Nurture your inner writer. Creative writing pursuits can be lonely.
I have been spending time talking about the technical aspects of writing and speaking. But I have not forgotten the creative side of writing as well. It can be a lonely place when you sit in front of your computer, tablet or quill and ink and say I am a writer.
I encourage you all to explore that wonderful inner place of creativity as well. Look for groups, clubs, courses or programs that will connect you with like-minded creative people.
I am very lucky that where I live (Sunshine Coast, Qld, Aust) there is an acknowledgement and acceptance of the creative industries. More work needs to be done, of course, for mainstream society to see the economic and cultural value of creative activity but there are definite places where a budding writer can splash around in the creativity pool.
Do you feel the need to justify being a writer.
Are you asked when you are going to get a real job?
How do you set up your schedule to write?
Do you grab topics as they find you or are you are planner and do a month of topics and issues in advance?
I would be interested in hearing how you all have approached this task.
This 31 blogs in 31 days has been a major challenge for me.
This is my catch up blog!
Hi Aunt Em, Just came upon your blog and love what I"ve read..
Appreciate your encouragement to splash around in the creativity pool.
Sharon – I am so pleased to hear from you. The world NEEDS creatives along with all the other talents. So go forth and splash!

Strengthen P.E.I.'s Lands Protection Act, urges former justice minister
As a Conservative MLA in the early 1980s, Horace Carver helped draft P.E.I.'s Lands Protection Act, which set out strict restrictions for land ownership. He reviewed the legislation again for government in 2013. For the first time since then, Carver spoke publicly Thursday to a government committee once again considering changes.
Horace Carver says he's 'gravely concerned' about corporate land ownership, land consolidation
Kerry Campbell · CBC News · Posted: Jan 16, 2020 6:00 PM AT | Last Updated: January 16, 2020
'If we make the mistake the first time, do it the second time,' said Horace Carver, urging government to strengthen the Lands Protection Act. (Brian McInnis)
For all the times Horace Carver's 2013 review of P.E.I.'s Lands Protection Act has been invoked in debates around land ownership in the province, the author of that report had never spoken about it publicly since its release — until Thursday.
"I am disappointed certain aspects of the report have not been implemented. Particularly those that cost money," the former PC cabinet minister told the province's standing committee on natural resources and environmental sustainability, which had called on him to appear.
Carver was part of the government that first enacted the Lands Protection Act in 1982, which set limits on individual and corporate land ownership in the province.
The act and the issues around land ownership it addresses flared up as a topic of debate during the 2019 provincial election campaign.

Promise to close 'loopholes'
Last fall P.E.I.'s Attorney General Bloyce Thompson promised to close any "loopholes" in the act after a controversial deal that saw farmland transferred to a corporation related to the Irving family, without coming before cabinet for approval.

A key issue is how government interprets and enforces a measure in the act to prevent corporations "directly or indirectly controlled by the same person, group or organization" from stacking up land limits in order to control more land.
Carver, a lawyer, said he's always understood the minister has the authority to deem corporations as related under the act, but other legal minds differ.
"If something isn't as firm as it needs to be, guess what? Put the firmness in there," he told MLAs, advising them they have the power to make whatever changes are necessary in the legislation.
"If we make the mistake the first time, do it the second time."
In November, the Dennis King government announced public consultations to be held in early 2020 as part of a "fulsome review of land-related legislation" working toward "a renewed Lands Protection Act 2.0 and other related legislation."

Minister should know 'who owns the land'
Carver said he didn't understand changes made under the MacLauchlan government that meant the province was no longer collecting information on the identities of shareholders of provincially-registered corporations.
In his 2013 report, Carver urged changes to P.E.I.'s land use laws. (Kevin Yarr/CBC)
The King government has already begun reversing those changes. Carver said it's "essential" that the minister of agriculture and land has "the power to compel answers to questions such as 'who owns the land?'"
"And if the minister feels that he doesn't have the legal authority to ask who owns the land, then give him the authority to get the answers that he needs."
Asked whether increasing land ownership limits would make it possible for Island farmers to become more profitable — a case made by Cavendish Farms president Robert Irving when he appeared before a P.E.I. standing committee in 2018 — Carver voiced concerns about increasing corporate land ownership in the province.
He said he was concerned while conducting his review "and even more so now — gravely concerned about the impact on rural communities in regards [to] large corporations and lots of land consolidation."
Cavendish Farms asks for doubling of P.E.I. land ownership limits
Expand exemptions to land ownership limits: report
Recommendations not followed
Carver expressed disappointment talking about some recommendations from his report which have never been enacted by government including:
That the Island Regulatory and Appeals Commission submit an annual report to cabinet on non-resident land ownership, and that the report be made available to the public.
That the province establish a land bank to sell or lease land back to farmers (something government is now working toward).
That the province establish a land trust to "preserve unique and cherished Island viewscapes," funded with a portion of land transfer taxes and IRAC fees.
Instead of funding the purchase of more public land, Carver said the province is "reaping millions and millions of dollars in land transfer fees and a significant amount of dollars in IRAC fees," with the money going to general revenues.
After speaking for close to two-and-a-half hours, Carver said he would resume his self-imposed silence on the legislation and his review of it, leaving MLAs to decide what changes are needed.
Opposition Leader Peter Bevan-Baker said a key for him will be to make sure corporate and land ownership become more transparent to Islanders.
"A regular and transparent reporting requirement — and that was one of the recommendations of the Carver report. We have not seen a report on land holdings since 2004. That's just not acceptable," Bevan-Baker said.

Can Dogs Eat Tuna - Should We Worry About Mercury, And How Much Is Safe?
Home Food Can Dogs Eat Tuna?
Can Dogs Eat Tuna? Is Tuna Good For Dogs, Or Is It Bad For Them?
Is Mercury Poisoning Really A Risk, Or Just A Rumor To Be Ignored?
We Separate The Facts From The Fiction.
Answering That All Important Question – Can Dogs Eat Tuna?
Leave out an open can of tuna around your pup and watch what happens next.
You won't want to turn your back or that tuna will be missing in action!
But is tuna good for dogs – that is what you really need to know!
Tuna is becoming a controversial protein source for dogs and cats because of where this large fish sits in the ocean food chain.
Today, the sea is polluted with mercury, a heavy metal.
This pollution is caused by burning fossil fuels, as well as forest fires and volcanic eruptions.
Smaller fish take in mercury, and then big fish like tuna eat those smaller fish.
Today, tuna is both a staple of human and canine diets and one of the most potent food sources of toxic mercury levels.
For this reason, feeding dogs tuna should be done with care.
Is tuna ok for dogs?
There are more than 20 different species of tuna fish.
Only about five of those species appear regularly on people's plates.
These include skipjack, yellowfin, albacore, bigeye and bluefin.
Determining is tuna bad for dogs depends in part on the size of the tuna fish being served.
For example, the relatively small skipjack tuna weighs around 42 pounds at maturity.
Contrast this with the Bluefin, which can weigh a robust 1,000 pounds or more!
This is relevant because, well, you don't even need to guess which tuna has more mercury.
The albacore tuna is the next smallest fish, weighing in at around 73 pounds at adulthood.
Mature yellowfin and bigeye tuna tend to weigh in around 400 pounds.
So when feeding tuna fish for dogs, you should always try to choose skipjack or albacore tuna for a lower mercury content per serving.
Skipjack ("chunk light" in canned form). 0.12 parts per million.
Albacore ("white albacore" in canned form). 0.32 parts per million.
Tuna is often an ingredient in commercial dog foods.
Especially in foods for dogs with sensitive stomachs that don't tolerate poultry protein well.
However, researchers studying this issue have released the opinion that mercury levels in commercial dog food is not currently a concern.
For further reassurance, to date, no cases of mercury poisoning from tuna in dogs have been reported.
So does this mean the answer to can dogs eat tuna is a hearty "yes'?
Is tuna safe for dogs?
There is a big difference between feeding your dog tuna occasionally as a treat and making it a staple of her diet.
In general, as you are wondering can I feed my dog tuna, it should be as safe for your dog as it is for you, provided you follow healthy portion guidelines.
Health guidelines typically suggest limiting your tuna portion based on how much you weigh.
This handy formula works just as well for dogs as it does for people!
For example, let's say your dog weighs 20 pounds.
In this case, she shouldn't consume more than one whole can of tuna more than every 3 weeks (chunk light) or every 10 weeks (white albacore).
If your dog weighs 40 pounds, he can have one can of chunk light tuna every 9 days, and one can of white albacore tuna every 4 weeks.
For pups that weigh 90 pounds, it is okay to consume one can of chunk light tuna every 5 days and one can of white albacore tuna every 2 weeks.
And if your pooch weighs 150 pounds, he can have a can of chunk light tuna every 3 days and a can of white albacore tuna every 9 days.
This gives you a good range of options for adding canned tuna into your dog's treat rotation.
Is tuna fish good for dogs?
So can dogs eat tuna and feel the benefits?
Actually, tuna does have some potent nutritional benefits.
Tuna has a high protein content and contains plenty of omega-3 fatty acids.
These are vital to healthy blood pressure, heart function and overall cardiovascular health.
Tuna also contains plenty of beneficial B vitamins, plus Vitamin D, potassium, magnesium, iodine, choline, phosphorus and selenium.
About this last mineral – tuna has also been found to contain a unique type of selenium called selenoneine.
Selenoneine has a special super power – it can bind to mercury and protect cells from mercury damage!
Of course, more research is needed to learn exactly how selenoneine works once tuna is consumed, but this is something interesting to keep an eye on!
In theory, tuna is good for dogs because of its high vitamin and mineral content and the presence of omega-3 fatty acids.
However, it is also true that other fish such as salmon, flounder and herring can provide similar nutritional benefits without the mercury risk.
Remember, though that dogs already get everything that they need from their kibble or canned food.
This is especially true for puppies.
The general jury is divided about whether it is okay to feed tuna to puppies. But personally, we think it's worth giving it a miss.
Whileuna does have some beneficial nutrients as well as the always helpful omega-3 fatty acids, there is also the mercury content to consider.
Plus your pup's complete food will be giving him all the nutrients that he needs already.
Your puppy's entire digestive and gastrointestinal system is still developing through the first year of life.
It's best to avoid potential upsets, and stick to their complete formula during these important early months.
Can dogs eat raw tuna?
Sushi is very popular today, and it is also delicious.
And you can be sure that if you left a tasty raw tuna filet on your counter and your pup spied it, it would likely go "down the hatch" before you could blink twice!
But feeding your dog raw tuna – or raw fish of any kind, for that matter – is not the safest choice.
This is because raw fish can carry bacteria and parasites that may be damaging once consumed.
Freshwater salmon is a perfect example.
Some freshwater salmon carry bacteria that can infect your dog with salmon poisoning, a canine condition that is typically fatal within two weeks unless treated.
While there is no direct parallel with tuna, this simply illustrates one of the known dangers of eating raw fish.
Another reason not to feed raw fish to your dog is because raw fish contains the enzyme thiaminase.
Thiaminase will go to work to make any thiamin (Vitamin B1) your dog takes in inactive.
But when you cook the tuna, the thiaminase is destroyed.
Since your dog will probably like his tuna treat just as much if you cook it first, overall it is much safer if you feed your dog cooked tuna rather than raw tuna.
Is canned tuna good for dogs?
Tuna fish can be served raw or cooked (fresh or canned).
Canned tuna can be packed in water or in oil. But can dogs eat tuna in oil?
For that matter, can dogs eat tuna in water?
As we explore the question of is canned tuna ok for dogs, the simple answer is yes.
Canned tuna in appropriate portions, and preferably skipjack or albacore rather than the larger tuna fish, can be a healthy protein-rich snack for your dog.
Some owners like to offer their dogs the water that the canned tuna is packed in.
If you decide to do this, first be sure the tuna does not have any added salt.
Tuna lives in salt water, so it is only natural it may have higher sodium levels than freshwater fish.
As long as you are careful, offering your dog the occasional tuna treat should be okay.
If you decide to feed your dog tuna, make sure it is cooked tuna, made from skipjack or albacore.
Also ensure there is no salt added and in an appropriate portion relative to your dog's weight.
This will keep the risk of mercury poisoning low while providing your dog with the benefits of tuna's vitamin and mineral content plus the omega-3 fatty acids.

I've always gone by the rule if it's good for humans it's good for my dog. Many people say we'll humans eat chocolate but that isn't good for my dog. Well there is always a exception to every rule. But is it an exception? Is chocolategood for humans? I'd even to say it's not the best food humans can eat.
After reading this I dont think I'll ever eat tuna again. If its not recommended for dogs, then its not good for us.
I've been feeding my dogs tuna for years . It's got to be better than the canned dog foods out there . It's human food . I used to feed the dogs canned horse meat but I can't find any anymore.

Football, NBC Dominate Sunday Night Ratings
The matchup of Peyton Manning vs. little brother Eli Manning in NBC's "Football Night In America" game, with Peyton's Indianapolis Colts dominating Eli's New York Giants 38-14, was the top ratings draw Sunday night, according to TVbytheNumbers.com.
At 7 p.m. the NBC pregame scored a 3.0 in the 18-49 demographic, well below the CBS overrun of its NFL game–the New York Jets against the New England Patriots–paired with the start of "60 Minutes," a combination that drew a 7.1 rating in the demo.
At 8 p.m. NBC's broadcast took over with a 7.5 rating in the 18-49 demo, ahead of the remainder of "60 Minutes," which had a 2.5 in the demo.
At 9 p.m. the NBC broadcast of the game grew to 9.0 rating in the 18-49 demo, competing with only one new show, ABC's "The Gates," which had a 0.9 in the demo.
In the 10 p.m. hour NBC's game coverage wrapped up with a 7.4 in the 18-49 demo, crushing the season finale of "The Gates," which again netted just a 0.9 rating.

The first public screening of the original version of Richard Williams' The Thief and the Cobbler will be held at the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences' Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 10. Williams will be in attendance to introduce the recently reconstructed original workprint from 1992.
The Thief and the Cobbler will be accompanied by Richard Williams' 1972 Oscar-winning animated short A Christmas Carol, adapted from Charles Dicken's 1843 novella. Featuring animation by Ken Harris and Abe Levitow, among others, A Christmas Carol has, according to the Academy's website, "a distinctive and dark tone" inspired by John Leech's engraved illustrations of the Dicken's tale.
In conjunction with the screenings, the Academy's public exhibition "Richard Williams: Master of Animation," featuring film clips, iPad presentations, original artwork, and photos will remain open "for extended viewing hours" in the Grand Lobby Gallery.
Sharing elements in common with Disney's 1991 blockbuster Aladdin, The Thief and the Cobbler – previously released in truncated versions as The Princess and the Cobbler and Arabian Knight – chronicles the adventures of a young cobbler in ancient Persia. Influenced by Persian miniatures, Richard Williams began working on his animated feature in 1964; the self-financed project was to continue for another 28 years, during which time Williams collaborated with Ken Harris and Emery Hawkins from Warner Bros., Art Babbitt from Disney, and Betty Boop creator Grim Natwick.
Following his two Academy Awards for Robert Zemeckis' blockbuster Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988), Williams secured additional financing from Warner Bros. so The Thief and the Cobbler could be completed. Warners, however, ultimately pulled out the project; a completion bond company then took control of the film, removing Williams from the project.
Coincidentally, Kevin Schreck's 2012 documentary about the making of The Thief and the Cobbler, Persistence of Vision, opens in Belgium at 7 p.m. today at Brussel's Rits Café. The Thief and the Cobbler background artist Inge Daveloose will introduce the screening. Persistence of Vision is described as "the untold story of the greatest animated film never made." Check out the film's Facebook page.
Released in a handful of countries, The Princess and the Cobbler (1993) featured the voices of Sean Connery, Vincent Prince (recorded two decades earlier), Kenneth Williams, Miriam Margolyes, Joss Ackland, Donald Pleasance, Joan Sims, Anthony Quayle (who died in 1989), and Hilary Pritchard.
The re-edited Miramax-distributed U.S. version, renamed Arabian Knight (1995), featured the voices of Matthew Broderick, Jennifer Beals, Eric Bogosian, Toni Collette, Clive Revill, and Jonathan Winters. The DVD named The Thief and the Cobbler is actually the Miramax version.
The title sequence in Tony Richardson's The Charge of the Light Brigade (1968), starring David Hemmings and Vanessa Redgrave in (more or less) the old Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland roles.
The title sequence in Anthony Newley's Can Heironymus Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness? (1969), starring Newley and Joan Collins.
The animation found in Blake Edward's The Pink Panther Strikes Again (1976), starring Peter Sellers, Lesley-Anne Down, and Herbert Lom.

I saw three Queens come sailing in…
Posted on May 26, 2015 by briansimpsons
For the first time ever the Cunard passenger cruise company's three cruise liners named after British queens: Queen Mary 2, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria set sail up the River Mersey. They were here to celebrate the company's 175th anniversary. On Bank Holiday Monday I wandered down to Woodside Ferry in Birkenhead where the Queen Mary 2 was berthed following a contingent of uniformed Police officers who were along the riverside ensuring crowd control.
The Cunard company was founded by Samual Cunard initially as the British and North American Steam Packet Company with its first ship the Britannia setting sail on 4 July 1840 from Liverpool to Halifax Nova Scotia and Boston. The company provided the first ever weekly timetabled steamship service across the Atlantic. For the next 30 years, Cunard held the Blue Riband for the fastest Atlantic voyage.
However, in the 1870s Cunard fell behind its rivals, the White Star Line and the Inman Line and the British Government provided Cunard with substantial loans and a subsidy to build two superliners needed to retain its leading position. In 1934 the British Government offered Cunard loans to finish Queen Mary and to build a second ship, Queen Elizabeth, on the condition that Cunard merged with the then ailing White Star line to form Cunard-White Star Ltd. Cunard owned two-thirds of the new company and purchased White Star's share in 1947.
The name reverted to the Cunard Line in 1950. However in 1998 Cunard was acquired by the Carnival Corporation who are based at Santa Clarita, Los Angeles, California and their British headquarters are found at Carnival House in Southampton. But it is celebrating 175 years of operation in its spiritual home of Liverpool in 2015.
More than one million people lined the banks of the Mersey to watch the Three Queens spectacular, according to some official estimates. Both sides of the River Mersey were lined all the way along, in some places around ten people deep. I walked along from the Woodside Ferry terminal in Birkenhead along to Seacombe to find a good spot but some people had been there sitting on camping chairs from very early in the day. I managed to get a spot in the crowd at Seacombe near to the Twelve Quays ferry terminal where the Belfast Ferry was in port awaiting the cruise liners manoeuvres.
The Queen Mary 2 berthed at the cruise liner terminal in Liverpool on Sunday 24th May. At 10.45am on Bank Holiday Monday 25th May she sailed out to sea to greet sister ships Queen Victoria travelling from Guernsey and Queen Elizabeth coming from Kirkwall in the Orkney Islands at the mouth of the River Mersey before all three travelled down the river into Liverpool accompanied by a small flotilla of smaller vessels.
The three cruise ships then made dramatic 180 degree turns in the river to face the Cunard Building, one of the 'three graces' on the Pierhead on the Liverpool side of the river, the spiritual home to the cruise line.
Some people were lucky enough to be aboard the Mersey Ferries to view the Three Queens from the river. One of the Mersey Ferries has been redecorated as a 'Dazzle ship' commemorating the practice which took place in World War 2.
The Queen Mary 2 then left heading for St Peter Port in the Channel Isles with the Queen Elizabeth tying up at the cruise liner terminal before she too left late in the evening heading to Southampton. The Queen Victoria moored in mid river and she will berth at the cruise terminal on Tuesday 26th May before she too departs at around 17.30 hours completing a three day celebration.
The crowds peaked in the afternoon when the three giant ocean liners turned in the river to perform a salute to their spiritual home of Liverpool as the RAF Red Arrows flew overhead at precisely 13.51 hours as scheduled. The RAF Red Arrows flew over the three Queens on the way to Blackpool Pleasure Beach further up the coast for a public display from 2pm. I managed to get a couple of shots of the planes as they flew overhead.
The ships were accompanied up the river by a flotilla of smaller vessels. The ships themselves have impressive features.
Queen Elizabeth was launched in 2010 built at the Fincantieri Monfalcone shipyard near Venice, Italy. She is the second largest Cunard liner ever built. She has a gross tonnage of 90,900 and is 964.5 feet long. Queen Elizabeth can carry a total of 2,092 passengers.
Queen Victoria was also built at the Fincantieri Monfalcone shipyard near Venice, Italy. She is the smallest in the fleet at just 90,000 tons and is 964.5 feet long with a passenger capacity of 2,014. She was launched in 2007 in Southampton. Her annual itinerary includes a world cruise. Queen Victoria has seven restaurants, thirteen bars, three swimming pools, a ballroom, a two storey library and Royal Court theatre.
Queen Mary 2 was launched in 2004 as the replacement for the Queen Elizabeth 2 which was retired as the transatlantic liner regularly sailing between Southampton and New York. QM2 is 151,400 tons and is 1,132 feet long which is equivalent to four football pitches or 41 buses. She was built in St Nazaire in France for £550m. She has a maximum capacity of 3,090 passengers and 1,238 crew. On board are 2,000 bathrooms, 5,500 stairs and 22 passenger lifts.
Plans for the 175th anniversary celebrations have been made over sometime and it has taken careful timetabling to allow all three ships to be in the Mersey on one day. Liverpool is only the fourth place where the three ships have met together. It certainly was an incredible event not likely to be repeated for some long while.

The highlight is usually a display by the world famous Red Arrows display team. They returned this year after having to pull out last year following a tragic accident where two pilots were killed in a display in Bournemouth just before being scheduled to appear at Hoylake.

Prior to the event, there were concerns that the dispaly team would be unable to put on their show due to low lying clouds and bad weather conditions.

However the event received the all clear and the organisers cleared the beach area and the crowd were entertained by a low level flying display in front of the promenade and across the Dee Estuary.

Given the poor light, a slow telephoto lens and jets flying at great speed I had to boost the film speed on my camera to the max to be able to get my shots of the aerobatic display. This has meant that they are a little grainy but it all adds to the atmosphere of the display.

As the light faded the Red Arrows completed their display and flew out to sea and back to their visiting base at Hawarden Airfield where they stay overnight before flying to Bournemouth on 29th August to take part in an air display at Torbay.

The FXB Group is pleased to have been involved in the manufacture and supply of furniture and furnishings for The Westin Dragonara Resort.
Fire Door Certification
Having been in the furniture manufacturing trade for more than a century, doors are a product we have been producing for a number of years.
We have undertaken innumerable hotel contracts where guest room and bathroom doors were an essential part of the architect's design. Public areas, utility rooms, corridors and halls have been furnished with our doors. Homes and apartment blocks have been embellished with doors we produce. We were the main manufacturer for doors at Mater Dei Hospital, with all the particular high standard safety requirements doors in the medical sector come with.
But times change and regulatory practices change with them. It is not the first time that our own doors were successfully tested at laboratories in the UK, but as we said, especially when it comes to fire safety, regulations are now rightly more stringent.
For this reason, earlier this year, our company tested its manufactured fire doors at the test laboratories of Istituto Giordano in Gatteo near Savignano sul Rubicone, Italy. The test was successful and the company now proudly holds the required EU certification for its own manufactured 30 minute rated fire-door. Obtaining a certificate requires the manufacturing of the doors followed by the installation of the same fire-doors at the test-laboratories. Both the product and the installation undergo rigorous repeated testing.
We are pleased to share with you some photos of this experience, together with the certificate we now hold.

Telegraph: FTSE100 is outdated, here is the Telegraph 20
FT publisher wants to buy schools in China
Tesco, tax and the Guardian: 'We made errors'
By paulmcnally Twitter
The Guardian has admitted it made errors in its story about Tesco's tax affairs – and has published a correction and a revised story in a bid to set the record straight.
The newspaper, which is being sued for libel and malicious falsehood by the supermarket giant, has also published a piece explaining its parent company's own tax arrangements, after it emerged that the Guardian Media Group had incorporated a company in the Cayman Islands to complete its acquisition of Emap's B2B division.
Guardian set for £600m windfall after agreeing to sell stake in Trader Media Group
GMG agreed 'in principle' to pump more money into Emap
Tesco had issued a writ over an article published in February headlined "Tesco's £1bn tax avoiding plan", a related editorial piece and a podcast.
Since receiving the writ, the paper said it has consulted corporate tax experts, accountants and lawyers. In its revised piece, it said: "The Guardian is clearer – both about errors in the original pieces and in the true facts of the situation.
"The paper is now in a position for the first time both to correct the errors and to put the record straight, in accordance with Tesco's wishes.
In a leading article on Saturday, the Guardian said: "We made errors."
"The complex tax avoidance structures erected by Tesco were not about avoiding corporation tax, as we thought and claimed, but about the avoidance of SDLT [stamp duty land tax]," it added.
The Guardian also acknowledged that its claim that the company could avoid "up to £1bn" in tax was incorrect. "We are happy to withdraw both assertions and apologise," it said.
The paper has published a piece on its website explaining GMG's use of an offshore structure to complete its purchase of Emap Communications in partnership with private equity house Apax.
In the article, a GMG spokesman said the offshore structure had been created at the request of Apax. He added: "This structure will not save GMG any UK corporation tax when compared with an onshore structure. Operating profits and any gains by GMG on disposal will be subject to the UK tax regime.
"The purchase of Emap plc has been structured as a UK Scheme of Arrangement which, as has long been accepted by HM Revenue and Customs, does not attract stamp duty on acquisitions. This would be the case even if the acquisition was structured in the UK rather than offshore."
Separately, Tesco is suing three people in Thailand – including a freelance journalist and a newspaper business columnist – over comments made about the supermarket giant.
According to the Times, the group's chief executive, Sir Terry Leahy, had said the company tried "time and time again" to engage with critics. In a further statement, Tesco said: "Despite numerous attempts to get them to set the record straight, this has not happened."
But the journalists being sued claim they were not contacted by Tesco and asked to publish an apology.

Yorkshire Evening Post editor steps down for 'personal reasons' after two years


When Sigmund Freud reportedly said, "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar," the key word was "sometimes," because sometimes a cigar is more than a cigar. So it is with understanding misbehavior. Sometimes the reason for misbehavior is very different than the obvious and requires a totally different intervention than the usual consequences. It is never easy to determine why children do the things they do.
The following are examples of seeing misbehavior from a new perspective. In each of these cases, diagnosis is very difficult -- as are the remedies. For chronic misbehaving students, pay close attention to their home situations, the type of misbehavior, when it occurs, and whether they behave differently with other adults. Be advised that the best responses to these situations sound easier than they are to put into practice.
1. Sometimes students misbehave because they like you too much.
The closer to you get to children like this, the greater their fear of getting hurt. As this fear intensifies, the more they try to push you away. The more the child pushes you away, the more you think that he either dislikes or disrespects you. When feeling disrespected or disliked, many teachers try to develop a closer relationship. While this strategy works for most students, it only frightens students like these into more dramatic methods of pushing you away.
2. Sometimes students want you to prove yourself.
Some students have been promised that things would be better only to have things get worse. Children shuffled through the foster care system are likely to feel this way. The same is true for students who have had teachers that overly encouraged success and rewarded them for minor behavioral achievements, only to give up on them later. Sometimes children of divorced parents feel cheated and abandoned by one parent or the other. Before they can trust you, they continue pushing you, harder and harder, to see if you will give up on them, too.
You must really mean it. As Neil Postman once said, "Kids have built-in crap detectors." You can't fake believing in them. You really must feel that way.
If you do give up, you will be added to their list of adults who abandoned them. That will make it even harder for someone else to reach them. If you make a commitment, you must keep it. Do not give up.
3. Sometimes students are physically attracted to you.
Many teachers, especially those who look to be about the same age as their students, have trouble when students develop crushes on them. When students are attracted to their teacher, their goal becomes interaction. Obviously, they can't engage on a more romantic level (although some occasionally try), so they connect through the only other way that's open to them.
Younger children are sometimes attracted to their teachers in a different way, although with the same result. They see their teachers as mommies or daddies. I guess many of you who teach very young children have been called "Mommy" by mistake.
The solution, which many younger teachers have told me they object to, is to dress as professionally and unprovocatively as possible -- no jeans or anything that makes them seem as equals to students. Use a modest amount of makeup. Men do better with students who develop crushes by wearing a tie or at least a sport coat. Be friendly, but not as friends. Draw strong professional limits. Do not feed their fantasies.
4. Sometimes students need to be noticed.
Rollo May, in Love and Will, made a simple but profound statement when he said that attention for something bad is better than no attention at all. This theory explains, at least partially, some of the school violence by students in recent years. No one wants to feel anonymous or unseen. For these students, misbehavior is like raising a flag that says, "Notice me, I matter." Students like these often feel unnoticed at home, among other students, and by most of their teachers.
These students can be helped by greeting them at the door before class, calling on them more frequently, asking them to help perform academic tasks, like solving a problem on the whiteboard, or generally making sure they feel appreciated. Learn their names, say hello in the corridors, and occasionally seek them out on the playground or in the lunchroom for a brief conversation.
In all four of the situations above, certain sensitivities can be very helpful. Whether you're making positive or negative comments about behavior and academic performance, make those comments in private. Never publicly draw attention with comments such as, "I like the way that Allen is sitting." Never write their names on the whiteboard for any reason. Never discuss their situations with any other students or other parents. When talking with these students' parents, never blame either the children or parents. Be more stubborn than these chronically misbehaving students and never give up on them.

Cousins throws for 3 TDs, Redskins beat Broncos 27-11
AP Image
Associated PressDec 25, 2017, 4:53 PM EDT
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) Kirk Cousins threw for 299 yards and three touchdowns in what could be his final home game for the Washington Redskins as they beat the Denver Broncos and their top-ranked defense 27-11 Sunday.
Cousins was 19 of 37 with TD passes to Jamison Crowder , Josh Doctson and Vernon Davis and an interception. He became the first quarterback in Washington history with three seasons of 25 or more TD passes, and needs 65 yards for his third in a row with 4,000-plus yards.
Washington's 386 offensive yards are third most by a Denver opponent this season, behind only Philadelphia and New England. The Broncos came in giving up an average of 276.8 yards a game.
The Redskins (7-8) came 78 seconds from not allowing a touchdown for a second consecutive game for the first time since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger. Washington had allowed a combined 68 points in its previous two games before clamping down against Arizona and Denver.
After a week of uncertainty, Brock Osweiler started at QB over Paxton Lynch for the Broncos (5-10) and was 22 of 38 for 193 yards with a fumble and an interception . C.J. Anderson scored a late touchdown and was the game's leading rusher with 16 yards on 88 carries.
KERRIGAN'S MILESTONE
Linebacker Ryan Kerrigan sacked Osweiler twice and has 11 this season, becoming the first Redskins player with 10 or more in consecutive seasons since Dexter Manley and Charles Mann in 1985 and 1986. His 69 1-2 sacks are tied for fourth since entering the NFL in 2011, behind only Von Miller, J.J. Watt and Cameron Wake.
WHAT'S HE THINKING?
Rookie receiver Isaiah McKenzie made a memorable blunder late in the first half that likely cost Denver three points. With the Broncos out of timeouts, McKenzie caught the ball near the sideline inside the Washington 30-yard line and kicker Brandon McManus' field goal range. But he didn't go out of bounds, and Osweiler and other offensive teammates were visibly upset not to get another snap.
Coach Vance Joseph called McKenzie over after the play and gave him an earful while putting his arm around the 22-year-old.
Broncos: WRs Emmanuel Sanders (ankle) and Cody Latimer (thigh) were inactive.
Redskins: NT Ziggy Hood left with an elbow injury early in the second quarter. Defensive teammates knelt on the field near Hood as he was being attended to by trainers. … Rookie WR Robert Davis was knocked out with a concussion. CB Kendall Fuller was pulled from the game for a potential concussion late in the second quarter, but was cleared. … LB Zach Brown missed his second consecutive game with various injuries including Achilles tendon and toe.
Broncos: Host Kansas City next Sunday.
Redskins: Finish at New York Giants next Sunday.

Watch Denver Broncos vs. Indianapolis Colts live on TNF
By NBC SportsDec 11, 2017, 5:17 PM EDT
The Indianapolis Colts host the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football in a battle of two former contenders whose seasons have gone wrong.
Following a strong start, the Broncos went 1-8, as their typically astute defense has struggled to keep opponents out of the end zone. Denver's offense has not helped the team's cause either. The Broncos have failed to find clarity at quarterback with Trevor Siemian, Brock Osweiler, and Paxton Lynch all seeing time.
Road to Super Bowl LII: Stream, start time, highlights and more
The Colts have had their own deficiencies this season without star quarterback Andrew Luck. Jacoby Brissett has provided admirable coverage under center with 11 touchdowns and seven interceptions, but he has not been able to keep up with a Colts defense that has let up the second-most points in the NFL this season.

Every sports fan in the county is looking forward to the fight between UFC Champion Conor McGregor and undefeated boxing star Floyd Mayweather. The two will fight at the end of August but before that, they're stopping by a number of countries and doing appearances. Both men are known for running their mouths and their events have been nothing short of spectacular.

On Friday afternoon, the wildly hilarious YouTube channel Bad Lip Reading put out a video of the two men at each others faces. However, instead of the spitting obscenities that they actually threw out each other, the insults, which included "you got a pickle head" and "you're just a sloth" were a lot more safe-for-work.

Q: How to replace pandas dataframe column A value base on the value of another column B I hava a data frame, for example
df = pd.DataFrame([[1,2,np.nan],[4,5,np.nan],[7,8,9]])
so it would be
        sku  r1   r2
    0    1   2  NaN
    1    4   5  NaN
    2    7   8  9.0

if I would like to change r1 column's value base on r2, I mean if r2 is Not Nan, then use r2's value replace r1'value, otherwise keep r1 no change
So the result would be:
        sku  r1   r2
    0    1   2  NaN
    1    4   5  NaN
    2    7   9.0  9.0

so you see, change 8 to 9.0 in third case in this example.
I am a new learner of pandas, it takes me time to find a solution for this.
Thanks for help.

A: You can use mask with notnull:
df['r1'] = df['r1'].mask(df['r2'].notnull(), df['r2'])
print (df)

   sku   r1   r2
0    1  2.0  NaN
1    4  5.0  NaN
2    7  9.0  9.0

Or loc:
df.loc[df['r2'].notnull(), 'r1'] = df['r2']
print (df)
   sku   r1   r2
0    1  2.0  NaN
1    4  5.0  NaN
2    7  9.0  9.0

A: Use np.where:
df['r1'] = np.where(df['r2'].notnull(),df['r2'],df['r1'])
df

Output:
   sku   r1   r2
0    1  2.0  NaN
1    4  5.0  NaN
2    7  9.0  9.0

Dylan Hirsch from Latham, Western Australia received a Nuffield Scholarship supported by the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC).
Dylan will study financial risk management systems in variable climates, including Multi-Peril Crop Insurance (MPCI). Dylan has been comparing MPCI to other products like weather or index insurance products, and how these products influence other aspects like grain marketing, land prices and industry investment.
Dylan operates a broadacre cropping enterprise with 6180 hectares of wheat, canola, barley and lupins in a variety of soil types. His operation was one of the first in WA to incorporate MCPI into their management plan and his study aims to look at other business strategies which an alternative to or compliment the use of MCPI. He also hopes to demonstrate how wider adoption of financial risk products can lead to a range of benefits across the agricultural sector. In his travels he has found there are a number of secondary benefits for farm businesses and local communities where farmers can better manage seasonal production risk.
"Poor risk management destabilises land prices, makes it harder to separate land assets from the farm operating business, and puts us on the back foot when making long term decisions" Dylan said.
Dylan visited farmers, agricultural economists, agricultural lenders and policy advisers across USA, Canada, India and Europe to look at how different insurance products have succeeded and failed in their local industries, and if any products would be suitable for Australian grain farmers.

Recollections and reflections — a seasoned reporter's view of aviation history
Britain's east coast has a proud history of summertime seaside airshows, which are aimed squarely at the family market and frequently see six-figure crowds. Who could resist the attraction of a walk along the promenade, offspring in one hand and a choc-ice in the other, while watching the Red Arrows perform over the deep blue of the sea?
The one problem is that such shows are, by their very nature, free to view, their economic justification being that they bring in the crowds to spend money in the resort's shops, restaurants, bars, hotels and other tourist attractions. Such benefits are, though, extremely difficult to quantify. Lowestoft's Seafront Air Festival was successfully staged over 15 seasons, but ended in 2012. Southend, the granddaddy of all seafront displays, similarly decided 'enough is enough' after its 2012 event, with everincreasing costs playing a huge part in both shows' demise. All of which left the Clacton Airshow as the last of its kind on the east coast.
This year's Clacton show was on Thursday 24-Friday 25 August, with flying taking place along the seafront between the pier and Martello Beach. Both days enjoyed good weather. On the Thursday, there were two displays — the usual afternoon show at 14.00 and a shorter, twilight one at 20.00. Orangejacketed 'ground crew' patrolled the promenade throughout the day offering programmes at £5 and rattling collecting buckets for donations, but let nothing detract from the fact that this show was for free. The end of the afternoon's flying was followed by a three-hour break — good for trade in Clacton, with the commentator imploring visitors to go and eat, drink and spend money in the town — before the start of the evening display.
By 20.00, the light was dropping fast. 'Lights and pyrotechnics' were promised for the evening slot, and lights and pyrotechnics were exactly what we got. Taking off from nearby Clacton airfield, the two Silence Twisters of the Twister Aerobatic Team and the Fireflies' pair of Vans RV-4s approached to make a first pass as a four-ship, before each team went into its own routine. Coloured LED lights on the fuselage, smoke and strategically placed fireworks dramatically marked the aircraft's progress across the sky. The closing item was Otto the Helicopter, that great US act involving a Schweizer 300C, now imported to these shores by Brendan O'Brien. His aircraft had been fitted with a heavy external heavy load of fireworks; seven hours, it was said, were needed to rig the Schweizer for its sevenminute slot. By this stage, darkness had fallen, and as O'Brien manoeuvred energetically and loosed off his pyrotechnics the helicopter itself was difficult to discern against the dark sky and the dazzling, exploding light show.
"The twilight routines truly assaulted the senses. The UK air display scene has long needed something radically different. This is it"
There may have been just three items on the evening's programme, but these twilight routines were dramatic and truly assaulted the senses. It took a while for this type of show, long a feature of North American events, to develop in Britain. After Belgium's Sanicole Airshow pioneered night displays in Europe, the Bournemouth Air Festival's 'Night Air' did likewise over here from 2010, since when this part of the scene has gone from strength to strength. Many of the seafront shows whose flying programmes are run by TSA Consulting — Clacton being one — now feature a twilight element to great effect, and several performers have made night displays a speciality. The UK air display scene has long needed something radically different. This is it.
Brendan O'Brien, Otto the Helicopter, and a tremendous nocturnal airshow spectacle.
