The Body Shop At Home™ Conference raises £16,000!
On Saturday 6th February, staff members Ben and Eloise travelled up to Telford, with two amazing volunteers, Jill and Helen, for The Body Shop At Home™ February Conference. Here we raised a record breaking £16,000 in just one day!
Thank you so much to everyone who helped make this happen; this money will go such a long way to help support our work in Uganda and beyond.
The Body Shop® are a big part of Children on the Edge's history. The late Dame Anita Roddick founded Children on the Edge in 1990, after witnessing the appalling conditions in Romanian orphanages. Today, more than 25 years later, we are proud and humbled by the continual support from The Body Shop® around the world.
The Body Shop At Home™ are a huge part of that support, and their incredible consultants and staff do not stop in their efforts to support Children on the Edge. Twice a year, we get to meet these wonderful fundraisers in Telford, at their bi-annual Conference. This February was no different, and our team from Chichester went up to sell Goody Bags with products generously donated by Revolution in Kindness (formerly The Body Shop Foundation), and raffle tickets with the help of our 'Champions' for Children on the Edge. As a result, we raised a whopping £16,000 for our work with vulnerable children around the world.
This total is more than we have ever raised at one if these Conference's before, and all the team at Children on the Edge are completely blown away by the generosity and support of The Body Shop At Home™ staff and consultants, plus those at The Body Shop® UK and Revolution in Kindness (formerly The Body Shop Foundation). Thank you so much.
Not only that, Consultants broke records too! Through raffles, party sales, challenge events and countless other fundraising ideas; regional The Body Shop At Home™  teams fundraise throughout the year for Children on the Edge. This year 7 out of 10 regions hit their fundraising targets, and overall, the teams from across the UK raised a phenomenal £83,898.....£13 898 above their target! Our Executive Director, Ben was thrilled to announce this incredible achievement to the teams on the day. We can't wait to see what the Consultants can do in 2017 and we've set an ambitious fundraising target of £85, 000. We're confident they can reach it!
Supporting our work in Uganda
A popular part of the Conference is when Children on the Edge get to update on our work and how all the money raised through The Body Shop At Home™ goes to help our work with vulnerable children abroad.
Just a year ago, Ben had just returned from Uganda, where he visited Loco slum. He saw the desperate conditions and spoke to the people who lived there; who had no hope for a better future. Domestic violence was rife, and conditions, especially for children, were appalling. Last February, we asked the Body Shop At Home™ to help us do something about it.
Just a year later, thanks to their support, so much has changed in Loco for the better. Our Child Protection Teams have been training people on abuse, parenting, crime, human rights and many other issues. Domestic violence has now dropped dramatically.
Bikes and loudspeakers have been distributed to enable the Child Protection Teams reach help quickly, report emergencies to the police and alert the community of anyone posing a threat to children. In September, we opened a new Early Childhood Development Centre to help educate some of the most vulnerable young children. This has proved a huge success in just a few months of opening.
We told the conference about Daniel and his mother Annet. A year ago, Daniel and his siblings couldn't go to school. They had to go 'picking' for scraps and plastic everyday to try and find enough to sell. But after Children on the Edge gave his mother Annet, a loan of around £20, she has been able to set up a business selling fish; earning her and her family around £2 a day. Daniel and his siblings no longer have to go 'picking' and can go to school. He says "I am happy as a child and for that, I thank everyone". His mother Annet says "What gives me hope is that the community children are going to school. They are the next generation so at the end of it all their foundation will be a firm one".
With the support, kindness and generosity of The Body Shop At Home™ , we have been able to do so much to transform the lives of the people living in Loco over the past year. But there is so much more we want to do. Our focus for the next year will be on education. Will you help us?

The country's favorites family fastfood chain recently introduced its newest batch of Yumbassadors. They are young Filipino achievers who have shown exceptional talent in different fields, and will also serve as role models for today's generation.
This year's Yumbassadors are not just talented artists, but there's an inventor, a social entrepreneur, agricultural entrepreneur, outstanding student, athlete, and a race car driver. Leading the Yumbassador's are James Reid and Nadine Luster. This real-and-reel life couple are both talented artists. Kelsey Merritt is an international model who has worked for big brands such as Uniqlo and Vogue, and a self-confessed Jollibee yumburger lover. Life's really unfair especially if you see how skinny she is! There's also Rachel de Villa, a social entrepreneur; Angelo Casimiro, a young inventor who discovered that you can use your shoes while walking to charge your powerbank!
Juan Miguesl Severo, popularly known as the Hugot King is also this year's Yumbassador, as well as model and agricultural entrepreneur Jairus Ferrer, runner-athlete -medalist Mea Gey Ninura who has shown exceptional speed that didn't go unnoticed.
Christopher Valentin, an aspiring doctor who wanted to established a medical care that will cater mostly to the less fortunate; and international race car driver Marlon Stockinger. And last but not the least, world renowned 4th Impact, an all-girl group who rose to fame because of joining talent shows here and in South Korea, and then in the U.K.
"Jollibee puts outmost value on excellence and we always strove to recognize those who manifest it," said Francis Flores, Jollibee Philippines Head of Marketing and Global Brand Chief Marketing Officer. "Our Yumbassadors were chosen because of their passion for langhap-sarap ng buhay. They do not settle for mediocrity, and welcome challenges as opportunities to grow and become better people. I am confident that their individual journeys and success stories will inspire many young people. This generation, the Gen Y or #ProudGenYum are impressive individuals and each of them are out to change the world."

Last year, I was given the opportunity to learn more about special needs planning from a partner of my firm, Kirk Barth. He is a Certified Financial Planner and holds a Special Needs Planner title with our firm. Last month we spoke at a Learning Disabilities & Achievement Hawaii (LDAH) conference for our Maui community at UHMC.
The part that resonated the most with the attendees were the Top 10 Mistakes Caregivers of Dependents with Special Needs May Make When Planning….
Closely related to the above……What if the sibling without special needs dies, gets divorced, sued, goes bankrupt, or just mismanages the funds? The funds may be lost forever. There is also no accounting here, and money can be used for other purposes by a spouse or child.
The best laid plans can 'blow up' because they are not communicated to immediate and extended family members. A well-meaning but uninformed relative may leave funds directly to your dependent. This may undo all the hard work and expense you have gone through in setting up a plan. A plan is only as good as its weakest link and communication and reviews are for many, the keys to success.
There are many types of attorneys and many types of estate planning attorneys. Having a special needs trust set up properly requires specialized expertise. There are only a handful of attorneys who understand the process and ramifications. If the trust is not set up properly your loved one with special needs may be deemed ineligible for government benefits—and you will not be here to advocate your intentions. The state can deny coverage for essential services if the assets in the trust are considered to be 'available' to the dependent with special needs.
Everyone has a will because even if you didn't create it, your state has one for you. A portion goes to your spouse and another portion goes to your children. Dying without a will may cause your child with special needs to receive over $2,000. This may cause them to lose government benefit eligibility. Due to the complexity of federal and state laws, you may need to seek advice from your own legal counsel who can work with your other advisors to help you plan for the future of your dependent with special needs.

The Launch Pad: From the Archives: Take That Murphy!
From the Archives: Take That Murphy!
It short, it's pithy... and it's true all too often.
It's not the direct contrary to Murphy's Law, clearly. But, with its simple, optimistic, humanistic philosophy, it stands in stark contrast to the bleak cynicism of Murphy.
My theory is that what happens when we announce a new X PRIZE, at least if we've done our jobs right, is that we plant this innocuous little thought into the brains of enough of the right people to make its eventual fulfillment nearly inevitable.
Take the original Ansari X PRIZE. When that prize, then called just the X PRIZE, was first announced, the technology to put humans into space had existed for thirty-five years. But that technology had changed surprisingly little in those 35 years. Human spaceflight hadn't so much gotten better as it had just gotten a bit different. If you pick a good metric for quantifying how good human spaceflight technology is at any given point in time--say cost per kilogram, or percentage of the Gross Lift-Off Weight that is functional payload, or survival rates--you'll find that, after a very short time period where the US and Soviet space programs worked some of the kinks out of the system, the graphs are essentially flat for the next forty some-odd years.
In 1996, people knew that spaceflight was expensive, and that human spaceflight especially could only be undertaken by massive efforts by the world's leading superpowers. In fact, it was beyond obvious--it was tautological, universally acknowledged. But when the X PRIZE was announced in 1996, this small idea worked its way into some people's heads: Whatever can be done (better) will be done (better). It surely didn't get into everyone's mind, but it hooked enough people. You can tell this from watching video of Burt Rutan in the earliest days of the prize, saying "I have never been, myself, so creative as I have eyeballin' this goddamn prize. ... I'm not gonna tell you what I've come up with, 'cause I wanna win this thing!" You can tell it got to the leaders and members of the other 25 Ansari X PRIZE teams. You can tell it got to Anousheh and Amir Ansari, and to Paul Allen, and to the people around the world who followed the contest passionately. Each of them absorbed this idea and decided that they could play a role in making the law's prediction prove true.
The next eight years were, in essence, a battle between these creative minds, fueled by this simple law, and tireless Murphy. And obviously, in many cases, Murphy emerged from the battlefield victorious. Even when Murphy eventually lost, he certainly put up a good fight--think of, for example, about 30 unscheduled rolls of SpaceShipOne.
Murphy's Law has been on the lips of a number of our teams in the Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge. After putting in lots of hard work [Editor's Note: I should reprise the story at that link...] and making lots of progress, teams are starting to have to drop out for what must be very frustrating reasons. For example, Unreasonable Rocket, our Father-Son team, won't be able to win any money this year because their vehicle was damaged in transit on a U-Haul trailer. Another team, Masten Space Systems, won't be ready because a part manufacture delivered a some critical components very late and well below specification. Other teams in this and other competitions have had similar stories--the most heart-wrenching I know of happened to a friend of mine who was part of Team Recens, a European team competing in the Elevator Games. They came all the way from Spain last year to compete in the Tether Challenge--only their entry got lost in the mail [Editors note: it eventually showed up... at the wrong office ... in the wrong state ... about 6 months later]. Recens had come a long way and done a lot of work knowing that, as a "Limited Entry" team, they couldn't win any prize money. But then Murphy struck.
That probably is, and always will be, the story of every X PRIZE. Murphy will win some battles, probably more than his fair share. Some of these will be temporary disappointments (think of Armadillo's problems with their landing gear at the 2006 Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge), and others will knock teams out of the running entirely (think of Admiral Byrd's crashed attempt to win the Orteig Prize). But, when all is said and done, some team will catch enough good luck and avoid enough bad luck that their dedication and creativity will help verify that predication that whatever can be done (better) will be done (better).
Now, I'm a baseball fan. I'm in the middle of watching my favorite team experience some offensive slumps at the worst possible time [Editors note: That story had a pretty happy ending...]. So, I know all about the dangers of extrapolating from small sample sizes. And the history of prizes is still a relatively small sample size. But with each successive victory--Longitude Prize, Soda Alkali Prize, Orteig Prize, Kremer Prize, Ansari X PRIZE, DARPA Grand Challenges, Astronaut Glove Challenge, et cetera--we start not only to see some more evidence for the X PRIZE's Law, but we start reinforcing its inevitability.

Enabling the In Vivo Photoacoustic Imaging of Livers
According to the World Cancer Research Fund International, chronic liver diseases, such as those caused by the regionally prevalent hepatitis B and C, are major causes of liver cancer. As the sixth most common form of cancer in the world, the diagnosis and treatment of its causes are paramount to society's age-long battle against premature mortality.
Traditionally, the diagnosis of liver diseases is carried out via ultrasound imaging, CT scans, and MRIs. Photoacousting (PA) imaging, whereby delivery of light energy is absorbed by tissues that then generate ultrasound waves for the transducer to produce real-time high-resolution images, has shown the potential to empower physicians with the information to effectively diagnose and treat the liver. Unfortunately, the liver has low optical absorbance which impedes the application of existing PA imaging techniques.
Collaborative research conducted by Professor Chulhong Kim from the Department of Creative IT Engineering at POSTECH, along with Professor Sei Kwang Hahn from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at POSTECH and Professor Woosung Kwon from the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Sookmyung Women's University, has successfully demonstrated an elegant and versatile method for PA imaging of the liver by developing a liver-specific conjugate with high targeting efficiency, strong optical absorbance, excellent biocompatibility, and safe biodegradability. This breakthrough achievement was published in the world-renowned Advanced Functional Materials as an Inside Cover Article.
The research team combined silica nanoparticles (SiNP)—an exogenous contrast agent with high resolution and efficient clearance—and hyaluronate (HA)—a natural substance with extremely high liver targeting properties, biocompatibility, and biodegradability—for effective liver-specific delivery. In other words, the team developed a safe and efficacious delivery agent for the noninvasive diagnosis of the liver at a level of detail never before achieved. The HA-SiNP conjugate, injected into the bloodstream, will move about the body until it reaches the liver, at which point will accumulate for PA imaging. Afterwards, the HA-SiNP will gradually escape the body via urine in 48 hours.
This achievement is made even more noteworthy because of its potential to contribute to not only the diagnosis but also the target-specific delivery of drugs for treatment. Professor Kim anticipates that this remarkable discovery, coupled with existing ultrasound imaging techniques, will bring forth novel solutions that will enable in-depth diagnosis and rapid treatment.

Heavy rain last week resulted in the Wauro creek bursting its banks and causing landslides that destroyed most parts of the road.
A community leader, Sima Ombu, said the deteriorating state of their road is a nightmare for the people.
He said responsible authorities continue to neglect the area even though it is close to Goroka.
He acknowledged Daulo MP Pogio Ghate for sending a machine to upgrade the road last year.
However, the work on the road was incomplete and he urged authorities to revisit the area.
Trade store and PMV owners were stranded on either side, waiting for the locals to help fix the road when Post-Courier visited on Monday.

Geschichte

Von der Ortsgründung bis 1545
Die Geburtsurkunde des Ortes stammt aus dem Jahre 1224. Doch das ist keineswegs das Gründungsdatum. Seit 1197 währte ein Grenzstreit zwischen dem Kloster Altzella und dem Ritter von Nussin (Nossen). Es ging um ein Stück des Zellwaldes und einige Dörfer. Es liegen zehn Urkunden aus den Jahren 1197, 1223, 1224, 1228, 1254 und 1263 vor. Die wertvollste ist die von 1224. Sie beinhaltet folgendes:

Um den Streit zwischen dem Kloster Altzella und den Ritter von Nossen zu beenden, wurde ein unparteiisches Schiedsgericht eingesetzt. Es bestand aus dem Landgraf Ludwig IV. von Thüringen und den Bischöfen Conrad von Hildesheim und Engelhardt von Naumburg. Am 28. November 1224 wurde in diesem Streit entschieden, dass die Dörfer Großvoigtsberg (Vogilsberg), Kleinvoigtsberg (minor Vogilsberg) und Großschirma (Scirmena) sowie das betreffende Stück des Zellwaldes zum Kloster gehören. Die Ritter von Nossen mussten alle alten Urkunden über diese Angelegenheit für nichtig erklären, die sie vormals von den Bischöfen Gerung und Bruno erhalten hatten.

Zunächst wird bewiesen, dass diese Dörfer schon vor Ausbruch des Streites 1197 bestanden. Weiter können wir annehmen, dass weder die Ritter von Nossen, noch das Kloster Altzella die Dörfer gegründet haben, denn sonst hätte man sich in diesem Streit darauf bezogen. Außerdem verbot eine bis 1208 bestehende Ordensregel der Zisterzienser den Mönchen die Anlage von Dörfern. Mithin dürften die genannten Dörfer schon vor der Klostergründung 1162–1175 bestanden haben. Ferner entnehmen wir dem Schiedsspruch von 1224, dass die Ritter von Nossen Urkunden des Bischofs Gerung besaßen, die sich auf diese Beweise bezogen. Da Bischof Gerung bereits 1170 starb, haben wir einen weiteren Beweis dafür, dass die Dörfer schon vorher bestanden haben. Wenn wir nun noch in Betracht ziehen, dass in der Urkunde über die Schenkung von 800 Hufen an das Kloster Altzella vom Jahre 1162 erwähnt wird, dass der Markgraf Otto der Reiche auf seine Kosten Lehnhufendörfer innerhalb dieses verschenkten Gebietes habe ausroden lassen, können wir den Zeitpunkt der Gründung unseres Ortes ziemlich genau festlegen. Die Gründung muss vor der Ausstellung der Urkunde 1162 erfolgt sein, aber nach dem Regierungsantritt des Markgrafen Otto. Innerhalb dieses eng begrenzten Zeitraums von sechs Jahren zwischen 1156 und 1162 dürfte also Großvoigtsberg entstanden sein. Eine frühere Gründung ist unwahrscheinlich, da einerseits der Text der Schenkungsurkunde dagegen spricht und andererseits die Region in diesem Zeitraum ziemlich gleichmäßig besiedelt wurde. Als Gründungsjahr wird 1159 angenommen, auf dieser Grundlage wurden in der Vergangenheit die Heimatfeste veranstaltet.

Die Feudalherren waren an der Gründung von Dörfern auf ihrem Gebiet interessiert, da der Wert dieses Gebietes gesteigert wurde und sich Einnahmen erst aus vorhandenen Bauerndörfern ergaben. Daher betrieben die Feudalherren die bäuerliche Besiedelung und gaben ihr ihre Unterstützung.

Eine Dorfgründung erfolgte etwa folgendermaßen: Der Feudalherr beauftragte einen Siedlermeister (locator), aus dem Westen Deutschlands Siedler heranzuführen. Dort hatten sich durch zahlreiche Erbteilungen bei großem Kinderreichtum der Bauern Kleinbetriebe entwickelt, die wenig Ertrag abwarfen. Drückend lagen Abgaben und Verpflichtungen auf den Bauern. Daher fanden sich viele für die Umsiedelung nach dem Osten bereit. Der Siedlermeister bevorzugte bei seiner Auswahl junge, gesunde Familien. Viele nachgeborene Bauernsöhne konnten zwar von ihren Eltern kein Land erhalten, wohl aber eine Abfindung, ein Erbteil aus Ackergeräten, Vieh, Saatgut und anderen brauchbaren Dingen bestehend. Der Siedlermeister war meist im späten Herbst nach Westen gereist, hatte im Winter seinen Treck zusammengestellt, und im zeitigen Frühjahr zog man mit Hab und Gut in die neue Heimat. Der Platz für das neue Dorf war vorher ausgewählt und abgesteckt worden. Wir sehen in unserer Gegend eine ganz systematische Anlage der Dörfer Augustusberg, Obergruna, Großvoigtsberg, Großschirma, Tuttendorf, Weigmannsdorf, Helbigsdorf usw. in den linken Nebentälern der Freiberger Mulde. Ähnliches kann man auf der rechten Muldenseite oder an anderen Flüssen verfolgen. Das Nebental führte einen Bach, dem das für Mensch und Vieh so notwendige Wasser entnommen werden konnte. Zu beiden Seiten des Baches lagen die abgesteckten Flurstücke bzw. Grundstücke, die so genannten Hufen. Dort bauten die Siedler ihre Höfe. In Richtung des noch ungerodeten Waldes lief ihr Ackerstreifen und dort am Waldrand begann dann die Rodetätigkeit, dort wurden die Streifen im Laufe der Jahrhunderte immer weiter in den Wald vorgetrieben, bis die Grenze der Ortsgemarkung erreicht war.

Dann traf man auf die Siedler des Nachbardorfes, die ihrerseits den ersteren entgegen rodeten. Anfangs blieb immer zwischen den Dörfern etwas Wald stehen. Im Laufe der Jahrhunderte verschwand aber auch dieser Grenzwald. Solch einen Ackerstreifen nannte man eine Hufe, die Größe der Hufe betrug im mittleren Sachsen durchschnittlich etwa 24 Hektar. Wenn sie vielfach bedeutend kleiner angegeben wird, so ist das wohl darauf zurückzuführen, dass zunächst das zur Verfügung stehende Ackerland sehr klein war, da ja vorerst der größere Teil des Streifens mit Wald bestanden war. Die hier beschriebene Dorfform ist unter dem Namen Waldhufendorf bekannt.

Die Siedler mussten sich zunächst ein einfaches Haus bauen, um vor der Witterung geschützt zu sein, dann mussten sie das wenige vorhandene Land bestellen und schließlich die Rodearbeiten vorantreiben. So konnten sie zumindest im ersten Jahr, manchmal auch wohl etliche Jahre, ihren Lebensunterhalt nicht selbst aufbringen, und der Feudalherr musste mit Saat- und Brotgetreide aushelfen. Freilich brachte das die Bauern von vornherein in eine starke Abhängigkeit vom Grundherren. Die Siedler waren zwar im ersten Jahre frei von Abgaben. Später, wenn diese neu gegründeten Dörfer sich gefestigt hatten, brachten sie dem Feudalherren seinen Einsatz mit viel Gewinn wieder ein. Der Siedlermeister erhielt auch seinen Lohn. In der Regel bekam er in dem Ort zwei Hufen Land, also ein doppelt so breites Stück wie die anderen Bauern. Er erhielt meist auch die Brau-, Schank- und Bankgerechtigkeit (das Recht Bier zu brauen, auszuschenken und eine Schlachterei zu unterhalten). Außerdem wurde er gewöhnlich Dorfschulze und Ortsrichter (Erb- oder Lehnrichter) für die niedere Gerichtsbarkeit, für die kleineren Vergehen. Als solcher hatte er Anspruch auf 1/3 der eingehenden Strafgelder. Das Amt war an das Gut gebunden und erbte sich folglich in der Familie fort (Erbgericht). Der Siedlermeister leitete auch meist die Anlage des Dorfes, und so kam es häufig vor, dass dann der Ort nach ihm benannt wurde, wenn nicht der Grundherr selbst dem Ort seinen Namen gab. So sind die Namen Berthelsdorf (Bertholdsdorf), Bräunsdorf (Brunodorf), Erbisdorf (Erlwinsdorf) u. a. zu erklären. Das trifft jedoch bei Großvoigtsberg nicht zu, denn aus dem Ortsnamen lässt sich zwar kein Vorname, allerdings eine Berufs- oder Amtsbezeichnung ableiten.

In älteren Darstellungen findet man zuweilen die Annahme, dass ein Voigt hier gesessen habe. Die Feudalherren übten auf ihrem Grundbesitz selbst die Gerichtsbarkeit aus. Der Abt des Klosters durfte dies jedoch noch, da damals seinem geistlichen Stand durch die kirchlichen Gebote die Ausübung eines Richteramtes verboten war. Daher wurde bei kirchlichen Besitzungen meist ein besonderer Gerichtsherr eingesetzt, das war der Voigt. Da Großvoigtsberg zum Kloster gehörte, konnte man in Großvoigtsberg den ehemaligen Sitz eines Voigtes vermuten – wenn nicht bekannt wäre, dass das markgräfliche Haus sich die Voigtei über das Gebiet des Klosters Zelle selbst vorbehielt. Also muss diese Ortsnamendeutung als irrig zurückgewiesen werden. Wahrscheinlich gaben die ersten Siedler dem Ort einen Namen, der an die alte Heimat erinnert. Viele solche Ortsnamen findet man in Hessen, Schwaben oder Württemberg wieder. Nehmen wir doch mal an, die Vorfahren stammten vom Vogelsberg in Hessen, so können wir eine bedeutende Ähnlichkeit in der Schreibweise erkennen, denn der Ortsname tritt in Urkunden wie folgt auf:

 1224: Vogilsberg
 1234: minor Vogilsberg (Kleinvoigtsberg)
 1382: von dem Vogilsberge
 1447: Foilsberg
 1482: Voelsberg
 1530: Groß Voytsbergk
 1544: Groß- und Kleinvoigtsberg

Die Bedeutung des Namens kann als Bergsiedlung mit reichem Vogelflug angegeben werden.
Die Namen Vogilsberg und Minor Vogilsberg lassen erkennen, dass Großvoigtsberg das ältere ist. Aus der Dorfanlage und der kleinen Gemeindeflur von Kleinvoigtsberg kann man schließen, dass dieser Ort nicht bei der großen Besiedelung unserer Gegend angelegt wurde, sondern erst einige Jahrzehnte später vielleicht als Restrodung entstanden ist, wobei die Ortsgründer durchaus nicht vom Vogelsberg stammen brauchen, denn da der Ort am Rande von Großvoigtsberg entstand, kann er von diesem den Namen angenommen haben. Zusammenfassend können wir von der Gründung unseres Heimatdorfes mit ziemlicher Bestimmtheit annehmen, dass hessische Siedler in der Zeit von 1156 bis 1162 unseren Ort als Waldhufendorf im Auftrag und mit Unterstützung des Markgrafen Otto gründeten.

1162, kurz nach seiner Gründung, wurde das Dorf mit der 800-Hufen-Schenkung dem neugestifteten Kloster Zelle übereignet, zu dem es bis 1545 gehörte.

1545 bis zur Gegenwart
Mit Einführung der Reformation und der Säkularisation des Klosters Altzella kam Großvoigtsberg zum Amt Nossen, wurde jedoch 1562 vom sächsischen Kurfürsten Moritz seinem Kanzler Ulrich von Mordeisen für treue Dienste als Lehen übereignet. Aus dessen Erbe kam es an den Kurfürsten Christian I., wodurch es um 1590 als Amtsdorf wiederum bis 1856 im kursächsischen bzw. königlich-sächsischen Amt Nossen gehörte. In Großvoigtsberg wurden 1669–1709 Hexenverfolgungen durchgeführt: Fünf Personen gerieten in Hexenprozesse, ihr Schicksal ist unbekannt.

Ab 1856 gehörte der Ort zum Gerichtsamt Nossen und ab 1875 zur Amtshauptmannschaft Freiberg.

Bergbau

Die ältesten vorhandenen Unterlagen über Bergbau in Großvoigtsberg stammen aus dem 18. Jahrhundert. Er erfolgte zuerst in Eigenlehnerzechen. Diese Gruben wurden dann oft als Familienunternehmen betrieben. Solche Eigenlehnerzechen bestanden in Groß- und Kleinvoigtsberg in den Jahren:

In Hohentanne bestanden:

Unter den aufgeführten Eigenlehnzechen sind auch welche. die sich zur Gewerkschaftsgrube entwickelten, so auch die beiden großen Gruben unserer Heimat, Alte Hoffnung Gottes in Kleinvoigtsberg und Christbeschehrung Erbstolln in Großvoigtsberg. Von letzterer liegen die Betriebskarten seit 1856 vor, die Grube brachte jedoch schon seit 1833 Ausbeute. Im Jahre 1759 waren 43 Mann beschäftigt und zwar 1 Schichtmeister, 1 Steiger, 2 Zimmerlinge, 1 Ganghäuer (auch Gängesteiger genannt), 4 Doppelhäuer, 11 Lehrhäuer, 12 Poch- und Wäschearbeiter, 4 Bergknechte, 4 Grubenjungen und 3 Ausschläger.

Super Typhoon Yutu, the Strongest Storm of 2018, Is Making Landfall on Pacific Islands
With a Category 5 intensity, Super Typhoon Yutu has hit the Northern Mariana Islands. It's expected to devastate the remote region.

The strongest storm on Earth this year, Super Typhoon Yutu, is making catastrophic landfall in the Pacific Ocean's Northern Mariana Islands.
Typhoon is the regional name for a hurricane. Yutu reached a Category 5 intensity today with sustained winds of 180 miles-per-hour, and gusts exceeding 200 miles-per-hour, reports the Washington Post. The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands are home to roughly 52,000 people; the majority are US citizens or US nationals.
"This is an historically significant event," tweeted Michael Lowry, a FEMA strategic planner and hurricane specialist.
On Wednesday (Thursday according to local time there), the monstrous storm approached the Northern Marianas, a collection of US island territories that share an archipelago with Guam, another US territory. The Northern Marianas are 3,800 miles west of Hawaii.
The National Weather Service predicts that Yutu will wreak "devastating damage" throughout the region.
"Most homes will sustain severe damage with potential for complete roof failure and wall collapse," the service warned. "Most industrial buildings will be destroyed."
Yutu swiftly grew to a Category 5 intensity from a Category 1 in a mere 24 hours.
The Northern Marianas' Office of the Governor urged residents to shelter in place, calling it a "life threatening hazard" for the islands of Saipan and Tinian, where a typhoon warning is in effect. Guam and other southern islands have issued a tropical storm warning. According to local media in the Northern Marianas, emergency shelters are quickly filling up, but more will open.
This morning, Yutu's eye had encompassed Tinian and southern Saipan, according to the National Weather Service.
The agency also warns that a 20-foot storm surge—a rise in seawater level during a storm—could occur. They eye of the storm is expected to see waves 25 to 40 feet high.
Yutu is tied with Typhoon Mangkhut for this year's strongest storm. In September, Mangkhut swept through the Philippines and southern China, with winds reaching 180 miles-per-hour. It is believed to have killed 127 people in the Philippines, China, and Taiwan.

The Pacific Ocean's warm waters are incubators for some of the strongest tropical cyclones, and Yutu "is one of the most intense tropical cyclones we've observed worldwide in the modern record," FEMA's Michael Lowry tweeted. Yutu could become "one of the most intense storms— if not the most— on record to hit US soil," wrote the Washington Post.
The Northern Marianas are another US territory hit by a major storm within the past two years, following 2017's Hurricane Maria which left a lasting impact on Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.

T20's greatest batsman Chris Gayle leaves the stage in West Indies elimination
Defeat to Sri Lanka and a score of just one was an inglorious end for one of the game's great entertainers and pioneers
By Scyld Berry, Chief Cricket Writer 4 November 2021 • 6:26pm
West Indies have disappointed in the T20 World cup Credit: AFP
It was the end of West Indies in this World Cup - the defending champions have been the biggest disappointment of it - when they lost by 21 runs to Sri Lanka, and no doubt the end of Chris Gayle, the greatest T20 batsman, at least so far as his international career is concerned.
The end in cricket is seldom glorious, and this was as inglorious as any. West Indies had to score 190 to defeat Sri Lanka and stay in this competition. Gayle opened, hoping for one last hurrah at the age of 42, and after scoring a solitary single he ambled a pace down the Abu Dhabi pitch, unleashed, and toe-ended a catch to mid-off.
Gayle's was a slow funereal march as he walked off for the last time as a West Indies cricketer, assuming he does not play in their dead-rubber game against Australia. But his head was still held high, crowned by helmet, dreadlocks and records, for cricket will never see such a pioneer again.
More than anyone else in the world, Gayle popularised the 20-over format. Nobody indeed has shaped any format so much as Gayle shaped T20.
And not by new funky shots either but traditional lefthanded strokes: the straight-drive (such as the one that greeted Andrew Flintoff and sent the second ball of a Test for a six); the pull-drive (such as the one that dispatched Brett Lee out of the Oval and beyond); and the array of offside drives and carves that demolished any width.
All done with insouciance. As one of his 1000-odd T20 sixes would light up the night sky, sometimes not a flicker would pass over Gayle's face. He might amble towards his partner, walking as slowly as the white ball travelled quickly, as cool as only a Jamaican can be.
A few stats tell how far ahead he was of all his contemporaries. Gayle has hit 14306 runs in 20-over cricket. Nobody comes within 3000 runs of him.
Gayle bows out of international cricket as a short-form legend who changed the game Credit: Getty Images
The highest T20 innings is Gayle's unbeaten 175 for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 2016 IPL off 66 balls - and he slowed down! He had reached his hundred off 30 balls. Eight years on that is still the highest innings and the fastest century, so far was he ahead of his time.
In their book "Cricket 2.0" the authors Tim Wigmore and Freddie Wilde quote a banner unfurled in Bangalore that evening, and it could serve as the epitaph for Gayle's transformative impact on cricket: "When Gayle bats, fielders become spectators and spectators become fielders."
It is worth pausing, for a moment, like a bowler at the start of his run. In that innings Gayle brought up his century when RCB's innings had been going for 8.5 overs against Pune Warriors. Mind-boggling.
Gayle was brought back for this World Cup in the hope that he could do it once more, but he started at number three rather than open, and never got going. Nor did the West Indies as a team. They looked as though they had rested on their laurels as defending champions and not evolved as England, for example, have done.
Gayle in his prime could just stand there and hit sixes. Lesser mortals have to find additional ways to score. But even though the hurricane has blown itself out, Gayle will forever be remembered, not just as a white-ball hitter, but as a batsman who scored two Test triple-centuries. In sum, the Master Blaster.

We hope everyone has had a great holiday season!
TOPS Software will be making some billing changes in 2019 and we wanted to give everyone notice at least thirty days in advance. The below changes will take effect February 2019.
On June 21, 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its opinion in South Dakota v. Wayfair, a sales and use tax nexus case that will have implications for many online sellers and multi-state businesses.
Thresholds vary across states with some as low as $10,000 per year. TOPS Software is evaluating on a state by state basis.
TOPS is currently assessing the impact of the ruling and will begin to collect sales and use tax beginning in February if we determine it's applicable in your state.
TOPS has invested in our TOPS Connect service for TOPS Professional and TOPS IQ clients, providing an ecosystem for over 30 partners to integrate to your TOPS solution. An offshoot of this is a greatly increased demand on our support structure. Clients using the TOPS Connect Sync Service will see a $25/month fee beginning in February.
Even with the above changes in our fee structure, our support costs remain some of the lowest in the industry. As TOPS grows, we continually reinvest in our support team and the tools they use so that we can provide you with the best software backed with the best support team.
Thank you for choosing TOPS and we look forward to serving you in 2019 and beyond!

"Love and Hip Hop" Star Tommie Lee Debates On Whether She Should Return Next Season Due To Alcoholic Claims Made By Dancehall Artist Spice
Ricki Mathers May 18, 2018 4:04 PM PDT
Source: In Touch Weekly
Tommie Lee is a fan favorite on "Love and Hip Hop Atlanta." The same carefree and sassy attitude that her fans know and love is also the reason she gets in so much trouble. On the latest episode of the show, Tommie is confronted by another musician for showing up three hours late; however, Tommie is claiming that it was a setup!
Spice is a "LHHATL" newcomer and was set on working with the mother of two until things went sour. In addition to Tommie being late and drunk at all of their studio sessions, Spice was seen arguing with her collaborator at a video shoot when she allegedly turned up extremely tardy.
Tommie Lee is telling a completely different story. She explained to fans via her Facebook comments that production instructed her on what to do.
"Some of these chicks on this show i'm on find it very easy to do sneaky s** & then pin it on me because according to them im a "drunk" and "alcoholic". I was never late. anything that pertains to my career im never late to. I was in the parking lot taking pics & production came to me. spice knew what was going to happen in that scene so I don't play that bull about Tommie is late because she was drinking. Im really debating on whether or not to return next season," the reality star said.
The rapper also revealed that she not only was always on time but she also paid for the sessions. Since Spice was looking to cross over from the Dancehall genre, Lee said that she introduced her to industry contacts.
If you're waiting to hear the infamous track that the artists were teaming up for — don't hold your breath. Tommie says that it's over but you can stream her new single called "Cheat On Me."

Stopplaats De Platvoet is een voormalige stopplaats bij de voormalige buurtschap De Platvoet in de toenmalige gemeente Diepenveen. De halte lag aan Staatslijn A tussen Arnhem en Leeuwarden en aan lijn Deventer - Ommen.

De halte werd geopend in 1891 en gesloten op 15 mei 1927. Later, in de jaren 60, werd het gebied van de gemeente Diepenveen geannexeerd door de gemeente Deventer voor stadsuitbreiding. Tegenwoordig is Platvoet een stadswijk van Deventer.

Fr. Jose Ramon Vilarin, SJ, President of ADMU, members of the Board of Directors of the Ateneo de Manila University, members of the Committee who decided on my being part of this ceremony today, members of the administration, faculty, staff and students of this esteemed institution; family members and friends who came all the way to ADMU despite the traffic.
I take to heart these words of Leon Joseph Cardinal Suenens as I stand here before you.
Half a century ago I was one of around 40 young boys finishing high school, who began to dream dreams. Growing up in a small town, coming from a family with a modest background and pragmatic enough to accept the givens of my existence, my dream was quite modest. I dreamt of joining the religious life, be a Brother and teach high school kids and emulate the example of teachers I respected, admired and loved.
I do not know if any one of us in that graduating class – whose minds were caught up in the excitement of this transitory juncture of our young lives – had an inkling what he meant. I did not, as I didn't think he was engaging in metaphors. I do not know about a classmate who was seated there too, and who 53 years later would become the first Mindanawon President of the Republic, how he took those words. But for whatever reason, the words got stuck in my brain and flashed back in my mind less than ten years later, immediately after the unlamented President – who refuses to rest in peace – declared martial law. I found myself inside the PC barracks having been earlier arrested with other church workers. For indeed, between 1963 and 1972, the country's situation had worsened.
Half a century ago, long before many other incidents took place that got me into trouble with the State, part of that dream of becoming a high school teacher was to make sure I would turn out to be a good one. This meant, making sure I would be able to go to college in a prestigious school. While it was not such a modest dream, the only choice was to go to the best school in the vicinity. And that would be the Ateneo de Davao College. At first, I thought that was an impossible dream as there were fears that I would not pass the entrance exam nor would my parents afford the high fees. But destiny would help me surmount the obstacles and by June of 1963, I was in awe as I entered the impressive premises of this college which actually had very modest facilities when you compare it to what it is today as a university under Fr. Joel Tabora, SJ.
Two highly esteemed Jesuits who became friends of a lifetime made very strong impressions in those impressionable years, namely: Fr. (later of Bishop) Federico Escaler, SJ, the Rector (who years later would be my co-worker, mentor, and surrogate father as we tried to help build the Mindanao-Sulu Local Church into the Vatican II mold. Then there was Fr. John Dotterweich SJ, our Dean who monitored each one of us through all our college years and who asked me if I had turned anti-American when years later he heard I was joining rallies in Manila shouting Ibagsak ang Imperialismo among other things na dapat ibagsak!
Those of us at the Ateneo in those years were especially lucky: for every semester we had two to three Jesuits teaching us Theology, History, Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology and life's lessons inside the classroom so I had the best of them as teachers. Not to romanticize this fact totally, as there were also a few we avoided at all costs. But with the passing of years, one can only be convinced that it was their collective witness that many have brought us to where we are today.
But from 1963 and half-a-century later, I have been lucky to encounter other faces including those of poor migrants, peasants and fisherfolk, indigenous and Moro peoples across Mindanao. Immersed among them, I continued to learn and gain knowledge and wisdom that have served me well as a missionary. At one of our General Chapters, the theme was Evangelizare pauperibus misit me a pauperibus evangelizare – To evangelize the poor but to be also evangelized by the poor. Truly, journeying with the vulnerable, the wounded, the marginalized, God's anawim opened a whole new world of engagements and commitments. And I have been blessed to have been provided such experiences. If I have been able to serve others, it has been only because I have received so much. Ironically those with the least have so much more to give.
In my advanced age and my present precarious health, I have come to accept that there is only so little I can do to sustain my commitments. Thus, I have zeroed in on only a few advocacies namely to remain in solidarity with our Lumad and Moro brothers and sisters. It gets to be more difficult especially in these present circumstances of a State whose machineries and institutions militate against the interests of those in the margins and peripheries, and when the gains accumulated through the years of struggles seemed to just evaporate and it is as if we are starting all over again.
But, these days, when the temptation to succumb to despair is just a breath away, I hold on to the memories of memorable moments since half-a-century ago. One of these was when our English 101 professor, Fr. Justus Weiman SM. brought a film projector to our classroom at a time when film projectors inside a classroom were a Big Thing! He showed us a film on the life and poetry of Robert Frost, and when he spoke the lines of his poem, I got awestruck and the words ring clear in my mind these days. And I end with these words: "The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep. And miles to go before I sleep. And miles to go before I sleep." Thank you everyone and magandang gabi sa lahat!


The greaves of the Aimless Knight, Cormorant.
The Aimless Knight approached the Gungeon as a challenge borne more out of curiosity than regret. Despite his skill, this rendered his failure inevitable.
Gunknight Greaves is a passive item.
Knight Time - If the player has Ballistic Boots, Gunknight Greaves grants 2 armor instead of 1, and taking damage briefly stops time in a manner similar to the Aged Bell.
The Treadnaught can move its turrets and fire shots during this time, however bullets fired during this period won't move until after the time stop has ended.
Some traps, like mine-cart turrets, are unaffected by the time stop. Unlike the Treadnaught, bullets fired by the turrets during this time can move while time is stopped.
