Pleased, relieved and excited: Independent shops on Yarm's high street welcome back shoppers
Non-essential shops have opened their doors following the second national lockdown
Anna TwizellCommunity Reporter
This year has been tough for independent businesses.
But as the second lockdown has ended and Teesside has entered Tier 3 restrictions, non-essential shops have been able to welcome their customers back.
From quirky Christmas gifts and decorations for the home to sweet treats and luxury clothing to make you feel extra special, Yarm's high street has a great selection for everyone.
And on this bright but chilly Wednesday morning, Teesside Live spoke to independent business owners to see how they felt about reopening their doors.
"Thank goodness! We're thrilled, everyone's worked so hard, we've done what we can so people feel safe," said Stephanie Richardson, owner of family business Strickland and Holt, which has been in her family 160 years.
"We've gone online, put much more on and offered a click and collect system.
"Our coffee shop has closed but we have a takeaway service.
"I'm absolutely sure we'll be busy, people do look like they feel safe, we're determined to keep it going."
And while Stephanie is thrilled to be greeting customers again, her concern over the last few weeks has been selling her Christmas stock.

"If we can make everyone feel safe we'll be busy.
"If we weren't able to open now we'd have struggled, we're three times as busy in December and we buy our Christmas stock in January/February time, just before all this happened.
"We've got to pack into three weeks all the Christmas trade you have," Stephanie added.
Situated in the heart of the Georgian town, customers are spoilt for choice with cards, decorations and quirky gift ideas.
And even though they haven't been able to open their restaurant, Stephanie has wisely utilised the space by creating an upstairs Christmas market.
"Our market upstairs is for designer makers and for people to see items being made," she continued.
"I just want to help the high street, the idea is to give them some reasonable space to see if having a shop would suit them," Stephanie said.
The upstairs room is filled with unusual handmade gifts from cards, art and lamps to candles, clothing and wreaths.
And the best part is, you can watch the designer working their craft while you shop.
"We're trying to make it really interesting, there's more going on than you'd think now," Stephanie added.
Attitudes Womenswear owner Victoria Serino is also relieved to welcome customers back into her store.
"We're anxious and excited, but happy to be open, delighted," she said.
"Customers have missed us, people feel like we're back to pre-covid times," Victoria said.

Victoria has had the store for 25 years, which specialises in clothing, footwear and jewellery from various designers.
With Christmas now in sight, Victoria is confident they will have a busy few weeks on the run up to the festive season.
"They come in for a present but leave with something for themselves," Victoria joked.
Employee Alex Coates was also relieved to be back in the shop and greeting well known faces.
Alex said: "You can tell people are buzzing to be back out, it's usually a really good time, the media are calling it Wild Wednesday, so we'll have to see."

Kimberley Overfield has owned Cloud Cuckoo for the past 11 and a half years.
"I'm relieved, since we opened at 9am we've had a constant trickle of people," said Kimberley.
"I'm glad they're supporting us and to see a friendly face is lovely.
"It's just that time of year, people need presents.
"You can never tell what it'll be like, but there's been people needing stocking fillers."

Cloud Cuckoo is a gift shop that sells a range of home furnishings and hand painted furniture as well as stocking crafts from local artists too.
Candles and decorations were the most popular purchases of the morning, and Kimberley believed people were wanting to make their homes extra special for Christmas this year.
"People are wanting to feel festive and treat themselves," Kimberley said. "And after the difficult year we've had, why on earth not?
Violette Lingerie owner Elaine Cox took over the store six years ago, which had been there since 2010.
"Fantastic, it's the best thing.
"When you know the area, it takes a while for customers to get their confidence back.
"November/December like everyone is usually busy, but May, or spring, is our busiest time," Elaine said.

Specialising in designer lingerie, nightwear and beachwear, it is the only shop of its kind in Yarm and the only shop in the Tees Valley selling some imported lines that customers can't buy online or elsewhere locally.
"I don't do online, most customers prefer to see it and feel it.
"We need to get people out and communicating again, people want to be out.
"The lockdown has helped create more online selling, but customers love the service here," Elaine added.
But over the past few difficult months, and as shopping trends have changed, Elaine has worried about what will happen to independent local stores like her own.
"I found it quite depressing if you're a people person.
"They shut the lot, hopefully we'll all survive, financially people don't have megabucks behind them in the main, unless they're doing it for a hobby, it's been a big struggle but I hope for the best," Elaine added.
Layla's manageress Alison Carter has run the boutique for the past 13 years which sells clothing, jewellery, accessories and more.

"I'm very pleased to be open, so far so good!
"I'm hoping people will support local, I'm hoping for the best.
"It's a shame hospitality is closed because people love to come here for something to eat and a browse, it's been a blow being put in Tier 3," Alison said.
After months of us spending more time at home, Alison believes a few treats and getting out could really offer a boost to people at the end of the year, and the high street needs the support more than ever.
"Now we're used to it and we know what we're doing, it's better, earlier you didn't know what to expect.
"Retail therapy, it really is a therapy for women, coming out shopping.
"With Debenhams and Arcadia Group going in the media, it makes you think great, doesn't look good for the high streets," Alison said.

Beryl Thompson shares a Christmas pop up shop with her friend, Linda Wood, below Stephen Russel Hairdressing.
Linda also has a shop called Shanti in Richmond, but on the run down to the festive season the pair are sharing the space in Yarm to sell Christmas decorations, clothing, handcrafted goods and treats from around the world, including India and Nepal.
Beryl said: "We've had a lot of interest this morning, I've had five sales already this morning.
"We met doing pop up shops, I'd do charity events and ladies shopping.
"We've got lots of different things, little bags starting from £1.50.
"I think we'll be busy, while we were dressing the window people were asking when we'll open and I said when Boris lets us."

Beryl's son owns the hairdressers upstairs and encouraged her to open the pop up shop in the space that was otherwise standing unused.
"The shop was just stood empty, an empty shop doesn't look good."
"We've got masks, visors, sanitiser, it's a very personal environment, you've got to be safe.
"We've had a lot of interest, these are bleak times but this is jolly stuff, it's bright, we need to get on with things," Beryl added.
Natalie South is the owner of This Must B The Place, which she took over a year and a half ago, previously known as DC Couture Boutique & Prom Studio.
"It's been horrendous, I took over the business, next thing covid came.
"On social media we've had some loyal customers.
"We opened the prom studio on the third floor but of course they were all cancelled," Natalie said.

The shop specialises in clothing for special occasions, from proms and weddings to days at the races, but as people haven't had anywhere to get dressed up for this year, they have adapted their clothing lines to include loungewear too.
"Once places for food open people will come for shopping, we do a glass of fizz on a Saturday.
"We're in the midst of doing our own label but that's all gone on its head for now.
"We're trying to remain positive," Natalie added.
Talia Good is the assistant manager of This Must B The Place, and although there are no upcoming proms, she is confident customers will return for Christmas shopping and stocking fillers.
Talia said: "Over the moon to be honest, we've been quite busy, we do little gifts too."
The Pop Up Shop gives local traders an opportunity to sell on the high street, from crafts and sweet treats to stationary and accessories, it has something for everyone.

It is Lynne Mackenzie's second year of trading in the space, but she found the high street to be quieter than she expected.
"I think it's more of a case of people going to clothes shops that have been closed.
"There's a lot more parking spaces than you'd usually find," Lynne said.
Sue Wright of Sue's Cakes was sharing the pop up shop, selling baked goods and taking orders for Christmas cakes.
"It's been slow, a bit disappointing.
"Older ladies call for a coffee but they can't, and maybe because it's not the same shopping on your own," Sue said.
Paul Cartmell is the owner of Cartmell Electrics, a family run business that he has managed for the last 36 years.

"We have been open throughout, we sell home and hardware so we've been essential.
"We've not been busy, but we've ticked overly nicely.
"With everything opening today it hasn't been any busier, a lot of people have shopped online," Paul said.
A steady stream of customers were inquiring about freezers, vacuum cleaners and lights, but Paul didn't think the town would pick up properly until hospitality businesses were able to reopen.
"Yarm High Street is usually only busy when the cafes and restaurants are open, there's a rush on the morning with school runs but that's about it at the moment," Paul added.

Will Your Child Benefit From Private Tutoring?
The right tutor can engage and encourage your child to do well in school.
Parents hire private tutors to help their children with specific academic issues, provide remedial instruction, or assist with advanced studies. As with all aspects of a student's education, there are several factors that influence your child's academic success. Knowing what to expect when hiring a tutor can help your child receive the greatest benefits from private tutoring.
It is important you have reasonable expectations of your private tutor. The tutor is providing additional or supplemental instruction. Expecting the tutor to be your child's primary instructor is setting both the tutor and your child up to fail. Private tutors rarely have interaction with a student's school. For this reason, they have to be careful not to undermine the teaching that takes place during the school day. Children can easily become confused and suffer academically.
Many children benefit from private tutoring beyond the academic progress. They frequently become more motivated to achieve in the classroom. Their self-confidence gets a major boost from the one-on-one interaction and positive reinforcements private tutors offer to promote a healthy self-image in their students. Children also acquire better learning habits and study skills when they have a private tutor.
It is your responsibility to know the qualifications of the tutor you hire. Going through an agency such as Educational Tutorial Services insures that the individual you hire has completed all background checks and credential verifications. You can then set expectations for that tutor specific to their abilities and your child's needs. Without going through an agency, you have no guarantee the tutor is actually proficient in a particular subject area.
Whatever your child's particular challenge, a qualified tutor can help your child overcome learning obstacles and develop self-confidence. A private tutor can also serve as a mentor for your child. Following these recommendations is the best way to ensure your child benefits from private tutoring!
The right tutor can help students in foster care bridge learning gaps while building confidence and providing support.
One reason there is a priority need to provide tutoring services to children and youth in foster care is because they often have serious gaps in their education. Between moving from foster home to foster home and changing schools frequently, foster care students typically are so preoccupied with their family situation and their future that it can be extremely difficult for them to concentrate. Worrying about passing a test can seem insignificant when you do not know if you will be in the same school the following day.
Tutors should be able to start the session as soon as the student arrives. After a brief welcome, the tutor should be ready to get down to business. She will ask the student how school is going and review homework assignments. Whatever the learning goal is for that session, the tutor has relevant worksheets and other materials ready to share with the student.
It is not uncommon for adults to come and go in the lives of foster care children. A stable adult presence can make all of the difference to a young child or struggling teen. You want a tutor that arrives on time and always keeps her appointments. Unreliable tutors send the wrong message to students who may already need a reason to care about school.
Foster care students need to be around adults with positive outlooks on life. Only a tutor that is optimistic can provide the authentic encouragement students need to meet and exceed academic goals. Tutors that have good attitudes serve as role models for students. Students become more confident when they are around confident adults.
There are days when foster care students are more emotional than others. A visit with family members can cause children to act out or be disruptive during the tutoring session. A good tutor cares about the type of day their students are having. An empathetic tutor understands while still requiring students to focus on the lesson at hand.
Every tutoring session should be beneficial to the student. The only way to make sure that happens is if the tutor is knowledgeable, prepared, and passionate. The right tutor can definitely bridge educational gaps experienced by children and youth in the foster care system. Contact us to learn more about tutoring services for foster care students.
Private tutoring can give at-risk students the confidence they need to succeed.
Expert tutoring services rely on research-based best practices to help low performing and at-risk students succeed in school. Effective instructional strategies are required for tutors who may only meet with students a few hours each week. Low-achieving students can easily bridge learning gaps and become motivated to do well in school. It just takes the right tutor to help make classroom lessons relevant and boost student confidence.
The fastest way to determine if a tutor or tutoring service is being effective is to review student academic achievement and test scores. The primary goal of tutoring is to improve educational outcomes so at-risk students do not fail in school or later in life. When you use a tutoring service like Educational Tutorial Services, your student will be required to complete a pre-assessment and post-assessment to accurately measure their improvement. Our tutors also provide students with additional resources they can continue to use for on-going academic growth after the tutoring ends.
These very real benefits of tutoring have been well documented in various research studies over the past two decades. Even if your child has severe learning disabilities, intensive private tutoring can provide the one-on-one attention she needs to succeed in the classroom and in the real world.
The academic success of at-risk students depends on the adults in her life. A good tutoring service can match your child to the tutor that will be most effective in helping her meet academic content standards and achieve academic goals. It makes sense to let the tutoring service perform this function since it requires expertise to recruit, hire, and monitor qualified tutors. You risk your child's academic future if you try to assume this responsibility yourself.

DXZ18 – US dollar index is holding at the 100 day moving average for now and posted a positive candle last night. I think it's probably more likely that it will hold here and build into another rally.
GCZ18 – Gold is still hanging around the lows near 1200 and the 40 day moving average is now starting to put pressure on the price. Friday's price action was not good.
KCZ18 – Coffee ran into resistance from the short-term moving average back below 100 again and it really looks like this could go quite a bit lower.
ZWZ18 – Perhaps wheat it is again building towards another move higher as it has broken through the 15 day moving average. It is not convincingly through the 200 day moving average yet though so I'd be slightly hesitant about going long just here.
CCZ18 – Although it was a decent rally from cocoa, rising 3% on Monday's session the sequence of previous rallies suggest that the price will probably sell off again from here. We are slowly headed down towards 2100 it would seem so perhaps a good location to sell from.
SBV18 – This looks to be moving towards 0.1000, I sold another unit at 0.1057 last night so it was a nice turnaround from a trade I thought was going to get stopped out.
HGZ18 – Copper looks like it's running out of steam but I'm not ready to go short just yet as too many times I thought the rally was over only for the price to make one more high, take out my stop and then drop off.
ZSX18 – Soybeans looks like it's fading again and I wouldn't be surprised if it tried to make a new low this time but it's not really a good risk/reward given it will probably find support at 826 and the market is currently at 841 with a previous high at 852.
ZMZ18 – similar to Soybeans I think Meal is headed lower and also would not take a trade on it at the moment because it's not really a good risk/reward.
ZOZ18 – stopped out of this last night at 254. Glad I got out of the way, it looks like it is heading quite a bit higher.
RSX18 – the price is stilling at 490 and perhaps another test of 485 is due shortly. It's probably not a bad risk reward just here, stop above 490 after having made the high and now targeting the downside at 485 minimum.


Focus on the metrics that matter to drive ROI on your digital marketing strategy.
Digital marketing isn't worth much if it's not producing results. But are the outcomes you're measuring the ones that matter?
It's all too easy to confuse KPIs with ROI. While metrics like organic traffic and keyword DO ranking reveal important information, they DO NOT translate to sales. Get to know the difference between vanity metrics and KPIs that correlate to return on investment, so you can be sure you're spending your time, money and energy on digital marketing strategies that work.
Properly track ROI using analytics.
All metrics can offer you insight, but not all KPIs are created equal. Make sure you're paying attention to the right ones.

Increasing efficiency of data-intensive processes creates deeper need for data scientists by insurers. SANTA BARBARA, Calif., July 16, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The explosion of Big Data in the last five to ten years has hit the insurance industry hard due to the inability of legacy technology systems to effectively capture, store, integrate, and utilize unstructured data, in particular, and created an urgent need for data scientists.

PNP Chief Gamboa says it will not follow Pres. Duterte's order to shoot leftists
9 months ago read comments by Kurt Yap
- Earlier, President Rodrigo Duterte ordered the police and military to shoot the leftists who criticize the distribution of goods
- However, PNP Chief Archie Gamboa said that they will not follow the order of President Duterte
- He explained that the President was just "overemphasizing" the implementation of the law
- The PNP chief also insisted that the policemen are mandated to enforce the law even in the time of crisis
Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Director General Archie Gamboa said that the policemen will not follow the order of President Rodrigo Duterte regarding the leftist groups.
KAMI learned that the PNP would still implement the law during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
In an interview with ANC, Gamboa explained that the President was just "overemphasizing" the implementation of the law.
"Of course not, probably the President just overemphasized on implementing the law in this time of crisis. Of course not," Gamboa said.
"We see the strong message and I think all the PNP personnel understood it," he added.
According to Gamboa, he ordered the filing of charges against those who were arrested after they protested for relief amid the COVID-19 crisis.
"Sana naman they should not resort to these things. We're mandated to enforce the law. People should understand that patience should be there," the PNP chief said.
"Patience should be a virtue. He (Duterte) even assured that nobody is going to get hungry," he added.
In a previous report by KAMI, the Quezon City Police Department arrested at least 20 residents of Sitio San Roque who protested for lack of relief operations in their area.
Earlier, President Duterte ordered the police and military to shoot the leftists who criticize the distribution of goods during the enhanced community quarantine.

Australia's largest independent theatre company the Australian Shakespeare Company (ASC) is delighted to announce a colourful new production of the bard's satirical musical comedy As You Like It.
From New Years Eve until 14 March 2015, the Royal Botanic Gardens will be transformed into a Shakespearian festival of fantastical fun.
Before the show, garden revellers can explore the Love Letter Labyrinth - a meandering maze into the depths of the gardens, and the Shakespeare Hub, a pop up bar of naughty and nice delights.
Tickets are on sale now via Ticketmaster or www.shakespeareaustralia.com.au.
On 15 November, ASC Artistic Director Glenn Elston won the 2014 Melbourne Award for his individual contribution to Melbourne's profile. The City of Melbourne recognised his "enormous contribution to Melbourne and Australia's artistic and community life, pioneering open-air theatre in Australia." For Glenn's winning statement and the list of 2014 Melbourne Awards winners click here.
"We are thrilled to be presenting our 26th Shakespeare Under the Stars in Melbourne's Royal Botanic Gardens with the fabulously playful musical comedy As You Like It. It's a wonderful celebration of renouncing hatred for love and a story that rejoices in feminine strength, wit and comedy," says Glenn, who will direct the production.
As You Like It sees Shakespeare's strongest female character Rosalind lead a bewildered journey of tangled hearts through the Forest of Arden. Four couples intertwine themselves in love disguised, unrequited, lustful and impulsive. After much confusion they finally arrive to find a love that celebrates the human spirit and joy in their newfound world.
"As You Like It has more songs than any other Shakespeare play, and is one of his most playful and deceptively clever satires. We're going to have way too much fun developing and performing it!" says Elston.
Avid musical comedy improviser and WAAPA and Ballarat Arts Academy graduate Louisa Fitzhardinge will make her main stage debut as Rosalind. Playing opposite in the romantic role of Orlando is ASC company member Charlie Sturgeon, a leading force in Melbourne's improvised comedy world as both performer and instructor. Accomplished British and Australian musical theatre performer Mark Dickinson (A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum; Cats) will play the enigmatic role of melancholy Jaques.
A talented troupe of versatile performers will complete the cast, with accomplished actress and ASC company member Claire Nicholls in the role of Celia. Lucy Gransbury, who plays Sally the pirate in Caribbean Pirates at Polly Woodside by day, will transform into Phoebe the shepherdess in As You Like It at night. Veteran stage actor and ASC company member Kevin Hopkins will play Duke Frederick, Duke Senior and Audrey. After starring in ASC's Hamlet earlier this year, Hugh Sexton will play Oliver. Tony Rive returns from Northern Territory season with Brown's Mart to take on the role of Touchstone. Scott Jackson rounds out the cast in the role of Silvius.
Every summer Melbourne's iconic Royal Botanic Gardens are a hive of activity with thousands Melburnians, Victorians, national and international visitors enjoying Glenn Elston's Shakespeare Under the Stars and family favourite The Wind in the Willows.
The City of Melbourne and Arts Victoria have applauded Glenn Elston and the Australian Shakespeare Company for achievements in their mission to make theatre accessible to the wider community. Since it's inception, the company has played to over a million people nationally with critically acclaimed annual summer seasons, indoor shows and indigenous festivals, concerts and plays.

Many high school and college students are able to gain experience and lucrative connections through temporary employment positions while they are in school. While these positions are often administrative, they provide young people with a gateway into the federal workforce while they continue their educational endevours.
What is the Student Educational Employment Program?
The Student Educational Employment Program has two components; student temporary employment and student career experience. It is available to all levels of students: high school, vocational and technical, associate degree, baccalaureate degree, graduate degree, and professional degree students.
Looking for a government job? Find one here.
Trying to go back to school? Find a scholarship here.
Job opportunities under this component offer you temporary employment. Employment can range from summer jobs to positions that can last for as long as you are a student. These employment opportunities need not necessarily be related to your academic field of study.
This component offers you valuable work experience directly related to your academic field of study. It provides formal periods of work and study while you are attending school. It requires a commitment by you, your school, and the employing Federal agency. You may be eligible for permanent employment under this component after successfully completing your education and meeting work requirements.
Students may be employed year round.
Flexible schedule of work assignments.
Taking at least half-time academic or vocational and technical course load in an accredited high school, technical or vocational school, 2-year or 4-year college or university, graduate or professional school, and a U.S. citizen or a national (resident of American Samoa or Swains Island).
eligible to work under U.S. immigration laws. U.S. citizenship is required for conversion to permanent employment under the Student Career Experience Component.
"Highly competitive" and "talented" both describe the current and future employment needs of the Federal public service. Like the private sector, organizations throughout Government are undergoing streamlining and restructuring to become more efficient and less costly to operate. This means that fewer jobs are available in most industries, including Government.
However, many Federal agencies are still recruiting for specific occupations where Government needs to provide critical services, maintain its technical expertise, and attract students who demonstrate the skills and abilities the Government needs.
Students may contact their school guidance office, career planning and placement office, teachers, or Federal agency employment office where they are interested in working. They may also visit the OPM website at this address.

Nurses offered signing bonus | The Daily Gazette
Nurses offered signing bonus
Fulton County officials on Friday sweetened compensation packages in an attempt to attract nurses to
By Joe Maher | January 26, 2008
Categories: Schenectady County
Fulton County officials on Friday sweetened compensation packages in an attempt to attract nurses to work at the county's Residential Health Care Facility.
A couple of weeks after the Board of Supervisors waived the residency rule for registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and certified nursing assistants, the supervisors' health services committee voted Friday to approve signing bonuses for RNs. The signing bonuses for new RNs would be $2,500 each, infirmary Administrator Vera Kilgallon said.
Earlier this month the full board agreed to a couple of other enhancements, one of which was waiving the start rate for full- and part-time LPNs.
Another measure also waived the starting rate for RNs, which boosts their pay from $20.61 an hour to $22.20, Kilgallon said.
But, she said Friday, that rate is still below the median rate, which is $23.69 per hour.
The nursing home also has trouble competing for nurses because of the salary discrepancies between the county and area hospitals, which pay well, she said.
The infirmary has 13 RN positions budgeted and seven are currently vacant, four because of 2007 retirements, she said.
Recruitment efforts have been unsuccessful. There were no new hires as a result of help-wanted newspaper advertisements this month, Kilgallon said.
"We always have a problem," said Bleecker Supervisor David Howard, the chairman of the health services committee.
By waiving the residency rule, he said, "we're trying to broaden the base a little bit. We're looking for quality people and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be enough in Fulton County."
Howard said the county is taking whatever steps it can to make the jobs more attractive to medical professionals.
"It's been an ongoing process. The turnover isn't as bad as it once was but there's still some," he said.
The signing bonus money would come from additional grant funds due to the infirmary under the Health Care Reform Action program. The infirmary was scheduled to receive about $66,000 in HCRA grant funds this year but has been notified of an increase to nearly $82,000, she said.
The proposal still has to be reviewed by supervisors' personnel and finance committees before going to the full Board of Supervisors in February.

Q: LAST_INSERT_ID() in the same request Is that possible to add a new entry, copy its ID (auto incremented) and add it in the entry's column. Example of what I am looking for:
INSERT INTO `my_stuff` (title`, `description`, `this_entry_ID`) VALUES ('$my_stuff', '$description', LAST_INSERT_ID())");

Right now, I do it using two requests:

*

*add a new entry and copy the new entry's ID (using LAST_INSERT_ID())

*Update the entry with the LAST_INSERT_ID() data.

Is this possible to do it all in one go?
Note: LAST_INSERT_ID() is used for reference only to describe what I need.

A: You cannot do a sub-query that uses the target table in the insert.
insert into TheTable (Name, LastID) values ("New 1", (select Id from TheTable order by Id DESC limit 1) );

But you should not get an error doing what you suggested.
insert into TheTable (Name, LastID) values ("New 1", LAST_INSERT_ID() );

A: you can write a TRIGGER which acts immediately AFTER INSERT to update its this_entry_ID column.

A: LAST_INSERT_ID() works for the duration of the connect, so if you use the same connection for both queries, it will work.
If your connection library supports multiple commands per request, you can simply separate the two queries with a semicolon and make one database call.

A: Okay... thanks all, it appears that I've managed to solve this. Once again - the task was weird so the solution is quite weird too. Maybe you could offer anything better Here it is:
SELECT AUTO_INCREMENT  INTO @stuff FROM information_schema.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'gallery_albums';

INSERT INTO `gallery_albums` (`album_title`, `album_description`, `parent_id`,  `created_at`, `views`, `added_by`, `chain`) VALUES ('xxx', 'cccc', '0', 'vvvv', '0', 'bbb', @stuff)

The Brethren in Christ's greatest strength is also their greatest shortcoming
Posted on August 6, 2014 June 9, 2021 AuthorJonny Rashid
An excerpt of a paper I wrote about BIC history, based on The Quest for Piety and Obedience by Carlton Wittlinger.
The Brethren in Christ, in their ability to adapt to new discovered perspectives without diluting who their distinction, is their greatest strength. They hold a dialogical, humble posture, while also exhibiting an eagerness to follow Jesus in an earnest way.
But their willingness to adapt is also a shortcoming. The most significant influence on the BIC in the 19th and early-20th centuries is that of Holiness. The brotherhood, as listed above, debated the tenets of the movement arduously, primarily so that it could not lose itself among its positive influences. The same held true for how it treated, and ultimately rejected, the charismatic movement (although, one could argue that many of the Latino, Spanish-speaking churches in the Southeast Conference now embody that charismatic stream). In the first fifty years of the 20th century, however, the Brethren in Christ, simply did not adapt fast enough to the rapidly changing United States. In fact, its removal from society may have slowed its progress. The United States, during that time period, underwent massive changes, moving along through the Gilded Age, throughout the world in imperialism, World Wars I and II. The Brethren in Christ, resisted technological and cultural changes that would undermine the reliance on God that was practically exemplified in their day-to-day life. The culture changed quickly, however, and in the middle of the 20th century it would seem like the Brethren in Christ faced extinction. Their conservatism, for lack of a better term, toward plain dress, jewelry, how men might style their facial hair, life insurance, Social Security, the use of musical instruments, and other issues is admirable, but ultimately was damaging. The Brethren in Christ needed to be conscious that the culture was eventually going to demand alterations to these historic positions and they needed enough foresight to change with care.
The Brethren in Christ needed to adapt as the culture changed, and it seems that by the middle of the 20th Century, they needed to adapt too quickly. They could not conceivably adapt as slowly and as intentionally as they did, for example, with the doctrine of sanctification. Part of the reason is that the general public, and the people attending Brethren in Christ churches, were more likely significantly more ambivalent toward esoteric doctrine, then they were to an issue like how to dress, for example.
While the United States was undergoing major changes throughout the Cold War and the Civil Rights movement, the Brethren in Christ joined the National Association of Evangelicals. Some historians now consider this the "fourth" theological stream that influenced the denomination. But rather than adapt Evangelicalism to the brotherhood, the Brethren in Christ adapted themselves to Evangelicalism. By the 1950 NAE convention, the brotherhood was disillusioned. In an era of loud voices, the Brethren in Christ, was unfortunately quiet. This troubled the brotherhood and convicted them to change. By the 1953 General Conference convened, the church was already radically changing. Convicted by the Spirit to change, the Brethren in Christ, diluted themselves. The hard work of adapting to new perspectives, and experiences, was undone so quickly that unfortunately what the Brethren in Christ is left with today is a mere frontage of a great past.
In a panic, the Brethren in Christ exchanged their longstanding marriage of faith and obedience, to a mere "profession of faith." Though the Brethren in Christ would not disagree with the former, when the latter is removed, it eliminates the careful distinctiveness that the brotherhood built over centuries. The Brethren in Christ, who have meticulously married pietism and obedience, submitted almost entirely to the emotional, heartfelt experience in contrast to coupling it with disciplined obedience.
The Brethren in Christ's greatest importance is their emphasis on new birth. They have repeatedly applied new ideas to this concept as they adapted throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries. The turmoil and difficulty in the first half of the 19th century understandably caused anxiety in the Brethren in Christ. How they responded, though, with a complete undoing of their identity in a quest for a new one, is greatly costly. The Brethren in Christ tried to adapt to Evangelicalism to grow into something new. In fact, they succeeded. Unfortunately, with their adaptation, because it was so thoroughly untested, they lost much of what they had built previously. Rather than being a distinct denomination with a communal hermeneutic, the Brethren in Christ just became another generic Evangelical one.
Wittlinger's book does not tell the story of the Brethren in Christ to the present because it ends in the mid-1970s. If one were to write the story of the last forty years, it startling how much further the Brethren in Christ have gone down this path. At this point, the denomination is made up of a "mosaic," as the General Church Leader calls it in the latest issue of In Part, and as we affirmed together as General Conference. With the removal of the General Secretary, Moderator, numerous boards, possibly a restructuring of World Missions, the entire Canadian Conference (General Conference decision in 2010), with more and more roads leading to the Leadership Council, less and less theological accountability among pastors in a sprawling church that spans from sea to shining sea, the future of the brotherhood is seriously threatened. What do all of the changes in the last seventy-five years portend for a movement that has, up until this point, delicately changed? Every movement and denomination has its strengths and shortcomings, but for the Brethren in Christ, their shortcomings are so significant they may in fact threaten their entire identity.

The relationship advice on this web site is a resource for men who are confused about how to make and keep a long term intimate connection with a woman.
This is not a dating web site.
It is not a place for men to come to learn techniques about how to seduce women or how to find the woman of your dreams.
...even if you've been with her for any number of years and think there is no possible way to relate to her differently given the relationship tools you already possess.
This is a place to learn the skill-set necessary for making a relationship thrive even if you are currently "in between" relationships.
It is a place to come for relationship advice that you probably never learned when it came to creating emotional intimacy that leads to better sexual intimacy with a woman in a way that lasts long after the initial fireworks in a relationship have died down.
It is a place to come to learn how to deepen the quality of your intimate relationship so that you both can get what you want out of a relationship.
and without feeling like you have to give up your own needs--which is how we compromise our mental health--in order to make sure that her needs get met!
Your Wife or Girlfriend These Days?
Do you ever struggle with how to talk to the woman you love about the things that are important to her, like relationships and feelings? Have you achieved career success only to experience frustration or disappointment in your personal relationships? Are you confused by how hard you work to provide and protect your wife and family as a way to show your love, only to hear that love being questioned because you're not very good at being more "open with your emotions"? And after many times of trying with little success, are you so angry and frustrated that you've started to question whether or not this is the right relationship for you? The truth is, a relationship without a solid, ever-growing emotional connection is a relationship out of balance.
Being in a healthy relationship shouldn't be a struggle, but it does require work! A successful love relationship starts with an understanding of what emotional intimacy really is and how BOTH people need to generate it. To achieve that balance, the emotional connection of your relationship needs to become just as important for you to develop—and should feel just as enjoyable and rewarding—as the physical, intellectual, and spiritual connections you have with your wife or girlfriend. Of course, you'll find it a lot more enjoyable and rewarding if you feel your efforts being appreciated and acknowledged by the woman you love, with the added bonus of feeling closer to her.
The fact is, the cultural training men receive of what masculine identity should look and feel like is also one of the major obstacles that prevents men from learning about and valuing their emotional world. This in turn puts men at a disadvantage as to how to help create emotional intimacy in a relationship with a woman. Because of this, men have come to fear that knowing and revealing themselves emotionally might somehow bring their manliness into question. The dilemma for men, however, is that until they can educate themselves and practice some very basic but fundamental partnership skills that involve emotional participation, sustaining a healthy long term intimate relationship will remain a mystery.
A successful intimate relationship starts with comprehending that your wife or girlfriend will feel alone in the relationship unless she can get more than a brief glimpse of what your emotional world looks and feels like from you. This is actually the best way for you to "show up" in your relationship. A successful long term relationship requires a guy to develop an awareness of how to act and think more like a "we" instead of just going through life only acting and thinking like a "me". And all of this needs to happen in a way that you feel won't require you to sacrifice your masculinity!
Check out this web site and see if it can give you some new perspective on questions or problems you may be having with your relationship.
It is crucial for us as men to become more aware of who we are and why we react the way we do in our individual lives...so that we can make better and healthier choices in how we "partner" in our relationships with women.
It is equally as important for women to understand us better, so that they can have more realistic expectations from us...which in turn also makes the relationship healthier.
But women can only understand us better as we step up and more accurately communicate to them the Truth in our hearts and guts.
We cannot expect women to read our minds!
which describes how we as men can better identify and express ourselves to our partners in a way that doesn't require us to sacrifice our masculinity!
and it is because women find it to be very attractive!

Eagle Forum PAC Endorses Harris
The conservative Eagle Forum PAC has endorsed state senator Andy Harris in his bid to unseat nominal Republican Congressman Wayne Gilchrest.
A nationally recognized conservative organization, Eagle Forum PAC, has endorsed Andy Harris in his bid to unseat incumbent Wayne Gilchrest. Eagle Forum PAC supports candidates who are committed to a conservative philosophy of limited government, national sovereignty, and traditional values.
In the endorsement, Eagle Forum Founder and President, Phyllis Schlafly said, "Andy's articulate conservative voice in the Maryland General Assembly shows he's the right man to represent the first district. From his support for the unborn to limiting the size of government to ensuring that illegal aliens do not receive driver's licenses, Andy knows the issues facing America and is willing to address them head on,"
"I am proud to receive the endorsement of this respected conservative organization," said Andy Harris. "I share Eagle Forum's commitment to limited government, support for the unborn, and defense of our national sovereignty."
"This endorsement shows that on February 12, 2008 conservatives have one choice in the first district – Andy Harris," said Chris Meekins, Campaign Manager for Andy Harris for Congress.
This is the second endorsement of the Harris campaign by a major conservative organization. The degree to which this influences the course of the campaign is arguable, however, it does underscore the point that Senator Harris's campaign manager Chris Meekins has been making for weeks. Movement conservatives have exactly one choice in the primary: Andy Harris.

Q: How to show QR code using Google Charts in Crystal reports? Currently I managed to show inside Crystal report QR code using Google Charts and dynamically change path of picture but the generated QR code is wrong. I need to show URL with GET methode (3 params) and link is showing only 1st param.
test URL which needs to be opened via QR code (formula "link")
"http://test.com/getData?param1=aaa&param2=bbb"

formula for QR code and dynamically changing picture (it's http because Crystal Reports doesn't support https)
"http://chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=qr&chs=200x200&chl=" + {@link}

Those two combined form a string
http://chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=qr&chs=200x200&chl=http://test.com/getData?param1=aaa&param2=bbb

QR code - wrong one (missing param 2)

If I change my link to (url encoding & into %26)
http://chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=qr&chs=200x200&chl=http://test.com/getData?param1=aaa%26param2=bbb

then I get with browser good QR code but in Crystal reports still wrong one (missing param 2)
QR code - good in browser but not showing the same in Crystal

I suspect that something is wrong with URL encoding in Crystal or different than browser encoding. Any suggestions how to solve this?

A: If this is due to http limitation, you can generate the QR barcode image locally using a Crystal Reports UFL. You can create your own or at least one of the 3rd-party UFLs listed here provides such a function.

A: After lots of hours trying encoding/decoding data I accidently figure out that it wasn't problem in data or URL. Only thing I had to do is check "use original URL" in picture properties. After that generated QR code was good and problem solved. Hope it helps someone and saves lots of hours.


There are lots of ways to plan for retirement, but they all (hopefully) lead to the same place -- happy, financially secure golden years. Here's how to know if you'll be ready.
Are you ready to retire? Some people spend years preparing for their second act, while others roll into retirement and take it one day at a time. Often retirees have some idea of what to expect, but are also prepared to live at a more realistic and enjoyable pace than is typically possible in the working world.
Do you have enough saved even in the event of the unexpected? One of the big fears many retirees have is outliving their savings. Take all of the income that will be generated by your savings, investments and retirement plans and compare it to your fixed expenses, assuming you will live into your 90s. Also, remember to budget money for enjoying your retired life and a provision for the unexpected. If you don't have enough, take steps to correct your funding gap.
Deciding on the best age to begin collecting Social Security benefits is an important part of the retirement planning process. If you start collecting at the earliest possible age of 62, you will receive only 75% of what you would upon reaching full retirement age. But for each year between your full retirement age and age 70 that you delay receiving payments you can increase your benefit by 8%.
Is your relationship ready for retirement? While members of the working world, you and your partner have lived dual lives made up of work and life outside of work. Whatever the proportion of time you dedicated to each other, you have not yet experienced being together 24/7. Once you retire you will be together almost all the time. It can be helpful to communicate ahead of time about this significant change in your lifestyles. Having individual interests and supporting each other in these pursuits can allow for some "me time" to reflect and grow, which will only add to the quality of the relationship when you are together. Don't expect things to just automatically work out if you have not even considered the real changes retirement life will introduce into your relationship.
Do you have a clear picture of the retirement you want to live? Try to imagine your perfect retirement scenario. Do you prefer a relaxing pace to life, or do you plan to chase after all the experiences you can? Consider whether you are happy with where you are living or might like a new location. Decide if you want to experiment with adventurous trips around the world or are fine with less exotic travel that leans more toward comfort than challenge. And make sure to compare your retirement vision with that of your partner. If you want to be ready to retire, ask the important questions to help better illuminate your path.
Do you have enough to keep you busy? The typical retirement will be a combination of doing things that you enjoy, finding pursuits that are meaningful and doing a bit of nothing as you relax and enjoy the freedom to do as you please. Establishing a balance is important. Retirement does not mean always doing something productive. But it is helpful to think about what will hold your interest and keep you engaged as you live your second act. Do you have enough hobbies and interests to help you avoid boredom? Can you entertain yourself, or do you need company from others?
Do you have the right retirement attitude? Once you have successfully arrived at retirement, the fun begins. But you will also experience the difficulties and frustrations that come with growing older. It is not easy to prepare for something that you have never before experienced. Try to face the challenges of aging with a positive outlook, and find innovative ways to cope with some of the inconveniences of growing older.

Australia recognizes West Jerusalem as capital of Israel
By Bex Wright, Andrew Carey and Hamdi Alkhshali, CNN
Updated 5:13 AM EST, Sat December 15, 2018
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced Saturday that his government recognizes West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
"The government has resolved that Australia's position is now as follows: Australia now recognizes West Jerusalem as being the seat of the Knesset [Israeli parliament] … West Jerusalem is the capital of Israel," he said in a speech at the Sydney Institute.
Morrison noted that for now, the embassy won't move from Tel Aviv, but that may change later.
"We look forward to moving our embassy to West Jerusalem, when practical, in support of and after a final status determination," he said. "We've decided to start the work there now, to identify a suitable site for an Australian embassy in West Jerusalem."

Morrison emphasized that a two-state solution is the only way to resolve the dispute.
"A two-state solution remains the only viable way to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian dispute," he said. "The obstacles, we must admit, to achieving such a solution are becoming insurmountable."
Australia has resolved to acknowledge "the aspirations of Palestinians people for a future state with its capital in East Jerusalem," he added.
Australia's announcement regarding the capital of Israel differs from that of the United States a year ago because it refers specifically to West Jerusalem. When President Donald Trump made his announcement a year ago he made no such distinction between West and East, saying instead that the US recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
"Jerusalem is the seat of Israel's government," Trump said in a video message during the opening. "It is the home of the Israeli legislature and the Israeli supreme court and Israel's Prime Minister and President. Israel is a sovereign nation with the right to determine its own capital, yet for many years we failed to acknowledge the obvious, the plain reality that Israel's capital is Jerusalem."

US folds diplomatic representation to the Palestinians into its Jerusalem Embassy
The division of Jerusalem into East and West dates from the 1949 armistice agreement that brought fighting between Israel and Arab powers to an end, and left the city divided. West Jerusalem was in the hands of Israel. East Jerusalem was in the hands of Jordan. A 1947 United Nations plan to divide Palestine in two, creating a Jewish state and an Arab state, had envisaged Jerusalem as an internationally run "corpus separatum," apart from the two states.
In 1967 Israel captured East Jerusalem in the Six Day War. It expanded the municipal boundaries of the city and declared all of it to be the unified capital of Israel.
Until Trump's announcement, the international community was largely united in not formally recognizing Israel's position, stating instead that only a negotiated agreement between the two sides could determine the city's final status.
The city is home to deeply holy sites for Jews, Muslims and Christians. The issue has been so thorny that negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians had left the question of Jerusalem to the final stages of any peace deal.

Q: High Availability Options for MSMQ We plan to develop a highly available system based on Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ). Currently we are collecting high availability options for MSMQ. We plan to use Windows Server 2008R2 as the underlying operating system.
Which specific technologies are available to make the MSMQ service highly available?
We looked into Windows Failover Clustering and NLB but Clustering seems to have way too high failover times (more than 10 seconds) and NLB does not support transactional messaging.
Does anyone have experience with solutions like VM Ware Fault Tolerance or something similiar?
Are you aware of any other solutions providing high availability for MSMQ while supporting low failover times (< 5 seconds) and transactional messaging?

A: You're definitely going to want to look into the Server 2008 Clustering feature. You can configure the message queuing service application to provide high availability and fault tolerance. The main prerequisite to setting this up is having a SAN in place.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd897482(v=bts.10).aspx
Also if for a great overview on how to set this up visit the Microsoft Virtual Lab:
http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=7091154

A: If you need failover times below the typical MSCS ones (they tend to be quite slow), consider setting up NLB with MSMQ over HTTP.
This will take care of the availability and can scale to dozens of nodes.

A: MSMQ is not really a good solution if you need HA I'm afraid. What about other products? I would suggest checking RabbitMQ, it is supported quite well and migration is not very painful.

Notomys alexisspinifex hopping mouse
By Barbara Lundrigan and Kim Pfotenhauer
Geographic Range
Lifespan/Longevity
Ecosystem Roles
Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
Notomys alexis is found in the sandy soils of Central Australia to Western Australia. Found abundantly in the Great Victoria Desert of Western Australia, N. alexis is the most abundant of all hopping mice in Australia (Watts and Aslin, 1981).
Notomys alexis lives in sandy soils in areas of plains and dunes. They have been found in eucalypt woods, acacia shrubland, and tussock grassland. Notomys alexis characteristically live in areas with hummocks of spiky spinifex. This vegetation gives N. alexis the common name of Spinifex Hopping Mouse. These hopping mice live in deep, simple burrows in the sand (Watts and Aslin, 1981).
Habitat Regions
Notomys alexis are light brown to chestnut dorsally and gray to white ventrally. They are relatively large for a mouse species. The tail is relatively long and colored brown on the top and lighter on the bottom. The tip of the tail has a brush on it but the brush is smaller than in related species. A throat pouch is present in both sexes and may vary in appearance as the sexual state of the animal changes (Watts and Aslin, 1981). Adults weigh 20 to 50 grams. Body and head length ranges from 91 to 177 mm, average tail length is from 125 to 225 mm (Verberne, 2002).
91 to 177 mm
Although females can mate with multiple partners, no obvious intermale competition occurs. In captivity, females have been observed mating with more than one male during a single estrous cycle. When the paternity of the litter was tested, all the young were found to be from the same male (Hyde and Elgar, 1992).
Notomys alexis are opportunistic breeders. Although they can breed when conditions are not perfect, reproduction increases after periods of rain. Females can start breeding at 85 days old and have an estrous cycle of seven to eight days. Gestation ranges from 32 to 34 days if the female is not lactating. If a female is lactating, the gestation period can increase to about 40 days. Estrus continues during lactation and finding a female that is pregnant and lactating is not uncommon. Breeding can be inhibited by a high population density of N. alexis (Watts and Aslin, 1981).
year-round breeding
Breeding occurs throughout the year but particularly after rains.
Average weaning age
85 (low) days
Pink and sparsely furred, the young weigh about 3 grams when they are born. It takes about 15 days for the ears to open and 20 days for the eyes to open. They are cared for and nursed in the nest by their mother until they are weaned, at about 28 days (Watts and Aslin, 1981).
Spinifex hopping mice live as long as 3 years in captivity but probably much less in the wild. Most may live less than a year.
Status: captivity
Notomys alexis are social animals and live in groups of up to 10 individuals. These groups live in single deep burrows but often these burrows are clustered into a system connecting many groups. Although these groups may communicate, the immediate family grouping is the strongest. When groups exceed the normal number, cooperative behavior ceases. In captivity, large group size may result in the killing of young. Notomys alexis are very abundant and very active creatures. Quadrupedal and bipedal hopping are only two of the seven modes of locomotion recorded (Watts and Aslin, 1981). Water loss is limited in many ways. Urination and defecation is minimized and the urine is the most concentrated of any mammal. Living in burrows also reduces water lost to heat because the environment stays close to one temperature. Notomys alexis sleep in one nest chamber huddled close together to reduce water loss due to evaporation. They are active after dark to decrease water loss also (Watts and Aslin, 1981).
Notomys alexis individuals eat mainly seeds, but also consume green plants and insects when available. They are not completely granivorous. A study has shown that they eat about 50% seeds and 50% invertebrates and supplement their diet with green plants (Murray and Dickman, 1994). These hopping mice can survive without free water by utilizing water in their food and efficiently using metabolic water.
Being active after dark and hopping quickly, in varying directions, helps N. alexis to avoid predators (Watts and Aslin, 1981). Most small to medium-sized predators in the regions where they live probably prey on spinifex hopping mice.
dingos (Canis lupus dingo)
owls (Strigiformes)
snakes (Serpentes)
Notomys alexis serve as seed dispersers for many different plants. They occupy a unique niche and coexist with 10 to 12 other small mammal species. Most of these species are other rodents, but some are dasyurid marsupials (Murray and Dickman, 1994).
These small mice are sometimes kept as pets (Verberne, 2002). They are also used extensively in laboratories in Australia (Murray and Dickman, 1994).
Positive Impacts
pet trade
Population explosions have been recorded for N. alexis. In 1975, a plague of N. alexis occurred. At this time, several hundred were reported being seen by spotlight by observers. It was also reported that they would enter campsites and steal scraps of food (Watts and Aslin, 1981).
Spinifex hopping mice are abundant and widespread, they are not threatened.

Living in Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, New Guinea and associated islands.
young are born in a relatively underdeveloped state; they are unable to feed or care for themselves or locomote independently for a period of time after birth/hatching. In birds, naked and helpless after hatching.
having body symmetry such that the animal can be divided in one plane into two mirror-image halves. Animals with bilateral symmetry have dorsal and ventral sides, as well as anterior and posterior ends. Synapomorphy of the Bilateria.
uses smells or other chemicals to communicate
desert or dunes
in deserts low (less than 30 cm per year) and unpredictable rainfall results in landscapes dominated by plants and animals adapted to aridity. Vegetation is typically sparse, though spectacular blooms may occur following rain. Deserts can be cold or warm and daily temperates typically fluctuate. In dune areas vegetation is also sparse and conditions are dry. This is because sand does not hold water well so little is available to plants. In dunes near seas and oceans this is compounded by the influence of salt in the air and soil. Salt limits the ability of plants to take up water through their roots.
animals that use metabolically generated heat to regulate body temperature independently of ambient temperature. Endothermy is a synapomorphy of the Mammalia, although it may have arisen in a (now extinct) synapsid ancestor; the fossil record does not distinguish these possibilities. Convergent in birds.
parental care is carried out by females
offspring are produced in more than one group (litters, clutches, etc.) and across multiple seasons (or other periods hospitable to reproduction). Iteroparous animals must, by definition, survive over multiple seasons (or periodic condition changes).
having the capacity to move from one place to another.

polygynandrous
the kind of polygamy in which a female pairs with several males, each of which also pairs with several different females.
scrub forests develop in areas that experience dry seasons.
remains in the same area
reproduction that includes combining the genetic contribution of two individuals, a male and a female
associates with others of its species; forms social groups.
uses touch to communicate

I love dressing up in mix and match kurta's and churidaars especially because of the color choices I get. Since a long time I wanted to buy some comfortable kurti's so decided to visit Mother Earth store at Domlur Bangalore. This was my first visit but really loved there wide collection of kurti's and skirts. The fitting of the clothes was also quiet nice. So here I am sharing one of the looks I tried there, more will be following soon :).
This one is a knee length kurti with brocade neck work and some print at the bottom of the kurti (something similar to rubber print). I matched it with green cotton churidar and dupatta, with green earrings and a green clutch, yeah I know you would think I am on a 'Go Green' mission these days :).
Hope you like it and would love to get your comments and feedback.
the attire looks stunningly fashionable and adds on to your beauty !!
You look good in these.
wow ..you look adorable …gone green isnt ?
