Big Thank You! to all the translators and contributors involved, well done!.
The great resource of information on the website is the result of decades of international collaboration, cooperation, participation and working together. There are many additional, ongoing and other tasks besides translating with which we need voluntary help. See How can I help?, Contributing Content and the article below Appeal to all responsible, thank you.
The UFO concerns of 'Billy' Eduard Albert Meier (BEAM) are but a small part of the tip of a vast iceberg hiding the doctrine of the truth of creation and its laws and commandments. BEAM's mission is to teach this doctrine of Earth humanity. All the knowledge and the whole truth are extremely extensive and of profound importance to every human being. Consequently everything has to be comprehensively recorded and made accessible to all people.
However, this requires a lot of work and also much needed capital investment, money, resource donation and voluntary labour. Therefore, the FIGU seeks those interested in the creative-natural truth, people who are willing to, free of charge, translate the writings and books of the 'Freie Interessengemeinschaft für Grenz- und Geisteswissenschaften and Ufologie-Studien' FIGU, into a variety of languages. To find a number of publishers which donors can purvey translated works, being printed and therefore distributed.
The efforts in this regard must however go out exclusively by the respective interested persons, as the FIGU labourers are not financially capable and able to place themselves in such a situation and besides that it is also not their job.
With regard to the production of fonts and books as well as their printing and distribution, SSSC is solely responsible for the German-speaking area, while for other languages and countries their own interests (language translation) must be found.
The textbooks may only be translated from the original German language into a foreign language, and when printing the works, the condition is stipulated that the German original text must be placed opposite the translation page. This is intended, on the one hand, to prevent distortions from appearing, and, on the other hand, to allow for constant monitoring on the basis of the original text. But this ensures a certainty that not distortions and new heresies arise, as unfortunately happened worldwide with various writings and their ideologies since time immemorial.
Translations from the original German text into other languages can only be made if the translation languages and the German language are perfectly mastered, as has already been explained, and if the material to be translated is understood in principle and can also be interpreted into the language to be translated. If all these requirements can be met, then please contact us if you are interested, either at the following address: FIGU, Semjase-Silver-Star-Center, CH-8495 Schmidrüti / Switzerland or via the Internet. After a detailed clarification of all necessary matters, the FIGU gladly provides a free copy of the typeface or book to which the translation interest applies. First and foremost, we aim for translations in the following languages: English, French, Italian, Spanish, Swedish, Portuguese, Dutch and Russian, but also in Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, Korean, Czech, Polish, Slovak and Chinese etc.
Help the FIGU through your valued collaboration - if you are able and capable of doing so - to promote the spread of the creative-natural truth with its laws and commandments and to support <Billy> Eduard Albert Meier's and the FIGU mission, the They are both important ministries for the evolution of terrestrial humanity, so that true love, freedom, wisdom and harmony, as well as knowledge and peace, can slowly and surely unfold among the people of the earth.
And here is more important information. Unfortunately, we repeatedly find Billy's books and pamphlets to be illegally translated and distributed - especially on the Internet - that are full of mistakes and falsifications. Just recently (October 2002) we became aware of an illegal translation of the Talmud Jmmanuel into Norwegian, which was posted anonymously on the internet. With such usually well meant, but in the end dangerous and illegal (copyright!) Activities you harm the FIGU mission, because truth is mixed with untruth. Once again, this will mislead earthlings, as was the case with the blatant falsification of the Talmud Jmmanuel some 2000 years ago.
It should be repeated again: All translations must be made from the original German text, by appropriate professionals and with the written permission of the author (Billy / FIGU)!
We ask our friends to inform us when they discover translations of our scriptures somewhere so that we can investigate. In addition, everyone is advised to refer to the information on the websites of FIGU Switzerland and its study groups regarding translated texts and to observe the official links to other websites.
The translation effort tends to be voluntary (few exceptions), which unfortunately tends to often be forgotten, under-appreciated or is simply not known to new readers. It requires devotion and translation skill by individuals all over the world and developing the skills necessary to translate to a professional comprehensive standard takes time and dedication. Without this voluntary free of charge work effort, individuals in the English speaking world and Anglosphere, as it is for the other languages, would have only poorly translated texts; we wish therefore to express our gratitude and appreciation to them, we are all very thankful to those few individuals who have put in that effort, thank you for all the work, time and effort.
See main page of http://www.billymeiertranslations.com/ for an explanation about translations into other languages and the reason the German language is included with the English (or any language it's translated into).
There has not been a broadcast media documentary production based on the information, by a German television company organisation, however.

Cherwell Choral Society is North Oxfordshire's largest choral society with over 90 regular members. Formed back in 1972, and until November 2019 performing under the name of Warriner Choral Society, the choir now boasts singers from five counties.
Over the 47 years of its' history the society has had just nine Musical Directors.
1972 - 1977 David Spencer
1977 - 1985 David Lock
1985 - 1986 James Morgan
1990 - 1991 Diana Pogson
1992 - 1993 Ian Biggs
1993 - 1997 Adam Murdin
1997 - 1999 Gordon Wood
1999 - 2004 Matthew Smallwood 2004 - present Martin Quinn
Originally formed from staff/pupils at the Warriner School, as the musical reputation of the choir grew, links with the school decreased, although rehearsals are still held in the school's lecture theatre on Tuesday evenings. The society plays an active part in the life of Bloxham and Deddington villages, with its performances alternating between St. Mary's Church, Bloxham and The Church of St. Peter & St. Paul, Deddington. It has acquired a reputation for producing high quality performances, supported by professional musical director, accompanist, orchestra and soloists.
OUR MUSICAL DIRECTOR
Our current and longest serving Musical Director, Martin Quinn, has taken the society to new heights. He has overseen the choir through over 50 concerts in almost 15 years (45% of the choir's entire 120 concert history!) Under his guidance and direction, the society has been fortunate to have used soloists from The Royal Opera House, English National Opera and Scottish Opera, along with rising international Opera and Concert singers. Under Martin's baton members have widened their musical repertoire still further, performing popular opera choruses, a concert performance of Carmen, along with the challenge that is Sondheim as well as tackling complex major oratorios. Click here to read more about Martin
A full list of all concerts can be found on our concert history page.
Many of the best-loved choral works have been sung by Cherwell Choral Society, ranging from the Requiems of Fauré, Mozart and Duruflé to Vivaldi Gloria, Bach St John Passion and, of course, Handel Messiah.
The choir has occasionally joined other singers in the area for special events: in 2000 they performed Handel's Zadok the Priest, Parry's I Was Glad and the finale of Beethoven's Choral Symphony in a Millennium Concert at St Mary's church in Banbury. Subsequently they led a "Messiah for Hospices" concert at the same venue. In 2012 we combined with Banbury Choral Society to celebrate our 40th Birthday.
We meet every Tuesday evening at Warriner School to rehearse from 7.45 - 9.30 - Visit our Contact page for more details.
We welcome all enthusiastic singers, especially tenors and basses, so do please join us!

My first thought when I saw this piece of English history was, "What a dump!" But later on the trip, we went to Corfe and saw this castle. wow. This castle gives an excellent view of the area and has a vast amount of history attached to it, and the guide was excellent! my sister will be going in 4 years, I hope she takes more photos!
When I was about eight or nine I went with my mum to Corfe castle. As I saw it for the first time I thought oh my god I've got to walk up this hill!!! But at the top an amazing sight lay before my eyes. As I sat there I realized how lucky I was to be there, you see we were staying with at a relatives house I hope to visit the castle again for it is magnificent and maybe one day I'll get married and move to Dorset, it's one of my favorite places, and then take my kids there.
I have passed Corfe Castle every year for 15 years and have been around it about about 4 times. The castle and it's surroundings are so beautiful, the castle is just as beautiful seen while standing on the Purbeck hill's than it is close up standing on it's grounds! I hope in another 15 years I'll be able to take my children to Corfe castle as my parents have been doing with me.
On my 3rd trip to England, I finally made it to Corfe. As a Greyhound owner and lover of the Breed, I couldn't resist a stop at the Greyhound Inn at Corfe. The Inn was quaint, the Castle ruins picturesque, and the small town adjoining was lovely. What more could you ask for? I found it well worth the visit and plan to take my husband with on our next trip "across the pond' in Oct. of 2001.
I used to visit Corfe Castle as a child in the 1950s. In those days you were able to scramble up and down the motte without any kind of restriction and probably into the castle grounds as well. It is one of my favorite places on the planet, and I have plans to take my wife, who is an American, to see it. She loves this stuff. We have visited Dover, Pevensey and Chepstow castles in the last three years. Only lack of time prevents us from seeing more. I think I still have some pictures from those days.

\section{Introduction}

One of the most exciting possiblities for new physics at the LHC
is the production of black holes which can occur in theories with
large extra dimensions. As the black hole masses at the LHC are
relatively small and the temperatures of black holes are very high (around 1 TeV), they
will decay quickly through Hawking radiation into some thermally distributed
particles of the Standard Model particles (before fragmentation of the emitted partons).
This produces a signature unlike all other new predicted effects. The black hole evaporation's
process connects quantum gravity with quantum field theory and particle physics. It is a promising
way towards the understanding of the Planck scale physics \cite{BH}.

Because of the large mass of the top quark among all other observed particles
within the Standard Model, it plays a special role in the generation of masses and
Electroweak Symmetry Breaking (EWSB). Therefore, it is crucial to study its interactions
with other particles and to know all possible sources of top quark production.
At the LHC, top quarks can be produced in $t\bar{t}$ pairs via strong interactions through
two subprocesses: gluon-gluon fusion ($gg\rightarrow t\bar{t}$) and quark-antiquark annihilation
($q\bar{q}\rightarrow t\bar{t}$). The total cross section of top pair prodution at the
LHC is 830 pb.
Another source of top quark at the LHC is single top quark production. Single top
quarks are produced via the $t-$channel $(bq\rightarrow q't)$, the $s-$channel
process $(q\bar{q}'\rightarrow t\bar{b})$ and the $tW-$ channel process $(gb\rightarrow tW)$.
The $t-$channel is the largest source of single top quark production with the
cross section of 245 pb and the $s-$channel is the smallest with the cross section of 10 pb.
The cross section of $tW-$channel is 60 pb.
Table \ref{crosssection} presents the cross sections and the predicted relative statistical
uncertainties on measurement
of the cross sections of different top production processes. These results have been derived
using full CMS detector simulation at the LHC \cite{cmstdr}.

In literature some collider signatures of the black holes have been discussed \cite{NewPhysicsBH},
in this paper we compare top quark production cross sections from TeV scale black hole
production at the LHC via Hawking radiation with the cross section of top quark
production from Standard Model which were mentioned above.
We also compare the transverse momentum differential cross section $(\frac{d\sigma}{dp_{T}})$
of the top quarks coming from black holes with the transverse momentum
distribution of single top quarks.

\begin{table}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|}\hline
   Process          &  $t$-ch      &  $s$-ch   &  $tW$-ch &  $t\bar{t}$   \\\hline
   Cross section    &  245 pb      &  10 pb    &  60 pb   & 833 pb \\\hline
   Statistical uncertainty ($\frac{\Delta \sigma}{\sigma}$)    &    $2.7\%$             &   $17.6\%$          &   $9.2\%$          &   $0.4\%$ (lepton+jets)\\
   \hline
   \end{tabular}\label{crosssection}
\end{center}\caption{The cross sections and the predicted statistical uncertainties on the cross sections of different top
quark production processes by the CMS detector at the LHC for 10 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity.}
\end{table}

\section{Top Quark Production from a Black Hole Evaporation}
To simulate the production and decay of black holes at the LHC, Charybdis1.003~\cite{CharybdisPapers} package is used.
The program is interfaced, via the Les Houches accord~\cite{LesHouchesAcc}, to HERWIG6.510~\cite{herwig} to perform the parton
shower evolution of the partons produced in the decay and their hadronization. In Charybdis package, there are three options for the
Planck mass definitions:
\begin{itemize}
\item $(2^{(n-2)}\pi^{(n-1)})^\frac{1}{n+2}M_p$
\item $M_p$
\item $(2^{(n-3)}\pi^{(n-1)})^\frac{1}{n+2}M_p$
\end{itemize}
where $n$ is the number of the extra dimensions. In the current study the second definition
is used and the black hole is free to evaporate until $M_{BH}$ falls below
$M_{p}$ then a two body decay is performed. The two particles
are chosen according to the same probabilities used for the rest of the
decay. The cross section is defined as the classical $\pi r^{2}_{h}$, where
$r_{h}$ is the horizon radius. In Charybdis the grey body effects are
fully included. To simplify the problem only non-spinning black holes
are modelled and non-head on collissions are not taken into account. For
more information about the parameters and conventions see \cite{CharybdisPapers}.
As for the proton parton distribution functions (PDF),
MRSD\_\'~\cite{MRSPDF} is used. The $Q^2$ scale taken to be equal to $M_{BH}$, which is within the allowed range for this PDF set,
up to the LHC kinematic limit. The dependency of the cross section on the choice of the PDF is in the level of ~10\%.
Different parameters are set to the default values of the programs unless it is mentioned explicitly.
The default value for top quark mass is 174.3 GeV/$c^2$. For comparison $m_t$ = 170 GeV/$c^2$ was also tried. The largest difference
was seen for $t\bar{t}$ production which was ~10\%.

To study the top quark production from black holes , we only consider the events that have only
one (anti)top or only one pair of $t\bar{t}$.
Events with other combinations of top quarks (same sign top quarks) are rejected from the analysis.
One can study these events by looking for two or more same sign leptons.

    \label{fig:CrossSection}
\end{figure}
shows the distribution of the $\frac{d\sigma}{dM_{BH}} \times BR$ versus the black hole mass for single top (top row) and
$t\bar{t}$ (bottom row) production for different values of the Planck mass and total number of dimensions
(d = 4 + number of the extra dimensions). The ranges of these parameters which have been chosen in figure
\ref{fig:CrossSection} are not excluded by colliders
and cosmic ray searches \cite{BHLimits} yet.
It is seen that the cross section times branching ratio is more sensitive to
Planck mass than the number of the extra dimensions. In particular, for single top changing the number of
extra dimensions doesn't affect the results.
As can be seen from Figure \ref{fig:CrossSection} the cross sections decreases rapidly when
both the Planck scale and black hole mass increase.

If the fundamental Planck mass is~2 TeV and d = 10, the total cross section times branching ratio for single top and $t\bar{t}$
production is respectively 200 pb and 20 pb.
Comparing to the Standard Model predictions for these channels and the accuracy that the experiments can achieve in
the cross section measurements (table \ref{crosssection}) these signals can be distinguished easily from the Standard Model
backgrounds.

\begin{figure}[!Hhtb]\centering
\resizebox{9cm}{!}{\includegraphics[0,0][550,430]{PTTop.eps}}
 \caption{The transverse momentum distribution ($P_T$) of the top quarks from SM single top

    \label{fig:PtSingleTop}
\end{figure}
shows the distribution of the transverse momentum of the top quarks from SM single top
quark (t-channel) and single top quarks from the decay of a
black hole.
The figure only compares the shapes
of the distributions. It is clear that top quarks from the decay of black holes are
much harder than the predicted top quarks in Standard Model. According to Figure \ref{fig:PtSingleTop},
the transverse momentum distribution of
single top quarks from Standard Model has
a mean value of 66.7 GeV while the mean value of the transverse momentum distribution of single top quarks produced
from black holes with a mass of 3 TeV and number
of extra dimensions of 6 is around 456.0 GeV.
This feature can be used to discover the black holes and distinguish the top quarks from different sources.

\section{Conclusion}
The top quark production from the decay of a black hole was considered for different values of the free parameters.
It was shown that if the black holes are produced at the LHC, an unnegligible excess in the number of the
produced top quarks can be seen. If the fundamental Planck mass is very high, the cross section for top
quark production decreases significantly, but the produced top quarks are much harder than those
from the Standard Model, so studying the high transverse momentum top quarks can indicate the presence of the signal.

Costa Concordia: five more bodies found inside the stricken cruise ship
Rescue teams have found five more bodies inside the Italian Costa Concordia stricken cruise ship, raising the confirmed death toll to 11.
According to officials, four men and a woman were found on the ship, which capsized after it hit rocks in Ialy on Friday.
Judges are questioning the ship's captain, Francesco Schettino, who has been blamed for steering the vessel on to the rocks.
Captain Francesco Schettino has been detained on suspicion of manslaughter, but denies any wrongdoing.
He has not yet been formally charged, but prosecutors on Tuesday asked judges to continue his detention.
Rescue teams have found five more bodies inside the Italian Costa Concordia stricken cruise ship, raising the confirmed death toll to 11
A recording of a conversation allegedly between the captain and a port official – recorded shortly after the crash – has emerged which suggests Captain Francesco Schettino left the ship before all passengers had escaped.
In the recording, on the Corriere della Sera's website, Captain Francesco Schettino appears to refuse to go back on to the ship to co-ordinate the rescue effort.
A man who identifies himself as Livorno Port Authority chief Gregorio de Falco can be heard repeatedly telling the captain to get back on board the ship to help the stranded passengers.
"Schettino, maybe you saved yourself from the sea, but I'll make you have trouble for sure. Go aboard," says Gregorio de Falco.
Captain Francesco Schettino is heard replying first that there are rescuers already on board, and then that it is dark and difficult to see.
Shortly after daybreak on Tuesday rescue crews blasted several holes in the ship, now lying on its side metres from Giglio island, in order to gain access to areas they had not yet been able to search.
Hours later, the coast guard announced that more bodies had been found.
It is not clear whether the bodies are crew members or passengers, but the coast guard said they were aged between 50 and 60 and were wearing life vests.
The bodies were found near one of the assembly points where people were told to gather in an emergency.
Before the bodies were discovered, Italian officials said there were 29 people still missing from the vessel.
Teams of specialist divers have been helping with the rescue mission, but they have been hampered by bad weather.
The ship, carrying 4,200 passengers and crew, had its hull ripped open when it hit rocks late on Friday, just hours after leaving the port of Civitavecchia for a week-long Mediterranean cruise.
Some people were forced to swim for shore as the angle of the ship made launching lifeboats impossible.
Infrared footage taken from a helicopter, also released on Tuesday, shows lines of people climbing ropes down the exposed hull of the vessel to reach rescue boats on the water.
Francesco Schettino, 52, has emerged as the central figure in the investigation.
The Costa Concordia's owners, Costa Cruises, have said Captain Francesco Schettino hit the rocks because he deliberately steered the ship towards Giglio Island.
Prosecutors have given more detail, saying the captain wanted to make a close pass of Giglio in order to "salute" a crew member's family who lived there.
On Monday, the shipping newspaper Lloyd's List said it had been able to trace the course of the Costa Concordia though information from satellites.
Lloyd's List issued a graphic comparing Friday's sailing with an earlier sailing by the vessel, suggesting that Friday's route had deviated far from its usual course.

For more people to enjoy their longer lives, we need some big changes in our society. Our ambition is to transform later lives across England by taking action on interconnected and enduring societal issues that will make the most difference.
We are blessed to have secure funding that allows us to commit the next ten years to achieving the greatest possible impact on people's lives.
By 2040, we want more people in later life to be in good health, financially secure, to have social connections and feel their lives are meaningful and purposeful. We know that people who experience all or some of these have happier later lives. We will measure and track progress on these aims to be sure that actions are making a real difference to people's lives.
Sadly, today too many people are missing out on a good later life. We believe poverty, preventable ill health and disability, loneliness and feeling undervalued must not be inevitably associated with later life. We must act today to secure a better future for present and future generations.
The gap in disability-free life expectancy between richest and poorest reduces (from a difference of 15 percentage points in the UK in 2014-2016).
The proportion of people aged 65 and over who say they lack companionship often or some of the time reduces (which was one third of people aged 65 and over in England in 2015-2017).
The proportion of pensioners in relative low income after housing costs declines (16% in 2016-2017).
The proportion of people aged 65 and over who feel the things they do are worthwhile increases (between 30% and 46% of people rated this as very high (9-10 out of 10) in the UK in 2015-2016).
Live in communities where social relationships flourish, making it easier to build and maintain close connections as well as wider everyday contact.
Our priorities are what people say matters most to the quality of their lives. They are also where we believe we can make significant and long-lasting changes by sticking with them over time.
Finally, and crucially, our priority goals are interconnected in the real world of people's experience – we know that one of them alone can't achieve the impact we need and that progress on one leads to improvement in the others.
Employment among people aged 50 and above has been rising steadily since the mid-1990s. Despite this, employment rates still fall off rapidly from the age of 55 onwards.
By the year before people reach State Pension age, over half have already stopped working. While for many this is a positive choice, it's estimated that there are 1 million people in the UK aged 50-64 who want to be working but are not.
Supporting people to be in good quality work for as long they want to is critical for their financial security now and into the future, as well as a vital opportunity to help them manage their health and improve wellbeing.
Our goal is 1 million more people aged 50-69 in fulfilling work by 2022.
Improving support for people seeking to return to work.
The homes we live in are central to a good later life. Safe, good quality homes that meet our needs can maintain or improve our physical and mental health, wellbeing and social connections. Affordable housing is also essential to people's financial security.
Our existing housing stock is among the oldest in Europe with some of the highest associated health and care costs. It is estimated that unsuitable housing costs the NHS £624 million for first year treatment costs, largely due to hazards and falls. Multiple local planning constraints mean that far too few new homes are being built to the standards of accessibility and adaptability needed for an ageing population. We need urgent action to improve the quality of the housing we have and make sure that new housing is future proofed for all generations.
Making information and advice more easily available to help people approaching later life make good housing choices.
Our health as we age is fundamental to our quality of life, allowing us to remain independent, to work or be involved in our local community, to maintain social connections and family life and other things that give us meaning and purpose.
Health is a main reason for leaving work early. There are great opportunities to support healthy ageing so that more people are able to keep well, actively contributing to society and reducing the need for medical and social care.
We know that whether we smoke, how much we drink, our weight, our diet and exercise levels all have a real effect on our health. The cumulative impact can make a big difference to health in later life. And yet all of these health behaviours are amenable to change in mid-life.
Effective interventions to influence individuals to adopt healthy behaviours.
Relationships are what matter most to us all in the end. We rely on people close to us when in later life we experience ill health, disability or bereavement. Everyday social connections matter too: we know many people in later life feel isolated, without a sense of belonging to their community.
As we approach later life we need opportunities to build strong and supportive relationships across generations and to live in communities that make it easier to stay active and connected as we age.
Our communities make a big difference to the quality of our later lives, supporting social connections, promoting healthy activity and making us feel valued.
Provide opportunities for people to get involved in their community.
By 2030, we want to see an increase in the proportion of people aged 50 and over who report they feel they strongly belongto their neighbourhood.
Removing barriers to participation and creating opportunities for people to do the things they enjoy and matter to them.
To achieve real and significant impact, Ageing Better will focus on where we can make the biggest difference. We know that what we do before we are old greatly affects our prospects for a good later life. That's why our focus will be on those approaching later life, a life stage between mid-life and later life (approximately aged 50-70).
In 2016 there were 13.2 million people aged between 50-69, equivalent to almost a quarter of the entire population.
Our commitment to long-term and lasting change means some results may take a generation to deliver. This in turn demands a focus on the future and the emerging trends that will affect how future generations experience later life, for example driverless cars and automation of work.
But right now there are shocking inequalities, both within and between generations. The gap is growing wider between those well placed to enjoy their later lives and those approaching later life who are at risk of missing out on a longer, happier life.
Little time for friends and social activities, squeezed by the pressures of work, family and caring responsibilities .
While we will work to improve later life for everyone, we will focus particularly on those at risk of not enjoying their later lives.
Why focus on those approaching later life and at risk?
Millions of people risk missing out on a good later life.
The proportion of people aged 60-69 who said that they did not enjoy life much of the time during the previous week was twice as high (11%) for those who had manual jobs as for those in professional roles (5%).
In Manchester, a man aged 65 can expect to have around 6 more healthy years. In Surrey, men aged 65 enjoy over 13 healthy years of life.
The difference between richest and poorest in the prevalence of chronic conditions such as heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, respiratory illness, arthritis and depression has been increasing year on year over the last decade.
Already aged 50-54, 17% of men and 23% of women have a limiting long standing illness and 6% of men and 8% of women aged 50-54 report difficulty with one or more activities of daily living.
An estimated 1 million people aged between 50 and 64 are involuntarily out of work.
By the time people reach State Pension age, nearly half are economically inactive.
Over a third of women and about a fifth of men aged 55-64 in the UK have no private pension savings at all. 17% of pensioners are below 60% of median income before housing costs.
One in five homes occupied by older people in England failed the Decent Homes Standard in 2014.
While 73% of people aged 65 and over own their homes outright, 16.5% are social renters. The number of private renters aged 65 and over increased from 254,000 to 414,000 between 2006-2007 and 2016-2017. By 2040 a third of people over 60 could be renting privately.
People aged 45-54 are the most likely to feel lonely of all age groups (15% in 2011-2012) and the least likely to socialise, with half reporting that they meet socially with family, friends or colleagues less than once a week (2012-2013).
We will convene others to leverage power, influence and resources.
Over our first two years, we have built a respected brand with strong partnerships . We will build on this foundation to expand the range of partners we work with and act as a catalyst for change, stimulating others to act and build coalitions of support for the changes we want to see. We will convene others to leverage power, influence and resources.
We have influenced national policy to address the challenges of an ageing population. We will continue our work with government to inform policy with evidence and analysis. We will campaign to achieve specific legislative and policy changes, for example by calling for rights for working carers.
Our strategy is to influence nationally and deliver locally. Through our partnerships in Greater Manchester and Leeds, we are demonstrating the benefits of a joined-up approach to the opportunities of longer lives.
We will continue to work in places to test innovative, interconnected approaches and do more to promote widespread uptake of these across the country by growing the UK Network of Age-friendly Communities.
Working closely with the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund, we will stimulate markets and the private sector to innovate and develop more inclusive products and services.
Ambitious change demands concerted action; no single approach will achieve the results we need to see, and no single organisation can achieve this change on its own. Big ambitions to find better solutions to the interconnected issues we face, driven forward with renewed energy and focus on what works, will be the route to transform later lives for generations to come.
We believe we have a duty to push for action with a bolder voice and sharper focus. We have built a solid platform from which to be more ambitious about what is possible. We are determined that our knowledge will lead to results and believe that we have an important part to play.
But we can only achieve long-term changes in our society by working in partnership with the support and resources of others. We welcome the Government's mission to ensure that people can enjoy five extra healthy, independent years of life by 2035, while narrowing the gap between the richest and poorest. This presents an exciting opportunity for government to galvanise action by others, including the private sector, as well as taking action itself. We look forward to being an active partner in delivering on this ambitious goal over the next ten years.
We have developed our strategy in collaboration with our partners.
We will engage a diverse range of organisations to build wider support for our vision and to develop new partnerships.
We want everyone to have a better later life. If we work together we can achieve it.
We need to act now to transform later lives.

"Yes, well, a deep well to the ground. These 'primitive ghouls' came from there. What we have to do is expel these 'primitive ghouls' back to the well."
There were at least thousands of 'primitive ghouls' in the underground city. Don't talk about fighting with these ghouls. Now, as long as their position was exposed, the two will absolutely die.
Su Xiao put on Arima Kisho's shoulder and turned to leave. The decisive att.i.tude made Arima Kisho somewhat shocked.
Arima Kisho talked slowly with no threat as if he was testing something.
Su Xiao's answer made Arima Kisho eyes close, some different brilliance appeared in his eyes.
Su Xiao's footsteps stopped and looked at Arima Kisho. Arima Kisho was somewhat abnormal today, but he did not detect where was the difference. It was just an intuition.
"Do you think the ghouls here were normal? Most Investigators will never see the primitive ghouls.
If I'm right, your mission is to reinforce me. The general directorate will arrange one or two special Investigators for you. Is it Kuroiwa Iwao? Anura Kiyoko? Or maybe Marude Itsuki, others were not possible."
Arima Kisho was in the deep area of the 24th district for a long period. He had a few calls with Su Xiao. Later, because there was no signal underground, he lost contact with the outside. He surprisingly guessed the special Investigator sent by the general directorate to the 24th district. Su Xiao never believed it.
Su Xiao stared at Arima Kisho, who was thinking about whether Arima Kisho was credible.
In the original novel, Arima Kisho kept listening to everything that Washuu Matsuri said, it seemed that Arima Kisho was like a puppet.
But now it seemed that Arima Kisho will never be the 'gun' in others' hands. He should know a lot about the secrets of CCG. If he is not obedient, he will be killed.
Arima Kis...o...b..eathed deeply, he was judging Su Xiao previously.
The simple two words revealed too much information.
Su Xiao did not know whether Arima Kisho was credible or not. He was testing.
In addition to the occasional low-roaring by 'primitive ghouls', there was dead silence.
The att.i.tude that Arima Kisho just showed was almost a kind of concealed entanglement. After Su Xiao said, 'If we cooperate', then Arima Kisho did not show anger or loyalty to CCG. Instead, he clearly answered Su Xiao's question.
Neither of them knew whether each other was credible, they could only test each other inadvertently.
There was a point that Arima Kisho just mentioned. Su Xiao believed that it was still more credible, that was, if he does not complete the order by the general directorate, he will be in danger if he returns to the ground.
Su Xiao knew more and more about CCG, and his strength was outstanding. CCG may want to train him into a second 'Arima Kisho', an 'obedient gun'.
Arima Kisho's att.i.tude towards CCG was false compliance, this guy may be planning something.
Su Xiao sighed, he only watched the two seasons of Tokyo Ghoul, he did not read the subsequent Manga, most of the information he understood of the world was from some sentences in the forum.
This made him secretly decide that after he returned to the real world, he must make up for it.
It was not for entertainment, but for intelligence.
Arima Kisho took the Quinque box, he rarely smiled, seemed to figure out something.
Arima Kisho described his plan in detail. It was very simple, that was to use fresh flesh and blood as a bait to attract the primitive ghouls around.
The crisis of trust was temporarily ended, new problems arose, where could they find fresh flesh and blood.
Su Xiao looked at primitive ghouls around, only a few, as long as they are cautious, they will not be discovered.
Su Xiao found that Arima Kisho was lying on the roof.
"Cough, dehydration and hunger, I am a little exhausted, temporarily resting here.
let's leave this first, let's look for the 'bait'. "
Arima Kisho was a bit embarra.s.sed, after all, it was a shame to starve to death.
Cautiously avoiding the primitive ghouls, both of them were extraordinary. If it comes to the ability of hiding, Su Xiao was better than Arima Kisho.
Jumping on the roof of the steel building, Su Xiao arrived at the entrance of the underground city shortly after.
Su Xiao was making a gesture to ask Juzo Suzuya and Mado Akira standby, after that Su Xiao and Arima Kisho entered the channel.
As a bait by fresh, it had to look for in the underground pa.s.sage.
After entering the channel, Su Xiao was relieved. It seemed to turn on the silent mode, they had to whisper previously softly.
Arima Kisho shook his head.
It seemed that Arima Kisho knew a lot about the underground city in the 24th district.
Understanding Su Xiao's doubts, Arima Kisho continued to say.
"The central city is this underground city. It is the largest gathering place of ghouls in Tokyo. Most of the ghouls live here, just like humans live on the ground.
Arima Kisho revealed a secret which was the 24th district in Tokyo was a city where ghouls live.
Human lived on the ground in Tokyo, and they lived in the underground of Tokyo. It seemed that a certain balance had been reached. Only CCG could maintain this order.
In Su Xiao's view, this order was somewhat distorted. Human and ghouls were deadly enemies and could not coexist. CCG surprisingly allowed the two sides to coexist together. Why?
Su Xiao could now confirm one thing, that was, CCG's existence was not to protect human, or the facts were far more terrible than imaginations.

Q: Change UITextView text color with animation Just a simple question.
Is it possible to change the text color of UITextView with a animation?
[UITextView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UITextView setAnimationDuration:2.0];
     textView.textColor = [UIColor grayColor];
[UITextView commitAnimations];

Cheers!
- Martin

A: The textColor is not an animatable property, so I don't think this will be feasible with the UITextView.

A: As Martin Cote said textColor is not an animatable property.
I solved this with a change to the UItextView transparency instead.
[UITextView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UITextView setAnimationDuration:2.0];
     textView.alpha = 0.5f;
[UITextView commitAnimations];

Thanks for your time.
/ martin

A: Since iOS 4.0 you can now achieve this using [UIView transitionWithView:duration:options:animations:completion:]
[UIView transitionWithView:textView
                  duration:0.5f
                   options:UIViewAnimationOptionTransitionCrossDissolve
                animations:^{
                    textView.textColor = ...
                }
                completion:nil];

Paul De Villiers is a sound engineer and record producer whose credits include Mr. Mister's best-selling 1985 album Welcome to the Real World and Yes's 1987 album Big Generator, which reached number 15 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

Career
De Villiers' first appearance on a charting album was as a sound engineer for Yes's 1985 live album 9012Live: The Solos, which reached number 81 on the Billboard 200.
Also in 1985, Mr. Mister's Welcome to the Real World was released, on which De Villiers received a co-producer credit. Welcome to the Real World topped the Billboard 200 chart, and spawned the hit singles "Broken Wings" (No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks in 1985), "Kyrie" (No. 1 on the Hot 100 for two weeks in 1986), and "Is It Love" (No. 8 on the Hot 100.)

English women attract record crowd but lose to Germany
Associated PressNov 9, 2019, 4:54 PM EST
LONDON — A record crowd of 77,768 for English women's soccer saw fresh struggles for Phil Neville's side in a 2-1 loss to Germany at Wembley Stadium on Saturday.
England has now lost five of its last seven games, starting with the World Cup semifinal loss to the United States in July.
"I'm really sorry we couldn't get the result," England forward Ellen White addressed fans on the field.
White did turn things around for England just before halftime, canceling out Alexandra Popp's ninth-minute header.
But just when the Lionesses were preparing to celebrate claiming a draw against the world's second-ranked team, Klara Buhl struck in stoppage time.
As the rain fell in north London, there won't have seemed much to celebrate for the hosts.
But the English attracted what appears to be the biggest-ever crowd for a women's friendly, anywhere.
The previous best-attended women's game was in 1999 when more than 90,000 watched the U.S. beat China in the World Cup final at the Rose Bowl in California.
The next biggest crowd came at Wembley in the 2012 London Olympics when just over 80,000 saw the U.S. beat Japan.
The increased interest in the Lionesses is highlighted by the fact Wembley has added around 30,000 fans to the attendance that saw England lose to Germany at the stadium five years ago.

Phil Neville plays down USWNT reports
By Joe Prince-WrightSep 4, 2019, 11:33 AM EDT
A report from the UK had suggested that Phil Neville was in the running to become the next USWNT head coach, but the England women's boss has poured cold water on the links.
Speaking after England lost 2-1 at Norway in a friendly on Tuesday, Neville said he was happy being in charge of the Lionesses as he is also due to take charge of Team GB at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics next summer.
"There's been no approach," Neville said. "My focus is on winning us a gold medal in the Olympics. It's flattering because it means you're doing a good job. My focus is England. I love this job."
The former Manchester United and England defender then went on to reaffirm his commitment to England and the Football Association, as he was named as one of the three finalists for the coach of the year in the women's game by FIFA last week.
"I've been linked with a number of jobs since becoming England manager and that's because my players have been so good," Neville said. "I've said before, I love the job I am doing, it's a tremendous challenge. The players are heading in the right direction and I get backed unbelievably by the FA. So I am 100 per cent happy."
With 18 months under his belt as head coach of England, he led his squad to the World Cup semifinal where they lost 2-1 to eventual champions the U.S. but the jury is still out as the Lionesses were expected to at least reach the final four in France this summer.
It isn't clear how serious of a contender Neville ever was for the USWNT job.
With Jill Ellis stepping down as head coach in October after delivering back-to-back World Cup victories, the USWNT are searching for their next manager with NWSL coaches Paul Riley, Laura Harvey and Vlatko Andonovski all leading candidates.
New USWNT GM Kate Markgraf will be narrowing down the search in the next few weeks and given Neville's relative inexperience as a coach, it would be incredibly surprising to see him interviewed for this position.
The initial report stated that Ellis is a big fan of Neville and she would have a big say in appointing her successor, but it would still be a huge shock if Neville landed the biggest job in the women's game.

Stanway scores stunner but England women fall to Norway
By Kyle BonnSep 3, 2019, 2:11 PM EDT
The England women's national team took an early lead on an absolutely fabulous strike from Manchester City forward Georgia Stanway, but capitulated as Norway came from behind to beat Phil Neville's squad 2-1 in the team's second international friendly since the World Cup.
The result comes just days after the squad coughed up a 2-0 lead to Belgium in an eventual 3-3 draw.
Stanway will still receive headlines for her stunning effort from well outside the penalty area struck with power and pace that found the top corner off the underside of the bar. Norwegian goalkeeper Ingrid Hjelmseth gave the effort a go but had no chance at stopping the strike as it curled away from her dive.
Oh wow. WHAT a goal. The build-up, the finish. @StanwayGeorgia, take a bow 👏 pic.twitter.com/enek5ngIIO
— Lionesses (@Lionesses) September 3, 2019
Norway's comeback started just after halftime as Frida Maanum headed home off a corner in the 53rd minute, and Barcelona winger Caroline Graham Hansen scored a fantastic solo goal through a Steph Houghton challenge in the 89th minute for a dramatic winner.
Neville has work to do after the two straight collapses as he gets his squad together in the aftermath of a fourth-place finish at the World Cup this past summer. England topped Norway 3-0 in the quarterfinal of that run, leaving an even more sour taste in the Lionesses mouths after today's defeat.
The loss comes a day after reports in England claimed Neville was a candidate for the vacant U.S. women's coaching job, but those reports were very quickly shot down by the U.S. media.

USWNT, England set for World Cup semi showdown
Photo by Frederick Breedon/Getty Images
Planning ahead or arrogance? That's the question being overblown asked of the United States women's national team following England coach Phil Neville's revelation that USWNT operations people were given a tour of England's team hotel.
As the "home team," England has the better of the lodging for the semifinal, and the USWNT hopes to be taking its place for Sunday's Final against either the Netherlands or Sweden.
[ MORE: Will Ellis change XI? ]
So is showing up early presumptuous or just proper preparation?
"I just thought, 'What are they doing?'" Neville said of the Americans. "It's not etiquette, really. It's not something I would allow from our organization."
What he will allow is what both teams provide, and that's excellent team soccer. Tuesday's match has the chance to be a wide-open entertaining match as two tough back lines hope to defy some of the best attackers in the world.
England has only allowed one goal in the tournament, a late concession in its 2-1 tournament-opening defeat of Scotland. That means the Lionesses count shutouts of Norway and Japan on their resume, and that's pretty impressive.
Meanwhile the U.S. is coming off some tepid offensive performances, at least by their standards. The Yanks passed at just 64 percent in the 2-1 defeat of France, and their 2-1 defeat of Spain came courtesy of a pair of penalty kicks.
Fortunately for Jill Ellis' crew, goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher was much better in the latter of the 2-1 wins. The 31-year-old was mostly untested and shaky in the run-up to France, but outstanding in holding onto the lead.
England has become a force on the international scene, and is in its second-straight World Cup semifinal. They won the SheBelievesCup, and finished in the semifinals at EURO 2017.
Ellen White has been a handful for teams, scoring five times in four matches. She also scored the lone goal in a 1-0 defeat of the USMNT at the 2017 SheBelieves Cup.
There's every reason to believe it'll be a beauty at 3 p.m. ET Tuesday. You'll be able to stream it live on Telemundo Deportes.

LYON, France (AP) Preparing for the Women's World Cup semifinal against the United States, coach Phil Neville was irritated to discover the Americans scoping out England's hotel.

U.S. coach Jill Ellis insisted it was a sign of good preparation rather than arrogance, but Neville suggested it could be a disciplinary matter for the staff dispatched to the hotel and bad etiquette.
As the designated home team, England had first choice of hotels and so will the winner of Tuesday's semifinal as they prepare for the final, which is also being played in Lyon.
A pair of U.S. staffers visited the Fourviere Hotel, which is close to the old town, while England was out at a practice session Sunday.
"I think that's important to do your job," Ellis said. "So in terms of arrogance I think that's got nothing to do with us. That's planning and preparation for our staff. So I think that's pretty normal."
Not so, according to Neville. He thinks Ellis should have been far tougher.
"We were training, I hope they enjoyed the hotel but it's not something we would do — sending someone round to another team's hotel," Neville said. "But it's their problem. I am sure that Jill probably wouldn't have been happy with that arrangement. I wouldn't have been if that was my team ops person going round.
"I am sure they will be dealing with their own infrastructure within their own discipline problem."

Based on information provided by FIFA to the media, the Americans are currently staying at the less luxurious Residence Lyon Metropole, which is in the north of Lyon.
The Fourviere Hotel is west of the city close to an ancient Roman amphitheater, on the site of a 19th century convent, with the reception in the old chapel under gold-trimmed artwork.
The planning for the final hotel is the latest indication of self-assuredness from a team that saw U.S. defender Ali Krieger say it is the world's best team as well as the world's "second-best."
"It's important that our team has confidence," Ellis said. "I don't think in any way this is an arrogant team. I think this team knows that they've got to earn everything, that we've got tough opponents … still ahead of us and we have to earn every right to advance in this tournament."
