Open Industry 4.0 Alliance: An Open Ecosystem for the Digital Transformation of Industrial Manufacturing Plants
April 2, 2019 by SAP News
HANNOVER, Germany — At Hannover Messe 2019, European companies from the mechanical engineering, industrial automation and software industries are driving the foundation of the Open Industry 4.0 Alliance with a cooperation agreement.
Founding members include Beckhoff, Endress+Hauser Group, Hilscher, ifm, KUKA, MULTIVAC and SAP SE (NYSE: SAP). The alliance is open to all companies; other members include Balluff Group, Gebhardt Fördertechnik, Pepperl+Fuchs, ARVOS GmbH | SCHMIDTSCHE SCHACK, SAMSON and WIKA Alexander Wiegand.
Founders and members endorse an open ecosystem and commit to using an Open Industry 4.0 Alliance Framework to achieve interoperability
The open and interoperable approach provides attractive opportunities for companies of all sizes
The Open Industry 4.0 Alliance aims for 80 percent of the machines in a smart factory to speak the same language
Members of the alliance are committed to creating a standardized and open ecosystem for operating highly automated factories and plants, including logistics and services. The alliance is working to avoid proprietary stand-alone solutions to better enable digital transformation in European industry. The companies plan to work with future members to create what is known as an Open Industry 4.0 Framework on the basis of existing standards such as IO-Link, OPC UA and RAMI.
Focus on Feasibility and Benefits
Operations in factories, plants and logistics centers in midmarket and large enterprises are characterized by heterogeneity — with things of many different classes, from many different manufacturers. Proprietary and varying standards in connectivity, data management, IT security and collaboration create additional effort and impede the rapid and comprehensive scaling of Industry 4.0. The founders and members of the Open Industry 4.0 Alliance pledged to provide customers with an open, standards-based, and compatible offering for a product's entire journey — from the object on the factory floor to service.
Customers can select what they need from a set of modular, compatible and scalable solution and service components. In each case, these build on the core competencies of the founders and members of the alliance and represent a low-risk, manufacturer-independent option from existing and known suppliers in the discrete manufacturing and process engineering industries. The connection to SAP solutions helps ensure that business processes such as manufacturing execution, warehouse management or plant maintenance are collaborative across company boundaries with partner companies.
Open and Interoperable Solution
The open, standards-based offering of the Open Industry 4.0 Alliance includes four modules — Device Connectivity, Edge, Operator Cloud, and Cloud Central — plus an associated service offering. Device Connectivity establishes the connection to the machines and sensors. Edge is the central node for all the important and locally necessary functions in the factory. Operator Cloud is the central node in the customer's company that an open layer and supports all enterprise-centric functions and applications. Finally, Cloud Central enables the bidirectional exchange of data between companies, such as master data and measurement data from calibrations, as well as information including technical documentation and repair manuals.
The first proofs of concept were completed in 2018, with adaptable and flexible matrix production at KUKA. The aim is to produce additional proofs of concept from members and their customers by mid-2019. The founding members are preparing their first results for the second half of 2019.
What the Project Partners Say
Florian Hermle, Managing Director, Balluff Group: "We want to afford our customers openness and the greatest possible compatibility with our systems, because we are convinced that going it alone in a digital and highly connected world is doomed to failure in the long term. That is why we put our trust in an open ecosystem comprising technology, software and partners, which enables us to support our customers with our innovative integrated solutions on the path to the smart factory. We are therefore pleased to be part of the Open Industry 4.0 Alliance."
Gerd Hoppe, Corporate Management, Beckhoff: "As an automation provider of open control technology, Beckhoff welcomes the alliance's initiative to design and propagate an open infrastructure for operators of cloud technologies in the capital goods sector. It makes managing the entire lifecycle of systems and plants significantly easier for operators in the process industries, production technology and logistics."
Matthias Altendorf, CEO, Endress+Hauser Group: "The open architecture of the Open Industry 4.0 Alliance meets all the requirements of the process industry. It is built on standards, ensures transparency across all business processes and guarantees the integrity of systems. With it, operators of process engineering plants can leverage the potential of Industry 4.0."
Marco Gebhardt, CEO, Gebhardt Fördertechnik: "Right from the start, we designed our product GEBHARDT Galileo IoT Cloud to be open. Within the framework of the Open Industry 4.0 Alliance, we are now taking the next step toward compatibility at a much higher level. This benefits our customers: they can digitalize their automatic warehouse systems fast and easily, downtimes are avoided, and productivity and availability increase."
Hans-Jürgen Hilscher, Managing Director, Hilscher: "Our customers want to put Industry 4.0 and all that it promises into practice. In the light of this, they are entitled to expect an open approach from us. For example, our solutions must be able to process several fieldbus technology standards."
Dr. Thomas May, Managing Director, ifm Corporate Group: "Our customers demand open and compatible collaboration, where every company can contribute and demonstrate their own strengths. The Open Industry 4.0 Alliance is the answer to these demands!"
Reinhold Stammeier, Chief Digital Officer, KUKA: "There are many stand-alone solutions on the market. However, customers demand end-to-end connectivity on the shop floor and a secure connection from the machine to the cloud. They demand more than a technical solution. More added value can only come from a common approach for semantic data models and data exchange between operators and manufacturers."
Christian Traumann, Executive Director and Group CFO, MULTIVAC: "With cloud-connected machines, we can offer our customers not only more intelligent machines but also better service. Through our involvement in the Open Industry 4.0 Alliance, we ensure that MULTIVAC solutions in the Industry 4.0 environment are designed to be sustainable and compatible with common market standards."
Dr. Jörg Nagel, Director Technology and Operations, Neoception, a subsidiary of Pepperl+Fuchs: "The Open Industry 4.0 Alliance is an important step toward realizing new data-based business models by means of a standardized architecture for communication from the shop floor to the cloud, and thereby guaranteeing the data sovereignty of the operators of industrial assets."
Dr. Thorsten Pötter, Chief Digital Officer, SAMSON: "We see the Open Alliance as an important way to achieve added value for our customers through digitalization. SAM DIGITAL, the digital portfolio from SAMSON, is designed to harmonize optimally with the services of the Open Industry 4.0 Alliance. With its balanced understanding of architecture's openness and security and the resulting solutions, the seamless integration of SAMSON Asset Management solutions is one of the next logical steps for us."
Hala Zeine, President, Digital Supply Chain and Manufacturing, SAP: "Members from the mechanical engineering industries, industrial process automation and software profit from the mutual pledge of all the alliance members to take action. This means all members can develop and offer their relevant and compatible solution and service portfolios. The key takeaway is that the combined customers of the alliance will benefit by having relevant data across their assets, as well as compatible solutions for greater equipment efficiency to help them achieve their digitalization goals faster."
Karsten Stückrath, President, ARVOS GmbH I SCHMIDTSCHE SCHACK: "The complexity of Industry 4.0 technologies demands new approaches to solving a problem. Isolated products will not prevail in the long run, customers want to have standardized solutions. Thus the Open Industry 4.0 Alliance offers an ideal platform to generate true added value for our customers."
Axel Kaltofen, Executive Vice President, Industrial Instrumentation, WIKA Alexander Wiegand: "From the customer's standpoint, the standardization of different interfaces is the basis for effectively realizing new business models and achieving enhanced process optimization. For WIKA, the Open Industry 4.0 Alliance is the right step toward standardized interfaces for cross-industry networks of data and processes through the digitalization of software and hardware assets."

I'm using codemirror to create code snippets.  I'm having two issues.  The first is that javascript isn't being colored properly.  I've included all the dependencies (xml, css and js).  The second is that when I hover over the , scrolling causes the snippet to move slightly up or down.  It isn't quite scrolling, just wiggling.  See image for more details.
All help would be greatly appreciated.

The menhaden industry is poorly regulated in Louisiana where it is more regulated in the adjoining states.
A menhaden fishing boat overwhelmed by an unexpectedly big catch let loose a massive raft of dead fish off the coast of southwest Louisiana last week, sparking outrage from conservation groups and renewed calls for tougher rules governing the state's largest but least-regulated fishery. Omega Protein estimates it lost about 900,000 menhaden when one of its crews cut free a bulging net less than a mile from Holly Beach in Cameron Parish on September 8. Dead fish formed a rotting mass over the weekend, drawing complaints from several charter boat captains, which target the redfish and other species that depend on menhaden for food. "It's hard not to be disgusted when you see that," said Chris Macaluso, marine fisheries director for the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership. "It seems excessively wasteful to catch that much fish, and it's just left there. There should be some sort of penalty."
The Department of Wildlife and Fisheries is not concerned.
The incident elicited shrugs from the state Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. Jason Adriance, one of the agency's fisheries managers, said only about 2% of the Gulf of Mexico's menhaden stock is fished each year, so Omega Protein's mishap doesn't matter much. "A couple million extra is insignificant," Adriance said. Also called pogy and fatback, menhaden are by far the state's largest fishery, generating between 600 million and 900 million pounds for the two foreign-owned menhaden fishing companies that operate in Louisiana. Most of the dollar bill-sized fish are ground up into fertilizer, pet food and fish oil supplements.
Menhaden are in the food chain of many fish and the fishing methods catch many other species of fish.
Menhaden are part of the foundation of the marine food web, providing a fat-rich energy source for marine mammals, fish and birds. Conservation and recreational fishing groups are concerned that the largely unchecked fishery is taking food from other species like speckled trout and dolphins, which have suffered population declines in recent years. They note that all other Gulf states either prohibit menhaden fishing or have such strict rules that the industry now focuses entirely on Louisiana waters. Menhaden nets often catch more than menhaden, making the lost net an ecological concern, said Ben Graham, chairman of Wildlife and Fisheries' Finfish Task Force, which has been critical of the agency's menhaden policies. "Lots of other fish try to catch menhaden and get caught in these nets," Graham said. "So we have this net out there doing a constant cycle of killing."
A charter boat found the net but it appears to be lost now as it can't be found.
A charter boat captain found the 1,500-foot-long net and reported it but search crews sent by Omega and Wildlife and Fisheries haven't been able to locate it. The menhaden fishing boat was a victim of its own success, said Omega spokesman Ben Landry. "We've been experiencing some really, really big schools down in southwest Louisiana," he said. "The captain thought he brought back 500,000 pounds. Turns out it was a lot more than that. "The net was so overloaded that a larger "mothership" could not safely get the fish aboard. The captain ordered the net cut free just before it ripped open and drifted away. "He knew he'd lose the net because it had gotten too heavy," Landry said. "Then the weight of the fish ripped the net." Having to cut a net is rare, but large net tears happen two to three times a year, Landry said. Much of the catch appears to have died while caught in the net. Anglers spotted a large amount of bycatch, including redfish, floating belly up amid the the menhaden. Photos of the dead fish began making the rounds with recreational fishing groups this week. "We must continue to shine a light on this industry and the damage being caused to our fisheries, our coastal wildlife, and our critical habitats," the Coastal Conservation Association of Louisiana wrote in an email to members on Wednesday.
Menhaden restrictions just came in recently and before there were few.
Louisiana's first substantial restrictions on the fishery went into effect this summer. Menhaden vessels must stay a quarter mile from much of the coast, with larger buffers around Elmer's Island, Grand Isle, and Grand Terre Island. But, as conservation groups note, the rules fall far short of other Gulf states. A bill that would have placed the state's first catch limits on menhaden was blocked by a state Senate committee in May. The industry's backers say a catch limit could kill the industry and cost Louisiana several hundred jobs. But the economic benefits have come at a price. Plaquemines health officials and environmental groups have been raising alarms about Daybrook Fisheries' menhaden processing plant in Empire for decades. The plant's own safety manager filed a lawsuit in March alleging that the plant willfully spews large amounts of fish waste into the Mississippi River and other nearby waterways, and has resisted taking basic precautions to avoid spills. Omega's Abbeville plant has been the source of odor complaints from towns more than 20 miles away. Among its environmental violations was a $1 million fine in 2017 for twice dumping large volumes of polluted water into the Vermilion River. In 2019, Omega agreed to pay $1 million to resolve allegations that the company obtained a government loan by falsely certifying compliance with clean water laws.
This event was unfortunate.
Landry said last week's dumping of nearly a million fish was "an unfortunate situation" the company hopes to avoid repeating. "We take this seriously, and we'll look at our procedures," he said. "But with a population in the hundreds of billions, losing this number of fish is not anything to give people a fear that there's a problem with the stock."
With few restrictions the industry can act with impunity.

Life story writer Amy Woods Butler found her true calling in 2010 when she discovered she could make a living asking people about their lives as a personal historian. She has written about Latin Americans, Midwest grandmothers, and Southern gentlemen. She has listened to tales of a Cherokee state trooper, a refugee from Hurricane Katrina, and a woman who, at age 90, continues to fight social injustice in Kansas City.
At 22, Amy's instincts led her to jot down some of the facts about her Grandma Mildred's life. It wasn't until two decades later that she understood the desire to have a full recording of a loved one's life story—and the regret at realizing this too late. With that, her career as a life story writer was born. She founded The Story Scribe because she wants to hear your story. More importantly, she wants others to hear it, too.
In addition to her work recording the life stories of her clients, Amy has published interviews, essays and reviews in a number of publications, including the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Kansas City Star and the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
She also created a resource for other life story professionals, The Life Story Coach Podcast and the The Life Story Coach website.

conducted at the purchaser's place of business.
As used in (c) of this section, "personally" means in person or by telephone.


Several years ago, I purchased two Datsun 510 race cars. I purchased Harry Stewart's B sedan 510 and Pat Crumm's 510. My intent was to restore one or both cars to their former glory. Pat's car had raced and the runnoffs and had several track records throughout Southern California.
Harry's car had history back to 1972 as a B sedan car and was in amazing shape for a race car of it's age. Ultimately I decided to go with Harry's car as it was better documented and had a better paint scheme.
Pat's car was sold to Les Cannaday, who in turn sold it to Bill Pritchard. Bill had Les build Pat's car into a copy of Bill's old 510 race car and today it is a fine example of a beautiful Vintage 510.
Harry's 510 started out as a autocross car and qucikly became more interested in road racing. Shortly thereafter he modified this 510 to go road racing with the addition of a roll cage and fuel cell.
His 510 was first raced at the Rose Cup in 1972 by Robert Thulander who worked for Harrry Stewart. Robert delivered cars and had a competition license, and was more than happy to volunteer and race this 510.
The car had never been to tech, and didn't even have a log book but not knowing any better Harry towed the car to portland and somehow talked his way into the race. On race day there was weather, raining on and off, making the choice of tires a real challenge. Just before the race started Harry's team realized that the throttle was sticking and although the sun came out and dried the track, Harry's car was still on their rain tires. Most teams switched to dry tires. Just as the race started it downpoured again.
Robert who started pretty far back in the field because of a lack of qualifying effort finished ahead of everyone but the class winner. He even finished ahead of Walt Mass in the FAR Performance Z who started with two wets and two dries, and had to stop for all rain tires.
After such a strong showing, Robert was sponsored by Vallejo Datsun in a 1200 and Harry decided to race his own car.
Harry went to drivers school in early 1973 at Sears Point and his first race was at Laguna Seca. He finished third in class. Harry's second race was at Laguna Seca and he got his first checkered flag in May of 1973.
After the May Laguna races Harry and his team decided to make his car go faster, This was accomplished with a modified SSS head sent to Air Flow Research, twin 44mm Solex carbs, forged pistons, Carrillo rods and a factory counterweighted crank. At or around this time Harry employed Clyde Kissell. Clyde was from Colorado, and after WWII he worked on a number of race cars in the midwest. Moving to Southern California found Clyde working for a number of race teams before he relocated to Grass Valley CA. Harry credits Clyde with the cam oiler idea (spray bar), of which is still employed on Datsun 510 race cars to this day.
Suspension modifications were on tap too with the modification of the front struts and rear trailing arm geometry. Harry relied on the HP book "How to Modify Datsun engines and chassis" as their guide, as the Datsun competition department was not very helpful even though Harry was a Datsun Dealer. Parts from BRE, FAR and Bob Sharp were hard to come by too, so Harry and his team fabricated their own parts as much as they could. Including a cam oiler modification, that he mentioned while buying parts from Mac Tilton. Next thing you know, Mac was offering a cam oiler!
To this day Harry thinks that they could have been the regional champion in 1973 but ultimately modifying the car cost them the season due to teething problems with the new hotter setup.
In 1976 Harry and Art ran an enduro and finished first, in the under 1700cc class.
In 1977 Harry purchased a N.T.M. Mark IIV Sports racer with the intent to power it with a Datsun power plant. It would be several years before Harry would see his 510 again.
Art's Dad, Merl introduced him to racing at age 4 by hauling Art out to the Los Angeles Coliseum to watch midget racing. Art never recuperated. By age 14 Art and his Dad went to the sport's car races at March Air Force Base in Riverside. "When I saw Jim Kimberly's (as in Kleenex) Ferrari go by shifting into 5th gear right in front of us, that was it- I had to race. Oh, and Merl was affected too; he bought an XK120 Jaguar from Coventry Motors in Whittier within minutes".
Art purchased the 510 in late 1975, and learned several valuable lessons including how to rebuild a race motor from Harry.
Art, with all of his engine parts on the kitchen table (to keep them clean) and Harry on the phone to explain to Art how to build a Datsun race motor.
Art relocated to Denver in 1976, Racing at midwest tracks including Pueblo CO, St. Louis, MO, Hutchinson, KN, Ponca City and Hallet OK. and periodically at an old airfield n La Junta CO.
In 1979 Art moved back to California and took a job at the University of California, Irvine and started racing in the winter at Riverside and Willow Springs. Each Spring Art would haul the 510 up to the San Francisco bay area where he would race at Sears Point and Laguna Seca for the remainder of the season.
SCCA GT3 1981 Sears Point 4 Hour Enduro.
"Pictured here in 1981 are the principals of that 1979 victory: That's me with my hands in the innards with my racing shop's T-shirt from Engelwood, CO. That shop was run by the late Ben Peterson, who taught me how to do quick piston changes among other things- just like in the drags. Ben piloted an unlimited dragster.
On my left in the blue jeans is Ric Coppes who started with me on day one. He went all the way to our last day some 25 or so years later. We still have our Sunday morning breakfasts to watch the formula one races.
Art would make this loop from Southern California to Northern California from 1979 to 1985.
In the Fall of 1984 Art qualified for the runoffs in Atlanta and took the 510 back to run at the Nationals. It was a cold week that year; so cold that he had to tape the radiator to get the engine up to the proper temperature.
Art Qualified 19th and finished 14th At the Runoffs in 1984.
Art and Harry's future would be driven by the two cars in the background. "The blue trimmed C-sport's Racer is the late Tom Foster's (owner of Foster Farm's Chickens in Modesto, CA). To his car's left is the Orange trimmed C-Sport's Racer of the late Chuck Billington, who owned Billington Steel, a fabricating facility in Modesto. Here we were all so close at Laguna Seca, CA. These two speed demons won more SCCA C-sport's Racer National Championships than is even imaginable. Two really great guys; we miss them very much. Within a year, after this picture was taken, with Harry and Ric pushing me forward, I would buy the Spec Renault racer, and Chuck would build the car out for me. They would later truck the Renault to Atlanta with their blue and orange babies too, so I could race in the National Championships.
Art sold his 510 to an "unknown" owner in 1985. That owner repainted the car to a BRE scheme in yellow and white, the previous owner (to me) James Peacock, purchased the car in 1994. James ran the car once at the Coronado festival of speed in 1994 and DNF'd with a broken cam shaft.
Both Art and Harry are still avid fans of racing to this day, and both have contributed their time, photos and stories to this blog.
UPDATE December 2013. Due to changes in my life and marital status I have had to sell this car and my Datsun BRE 240Z. This 510 was purchased by Jim Froula, owner of RacecraftNW and has completed an amazing restoration on this car!!
EATOY PREPERANDO UN 710 Y TENGO CON LEVA RACING PERO SE ME DESMONTAN LOS VALANCINES , POR FAVOR SI ME PUEDEN AYUDAR Y GUIAR PARA LA SOLUCION DE ESTE PROBLEMA.
Carlos, I am not sure I can help you with your problem, I do not have extensive knowledge of the 710. Without photos or additional information I am at a loss to help you.
Me imagino que te refieres a los caballitos de las valvulas.
Este problema es causado por mala geometría del arbol de leva, y usualmente es ocacionado por desgaste excesivo de los acientos de las valvulas.
Cuando los acientos se gastan, las valvuls suben. Cuando las valvulas van subiendo hay que compensar ajustando con el tornillo de calibración.
Si notas que el tornillo de calibración no se puede tornillar más, esto es señal de que los acientos y las valvulas estan gastados.
Solución: Cambia los acientos y las valvulas.
Thanks for responding to Carlos regarding his valve adjustment issue.
Excuse my Spanish spelling above. I meant ocasionados and asientos, not ocacionados and acientos.
Thanks for adding our link to your Blog! I am looking forward to getting my 510 done and out on the track.
I absolutely love reading about the history of a Datsun, getting to learn where it has come from, and what it has achieved, in all the years since it was built.
Great post, really like the 1984 colour scheme!


Item description: Jensen FF origami model from Israel. Undoubtedly the strangest Jensen FF model, is the origami card cut-out series, made in Tel Aviv, Israel by the toy firm Studio Gi in the late 1960s / early 1970s. These were available in four colours, blue, orange, red, pink.
Condition report: New old stock, and remaining within its original plastic outer protective cover. Storage age only.
Special notes: We have not been able to find any further information regarding the firm Studio Gi. The origami model car range was made up of eight different vehicles, and all were available in the same four colours, blue, orange, red, pink.
Provenance: Acquired indirectly from a family in Tel Aviv, who ran a toy store from the 1950s through to the 1970s. This model, along with other new old stock pieces had remained in storage since that time.

Below is much of the text of a letter of inquiry I sent to a number of poets in 2010, which led to the forum whose results follow. Where they are directly relevant to the discussion, poems are interspersed in the prose passages that follow; more poems can be found in the "Poetry Supplement" at the end.
There's an undeniable strength and subtlety in Wystan's articulation of this position, but I didn't see how it ruled out on principle looking up the scientific meaning of "condenser" — which I did, and which seemed to me to realize a precision of the radiating thought in the poem that palpably enriched my appreciation of what Zukofsky seemed to be doing here. I wrote to Bob Perelman, another of the guests, to register some shock horror at the turn the discussion had taken, and the upshot was that Bob invited me to put together some kind of forum to discuss poetry/science relations in Jacket2, operating out of its new home in UPenn.
So I'm inviting a group of poets (at present, ten in all), known for an interest in science, to answer however many you'd like of the attached list of questions. As the answers begin to come in, I'll put them up on a discussion board, and hopefully that will prompt a range of threads to any of which any of you can contribute. The provisional deadline for getting something productive broadly available is September 1.
Which scientific discipline(s) do you find particularly helpful or urgent at the present time and why? How versed in the relevant expertise do you have to be to earn the right to use it (them) in a poem?
Do you find that words are sufficient for the poetic response/input?


Selected for the 2018 Senior European Championships !!!
Selected to represent my country for the Senior European Championships in Novi Sad, Serbia!
Novi Sad… brings back memories…. This is where I made my first European Kata Final. I was 15 years old, already having won a Team Kata Bronze medal in Turkey the year before. This time I was in the final competing for gold in the Individual Cadet category and won Silver at the time. Amazing achievement and experience. Since then I have gone on to represent my country many times picking up Six European and World medals on my journey.
I lost out in the 2nd round of the Junior European Championships, my last outing as an U21 athlete.
I pulled out of the Senior Europeans after being selected so I didn't compete.
At the English National Championships, following a change of referees for the semi-finals (I'm sure they had their reasons)... I lost that round.
For the British National Championships I didn't enter for the second year in row even though I was U21 and Senior Champion the year previously.
However, the big decision was to pull out of the England National selection process mid way for the 2016 Senior World Championships. I knew this was a big decision and that if I didn't compete it would have many knock-on effects, especially toward my ranking points. However, for me, it was the right decision and I'm sure most people know why, but can't dwell 'ey.
Being ill, on the verge of completely quitting competition Karate and months out of training, I made a last minute decision to enter the British International Championships. I knew in myself if I didn't compete then I wouldn't be doing Karate again. I managed to still make the final and only lose 3-2, confirming to me I still had huge potential.
Over Christmas and New Year and into 2017, I decided to go back to basics and re-evaluate all my Katas. It was time to rebuild piece by piece, figure out what style, version, school suited me and how I was going to make my Katas the best I could again. I went to the Paris K1, not with the expectation of medaling, but just being there, getting used to competing again, being confident on the tatami, and gain as much knowledge as possible from watching and studying the best athletes compete. I lost first round (no surprise), but gained invaluable knowledge from spending my whole time filming and analyzing Katas, leaving me with no memory on my phone! The thing is, there is no point going to these competitions with blinkers on, just there to do your bit and go. These are huge opportunities for learning, we are constantly developing ourselves, and what better opportunity to learn than at competitions like these, and boy did I take up that opportunity.
So now I began implementing the change in my Katas and Ryu. As athletes we should be lifting others as we progress, as the newly appointed U21 National coach for the England squad, I had the perfect opportunity to do just this.
In February it was my first outing as National Coach. I took a different approach toward their pre training, from what I had experienced for my last few years, and tried to provide everything they needed from the unique perspective of the athletes point of view. It wasn't a case of 'slowly, slowly', it was a case of 'LETS SMASH IT'. At the Europeans my squad achieved two 5th places, one in Cadet Female and one in 18-20 Female, and a European Bronze medal for Lauren Fretwell in the Junior Female. England Kata was back on track.
After the Europeans, it was time to focus on myself again for the final selection for the Senior Europeans. I wasn't the English champion, I wasn't the British champion (for reasons you all now know why), however I had an incredible track record at European and World level behind me, and a brand new, re evaluated, refurbished, and revitalized set of great Kata in front of me. I felt I was again the best I could be at that time and felt my Katas were the best again, and was back on track. After a tough day, I was selected to represent at the Senior European Championships.
Next major event for me was the English National Championships in Leicester. Brand new venue, brand new mats, brand new me. Oddly enough, my draw was against three people all from the same Association. I was pleased to win my first round 5-0 putting me into the semi-finals. And as the Gods would have it, a repeat of the 2016 semi-final, same belt, same competitor, but different result, this time me winning 5-0 and putting me into the final of the English Championships. Regaining my national title was one of my targets for 2017. Being national coach and recently selected above everyone else in England for the Senior Female Individual spot meant that I had a lot to prove, it was a lot of pressure to deal with for anyone in this position. This is where you have to let the mat do the talking. It meant a lot to me to have my coach there in my corner too for the first time in a while. I was pleased to win 5-0 meaning I had not dropped a flag throughout. I was also pleased with the feedback I received from experienced judges about the level of my Katas which gave me confidence that the road I was going down with my Kata, although it may be rocky at times, was proving to be the right path to be on.
I went to the Europeans, still on the path of changing my Katas and finding my way. I lost against Macedonia who placed 5th at previous Senior Europeans. It was a good learning curve as it showed what I next needed to focus on in my Kata, which I did and proved this was the right thing to do after my result in the British National championships.
The British was back in Sheffield, A venue I feel very comfortable in after competing here for over 10 years. This was another one of my aims, to do 'the double 'again and be English and British champion in the same year. After winning my rounds 5-0 to make it to the final and go against the same competitor I faced at the English, I stepped onto the same area that I had been on the previous year at the British International where I decided to make my return, only this time, I came out the winner. Double done!
Back on the international circuit, I headed to Spain to compete in the Series A. Obviously, not everyone has the luxury of being able to afford to participate at every K1 and Series A, where you do get ranking points for simply attending, so I have to be selective about which ones I can attend. Therefore, whilst supporting the national set up and competing at home Nationals and England training I am only able to compete at a few Series A and K1's. Unlike others with funding attending the K1's and Series A's, I can't receive the ranking points you get for just attending and so have to try and maximize my performance. Through hard work and consistency I managed to place 9th. I lost to European Champion and K1 overall champion Sandra Sanchez, followed by and previous world Bronze medalist and Pan American champion Sakura Kokumai in repechage. The only other two Karate 1's I could afford to compete at (I couldn't compete in Turkey as I was teaching with Luca Valdesi and record breaking European Kata coach Jon Mottram…what an awesome seminar that was) were the German K1 and Austrian Series A. Losing both to European and World medalists again, I sat back and watched the competition and continued to gain more knowledge for my own Katas and for the National squad.
My last outing as National coach this year was the U21 World Championships in Tenerife. A lot of close 3-2 losses, rather than white-washes, and some great performances from England with a notable performance in the Female Cadet category; England gained a 5th place. After being a World Bronze medalist myself I know hard it is to achieve something like this! I took my referee and coaching exam in England in January and got 96% confirming my knowledge of the rules and followed this up with passing my WKF Kata coaching exam at these World Championships.
I'm now looking forward to hosting a seminar with European and World Champions from Spain next weekend and Senior squad National coach Jonathan Mottram.
So there you have it, my ghost year, my development year, now onto my comeback year. It's been a long journey, but it has only just begun. I'm constantly learning, and thankful I have the opportunity to pass on my experiences, both good and bad, and knowledge to the U21 squad. I also recently celebrated my AS karate Academy's first year anniversary, small and humble beginnings.
So from starting the year at the bottom, to finishing at the top – England Senior Female Kata competitor both Team and Individual!
I'm pleased with my results this year and look forward to 2018.

Arada awards first tranche of AED1 billion Aljada infrastructure package to BIC Contracting
Contractor wins AED103 million deal to construct infrastructure for Phase 1 of record-breaking Sharjah megaproject
Works to begin immediately, and will be completed by October 2019
Contractor wins AED103 million deal to construct infrastructure for Phase 1 of record-breaking Sharjah megaproject Works to begin immediately, and will be completed by October 2019
Sharjah, United Arab Emirates: 25 September 2018 – Arada has announced that BIC Contracting LLC (BICC) has been awarded the first infrastructure package, worth AED103 million, at its landmark Sharjah megaproject, Aljada. The total infrastructure package for the 24 million square foot project, which has been designed by global engineering contractor Jacobs, will be worth more than AED1 billion. The scope of work includes the construction of power, water and communications networks, as well as landscaping and building roads. BICC will mobilise on site immediately and the work will be completed by October 2019.
Phase 1 of Aljada consists of 14 apartment buildings, totalling 1,300 units, as well as more than 100 townhouses and semi-detached villas, and is scheduled to be completed by the end of next year. Construction at Aljada is already in full swing, following the development's official groundbreaking in April, with contractor MBCC on site and building the first four apartment blocks in the AED24 billion project.
BICC, formerly known as HLG Contracting, is one of the UAE's most prominent contractors and has worked on many of the Middle East's most important projects, including the expansion of Dubai International Airport, Zayed University in Abu Dhabi and the Burj Al Arab. BICC is part-owned by CIMIC Group, a global infrastructure, mining, services, and public private partnerships group that is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).
HE Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed Al Qasimi, Chairman of Arada, said: "Infrastructure is the backbone of any successful real estate development, and as a result Arada is very pleased to be working with BICC, a high-calibre company with a strong track record in this area. We are confident that they will execute this critical work to the very highest standards."
Moustafa Fahour OAM, CEO and Managing Director of BICC, said: "This project is well suited to BICC's expertise in delivering high-quality infrastructure for marquee projects in the Middle East region. Aljada is a project that represents Sharjah's future, and we're proud to be working with Arada to help bring this destination to life."
The news follows Arada's recent announcement that Sharjah's first smart homes would be based in Aljada, via the introduction of next-generation technology to the development's Misk Apartments buildings. In April, Arada announced the launch of East Village, a 15-building creative community targeting the younger generation, which constitutes Phase 2 of Aljada. Also in April, Arada signed a management agreement with Emaar Hospitality Group to bring three new hotels, The Address Aljada Sharjah, Vida Aljada Sharjah and Rove Aljada to the megaproject. In January, the developer also confirmed that Jacobs had won a key contract to design the infrastructure for the project.
Launched in September 2017 by His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, Aljada has swiftly become Sharjah's fastest-selling residential community. Delivered in phases starting in 2019, the entire project is expected to be completed by 2025.
The Aljada masterplan is carefully designed with walkability and wide green spaces in mind, allowing residents, workers and visitors the ability to live, work, play and be entertained within a fully integrated and sustainable community. Aljada has exceptional connectivity to surrounding areas, and is an all-encompassing district that comprises considerable retail, leisure and entertainment options, in addition to a wide range of residential and commercial offerings.
Interested buyers may find out more about Aljada at the Arada Sales centre located at the Radisson Blu Sharjah in the Badriyah Ballroom from 10:00am to 7:00pm Saturday-Thursday.

The Final Act of the 117th Congress
Pat Rita
This morning, Senate Democrat leaders signaled that they had found a path forward to move the $1.7 trillion Fiscal Year 2023 omnibus spending bill. The upper chamber was supposed to approve the measure last night, but there was a snag related to U.S. border protections. Specifically, the issue is around a Covid/Trump era policy that allows for immigrants to be denied access to the U.S. due to the threat of spreading infectious disease. Known as Title 42, these restrictions were supposed to be lifted yesterday. However, a court granted a temporary extension of Title 42 so that the Supreme Court could review it. In the context of the omnibus negotiations, Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) filed an amendment to extend Title 42 indefinitely and was pushing for a simple majority vote on the measure. Senate Democrat leadership was insisting on a 60 vote threshold out of concern that Senator Lee's amendment would attract the support of at least one Democrat Senator and inclusion of this amendment was viewed as a poison pill as it would doom the overall omnibus package's prospects in the House. The issue was resolved this morning with Senate leaders agreeing to let the Lee amendment be voted on with a simple majority rule while an alternative amendment offered by Senator Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) and Jon Tester (D-MT) also receiving a vote. The latter would simply provide more funding for border security. Both amendments are expected to fail, but the votes allow each party to stake out their positions on the issue.
In terms of process, the Senate will hold a final vote later today and send the package to the House for approval later tonight. This will be the final act of the 117th Congress.
While we were working hard toward including an extension of full expensing /bonus depreciation as part of the omnibus, a tax title did not come together unfortunately. Democrats were pushing for an enhanced Child Tax Credit which was going to be the basis for a broader package of tax extenders, including bonus depreciation. Agreement could not be reached on the Child Tax Credit and negotiations faltered. ABMA will be working next year in the new Congress to enact an extension of the 100 percent bonus depreciation and apply it retroactively.
Also left out of the final deal is the Jumpstart our Businesses by Supporting Students (JOBS) Act. This bill would make high-quality, shorter-term education and training programs eligible for federal Pell Grants. It enjoyed bipartisan, bicameral support and has been a priority for workforce development advocates. Although existing workforce development programs authorized by WIOA—the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act—are fully funded in the omnibus, ABMA was hoping the final deal would include language from the JOBS Act.
ABMA staff is still combing through the 4,200 page bill, but a few provisions of interest that are important to our upstream suppliers are:
Biomass: The proposal reauthorizes the current directive that the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy recognize the carbon neutrality of forest-based biomass fuels and energy in any energy or environmental policymaking at the federal level. This appropriations "rider" has been a target of environmental groups that oppose combusting biomass for energy, such as burning sawdust at a sawmill to heat and power the facility. In fact, for the last several appropriations cycles, attempts have been made to water down language in the rider to recognize only "carbon benefits" of biomass, but ignore that fact that energy derived from biomass combustion is carbon neutral. Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) has worked tirelessly to ensure that the existing biomass carbon neutrality directive remain unaltered and extended through the next fiscal year.
Guestworker Visas
The omnibus extends the Secretary of Homeland Security's authority to increase the number of H-2B visas permitted each year by about 65,000 visas. As part of this provision, the language around staggered crossings, the use of private wage surveys and a 10-month season are also extended. Guestworkers are critical for the forest products sector as these workers are relied upon to hand plant tree seedlings following a timber harvest. Each year there are insufficient numbers of visas granted to allow these workers into the country. This provision will provide some relief to the guestworker visa cap.
One last item of note in the omnibus is that it includes provisions of the Growing Climate Solutions Act, a bipartisan bill that authorizes the US Department of Agriculture to register technical service providers to help farmers and forest landowners implement greenhouse gas mitigating/sequestration practices on their lands to generate credits in voluntary carbon markets. This bill has been a priority of the forest landowning community who are looking to monetize their timber holdings in the carbon credit market.
Congressional Career and Technical Education (CTE) Caucus
With the upcoming retirement of Rep. Jim Langevin (D-RI) at the end of the 117th Congress, the search has been ongoing for a Democrat Member of Congress to succeed him as co-chair of the House Career and Technical Education (CTE) caucus. That search has concluded with the announcement last week that Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR) will become the new Democrat lead on this important panel when the 118th Congress is gaveled in next year. Rep. Bonamici represents the 1st District, situated just north of Salem and ranges from Portland to the coast. One of the key committees she sits on is the House Education and Labor Committee, which will be leading efforts next year to reauthorize the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA)—the central statute that guides workforce and apprenticeship policies in the U.S.
The bipartisan CTE Caucus plays an important role in helping raise awareness among federal lawmakers about the need for investments in CTE and the benefits these investments deliver for employers. The Caucus conducts briefings for Members and their staff on a periodic basis and serves as a readymade "go to" group of lawmakers we may approach to lead on workforce development policy. Rep. Bonamici is a long time supporter of the wood building products industry and we look forward to working with her in her new role. Rep. Glenn "GT" Thompson (R-PA) will continue to serve as the Republican co-chair.

ABMA's First Meeting of 2023


Seneca County commissioners decided Tuesday morning how to divvy up a $50,000 Ohio Historical Connection Grant.
The grant was awarded to Seneca County after Rover Pipeline personnel destroyed a house in Richland County that had historical significance. The money must be used to protect or preserve a historical site or for historical education.
A plan for the money initially was due last week, but commissioners were given an extension to get clarification on grant requirements.
Commissioner Holly Stacy said money was appropriated as follows: $5,000 to the West Lodi Church project, to replace the roof; $800 to the Scipio-Republic Area Historical Society for display cases for historical artifacts; $5,000 to the Fostoria Rail Preservation Society for new signage; and $16,200 to several entities to work on mapping historical landmarks and creating videos to document county history.
Commissioner Mike Kerschner previously suggested using the leftover money to create a trust, headed up by an advisory board to make the decision, but he wasn't sure if the grant would allow it. Stacy said commissioners learned from state government representatives this was allowed and commissioners approved creating the fund and allocated $23,000 for it.
Stacy said the fund is to be named the Seneca County Historical Preservation Fund and will be administered by a board featuring a member each from Tiffin Glass Museum, Seneca Regional Planning Commission, Seneca County Historical Society, the Seneca County museum and art gallery alliance and the Fostoria Rail Preservation Society.
The $23,000 must meet the same requirements and is to BE distributed as part of a one-to-one match for organizations that apply for it.
Fran Fleet, of the Barnes-Deinzer Seneca County Museum Foundation, announced the foundation is to donate $20,000 to Seneca County Museum for repairs for which the group had requested the grant.
In other business, Stacy updated commissioners on a recommendation from the Information Technology Committee.
Earlier this month, personnel from North Central Ohio Council of Governments spoke to commissioners about a $163,000 grant awarded to several entities in the county to help pay for computer equipment and new fiber lines to enhance safety and technology. Dispatch communication lines in the county run on a telephone-based system while new lines would run on a much faster internet-based system.
She said the plan has two parts, the connection via fiber ring of critical safety service agencies and then connecting all county buildings could come later. Stacy said the committee recommended commissioners move to the next step, getting a price quote and having design work done.
County Administrator Stacy Wilson said the grant could be used as a one-to-one match and the county has the option of using an interest-free, $500,000 loan.
Tiffin Mayor Aaron Montz said the city is interested in being involved with the project, but can't commit much money this year. He said he supports using grant money.
Kerschner said there is significant money in the 9-1-1 Fund, which is paid by residents as a surcharge on cellphone bills. The money must be used to improve 9-1-1 and Kerschner said it could be used to buy new hardware from Motorola.
He said equipment upgrades cost about $500,000 and the lease deal would be for 10 years.
Wilson said the upgrades would move the county to next-generation 9-1-1 capability, increasing the capability of dispatch services.
Commissioners are to consider the upgrade after the county prosecutor's office approves the contract.
In other news, Stacy said the renovation and relocation of Seneca County Board of Election is to begin Monday. She said target completion date for the project is early September. The board is moving into the site of the former Hoperoy's Hallmark Shoppe in the County Services Building.
Later in the meeting, the county received one bid for the 2017 Seneca Township Road Program. The bid received was from M&B Asphalt, of Old Fort, for $1,040,349.03. The engineer's estimate was $1,092,235.81.
• A $145,996.43 supplemental appropriation to the Public Assistance Fund.
• A $500 appropriation adjustment within the General Fund.
• A $1 million supplemental appropriation to the Joint Justice Center Construction Fund. Wilson said the appropriation does not mean an additional $1 million for the project, but it would represent shifting funds around within the project. She said about $80,000 of the appropriation is to help pay for Lady Justice, a statue to be installed on the cupola tower of the center. Some or all of that money is to be repaid to the county.
• An $85,000 appropriation adjustment within the Sales Tax Fund.


On August 17, Fruition will release a new EP Fire. A fan favorite among their live shows, the band have shared a video for their scorching live version of the title track, which they performed at Red Rocks last year. They'll return to Red Rocks August 18for a show with Railroad Earth, and hit the road for an extensive fall tour to support the new EP.
Fruition will be donating the proceeds from the first 3 months of digital sales and streaming for the tracks "Dirty Thieves" and "New Colosuss" to charities closely tied to the subject matter of each track.
"Dirty Thieves" was written by Jay Cobb Anderson as a result of the band's van being broken into while playing a show at Brick & Mortar in San Francisco's Mission district. The song references being woken up to the area's homeless problem by the sound of shattered glass, feeling inconvenienced by the theft at first, but upon looking closer, seeing it as another human struggling to survive. It imagines them using what was taken to somehow improve their desperate situation that is all too often overlooked. Keeping in spirit with the songs message, initial proceeds will go to San Francisco's Community Housing Partnership who's mission is to help homeless people secure housing and become self-sufficient.
With more festivals and a show at Red Rocks on the horizon, the band have announced a new run of headline dates for the fall including stops in Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., and New York City and more. They will be joined at various dates by Daniel Rodriguez of Elephant Revival and The Lil Smokies. In November, the band will return to the Pacific Northwest for their first headline shows since they sold out New Year's shows in Seattle and Portland. Yak Attack will open those 3 shows. See full list of dates below.

BREVARD COUNTY • MELBOURNE, FLORIDA – The accolades continue to come for the Eastern Florida State College women's soccer team.
The program won its first NJCAA Division I National Championship in the fall and on Monday the team was recognized by the Eastern Florida State College Board of Trustees.
Eastern Florida State College President James H. Richey congratulated the team for their accomplishments both on and off the field this season during the Board of Trustees meeting on the Melbourne campus.
The players and coaches were each recognized and had pictures taken with the president.
The Titans finished the season 10-2-3 and played their best soccer in the national championship tournament. The defense allowed just two goals in the final 10 games and only one goal in the tournament and handed Tyler Junior College its first loss in 52 games for the title.
Midfielder Laura Cetina was named the United Soccer Coaches 2021 Women's Soccer Junior College National Player of the Year and was named to the United Soccer Coaches first-team All-America Team with teammates Jessica DeBiasse and Kirsty Woodacre, who was also named the Defensive Player of the Tournament at the national tournament.
Midfielder Kurumi Arakawa was the 10th NJCAA Division I first-team All-America selection in program history.
Off the field, the team excelled in the classroom as well, finishing the fall semester with a 3.75-grade point average.
In November the team was recognized by the City of Palm Bay for their achievements as Mayor Rob Medina congratulated the team during a city council meeting.

We've been telling folks that we've been "moved-in" for weeks. If we mean by "moved-in" that all our stuff is on the premises, we were right. In some ways, however, we haven't quite been "moved-in" until recently. There is a certain amount of personal touches needed to turn the corner of bringing not only stuff, but personality. Although there is still much to be done to get everything just so, I think we've turned the corner.
…and just like that, they grow up and leave the nest.
From what has been observed so far, it looks like Wiki has nailed it. I'm grateful that our neighboring state of Oklahoma (about 25 miles away) allowed one pair to drift down for us to enjoy. Hopefully, these little ones will be getting about the business of catching flies soon.
She was running short on patience with the "byproducts" being left on the porch each night. She wondered what manner of critter has been prowling around on the premises and decided to dig out the trap and see if it could be caught. The trap went out last night and, just before the morning spin, I noticed that trap had been sprung!
Hey, sweetheart, isn't that one of the critters that you consider a "beneficial"? I'm not sure, but your friend here looks a little agitated this morning.
So its been a few weeks now and trying to figure out how to mow three acres of chest-high grass with a push mower has alluded me. Fortunately, with family and friends, a solution has been offered; buy a tractor. I wonder why I didn't think of that earlier? Maybe it has something to do with the dollar sign followed by five figures.
Me – I need to rent a tractor to do some mowing and dirt moving on a 3-acre homesite.
Them – No problem, we've got just what you need. You need a tractor with a 5-foot brush cutter and a front-end loader.
Me – Excellent. How much?
Them – We'll, it's way more than you make per day, but its just what you need.
Me – Oh. Would it be less per day if I rented by the week?
Them – Yes, slightly, and you still have to actually do all the work yourself, but its just what you need.
Me – Oh. Okay. Can I pick it up tomorrow?
Them – Nope. Not till Thursday.
Me – Oh. Okay. I understand you have these things on a trailer so I can just hitch-up to my truck and drive away, right?
Them – Nope. the tractor is not actually ON the trailer, but we have trailers you can borrow.
Me – Oh. Okay. So…can I pull this trailer and tractor combo with my half-ton pick-up?
Them – (muffled laughter) I wouldn't.
So here's where I think I stand. I've got to go find a 3/4 ton pickup to drive to Denton, pay more than I earn in a week, and hook up a trailer. Then I've got to figure out how to drive a tractor up a ramp (I assume) and stop it before rolling over the edge of the trailer and into someone else's pickup. Then I've got to drive it home and do all the work myself and return all the heavy equipment that I hopefully haven't damaged while trying to learn how to use it.
I think I'll go back out and look in on the birds. Fortunately, they've built that nest low enough that I don't need heavy machinery to see it.

Russian space chief says U.S. diplomats 'a**holes' for ignoring space anniversary
Just the News:
"Let's hope that these facts will help American diplomats in the future not to be shy to say out loud the name of the first cosmonaut on Earth," Moscow also said.
Sixty years ago on Monday, Russia put the first man into space.
While the achievement was noted across the world, the U.S. said little.
The State Department's Russian-language Facebook page posted a short message on Monday commemorating what it called the "anniversary of peoples' stay in space," and paid tribute to "international cooperation facilitated by space exploration."
The post featured a picture of an American astronaut performing a spacewalk.
Dmitry Rogozin, the head of Russia's Roscosmos space agency, ripped the U.S. for the post. He took to Twitter later on Monday and called U.S. officials "a**holes," adding that "superpowers don't behave like this."
On Tuesday, the Russian Embassy in Washington blasted the State Department, saying it had "again demonstrated memory loss regarding the history of space exploration."
"Our forgetful colleagues can find the bust of the space pioneer at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C. Sculptures of Yuri Gagarin also were erected in Cleveland, Colorado Springs, New York City, Houston and Chicago," the envoys said. "Thousands of Americans, including astronauts and NASA personnel, visit these sites every year to honor the memory of the Soviet cosmonaut."
The embassy also pointed out that last week a NASA astronaut was flown to the International Space Station on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft named after Gagarin.
Let's hope that these facts will help American diplomats in the future not to be shy to say out loud the name of the first cosmonaut on Earth," Moscow's representatives concluded.

It's easy for students to feel homesick and lost in a new city. One church in Halifax has made it a priority to give students a better experience.
Since opening in 1988, the First Congregational Church of Halifax has aimed to make students feel welcome. Members try to curb loneliness for international students by offering a light meal after every service during the school year and by helping them meet new people.
Hockley, who is originally from Wales, was once an international student. She said that experience helped her understand the struggles of being a stranger in a new city.
Raunaq Kainth, who graduated from Dalhousie University last year, got involved with the First Congregational Church in 2014. He came from India in 2013 to pursue his master's in electrical and computer engineering. He still attends services at the church.
Thinking back to his first experience there, Kainth said he was amazed by the interest people showed in getting to know him.
"I found it very welcoming. Everyone was smiling. Everyone started asking me questions and everyone was trying to get to know me so I found it very interesting," said Kainth.
Kainth said the church always had food that was specially prepared for university students.
"They made sure that students who came from outside Canada to study here were fed first. I was one of them and I always had lunch on Sundays," said Kainth.
Kainth said he felt like people genuinely cared about him when he joined. They were willing to listen to him and help him.
"There was a couple who made sure that they invited me during all the festivals like Easter and Christmas. They would provide me with an incredible meal and I would experience exactly how it was celebrated," said Kainth.
Hockley said she is available to students if they ever need to talk. She hopes to serve them and help them with whatever they need.
"What we want to offer as a church is a sense of family. So when students come in we want to give them opportunities to meet people from different generations," Hockley said.
University students are welcome to join in on a service at the First Congregational Church each Sunday at 10 a.m.
