This week we held the last session of the online elective course on the Circle of Health with 20 students from Furtwangen University in Germany.
The students are now asking for examples of projects where the Circle of Health is being used. You can help! We are looking for some new stories to share with them - so please reply and send along any links that would be helpful to these students as they embark on their careers.
This elective course was offered by Furtwangen University for the first time and built on the workshop series offered by The Quaich Inc. twice a year. Based on positive feedback from the students, offering the course next year is a good possibility.
Although the students' first language is German and the course was taught in English, facilitator Patsy Beattie-Huggan found it to be a great teaching experience. It reinforced the value of progressive learning through 5 weekly sessions supported by assignments and a final case study. She was impressed with the interest and creativity of the students and their efforts to interact and write in English. There was some accommodation - small online group discussions were in German with reporting on a whiteboard in English.
"Just the right mixture of a nice experience, learning, changing and some good talk. Your always kind and supportive way to animate, motivated us."
"Thank you for the special kind of course and for explaining the COH. We would be pleased to welcome you in Furtwangen!"

DUE PROCESS? AOC, Warren, Harris Demand Kavanaugh's IMPEACHMENT Following Botched NYT Article
Prominent Democrats demanded the impeachment of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh Monday; citing a botched New York Times article that was eventually corrected by the national newspaper after widespread criticism.
"Last year the Kavanaugh nomination was rammed through the Senate without a thorough examination of the allegations against him. Confirmation is not exoneration, and these newest revelations are disturbing. Like the man who appointed him, Kavanaugh should be impeached," posted Warren on social media.

"Brett Kavanaugh was put on the Court through a sham process and his place on the Court is an insult to the pursuit of truth and justice. He must be impeached. Sign our petition if you agree," added Harris.

"This was almost a year ago. It is unsurprising that Kavanaugh, credibly accused of sexual assault, would lie under oath to secure a Supreme Court seat. Because sexual assault isn't a crime of passion – it's about the abuse of power. He must be impeached," wrote Ocasio-Cortez.

The New York Times found itself in hot-water over the weekend after publishing an explosive "bombshell" on Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh; posting sections of a new book that contained unfounded allegations of sexual abuse during his time in college.
"The New York Times suddenly made a major revision to a supposed bombshell piece late Sunday concerning a resurfaced allegation of sexual assault by Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh — hours after virtually all 2020 Democratic presidential candidates had cited the original article as a reason to impeach Kavanaugh," reports Fox News.
"The update included the significant detail that several friends of the alleged victim said she did not recall the purported sexual assault in question at all. The Times also stated for the first time that the alleged victim refused to be interviewed, and has made no comment about the episode," adds Fox.
We deleted a previous tweet regarding this article. It was offensive, and we apologize. https://t.co/gbUdweKbDg

"Editors' Note: Sept. 15, 2019
An earlier version of this article, which was adapted from a forthcoming book, did not include one element of the book's account regarding an assertion by a Yale classmate that friends of Brett Kavanaugh pushed his penis into the hand of a female student at a drunken dorm party. The book reports that the female student declined to be interviewed and friends say that she does not recall the incident. That information has been added to the article," updated the Times.

BAD EDUCATION: Minnesota Teacher Placed on 'PAID Leave' After 'Kill Kavanaugh' Tweet
A teacher in Minnesota was placed 'on paid leave' earlier this week following a vicious tweet that urged liberal activists to "kill" President Trump's newest appointment to the US Supreme Court.
The unnamed instructor took to Twitter Saturday just hours after the Senate voted to place Judge Brett Kavanaugh on the nation's highest court, writing "So whose gonna take one for the team and kill Kavanaugh?"

WINDOWS OF LEEDS
On the occasion of the British Art Show opening at Leeds Art Gallery I commissioned Unfold, a programme of events, exhibitions and marketing showcasing the wider visual arts scene in the city. Although the marketing and event raised the profile of the full spectrum of visual arts in the city, in order to reach out to new audiences and remind them that the city's galleries, studios, workshops and classrooms were waiting for them we wanted a more visible and permanent reference.
I commissioned two new pieces of public art in high footfall areas, one of which was Windows of Leeds in the busy Leeds Railways Station reminding commuters that there is more to the city that meets the eye and welcoming visitors new and old. The project also included the commissioning of the George Street Mural.
Leeds Railway Station will soon welcome more people per day than Gatwick Airport, yet its interior is dated and shabby, there was little in the train station to locate visitors and the Tourist Information Centre had recently closed. Many key stakeholders in the city were keen to see an improvement and wanted a message of 'welcome' for new arrivals, particularly international visitors who would be getting their first impression of the city travelling to the station from Manchester Airport and London. The busy station offered an ideal platform to remind to people that there is more to the city than meets eye as often galleries and studios are not clearly sign posted and can be hard to find if you don't know where to look.
Originally the brief asked for a 'Welcome to Leeds' sign that could be suspended from the back of the information screens and be a prominent and visual marker on arrival. The train station is a complex environment to work within, managing high volumes of pedestrian traffic at peak times, mitigating visual clutter and managing the tricky balance of the need for commercial advertising space with the opportunity to support city messaging and major events. The brief was to create a welcome sign that would also act as a platform for the creativity and artistic talent in the city without upsetting the balance of city messaging versus advertising.
Something More put forward a bold proposal which suggested a move away from the screens which are not in the obvious sight line of arrivals and rather than an overt and obvious messages of welcome in the usual array of languages, something that was more of a focal point and landmark for new arrivals. Their proposal drew inspiration from the large letters other cities have adopted at gateways such as Amsterdam's I Amsterdam sign at Schipol International Airport, but with a creative twist that would give a high profile and adaptable platform to artists and designers in the city.
The proposal was to create large letters that could have the inner panels changed to either advertise major cultural events or to showcase the talent in the city. The first iteration of the project worked with the city's illustrators and graphic designers to create five different takes on the cultural life of the city. A risky proposal to support given that it didn't meet the stakeholder demand for a sign that specifically read 'Welcome to Leeds' or utilise the preferred space at the back of the screens, however this proposal was by far the most creative, the most flexible and would achieve what stakeholders wanted without feeling like an obvious and cliched exercise in marketing and branding.
We went ahead with the proposal and were able to negotiate with the train station to find a prominent new site for the letters, which now have a permanent home in the station and a six month rolling programme of new inner panels each time featuring an different artistic discipline and artist or collaborations connected to the city. The letters have become a much photographed meeting point for the thousands of people who use the station every day and a reminder that the city is also home to a diverse artistic community of illustrators, graphic designers, artists, photographers and more.

Sara and Jeff's wedding at Lake Como, Italy, started off with the rehearsal dinner at Grand Hotel Tremezzo, where all their good friends around the world gathered. Also, to have the best pizza in the world. It was the first days of September and the weather was perfect. But, we were not ready for the rain just before the ceremony the next day at Villa Pizzo. People are used to seeing some gorgeous sunny Lake Como wedding photography and it hardly rains there. Sara was crying and we all tried to cheer her up. Especially the father who was the nicest guy ever. I took some beautiful, candid photographs during those quiet moments when Sara was down. It was just so beautiful in a way and I knew everything's gonna be just fine.
The rain never-ever had any impact over my working methods to capture photographs, I even love the rain, so my enthusiasm about it had an impact and we ordered over 50 umbrellas from the local store in 15 minutes. And, soon we were ready to have a very heart moving wedding ceremony at the terrace of Villa Pizzo by the lake. The villa is a perfect place to have the most gorgeous weddings by the lake.


Listed under Archeology Museums in Chania, Greece.
As one of the most historic looking cities on an island known for its history, Chania's museum would be expected to have some treasures in its inventory. There are plenty of archaeologically interesting sites in the local area, and this museum, built into what was originally the Venetian church of San Francesco, is home to some of the best local finds. Its treasures come from the Neolithic and Minoan periods to the Roman age, with a special interest in weapons from the Minoan necropolis, and pottery, including Hellenistic statues and vases with striking geometric designs unique to the Minoans.
Coins from the Roman period are the most common pieces from the more modern collections.


When the area between Wellington Street, Strand and Fleet Street was reconstructed in the last years of the nineteenth century much of London's old theatreland was wiped out. The new streets of Aldwych and Kingsway were constructed and plans were made for the building of two theatres with identical facades along the Aldwych, one on the corner of Catherine Street, the other on the corner of Drury Lane. Between the two theatres there was to be a magnificent hotel, The Waldorf.
Not far off its centenary, the theatre is today once again owned by an American, James Nederlander, and operated by Michael Codron Plays.

Newly-appointed captain Tommy Rowe says Doncaster Rovers are concentrating on themselves this season.
Southend United are tomorrow's opening day opponents - and the due diligence has been done on Chris Powell's side.
But Rowe says new boss Grant McCann has got his squad focused primarily on themselves and what they can do.
"I think this season what we've done is focus on us as a group," said Rowe.
"It's all about us - us as a unit, us as a group. Where can we go? What do we want to achieve?
"It's not a lack of respect [for other teams].
"It's just confidence, and trying to push this group of players to a level where we know we can go.
Rowe is reluctant to publicise his own and his team's specific targets for the season but makes no secret of the squad's ambition to play at a higher level.
"We've got to have a vision and ambition, and we all want to play at a higher level," he said.
"No one is satisfied with League One, no disrespect to the league.
"But football is about advancement and we want to go that next level which is the Championship.
"There's no reason we shouldn't tell the press that we want to play higher because everyone knows that's where we want to go.
"We'll go about or business quietly in terms of learning and improving throughout the season, and picking up new things because it is a new manager and a new squad."

The verse in this collection is meant to be read aloudalongside the title poem are pitch instructions: "'skin,' high soprano register; 'Meat,' tenor; 'bones,' basso profundo." As if they were notes, Waldman plays with words, with their sounds and rhythms, placing them in various configurations within the poetry, which makes the verse disjointed, destroys coherence and strains comprehension. But the sound of each word seems to be crucially important to this poet: "Words remain in memory/ their essential simplicity & strength/ likeopen air & fresh water elements." Several pieces digress meaninglessly from their theme. Only a few succeed as poems qua poems. The rest must be read aloud.

With any type of event that is happening there is always a behind-the-scenes. This is ever so true when it comes to sports. One of the sports that require the most setup and planning is football. Ryan Shockey, who was recently announced as the athletic director of Olivet College, is the man in charge of all the preparation for sports.
The position does come with it's own challenges, especially when coordinating the college's football games during the fall season, but Shockey is the man for the job as he maintains that preparation and communication are what is key. "Planning on the number of people showing up, and communication.
Communication is the most important," Shockey said, who works to continually push for growth in attendance at athletic events. "How can we improve? How can we get more money and people to the games? I am always trying to compete to get more money and people into the sporting events," said Shockey.
In addition to promoting games, Shockey oversees a crew of five to 10 workers, which range from his intern, to maintenance workers and students of Olivet College. Each of these individuals are assigned certain jobs: ticket sales, Pyne Pavilion security, camera operator in the press box and runners.
"The job as a runner is if someone needs something then the runners take care of it. Almost like a right hand man for Shockey. Runners are there for people when he is busy," said senior Stephen Botti, who currently interns for Shockey.
Marty Pierson, maintenance tradesperson at Olivet College, noticed a dramatic characteristic that will make Shockey a great athletic director. "He is very active, pays attention to the little things," said Pierson, adding that on game days "Shockey is everywhere; when a problem occurs you can find him. It's great to have an athletic director who cares so much."

The corporate watchdog has warned Australia's customer-owned banks that they are not immune from the risks associated with poor corporate culture and subsequent "less than satisfactory" consumer outcomes.
Addressing the 2015 Customer Owned Banking Convention in Darwin on Monday, ASIC commissioner John Price said that the regulator has enjoyed a productive and cooperative relationship with the mutual banking industry over the last 15 years.
Mr Price praised the industry's core values of mutuality, cooperation and self-help.
Speaking about the regulator's focus on culture and trust in the financial service industry, the commissioner emphasised that ASIC expects firms to 'do the right thing' by their customers and comply with the law.
"Where culture is poor or not aligned with customers' reasonable expectations, the conduct of the entities ASIC regulates can lead to less than satisfactory consumer outcomes," Mr Price said.
ASIC is considering cultural indicators in its surveillance work, Mr Price said. While the regulator is specifically looking at culture as part of its surveillances, this is not new – ASIC has always considered indicators and factors that drive poor behaviour, he said.
"What we are doing in this culture work is 'joining the dots' on the very concrete aspects of the way firms operate to give us a better picture of their culture and how that might affect consumer outcomes," he said.
Poor culture, together with poorly designed financial incentives, can be an indicator and a driver of poor conduct, Mr Price said.

Tarantino, Scorsese, Payne and the Art of Direction
Posted on May 2, 2019 by David Neame
When it comes to movies, I consider myself quite the fanatic. While I have several actors I enjoy watching on the screen, it's the great directors who often get me excited to see a movie. A great director will take the audience with the characters on a journey, keeping them interested the entire way.
Here is a closer look at three of my favorite directors:
Truth be told, I picked Payne because he's from the Omaha, Nebraska area and has filmed several of his films here … as well as my neighboring hometown. If hard pressed, I'd likely choose Wes Anderson ("Bottle Rocket," "Rushmore,") or Francis Ford Coppola ("Godfather," "Apocalypse Now") as my third-favorite director, but that doesn't mean I don't like Payne's work as well.
His film "Citizen Ruth" was not only filmed in my hometown, but my friend's sister and brother-in-law both got brief screen time in the picture, ass did a guy I worked with for a short while and a woman my grandmother used to babysit.
"Election" was filmed in the town I was a sports editor in for some time. Though I didn't work in the town when it was filmed, I did work there before it came out on video. "About Schmidt" also had much of the movie set in the Omaha area.
While I enjoy all three of these movies, the added "I know where that is" or "I've been there" factor adds to the enjoyment. That being said, his next film, "Sideways," was probably my favorite of his to date. And "Sideways" was filmed and set in California.
What I enjoy from all of Payne's films is his way of taking the audience with him on the journey and his ability to tell this story of the often-flawed characters.
Scorsese has a long history of directing great films, a list that includes some of my all-time favorites. With movies like "Taxi Driver" and "Mean Streets," released in the 1970s, "Raging Bull" in the 1980s and "Gangs of New York," "Aviator," and "The Departed," in the last decade, Scorsese is a director who has withstood the changes in the movie-going society over time.
My two favorite films of his are "Goodfellas" and "Casino." Both based on true story adaptation of books by Nicholas Pileggi, Scorsese brings these characters' world to the screen in a way only he can. In "Goodfellas," he provides us with one of the best scenes ever put on film. The main character Henry Hill, played by Ray Liotta, takes his date to a night at the Copacabana, but there's a line outside. No worry for Hill, who takes his date in the back door, through the kitchen and to their seat right up front to see Henny Youngman. All done in one shot with a steady cam.
In "Casino," Scorsese's best shot comes in the middle of the desert. As Robert DeNiro waits for Joe Pesci to arrive, he proclaims his chances of surviving the meeting are "Fifty-fifty." Then a car races through the desert, reflected on the sunglasses worn by DeNiro.
Tarantino is a rare director who has built both a strong cult following and is a box office draw for the masses. The former video store clerk takes his knowledge of film, music, television and pop culture and interweaves it with his stories to bring out some of the best dialogue ever seen on the big screen. Whether it's the commode story, discussing the true meaning of Madonna's Like a Virgin , debating when to tip in "Reservoir Dogs," or the Superman speech in "Kill Bill: Volume 2," Tarantino has a way of having his characters have conversations that don't feel forced and depth to the story and characters.
He also mixes in a great soundtrack, sometimes of forgotten gems from the past, into his films. From Little Green Bag in Reservoir Dogs, Down in Mexico in "Death Proof" or Never Can Tell in Pulp Fiction, Tarantino has a way of picking a classic song and mixing it with an unforgettable moment. Then there's what he did with the Steelers Wheel song Stuck in the Middle with You, which I'll likely never be able to get out of my head due to its ultra-violent imagery.
As for the filming itself, Tarantino has made famous the trunk angle shot, as well as the so-called Mexican-standoff. My two favorite scenes are the opening to "Reservoir Dogs," a slow motion introduction to the characters, and the House of Blue Leaves single shot steady cam in "Kill Bill: Volume 1," and the trailer fight in "Kill Bill: Volume 2."


Distinguishing Characteristics: White male. Brown hair, green eyes. Brucks wears wire-rimmed eyeglasses. His nickname is Doug. Clothing/Jewelry Description: A tan vest, a black turtleneck, jeans with a hole in the knee, and sneakers.
Medical Conditions: Brucks has a history of alcohol and prescription drug abuse.
Brucks was last seen when his mother dropped him off at the Country Kitchen restaurant in Jefferson City, Missouri on the evening of April 10, 1995. He planned to meet an unidentified person there. On April 11, Brucks called his mother and said he was "at the lake" and someone else was going to give him a ride home. He was supposed to drive his mother and his mother's friend to St. Louis, Missouri that day, but never showed up. He has never been heard from again.
At the time he went missing, Brucks was carrying a $5,000 check from an insurance policy. The check was later cashed in Columbia, Missouri. The identity of the person who cashed the check is known, but the individual's name has not been publicly released. He had struggled with addiction for about ten years prior to his disappearance; he'd been through rehabilitation several times but couldn't stay clean. His sister believes it's possible someone Brucks met in one of the addiction treatment programs harmed him.
Brucks left behind a young son. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance are unclear, but foul play is suspected.

Why We Are Bringing Access Hire and Access Lease to Rail Live 2021
Rail Live is one of the most important annual events for the rail industry, bringing together an incredible selection of experts and specialist vendors. This year's event will take place on June 16-17th at the Quinton Rail Technology Centre in Warwickshire, and we are very excited to say that Access Hire will be in attendance.
Over the years, we have been a trusted partner on numerous major rail projects, providing innovative Vehicle Mounted Access Platforms (VMAPs) and market leading support. So this year, we're hoping to shine a light on two key topics:
1. Working at Heights
Working at heights is the single largest cause of workplace fatalities in the UK, and many rail projects require site workers to do just that. Workers might, for example, need to prune trees that are endangering rail lines, and in order to do so they'll often need to use Vehicle Mounted Access Platforms.
As experts in this area, we want to demonstrate the vital steps that must be taken to ensure workers are safe when working at heights. This includes checking the project's surroundings, as well as the ground and weather conditions; properly factoring workers' weight into your safety assessments; and ensuring workers have proper training.
Finally, Vehicle Mounted Access Platforms require regular, detailed maintenance to ensure they are working at full capacity and can guarantee the health and safety of workers. This brings us onto the other subject we're hoping to illuminate:
2. Reliable Support on Large-Scale projects
Rail projects are often extremely complex, and managing them is a continual challenge. We believe it is the job of specialist equipment providers to ease this burden, by offering trustworthy, reliable support at all times.
Project managers should be able to feel confident that they will always have easy access to high-quality, reliable equipment backed up by market leading 24/7/365 support from industry experts – which is exactly what we offer at Access Hire and Access Lease.
With over 200 years' combined experience, we understand how important trust and support is for rail and other key infrastructure projects. We are therefore dedicated to ensuring we offer peerless service and support to every single project we partner with.
We are looking forward to bringing our Vehicle Mounted Access Platform expertise to the event, and learning lots from the many other impressive attendees.
Kelling Group will also be represented at Rail Live by our Sister Company – Welfare Hire. Find out more about their innovative equipment here.
World Environment Day – Saturday 5th June
The advantages of eco friendly welfare units. How Welfare Hire's welfare units are helping businesses contribute towards a healthier planet.
World Environment Day is the United Nations' day for encouraging awareness globally of the need to protect our environment. Its purpose is to raise the profile of the responsibility of governments, businesses, and individual citizens alike to each play their part in transforming the world in which we live.
To keep global warming beneath the target of less than 2C above the pre-industrial average, businesses must play a leading role so our societies and economies can transition to a model that is sustainable and beneficial for all.
At Welfare Hire, our commitment to delivering some of the most sustainable, eco-friendly welfare units on the market has been entrenched in our values for years. As a result, we consistently deliver award winning welfare units for hire that are considered by our customers as peerless, contribute towards a healthier planet, and offer businesses significant cost savings as a result.
Here are some of the features you can find on our range of welfare units that help contribute towards a healthier environment:
Efficient Water Usage
Our welfare units are fitted with XL Smart Water Systems which means we can provide up to 4x more hot water for our ceramic water flush toilets and handwashing facilities, but also our toilets are typically only 40% full after a given week compared to the chemical alternatives.
What is often overlooked is the reduced requirement for service call outs and the associated carbon costs of vehicles driving to site to carry out this essential maintenance as a result.
Not only does this drive down carbon emissions and therefore a business' overall carbon footprint, but there are also significant cost savings to be had particularly when extrapolated across multiple sites and for extended periods.
Reductions in Fuel Consumption
With some of the most technologically advanced welfare units on the market, Welfare Hire is responsible for driving down the emissions of its welfare units with its market leading hybrid power systems.
So advanced is the technology deployed in our welfare units that we are known to save up to 90% of the fuel required when compared with traditional, standard onsite units.
Greener Footprint
Our Mobile welfare units are designed to be more easily transported both to and from site and easily moved whilst on site themselves. This is having a major impact on the reduction of harmful emissions and is why Welfare Hire is seen as leading the way in its sector on tackling such problems.
With towable welfare units, which can be set down in less than six seconds, Welfare Hire have done away with the need for HGVs and now operate a smarter, greener fleet of ULEZ pick-ups for transportation and location whilst on site.
Welfare Hire, as part of the Kelling Group, are committed to helping businesses improve their carbon efficiency. To see the full range of eco-friendly mobile welfare units and welfare vans please browse the range or take our virtual tour.

The Crown Council of Ethiopia is a community organization and cultural center with the mission of preserving the culture(s) of the former Ethiopian Empire, as well as promoting development and humanitarian efforts. Today, the Crown Council abandoned its former mission of being a Government-in-exile, redefining its role as a humanitarian and cultural preservation organization representing Ethiopians, Eritreans, and their diaspora. It is headquartered in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area in the United States, where a large concentration of Ethiopian Americans and Eritrean Americans are located.

It originated as a constitutional body within the Ethiopian Empire, which were appointed by and advised the reigning Emperor of Ethiopia (Ge'ez: ንጉሠ ነገሥት, Nəgusä Nägäst); on occasion, its members acted on behalf of the Crown. After the deposition of the monarchy, the Crown Council of Ethiopia acted as the Government-in-exile of the Ethiopian Empire once claiming to be the legitimate government of Ethiopia and Eritrea. On 28 July 2004, the Crown Council abandoned its Government-in-exile status, relinquishing its claim of legitimate governance to the governments of Ethiopia and Eritrea.

The Communist Derg deposed the last Emperor, Haile Selassie I on 12 September 1974, and dissolved the council. Most members of the council were imprisoned and executed, including its president, Prince Asrate Medhin Kassa. The Derg announced that the monarchy had been abolished early in the following year. However, in 1993, a new Crown Council — which included several descendants of the late Haile Selassie I — asserted that the title of Emperor of Ethiopia was still in existence, and the Crown Council would act in its interests. Its justification was that the abolition of the monarchy by the Derg was extra-constitutional and carried out illegally.

The Federal Constitution of 1995 confirmed the status of the country as a republic, but Ethiopian royalists continue to operate the Crown Council. The Ethiopian government has however continued to accord members of the Imperial family their princely titles as a matter of courtesy. On 16 March 2005, Prince Ermias Sahle Selassie was reaffirmed by his second cousin Prince Zera Yacob as the President of the Crown Council of Ethiopia. Prince Zera Yacob is considered to be the Crown Prince of Ethiopia.  On July 28, 2004, the Crown Council redefined its role by redirecting its mission from the political realm to a mission of cultural preservation, development and humanitarian efforts in Ethiopia.
