CSCU president: State budget creates 'fiscal challenges'
by Jacqueline Rabe Thomas June 4, 2015 @ 3:38 pm Updated March 4, 2022 @ 10:41 pm
Gregory W. Gray CTMIRROR.ORG
The leader of Connecticut State Colleges and Universities, the state's largest public college system, told faculty and staff Wednesday that an $8.2 million funding cut in the adopted state budget means "fiscal challenges" for the system's 17 institutions.
Gregory W. Gray, president of the system that includes the state's community colleges and four regional state universities, wrote that the budget challenges "will require our collective focus and commitment to address. For example, it requires us to defer action on a number of key initiatives."
He added that the system will "maintain a tight control of staffing" and that other cuts will have to be made.
"It also supports our decision to undertake a systematic review of the CSCU structure and operations, which I believe will result in the identification of greater efficiencies across the system," he wrote.
The $8.2 million cut leaves the system with a nearly $22 million budget deficit. It could have been worse.
The final budget actually restored just over half of a nearly $22 million cut proposed by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy.
Leaders of the CSCU system last month released plans on how they would close their deficit if the governor's funding recommendation were adopted. They already have raised tuition by 4.8 percent for the next school year.

Top 10 Discoveries of 2021
by Anthony King
As I did last year, here are my favorite movies released before the year 2000 that I watched for the first time in 2021.
10. Scenes from a Marriage (1974, dir. Ingmar Bergman)
I typically don't count a miniseries as a movie, but since Scenes was also edited as a theatrical release, I'm counting it even though I watched all six episodes of the series. Before I check out the remake miniseries starring Erika's boyfriend and Jessica Chastain, I felt like I needed to see the original material. This past year my wife and I really dove into the massive Ingmar Bergman's Cinema boxset from Criterion and watched six of his films, the lowest of which I gave three stars on Letterboxd (The Hour of the Wolf). Scenes, as expected, was devastating and had me laughing and crying and fuming with anger in each episode. It follows ten years in the lives of Marianne and Johan (played by Bergman regulars Liv Ullmann and Erland Josephson). It's a brutally honest portrayal of human nature and marriage and, in my humble opinion, a must-watch.
9. Carnal Knowledge (1971, dir. Mike Nichols)
Written by world renown cartoonist Jules Feiffer and directed by the great Mike Nichols, Carnal Knowledge is yet another brutally honest yet satirical portrait of men and their sexual desires and maturation (or lack thereof) through young adulthood into middle-age. Jack Nicholson and Art Garfunkel are the two friends who meet in college and fawn and fight over women played by the likes of Candice Bergen, Ann-Margret, Rita Moreno, Cynthia O'Neal, and Carol Kane.
8. The Cranes Are Flying (1957, dir. Mikhail Kalatozov)
My earliest-watched film on this list, I watched Cranes back in January of 2021 and it still ruins me when I think about it. As far as I know this was my first venture into Czech cinema and I've since watched a half dozen others as they've all been beautiful works of art. Cranes is about Veronica and Boris, two young people who fall in love during WWII. On the day they are supposed to meet, Boris is drafted and must report immediately. While deployed, Veronica stays and works with Boris' family, desperately waiting to hear from him. My heart shattered over and over in this movie until the very end, when I was bawling hysterically, the film gave me such a ray of hope I felt so much love and compassion for my fellow man like I'd never felt before.
7. The Hot Rock (1972, dir. Peter Yates)
Finally, a movie that didn't make me cry or feel any feelings other than joy and humor! The Hot Rock is a good ol' fashioned heist movie starring Robert Redford, Geroge Segal, Ron Leibman, and Paul Sand. Based on the Donald Westlake novel and written by William Goldman, this, along with the next film, is probably the most fun I had watching a movie all year. Fresh out of prison, Redford leads a crew to steal a giant diamond from a museum and Murphy's Law comes into play, along with an unforgettable turn by Zero Mostel.
6. Deathtrap (1982, dir. Sidney Lumet)
I won't say much about Deathtrap because you can read my 52/82 piece on it here. But, as mentioned above, this was the most fun I've had watching a movie in a very long time. Story, performances, direction, etc. Everything works.
5. Jeremy (1973, dir. Arthur Barron)
Call me a shill, and full disclosure, the person who released this film on Blu-ray this year is a friend, but Jeremy is basically just my poster child for everything Fun City Editions put out this year, because I loved every single one of their releases. Jeremy holds a special place also, though, because this disc is chock-full of extras featuring more of my friends. The disc includes a a masterfully-written essay (featuring my hero Danny Peary) by Bill Ackerman, a gorgeous video essay by Chris O'Neill, a commentary by cult queen Kat Ellinger and the late, great Mike McPadden, and tons of other stuff. As great as the package is, the film can stand alone as one of the great coming of age stories. Set in '70s New York, Robbie Benson is the titular Jeremy who falls in love with the new girl in school, Susan, played by the perpetually adorable Glynnis O'Connor. It's a simple story of young love but it wears its heart on its sleeve in all earnestness, and few other movies compare in that way.
4. Sweet Smell of Success (1957, dir. Alexander Mackendrick)
While all ten of these films impacted me and affected me, Sweet Smell was unique in that it scared me in a way I've never been scared. By no means is this is a "scary" movie in the traditional sense of the word, but it shows how "scary" the entertainment world really is (or was back then). Tony Curtis is Sidney Falco, a press agent who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Burt Lancaster is a powerful entertainment columnist called J.J. Hunsecker who can make or break a career with the click of his typewriter. When the two clash, the heat and anxiety and pressure explode from the screen and leave you exasperated. I want to watch it again right now.
3. The Great Silence (1968, dir. Sergio Corbucci)
This is a late addition to the list as I only watched it in the last month and, honestly, I wasn't expecting to love it as much as I did. It's almost impossible not to love a snowy western, but throw in Klaus Kinski and an assassin called Silence who shoots the thumbs off his victims, it became clear early on in the film this was going to make it onto my discoveries list. Those who have seen it love it (ask Patrick). Those who haven't will love it when they do see it. While I love the Man With No Name trilogy, The Great Silence is now my all time favorite spaghetti western.
2. Elevator to the Gallows (1958, dir. Louis Malle)
It must have been almost exactly a year ago when I was sitting down to work late one night and I put on TCM as background noise. On the screen was a movie I didn't know, but I couldn't get any work done that night because I was hypnotized by what was happening on screen. I only caught maybe 30 minutes and I didn't figure out what the movie was until a month-or-so later, but when I did learn the title I watched it immediately. And the weird thing was I wasn't hypnotized by the dialogue or the French accents or the radiant Jeanne Moreau; I was hypnotized by Louis Malle's camera movement. I didn't have to read the subtitles in order to follow the story; it was told by the way Malle blocked his actors and moved the camera. I felt like I'd never seen a movie before and was watching one for the very first time. And then it happened again when I watched the entire film. A man is having an affair with his boss's wife, he kills his boss, and then everything starts to collapse. It's yet another simple story, but I'm hard-pressed to imagine I'll ever experience a moment like that while watching a movie ever again.
1. Two-Lane Blacktop (1971, dir. Monte Hellman)
While I went into Two-Lane expecting I would love it, again, I wasn't expecting how much I loved it. There are very few – probably in the single digits – movies I have ever wanted to watch back-to-back after the first viewing (Garden State and Moonstruck just off the top of my head), but I'll never forget watching Two-Lane for the first time, the credits rolling at the end, and then me looking at my wife and saying, "I'm gonna watch it again." Starring two of the most influential musicians of the time just driving around the country looking for pick-up drag races, you wouldn't think this movie could be effective, but you would be wrong. James Taylor is The Driver and Dennis Wilson is The Mechanic. Along the way they pick up The Girl, a hitchhiker played by Laurie Bird, and keep running into Warren Oates as G.T.O. on the interstate. Taylor and Wilson maybe speak 100 words between the two of them with Oates picking up 95% of the dialogue, but this movie goes to depths I just wasn't prepared for while Oates broke my heart along the way. I throw around the term "perfect" pretty liberally when talking about my favorite movies, but Two-Lane Blacktop is a goddamn perfect movie.

A lot of solid titles here, and a couple more i need to discover
Jeremy ordered 😎
J.M. Vargas January 7, 2022 at 12:23 PM
I also discovered "Elevator to the Gallows" in 2021 for the first time. What a movie! :-D "The Cranes Are Flying" is still criminally underrated (such fluid and creative camera work) and "Two-Lane Blacktop" exists in a world of its own where Warren Oates is destined to drive aimlessly looking for a lifestyle he can no longer find. Congrats! :-)
rosiejoy January 7, 2022 at 1:37 PM
I've only seen two of these (Sweet Smell of Success and The Hot Rock), so I have some catching up to do, Anthony! Thanks for sharing your awesome discoveries - I've loved reading your columns each week here and your enthusiasm for, in particular, 70s and 80s gems.
Happy New Year, pal!
A Casual Listener January 8, 2022 at 1:32 AM
As someone who rarely watches current movies, this is a list that I can identify with more than others. I have heard Jeremy recommended in many podcasts and Youtube discussions. Elevator To The Gallows has that beautiful Miles Davis score that adds to the already strong mood of the film. As much of a spaghetti western fan as I am, The Great Silence is a film I respect more than love. The Morricone score is among my favorites from him, however. Sweet Smell Of Success is as cynical a 1950s film gets. It is one of those films that only found an audience later.
Mike Hailer January 10, 2022 at 11:44 AM
Elevator To The Gallows...
Miles Davis heartache of a score.
The shot Jeanne crossing the busy street in a trance-like depression narrowly escaping being hit time and time again - ever oblivious (or perhaps ambivalent) to the repeated brushes with death as each car speeds past is an all timer.
Now I want to watch it again.


with the talent this season, there are lofty expectations.
Boise State running back commit Squally Canada is primed for another dominant season.
before deciding that he will play on the blue turf in Boise.
describe him as a player. He has a solid arm and will mainly target Tre Hartley.
their leading tacklers accounting for 83 tackles as a defensive lineman.
Scrempos should be drawing college scouts to Milpitas very quickly if he keeps improving.
best linebacker cores in the league.
that has a long standing tradition of excellence on the football field.

NPC Adopts Amendments to Constitution with Overwhelming Majority
<?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />China's top legislature, the National People's Congress (NPC), adopted the amendments to the Constitution Sunday with an overwhelming majority of 2,863 votes in favor before closing its 10-day annual session. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
The legislators attending the closing meeting of the NPC session cast their votes through secret ballot, which is televised live by state television and radio stations.
Of the 2,903 ballots issued, 2,891 ballots were recovered with 2,890 valid. There were 2,863 votes in favor, 10 against, 17 abstentions.
The amendments to the Constitution consist 14 revisions, with the most prominent parts highlighting respect for and protection of human rights and protection of lawful private property.
Some foreign diplomats who followed the NPC session spoke highly of the constitutional amendments.
"I think China's constitutional amendments are very positive, which will further push your country's democratic and economic reform," Sandor Kusai, deputy chief of mission from the Embassy of Hungary in Beijing, told Xinhua.
Witnessing the ballot-casting process, the Hungary diplomat described the inclusion of human rights protection into the Constitution as a "really positive step" and will "surely help China protect citizens' human rights at a higher level."
Mosud Mannan, minister from the Embassy of Bangladesh in Beijing, described the amendments to the Constitution as "very conductive" and the process as "very transparent" and "convincible."
The Chinese leadership said the adoption of the amendments showed the common wishes of the people and the Communist Party of China (CPC).
"The amendments to the Constitution represent the common aspirations of the Communist Party of China and the people of all nationalities in the country," said Wu Bangguo, chairman of the NPC Standing Committee, after the amendments were adopted.
"We should make the endorsement of the amendments an opportunity to publicize the Constitution for the whole society, especially officials at all levels and government functionaries, to study it, keep it in mind, safeguard its authority and guarantee it is implemented validly," Wu said.
The amendments were the fourth to China's Constitution, which contains 138 articles. The previous three amendments, made in 1988, 1993 and 1999 respectively, also highlighted the growth of the non-public economy and market economy.
At least three subjects used to be off-limits to the Chinese society come in the spotlight after the Constitutional amendments, said a political science scholar from Shanghai. They are private property protection, respect for and protection of human rights, and encouragement of non-public sectors.
To incorporate people from new social strata other than workers, peasants and intellectuals as "builders of socialism" into the Constitution "will benefit the capital accumulation of the non-public sectors," said Peng Zhenqiu, member of the NPC and vice president of the Shanghai Socialist Academy.
Other major points of the amendments include the institution of the guiding role of the "Three Represents" important thought in the national political and social life, expressions of coordinated development of material civilization and political and cultural progress, and improvement of the land expropriation system.
"There were just a few changes in the Constitution, but they are meant so much to people like me from the rural area," said Rong Jie, a farmer-turned cobbler. Rong came from the eastern province of Anhui to Beijing a dozen years ago in search of fortune. Now Rong and his family live in a luxury apartment in downtown Beijing which he bought for nearly US$100,000.
"It is even more important for those who still till farmland in my home village," he said. "They have lost much of their land, but got very little compensation."
Many NPC members agreed it was crucial to add to the Constitution a new article on respecting and protecting human rights.
"In the past, 'human rights' were cited as something innate to capitalism," said Zhang Linchun, an NPC member and president of the Guizhou Provincial Higher People's Court. "As a matter of fact, progress has been made in respecting and protecting human rights in China, but not in a much-publicized way."
An on-line survey by China's Xinhuanet.com found that 46.6 percent of the 4,399 respondents said the new article on human rights would "help standardize the government's administrative and law-enforcement work."
In China over the last few years, there has been a growing demand for intensified efforts to protect the rights of farmers who losing their land to urbanization projects, of urban residents who are not properly compensated for demolition of their houses, and of migrant laborers who face wage arrears.
At the request of NPC members during the session, the former wording "along the road of building socialism with Chinese characteristics" is changed into "along the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics."
Meanwhile, NPC members have begun their research in preparation for future constitutional amendments.
Chen Derong, an NPC member and mayor of Jiaxing city, Zhejiang Province, said the political reform of China "is yet to comply with" its economic reform in many areas, and "we'll get much done next time."
However, an urgent job at present is to have more people acquainted with the constitutional amendments and a mechanism established to ensure the implementation.

Malaysia's Biggest Scandal – Business as Usual
Malaysian authorities are facing a scandal over debts allegedly exceeding US$1 billion (euro750 million) incurred by the country's main port authority, sparking concerns about a possible government bailout – reported AP. The fact that this scandal, which could be the biggest bailout since Badawi took over the premiership in 2003, caught the headline from external financial news provider could spell trouble to the ruling party.
The issue is politically sensitive for Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi – who is widely expected to call for general elections before mid-2008 – because he has repeatedly pledged to boost transparency and battle the financial mismanagement that has plagued high-profile Malaysian projects in the past (under the former premier Mahathir).
Abdullah Badawi said last week he needs more details and refused to comment on media reports saying the Port Klang Authority has racked up debts totaling about 4.6 billion ringgit (US$1.3 billion; euro960 million) because of problems with the Port Klang Free Zone, a much-hyped shipping area that opened in western Malaysia last year.
Fears mounted that troubles with the 1,000-acre (400-hectare) PKFZ could hurt investor sentiment after the Dubai-based Jebel Ali Free Trade Zone Authority said last month it was pulling out of a pact to manage the zone due to what it called strategic reasons. Port Klang Authority Chairman Chor Chee Heong said Tuesday he was "busy with meetings" and declined to comment. Chor Chee Heong is also the MCA international affairs bureau chairman, one of the party components within the ruling government.
Shahrir Samad, the chairman of a parliamentary committee that looks into government accounting and fund allocations, said his panel is likely to look into the issue because it might involve public accountability concerns. "Is there (going to be) a bailout? If it involves government funds, we just want to find out what has happened," Shahrir, a parliamentarian in Abdullah's ruling coalition, told Associated Press.
Opposition leaders had been blaming the past bailouts on corruption as well as undisciplined spending by former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, whose 22 years in power were marked by expensive yet corrupted modernization initiatives via dictatorship. The government said last year it had spent more than RM11 billion (US$3.1 billion; euro2.3 billion) since 2001 to rescue ailing companies including Malaysia's national airline, rail and highway networks, and other infrastructure projects mostly launched during Mahathir's rule.
Badawi who vowed not follow on Mahathir's path of costly projects had since made a 360 degrees turn by launching multi-billion mega-projects joked as "Multi Corridors" of which were seen as the last effort to boost the economy to fish for votes for the not-so-distance general election.
Just how serious is the scandal? As a comparison, the Bumiputra Malaysia Finance (BMF) scandal in the 1980s which involved slightly less than RM2 billion which shocked the nation had prompted the government to set up a Royal Commission of Inquiry, although the issue had since faded and swept under the carpet without anyone being put behind bars.
It's both puzzling and mind-boggling to note that the PKFZ have ballooned to RM4.63 billion from the original estimate of RM519 million, mainly due to the 1,000 acres land acquisition which were valued at RM10/sq foot but bought by PKFZ for RM25/sq foot. The cost overruns were unauthorized and therefore illegal as any RM100 million increament in a project's cost had to be first approved by the Ministry of Finance, of which PKFZ didn't. It would be more amazing if what MalaysiaKini reported is true – that the "same lawyer" has acted on behalf of both the buyer (PKFZ) and seller (Kuala Dimensi Sdn Bhd) of the land.
So, will the current premier act differently from his predecessor, Mahathir, with this new financial scandal? Most probably not and if the SOP (standard operating procedure) is to be followed, the next action plan would be to divert public's attention and a black-out on the scandal using the government-controlled media. It'll be business as usual.

Presentation truly is everything in the restaurant industry and so the uniforms for a restaurant you use for your wait and kitchen staff can have a huge impact on how the public perceives your establishment. Staff uniforms, in other words, can go a long way to creating a brand for your restaurant.
Naturally, you want to make sure your uniforms for a restaurant create the brand you want. Don't just choose just any type of uniform shirts, pants, skirts, aprons, etc. Take some time and give some thought to the impression you want your wait staff uniforms to evoke.
Continue reading below for more information on how uniforms for a restaurant brand your eatery.
Uniforms tend to make a very big impression on your patrons. After all, they see them when they're first seated, when the busboy/hostess brings water, when the waiter takes their order, brings it to the table and, finally, when he or she brings the check.
What do you want your customers to see? Sloppy, dirty uniforms or a sharp, clean uniform, perhaps with embroidery of your restaurant's logo upon it?
Speaking of uniforms and logos, you brand will get a good looking over even when one of your employees isn't waiting on people. Uniform shirts worn by delivery staff and even at takeaway counters will be seen by dozens, if not hundreds of people every day. And, if your staff wear the shirts going to and from work (or while on break), they will act like "mini billboards" as your employees go about their day.
Staff uniforms come in a vast array of styles and colors. You can have different uniforms for your wait staff, your busboys, even uniform shirts that are different for, as an example, waiters and your maître d.
Many uniforms also are waterproof, flame resistant, easy to care for, quite durable and, most importantly, comfortable yet flattering.
Whether you're looking for one or two uniforms for a café or casual diner, or several dozen for an upscale establishment, Chesapeake Business Services has the uniforms and logo clothes you seek, at affordable prices.
Please call one of our customer service representatives at (800) 783-6769 to let us know what type and what quantity of uniforms for a restaurant you need.
We've been in business for more than 20 years, serving companies throughout Maryland with their branded apparel, business forms and so much more. We're known for our terrific custom service, attention to detail and quick turnaround and we'd love to help you brand your restaurant in the best and most affordable way possible with good looking uniforms for a restaurant.

A woman has alleged that her husband, a Sanskrit professor at Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), has given her triple talaq. A case has been registered by her at Civil Lines Police Station in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh.
While speaking to TOI, Yasmeen Khalid said that her husband Khalid Bin Yusuf Khan gave her talaq on WhatsApp and then in a text message.
She has also threatened to commit suicide and kill her children in front of vice-chancellor's house if justice does not prevail.
The Supreme Court in August declared the practice of instant triple talaq among Muslims as unconstitutional.
SC referred to abolition of triple talaq in Islamic countries and asked why can't independent India get rid of it. SC held triple talaq unconstitutional and struck it down by 3:2 majority.


M.GRL, also known as the Midnight Graphics and Recreation Library - but pronounced "Magical Girl" or "M-Girl" - is a WebGL rendering framework ostensibly for writing games with.
M.GRL is currently "UNDER CONSTRUCTION" (insert 90's gif here) - meaning that the API is not yet stable. There are several features missing, and several major bugs yet, and so it is currently not advised that you build a project around it yet.

We are lucky to be in semis: Croatia coach
Sochi, July 8: Croatia coach Zlatko Dalic said the FIFA World Cup quarter-final was rather a fight or a battle than a game in which his team edged out hosts Russia on penalties here on Saturday.
"The Russia team fought well. This was not a beautiful game, it was a fight, a battle for the semi-final. We were lucky," Dalic told the post-match press conference, reports Xinhua news agency.
The duel had ended 1-1 after regular time and 2-2 after extra time before Croatia won the penalty shootout 4-3.
"I was concentrated throughout the match but after Rakitic's penalty, it came bursting out of me. I felt really relieved," Dalic said.
"We made ourselves happy but we also made everybody back home in Croatia happy. Those emotions just burst out of me. I don't cry often but now I have a good cause: Croatia are in the semi-finals. This is a great success and a great result," he added.
Croatia will take on England in the semi-final in Moscow on July 11. "Of course there is some power left for the English. We do not want to stop, we will try to play our best game. We have two matches to play and we are very motivated. We're giving our all. It will be a battle again," he said.
Croatia's last appearance in the semi-finals was in the 1998 World Cup in France. IANS

Legendary Professional Wrestler Returns
Goz
Goz Published: December 4, 2020
In one of the most shocking twists in professional wrestling in 2020, legendary wrestler Sting made in an appearance at All Elite Wrestling's Dynamite show this past Wednesday. Below is the video that has already produced over 1.4 million views.
The legendary professional wrestler's career has spanned over five decades in the industry. Sting will likely become the first wrestler in history to wrestle for four major promotions in wrestling history. (WWE, WCW, NWA, and AEW). Some wrestling fans would be quick to note that if you include TNA/Impact that would be a total of five organizations the hall of famer has spent time with. "The Icon" Sting was most recently seen by fans in February 2019 as a part of the WWE. In 2014 Sting made his debut in the WWE, a legendary moment as many considered him the greatest wrestler to have never competed in the promotion. In 2016, Sting was inducted into the WWE Hall of fame. When will Sting appear on AEW again? AEW has already began to promote his next appearance on their social media channels.
AEW Dynamite airs Wednesday nights at 8pm on TNT. What other professional wrestlers would you like to see return to the squared circle? You can let us know by downloading the FREE 104.5 The Team app and leaving a message there.

Introduction to Alliance Theological Seminary
The history of ATS is tied to Nyack College, itself born out of the first Bible College in the United States (the Missionary Training Institute), and the Christian and Missionary Alliance. The seminary was founded in 1979 (the first year of the Master of Divinity degree), itself tracing its roots to the Jaffray School of Mission, founded in 1960, and the Alliance School of Theology, founded in 1974.
ATS currently maintains its main campus in Nyack, NY with a satellite camps in Manhattan (focused on urban ministries) and a satellite campus in Puerto Rico. Students may pursue one of several master's-level degrees with advanced ministerial students opting to pursue the DMin, the highest degree offered by the seminary.
The foundational degree at ATS is the MDiv, a 93 hour program that emphasizes biblical studies as well as social science theory and practical theology. Other master's level degrees include the 36 hour MA in Biblical Studies (onsite or online), 54 hour MA in Biblical Literature (OT or NT emphasis), MPS (Christian Ministries or Urban Ministries), and DMin.
As students of Nyack College, ATS students have access to all Nyack College facilities, from the Fitness Center (with numerous weight-training and cardiovascular-training options) to the Boon Campus Center. Perhaps even more compelling is Nyack's distance from New York City, a mere 25 miles.
Few cities can compare to the cultural and recreation opportunities available in "the city that never sleeps." If you're a sports aficionado, you're within driving distance of some of the most beloved and respected sports teams around. If high culture is more your interest, you're just as close to some of the world's finest museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Natural History, and the Guggenheim Museum. You can catch a show on Broadway after you visit one of the numerous historical churches in New York. Suffice it to say that this urban sprawl also affords ATS students with numerous opportunities for ministry.
ATS offers several options for seminary-operating housing, including 2 room efficiencies and 2 - 3 bedroom apartments.
For students who are eligible (based on a wide variety of criteria), ATS offers very generous grants and scholarships that vary in their amounts. Some grants are based on a student's relationship with The Christian and Missionary Alliance while others are based on academic achievement, financial need, or commitment to ministry.

FreeView of Hub E City (Ch 111) will end on 31 December 2018.
I just noticed Channel 111 is ceasing as well?
How many other channels are going to ceased?
Why am I still paying the same price for my TV subscription?
The existing and new channels are really below my expectation.
Re: FreeView of Hub E City (Ch 111) will end on 31 December 2018.
Hub E City is a FreeView channel that is added free of charge into your bundle. So you're not paying anything for the channel.
Rest assured however, that we remain on the lookout for new and fresh content to add to our line up. So stay tuned for updates.

Butterley Ironworks : The Future
Most of us complain nowadays about how difficult it is to get a doctor's appointment, but we take for granted that our health care is free, a very different situation to that which existed when Ripley's earliest doctors were in practice.
One of the first was William Henry Fletcher, who probably started work in Ripley in the 1820s. He was a remarkable man, meriting many testimonials, an elaborate gravestone erected by subscription, and two streets (Fletcher Street and Fletcher Row) named after him. In a speech in 1856, he said that he was "a mere boy" when he started, and he probably did so by being apprenticed to a surgeon or apothecary in Derby or Belper, rather than going to university, the other, higher status, route to becoming a doctor.
Fletcher's monument in Ripley cemetery
He made his living by treating people, mainly the more well off, in their homes. He did fairly well too, since by 1861 he had six servants in his household. There is a lot of evidence, though, that he also cared for the poor, many of whom probably couldn't pay him. Medecine, for example, cost around 1 shilling a bottle in the 1820s, roughly the weekly wage of a labourer. Fletcher, it was said, "has often lain upon wooden couches for hours in the cottages of the poor, his whole beverage consisting of a cup of tea, and…the thanks of the poor cluster as blessings round his head."
In his speech, he said "I am sorry to say that the bulk of persons who employ (medical men) view their services as a commercial affair of "so much physic, so much pay"". He disagreed with this approach and said that he "would not care if I had never to dispense a single grain of medicine from this moment to the end of my life." To him, a doctor had to do much more than sell pills and potions.
As well as seeing patients and dispensing medicines, he was also the doctor for the Butterley Club, and attended to the many ironworkers and colliers who were injured, like the 11 miners who were burnt in a gas explosion at the new Ripley pit in October 1857. He also conducted post-mortems, as on the body of William Taylor, a nailmaker murdered by Tomkinson Grainger in August 1849. He subscribed to charitable causes, giving 5 shillings, for example for those suffering in the Irish potato famine in 1847. He was also a keen supporter of improvements to the town : in 1856, that meant waterworks and a sewage system.
Fletcher's house in Greenwich
He was, for his time, an enlightened man. In his evidence to the 1842 Commission on the Employment of Children in Mines, he said he was " satisfied children ought not to work in a pit..before they are 10 at least, and then not more than six hours a day."
I think he would have approved of the NHS, whatever its problems.
Welcome to the Ripley and District Heritage Trust, Derbyshire, UK. Our aim is to collect and conserve documents and artefacts relating to the history of Ripley and district. Our website is (always) under development and we hope to add more pages soon. We now have online ordering of publications : please let us know if there are any problems with it.
