If you're planning to buy your first house, moving home or staying put and refinancing, you might want to make an in-depth assessment of your financial situation before choosing a specific home loan package. There are many ways to borrow money to help you buy your house and here we explain how home loans work, how they differ and how to borrow sensibly.
The classic home loan entails you borrowing a sum of money and repaying it back with interest over a period of time. But it's important to be aware that a home loan is secured against your home. So if for any reason you can't repay it, the lender can sell your home to recover its money.
Most banks offer two types of home loans – variable-rate and fixed-rate loans. The variable-rate home loan is the typical loan taken by the majority of home buyers. Normally the rate to be paid is calculated as a fixed margin over the bank's base rate. Consequently, payments made by the borrower on the outstanding balance of the loan may change over time when the bank revises its base rate.
On the other hand, a fixed-rate home loan is taken out for a set period with a set interest rate. At the end of the fixed-rate period your loan will be converted to a variable interest rate, unless you decide to opt for a new fixed-rate contract, if available. A fixed-rate home loan can be good if you want to carefully budget your repayment – knowing exactly how much you need to repay means you can plan accordingly and gives you a degree of certainty and security. Fixed loans are a better option if there is an expectation of an escalation in interest rates over the medium to long term. However, if the opposite happens and interest rates fall drastically, you will be stuck with a higher interest on your loan.
The interest rate is calculated by taking a base rate determined using indices set by money and financial markets, and adding a margin, or spread, representing the difference between the index and the actual rate applied.
If you're looking for a new home but haven't sold your present house, you may be able to take out a bridge loan. Bridging loans serve to finance the purchase of your new property, pending the sale of your existing property. The bridging loan will then be repaid from the proceeds of sale of your existing property.
This type of home loan gives you the opportunity to repay the interest only, with the capital to be repaid in one lump sum at the end of the term (which normally varies from a maximum of five to six years). An interest only home loan may be used to end-finance the purchase and/or completion of property for use as a main or second residence. When applying for an interest only home loan, you will have to indicate to the bank the intended source of repayment, for example, the sale proceeds from a property or the maturity of an investment.
There are banks which offer the facility to pay the interest only during the first few years of the loan. The loan is then converted to a capital repayment method for the remaining term and you will then have to repay capital and interest. This type of home loan alleviates the burden in the first few years after buying a house but one has to keep in mind that by not repaying any of the capital during these first years, it will take longer to settle the full amount of the loan and hence pay more interest overall.
In terms of the Credit Agreements for consumers relating to residential immovable property regulations (link), banks are obliged to provide the consumer with general pre-contractual information prior to the conclusion of a home loan agreement.
if you terminate your loan by refinancing it by another bank loan.
Most importantly, in the pre-contractual information given to you, the bank should provide you with the European Standard Information Sheet ('ESIS'), which shall contain all the information on the loan, on you and on the institution providing the loan. One of the points you can use to compare which Bank you prefer is the Annual Percentage Rate of Charge (APRC) which will be calculated on the basis prescribed by law and represents the actual cost of the loan, as in addition to the rate of interest it includes any charges payable to the bank in relation to the borrowing facility.
Before deciding to purchase a property, it would be wise to shop around to get an idea of how much you can borrow. Banks will normally take your gross annual income as a base to determine the amount that you can borrow. As a maximum, the repayment on your home loan should not normally exceed 25% to 30% of your gross monthly income. The lender will typically ask you to pay an agreed percentage of the purchase price which will usually be up to 10% (the bank will lend you the difference).
Other documentation as required by the bank.
If your home loan is approved, the bank will issue a sanction letter with the terms and conditions governing your loan. The sanction letter will outline the amount and purpose of the loan, the rate of interest being charged, the monthly repayments, the duration of the loan (which tends to range between 35 to 40 years) and the APRC. The sanction letter will also define the legal and processing fees that will have to be paid (if any), early and/or late repayment fees and any commitment fees (if applicable). The type of security required (such as life and home insurance and hypothecs on the property being purchased) will also be clearly explained. Finally, the sanction letter will also include an explanation of the 'events of default' and the course of action that will be taken by the bank in such instances.
If you decide not to take a loan with a bank after a draft sanction letter has been issued, your bank may decide to apply a fee for the administrative work it incurred for processing your loan application. Double check with the bank about this charge to avoid surprises.
The General tariff of charges provides information in a standard format. Borrowers may be offered different terms and conditions tailored to their individual situations. The lender, once it has received information on the borrower's needs, financial situation and preferences, provides the borrower, free of charge, with the European Standardized Information Sheet (ESIS). This form sets out the information on the customized offer that the borrower can use to compare with other offers available in the marketplace.
The borrower must be given the ESIS without delay, before committing to any loan contract or offer. The ESIS must also set out the terms and conditions of the contract based on the borrower's characteristics and needs.
Before signing the loan agreement, the borrower has the right to a reflection period of at least 7 days to compare the different offers, to consider their terms and conditions, and to make an informed decision.
The 7-day period starts when the borrower receives a binding offer from the lender. During this period the offer is binding on the lender and can be accepted by the borrower at any time. The offer must be accompanied by the ESIS, unless the ESIS was provided earlier or the features of the offer does not differ from the information contained in the earlier ESIS.
What happens if I don't pay my instalments regularly?
In case of a home loan, the bank can exercise the right to repossess your property if you do not keep up with the payments on the loan. However, repossession of property is exercised as a last resort.
Ask the customer to liquidate assets, to reduce the amount due to the bank.
The bank can also agree to a repayment moratorium period within which the customer will be able to sell assets/property over a period of time.
If the customer fails to co-operate towards the repayment of the debt, the bank will proceed with legal action to protect its interests.

"I'm looking forward to having a great time with friends and make this trip a memorable one since I've never been on the Mystic Blue before," said Benedictine Junior Hasan Taqvi. Taqvi will be attending his first Spring Ball this year.
The tickets to this event will cost $25 per person and can be either purchased on the event website or in person at student accounts in the Krasa Center 020.
"Hopefully, it's a great night full of laughs, good food, and loud music," said Taqvi.
Transportation will be provided by the school to the cruise with check-in at Kindlon Hall, opening at 5 PM and busses departing at 6 PM. Transportation by school is required. Picking up tickets at Krasa 020 is important to know what bus one is on.
The official boat cruise will last from 8 PM-11 PM with the busses dropping everyone off at Kindlon.


The Lakeland Terrier is a small-sized dog and is originated in England. The dog is said to be a good companion and a watchdog.
The Lakeland Terrier adapts to the home-environment very soon and become friendly with everyone in a short time.
The Lakeland Terrier is said to be one of the oldest breeds.
The Lakeland Terrier is said to be a good hunter in the olden days.
In the Lake District of England, by crossing the Bedlington Terrier and the Old English Wirehaired Terrier, this new breed was developed and named as Lakeland Terrier.
The Lakeland Terrier is hypoallergenic.
Compatible with children and other domestic animals, the Lakeland is a great breed choice for families or a dedicated sole owner. Inherently energetic and fun-loving, the Lakeland requires regular exercise and mental enrichment.
Highly intelligent and responsive, the Lakeland can be trained to a good degree. On average a healthy Lakeland will weigh 6-8 kg depending on its gender, with a life expectancy of 10-12 years when shown the appropriate care. It is not uncommon for a Lakeland to outlive this expectancy.
Distinctive in appearance, yet bearing a striking resemblance to the Airedale Terrier, the Lakeland is characterised by a medium build, a high-set tail, triangular 'drop' ears and a wiry outer coat in common colour variations of black, blue, liver, tan and grizzle.
A good and quality diet should be planned and fed for the Lakeland terrier. Do not feed it heavily and so prepare a food schedule and feed it accordingly. Try to use clean drinking water all the time.
The Lakeland Terrier is very active and likes to go for walks along with the owners. It prefers long walks and regular exercise will make it fit and healthy. It impresses the owner with its outstanding activeness and sportiveness.
Due to its small size and activeness, it might attract the other bog animals which may turn danger for the dog. So, do not let any other animals to come near the dog and always keep an eye on the dog whenever it is on for the daily walks.
Selectively bred for its hardy capabilities, the Lakeland is typically healthy and long-lived. As with most other breeds, the Lakeland is prone to certain afflictions, including optical disorders, dermatitis and hip dysplasia. No serious breed-specific or genetic diseases are documented for the breed.

St. Paul, Minn. – Macalester College presents its 24th annual International Roundtable with the theme, "Empathy and Its Discontents," Thursday – Saturday, October 12 – 14, in varying campus locations and times, 1600 Grand Ave., St. Paul, Minn. Free and open to the public. For more information, call 651-696-6655 or email igc@macalester.edu.
Every October since 1994, Macalester's International Roundtable has brought diverse communities together to dialogue around a single theme. It's a community-wide and globally-focused forum exploring critical issues from a variety of perspectives. Macalester invites speakers, academics, practitioners, community members and performers to offer their work and experiences to galvanize student engagement and prompt global thinking through plenary sessions, student-led workshops, and campus-wide activities. This year, the theme is "Empathy and Its Discontents."
The modern concept of empathy first emerged in the early nineteenth century as a matter of aesthetic philosophy. The idea of "feeling oneself into" a work of art quickly developed into a powerful social-scientific category with wide-ranging applications.
Today, the international conversation about empathy is urgent and divisive. The idea is championed and challenged in equal measure by neuroscientists, human rights activists, arts critics, psychologists, philosophers, and commentators from many other fields.
This roundtable seeks to bring these sometimes collaborative, sometimes conflicting perspectives together in one place.
The discussions will raise essential questions about the role of empathy in human relations:
What motivates the concern for the suffering of distant strangers?
To what extent, and by what means, does art enable us to forge connections with others?
What are the limits and risks of the empathetic impulse?
And finally, what is the future of empathy in a world facing unprecedented ecological, technological, and political threats?
This year, the four plenary speakers include:
Paul Bloom, the Brooks and Suzanne Ragen Professor of Psychology at Yale University. His research explores how children and adults understand the physical and social world, with special focus on morality, religion, fiction, and art.
Aminatta Forna, the award-winning author of the three novels The Hired Man, The Memory of Love and Ancestor Stones, and the critically acclaimed memoir The Devil that Danced on the Water.
Wing Young Huie, photographic artist and educator. For over 30 years, the celebrated photographer has captured the complex cultural realities of American society.
Patience Zalanga, a photographer documenting the Movement for Black Lives. She began taking photographs of marches, protests, and direct actions after Michael Brown, Jr. was killed in Ferguson, Mo.
Macalester faculty James Dawes, English, Mark Mazullo, Music, and Dianna Shandy, Anthropology and the Institute for Global Citizenship, are this year's co-chairs. The 2017 International Roundtable committee members include: Brian Lozenski, Educational Studies, Lin Aanonsen, Biology, and the three co-chairs.
Over 40 Macalester students are leading 17 sessions at the roundtable, and each session is supervised by faculty and/or staff mentors who are contributing their own rich and diverse expertise to the roundtable. Sponsored by the Macalester Institute for Global Citizenship.

Saudi Arabia has arrested two U.S.-Saudi citizens and six other people in a crackdown on reformers, according to human rights group ALQST, which operates out of both Saudi Arabia and London.
Salah al-Haidar lives with his wife and child in Saudi Arabia, and his father has a home in Vienna, Virginia, reported CNN. Badr al-Ibrahim is a doctor and author of a book on Shiite Muslim politics, reported Reuters. Both were reportedly arrested because of their connections to 10 women's rights activists who were put on trial in March, reported BBC.
Three of the activists on trial, including al-Haidar's mother Aziza al-Yousef, were released on bail. (RELATED: The Most Profitable Company In The World Raked In $111 Billion. It Wasn't Apple)
The eight people who are reportedly being detained had been placed under a travel ban in February, according to ALQST.
"We believe their arrests have been orchestrated since February and are linked to their support for the women activists' families," ALQST wrote on Twitter Friday.
All those named above are writers and social media bloggers previously engaged in public discourse on reforms. We believe their arrests have been orchestrated since February and are linked to their support for the women activists' families.#StandWithSaudiHeroes

Saudi Arabia was ranked in the bottom 10 countries for gender equality in 2018 by the World Economic Forum, according to BBC. Women there cannot marry, open bank accounts or travel without a male relative or guardian's approval.
Al-Haidar and al-Ibrahim are not the only U.S.-Saudi citizens believed to be detained in the kingdom. U.S.-Saudi citizen Walid Fitaihi has primarily lived in Saudi Arabia since 2006 but was first detained in 2017, a source familiar with the situation told CNN. Fitaihi has reportedly been beaten and tortured.

Reports of the arrests come as Saudi Arabia is allegedly throwing millions of dollars at murdered Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi's children, including payouts and expensive homes.
The CIA has said it has "medium to high confidence" that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman ordered Khashoggi's killing. Saudi officials paint the suspected killers as rogue operators. They also deny that the crown prince was ever involved.

Centrifugal Pumps in Cooling Technology
Cooling technology deals with methods and procedures to remove heat. The cooling processes required here are based on various physical effects dealing with the cyclical phase shift of a refrigerant in the refrigerating machine.
Application of EDUR-Pumps in Cooling Technology
Industrial refrigeration comprises a wide spectrum of different applications in cooling technology. As a rule, systems with a higher performance from about 200 m³/h compressor suction volume are required. Typical fields of application of pumps in cooling technology can be found in food processing, slaughterhouses, dairy technology, beverage industry, breweries, pharmaceutical industry, deep-freeze warehouses as well as in the chemical industry.
Centrifugal pumps in refrigerating plants are classified according to the type of conveyed fluid. Depending on the design and size of the plant, there are coolant pumps and refrigerant pumps.
EDUR-pumps for coolants stand out due to their compact pump design, axial thrust-free, open or closed and load-relieved impellers as well as diffuser elements in the ring housing, which take up a large portion of the radial forces. This overall construction has a positive influence on the lifetime of the mechanical seal as well as on the anti-friction bearings in the drive motor. In order to prevent the mechanical seal from being damaged by freezing condensation water, EDUR-pumps are executed with antifreeze protection in case of very low temperatures of the conveyed fluid.
Refrigerant pumps are often magnetically coupled pumps, which hermetically seal the refrigerant from the atmosphere. The advantage over canned motor pumps lies in the spatial separation of the drive motor from the pump, which prevents a heat intake into the conveyed fluid i.e. the refrigerant. Consequently, the separation has a positive effect on the energy balance of the whole refrigerating plant.
Furthermore, EDUR-refrigerant pumps are characterized by very low NPSH values, which have a positive effect on the refrigerant at its boiling point. Compared to volute housing pumps, EDUR-centrifugal pumps are able to transport certain gas proportions in conveyed fluid through the diffuser element. The advantage here being that the minimal amount of refrigerant evaporation is safely handled.
Refrigeration Plants in the Chemical Industry
Refrigeration plants that are used in the chemical industry are mainly used for cooling down products, cooling rooms and condensing gases. When cooling down products, either solid products are cooled down by recirculating the ambient air or liquids are cooled in heat exchangers. When cooling rooms, it is merely a matter of reducing the room temperature below the ambient temperature. Condensing gases takes place in special heat exchangers. The condensation heat is absorbed at low temperature by the evaporating refrigerant.
Refrigeration plants consist of:
and a multitude of different auxiliary units, such as single stage and multistage centrifugal pumps in horizontal or vertical design made of materials such as grey cast iron, spheroidal graphite iron or stainless steel.
The constructional design of centrifugal pumps in refrigerant plants is based on the type of conveyed fluid, which is divided into coolants and refrigerants. Coolants are liquids, which are still flowable at low temperatures and transport coldness to the desired place. Here, centrifugal pumps with single-acting mechanical seals such as so-called brine pumps are mainly used, because the conveyed fluids are normally not dangerous to people or the environment. For reasons of climate protection, natural refrigerants such as ammonia (NH3) or carbon dioxide (CO2) are increasingly used. Even if these refrigerants have proved to be very environmentally compatible, they are harmful to humans. That is why hermetically sealed centrifugal pumps such as magnetically coupled pumps are used for the transport of refrigerants, which hermetically seal the pump interior from the atmosphere.
Refrigeration Plants in Deep-Freeze Warehouses
In deep-freeze warehouses a temperature is artificially obtained, which is usually below the ambient temperature. The usual temperature range in storage rooms lies between -18 and -30°C. The refrigerating plant of a deep-freeze warehouse requires a lot of space and accounts for approx. 20% of the total investment of a refrigerated warehouse. Compressor cooling plants operated with ammonia (NH3) are used starting at 200 kW of installed refrigerating capacity mainly due to the good energy balance and the positive environmental properties. The pump technology here ranges from single stage or multistage centrifugal pumps with single-acting mechanical seal and antifreeze protection (brine pumps or coolant pumps) to magnetically coupled pumps (refrigerant pumps) for ammonia (NH3) or carbon dioxide (CO2).
Energy-Savings through Absorption Refrigerators
With an absorption refrigerator, the refrigerant is re-liquefied after evaporation through temperature differences. This procedure is also referred to as thermal compression, as opposed to compression refrigeration, whereby liquefaction occurs via a compressor.
For the supply of refrigerant-solvent mixture solution pumps are used, which are executed as magnetically coupled pumps conveying the refrigerant ammonia. Brine pumps are used for the coolant circuit. For reasons of corrosion protection, these brines are not salt solutions, but a mixture of ethylene or propylene glycol and water. Depending on the temperature level, also freezer pumps with antifreeze protection are used.
Refrigerating Plants for Earth Freezing Systems
In order to manage groundwater ingress and static stability with underground building projects, earth freezing systems freeze the building sites for the duration of construction works. By introducing steel and concrete, the earthwork is stabilised after thawing and the groundwater prevented from ingress. The cooling concept of such a system consists of refrigerating plant that is arranged above ground combined with freezing lances, which are introduced into the earthwork within the construction site area. Depending on the temperature level, various coolants are supplied through these lances, which freeze the soil around the freezing lances down to a temperature of -50°C. The EDUR-centrifugal pumps used can safely supply the viscous coolant at these extreme temperatures and are additionally executed with a reliable antifreeze protection.
At such cooling powers, the refrigerating machine itself is normally operated using the refrigerant ammonia (NH3). Even though this natural refrigerant is climate-neutral, it is still a toxic fluid which may be supplied exclusively with hermetic pumps. Here, magnetically-coupled refrigerant pumps are used to prevent the conveyed fluid from escaping into the atmosphere.

Q: Add delay to gtest Test Case I'm using google test framework for testing hardware Ethernet switch. Some operations (e.x. enabling RSTP) take time to proceed. So I need to implement some sort of a Sleep() function inside the test case:
TEST_F(RSTP, enableRSTP) {
    snmp.set(OID, Integer32(3));
    // after changing value switch is unavailable
    // so I need to wait before request
    auto result = snmp.get(OID);
    auto res = std::get<Integer32>(result);
    ASSERT_EQ(res, Integer32(3));
}

How do I accomplish this?

A: As mentioned in one of the comments, you could just use (c++14):
#include <chrono>
#include <thread>
TEST_F(RSTP, enableRSTP) {
  ...
  using namespace std::chrono_literals;
  std::this_thread::sleep_for(2s);
  ...
}

... or for c++11, replace 2s with:
std::chrono::seconds(2)

If you don't use >= c++11, then this becomes an OS specific question (not standard c++)

Find Electrician Schools Near Me in Harlem GA 30814
How to Become an Electrician in Harlem Georgia
The first step to becoming an electrical contractor or tradesman is locating an electrician trade school near Harlem GA. But with numerous vocational schools to select from, just how do you undertake making sure that you enroll in the best one? Especially because there are so many points to evaluate. For example, many students will commence by looking for schools that are nearby their home. Once they have identified a few that are within driving range, they will select the one with the most affordable tuition. While cost and location are of importance, they are not the only things that must be considered. Also important are the accreditation and reputations of the schools, as well as their graduation and job placement rates. These and other qualifiers should help mold your ultimate judgment when selecting an electrician school. We will cover that checklist in more detail later in this post. But first, let's talk a little bit about becoming an electrician and the training choices that are offered.
Electrician Degree, Diploma and Certificate Programs near Harlem GA
There are multiple ways to receive electrician training in a vocational or trade school near Harlem GA. You can enroll in a diploma or certificate program, or earn an Associate Degree. Bachelor's Degrees are offered at certain schools, but are not as common as the other three alternatives. Often these programs are made available in conjunction with an apprenticeship, which are mandated by most states in order to become licensed or if you wish to become certified. Bellow are brief descriptions of the 3 most common programs offered.
Certificate and Diploma Programs are generally provided by Georgia vocational and trade schools and require approximately a year to finish. They furnish a good foundation and are geared towards individuals who wish to enter an apprenticeship faster as a journeyman electrician.
Associate Degrees require two years to finish and are provided by Georgia community colleges, typically as an Associate Degree in Electrical Technology. They furnish a more well-rounded education while supplying the foundation that prepares students to enter into their apprenticeship program.
As earlier mentioned, Bachelor's Degrees are available at some Georgia colleges, but are less favored at four years than the other shorter programs. Most states mandate that an apprenticeship of at least 2 years and in most cases four years be carried out prior to licensing. Therefore, the majority of students are eager to begin their paid apprenticeship, particularly if it's not a component of their educational program.
Electrician License and Certification Prerequisites
Electricians in Harlem GA can undertake a multitude of tasks, such as installing, replacing and testing electrical systems, and making sure that the wiring in buildings and homes are up to code standards. After completing an apprenticeship, journeyman electricians are required to become licensed in the majority of municipalities and states. The period of apprenticeship varies by state, but commonly about four to five years of practical experience is required before taking the licensing examination. The exams commonly evaluate electrical theory and general knowledge, in addition to understanding of the National Electrical Code (NEC). Receiving certification is also a voluntary method for an electrician to differentiate her or himself as a experienced and skilled professional. The certifications available differ by state and can be earned in numerous specializations, such as cable splicing as an example. The certification process usually involves three levels of proficiency:
Examples of certifying agencies include the National Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (NJATC) along with the National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies (NICET). It's imperative that the electrician vocational school that you choose not only provides a strong academic foundation, but also helps ready you for passing any licensing and certification exams that you might be required to take in the future.
Attending Electrician Online Schools in Harlem GA
An option that you might have contemplated is selecting an electrician online program to earn a certificate or degree. Although online training programs have become more prevalent as a means of attending class without the need for travel, in this case they are not entirely internet based. Virtually all electrician training programs require some attendance on-campus to receive practical hands-on training. But since the remainder of the classes can be attended online, distance learning may be a more accommodating option for students that have limited time for education. And as an added benefit numerous online training programs have a reduced tuition cost compared to their traditional competitors. Driving costs from Harlem GA are also reduced and some of the study materials may be accessed online as well. All of these benefits can make electrician online trade schools more economical and convenient. And a number are fully accredited, which we will discuss in our questions to ask checklist.
Questions to Ask Electrician Tech Schools
When you have decided to earn a certificate, diploma or degree, you can begin to focus your school options. Considering that there are so many electrician vocational and trade schools in the Harlem GA region, it's imperative to have a checklist of qualifications that each program must satisfy. The initial two that we mentioned were location and the cost of tuition. If you have an interest in earning an online degree, then that must be an option that your final school offers. And although all three qualifiers may be crucial when making your determination, there are other factors that need to be considered also. Following is a checklist of those added qualifiers that you will need to assess prior to enrolling in an electrical tech school.
Accreditation. Many electrician vocational schools have earned either a regional or a national accreditation. They can acquire Institutional Accreditation, which involves the school's programs overall, or Programmatic Accreditation, which relates to an individual program, for instance electrical technology. Make certain that the Harlem GA school is accredited by a U.S. Department of Education approved accrediting organization, which includes the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. In addition to helping guarantee that you acquire a superior education, it may help in securing financial aid or student loans, which are frequently unavailable for non-accredited schools. Additionally, a number of states require that the electrician training program be accredited for it to qualify for licensing.
High Completion and Placement Rates. Ask the electrician training programs you are looking at what their completion rates are. The completion rate is the percentage of students who enroll in and complete the course. A low completion rate could suggest that students were dissatisfied with the course and dropped out. It may also mean that the instructors were not qualified to train the students. It's similarly essential that the schools have high job placement rates. Older and/or more reputable schools may have a broader directory of graduates, which can result in more contacts for the school to utilize for their apprenticeship and job placement programs. A high job placement rate will not only affirm that the school has a good reputation within the field, but additionally that it has the network of contacts to help Harlem GA graduates obtain apprenticeships or employment.
Apprenticeship Programs. A large number of electrician training programs are taught together with an apprenticeship or an internship program. Those participating vocational and trade schools will help place you in an apprenticeship program within their network of electrical businesses or trade unions. Ask if the schools you are reviewing have referring relationships with Harlem GA area electricians or electrical specialists. An apprenticeship not only offers a rewarding experience by supplying hands-on training, but it also provides job opportunities and helps to establish relationships in the area electrician professional community.
Modern Facilities. Make sure that the school facilities and the tools that you will be trained on are state-of-the-art and what you will be using on the job. If you are already in an internship or an apprenticeship, check with the electrical tech you are working with regarding what you should be looking for. Otherwise, ask a local Harlem GA electrical company if they can provide some tips. Also bear in mind that unless you can relocate, the school must be within commuting distance of your Harlem residence. Take note that if you decide to attend an out-of-state school, in addition to relocation costs there may be higher tuition fees compared to in-state residents.
Smaller Classes. It's desirable that you receive as much individualized instruction as possible, which can be challenging in bigger classes. Ask if you can sit in on a few of the classes so that you can observe how large they are and witness first hand the interaction between students and teachers. Speak with some of the students and get their feedback concerning class sizes and instruction. Last, speak with a few of the teachers and find out what their level of experience is and what degrees or certifications they hold.
Flexible Scheduling. Verify that the class schedules for the schools you are reviewing are flexible enough to meet your needs. If you are only able to go to classes in the evening or on weekends near Harlem GA, confirm that the programs you are considering provide those choices. If you can only attend part-time, make certain that the school you select allows part-time enrollment. Finally, ask what the protocol is to make-up classes should you miss any because of work, illness or family issues.

Stoke Football Club: 1915 Re-admission To Football League
It's just over 105 years since Stoke Football Club (as Stoke City was then called) regained its place in the Football League after a twelve-year absence due to bankruptcy. Their re-admission is unique in that they were the only club to gain re-election to the Football League.
Stoke Ramblers was founded in 1863. Stoke Ramblers merged with the Stoke Victoria Club in September 1878 and moved to the new athletic ground across the road. At this time, they were known as Stoke FC. (Stoke Football Club)
In 1888, they became a founding member of the Football League. They finished bottom of the table in the first two seasons. After two seasons, Stoke was outvoted (being replaced by Sunderland) and had to play in the Football Alliance. After a season in the Football Alliance, they were elected back in for the 1891-92 season and remained in the top flight until being relegated in 1906-07.
Stoke Football Club Bankruptcy
Several years of mid-table stagnation later, the club was relegated to Division Two at the end of the 1906/07 season. During that season, attendance plummeted. Unfortunately, it didn't improve the year after, with attendances dropping to as low as 3,000, 2,000, and even 1,500 by the end of 1907/08. As a result of this rapid decline, there were financial complications, and the player salaries and running costs were more than gate receipts, and Stoke Football Club went bankrupt in 1908.
After the club lost its Football League status in 1908, it re-registered as a new company and played in the Birmingham & District League for the next season. Then from 1909-10, they entered the Southern League Second Division, initially playing in both competitions. Although there was a brief stay in the Southern League First Division, they were back in the Southern League Second Division for 1914-15.
Hostile AGM
The Stoke Football Club's annual general meeting in the summer of 1914 had been a stormy affair. The directors appear to have expected an easy ride. However, the team finished in fifth position in 1913-14. They had obtained 16 votes in the re-election for a place back in the Football League (just nine short), while there had been a profit on the year's trading of £348.
The meeting was a thrice run affair, with opposition led by Alf Barker, one of the individuals who had helped reform the club in 1908. Two directors failed to retain their places on the board in the show-of-hands vote but then won in the ballot based on shareholdings. Allegations of a missile being thrown turned out to be nothing more than a crumpled piece of paper. The board narrowly won through at a third meeting, winning an open vote by 48 to 47 and the shareholders' ballot more comfortably, by 378 to 168.
New Secretary / Manager
The new secretary-manager Peter Hodge had previously spent five years in charge of Raith Rovers. He had achieved three consecutive top-two positions in the Scottish League Division Two before gaining promotion to the First Division. A knowledgeable and effective manager, he went on to take charge of Leicester and Manchester City after the First World War was over.
There was little transfer activity over the summer, and the squad that started 1914-15 was more or less the same as had finished the previous campaign. The Southern League Division, Two of 1914-15, was dysfunctional. Of the 17 clubs set to take part, 12 were based in South Wales, two in the London area (Leyton and Brentford), two in the Midlands (Stoke and Coventry City), and one in the North West (Stalybridge Celtic). The presence of Stalybridge was not the first occasion a Northern club had joined the competition, for Bradford Park Avenue had been members in 1907-08.
The Southern League
The clubs were essentially a mixture of Football League (or at least Southern League Division One) hopefuls and teams recruited as part of an expansion move by the Southern league to bring professional football to the Welsh Valleys, plus the newly formed Essex professional outfit Leyton who had yet to play a game. One of the skills a secretary-manager required was to arrange the best possible fixture list with at least one attractive home fixture over the Christmas period.
In the Southern League Division Two, other considerations were to be borne in mind. The state of many of the Welsh grounds was appalling, and these were best negotiated in the summer months when there was more daylight, enabling later kick-off times, and the pitches were likely to be in slightly better condition. Time and time again, comments appeared in the Staffordshire Evening Sentinel along the following lines: "Frequenters of the Victoria Ground can have no conception of the state of some of these Welsh enclosures" (30 January 1915). Ton Pentre was probably the worst "cramped, uneven, composed for the most part of clinker, and positively dangerous to players owing to the presence of so much glass and clinker" (Staffordshire Evening Sentinel, 13 February 1915).
For good measure, there was also a significant slope to the pitch. Players described the Llanelly pitch as "a fearful handicap" to players, while Barry Town's ground was "a terrible enclosure … almost knee-deep in the mud". Pontypridd's Taff Vale Park boasted the fastest sprint track in the British Isles; the only problem was it ran down the middle of the pitch, from goal to goal. It was about 10 meters wide and, for football, was covered with a light layer of peat. The MidRhondda pitch was described as "more underwater than above it."
Long Journeys For Stoke Football Club
The long distances to be traveled meant very long journeys and often 4.00 pm (sometimes 5.00 pm) kick-offs for Saturday afternoon matches. As the war progressed, travel became more complicated, and train journeys were often a problem. Perhaps the most challenging journey for Stoke Football Club was their trip to Brentford for a Christmas Day fixture. The players left Stoke at 8.15 pm on Christmas Eve but did not reach Euston until 3.20 am.
After traveling to their hotel, they had supper at 5.30 and were in bed for 6. At 8.30, they were up again and made their way to Brentford, arriving just in time for the 11.15 kick-off. After only a couple of hours' sleep, the team played well and came away with a 2-2 draw. There were also delays on some of the trips to Wales. Despite leaving for Merthyr before 8.30 am, the players arrived only in time for the 4.00 pm kick-off and changed en route, going straight to the pitch for the start.
Mid Rhondda (based at Tonypandy) was a similar story; the party left before 8.00 am, arrived at 4.30 pm (the scheduled kick-off time,) and the match eventually started at 5.00 pm. Stoke Football Club had wisely decided to begin the season with a trip to South Wales, with fixtures scheduled at Mardy on 1 September and Caerphilly the following day. Unfortunately, the opening game at Mardy was lost, but as Caerphilly had withdrawn from the competition a couple of days beforehand, the players could travel back to the Midlands.
The next fixture was home to newcomers Leyton Orient, resulting in a 3-1 win. There followed a successful run through to that Christmas Day visit to Brentford, with 12 out of 13 games won and just a single defeat away promotion rivals Stalybridge Celtic.
Stoke Football Club FA Cup Record
The FA Cup began with a record 11-0 win over Stourbridge in the preliminary qualifying round but ended with a disappointing defeat at Walsall, members of the Birmingham League, in which Stoke Football Club reserve team competed. However, the promotion campaign received an unexpected boost towards the end of November with the withdrawal of Leyton and Mardy, thus removing the opening day defeat from the league records.
A third club, Abertillery, also dropped out in the New Year, leaving 13 clubs to complete the season. As a result, the division was split into two: those with promotion ambitions (Stoke, Swansea, Merthyr, Stalybridge, Brentford, and Coventry) and the rest. Coventry effectively ran out of money in the second half of the season and was not always able to field an entire team in Birmingham League matches. Brentford, too, drifted away, leaving the remaining four clubs in contention.
Ultimately Stoke Football Club's championship success was built on an impressive home record: 11 wins out of 12 and a goals tally of 49 for and just five against. However, even after that New Year points boost, it was not all plain sailing. There were two tough fixtures to overcome in March. Firstly, on 6 March, there was a tricky visit to Merthyr Town, who were also in the championship race.
Delays on the rail journey meant the team had to change into their kit en route and go straight into the match on arrival. Nevertheless, a valuable point was obtained in a 0-0 draw. The following Saturday came to the decisive fixture at home to Stalybridge Celtic. Stalybridge might seem an unusual name to be found in the Southern League. Still, the competition was seen as a route to football league membership, and they are not the most northern to have taken part in the competition – Bradford Park Avenue did so in 1907-08. Stalybridge seems to have misjudged the strength of opposing teams and lost four games in the first half of the season, which effectively cost them the title. They were the only team to have beaten Stoke Football Club to date and did not lose a game after mid-December.
The revival in fortunes was undoubtedly linked to their signing almost an entirely new forward line during the season: Laurie Burkinshaw (Sheffield Wednesday), Walter Anthony (Blackburn), Andy Nelson (Port Vale), and Norman Wood (Stockport). They arrived at the Victoria Ground looking for a win, but in front of a 6,000 crowd, Stoke Football Club held firm with Arthur Watkin's goal earning another valuable draw.
Closing Stages
The closing stages of the season were marred by ill-feeling. Stoke's 4-2 loss at Mid Rhondda on Good Friday followed by their Easter Monday thrashing of Ebbw Vale by a 10-0 margin to clinch the title led to some raised eyebrows in South Wales. This was mainly so as the small contingent of Ebbw Vale professionals all hailed from the Potteries (notably Amos Baddeley, a former Stoke player), as did their manager, Arthur Shallcross, who later went on to become manager of Stoke Football Club after the war.
However, Mid Rhondda's pitch was noted as being poor, and the team arrived late, delaying the kick-off, which probably explains the result. It was also the case that close rivals Merthyr and Stalybridge still had to meet each other, which meant there was little chance of Stoke Football club losing out on the title anyway.
Merthyr's chances were further reduced following a 1-0 defeat at Llanelly on 10 April. Allegations were made that the Llanelly players had been bribed to perform at their best. Following investigations, the Mid Rhondda and former Leeds City winger George Cunningham were banned from the FA of Wales. However, Stalybridge, the obvious beneficiaries, seems to have escaped punishment.
Applying For The Football League (Once Again)
Stoke Football Club's primary aim of achieving promotion to the First Division of the Southern League had been completed. They now set out to better this by applying to join the Football League. They did so in defiance of the Southern League authorities, having decided not to resign their membership before applying.
There were seven applications: Leicester Fosse and Glossop, both seeking re-election after finishing in the bottom two places of Division Two, plus Chesterfield Town, Coventry City, Darlington, South Shields, and Stoke Football Club. The process was that a representative from each club stated their case for membership, and the member clubs then voted on the issue.
Playing strength was not a significant factor. When Stoke Football Club's turn finally came (the clubs appear to have gone in alphabetical order), their representative's main point was that the club had a ground that could hold 45,000 spectators. However, their position as founder members would have held them in good stead too. Coventry withdrew their application, and the outcome was decisive: Leicester Fosse 33, Stoke 21, South Shields 11, Chesterfield Town 8, Darlington 4, Glossop 1.
Stoke Football Club Re-Elected
Stoke Football Club was therefore elected to the Football League, although it was not until August 1919 that they could take their place. Like many clubs, Stoke Football Club seems to have almost ignored the war despite this dominated life in the town. When pressed, towards the end of November 1914, the club produced a list of 15 players who had enlisted; not, however, 15 current players but 15 men who had played for the club in the last three seasons.
Ray, only one of these was a current player, being the regular outside right for the reserve team. That, it seems, is how it remained until the season ended when several players did enlist, including Reg Forrester (Mounted Machine Gun Section), Arthur Watkin (Transport Section), and Briscoe (the reserve team center-forward). Apart from this, most players who served in the military during the war were conscripted. Goalkeeper Dick Herron managed to hold this off at a tribunal in March 1917 due to his work as a blacksmith in a local colliery but was called up in the autumn. Unfortunately, he was later killed in action fighting with the Sherwood Foresters on 19 September 1918.
The only other fatality from the players from 1914-15 was Stan Ripley, who had made a solitary Southern League appearance during the season, otherwise turning out for the 'A' and reserve teams. He died on 10 March 1917. Two wartime players, Tom Kinson and George Limer, also lost their lives.
Players conscripted included Harry Hargreaves, George Turner, Billy Tompkinson, Charlie Parker, and George Clarke. Hargreaves was reported as being a prisoner of war in October 1918 while Turner lost a leg, ending his career.
Stoke Football Club took their place in the wartime emergency competitions, attracting 7,000 fans to their opening game with Preston North End in September 1915. Had they not been elected back into the Football League, they may have faced serious problems as to their future existence.
Gates throughout the country were down significantly, and while many clubs cut their wage bill to match their reduced income, Stoke Football Club does not appear to have done so. The season may have been successful on the pitch. Still, financially it was a different story, and a substantial loss of over £2,300 was made, leaving the club in deficit to the tune of almost £3,000 – significant amounts for this period.
Stoke Football Club Name Changed
In 1919, the club acquired the Victoria Ground. Shortly afterward, the Butler Street stand was constructed, increasing the ground's capacity to 50,000. Stoke Football Club won promotion from the Football League Second Division in the 1921–22 season under the stewardship of Arthur Shallcross but was relegated the following season. Stoke-on-Trent was granted city status in 1925, which resulted in the club changing its name to Stoke City Football Club.

Sign up for TSA Precheck at some NFL games
October 23, 2017 Harriet BaskasSecurityNFL, TSA, TSA PreCheck, TSA PreCheck enrollment centers
Football fans fumbling over where to sign-up for the Transportation Security Administration's security checkpoint shortcut program – called TSA PreCheck – can now take care of that task during NY Jets and San Francisco 49ers home games at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey and Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, respectively.
The NY Jets and the San Francisco 49ers are the first to partner with identity-verification company Idemia to bring the IdentoGO technology and the PreCheck verification program to sports stadiums.
In the next few weeks, more sports teams are expected to join the program, which also provides some biometric-based technology that can enable 'trusted fan' programs to be deployed at some stadiums.
For now, Jets fans (ticketed or just tailgating) seeking to enroll in PreCheck will find a branded IdentoGo recreational vehicle parked at the MetLife entrance (between parking Lots E and F) on game days.
San Francisco 49ers fans on the west coast will need to be ticketed for the day's home game to access the IdentoGoRV, which will be parked along the vendor-rich "Faithful Mile" (at the Green Parking Lot 1- Gate C).
Applying for TSA PreCheck costs $85 (and is good for 5 years) and the in-person ID verification process can take place at 44 airports, Virginia Department of Motor Vehicle offices or at a wide out-of-airport IdentoGo locations
But signing up at these football stadiums will come with a small bonus.
In addition to the time-savings for sports fans, those who sign up at New York Jets home games will receive a $20 gift certificate that can be used inside the stadium towards beer, food and merchandise. Fans who sign up at either stadium will also get an approved clear plastic bag that can be used to take items in the stadium.
The San Francisco 49ers PreCheck sign-up program kicked this past this weekend, but response to the program at NY Jets home games has been so positive that IdentoGo had to scramble to double on-site enrollment capacity after the first game.
Who gets your $85 and can you skip that fee?
According to TSA, the $85 fee a traveler pays to apply for the PreCheck program breaks down this way:
The vendor – IdentoGo is currently the exclusive provider of TSA PreCheck – gets $34.50, which TSA says, is used for staffing, leases, infrastructure, web, network, materials, equipment, mobile events, call centers and other services for the all the application sites around the country.
Later this year or next, TSA says it plans to issue a request for proposals from other companies that want to bid to provide this service.
$12.50 is the FBI's Fee.
The balance of the fee goes to TSA, which uses its portion for administration of the application program.
For those who would like to avoid paying the fee, there are about a dozen credit cards (including selected brands of American Express, MasterCard, Visa and Diners Club) that offer a fee credit for the TSA PreCheck (and Global Entry) program and several airlines and hotel brands, including United Airlines, Hilton, IHG, Marriott and Carlson Rezidor, that allow members to pay for the program with mile or points.

McDavid's first NHL hat trick helps Oilers snap losing streak
By Cam TuckerNov 19, 2016, 10:25 PM EST
What scoring drought? What losing streak?
Connor McDavid took care of his recent individual slump, which had reached 10 games, by scoring his first career NHL hat trick to help the Edmonton Oilers to a 5-2 win over the Dallas Stars on Saturday.
For the Oilers, who made some significant changes to the lineup, with the NHL debut of Drake Caggiula, this snaps a five-game losing streak that followed an otherwise great start to their season.
It also puts the Oilers back into a tie with the Anaheim Ducks in points (21) for top spot in the Pacific Division.
McDavid busted out of his slump in the first period, as his cross-ice pass for Milan Lucic deflected in off the stick of Stars defenseman John Klingberg.
"Three pretty lucky goals… It's puck-luck I guess. You go to the net and good things happen," said McDavid, per the Oilers.
With this win, the Oilers were able to salvage two points from this three-game road trip through California and Texas.
They host the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday, so consider that another difficult test for an Oilers team looking to prove it can contend for the playoffs.


Our inventory of vacation rentals are situated for those looking to ski Summit Powder Mountain, Snowbasin Resort, Nordic Valley and Whisper Ridge Cat Skiing. Currently, we do not offer accommodations within a close proximity to the other resorts listed here.
*Snow report totals are not up to date and do not reflect actual accumulation.
Snowbasin Resort is one of the most professionally run ski resorts in the world and is known by locals as 'the best kept ski secret in the USA'. A skier's paradise, this powder magnet combined with the quality of staff and services is second to none. There's no on-mountain lodging accommodations leaving the world-class terrain virtually untouched..
Although Snowbasin is one of the oldest ski resorts in the country, there's very little that resembles it's historic past. Even the iconic Wildcat Lift has been replaced with a new, comfortable upgrade. The entire docket of lifts at the resort includes a tram to the ridge overlooking Ogden, two gondolas, and an express quad. The extravagant day lodges, shuttles from the parking lot, gourmet spread served daily, and the professional staff provide a luxury ski experience. The resort uses state of the art snowmaking techniques but with an average of 400 inches of snow per year, Mother Nature does most of the heavy lifting.
Snowbasin was home to the 2002 Olympic men's and women's downhill courses. The resort also hosted the 2011 and 2012 Dew Tour. A recent readers resort survey ranked Snowbasin #1 for lifts, #2 for on-mountain food, and #3 for service. Snowbasin boasts 2,959 vertical feet of ski trails with 104 runs; 7 percent novice terrain, 29 percent intermediate, 34 percent expert, and 30 percent expert only.
They also offer three terrain parks and a tubing hill to offer a more complete experience. With the onsite snowsports learning center and equipment rental shop, guests at Snowbasin receive exceptional service.
Summer activities at Snowbasin include full moon gondola rides, miles of mountain biking, mountain tours, discovery dining food pairings, Sunday brunch, and the Blues Brews & BBQ Sunday Concert Series. It's also the site of the XTERRA Pan Am National Championships each year.
Powder Mountain, more affectionately known as "Pow Mow," was recently rated as the #1 Value in North America by Ski Magazine readers. This largely undiscovered resort features all natural snow and none of that man-made stuff. Powder Mountain recently added two new lifts bringing it's total skiable acres to 8,464 on 167 runs. The resort offers some amazing amenities that would cost you a small fortune at other ski areas.
First, for a nominal fee of around $20 a person, their snow cat skiing service provides access to the top of Lightning Ridge which provides over 700 challenging acres of pristine skiing with an impressive 2,100' vertical drop. This service requires a prior reservation but is well worth the extra effort.
The second is Powder Country, offering about 1200 acres of untouched goodness. And it's all considered 'in-bounds.' This section has all the thrill of backcountry skiing without the hiking or navigating since it all leads to one place where a team of buses haul you back to the base. The resort also offers 2 terrain parks, a snow sports school, and both day and night skiing.
Summertime offerings at Powder Mountain include miles of mountain biking, the El Doce at Pow Mow mountain bike race, and the Music in the Mountains concert weekend.

They are well known for their respected ski school, which is responsible for teaching thousands of kids to ski and snowboard. Adults, children and families alike will enjoy Nordic's down-home vibe, fun terrain, and welcoming atmosphere. Nordic Valley features an expansive terrain park and a fat bike race series.
When the snow melts and the temperatures rise, it's time to start thinking about mountain biking, hiking, disc golf, concerts, and summer fun. Nordic Valley hosts The Spartan Race each August, an all day event pitting mere humans against a grueling trail run, intermingled with challenging obstacles. The resort also offers a summertime waterslide for all ages.
The guiding philosophy at Alta has been to provide a high quality skiing adventure for a competitive price. Alta has received accolades as an authentic and genuine experience for skiers only. Snowbaording is not permitted at the resort, which is one of three remaining areas in the United States to be a skier's only mountain.
The snow quality and overall satisfaction are consistently ranked at the top of Ski Magazine's Reader Resort. Alta, along with Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort, proudly celebrate creating America's first lift-served interconnect in 2001. Come and enjoy the excitement of the AltaSnowbird experience. With the AltaSnowbird "one ticket" skiers have access to 4700 acres.

Deer Valley also offers customized lodging with resort managed condominiums and private homes.

Deer Valley provides comfortable practicality in the little indulgences that turn a "trip" into an unforgettable ski vacation experience. To ensure a pleasurable skiing experience and shorter lift lines, the resort limits the amount of skiers to a certain capacity. A venue for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, Deer Valley still hosts the FIS Freestyle Ski World Cup.
A dynamic mix of beginner to expert terrain, Eagle Point Resort in Beaver, Utah offers a stunning alpine backdrop. You can't help but kick back and bath yourself in the sights and sounds the surrounding natural environment provides.

The Canyons Resort and Park City Mountain Resort recently merged by way of a $50 million capital improvement plan. This created one of the largest single ski resorts in the United States.

Some other improvements include a brand new restaurant called Miners Camp, improved snowmaking on Iron Mountain, a new six pack King Con Express lift and Motherlode Express quad.

Winter activities go beyond skiing and riding through Snowbird's 2,500 acres. Take a ride on the wild side and explore the backcountry via heli-skiing, snowcat skiing, and snowmobile tours. Or, slow down and experience The Bird on snowshoes.
But skiing isn't the only thing ranking high by visitors of this world-class resort. Snowbird provides an equally impressive experience off the slopes, resulting in ski vacations as memorable as the mountain. Four lodges conveniently tucked away in the resort's pedestrian village provide guests with easy access to the facilities.

Tunisian crochet has been on my list for a while now of "things to try" – I think it was Car who introduced me to it (oh come on, like THAT surprises anyone?), after we had a conversation about poor confuzzled husbands who weren't quite sure what was crochet, what was knitting, and what the difference between the two was. Which was about the point the concept of Tunisian crochet came into the conversation, being a bit of a mix of the two. And of course, two days later, Car just HAPPENED to find a set of hooks at a too-good-not-to price at Lincraft. But alas, I have no local Lincraft. But then, on holidays, we were in Townsville, and "needed" to go to BCF. Which was in the same complex as Lincraft – which suddenly I "needed" to visit as well. And guess what fell in my basket? Oh what a shame. A quick instagram of my haul, and it seemed Bee was keen to join the bandwagon…which left our little Alley Cat the odd kitten out, but between you and me, I think she's wavering. We are useful enabler friends like that.
I had a little ball of orange yarn I'd picked up cheaply at BigW to make into a scarf for Boy2, so I figured that was as good a place as any to start. A quick google and Pinterest search lead me to this great tutorial at Moogly, and then I was off and racing! I ended up being a bit concerned I might run out of yarn, so I grabbed another ball of the same orange when we were next near a BigW. I'm not super fast on it yet, but I'm enjoying the change in technique and finish from normal crochet.
Today has been an odd-job-get-ready-for-baby day. The overnight bag is still in progress but inching closer. Boy2 was home from preschool unwell, so a movie day for both he and Butterfly bought me some bonus sewing time. We've snuggled a bit and chatted a bit and wandered in the sunshine for a bit, run a few errands and generally laid low. This bag is in my sights to be done this week. Plus the AJ Dragon that I am determined to get off in the post before baby. My cowl needs blocking and my nesting urges are in high gear. All in all, a fine headless chook impression I'm doing, really. Time to make a list and start at the beginning, and learn to let go.
Enjoy! It's a bit tricky getting used to the long hooks, but always fun to try something new!

'From the Top' Names Peter Dugan Permanent Host, Vijay Gupta, Tessa Lark, Charles Yang and Others Co-Hosts
January 24, 2020, 12:06 AM · From the Top, the weekly National Public Radio program that features the voices and talents of young classical musicians, has named pianist Peter Dugan as permanent host, beginning with the 2020-2021 season.

From the Top also has formed a team of co-hosts that includes violinist Vijay Gupta, violinist Tessa Lark, clarinetist Alex Laing, pianist Orli Shaham, and violinist Charles Yang. Gupta, Lark, Laing and Yang will be featured on-air as co-hosts with Peter Dugan, and Shaham will solo guest-host. All will interview and collaborate with the From the Top young musicians. They will also serve as mentors, involved in leadership training, community engagement, and career development programs. As strategic and collaborative partners, their insight and experience will help to inform future development of From the Top.
From the Top was started in 1999 as a radio program to give young classically-trained musicians a national platform and recognition. It was hosted for nearly 20 years by pianist Christopher O'Riley, who both interviewed the young musicians and performed with them. In October 2018 O'Riley's contract was not renewed, and since that time the show has been hosted by guest hosts, including Dugan.
"Being a guest host on From the Top these past two seasons has been incredibly rewarding," Dugan said. "The young musicians inspire me, not just with their dazzling virtuosity, but more importantly, with their sincere artistry and humanity, and their unbridled passion for their craft.
Dugan has a long history with From the Top, having first performed on the show in 2007, when he was 18.
"It meant so much to me to join the From the Top family when I first performed on the show as a teenager," Dugan said. "I'm truly honored and humbled now to step into the role of permanent host and, with the help of our brilliant co-hosts and creatives, to continue From the Top's tradition of empowering the next generation of great musicians by sharing their music and their stories with listeners across the country."
Dugan has collaborated with musicians such as violinists Itzhak Perlman, Joshua Bell, Philippe Quint, Charles Yang and soprano Renee Fleming, among many others. He has bachelor's and master's degrees from The Juilliard School, where he studied with Matti Raekallio. He live in New York City with his wife, mezzo-soprano Kara Dugan, and serves on the piano faculty at the Juilliard School Evening Division. He's also a Yamaha Artist.

Biden signs $40 billion in US aid for Ukraine during Asia trip
By Aamer Madhani and Chris Megerian

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - President Biden on Saturday signed legislation to support Ukraine with an additional $40 billion in U.S. assistance as the Russian invasion approaches its fourth month.
The legislation, which was passed by Congress with bipartisan support, deepens the U.S. commitment to Ukraine at a time of uncertainty about the war's future. Ukraine has successfully defended Kyiv, and Russia has refocused its offensive on the country's east, but American officials warn of the potential for a prolonged conflict.
The funding is intended to support Ukraine through September, and it dwarfs an earlier emergency measure that provided $13.6 billion.
The new legislation will provide $20 billion in military assistance, ensuring a steady stream of advanced weapons that have been used to blunt Russia's advances. There's also $8 billion in general economic support, $5 billion to address global food shortages that could result from the collapse of Ukrainian agriculture and more than $1 billion to help refugees.
Biden signed the measure under unusual circumstances. Because he's in the middle of a trip to Asia, a U.S. official brought the bill on a commercial flight to Seoul for the president to sign, according to a White House official.

The logistics reflect a sense of urgency around continuing U.S. support for Ukraine, but also the overlapping international challenges facing Biden. Even as he tries to reorient American foreign policy to confront China, he's continuing to direct resources to the largest conflict in Europe since World War II.
Biden also signed an unrelated measure, one intended to increase access to baby formula at a time when supplies remain scarce in the United States. The legislation will allow government benefits from the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children — better known as WIC — to be used to buy more types of infant formula.
