Outlook for Killigrew
Who are the Governing Body?
The Governing Body consists of a group of people who offer the school different areas of expertise. They ensure the school provides a good all-round education for all pupils. All governors are unpaid voluntary members taken from the local community.
Chair of Governors: Mr S. Green (s.green@killigrew.herts.sch.uk)
Miss Mylotte, head teacher of the school sits on the Board of Governors in a voluntary capacity.
Find out more about our governors here:
Steve Green (Chair of Governors)
I have been a governor since September 2015, and have girls in years 5 and 3 (I also previously had a son here who is now in year 8). I started off as a parent governor, but became Chair of Governors in September 2018, and currently sit on the Resources Committee and the school Data Working Party.
Having been the first in my family to stay in education post 16, I understand the benefit that a good education can bring, and am passionate in ensuring all children get access to great teaching. I ended up studying History at Warwick University, and since then have worked in a large number of IT and data roles. I am really keen to not just ensure kids get good academic teaching, but that they are also taught how to be valuable members of the community. Killigrew is a great school that provides this mix of skills, and I am proud of how the teaching staff keep pushing themselves to achieve better outcomes for the children.
Shai Popat
I am a parent governor and have two boys in Year 6 and 3 respectively.
I have a degree in Business, Law and German and have spent the last 25 years working in the financial markets. I currently lead a financial data business for a stock exchange.
I became a governor because I am passionate in the belief that we must create a safe and fun environment in which our children, whatever their background, can flourish and be fully prepared for a demanding future. As Chair of the School Effectiveness Committee and a link governor for Pupil Premium and Special Educational Needs, I hope to be able to contribute to making a great school even better.
Amanda Jackson
I have been a parent governor at Killigrew since September 2016. I am Vice-Chair and link governor for Health and Safety, Safeguarding Children and Governor Training and Development. I also serve on the School Effectiveness Committee and Resources Committee.
I studied at the London School of Economics and Liverpool University and have degrees in Geography and Civic Design. I have over thirty years of experience in local government and currently work for a large central London local planning authority.
Being a Killigrew governor is a very fulfilling and enjoyable role, working with the other governors and Head Teacher to ensure that Killigrew is a safe and happy learning environment where every child receives support, guidance and encouragement to help them achieve their full potential.
Giles Fry
I am a parent governor of two children in Year 1 and 2.
I attended a Grammar School in Portsmouth, where I was brought up and gained a Degree in Hospitality from Brighton University. I now run my own company from St Albans and live with my wife in Park Street.
Being a Governor allows me to get involved in this fantastic school and really support the Head and amazing teaching staff. This support, then allows for all the children to grow and flourish, in an environment that nurtures all, no matter what ability or background.
I am married with 2 children, Oliver who has just taken his GCSE's and Emily who has completed the second year of her natural sciences degree at Durham University. We also have 2 Airedales that require walking twice a day. I am a Chartered Accountant and Chartered Architect with 39 years experience, currently working as Finance Director for a family owned Property Group. I was an elected Parent Governor at Killigrew Infants in 2004 when my children were at the school. I am now a co-opted governor and am the chair of the Resources Committee. I am also serving as an elected parent governor at Parmiter's, which is one of the destination schools for our Year 6's.I believe that I can serve the school utilising my architectural, accounting and significant governance experience.
Gordon Baisley
I am the Local Authority Governor for Killigrew having been nominated by Herts Governor Services. My term started in March 2018. I am a member of the Full Governing Body and the School Effectiveness Committee, and link governor for Eco School and Maths.
I have a BA(Hons) in Management Science and MSc in IT for Management. My career was in a variety of IT Management roles, laterally as Director of QA for a large Financial Services Company, before leaving to establish my own business based in St Albans five years ago.
I am a parent of three boys aged 10, 8 and 5 who all attend Alban City School (ACS) where I am also a Parent Governor and Chair of the Resources Committee. In working in St Albans I found the removal of commute gave me time to get involved in the community and with three young children, School Governor was something I had connection to and interest in. I was elected at ACS in 2016. I volunteered to Herts Governor Services to join another school as I felt this would give me more perspective, improve my knowledge and capability, and see me offer more value to both schools as well as transferring ideas between the two. This has felt the case and involvement in both schools is rewarding and complementary.
Alison Game
I am a parent governor; my eldest son is currently in Year 1 and my youngest son will hopefully be joining Reception in September 2021.
I attended the University of Nottingham where I studied Geography, before completing a PGCE and Masters in Education at Cambridge University. Following my studies, I moved to St Albans and began teaching geography in a local secondary school. I then met my husband and settled in this area.
During my initial years of teaching, I became interested in special education needs and decided to specialise in this area, firstly training as a Specialist Teacher and then as a Special Educational Needs Coordinator.
Over recent years, I have worked in both the state and private sectors leading special educational needs provisions. Currently I work in a local secondary school as a Specialist Assessor.
I became a parent governor as I am keen to be involved with this great community school and am passionate that all students have access to a full and rewarding experience at school, with their strengths celebrated and support provided where necessary. I am the link governor for Special Education Needs and part of the School Effectiveness Committee.
Anna Iskandar
I became a parent governor in September 2020 and I have two girls in Years 4 and 6 respectively.
I am a primary school teacher by trade, and I've taught across all year groups from Nursery to year 6 in my 20 years of teaching in Northamptonshire and Hertfordshire. I'm an experienced Special Educational Needs and Disability Coordinator (SENDCo) and this, coupled with my love for working in Early Years, has led me to current role of Early Years Specialist Advisory Teacher.
Being a Governor at Killigrew enables me to be part of a fantastic team in what I really believe is a wonderful school. As part of the School Effectiveness Committee, I have a link role with the Early Years and Foundation Stage (EYFS). I hope I will be able to put my experience in education to good use to ensure that we provide a happy, safe learning environment for our children.
Our other governors are:
Faith Beames (Staff governor)
Jenny Davison (Parent governor)
Karen Morley (Associate governor)
Tracy Mylotte (Head teacher)
The Governing Body divides into smaller committees. These are:
The Resources Committee
Chair: Mr. M. Smith
The committee considers all personnel matters that arise. They are responsible for reviewing the staffing structure and are also responsible for finances and budget.
They monitor the budget and ensure that spending always has an impact on the children's learning. The committee ensures that the school buildings are kept in good repair. Examples of this include playground works and complying with the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act.
School Effectiveness Committee
Chair: Mr S. Popat
This committee has the task of reviewing the curriculum that is being taught in the school, ensuring that all pupils are learning and progressing. During the year the committee reviews school policies.
Within the committees, working parties are often formed to review specific items. At present, a working party is reviewing school data to evaluate strengths and weaknesses. During the year the Headteacher has her performance reviewed by members of the Governing Body, assisted by an external advisor.
The role of the Governing Body is to work with the school to raise standards. This is done by agreeing school aims and values, reviewing policies and gathering evidence.
I hope this information is interesting and helps you to understand who we are and what the Governing Body does for your child and their school.
If you have a concern about your child please speak to your child's class teacher or the head teacher. Usually, any problems are resolved without the involvement of the Governing Body.
Governing Body Statement of Behaviour Principles
We believe that everyone involved with our school community has rights and responsibilities to ensure that teaching and learning take place effectively. This includes governors, staff, pupils and parents. As governors, we share the responsibility of ensuring high standards of behaviour. Our duty of care encompasses the promotion of behaviour which is positive, reflects our school values and underpins the safety and security of the learning environment.

Home / GERMAN AUTOGRAPHED: / OFFICER'S PROMOTION PATENT FROM HAUPTMANN TO MAJOR SIGNED BY KAISER WILHELM I
OFFICER'S PROMOTION PATENT FROM HAUPTMANN TO MAJOR SIGNED BY KAISER WILHELM I
SKU: 31-96
Promotion in peacetime has always been slow in any army. Imperial Germany's Army was no different. This patent is for a man who was promoted from a hauptmann to a major. It took twelve years to happen. The officer involved was named von Münstermann. As a hauptmann, he had served in Holsteinisches Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr 24. The regiment was founded in 1872 and garrisoned at Güstrow and Neustrelitz. The regiment was interesting because it contained a single batterie that was populated by officers and men from Mecklenburg-Strelitz. [As an aside, I must point out the kugelhelme for this batterie are very rare. Several years ago I sold one of its mint officer's helmets for more than $20,000. It was/is probably the finest kugelhelm in existence (in my experience)]. Von Münstermann was assigned to Feldartillerie-Regiment von Peucker (1. Schlesisches) Nr 6. This famed regiment was founded in 1808 and garrisoned in Eastern Prussia's Breslau. The promotion document was signed by Kaiser Wilhelm I in Berlin on 22 March 1887. The Kaiser's signature is large and bold. The House of Hohenzollern's embossed seal appears below his name. The document measures 14″ x 8 ½." The document is folded in half one way, and into thirds the other way. It is in mint condition.

PROMOTION PATENT – OFFICER'S TO HAUPTMANN der RESERVE – SIGNED BY KAISER WILHELM II
This is a high-quality Feldartillerie officer's promotion patent in beautiful condition. His name was Spielberg. The document is two sided and measures 8 ½" x 14 1/4." The second page bears Kaiser Wilhelm II's bold black-ink signature, as well as a Hohenzollern Eagle-embossed seal. Spielberg was promoted from the rank of Oberleutnant der Reserve to that of Hauptmann der Reserve. This seems a bit unusual to me, a Hauptmann who was a reservist, primarily because I have not encountered one before. Chances are he had been in the Army for some time, and had been a reservist even longer! The document was signed by Wilhelm II at the Neues Palais (New Palace) on 18 June 1908. The document is in excellent condition, still fresh and crisp after more than one-hundred plus years. I am especially pleased by the signature of Kaiser Wilhelm II. It is quite large, 2 3/4″ x 5 1/4."
PRUSSIA – THANK YOU CARD – KAISERIN HERMINE- CONCERNING KAISER WILHELM II'S DEATH – SIGNED
Kaiser Wilhelm was born in 1859, then died on 4 June 1941. He and the other German royals abdicated in November 1918. Shortly afterwards (still in 1918), Wilhelm II left Germany for the final time. He lived the balance of his life exiled at Haus Doorn, in the Netherlands. His beloved wife, Auguste Viktoria, passed away in 1921. She was returned for burial in Berlin….

Kaiser Wilhelm was born in 1859, then died on 4 June 1941. He and the other German royals abdicated in November 1918. Shortly afterwards (still in 1918), Wilhelm II left Germany for the final time. He lived the balance of his life exiled at Haus Doorn, in the Netherlands. His beloved wife, Auguste Viktoria, passed away in 1921. She was returned for burial in Berlin. The year after her death, Wilhelm married the recently-widowed Hermine, former Princess of Reuss (1887-1947). Some of the former Kaiser's children were unhappy with the marriage because she was the nearly the same age as she was. By all accounts, however, they were a happy couple. She survived Wilhelm by only six years.
The Kaiser was buried on Haus Doorn's grounds in a special mausoleum. [Many of the Kaiser's pet Daschunds also are buried on the lawn, between his mausoleum and the house]. Many high-ranking officials from the former Reich came to pay their respects. One of the best-known was Generalfeldmarschall August von Mackensen. He laid his overcoat over his Kaiser's casket. [Mackensen had been Wilhelm II's favorite. The Kaiser had done much to advance von Mackensen's career over more senior men].
After Wilhelm II's death Hermine sent note cards in response to the condolences she had received from certain people. These cards measured 3 3/8″ x 5 1/8." They were bordered in black, very simply composed, and personally signed by Hermine. This particular card is dated June 1941, and was sent from Doorn. Hermine returned to Germany after Wilhelm died to live out the balance of her life.
OFFICER'S PROMOTION PATENT – LIEUTENANT TO HAUPTMANN – SIGNED BY KAISER WILHELM I
This is a promotion patent in fine condition for a young man by the name of von Münstermann. He was promoted from Premier Lieutenant (Oberleutnant) to Hauptmann. In his new role he was a Batterie Chef (Commander) in 1. Westfälisches Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr 7. The regiment was founded in 1816. It was garrisoned at Wesel-Düsseldorf and assigned to the VII. ArmeeKorps. The document measures 14 ½" x 9." It was boldly signed in black ink by Kaiser Wilhelm I on 14 December 1875. Directly under Wilhelm I's signature we see the House of Hohenzollern's embossed royal seal. The document has been folded in half one way, and into thirds the other. The document is complete, but has some separation in one fold. This does not cause a problem in viewing any part of the document or the signature. It is a fine example of a document that is more than one-hundred-thirty-five years old.

Prior to the start of Computex 2016, Acer has launched its new product range, including a number of IoT devices, laptops, notebooks, monitors, and a new cheap phone with a massive battery.
Taiwanese hardware manufacturer Acer has taken the wraps off a number of products that it will be showcasing at Computex 2016.
Leading the way is the Liquid Zest Plus, a 5.5-inch smartphone running Android Marshmallow packing a 5,000mAh battery that the company says is worth up to three days' usage without recharging. The handset also has fast-charging ability to regain 50 percent of its charge in less than an hour.
The Liquid Zest Plus will be available in North America and EMEA in July, with prices starting at $199 and €199, respectively.
On the small business front, the company announced two TravelMate P2 notebooks aimed at the sector.
Available in 14-inch and 15.6-inch sizes, the notebooks pack a Skylake-based Intel processor, can have up to 32GB of memory, and use Nvidia GeForce 940M discrete graphics. New for the P2 series, the notebook will ship with Windows 10, and while storage was not mentioned, the P2s traditionally use spinning rust drives.
The TravelMate P2 series will hit Europe and China in August, with pricing from €429 and ¥3,999, respectively, while North America is slated for the fourth quarter from $599.
At the lower end, the company also has a pair of 10-inch multi-touch 2-in-1 notebooks powered by Intel's Atom processors. The USB-C using Switch V 10 will launch in China in August from ¥2,599, and arrive in North America in the third quarter from $249. While the cheaper Switch One 10 will be available from July in North America with prices beginning at $199, €249 will be starting price in Europe from July, and it will arrive in China in September from ¥2,299.
For its Internet of Things push, Acer has decided to run with the moniker BeingWare, after deciding IoT needed to become human-centric and hence an "Internet of Beings".
The abMax01 is a cellular car module which the company said will help with fleet management and the collection of big data.
"The module accommodates an integrated SIM card to give IT managers flexibility in bringing existing hardware systems to the cloud, and allows them to deploy over-the-air software and firmware updates in both commercial and consumer-use scenarios: Automobile navigation map updates, gaming machine updates, new songs on karaoke machines, and music player systems," Acer said in a statement.
Acer has also decided to show off its IoT credentials in some eyebrow-raising ways.
"A bread maker is in this year's lineup to demonstrate how consumers can use the cloud to start their favourite recipe so it is ready and fresh by the time they wake up, and also fine-tune the taste to their liking with recipes from the cloud," the company said.
"A smart tracker can help users keep tabs on their loved ones, be it elders, children, or even pets, with geo-fencing alerts to know when they wander off-limits, and an emergency button to call for help when needed."
Earlier this month, Acer revealed it had suffered a 73.4 percent profit drop for its first quarter.
The company reported profit after tax of NT$46 million from NT$173 million the year prior, while it posted revenue of NT$56.3 billion representing a drop of 17 percent.
During CES earlier this year, the company released a slew of PC products, as it continued to deepen its commitment to Google Chrome's operating system.
Computex 2016 officially kicks off on Tuesday.

Individual and Social Holons
Individual and Social Holons 2004-05-29 18:08
On Blog of Collective Intelligence Jean-Francois Noubel mentioned an interview with Ken Wilber where he talks about the distinction between individual and social holons:
Briefly: individual holons are holons with a subjective interior (prehension, awareness, consciousness); they have a defining pattern (code, agency, regime) that emerges spontaneously from within (autopoietic); and they have four drives (agency, communion, eros, agape). Examples of individual holons (or compound individuals) include quarks, atoms, molecules, cells, organisms....
Social holons emerge when individual holons commune; they also have a defining pattern (agency or regime), but they do not have a subjective consciousness; instead, they have distributed or intersubjective consciousness. Examples include galaxies, planets, crystals, ecosystems, families, tribes, communities.... Both individual and social are holons, and they both follow the twenty tenets. Actually, individual and social holons are not different entities, but different aspects of all holons, since all holons have an interior and an exterior in singular and plural forms (the four quadrants), but they are indeed different aspects that cannot be merely equated.
And as he points out, when you confuse these with each other, it becomes a mess. Example: when you decide to lift your arm, and you lift it, all the cells in your arm go along. None of them decide to disagree and go somewhere else. They are parts of your arm, and subject to your centralized will. But a society works very differently. People are not parts, but members, with their own individual wills. Rulers with fascistic tendencies will often try to make society work as if its members are parts that simply are cogwheels that have to go along with the program, and that never really works.
The idea is that an individual holon has a coherent sentience, whereas a social holon is some kind of collaborative negotiation between its members.
Of course all holons have both aspects at the same time. The point is to not confuse the roles with each other, or it becomes apples and oranges.
Now, he's right of course, and it is as usual a brilliant way of putting it. But it also makes me think.
In a society, yes, it obviously isn't just a top-down hierarchy, no matter what kind of fascist police state dictator is trying to run it. But groups still act in many ways as individual holons. Just not in that predictable one-dimensional manner.
If a thousand people decide to do the same thing at the same time. Like go to a concert, or do some kind of smart mob happening. All the people who showed up are the people who showed up. 100%. To act as a unit, there's really no requirement that the component parts have been ordered in advance to do so by one of the units. When you lift you arm, most of the time it would be impossible to pinpoint exactly where that order came from, and what or who exactly made it. You lift you arm, because it somehow seems right at the time. Millions of cells getting in sync is what happens and various other faculties being in sync with that, including some kind of mental meaning and maybe idea of causality. Likewise, a thousand people find themselves in the same place at the same time, because it somehow seemed right and they were in-sync. Thus any concerted group action carries aspects of being an individual holon. It is just a matter of a different kind of continuity and more dimensions to it. Next week some of the same people might show up as part of another group of thousand people, or some other number. And that in itself might be very coherent. The people who show up, show up. The people who don't, don't. That in itself is not subject to a lot of negotation or disagreement.
The atoms and the cells in your arm aren't the same as they were yesterday, so that analogy breaks down quickly as well.
The model that a mental unit makes a decision and then some sort of body or body part carries it out - that's just too simple. For practical purposes, when I lift my arm, it might seem to work like that, and be practical to think of it that way. But it is really a lot more complicated than that. Or simple in a different way. For social systems, it doesn't work like that, so trying to make it so is a failed political ideology to start with.
Some kind of multi-dimensional swarm model might turn out more useful. The atoms in my body happen to be swarming in that format right now. But yesterday and tomorrow they're different. A hundred years ago, or a hundred years from now, those same atoms will be part of all sorts of different things in different places. At a sub-sub-atomic level it is even more wild. Particles zipping around between multiple universes and through different times. Nothing ever stays one unit, individual or social, for any meaningful length of time, if we look at it at that level.
Anyway, I think they're still useful distinctions. And part of the point of Jean-Francois's post was whether and how individual qualities scale up to social qualities.
For instance I recently asked myself whether a group of wise individual would emerge and act as a wise group. Or to put it in a more general frame, can a group benefit from the individual "social qualities" of its participants? My first reply was « yes », since we naturally advocate that if we want a group to have such or such quality, individuals need to get these qualities first. Then the second reply that came to my mind was: "maybe not"...
A group of smart people doesn't necessarily become smart. A group of people with the best of qualities, well-intentioned, experienced, might or might not become useful. Often, what the group is, and how functional or successful it is, doesn't relate directly to the qualities of its members. Or, rather, we often can't guess at the relationship between the individuals and the group.
On a more practical perspective, is it possible to envision emerging properties as the result of the mastering of these properties at an individual level? Do these properties have to be value-oriented? Will a group of wise individuals turn into a wise group or can it turn in a global mess with umpredictable side effects?
Maybe there could be ways of individually mastering certain qualities, which then translate into emergent properties of a very well functioning group. It probably just isn't the kind of qualities we normally would cultivate individually. A different kind of qualities.
Some people typically do very well in being catalysts or collaborators in groups. But usually only in certain kinds of groups. If a person has well cultivated qualities and skills that match what fits with the other members and the group itself, then it works. But not in groups with very different kinds of members. Few people have any clue how to be part of the success of ANY group. And maybe the attempt of cultivating that would be the wrong way of looking at it. Oxygen and Hydrogen form water, and they can form certain other things too. But there are many more things they certainly can't form. There's no point in a Hydrogen atom trying to be a Uranium atom.
So, it might be more about how one finds who and what one fits with - the people and circumstances one will resonate with, and where collective intelligence will emerge - rather than trying to become a perfect component in everything possible.
And what fits might change from moment to moment. So it is about being able to find it right now. Right now there are some things you can do, some ways of doing it, some people to do it with, that would produce absolutely marvelous results, rather easily. The Flow. And there are lots more constellations that just wouldn't lead anywhere great. If you have pre-conceived over-simplified ideas about those having to work, it makes it worse. If you are flexible and multi-dimensional enough to be open to something different than you know, and your perceptions are keen enough to notice where the energetic point of leverage is right now, it might be very different. That's very different from what both individual and social holons were supposed to be about. It's neither. It's an ad-hoc holon willing to re-invent itself anytime. Being part of something bigger than itself, where there's the most synergy, action, excitement. And conscious enough to catch a different a better wave when it appears.

To me this story represents way too much snceod-guessing on both sides and not enough frank communications. First of all, I don't understand why didn't you simply ask the sales rep directly to explain how come she wasn't able to meet her sales target while the rest of her colleagues in the sales team were able to meet theirs? That would have been the beginning of a far more productive dialogue to pinpoint precisely what was causing her to under-perform over the last six months, rather than you as a boss simply presuming that it was all down to her relationship troubles and that she was just using excuses to hide that "fact". By not giving her the chance to confront the reality of the sales figures of the whole team you are denying her an opportunity for growth as well as being rather misogynistic in assuming that the reason a female sales rep may underperform must be due to boyfriend problems. If you don't accept her rationale that her underwhelming performance was due to a downturn in the market, etc., why didn't you say that to her face and explain your own reasons for why her excuses didn't wash with you. That way she would have been forced to confront her own shortcomings - after all, problem recognition is the first step to problem resolution. Or maybe you would find out that there was still a legitimate reason why she underperformed whilst the rest of her colleagues met their sales targets. And if you really have grounds to suspect that boyfriend troubles may be the root cause of all this, you or your right-hand-woman Kelly could have asked her tactfully but directly about it to see if she herself considered that to be the reason. Simply assuming that personal issues might have been the reason without giving the employee a chance to confirm or disconfirm the assumption herself is NOT the way to helping the emplooyee even if personal issues were indeed the problem. And why did you have to hide the fact that you had been trying to help her by rescheduling the call rota? Explaining to her beforehand that this was what you were going to do in an effort to help her increase her sales leads would have given her fair warning about the changes she was going to face, because otherwise it would have been simply seen as disruptive to the sales team who had no clue why the call rota was changed (which was perhaps partly the basis to her claim that the sales team felt they were being messed about by you as the boss).Also, even if you don't buy the story that her underperformance was to do with the market or the product, it would still have been helpful to really listen to her arguments rather than dismiss them out of hand. After all, she is a member of the frontline sales reps dealing directly with clients and competitors, and learning about the arguments being put forward by clients in declining your offerings would only be useful to the company ultimately. And perhaps if you have given her a chance and help her talk through the problems constructively, maybe you would discover that perhaps there is indeed a perception issue in some clients and maybe you need to change the sales propositions for some of your clients even though there's nothing wrong with the product itself, that the sales pitch that she had been using previously no longer worked and so the problem is not that she underperformed because of her boyfriend troubles but simply that she needed to change her sales tactics. What has transpired instead seems like a lost opportunity and you seemed to have just taken the path of least resistence by just getting rid of an underperforming sals rep who was formerly a star on the team. I'm not saying that you've necessarily made a bad decision by getting rid of her - she is underperforming, after all - but it looks like it could have been a much more INFORMED decision if a frank and serious dialogue has taken place.

I suspect you're right. In geranel I held my tongue, as I was coming along to listen and learn, not to be a snooty Catholic, but this pretty much caused me to throw my hands up in despair.Leaving aside theology, it seemed to contradict all I'd been told about their care in preaching.I'm pretty sure, given that we're in more or less the same neck of the woods, that you could make an educated stab at which church this was in, but I'll be nice and decline to say. ;)

A smart electrical outlet that allows customers to rent electricity by paying with Bitcoins.
Bitcoin and blockchain technology opened a whole lot of opportunities for paying for goods and services but the catch was that it wasn't fully automated because it lacked easy hardware integration support. However, it got easier with the release of the Koyn library. In short, the Koyn library allows your hardware like Arduino compatible boards to receive and send Bitcoin payments.
One application model for Bitcoin that interests me is pay per service, and one of many applications I decided to get my hands dirty on is renting electricity. So, I started building an electrical outlet that is powered by Bitcoin.
This project works on HIGH AC voltage which is quite dangerous. Your safety is your own responsibility, including proper use of equipment and safety gear, and determining whether you have adequate skill and experience. You must accept that you and you alone are responsible for your safety and the safety of others if you choose to build this project.
After deciding to get my hands dirty, it was time to sit down and write down how the device would work and what the sketch would look like.
The device will also include a 16 x 2 LCD to show its status.
The initial sketch of the device is shown below.
The first step was to choose a suitable microcontroller for this project.
I chose the Wemos D1 mini board, which is a mini WiFi board based on ESP8266EX. It is also supported by the Koyn library. To use the Koyn library, an SD card is required to save the blockchain headers and sync with the Bitcoin network. I used the data logger shield for Wemos with 8 GB micro SD card.
Note: You can use any micro SD card that has at least 1 GB of free space. for more info about the hardware requirements, you can check the Koyn library GitHub repository.
Next step was to find out how electrical consumption is measured and how to measure the electrical energy that the user will consume during his or her session.
Electricity is measured in KWH (Kilowatt-hour), which is a measure of the rate of electrical energy used multiplied by the length of time used.
To measure KWH, I used a current sensor module that measures the Amperage count that will be consumed at a time which is ACS-712.
Measuring AC current is not straightforward as measuring DC current. For more information about how to measure AC current using ACS-712, you can check the further reading section.
The third step was to collect the necessary hardware to add controllability to the device.
A generic 5V relay module to switch electricity on/off to the outlet. To control this module using the Wemos board, which is a 3.3V board, I used a transistor as a switch to map the 3.3V volt to 5V. You can basically use any MOSFET or BJT to do that, but in my case I used BC547 which is NPN BJT.
HLK-PM01 is a compact module that converts 100-240V AC to 5V DC. It is used to power up the components in this project like the relay module, current sensor and used with a 3.3 V regulator to power up the Wemos D1 mini board.
The LCD is going to show the device status and info relevant to the user like how much KWH he or she paid for, and how much KWH is left to use in percentage.
Since a generic 16 x 2 LCD will require a number of wires to control more than the Wemos support, I used a Serial I2C LCD daughter board module that enables you to control the LCD using the I2C protocol which is supported by the Wemos board.
1 / 3 • 16 X 2 LCD connection with I2C LCD Daughter Board Module & Wemos.
The push button gives the user the ability to end his session at any time and if there is a remaining quota the device will send back to the address he used to pay for the service an amount equals to the remaining quota in Satoshi.
I used a double layer hole PCB to connect everything together with some female headers and jumpers.
The final look of the ready hole PCB with the components soldered on it looked like this in my setup.
In the schematics section, you will find the complete connection of the hardware parts used in this project.
The code may look long but it's simple and pretty straightforward, am going to break it out to section and explain each section for ease of understanding.
I create two bitcoin address shells using BitcoinAddress class, The first one contains the private key of the device to allow spending/receiving of bitcoins and the second one is an empty shell to store the bitcoin address of the payee later.
Koyn.begin(); function starts the library by checking that the SD card is mounted, connecting to the servers and syncing with the network.
Koyn.onNewTransaction(&paymentCallback); is a call back function that executes the paymentCallback function when a transaction is received to one of the addresses that the koyn library is tracking.
The callback function retrieves the received amount by the device's address in the transaction then it checks if the received amount is equal to or greater than the minimum amount which is the price of one KWH and if this condition is achieved it calculates how much electrical power the payee have purchased. Then gives access to electricity to the outlet by toggling the state of the relay.
The magical function where everything happens from syncing, verifying, checking connectivity and managing data.
Koyn class checks if the device is synced with the network through Koyn.isSynced(); function and if it is synced it tracks the myAddress address.
getKWattage(); function runs in the main loop - when the startFlag is set to true - calculates the amount of electrical energy that is being consumed at the time it is called.
More about the logic behind this can be found in the further reading section.
When the device receives a valid payment and starts supplying electrical power it calculates the Kilo watts being consumed and every 10 minutes updates the KWH variable.
I attached the push button to an ISR to avoid the instance when the user pushes the button but the device is being synced with the network in Koyn.run(); function. Also, the ISR includes a software solution for the push button bouncing problem.
The rest is pretty straightforward, wifiConnect(); connects the Wemos board to your WIFI network and LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x3F, 16, 2); declares an LCD object that is controlled using IIC protocol.
Full code is attached in the attachments.
I used foam sheets to build the enclosure as it is easy to cut and form. For the artistic side of my team, we used vinyl stickers to add a nice look to the enclosure.

and the worship of the gods restored."
To make them feel our anger!
Kill! Kill! Cornuti hold the line!
Die! Die! Braccati give the slash!
When you are the best.
Silently the goddess has spoken... wake up!
Is it a curse or a fantasy?
Light the way, live to fight!
I shall live to fight!
Will you meet me in my sleep?
Under the fiction of a dead Nazarene?
The song of steely weaponry rings out!
Be near me now and befriend.
Sleep, shall we sleep after all?
The new years ruin and rend.
And her face with the foam of the tides.
And fed on the fullness of death.
And a goddess, and mother of Rome.
But she came flushed from the full-flushed wave, and imperial, her foot on the sea.
For a season in silence.
And sleep as they sleep; even so.
You, Dionysus? No, that can't be true!
Bacchus, the son of Zeus I know, not you!
He smells of nectar, you just smell of goats!
So you're less "Bacchus" than "Back-to-the-Earth,"
In flour, not fire your birth!
How bold you look behind your walls!
But to Rome that you are answering!
Ready I am to fight!
Leave my dreams, fade away?
Did I fail? Did I fall from grace?
Tireless, isn't death a reward?
To take my life so fast and let reason fall?
The fiction of men, shall it rule the world?

I'm trying something like this
I'm getting id dynamically into this variable  dynamicIdPassed
SELECT * FROM users WHERE id=dynamicIdPassed LIMIT dynamicIdPassed, 20

Thank's in Advance.

A: You have to set the value for stating index dynamically. Suppose in below query I have set 0 starting index for first page. Like for second page it would be 20*2 then for third page 20*3 and so on.
SELECT * FROM users limit 20 OFFSET 0;

Perfectly matched! These two words describe Drew Haisley's unique ability to match buyers to homes. My husband and I have had 3 transactions with Drew—2 purchases and one sale. She not only listened to what we wanted in a house, but was also able to discern and match our tastes and lifestyle to the homes she helped us purchase. She used that same ability to find us the perfect buyer for the house we sold. If you have a home to sell, Drew probably already knows of the perfect buyer for your house. If you want to purchase a home, Drew probably already knows the perfect house for you to buy.

Maxine Peake visiting Stockport for a book reading today
The actress will join film writer and director Carol Morley at Seven Miles Out for a reading of Carol's debut novel
Katherine Bainbridge
Star of stage and screen Maxine Peake is coming to Stockport today for a book reading.
The actress will be appearing with film director Carol Morley at the Seven Miles Out arts centre, on Market Place, for a reading of Carol's debut novel - which is appropriately named '7 Miles Out'.
The book cover for 7 Miles Out
Carol, who was born and brought up in Stockport, wrote and directed 'The Falling', a 2014 film starring Maxine alongside Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams.
Last year she was the special guest at Screen Stockport Film Festival, which is directed by Joe Barratt, whose family also run Seven Miles Out.
Carol Morley with Joe Barratt at Seven Miles Out
7 Miles Out is a fictional version of her childhood growing up in Heaton Chapel and tells the story of 'Ann' and her struggle to cope with the suicide of her father when she was 11-years-old, which sends her spiralling into self-destructive teenage years in hedonistic 1980s Manchester .
She also explores this topic in one of her earlier documentary films, 'The Alcohol Years', and with the release of her novel she is following in the footsteps of her brother Paul Morley, who wrote about his experiences growing up in Stockport in his books 'Nothing' and 'The North'.
Carol and Maxine will be at Seven Miles Out from 5.30pm today (Thursday, September 3), where Carol will also be signing copies of the book.
7 Miles out is published in paperback tomorrow.

AdEx Network Enters DeFi, Upgrades the ADX Token with Built-In Flash Loans Functionality
in Press releases
Paving the way for ADX to integrate with the DeFi ecosystem, AdEx Network upgraded its native token with new features, reduced gas costs and technical fixes.
Sofia, Bulgaria — August 11, 2020 – Adtech startup AdEx Network announced a successful deployment of its updated ADX token contract on the Ethereum network. The update won't won't directly affect the AdEx advertising platform but will pave the way towards a more secure backbone network.
AdEx was the first startup to release an open-source protocol for decentralized advertising. The protocol has grown to a full-featured platform for display advertising, connecting publishers and advertisers and processing more than 45 million monthly transactions, all settled on the Ethereum blockchain.
The native token ADX is used to stake on the AdEx platform against the reputation and uptime of validators, which process micropayments from advertisers to publishers. In 2020, AdEx rolled out a staking portal where everyone can stake ADX tokens and earn money by receiving a proportional share of the total transaction fees in DAI on the network.
Now the AdEx team is introducing new token economics for ADX to encourage staking by "security mining" – getting additional ADX yield while staking their tokens. 7M new ADX will be minted and distributed to active (bonded) stakers by the end of 2020 – 1M will be distributed between early birds who have staked before August 10th and the rest 6M will be distributed between all stakers until the end of the year.
With the announced upgrade, the ADX token becomes the first ERC20 token with built-in flash loans. This means that the ADX token smart contract will allow anyone to borrow ADX as long as they return them by the end of the Ethereum transaction. The feature opens various use cases of ADX in DeFi, such as arbitrage.
Ivan Manchev, Communications Specialist
About AdEx Network
AdEx Network is a new-generation solution aiming to address and correct some of the most prominent inefficiencies of the online advertising industry: ad fraud, lack of transparency in reporting, end user privacy misuse, etc.
AdEx originated in 2017 as a decentralized ad exchange and subsequently evolved into a full protocol for decentralized digital advertising. The protocol facilitates trading of advertising space/time, as well as the subsequent verification and proof of ad delivery. It covers all interactions between publishers, advertisers and end users. The protocol combines traditional peer-to-peer technology, cryptography and blockchain.
The AdEx team also develops an open source platform built on top of the Ethereum implementation of the protocol, available at https://platform.adex.network/.

Sisi season 2 getting extended even before streaming season 1 is the most fantastic news any fan can ever get. The chronicles of Sisi take you through the engaging life of Empress Elizabeth of Austria. This story is so enticing that season 2 has become part of fans' lives. The new season will start nerve-wracking since there is a lot to uncover. Moreover, the extension assured us that we would learn about the story from where it will leave in season 1. It is news to rejoice about because the release of Sisi season 2 is pretty close.
There won't be another long wait since we are spilling all the essential news surrounding the Sisi season 2 extension. Since there are a couple of release dates to follow to have proper knowledge, we are promising to leave behind no details.
Sisi Season 2 Release Date: When Is It Coming Out?
Sisi season 2 extension will be released on RTL+, and it will start streaming on 16th December 2022 and will air on TV channel VOX at 8.15 pm. Moreover, Sisi season 2 will drop as many as three episodes each on the 27th and 28th of December. It will stream again from 8.15 pm on RTL. Besides, Vox will also put the first season on repeat to give the audience a recap of what has happened. Since VOX is a free channel, you can watch the show for free without spending any money.
Sisi Season 2 Every Revealed Till Now
The show has yet to stream season 1. But it is still maintaining the Christmas tradition and keeping the tradition alive.
You can catch up with all the drama of the royals.
Sisi season 2 extension will enter a fresh chapter of the Empress Elizabeth of Austria, her love life, and the different facets of her life. However, the story of season 2 will be shown through the eyes of the empress's dearest confidants. In season 2, Sisi will need help between two men. But most importantly, after the birth of the son of Sisi and Franz, the joyous moment became highly stressful. The situation soon centered around the 'power struggles in Europe.' This will initiate many different private challenges evident among the couple.
Sisi season 2 will see Otto von Bismarck threatening to land Austria in new trouble, that is, war. It is a real struggle for Sisi, but she stays with her husband and people. Though the empress loves Franz with all her heart, she has to be diplomatic and tactful. Moreover, personal happiness is something other than luck for the empress. She lives a life similar to a bird trapped in a golden cage.
During her political mission to Hungary, she gets to see the simple life of the citizens of the Putza. It was here that she had her encounter with Count Andrássy, a person known for stealing horses. Sisi is now left to choose between her beloved husband, Franz, and the rebel she dearly connects with. So, who will she go with in season 2? The time has come that we get to know the whole story.

Yaupon/Cassine tea have you ever heard of it? Better yet, have you ever tried it? Most people would say, No, which is unfortunate because it is a wonderful beverage. While we start a series of postings about Yaupon/Cassine tea, we had a hard time at looking at a lot research and seeing confusion about it. We noticed from researching the subject matter just the of issue of simply naming the plant for which it came from and the anglo-europeanization of translating as into what it was and what it was called by the indigenous tribes of southeastern United States. To us at Hortfire LLC, we knew before we wrote about other details and where it fits into our portfolio of products, we needed to draw on a parallel in our country's not too distant past to help refocus the imagine of Yaupon/Cassine tea. We are doing this so that there is clarity and greater understanding.
While all our veterans of World War 1 are now deceased, there was a group of individuals whose work remained classified until 2002. They were the "Code Talkers." These were native Americans who served in the Army who provided communications in their native language. Before the use of the code talkers, Germans had broken every code and inflicted heavy casualties. Two native american officers and 18 Choctaw enlisted men were the first group to be formed. They were later joined by other native americans from different tribes to further expand a successful operation, because their code could never be broken. During World War II many more various members of the different tribes were enlisted and their actions again provided again successful.
We bring up the Code Talkers in particular, because from a historical point of view, it was not to long ago compared to the various writings from the 1600's to 1800's about Yaupon/Cassine Tea. Ancestors of those Choctaw code talkers cultivated and consumed Yaupon/Cassine tea way before DeSoto, others explorers, and settlers set foot in the Caribbean and south eastern North American landmass.
You might of notice that I refer to Ilex vomitoria L. common name as Yaupon/Cassine. While the next posting will go more in detail about the confusion of the scientific naming and even propose on changing it and another native holly's name, today we will focus on how and why calling it Yaupon or Cassine, is actually correct. Yes, that is right, if someone wants to refer to Ilex vomitoria L. by a common name, we should accept calling it either Yaupon or Cassine Holly. Why? Well, neither Yaupon or Cassine are actually words of "Old World" origin, they are anglicisation of native american words.
While we are not native speakers of any language from North America, we have family who are descendents of two of the tribes that Yaupon/Cassine was an integrated part of, Choctaw and Cherokee. So we want to put forward a simplified version of notable facts about the various tribes in a respectful manner. The old term,"a picture is worth a thousands words," rings true in this instance. We created this picture below taking from various information sources to easily point out why it should be acceptable common name of either Yaupon or Cassine.
While the upper distribution map was printed in 1891, you can see that for the time, the thought to be known distribution of Ilex vomitoria was specifically coastal throughout the southeast. The lower map was published in 1977 and later digitized for the United States Geological Service (USGS) with a more updated and accurate portrayal of the known distribution. Within the 1977 Little Map, we added an information layer as it related to the various tribes as they were collated by language. A more recent proposal of what exactly the language of the Cusabos spoke, conflicts with the previous acceptance that it was a dialect of Creek-Muskogean. One could hypothesizes that because of their "unknown" status, they may of spoke multiple languages or spoke a language that potential was a hybrid, but the more recent belief is that they spoke a unique language and they actually migrated from the Caribbean.
Currently, we have only found one reference to the Cherokee, who spoke an Iroquoian based language, yet it was just simply,"the beloved tree," without the actual native words or series of words.We don't know if or what the Saludian-Shawnee's relation to Yaupon/Cassine. It is possible that they used or consumed it, but we have yet to find any reference to such. We don't know if the Westoe/Yuchi used Yaupon/Cassine or what they called it, but we can see where a population of Yaupon/Cassine exists within their territory. We know that a Mr. Woodward lived with them for some time and that they had a "business" relationship with settlers of Charles Town, SC. Hopefully further research of Mr. Woodward's papers may shed more light on the matter.
What we do know about Creek-Muskogean speakers is that they were made of various tribes and also had various dialects. Some of those tribes still exist today, for example Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Seminole. The term "Assi" comes from Creek-Muskogean and is the shorten term for "Assi-lupub'ski" which means "small leaves." One can clearly see in the name CASSINE the word ASSI. Another word once used for a Creek-Muskogean tribe, Yamassi, clearly contains the word, Assi, but if you went by the modern day anglicization of that word, Yemassee, you see the changes and where misinformation begins.
Even tribes west of the Creek-Muskogean speakers have been noted for calling it Cassine, even though they spoke a different language. Could of this been a matter of trade or maybe linguistic relic of older common tribal relationship, we cannot say for sure at this time. We do know within the native distribution range of Ilex vomitoria L from Texas to the Savannah River bordering South Carolina, it was commonly referred to as "Cassine" by the indigenous people.
The last group that we will address is where the term,"Yaupon" actually comes from, those are Catawban-Siouan speakers of North and South Carolina. Like the Creek-Muskogeans and the Cusabos, they were a similar aggregate of tribes spread over an area and spoke a similar language with dialects. Yap, Yop, Yup, are three different sounding terms that applied to the word,"tree," within the Catawban-Souian speakers. More than likely, the failure to properly document their language by Europeans is more than likely lead to variety of terms and confusion. We have looked far and wide to see if we could the full name and meaning with little to no results. Instead of hypothesizing what it could be, we accept it for what it is, but we hope to give an update in the future.
As you can see, it was easy for things to get confused very quick. You can also see how indigneous has had the same effect on settlers and explorers as it did have an effect of Germans during World War 1 & 2. Then again, one could also see why that calling Ilex vomitoria L by the common names Yaupon or Cassine as being appropriate as well.
To further reinforce the challenges early europeans had in communications with the indigenous people, we want to share this publication below by the National Parks Service. It covers several of the reasons for why confusion or improper documentation existed. We hope that you have enjoyed this posting and that you will be back for the next one. We will keep referring to Ilex vomitoria L. as Yaupon/Cassine holly. Our next post will be about the issues surrounding the scientific name. If you have any questions or comments, please contact us hortfirellc@gmail.com, because we would love to hear from you and don't forget to,"Grow Forward!"

Lips are the most vulnerable part that will first start showing the symptoms of harsh winters. Dry and chapped lips are a common sight during winters but cracked lips are even more painful. This year prevent your lips from cracking which deters you from smiling the way you want by following these simple tips.
1) Cream up:– Moisture lips regularly and always opt for cream based lip balms which will soothe chapped lips. Avoid glosses or long wear lip colors that may have an alcohol base and dry out lips even more. Matte finish lip colors or lip liners also add to dryness and gives a dry feel to the lips. Go for moisturising lip colors or lipsticks rich in vitamin E which will keep pouts moisturized.
2) No Licking:- Avoid licking your lips as this tends to dry them out. Stay away from flavored lip balms that may invite you to lick your lips. Go for flavorless lip balms.
3) Don't peel:- If you have flaky skin on your lips, do not rip the skin off. It will cause soreness and possibly bleeding which will only worsen the situation.
4) Remove Makeup :- Make sure to remove all kinds of makeup, lip staining lip colors or tinted lip balms and apply a colorless moisturising lip balm and leave it overnight to maintain the soft pouts.
5) Stay hydrated:- When your body de hydrates lips are the first place to show its impact so drink lots of water and juices which will keep your lips hydrated.
These quick lip care tips should help to keep your lips soft and smooth all winter long.
How do you protect your lips in winters? Which is your favorite lip balm?
Yes.. Even my lips are drier than ever before .. always have to keep a lip balm nearby to instantly moisturize them!

Kite Hill enters plant-based butter category as SPINS unveils new data on plant-based dairy market
04-Mar-2020 - Last updated on 04-Mar-2020 at 16:23 GMT
Picture: Kite Hill
Related tags: Kite Hill, plant-based dairy
Kite Hill – best known for its dairy-free cheeses, yogurts, dips, and filled pastas – is expanding into a new category with a plant-based butter alternative featuring almondmilk as the #2 ingredient, that will launch nationally in Whole Foods this summer.
"We're starting in Whole Foods in August and we're in the middle of presentations and roll out plans with other retail partners nationwide," said CEO Rob Leibowitz.
"Butter is a multi-billion-dollar category and the consumer movement is both in premium [dairy] butters like Kerrygold, as well as in the premium plant-based butters that offer variety outside of the traditional soy and canola based products that have been around for so many years," said Leibowitz, who took the helm at Kite Hill in early 2018.
"However we've not seen almondmilk – which is one of our hallmarks - used in plant-based butter yet, and so we developed a product that looks, tastes, and spreads great, and works in recipes, but has a differentiating factor. It's for people that really enjoy butter but want to have a plant-based option and we think it's as good if not better than all of the other plant-based butters out there."
Kite Hill butter alternative: 'Almondmilk is the #2 ingredient on the ingredient deck'
While many margarine and spreads – which typically combine hard fats such as palm oil with liquid oils such as soybean oil – are already dairy free, a new wave of plant-based brands including Miyoko's Creamery are developing products positioned as 'vegan butter,' 'butter alternatives' or 'plant-based butter' that claim to replicate the taste and melting properties of butter.
Kite Hill's new line features a base of sunflower oil (liquid oil) and coconut oil (hard fat). And while Miyoko's adds cashew nuts, Kite Hill adds almondmilk.
Asked whether almondmilk delivered a meaningful contribution to the formulation (as opposed to something sprinkled into a tub of vegetable fat at fairy dust levels in order to provide a new angle for marketers), Leibowitz said: "There's a meaningful amount in there. Almondmilk is the #2 ingredient on the ingredient deck."
Ingredients list, European Style Butter Alternative: High oleic sunflower oil, cultured almondmilk (water, almonds, cultures), coconut oil, natural flavors, cocoa butter, cultured dextrose, sea salt, sunflower lecithin, lactic acid, beta caroten (for color)
There are three SKUs in the new butter alternative range: Original, With Olive Oil, and European Style. style
'We've experienced massive and expansive growth'
Hayward, CA-based Kite Hill – which said last fall that it expected its business in 2021 will be five times the size it was in 2017 – recently unveiled new branding, a new strapline ('plant based artisans'), and a revised logo without the almond teardrops deployed in earlier packaging iterations, reflecting the fact that Kite Hill is not tethered exclusively to almonds as its key source material, said Leibowitz.
The brand - which was founded by vegan celebrity chef Tal Ronnen, cheesemaker Monte Casino and acclaimed Stanford biochemist (and Impossible Foods founder) Dr Pat Brown – recently acquired a manufacturing facility in Portland Oregon which makes its yogurts, dips and sour cream (while its Hayward, CA facility makes its almondmilk and cheeses), he said.
"We've experienced massive and expansive growth and we've had a hard time until recently staying in stock on our cream cheese because demand is so high, and with our yogurt business, we've got European style, Greek-style, and new Blissful coconutmilk products and all of them are doing extremely well.
"In the last two years we've really improved every product line and become the gold standard for plant-based yogurt in terms of taste, texture and overall aesthetics."
Asked about dynamics in the plant-based yogurt category, which grew 31% last year, he said: "There are still lots of new entrants coming in, but not every brand has demonstrated the ability to launch products that look great, taste great, and have great consistency and I think you'll see fallout… as products don't meet consumer expectations."
Kite Hill's new Blissful plant-based yogurt line is its first product to star coconuts - rather than almonds - as its core ingredient
A plant-based lifestyle brand
As for the innovation pipeline, he said: "We see Kite Hill as a plant-based lifestyle brand, which can extend well beyond where you see it today.
"If dairy is an important feature or attribute of a product then we feel we've got license to launch into that area with Kite Hill as a dairy alternative, as a main feature or as an ingredient. So we're going to continue to innovate, but not in areas we feel could be a fad or unsustainable."
What's the size of the plant-based dairy prize?
His comments came as the Good Food Institute and the Plant Based Foods Association released a flurry of new data from SPINS* into the plant-based dairy, egg, and meat categories covering the 52 weeks to December 29, 2019.
Within plant-based dairy, plant-based milk is the largest category, with sales up 5% in 2019 to $2.02bn and 41% household penetration; followed by plant-based ice cream and frozen novelties (+5.7% to $335.55m); plant-based creamers (+34.3% to $286.66m); plant-based yogurt (+31.3% to $282.5m); plant-based butter (+8.4% to $198.36m); plant-based cheese (+18.3% to $189.1m); and plant-based dairy spreads, dips, sour cream and sauces (+53.7 to $29.51m).
Plant-based options now account for 14% of the fluid milk market; 4% of the yogurt market; 6% of the butter market; 5% of creamers; 3% of ice cream and frozen novelties; and 1% of the cheese market.
*The data represents retail sales of plant-based foods that directly replace animal products, including meat, seafood, eggs, and dairy, as well as meals that contain animal ingredient replacements. Obtained from the SPINSscan Natural, Specialty Gourmet, and Conventional Multi Outlet (powered by IRI) channels, this data pertains to the 52week periods ending December 29, 2019.

Јан де Вос (; Дендермонд, 7. фебруар 1844 — Антверпен, 30. март 1923) је био градоначелник Антверпена између 15. марта 1909. и 21. јула 1921. године. Био је на овом положају све до немачког заузећа Антверпена 10. октобра 1914. и остао је на положају након завршетка Првог светског рата.

Догађаји из 1914. године били су најдраматичнија дешавањима у којима је учествовоао као градоначелник Антверпена. Немачка војска је опсела град и ситуација је постајала све тежа и тежа услед немачког гранатирања града. Градско веће је стога одлучило да се преговара о предаји. Де Вос је уговорио услове предаје са немачким генералом Хансом Хартвигом фон Беселером.

Де Вос је био градоначелник Антверпена и током рата. Након немачког пораза није му суђено за колаборацију и он је остао градоначелник све до 21. јула 1921. године.

Dentsu Aegis Network rejigs SG leadership team; creates SE Asia CCO role
ByShubhi Tandon on February 11, 2015
Dentsu Aegis Network has a new management structure in Singapore to enhance the network's capabilities and capitalise on its operating model of one P&L per country. The changes, that will take immediate effect, complete the process of creating a unified management structure across all markets in Asia Pacific.
Rosalynn Tay, Chief Executive Officer of Dentsu Singapore, will take on the newly-created position of CEO for Dentsu Aegis Network Singapore, steering the operation across eight of its network brands. Audrey Kuah, previously CEO for Aegis Media Singapore, will move into an expanded role as Chief Client Officer for Dentsu Aegis Network Southeast Asia focussing on client development for non-Japanese clients. Both will report into Dick van Motman, Chairman and CEO of Dentsu Aegis Network Southeast Asia.
Ms Tay, who will continue to lead the operations for Dentsu Singapore, joined the agency in June 2013. She was able to turn Dentsu Singapore around during her 19 months tenure, retaining blue chip Japanese clients, whilst adding prestigious local clients. The last six months alone have seen various new wins across the public and private sectors including The Singapore Navy and Land Transport Authority.
Ms Kuah, who joined Aegis Media Singapore as CEO in October 2011, was instrumental in steering the business in Singapore towards double digit growth. As well as focussing on international client development for non-Japanese clients, she will take a leading role in the network's marketing efforts in Southeast Asia and will be closely involved in identifying and developing new business opportunities, working closely with Mr van Motman.
Meanwhile, James Hawkins will add to his responsibilities at Dentsu Möbius by taking on the role of President of Dentsu's Digital Capabilities in South and Southeast Asia. Mr Hawkins, who founded Dentsu Möbius a little over two years ago, has built the agency into a regional business that puts digital at the heart of marketing.
"As a regional leader it is always satisfying to see that all the right people are already on board and that implementing a new structure is only a matter of putting talent in the right place. Audrey Kuah has been instrumental in growing the Aegis Media business over the last years. It is an absolute privilege to be able to appoint a CCO of this calibre and use her expertise to develop new business opportunities to innovate the way brands are built in Southeast Asia is an absolute privilege," said said Mr van Motman.
He reiterated that Ms Tay has driven the business to be one of the most highly contested agencies in Singapore. "Her management capabilities to transform the business have earned her trust and recognition in the industry, and I am confident that she will excel in her new role," he said, and added, "The same goes for James Hawkins who has delivered an outstanding record at Möbius for the past two years. I'm looking forward to seeing him take his collaborative attitude to ensure that Dentsu's digital capabilities will continue to lead in the region. We are blessed with a strong team and I'm looking forward to the future with great confidence."
