We think of Jon Stewart as a progressive leader of sorts, not a TV comedian -- and who can live up to that?
Let us now engage in an act that I'd like to call "restoring our collective sanity," or instead: Restoring Context to Trevor Noah's Dumb Tweets. Oh yes, context. That thing that has been so conveniently cut away from this frenzy of accusation over, literally, 140-character long brain farts.
In terms of pure comedy, Trevor Noah's jokes are mean-spirited largely because they are bad. A joke about "fat chicks" or "the Jews" falls very flat when the delivery and punch line are purely, "[identity category], amirite??" It's a form of humor that relies entirely on positioning some other category of people as "Other" in order to get a laugh, and any comedian would tell you, that's a weak, tired approach.
That being said, a lot of comedians do it, all the time. Who makes fun of fat chicks? Stand-ups as varied as Joan Rivers, Kevin Hart and Louis C.K.; sitcoms ranging from "Louie" to "New Girl" and "Friends." And who makes fun of Jews? Well, here's a whole list, and that's just a list of people who don't identify as Jewish. Comedy is built for mockery and skirting the line of offensiveness; that is what it is for.
Because, oh yeah: Trevor Noah is part-Jewish (specifically, according to his own words, his Xhosa mother is half-Jewish). So here's this part-black, part-Jewish guy, telling jokes in South Africa, a country with a long, storied history of anti-Semitism that continues in some capacity today. Is that good? Absolutely not—it's really fucked up, to be honest. Are his tweets in poor taste? Oh, sure. But does he get to do it? Yeah, I think so. We process a history of hatred by joking about it, and Noah's got a right to.
It would be great if people, in general, didn't say dumb things, Trevor Noah emphatically included. But clearly, these are all sentiments that a ton of comedians have, and they all make sense for Noah's until recently entirely South African audience. (South Africans, like the rest of the world, also skew far more pro-Palestinian than pro-Israeli).
So what is the problem, really? That Noah typed out the jokes on Twitter, a medium where anything and everything can be taken out of context? That neither he nor Comedy Central had the wherewithal to delete those tweets? It's true that of the many comedians I've discussed above, their jokes about "fat chicks" or "Jews" weren't on Twitter, because Twitter is literally the worst possible place to make sensitive jokes. But then what are we doing, accusing Trevor Noah of not using Twitter right? Of not being sensitive enough? We're describing a political gaffe. But while "The Daily Show" is politically significant, it is comedy. Noah is a comedian; it's his job to be provocative. As the host of "The Daily Show," he's going to have to be a bit more middle-of-the-road, yeah, if he wants to retain Stewart's base. But he wasn't the host of "The Daily Show" in 2011, so he really didn't have to be anything at all.
It seems like what's happening is that fans of "The Daily Show" are sad that Jon Stewart is being replaced with someone who might not be worthy of his chair. Why not [insert your fave]? They would never [insert chosen offense]! As such, the choice of a comedian for a humorous news show has become an extraordinarily political decision, with about as much scrutiny as a presidential appointee. It's a lovely testament to the power of "The Daily Show," but this is television, guys, not politics! Comedy Central isn't vetting this guy for possible political vulnerabilities, they're trying to find a good investment. Maybe he's an anti-Semite fat-woman-hater, and maybe he's not. But it sounds like a whole bunch of us will be watching "The Daily Show With Trevor Noah" to find out. And that is all that he, or Comedy Central, is trying to do. These tweets? Not great. But worse happens online on a regular basis.
Which leads me to the white elephant in the room, one that I predicted would happen just yesterday. Is this level of backlash a little outsize? Is this level of hand-wringing outrage warranted? How many people who are complaining about Trevor Noah know the current status of their favorite white comedians' anti-Semitism or pro-Zionism or fat-chick-enthusiasm? There is baked-in hypocrisy here, just as much as there are some terrible, idiotic jokes.
The thing is, if anyone is anti-Semitic, they should be judged for that, and if anyone actually hates fat women, they should be held to account for that, too. But we're not taking this torch-and-pitchfork party to people who actually are anti-Semitic and hate on overweight women. We appear to be taking it to this one guy who sticks out literally just because he sticks out. Because he took a job that was held by a white guy with acceptable viewpoints toward Israel? What's the context to that?
UPDATE: I've learned since posting (thanks to Maha Rafi Atal) that South Africa's population is quite polarized around the Israel/Palestine conflict, using it as a proxy for decades-long racial tensions. If anything, that further indicates that that Noah's stance on Israel is part of a context specific to that nation.


Freekeh (pronounced freak-ah) is an ancient grain that's been used in the Middle East, North Africa, and Mediterranean for thousands of years. It's also known as farik, fireek, freekeh, freeky, and freek.
Made from immature wheat (durum or semolina), freekeh is roasted, sun-dried, and then thrashed/rubbed into a uniform texture. (Farik means 'to rub' in Arabic.) It's this roasting process that gives it such a rich, earthy flavor.
It Tastes Great. Freekeh is nutty, chewy, and smoky. Just like pasta and rice, it goes with almost anything; in texture it's more like farro, with a nice texture and bite to it.
It Cooks Quickly. In less than 20 minutes, you can have a fluffy, tasty bowl of freekeh.
It's Really Good for You. We must all know by now that whole grains are better for us than refined ones. Now put freekeh on top of all the other whole grains, because it's so chock-full of vitamins, minerals, protein, calcium, zinc, and fiber.
It Keeps You Full. All that fiber and protein means that freekeh has more staying power than rice, pasta, and even highly nutritious quinoa.
Freekeh as a side dish is just as easy to cook as rice or barley, but without all that waiting around.
In a medium pot, combine all ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The water should be completely absorbed when done.
You can eat a bowl of freekeh instead of rice, but you can also use it in almost every type of dish, from soups to salads. It's great as a base for fried rice or served alongside roasts and stews.
Toss freekeh with your favorite vinaigrette and a colorful assortment of vegetables, beans, and greens. The addition of freekeh bulks up a light salad into a dish substantial enough to serve as a real meal.
Instead of noodles or barley or rice, add freekeh to your favorite soup. It holds up well in liquid and pairs well with almost any type of spice.
This gorgeous paella made with freekeh, clams, and almond aioli is super smart, because gummy rice is an unfortunate byproduct of inexperienced paella-makers everywhere. The freekeh doesn't disintegrate in all that simmering, so you'll have a better chance of putting out a picture-perfect dish with this recipe.
Freekeh is readily available at most health food stores and chains like Whole Foods. You can also order it online. There's an 8 ounce option from Freekeh Foods if you want to try it out. Yankee Traders sells a two pound bag of organic freekeh for a reasonable price.

News: Welcome To Secret Tips from the Yumiverse!


"COME, I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING," THEO SAYS . . .
The trail winds off and reaches the blackened forest edge where the berries are sparse.
"We should not be here," says Pyramie.
He does not answer and she smiles at him. They walk farther and she leads him by the hand. Here and there bushes grow, but because there has not been rain, many are not blooming as they would be in the charcoal. He does not see this. He only watches Theo until they come to a massive old tree with wild crooked branches that stands crisp from top to bottom.
When he stops walking he hears the noise sounding off some distance ahead in the woods.
"Do you hear her?" She points.
Just ahead Kakoaw is pressed deeply against Marnea behind her knees. Her mouth is open.
"She moans like a bullfrog," Pyramie says.
"She looks like a bullfrog," Theo says.
They turn and run away, the moaning having stopped, and move farther into the charred forest laughing. Theo leads until they reach a deep bower ringed round by red flowers. Water here seeps from off the hillside edge and flows underground keeping the grove moist even in drought. Theo sits on the wide crown of a freshly fallen tree. Shoots of buds and greens of all shades spring up around her. She pulls Pyramie's hand as he looks up at the sky above growing dark quickly. She pulls again and he sits.
He hates when she says the things he does not know, but he will not move. Her eyes are on him. He meets them. "Do you put flowers?" he asks.
"Why?" she says, and sits back down.
There is a flash in the near distance and then the sound of the sky.
"It will rain, I think," he says.
"The sky fire," he says, pointing off to where the light streaks but does not touch the earth.
"What else?" but she laughs at him again.
"I do not like when you laugh at me," he says. "I will go back now," and he walks out of the bower, but when he reaches the edge she says, "Sorry," and he returns to sit where she sits, looking at her skin.
Then more flashes and rumbles. The sky darkens and a flash of sky fire strikes the earth by the end of the fallen tree. Pyramie throws himself down. Theo remains where she, a look of shock on her face, then laughs at him for his fear.
He looks away from her and over to where the sky fire struck. On the ground, old bark from the dead tree glows alight and he walks to the fire.
"What are you doing?" Theo shouts.
"I want to see it," he says.
"It is not yours, either!" He bends down and picks up a long hunk of bark on fire. Then he turns and holds the flaming end against a section of the tree that was not burned. A small flame glows alight.
But he will not stop and turns and holds the flame up against the stalk of a green bud. When it touches, the stalk curls up and browns. The smell is terrible. He smiles when he sees it shrivel and points to show her what it does. She seems interested and walks toward him with a beautiful smile that warms him. When she gets close, he grabs her with his free hand and kisses her.
"You love me," she says. Her eyes glisten. Her lips are soft. They taste like her voice sounds. He kisses her again. He wants to ask her how she means that word, but he sees Marnea standing at the edge of the bower with hatred in her eye. He pulls away from Theo.

OSW-PH-H-4-9 – Halston Chapel 1885
Halston, Whittington, Shropshire. (E.Wright Esq.) Volume 4 Stanley Leighton Sketches
After the monastic confiscatione,Halston, a foundation of the Knights of St. John, and Jerusalem, was sold to Alan Horde, who in the reign of Queen Bess, re-sold it to the ancient Shropshire family of Mytton. They lived here till 1847, when the place was sold to Edmond Wright. The house was built in 1690, in place of one which stood somewhere near the Chapel, in the meadows. The red-brick covering wings, were substituted by Mr. Wright for two office wings, which flanked the main building at right angles. Of the Myttons, one was a famous Parliamentary General, in the 17th. century. Another was an antiquary in the 18th. and the two last were spendthrifts in the 19th.
The timbered chapel stands in the meadows about half a mile from the house, surrounded by a sunk fence, and overshadowed by yew trees. It wears a sombre and neglected aspect. It is the burial place of the owners of Ralston, but no regular service is performed here. Halston, or Holystone, was a foundation made by one of the Fitzalans, in favour of the Knights Hospitallers, and was till a late act of Parliament extra-parochial. The Chapel was re-edified in 1725, but there is still left a little woodwork and carving of the 15th. century, and in the Immediate neighbourhood there are foundations of buildings of some extent. There is a fine chalice, paten, and plate. given by a Mytton in 1662. A good candelabrum of brass, with the two headed eagle of the Myttons, and an Italian stove of the 18th.century The estate passed by purchase about 1848 from the Myttons to the Wrights.

John's Chronicle
Bringing together all things Johnian
Life in John's
Beyond the Bailey
Do you have an offer from St John's?
by johnschronicle
Posted on 21 Feb 2021 21 Feb 2021
Here is some information about the college!
About St John's
St John's is one of Durham's older colleges. It was founded in 1909 to train Anglican ordinands, as a theological college. It remained independent until 1919, when it became one of the University's constituent colleges. Since then, it grew and welcomed hundreds of students alongside its ordinands. In 1958, Cranmer Hall was established as a separate but integral part of St John's College, and continues to be a welcoming place for ordinands to train to this day. John's Hall, the section of the college which caters for Undergraduates and Postgraduates, has continued to grow over the years, and has remained very modern and progressive in its outlook – in fact, St John's was the first college in Durham University to become entirely co-educational.
Views down the Bailey
St John's remains one of Durham's smaller colleges, with around 500 undergraduate and 150 postgraduate students. This doesn't mean that it is any less friendly than other colleges in Durham, as John's is known for being one of the most friendly and welcoming throughout Durham. There is a strong sense of community within college, and everyone is accepted, welcomed and heard. In many ways, the small size of John's is a benefit – it makes it easier to feel more involved with college life and to get involved with sports, societies and student democracy within the college. It is also easy to get to know lots of people from different backgrounds, subjects and year groups, as well as many of the staff, which pulls together to create a strong feeling of a united college family.
The main door of St John's College
There are so many different types of rooms at John's, so you are definitely not stuck for choice! It is important to note that St John's is a catered college. If you decide to live in college, the price of your accommodation will also include all of your meals, so you don't have to worry about cooking!
There are a number of different accommodation areas around college, which offer different types of accommodation. The different areas are as follows:
· Haughton Building
· Linton Building
· Cruddas Block
· The Garth Block
· Cranmer Building
· 28 North Bailey
The most common room at John's is often known as a "standard" room, where you will get a bed, a sink, and you will share bathroom facilities with the rest of the people in your corridor (usually there is one bathroom to around six people). There are also a number of double beds and some of the bathrooms have baths as well as showers! If you do get a double bed, you do not have to pay any extra money, unlike at other colleges. You will find these rooms in a number of areas around college, such as Cruddas, Haughton and Cranmer.
John's also offers shared rooms! These are not very common, so if you do not want to share a room you most likely will not have to, but many of the students who share rooms say it is a great experience and you can become really close with your roommate. Shared rooms are usually found in Linton.
The final accommodation option at John's is a single, en-suite room. You get a bed and an en-suite with a toilet, shower and sink. These rooms are in the Garth, which is the most modern accommodation block in John's, and they are slightly more expensive than rooms with a shared bathroom.
Furthermore, in many areas of John's, you will get the opportunity to live in the same corridor as some second, third, or even fourth years. This is a great way to make friends across different year groups and meet new people in college.
There is also a cleaning team who will clean your room, the corridor and the bathrooms (if you have a shared bathroom) on a regular basis.

The SJCR
The St John's Common Room, or the SJCR as it is more commonly known, is the democratic body which encompasses all of the different aspects of St John's. The "common room" itself, while there is an actual room which acts as a common room, is more of a figurative thing, that acts rather similarly to a council, and governs the college from the student perspective. You can always get involved with the SJCR, whether that be by voting in elections, joining one of the sports or societies, or by going to SJCR meetings.
The SJCR acts as the common room for undergraduates, while also encompassing:
· The MCR (Middle Common Room) for postgraduates and mature students
· The CCR (Cranmer Common Room) for ordinands at Cranmer Hall
There is a board of executive members (the Exec) who are voted into office by their peers, and the Exec includes many positions such as the President, the Vice-Presidents, the Sports and Societies Officer, etc.
Every student pays a membership to the SJCR upon joining, which allows them full access to all sports and societies within John's, formals, laundry and democratic representation.
The SJCR Logo
The Collegiate System
Durham University is 1 of 5 universities across the country which features a collegiate system. Durham has 17 colleges, and every student who applies, whether they are an undergraduate, a mature student, or a postgraduate, is assigned to a college. Each college acts as a pastoral support system for their students, as well as providing accommodation if the student chooses to live in. The majority of Durham's colleges are catered, so that all students who choose to live in college will get all of their meals made for them. There are some self-catered colleges, where students can still live within college but have their own kitchen facilities.
The main purpose of colleges is to provide a close and welcoming community for each student – similar to the houses in Harry Potter! Every college has a group of staff who are there to help with finances, welfare, academic issues, and so much more. There is also a student body in every college, called the "Common Room", which is elected by the students every year to deal with issues raised by the students and make the college a better place. Colleges also have a number of things for students to get involved with, such as formals, balls, sports and societies.
In short, the colleges allow every student to have a more personalised and welcoming university experience, particularly compared to universities without a collegiate system.
Durham colleges all differ in size, and have different locations, types of buildings, different accommodation and differ in their levels of traditionalism. Colleges are split into two, non-official groups, the "Hill" colleges (those further away from Durham city centre near the Bill Bryson library) and the "Bailey" colleges (those closer to Durham city centre). Some of the colleges are more traditional "gowned" colleges, where you are required to wear your gowns for formals, common room meetings and so on, and some are less traditional, only wearing gowns for more formal occasions, like matriculation and graduation.
When you apply to Durham, you rank the colleges in order of preference, so the staff team can try and place you in one of the colleges you would prefer to be a part of. You can also select an open application, where you will be randomly placed into a college!

Lent Day 5 – Reunited with hope!
Last night we had coffee with a friend that I have not seen since 1995. Joy is a sweetheart of a woman who in my mind was aptly named as she brings so much joy in her presence and in her life. We knew each other when we were student chaplains in a Clinical Pastoral Unit. Nearly 14 years ago we met each other in chaplaincy in St. John's, NL and now she lives in Manitoba and I am here in Windsor. Turns out that Joy's aunt is our dear friend Vi another chaplain and another great Newfoundlander. I was pleased to have the opportunity to visit with them both last night.
Seeing Joy again was a great reminder of hope. Henri Nouwen writes about the promise of the Holy Spirit and the idea of God-within-us. "God wants to be as close to us as our breath. God wants to breathe in us, so that all we say, think and do is completely inspired by God. God is God-within-us." That is sort of what Joy is like for me. She is a breath of fresh air. Part of what impressed me so long ago about Joy when I met her was her joyful approach to faith and her very gleeful acceptance of god in her life. Seeing her again was good for the soul. She is still full of joy and still such an inspiration. It comes as no surprise to me that she is related to Vi as she too is so filled with 'joie de vivre.' Joy is a great reminder fo me to hope in the midst of all things.
Fitting that yesterday was a feast day – Sunday. Lent has forty days subtracting the Sundays as each Sunday is a day of celebration of the Resurrection. I was blessed yesterday to be inspired and feed on so many levels. It felt like I was feasting on 'good news.' In the morning we were pleased to have The Honourable Howard Pawley speak at the 10:30 AM Mass. Having been Premier of Manitoba and having served as Social Justice Chair for the University of Windsor, he was a fitting speaker to kick off our 2009 Lenten Justice Series. It was surreal for me in a way. I grew up in a home where we paid attention to politics and to news. Meeting Mr. Pawley and having him speak at the church so many years after learning about him through school and the media was a great thrill really. It was good to hear a man who in retirement still cares so much about his community and the world. The people of God were fortunate to hear about the possibilities of who we might be and fortunate to be challenged to expect more from our leaders and more from ourselves. We finished our Sunday Morning with a great meal of Soup. Many thanks to the OJT for arranging this event and to Nancy Shulgan for arranging such a great soup luncheon.
In the morning I was reminded that not one of us in an island. We do not live merely unto ourselves. Our humanity is common and we need to be a part of responding to human want and hurt in our communities, our country and the world. I was reminded again last night that not one of us is an island. I may not have seen Joy for nearly 15 years but she has often been in my thoughts and in my prayers. The great sensei Mitsugi Saotome once said, "If you were all alone in the universe with no one to talk to, no one with which to share the beauty of the stars, to laugh with, to touch, what would be your purpose in life? It is other life, it is love, which gives your life meaning. This is harmony. We must discover the joy of each other, the joy of challenge, the joy of growth." Yesterday I was reminded that perhaps on my Lenten journey to try more to discover the joy of the other, of the challenge and in so understand the joy of growth.

St.Oswald's
Location: Gosforth, Tyne and Wear
St.Oswald's Children's Hospice
Regent Avenue
NE3 1EE
St.Oswald's is located in Gosforth, just a little north of Newcastle and is part of the Together For Short Lives group, formerly known as Children's Hospices UK.
Having been working with the Together For Short Lives group since 2010, and having completed four home cinema installations in 2011, the Together For Short Lives group had agreed to report on this success in their monthly newsletter that is sent to all of their 47 children's hospices. This was sent early in 2012 and the response was most encouraging with 7 hospices replying to me expressing their interest in having the AV industry help to install a home cinema room. Most of those that replied had heard of the work that we as an industry have been doing so rather than it being a 'semi-believable' offer I think they were more than aware that it was a very real and serious offer of assistance. It was in April 2012 that Jane Hamblin, Facilities Manager at St.Oswald's, contacted me and we agreed to do what we could..., pending finding an installer and generating the suitable products required.
As one of the relevant media in our industry, InsideCI had been updated with our activity over the last two years, and I'm delighted to say had very kindly given us some excellent coverage on their pages. David Slater, the publisher, had mentioned in the past that he had an install company in Newcastle called DSE Digital and he would be keen to help if he could... Therefore when it was confirmed that one of the installs was going to be carried out in Newcastle upon Tyne, I approached David and he was more than happy to help. Dave has been installing home cinemas for the last 12 years so was an ideal company to take on the St Oswald's install. David is also the publisher of on-line magazine Inside CI, and so was best placed to support me in talking to manufacturers on donating the equipment.
Soon after this communication, on Wednesday 19th September, Ian Morrish and David Slater visited the hospice. The visit went very well and it was clear there was one particular room that was suitable for the install...
During the site visit we decided to go for front projection with drop down electric screen, the room had a south facing window so we had to specify a black out blind to make sure that we could darken down the room enough to give a good contrast of projected image. A Lutron blind and lighting system was specified for ease of use as well as a good quality blind mechanism. We opted for the control option from Demopad making it easy for both the children and staff to operate the cinema.
David had a couple of pieces that he was happy to donate directly (I think I helped tidy his stock room up actually!), and I already had promises of support from some relevant companies so these products were selected as 'preferred'. The kit list completed it was time for us both to make it happen...
As mentioned above David had some kit he was happy to donate and I had a few promises 'in the bank' so we didn't have too many items that we needed to generate, though there were one or two high price items that may prove difficult to get donated...
Projectors have come down in price over the last couple of years but a good 1080p unit will still cost you £2500. We approached Epson UK for the donation of the projector and were delighted when they came back with an EH-TW9000 projector as the quality from these units is sublime. Speakers and subwoofers were next on list and as the install was the perfect candidate for in-ceiling speakers Current Audio were approached, and had no hesitation in letting us select what we needed. As did Redline Distribution when we approached them for a Velodyne subwoofer. We needed control of the cinema to be very simple so we approached Mike Cain, MD of Demopad, to donate the software app and IP to IR controller. DSE DIGITAL donated IPAD with all the little things needed to run the cinema like cables. Following a recent meeting I had had with Lutron I was able to source the lighting control and also the automated blackout blind that was required.
All in all, with the industry contacts that David and I had, the growing industry awareness of this work, and some wonderful generosity, it was reasonably straightforward to generate the product required.
Wednesday 22nd November, 2012
"The install was carried out over a two day window, we had to do low voltage as well as mains voltage for power supplies for the projector and screen as well as subwoofer and amp. The drop down ceiling provided easy excess for the cabling. With the control of the system requiring internet access, we also had to tap into the IT infrastructure. With the source being Blu-ray this was fed through the amp then up to projector. The projector has up/down and left/right lens shift which makes siting of the projector very simple, you are no longer restricted to where the projector has to sit on the ceiling. With all cabling complete it was onto second fix of speakers and screen. It was a long and hard first day, but all that was left come the second day was the setting up of amp sound and the programming of the IPAD to operate the system. This is always my favourite part of the install as it always makes you smile when the 5 speakers and subwoofer kick into action. Cinema installs are one of the fun types of installations within CI."
David Slater, MD of DSE Digital and Publisher of Inside CI
Friday 23rd November, 2012
"When we were initially offered the opportunity to have the home cinema system installed we were very excited but unsure whether it would be any better than our wide screen TV. However, as soon as the system was installed we realised just how fabulous it is. We are truly thrilled with the donation and I'm sure our children, young adults and families will get hours of enjoyment from the new system. The staff are very excited about hosting film-nights for our families, particularly for those children who may not be able to easily access the cinema.
We are absolutely delighted with the end result and would like to say a huge thank you to Ian Morrish, and also David Slater, from DSE Digital, for their kindness."
Jackie Bolam, Children and Young Adults Service Manager at St Oswald's.
"Well, what can we say, WOW! I know that we will be seeing you next week to say a proper "thank you", but in the meantime I would like to say a huge thank you on behalf of all the team here for what you have done for us! I have just been in to see the Home Cinema set up and it is just amazing! The trouble is, we all want one now, complete with bar of course…….
The team are so excited and LOVE it, and can't wait for the kids to see it too. I understand that a few of the teenagers were going in later this afternoon, so I'll get their feedback for next week!
Dave, huge thanks to you also as I understand that you were a star not only in carrying out an extremely high standard of installation, but also ensuring there was as little disruption as possible.
We all look forward to seeing you next week!"
Jane Hamblin, Facilities Manager at St.Oswald's
"We at DSE Digital were delighted to be involved with this install; the reaction to the finished job from the staff and kids was amazing. I take my hat off to Ian Morrish for being able to pull together 4 of these projects a year, as it is no mean feat. I understand more about the whole Together for Short Lives charity appeal and it is so important for us as an industry to get involved - if we can share a little of this great technology it has to be good "

Gary Chapman, Creative Install (installation of blinds and lighting control)
Travis McKimmie and Stan Trory, DSE Digital (joinery and painting work)
EDS Wholesalers (donation of electric materials)
All products and services were sourced, supplied and installed free of any charge. The approximate total cost of the install, including consultation, installation, products and any other associated costs would normally have been in the region of £11,500 for an end user price.
DSE Digital have also agreed be available for any servicing and technical queries post install.
Yet another wonderful result and one that was made much easier thanks to the assistance and generosity of Dave Slater and his team from DSE Digital. Again, the industry 'came up with the goods' and I thank all manufacturers and distributors that have contributed to the success of this project. I'm only sorry that I can't bottle the joy that we felt when the cinema was opened... The Chief Executive at St.Oswald's was heard trying to monopolise the room for a Star Trek evening with the children so I think it will be used on a regular basis – if not only for the Chief Exec and his Trekkie friends!!
The room will be appreciated and used for years to come and again, and all involved can be very proud of what has been achieved...

MST3K: Episode 1010 - IT Lives by Night
I'm watching all of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes in order. More about that here and here.
Episode 1010: IT Lives by Night
First aired: Sci-Fi Channel on 18 July 1999
Availability: MST3KVideos.com fan copy
Emphasis on the "IT"
Remember the Nat King Cole song, "Unforgettable"? It wasn't written about this film.
This movie was released under the name The Bat People but got a different name by the time it made it to MST3K.
I'm not sure why it was ever called The Bat People to begin with. There's only one Bat Person, but he doesn't look much like a bat at all. Unless the title referred to his wife, who joined him in his cave at the end, but she never turned into a bat ... or into whatever that was he turned into.
Dr. Scientist and Mary Tyler Moore.
When I re-watched this episode for this project, little bits and pieces seemed familiar, but whole stretches of the movie seem completely unfamiliar. So, because of the little bits and pieces from both the movie and the Host Segments, I'm thinking I'd seen this episode before. But it wasn't unforgettable.
On his honeymoon, a scientisty fellow wants to go spelunking, and no, that's not a euphemism, so he takes his Mary Tyler Moore-like wife on a group tour (again, not a euphemism) but she gets all horny, so they run off to do some spelunking of their own (yes, that is a euphemism), but she falls into a hole and gets bugs on her, so Dr. Scientist jumps in after her and then a bat attacks and gets caught in her Mary Tyler Moore-do but Dr. Scientist gets the bat out (not a euphemism) but the bat bites him, and Mary Tyler Moore kicks the bat carcass away, so Dr. Scientist doesn't know if it's rabid or not, so he goes to see Dr. Groovy who give him a rabies shot, and Dr. Scientist goes all, well, batty, and then, when no one is looking, turns into a bat or something and kills people, so local sheriffy-type who's called "sergeant" suspects Dr. Scientist, but doesn't get anyone to believe him until Dr. Scientist steals an ambulance and kills Emmett Kelly but then the sergeant is killed by bats and the wife wanders off into the caves to be with her bat-husband. The end.
Dr. Scientist and Emmett Kelly.
There's really nothing outstanding about this episode. Well, Mike does a good Ted Baxter. So, there's that.
Oh, we do find out about many of Pearl's husbands. Yes, she had a few. Most died of natural causes, such as shotgun blast, which, naturally causes death.
This isn't a bad episode. It's just not a killer episode. Well, except for all the killing. But, you know what I mean.
A good episode, with lots of fun riffing, some lame riffing, and some pretty good Host Segments.
Still, I have the feeling that, in a year from now, if I call up this episode and watch it, I won't have remembered much about it.

People Are Upset With Madonna's Daughter
Story from Beauty
The Ridiculous Reason Madonna's Daughter Is Getting Bullied
Rachel Krause
Photo: Pacific Coast News.
It's 2017. The ice caps are melting, the U.S. dropped 59 Tomahawk missiles on Syria last week, and someone wrote an obituary for the Great Barrier Reef. And yet, for reasons unknown, some people still feel it's their duty to publicly express concern over what's going on in the armpits of strangers.
The obsession with keeping vs. getting rid of armpit hair is basically the equivalent of demanding people shave their heads just because you prefer yours shaved — but that hasn't stopped people on the internet from giving celebrities grief for their personal body hair decisions. Less than a month after Paris Jackson shared in her Instagram Stories that she'd been subjected to a surprising amount of criticism after revealing her own underarm bush, Madonna's 20-year-old daughter Lourdes Leon has captured the comments of Instagram users with nothing else to do for the same reason.
It's all thanks to a sliver of armpit hair that was photographed on the beach in Miami, where Leon was photographed hanging out with friends on the beach. (Can't a girl spend a little time in the sun without strangers finding something to get upset about?) Celebrity and entertainment site Just Jared shared one of the paparazzi shots to their Instagram, which people naturally took as an open invitation to share their opinions on a thing that simply does not concern them.
#Madonna's daughter #LourdesLeon hangs on the beach with friends.
A post shared by Just Jared (@justjared) on Apr 10, 2017 at 5:02pm PDT
Some commenters jumped to Leon's defense, making the valid point that it seriously does not matter at all one way or another whether someone that isn't you chooses to keep their body hair or remove it. Others said things like, "Always we say that feminists are ugly dirty fat women. This post proof that thing. All who defend on hairy disgusting armpit are feminists."
Well, then — you can probably guess whose side we're on. (That would be the feminists, "hairy disgusting armpit" and all.)

Iowa law supports an equitable division of marital property during a divorce. Unlike states that implement a 50-50 split, divorcing spouses can expect to receive a portion of property based on fairness and each party's contribution to the marriage. Disposing of property pursuant to a divorce is accomplished either by mutual agreement in a prenuptial contract or a marriage settlement agreement, or by the court during a hearing. Division of marital property in Iowa is not subject to allegations of wrongdoing or misconduct in the marriage.
Iowa is one of 18 U.S. jurisdictions offering no-fault divorce as the sole ground on which to dissolve a marriage. Other states offer grounds upon which a party can file for divorce, but Iowa spouses need only cite "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the dissolution. Marital misconduct such as adultery, abuse or abandonment are not considered when property is divided, unless the conduct impacted one spouse's earning potential, ability to work or health, which are factors considered in the equitable distribution of property.
When it comes time to divide marital property, the judge will consider each spouse's current needs and financial situation. The court will also consider each party's joint contribution to the marriage, including homemaking and child rearing efforts. Other factors that determine how marital property is divided include each spouse's age, health and employability; the duration of the marriage; and any contribution by one spouse to the training or education of the other. The court will decide which spouse receives the marital home, or right to live in the marital home, based on who has physical custody of the minor children. The court also considers tax consequences, benefits and written agreements between the spouses when dividing property.
Not all property is subject to division by the court. Property received by either party during the marriage pursuant to an inheritance is considered separate property and is not subject to division. Gifts received by either spouse are also not subject to division. If one of the parties can properly show that refusal to divide gifts or inheritances would be unfair and inequitable to her or the children, the court can make an exception to this rule.
Marital property subject to division may include real estate, bank accounts, pension funds, savings and other assets acquired from the wedding date forward. If money that was acquired prior to the wedding was commingled with marital funds, the court will likely consider that money to be marital property, unless the party can provide detailed financial statements proving the assets originated prior to the marriage. Appreciation of assets gained during the marriage are subject to division, even if the asset was obtained prior to the marriage. Debts are also considered marital property and the court must assign liability to each party, depending on that party's ability to pay.
Community property states, such as Arizona, view assets acquired during a marital relationship as equally shared between spouses. Because Arizona is a community property state, family law courts generally distribute marital assets equally among spouses upon divorce. Property subject to division upon divorce includes real estate, bank account funds, personal property and retirement accounts such as a 401(k).
Spousal infidelity, referred to as adultery, continues to be recognized as a basis for divorce in Pennsylvania. If your spouse has been unfaithful, the degree to which you will be successful in obtaining a divorce based on that behavior will depend on whether you can prove the existence of the affair. Further, although the court is not allowed to take into account marital fault when making property determinations, adultery is one factor the court considers when deciding whether the cheating spouse should receive alimony.
Each state has its own laws regarding the division of marital property in a divorce. Community property states, which stand in the minority, require courts to divide an estate equally, whereas equitable distribution states -- the majority -- seek to divide estates equitably, or fairly. In both types of jurisdictions, inherited money is usually considered separate property and not divisible in divorce. The burden of proving that certain funds represent your inheritance, however, will likely rest on you.


Hello, and welcome to South Carolina Natural Resources, a blog created and maintained by the staff of the S.C. Department of Natural Resource's Office of Media and Outreach.
Over the coming months, we hope to bring to our readers a lively daily discussion on topics related to natural resources conservation, hunting and fishing, outdoor recreation and tourism, SCDNR projects and initiatives, and other news and information that will be of value to our state's sporting and conservation communities. It's just one more way the SCDNR is working to fulfill its mission as the primary steward of and advocate for our state's amazing natural resources.
Whether you are lucky enough to be a Sandlapper by birth, or are one of the many thousands of folks who have "voted with their feet" to make South Carolina their adopted home, you know without a doubt that this is one special place. With the responsibility for managing more than 1 million acres of wild public lands (and counting), the SCDNR has a huge responsibility to the present and future citizens of this state. And we know that it is the sportsmen and women, the hunters and anglers, and the other individuals who love spending time in the outdoors, who make wildlife and natural resources in this state and in the United States work. Without the funding provided through hunting and fishing licenses and permits and the excise taxes paid on outdoor sporting goods equipment, firearms and ammunition, as well as the working partnerships with landowners and sportsman's groups, our amazing conservation efforts would be a fraction of what they are today. So for that we say, "thanks," and please come back and visit often to find out what your state Department of Natural Resources and the larger outdoor community in South Carolina are up to. We value your input, so if you have ideas for topics you'd like to see covered here, please contact site administrator David Lucas at lucasd@dnr.sc.gov. We look forward to hearing from you.

106. Space Shuttle Endeavour
The space shuttle program in the United States traces its beginning back to the mid-1970s when the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) decided to create a fleet of reusable orbiters. The first shuttle manufactured was the Enterprise, which was named after the Star Trek, starship from the 1960s television series. The first orbiting shuttle, Columbia, was launched into space in April 1981. The last mission to space for the shuttle program was carried out by the shuttle Atlantis in July 2011. In all, six orbiters were built including the shuttle Endeavour, which can be seen today at the California Science Center in Los Angeles, California.
More than 20 organizations throughout the country petitioned to become home to the retired shuttle in 2012, but Los Angeles gained the prize. Transporting such a huge and complex machine was no easy task. It landed at the Los Angeles International Airport on September 12, 2012, and three weeks later began its journey through the streets of L.A. to the California Science Center in Exposition Park.
The orbiter encountered a few problems during its 12-mile journey, and it drew thousands of spectators to the streets to catch a glimpse of the giant spacecraft. Endeavour required a police escort through temporarily closed streets. More than 400 oak trees were cut down to clear the path for the shuttle; power lines and telephone poles had to be removed to accommodate the behemoth. Endeavour also had difficulty crossing bridges throughout the city, but in the end, the shuttle reached its final destination.
Today, the Endeavour exhibit can be seen at the Samuel Oschin Pavilion at the California Science Center in Los Angeles. It is a piece of American history that is a must-see attraction to all visitors to the greater Los Angeles area.

February 24, 2019, marks the first death anniversary of Sridevi.
Sridevi's death came as a shock to one and all. The Chandni actress, who ruled the hearts of the Indian audiences for decades, passed away on February 24, 2018. Sunday marks the first death anniversary of the veteran actress and it reminds us that she had made a promise which she couldn't fulfil. In 2017, we saw her last film MOM which was her 300th film. As expected she nailed it and even won a National Award for it after her death.
During the promotions of the movie MOM, the actress was asked about her next film after the 2017 release, to which she replied, "Well, you all will come to know. But, definitely, it won't take four years this time that much I can promise you." English Vinglish made it to the theatres in 2012 and it was four years after its release, Sridevi signed MOM. Unfortunately, she didn't live long to fulfil this promise. If Sridevi would have been alive today, we would have got to see her on the big screen in the next few months.
The actress was supposed to star in Karan Johar's production venture Kalank. Later, Madhuri Dixit replaced her and Janhvi Kapoor had thanked the Total Dhamaal actress on social media for agreeing to step into her mom's shoes.
Just before a few days of her death, Sridevi had also hinted at a collaboration with her English Vinglish director Gauri Shinde. But unfortunately, that too didn't happen. Though MOM was her last film as a lead, we got to see Sridevi in a cameo in 2018 release Zero.


Thursday 28 February Growth Area WSUD Tour - 1 place left!
Wednesday 27 March Geelong Integrated Water Management Tour - new!
Clearwater's Growth Area WSUD tour travels to Hume City Council and The City of Whittlesea. The tour will include site visits to biofilters and wetlands in new housing estates, visits to council owned WSUD assets and town centre renewal projects incorporating WSUD and stormwater harvesting.
Clearwater's latest tour showcases a number of exciting Integrated Water Management projects that have been undertaken in the City of Greater Geelong. The tour will include visits to two stormwater harvesting sites that highlight two different approaches; one in a high profile sporting stadium and the second for a valued community asset. The tour will also visit one of the largest growth areas in Victoria where an integrated approach has been taken to water supply, treatment and habitat creation and enhancement.
This one day training course will introduce you to the concepts of Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) and water sensitive cities, focusing on the WSUD approach to stormwater management. The session will cover the principles of stormwater management, focusing on how to set targets to allow for water conservation as well as flow and water quality management. It will emphasise basic principles of water quality treatment and flow management to guide selection and design of treatment systems. Design considerations, treatment performance and operation and maintenance will be discussed for a wide range of treatment systems.
Urban Waterways are included as a target area in the recently announced Target Area Grants from the Federal Government's Caring for our Country program.
Target Area Grants will provide funding of between $50 000 and $2 million for projects to maintain ecosystem services, protect our conservation estate, and enhance the capacity of Indigenous communities to conserve and protect natural resources across six target areas.

In June 2011, Council was successful in receiving a grant for stormwater harvesting at Mount Waverley Reserve as part of the Australian Government 'Stormwater Harvesting and Reuse Fund'.
This short video provides a great overview of the Mount Waverley stormwater harvesting project. Theproject diverts rainwater from Melbourne Water's reservoir roof into five 100,000 litre water tanks. This water will be used to irrigate surrounding sports fields used by the Eastern Football League, Waverley Blues Football Club and Mount Waverley Cricket Club. The water will also be used by Council staff to help maintain trees on nature strips and Monash reserves.

Q: How do I find rows where two column values are switched? I have a table with three columns: StartingId, EndingId, and TripCount. The starting and ending ids are the PKs of locations where the trip starts and ends, respectively. The TripCount contains an integer representing the number of times people have traveled between the starting location and ending location.
There will be times when the ending id of one trip becomes the starting id of another trip. The counts will likely also be different when reversing the starting and ending ids.
Here's some sample data:
StartingId   EndingId   TripCount
100          200        1023
101          300        5214
200          100        600
650          200        100

How do I return only rows that are the reverse trip of another trip and the TripCount. My desired results:
StartingId   EndingId   TripCount
100          200        1023
200          100        600

A: You join back to the table itself using a different alias.  You want one table's StartingId to equal that same table's EndingId and vice versa.
Select
      t.StartingId,
      t.EndingId,
      t.TripCount
FROM
      MyTable t
INNER JOIN
      MyTable t2
ON
      t2.StartingId = t.EndingId AND t2.EndingId = t.StartingId

SQL Fiddle Demo

A: You can use an exists clause:
select startingID
     , endingID
     , tripCount
  from myTable t
 where exists (select 1
                 from myTable t2
                where t2.startingID = t.endingID
                  and t2.endingID = t.startingID)

We've changed how you log sales and income in Teamzy. As always, we only make changes when we believe they will greatly simplify the process for you!
I have a few questions about the income tracking. I am trying to enter income from 2016 and when I go to log it, it isn't tracking. So, I tried to enter something for 2017 to see if it was the year that was the problem, it logged but doesn't show the activity so that I can delete what I did!
Is there a way that I can log my income for 2016 and edit the ones that I enter?

SEC Reporting Changes: Accelerated Settlement Cycles
Tuesday, March 1, 2022 | By Nichole M. Kramer, Assistant Vice President, ETF Medallion Distribution, SS&C ALPS
In 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), made a change for security settlements. The SEC adopted an amendment to the settlement cycle rule, Rule 15c6-1(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, to shorten the standard settlement cycle for most broker-dealer transactions from three business days after the trade date (T+3) to two business days after the trade date (T+2) standard. On September 5, 2017, that change became effective.
Recently, the DTCC (Depository Trust Clearing Corporation) along with ICI (Investment Company Institute), Deloitte and SIFMA (Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association) published a 44-page whitepaper on Accelerating the US Securities Settlement Cycle to T+1. On February 9, 2022, the SEC proposed a package of rules that includes shortening the settlement cycle to one business day after the trade date (T+1). As of February 24, 2022, DTCC has announced that the SEC unanimously voted in favor of the change and has officially set the date for implementation of March 31, 2024.
These changes are "designed to protect investors, reduce risk, and increase operational efficiency."1 How you ask? We are living in a very digital world; money moves electronically and trades are placed electronically rather than calling them in. Long before we had computers, every trade and transaction was a manual process, so it made sense to have a settlement three days after the trade date. But as we became more of a digital world, it no longer made sense in practice to have the settlement cycle be so long. These two factors alone mitigate risk, because the more you have people touching a transaction, the more likely it will be exposed to errors and risk.
As for operational efficiency, there are several reasons why this is a good policy change. Most transactions, especially for exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are done as in-kind. Having a T+1 settlement allows the fund to receive shares more quickly and distribute creation units to the Authorized Participants (APs) in a shorter time period. This, in turn, allows them to distribute shares onto the exchange for purchase in the secondary market.
Internal compliance departments at broker/dealer (B/D) desks are required to get T+1 (short settlement) approval, and given that cash redeem orders often come in 15 minutes before market close, it makes it difficult for the issuer to ask for T+1 settlement on Mark on Close (MOC) orders given the B/D's requirement to get approval internally.
In addition, when an ETF is fixed income or commodities based, most orders to create are done in cash. The T+1 settlement on cash create order makes it more efficient for the fund to purchase the bonds or futures the day of the order (since the AP has to post the funds the same day) due to market fluctuation. But for a cash redeem order of a fixed income or commodities-based ETF, it actually makes more sense for the fund to have a T+2 settlement.
As for ETFs that have international securities, a T+1 settlement may not be efficient at all. Most ETFs that deal with markets outside of the United States have a T-1 order window, meaning APs place the order today (T-1) after the market close, for tomorrow's trade date(T). The T-1 order typically requires collateral capital to be posted so that the portfolio manager can do trades overnight in the affected markets for any cash order and/or cash-in-lieu securities. A T+1 settlement would be almost impossible to make happen for both parties—the fund and the AP—involved in this scenario.
The biggest disadvantage today for a T+1 settlement being the standard is that market "participants must align and agree to shorten the settlement cycle by implementing the necessary operational and business changes."2 DTCC itself can handle T+1 and even same day (T+0) settlements already, but the industry as a whole will need to align itself around the shortened settlement cycle. It remains to be seen if T+0 will become standard as an industry whole. For now, the consensus is that T+1 is a good change and will be embraced by the whole of the market for its risk reduction, quicker deployment of capital and operational efficiency.

Ishita questioned Raman that she would make him say sorry to Romi as it was about her daughter. Mrs. Bhalla just prayed to God to reunite her family again. Ruhi heard some sound and came out of her room and asked Mrs. Bhalla as what was happening there. She told her that Ishita forcibly took Raman to walk.
She murmured that she had a habit of forcing people. Shagun thought to do something too as all were appreciating Ishita only. She asked Pihu to help her and ask Ruhi to be in her plan too. Ruhi denied and said she was in the habit of taking children into the conspiracy. She cried and asked her not to try to spoil Pihu's relation with her. Shagun felt sad and said why everyone mistook her all the time.
Raman and Ishita and Mihika were on their way. Raman asked as why he should apologize. He was the one because of which he lost his Ruhi. Mihika asked not to blame him for that. Amma made rangoli as Romi was going to come home.
She was really happy. He asked Appa to get ready. Mrs. Bhalla by mistake ran over rangoli. She was going to shout at her but kept quite seeing Ruhi. She smiled and said she would do that again, no problem. Ruhi smiled seeing them.
Mihika got Ishita and Raman to meet Romi. Raman refused to go ahead. Romi too refused to meet him. Mihika forcibly took him. Ishita said to Romi that Raman wanted to say something to him. Raman replied that he did not want to say anything to him.
Adi thanked Ruhi for reuniting the family and said her that he was really happy and wanted to get something to show to her. He asked her not to be so negative. She replied to him that Romi was not there. What they all wanted to show her.
She understood everything that was happening. He said Ishita had gone to take Romi back to home, and she would succeed. Everyone was shocked to see Romi at home; they were happy. Romi hugged Ruhi and said he missed her a lot, and he had to come back home just for her.
Ruhi got emotional and started crying. He then asked everyone to get ready as they would do everything they did in Ruhi's childhood. Mrs. Bhalla asked Ishita as how she managed that. She said Raman said sorry to Ruhi. She asked Ishita to stay with them forever.

The title of 'Paralegal' was coined in the USA in 1968 and has only become a prominent description to legal assistants in the UK since late 1980s. Paralegals are an unregulated body of legal professionals and as such there is no requirement for a Governing body. There is no requirement for accreditation for paralegal courses. There are a number of businesses all trying to introduce separate 'standards' to this now very popular career of choice.
The Paralegal's role is to provide lower operating costs to legal services under the supervision of Solicitors or Barristers. A degree is not necessary. A Licence is not necessary. Practising Certificates are not necessary. The Solicitors Act 1974 reserves certain legal activities for Solicitors and Barristers and therefore Paralegals can only perform many of these activities under the supervision of Solicitors or Barristers.
There are some unregulated areas of law such as debt recovery, undefended divorces and Wills in which paralegals are able to offer independent legal services to members of the public. This will entail setting up a paralegal agency or paralegal consultancy, obtaining Professional Indemnity Insurance, registration at HM Revenues and Customs for tax purposes and having the necessary legal expertise required.
A. Some unregulated legal activities such as appearing at Tribunals, County Court Small Claims, Trademark and Patent Agents can be performed by Paralegals, unsupervised. Paralegals do not have the right of audience in any Court. Private individuals can represent themselves at Tribunals, County Court Small Claims and make applications for Trademarks and Patents. If someone is not entirely confident of representing themselves in these environments, they can be assisted by a 'litigation friend' who can be a relative, a paralegal, or someone they trust.
There are now several Paralegal Agencies offering unregulated services to members of the public in areas such as undefended Divorce applications, Road Traffic Accident claims, Debt Recovery and so on. This is perfectly legal and offers further scope for Paralegals to be employed. Professional Indemnity Insurance must be acquired by these agency operators, they must operate both a Clients Account and an Office Account in order to act as stakeholders to clients money and they must become registered at HMRC as self employed.
Many such paralegals can voluntarily register themselves as members of a Membership body or on a paralegal register in order to build trust and maintain confidence in the level of services they provide. Such registers are voluntary.
Until and if the UK government recognises the Paralegal Profession as an independent legal profession and gives them powers to work in those areas reserved for Solicitors and Barristers, Paralegals will continue to work under supervision, except as mentioned, in those unregulated areas.
1. Having relevant legal work experience.
2. Completing an appropriate Paralegal Course.
Having your legal work experience recognised is not a route which is open to all. Working within a legal environment requires knowledge of legal procedures and Solicitors do not normally have the time nor the inclination to train someone on the job - this environment is far too busy. They prefer to employ someone who has already the necessary legal expertise.
Selecting an appropriate course is now becoming a minefield. How can you evaluate the most effective type of course to study? As a general rule, courses which cover Procedural Law and lean towards practical skills such as, form filling, research, interviewing, are what solicitors value most. In the UK, a law degree in itself, does not prepare you for the role of a Paralegal. Unless you are aiming to qualify as a Solicitor or Barrister, this is not necessary. Having a law degree will require further legal qualification such as completing a Procedural Law Course or the Law Society's Legal Practice Course. Membership of organisations is optional and should not be confused with qualifying as a Paralegal.
There are now several institutions offering paralegal qualifications in addition to private and independent colleges and there should be a course to suit everyone. All aspects of legal studies can be undertaken eg Immigration, Probate, Commercial Law, Corporate Law, Conveyancing, Litigation, Principles of English Law, Maritime Law, Human Rights, International and European Law and the list goes on. There are also several 'levels' of qualifications being offered by different institutions and undertaking a course which gives an Introduction or an Overview is simply to test whether this is a career for you and should not be viewed as acquiring the required level of competency.
•Legal Secretaries are sometimes referred to as 'Paralegals' but in reality, they are not able to be 'fee earners' unless they have a Paralegal qualification - Differences Between Legal Secretaries and Paralegals.
•Many businesses self-regulate or operate as 'institute' or 'association' which could be misinterpreted as having the authority of governing or regulatory bodies. In many instances, they are training providers and are not governing nor regulatory bodies. Governing and Regulatory bodies must not themselves deliver training courses as this will be a Conflict of Interest.
We have specialised in law courses since 1988 and is one of the oldest training institutions in the UK. We have gained recognition for our training techniques, the quality of our courses and for their relevance in working as a Paralegal or Legal Secretary.
Since our inception in 1988, all our secretary courses have been of a standard which allows students to carry out work as 'paralegals' but they do not offer the official title of 'qualified paralegals'. To gain this title, legal secretaries can upgrade to any of our Paralegal Courses and many have already done so.
•Students are given top priority.
•Courses are comprehensive and intensive.
•We are not distracted by offering several type of courses and therefore spend more time innovating and improving.
Our specialist subjects are General Principles of English Law, Corporate Law, Conveyancing, Litigation, Probate. We offer several modules to qualify as Paralegals and we do not require that all modules are completed at once. Students can complete our module as suits their budget. This has proved very convenient and allows many to begin their legal careers.
Our courses can be done by online Distance Learning. This is another step to bring legal qualifications to many and enable them to embark on a legal career which in the past, may have been prohibited.
The proof of a great course is in its students' recommendation. Many of our past students have become employed as Paralegals, Legal Secretaries or have progressed to higher education at Universities in the UK.
Read the many Reviews where our students have spontaneously expressed what they think of the courses.
To all our students, we give our biggest 'Thank You' as without them, we would be just another training provider.


Some of you may recall a Rachel Krehm video "A Summary of Air Canada's stellar guidelines on which musical instruments can be carried on board, and which must be checked baggage." (If you haven't seen it click the link. It's outrageous.) Rachel's video stirred up quite the conversation. What most folks likely didn't realize is that Air Canada took 100% responsibility for their poorly constructed policies. The airline was responsive and appreciative of the many criticisms and immediately became the first airline to own up to poor oversight (let's hope not the last). So, after 'burning the midnight oil' for only 10 months, Air Canada finally shouts out to musicians "Your World Awaits," and they really mean it.

Military Aviation Chronicles (MAC) Editor John T. Stemple at the 2018 Colorado Aviation Historical Society Annual Banquet.
Influences and experiences during John Stemple's youth engendered a love of aviation and all things nautical. John was born in the city touted as "The Birthplace of Aviation" and early on he developed a fascination with flying because the local citizenry cherished the legacies of the famous powered flight pioneers Wilbur and Orville Wright. Also influential was the fact that the Stemple residence was near a major air force base and jets passed overhead, some causing sonic booms, daily. In the mid 1960s an airplane ride arranged by George "Sky King" Vaughn represented John's first trip to the clouds. For John Stemple it was a life-changing event.
The aeroplane in which John first flew, a WACO YQC-6 partially owned by local aviation legend George Vaughn. Photo dating from 1965-1966 by Worley E. Stemple.

Mr. Stemple also vividly recalls cruising the waters of Lake Erie circa 1965-1968 between Put-in-Bay, Ohio and Pelee, Ontario, Canada during summertime excursions aboard a Sea Cadets boat. Whenever the vessel transited through the area where the bitter September 1813 Battle of Put-in-Bay (aka "Battle of Lake Erie") occurred impressionable young John mentally pictured the majestic Royal Navy sloops-of-war HMS Queen Charlotte and HMS Detroit and the U.S. Navy snows USS Niagara and USS Lawrence with their associated squadrons. He also thought of the sailors who were killed and maimed during the bloody encounter, a nautical skirmish in a geographically large conflict which Lieutenant John Le Couteur of the 104th (New Brunswick) Regiment of Foot succinctly summarized as a "hot war and unnatural war between kindred people." The lad agreed with Le Couteur's sentiments.
From the deck of the small craft John also watched commercial Ford Tri-Motors and general aviation aircraft transiting to and from island airports and U.S. Coast Guard cutters on patrol. To the child it was all fascinating. Unbeknownst to him at the time, he would eventually be at the controls of aeroplanes and helms of motorboats.
John's father, Worley Emery Stemple, posing with a flying training instructor and Aeronca Chief light plane at Dahio Trotwood Airport circa October-December 1941. Photo: Worley E. Stemple via John T. Stemple.
John Stemple's father, who undertook civilian flying training before World War 2, was employed at nearby Gentile Air Force Station, a military supply depot named after legendary Ohioan Dominic (aka "Don") Salvatore Gentile, when John was born. In the early years of the Second World War, before the United States officially entered the conflict, Gentile had crossed the border and enlisted with the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF).
Gentile soon transferred to the Royal Air Force (RAF) and became an Eagle Squadron pilot and subsequently a U.S. Army Air Forces (USAAF) ace. While training to earn aircraft maintenance technician ratings, Mr. Stemple was inspired by accounts, which were provided to the class by airframe curriculum instructor William F. Laufer, of Don Gentile flying a North American Mustang fighter around Piqua, Ohio. Thus, Mr. Stemple, still only a teenager, had become engrossed with the aeroplanes and vessels of the Canadian, British, and U.S. armed forces.

After John obtained the applicable Federal Aviation Administration licenses he attended university and earned three (Aviation Administration, Management of Human Resources and Community Leadership) academic degrees.

Mr. Stemple joined the U.S. Air Force Auxiliary/Civil Air Patrol in 1998 as an Aerospace Education Member. He eventually undertook flying training and earned a pilot license. Additionally, John completed two years of full-time domestic national service and has periodically undertaken voluntary, short-term, uniformed labor commitments on overseas military bases.
John T. Stemple's "family tree" contains one branch that originates with King Robert II (Queen Elizabeth II's 17th great-grandfather) of Scotland. In honor of these familial roots John frequently writes about military aviation history related to the United Kingdom and Commonwealth and former British colonies and protectorates, including Israel which was previously under the British Mandate for Palestine. Scientific genealogical DNA testing and analysis revealed that John additionally possesses multiple Native American (U.S.) and First Nations (Canada) ancestries. Therefore, Mr. Stemple also enjoys writing about Native American and First Nations aviators.
As a supplement to above referenced photojournalism, John Stemple actively promotes the public recognition RCAF-Americans and RAF-Americans. In fact, John was a principal organizer and sponsor of ceremonies held in January 2016 to belatedly pay homage to those Floridians who voluntarily served in the RCAF and RAF during the Second World War. More recently, in 2017, he, in conjunction with Bomber Command Museum of Canada, ensured that RCAF-Coloradans received recognition by arranging for their induction into the Colorado Aviation Hall of Fame. Memorial plaques he designed and obtained for the Florida and Colorado initiatives are on indefinite display inside the Winter Haven Municipal Airport terminal and Wings Over The Rockies Air & Space Museum in Denver.
J.T. Stemple. June 2019.
Most recently John Stemple, as a salute to Her Majesty The Queen and military veterans, conceived of and proposed the 15 June 2019 Coronation Review of the Fleet Commemoration & Anniversary Flight. And with the support and assistance of the Rocky Mountain Wing of the Commemorative Air Force and Colorado Aviation Historical Society (CAHS), he flew as a passenger/Second World War & 1950's Royal Canadian Navy Leading Seaman Air Rigger reenactor inside the Rocky Mountain Wing's Grumman Avenger during the 1940's WWII Era Ball at Boulder Municipal Airport.

John T. Stemple, a Commemorative Air Force "colonel" and commissioned member of the Honorary Order of Kentucky Colonels, serves Military Aviation Chronicles, Bomber Command Museum of Canada, Airplane Hunters, and Halifax 57 Rescue (Canada) in the capacities of historian, photojournalist, and occasionally as a camera plane pilot.
