The Official 2019 Global Event Forum Report Breakdown!
By Dustin Westling October 31, 2019 No Comments
On this week's Event Brew, we're breaking down the Global Event Forum report. So, just in case you don't know, the Global Event Forum brings together the most influential live event professionals. And here, they debate and discuss the hottest and most relevant topics impacting the live event industry on a global level. Four issues were outlined and discussed at length. And the major topic that took over the conversation was commoditization in the industry.
So, this week, our hosts Nick Borelli, Thuy Diep, and Dustin Westling are giving you the scoop. We're breaking down the best bits and discussing the strategies and ideas coming out of the report. And pro-tip: make sure you get your hands on the Global Event Forum report to better follow the conversation. Are you ready? Let's get brewing!
Click here for the full audio transcription.
What Was The Global Event Forum Report All About?
"So after that report was put out there was a lot of conversation in our industry about commoditization", explains Dustin. "I think a lot of people were learning about the details of it for the first time. Which was a really, really important conversation to have. And as the Global Event Forum was put together this year and came back to the table in August, the next step to that was talking about how do we continue that conversation of what we see as the commoditization issue? And there were topics about the importance of value. So this year the forum established three phases, each of them with 10 principles".
Nick explains what the three phases from the Global Event Forum report mean. "So, for a long time, event professionals have had this really nebulous hard problem of differentiating what someone does for a living", says Nick. "And I've had a hard time myself trying to figure out where one ends and one begins because they're so intertwined. So what's cool about this is that it's very linear. It goes from strategy to design to execution".
"And I think one of the underpins of all three of these phases is showing how there are things that are very likely to be commoditized. And there are things that are further away that are less likely to be commoditized. So it kind of goes from the work of pure intellect, to eventually at the end of it, stuff", he adds.
Why Does The Global Event Forum Matter?
"So there's a team put together by ILEA because ILEA really is the driver of the Global Event Forum", explains Dustin. "There's a team put together that looks into the industry. The goal, I believe, is to fill the room with industry professionals from all walks of our industry. They use their networks. Members of the forum, past forums are asked for input, and that's how it's built".
"These aren't huge, corporate companies either", adds Thuy. "They range, and I think that it's great to have all of that from all angles, from all perspectives, from different regions, from different areas within the event industry". Dustin adds that the Global Event Forum report does a really good job. "There are some great principles here. And there's some great information. If you're looking at this from your business view and you're struggling to put the pieces together, if you're struggling to figure out where you fall in the process, one great thing that you can find in this report is where you are in the process. And better understand the phases before you, the phases after you, and how they all tie together".
The Strategy Phase
"We're in a funny time where everybody wants to call themselves strategists", says Dustin. "At every level of this, everybody is talking about their value is in the strategy. That language and this word strategy is becoming more and more common in somebody's value proposition". Nick believes that "from a real practical standpoint, everyone wants to be at the earliest stage as possible. Because that sets everything. On the most practical, it sets the budget. On the higher level of it, it sets the North star. So it's the decision-making apparatus. If you can create that, you're in the driver's seat. I understand the allure of wanting to position yourself as a strategist. I think everyone should be able to have a strategic mind, regardless of your contribution to events. You should be able to take the understanding of that phase and apply it to what you do".
Understanding Your Role
"And that is actually a big part of the conversation that we had this year, was about everyone understanding their role in the strategy", explains Dustin. "Strategic thinking and understanding the strategy is actually the most important thing you can do at every level of this. If you have a great strategist working on a project and the phases or the professionals that are after the strategy has been set don't understand how to read or realize it, then everything just kind of fails. So there's definitely a role for everybody to play in the strategy of the event", he concludes.
The Design Phase & The Delivery Phase
For Thuy, "the strategy, how it blends into the detailed designing and the delivery, it's the why for strategy, the story, the how, how we're going to do the tactics. And that's obviously the longest portion. Then the delivery, the fulfillment. Then on top of that, it's the thinking and the doing portion of it and how it's split".
The Event Creation Journey & The Importance Of Delivery
"So this graph says that the strategy phase is the highest as far as being able to differentiate your value", explains Dustin. "Therefore it is the least. Likely to be a commodity or to be commoditized. As you go through the creation, so you go from strategy to detailed design to delivery and the differentiating value ends up all the way down to the bottom. It's at its highest level at the strategy phase and at its lowest level at the delivery phase".
"I think that there's a positive of commoditization, which very few people talk about", says Nick. "But you have to put yourself exclusively in the role of the consumer. The consumer wants to know what they're getting for their money. That's what commoditization is. They wanted to know in a verifiable way, what's the direct ROI?". He goes on to add that "when you think about strategy, I have it and you don't. Because it's of the intellect. Only one person can have it. Because it's a unique offering because there is only one person whose ability to discern all of your ideas and mix a little bit of art and science together. And because that is a unique thing, there is no set price on creativity".
This is where Thuy disagrees. "Yes, you want to have those core details, the bigger picture, the vision, everything. If that's not executed properly or that's not delivered, then that client is not going to return. Or that company is going to fail because you can plan and wish and graph and do all of that. But it's more about the execution". Dustin chimes in by clarifying the graph. "The sliding scale is not talking about the value in the process. It's not talking about bringing value to the project. It's talking about who can differentiate their value in that process", he explains. "The delivery stage has a harder time differentiating their value. Because in most cases at the delivery phase, there's a lot of people selling the same thing".
Making Strategic Choices
"I also think that you could look at this event creation journey as the entire event. You can also look at it as any contributor", says Nick. "I think this is one of the key things that I really hope a lot of event professionals start doing more of. That is adding value and assigning value to the different phases they have in their process. There's a strategy element to what they do".
"And I'm not saying that they're setting the strategy for the event. But they're making strategic choices. They're using their experience that is unique to them in order to interpret the overall event strategy and provide a strategy for why they have chosen the pieces that they have. And then the design aspect of it to make sure that there is a process that is repeatable, that has redundancies, that have the right labor, all that good stuff. The delivery of it, in a literal sense, the delivery but also in all the nuts and bolts of the physicality of it", he adds.
Navigating The Global Event Forum Report Phases
"I think the hardest is, of course, the one that can differentiate the value the most. So I think that the strategy component is the hardest. And that is where you need a very different skill set to understand a business. The amount of information that you need to process in order to build a strategy is insane. And if you're a good strategist, you have to have a huge amount of knowledge when it comes to business operations", says Dustin.
"I think that you can, to be an average to okay strategist is probably the easiest of the three", says Nick. "Because you're not validating a lot of what you do. What you're doing is, you're making just arbitrary decisions for people who can't make decisions and you're just kind of sticking to your guns. I think that you're only good at the thing you're good at. I think that it's very difficult for you to be good or great at all three of those things".
Connections Between Phases
"I feel like I've had many late-night conversations with a lot of people in the industry about this", says Thuy. "Because I really truly feel like this industry has constantly shifted to a point where everything so last minute now. Now, because everything is so last minute, we hand it over later. And all those changes, we get stuck in this kind of limbo where here are the designs, and contracts are signed, or we've partnered, we've selected our supplier partners and now the ops person, our event producer now has to make it run. But there's a shorter window".
"I give every area and phase kudos because it's its own level of responsibility and stress and rewards", she continues. "So it's this constant working of this unit where everyone else has these roles". Nick adds that "I think that there is something to be said about where do you fit in as a person to these things. I think a lot of that is another interesting part. So where does your business fit in? Where is the design of an event? What are the phases of that? But also as a person, where do you think you should put your time?".
Nick's Pro Tips
"We create a bunch of concise pieces that are around keywords and language and kind of mandatory goals", he says. "So as long as you can make things really simple and just give people guides, then the rest of it, which becomes a little bit more maybe on the tactical side of the strategy, is mostly just given to the designer. In order to take in, absorb and then communicate to their other people. But the only artifact that really survives in a pure form all the way to the bottom is the most concise wrap up of what this is about. As long as everyone on the whole team understands that, they should be able to make a more thoughtful, strategic decision making in the process as they have to make quick decisions. They're doing quick decisions based on something that we've all decided is important", he concludes.
Thuy's Pro Tips
"In this case, and my role day today, I have two other teammates that we all have different objectives", she says. "But we all need to work as a unit. And so communicating is so key, from every single phase in the protocol, in order to get down to that. From the idea all the way to the execution and from a design standpoint, being able to have to do both. So communication in anything and balance in anything is so vital. Because if one department or one phase isn't communicating to the other, everything falls, and it's really that split of like responsibility".
Nick agrees with Thuy and adds that "if you want to have a successful project, I think engaging everybody in the same information is really important. So, however you communicate to your supplier partners, make sure that you include a brief, and make sure you include the strategy. Make sure you tell them what they're working towards in a really clear, easy to understand way".

Carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites consist of a resin (usually epoxy) which transfers the stress between the fibres and protects them. Other fibres and resins can be used such as aramid and glass fibres and polyester resins. These materials are widely used in other industries.
We started researching the use of carbon fibre composites in 1992 when we commissioned Sheffield University to carry out some initial trials strengthening reinforced concrete beams. In 1996 we were the first company to complete a commercial structural strengthening contract using CFRP composites.
Since 1996 we have designed and installed many CFRP composite strengthening schemes for reinforced concrete. We have also pioneered the use of ultra-high modulus plates to strengthen cast iron beams for Network Rail and Transport for London.
Over the last 20 years we have supported further research and development with UK Universities. We have also supported the development of the Technical Reports published by the Concrete Society (TR55 and TR57) on this subject.
CRL provide a design and installation service for FRP composite strengthening using pultruded plates and wrap systems. For further details please download the brochure.

Q: Proving $\bigcup A - \bigcup B \subset \bigcup(A-B)$ I need to prove:

*

*$\bigcup\limits_{i} A - \bigcup\limits_j B \subset \bigcup\limits_j (A-B)$

*$\bigcap\limits_{i} A - \bigcap\limits_j B \subset \bigcup\limits_j (A-B)$

So when can the equality hold?
Appreciate your help.

A: *

*Consider an $x\in\cup A_i-\cup B_j$. So $x\in\cup A_i$, but $x\notin \cup B_j$. Since $x\in\cup A_i$, $x$ is a member of some $A_i$, say $x\in A_5$. Since $x\notin\cup B_j$, $x$ is not a member of any $B_j$. In particular, $x\notin B_5$. So $x\in A_5-B_5$, but $A_5-B_5\subseteq\cup(A_i-B_i)$.

*A similar argument would work here.

A: It's a little hard to tell from your notation, but I'm guessing that you have families $\{A_i:i\in I\}$ and $\{B_i:i\in I\}$ of sets and want to show that $$\bigcup_{i\in I}A_i\setminus\bigcup_{i\in I}B_i\subseteq\bigcup_{i\in I}(A_i\setminus B_i)\tag{1}$$ and $$\bigcap_{i\in I}A_i\setminus\bigcap_{i\in I}B_i\subseteq\bigcup_{i\in I}(A_i\setminus B_i)\;.\tag{2}$$
Both $(1)$ and $(2)$ can be proved by 'element-chasing': pick an arbitrary member of the lefthand side, and show that it must belong to the righthand side.
For $(1)$, for instance, suppose that $x\in\bigcup_{i\in I}A_i\setminus\bigcup_{i\in I}B_i$. Then $x\in\bigcup_{i\in I}A_i$, so there is an $i_0\in I$ such that $x\in A_{i_0}$. You also know that $x\notin\bigcup_{i\in I}B_i$, so $x\notin B_{i_0}$. What does this tell you about the relationship between $x$ and $A_{i_0}\setminus B_{i_0}$? Can you finish the proof of $(1)$ from here?
Try a similar argument for $(2)$. If $x\in\bigcap_{i\in I}A_i\setminus\bigcap_{i\in I}B_i$, then $x$ is in every $A_i$, but $x$ is not in every $B_i$. (Why?) Use this to show that there must be at least one $i\in I$ such that $x\in A_i\setminus B_i$.

A: When agreement  on writing union  as sum, intersection as product and complement-with-respect-to-total-set as overline, the total set as  $1$ and the empty set as  $0$, then
\begin{equation}\nonumber
\big(\bigcup_i a_i - \bigcup_i b_i \big)= \big(\sum_i a_i  \big)\overline{\big(\sum_i b_i \big)} = \sum_i a_i \big(\prod_j \bar b_j\big)
\end{equation}
 As  $s s = s$ (and $s+s=s$)  this equals
\begin{equation}\nonumber
\sum_i a_i \bar b_i \big(   \prod_j \bar b_j \big)= \big( \sum_i a_i \bar b_i\big)\big( \prod_j \bar b_j\big).
\end{equation}
Adding the disjoint expression
\begin{equation}\nonumber
\big( \sum_i a_i \bar b_i\big) \big(\overline { \prod_j \bar b_j }\big)
\end{equation}
and using the rule $xy+x\bar y = x(y+\bar y)=x1=x$)  the result is
\begin{equation}\nonumber
\sum_i a_i \bar b_i.
\end{equation}   In caps and cups it says
\begin{equation}\nonumber
\bigcup_i a_i - \bigcup_i b_i \subseteq \bigcup_i (a_i - b_i).
\end{equation}
  The condition for equality is that what is added is zero,
\begin{equation}\nonumber
\big( \sum_i a_i \bar b_i\big) \big(\overline { \prod_j \bar b_j }\big)=0.
\end{equation}
Using that  $x \bar y=0 $ gives $x \bar y + x y = xy \leq y$ gives
\begin{equation}\nonumber
\sum_i a_i \bar b_i \leq \prod_j \bar b_j= \overline{\sum b_j}.
\end{equation}
 Written with caps and cups it says
\begin{equation}\nonumber
\bigcup_i( a_i- b_i) \subseteq \big(\bigcup b_i\big)^c.
\end{equation}
The other equation:
\begin{equation}\nonumber
\big(\bigcap_i a_i - \bigcap_j a_j\big) = \big( \prod_i a_i\big)\big( \overline{\prod_j b_j}\big)= \big(\prod_i a_i\big)\big(\sum_j \bar b_j\big)=\big(\sum_j \bar b_j \big) \big( \prod_i a_i \big)= \big(\sum_i \bar b_i  a_i\big) \big( \prod_j a_j \big)\qquad .
\end{equation}
 If one adds
\begin{equation}\nonumber
\big(\sum_i \bar b_i a_i \big)\big(\overline{\prod_j a_j}\big),
\end{equation}
 one gets the right hand side
\begin{equation}\nonumber
\sum_i a_i \bar b_i.
\end{equation}
 The added part is disjoint,  and the result is bigger, whith equality only  if added part is zero,
\begin{equation}\nonumber
\big(\sum_i \bar b_i a_i \big)\big(\overline{\prod_j a_j}\big)=0
\end{equation}
With x and y the ab-sum and a-product, and from  $x = x(y+\bar y)=xy + x\bar y = xy \leq y$ the result is
\begin{equation}\nonumber
 \sum_i a_i \bar b_i \leq \big(\prod_j a_j\big),
\end{equation}
 or in cap-cup,
\begin{equation}\nonumber
\bigcup (a_i - b_i) \subseteq \bigcap_i a_i.
\end{equation}

Persecuted Somali family gets no assistance in Dadaab refugee camp
A widow and her children from an ethnic minority, who fled Mogadishu for their safety following the high profile public killing of her husband over a family marriage dispute, is living without assistance in Kenya's Dadaab refugee camp.
Farhiya Ahmed Qassim arrived in Dadaab with her two daughters and three sons in July, after neighbours in Mogadishu raised $1,200 for them to make the 10-day journey over the border to escape a barrage of death threats.
Farhiya's husband, Ahmed Mukhtar Salah, was burned alive in Mogadishu in September 2018, after his nephew eloped and married a young woman from a powerful majority clan. Farhiya's family are from the marginalized Bantu community, who have long suffered discrimination in Somalia. The brides' family fiercely opposed the marriage.
The story made headlines at the time. The Mogadishu authorities stepped in to provide protection for the young newlyweds, but the rest of the family was forgotten and continued to suffer threats of violence.
Farhiya has been unable to register as a refugee, however, because the Kenyan government has put a stop to the registration of new arrivals. Kenya is committed to closing the camps and ensuring that all refugees return to Somalia.
Farhiya said she received constant death threats from relatives of the bride's family that made their lives in Mogadishu impossible.
"They used to call us and threaten that they would kill all of us, they knew my phone number. I lived in fear and so we later decided to flee," she said.
"When we arrived in the refugee camp, life became quickly unbearable because we had nothing to eat and could not get a food ration card.
Even if we had got the lentils that are distributed by the UN it would have been a relief," she told Radio Ergo.
The camp leaders helped the family to meet with officials from the UN refugee agency, UNHCR, who informed them there was no ongoing registration. Farhiya said she was told by camp leaders that she could get preliminary registration by UNHCR in December.
Mukhtar Salah Oday, Farhiya's 75-year-old father-in-law, moved with the family to Dadaab. He told Radio Ergo that he went blind as a result of grief on hearing the news of his son's death.
Mukhtar said he had hoped for support in the refugee camp, but they had neither food nor shelter.
"You can imagine, an old man who lost the son who was supporting him financially. My son was a good man who was well known in Mogadishu and many other places," said Mukthar. "He was responsible for his families and our family. I cannot sleep, I stay up because I cannot bear the loss of my son, I still have nightmares."
Farhiya and her children survive on small amounts of food given to them by local clerics at a nearby mosque. Despite the hardship, she said they cannot go back to Mogadishu because they fear for their lives.
Ahmed left behind three widows and 17 children. The other two widows and their five sons and seven daughters are still hiding in Mogadishu, according to Farhiya.
Seven people including the bride's mother were arrested over Ahmed's brutal public murder. Two of the bride's brothers and a maternal aunt were given death sentences in March and are still in prison.

SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT
The Shepherd walks The Way through The Narrow Gate Ahead of His Sheep
as foretold in The Heavenly Scroll
1 On the Chagigah (rehearsal dinner), the evening before the Feast of the Passover began, Yahusha knew his time had come to pay the dowry and redeem his Bride from bondage to death (Ephesians 2:14-18), ascend to The Father, receive the Glory promised before the foundation of the world as King, and break the seals over to read The Heavenly Scroll (Daniel 7 and Revelation 5). Yahusha was to demonstrate his love (John 10:15) for his Bride, held captive in this world to death, even to the point of willingly laying down his own life to show us The Way to Perfection and Righteousness and prove The Way works and Yahuah will 'forgive our iniquity and remember our sin no more' and fulfill His Promise to raise us from the dead (John 15:13 and LIBRA).
2 As the Chagigah meal had ended, The Dragon had put it into the mind of Yahudah/Judas the Assassin, son of Simon, to betray Yahusha;
3 Yahusha knowing that The Father had given all things into his hands (LEO) as he had come to do Yahuah's Will written down in The Heavenly Scroll, and that he was going stand before Yahuah to receive his Kingdom (LEO, Daniel 7); 4 got up from the Chagigah meal and took off his clothing to Mikveh himself. After he had walked The Way by Living Water and purified his body (to present himself to his Father), he took a towel, dried himself off, and tied it around his waist.
5 Yahusha then poured Living Water into a basin, then began to Mikveh the Disciples' feet (to illustrate they are to walk The Way and follow his example 1 Yahchanan/1John 2:6, 1 Kephah/1 Peter 2:21, Yahchanan/John 13:15) and wipe them with the towel that he had tied around waist. 6 Yahusha then came to Simon Peter, but Peter said to him; Rabbi, why do you wash my feet? 7 Yahusha answered and said to him: The example I am setting for you to walk, is not meant for you to understand now, but after I walk this path (The Way) it (Mikveh, Circumcision and Offering) will be revealed to you (by the Spirit on Shav'uot).
8 Peter said to him; No, I am not worthy for you to wash my feet! Yahusha answered him: If I (AQUARIUS) do not Mikveh you with Living Water, you have no part with me in the coming Kingdom (Age of AQUARIUS). 9 Simon Peter said to Yahusha; Rabbi, then wash my hands and my head along with my feet as well!
10 Yahusha said to him: those who have already dipped themselves in the Mikveh pools for Passover to cleanse and purify their bodies with Living Water do not need to be totally immersed again, just your feet as you have been traveling with sandals on and your feet are all that is dirty. However, not all of you are clean. 11 Yahusha had said, not all of them are clean, because he knew Yahudah/Judas would betray him.
We Are to Follow Yahusha's example of Mikveh, Circumcision, and Offering called The Way through The Narrow Gate of Passover
12 After he had washed their feet with Living Water (to illustrate they were to walk as he walked through The Narrow Gate of Passover), he put his clothes back on, and sat down. Then Yahusha said to them: Do you understand what I have done for you? 13 You rightfully call me Rabbi and leader because that is what I am to you who follow me. 14 Since I then, your leader and Rabbi, have washed your feet, you are also bound in obligation to wash one another's feet (teach others after you how to walk The Way of Mikveh, Circumcision, and Offering so they then can make Disciples and teach others also 2 Timothy 2).
And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.
15 For I (the Shepherd) am giving you an example, I am showing you The Way through The Narrow Gate (AQUARIUS, Psalm 32:8, Isaiah 44:3, John 14:4), and you (my Sheep) are to follow my example every Passover and walk as I have walked (1 John 2:6, 1 Kephah/1 Peter 2:21).
16 Very honestly, I tell you: The servant is not greater than his Master; nor is the one sent to fulfill The Will of Yahuah greater than the author of The Heavenly Scroll Who sent him to fulfill it. 17 It will be your great joy to walk The Way when you are given understanding of these things (when Yahusha pours out The Spirit on Shav'uot. We see the Disciples then went out and began teaching others The Way Acts 2:38 as Yahusha had prophesied).
1 Kephah/1 Peter 2:21
You were called to be Mikveh'd into The Yahushaic Covenant and walk The Way, as Yahusha The Messiah suffered on Passover and entered through The Narrow Gate to pay the dowry and redeem you from death, in doing so, Yahusha (the True Way that leads to eternal life/The Truth, The Way, and the Life John 14:6) left you an example (showed you The Way), that you should follow in his steps.
I will instruct you and teach you in The Way you should go; I will counsel you with My Loving Eye on you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and welcome you into my presence, so that you also may be where I am. 4 You know The Way to the place where I am going." 5 "Rabbi," said Thomas, "we do not know where you are going, so how can we know The Way?"
Acts 2:38 – The Disciples are given "understanding of these things Yahusha did" John 13:17
Peter replied, "Repent (CIRCUMCISION of heart) and be MIKVEH'd, every one of you, in The Yahushaic Covenant (where we give our life as Living Sacrificial OFFERINGS) to have your sin washed away with Living Water. And you will be Mikveh'd with Fire (be filled with all the Fullness of Deity in your body i.e. Born-again by Yahuah Ephesians 3:19) and you will receive the Gift of the Holy Spirit (once you have been perfected in body, mind, and soul).
Yahusha Tells of his Betrayal-- Prophecy Fulfilled Before Passover
18 I am not talking about everyone here. I know whom I have Chosen; but that the Scriptures must be fulfilled, He who eats my bread has lifted up his heel against me (Psalm 41:9). 19 Now I am telling you beforehand that I will be betrayed, so that when it occurs, you may believe that I am the one David spoke about. 20 I assure you when I say; he who receives whomever I send receives me; and he who receives me receives Him Who sent me (The Kingdom is grown through mentors/teachers and discipleship as we learn from those who came before us, honor them, and ensure their needs are met as we 'pay it forward' 1 Timothy 5, 2 Timothy 2:2).
1 Timothy 5:17,18 – we are commanded to financially support His Anointed Elder Teachers
17 Elders (50+ years in age who have been Chosen to lead others) who lead effectively are worthy of Double Honor, especially those who Work hard at preaching and teaching. 18 For the Scripture says, "Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain," and, "The Worker is Worthy of his wages."
21 When Yahusha had said these things, he became very upset and declared, I assure you, one of you will betray me. 22 When the Disciples heard him say this, they were confused and wondered who he was speaking about.
23 Now Yahusha's beloved (g25. Agapaó / Love - 'take pleasure in, long for, was faithful to') wife Miriam was lying in his lap (a show of loving affection reserved for husband and wife in public). 24 Simon Peter therefore motioned to HER (g846. Autos – 'her'; speaking of Miriam Magdalene the only one to never deny or betray him, anointed him with fine oil before his death, prepared his body for burial, risked being arrested at the feet of his execution state, wept at his tomb, was the first one he came to after Resurrection, and is mentioned by name more than any other Disciple) to ask who it was of whom he spoke (because she had her beloved's ear more than any other as wives should).
25 Then, leaning back on Yahusha's chest, she said to him, Master, who is it? 26 Yahusha answered: It is he to whom I will give a piece of bread after I have dipped it in the dish (Yahusha answered his beloved wife privately). Then having dipped the bread, he gave it to Yahudah/Judas the Assassin, the son of Simon. 27 And after Yahudah/Judas took the piece of bread, The Dragon entered him. Then Yahusha said to him: What you are going to do, do quickly!
28 Now no man at the table knew what Yahusha meant when he said this to Yahudah/Judas; 29 For some thought, since Yahudah/Judas had the moneybag, that Yahusha had said to him: Buy those things that we have need of for the feast; or that he should give something to the poor. 30 Then he, having accepted the piece of bread, immediately went out while it was night.
Yahusha declares he is the fulfillment of The Heavenly Scroll
31 After Yahudah/Judas had left, Yahusha said: Now The Son of Man (ORION) is Glorified in The Heavenly Scroll, and Yahuah is Glorified in him who fulfills His Will on Earth as it is written in the stars (Psalm 19 – 'the stars tell of the Glory of Yahuah and declare the Works of His Hands/Plan of Salvation Enoch 35:3, Hebrews 10:7, Matthew 6:10). 32 If Yahuah is Glorified in him (He loves) who fulfills The Word of His Testimony (The Heavenly Scroll Isaiah 48:11-15) in the flesh (John 1:1-4),
11 For My Own Sake, for My Own Sake I will do it; for how could dishonor come to My Name (Yahuah)? I will not give My Glory (as Creator) to another (not even Yahusha, Yahuah ALONE sits on the Throne of Creation Isaiah 44:24)! 12 Listen to Me, O Yahqob/Jacob and Israel, My Called; I am He; I am the Aleph, I also am the Tav (the standard of Perfection and Unity… the ONE and ONLY God John 17:3). 13 My Hand has laid the foundation of the Earth (by Himself Isaiah 44:24), and My Right Hand has spanned (authored) the Heaven (ly Scroll Psalm 19); when I summon the Sun/stars/constellations together (i.e. the stars and constellations contain a Secret Message Enoch 6:9), they will minister together as a Divine Counsel to all mankind (to proclaim His Handiwork/The Messiah/Plan of Salvation Psalm 19). 14 All of you, gather yourselves together and hear (what the Sun/stars/constellations proclaim day after day, night after night Psalm 19, Enoch 35:3)! Who among them has foretold these things in the heavens/stars? Yahuah has Loved him (Spoken of in The Heavenly Scroll; Yahusha); He will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm will be on the Chaldeans. 15 I, even I, have Spoken (LOGOS/DABAR – 'Spoken Promise in the beginning' John 1:1-14); yes, I have called him (Yahusha Luke 4:18). I have brought him (forth as The Branch as My Eternal High Priest see Zechariah Chapter 3:8), and his example, The Way, (example of Mikveh, Circumcision, and Offering) will succeed (in producing Perfection and Resurrection CAPRICORNUS/AQUARIUS called The Doctrine of Righteousness).
Yahuah will also Glorify him through the power of the Resurrection (Romans 1:2-4) with the Glory proclaimed in the stars before the foundation of the world (John 17:4-6) immediately as promised (LOGOS/DABAR – 'Spoken Promise' in the beginning Genesis 1:1).
…4 I have Glorified You on Earth by accomplishing the Work You gave me to do (written in The Heavenly Scroll Hebrews 10:7, Matthew 6:10). 5 And now, Father, glorify me in Your presence (through Resurrection Romans 1:2-4, as You promised Gedi/CAPRICORNUS, Daniel 7, Revelation 5) with the Glory (as the Coming Conquering King LEO/ORION) I had with You before the world existed (written in the stars Galatians 3:6-8 as a lamb slaughtered Revelation 5:1-13). 6 I have revealed Your Name to those You have given me out of the world (as my Bride). They were Your children (through adoption walking The Way); You gave them to me (in marriage Ṭ'leh/ARIES), and they have kept The Word of Your Testimony (Revelation 12:17).…
2 the Gospel He promised beforehand (in the beginning the LOGOS, Yahusha did not pre-exist he was pre-determined in the stars) and through His Prophets in the Holy Scriptures (who were shown The Heavenly Scroll) 3 regarding His Son, who as to his earthly life was a descendant of David, 4 and who through the Spirit of Holiness (not at his human birth, but his REBIRTH after walking The Way and he was filled with the Fullness of Deity in his body… Yahuah's seed is Spiritual NOT physical) was appointed the Son of God in Power by the Resurrection from the dead (and His Seed is imparted upon Resurrection resulting in the Spiritual Body not human birth): Yahusha The Messiah our King.
33 Little children of the Father, I am only with you a little while longer. You will seek me, but as I said to the Yahudaim, so I say to you: Where I go (to ascend to stand before Yahuah to receive His "Glory" as King and a Kingdom Daniel 7 and break the seals over and read The Heavenly Scroll Revelation 5), you cannot come (at this time, we follow him in the First Resurrection).
Daniel 7:1-16 – Yahuah Glorifies Yahusha with the Glory as King he was given promised before the Foundation of the world in The Heavenly Scroll see John 17:4-6
1 In the first year of Baalshazzar King of Babylon, Daniel had a dream, and visions in his mind (as he studied The Heavenly Scroll of Enoch) as he lay on his bed (looking up at the stars and constellations). Then he wrote down his dream (H2493. 'A revelation from Yahuah', he was not asleep, he was wide awake writing down his 'visions'), beginning the account (his witness) of these matters (in The Heavenly Scroll): 2 Daniel spoke, and said; I saw (The Heavenly Scroll) in my vision by night (by night - because he was observing the stars, not sleeping), and behold (The Flying Heavenly Scroll Zechariah 5:1), … 9 I beheld (the Enoch Zodiac) until the 4 Thrones were set in place (the 4 living creatures/flying Seraphs on the outer rim of the Enoch Zodiac that move it about until they had moved The Heavenly Scroll in position), and the Ancient of Days (Yahuah) did sit (on the Judgement Seat), Whose vesture was white as snow, and the hair of His Head like the pure wool; His Throne was like the Fiery Flame, and His Wheels (4 wheels within a wheel that Ezekiel described) as Burning Fire. 10 A fiery stream issued (from His Mouth) and came forth from before Him (His Words are like an all-consuming Fire Jeremiah 23:29, Hebrews 12:29); thousands upon thousands (of stars in the heavens) ministered to Him (the stars/constellations are His Divine Counsel), and ten thousand times ten thousand (of stars) stood before Him (Daniel was looking at The Heavenly Scroll, and all the stars in the heavens that represent His malakim/angles); the Judgment was set (or rather The Judge Yahuah, had taken His Seat, the battle is about to begin between The Son of Man and the Son of Perdition), and the Books (of The Heavenly Scroll, there are 3 Books as I revealed in my book, "Creation Cries Out!") were opened. 11 I beheld (The Heavenly Scroll), then, because of the Voice of the Great Words which 'the Horn' (Strong's H7162 - should be 'Shofar', Yahuah's Voice sounds like a loud Shofar blast Hebrews 12:19, do not confuse this with the other 'horns' in Daniel, this one is a musical instrument) Spoke; I beheld (what is written in The Heavenly Scroll) until the beast was slain and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame (Message behind the pictograph of Kislev/SAGITTARIUS). 12 As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their governments taken away; yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time (Message behind the pictograph of Shor/TAURUS). 13 I saw in the night (sky) visions (of The Heavenly Scroll), and behold (the constellation ORION), One like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven (the Milky Way), and (The Son of Man along with the Son of Perdition) came to the Ancient of Days (Yahuah, Who had taken His Seat to Judge between them to determine who will sit on The Throne in Heaven), and they (both) were brought together before Yahuah (to declare who was the fulfillment of The Heavenly Scroll, as the Books had been opened). 14 And there was given him (The Son of Man the Glory as the Conquering King/Messiah proclaimed in the Books of The Heavenly Scroll written before the foundation of the world) ruling authority, and Glory, and a Kingdom, that all peoples, Nations, and languages (represented by the Rainbow Throne) should obey his authority as Proxy King; his Government is an Everlasting Government, which will not pass away; and his Kingdom is one which will not be destroyed (Isaiah 9:6 and Message behind the pictograph of Ari/LEO). 15 I, Daniel, was grieved in my Spirit within my body, and the visions (of The Heavenly Scroll) that passed through my mind (as he studied the Enoch Zodiac) troubled me (as he lay on his bed at night, looking up at the stars, he was not dreaming, he was writing these down as Yahuah gave him understanding as he said in verse 1). 16 I came near to One of those who stood by and asked Him the Truth of all this (what do these constellations mean?). So He told me, and revealed the interpretation of these things to me (revealed the meaning behind the Heavenly Counsel/Starry Hosts/constellations called The Divine Counsel).
Revelation 5:1-14 – John reads The Heavenly Scroll/Yahusha portrayed as a Lamb slaughtered and given Glory as King promised before the foundation of the world in The Heavenly Scroll
1 And I saw in the Right Hand of Him Who sat on the Throne, a (Heavenly) Scroll written inside and on the back (scroll made up of 3D Heavenly "signs"/pictographs), sealed with seven seals (The Heavenly Menorah - 5 classical planets plus the Sun and Moon). 2 And I saw a mighty malak proclaiming with a loud voice: Who is worthy to open the (Heavenly) Scroll, and to release its seals? 3 And no one in heaven, nor in Earth, neither under the Earth was able to open the (Heavenly) Scroll, neither to look at it. 4 And I wept bitterly, because no one was found worthy to open and to read the (Heavenly)Scroll, neither to look upon it. 5 But one of the elders said to me: Do not weep! Behold (in The Heavenly Scroll, the pictograph of LEO), the Lion of the tribe of Yahudah/Judah (LEO the Lion, associated with the tribe of Yahudah/Judah), the Root of David, has overcome (The Dragon, DRACO/SERPENS/SCORPIO… the meaning behind the constellation LEO and ORION) to open the (Heavenly) Scroll and to release its seven seals. 6 And I looked (into the stars), and behold (in The Heavenly Scroll), in the midst of the throne and the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having complete power and complete knowledge and understanding (The Heavenly Menorah before the Throne), which signify and represent the complete plan of Yahuah (the 7 Spirits/7 stars of Pleiades) sent forth into all the Earth (Psalm 19). 7 And He came and took the (Heavenly) Scroll out of the Right Hand of Him Who sat upon the Throne. 8 And when He had taken the (Heavenly) Scroll, the four living creatures and twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one of them having a harp (LYRA), and golden bowls full of incense (CRATER), which are the prayers of the saints. 9 And they sang a new song, saying: You are Worthy to take the (Heavenly) Scroll, and to open its seals (ARIES); for You were slain (LIBRA), and have redeemed us to Yahuah by Your blood out of every tribe, and language, and people, and nation (PISCES and the Rainbow Throne); 10 And have made us kings and priests to our Father (CANCER); and we will reign upon the Earth (LEO);11 And I looked, and I heard the voice of many malakim (he was looking at the stars) surrounding the Throne, and the (4 living) creatures, and the (24) elders; and the number of them (the stars in the sky which represent malakim/angels) was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, 12 Saying with a loud voice: Worthy is the Lamb Who was (portrayed as) slain (in The Heavenly Scroll Galatians 3:1) to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and Glory, and blessing! 13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the Earth, and under the Earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: Blessing, and honor, and Glory, and power belongs to Him Who sits on the Throne (of Creation, Yahuah), and to the Lamb (who sites on Yahuah's Right Hand), forever and ever! 14 And the four living creatures (the 4 Seraphim in the center Throne room of The Enoch Zodiac) said: HalleluYahuah! And the twenty-four elders (represented by stars in the inner circle of The Enoch Zodiac) fell down and worshiped Him Who lives forever and ever.
The Son of Man ORION the Conquering King wearing the "crown of The Son of Man" with 6 prongs (the number of man) surrounded by 4 living creatures singing "Holy Holy Holy" and 24 elders (stars) falling before The Throne, with the Rainbow Bride under the Altar who have been Redeemed to Yahuah by Yahusha's Blood in a Marriage covenant out of every tribe, and language, and people, and nation (every color of the Rainbow)
34 I give a new commandment to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you also love one another. 35 By this will all know that you are my Disciples: By the love you have for one another.
Yahusha Tells of Kephah's/Peter's Denial
36 Simon Peter said to him; Rabbi, where are you going? Yahusha answered him: Where I go, you cannot follow me now, but you will follow me afterwards. 37 Peter said to him; Rabbi, why cannot I follow you now? I will lay down my life for your sake. 38 Yahusha answered him: Will you lay down your life for my sake? Very honestly, I say to you, the rooster shall not crow till you have denied me three times.


Ok, dear readers, I need to come clean with you all.
I rarely, if ever, like the Greek entries for Eurovision.
I know, I'm going against the grain here, and I'm probably alienating any Greek readers that I have or will have in the future, but few, if any, have ever made much of an impact on me. It's nothing political, I promise (I tend to like what Cyprus serves up!), but the songs that Athens serves up either slip from my memory completely, or they strike me as derivative. I really want to like these songs; often times, their stage shows are out of this world, and you can't deny how much of a spectacle they can be. But, all too often, Greek entries are built on a simple formula: pretty face + danceable melody + bouzouki/lyra or disco break = 12 points from Cyprus.
Here are a few examples, all of which have scored in the Top 10 in the past few years.
2001: Antique, "Die For You", 3rd place.
2004: Sakis Rouvas, "Shake It", 3rd place.
2005: Helena Paparizou (formerly the lead singer of Antique), "My Number One", winner.
2007: Sarbel, "Yassou Maria", 7th place.
2008: Kalomoira, "Secret Combination", 3rd place.
2009: Sakis Rouvas (again), "This Is Our Night", 7th place.
…I was trying to come up with something witty and biting to say here, but I was distracted by the cute backup dancers. What was I talking about again?
Greece will probably sail through to the final, as they always do (especially because they'll be performing in the less-competitive first semifinal), but this year's effort has been somewhat hampered by the nation's dire economic status. Their sponsoring network will only be paying for a bare-bones music video (the one shown in the above embed was supposedly paid for by Alkaios himself) and a limited promotional tour to neighboring nations, as opposed to a more extensive tour of the continent. I'm not suggesting that they're throwing the contest at all, but considering the fact that Greece is going to be receiving a 110 million Euro bailout from the rest of the EU, it might be best that Eurovision 2011 not be held in Athens. But we'll see what happens!

I can totally understand your comment that Greek music always seems derivative, and that it recedes from ones memory very easily, even if it is not necessarily true. It has a homogeneity and a certain heaviness to it, especially the older tunes. Elena Paparizou herself admitted that Greek music to her was a bit of an acquired taste.

Why You May Want to Hire a Court Reporter for Your Arbitration
Court reporters transcribe information during legal proceedings, as a way to capture an official account that can be reviewed at a later time if needed. Hiring a court reporter is not always required for arbitration sessions. However, it can be very helpful to hire a court reporter for one's own protection. Arbitration sessions are intended to reach a middle ground between opposing sides, as a way to avoid having to take the matter to court. If arbitration is not successful, then attending court is the next step towards getting the disagreement settled.
These meetings may be overseen by mediators and attorneys. An attorney can help ensure their client is protected while also striving for a settlement. A mediator can help both parties communicate in such a way that hopefully a resolution is found. Unfortunately, even with all this support, there is still room for miscommunications or misunderstandings, which can then lead to a "he said, she said" type of dispute. Having a court reporter write an official document of what was said can help prevent this from happening.
Mediators Do Not Decide Solution
During arbitration, a mediator's role is not to decide upon or push a specific solution. A mediator helps each party communicate more effectively, explore legal and practical options for settlement, and helps them achieve a common ground over the dispute. Mediators are often hired to assist during arbitration as an unbiased, neutral party who uses techniques to guide the conversation towards resolution.
Prevent Arbitration From Turning Into Litigation
Regardless of if you trust the opposing party during the arbitration, details can still be easily forgotten or misconstrued after the fact. Perhaps you find later on that the opposing party misheard you or interpreted the agreements differently than you had. If there is no evidence of what was said, then the matter may end up in court anyway. A court reporter can come in handy if such a situation were to arise. An experienced and certified court reporter can provide you with the ability to:
Submit an appeal. To submit an appeal, it is required to show proof that rights were violated or there was another interfering factor that caused the arbitration outcome to be questioned. By having a court report, a party in the arbitration who feels they were slighted can use the official document as evidence of wrongdoing or mishap.
Go over agreements again. The opposing parties may have left arbitration thinking they were on the same page regarding the agreements, but then find out they may have misheard or not arrived at the same conclusions. To clarify what was said, both sides can review the transcript created by the court reporter.
Ask the reporter to read a line. During your arbitration with the opposition, if you want something to be repeated that has already been said you can request a line from the court reporter. This can help if the discussion becomes confusing or off track, as all parties can get clarity and back to the point they were trying to make.

/ Thorpe, Jim
Thorpe, Jim
Thorpe, Jim (James Francis Thorpe), 1888–1953, American athlete, b. near Prague, Okla. Thorpe was probably the greatest all-round male athlete the United States has ever produced. His mother, a Sac, named him Bright Path. Orphaned as a teenager, he entered (1907) the Carlisle Indian School at Carlisle, Pa. He joined (1908) the Carlisle football team, coached by Glenn ( Pop ) Warner, and in 1911–12 Thorpe, playing left halfback, led Carlisle in startling upsets over such highly rated teams as Harvard, Army, and the Univ. of Pennsylvania. In 1912, Thorpe took part in the Olympic games held at Stockholm, Sweden, and performed magnificently. He won the broad jump and the 200-meter and 1,500-meter runs of the pentathlon; won the shot put, the 1,500-meter run, and the hurdle race of the decathlon; was the runner-up in the other events of the pentathlon and decathlon; and won the gold medal in both competitions. In 1913, however, Thorpe surrendered his awards, at the request of the Amateur Athletic Union and the insistence of Glenn Warner, to the Olympic headquarters in Switzerland; it had been discovered that Thorpe had played (1909–10) semiprofessional baseball with the Rocky Mount, N.C., team of the North Carolina Eastern League. The medals were restored posthumously in 1982, but he was recognized only as a co-winner of the pentathlon and decathlon in the Olympic record. In 1919, Thorpe played briefly with the New York Giants baseball team. He afterward played professional football with the Canton (Ohio) Bulldogs and other teams, and later became supervisor of recreation for the Chicago parks, gave lectures, and worked at various jobs in California, where he died. Jim Thorpe, Pa., where he was buried in 1954, is named in his honor. With T. F. Collison, he wrote Jim Thorpe's History of the Olympics (1932).

← Tournament of Classics 2017: Lizzie for the Win!
Every year, Bas Bleu's editors travel to book and gift trade shows, meeting with publishers and merchandise vendors to see their latest and greatest offerings, so that we can select the best of the best for our customers. For the past few years, editor AG has attended the annual London Book Fair to check out the British publishing scene…and to do a little sightseeing. This year's trip turned into a bit of a literary tour! She recently returned from her adventure across the pond and agreed to share some of the highlights with us in the Bluestocking Salon.
Last year when I attended the LBF, I brought the whole family with me—including my husband, our four-year-old daughter, and our one-year-old son. We had a grand time, but between snacks breaks, nap times, and exhaustion-fueled meltdowns, we didn't quite get to see everything that we wanted to see.
No visit to Bath is complete without a trip to the Roman Baths. The Celts were the first to build a shrine (to the goddess Sulis) over the hot springs.
This year, thanks to the generosity of not one but TWO grandmothers, my husband and I experienced a week in England without the kids! We arrived in advance of the book fair and headed straight to the city of Bath, a short train ride from Heathrow Airport (which is easy to do, if impatient tiny people aren't in tow). We spent a beautiful weekend in Bath, soaking up the history of the ancient Roman culture and the Gothic majesty of the Bath Abbey—we even took a day trip to explore Stonehenge! But the bookish highlight of our sojourn in Somerset was our visit to the Jane Austen Centre.
Visitors receive a quick rundown on the Austen family at the Jane Austen Centre in Bath.
Located in an authentic Georgian townhouse, the Jane Austen Centre offers a wealth of info about the author and her association with the city of Bath. (She lived there from 1801 to 1806 and set two of her beloved novels in the city, as well.) The small museum includes an interesting exhibit about Austen's life in the city, but its true draw is the time-traveling experience—the costumed character actors, the delightful Regency Tea Room, and, of course, the opportunity to dress up in real Regency wear and pose with Mr. Darcy! I'd say we fully took advantage of our time there.
AG was thrilled to have her photo taken with Mr. Darcy!
AG and Mr. AG decked out in Regency gear at the Jane Austen Centre.
At the close of the weekend, we hopped a train back to the big city, dropped off our bags, and crossed the River Thames in search of Shakespeare's Globe, an oak-and-thatch replica of the original Elizabethan playhouse. We had tickets to a performance of "The White Devil," an entirely candlelit reimagining of a Jacobean tale by John Webster. While our play took place in the more modern Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, we very authentically chose the cheap "standing seats," and had to crane our necks to see the stage. Despite the discomfort, we greatly enjoyed the dark drama inspired by real-life events in Renaissance Italy.
After a long day exploring the Egyptian and Greek relics at the British Museum, the next evening's activity was decidedly lighter! We went to a comedy theater to see a Jane Austen improv group. You read that right: Jane. Austen. Improv. In a special performance to coincide with the London Book Fair, the improv troup Austentatious culled a packed house for suggestions for the title of a "lost" Austen novel. Which is how we came to be watching a brilliant comedy of manners entitled Trump and Trepidation, wherein Mr. Trump and Mr. Spicer vied for the hand of young Miss Sanders, as Miss Conway doled out questionable advice. The audience loved it, and we Americans were particularly struck by how deeply familiar the Brits were with our country's political happenings.
Then, of course, it was time to get down to business: the book fair! I had a day filled with meetings with publishers and wandering the floor looking for British titles that might resonate with our audience. I think I found several good bets for our upcoming catalogs. (Great finds from last year's trip include: Orchids on Your Budget, Quips, Quotes and Retorts for Oldies, and Trial and Error.) I hope you think so, too!

This entry was tagged Jane Austen, Pride & Prejudice, travel. Bookmark the permalink.
They made the most of it that they could, complete with instructions from the rest of us to take plenty of photographs so we could share them with our readers!
I fell in love with Bath during the Jane Austen Festival a few years ago. I love the tea with Mr. Darcy! I sat with him brooding down on me too. I can't wait to see what the finds from the LBF were. I interned for Bloomsbury one semester in college and I love Brit Lit!
We were fortunate enough to live in northern Yorkshire for 5 years and I was able to travel all around England during that time seeing what I wanted, didn't want, book fairs, and many wonderful sites–never enough time!! I Love the UK!
Thank you for all the British titles!!!
Sounds like a dream, Terry. Thanks for sharing, and thanks for supporting Bas Bleu!
Being a British citizen and only being able to go home once a year; reading these comments makes me smile and feel as though I was home right now hearing the kettle on the boil!

LONDON — A facility described as the U.K.'s "very first massive-scale lithium refinery" will be positioned in the north of England, with individuals driving the undertaking hoping its output will strike around 50,000 metric tons each individual yr when up and managing.
On Monday, a assertion introduced by Environmentally friendly Lithium on the web site of the London Inventory Trade stated building of the £600 million (all-around $687 million) task was predicted to very last 3 many years, with commissioning slated for 2025.
The refinery will be based at Teesport, a main port on Teesside. Inexperienced Lithium reported its product would "go into the supply chain for lithium-ion batteries, power storage, grid stabilisation and EV batteries."
Together with its use in mobile phones, desktops, tablets and a host of other gizmos synonymous with fashionable lifestyle, lithium — which some have dubbed "white gold" — is essential to the batteries that electric power electrical cars.
The U.K. wishes to stop the sale of new diesel and gasoline cars and vans by 2030. It will involve, from 2035, all new automobiles and vans to have zero tailpipe emissions. The European Union, which the U.K. left on Jan. 31, 2020, is pursuing identical targets.
Examine additional about electric powered automobiles from CNBC Pro
With desire for lithium soaring, European economies are trying to shore up their possess supplies and reduce dependency on other components of the entire world.
In a translation of her Point out of the Union speech past month, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen explained "lithium and rare earths will shortly be additional essential than oil and gasoline."
As nicely as addressing stability of offer, von der Leyen, who switched among a number of languages for the duration of her speech, also pressured the relevance of processing.
"Now, China controls the international processing sector," she said. "Pretty much 90% … of unusual earth[s] and 60% of lithium are processed in China."
"So we will identify strategic jobs all along the supply chain, from extracting to refining, from processing to recycling," she additional. "And we will construct up strategic reserves the place offer is at chance."
Study much more about strength from CNBC Professional
Again in the U.K., Business enterprise Secretary Grant Shapps stated Eco-friendly Lithium's refinery would "deliver a lot more than 1,000 work opportunities throughout its development and 250 extended-time period, large-ability employment for neighborhood people today when in procedure."
"It is also making it possible for us to shift promptly to safe our offer chains of vital minerals, as we know that geopolitical threats and world-wide events beyond our regulate can severely impression the offer of essential parts that could delay the rollout of electric motor vehicles in the United kingdom," he included.
The information about Green Lithium will come soon after Britishvolt, an additional company on the lookout to set up a foothold in the electric powered car or truck sector, mentioned it had secured short-expression funding that would empower it to stave off administration for the time becoming. The business said its personnel had also agreed to a spend cut for November.

Porsche 911 Dakar Shown Testing; Off-Roader to Debut at L.A. Show


DJ Adrian Cronauer (an Oscar-nominated Robin Williams) causes uproar when he arrives in war-torn 1965 Saigon to take over the early morning radio show.
His irreverent humour soon offends the top brass, in the form of Lt.

Meanwhile, Cronauer shows a more sober side to his character in his romance with Trinh, a local Vietnamese woman (Chintara Sukapatana).


Non-invasive assessment of intratumoral vascularity using arterial spin labeling: A comparison to susceptibility-weighted imaging for the differentiation of primary cerebral lymphoma and glioblastoma.
Using conventional MRI methods, the differentiation of primary cerebral lymphomas (PCNSL) and other primary brain tumors, such as glioblastomas, is difficult due to overlapping imaging characteristics. This study was designed to discriminate tumor entities using normalized vascular intratumoral signal intensity values (nVITS) obtained from pulsed arterial spin labeling (PASL), combined with intratumoral susceptibility signals (ITSS) from susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI). Thirty consecutive patients with glioblastoma (n=22) and PCNSL (n=8), histologically classified according to the WHO brain tumor classification, were included. MRIs were acquired on a 3T scanner, and included PASL and SWI sequences. nVITS was defined by the signal intensity ratio between the tumor and the contralateral normal brain tissue, as obtained by PASL images. ITSS was determined as intratumoral low signal intensity structures detected on SWI sequences and were divided into four different grades. Potential differences in the nVITS and ITSS between glioblastomas and PCNSLs were revealed using statistical testing. To determine sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy, as well as an optimum cut-off value for the differentiation of PCNSL and glioblastoma, a receiver operating characteristic analysis was used. We found that nVITS (p=0.011) and ITSS (p=0.001) values were significantly higher in glioblastoma than in PCNSL. The optimal cut-off value for nVITS was 1.41 and 1.5 for ITSS, with a sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of more than 95%. These findings indicate that nVITS values have a comparable diagnostic accuracy to ITSS values in differentiating glioblastoma and PCNSL, offering a completely non-invasive and fast assessment of tumoral vascularity in a clinical setting.

Which U.S. cities are most impacted by hurricanes and tornadoes?
U.K. city, London, U.N. Climate change, Uighur people, climate-related issues, drought, floods, climate change article A series of major hurricanes, tornadoes and hurricanes in the U.R.I.S., including a Category 4 hurricane in Japan, have killed more than 300,000 people and destroyed more than 1 million homes and businesses in the past two years, the United Nations says.
In some regions, such as the Uighurs, a Muslim minority in China, the number of deaths has reached up to two million people.
The U. N. said Friday that about two-thirds of all the fatalities have occurred in Asia, including China, India, the Philippines and Malaysia.
About 2.3 million people have been displaced.
About 40 percent of the population are Uighus, a Turkic people in China.
The U.U.N., which has been calling for stronger action on climate change and in combating the threat of climate change for years, said the Urumqi disaster has shown that the region needs to act more quickly.
"It is time for the Ural region to take action to protect the lives of Uighuras and to reduce the impacts of climate-induced risks," U. U.B.C. professor and U. B.C.-based climate scientist Mark Serreze said in a statement.
"If Urumpris does not act now, the UU will have been left behind."

Researchers at Brown and Johns Hopkins universities have recommended health agencies offer drug testing kits that can detect fentanyl in order to prevent fatal overdoses.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Researchers at Brown and Johns Hopkins universities have recommended health agencies offer drug testing kits that can detect fentanyl in order to prevent fatal overdoses.
The Providence Journal reports authors of the Fentanyl Overdose Reduction Checking Analysis Study found that testing kits could save lives or potentially curb drug use. The study was completed over a six-month period and had components in Providence, Baltimore and Boston.
Researchers determined heroin that has been adulterated with fentanyl and other synthetic opioids contributed to the rise in overdose deaths in recent years. The study found that drug users who used the testing kits were concerned about fentanyl and wanted to protect themselves.
Researchers have compared the kits to other public health tools like needle exchanges.

Telegraph View: the EU's latest barminess - threatening gardeners with heavy fines for using coffee grounds to repel slugs.
The crisis in the eurozone may threaten to wreck our economy; but the EU also has the wherewithal to destroy something far more precious: our gardens. According to a warning issued by the Royal Horticultural Society, many of the home-made remedies intended to counter the plague of slugs that has bedevilled this sodden summer fall foul of European regulations . The use of organic deterrents, such as coffee grounds, may carry a heavy fine, whereas chemical killers such as slug pellets are acceptable because they have been approved by Brussels. Anything that has not been through the regulatory system is illegal to use as a pesticide, however safe the material is perceived to be. Does that include orange peel to deter cats, or jam and water to drown wasps? Who is going to check? The RHS says it all sounds "rather daft". Barmy, more like.

India on Wednesday successfully put into orbit its latest communication satellite with its heaviest rocket and the new space mission is expected to serve the communication needs of people in the remote areas of the country.
The textbook launch of the rocket GSLV-MkIII-D, which is dubbed by the ISRO as the 'Bahubali' or "fat boy" of Indian rockets, is also seen as crucial for the space agency as it would be used for the ambitious Chandrayaan-2(lunar mission) and the country's planned manned space mission. The 3,423 kg satellite GSAT-29 is also the heaviest Indian satellite to be put into orbit.
Indian Space Research Organisation(ISRO) chief K Sivan said while the rocket's first operational mission was going to be "none other than Chandrayaan" in January 2019, "this fantastic vehicle is going to carry humans to space in three years from now."
ISRO has set a 'target' of achieving the country's ambitious manned mission to space by 2021, with the first unmanned programme of 'Gaganyaan' planned for December 2020, according to Sivan.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced in his Independence Day address this year that India will attempt to send an astronaut to space by 2022 on board 'Gaganyaan'.
The 27-hour-countdown for the Wednesday launch began at 2.50pm Tuesday and the rocket blasted off at 5.08 pm from the spaceport at Sriharikota over 100 km from Chennai.
The satellite carries Ka and Ku band high throughput transponders which will provide communication services to remote places in the North East and Jammu and Kashmir, besides aid the Centre's Digital India programme, Sivan said.
ISRO scientists broke into cheers as the satellite was injected into a geosynchronous orbit, 16 minutes after lift-off.
"I am extremely happy to declare that our heaviest launcher in its second mission has lifted the heaviest satellite, GSAT 29 from Indian soil, and after a majestic travel of 16 minutes, it precisely injected it into the intended Geo Transfer Orbit," he said.
Cyclone Gaja had clouded the launch plans but with its changing course and conducive weather conditions prevailing, the rocket blasted off on schedule.
Vice-President M Venkaiah Naidu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated the ISRO scientists for the successful mission, saying it would boost the communication services in the remotest corners of the country.
Modi said the satellite would provide communication and internet services to the remotest corners of the country.
"My heartiest congratulations to our scientists on the successful launch of GSLV MK III-D2 carrying GSAT-29 satellite. The double success sets a new record of putting the heaviest satellite in orbit by an Indian launch vehicle," he tweeted.
The satellite would be placed in its final Geostationary Orbit using the on-board propulsion system and it may take a few days after separation from launcher to reach the orbital slot, the ISRO said.
The GSLV-MkIII-D2 is a three-stage launch vehicle with two solid strap-ons, a liquid core stage and a cryogenic upper stage.
Compared to solid and liquid stages, the C25 cryogenic stage is more efficient as well as complex.
According to ISRO, the GSAT-29 satellite is intended to serve as a test bed for several new technologies.
It is specifically designed to cater to communication requirements of users from remote areas of the country.
The mission life is about 10 years. GSLV-MkIII is the fifth generation launch vehicle developed by the ISRO and is designed to place satellites of upto 4,000 kg in GTO.
The launch vehicle is the 67th launch mission from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota with GSAT-29 being the 33rd communication satellite built by the ISRO for which this will be the fifth launch this year.


The ductus arteriosus is a vital fetal blood vessel that diverts blood away from the fetus's lungs and towards the placenta during life inside the uterus. After birth it is essential that the ductus arteriosus constricts and obliterates itself so that the normal postnatal pattern of blood flow can be established. Essentially all full term infants will have closed their ductus by the third day after birth. Preterm infants of less than 30 weeks gestation have a high chance of having a persistently open or patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). If the ductus arteriosus remains open it contributes to the development of several neonatal morbidities: prolonged ventilator dependency, pulmonary hemorrhage, pulmonary edema, chronic lung disease and necrotizing enterocolitis. Our laboratory has been studying the factors that regulate normal closure of the ductus arteriosus in full term infants and abnormal persistent ductal patency in preterm infants. Approaches used to study this problem are: controlled clinical trials, integrated whole animal physiology, in vitro organ culture, and cell biology.

Q: Google sheets scripts--how to refer to a cell given a row? I'm new to google scripts/Javascript, and I'm having a problem with what I'm guessing is the way I refer to specific cells. I'm going off of code I found on google here (https://developers.google.com/apps-script/articles/removing_duplicates) except that instead of removing duplicate rows (which is what their script does) I instead want to color the background of the first cell orange. It doesn't work correctly at the moment, instead some duplicate cells are colored and some are not, and some non-duplicate cells are colored, some aren't. My guess was that since the array is 0-indexed but the sheet is 1-indexed, I needed to do sheet.getRange(i+1,1) but this gives me an error. Can anyone help push me in the right direction?
function checkDuplicates() {
  var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
  var data = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
  var newData = new Array();
  for(i in data){
    var row = data[i];
    var duplicate = false;
    for(j in newData){
      if(row[0] == newData[j][0]){
        duplicate = true;
        Logger.log(i,j)
        var dup = sheet.getRange(i,1);
        dup.setBackground('orange')
      }
    }
    if(!duplicate){
      newData.push(row);
    }
  }
 }

A: I played around with this and I find that it works better for me this way.
  function checkDuplicates()
  {
  var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
  var data = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
  var newData = new Array();
  for(var i=0;i<data.length;i++){//changed loop
    var row = data[i];
    var duplicate = false;
    for(var j=0;j<newData.length;j++){//changed loop
      if(row[0] == newData[j][0]){
        duplicate = true;
        Logger.log('%s,%s',String(i),String(j));//got and error saying that it required string parameters
        var dup = sheet.getRange(i+1,1);//changed to i+1
        dup.setBackground('orange')
      }
    }
    if(!duplicate){
      newData.push(row);

Actress Kate Hudson to Release Debut Album in 2023: "I'm Not Into Being a Pop Star"
by Tina Benitez-Eves December 14, 2022, 10:03 am
Actress Kate Hudson is planning to release her debut album in 2023.
The actress has revealed that she has been writing songs and working on a new album over the past year and plans to release several singles before her debut full-length album in 2023.
Hudson, 43, has been writing songs since she was a teenager and admitted that she finally found the courage to make an album during the pandemic in a recent interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
"I love to sing," said Hudson. "I just feel weird saying it." She added, "I had this thing in COVID. Every time you're doing interviews, people are like 'Do you have any regrets?' … During COVID I was like 'what am I doing?' I've been writing music since I was 19, and I've never shared it. I just thought that would be one of my great regrets."
Hudson previously appeared on the television musical Glee and appears on Sia's soundtrack for the 2021 film Music, but has never released any of her original material.
In 1972, Kate's mother actress Goldie Hawn also released Goldie, a covers album, featuring her renditions of songs by Bob Dylan, Dolly Parton, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Bill Monroe, and more, while her father Bill Hudson performed with his siblings in The Hudson Brothers.
"I don't want to categorize it," said Hudson during an interview on the NBC morning show's 3rd Hour of TODAY on Dec. 14. "I've been writing songs my whole life [and] I've been afraid to put that out."
She added, "There are no expectations. I'm not into being a pop star. I just want to write and sing."
