Postgraduate research at LICA is supervised by internationally renowned, interdisciplinary and disciplinary specific staff, from design, film, fine art and theatre. Our research creates, examines and responds to new thinking in the arts and design sphere with a number of PhD's creating publicly engaged, vibrant and ambitious work.
Postgraduate students participate in sites of rigorous experimentation and are encouraged to develop research through processes of making, thinking, writing, analysis and speculative study.
As an interdisciplinary Arts Institute we encourage PhDs to reach out to different researchers in our community and develop mentors to support them throughout the development of their postgraduate career.
We also have established relationships across the North West of England with a variety of Art and Design organisations allowing us to support the development of residency programs or in house work experience, ensuring expert skills development for future careers in the Arts and Design.
Finally, LICA has two incredibly strong research collectives, Insight and Imagination, PhD students are encouraged to become members of these research hubs. Both Insight and Imagination create spaces and opportunities for collaboration on projects, funded research and campus based research activities.

Born at Toronto, Ontario on 16 June 1940, he was educated at the Ryerson Polytechnical Institute, then worked at the Saskatchewan Museum of Natural History before moving to Winnipeg to work at the Manitoba Museum. After working as a wildlife specialist with Manitoba Natural Resources for a year, he operated his own photography and publishing business for 40 years. His photographs, among which were many of polar bears along the coast of Hudson Bay, were featured in such books as Manitoba Landscape - A Visual Symphony, The Edge of the Arctic: Churchill and the Hudson Bay Lowlands, The Great Grey Owl: On Silent Wings, and Manitoba: Seasons of Beauty. He also promoted painting and bird carving, helping to found the Prairie Canada Carvers Association. He served as President of the Professional Photographers Association of Manitoba (1972). A member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts, he led photography tours around the world. He received the Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Medal and the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal in recognition of his exemplary community service. Shortly before his death, Taylor was inducted into the Manitoba Order of the Buffalo Hunt. He died at Winnipeg on 15 August 2013 and was buried in Glenboro Cemetery.

Peek Inside the Historic Frogmore House, Harry and Meghan's Reception Venue

Will We Ever See Duchess Meghan Wearing a Tiara Again?

We've been treated to plenty of tantalizing details about the upcoming royal wedding as May 19 continues to draw closer. With less than two months to go, we now know that a lemon and elderflower wedding cake will be served at the reception (intended to convey "the bright flavours of spring", per Kensington Palace) and that the couple has specified a dress code of uniform, morning coat or lounge suit, or day dress with hat.
Now it's time to take a closer look at the historic setting of Frogmore House, where the evening reception for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle—who at that point will be husband and wife—will be held.
The couple are to marry in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle at 12 p.m. GMT, and later that day Queen Elizabeth II will host a lunchtime reception for the 600 or so wedding guests in the grand St George's Hall. (See Prince Harry and Meghan's beautiful invitations!)
But it's at Frogmore House's more intimate reception that evening, hosted by Prince Charles for about 200 of Harry and Meghan's closest friends and family, at which the newlyweds will truly be able to relax and enjoy themselves.
(The Print Collector/Getty Images)
Frogmore House is about half a mile south of Windsor Castle, and is a beautiful Grade-I listed country estate that dates from the 17th century. It has been a royal residence ever since it was bought by King George III for his wife Queen Charlotte, who used it as a country retreat in which she and her daughters could pursue their pastimes such as painting and needlework.
Charlotte had a particular interest in the craft of botany, and during her lifetime oversaw the creation of woods, lakes, glades, follies and bridges in the land surrounding Frogmore House, which had previously consisted only of flat marshland.
Since then, the extensive grounds have become one of the estate's most notable aspects. They are home to more than 4,000 trees and shrubs, as well as the 13th-century-Italian-style mausoleum where Queen Victoria and Prince Albert are laid to rest.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle arrive for their official enagement portraits in the gardens of Frogmore House.
These grounds are already a significant part of Harry and Meghan's history. It was here, on a sunny winter's day, that they posed for their official engagement photographs not long after November's announcement that they were to be married. The photographs were noted for an intimacy not usually portrayed in royal snaps—but the love and tenderness that existed between Victoria and Albert is well documented, so perhaps the gardens of Frogmore House was the perfect place in which Harry and Meghan felt they could reveal this aspect of their relationship.
As for the reception, you could not ask for a more elegant setting than the residence's interior. We can only imagine the light of a hundred candles dancing on the 18th-century murals depicting scenes from Virgil's Aeneid in the Staircase Hall, or the garlands of painted flowers in the Mary Moser Room.
Then there's the enigmatic Black Museum, which Queen Mary decorated with black papier-mâché furniture (err, perhaps the reception will only see Harry and Meghan ducking in here for a moment's brief respite) and the Britannia Room, which commemorates the interior of the Royal Yacht Britannia after it was decommissioned in 1997. It was this yacht, as it happens, on which Prince Charles and Princess Diana took off on their honeymoon tour of the Mediterranean in 1981.
Sadly, we're unlikely to get a real glimpse into Harry and Meghan's evening reception, as this event will be a much more private affair than the day's earlier celebrations. Still, at least now we can form a picture of where the happy couple will be as their wedding day draws to a close.

The year is 1912, and young Beatrice Morrow is a multi-talented scholar and opera singer, who has always longed to perform. Then she meets and falls in love with Edward Cannady, a community leader and young man who urges Beatrice to take on a new role with The Advocate—the first African American newspaper in Oregon. Beatrice shares her expertise and her voice as a civil rights leader, community organizer, and editor—as she builds bridges and blazes trails in our Portland, Oregon history.
Commissioned for our Portland Opera to Go Program (POGO), Beatrice is a 50-minute youth opera inspired by the life and story of Beatrice Morrow Cannady, a prominent leader in Oregon's cultural community and civil rights movement of the early 1900s.
The piece has been written for middle school audiences, focused on fourth through ninth grades.
This September, POGO will present performances of Beatrice in venues around the region, including these two public performances at the Hampton Opera Center.

A: I had to add jQuery UI to get the autocomplete
You had a few issues
return item.CM_CITY_NAME.indexOf(request.term) !=-1

If you want this case INsensitive, change
return item.CM_CITY_NAME.toLowerCase().indexOf(request.term.toLowerCase()) !=-1

The above will return any string found in the city.
If you want the typed term to match the cityname from the beginning you need
return item.CM_CITY_NAME.toLowerCase().indexOf(request.term.toLowerCase()) ===0

If you do not need IE11 compatibility, you can change the above to
return item.CM_CITY_NAME.toLowerCase().startsWith(request.term.toLowerCase())

Here is the other change you need
if (x.length > 0) {
      const resp = $.map(x, function(item) {
        return {
          label: item.CM_CITY_NAME, // item., not x.

The Pew Forum on Religion "& Public Life released the second part of their major study on the U.S. Religious Landscape this past week. I've been working my way through the reports this week in between house buying and selling, prepping a college course, and going to a Sox game.
This part of the report deals with Americans' religious beliefs and practices and how those correlate to their opinions on political and social issues. Although Unitarian Universalists are too small a group to statistically figure into the report on their own, there are some interesting trends that bear on on UU life and practice in addition to issues of importance to any religious person, UU's included.
Remember, this survey sampled 35,000 Americans and is the only survey of its scope and depth on these issues, yet it is still a survey. It leaves me asking how certain questions were framed. For example, a "strong majority in every religious tradition do not believe their religion is the only way to salvation." Who says that religion is about "salvation?" What does "salvation" mean? Just asking the question puts the entire religious landscape in Christian framework where the task of the religious life is to save to your soul from the torments of hell in the afterlife. Another finding of the study is line with this one and poses similar problems – "most Americans agree that many religions – not just their own – can lead to eternal life." Again, who says that eternal life is the end of the religious life? Or even a goal at all? The study seem to posit this as a positive in the American religious landscape, but what about people who don't believe in an afterlife?
"Majorities of Jews (83%), Buddhists (75%), Hindus (92%) and unaffiliated (70%) express a belief in God, but these groups tend to be less certain in their belief." The Buddhist number surprised me because technically Buddhists are atheists, but among the number of self identified Buddhists there must be Christian-Buddhists and Hindu-Buddhists and Jewish Buddhists.
People who are religious are not necessarily traditionalists. Only a "44% plurality affiliated with a particular faith say their religion should preserve its traditional beliefs and practices while 35% say their religion should adjust to new circumstances." If you think Unitarian Universalists automatically belong in that 35% group, you've been in a committee meeting or a board meeting and heard the words, "but that's not the way we do it here." Words that have been called the "Last words of a dying church" by more than one church growth consultant.
Belief in the supernatural is very high with 79% of adult Americans believing in miracles. This of course, makes me want to ask, "what is a miracle?" Seven-in-ten American believe angels and demons are active in the world. (Carl Sagan's "Demon Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark" rattled and fell off my book shelf as if pushed by Dr. Sagan's spirit). Belief along these lines is higher among Mormons and evangelicals and traditionally black Protestant groups. Belief in miracles, angels and demons is less among Jews, Buddhists and Hindus and unaffiliated people.
Six-in-ten Americans pray daily and four-in-ten meditate daily.
There's no great surprise in the findings that Mormons and evangelicals tend to be more conservative politically and Jews, Buddhists and Hindus and atheists are more liberal than the general population.
This we know. What I find more interesting is the growing consensus across religious lines about he need for government involvement in providing need to the poor and doing something about the environmental crisis. The study bears this out.
78% of Americans believe there are absolute standards of right and wrong, yet only 9% report relying on philosophy and reason and science (5%) for guidance in determining their beliefs about what is right and wrong. I found this to be the scariest fact in the entire report.
In the richest country in the world, in the most developed time in history, 3/4 of the population are unhappy. In country at war with a history of racism that unhappiness level is higher among people of color and a pacifist group. I really can't say I'm too surprised. Yet, for all the religiosity, all the faith, where is our spirit? For all the religious values, what do we really value? For so many to feel unsatisfied and unhappy, what does that say about us?
The summary report is an 18 page pdf file and the full report is a 268 page pdf file and it is also available by intro, chapters and appendices in separate sections. You can get them all from the Pew Forum web site here.

Olive, Again by Elizabeth Strout (Literary Fiction)
Writing: 4.5 /5 Plot: 4/5 Characters: 4.5 /5
Olive Kitteridge — gruff, direct, honest and with absolutely no patience for pretense or pretentiousness. Some people love Olive for just this reason — many others consider her a rude "old bag". I love the fact that Olive — in her late seventies now — continues to have epiphanies about herself and her life.
The book is a collection of snapshots of life in the coastal town of Crosby, Maine. Some are centered on Olive herself, but in others she plays only a peripheral, though impactful, role. Ranging in age from middle school to elderly and incorporating contextual situations such as drug use, sexual harassment, suicide, Somali immigration, and even the value provided by a dominatrix (!) — the stories are full of introspection and reflection. They are more about how people absorb experiences into their own perspective, rather than the experiences themselves.
Strout is the master of the imperfect relationship — no closure, no solutions — just the reality of evolving relationships with ups and downs and fresh interior "ahas" rather than the drama of abrupt discovery via loud confrontation.
For those who loved Strout's 2008 work Olive Kitteridge, Olive,Again takes up where the latter leaves off, covering the next decade of Olive's life (it's not necessary to read the first book, this one stands up well on its own). It's a fascinating look at life from the perspective of old age, and while there is loss and plenty of "old age indignities," there is also a great sense of hope, understanding, and wisdom.
Great Quotes:
"It seemed to her she had never before completely understood how far apart human experience was."
"And then he thought: how does one live an honest life?"
"It's just the way it was, that's all. People either didn't know how they felt about something or they chose never to say how they really felt about something"
"…and during the night they would shift, but always they were holding each other, and Jack thought of their large old bodies, shipwrecked, thrown up upon the shore — and how they hold on for dear life!"
"What frightened him was how much of his life he had lived without knowing who he was or what he was doing. It caused him to feel an inner trembling, and he could not quite find the words — for himself — to even put it exactly as he sensed it. But he sensed that he had lived his life in a way that he had not known."
"But it was almost over, after all, her life. It swelled behind her like a sardine fishing net, all sorts of useless seaweed and broken bits of shells and the tiny, shining fish — all those hundreds of students she had taught, the girls and boys in high school she had passed in the corridor when she was a high school girl herself, the billion streaks of emotion she'd had as she'd looked at sunrises sunsets, the different hands of waitresses who had place before her cups of coffee — All of it gone, or about to go."
"Because as her heart became more constricted, Henry's heart became needier, and when he walked up behind her in the house sometimes to slip his arms around her, it was all she could do to not visibly shudder."
"Cindy Coombs, there's not one goddamn person in this world who doesn't have a bad memory or two to take with them through life."
Thank you to Random House and NetGalley for providing an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. The book will be published on October 15th, 2019.

Lancelot Du Lac will have to upset the odds if he's to become the first dual winner in more than 50 years of one of Glorious Goodwood's most lucrative races.
No horse since Sky Diver in 1967 and 1968 has won the £250,000 Unibet Stewards' Cup more than once.
And bookmakers remain unconvinced Lancelot will end that wait this year, placing the Dean Ivory-trained horse and winner of the Unibet Stewards' Cup in 2017, at 66/1.
More than 100,000 people are expected to attend Glorious Goodwood, from Tuesday, July 30, to Saturday, August 3.
Prize money for the five-day racing spectacular now exceeds £5.5 million including the £1-million Qatar Sussex Stakes, the cavalry charge that is the Qatar Steward's Cup and the marathon Qatar Goodwood Cup.
Ed Nicholson, head of Kindred Racing Communications and Sponsorship, said: "The Qatar Goodwood Festival is one of the highlights of the racing calendar and I am delighted that Unibet has extended its association from sponsoring three races last year to becoming the exclusive official betting partner, and in addition to sponsoring no less than nine races during the five days, including the £250,000 Unibet Stewards Cup and the £150,000 Unibet Golden Mile."
Another horse hoping to replicate past form in the race will be Justanotherbottle (25/1) – aiming to better a short-head defeat last year.
Trainer Declan Carroll said: "Justanotherbottle is in good form.
"The Unibet Stewards' Cup has been on the agenda for a while, given how well he ran there last year, and hopefully we can get him there in similar form."
Four-year-old Flavius Titus is the 12/1 market leader with Unibet after two victories from three starts in 2019.
Newbury Listed victor Khaadem, llightly-raced three-year-old Victory Day and 2018 Great St Wilfrid Handicap winner Gunmetal also figure prominently in the betting at 14/1.
Early betting indicates the £150,000 Unibet Golden Mile will be a tough race to call.
Hamdan Al Maktoum's Afaak, who rose to prominence with his nail-biting nose victory over the mare Clon Coulis in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot, is one of five 12/1 co-favourites with race sponsor Unibet.
The other market leaders include recent Listed runner-up New Graduate and History Writer.

This article, or parts of this article, has been imported from the Wikipedia page Edward, King of Portugal.
Duarte, KG, (1391 – 1438), called the Philosopher or the Eloquent, was King of Portugal and the Algarve and second Lord of Ceuta from 1433 until his death. He was born in Viseu, the son of João I de Portugal and Philippa of Lancaster. Duarte was the oldest member of the Ínclita Geração ("Illustrious Generation").
As an infante (prince), Duarte always followed his father in the affairs of the kingdom. He was knighted in 1415, after the Portuguese capture of the city of Ceuta in North Africa, across from Gibraltar. On 22 September 1428, he married Eleonora d'Aragona, who would ultimately bear him nine children (of whom five survived to adulthood). Duarte became king in 1433 when his father died of the Black Death. He soon showed interest in building internal political consensus. During his short reign of five years, Duarte called the Cortes (the Portuguese national assembly) no less than five times to discuss the political affairs of his kingdom. He also followed the politics of his father concerning the maritime exploration of Africa. He encouraged and financed his famous brother, Henrique "the Navigator", who initiated many expeditions on the west coast of Africa. That of Gil Eanes in 1434 first rounded Cape Bojador on the northwestern coast of Africa, leading the way for further exploration southward along the African coast.
In 1437, Duarte's brothers Henrique and Fernando persuaded him to launch an attack on the Marinid sultanate of Morocco. The expedition was not unanimously supported, and was undertaken against the advice of the Pope. His brothers Pedro and João were both against the initiative; they preferred to avoid conflict with the king of Morocco. Their instincts proved to be justified. The resulting attack on Tangier, led by Henrique, was a debacle. Failing to take the city in a series of assaults, the Portuguese siege camp was soon itself surrounded and starved into submission by a Moroccan relief army. In the resulting treaty, Henrique promised to deliver Ceuta back to the Marinids in return for allowing the Portuguese army to depart unmolested. Duarte's youngest brother, Fernando, was handed over to the Marinids as a hostage for the final handover of the city.
The debacle at Tangier dominated Duarte's final year. Pedro and João urged him to fulfill the treaty, yield Ceuta and secure Fernando's release, while Henrique (who had signed the treaty) urged him to renege on it. Caught in indecision, Duarte assembled the Cortes at Leiria in early 1438 for consultation. The Cortes refused to ratify the treaty, preferring to hang on to Ceuta and requesting that Duarte find some other way of obtaining Fernando's release.
Duarte died late that summer, in Tomar, of the plague, like his father and mother (and her mother) before him. Popular lore suggested he died of heartbreak over the fate of his hapless brother; Fernando would remain in captivity in Fez until his own death in 1443.
Duarte's premature death provoked a political crisis in Portugal. Leaving only a young son, Afonso, to inherit the throne, it was generally assumed that Duarte's brothers would take over the regency of the realm. But Duarte's will appointed his unpopular foreign wife, Eleonora d'Aragona, as regent. A popular uprising followed, in which the burghers of the realm, assembled by João de Reguengos, acclaimed Pedro as regent. But the nobles backed Eleanora's claim, and threatened civil war. The regency crisis was defused by a complicated and tense power-sharing arrangement between Eleanora and Pedro.
Another less political side of Duarte's personality is related to culture. A reflective and scholarly infante, he wrote the treatises O leal conselheiro ("The Loyal Counselor") and Livro da ensinança de bem cavalgar toda sela ("Book of Teachings on Riding Well in Every Saddle"), both of which now comprise the MS Portugais 5, as well as several poems and a series of miscellaneous advice that was ultimately collected in Livro dos conselhos ("Book of Counsel"). He was in the process of revising the Portuguese law code when he died.
In addition to his treatise on mounted combat, he also wrote a brief passage in his Livro dos conselhos called Regimento para aprender alguas cousas armas ("Regimen to Learn Certain Matters of Arms") which offers a few interesting points of guidance on training.
On the third hour on some days he goes to practice. And to practice he should arm himself with all weapons and goes on foot a great distance up a [hill] for a long length (piece or section) to strengthen himself. Later he returns to his house, and there he has arms of fine steel but for other men, he has there lances and axes and wooden swords. And when wishing to test [himself] with a particular weapon (arm) he does so with a heavier weapon which is something more than of those seeking to carry on the day of combat. And in proving [himself] in using these, he ends in learning various ways and guards and offences (attacks) that others know how to do. And if in eight to ten days there is no one with whom to practice, he may rehearse (practice) with anyone with whom he wants. And in this manner one will have hood courage, and learn of the uses of others in feats of arms.

For its last production of the 2011-2012 LVC season, The Wig and Buckle Theater Company completes its year-long exploration of the concept of "Theatricality" with a work by one of the world's greatest contemporary playwrights, Caryl Churchill: the forceful and disturbing 1976 drama Vinegar Tom. This season began with a lighthearted romp in the world of metatheatre—plays about the theater itself and its cultural role—with the comedy Wild Oats. The company then considered the idea of theatricality as a metaphor for human corruptibility, greed, and passion through the hit musical Chicago. Now, with Ms. Churchill's starkly episodic play about accusations of witchcraft in a small English village, the company concludes its season-long learning with a play whose structure alternates acted scenes with choral commentary separate from but emotionally reactive to the plight of its characters—a technique as old as ancient Greek tragedies and as new as the epic theater style of 20th century expressionistic political theater. This kind of technique, which interrupts the action and reminds audiences that we are sitting in a playhouse watching a play, is known as theatricalism, and Caryl Churchill has made a career out of using it to shake audiences into an uneasy awareness of agonies and injustices which our comfortable assumptions about art's role in society and our complacency about our own position in social systems have led us to ignore or accept.
Vinegar Tom is a product of the turbulent 1970s in the United Kingdom, where anger over economic inequalities, industrial decay, and spreading dissatisfaction with a failing social welfare state were leading to unrest and political paralysis. In the midst of a threatening class war between the "haves" and the "have nots" of British society, a number of politically active and socially sensitive new theatre companies came into being across the nation; these companies, particularly the now famous Joint Stock Theatre Company operating in Edinburgh and London, and a wonderfully daring feminist outfit known as Monstrous Regiment, led the charge into subject areas where conventional commercial producers feared to tread. In 1976 Caryl Churchill was just rising to critical attention in the U.K. as the author of quirky postmodern works that questioned established thinking in politics and in art, so it came as no surprise when she was almost simultaneously offered commissions to write plays for both Joint Stock and Monstrous Regiment. Curiously enough, both companies were looking back at English history for subject matter around which it might be possible to shape works which could acidly comment on the state of postmodern Britain, and independently of each other both companies hit on the mid 1600s (the period of the English civil wars and the last great British witch hunts) as a period with uncanny parallels to the country's current difficulties. Churchill, who up to 1976 had worked as a traditionally solo playwright, agreed to develop both plays in collaboration with the actors of both Joint Stock and Monstrous Regiment; delighted with the experience, she devised Light Shining in Buckinghamshire for Joint Stock and Vinegar Tom for Monstrous Regiment between Easter and October of 1976, using overlapping historical research to help speed the process.
Vinegar Tom opened at the Humberside Theatre in Hull on England's east coast in October 1976. Monstrous Regiment (whose name as a feminist theatre company was ironically lifted from a 16th century pamphlet attacking the "unnatural rule" of female rulers such as Katherine De Medici, Mary Queen of Scots, and Elizabeth I of England) scored a noteworthy success with the work, which showed how the entrapment of both sexes in rigid roles of religion, class, and gender unleashed destructive forces against marginalized women whose lack of political and economic power made them ideal scapegoats on which their "betters" could blame their own woes. Besides being a time of conflict between an authoritarian King and Church on the one hand and Parliament and Puritanism on the other, the mid 1600s in England were seeing an emerging struggle between old folklore and new medicine, in which a tradition of herbal cures and midwifery by so-called "cunning women" in local villages was being suppressed by a male-dominated medical "profession" promoting allegedly rational theories about imbalances in the body's fluids or "humours."
Churchill herself said of the play that "I wanted to write a play about witches with no witches in it; a play not about evil, hysteria, and possession by the devil but about poverty, humiliation and prejudice, and how the women accused of witchcraft saw themselves." In the original production, the scenes of the witchcraft plot were done in historical 17th century dress and the commentary songs were done in modern dress; in her debut production as a director for Wig & Buckle, Jenna Dutton has made the bold choice to do the main plot scenes in contemporary clothing, suggesting that the play's theme of marginalization of women remains a universal concern. In a sociopolitical landscape 36 years and an ocean removed from the unrest of pre-Thatcherite Britain which gave birth to Caryl Churchill's play and 370 years after the events which provide Vinegar Tom's historical setting, Jenna's artistic choice may have great resonance.
Throughout the nation in which we live, furious debates divide us; we fight over whether the poor have any rights the rich are bound to respect, whether women should have the right to reproductive freedom regardless of their economic status, whether there's only one acceptable definition for "family" or "marriage," whether one set of religious or moral convictions qualifies or disqualifies a person for office, and whether we should keep the nonconforming "others"—the homeless, the aliens, and the minorities among us—out of our neighborhoods with police stops for identification, with gated communities and self-appointed vigilantes. Those among us most fearful of losing their little share of the American Dream or their large share of political or economic power seem most ready to go witch hunting, to find some conveniently powerless scapegoat to blame for all their troubles; as long as we behave like this, Caryl Churchill's witchless witchcraft play will have the power to enchant us into recognizing the agonies and injustices inflicted by our unwillingness to see that we are all part of the problem. Enjoy the show, listen—and learn something.

Q: Our church is experiencing what needs to be acknowledged as bullying tactics between some factions. How can we deal with this situation in a healthy and Christ like way?
Bullying happens for so many reasons. Sometimes, kids are hurting and focus their anger on other students. Jealousy is a factor. But sometimes, bullies strike because they want to show off, or someone puts them up to it.

Horton Continued
Confidence in my approach is something I have never lacked, even when you drop the odd fish at the net you have to tell yourself "You don't always win". That's not to say it hurts any less.
To date I have landed 54 fish from the Church lake with a 100% hook to land ratio, that was until losing two fish during my time in a peg known as Scooters. One fish been Roger a rather large two toned mirror that I was lucky enough to have banked earlier on in the summer of 2019 at 49lb. 6oz. It hurts to lose any fish but that's how angling goes sometimes, I can only put it down to hot weather and lethargic feeding habits of the carp.
As we moved into early September, I had two nights ahead of me and i was determined not to spend it in Scooters, even if the fish were waving at me I would resist! As luck would have it the fish were settled in an area out in front of Captors, this suited my approach for the time of year. A good quality boilie with the added attraction of particle and liquids. Having fished Captors on many occasions I knew a couple of areas where presentation would be on point and a comfortable range to keep the swim topped up, should the fish play the game.
It will come as no surprise that both of my rods were baited with Mk2 pop ups, these have accounted for so many of my captures on Church lake. Anyone who has visited my swim will know it is my go-to pop up and I would highly recommend you try them for yourself .
Fishing the rods only feet apart I generously spread 7kg of mixed particle and Apex boilies over the top. That may seem a lot of bait to most anglers but you have to think the fish in Church are not of your average size. As darkness gave way to a dim early morning light, I could hear the odd carp rolling in the distance. I couldn't make out exactly where due to a dense mist that was sitting over the water. The ripples were strong enough to be reaching my margin so they couldn't have been too far away.
I'm sure we have all been there at some point, sat on your hands waiting for one of the bobbins to twitch slightly or the line to rise from the water before the alarm had made any indication! Sadly, it was not to be that day. Something wasn't right? Could it be that my rig was sitting oddly on the bottom? I decided to pull the rods in and make a slight alteration in the height my pop ups were sitting off the bottom. At first, I had opted to keep it fairly low at only an inch but I felt an increase to 2 inches would give me a better chance of getting a tug !! On the line …..
With my Mk2's now standing proud of any debris lurking on the bottom I could retire to my bedchair for some much needed relaxation. Short lived and not really relaxing, it was a little past midnight when I was stood at the water's edge attached to a heavy resistance. With a little backwards and forwards and a few nervy moments where the line pinged of the dorsal fin, a well proportioned mirror lay waiting in the net. A quick flick of the head torch revealed my 12th UK 40 pound carp and my 3rd in only 4 months.
With the help of a good friend we hoisted the scales to 42lb 4oz, a carp which we recognised as the Dynamite Fish and an old friend of mine. After the standard pictures and back slapping the rod was replaced and so was my horizontal position on the bed. I can remember it been distinctively warm that night and I found it hard to drop back off. If it wasn't the heat it was the incessant buzzing around my ears where the local wildlife were feasting on me. I genuinely felt like a Mcdonalds drive through for all and any midges wanting to feast, if only I could charge them £££.
4am on the dot and the same rod was off into Linford mode {80's sprinter for the young ones} connecting with an angry carp everything felt different to the last fish. The fight was full of head shakes and sporadic movements, signifying a small offender was on the end. Sure enough a small common popped up and headed straight over the draw cord.
At 23lb 3oz it was the last fish of a very pleasant trip; it would be a few weeks before I could return but what a return it was set to be, the next chapter will be my last for the season of 2019. Bringing all the highs and lows to a climax as well as taking a moment to reflect on my time spent with good people and big carp

For a few years a handful of close friends and Neil Mccomb enjoyed enormous success with a pop up they had christened "The Northern Special" unfortunately the ingredients became discontinued and although their little group had stock piled plenty as "back up" Neil decided to go his own way and start to experiment once more.
Neil settled on several NEW ingredients and one that had evaded any attention from other anglers due to it being over shadowed by "nicer" smelling products. He knew from the moment he rolled the first batch it was going to replace the old special and he was right. From 2003 onward it proved to be devastating no matter the venue.
After much thought Neil decided that a few pots needed to be sent to different parts of the country in a bid to confirm that the MK2's were really as good as he believed them to be
Unknown carp were caught, lake records fell and hard waters were made to look easy by the lucky few who received a pot. Fished on their own, over bait or as a snowman presentation the results kept coming thick and fast!
These really are a Game Changer !

The Long-Tailed Macaque (Macaca fascicularis) is a monkey, a primate, and a mammal. It is also known as the Crab-Eating Macaque or the Cynomolgus Monkey.
The Long-Tailed Macaque is a monkey with short arms, short legs, and a very long tail. It has dark-grey fur with light golden-brown tips. Its underparts are light-grey, and its tail is dark-grey to brown. It has a crown with hairs pushed backwards. Its feet and ears are black. Its ears sometimes have white spots. The skin on its muzzle (nose) is light greyish-pink. Its eyelids have white markings. The male has a moustache and cheek whiskers, whereas the female does not have a moustache.
It measures 38–55 centimetres (15–22 inches) tall. Males are much larger than females. Its tail is longer than its body, measuring 40–65 centimetres (16–26 inches) long.
The Long-Tailed Macaque is native to south-east Asia, from Bangladesh to Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, and the Philippines, and it has also been introduced to many nearby countries.
It lives in a variety of habitats, such as lowland rain forests, shrublands, coastal forests, and mangroves.
It is omnivorous, eating a variety of animals and plants. It does not eat a lot of crabs. It eats mainly fruit, seeds, leaves, flowers, plant roots, and tree bark. Sometimes it eats baby birds, bird eggs, lizards, frogs, toads, and fish. It also eats human food scraps. It has cheek pouches to store its food.
Its long tail is used for balance when it is in trees and when it jumps. It can jump distances up to 5 metres (16 feet).
The Long-Tailed Macaque lives in social groups of 3-20 females, their children, and one or more males. The females are the dominant members of the group, which is called a matriarchy.
The female is pregnant for 162-193 days, before giving birth to one baby. The baby is born with black fur.

Unpacking the unboxing trend. (Illustration by Diana Egan, University of Kentucky)
Screens x August 7, 2020
We Love Unboxing Videos, But Can We Really Say Why?
They are incredibly popular, forming their own subsection of YouTube. But what is it about the genre that has attracted so many viewers?
By Alicia Furlan, University of Pittsburgh
Unboxing videos have become an established feature of the modern entertainment landscape. The premise of this incredibly popular genre is straightforward: A YouTube influencer buys a product and then opens it on camera. And despite the impossible simplicity of this concept, we can't get enough of it. Our voracious appetites for the pleasure of watching people we don't know opening products we don't have created a huge demand for unboxing videos.
Seeing this demand, marketing agencies and YouTube influencers have responded with gusto. Since the videos first emerged, their popularity has grown and today have become a staple genre in entertainment, a go-to tool to be consulted before buying a product and an acknowledged part of any successful marketing strategy. So why is it that unboxing videos have been so successful at claiming this territory in our lives? What can we learn about ourselves from the fact that we love these videos?
Who Watches Unboxing Videos?
Unboxing is a versatile genre. Children can watch several popular toy unboxing channels like RyansWorld and FunToys Collector Disney Toys Review, which were two of the top 10 most-watched YouTube channels in the United States in 2018. Kids love to watch their favorite toys being unboxed, so much so that one reporter referred to the videos as "toddler crack."
Unboxing videos are a formidable force in the children's entertainment world to the point where parents, concerned that the videos engage in intense marketing toward their children and potentially impact their well-being, have called for increased regulations of the videos.
4 YouTubers To Watch When You Need Positive Motivation To Live Healthier
But unboxing isn't confined to the world of children's entertainment. Basically any product that can be unwrapped on camera is fair game. Adults flock to the internet to watch influencers unbox many different products, including makeup, tech gadgets, clothing and more.
As consumers, we love the practical utility of the videos that function as extremely detailed product reviews. Since the picture of the product comes from a third party rather than from the company that created the product, we feel like we are getting a behind-the-scenes look without the trappings of flattering camera angles and professional lighting.
If we're being honest though, it's not just the practical aspects of unboxing videos that hold the attention of the adult viewers. Just like the children whose parents can't tear them away, adults are very entertained by unboxing videos.
Why Do We Watch Unboxing Videos?
So what is it about these videos that captivates us? Perhaps we just find them to be relaxing retreats from the high cognitive demands of adult life, no different than the other mindless forms of entertainment we consume daily. After all, it doesn't take very much effort to watch someone open a package. It's a concept and an action that is incredibly familiar to us and doesn't require that we think as much as when watching a video with a fresh take or unfamiliar premise.
But it seems like unboxing videos must have some appeal besides mindless entertainment. Few video genres see the same explosion of popularity as unboxing videos, even if they require little mental engagement. Perhaps the other reason unboxing videos are attractive to us is simply because we want what's in the boxes. We live in a consumer culture, and we get significant pleasure out of buying things that we want.
Sohla El-Waylly Goes Solo, Leaving Bon Appetit Behind And Making Her Own Way
Seeing influencers who are ostensibly "just like us" opening a product could make us feel, at least over the course of the video, like we too own that product. The vicarious appeal of entertainment is definitely not a new concept. In much the same way that we might be attracted to movie characters who embody qualities we wish we had, we might love unboxing videos because they show us products we want.
But it's also possible that what attracts us to these videos isn't the product but the process. Maybe unboxing videos tap into the same feeling we get on Christmas morning when we see all the presents under the tree; the anticipation and prospect of discovery is more important than what is even inside the box. We don't get this feeling from the makeup or gadget inside, but from the addictive experience of mystery and expectation, converted to discovery and satisfaction.
Adages like "It's what's on the inside that counts" and "Don't judge a book by its cover" have become outdated, and marketers are increasingly aware of this insight in the midst of the unboxing trend. Just as the seasoned gift-giver knows to invest in the "in the moment" experience of the gift as well as in the actual value of the gift itself, the clever marketer knows to invest in the packaging just as much as, if not more than the product. More emphasis is placed on creating boxes that are colorful on the inside and the outside, incorporating brand logos within the box, filling it with attractive materials and placing the product in an ideal way.
Joji's New Album, 'Nectar,' Reminds Us of His Filthy Frank Roots
So, what it is about unboxing videos that so attracts us? Are we, as members of a consumer culture, actually not all that excited about the products we consume? Or is it our love for the products themselves that drives our love for the videos? Or maybe it's neither of these things, and we are just an overworked and tired population looking for the release of mindlessly familiar entertainment. Perhaps all of these things are true simultaneously.
Ultimately, it feels like we can learn a lot about culture from what people choose to entertain themselves with. And once we find a theory we like, it's certainly tempting to close ourselves off to all the others. For example, it is certainly more useful to lean into the idea that a culture finds products less interesting than their packaging if you're a marketer working on an unboxing campaign. But it doesn't stand to reason that alternative interpretations aren't more useful in other scenarios.
Even though unboxing videos are, on the surface, simple forms of entertainment, their appeal is multifaceted and complex. And it is here that our precious old adage can still hold true: When it comes to any of life's complex phenomena, we can't judge a book by its cover.

Boys' Town and the Conspiracy of Silence
October 17, 2017 This article was posted by TLB Staff COMMENTARY, FREEDOM 0
By Elizabeth Nahas
Hollywood's conspiracy of silence continues regarding the most vulnerable. The Left will do nothing to cut off the hand which feeds it.
Many years ago, the supermodel Cindy Crawford made a movie. She had been reluctant to engage in the world of movies but eventually acquiesced and made her debut. It was mediocre to say the least, and to my knowledge, Ms. Crawford stuck with her successful modeling career, never making a movie again. I recall Ms. Crawford's explanation for her initial hesitation. She indicated she had control in the world of modeling about as much as any woman could at that time, but regarding Hollywood and the motion picture industry, she labeled it as "Boys' Town." How correct Ms. Crawford was.
Hollywood is indeed Boys' Town, a leftist one at that, as we see unfolding with the Harvey Weinstein [pictured here] scandal. For years, young women have been tempted and pressured to sell their bodies and, often, their souls for the lure of fame and fortune. Some are lucky, if you think it is worth it, and their deal with the devil allows wildest dreams to come true as long as they maintain silence and express appreciation. Many others are not so fortunate, and their bargain with Mephistopheles offers little in return. For those who did not succumb to the lure of Mr. Weinstein's promises, their careers have suffered gravely. It takes much to resist the temptation of Hollywood's inner circle, and brava to any extremely courageous woman who is able to do so.
For the last week and a half, discussion has kept a buzz around the horror of what occurs in hypocritical Hollywood. Consequences abound for those who do not ingratiate themselves to the powers that be, and some sympathy can be allotted to those young women who bite the forbidden fruit in return for money and adulation. Other than those who are victims of rape, however, and as difficult as it may be not to capitulate, women have choices. What about the population that does not, the children whom the left is always exploiting regarding government overreach. Where are they when it comes to the gravest of all crimes? Pertaining to the Catholic Church, the Leftist media did not hesitate to expose their crimes and secrets as they absolutely should have says, I, a semi-practicing Catholic, but what about the other corridors of power? Yes, what about Hollywood where those nubile young bodies often appeal to the most deviant?
Several years ago, I read an article regarding the support for Roman Polanski because his rape of a 13-year-old was years gone past. Yes, people such as the actor Debbie Winger and the director Martin Scorsese were calling for his long-ago conviction for a crime against a minor to be vacated. The director Kevin Smith was not so benevolent and stated that rape is rape. He was a brave lone soldier amongst the collectivist left. How about Woody Allen [pictured here] consorting with and eventually marrying his partner's adopted daughter? There were some cries of purported outrage but not much, and now? Meh! Mr. Allen continues to make movies, and little is said.
A few years ago, the director Bryan Singer, of the popular X-Men movie series came under scrutiny when accusations regarding sexual inappropriateness with underaged boys was brought to light. Apparently, those charges went nowhere, but he is cited in the 2014 documentary film on child sexual abuse in Hollywood, An Open Secret. As of this day, silence ensues for him and others who are believed to have been predators of children.
The actor Corey Feldman recently expressed his belief that the downfall and eventual death of his friend and fellow actor Corey Haim was the result of his being victimized by men of power. How many more? Who are these abusers remaining under the radar? Why do men who have survived this scourge or have been victimized as adults even now refuse to reveal their perpetrators' identity? Most of them have reported their fears of retribution and loss of career. Understandable, but again, as the conspiracy of silence continues, this rapacious behavior will not cease. In fact, it will put the most innocent at graver risk.
Sexual abuse is about power and is physical, emotional, and sexual all wrapped in one. This crime is often committed under the auspices of love and kindness enticing the child to accept the confusing behavior. No good comes out of it except for the child's ability to be heard and healed. Once is too many. The worst thing to happen to a child is to be misused in this way because it is the ultimate and most intrusive element of control. The attempts are to own the child and rob them of their very essence.
With all said and done, the Left remains silent about the deadly rot that permeates Hollywood. Sexual abuse occurs in many arenas, but it is a known-extracurricular activity in the cesspool of Tinseltown. The Left must be careful not to cut off the wealthy hand that feeds it so they will not take too strong of a stance against Hollywood's sinners regardless of the victimization of children. Although the chickens have come home to roost as regards Hollywood's darkest secrets, the Left is already circling the wagons and diverting the message. One of their own, Hillary Clinton, is now accusing Donald Trump of being like Harvey Weinstein. Regarding her own husband's predatory tendencies as well as his association with a convicted pedophile, either no comment is made or she repeats the usual mantra of the Left: That was a long time ago.
Will Hollywood change its ways? Many us resoundingly say no. More scapegoats may be offered for sacrifice, but the drama will eventually drift into the background with a new story or cause taking its place. Unless a few valiant, powerful figures keep the issue front and center, all will be forgotten… Consequently, as Ms. Crawford aptly labeled it, Hollywood will remain "Boys' Town, and I repeat, "A leftist one at that."

The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) will soon take a call on methodology for allocation of coal blocks for commercial mining, a top official has said.
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) will soon take a call on methodology for allocation of coal blocks for commercial mining, a top official has said. The comments come amid some of the power producers facing low coal stocks at their plants. "The CCEA note (on methodology of commercial coal mining) is ready. I think in the next one week or 10 days it should come in the Cabinet," Coal Secretary Susheel Kumar told PTI. A discussion paper on the modalities for allocation of coal mines through auction route was earlier placed in the public domain for seeking comments of stakeholders. "We have already received comments of stakeholders," Kumar asserted. The government, he said, plans to put under the hammer around 5-6 coal blocks for commercial mining by private players. "Five to six mines will be auctioned under commercial mining," the Secretary said. Coal Minister Piyush Goyal had said earlier this year that enabling provisions have been made in the Coal Mines (Special Provisions) Act, 2015 for allocation of coal mines by way of auction and allotment for the sale of coal.
Commercial mines are alloted without specifying the end use and allow private entities to sell the fuel to buyers across sectors such as power, cement and steel. India is in the process of throwing open commercial coal mining to private firms for the first time in four decades, with the aim of shifting the world's third-biggest coal importer towards energy self-sufficiency.
The government had earlier said that opening up of commercial coal mining to private companies will bring in competition in the coal sector and will reduce power tariff. The government had said it wants to convey to potential investors that sustainable and efficient mining, not revenue maximisation, is the idea behind commercial coal auction.
