who met the goal read every single day. Even a first grader wanted to read each day. She must be preparing for next year! However, some of the older students didn't come through as usual. In spite of that, the teachers are enthusiastic about the program, and CAR is on the 2013 calendar for the tenth year in Bodega Bay!
For eight years now Valley of the Moon has shared the CAR program with the children of Bodega Bay and Santa Rosa. Each year we come to appreciate the dedication of the teachers and fall in love with our small champions. In Santa Rosa, the program has evolved as we have learned. We took twelve programs to six different schools in the first four years –three in 2006 alone. In 2009 we decided to focus our efforts only on Steele Lane School. As we became known there, we expanded our program to include a refresher session in March. This year our enthusiastic volunteer friends, Dorothy Spierings and Trish Rumberger, wanted to continue working with Ms. Mule's most challenging students following the awards ceremony. In January three Pi Phi CAR "veterans" joined them in continuing weekly visits whenever possible. Mrs. Wittry and Ms. Inman assured us that they would also welcome our help outside the scheduled programs. February is known as "CAR Month" at Bodega Bay Elementary School. The 2011 theme was California Missions, inspired by our alum club's excursion to the Cline Cellars Mission Museum last year. All but one of the CAR participants met the goal of reading out loud for at least 15 minutes for a minimum of 20 days. The one girl who missed the goal wrote on the class thank you card, "If you don't first succeed, try, try again." We bet she'll make it! Six Pi Phi sisters came from Santa Rosa for the awards ceremony, were graciously treated to lunch by JoAnn and Ben Bray and were thrilled to meet the children and school staff at their pretty school on a hill overlooking the Bay. Bodega Bay is rather rural so JoAnn depends on local volunteers to help make the program work. This year there were nine helpers plus Pi Phi Marmee Clausen, who comes for the winter. CAR Month is already on the calendar for 2012 with a theme of "Fort Ross." If you are interested in volunteering to be a listener with the CAR Program please contact us.
Valley of the Moon Alumnae Club Sonoma County, California Literacy Stories
Impact on our members: Upon returning from Convention in 2003, Illinois Epsilon MARY KAHLENBERG SCHROEDER introduced the CAR literacy program to Valley of the Moon Alumnae Club at their September meeting. She thought it would be impossible for the club to participate. After all, at that time, the average age of the club was nearly 70 years old. Well, quite the contrary. CAR was enthusiastically welcomed and has become an extremely important commitment for our club. California Zeta, SUZANNE SHARROCKS NELSON had faithfully paid her dues for more than 30 years but was not at "active" member. When CAR was mentioned in the club president's newsletter, she jumped at the chance to be involved in the literacy cause. California Delta, BEVERLY NELSON ZAHL's love of helping children develop led her to approach her grandson's school with the CAR concept. Together Bev and Susie have led the program in Santa Rosa for eight consecutive years. Michigan Beta HELEN LAHEY FULTON embraced the program with great enthusiasm. In fact, at that September meeting Helen told the members she would like to implement the CAR program in the small community of Bodega Bay where she lived. At the time Helen was 84 years old and as far as she knew the only Pi Phi in her community, but she was already a volunteer at the school and knew she could do this. Bodega Bay School is a small two-room school for grades K thru 5 with an attendance of 38 students. Missouri Gamma JOANN PLAYTER BRAY had not been a member of an alumnae club since her graduation from college. She was already a volunteer at the school when Helen gave the CAR program information to her. And even having known one another for many years, that is how they found out they were both Pi Phis. In addition to helping with CAR, JoAnn started attending meetings with Helen and soon became an active alumnae member. Helen passed away in 2008 at the age of 88, but JoAnn and other volunteers continue the legacy Helen began at the Bodega Bay School. In fact JoAnn recruited another Pi Phi to help with the CAR program. Wisconsin Gamma MARMEE MILLER CLAUSEN (who visits Bodega Bay for 3 months every winter) responded to a notice JoAnn posted in the local paper asking for volunteer listeners for a literacy program sponsored by Pi Beta Phi. Impact on others: The "CAR ladies" are instantly recognized when they arrive at school. Younger siblings anticipate reaching third grade so they can become champions. And sometimes we are fortunate enough to see the benefit of our endeavors. Bev Zahl arrived at school a bit early one day. While she was waiting outside during recess a young boy who had already completed the CAR program sat down next to her with a book. When Bev asked if he would like to read aloud to her, he enthusiastically replied, "Oh yes". Several years ago one of the teachers in Santa Rosa was less than enthusiastic about our literacy program. Each year she has become more of a believer and this year she asked the CAR ladies if they could come back EVERY MONTH during the school year just to listen. At the Bodega Bay School the children in the 3–5th grade classroom asked if there was a way the children in the K–2nd grade classroom could participate in some way. The volunteers have made it happen. One of the reasons for our success is a committee of twelve dedicated members who meet and communicate regularly. Because we are a small club of 32 paying members we could not accomplish all that we do without the involvement of our many dedicated friends and volunteers who are not Pi Phis. They are champions for us because we all know literacy is not an exclusive cause. There is no doubt that the Pi Beta Phi literacy program and Valley of the Moon Alumnae Club have made an impact on our children, our community, our volunteers and our members. We have all been enriched. Thank you Pi Beta Phi for furthering the cause of literacy! Sally Shoemaker, Arizona Beta

The report covers a number of options suggested by officials and politicians for dealing with the legacy funding gap.
Mick Hewer, Prospect negotiator, said: "It is crucial to appreciate the context to this report. Public sector pension scheme members have already agreed contribution increases and benefit reductions to ensure their pension schemes were fair and affordable.
"They have also agreed to cost sharing to ensure the schemes remain sustainable in the future.
"The legacy funding gap that has arisen due to the unfunded nature of Isle of Man public sector pension schemes cannot be resolved by making even more detrimental changes to members' pensions.
A number of options, such as capping the salary on which benefits are paid or linking pension age to State Pension Age, were rejected because they were unlikely to manage the legacy funding gap effectively.
However, the report recommends the establishment of a voluntary defined contribution pension scheme by 31 December 2019.
Hewer added: "Prospect is very sceptical that a voluntary defined contribution scheme is a sensible option because the set-up costs are unlikely to be justified by the low levels of take-up we would expect to see.
"If a voluntary defined contribution scheme actually does see take-up levels that justify the set-up costs, then this would seriously exacerbate the legacy funding gap, so either way this proposal seems flawed.
The report also suggested that the Treasury should review future pension increases for scheme members.


Both agencies held talks at the visit of the Assistant Comptroller General (ACG) of Customs Zone 'A', Eporwei Edike, on a courtesy call to the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Shippers' Council, Barr. Hassan Bello on Friday in Lagos.
Edike said his understanding the sensitive demands of trade and the role of the Service, led him on the visit to get first-hand information of areas that need to be addressed immediately for improvement.
Appreciating Edike's working visit, Bello solicited for the support and continued collaboration of the Nigeria Customs Service to achieve a competitive port system for trade services.
He said : "We believe that modern trade facilitation is anchored on automation, on ICT, electronic interface. This will bring about the much needed transparency, efficiency, and it support collaboration.
"You recall that automation of the port for cargo clearance is one of the cardinal functions of the NSC. But we need the customs for us to come together frequently as much as possible, so people will know we are serious about this automation in the ports.
"Now, there is corruption in the port system, and this corruption, one of the easiest ways to check it is through ICT. We have been to many ports even in our sub region where human contact is minimal and with automation, human contact becomes minimal.
On full automation of cargo clearance procedure at the sea port through the use of Single Window System, the ACG said the Service would continue to be alive to its responsibility to ensure a success of the single window system, even as the shipper's council urged the customs to champion the full take off.
According to Bello, an effective single window system would readily support the transportation minister's quest to achieving the 48- hour cargo clearance mandate given to the Nigerian Shippers' Council and the Customs Service.
Bello said if the seaports operated round the clock every day, and with efficient automated system, revenue leakages would be plugged and the customs service would generate more revenue for government.
The shippers' council boss used the opportunity to call on government to create conducive atmosphere for investment; to protect the investments and guarantee investors' profits.
On his part, ACG Edike said the Comptroller-General of Customs, Col. Hammed Ali(Rtd.) had concluded plans for the purchase of new scanners at the ports to ensure better service delivery.
He said that the customs was conscious about the critical duty of the scanners and would be most pleased to set the pace for efficient service to the trading public.
He gave his word that regarding the complaints for urgency in attending to letters from the Council, the zonal office would work with the headquarters to ensure prompt responses, even as he encouraged more 'personal touch' to be applied.
Edike also said the customs would continue in its support to ensure steady progress of the dry ports, as a way of encouraging more cargo to Nigerian ports.
Bello had earlier told the ACG that with a lot of administrative issues needed to be discussed with all stakeholders concerned as the Kaduna Dry Port could now operate as a port of destination and origin.
He told the ACG that operators of the dry port wanted to meet with the customs, and all other stakeholders, adding that when fully operational, trucks would no longer come from the axis to congest Apapa.
The Executive Secretary looked forward to more collaboration and training with the Nigeria Customs Service, for improved port services.

The longest Christmas season is felt in the Philippines every year. It starts as early as September - the start of "ber" months, and count down for Christmas - and ends on the celebration of the Three Kings or Epiphany. That means a celebration from September to January!
Streets, buildings, churches, houses and malls are decorated with symbols of Christmas added with designs that help people flock to those vicinity and take photo opportunity. It is often something to anticipate as it excites millions of people in the country. Aside from the decorations, Christmas songs are also played. It may be the busiest season, it is also the jolliest!
The waiting is getting nearer as the 9 mornings are celebrated before Christmas. It is also something that is expected when the puto bumbong and bibingka are sold just outside the churches. There are lots of parties anywhere and everywhere; people are bringing gifts from company celebrations or extending arms to less fortunate individuals.
In the Philippines, Christmas season is something to look forward. Some landmarks are well-decorated year after year. Hope you can view the videos below!
Anyways, have a happy holidays and a prosperous new year to come from my avenue, www.ten7avenue.com.


I grew up in a home where BSL was my parents' language. After more than 20 years teaching in schools for deaf children, latterly as Deputy Head at Oak Lodge School, I stepped across to be a full-time freelance BSL interpreter in 1994, having already qualified with distinction as an interpreter in 1988.
Throughout my time as an interpreter I was actively involved in interpreting and Deaf community events.
I am a co-founder and still actively involved in managing e-newsli, the online discussion group on BSL interpreting. Over the years I held various voluntary posts in the Association of Sign Language Interpreters. In recognition of my contribution to the interpreting profession I was honoured when, in 2008, my colleagues made me a Fellow of the association – FASLI.
I founded the Healthy Deaf Minds meetings in London, and still have a back-room role. I was Chair of Trustees of the Royal Association for Deaf People until 2015, and of Deafinitely Theatre until 2016. I am currently Chair of Sonus [formerly the Hampshire Association for Deaf People] and still a trustee of Deafinitely Theatre.
Although I retired from interpreting in 2016 I am still available for consultancy, advice, second opinions, complex cases – anything in connection with BSL interpreting.
I set up this site because I got far more requests to interpret than I could handle. Rather than just saying "No", to people when I was busy, I had a list of other reliable and competent interpreters whom they could contact. This site is a way of giving more information about interpreters. Ideally, I want consumers to be able to contact interpreters directly, without the intervention of agencies that don't understand the BSL interpreting market and offer poor value for money.
If you're an NRCPD registered BSL interpreter and you would like me to consider listing you, contact me with the names of 3 interpreters already listed on this site who have seen you working, and 3 experienced Deaf users of your interpreting service. A final decision on inclusion is mine and mine alone.

Canadian Alphonso Davies Named Europe's Most Valuable Young Player
by David on November 3, 2020
In a first for Canadian soccer, Bayern Munich defender Alphonso Davies has been ranked the most valuable young footballer in Europe. Davies is ranked number one, well ahead of Jadon Sancho, Ansu Fati and Erling Haaland.
According to an algorithm modelled by the CIES Football Observatory, 19-year-old Davies has the highest estimated transfer value of any player born in the 2000s who is currently playing in one of Europe's "big five" leagues — standing at a hefty €180 million.
The CIES values are scientifically calculated using an array of variables, such as the player's age, their contact duration, international status and expected career trajectory, as well as transfer market levels and club finances.
Among the 12 big-5 league footballers born in the 2000s with an estimated value greater than €50M are four Englishmen (Jadon Sancho, Mason Greenwood, Bukayo Saka, Phil Foden), two Spaniards (Ansu Fati, Ferran Torres), two Brazilians (Rodrygo Goes, Vinícius Júnior), a Canadian (Alphonso Davies), a Norwegian (Erling Haland), a Swede (Dejan Kulusevski) and a Frenchman (Eduardo Camavinga).
Two players born in 2003 figure in the top 100 list: Jude Bellingham (Borussia Dortmund, €44M) and Florian Wirtz (Bayer Leverkusen, €16M). Bellingham heads the rankings for footballers who did not yet play for a national A-team, ahead of Benoît Badiashile (Monaco, €40 M). The latter outranks Ozan Kabak (Schalke 04, €35 M) and Wesley Fofana (Leicester City, €33M) in the table for centre backs.
Top 20 Young Players In Europe

The Obama administration says it wants a comprehensive approach to energy and climate policy, and anything short of that would be "unfortunate." But Larry Summers, director of Obama's National Economic Council, also said yesterday that they're willing to take an "eclectic" approach that can appease all sides.
If ever there was an issue where we needed to move from either/or to both/and, that it is energy …Instead of debating the relative importance of the priorities of different camps on the left and on the right, of the Southwest and of those in New England, of those oriented to the economy or those oriented to the environment, instead we have the opportunity to move forward by embracing the priorities of multiple groups, by taking an eclectic approach to formulating a new energy policy.
Obama's big offshore drilling announcement last week was intended to signal that his administration is willing to make concessions on energy policy in order to advance a broader environmental agenda. That was also at least part of the motivation for administration's major expansion of nuclear power. The problem is, so far Obama has made all the compromises, with no sign that any Republicans or even moderate Democrats might come around to support his agenda.
