Russia challenges WADA doping ban
You are now following the details of the Russia challenges WADA doping ban news and now we leave you with the details
Mohamed Nass - Cairo - Russia on Friday formally contested a four-year ban from major sporting events over doping violations that President Vladimir Putin has condemned as "unjust," the head of its RUSADA anti-doping agency said.
"In accordance with established procedure, today we have sent a package of documents to the World Anti-Doping Agency," RUSADA director general Yury Ganus told reporters in Moscow.
"The package contains a notice about disagreement with WADA sanctions."
Ganus, who has long argued for a major crackdown by Russia against doping cheats, warned that the legal challenge could backfire, however.
The formal statement of disagreement with WADA will trigger an appeal process against the ban at the Lausanne-based Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
Ganus, whose rigorous stance puts him at odds with his own government and supervisory board, argues that Moscow needs to accept the sanctions and own up to its faults in order to be able to reform.
He however said he was obliged to relay the position of the supervisory board.
He said he also sent a letter to WADA informing the anti-doping agency of his personal stance.
"I regret to inform you that all my attempts, including attempts to introduce changes to the RUSADA notice, have failed," said the letter.
Ganus told AFP on Thursday that "it is practically impossible" to contest the ban.
WADA this month banned Russia for four years from major global events, including the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, over manipulated doping data.
Under the sanctions, Russians will still be allowed to compete, but only as neutrals and if they can demonstrate that they were not part of what WADA believes was a state-sponsored system of doping.
Putin has called the sanctions politically motivated, indicating a lengthy legal battle loomed.
He argued that the majority of Russian athletes were clean and should not be deprived of the right to compete under the Russian flag due to the actions of some individuals.
'Considerable risks'
Ganus warned that contesting the doping ban could in fact make matters worse because CAS could make sanctions against Russia more severe.
"We are creating a platform for it. We themselves are creating risks," he said.
"First of all, it would be a public hearing," he said, adding that some officials could request that the Court of Arbitration for Sport toughen up rather than soften the punishment against Russia.
He referred to the position of United States Anti-Doping Agency chief Travis Tygart who has called for a blanket ban on Russian athletes at the Tokyo Olympics.
Tygart said that allowing "neutral" Russian athletes to compete at the Olympics in 2016 and 2018 had been ineffective.
"WADA must get tougher and impose the full restriction on Russian athlete participation in the Olympics that the rules allow," Tygart said in November.
Speaking to AFP on Thursday, Ganus said he had information that his British counterpart could also call for severe sanctions against Russia.
The suspension was handed to Russia over falsifying data from a doping testing laboratory that was handed to WADA earlier this year as part of a compliance re-instatement process.
The significant extent of state-sponsored doping in Russia, notably between 2011 and 2015, was revealed in an independent report by sports lawyer Richard McLaren, released in 2016.
The issue has dealt a colossal blow to the status of post-Soviet Russia as a major sports power after hosting events such as the 2013 World Athletics Championships, the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi and the 2018 World Cup.
The Sochi Games later became notorious for the number of doping violations by prominent Russian athletes.
The doping scandal has also divided Russian sports stars, with three-time world champion high jumper Mariya Lasitskene calling for sports officials to be held to account over the ban.

This case is part of the ongoing dispute between Ukraine and Russia concerning an alleged $3 billion loan made to Ukraine through the issuance of Eurobonds in 2013.
The Court of Appeal in this decision reversed the earlier decision by the Commercial Court (Mr Justice Blair). Mr Justice Blair dismissed Ukraine's objections to a summary judgment process and the Court granted summary judgment to LDTC in the sum of c. US$3 billion and interest. The Commercial Court decision is reported on here: http://www.foreignstatesinenglishcourts.com/2017/06/19/the-law-debenture-trust-corporation-p-l-c-v-ukraine-2017-ewhc-655-comm/
The Court of Appeal in overturning the decision of Mr Justice Blair held that Ukraine's defence of duress was justiciable. The Court of Appeal held that since international law sets out reasonably determinate standards of conduct applicable between States on the international plane that there was no reason why the English law of duress should not treat these standards as providing an appropriate test of illegitimate pressure in the present case. As such, the defence of duress could not be summarily dismissed using the summary judgment procedure and the defence of duress should be the subject of a trial.
Moreover, the Court of Appeal decided that Ukraine has a good arguable case that the public policy exception to non-justiciability has effect in this case so as to enable the case to proceed. The Court of Appeal held that English public policy recognises and gives effect to the "strong international public policy" incorporated in jus cogens norms of international law, which includes the prohibition on the use of force by States contained in Article 2(4) of the UN Charter.
The Court of Appeal decision is available here: http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2018/2026.html

Whatever the reason an organization has acquired a tangle of ITSM tools, the symptoms are the same: duplication of data, processes, admin, integration and upgrade efforts.
When you're running multiple IT management solutions, you're likely to be overspending on licenses. Typically, we find that customers consolidating their ITSM tools half their license spend. As a highly visible and quantifiable benefit, license savings are a clear-cut driver for consolidation in the eyes of the CEO and the CFO. Many legacy ITSM tools have complex licensing models (versus modern, all-inclusive models) which add up to a significant admin burden for the finance department.
Toolset sprawl is a form of waste, so a consolidation project is a classic waste-elimination exercise. Duplicated (and unplanned) maintenance, administration, integration, upgrade and security overheads consume budget and distract IT people from delivering real business value. Consolidation simplifies application management and eliminates large overheads, releasing time and budget for innovation.
Organizations with multiple ITSM tools don't get central visibility of what's happening across IT. With multiple systems in place, the job of aggregating and preparing data for analysis can be a complex and time-consuming task. The more data sources you have, the more difficult it is to make data-driven decisions. A consolidated solution can provide one-click access to business analytics covering the business perspective, technical level and everything in between—right out-of-the-box.
When different teams use different systems, they get different perspectives of IT and nobody sees the whole. Consolidation establishes a global view, eliminates the silo mentality, and re-orientates teams to focus on the performance of IT as a whole. When IT people see the bigger picture, it promotes a cultural shift which reduces conflict between teams.
Technology silos are also knowledge silos. Consolidating the information and knowledge that is fragmented across multiple systems means IT people waste less time solving problems when a solution already exists. Easy to access to knowledge is critical to getting things done fast, so an effective Knowledge Management system can quickly level-up productivity across your service delivery and support processes. Selecting a tool that supports Knowledge Centered Service (KCS) processes and enables contextual links between IT records and knowledge artefacts will help organizations leverage knowledge at scale to achieve greater performance.
Ensuring license compliance is never easy, but it is even more difficult in the aftermath of a merger or acquisition. With multiple IT management and service management applications in place, the risk of non-compliance is also multiplied. Consolidation reduces the number of applications which must be continually monitored for compliance (and defended in the event of a vendor audit), meaning licenses are used more efficiently.
In situations where multiple solutions are in place, vendor salespeople know that consolidation needs to happen sooner or later, so their approach can be polarized; either fighting hard to be the vendor that stays or resigned to the fact that another toolset will win out. After consolidation, the dynamic changes and a closer, more constructive vendor-customer relationship emerges. In the meantime, your accounts team will be bogged down with the added burden of negotiating renewals, verifying invoices and billing payments.

Both private practice and in-house counsel were interviewed, and the decisions taken by our editorial team were based on extensive research.
National firm awards are given to the firm with the best track record in 2016 giving local law advice on the most innovative cross-border deals – covering all award practice areas – from the country in question.

The "Gold Award" 2010 was presented on 3 June 2010 at a gala in Paris. The deciding factors were transaction advice in the past two years, the profile of the M&A-partners and M&A-teams on the market and the financial and personnel development of the entire law firm. The Benelux-jury included General Counsels of world leading groups such as Alcatel-Lucent, Disney, CIT or Technip as well as the general manager of the European Company Lawyers Association. They assess law firms in all important industrial and developing nations. The Awards Ceremony on 3 June recognised the best independent law firms for 28 categories from their domestic markets and countries.

Natural System of Wrangel Island Reserve
(Russian Federation)
Factors affecting the property in 2008*
Management systems/ management plan
Factors* affecting the property identified in previous reports
Lack of management plan
International Assistance: requests for the property until 2008
Requests approved: 0
Total amount approved : 0 USD
Missions to the property until 2008**
Conservation issues presented to the World Heritage Committee in 2008
When the property was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2004, the World Heritage Committee requested the State Party to urgently prepare a management plan and implementation strategy, and requested the World Heritage Centre and the Advisory Bodies to undertake a mission, in co-operation with the State Party, in 2006/2007 to report on the status of the management plan and review its implementation. The World Heritage Committee also encouraged the State Party to consider the extension of the marine component of this property by a further 12 nautical miles to strengthen protection of the marine biodiversity of the Wrangel Island Reserve.
There is no reported progress on these issues since the inscription of the property. The World Heritage Centre has requested the State Party to prepare and forward a copy of the necessary management plan, and provide a translation of it in French or English for review by the World Heritage Centre and IUCN. The State Party has not yet done this, nor indicated the date the plan will be completed. IUCN and the World Heritage Centre consider that the management plan should be urgently completed.
The potential marine extension of the property should also be addressed through the management planning process as a high priority. It is therefore suggested that the State Party should be requested to complete a plan, and to then invite the requested monitoring mission by the World Heritage Centre and IUCN. Given the seasonal constraints in arranging such a mission, it is suggested that this should take place in July or August 2009.
Decisions adopted by the Committee in 2008
32 COM 7B.26
Natural System of "Wrangel Island" Reserve (Russian Federation) (N 1023)

1. Having examined Document WHC-08/32.COM/7B,
2. Recalling Decision 28 COM 14B.14, adopted at its 28th session (Suzhou, 2004),
3. Regrets that there has been no reported progress made by the State Party in implementing the World Heritage Committee's decision at the time of inscription;
4. Requests the State Party to take the necessary steps to complete the management plan for the property as soon as possible, and send it in three copies to the World Heritage Centre and the Advisory Bodies for review, before the 33rd session of the World Heritage Committee in 2009;
5. Further requests the State Party to submit to the World Heritage Centre, by 1 February 2009, a progress report on the above issues, for examination by the World Heritage Committee at its 33rd session in 2009.
Draft Decision: 32 COM 7B.26
3. Regrets that there has been no reported progress made by the State Party in implementing the World Heritage Committee's decision at the time of inscription;
5. Also requests the State Party to invite a joint World Heritage Centre / IUCN reactive monitoring mission to review progress on the implementation of the management plan;
6. Further requests the State Party to submit to the World Heritage Centre, by 1 February 2010, a progress report on the above issues, for examination by the World Heritage Committee at its 34th session in 2010.

Sponsored Post: Telus STORYHIVE Offering $400K to Web Video Stars
Michael Kwan
The landscape for independent creativity has changed a lot in the last few years. Much of our favorite entertainment comes from Internet videos and video-on-demand type services. At the same time, the barrier to entry has been lowered, thanks to platforms like Kickstarter. Melding these two trends together is a fantastic initiative from the folks at Telus, one of Canada's largest telecom companies. It's called STORYHIVE and they want to give you thousands of dollars to realize your video-making dreams.
With the first season of STORYHIVE earlier this year, Telus helped to fund 20 short films that were then distributed on Optik TV On Demand and online. These films approached everything from world cycle touring tips to a Sharkasaurus thriller. With the second season, Telus and STORYHIVE want to build on that success by funding some fun web series content.
The online community will help select the top 30 finalists (15 each from BC and Alberta), each of whom will receive a $10,000 grant to produce a 3-8 minute web series pilot. That's the first stage. In the second stage, the finalists will pit their finished pilots against one another for a chance at a $50,000 grant to complete their full web series. One award of $50,000 will be given to the top project in each province and, as with the first season of STORYHIVE, these winning projects will then be distributed through Telus Optik TV On Demand.
They're totally open to whatever ideas you may have. How will you spend your $10,000 grant? On a new camera? Maybe some better sound equipment? What about lighting? If you're looking for some inspiration on how to get started, check out the pilot of the "How to Make a Web Series" web series below and hit up the STORYHIVE website for more details.

Q: Adding new line to top of Grid with data does not display prefilled values in non-editable columns (vaadin7) Let's say I load data into a Grid.  That works perfectly, everything is displayed.  I can see it just fine, even after I call editItem(objectId); to edit data for any given line in the Grid.
Then let's say I have a button that adds a new line with mostly empty elements.  In other words, the corresponding bean is mostly empty except for some default values.  For some reason this behaves weird when I call editItem(objectId);.  Here are the situations and their results:

*

*If column is editable (column.setEditable(true);), my default data displays just fine

*If column is not editable  (column.setEditable(false);), my default data does NOT display.  It is definitely in the bean, just not displayed.  I see it once I click "Save" or "Cancel" in the edit form.

*If I just show the line, do NOT enter the edit form (don't call editItem(objectId);), it display the default data just fine. I mention this just to point out what happens in the "display only" situation.

I even tried making the editField read only, and even that hid the data.  So what is happening?
Example of data being displayed (see circled red):

Figure 1: Non-Empty data, but editable column
Example of data NOT being displayed (see circled red):

Figure 2: Empty data inside edit form

Figure 3: Non-Empty data after clicking save.
Note that it does not matter if the column is a ComboBox or just a regular text element, if I make it non-editable, it will not show the value I put in that column on this new line until after I click Save or Cancel.
Here is how I load the list of beans initially, where gridContainer is defined as BeanItemContainer<T> gridContainer:
    public void updateList( List<T> dataList, T defaultData ) {
        updateList( dataList, defaultData, new GridLoader<T>() {

            @Override
            public void loadGrid(List<T> dataList) {
                gridContainer.removeAllItems();
                if( dataList instanceof List && !dataList.isEmpty() )
                    gridContainer.addAll(dataList);
            }
        });
    }

This works fine for non-editable columns, all data being displayed as expected.  My pictures sort of hide it, but it is displaying just fine, and works in edit mode just fine as well.
And here is how I add a new line:
    private void addRouting() {

And in GridComponent, we have addItemAt defined as follows (BTW, GridComponent just wraps a layout with a toolbar at top and a Grid for the data, and so exposes various methods I need from the toolbar and Grid):
    public BeanItem<T> addItemAt(int index, T bean) throws IllegalStateException {
        BeanItemContainer<T> gridContainer = getGridContainer();

        if(gridContainer instanceof BeanItemContainer)
        {
            /* Clear filter first because adding an item will break this.
             * TODO: Maybe restore prior filter with "saveLastFilter();" and then "reapplyLastFilter();" after "add"
             */
            saveLastFilter();
            clearFilter();
            BeanItem<T> newItem = gridContainer.addItemAt(index, bean);

            reapplyLastFilter();

            return newItem;
        }
        else
            throw new IllegalStateException("Missing bean grid container");
    }

Corporations in particular are aware of the problem: With increasing size and organizational complexity, it is becoming increasingly difficult to coordinate processes in such a way that everyone involved is transparent about the actions of others. This not only leads to inefficiency, since certain tasks may be completed several times, for example, but it can also lead to problems in the external presentation if different places communicate inconsistently. For example, when marketing advertises a product that the user has already bought. Or if a user who is no longer a customer is still receiving invitations for customer webinars.
This is not only amateurish, but can also annoy the user. For this reason, the maintenance of uniform databases plays a central role here. An important task is therefore to communicate consistently at each touchpoint. This also means taking up the communication of the previous touchpoint at each touchpoint and thus conducting a continuous dialogue along the customer journey.
For example, if the sales department, following personal communication, has brought the user up to the point of purchase, marketing can "help out" by means of targeted measures, e. g. mailings, which once again summarizes the most important arguments for the purchase.
A single customer view is required at each touchpoint. This requires a central data view, which can be accessed at any touchpoint and updated in real time as changes occur. To this end, data from all available sources (e. g. email marketing, CRM, sales and service) must be brought together in a central data view and technical processes established that allow for continuous real time synchronization between the database and data sources.

How but he had none, this is here

How does Willy Russelll use the songs to enhance the audience's understanding of the play 'Blood Brothers'? Blood Brothers is a play written by Willy Rusell as a school play in 1981. It was then developed into a full play/musical and performed for the first time at the Liverpool Playhouse in 1983. The musical features many songs that help to introduce the characters and set the scenes. The songs are sometimes also used to progress through the musical. One of these many songs starts on the first scene right after the narrator exits. Mrs. Johnstone sings it. In this song Mrs.
Johnstone describes her life before the story starts. The song is used to introduce one of the main characters Mrs. Johnstone. Throughout the song Mrs. Johnstone is compared to Marilyn Monroe, this is an extended metaphor for her life. She is considered to be like Marilyn Monroe because her life starts off well but after time it starts to deteriorate just like that of Marilyn Monroe's life. This song enhances the audience's understanding of the play by showing that Mrs. Johnstone's life has not treated her well, it helps the audience sympathise with Mrs. Johnstone.
This helps the audience understand more what Mrs. Johnstone is going through during the rest of the play. Also throughout the song Mrs. Johnstone and her husband "go dancing". This is an extended metaphor for her hope. When she first meets her husband they go dancing a lot because they have a lot of hope together. This is the same when they get married. In the song there is a line "An' though I still fancied dancing, my husband wouldn't go" she is saying that she still had hope for her and her husbands relationship but he had none, this is here to show the slow downfall of their relationship.
After they spilt up and there is 'No more dancing' her husbands meets another girl "who looks a bit like Marilyn Monroe" they go dancing together because there is hope for their relationship. The "we went dancing" is also picked up later on in the play, for example at the start of act 2 when Mrs. Johnstone is talking about Micky. She says, "He's even started dancing, secret dancing" Mrs. Johnstone is saying that Micky has started to secretly date girls, it has been written using the extended metaphor to say he has hope with these girls he is secretly dating. Also in act one Mrs.
Johnstone sings about the creditors coming to collect her possessions. This song is full of double meanings between the creditors and the fact that Mrs. Johnstone is giving her baby away to Mrs. Lyons. Such as when she sings "Then, I'm afraid, what can't be paid, must be returned" when she says this she is really talking about her baby and how she cannot afford to keep it so she must give it up. She also says, "Only for a time, I must not learn, to call you mine. " She is talking about how in the end she won't be able to pay for the items and they will be taken away and so she never really owns them.
The secret meaning of this of this is that she is giving her baby away so she will only know it for a while until it gets taken away from her by Mrs. Lyons. I think Willy Russell has done this to show the similarity between the giving up of her baby and the rest of her life; it's all the same. He's trying to show that Mrs. Johnstone cant own anything not even her baby because of the position she lives in. There is a song during act two called the summer song. It is a dramatic device used to show the progression of time. I believe the writer, Willy Russell, has done this to split the story in two.
The first half shows the boys growing up and living happily and the second half shows the start of their demise and eventual death. The language in this song is all implying what is going to happen to the brothers such as: "And only if the three of them could stay like that forever," this is here to show that things will change as indicated by "only if… " It also says: "They care not for what's at the end of the day. " This is trying to show that they are having fun unaware of what is going to happen to them. It is also trying to show their ignorance towards their fate.
Repeated throughout the play is a song sung by the narrator called "The Devil's Got Your Number". I think it is repeated throughout the play as a constant reminder of what is going to happen to the brothers. I don't think that Willy Russell wants you to forget that their lives are going to end. The song seems to be sung every time something happy happens to somebody, I also think this is because Willy Russell doesn't want you to forget the brother's fate. The narrator is portrayed as a kind of anti-hero, whenever he appears he is always darkening the mood.
The songs throughout the play affect the audience in many difference ways. For example the Marilyn Monroe song at the start is used to make the audience empathise with Mrs. Johnstone. The summer song is used to show the audience the brothers growing up and to show how happy they are at the time its showing. It's trying to make the audience feel empathy with the brothers as they are going to die. The songs also help us to understand what is happening in the story. If the song is about a tragedy the song will be slow with a lot of pauses.
Where as if the song is sung about something happy then it is usually fast paced with a lot less pauses. This helps you understand because without even listening to the words you can understand what is happening. The last song in the play I sung by Mrs. Johnstone. It's a very slow and emotional song. It shows Mrs. Johnstone going into denial about her two son's deaths. It really makes you feel sorry for Mrs. Johnstone. Overall the play wouldn't be the same without the songs. Willy Russell uses them to help you to understand the character feelings and help draw the story along.
Willy as Mrs Johnstone is financial insecure
The on the settee. She realises there
'Blood in the play does not last
He's three critical views as a starting point,
As dimmed. The seats were very close to
Willy uses a lot of slang and swear


So you've gone through the entire process of finding the right online casino for yourself. You've done your homework and everything is falling into place. The online casino has rave reviews in the industry, the software company that powers the site is exceptional and offers great games in one of the best portfolios around. You've test driven the customer support team and are happy with the results, the bonuses are top class and the security measures in place are exactly to your liking.
The only thing left to do now is register with the site, open up an online casino account and fund that account so that you can begin your great internet gambling adventure.
And this is where many online casino gamblers seem to reach a dead-end in their search for the ultimate online casino for themselves. Because one thing many don't take into account is the fact that they need to find casino deposit methods that suit them and their gambling lifestyles.
There are many different kinds of casino deposit methods. These range from the traditional credit cards to ebanking methods. The good online casinos out there offer a whole variety of these casino deposit methods so that they are able to cater to any type of player. Good casinos will be able to offer banking methods to players, irrespective of where they live in the world, what their restrictions are and what their personal preferences are.
Credit and debit cards are among the most popular casino deposit methods. These are used by players because they are mainstream, well known and relatively safe to use. Unfortunately, it has become increasingly difficult for players from the United States to use credit cards as casino deposit methods because of the restrictions placed on US banking institutions by the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. As a result, many online casinos offer US players alterative forms of payment.
Ebanking casino deposit methods include systems such as Neteller, Click2Pay and Moneybookers. These systems allow players to open an account on the internet, fund these accounts with a regular banking method such as credit card or bank transfer, and then use the funds in those accounts to pay for their online casino gaming sessions.
The advantage of these alternative forms of deposits is that they are safe, private, discreet and hassle-free. They also allow you to fund your accounts from anywhere in the world and make payments 24/7.
Other casino deposit methods include wire transfers, echecks, bank checks and Western Union. Whichever method you choose, remember that it needs to suit you as an individual, taking into account where you live in the world, what limitations you have from your particular geographical destination and what your preferences are. Also, remember, that some online casinos may reward you for using a certain online casino deposit method.
The most popular method of payment in the US is probably the credit card, as they usually have the best deals. The advantage here is the ability to link the card to a bank account and have the facility to pay bills on an EMI basis. Universally accepted, Visa and MasterCard are two of the more prolific providers of credit cards. Merchants that accept credit cards, invariably accept both Visa and MasterCard.
Then there is the JCB credit card has attempted to focus their energies on creating a quality product coupled with excellent service. There is also Diners Club; the first credit card company in the world. Diners Club established the idea of an independent credit card company, and has specialized in providing cards to the travel and entertainment credit card clientele.
An auxiliary of credit cards, is the similar concept known as debit cards. The fundamental difference between the two lies in the payment methods. When a debit card is swiped at a merchant, the funds are transferred into the merchant's account immediately, and the debit is instantly visible. There are many debit card companies, the first one on the list being Citadel cards. Citadel is a major supplier for white-labeled credit card solutions, mainly debit cards. They are recognized worldwide, and their products are accepted everywhere as well.
Maestro debit card service is a subsidiary of MasterCard, and although popular in US, it however is not as widely accepted as MasterCard or its competitors. Maestro also has a range of prepaid cards as a payment option. Netspend is the biggest debit card distributor in the US. While its approach is customer service and satisfaction, Netspend has tailored itself to ideally suit US citizens, with bonuses and lots of other benefits.
Moving on to e-wallets, which are great online mechanisms used to perform secure online monetary transactions. Essentially, an e-wallet can be likened to having a bank account on the Internet, from where transactions take place instantly. Originally created for phone billing, 900pay has expanded to include all manner of online shopping. It is extremely easy to use, and precludes the use of a credit card for transactions. ACTeCASH is another e-wallet offering similar services; however the difference with the latter is the localized payment solutions which are yet to reach the US.
e-Bullion is a unique concept for e-wallets. The site backs all the customer funds in actual, physical precious metal. Similarly, there is e-gold which offers almost the same services, albeit for a fee. Both the sites can be used to transfer funds electronically. Paypal is another option and is the most widely used. Lastly, there is SolidPay, which shields both the transacting parties from each other, creating a veil through which private information cannot pass.
In the latter half of 2006, the Security and Accountability For Every Port Act was passed by the US Congress which prohibits any monetary transaction between financial institutions and online gambling sites. A few exceptions to this law are sites for lotteries, horse racing and fantasy sports. As a result of this law, many gambling sites have closed their doors to US players, registering quite substantial losses in the bargain.

The first school in Locking was built in 1858 opposite the church. Known as the Parochial School, it was paid for by subsidies from the church, the Society of Merchant Venturers and ratepayers, and could cater for up to 50 children between the ages of 5-14. In 1861 the Schoolmistress was Miss Mary Jane Wilkins. Her job could not have been easy as attendance was not compulsory and resources were few, but she did have a house provided. The Old School building and house still stand today.
In 1880 schooling became compulsory between the ages of 5-10, and the average attendance in 1889 was 20 children rising to 30 in 1897, possibly due to the leaving age being raised to 12. All the children were taught together in the same room and once a year they were tested on the 'three R's' by an inspector. From 1903 until its closure on 30th march 1916 a Log Book gives us an insight into the activities of the school and the problems that arose; it makes interesting reading.
There is a photograph of the children taken in 1910 in front of the church with their teacher Florence Clark. The school was run by a small group of managers who included the Vicar, resident Curate-in-Charge, and the Misses Gimingham and Johnson from the Manor House, all of whom regular visits to see the children working and provide back-up for the Schoolmistress, who even then had problems with bad behaviour.
There are entries concerning two boys in particular who were eventually expelled on 28th January 1905. Perhaps as a result of this the children were split into two groups, their lessons including singing, sewing and art as well as reading, maths and English. Miss Gimingham's generosity extended to the schoolchildren with regular gifts of bags to keep their books in, money prizes, books, and bulbs in November and flower and vegetable seeds in spring.
By 1916, possibly a direct result of the First World War, attendance had dropped to a level which made it no longer viable to stay open. From then until 1951 Locking's children had to travel either to Hutton or Banwell for their schooling.
Banwell seems to have been the preferred option, but once the RAF camp began to expand this influx became too much for its limited space. In 1951 two wooden huts on the RAF camp were used to accommodate schooling for the children from Locking.
On 1st July 1952 with 49 children on the roll and Miss M.L. Creighton as Headmistress, this school in the huts on the camp officially became Locking School for children of the families on the RAF camp and children from the village. The children from the village crossed over the road to go to school on the camp.
By 1958 the number of children had risen to 146 – a sign of the general growth of both the camp and the village around this time. On September 6th 1965 Mr Hobson took charge of the expanding school. With 210 on the roll it became obvious that the facilities provided by the wooden huts were inadequate, and a new school was built in the village on fields formally part of Manor Farm.
The new school named 'Locking County Primary School' opened its doors for pupils on 28th March 1966. The official opening ceremony on 3rd May 1966 at 2.30pm was led by Air Marshall Sir David Lee. Dignitaries on stage included Mrs Miller-Barstow, (Chair of Education Committee), Sir David Slessor, Mr Deacon, (Chief Education Officer), Air Commander and Mrs Betts, (Station Commander), and Col. And Mrs Grey, (Chair, Axbridge Rural District Council), besides the school Managers and teachers. The speeches were followed by an historical pageant given by the children and the school was open to visitors for inspection.
As numbers continued to grow more space was needed, and on 19th June 1969 work began on building a new infant school within the grounds which opened in 1972.
Since then Locking school, despite fluctuating numbers and political and educational changes, has continued to provide a sound educational base for children from Locking village, the housing on the now former RAF camp and from the local area.
Today the school has approximately 398 pupils and Headteacher is Mrs Joanne Jones. In 2018 it became an Academy as part of the Extend Learning Academy Network. 8 Local Primary Schools benefit from working together to enhance and enrich the education of all the pupils. Locking is a popular school with children coming from all parts of the surrounding area. It is a community where the education of the whole child is developed in a caring organised and happy environment. Pupils enjoy, 'Working Together, Playing Together and Learning Together'.
With the growth of the new housing estates, a new Haywood Village school has been opened on the former airfield site and a permanent new school on Locking Parklands is promised for the future on the former RAF Locking site.


I was invited to this release party by the CEO of Swedensongs, so how could I really say no? Just a few days before I received some of Lovisa's songs in my mail. I heard them and liked what I heard, so with a little curiosity I walked up to the Big Ben pub.
Lovisa is a very shy artist. When she was introduced to me she almost didn't look me straight in the eyes. I wanted to ask her some questions, anything to perhaps add a quote to the text. But she seemed so afraid that I was afraid I might disrupt her too much. So I just watched her. I watched her as she was very focused watching her opening act, Cornelia Adamson — who, to me, quite stole the show.
Surrounded by her friends, Lovisa started to loosen up. She seemed happy and relaxed. She pretty much surprised the audience when she just went on stage and said that she was going to play. Just like that, no introduction, no small talk, she just went.
There are many singer/songwriters here in Stockholm. There are so many that I sometimes get sick and tired of them. But there are times that one or another just really pops out — be it via their music, via their charm or sometimes their humor. You always need that little extra to stand out among a huge crowd. I really want to say that Lovisa has it. I can see something lurking behind her sombre eyes. There's no denying that she is an amazing composer, all her songs are very pretty and nice. She has a very special voice and you can sense that music is what she burns to do. Yet that fire isn't out to full bloom just yet.
Lovisa is pretty much an artist in the making. This gig is not going to be that memorable, but it will be a great reminder of where she came from. I am sure Lovisa has a long road ahead of her, but I also know that along that road she is going to start to shine. I mean, if it weren't for the fact that I can see something inside of her, I wouldn't be bothering writing this review nor planning to go to her next gig.
You can listen to Lovisa's music on her Myspace or visit her official site for more information.

Berlin Excelsior ist ein deutscher Dokumentarfilm von Erik Lemke aus dem Jahr 2017, der von Peter Rommel produziert worden ist.

Inhalt
Der Dokumentarfilm zeigt Szenen aus dem Leben zahlreicher Bewohner des Wohn- und Geschäftsgebäudes "Excelsiorhaus", das im Berliner Ortsteil Kreuzberg gelegen ist. In den Szenen ist der Alltag verschiedener Bewohner dargestellt, wobei die Kamera von André Krummel scheinbar unbemerkt selbst an intimsten Lebenssituationen teilnimmt. Einzelne Bewohner des Excelsior-Hauses, "die erfolglos die Glücksversprechen unserer Gesellschaft einzulösen versuchen" werden genauer porträtiert, darunter ein ehemaliger Escort, eine alternde Revue-Tänzerin, ein scheiternder Start-up-Gründer und ein Rentner, der sich mal als Fotograf, mal als Unternehmensberater vorstellt. Sie sind in verschiedenen Szenen zu sehen, die sich zu zusammenhängenden Geschichten fügen.

Auch das Gebäude selbst ist in zahlreichen ästhetisierten Zwischenschnitten in den Fokus genommen. Eine Einheit mit der Stadt dahinter stellt der Film nicht her. Der Stahlbetonbau erscheint für sich allein in einer kaum näher definierten Umgebung und wird lediglich am Ende in einer Nachtaufnahme im Ganzen gezeigt. In einer Sequenz aus SFB-Abendschau-Ausschnitten der vergangenen 50 Jahre, werden große Zukunftspläne für das Gebäude verkündet, und gleichzeitig von Pleiten, Zwangsversteigerung bis hin zu Mord berichtet.

Der fast ausschließlich im Excelsiorhaus aufgenommene Dokumentarfilm ist szenisch aufgelöst und verzichtet auf Interviews und Off-Kommentar.

Hintergrund
Schon 1929 diente der Vorgängerbau, das damalige Hotel Excelsior, der Schriftstellerin Vicki Baum als Vorbild für ihren Roman Menschen im Hotel, der das Genre der Gruppenromane begründete. Einzelne Figuren im Dokumentarfilm Berlin Excelsior lassen Parallelen erkennen.

Regisseur Erik Lemke, selbst Bewohner des Hauses, sieht das Thema des Films in einem Zitat von Jonathan Swift am besten beschrieben: "Genau genommen leben sehr wenige Menschen in der Gegenwart. Die meisten bereiten sich vor, demnächst zu leben."

Kritiken

Auszeichnungen
Berlin Excelsior wurde am 27. Oktober 2017 auf den 51. Internationalen Hofer Filmtagen uraufgeführt. Der Film wurde von der Deutschen Film- und Medienbewertung mit dem Prädikat "besonders wertvoll" ausgezeichnet. Der Filmkritiker Wolfgang M. Schmitt von Die Filmanalyse zählt Berlin Excelsior zu den 20 besten Filmen des Jahres 2018.

Artikel "Beauty and the Beast" ist derzeit nicht verfügbar und kann zu dem Warenkorb nicht hinzugefügt werden.
Autor: Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont
Beauty and the Beast (French: La Belle et la Bête) is a very famous traditional fairy tale written by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont. A wealthy widowed merchant lives in a mansion with his three daughters. All are equal in beauty, but the youngest, Beauty, is kind and pure of heart; while the two elders, in contrast, are wicked, selfish, vain and secretly taunt and treat Beauty more like a servant than a sister. The merchant eventually loses all of his wealth in a tempest at sea. One day, the merchant becomes lost in a forest. Seeking shelter, he enters a dazzling palace. A hidden figure opens the giant doors and silently invites him in. The merchant finds tables inside laden with food and drink, which seem to have been left for him by the palace's invisible owner. The merchant accepts this gift and spends the night there. The next morning as the merchant is about to leave, he sees a rose garden and recalls that Beauty had desired a rose. Upon picking the loveliest rose he can find, the merchant is confronted by a hideous "Beast" which tells him that for taking his most precious possession after accepting his hospitality, the merchant must die. The merchant begs to be set free, arguing that he had only picked the rose as a gift for his youngest daughter. The Beast agrees to let him give the rose to Beauty, but only if the merchant will return. The merchant is upset, but accepts this condition. Beauty says she wants to go to the Beast's castle. The Beast receives her graciously and informs her that she is now mistress of the castle, and he is her servant. He gives her lavish clothing and food and carries on lengthy conversations with her. Every night, the Beast asks Beauty to marry him, only to be refused each time. For several months, Beauty lives a life of luxury at the Beast's palace, having every whim catered to by servants, with no end of riches to amuse her and an endless supply of exquisite finery to wear...

Again, depending on the city where you'd like to drive, you may need to make sure that you have a commercial license from a Taxi and Limousine Commission in your city. You'll also need to register your car with this agency.
Above all, you'll need a clean driving record, and you'll also likely have to pass a background check.
With crimes committed by Uber drivers making headlines, this last step is especially important in today's world.
Now that you know a little more about the basics of driving for Uber, it's time to talk in more detail about one of the most important aspects: your car insurance.
The last thing that you want to have happened once you decide to start driving — especially if you're driving full-time — is to have to pay for damages to your car or injuries sustained in a crash yourself.
This means that when you're logged on and looking for passengers, Uber's insurance coverage drops significantly. Usually, you'll only actually be covered for things that your initial car insurance policy can't cover.
However, if you have a passenger in your car or are on your way to pick one up, that coverage increases.
You'll have a million dollar limit on commercial liability insurance, as well as bodily injury coverage of up to $1 million.
If you have your own collision coverage, you'll get a certain amount of coverage from Uber. However, you need to be aware that you'll need to pay your own $1,000 deductible out of pocket.
If you want to become an Uber driver, you need to understand that the coverage that Uber gives you may not always be enough.
Keep in mind that, depending on the city and state that you're driving in, Uber may not always require you to have commercial insurance.
Yes, that sounds like an awesome way to save a little bit more money every month. That is until you get into an accident. This is why many Uber drivers also look into what's known as rideshare insurance.
Not only is it usually incredibly affordable, it will also help to fill in the blanks between your personal car insurance policy and the coverage that is offered by Uber.
In some cases, you may be able to get rideshare coverage for as little as $20 each month.
Rideshare insurance is especially well-liked because it covers you when you're just driving around, looking for a passenger to pick up. It may also cover more of the damage that passengers inflict on the interior of your car.
48 out of 50 states currently offer rideshare insurance — so there's already a good chance that you're eligible.
There are lots of different rideshare policies and coverage options available to you. To learn more about how to pick the policy that's the right fit for you, view here to study up on what you might need.
So, we've covered the insurance that you should consider before you become an Uber driver and the basic requirements that you need to be aware of.
However, there are quite a few other things that you should take into serious consideration before you start driving.
Lots of people are woefully misinformed about how much money they can actually make driving for Uber.
If you've done your research, then you've probably already come across the promise of roughly $20.00 per hour of driving.
Remember that you'll need to calculate Uber's commission, as well as the maintenance of your car. This means things like gas and keeping your vehicle nice and clean.
You'll also need to remember to take out a percentage of your income for taxes.
You'll also be charged a booking fee, so you need to make sure that the ride will actually be worth it before you pick anyone up. In general, the commission that Uber takes out is, as of this writing, somewhere around 25%.
If you have a lower fare, this may mean that you're not going to be able to net enough of a profit to make driving a passenger worthwhile.
With Uber, just as with the traditional Yellow Cabs, your passengers will have the option to leave you a tip.
However, unlike the Yellow Cabs, the tips aren't calculated off of a percentage of your fare. Instead, the passenger will be shown options for amounts, like $1 or $3.
Depending on the length of your ride, you may end up feeling like you're getting ripped off.
Customers also have the option to tip you in cash before the exit your vehicle. However, be aware that most choose to tip online after your ride — if at all.
Yes, this is an important thing to think about when becoming an Uber driver.
While many drivers love the flexibility and freedom that driving offers them, it also means that, at the end of the day, no one else is really responsible for your income except you.
Are you truly able to make a commitment to driving without a set schedule? Are you able to stick to things, to push yourself, and to drive during peak times because that's when you'll be able to make the most money?
Do you enjoy talking with people, and are you comfortable with people leaving reviews for you as an Uber driver? What about offering people advice who are visiting a town, or just dealing with more difficult and demanding personalities?
These things might seem small now, but they can end up making or breaking your entire driving experience.
If you've been wondering whether or not you have what it takes to become an Uber driver, we hope that you've found this post helpful.
Before you make any decisions, make sure that you take the time to review the specific Uber driver requirements in the state where you plan to drive.
You should also consider getting rideshare insurance if you can make enough to pay for your lifestyle, and whether or not driving meshes with your current schedule and personality.

Ryan Reynolds' Love Of Mariah Carey Will Play A Huge Part In Free Guy
Ryan Reynolds is well known for playing a major role when it comes to shaping the creative direction of his star vehicles, and the actor's fingerprints are all over the two Deadpool movies, which isn't surprising when he was the leading man and co-producer who took an official writing credit on the second installment.
The 43 year-old clearly tailors his projects to suit his self-aware and irreverent screen persona, and it appears that upcoming action comedy Free Guy will be no different. The high concept blockbuster looks to be playing directly to his strengths, and director Shawn Levy revealed that a lot of it had to do with Reynolds adding his own personal flourishes to the script, which was originally written by Matt Lieberman and Zak Penn.
Mariah Carey's pop classic "Fantasy" has been all over the Free Guy marketing campaign, and in a recent interview, Levy admitted that the decision was entirely down to Reynolds, who really loves the song and found it giving him inspiration while he tackled the rewrites.
"Credit where credit's due. Ryan, when he was doing the earliest dialogue polishes on this screenplay, he was listening to Mariah in his home, and he wrote "Fantasy" into the script. And I go, 'What's this about?', and he's like, 'It just feels good'. So literally, based on nothing but Ryan's instinct, and the fact that was one of his writing tracks in the revisions of Free Guy, we approached Team Mariah and it led to that song being the signature track. Not only in the movie, but in the campaign for the movie."

The production team will have no doubt had to shell out a pretty penny to secure the rights to the track, and if Free Guy manages to overcome the continued uncertainty surrounding the theatrical industry and do big business at the box office, then Carey stands to pocket a tidy sum from the heavy use of her 1995 single.
So far, at least, the movie looks like the sort of acton-packed and hilarious blockbuster that audiences have been desperately starved of throughout 2020, and hopefully Free Guy goes some way to rejuvenating the box office when one of the last few remaining major releases of the year arrives as scheduled on December 11th.
