Chlorine's unique chemical properties allow for numerous and varied applications. The primary use for chlorine is in the construction industry for the manufacture of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) - a product with flexibility, durability, dependability, versatility, and resistance to leakage, flame, corrosion, and microbial growth. PVC is typically about 55% chlorine.
Unfortunately, one of the downsides of PVC is its potential to cause harmful environmental side effects. When PVC is burned, hydrochloric acid and dioxin can be created and released to the environment. Some believe that before it actually burns, decomposing PVC can cause the most immediate threat to humans. This is of particular concern in building fires where PVC, used in the wiring and plumbing inside of walls, can overheat and decompose at lower temperatures - before there is actual ignition.
The greatest long-term threat from PVC is when it is recycled at the end of its useful life. Due to the wide range of additives and formulations that go into these products, testing for PVC is necessary to ensure that dioxin and toxic metals are not emitted into the air during recycling incineration.
In addition to PVC being a health hazard, the corrosive nature of the hydrochloric acid generated can seriously damage recycling equipment - including the metal and masonry in incinerators.
PVC also can adversely affect the quality of other recycled plastics, such as Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), which greatly decreases the value of the recycled product. Recycling facilities need to separate out unwanted PVC containers. The detection of chlorine, which is typically in the 50+% range in PVC, is an ideal way to separate out the PVC from the other plastics.
The handheld, point-and-shoot XRF analyzer provides on-the-spot quality data about chlorine and facilitates high-throughput testing of materials. It identifies PVC and quantifies Cl content in as little as 3 seconds. In a 3-second sorting test, the detection limit is about 1% Cl.
This X-ray tube-based handheld XRF system replaces the need for multiple isotopes used in older systems and eliminates their burdensome radioactive source regulatory issues - particularly for interstate and international travel. The analyzer also quantifies Br, Sb, Ba, Zn and toxic metals such as Pb, Cd, Hg, Cr and As in seconds.
Portable XRF technology offers simple and immediately accurate chlorine test results, non-destructively, at the point of use. Factory calibrations for Cl, Br, Sb, and 20+ metals provide concentrations in ppm or percent values. The user may also add new elements or create custom calibration curves at any time.
A typical Cl calibration curve in Figure 1 shows that the quadratic fit of data for Cl in plastic has an excellent R2 value of 0.9967. PVC is typically sorted with a 2-3 second test. A 5-second Fast Sorting LOD for Cl in PVC is about 1%.
For some applications, operators want to see lower level Cl concentrations by performing longer tests. The estimated limit of detection for Cl in PVC is 0.35% for a 30-second measurement (see Figure 2).
A portable XRF analyzer is an inexpensive, easy to use, preventative maintenance tool for in-situ analysis of chlorine in PVC. It also analyzes alloys and environmental samples, plus is used for numerous other materials analysis applications.
The portable XRF system is a proactive trouble-shooting tool to help indicate potential process and equipment problems before failures occur. It is non-destructive and can also be used as a cost-effective screening tool to save time and money by helping engineers determine which materials require further investigation - including thorough lab analysis.
Significant advancements have taken portable XRF technology to the next level for elemental analysis. Whether for fast sorting by non-technical operators, or customized analytical analysis in the lab, the portable XRF analyzer is affordable, easy to use, reliable, and overall cost effective.
This handheld portable tube-based analyzer incorporates state-of-the-art components including a battery operated miniature X-ray tube, a high-resolution silicon pin detector, high speed data acquisition circuitry, and an internal miniature PC for calculations, results, data storage and operator interface. The single "tube" design offers true simultaneous analysis of metals. It replaces the need for multiple isotopes used in other systems and eliminates their burdensome radioactive source regulatory issues, particularly for interstate travel.

JC's Column / November 8, 2018
The 4 Pillars of a Lasting Cyber Security Transformation
JC's Column
Simply throwing money at the problem is rarely the answer
Many CIOs and CISOs would have come across this situation after an incident, a serious near-miss or a bad audit report: Suddenly, money and resources – which were previously scarce – appear out of nowhere, priorities shift, and senior executives demand urgent action around cyber security.
It is probably the dream of many CISOs to inherit one day such transformational challenge where money is – apparently – no object. In practice, however, it can also be a curse if you fail to deliver.
What are the key factors in driving successful transformation around cyber security?
Setting the right timeframes
First, the CISO must assess without complacency the true nature of the transformation required, the depth of commitment of senior management, and the timeframes which would be required to deliver real and lasting change – independently of stakeholders expectations.
This is the first area where the CISO will need to manage expectations with senior executives. Change takes "the time it takes", in particular where culture and behaviours are involved, and some aspects associated with cyber security transformation could be complex, disturb existing business practices and lead to substantial projects (for example around Identity and Access Management or Data Leak Prevention).
In our experience, the complete top-down re-engineering of an entire security practice can take up to 3 to 5 years in any large organisation. Nobody can be expected to achieve anything significant in 6 months to a year if initial maturity levels are very low; 2 years may not be enough either.
The first management challenge of the CISO is to get senior stakeholders to understand that fact. This is about a real commitment to change at least as much as it is about resources, and the ability to think strategically over the mid- to long-term. Not all senior executives or board members are capable of doing that. The CISO will have to find the right allies and use their influence to get the message across.
Merely "fixing" illusory quick-wins never amounts to lasting transformation.
The realisation of the timeframes involved will be rooted in the appreciation by senior management of the tasks involved, and such appreciation needs to be backed against a sound and meaningful assessment of the starting point.
From there, a transformative vision and roadmap can be drawn looking towards the right horizon.
Focusing on clear transformative themes and explicit goals
In situations where the organisation needs to face fundamental change around cyber security, it will be essential to set clear and simple objectives to all parties.
Trying to fix everything at the same time, irrespective of interdependencies and the inherent complexity of some issues, and possibly over unrealistic timeframes, will simply lead to confusion and failure.
Instead, the CISO should start by assessing dependencies between the various parts of the transformative roadmap and group action around broad themes which in turn will focus priorities and investments.
Those themes should be clear, simple to articulate, and structured around explicit goals and milestones.
Delivering through an empowered senior team
Although there will be projects involved in delivering the transformative roadmap, the ultimate objective is to create a sustainable, self-standing transformed security practice. To this end, the re-engineering of their team needs to be the first task for the CISO so that transformation can be delivered through the reshaped team and not only through contingent project resources and consultants.
Defining the right team structure, operating and governance model should be top-priority for the CISO, involving all relevant stakeholders across IT, business and support functions, and also involving all relevant geographies and third-parties.
Staffing the new team should follow and start top-down, so that the CISO can delegate the transformative burden to empowered senior direct reports. This layer of management once established will take on the duties to staff the rest of their teams and to deliver explicit parts of the transformative roadmap. Finding those people – internally or externally – in the current recruitment market could be tough and take time, so starting as early as possible on this phase should be key for the CISO.
From there, the delivery of the transformative roadmap can start, but it will be equally crucial for the CISO to ensure that all key personnel are incentivised to stay the course, as there might be rough waters ahead.
Sticking to the plan
Establishing realistic timeframes, setting clear goals and finding the right people to drive the transformative efforts through a structured team are key. In parallel, the CISO should continue to get all parties on board behind the right transformative roadmap. This phase could easily take up to 6 months, but it is essential to long-term success.
There may be quick-wins, or there may not be. The CISO must resist inventing some where there are none and must also avoid knee-jerk reactions which may only damage the long-term case.
One thing this is NOT about is implementing more tech; at least not upfront.
There is no magical technology platform or service provider which can be – on its own – the answer to a fundamental transformative challenge around cyber security.
Technology will – of course – have a role to play in the transformative effort in most organisations, but the CISO and their team must come to that in due course, and in the right context, set in the right transformative vision, roadmap and operating model. Jumping at tech solutions and tech vendors upfront cannot be the first thing to do.
The overarching challenge for the CISO behind all this lies in getting senior management to see that long-term change is rooted in a long-term vision and long-term planning which takes time to establish.
It may be a hard sell in absence of tactical quick-wins, and a lot will rest on the trust between the CISO and their boss, as well as the personal profile, managerial experience and political acumen of the CISO.
Given the complexities involved, which are not just technical, but also often rooted in culture and governance, delivering lasting change will always require a structured approach and relentless drive to succeed.
Simply throwing money at the problem in the hope of making it disappear, without a proper consideration of those matters simply leads to failure and can only aggravate the perception by senior stakeholders that security is just a cost and a burden.

Connect your faith to your work
We believe that our faith should be part of everything we do—especially our work. We were made to work, creating and cultivating culture to bring glory to God and to serve others. To support and help you implement your faith into your work, we've designed the Art and Business as Mission Fellowships. This program has two tracks—one for artists and one for entrepreneurs—and runs for nine months, from September–May. It includes office space and opportunities for development and networking, and applicants must be able to dedicate 15 hours a week to the fellowship.
Applications for 2019–2020 are closed.
Participate in the story of God's Kingdom. We want our fellows to have a greater sense of the role of their vocation within the kingdom of God.
Appreciate a distinctly Christian approach to their work. We want our fellows to understand and appreciate how their faith influences and enriches their vocation.
Create something that will have a positive, meaningful impact on the church and city. We want our fellows to complete a tangible cultural artifact or business.
Workspace – Each fellow will be given a monthly stipend for a workspace.
Training Program – All fellows will be required to participate in The Village Church Institute's Training Program and will be in a cohort together. You must fill out both the fellowship application and Training Program application.
Mentorship – Executive Director Kent Rabalais will meet with groups of fellows monthly to discuss the growth and development of their projects. Fellows will also have opportunities to learn best practices from local artists/business people.
Art fellows will be encouraged to attend Art House Dallas events (e.g., Origin lunches, writers' group, painters' group, etc.) and Connecting Things events.
Business fellows will participate in training sessions provided by the Dallas Entrepreneur Center.
Though no one entering the fellowship will be in the exact same stage of life, ideal candidates will be on the cusp of their vocations, with both a need for spiritual and career development.
Art Track
For over 1,000 years, the Church was at the center of supporting the cultivation of the true, the good and the beautiful. Over the last few centuries, as beauty was relegated to the sidelines for pragmatic concerns, the Church has waned in her interest and investment in this important, God-exalting work. The Art as Mission Fellowship is our attempt to recover the Church's role in commissioning and championing the arts and to strategically support "culture making" through artists here in DFW.
Milestones for Art Fellows
Art for the Church – By the end of the first semester, we expect that the artist will have created one significant "piece" that could be used for the edification of our church (e.g., installation at campus(es), video, story, performance).
Art from the Church – By the end of the second semester, we expect that the artist will be able to present their work to a collection of their peers, contemporaries and fellow citizens in a public form that is conducive to their medium (e.g., gallery, reading, recital).
Click here for a look at work done by a former Art as Mission Fellow.
We believe that the kingdom of God is being built day by day and that Christians are empowered by the triune God to be priests and prophets, heralding the good news of Jesus and acting as ministers of reconciliation in culture. We also believe entrepreneurs are strategically positioned to have a unique multiplying effect on our cities. The Business as Mission Fellowship is our attempt to recognize the unique gospel-centered multiplication opportunity entrusted to entrepreneurs and intentionally invest in them as they seek to glorify God in their work.
Milestones for Business Fellows
Business for the City – By the end of the fellowship, we expect the entrepreneur to understand more about how their vocation uniquely serves the kingdom of God.
Share a completed business plan with at least five potential investors if an investment is needed.
Grow a business. If the entrepreneur joins the fellowship with revenue already coming into their business, the goal for the time would be to see revenue increased, even if it's a small increase.
Business Fellows
Julie Ballard
Julie is the Executive Director of Still Waters Ministry, a nonprofit providing gospel-centered community and support to abused women. She is a member at the Plano campus and has three children.
What has been the most helpful aspect of being in this year's fellowship?
"The thing that stands out the most has been the depth of instruction and knowledge I've received through the Training Program. I have been a Christian for many years, but I've really been pushed and challenged to think about my beliefs in new ways. Another aspect of the fellowship that was extremely helpful was to have office space to share with other business owners. The atmosphere was relaxed, and it was encouraging to have support from other people who were working to get their businesses up and running. I also loved going to lunch with successful entrepreneurs, hearing their struggles and receiving support and answered questions."
Dru Ball
Dru loves turning regular houses into dream homes. He is the owner of Granger Remodel & Design, a kitchen and bath remodeling firm in Frisco. He is a member at the Plano campus and attends with his wife and two children.
"I was surprised by how helpful the theological training portion of the fellowship was. Starting a business can put a lot of stress on a person. Often I would find myself showing up on Wednesday nights beat up, exhausted and worried about the future, but by the time class was over, I would leave refreshed and at peace. It couldn't have come at a better time."
Philip Likens
Philip is a designer and entrepreneur with a passion for building products and mentoring the next generation. He is a member at the Flower Mound campus and lives in Lantana with his wife and children.
"I'm thankful for my cohort and the time we've spent together. Each person in the fellowship is working toward their own goal on a parallel track. Having the opportunity to walk side-by-side through the process has been a real gift. The mentorship provided has grown my understanding of theology and the practical aspects of starting and running a business."
John Jelinek
John owns Yellow Theme, PBC, providing software solutions with a mission to help churches multiply. He is a member at the Southlake campus and lives in Grapevine with his wife and children.
"I love being able to engage with others at the church with a similar focus to make much of Christ through our vocations. The feedback that I've received from guest speakers as well as my cohorts helped me hone the focus of my business. I'm grateful for these relationships and shared experiences."
Art Fellows
Christina Jelinek
Christina Jelinek is the founder of Leaven + Liturgies, a monthly meet up for creatives seeking to live out the gospel story within community. She serves as a Program Director for Apartment Life, a nonprofit seeking to build community in apartments to see them transformed through connectedness. She is a member at the Southlake campus and lives in Grapevine with her husband and three children.
"This year's fellowship has allowed me a level of intentionality in the discipline of creating. I have had access to other creatives who have shared their process and honest feedback as well as a dedicated space and accountability. The Training Program has played an integral part in opening my eyes to the role I get to play in God's story and has transformed the theological foundation from which I create."


The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the circuit court overruling Defendant's motions to suppress evidence and sentencing Defendant to eight years' imprisonment in connection with his conviction for possession of a controlled substance.
Specifically, the Supreme Court held (1) the circuit court did not err in overruling Defendant's motions to suppress methamphetamine because Defendant was not unlawfully seized when an officer requested that Defendant produce his driver's license to verify whether he was driving on a suspended license and Defendant complied with that request; and (2) even though the range of punishment was misstated at the sentencing hearing, Defendant failed to establish that the circuit court imposed sentence based on a mistaken belief.

Does Iron Supplementation Increase Blood Pressure?
By Beth Greenwood
Iron supplements may affect your blood pressure.
Iron is a very important mineral. Red blood cells in the body contain hemoglobin, a protein that transports oxygen to the cells. Myoglobin performs a similar function for muscle cells. Both hemoglobin and myoglobin contain iron, although most of the iron in the body is found in hemoglobin. Iron supplements are used to prevent or treat iron deficiency and the anemia that may result. There is some indication that iron supplementation may affect blood pressure.
Women are more prone to iron deficiency anemia because of their menstrual periods, but a number of diseases can also cause iron deficiency. Cancer, kidney problems and heart disease have all been found to cause anemia. According to Medline Plus, the Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database has found that iron supplements are effective for anemia caused by chronic disease and iron deficiency anemia.
Iron and Blood Pressure
There is evidence that iron from red meat, which contains what is called heme iron, can increase blood pressure. An article in the July 2008 "British Medical Journal" reported that red meat intake was associated with a higher systolic blood pressure, while iron from vegetable sources, called non-heme iron, resulted in decreased blood pressure. When iron supplements were combined with dietary sources, there was less of an effect on blood pressure.
Iron in Multimineral Supplements
One study of multimineral supplements that contained iron found blood pressure decreased in the study participants. An article in the 2009 "Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition" reported a study in which Chinese women were divided into four groups. One group received high doses and a second group received low doses of multivitamin and multimineral supplements. A third group was given only calcium while a fourth group received a placebo. Blood pressures in the women who took the high-dose multivitamin multimineral supplement were significantly lower than those in the other groups.
Considerations and Warnings
Although iron is probably safe when taken in recommended doses, it can have side effects. Iron supplements can cause gastrointestinal complaints such as nausea, abdominal pain, constipation or diarrhea. The data on iron supplementation and blood pressure is both limited and conflicting. There is no evidence to support that taking iron supplements increases blood pressure. In fact, too much iron lowers blood pressure. Medline Plus says that high doses of iron can be dangerous, especially for children, and can cause liver failure, very low blood pressures and even death.

Match Report:
Diamonds chose today to silence their critics by turning on a superb performance in front of a bumper Bank Holiday crowd. The pre-match build up though couldn't have been worse for Diamonds. New keeper Ian Feuer had rang in this morning suffering with a bad bout of flu, and was unable to travel to the game. The Club desperately tried to contact Mark Gayle, but to no avail. The only alternative was to bring in Youth Team keeper Steve Corry for his debut, so the phone call was made to Corry this morning telling him he was playing. Fifteen minutes before the kick-off the Club Doctor was still working on a nasty black eye on Darren Bradshaw, the eye was closing and impairing his vision. Thankfully he made it and proceeded to play a stormer.
Diamonds started the first half impressively. A looping header from Fossy bounced back off the woodwork, an overhead kick on the turn from John Hamsher was also denied a goal by the woodwork. Diamonds really turned on the style, the midfield suddenly clicking into gear and totally dominating. John Hamsher was superb as again he covered every blade of grass, joining the attack when he could and giving great support to his defence. Today the defence stood proud. Whether it was protective of the rooky keeper or not they were magnificent to a man. Jim Rodwell was a tower of strength, as must surely have earned himself a place in next weeks game against Leeds United, even though Chalky White was brought back to the substitutes bench for today's game. Tim Wooding made marauding runs down the flank, though it must be said his crossing let him down today. Unders and Heggs tormented the Woking defence, and yet another shot rattled the woodwork. Eventually though the pressure paid off and De Sousa stuck a ferocious shot past the Woking keeper. The first half ended with Diamonds totally dominant, but surprisingly only one goal ahead.
The second half was pretty much the same, although Woking did manage to exert some pressure on the rookie Diamonds keeper, most of it unfair challenges. The only thing that let Corry down on his big day was his kicking, but when he needed to gather the ball he did it with confidence. Pressure down the flanks and dangerous crosses into the box continued to cause Woking problems. Goalmouth scrambles and the Woking keeper somehow managed to keep Diamonds at bay until the last minute when Fossy got on the end of a De Sousa and Heggs link-up to secure the points for Diamonds.
This was one of the best performances seen at Nene Park from Diamonds this season. It goes to prove that they can perform as a team and look like Championship contenders. Speaking to De Souza after the game he said that he could feel the support of the crowd today, and I think that worked both ways. The crowd reacted to a great performance, and the players reacted to the crowd. It must also be said that the Woking support, particularly in the second half was superb, really getting behind their team, and it did visually lift the team for a spell. De Sousa was a little disappointed with his performance, feeling he should have stuck another couple away, but he enjoyed playing upfront with Fossy. It was great to see Fossy back today, working hard, showing enthusiasm, and his goal was just reward for his effort. Macca also had a great game, and was himself unlucky not to get on the scoresheet, twice being put through. It was nice to see the confidence running through the team, confidence to have a shot, or make runs forward – something that has been lacking for so long.
So now we look forward to the Leeds game with some confidence. This performance must surely have given David O'Leary sitting in the Stand something to think about. I would be very surprised if BT changes this winning team other than to bring in Mark Gayle or Ian Feuer for Steve Corry. In the last couple of months we have now seen three of our Youth Players brought into the first team squad, Paul Kyriacou, Andy Burgess and now Steve Corry, so the future looks quite rosy for Diamonds. Now we all need to get behind the team for Leeds, it was good today but must be ten times better if we are to compete with the noise from the Leeds fans. Come on you Whites!!!

Both Boro and Diamonds slipped further behind the Conference leaders, after this hard fought but un-impressive display. Maybe the conditions played a large part in the stalemate as rain and wind lashed down on the players, but I don't think we saw either team demonstrating today that they are potential Conference Champions. You can come up with many reasons why the match was poor, Diamonds concentrating on the FA Cup, having to make changes due to injuries, Boro managerless, Carl Alford playing for Boro – all valid reasons but at the end of the day the teams don't look good enough!
Both teams in the first half failed to give quality ball to the forwards. Boro battled away down the flanks, and Diamonds pushed West and De Souza down the middle. Both failed miserably as there was no inventiveness or creativity in the middle of the park. The Diamonds defence had difficulty keeping their feet in the conditions, as gave away needless fouls. Feuer looks to be a good keeper, 6'7″ tall he commands the area but is also very quick to either come out and clear his lines, or smother opposing forwards. He made a couple of great saves and I am sure BT will be very pleased with his debut performance. Boro had the best of the first half chances, and only the woodwork kept Diamonds level at half time as a looping header beat the keeper, but rebounded to a Diamonds player and was safely cleared. De Souza gad a couple of half chances that were wasted, and poor finishing from West kept the scores level at half time.
Boro obviously pushed forward in the second half as you would expect from the home team, but despite huffing and puffing from Boro, the Diamonds defence never really looked in that much trouble. Rodders, coming in for the injured Warburton, had a steady game doing all that was asked of him. He is never going to be a player that will creatively clear his lines, but he does what he is good at very well. Bradshaw and Wooding suffered most from being unable to keep their feet, but both played well, as did John Hamsher who is a real work-a-holic. He tirelessly covers every blade of the grass, but found no chance to really get forward as often as he normally likes. Carl Heggs had one of his quieter games, a few mazy runs, but will probably feel disappointed with his performance today.
Jon Brady and Unders struggled down the flanks, the crosses were poor, and there seemed an un-willingness to take players on today. Strange that, because the conditions were made for players who can run and turn quickly. West and De Souza were very strong today, holding and shielding the ball, making tireless runs, but the lack of creativity in midfield meant that there service was poor, and there was a lack of support to help them.
Neither of these teams look capable of taking the Conference on this performance today. Diamonds must beat Woking on Monday to keep up with the leaders, there can be no mishaps. We are now in a position where BT cannot say the ball is in our court, we only have to win our games in hand and we are at the top. Our position is precarious, and we now need to see some good performances, from the team and certain individuals. The players have now to stand up and be counted. I am sure there will be a good crowd at Nene Park on Monday, so lets hope that we can look forward to a well earned three points. Another performance like that against Farnborough will not be good enough. Forget Leeds, we need those three points!

This was surely a case of "The day after the night before". A lack lustre performance from Diamonds that at the end of the day saw them very close to throwing away two points. The first half was really dominated by Diamonds, but only because Farnborough seemed so poor, not really wanting to play and putting all men behind the ball. Heggs tormented them down the left, and De Sousa looked quick and strong upfront, feeding from West. Butts worked tirelessly in midfield and the back four looked solid. It was no surprise when on 28 minutes Colin West headed Diamonds in front, a well taken goal but slack marking from Farnborough. One could then be forgiven for thinking that Diamonds may want to push forward and try and get a performance going. But despite the goal, Diamonds huffed and puffed there way to half time.
The second half must be one of the poorest seen by Diamonds fans this season. Not helped by Razor being carried off early into the second half, the Diamonds performance never materialized. It was Farnborough then who sensed that Diamonds had not really got the gumption to press forward, and they may snatch a point with a bit of pressure. Diamonds passing was poor, the effort going in to tackle was half-hearted (Heggs the exception), and the midfield became non-existent other than a tireless Gary Butterworth. The front men got little or no service, there was no creativity in midfield, and surely BT would not have been happy with this performance. But it must be said we collected all three points having played poorly, and we are still up with the leaders.
Diamonds are desperate for the return of Carel Vandervalden to add some spice into the middle of the park, to create something, to inspire. We can only hope that BT shakes them out of this "Leeds Dream" that they appeared to be in today. Two important games are on the horizon, against Managerless "Boro" and the ever improving "Spiffs" on Bank Holiday Monday. With the Poppies getting a great result at Hereford and the Robins giving Boro an early Xmas Stuffing, six points from these games are crucial. We can then get the Leeds game out of the way and concentrate on improving our League position.

A superb night of football, a large crowd, a real Cup atmosphere, and Diamonds steamroller their way into the 3rd Round of the FA Cup and a dream home tie against the mighty Leeds United on 2nd January 1998.( Sorry Boro we can only take 3 points from you now over the Xmas/New Year period.)
Both teams started the game well fired up but it was Donny who took the initiative to extremes, when on 4 minutes a rash double footed challenge on Bradshaw saw the Donny Centre Forward shown the red card. The game had hardly settled back down before another rash challenge on Heggs after he had skinned the defender saw the player sent sprawling and a penalty given. John Hamsher stepped up as cool as you like and scored a cracker that the keeper had no chance with. Down one goal, playing with 10 men, you might have expected Donny to keel over, but this is a very talented and strong Donny side, not lacking in spirit. Roared on by their superb support they fought back into the game. Wright on the wing delivered some superb dead ball kicks that constantly put Diamonds under pressure, with Gayle having to be at his best to keep the ball out of the net. When the equaliser came it was from sloppy defending, but a superbly taken goal. At this point I think Donny actually started to look the more direct of the two teams. But Diamonds spurned at least 3 great chances to go in at half time with a lead. Brady Collins and West all managed to miss golden chances.
The second half saw Diamonds start some what tentatively but gradually as the game wore on their dominance shone through. West scored the all important second goal with a beautiful looping header over the keeper from a pinpoint cross from Bradshaw. Brady added a Diamonds third shortly after and then West added his second superbly tucking the ball under the advancing keeper when put through. The heart went out of Donny as Diamonds started to play the ball around the park. Westy then gave away possession carelessly just midway inside his own half for Donny to score a 90th minute consolation goal, but it was all over long before that. A magnificent performance, and some superb individual performances on note, namely Mark Gayle, Colin West, Darren Bradshaw, Ray Warburton and in the first half Carl Heggs. Jon Brady proved that he is a much better player when he is played in the correct position, wide on the right. Tim Wooding has now developed more of a mean streak and looks much more dependable at the back. Darren Collins was not fit so really should not be judged too harshly for his performance tonight.
Attention must now turn back to the Conference with games against Farnborough, Woking and Boro coming up before the Leeds extravaganza. But lets enjoy tonight, offer commiserations to the magnificent support of Doncaster, and wish them luck in their fight to get out of trouble at the foot of the table. They are too good a team to be down there.
Telford United 2 Rushden & Diamonds 2
12th December 1998 – Bucks Head
Rushden Team: Gayle, Wooding, Bradshaw, Hamsher, Warburton, McElhatton, Butterworth, Heggs, West, De Sousa, Underwood.
Subs: Mison, Foster, Rodwell, Brady.

A reasonable performance today from the Diamonds considering what atrocious weather conditions we had in Telford. Taking that into account this proved to be an entertaining game, with Diamonds desperately unlucky to come away with only one point. Making his debut in attack was Miquel DeSousa, coming to Diamonds from Peterborough in a swap with Richie Hanlon.
The first few minutes saw Diamonds pushing forward but it was Telford who took an un-expected early lead following poor goalkeeping and defending, Mark Gayle failing to collect at the attackers feet and leaving an unguarded net for the attacker to chip into. Diamonds pushed forward and it was De Souza who took the equalizing goal after great work from Carl Heggs down the left. His first goal for the Club was a clinical strike and from what we saw during this game it will be the first of many. Diamonds continued to rain shots and crosses on the Telford goal, and had chances been taken should have gone in at half time with a substantial lead. The rain and therefore slippery surface seemed to affect the normally dependable Diamonds defenders more than Telford, and Bradshaw and Wooding really struggled today. Poor passing from defence, over-hit long balls out of defence, and loose marking put Diamonds under un-necessary pressure.
Diamonds came out in the second half looking determined to push home their superiority, but it was Telford again who stole the march, again suicidal defending, this time from Underwood. But again a great finish from the Telford player who whipped the ball high in to the net. Diamonds were relentless in pushing forward. When they played the long ball they looked very average, but when playing one-touch football across the width of the park they at times looked superb. The equaliser eventually came, with Heggs squeezing the ball over the line before it was hooked away by a defender. The linesman signalled a goal to the referee and Diamonds were back on level terms. From here on in it always looked like Diamonds who would get the winner, but it was not to be! Another point away from home, a satisfactory performance – no more, and now we look forward to Tuesday night. But what of individual performances today?
De Souza had a great first game. He was quick and strong, showed great skill on the ball, took up great positions, and played intelligent football. With Collins and De Souza upfront it will certainly be a quick strike force. On today's showing I think we have got a good striker, and maybe BT will confound his critics who said this was a poor deal. I think he had a great debut. As for my old mate Westy, I put my hands up and admit I thought he had a great game as well. He held play well, worked well with De Souza, tackled back when necessary, probably one of his best performances and was unlucky not to get on the score sheet. Heggs had a great game and relished having some help upfront. Butts had an improved game compared to Donny, Macca was solid but missed two great chances to score, Ray Warburton was superb again. It was only the defence that seemed to be off form today. John Hamsher didn't have one of his best games, but he showed commitment and aggression in midfield – something lacking in previous performances from a certain Diamonds Midfielder who was on the bench today.

Competition: FA Cup 2nd Round

As I was walking out from the ground a group of Donny supporters were heard to say "We cant grumble at that – it was a fair result". In truth they were probably right. Neither team really deserved to go through to the next round on the performances witnessed today.
Lets get the good points out of the way first. Diamonds defence looked solid, and apart from a couple of dangerous corners swung in Donny never really looked like scoring. One fine save from Mark Gayle was all that was required to keep a clean sheet. In fairness the same can be said of the Donny defence and keeper. They were never really put under any pressure, and just a couple of chances fell Diamonds way, one late in the first half, a scorching header that brought a fine save from the keeper, and a looping header from Mison, that for once he got on target, headed off the line by Nicol.
The first half was really a non-event. The referee stopped the flow of the game on too many occasions, intimidated by the antics of Donny players intent on getting Diamonds players booked. They succeeded as well – I believe Mison, McElhatton and West went into his book. Yet a blatant right hook on McElhatton received only a yellow card when the player should have walked. Inconsistency again at the highest level! Diamonds however were playing with only eight men for all 90 minutes. Yes there were 11 on the pitch but only in body. Mison appeared to be on a different planet, West laid off a few passes but was totally in-effective again, and Butts had a nightmare – probably the worst game I have seen him play. Still the first half came to an end, Diamonds attacking, and one could be forgiven for thinking that surely BT would shake them up and maybe, only maybe, make some changes.
Wrong! The second half continued in the same vein. No midfield, no service for our attack – I use the term attack lightly as we have not seen a Diamonds attack since Shrewsbury. Archer on the wing could not catch a cold, couldn't pass water, let alone a cross. We had no vision in midfield at all. It was left to Brads and Wooding to play long balls over our midfield in the hope that it would fall to one of our front players. It was left to Unders to try and play with Heggs out wide on the wing, and Macca to try and instil some aggression down the centre. The game was crying out for changes, but none came. This game was there to be won if the decision had been made to push for the win.
Why was Hanlon not brought on for Mison, if nothing else it is unfair to let Mison ridicule himself week after week. The same with West, though to a lesser level. West is a great holder of the ball but he has no pace, lacks control and stands more chance of saving a penalty than scoring a goal. It was only Heggs that ever got close to the Donny penalty area in open play, a sorry statistic. Why was Foster not brought on? We did not want a replay and another changed Conference game, why did we not push for the win – it could have been there for the taking had there been a more positive approach from the bench. There would need to be at least four changes to that team to make it above average. Those players may be on the bench or sitting in the stands, but the changes have to be made now.
Today we played a team at the bottom of the Conference, and lets be honest, we did not look much better, if at all, than them. Assuming we beat Donny, and lets not take anything for granted, we now also have to re-arrange a match against Boro due to take place at the beginning of Jan99. Add that to games that also need re-arranging against Leek, Southport, and Yeovil and the fixture pile up is a mess. A large squad that we have may solve part of the problem, but only if those players are up to the required standard to maintain a Championship Challenge. Personally I have my doubts on the quality and strength of the squad. We have lost David Mehew this week, Smudger is on the list, Ndekwe and Staff have gone out on loan to Burton Albion I believe, Vandervalden is out until February earliest with the shoulder dislocation, Chris Whyte only plays Capital games, Julian Capone is still recovering from injury, Paul Wilson is languishing in the Reserves. Just where is our quality in depth in the squad? It looks like being a long hard winter.

Those receiving, or at times sending, goods from overseas at times may need to convert from one measuring unit to the other. You may also wonder about the actual size of certain units such as a cubic meter. You might also wonder what dimensions fit into it and try to imagine just how much cargo you should be expecting. In case you're the one sending the items overseas, you might also be wondering just how many boxes you will need.
When dealing with this unit of measure, you're actually talking about the volume of the cargo you are shipping or receiving. An alternate spelling aside from the American English is 'cubic metre'. It is one of the base units specified by the International System of Units. Some people call this unit of measure as stere.
This simply means it is one of the units in which all other measurement units are based. This unit of measure was once known as the 'kilolitre', though that term isn't that popular anymore. It is also representative of the expression of the concentration of any chemical via a volume of air.
Sometimes, it is a lot easier to picture out how big a cubic meter is by comparing it with other units of measure that we are more familiar with. However, do take note that even though we convert it to other units or systems of measurement, we can still find a way to fit the same volume into different dimensions. So, different freight carriers can have boxes in different dimensions and still have the same amount of volume.
One cubic meter can be converted exactly to 1,000 liters. This is drawn from the fact that it is equal exactly to 1,000 liters of water at the standard atmospheric pressure while at its temperature of maximum density, which is at 3.98 degrees Celsius. It is also interesting that the equivalent drops slightly at the freezing point of water where the volume drops a bit down to 999.972 kilograms, which is still pretty close.
Expressed in feet, it is roughly the equivalent of 35.3 cubic feet or about 1.3 cubic yards. It is the equivalent of 8.65 US dry barrels. It is about 67,628.044 tablespoons or 35,195.079 UK fluid ounces. It is also roughly around 879.876 quarts in the UK or 908.082 US dry quarts. Tip: you can go online and look for a metric conversion site to convert cubic meters to other units of measure without doing the actual math.

First-Ever Video of Critically Endangered Myanmar Snub-Nosed Monkeys
Here's something you don't see every day: video footage of the critically endangered Myanmar snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus strykeri), a species that was only discovered in 2010.
By John R. Platt on April 8, 2014
Here's something you don't see every day: video footage of the critically endangered Myanmar snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus strykeri), a species that was only discovered in 2010.
You can count at least 23 of the rare monkeys, out of a total population estimated to range from 260 to 330 individuals for the entire species, in the video below:
This first-ever video of the species was captured by Kaung Haung, a member of the local Law Waw tribe in Burma. He works with Fauna & Flora International (FFI), a nongovernmental organization, to monitor camera traps set up to photograph the monkeys. He was walking through the jungle to check on the contraptions when he heard something above him. Fortunately, he had a video camera with him. As an FFI press release recounts, "Full of excitement and with shaky hands he filmed the large band of snub-nosed monkeys leaping through the canopy up above him."
Frank Momberg, FFI's Myanmar program director, said this few seconds of video provides critical information about this species. "From this footage we are able to determine that they clearly live in large groups, unlike other leaf-eating monkeys that have been shown to live in smaller family units," he said. "This means their social organization and behavior is similar to other snub-nosed monkeys, which sets the entire genus apart from other leaf monkeys. It also means that larger groups require large home ranges and larger areas of contiguous forest need to be protected to ensure the survival of the species."
FFI team members discovered the Myanmar snub-nosed monkey four years ago, but the animals have only been seen in a few still camera–trap photos since then. The organization has been working to conserve the monkey's habitat in northern Burma and establish a community ranger program and other alternative livelihoods for the people who live in the area and hunt wild animals for food. The species is also threatened by illegal loggers from China who are cutting down the forest habitat and have in the past engaged in armed combat with local peoples. FFI is trying to get the area where the monkeys live declared a national park, which could ease many of those pressures.
Myanmar snub-nosed monkeys are geographically separated from other snub-nosed species, all of which are also endangered. It has black fur, a tail 140 percent the length of its body and an upturned nose that collects water when it rains, causing the animals to sneeze. Now if only we had that on video!

Listen to my interview on Financial Insights with James Cox. We discuss my project Yoga Is Vegan and insights and advice on the relationship between the two concepts and the importance of raising awareness.
Listen to my interview on the Main Street Vegan Podcast with Victoria Moran! I'm talking about my passion project, Yoga Is Vegan on the April 18th, 2018 episode.


I was out on a hike in the Boulder Foothills in search of wildflowers and I stumble upon a little pond with frogs and toads. I was not expecting this at all nor did I ever think I would photograph amphibians! It has been so wet here in the Boulder area, so it shouldn't have surprised me to see mud and puddles everywhere on my hike. Needless to say I was surprised to find so many frogs in a little pond. I'm talking a few feet long by a foot wide. These guys really interested me because they were hanging out on top of each other. There was one group of 3 and a few groups of 2. I have never seen this behavior, but then again I'm not usually out looking for frogs. Hope you enjoy a new subject for me.


The 15th largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization is playing against all market-cards today. Despite almost all coins suffering under the grasp of heavy bear claws, ETC is on the green. The pair ETC/USD is gaining 2.53% in the last 24-hours reversing the price back to $17.62.
Even that the increase could be very miniature to the bigger market picture, it is clarifying that ETC could initiate a free-run against the sellers. The only reason that might be backing up the coin behind this excellent performance is its speculation on Coinbase listing.
Coinbase has confirmed that the move will happen sooner or later, but when it is still not clear for anybody. It is much expected that an announcement related to the listing will happen during this month, however it will be not of a long notice.
This decision caused a stir on social networks from both fans and skeptics. While many ETC supporters were enthusiastic about the news, others were disappointed as they saw ETC as a "dead currency." Even some users were confused about the decision.
As it usually happens when more used and famous platforms like Coinbase list a coin, it is predicted that a boost of price will enter the place as it will invite more mainstream and institutional interest in the crypto.
Even that the listing will happen, stay sharp, trade carefully and do not overtrade. The coin is attracted very much towards volatility and investments should be well thought. But, keep your radar on on ETC as it could turn out a good wallet diversification choice.


Encouraging employees to delay retirement not only improves their financial security in retirement, but also keeps experienced and productive employees on the job. Flexible hours, part-time or consulting-based employment, flexible location, and financial rewards top employees' list of desired incentives to delay retirement.
While four in 10 current workers expect to work in retirement, current retirees are not showing a desire to work for pay. Only 17 percent of retirees are still working for pay, and only 13 percent of retirees not currently doing so say it's possible they will return to work. If employers start using incentives, more employees are likely to stay working. Working longer can have significant financial benefits, retirement delays of as little as three to six months have the same impact on standards of living in retirement as saving an additional 1 percentage point of income over 30 years.
Allowing employees the flexibility to work outside of the office is the most valued and could result in those employees working an additional 15 years, on average. The next most valued incentives are having flexible hours and getting financial rewards. Employees who can have flexible work hours or financial incentives to work longer are likely to work an additional 13 years, on average. Allowing employees to drop to part-time or work as a consultant, on average, adds an additional 12 working years to the employee's commitment to the company.
As employers continue to grapple with managing an aging workforce and all its implications, considering options to keep talented people is a worthwhile strategy. It not only helps the employer, it can bolster employees' financial security when they finally do decide to retire.


Ted Baker, the high street fashion retailer, has created a pop-up in east London to launch its latest collection 'Colour by numbers'.
The activation features a monochrome colour scheme with "translucent opalescent panels laid out in a graphic zigzag pattern".
The five-week pop-up will have yoga every Wednesday with "light and colour therapy techniques". For example blue will be used for boosting productivity.
On Thursdays the space will be open to walk-in nail appointments. There will also be styling events held by fashion influencers.
The new collection will be available to shop and those who purchase something will receive a gift.

REVIEW: Best Collaborative Songs From African Artistes In 2018
No doubt 2018 has been a year where some of the top artiste gave us some massive collaboration efforts, we can't even begin to count the amount of features and collaborative effort that was done this year, but what we can do is to give you at least 10 songs we feel were the Best Collaborative Songs in 2018.
PS: These are just 10 of the best collaborative songs of 2018, this list is in no particular order or any form of ranking. These songs are songs that were released between January and November 2018.
1. Chinko Ekun ft. Lil Kesh x Zlatan Ibile - Able God: This song is still getting massive airplay all around the country and it is a song that will continue to trend till early next year at least. After teasing his fans on social media, on the 13th of September 2018, Chinko Ekun finally dropped what might be one of his best hit songs of his career and on the Rexxie produced track, he features Lil Kesh and Zlatan Ibile.
2. Duncan Mighty ft. Wizkid - Fake Love: This song literally rejuvenated Duncan Mighty's career, after teasing fans with this unexpected collaboration, the Port Harcourt first son, Duncan Mighty dropped what happened to be his first song for the year on the 4th of May 2018 and he took many by surprise by featuring Wizkid. The impact of Wizkid on this song was so massive that many people probably till now think the song actually belongs to Wizkid but no, the Killertunes produced song is for Duncan Mighty and just like I said, this song changed Duncan Mighty's career as he instantly became one of the most sought after artiste in the country and his profile rose to the point of him getting an European tour.
3. Olamide ft. Wizkid - Kana: It is safe to say that every time Olamide and Wizkid collaborate on a song together, it is definitely going to be a hit record. These will be the third collaborative effort from two of Nigerian biggest artistes, the first song was in 2008 when both artiste were still fresh in the game, they gave us Omo To Shan, then some time in 2015 Olamide featured Wizkid on Confirm Ni and on the 3rd of May 2018 they gave us Kana. As produced by Mut4y of Legendury beatz, everything about this song is just dope, the calmness, the mature sounds and of course the top notch production though I have to say I wasn't impressed with the video at all but the song remains dope nevertheless.
4. 2Baba ft. Peruzzi - Amaka: For an artiste that has spent over 2 decades in the industry to still be dropping hit songs in 2018 is definitely no small feat to achieve and this is one of the things that makes him an icon in the industry. 2Baba hit the industry hard on the 27th of June 2018 when he dropped this song titled Amaka featuring Peruzzi, the Sperochbeatz produced song instantly became a national anthem and as the video dropped the song just continue to spread like wildfire.
5. DJ Spinall ft. Kizz Daniel - Baba: Kizz Daniel is one artiste that should also be nominated for artiste of the year because if we are being honest, every song he has put out this year, either featured on or personal single, every songs has been a hit song. At the beginning of the hear he made a declaration of him doing 40 collaborative songs though not sure we have heard all of those 40 songs he collaborated on but Baba with DJ Spinall is one of the handful collaborative songs we have heard and I have to say he killed it. Everything about this song is top notch, from the production (Produced by Killertunes) down to the melody and flow from Kizz Daniel, the song was released on the 27th of April 2018.
6. Pablow ft. Mr. Real x Danny S - Bureau De Change: On the 13th of May 2018, fast raising 18-year-old singer Pablow who is signed to Madeline Entertainment dropped what will go down as one of the best street song of the year as a matter of fact this is one of the best Shaku Shaku sound I have heard this year, big credits to Shocker for the production of this song. This song is still very much rocking the streets and with December carnivals coming up trust me this song will definitely be one of the top song that will be played everywhere.
7. Starboy - ft. Wizkid x Terri x Ceeza Milli x Spotless - Soco: Released on the 20th of February, Wizkid used this Shaku Shaku song to introduce the industry to his Starboy team and immediately the song dropped it was well received by fans all over the country. For the next two to three months, after the release of this song, Soco was still the biggest song across many platforms and till now Soco is still regarded as one of Wizkid's best song of the year as many people believe the song belong to Wizkid though considering the fact that Wizkid owns Starboy and the song says Starboy featuring Wizkid x Terri x Ceeza Milli x Spotless, I guess it understandable why people will say so but credits has to be given to the other Starboy act on this track, they all contributed their own quota to make sure the song became a national anthem.
8. DJ Lambo Ft. Small Doctor X Mr. Real - Kunta Kunte: On the 13th of April Chocolate City artiste DJ Lambo released one of the best Shaku Shaku sounds you will hear this year. With a production coming from Ckay I have to say this version of the Shaku Shaku sound is probably one of the best I have heard, with Small Doctor and Mr Real doing proper justice to the song. This is one song that will trend more this December at different street carnivals and even clubs.
9. Larry Gaaga ft. Wande Coal x Sarkodie - Wonderful: If I'm to describe this song with one word, I would say Wonderful, which happens to be the name of the song. Larry Gaaga is known for giving us beautiful collaborative songs but I have to this is the best of them so far. The two artiste he kept on this track went haywire on this, Wande Coal went all in with his dope lines supported with his unique vocals and melodious sound and for Sarkodie, the Ghanaian spat what will go down as one of his hottest bars on a feature, and DaPiano got it right on the production level, everything about this song qualifies it for best collaboration of the year nomination. It was released on the 29th of October 2018.
10. Kizz Daniel ft. Davido - One Ticket: On the 2nd of November 2018, Kizz Daniel wanted us to have a feel of what his N.B.S (No Bad Song) album was going to sound like when he dropped this song and just listening to this song alone, we could tell there won't be any bad song on the album. First let me start with the producer, Major Bangz, a monster producer that suddenly took a break and his now making sure his comeback will be epic. If there will be any song that will shoot him back to the spotlight, One Ticket just did that, the production on this song is silly mad (pardon my language).
