HONOLULU, HAWAII—Hawaiian Airlines has revealed the next wave of culinary talent to be showcased in its ongoing Featured Chef Series, an esteemed collaboration with renowned chefs on transpacific flights that underscores Hawai'i's vibrant food culture and the airline's distinct onboard experience. Led by Hawaiian's newly appointed Executive Chef Lee Anne Wong of Honolulu's Koko Head Café, the chef roster includes Mark "Gooch" Noguchi of Pili Group, Wade Ueoka of MW Restaurant, and Eric Oto of Hoku's at The Kahala Hotel & Resort. Celebrity Chef Chang-Wook Chung of Seoul's Kumsan Restaurant will continue to delight guests on Hawaiian's inbound flights from South Korea with his award-winning fare.
"The Featured Chef Series is a perfect way to share with guests a part of what Hawai'i and Hawaiian Airlines are all about, which is authentic experiences representative of our unique and flavorful island culture," said Renee Awana, managing director of product development at Hawaiian Airlines. "We are truly honored to include these incredible chefs and their amazing cuisine as part of our Hawaiian hospitality and unique onboard service."
The timeline for the Featured Chef Series is as follows:
June 1 – Nov. 30, 2018: Chef Mark Noguchi, co-founder/chef of Pili Group First Class - North America to Hawai'i
Chef Noguchi was raised in O'ahu's historical Mānoa Valley. He is an alumnus of the Kapi'olani Community College's Culinary Arts Program and the Culinary Institute of America, later working alongside James Beard Award-winning chef George Mavrothalassitis and Ed Kenney of Town Hospitality Group. Experts in Hawai'i regional cuisine, he and his wife Amanda Corby Noguchi opened their first joint venture, Pili Group, LLC in Honolulu in 2012. Noguchi's dedication to empowering his community through food and education has made Noguchi a recognized leader in Hawai'i's sustainable food movement.
A selection of his in-flight creations includes Short Rib Beef Stew with Coconut Ginger Brown Rice; Mama Gooch's Hiyashi Chuka Noodle Salad; Smoked Shrimp Dip with Crostini; Tofu Hekka with Long Rice Noodles; Portuguese Bean Soup; BBQ Pork Sliders with Hawaiian Sweet Bun; and Mushroom Frittata with Portuguese Sausage.
Dec. 1, 2018 – May 31, 2019: Chef Eric Oto, chef de cuisine at Hoku's First Class - North America to Hawai'i
Chef Eric Oto will lead the second phase of the Featured Chef Series for flights coming to Hawai'i from the U.S. mainland. His passion for the culinary arts began at the age of four when he caught his first fish with a bamboo cane pole. At a young age, Oto learned the philosophies of respecting and appreciating Hawai'i's food ecosystem from his father, a lifelong farmer and fisherman. Today, Oto's reverence for the ocean can be seen — and tasted — in his cooking. Committed to supporting Hawai'i's next generation of chefs, Oto serves as a chef-mentor for local high school students with the Hawai'i Culinary Education Foundation and the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Jeune Chef Competition.
Sept. 1, 2018 – May 31, 2019: Chef Wade Ueoka, co-owner/chef of MW Restaurant All Cabins – Osaka, Tokyo and Sapporo to Hawai'i
Chef Wade Ueoka joined Hawaiian's culinary program in 2016 and, from Dec. 1, 2017, to May 31, 2018, designed menus for Hawaiian's First Class guests on North America inbound flights. Beginning Sept. 1, Ueoka will design menus for Japan to Hawaii flights in all cabins. In 2013, he and his wife Michelle KarrUeoka opened their first joint venture, MW Restaurant, in Honolulu, where they specialize in Hawai'i regional cuisine. Both have traveled the world, and draw inspiration from their journeys. In February 2014, MW Restaurant earned a James Beard Foundation nomination as Best New Restaurant.
Sept. 1, 2018 – May 31, 2019: Chef Chang-Wook Chung, owner/chef of Kumsan Restaurant All Cabins – Seoul to Hawai'i
Chef Chung, who joined Hawaiian's in-flight dining program in 2016, will continue his tenure as the featured chef on flights arriving from South Korea. An expert in French and Japanese cuisine, he is the owner and chef of Kumsan Restaurant, Seoul. His culinary excellence has been widely recognized and he has appeared in several Korean television programs. Feeling a strong personal attachment to Hawai'i, Chung has returned to the islands every year since his first visit over a decade ago.
"This is an amazingly talented group of people who continue to play a big part in putting Hawai'i on the map as a culinary destination," shared Chef Lee Ann Wong. "It's a great feeling to work alongside such a strong team and I look forward to wowing guests with our new menus!"
Chef Wong, a guest chef since 2015 under the airline's former Executive Chef Chai Chaowasaree, currently oversees meals on inbound international flights. She graduated from the International Culinary Center, formerly known as the French Culinary Institute, and began her culinary training at Marcus Samuelsson's Aquavit before playing an integral role in the opening of Jean Georges Vongrichten's Chinese concept, Restaurant 66. Wong gained national attention when she appeared on Season One of Bravo's flagship series "Top Chef." She later became the series' supervising culinary producer for the next six seasons.
Former guest chefs have included Jon Matsubara, Andrew Le of The Pig & The Lady, and Sheldon Simeon of Tin Roof Maui.

The kinetics of elementary reactions of H, H2, and H2O species with electronically excited CO(triplet Π state) is theoretically studied using the multireference second-order perturbation theory. The corresponding thermodynamically and kinetically favored reaction pathways are identified. It has been revealed that the reactivity of CO(a3Πr) to these small H-containing species is much higher than that of the ground state CO(X1Σ+) molecule. Appropriate thermal rate constants for specified reaction channels with CO(a3Πr) are calculated using the Rice–Ramsperger–Kassel–Marcus theory-based master equation approach and the capture approximation. The obtained temperature-dependent rate coefficients can be incorporated into the future kinetic submechanisms aimed to describe the CO(a3Πr−X1Σ+) ultraviolet flame chemiluminescence. The corresponding Arrhenius-type expressions are reported for a wide temperature range (T=200−3000 K), relevant to atmospheric and combustion chemistry.

The pool is below the road close to tidemark not far from farm Hörgshlíðarbær. The pool is molted and measures as follows 2.15×6.3×0.8 = 11 m3. The water comes from three hoses but one has cold water, which is used to cool off the pool. The temperature is 40 °C. At the end of the pool there is a small changing facility with 8 hangers and 12 nails to hang up peoples clothes. This pool attracts many visitors even tens of people per day.
You have to talk to the farmer in Hörgshlíð before you bath.


For many brats, that song might describe base quarters, and perhaps even the houses we lived in off base. As military brats, we have all lived in different kinds of houses. I was thinking back to all the houses I lived in as a brat, and there were a variety of kinds and styles.
In Japan, we lived on Shiroi Air Force Base. I was very young when we lived there, in a two storied house. I fell down the stairs one Sunday and busted my forehead open. it was right at Sunday dinner time, and my parents had company. Dad had to take me to the ER for stitches. Because I was so young, I don't remember much about the house.
I remember the stairway, two huge bedrooms, a dining room, a kitchen, a living room . . . typical house. The main thing I remember about living in that house is our maid, Tomi. She was very sweet and so good to me.
At Carswell Air Force Base, there was a long wait for base quarters, and my parents did not want to sign a rental lease or buy a house because they knew we would not be there for long, so we lived in a trailer for a short time.
From Carswell we moved to Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi Mississippi. There we lived in Wherry housing. The housing was, like most base quarters, duplexes. The wall heater in the bathroom was back to back with the wall heater in the bathroom next door. The little boy who lived next door and I would sit on the floor next to the heaters and talk through them. Our words came through to each other loud and clear.
There was also a laundry room in the back of the house with an old wringer style washing machine. Many of the brats on this site are too young to remember those.
When dad got orders to India, they packed our household goods 3 or 4 months before time for us to leave because they had to go by ship…..so we lived in a furnished apartment in an old pre-WWII barracks building. if I remember correctly. there were four apartments in the barracks, two upstairs and two downstairs. We lived upstairs. I thought nothing of living in an old barracks. it seemed quite normal to me.
There was no base in India. It was embassy duty in the Air Attache office. so no base quarters, no PX, no commissary, none of the things you usually find on bases/posts. We lived in a walled compound with three other American families. At the back of the compound were servant's quarters. I was the only American child in the compound, so I had no one to play with.
Maybe that is why I became such an avid reader. My parents had a large library of books. We could not get children's books in English, so I read my parent's books. They had a lot of classics. When dad would go TDY he would bring me back a supply of Enid Blyton's children's books.
The houses in the compound had screened verandas the width of the house across the front. The gardener would hang what was called cuss cuss on the screens in the summer. It was some kind of grass woven into sheets. He would hose them down, and when a breeze blew through, it would cool the veranda.
The houses had no window screens, just bars. If you opened a window on a hot evening, all kinds of critters would make their way in . . . geckos, spiders, etc, which freaked me out, of course. I was 6 to 8 years old in that house, and I was afraid a gecko would fall off the ceiling into my bed. They would walk upside down on the ceiling.
After India, dad got orders back to Keesler. We lived off base that time, in a house with a screened in porch not far from the beach. It was not a big house, but was comfortable. Like most of the houses in Biloxi at that time, the house was not air conditioned. Instead, there was an attic fan. It would pull in cool air through the windows, since there was always a breeze coming off the water. It never got uncomfortably hot. the house did not have central heat either. It had a floor furnace in the main hallway in the center of the house.
After Keesleer, dad got orders to England. That was in 1957. We lived in a house on the economy while waiting for quarters on base. It was a typical English house of that era, what we would call a two story duplex, The British called them semi-detached houses. They were mostly all the same, with a dining room, kitchen and living room downstairs, and two bedrooms, a bathroom, and what the British call a box room upstairs. The box room was about the size of a big walk in closet. The houses in England at that time did not have closets. You had to use wardrobes and armoires.
We had no central heat . . . just fireplaces, one in each room except for the box room and bathroom. My parents supplemented the fireplaces with a couple of kerosene heaters downstairs. At that point, we lived in the north of England, in the city of Warrington, which is not far from Liverpool.
The other kind of quarters at RAF Burtonwood were what was known as Tobacco housing, because they were paid for with tobacco taxes. They were like a single story ranch style house in the States.
After a year in the quonset hut, dad got orders to London, so we moved again. In London, we lived off base. There was no base housing at Bushy Park . . . just a club, a DODDS school, and several military buildings. We lived on the economy there in a little village called Stanwell Moor. Many British people named their houses. Ours was called Coldstream, because the owner of the house was in the British Army and was a Coldstream Guard.
This was, I think, my favorite house I lived in as a brat. The house was on the very edge of the village, surrounded on two sides by a big wheat field. There were woods across the street, where my English friends and I played all the time. Mostly, though, I rode horses. I knew how to ride western, but while living in England, I learned to ride with an English saddle. Living in that house was a happy year for me. I was in the 8th grade at Bushy Park (London Central).
Dad got orders back to Keesler when we left England. At first we lived off base just a block from the beach. My now husband, Terry, lived across the street. That is how we met when we were 14 years old, 50 years ago this summer.
After a year in that house, we moved into base quarters. They were old even then, and were called The White Houses. They looked like cottages. I loved living in that house. It was in a good location, between the beach and the Back Bay. We ended up in Capehart housing at Keesler until dad retired.
Terry and I went back to Biloxi for our 45th high school reunion last October, and we went on Keesler. I barely recognized it, it had changed so much. All the old barracks had been torn down and replaced with modern structures. The base housing was new, too. A lot of damage was done during Katrina to the entire Gulf Coast.
I lived in all kinds of quarters and houses on the economy as a military wife in England, the Azores, and various US locations, but that is another blog.
Each of the houses I lived in as a brat helped to shape me. Each was a shelter, a safe place. My mother did her best no matter where we lived to make each house as homey as possible, and I did the same thing as a military wife.
Although we brats grow up feeling like nomads, we did not have the degree of continuity that nomad children have. When nomads move, the entire tribe, consisting of immediate family, extended family and friends move all together, so that the collective memories remain intact. They take their homes with them, usually tents, like the Mongols, bedouins in the Arab countries, and the Massai in Africa.
We did not take our extended families and friends with us when we moved, just our immediate family. We did not take our homes, just our household goods. Mary Edwards Wertsch, in her book, Military Brats, does a wonderful job explaining the differences between brat life and the lives of nomads, and the psychological impact that way of life has on us.
Our unrooted childhoods, the foreign cultures we lived in, our brat friends, and the houses we lived in, all helped to shape who we are, and why we are the way we are. I am happy to have lived my life as a brat and thankful for life's lessons learned along the way.
I really enjoyed your story about your life as a brat. I was also a brat and also went to school at Bushy Park, 4th grade, in 1955 or 1956. Feel free to send me an e-mail if your interested. To this day I still feel a kindred spirit with others that lived the life of an Air Force brat. I still remember the week long sailings across the North Atlantic. Thanks for the story, hope to hear from you.


As students, our failure to act in unity has cost us greatly in terms of community college funding.
California community colleges may lose up to $525 million, according to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's proposed 2008-09 state budget.
Community college enrollment is rising, especially at Pierce College, yet the amount of money we receive from the state is plummeting.
Proposition 92, which would have decreased tuition by 25 percent, would have also guaranteed community colleges a fixed portion of the budget, separate from K-12.
Also, it would have placed limits on the legislature's ability to raise unit fees.
More than 130,000 students are being educated by the Los Angeles Community College District, which is the largest of its kind in the United States.
However, despite extremely high enrollment rates, compared to UC and Cal State schools, our funding is second class.
The proposition was denied by 57 percent of voters.
If more community college students had been involved in the state budget crisis, this proposition may have been passed.
Our district will never improve in the ways we want it to unless we fight for our own stability.
There is strength in numbers when decisions involving community colleges are concerned. Although Pierce may only be a stepping stone to reach our educational goals, thousands will be in our shoes in years to come.
It is important that we secure for others what we are leaving behind.
Pierce President Robert Garber, on his own time, raised funds to support and protect community colleges by encouraging citizens to vote yes for Proposition 92.
One man did so much to bring the budget issue into visibility, yet our student body, consisting of 20,000, did not raise any funds to support the proposition.
We should be active and passionate about receiving proper funding for our education.
The state budget is complicated. With a labyrinth of numbers in constant fluctuation, yet seeming to spiral downward, the end result is anything but clear.
The timing could not have been worse for such a large deficit. Enrollment is increasing while funding is decreasing.
If community college students do not step up to the plate and support our system, we will be left in the shadows of UC and Cal State funding forever.
Let's not give up on this struggle to receive our share of the state budget. We have to fight for our rights or they will be silently taken from us.


Washington DC: Blue eyes are not always the epitome of beauty as a new study has suggested that blue-eyed people are usually addicted to drinking alcohol.
Researchers at University of Vermont analysed the data of 10,000 northeastern Americans who were diagnosed with at least one psychiatric illness, and found a high rate of alcohol dependency among blue eyed European-Americans.
According to Huffington Post, eye color may be genetically relevant in predicting alcohol dependency because the genes that determine eye color line up along the same chromosome as genes related to excessive alcohol use.
The researchers also mentioned that the results can't be generalized as personal choice and addiction plays a vital role at the end.
The study is published in the July issue of American Journal of Medical Genetics: Neuropsychiatric Genetics (Part B).


First, for the isolated washing off-line, the quality is different from the performance, the quality is said to be its failure rate, the service life of the long, and its performance is the washing production performance is good or bad. So, the performance is not necessarily good quality. and other users know, the isolation of the quality of off-line washing, depending on the material selection of sophisticated, manufacturing process precision, production equipment, such as the excellent situation.
Second, the isolation of the quality of offline washing determines the durability of the use, and for consumers, most of them want to buy a better quality of the segregated cleaning offline. In that case, in view of the current market situation, the isolation of the quality of washing off-line which brand is good?
Third, so for the isolation of the quality of the off-line which brand is good to say, we have to go through a constant comparison to learn. This comparison has the factory production strength comparison, each brand product parts selection, the Production craft application difference and so on. such as parts selected, inverter, motor, bearings, water seals, valves these components are all separate parts of the necessary to wash off-line, and for these components, the main difference is to look at the supplier, for example, the same power of the inverter, the import brand is more sensitive than our domestic brand response, Lower failure rates and longer service life.
Four, again for example production process application, the current isolation washes off-line mostly uses the entire suspension structure, but the actual assembly of different manufacturers, but there is a great difference, some manufacturers only use ordinary springs, and some manufacturers are using spring Gartini damping mode, and then, for example, each type of isolation washing off-line to enhance its stable fixed, will be used counterweight, Some manufacturers use the cast iron, and some manufacturers are using concrete.
Five, so two products in the quality of natural will have a greater difference.
Again, for example, in the application of production equipment, for the isolation of washing offline, whether it is the casing or the inner cylinder, or the fuselage frame is the factory welded assembled, so that the sophisticated production equipment will be produced by the precision of the processing of parts and components, as a common example, the same inner cylinder, One-time molding and dynamic balance detection is more smooth, more stable and better quality than manual welding and not detected.

The Lax Kw'alaams and Why Property Rights Matter
By Peter Van Doren
The New York Times recently reported that the Lax Kw'alaams Band, an indigenous tribe in a remote part of British Columbia, has rejected a $1 billion offer for their consent to the construction of a natural gas processing facility that would service a nearby liquefied natural gas terminal. The group, which has about 3,600 members, would have received the equivalent of about $277,000 per person to allow the plant. The leader of the group explained their decision by saying, "Hopefully, the public will recognize that unanimous consensus in communities (and where unanimity is the exception) against a project where those communities are offered in excess of a billion dollars, sends an unequivocal message this is not a money issue: this is environmental and cultural."
In normal market transactions, resources flow to those who value them the most regardless of who owns them initially. In this case, that would imply the decision to build the facility (whether now or in the future) does not depend on whether the Lax Kw'alaams Band or the gas company owns the land. Ownership simply determines who has to pay whom in order to develop the land or leave it undeveloped. If the gas company owned the land, they would not have to pay the tribe in order to develop the plant, but the tribe could purchase the land (or, at least, an anti‐development easement) from the gas company in order to keep it undeveloped. If the tribe owns the land, the gas company would have to pay or the land would stay undeveloped. In both cases, development would occur if the gas company values the land more than the tribe.
That's the general theory, but in this particular case the facts suggest that initial property rights do matter. In the case of the Lax Kw'alaams, the group places great value on keeping the land from being despoiled by a natural gas plant. A decade or so ago, the Canadian Supreme Court determined that tribes like the Lax Kw'alaams must be consulted and accommodated if projects cross their land. The tribe clearly has strong preferences for a pristine environment, and has made the choice to forgo a windfall to maintain it.
But what would have happened if the property rights belonged to someone else? If the party given the right had weaker environmental preferences, the terminal would likely be built; it's doubtful the Lax Kw'alaams would win (or perhaps even enter) a bidding war with the gas company over control of the land. Because participants in environmental policy disputes "know" that property rights matter in this way, they fight politically over who has the current property rights rather than allow rights to exist and be traded.

Q: c# How can I get max row counts on ListView on screen I want to make a bulletin board using listview because I have too many row to show.
When I use the Listbox in C#
I can get single Item height and Listbox height , so I can calculate max row count using these. total row counts.(Listbox height / single item height = max row counts)
But in listview there's no item height, so I can't get the max row counts of it. Is there any way to get total row counts?
(Not the total registered listview item counts, but the max displayable item counts. Sorry for my bad expression.)

A: maybe C# Change ListView Item's/Row's height can be help you.
ImageList's height can be applied for each row's height.

Pets and Taxation Are We Paying too Much?
I recently posted up a small piece on our COAPE Facebook site about taxation and pets and the interest and debate it generated was phenomenal. It was even shared by a well-known dogs magazine and taken up in the veterinary press. So, for this blog, I thought you would enjoy an expanded version of that post.
A while ago, my lovely Springer, Mack was admitted into the intensive care unit (ICU) at Glasgow University Veterinary School, due to an obstructing abscess the size of a tennis ball above his larynx. He was there a few days and subsequently made a full recovery. The bill came to about £4,000. £800 of this was VAT, or value added tax, currently 20%. This got me thinking about a hypothetical question –
Should we be paying VAT on pets, given what they contribute to society?
In this post I want to explore a few ideas around this. First, by looking at the origins and the scope of VAT today, then by looking at the worth of the pet industry, and finally looking at what pets contribute back to society, not only in terms of psychological well-being, but in terms of hard cash too.
A short history of VAT
Value Added Tax came into being in the UK (it has existed in France since the 1950's) in 1973 during the Heath government, as one of the conditions of the United Kingdom joining the European Economic Community (EEC). Before VAT came along goods were taxed through the Purchase Tax System, where the tax rate varied according to how 'luxurious' the goods were deemed to be. VAT is a mandatory system of taxation for all member countries of the EEC and must be charged on all goods and services.
Brussels does allow different rates for different kinds of goods and here in UK we currently have three rates –
a zero rate at 0% on books, magazines etc., human food, children's clothes, medicines and health care, food and products for animals used for human consumption, construction industry, charity sales,
a reduced rate at 5% on utilities such as telephone, gas and electricity
and a 20% rate that applies to everything else.
The 0% rate is an oddity that is unique to the UK and not actually allowed under the EEC regulations. The UK was given a 'temporary' dispensation to use it, and although it has remained like this since we joined the EEC, this could be removed at any time. There is also an 'exempt from VAT category', which applies to services such as medical care by doctors, dentists etc., burials, charity fundraising, parking charges, etc. (See Her Majesty's Customs and Excise (HMRC) website for a very clear account of VAT.)
When it comes to food, there are some farcical anomalies that have arisen over its definition.
As far as the government is concerned, food is deemed an essential item and it therefore carries the 0% VAT rate.
On the other hand, snacks are deemed non-essential so they carry the full 20% VAT rate.
Now here's the thing, if you buy a bag of shelled almonds to make a cake, they are classified as a food and so the 0% of VAT applies.
However, If you buy a bag of almonds that have been roasted and/or salted, they are classified as a snack and so the 20% VAT rate is applied.
Here is what it says on the HMRC website –
Meaning of 'nut'
"We interpret the word nut in its usual everyday meaning, rather than using a strict botanical definition. Included are peanuts, cashews, walnuts, pecans, almonds, chestnuts, brazils, hazelnuts, cobnuts, pistachios and macadamia nuts. All are zero-rated unless roasted or salted and sold out of their shells."
A cake is classified as a food (0 VAT), while chocolate is classified as a snack (20% VAT). But what happens when you combine these 2 food types, such as in a Jaffa Cake? HMRC argued that Jaffa Cakes are snacks, while lawyers for the manufacturer argued that they were food. In this case, the lawyers won. There are many other similar examples, for instance what tax is applied to the same take-away food if it's served warm or cold – just look up the 'Pasty Tax' furore that occurred in 2012.
The value of the UK pet industry
There are approximately 63 million people in the UK today and in approximately one in four UK households there is at least one dog and/or one cat. According to the 2013 PDSA Animal Wellbeing Report (PDSA, 2013), available on their website, the UK population of pets is estimated to be 7.8 million dogs, 9.5 million cats and 1 million rabbits. The Pet Food Manufacturers Association (PFMA, 2013) continues with estimates of 1 million caged birds, half a million guinea pigs, half a million hamsters, 400,000 horses and about 1 and a half million other 'exotics' including rats, mice, gerbils, lizards, snakes, tortoises and turtles, etc.
Here are some facts and figures to ponder –
As a nation we spend an average of £87 million a week on our pets making the pet industry as a whole worth an estimated £4.7 billion a year here in the UK, and a staggering $43 billion in the United States.
To put this into some context, in the UK the recreation and culture industry is worth £117 billion, restaurants and hotels £103 billion, food £98 billion, clothes and shoes £59 billion, cosmetics £15 billion, the music industry £3.5 billion, books £3.5 billion and cameras £500,000.
£4.7 billion worth of sales a year is a sizable sum, and this raises £1.6 billion for the government in tax.
Owning pets also saves the government money by reducing costs of the UK National Health Service (NHS) by an estimated £1.4 billion a year.
Adding the £1.6 billion raised in tax and the £1.4 billion saved from government spending gives us a figure of £3 billion. Now convert this figure into a 9 year Economic Cycle and we have £27 billion – this number is not far off 1p on the basic rate of income tax (ProPets, 2009)!
When it comes to VAT law relating to the sale of animals things do become rather convoluted (see HMRC, Animals and animal food, 2014) –
Domestic animals used for producing goods for human consumption such as meat, milk, eggs, wool etc. are zero-rated.
Honey bees are zero-rated.
'Exotic' meats, however such as kangaroo are standard-rated.
Most animals kept as pets are standard-rated, except if they are species normally used in producing goods for human consumption, for example a pet sheep, or an ordinary, none-ornamental rabbit.
An exception here is food-producing animals taken out of the human food chain on health grounds, these animals lose their zero-VAT rating.
What about VAT law and animal feeds?
HMRC state that "most food that is to be fed to animals is zero-rated", but then they continue with a long list of exceptions that in reality means that most animal food is standard-rated.
Zero-rated food items include feeds used by farmers, raw meat, offal and fish (as long as it is not held out for sale as pet food) and working dog food that is not biscuit or meal (i.e. cereal-based, dry mixer, 'Bonios' etc.).
The definition of 'working dog' is very clear and includes dogs of any breed that herd sheep, that are trained and used as gun dogs and racing greyhounds that actually run races.
The definition of 'working dog' has nothing to do with breed.
Strangely, guide dogs for the blind are not considered as working dogs by HMRC. In 2012 David Blunkett, then Labour MP and well known for his own guide dog, Cosby, lobbied the Chancellor, George Osborne to zero-rate VAT on food for Guide Dogs. He was not successful.
For all animals including farm animals and pets, the cost of veterinary treatment and veterinary medicines is subject to the standard rate of 20% VAT. The only exception here are charities registered with the Charities Commission. These charities need to show their vet a certificate confirming that HMRC allows them a zero VAT rate for the costs of veterinary care and medicines.
Who, ultimately ends up paying all this VAT?
Businesses registered for VAT, which will include veterinary practices and most commercial farmers, suppliers etc. claim back the VAT they pay on the goods they buy so the VAT is passed down the chain of sale until it reaches the end consumer – you and me! But is this really fair for all pet owners? What about the dogs and other animals that bring enormous benefit to society?
We've been owning pets for hundreds of years and many writers have written scathing articles about how much money and time owning pets wastes. The discovery that pets actually save money by improving health is a relatively recent one.
Coronary heart disease is a stress related disease that kills more than 7 million people per year world-wide. A study carried out in 1980 (Friedmann et al., 1980) looking at survival rates of patients a year after being treated for a heart attack found that those who did not owned a pet were three times more likely to be dead. The reason for this, the researchers argued, must be because having a pet to walk and look after improved the mental wellbeing of these patients, making it less likely that they had another heart attack. This is the first time that such a link between pet ownership and human health had been considered, and since the 1980's there has been a great deal of research done on what we now call Animal Assisted Interventions.
Two theories have been put forward to explain the science behind why pets have this positive effect on our own health and wellbeing ((Beck, 2003)) –
The social support hypothesis. The social support hypothesis, as the name suggests, is linked to our need for attachment to and engagement with others, we are a highly social species after all. Our natural tendency is to seek companionship at many different levels from getting married to joining organisations such as clubs and religious institutions. Pets can offer some of us a socially acceptable and desirable surrogate, this might be especially important for the socially isolated such as some elderly people, those living in remote areas etc.
The biophilia hypothesis. The biophilia hypothesis suggests that our early ancestors evolved with an innate predisposition to look out for signs of animals while on hunting expeditions as this increased the chances of a successful kill. There is a contradiction here, however (see Joye, 2011 for detailed arguments against the biophilia hypothesis). If we evolved an innate desire to creep up on animals and harm them, how did this turn into a desire to love them and protect them from harm?
An Animal Assisted Intervention
An Animal Assisted Intervention (AAI) is the intentional inclusion of living animals as part of a therapeutic or ameliorative intervention regime (after Serpell, 1996). The ultimate goal of an AAI is to improve the quality of life of the recipient at some level. An AAI could take the form of enabling individuals to interact with animals in social, recreational or educational ways such as children being taken on farm visits, or dogs being taken into a care hospice. In such cases, the AAI would be called an Animal Assisted Activity (AAA). Where pets are selected because they meet specific criteria as part of a goal-directed treatment plan, the AAI is called an Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT). The main difference between an AAA and an AAT is that the outcomes of the latter are recorded and measured along with the other components of the treatment plan. For AAA's the outcomes are not formally assessed and measured (SCAS, 2014).
The value of AAI's has been shown time and time again in many different areas of medicine and social care, including long-term illness and hospital stays, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, obesity, autism spectrum disorder and child abuse.
Why does the Government's definition of 'working dog' remain so stubbornly narrow?
"Faces that were once sad, lonely and filled with despair brighten dramatically as a white German Shepherd, a therapy dog named Snowball, comes lumbering down the quiet, antiseptic hospital corridor. Gone are the children's thoughts of pain and suffering. In the place of tears and cries are giggles and smiles. Animal assisted therapy has enhanced the children's ability to progress toward physical and psychological wellness. Scenes such as this one are being repeated all over the country. Therapy dogs are a daily sight in health care programs for children in the United States. From long-term care facilities to children's hospitals to intensive care units, therapy dogs are being incorporated into patient treatment plans. Why make canine visitors part of health care programs for children? Simply stated, companion animals offer something that humans cannot—companion animals provide unconditional love and emotional support." (Jalongo et al., 2004).

A new major office campus has been proposed for an industrial site just northeast of SkyTrain's Production Way-University Station.
A pre-leasing listing by CBRE shows plans for a multi-building office campus at 3100 Production Way, a vast 19-acre site currently occupied by warehousing and storage facilities. The project, designed by ZGF Architecture, is being developed by Blackwood Partners.
Site of 3100 Production Way, Burnaby. (ZGF Architecture / Blackwood Partners / CBRE)
The first phase of the project being listed calls for two towers, with the 10-storey West Tower totalling 178,400 sq. ft. of office space and the nine-storey East Tower with 160,000 sq. ft.

"Large open floor plates allow for maximum efficiency and tenants will benefit from exterior spaces and amenities," reads the listing.
Altogether, there will be 341,000 sq. ft. of office space and over 14,000 sq. ft. of ground-level retail and restaurant space.
If the first phase is approved, it could be ready for occupation by the third quarter of 2023.
The site is a transit-oriented development site, not only because of its adjacency to the SkyTrain station but also because it will be next to the base terminus station for the future SFU gondola public transit line. However, the precise routing of the gondola towards the peak of Burnaby Mountain has yet to be decided.

How to Choose Internet Provider in Uganda?
Today in Uganda Internet providers are many. All of them access the Internet in different ways through different mediums. As, a result, their rates also vary. Some companies may have expensive& outdated ways of accessing the Internet and this directly affects the price at which they sell the Internet access. Having some prior knowledge about Uganda internet providers is important. Let us start with the mediums, Internet provides deploy to get connected to the Internet. They have different choices like modems, broadband, DSL, etc. Futhermore, the modems may also vary like Dial ups, cable modems, etc. Forgetting about the prices, the speed of Uganda Internet access also depends on the type of medium. Like Dial up is the lousiest of all, it is super slow. Plus, it needs a phone line dedicated exclusivelyfor your PC inorder to access the Internet. On the other hand ,there is DSL which is ofcourse faster than dial up and it does not require a dedicated phone line as it can be managed with an existing phone line. However, broadband is a high speed option available for which you do not even need a phone line.
In Uganda internet options are many and the good news is we have a couple of reliable providers of Internet Uganda. Before you choose an internet provider you need to decide few of the things like: How much are you willing to spend? So far Dial up is the cheapest option, despite of it being complicated and slow. Broadband is definitely very much fast but it is very expensive. Additionally, broadband functions smoothly unlike the DSL and dial up. Both the DSL and dial ups can have frequent interruptions.
What type of plan do you want?
Usually the plans are sold out based on data consumptions. It can range from few megabytes a day to unlimited usage. So make sure you subscribe for a plan that do not exceed or exceeded your usage pattern. Some providers also have an option to pay per kilobyte of usage but it is generally limited and ends up being more expensive. So always opt out for plans rather than pay per usage.
Does your provider give you free technical support?
Always choose a provider who readily offer free technical support. If your provider does not give you this, go for some other provider. Plenty of reliable provider of Internet Uganda,there is no need to compromise with a less efficient one. What about special discounts and offers? Some of the well established Internet providers in Uganda, offers and discounts both for fresh and dedicated customers. Keep checking for the offers never know when you could get lucky.
The payments can be made daily, weekly, monthly or even annually depending on the plan you choose. It can be pre-paid or post paid. Payment options are also plenty. Some of the providers even accept E-money. Otherwise, credit, debit or cash all are acceptable. Choose a payment method and plan to suit your budget.
These providers are internationally established and well reputed for their quality of service. In Uganda internet is popularized as a tool for information, education, research and fun. Already more than half of the country use it. So, why should you lag behind?

GAIP interacting protein C terminus (GIPC) is known to play an important role in a variety of physiological and disease states. In the present study, we have identified a novel role for GIPC as a master regulator of autophagy and the exocytotic pathways in cancer. We show that depletion of GIPC-induced autophagy in pancreatic cancer cells, as evident from the upregulation of the autophagy marker LC3II. We further report that GIPC regulates cellular trafficking pathways by modulating the secretion, biogenesis, and molecular composition of exosomes. We also identified the involvement of GIPC on metabolic stress pathways regulating autophagy and microvesicular shedding, and observed that GIPC status determines the loading of cellular cargo in the exosome. Furthermore, we have shown the overexpression of the drug resistance gene ABCG2 in exosomes from GIPC-depleted pancreatic cancer cells. We also demonstrated that depletion of GIPC from cancer cells sensitized them to gemcitabine treatment, an avenue that can be explored as a potential therapeutic strategy to overcome drug resistance in cancer.

What should be done about unemployment?
Four things Obama can do to stem further job losses in the worst labor market in 70 years
Check out this article! https://www.salon.com/2009/10/05/jobs_6/
October 5, 2009 10:06PM (UTC)
In his Saturday radio address, President Obama acknowledged the White House is exploring "additional options to promote job creation." It's about time. This is the worst job market in 70 years -- including the longest duration of steep job losses.
If anyone had any doubt that something far more dramatic must be done, listen to former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan. He warned Sunday against further stimulus because "we are in a recovery, and I think it would be a mistake to say the September numbers alter that significantly." Greenspan has turned into an inverse soothsayer. After his cataclysmic error about where the economy was headed before the meltdown, his views about the future should be carefully noted as being the exact opposite of what's likely to be in store.
The economy may be in a technical recovery, but this is not a real recovery, and the "green shoots" or "positive signs" that Wall Street cheerleaders love to shout about are phantoms of their ever-optimistic imaginations. The stimulus is working but it is far from adequate. Before the stimulus, we were losing more than 500,000 jobs a month. Now that 40 percent of the stimulus has been spent, we are losing more than 250,000 jobs a month.
What to do? With the debt ceiling approaching and the gravitational pull of the 2010 elections increasing, the White House can't go back to Congress with a formal bill to enlarge the stimulus package. Four simpler moves would be to:
(1) Use existing authority under both the stimulus package enacted earlier this year and the nefarious TARP bailout fund -- extending and combining them into a fund to make up for state and local cuts in public school budgets, children's health, public health (we need workers to administer swine flu vaccine) and public transportation. Instead of bailing out banks and giant automakers, we should switch to bailing out public services that average people need.
(2) Propose a one-year payroll tax holiday on the first $20,000 of income. Republicans as well as Blue Dog Dems could go along with this, and it would be a highly progressive tax cut since 80 percent of Americans pay more in payroll taxes than they do in income taxes.
(3) Give small businesses a "new jobs tax credit" for every net new job created over the next year. Granted, under normal circumstances this sort of jobs credit doesn't have much effect, and it's difficult to separate hires that would have happened anyway from net new ones. But we're not in normal circumstances; small businesses, which are responsible for most new jobs, still aren't hiring. They need a boost.
(4) Dramatically expand the Small Business Administration's lending programs and have the Fed buy up the SBA's debt. Big banks are not lending to small businesses. TARP has been an utter failure in this regard. The SBA and the Fed should circumvent them and help small businesses get the capital they need, so they can start hiring again.
The politics of these four steps aren't difficult. It would be hard to get a new stimulus package through Congress, but no member who's up for reelection next year when unemployment is likely to be in double digits wants to be accused by rivals of voting against steps to help small businesses, public schools, children's health, and average working people who need a tax cut.

The full names of the Saudi death squad allegedly responsible for the death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi have been released, including a prominent doctor famous for conducting seven-minute autopsies — the exact amount of time it reportedly took to kill and dismember the Washington Post columnist.
After initially denying any involvement in Khashoggi's killing, the Saudi government on Friday admitted that he was killed. As the BBC reported, Saudi state television reported that Khashoggi died in a "fight" and that 18 Saudi nationals were detained in response to the murder.
The same day, a separate report from the BBC named the 15 Saudi nationals who reportedly flew from Saudi Arabia just before Khashoggi disappeared. As the report noted, most of the men flew to Istanbul on two private jets hours before Khashoggi was scheduled to enter the consulate for paperwork needed to get married. The same group flew back to Riyadh later that same day.
Turkish officials believe all men are Saudi officials and intelligence officers, the report noted. The group allegedly includes 47-year-old Salah Muhammed A. Tubaigy, a forensic pathologist who completed a master's degree at the University of Glasgow in Scotland.
As the report noted, Tubaigy had previously given a newspaper interview where he described his ability to conduct autopsies in just seven minutes.
"In an interview, accompanied by a photograph of him wearing uniform, the doctor discussed a mobile laboratory that he had designed to allow pathologists to perform post-mortems in only seven minutes in order to quickly determine the cause of death of Muslims performing the Hajj pilgrimage," the BBC report noted.
That is nearly identical to the circumstances of Jamal Khashoggi's murder, the Mirror noted. Turkish intelligence officials said that the screaming journalist was dismembered while still alive, killed, and decapitated — all within a span of seven minutes.
Tubaigy was identified as the man recorded on video instructing other members of the group to put on headphones and listen to music while Khashoggi was dismembered. Reports indicated he was included in the group so Khashoggi's body could be dismembered and disposed. Saudi officials have not yet said where the journalist's body was laid to rest.
Despite some initial reports that Jamal Khashoggi was killed in an interrogation gone wrong, a source told the Middle East Eye that the team was sent to Istanbul specifically to kill the journalist. The names of the rest of the members of the alleged death squad can be found here.

Can you wear a backpack on your travels if you're not doing stereotypical backpacker things? We had a reader voice her concerns a while back, and it got me to thinking that others might be in the same boat of apprehension and worry.
I wanted to take this episode to have a quick chat about what's really important when choosing your luggage when you travel.
Recently, my husband and I traveled to Boston for a long weekend with only a backpack. My husband wasn't crazy about the idea at first. We're both in our early thirties and we usually travel with suitcases. But he defiantly changed his mind after a bus ride from the Logan airport to Boston's city center. The bus was jammed packed and it was over Labor Day weekend, so it was really hot and humid. It seemed like everyone had these large, massive suitcases. I watched as these individuals try to maneuver those suitcases on and off the bus while trying not to trample everyone in their path. At our stop, we're able to quickly get off and start exploring the city right away without making a special trip to our hotel to drop off our bags. I'll defiantly be packing a backpack for our next weekend trip to Washington D.C. in October. I've really enjoy being mobile with a lighter bag.
I definitely think there is an issue (at least for me) of judegment from other travelers. For me that basically comes during the research phase on websites and such. As I'd you should only travel or pack in the way the group at this site likes. Happened to me on a Rick Steves sitr because to them I was an overpacker cause I didnt want to wear paper underwear and use the soap for my body as my shampoo and conditioner (I have difficult hair). Honestly I love the information in my future trips section of Thorn tree forum, but I hate everything about the atmosphere/attitudes there. Like there is only one way to do anything–pack, lack of care what you look like, bathing optional while travelling. That is awesome if you want to travel that way, but no thanks for me!
There is an attitude out there that suitcase travelers are ruining the world and other cultures while backpackers are the 'true/real/only right way to travel' best.
Obviously neither of those things are true or at least not all the time. The way I feel about the attitudes I encounter (and which ones press my personal buttons) clearly show I am a suitcase person in my core, but I think I about to buy my first backpack for our upcoming Thailand trip.
To be honest my biggest roadblock in buying a backpack is not wanting to be identified with the backpacker attitudes that I dislike. When I recently realized that was SERIOUSLY my biggest roadblock to trying it out, my conclusion was similar to what you said in your podcast–who cares what other ppl think.
When I was still living in the US and working in insurance, I brought my backpack on a few business trips. My boss gave me a weird look and laughed, and I did feel a little weird wearing a suit and a backpack, but I didn't really care. It's how I was comfortable traveling, and none of the clients we were meeting with ever saw that I had a backpack instead of a rolling suitcase. Go with what works for you and don't worry about other people's potential judgement.

Calatagan
Letter of Appeal to General MacArthur on Behalf of the Major Phillips Unit, Oct 46
The Major Phillips Unit was a guerrilla unit that was founded and operated in or around western Batangas town of Calatagan. It was commanded by one Emilio Macabuag and took its name from a United States Army intelligence officer from whom the guerrilla outfit took directions until the latter was caught and killed by the Japanese. In this document1 frustrated by the non-favorable decision by the United States Armed Forces in the Western Pacific's Adjutant General's Offce stationed in the Philippines on the Major Phillips application for official recognition, Macabuag wrote directly to General Douglas MacArthur in Japan.
HEADQUARTERS MAJOR PHILLIPS UNIT
Philippine Islands
TO : APPEAL FOR RECONSIDERATION OF THE DECISION OF
AFWESPAC ON "MAJOR PHILLIPS UNIT"
: GENERAL OF THE ARMIES DOUGLAS MACARTHUR
CG, AFPAC
1. A letter dated 12 August 1946 from AFWESPAC rejecting the request for recognition of [the] "Major Phillips Unit" was received by the undersigned.
2. Appeal for reconsideration was made based on the following:
(a) That the Unit is a bona fide guerrilla organization and not fake as insinuated in the letter of rejection. Competent witnesses could attest to this. The inhabitants of the region or zone of operation of this unit may also be asked about the standing of the Unit. This Unit was even approved and attached to his party by Major L. H. Phillips who came from GHQ, SWPA on 22 October 1943 and landed by submarine on Paluan, Mindoro on 13 November 1943. From the time of attachment to Major Phillips until the surrender of Japan, the Unit was maintained in active operation against the enemy.
(b) That the investigation about my Unit was not comprehensive enough to properly evaluate the real activities of the Unit.
(c) That there was apparently a misrepresentation discriminatory to my Unit leading to a misconception about my claim. The letter itself implied that I was making a false claim which is very bitter to swallow knowing that we had experienced hardships, miseries and sufferings in the performance of our duties. We had tasted the inhuman tortures of the beastly Japanese and others met death heroically but we were never cowed by them because our faith in American is unfailing. Being only a small Unit composed of men who had really served faithfully and being of the poor and the middle class, it was stampeded by big units who were rather dormant or unheard of during the occupation and had suddenly wakened up to the realization that they were guerrillas and deserve recognition. Our exclusive work like the operation and maintenance of the secret radio station at Cape Santiago under Major L. H. Phillips was even claimed by other units. Another unit has the temerity to claim my unit as only part of it. I am reiterating further that my unit was independent of any other unit although I had extended every possible cooperation and help to other units believing that we all belonged to the same army under your Excellency's command. [The] Major Phillips Unit was, in fact, supported and given supplies by Major Phillips and when he died and our supplies were exhausted, I found another means that maintained my Unit throughout the operation against the enemy. The claim, therefore, that my Unit was a part of another unit is preposterous and the allegation that I am making a false claim is
unjustifiable. With a firm conviction in American justice and fairness, I am appealing my case to your Excellency's office.
(d) That the five points enumerated in the letter as bases of rejection are unfair to us because, with the possible exception of letter "c," I had satisfied all the requirements. I did not meet requirement "c" simply because I did not know about those data that were needed. When I submitted the roster to AFPAC on 5 October 1945, I was not told of those items and I was only told to wait for further instructions or call, which I did. Had I been appraised of the requirements, I could have accomplished them. I submitted a roster in the same form that I had submitted to Major Phillips on 8 December 1943 and the truth was that I thought that that roster might have been kept and that was precisely why I did not at once work for my recognition. I became aware of the data missing from my roster when I received the letter of rejection. I can further say with conviction and will prove at any time that no unit that claimed to have operated in our region, whether recognized or claiming recognition, had fulfilled the requirements except letter "c" with the possible exception of Col. Mariano H. Cabarrubia's Combat Battalion and the ROTC HUNTERS at Cutad. A closer study of our true record and a comparison with the true activities of other units, I believe, may bring to light the real value and importance of what we had actually done. I am, therefore, presenting a rough outline of our activities, activities that were real and not lies.
1. That on or about the end of November 1943, while I was in Mindoro working with men of Gen. Peralta's Guerrillas under Lt. Col. Jurado, I made contact with Major L. H. Phillips and his party that had landed by submarine at Paluan, Mindoro. They came from GHQ, SWPA, leaving that headquarters on 22 October 1943 and landed at Paluan, Mindoro on 13 November 1943.
2. Major L. H. Phillips, head of the party, assigned me as his operative and asked for a company of selected and trustworthy men to work as intelligent-reception company. This company I selected from my Unit ad Calatagan, Batangas with members from Balayan and Calatagan. I submitted the roster of this company to Major Phillips and he formally recognized it on 8 December 1948. This company I named secretly as "Major Phillips Unit" in honor of that brave American.
3. Various intelligence missions were assigned to us covering Batangas and Manila and I made my first report to him on 28 December 1943. The missions covered both military and naval intelligence.
4. That a radio station was assigned to my Unit and it was established at Cape Santiago, Calatagan, Batangas. This station was operated by two members of Major Phillips party from SWPA, M/Sgt Benjamin Harder and S/Sgt Ramon Vitorio. The maintenance and security of the station were under my unit.
5. A fast courier service between Mindoro and Batangas was maintained by my Unit to ferry across the men, supplies and other important matters. This was done under the very nose of the Japanese. Through this
system, operatives both American and Filipino, men, arms and supplies and other equipment were transported to and from Mindoro. This service was maintained by my Unit until the Americans finally liberated the province of Batangas.
6. That we had helped and rescued four Americans from Batangas to Mindoro although one of them had the misfortune to be captured in Mindoro and was forced to reveal the location of our station at Calatagan and the CP and the mountain hideouts.
7. That I and some of my men had fought the Japanese at Manan-ao, Paluan, Mindoro when they raided our CP on February 1943, resulting in seventeen Japanese casualties and none on our side.
8. That my men were deployed in strategic places both in Batangas and Mindoro and the island of Talawtaw. These men remained in their posts and rendered services faithfully.
9. That I was captured by the Japs after the location of the station was revealed but I managed first to bring to safety the two operators. However, Sgt. Ramon Vitorio was captured by the Japs in Balayan. My men stationed at the station at Cape Santiago and at the secondary station at Mt. Hukay were captured and tortured. We were punished, tortured and every inhuman device of torment were applied to us but we never squealed. Two of my couriers were put to death.
10. That while I was in prison with some of my men, the rest continued the operation against the enemy under the able leadership of my ExO until I was released and took over the command again.
11. That, together with Sgt. Benjamin Harder and other members of the party of Major L. H. Phillips, I reported to Mindoro at the HQ of the new officer who succeeded Major Phillips, Lt. Commander George F. Rowe, known by his alias as Commander Nicholson. My men actively engaged in the maintenance of a new radio station at Mt. Luya near Balayan.
12. That all operatives, members of other units that conferred with the base at Mindoro passed at our HQ at Balayan or Calatagan and were transported by our courier service.
13. That we had made a thorough study of the Japanese positions, fortifications, armaments, supplies and other installations covering the region from Nasugbu to Lemery and indicated them in a detailed map that was delivered to Americans who landed by PT Boat at Cape San Pedrino on Balayan Bay. The American who received us was Sgt. Donald Ash. This was on 24 January 1945 and on 27 January 1945, our detail under Lt. Galvez encountered a Jap patrol at Talibayog and in the subsequent encounter, Lt. Galvez was killed.
14. That before the Americans landed, my men had already cut the telephone lines connecting the different garrisons of the Japs and, in some cases, had shot Japanese intelligence operatives.
15. That when the Americans finally landed, my men who were deployed in the field joined the combat unit nearest them in fighting the Japanese in open warfare. Thus, my men at Balayan joined the Combat Battalino of Col. Cabarrubia that liberated Balayan and defended it against repeated Japanese attacks. I led my men at Calatagan in mopping up operations when that town was liberated by the ROTC HUNTERS. When these combat units were processed at Camp Murphy, my men stayed behind knowing that they belong to another unit.
In the light of these things which I know favorably compare if not surpass the real activities of other units favorably considered, I decided to appeal to your Excellency's Office and I further reiterate that I am ready to face any investigation and prove all my statements.
3. Enclosed are true copies of certifications of Major Ricardo C. Galang, Ex O of [the] Major Phillips party, M/Sgt Benjamin Harder, one of the operators of the radio station and George F. Rowe, Lt. Commander, USNR, CO of the Base at Mindoro and successor of Major L. H. Phillips.

Preview | Wolves U23s v Swansea City U23s
3rd February 2022
Cameron Congreve wants Swansea City Under-23s to use the frustration of defeat to Millwall as motivation to start another unbeaten run against Wolves in the Premier League Cup on Friday (2pm).
Swansea had control of possession for most of the fixture against the Lions at Landore on Tuesday, but Millwall were the more clinical out of the two sides.
The Swans fell behind early, but Congreve equalised with a strike to remember from the edge of the box.
Millwall then netted the winner on the brink of half time after a loose pass led to Tyrese Briscoe's finish.
It was a first defeat in five games for Kris O'Leary's side and now the young Swans go in search of a first win in the cup competition this term, with Congreve determined to try and bounce back.
"I think we had probably 80 percent possession against Millwall and dominated the game for more or less the whole 90 minutes," said the 18-year-old.
"I think they had a little spell for 10 minutes, but I think we dominated for the majority of the game. It is deflating to not come away with the three points.
"It's frustrating for us but we have to channel those feelings into our preparations and performance in the next game."
Congreve's fine finish saw him back on the scoresheet, with the midfielder having had a promising run in front of goal earlier in the campaign.
But he was also disappointed that it was his pass that led to Millwall's winner in a tight contest.
And he knows dealing with those highs and lows will be an important part of his development.
"I was scoring a few before Christmas, but I had a spell which I just couldn't get it over the line. It was a good feeling to score," he added.
"It's a sense of relief and hopefully I can kick on and get some more now.
"On the other side, with their goal, I have just got to keep my head up and mistakes do happen, but I just have to try and minimise them as much as I can.
"It's unfortunate but I just have to keep my head up and keep going."
