John Randle, one of the NFL's classic rags-to-riches stories, knows a thing or two about perseverance. So it's no surprise that this Vikings Hall of Famer thinks last week's loss at Carolina will end up being a good thing for this year's team.
"I think this one loss right here could really be that one loss that gets them even more focused," Randle said. "Sometimes, you have to taste defeat and realize what it tastes like. I think guys will remember this loss 10 years from now, 20 years from now.
"I think it's going to be, 'Remember, we were on that long winning streak. And then we played Carolina in Carolina. We started off slow. We weren't catching the passes we were supposed to be catching. We weren't in the right gaps.' A game like this, you correct those small things and get back on the train. A loss like this gets you back on the straight and narrow. Guys were enjoying it too much, paying too much attention to everybody telling them they were going to be the first team to play the Super Bowl in their own stadium. Sometimes you can get ahead of yourself."
There's only one way a loss like this would be remembered 20 years from now. And that's if this year's team goes on to win the Super Bowl.
Right, John?
"If they can stay healthy and focused," Randle said, "then big accomplishments definitely will come."
NFL Films captured Randle's life story for the 100th episode of the popular one-hour documentaries called "A Football Life." It's first showing will be on the NFL Network at 8 p.m. CT Friday.
Randle grew up in abject poverty in Mumford, Texas, a 176-person speck of a town near the Brazos River. He was the youngest of three boys raised by Martha, a single mother, in a small, white three-room house sitting up on cinder blocks about 200 yards off the highway.
It had no indoor plumbing, a tin roof, no insulation and a kitchen so small that Randle could extend his arms and touch the walls on both sides.
"The house was torn down years ago, but the people at NFL Films built a replica on the set in Philadelphia, and had me come see it," Randle said. "It was unbelievable how realistic it was to what I grew up in. Right down to the wash tub hanging on the nail, the little black and white television we had, the pictures we had on the wall to the back door looking out into the nice sunset."
Randle went from being an undrafted Division II player at Texas A&I to the league's highest-paid defender to the record-holder for sacks by a defensive tackle (137 1/2) to Pro Football Hall of Famer in 2010.
He lives in the Twin Cities, plays a whole lot of golf and follows his old team closely.
"The thing I like is you can see the excitement this new generation of Vikings players have playing the game," Randle said. "That's a key element. They're playing together so well.
"It reminds me of some old Vikings football. Guys rushing the quarterback, having the linebackers come up and making some serious knockout hits. Anthony Barr taking out Aaron Rodgers. They're not just playing football. They're playing some serious football. I really like them."
Randle said the late Dennis Green had a saying.
"Offense wins games, but defense shows you what we're made of," Randle said. "I love how this team plays on defense. I hope they continue to play that way. I know we lost at Carolina, but that one loss will not define this season."
Finally home again, Vikings should dispose of Bengals

Caribbean Stars chief says growth spurt will continue
ST. JOHNS, Antigua -- The need for more carriers and more airline seats in the Caribbean -- a region described as ripe for competition by Edward Gilkes, CEO of Caribbean Star -- is a factor that has contributed to the rapid growth of his carrier, he said.
Our rate of growth since our formation in 2000 has been phenomenal, beginning with 30% in the first year, and another 25% on top of that each succeeding year since, Gilkes said. We anticipate another 15% to 20% growth this year.
Competition is healthy, according to Gilkes. It forces us to stay on our toes, to scrutinize our competition and to pay close attention to whats happening in our own backyard.
In Caribbean Stars backyard are several carriers, including BWIA, LIAT, Air Jamaica and American Eagle.
Gilkes, who ruled out a possible merger of BWIA and LIAT, despite industry talk in some circles that certain Caribbean countries want the merger to take place, said that the presence of these carriers helps all of us keep fares in line and stay focused on customer service.
Air Jamaica is less of a competitive threat to Caribbean Star because we dont serve Jamaica and we dont fly to the U.S.
Caribbean Stars sister airline, Caribbean Sun, which was formed in 2002, competes with American Eagle from San Juan to Tortola, St. Maarten and St. Vincent.
Our names are similar, but we are separate airlines under the same owner, Gilkes said.
Caribbean Star is headquartered in Antigua; Caribbean Sun, based in Fort Lauderdale, runs operations from San Juan.
Gilkes joined Caribbean Star last year, following a 35-year career in the industry, most recently with LIAT.
Star has more than 100 flights a day in the English-speaking Caribbean, as far north as Tortola and as far south as Guyana, Gilkes said.
Its longest flight is its two-hour Barbados-to-Guyana service; its most successful routes are Barbados to St. Lucia, five flights daily, and Barbados to St. Vincent, also five flights a day.
Our fastest-growing route is between Barbados and Port of Spain, Trinidad, where we have four flights daily, Gilkes said.
Additional routes could be in the works, although Gilkes declined to say where. He did rule out plans to expand to the U.S. mainland or to merge with Caribbean Sun.

Jewel, I certainly appreciate the adventuresomeness of humans. That's the positive side of the some of the darker aspects of rebelliousness, but yes, I agree that all of that is part of human nature and I wouldn't want to give any of it up.
I mean, my own 'next step' is to move to Ethiopia . And I was raised in a family where we were taught that the rules usually don't apply to us. In fact, my sister once commented (after one of my off-hand remarks disregarding the rules) that I showed classic symptoms of a sociopath...but since I was raised in our family, it didn't really mean anything. Not that we were raised to be hooligans; we were raised to do the right thing, and if that's the case...not to worry too much about what other people might think the 'right thing' is. Makes for an interesting scenario in large crowds, when I habitually ignore the directions and go from point A to point B regardless of things like barricades and police tape. (I missed customs at the airport once; nothing too terribly criminal.) I mean, I'm aware of this, so I can try to rein it in, as needed.
To me, original innocence means an ability to relate to the world in the healthiest possible way. To have an absence of fear (not because of being incredibly naive), but because of a much deeper level of understanding. To truly love people, and to be able to communicate with them in a way that you both see each other clearly. Mutual respect. And yes, not so much struggle between what I want to do and what I feel I ought to do. Not because struggle is annoying, but because it is good when those two urges are in harmony. To be openly and wholeheartedly passionate.
The story of Beren and Lúthien could be read as a contrast between characters who react with love and respect for Lúthien (and her famous beauty) and those who react purely from lust and possessiveness. Of course Morgoth falls squarely on the lust side, and Celegorm (whose reaction to meeting a pretty girl is to lock her in a dungeon and threaten her family). But so does Thingol as the over-possessive father. And while of course Beren is cast as the ideal lover, Huan, too, loves and sacrifices for Lúthien. This dichotomy between loving people and using them is something I associate (strongly) with the Fall, so that original innocence is the ability to relate to people, animals, our environment, God...everything...in a way that is untainted by 'so what do I get out of this?' I don't know if Tolkien was referencing the innocence of the Garden with Huan being a talking dog, but that is a connection I make.
I don't think that is ignorance, strictly speaking. I think you can only fully know someone if you love them deeply. And while of course we do get much joy out of that...once it reaches the level of taking rather than asking or even just accepting a gift, it is twisted well beyond recognition from anything that could be called 'love'.
I think that what was lost at the Fall was a deeper communion that came naturally to humanity in its 'original' state. I think we can (with a lot of work) get glimpses of that in our lives now, but it's hardly a natural state of being in how we relate to our world.
we are acknowledging that we're not as 'in control' of our lives and actions as we would sometimes like to think we are.
As for me, I am only made whole through the weight of my sins.
Ax, not meaning to pry or assign labels, but is that a Taoist idea, Zen Buddhist, or is it a tenant of Humanism? The idea is familiar but I don't know its origins.
Well, generally big-H Humanists are leery of the whole sin thing, so probably not them. I'm not sure who said it before me (someone, certainly), but I came up with that particular formation of the idea on my own. For a novel, as it happens, but it's a deeply personal conviction for me: my numerous missteps have not only shaped but, in the long run, improved my moral and ethical understanding. I hope they have become less egregious over the years, and less hurtful to others, as I have come to grasp not only the subtler consequences of actions, but also the limits of hurt.
During our first real conversation my wife (as she prefers to be called) floated a variation of the idea: "I don't regret the horrible things that happened to me as they helped make me who I am today." As it turns out, that person is the person I fell in love with all those many years ago, and still love to this day. I like the Christian idea that God loved us first, and continues to love us, faults and all. Sometimes especially because of the faults.
As you laid out so clearly, ideally we should move towards a way of living that does not cause harm to ourselves or others. I do not think we have to accept God's grace in order to do so. But, in my opinion, it helps. I do note however that in neither case (ie with grace or without) is there a guarantee that "bad" things won't happen to us. It's just that in the grace scenario, we are told that "all things work together for good for those who love God." Which, to me is also a variation on your wise saying.
eta: Thank you Frelga, the feeling is mutual!

Wyatt and Surrey: Importance in - English Poetry
It was humanism which provoked the renewal of the English poetry after its sterility. The task of this revival was indeed a considerable one. English poetry of the time had been suffering from a languor and artistic disarray and there were none to give life and shape to it. Everything had to be done over again. King Henry VIII who was a bit of a poet himself, had made his court a centre of culture. The two poets of his court that undertook the task of reviving poetry and in Italy they found their model and stimulus. They were Sir Thomas Wyatt and Earl of Surrey.
Wyatt and Surrey
Thomas Wyatt (1503-1542) returned from his diplomatic mission in Rome with strong enthusiasm for the lyrical poetry of Rome, particularly Petrarch and a desire to fashion English verse on the model of the Italians. He brought three measures to English poetry, terza rima, ottava rimn and sonnet. He tried them all himself but only the sonnet caught on in that generation and led to a splendid outburst in the next age. He took the Petrarchan model and made it the vehicle of direct expression of personal feeling without recourse to fiction or allegory, which, it has remained till today. His thirty-nine sonnets are the first in English. Ten of them were translations from Petrarch. He is more or less a piper of Petrarch woes and the atmosphere of imitation hangs over them.
Nevertheless these sonnets for the first time introduced personal note and experience in poetry and herein lies Wyatt's great service to English poetry. His lyrics in which he captured the grace of Pre-Chaucerian lyrics, expressing courtly sentiment in melodious strains are admirable works. He also wrote some satires in Italian terza rima in imitation of Horace. These reveal his energy and bold character. As a pioneer and innovator in English poetry he ranks high, though his actual performance is not great.
The names of Wyatt and Surrey are permanently linked together in literary history. They belonged to the Tudor Period. Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey (1516-1547) was the younger and the disciple of the older man, whom he has celebrated in fine verses. His nature was less energetic than Wyatt's but he was a better artist. It was a pity that such a promising career was cut short, when he was beheaded for treason at the age of thirty. Surrey too sang in his sonnets his entirely imaginary love for Geraldine or Lady Elizabeth of Fitzerland. The elegiac note is natural for him. His love for nature was genuine and with happy effects he mingles descriptions of nature with love complaints in his sonnets. His sonnets are on a new model, an arrangement of three quatrains ending with a rhymed couplet a thing which Shakespeare took up and perfected.
Besides sonnets, he wrote some love-lyrics and songs, which are works of art. But Surrey's chief title to glory is that he first introduced the blank verse in English poetry in his translation of the Aeneid, a task done in the prison. This innovation is in the spirit of the Renaissance. His blank verse, rather rough and rigid and showing fondness for end-stopped line, has dignity and often strength. Thanks to him, English poetry acquired a magnificent instrument, which once perfected, became the metre of the drama and epic. Surrey is thus the first forerunner of the achievements of Shakespeare and Milton.
The works of Wyatt and Surrey appeared in a collection of songs and sonnets called Tottel's Miscellany, which was published in 1557 after their death. Their influence was not immediate. A whole generation passed before their lead was followed.

Q: Custom WooCommerce Template - Product Variation Main Image Doesn't Change I am using a custom template for WooCommerce so that we can change the layout of the page. It works great, however the product image isn't changing with the variation of a product. I.e. if they select 'red' the main image doesn't change. Instead, only the thumbnail in position #1 does. I know it's related to the layout, because if I revert back to the old layout it works correctly. Does anyone know why this might be? I've searched throughout, but just can't work it out.

The Buffalo Bills signed safety Jared Mayden to their active roster on Wednesday, acquiring the third-year player via the New York Jets' practice squad. To make room on their roster for Mayden, Buffalo released veteran cornerback Xavier Rhodes.
Mayden, 24, entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2020. He played collegiately at Alabama, where he had four interceptions, three pass breakups, and 59 tackles as a senior. He signed with the San Francisco 49ers after the 2020 NFL Draft, and signed with the team's practice squad before the regular season. He appeared in two games for the 49ers that season, logging 24 special teams snaps and one tackle across two games.
He remained with San Francisco as a practice squad member through October of 2021, when he was released and subsequently signed by the Philadelphia Eagles. He appeared in four games with the Eagles last season, playing primarily on special teams. He totaled six tackles in those games. After starting this season in Philly, he was waived with an injury designation in August, and then placed on injured reserve. Philadelphia released him from IR on September 20.
In October, he signed to Buffalo's practice squad, where he remained through November 3. Buffalo released him on that date, and he signed to the Jets' practice squad on November 5. He has not appeared in a game this season.
Rhodes, 32, appeared in two games with the Bills this season, totaling four tackles without a pass break-up. He started in Buffalo's 24-10 win over the New England Patriots, appearing on 87% of the team's defensive snaps in the victory.
With Jordan Poyer dealing with a knee issue that's reportedly a lateral meniscus tear, Micah Hyde already on IR after having neck surgery earlier this year, and Damar Hamlin fighting for his life following a tragic cardiac arrest on Monday night, Buffalo needed to add depth at safety. The team also has Jaquan Johnson and Dean Marlowe on the roster listed at safety, with cornerback Cam Lewis another option at the position. Releasing Rhodes could also signal that cornerback Christian Benford, who's been on IR with an oblique injury, is close to returning.

9/24 - 11/17/09- The Struggle to Save UC- Where Do We Go From Here?
Across the UC system, faculty, staff and students came out in larger numbers than most people can remember to protest the defunding of UC's academic mission and to resist the proposal to increase student fees an additional 30%. With most other cuts already implemented, momentum is building to stop the fee increases before the next regents meeting on November 17th in Los Angeles. Follow this link for a discussion of actions we can take now to stop the fee increase.
Here's a link to a compilation of media coverage from across the state and beyond.
UC-AFT Librarians voted overwhelmingly to participate in the furlough program after UC negotiators threatened across the board reductions in time, or the use of widespread temporary layoffs as cost saving measures. The furlough began for librarians on October 1, 2009 and it will be effective for one year. Any extension of the program would require additional negotiations with UC-AFT.
Please take a few minutes to navigate through our new website. There are pages dedicated to Unit 17, Unit 18, budget information, and much more.
Here's a link to an interview that UC President Yudof did with the New York Times Magazine on September 24th at the same time thousands of UC faculty, staff and students protested in earnest against fee increases and other cuts at UC.
This article contains the real interview (Above) that UC President Yudof did with Deborah Solomon of the N.Y. Times Magazine on September 24th, 2009. It also contains a mock interview with Yudof's alter ego, Alter-Y, a fictional character who answers the interview questions with some deference for the position and title he holds, and some consideration for the importance of the decisions his office is making. Finally, there is a fictional NY Times reader commenting on Yudof's real answers. Please remember that Mark Yudof contributed nothing to Alter-Y's responses in this interview.
Know Your Rights- What Can the Union Do for Me?
With furloughs, workload increases, reductions in time and layoffs, many people are feeling very unsecure in their positions at UC. As this year progresses, we can expect a variety of changes in our working lives that will raise questions about our rights, responsibilities, and responses to these changes. Protections provided in our contracts are not always obvious, and there are often multiple ways to address a concern. Please don't hesitate to contact the field representative, steward, or a union officer on your campus if you have any questions or concerns about your employment with UC. Whether or not any formal action is taken to address your concern, a consultation with a UC-AFT representative will be informative for you and the union. Here's a link to contact information for UC-AFT representatives on each campus.

The CRA revokes the registered status of Biathlon Canada
Published October 29, 2010 by Mark Blumberg
Another registered Canadian amateur athletic association (RCAAA) loses its status because of involvement with abusive charity gifting tax shelters. $25.9 million in donation receipts. This sports group should be ashamed of itself.
News release The CRA revokes the registered status of Biathlon Canada
Ottawa, Ontario, October 29, 2010… The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will revoke the status of Biathlon Canada as a registered Canadian amateur athletic association (RCAAA). The following notice of revocation has been published in the Canada Gazette with an effective date of October 30, 2010:
For issuing more than $25.9 million in donation receipts for abusive transactions arising from its role as a participant in tax shelter arrangements that, in the opinion of the Canada Revenue Agency, do not qualify as gifts, notice is hereby given, pursuant to paragraph 168(1)(d) of the Income Tax Act, that I propose to revoke the registration of the organization listed below. In accordance with subsection 168(2) of the Income Tax Act, the revocation of registration is effective on the date of publication of this notice.
RCAAAs are organizations established for the primary purpose and primary function of promoting amateur athletics in Canada on a nationwide basis. These organizations are registered under the Income Tax Act and have the authority to issue official donation receipts for income tax purposes.
An RCAAA that has had its registered status revoked can no longer issue donation receipts for income tax purposes and is no longer a qualified donee under the Income Tax Act.
RCAAAs and registered charities perform valuable work in our communities, and Canadians support this work in many ways. The CRA regulates these registered organizations through the Income Tax Act and is committed to ensuring that they operate in compliance with the law. When an RCAAA is found not to comply with its legal obligations, the CRA may revoke its registered status under the Income Tax Act.
The CRA is reviewing all tax shelter-related donation arrangements (for example, schemes that typically promise donors tax receipts worth more than the actual amount of the donation), and it plans to audit every participating charity, promoter, and investor. For more information about tax shelters, go to the CRA's Tax alert Web page at www.cra.gc.ca/alert.

Hemisphere Energy (TSX-V: HME) Provides Operational Update
By Brisco CapitalOctober 19, 2017No Comments
Vancouver, British Columbia, October 19, 2017 – Hemisphere Energy Corporation (TSX‐V: HME) ("Hemisphere" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed its fall drilling program and the expansion of its Atlee Buffalo F pool facility.
Hemisphere successfully drilled six horizontal development wells targeting the Glauconitic Sands of the Upper Mannville F and G pools in the Atlee Buffalo area of southeast Alberta. All six wells were drilled on schedule and encountered excellent reservoir characteristics. Three producers were drilled into the Upper Mannville F pool, and two producers and one injector were drilled into the Upper Mannville G pool. Completion operations are proceeding and production results will be disclosed as they become available.
As part of the development program, the Company completed an expansion of its Atlee Buffalo F pool facility in order to provide additional capacity for new wells and optimize existing production. A SKUD (Inclined Free Water Knockout) was installed as a cost-effective way to separate water in order to increase production throughput.
Work is continuing on the construction of a new Atlee Buffalo G pool facility which will allow the Company to handle production from the two new producers in the pool, and enable optimization of existing production from the pool which has been facility constrained.
"We are very pleased with the successful execution of the largest drilling program in Hemisphere's history," said Don Simmons, President and Chief Executive Officer. "These new wells, along with the completed facility expansion, are a key step forward in the development of our significant oil assets in Atlee Buffalo and set the Company up for further development in 2018."

Hello, Crafty Friends!! It's time for holiday parties to commence! And I have elegant holiday party favors that are also quick and easy to make.
I started with a 12"x12" sheet of printed burlap. I cut it into 3 even pieces giving me pieces that measure 12"x 4".
I used a steel rule die for a "door knob favor"... but I know that this type of die is not very common. For an easy solution, I turn to my good friend Google. You can easily find templates online just by searching for "Door Hanger Template Images". Pick one that has a big "knob" opening... that will be your window.
My die comes with crease lines. But if you 're doing a homemade template, find the center of your hanger ( as if you were to fold it in half), then add a 1/4" from that center point to each side and score a line. This will give you a 1/2" wide favor.
Add chocolates or your preferred treats into your hanger and fold. Staple close. Make sure you also staple the cellophane bag into place otherwise it will slip out.
For the toppers, I used my Teresa Collins bow die from the Girls Best Friend set. I just used the bow and tails to make my bows... I didn't need that little piece only because I was replacing it with button for my bow centers.
Before I pieced my bows together I embossed them using Craftwell's Sophisticated embossing folder.
I love how huge Craftwell's embossing folders are... a whopping 8-1/2"x 12"!! I can run all my pieces through at the same time!!
Then I gently sanded the raised parts of the embossing exposing the lighter color core of the Core'dinations paper.
I assembled my bows using hot glue and also glued assorted sized buttons on each bow. Then attached them to my burlap favors with more glue.
Hope you all enjoy your holidays!!

There are already two People bigger members in Kymco's line-up, the People Gti 300 and 200. The latter derives from the 300 scooter, featuring minor changes. The 125 variant which will be probably named Kymco People 125 Fi, will be presented at the Eicma motor show. It will not belong to the Gti family.
A 16" front wheel and a 14" rear wheel will be featured. The engine is single cylinder four stroke 125 c.c. fueled by injection, it could be air cooled. A new system will be introduced named DIS, (Drop Injection System), which will result to lower fuel consumption. That is expected very close or even less than 2 l/100 km (141 mpg Imperial) fuel consumption, according to the manufacturer.
Additionally two new scooters will be introduced, the E-Queen and E-Candy. These two scooters defer to performance and external dimensions. Their production is about to start. The E-Queen 3.0 is the bigger one, with greater external dimensions. A 3 KW (4.1 bhp) electric motor is equipped. The E-Candy 2.0 features a smaller 2 KW (2.7 bhp) engine, it will be cheaper and more agile.
The Kymco K-Pipe will be presented in two versions, 50 and 125 c.c.. Its air cooled, power output is 2 bhp for the 50cc engine and 8.2 bhp for the 125 c.c. variant. Probably the engine derives from the cub section of the line up since a four speed semi-automatic gearbox is equipped.
The dimensions of the wheels are 17 inches, a disc brake is featured at the front, a drum brake at the rear. The price of the K-Pipe is expected to be very low.

Q: Make one sprite follow another off centre, including rotation I'm working on a car drift game, which I want to make skid marks with using the pen.
I created a circle, radius 25 around the car that I am using as a reference for where the tires would be, and I need to get the tire sprite to follow the back end of car according to its rotation. I'm trying to adapt the formulas x'= xcosθ−ysinθ, y'= xsinθ+ycosθ but I don't know how to do it.
I set the initial x value as 0 and the y value as -25, but I know this is wrong because it doesn't stay the same when the car is moved and rotated.
Here is my project:
https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/535410396/

A: I got the solution from a user of the Scratch Forums. For the x value:
CarX-25*sin(CarRotation)

For the y value:

Rwandan journalists join East African colleagues for investigative reporting forum in Nairobi
In the East African region, the political, social and economic environments present specific challenges for investigative journalists, including increased security measures, secrecy and militarization. More than 40 journalists, editors and media representatives gathered in Kenya during September 2012 to discuss issues around 'War on Terror in East Africa: security, elections and
transparency."The conference programme, which combined national case study presentations with technical skills training, was organized by the Forum for African Investigative Reporters, (FAIR), with support from the Open Society Institute East Africa, the Kenya Media Programme, the Tanzania Media Fund and the Great Lakes Media Institute, (GLMI).
Barbara Among and Charles Mwanguhya of Uganda's Monitor Publications were among the presenters at the East Africa Investigative Journalists' Forum in Nairobi, September 2012. (Photos by Sally Stapleton/GLMI)
The opening address by Charles Mwanguhya, Uganda Monitor and FAIR board member, looked at ways of tracking money during election campaign financing, and how to bring political actors into the spotlight using credible sources. Sample stories of in-depth election coverage by The Monitor were presented by Barbara Among, who encouraged colleagues in Kenya to investigate and probe their own leaders in the context of upcoming elections.
'Not only governments issue brown envelopes'
The response by participants was animated, and included feedback on cases of bribery and censorship that journalists in the region had encountered. "How do we prevent suppression of the story?" asked one
delegate. FAIR's Kassim Mohamed, (2012 winner of the Knight Award for his work in Somalia and Kenya). advised fellow journalists that bribery when following a lead could come from all players involved in the
story -not just from governments.
The complexities of both government and media censorship were highlighted during a presentation titled 'The whistleblower in Tanzania' by Richard Mgamba, (Tanzania Guardian), and Maxence Melo, developer of Jamii Forums, a home-grown social networking service. Noting that some cases of media ownership have led to censorship, Jamii Forums seeks to help journalists work under secure environments and to publish online.
However the risks of going beyond the surface included 'death threats, terrorism charges and a fake Jamii website', related Melo, who nevertheless plans to expand coverage into the East Africa region next year.
'DRC most under-reported story in 2012′
Sally Stapleton of the Great Lakes Media Institute led a discussion around 'Warlords and looting: reporting conflict in the DRC/Kivu region' and specifically the role of Rwanda media in covering the strife inside refugee border camps. Participants concurred that investigations in the DRC cannot be conducted in traditional ways, particularly so since armed forces will not hesitate to shoot at the media.
Wanjohi Kabukuru (New African and GLMI board member) encouraged journalists and media houses to lead the way on initiatives to publish inter-border complexities. "The DRC, which holds approximately 24 trillion US Dollars of natural mineral wealth, should not be ignored by the continent's media, since many regional governments have a stake in how these resources are transported through neighboring countries," concluded Kabukuru.
Fred Mwasa cited examples of travel to DRC border regions, with the Rwanda News Agency, and the serious safety risks, as well as the risk of being provided with wrong information. "This does not mean the story cannot be told", said Mwasa, who advised his peers to collaborate with local journalists to get around the obstacles.
Following government spending through public information
The afternoon session by Ron Nixon, (The New York Times, founder of The Ujima Project and a GLMI board member), provided insight on 'how to follow government spending through public information.' There is data on African state spending freely available on the internet, such as US State Department databases,
service contracts, legal documents and US aid agency websites.
Although termed 'classified' by some government entities, data on government programs can be obtained via the US Freedom of Information Act, for example.The selection of websites and documents presented by Nixon was meant to enable investigative journalists to dig deeper using various tools and sources without getting into trouble. The discussion concluded that data from the US can be used by African journalists to expose forms of their own country's secret lobbying initiatives and foreign aid that does not produce development results.

Situational hitting is important slice of a balanced offensive attack. Understanding baseball situations and how to hit strategically in those situations set you up for a productive at bat, even if you don't get a hit.
Effective situational hitting can keep pressure on the defense and push runners around to score even if the offense isn't fully clicking.
When a "hit and run" is signaled to you the hitter, it means the runner is going so your number one responsibility is to swing and make contact with the baseball no matter where it is thrown – unless it is going to bounce in front of the plate.
If the baseball is going to bounce we are betting that the catcher won't be able to block the ball, pick it up and throw out the runner that is stealing on the pitch.
Next we want to hit a ground ball, the runner is stealing the base and we have to protect him. If we hit the baseball in the air there is a potential for a double play, or at least the runner gets back to 1st but we make an easy out.
Ideally we would like to hit it to the opposite middle infielder.
If right handed, hit a ground ball to the second baseman.
If left handed, we want a ground ball to the shortstop.
We want to hit it to the off middle infielder because he likely will be the person covering the second base bag on a steal, so there will be a big hole open for you to hit through.
However, it is more important to hit it on the ground anywhere than try to for the hole and end up with a pop fly getting caught.
If the pitcher has a good sinker (especially righty on righty, or lefty on lefty) it may be difficult to put his sinker on the ground to the opposite middle infielder.
As a righty facing a right handed sinker, it is sinking down and in to the hitter. The bat is more likely to get under the baseball and end up with a weak pop fly to the 2nd baseman or right fielder than to bat a ground ball the other way.
In this situation it is probably better to just turn on a sinker and hit a ground ball in the 5-6 hole (in between the shortstop and third baseman).
When the 1st baseman is holding on the runner at 1st base, the 2nd baseman is in double play depth which brings him a little closer to the 2nd base bag it leaves a huge hole open to the right side of the infield.
This is much easier for a left handed hitter but there are many hits to be had by hitting the baseball in the lane between the 1st and 2nd baseman.
This isn't so much situational hitting, its more handling the bat and taking what the defense gives you.
The direction of the bunt will be towards third base in this hitting situation.
Even if the shortstop fields the baseball and has to move to his left, he will most likely just take the out at 1st base. It is too risky of a throw to make to third base, because of his momentum and that the base runner will be potentially in the way of the throw.
You can move the runner up from 2nd to 3rd base by hitting a fly ball deep enough for the runner to tag up and move up a base.
The runner is more likely to tag up if you bat a fly ball to deep center or right field, it is a much further throw.
As the bunter, wait until the pitcher is about to release the baseball. Square around and just get it on the ground, in fair territory.
This bunt can even go right back to the pitcher. We are taking the out at 1st base for a run.
This is a great situation as a hitter because they are giving you a free RBI, all you need to do is just hit a ground ball toward the middle of the field.
In these hitting situations, you need a line drive or fly ball to the outfield so the runner can tag up and score.
Think of driving the ball rather than hitting a fly ball. More people get in trouble by trying to hit a great fly ball that they get a little loopy with their swing and they pop the baseball up in the infield, or they miss it all together.
Most people hit more fly balls to the opposite field and more ground balls to the pull side. Think of driving the baseball middle of the field to the opposite gap, this will give you a good approach for driving the runner in from third base.

Do most MLB players practice hitting from a Tee? My son who typically bats 4th picks up some bad habits and then has to work hard to fix them. Just wondering if this happens elsewhere.
Yes, most MLB hitters use a tee at some point throughout the day. It is mostly used during the season to get loose before batting practice or flips in the batting cage. But there are some guys that would prefer to hit off a tee every day then actually hit batting practice on the field. During the off season most hitters will hit off a tee quite a bit to get their swing grooved and especially if they want to fix any "problems" with their swings. Its a great way to be in 100% control of your swing. The batting tee is a great tool.

Le codex de Dresde (ou Codex Dresdensis) est le plus complet des quatre codices mayas authentiques connus.

C'est avec l'aide de ce manuscrit que le déchiffrement de l'écriture hiéroglyphique des Mayas a été rendu possible. Il est conservé au SLUB, la Bibliothèque d'État et universitaire de Saxe à Dresde, d'où son nom.

Origine et date
Ce manuscrit est, dans l'état actuel des connaissances, une copie ou une réédition d'un original ancien non conservé de la culture maya classique. En se basant sur les dates de début et de fin des conjonctions astronomiques mentionnées dans ce codex, John Eric Thompson a daté la copie entre 1200 et 1250. Ainsi, le codex pourrait provenir du nord du Yucatán où existait, entre 1200 et 1450, la dernière grande communauté Maya.

Histoire
En 1739, le directeur de la bibliothèque royale de Dresde, Johann Christian Götze, découvre ce document chez un particulier, à Vienne, et l'obtient, probablement de manière gratuite en raison de son caractère non identifié et donc sans valeur. Il décrira plus tard le manuscrit comme « Un livre mexicain avec des personnages inconnus et des figures hiéroglyphiques décrits des deux côtés... ». On ignore comment le manuscrit est arrivé à Vienne, mais on pense qu'il aurait été envoyé en 1519 par Hernán Cortés au roi Charles Quint qui avait nommé Cortés gouverneur et capitaine général du territoire nouvellement conquis au Mexique. En effet, au , lors de la conquête espagnole sur l'Amérique du Sud, la cour royale de Madrid appartenait à la Maison de Habsbourg. Le manuscrit est alors probablement arrivé à Vienne via le lien dynastique des Habsbourg avec leur Autriche natale.

En 1740, Götze remet le manuscrit à la bibliothèque royale.
En 1786, première restauration attestée du codex (réparation avec de la baudruche).
En 1810, Alexander von Humboldt publie un extrait de ce document, une planche avec les premières reproductions des pages 47, 48 et 50-52.
Entre 1825 et 1826, le peintre italien Agostino Aglio recopie le codex, au cours de ses recherches de manuscrits mexicains dans les bibliothèques européennes, pour le compte de  Lord Kingsborough. C'est la première reproduction complète du codex de Dresde. Il établit également la numérotation toujours en vigueur des pages 1 à 74, omettant les quatre pages vierges que l'on rencontre dans ce codex.
En 1835, le bibliothécaire en chef Falkenstein décide de présenter le manuscrit en deux parties approximativement égales ( et ) et de les placer entre deux vitres suspendues, de manière que le codex puisse être regardé des deux côtés.
En 1880, le bibliothécaire Ernst Förstemann publie un fac-similé du codex, obtenu par le procédé de chromolithographie. Entre 1887 et 1897, il déchiffre la section du codex concernant le calendrier. Il découvre également le système vigésimal de numération maya et interprète les tables de Vénus et des cycles lunaires. Il détermine aussi l'ordre correct de lecture du codex.
Entre 1892 et 1904, Paul Schellhas parvient à identifier une trentaine de dieux mayas auxquels il associe des hiéroglyphes spécifiques.
Dans les années 1950, Youri Knorozov utilise le codex de Dresde et l'« alphabet » de Landa, basé sur les archives de 1566 de l'évêque du Yucatán, Diego de Landa, pour déchiffrer l'écriture maya : il démontre que c'est un système mixte, combinant des éléments sémantiques et phonétiques.
En février 1945, au cours du bombardement de Dresde, la bibliothèque où est conservé le codex subit de lourdes pertes matérielles. Les manuscrits les plus précieux étaient protégés contre les bombes, dans un sous-sol qui fut inondé. Le codex subit des dommages importants dus aux infiltrations d'eau à l'intérieur des vitres du manuscrit.
Il est alors méticuleusement restauré. Cependant, quelques pages ont été restituées en dehors de leur séquence normale, dans la vitrine d'exposition, en raison des dégâts des eaux qui ont fait adhérer certaines zones peintes au verre protecteur.
Désormais, le manuscrit maya est le centre du trésor dans le musée du livre du SLUB. Dans des conditions climatiques et de luminosité optimales, il continue à être présenté couché, en deux parties, entre des plaques de verre, dans une vitrine en verre blindé équipée de miroirs.

Description
Le codex est composé de 39 feuillets de papier d'amate, illustrés recto-verso sauf quatre pages demeurées vides. Les feuilles individuelles, de  par 9, sont reliées par de fines cuticules et formaient à l'origine un leporello d'une longueur totale de , muni de couvertures de protection en bois, recouvertes de peau de jaguar. Il se présente aujourd'hui sous forme de deux bandes d'une longueur d'environ  chacune,  insérées entre deux plaques de verre. Le support végétal de ce papier « amate » est un matériau constitué de fibres libériennes de ficus, obtenu par broyage et dont la surface était apprêtée à la chaux comme base d'écriture.
Ce codex porte la marque d'au moins six scribes différents, chacun se distinguant par le thème traité, le style d'écriture et les glyphes utilisés : le scribe des figures divines (pages 1 à 3); l'écrivain de l'almanach journalier (pages 4-23); l'auteur principal (pages 24, 45 à 74, 29 à 44); le scribe des tables du nouvel an (pages 25-28); l'auteur des rituels sacrificiels (pages 30-35), le scribe des tables de Mars.
Les pages intermédiaires vides, de même que certains calendriers de divination restés incomplets, indiquent que le manuscrit n'a pas été créé en une seule opération mais était complété en permanence. Les illustrations, d'une grande finesse, utilisent les couleurs de base, rouge, noir et bleu maya, d'origine végétale.
Environ 250 des quelque 350 signes du codex ont été décodés. Parmi ceux-ci, une centaine de caractères sont syllabiques et environ 150 représentent des mots tels que les noms des dieux. La plupart font référence aux figures jointes et commentent les images en phrases courtes.
Le codex de Dresde contient des tableaux astronomiques d'une grande précision. Il est particulièrement célèbre pour son cycle de la Lune et celui de Vénus. La série lunaire a des intervalles qui sont en corrélation avec des éclipses. La table de Vénus est liée aux mouvements apparents de la planète.

Numérotation, séquence des pages

La numérotation des pages a été effectuée par Agostino Aglio, qui fut le premier à transcrire le manuscrit entre 1825 et 1826. Pour ce faire, il a divisé le codex en deux parties, intitulées Codex A et Codex B. Et il a établi la séquence de lecture suivante : Lecture complète du recto du Codex A, suivie de la lecture du verso en sens inverse, c'est-à-dire à partir de la dernière feuille du recto, puis lecture du Codex B dans le même ordre.
On estime aujourd'hui que, initialement, le Codex se composait d'un seul bloc qui était lu recto-verso dans une seule séquence, c'est-à-dire des pages 1 à 24 suivies des pages 46 à 60 au recto, puis 61 à 45 au verso.
En 1836, le bibliothécaire K.C. Falkenstein a ajusté la position relative des pages pour des « raisons esthétiques », ce qui a donné les deux bandes de taille similaire connues aujourd'hui. En déchiffrant le codex, le bibliothécaire Ernst Förstemann a découvert une erreur dans l'attribution des numéros de pages par Aglio en ce qui concerne les feuilles 1/45 et 2/44 : Les pages, représentées par Aglio et portant les numéros 1, 2, 44 et 45 dans l'ouvrage publié par Lord Kingsborough, sont en réalité les pages 44, 45, 1 et 2 dans la numérotation inchangée établie par Aglio.
Dans la présentation actuelle du codex, le renversement des feuilles 6/40, 7/39 et 8/38 est dû à une erreur survenue lorsque les feuilles ont été replacées dans leur étui de protection après séchage, à la suite des dégâts des eaux consécutifs au bombardement de Dresde en 1945.

Contenu
La description du contenu du codex tient compte de la séquence de lecture correcte des pages, soit : 1-24, 46-74, 25-45 et de la correction apportée par Förstemann aux feuilles 1/45 et 2/44.
Le codex est divisé en dix chapitres:
1. Introduction du code: les vêtements des divinités (pp. 1-2), le sacrifice de Jun Ajaw (page 3), l'invocation des dieux, la préparation des prophéties (pages 4-15).
2. Almanachs de la divinité lunaire, Ix Chel (pages 16-23), déesse de la guérison et porteuse de maladies. Discussion sur les maladies, les remèdes et les dangers à la naissance.
3. Tableaux de Vénus (pages 24, 46 à 50): images de la divinité de Vénus et informations (faits, dates, intervalles, directions et signe correspondant) sur l'apparition de la planète Vénus en tant qu'étoile du matin et étoile du soir, sur une période de 312 ans, sur la base du cycle de Vénus de 584 jours. Vénus était considérée comme une divinité agressive et le calendrier de Vénus était probablement utilisé pour calculer le succès des campagnes militaires.
4. Tableau des éclipses solaires et lunaires (pages 51-58): Calcul de l'incidence des éclipses solaires et lunaires. Les Mayas considéraient les éclipses qu'ils pouvaient prévoir comme des périodes de revers et de danger dont ils tentaient d'éviter l'impact par des rituels et des sacrifices.
5. Tableau de multiplication par le nombre 78 (pages 58-59). L'importance de ce nombre n'est pas connue.
6. Prophéties de Katún (page 60): Décrit les catastrophes pouvant survenir à la fin d'un katún. Dans le calendrier maya, un katún est une période de 20 ans qui revient, après 13 cycles de katún, soit après 260 ans, avec un nom spécifique. La fin de cette période est associée au risque de famine, sécheresse et tremblements de terre.
7. Nombre de serpents (pages 61-62), piliers de l'univers (pages 63 à 73): Les nombres de serpents indiquent des événements mythiques sur une période d'environ 30.000 ans. Les pages suivantes font référence aux piliers de l'univers et aux diverses manifestations du dieu de la pluie, Chaac. Pour les Mayas, l'origine du temps est étroitement liée à l'origine de la pluie. Ces passages utilisent les mêmes mots que les inscriptions en pierre de la période classique dans les villes mayas telles que Palenque et Tikal.
8. La grande inondation (page 74): Représentation d'un désastre cosmique entraînant la destruction du monde par une grande inondation. Suivant les traditions des Mayas, le monde existant dont la destruction est prédite ici a déjà été précédé par trois autres mondes.
9. Cérémonies du début de la nouvelle année (pages 25-28): Description des rituels que le roi et le prêtre devaient effectuer au cours des cinq derniers jours de l'année solaire. Les cérémonies du Nouvel An étaient considérées comme des recréations symboliques de l'univers après une apocalypse.
10. Almanach (calendrier prophétique) de l'agriculture (pages 29 à 41), tables du voyage du dieu de la pluie et de Mars (pages 42 à 45): Le calendrier prophétique contenait des affirmations sur le temps qu'il faisait et la récolte, et servait également de guide pour les cultures. Les pages 42 à 45 comprennent de courtes sections du voyage du dieu de la pluie et de Mars avec ses mouvements cycliques de 780 jours. La dernière partie de la dernière page comprend une table de multiplication par 91, un nombre dont la signification est actuellement inconnue.

In recent years, many non-governmental organizations in Palestine, including TYO, have increased programming in the field of youth service learning and volunteerism. There has been an influx of internationals coming to Palestine to volunteer, but now we are seeing more and more Palestinian youth participate as well. However, Palestine still struggles with volunteerism for three reasons - social, economic, and lack of awareness. Frequently, Palestinian youth are unaware of the benefits and importance of voluntary work on both the personal and societal level. Volunteerism benefits the community as a whole while also empowering youth to feel active and engaged. But because many of Palestine's youth are unaware of the benefits of volunteering for themselves, they have little motivation in participating in voluntary work.
Many youth do not consider volunteering due to economic reasons. Because of high unemployment rates in Palestine, many young people don't even consider volunteerism because it has no financial incentive. What they don't realize is that increasing their professional skills through volunteerism can ensure that they are marketable for what jobs are available which subsequently will stimulate the economy and improve conditions in the country.
TYO is making this possible by showing our young volunteers the realities of people living in disadvantaged areas and refugee camps, as well as including them in hands-on activities for the betterment of the community. Community activities such as trash pick-up, park cleaning, and field days for children throughout the West Bank allow youth to see the needs of people with their own eyes.
A community that embraces the culture of volunteerism is necessary in creating a sustainable future for Palestine.

When is The Best Time to Buy a Laptop?
Emily Rella
There are no revolutionary life hacks. There is a calendar of presentations, the conditional frequency of the release of new models. There is also a calendar of holidays and the ebb-and-flow season of students from places of study, to which manufacturers often link presentations of new products, and stores – price changes.
When can you buy the newest or not quite new, but cheaper than usual? Follow the market and news. And if there is an urgent need, you can buy any laptops even today – there are enough competitive models with similar characteristics and price tags on the market.
Calendar plan
All laptop presentations are conventionally held in three approaches:
season "back to school" – from June to August present "school" models that do not differ in performance, but are not worth all the money;
pre-holiday season – from September to December show more expensive and more impressive models;
spring presentations are held from February to April.
Almost no model hits the market immediately after the announcement. New laptops can be bought, as a rule, a month and a half after the presentation. Most often we are talking about July-August and November-December when preparations for the new school year or New Year / Christmas are in full swing. At the same time, most large retail chains drop their prices. That is, laptops can be bought at full price in March and September and at a discount in August and November. This was the case, for example, with the prices of the Mac Book 12, which at the beginning of the year cost about $ 1300, and by August it had fallen in price to 1150. There is no guarantee that it will be the same next year and with any other model.
To see how much it costs to build a gaming laptop, go here.
At the helm of Intel and NVIDIA
In addition to the release of new laptops, manufacturers also update the current lines. As a rule, not more often than once a year (for business laptops – once a year and a half). These updates are also not accidental and are tied to the updates of Intel processors. The latter, for example, happened in September – Intel introduced the 7th generation Kaby Lake processors. But it will only release them in 2017, which means that new laptops running on Kaby Lake can also be bought no earlier than next year (tentatively – in the spring). Intel's next solid architecture update, Cannon lake, isn't expected until the second half of 2017.
For gaming laptops, it's not so much the processor that matters as the graphics. It's up to NVIDIA: the company introduced new Pascal GPUs in August. Updated laptops can be bought today – Pascal GPUs are in the latest Alien ware, MSI, and Asus (new GPUs are labeled "ten" – GTX 1060, GTX 1070).
Myth: old laptops will definitely fall in price after a line update
No, the release of a new model in the lineup does not necessarily mean that the previous laptops will be cheaper to buy. But this practice exists. Microsoft , for example, cut the price of the Surface Pro 3 by $ 100 after the Surface Pro 4 was announced.
Are we buying at a good price?
Compare prices, use the price change calendar on price aggregators, or follow the prices for the model you are interested in yourself. It is unlikely that there will be a discount greater than $ 100-150, but this is already a great deal.
Visit A Best Laptop if you're looking for the best laptop under $400.
If you are thinking about waiting for the release of new laptops or not:
Apple updated the Mac Book Pro line in September, there will be no other major innovations in the near future;
The CPU for Windows laptops will not be updated until next fall, but new Windows laptops rarely stay in the top-performing for more than six months.
If during the season of sales you didn't have time for discounts or you didn't like anything, wait for February – then the new items shown in the fall will reach our market. Well, new announcements will begin.

AI explodes across the healthcare and life sciences, digital health focuses on individual care, hospitals start to mine meaningful small data and blockchain moves finally from hype to reality.
AI explodes across healthcare. Machine learning become pervasive across clinical and operational outcomes.
In 2019, digital health will come of age. Favorable reimbursement policies for clinically relevant digital health applications will expand care delivery models beyond physical medicine. 2019 will be a reality check for two of the most hyped healthcare technologies of this decade – Artificial Intelligence (AI) and blockchain – predict experts from Frost & Sullivan.
Globally, 2019 will be a year of value-based care. Access to affordable and quality care will be a key political agenda for upcoming elections in emerging markets such as Asia, Africa, and Central and Eastern European countries. Non-traditional players with digital technologies, such as Amazon, Ali Health, Microsoft and IBM, will provide the required impetus to public health systems to ensure accessibility and affordability of care.
15% of global healthcare spending will be tied to Value-based Models.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) for healthcare IT Application will cross $1.7 billion by 2019. By operationalizing AI platforms across select healthcare workflows would result in 10–15% productivity gain over the next 2-3 year.
Digital health tech catering to out of hospital will grow by 30% and cross $25 billion.
Asia becomes the New Local Innovation Hub for Global Drug and Device OEMs.
Analytics shifts from Big Data to Meaningful Small Data by Hospital Specialty. By end of 2019, 50% of all healthcare companies will have resources dedicated to accessing, sharing, and analyzing real-world evidence for use across their organizations.
Healthcare will be a dominant vertical in voice applications.
Blockchain move from Hype to Real Initial Commercial Implementations generating ROI. By end of 2019, 5%-10% of healthcare-focused enterprise blockchain applications will move from pilot stage to partial/limited commercial availability.
Innovative private insurance models shake up healthcare payer industry.
In digital health transformation we need to change questions we ask and what we are trying to achieve. We shouldn't focus on the mirage of technology but on what really matters – the patient.
"AI and machine learning will further evolve human and machine interaction. More specifically, AI will begin to see fruition, particularly in the imaging diagnostic, drug discovery, and risk analytics applications. Increasing cost burden from chronic health conditions and aging population will be the chief driver for digital health solution such as RPM devices, telehealth platforms, PERS, and mHealth applications", predicts Reenita Das, partner and Senior Vice President of Healthcare and Life Sciences at Frost & Sullivan in her article for Forbes.

Wouldn't it be great to accomplish the majority of your goals by this time next year?
As we move into 2019, be honest; how many of your 2018 New Year's resolutions did you manage to complete?
IT teams need to get serious about end-user security, prepare for new privacy regulations and brace for a tsunami of IoT data.
To prosper in 2019, IT staff and departments need to automate mundane tasks, use data more wisely and move more quickly if they want to drive innovation within their organizations. Tech teams need to embrace multi-cloud architecture, improve their collaboration and get real about cybersecurity and artificial intelligence (AI).
Amidst a slew of dark economic forecasts, streamlining and efficiency are the order of the day.
Everyone's time is valuable, whether they assign a dollar value to it or not. Poor time management skills can cause a lack of sleep, unhappiness, and even health complications such as stress. Just the thought of having too little time to complete work is enough to make most people feel stressed!
If you're curious about the top tech trends to watch in 2019, you've come to the perfect place! Back in October, Gartner released a research paper that predicted the ten biggest strategic tech trends for next year. Their paper showed how these trends will help drive new business models and disruption over the next five years.


Two of Robert Howard's choral compositions will feature on the programme of this year's Prescot Festival, of which he is founder and director.
In a concert commemorating 100 years since the end of World War One, the Prescot Festival Chorus will sing Robert's haunting setting of Ave verum corpus. Either side will be two classic works by Gabriel Fauré, Cantique de Jean Racine and Requiem. In excess of 115 singers are expected to come from across the North West to join the chorus for the concert, which takes place at 7pm on Saturday 16 June at Prescot Parish Church.
In preparation for the occasion, Prescot Parish Church Choir, for whom Ave verum corpus was originally written, sang the piece during the Eucharist on Sunday 13 May. Later the same week, they led the way in singing Robert's 2017 anthem Alleluia at an RSCM 'Sing & Sup' workshop/rehearsal at the Church of St Nicholas, Sutton, under the baton of Dr Ian Sharp.
Prescot Parish Church Choir will then sing the meditative Alleluia as the anthem on Sunday 24 June, at a service of Choral Evensong marking the close of the 2018 Prescot Festival. Canticles are by Richard Shephard (his Song of Mary and Song of Simeon in place of the Magnificat and Nunc dimittis, respectively). All are welcome to Prescot Parish Church at 6pm. The service is followed by the Proms-style Festival Finale, featuring the Maghull Wind Orchestra.
As well as Ave verum corpus and Alleluia, two more of Robert's pieces received performances in May 2018. The composer himself played The Clown (1991) and Folk Lament (1994), both early works for solo bassoon, as part of the South Liverpool Orchestra's concert at St James's Woolton on 15 May.
