Box Gallery presents Veil, an installation by painter Amelia Briggs. Briggs examines ideas of perception and the distortion caused by our previous experiences, narratives, and existing ideologies. She states "I am interested in this cycle of perception as a betrayal of logic, acting as a veil, and ultimately obstructing our view." Briggs, who is primarily an oil painter, focuses mainly on the human form as her subject matter. For this installation, she seems to magically transform one of her paintings into the third dimension.
Opening reception 12/6 5-7pm.
Exhibition will run 12/2-12/16.
Dan Torop: Alkali Desert
November 15 - January 17
Opening reception Friday November 15th 6-8pm
"Time is moving like a motherfucker. So what you gonna do?"
- Mark Twain, Roughing It
Tops Gallery is pleased to present Dan Torop's Alkali Desert. These photographs arose from Torop's obsession with Chapter XVIII of Mark Twain's memoir, Roughing It. Twain, recounting a stagecoach journey across western Utah, enlivens an otherwise dull stretch by vividly contrasting his romantic notion of desert travel with the cruel reality of the actual journey.
One hundred and fifty years later, Torop followed Twain's route, which is still traceable and is still quite remote. Sustained exposure to the desert made something go haywire in Torop's mind. Perhaps it was a madness caused by the alkali desert's proximity to Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty, and the memories this provoked of Smithson's mirror displacements. Regardless, Torop drove to Los Angeles, obtained twenty sheets of posterboard, and returned to the desert.
The western Utah desert is a site on which people inscribe. Whether artists, the military, or casino developers, visitors desire to mark this space. Torop marked it with posterboard - sometimes chasing the posterboard by bicycle when it flew away due to high winds. Alkali Desert is a result of this work.
This show consists of color photographs made in western Utah but also some displaced to the Hudson River Valley, near where Twain wrote many novels. These images were made in 2011 and 2012 with a film camera, and are presented as framed 18" x 12" inkjet prints.
Torop is grateful to the Center for Land Use Interpretation for a residency at which much of this work was made. The MacDowell Colony provided him with a residency during which he edited these images and produced a book,Chapter XVIII, which is included in this exhibition. Torop is pleased to show this work at Tops Gallery, which is so near the river on which Twain found his spirit and vividly enacted his stories.
An edition of Torop's Late Summer 2 (2011, 13" x 8½"), is sold as an edition to benefit this collaboration between Tops Gallery and the artist. For details on this exhibition, future projects, or Tops' program, please contact the gallery at info@topsgallery.com.
Dan Torop's Alkali Desert has traveled to the Center for Land Use Interpretation's Exhibit Hall One in Wendover, Utah (where it is currently on display), and was shown earlier this year at The Green Gallery, Milwaukee. Torop's 2010 series of landscapes and portraits, Skydiving, were exhibited at Derek Eller Gallery, New York, and comprised a publication from A-Jump Books. Other collaborative and solo projects include Situation (2012), Virtual Bowery (2008-10), Snowbound (2007),Estimated Landscapes (2005), and Ocean (2000-7). He is currently engaged in a year-long seasonal residency at the Lynden Sculpture Garden in Milwaukee. Torop has contributed to publications including Triple Canopy, Modern Painters, Columbia: A Journal of Literature and Art, and Paper Monument. He has taught at New York University since 2008.

Fantasy Fest - Key West and Shadow Surfing
New vernacular images by Saj Crone
Part of Circuitous Succession Exhibition Series
Friday, November 15, 6-9pm
2493 Broad Avenue
On display November 15-19
Fantasy Fest is an annual week-long celebration in Key West, Florida in it's 32nd year. It culminates in a parade at the end of the week, when Duval Street is filled with people in various costumes and states of undress. It is a street party filled with the fantasies of free spirits.
On October 26th, 2013, my cousin and I drove to Key West from his home in West Palm Beach. We were visiting a friend, and our visit began in the middle of the parade day. We walked up and down Duval Street. I was amazed and kept shooting my camera. That evening we watched the two hour parade, which demanded more photographs.
This exhibit is a result of that day. Jason Miller, curator of the show, insisted that I show these images because they are so different from what I usually shoot- swamps and river floods. I'm glad to be showing this work- with thanks to Jason and his inspired efforts in putting this show together.
The Shadow Surfing images grew out of my love for the ocean, and the play of light in West Palm Beach.

Terri Phillips will be giving an artist talk at AMUM (Art Museum of the University of Memphis) on November 30th at noon Central Time. This is an opportunity to visit Phillip's ArtLab installation and hear her speak about her work! This is sure to be an educational way to spend Thanksgiving holiday weekend. The talk will begin promptly at noon, and so please arrive a little early (The Museum opens daily, Monday - Saturday, at 9am.) Terri Phillips will be at the Museum from 11:30am until 2:00pm.
Taking the title from Shirley Jackson's 1962 novel, this installation of sculpture and sound is based on a combination of Jackson's narrative and Phillips own experience returning home after many years away. Some materials are objects from her childhood home and others are from the local area. The Iron Maiden sculpture is made from a plant called Arkansas Toothpick found in Shelby Farms. The soundtrack is composed from pieces recorded in Memphis in 2012-2013. The work addresses isolation, family relationships, histories and secrets, and the ties that bind.
–Terri Phillips
"I have often thought that with any luck at all I could have been a werewolf, because the two middle fingers on both my hands are the same length, but I have had to be content with what I had." -Shirley Jackson

Memphis College of Art announces resurgence, an exhibition of work by Tara Bullington-Baker in the Alumni Gallery, 1930 Poplar Ave., Overton Park. The exhibition will be on view Nov. 26 through Dec. 19 with a reception on Friday, Dec. 6, 6–8 p.m.
The works in resurgence are intuitive, weaving "compositions of fragmented memories" from materials such as paper and rope. "There's a unique richness in old books and antiquarian objects that can only be created with the passage of time," says Bullington-Baker. "When this history is integrated into a network of unsophisticated materials, held delicately together by wire and thread, it becomes a parallel for the mind and body. My intention is to provide an undercurrent, leaving the viewer to discover his own narrative, by association."
Bullington-Baker, a native of Alabama, received her BFA in Painting and Sculpture from the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa. Following graduation, she moved to Los Angeles to live and work as an artist, later moving to Memphis where she earned her MFA. She currently teaches 2-D and 3-D Design at the University of North Alabama and credits Alvin Sella, Cy Twombly and Louise Bourgeois, as well as her love for fiction and poetry, as influences on her work.

Share All sharing options for: The Secret World's Whispering Tide event starts today
The Secret World, Funcom's massively multiplayer online game, has a new cooperative event that launched today called The Whispering Tide, according to a post on the game's official site.
In the event, players will struggle together against an invasion from the Filth, which is oozing out of Tokyo's Agartha portal.
"The battle will rage until the Filth has been beaten back and access to Tokyo has been won," the post reads. "But any chance of victory is still far off and only by pulling together the players will be able [sic.] to stem this tide of darkness."
The post promises "a long string of events that will run until access to Tokyo has been achieved," foreshadowing a lengthy event that will reward participants with items like treasures, clothing, outfits, gear and more.

Vodafone launches world's largest future jobs programme
Media release - Vodafone has launched a ground-breaking international future jobs programme in 18 countries including New Zealand, to provide career guidance and access to training in the digital economy.
The "What Will You Be?" programme is the largest of its kind in the world, and aims to provide digital skills and jobs for up to 10 million young people.
The initiative comes as Vodafone reveals the results of a major international survey of 6,000 young adults aged 18-24 who believe they are ill-equipped to participate in the digital economy despite being the first generation to be "born digital".
44% of young Kiwis surveyed worry they lack the skills to get a job they will enjoy, and 48% think the hardest challenge for their generation is finding a well-paid permanent job.
31% think most jobs will be replaced by machines in the next 50 years.
A massive 70% say they haven't had adequate careers advice, with much of the guidance focussed on traditional jobs, rather than the opportunities evolving in the digital world.
Vodafone New Zealand Human Resources Director Antony Welton said as a leading technology company, it was clear more had to be done.
"Over the last year, Vodafone has worked with specialist psychologists, careers advisers and training providers to develop a smartphone-based service. The Future Jobs Finder
(www.vodafone.co.nz/futurejobsfinder) offers young people a simple but comprehensive gateway to new skills and opportunities for employment in the digital economy.
"It consists of quick psychometric tests to identify aptitudes and interests, then maps these to the most appropriate job category in the digital economy. There's also access to online digital skills training providers, with many of these courses available for free," Antony said.
Future Jobs Finder users also receive a summary of skills and interests that can be used on their C.V. or in a job application, and a link to the jobs available now, in the field they've chosen.
"We hope this fills in the missing pieces in the puzzle for young Kiwis. Having tried it myself I can say that it really quickly picks up on the things you are interested in, and would be good at," Antony added.
Vodafone's Graduate Youth Specialist Madeline Wallwork said as a recent graduate, the initiative has the ability to change lives.
"It can be quite overwhelming as a young person leaving school, needing to decide on your future career. We are told that there are so many new digital jobs out there – But how do I get there? Do I have the strengths to start a digital career? This tool tackles that tension – taking the mystery out and showing you digital careers that you'd be good at and could consider.
"In the future every workplace will be digital, accelerating massive demand for a wide range of technology skills. This will help young Kiwis get ahead of the curve," Madeline said.
Vodafone commissioned YouGov to ask 6,000 18-24 year olds in 15 countries for their views on their future career aspirations and concerns. The international findings from the Vodafone-YouGovThe State of iGen7 research include:
more than two-thirds (67%) of young people interviewed said they had received insufficient or no careers advice at any point in their education or since leaving school or university;
of those who had received careers advice during their time in education, just 15% said the careers advice they had received included more future-focused, digital jobs, 38% felt the advice they had received was focused purely on traditional non-digital roles and 22% said the careers advice they received was 'out-of-date';
more than half (56%) believe the greatest struggle for their generation is to find any kind of well-paid, permanent job, a proportion rising to 64% among young women; and
more than one-fifth (23%) appear to have lost all confidence and worry they do not have the skills to take on any role, no matter how basic.
The full The State of iGen research - including a country-by-country breakdown and additional statistics can be found at: https://yougov.co.uk/find-solutions/omnibus/international/vodafone-study-igen/.
The International Labour Organisation (ILO) estimates that more than 200 million young people are either unemployed or have a job but live in poverty. Previous studies have found that a prolonged period of unemployment shortly after a young person leaves education to enter the workforce can have a lifelong negative effect on individual confidence, self-esteem and wellbeing.

Father Godfrey O'Donnell:
brought the Romanian
Orthodox Church to Ireland
Father Godfrey O'Donnell, Patrick Comerford and Ruth O'Donnell at the IOCS summer school in Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, in 2014 (Photograph courtesy IOCS, Cambridge)
It is with great sadness that I learned earlier this month that Father Godfrey O'Donnell had died at his home in Swords, Co Dublin two weeks ago [14 February 2020].
Father Godfrey was instrumental in establishing the first parish of the Romanian Orthodox Church in Ireland, and later he was the first representative of the Orthodox churches in Ireland to serve as President of the Irish Council of Churches (ICC), and co-chair of the Irish Inter-Church Meeting (2012-2014).
I was honoured to have been a guest as his friend at his ordination to the priesthood in the Orthodox Church in 2004, and while I was living in Dublin we continued to meet regularly.
We were often at the same Church gatherings, whether they were Orthodox, Church of Ireland or ecumenical events, and he was a frequent visitor to the Church of Ireland Theological Institute when I was on the staff. When he preached one year during the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, I presided at the Eucharist and he was the first Orthodox priest to preach in the chapel of CITI.
We were both students too at various times at the summer courses in Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, organised by the Institute for Orthodox Christian Studies (IOCS).
Father Godfrey O'Donnell was born in Derry, and he was brought up by his widowed mother next door to the Church of Ireland rectory in Queen Street, Derry.
He served as a Jesuit priest for 28 years before leaving the Society of Jesus in 1985. Later, he married Ruth and they then joined the Romanian Orthodox Church. When Father Godfrey joined the Romanian Orthodox church in 1999, he was asked by the Romanian Orthodox Metropolitan Iosif, based in Paris, to help secure a Romanian Orthodox priest for the Romanian community in Ireland.
Father Godfrey was instrumental in establishing the Romanian Orthodox parish in Dublin in 2000, and regular services began in 2001 in the Jesuit chapel in Belvedere College.
He was ordained priest in the Romanian Orthodox Church by Metropolitan Iosif in a six-hour liturgy in the same chapel in 2004. I was his guest at this ordination, which was also attended by representatives of other Orthodox churches, the Church of Ireland, the Roman Catholic Church, the Lutheran Church, the Presbyterian Church and diplomats at the Romanian embassy.
His work in establishing the Romanian Orthodox Church in Ireland and his service to the Romanian Orthodox community were recognised in 2013, when he was honoured with the accolade of 'Stavrophore,' the highest award given to married priests in the Romanian Orthodox Church. It gave him the right to wear a cross as a special honour and as a symbol of his service.
He was active in ecumenical and interfaith dialogue, serving for a time as Chair of the Dublin Council of Churches. He represented the Romanian Orthodox Church on the ICC for many years, becoming Vice-President in 2010 and President in 2012. During that time, he was instrumental in strengthening the links between the Orthodox churches and the other churches in Ireland.
In their tribute to Father Godfrey, the co-chairs of the Irish Inter-Church Meeting, the Revd Brian Anderson, President of the Irish Council of Church, and and Irish Inter-Church Meeting, and Bishop Brendan Leahy of Limerick, said: 'He is remembered with great fondness by all who worked with him in the ecumenical community because of his generosity, gentleness, welcoming nature and dedication to Church unity.'
Father Godfrey, who continued to serve the Romanian Orthodox Church, died at his home in Swords, Co Dublin, on 14 February 2020, aged 80.
With the spirits of the righteous made perfect,
give rest to the souls of thy servants, O Saviour,
preserving them in that blessed life which is with thee,
who lovest mankind.
In the place of thy rest, O Lord,
where all thy saints repose,
give rest also to the souls of thy servants,
for thou alone lovest mankind.

Praying through Lent with
USPG (3): 28 February 2020
The 'Gates of Hell' … the entrance to Birkenau (Photograph: Patrick Comerford)
Today [28 February 2020] is third day of Lent.
During Lent this year, I am using the USPG Prayer Diary, Pray with the World Church, for my morning prayers and reflections, and – because this year marks the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz and the end of the Holocaust – illustrating my reflections with images reflecting this theme.
USPG (United Society Partners in the Gospel) is the Anglican mission agency that partners churches and communities worldwide in God's mission to enliven faith, strengthen relationships, unlock potential, and champion justice. It was founded in 1701.
This week (23-29 February), the USPG Prayer Diary is focussing on Saint John the Evangelist Church in Casablanca, which has become a spiritual home for displaced people. On Sunday [23 March 2020], the diary published a reflection by the Rev'd Canon Dr Medhat Sabry, Chaplain of Saint John the Evangelist Anglican Church, Casablanca.
Friday 28 February 2020:
Let us pray for refugees and asylum seekers in our home towns, that our churches follow the example set by St John's in reaching out in service to them.
Readings: Isaiah 58: 1-9a; Psalm 51: 1-5, 17-18; Matthew 9: 14-15.
The Lenten Collect:
you hate nothing that you have made
and forgive the sins of all those who are penitent:
Create and make in us new and contrite hearts
that we, worthily lamenting our sins
and acknowledging our wretchedness,
may receive from you, the God of all mercy,
perfect remission and forgiveness;

6 generics as good as ~ or better than ~ name brands
How important is the label? Could knowing when to buy generic save American consumers more than $1 billion a year? That's the estimate of a recent study by economists at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and a colleague at Tilburg University in the Netherlands. The researchers found, for instance, that health care professionals are more likely than other consumers to buy cheaper private-label headache remedies. The study suggests that if everyone knew as much as doctors and pharmacists do about things such as active ingredients, headache sufferers would spend $410 million less on brand-name medication.
That leads to the question: What else are consumers buying brand-name when generic will do just as well? Cheapism looked into supermarket merchandise ranging from food to batteries to find out when it's best to go generic to save money.
In a recent Consumer Reports test of sunscreens, store-brand products from Wal-Mart and Target earned the highest scores overall. The organization also rated a Walgreen-brand sunscreen among the most effective at shielding against UVA and UVB rays. On the flip side, some of the most expensive sunscreens turned out to be the least effective. It's more important that a sunscreen be labeled "broad spectrum" and "water resistant" than any particular brand name.
2. Batteries
Duracell, Energizer, or no-name AA -- it doesn't make much difference, according to a test commissioned by DealNews. Five out of six batteries performed almost the same, despite large variations in price. (The exception was a far more expensive battery with a higher initial voltage.)
3. Infant formula
It may sound a little risky to pick a generic baby formula, but this is a highly regulated product that must meet nutritional requirements set by the Food and Drug Administration. The bigger differences lie in texture, flavor and (of course) price.
4.Bottled water
A name-brand bottle of water may purport to come from an exclusive spring on a Pacific island, but it takes a truly discerning palate to tell the difference between that and a store-brand bottle. Of course, the cheapest and most environmentally responsible way to get bottled water is to fill it up yourself.
5. Pantry staples
In addition to headache remedies, the Chicago Booth paper examined kitchen essentials such as salt, sugar and baking soda. Here, too, people who had worked in the industry were more likely to snatch up cheaper private-label products. The fact that chefs elect to cook with generic ingredients suggests there's no noticeable difference in quality.
6.Packaged foods: Go case by case
As The Associated Press reported earlier this year, store-brand food items often come from the same sources as brand-name goods. Determining exactly which ones are just sprinkled with different seasoning and outfitted with different packaging is next to impossible without access to closely guarded trade secrets. But the simpler the product, one executive told the AP, the more likely it is to be a nearly identical item. A somewhat dated Consumer Reports test recommended store-brand soup, orange juice and hot dogs over name brands and concluded that the quality of generic ketchup, peanut butter and potato chips was the same.

Njundu Drammeh of the Child Protection Alliance when contacted, welcomed the pronouncement of President Jammeh on banning early marriage. He however added that further measures need to be taken to protect children from abuse and violence.
"We at CPA welcome the President's pronouncement against child marriage in The Gambia and …. that a law be enacted as soon as possible to give legal effect to the pronouncement. Child marriage has devastating and long lasting consequences on the health, education and general well being of children, and the State has an obligation to protect its children."
But Mr Drammeh added: "Certainly, legislation is not the only measure to protect children from abuse and violence. We need to put in place educational, social and administrative measures and programmes to ensure greater protection and enjoyment of all other rights. We need to also enhance the life skills of our children, especially the females, so that they are able to navigate the challenges of growing up and be able to protect themselves. We would need a vigorous implementation and enforcement of the Children's Act 2005 and severely punish anyone who sexually abuses a child."
As Muslim religious leaders and elders converged at the state house in Banjul on Wednesday, 6 July, 2016, in their traditional meeting with the executive after every Eid ul Fitr (Koriteh) prayers, President Yahya Jammeh made a pronouncement that early child marriage will be banned in The Gambia.
He told the religious elders that a bill will be taken to the National Assembly for legislation before July 22 this year banning any marriage in which the bride is below the age of 18 years.
President Jammeh said the offence will attract 10 years of prison without the option of a fine for the bridegroom or husband and 21 years for the parents. He also said both imam and emissaries involved in the marriage will be liable for committing an offence and will face similar penalties as well.
The ban will also include forced marriages, irrespective of age.
He said the district chiefs, alkalolu and regional governors should be vigilant in enforcing this law when it comes into being.
However, this banning of early marriage is just a pronouncement from the president and is not yet made law to be enforceable in all parts of the country.

As vaccine distribution and administration ramp up and businesses reopen, ADP Research Institute revealed another positive sign of economic recovery: Private companies in the U.S. have added the most jobs to their payrolls since September, Bloomberg reports.

After February job increases totaled 176,000, new jobs increased by 517,000 in March, a press release from payroll and human resource management company ADP Inc. stated. The ADP National Employment Report for the private sector is distributed monthly in collaboration with Moody's Analytics.
According to the report, medium-sized businesses showed the most growth, adding 188,000 jobs last month. Small businesses added 174,000, with businesses of fewer than 19 employees adding 100,000 of those jobs.
Finally, businesses with 500 to 999 employees added 49,000 workers, while private companies of 1000+ added 105,000.

Industries Showing the Most Growth This Spring
Not surprisingly as restaurants and hospitality venues begin to reopen, the leisure and hospitality industry saw the highest gains, bringing on 169,000 new employees in March. Trade, transportation and utility companies saw growth of 92,000 workers, while professional business services hired 83,000 new workers, according to the report.
The leisure and hospitality industry has the "most opportunity to improve as the economy continues to gradually reopen and the vaccine is made more widely available," ADP's chief economist Nela Richardson said in the press release.

ADP Data and Jobless Claims Reports
The ADP data is supported by other indicators of economic recovery, including the Department of Labor Bureau of Statistics' weekly jobless claims report. The week ending March 20 showed a decrease of 97,000 new claims. Jobless claims for that week totaled 684,000, the lowest it's been since March 14, 2020. The week before the U.S. largely shut down for the pandemic, jobless claims stood at just 282,000.
Bloomberg states that Friday's job report could show a gain of 650,000 people on payroll, while some economists say that number could rise as high as 1 million or more.

There's a great article on Planet Green that breaks down travel options and their impact. They conclude that you choose transportation in the following order (first has the least impact, last has the most): bus, train, car, plane. Another piece on a site called Michael Blue Jay and one on Green Blizzard agreed. And lastly, an article on New Scientist agrees for the most part, except when seats are empty on public transit.
Here are some rough calculations between Venice Beach and Inner Richmond in San Francisco. You will notice that it doesn't quite match up with the articles above, but these are all estimations.
Traveling by train takes a whopping 11 hours (!!!), not to mention travel to and from station (downtown Los Angeles and Oakland), and costs about $60-100 round trip on Amtrak. It's about 860 miles round trip, and according to CarbonFund that's 353 lbs of CO2. Plus, 4 lbs round trip for the MUNI in San Francisco and 7 lbs for car rides in Los Angeles, comes out to be 364 lbs of CO2.
Traveling by plane takes me about 3 hours door to door one way, with just a 45 minute to an hour flight, but it costs about $150 round trip. It's about 675 miles round trip, and according to TerraPass that takes about 332 lbs. of CO2. Plus 18 lbs round trip for MUNI and BART in San Francisco and 15 lbs round trip car rides to LAX, comes out to be 365 lbs of CO2.
Traveling by bus takes about 8 hours, plus an hour from door to door, but it's under $100 round trip. It's about 780 miles round trip, and according to CarbonFootprint.com that takes about 375 lbs. of CO2. Plus, 4 lbs round trip for the MUNI in San Francisco and 8-38 lbs for car rides to the bus station (according to CarbonFund). So the bus takes approximately 400 lbs of CO2.
See below for bus companies.
Traveling by car takes me about 5.5 hours door to door, and it costs about $120 round trip depending on gas (my car gets about 28 miles per gallon on the highway). It's about 780 miles round trip, and according to TerraPass that takes about 520 lbs. of CO2.
Despite my calculations, it seems like traveling by bus is the best way for my boyfriend and I to see each other. Luckily, it isn't much of a hassle because unlike driving we can work on the bus, and it's less expensive than flying.

Q: GLM on continuous variable not showing 100% A/E I am fitting a gamma GLM on insurance claims predicting severity. Using log( claim count) as offset and ultimate claim amount as target variable and a gamma error structure. Model converges but Actual / Predicted claim amount does not converge to 100% in the modeling data.
Per my understanding, when a GLM converges the within sample model prediction is always 100%. Am I missing something here?
I also tried using an intercept only model expecting 100% A/ E on overall level but still unable get it.
Is it some additional arguments I need to provide, or is gamma not a good fit.
I then went to lognormal fit but with not much success

A:
Per my understanding, when a GLM converges the within sample model prediction is always 100%.

This is not correct. For instance, you may have multiple observations with the exact same predictor values, but different target values. Since the model has only identical predictors to work with, its fit can't hit both (different) target values.
Also, if your model does have an extremely high in-sample fit, it is almost certainly overfitting. In-sample accuracy is a notoriously poor indicator to out-of-sample performance.

Improving tolerance in Dutch society means starting with young people – help us to rethink Civic Education ("Maatschappijleer") at high schools.
The mandatory high school course Civic Education ("maatschappijleer") has a lot of potential for educating the Dutch youth about ethnic, religious and socio-economic diversity and principles of solidarity. As such, civic education could address the societal problems that the Netherlands is facing today. We will discuss issues that could be addressed in the course, concerning national identity, citizenship, the core values of a culture, religion, but also about welfare and justice. Both Dutchies and internationals are most welcome: what can we learn from other countries' version of Civic Education? Join us at FabCity for a critical brainstorm session!
Since the Civic Education course takes place in the formative years of high school students, it has the potential to positively or negatively influence their lives. In our brainstorm about civic education, we will discuss core issues of such a course. Together with you we'll try to find out what questions and topics should be discussed in the course and in what way. At the end of the workshop the hosts will make a report of the brainstorm and the concrete ideas that have come up in our discussions; ultimately, this report will be offered to the Dutch Ministry of Education.

PILOTS WIN SATURDAY SHOOTOUT AGAINST ICERAYS
by IceRays
TOPEKA, Kan. – For a second-consecutive night to start the 2019-20 NAHL season, the Corpus Christi IceRays and Topeka Pilots battled into overtime tied 3-3, but this time it was the Pilots (1-0-1-0, 3 pts.) picking up the extra point with a 4-3 win over the IceRays (1-0-0-1, 3 pts.) via shootout.
Shane Bull, Evan Carroll and Ryan Coughlin scored for the IceRays in regulation.
Bull's goal was scored at the 8:50 mark of the first period, making him the first player in the NAHL to reach four goals this season.
Luke Suter (7:46) and Connor Zilisch (13:10) recorded goals in the second period to give the Pilots a 2-1 lead before Carroll tied the game for Corpus Christi with 1:20 remaining in the frame.
Topeka regained the lead 1:44 into the third period off Jordan Gonzalez's second tally of the weekend. But once again, the IceRays had a response, as less than two minutes later Coughlin notched the team's first power-play marker of the season off a feed from Erik Bargholtz.
Neither team could find the back of the net during overtime, thus sending the game to a shootout.
Topeka's Alexander Oberg shot first in the shootout and was the only of six combined players to score.
Next up for the IceRays is the annual trip to the NAHL Showcase, playing four games in four days at the Schwan Super Rink in Blaine, Minn. The first game takes place Wednesday night at 8:00 PM CT against the St. Cloud Blizzard.
IceRays season ticket memberships are on sale now while single game tickets will go on sale later this month. For tickets or more information, call 361-814-PUCK (7825).

Q: Express the inradius of a right triangle Imagine the right-angled $\triangle ABC$ with an right angle at $C$ and side-lengths $|AB|= c$, $|BC|=a$, $|CA|=b$. Let $r$ be the radius of the inscribed circle. Then it follows that...

*

*(a) $r = \frac12(a + b − c)$

*(b) $r = \frac12(c − a − b)$

*(c) $r = \frac12(3a + 2b − 2c)$

*(d) $r = \frac12(2c − a − b)$

Why is alternative (a) correct? I can yet not fathom the reasoning behind it.

June 11, 2007 Good edition
This edition edited by Gingold gives the best fingerings for articulation and comfort out of all the editions I own of this fantastic advanced student Concerto. It's the best edition I own. Also, Gil Shaham has made a nice CD for Deutsche Grammophone of this piece recently. Nice recording...
Austin H.
August 18, 2006 A short, energetic, and simple concerto
This concerto is very suitable for a student who has played such pieces like Accolay and Kreisler. The concerto itself is very simply composed, and some people consider Kabalevsky to be a copycat to his contemporaries and Romantic composers (such as Prokofiev, Tchaikovsky, Borodin, Mendelssohn). Elements of these composers frequently...
appear on the song, but it's still a fun piece to play. During the third movement, I just want to mention that Kabalevsky copies Mendelssohn in a section (the soloist plays appegios while the orchestra plays the theme). This piece can at times be a challenge, since it's really fast and there are a lot of accidentals. The entire concerto lasts about 15-20 minutes, so I'd play it in a recital or informal concert. THis concerto deserves to be played more often, since it's not that well known in the violin repetoire.

Seychelles Public Holidays Amendments Official
Source: State House Office of the President of the Seychelles (Victoria)
Posted: Monday, March 6, 2017
At an extraordinary cabinet meeting earlier today, chaired by Seychelles President, Danny Faure, Cabinet approved an amendment to the Public Holidays Act to make Easter Monday a non-working public holiday in the Seychelles, and remove June 5 as an annual non-working public holiday in the Seychelles.
In his New Year's televised message to the Nation (2017-01-01), Seychelles President, Danny Faure, had announced that he would propose an amendment to the law that governs public holidays in the Seychelles, swapping the June 5 annual public holiday of the Seychelles for Easter Monday ("I've decided to propose an amendment to the law that governs public holidays. Firstly, the Monday following Easter Sunday will be a public holiday, a day where we continue to celebrate that which is greater than all of us: our Creator. Secondly, the 5th of June will be a normal working day, reinforcing the unity of our people") and this was applied de facto (2017-01-21 and 2017-01-11) although not yet approved by Cabinet until today.

From now on in Alaska, March will be known as Sobriety Awareness Month.
Senate Bill 208 officially became law on Wednesday. The bill focuses on celebrating sober lifestyles and encouraging people to stay clean.
"Establishing March as Sobriety Awareness Month may seem like a small gesture, but for many, it recognizes their achievement for a better lifestyle for themselves which will help foster a culture that is conscious of this State's multi-faceted substance abuse challenge and how those challenges can ultimately be overcome," said State Sen. Berta Gardner, a sponsor of the bill.
They also want to break down any stigma that might surround sobriety — both for those who are in addiction recovery and those who don't choose to use drugs or alcohol at all. Read more here.

Jared 'Success Story' Kushner: History Will Show 'Who Did Their Job Appropriately' With COVID

Jared Kushner, White House senior adviser and son-in-law to President Donald Trump, on Tuesday swiped at state governors' handling of COVID-19 while defending the administration's feeble response to the virus.
Kushner's latest comments come amid revelations that Trump knowingly downplayed the pandemic, which has killed nearly 200,000 Americans, in early 2020.
When Today Show host Savannah Guthrie brought up Kushner's astonishing victory lap in April, in which he declared Trump's handling of the pandemic to be a "great success story" (at that point the COVID-19 death toll among Americans had surpassed that of the Vietnam War), the White House official claimed Tuesday that the administration "rose to the challenge" and "worked with the governors."
Then Kushner made the following pronouncement: "Some governors performed better than others, and obviously history will look back and see who did their job appropriately."
Asked about revelations that Trump knowingly downplayed the pandemic in early 2020, Kushner claimed that the President had been "very forthcoming with the American people about what he knew and when he knew it," despite Trump privately telling journalist Bob Woodward in March that he "wanted to always play [COVID-19] down" while secretly acknowledging that the virus was "deadly."
Additionally, Trump himself admitted last week to artificially minimizing the pandemic, supposedly to prevent "panic."
"This was an unprecedented pandemic and as different facts evolved, the President informed the public," Kushner said on Tuesday.
The White House adviser then praised the Trump administration's "very remarkable" response to the virus, including issues that had caused people to become, in Kushner's words, "hysterical."
"All the different challenges that people were hysterical about, whether it was governors or the media, we worked with them very closely," Kushner said.

FANS of the Fab ice lolly are in for a treat because you can now get a raspberry doughnut flavoured version.
The frozen snack is even made with a raspberry jam centre that actually oozes when you bite into it.
The new Fab is still made in three segments but instead of the normal strawberry and vanilla base, it's made with a doughnut and raspberry flavoured base instead.
Of course, the top third of the ice pop is topped with the traditional chocolate and sprinkles.
Plus, the lollies only contain 88 calories which is 164 calories less than a jam doughnut which means you can enjoy the taste without the calories.
The lolly has been launched to celebrate 50 years since the Fab lolly first went on sale.
They cost £2.20 for a box of six which is the same prices as a box of normal Nestle Fabs.
You can already buy them from Asda, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Waitrose, Iceland and Ocado – but you'll need to be quick because they're limited edition which means they won't be around for as long as the originals.
If you're not fussed about the new flavour and it's a cheap Fab that you're after, Asda stocks it's own brand version – Strawberry Sprinkle Lollies – for £1.
But before you ditch the big brands, it's worth reading our review of supermarket ice creams versus Cornetto and Magnums to find out if they really are as good (someone had to do it…).
Last summer, one bar in Glasgow served up Fab lolly cocktails for £4 – although we've put together a guide to making your own at home.
Fancy trying something new? Three new Kinder Bueno ice creams have finally launched in the UK and they look incredible.


Before he joined San Francisco-based Latterell Venture Partners almost four years ago, Ken Widder says the VC venture firm was trying to recruit a partner willing to work full time in Latterell's Embarcadero Center headquarters.
Widder has been ensconced in San Diego since 1981, shortly after finishing his medical residency in pathology at the Duke University Medical Center. With Drew Senyei, his roommate and medical school lab partner at Northwestern University, Widder started Molecular Biosystems in San Diego, took the company public in 1983 (more on that later), and served as MBI's chairman and CEO for nearly 18 years. The company was initially focused on developing antisense-based drugs, converted the technology to diagnostic probes and sold it to Abbott Labs, and eventually developed the first two ultrasound contrast agents to be approved in the U.S.
The last company he founded, San Diego-based Sytera, merged in 2009 with Sirion Therapeutics of Tampa, FL. Switzerland's Alcon Laboratories acquired the combined company's assets earlier this year for an estimated $130 million.
Altogether, the San Diego resident founded seven life science companies, holds 30 patents or patent applications, and has authored or co-authored 25 scientific papers. Along the way, Widder was involved from the outset in the formation of Biocom (San Diego's regional nonprofit industry group), and was appointed by San Diego Mayor Susan Golding as chairman of both the San Diego Regional Technology Alliance and San Diego Technology Council.

«City on the Edge of Forever», («Ciudad al borde de para siempre» en Hispanoamérica, «La ciudad al borde de la eternidad» en España), es el 20 episodio de South Park correspondiente al séptimo capítulo de la segunda temporada. Fue estrenado el 10 de junio de 1998.

Sinopsis
Los niños están sobre el autobús, que circula por una montaña. Cuando el autobús casi se cae por un barranco, la Sra. Crabtree va a buscar ayuda, diciendo a los niños que no abandonen el autobús, porque si no un monstruo grande y terrorífico los comerá. Los niños permanecen allí y recuerdan sus experiencias pasadas.

Las escenas mostradas son de los episodios Cartman Gets an Anal Probe, Weight Gain 4000, Volcano, Death, así como momentos del mismo episodio. Sin embargo, cada una de estas memorias es diferente de lo que en realidad había pasado. Por ejemplo, se muestra dos veces a Stan besando a Wendy en vez de vomitando de pánico cuando ella se dirige a él; Kenny mata a la Muerte en vez de al contrario; la pierna de Scuzzlebutt es jugada por Brent Musburger y Sr. Garrison pega un tiro a Kathie Lee Gifford porque ella es una especie de alienígena. Además, en el final de todos los recuerdos, la gente acaba comiendo helado o algo sucede relacionado con él. Después de los finales de cada recuerdo, el que los contaba termina con: "¡Ahora esto es a lo que llamó una situación difícil!", y todos se ríen al oírlo. Algunas memorias no son de South Park; otra era la parodia de la serie de Fonzie llamada Dias Felices con el capítulo llamado "Fonzarelli Intrépido". Más tarde, cuando un niño en un uniforme rojo Starfleet trata de dejar el autobús, un monstruo gigantesco negro realmente salta. Después del comer él, el monstruo pone el sitio al autobús, llevándose a Kenny (quien por lo visto muere).

Sra. Crabtree, sobre su viaje, encuentra a un imitador Elvis Marcus llamado (o Mitch; esto sigue cambiándose). Tratando de conseguir la ayuda, un agente la encuentra gracioso y ella se hace un cómico. Ella aún aparece sobre el show de Jay Leno. Por ahora, ella ha olvidado del rescatar los niños varados. Sin embargo, ella entonces se marcha, pero los dos permanecen cercanos. Detrás en South Park, Sr. Mackey convence a los padres que sus niños se han escapado, y ellos continúan la TV que trata de conseguir a sus niños para volver.

En el retroceso final, Cartman recuerda la aventura para identificar a su padre, pero él lo recuerda incorrectamente con su padre que ser John Elway (esto da vuelta hacia fuera para ser parcialmente verdadero, como su padre ERA un Mustango de Denver). Cuando corregido por Kyle ("pensé que su padre era su madre ' la causa ella tenía un pene"), Cartman se enfadada, y se mueve a la parte trasera del autobús para atacar a Kyle. Esto hace que el autobús se acerque la roca, rompiéndolo en la mitad y haciendo que Craig caiga en la zanja. Entonces el autobús se cae en la zanja, que aterriza en una tina gigantesca del helado. Cartman de repente realiza como poco sentido todo hace y se despierta en su propia cama. Su madre entra con el desayuno, y Cartman le explica su sueño. Ella entonces le ofrece algunos escarabajos para el desayuno, y ellos comen. En este mismo momento, Stan se despierta en su cama, y llama Kyle para hablar del sueño extraño que él tenía.

title: Event
---

The event domain object `\Eluceo\iCal\Domain\Entity\Event` represents a scheduled amount of time on a calendar.
For example, it can be an one-hour lunch meeting from 12:00 to 13:00 on 24th of december.

## Create new instance

When creating a new instance with the default construct method `new Event()`, the optional parameter `$uniqueIdentifier` can be set.
If it is not set, then a random, but unique identifier is created.

```php
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\Entity\Event;

$event = new Event();
```

To set the properties, a fluent interface can be used:

```php
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\Entity\Event;
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\ValueObject\Date;
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\ValueObject\SingleDay;

$event = (new Event())
    ->setSummary('Lunch Meeting')
    ->setDescription('Lorem Ipsum...')
    ->setOccurrence(new SingleDay(new Date()));
```

## Properties

The following sections explain the properties of the domain object:

-   [Unique Identifier](#unique-identifier)
-   [Touched at](#touched-at)
-   [Summary](#summary)
-   [Description](#description)
-   [Occurrence](#occurrence)
-   [Location](#location)
-   [Organizer](#organizer)
-   [Attachments](#attachments)
-   [Attendee](#attendee)
-   [Categories](#categories)
-   [Status](#status)

### Unique Identifier

See [RFC 5545 section 3.8.4.7](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5545#section-3.8.4.7).

A unique identifier must be a globally unique value.
When the value is generated, you must guarantee that it is unique.
Mostly this can be accomplished by adding the domain name to the identifier.

Given, the event id is stored in `$myEventUid`, than the event can be created using that id with the following code:

```php
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\Entity\Event;
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\ValueObject\UniqueIdentifier;

$myEventUid = 'example.com/event/1234';
$uniqueIdentifier = new UniqueIdentifier($myEventUid);
$event = new Event($uniqueIdentifier);
```

### Touched at

The `$touchedAt` property is a `Timestamp` that indicates when the event was changed.
If the event was just created, the value is equal to the creation time.
Therefore, the default value will be the current time.
The value can be changed using the `touch` method.

```php
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\ValueObject\Timestamp;
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\Entity\Event;

$event = new Event();
$event->touch(new Timestamp());
```

A timestamp object can be also created from an object that implements `\DateTimeInterface` like this:

```php
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\Entity\Event;
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\ValueObject\Timestamp;

$event = new Event();
$dateTime = DateTimeImmutable::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', '2019-12-24');
$timestamp = new Timestamp($dateTime);
$event->touch($timestamp);
```

### Summary

The summary of an event is a short, single line text, that describes the event.

```php
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\Entity\Event;

$event = new Event();
$event->setSummary('Lunch Meeting');
```

### Description

In addition to the summary, the description gives more information about the event.

```php
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\Entity\Event;

$event = new Event();
$event->setDescription('Lorem Ipsum Dolor...');
```

### URL

The URL can be used to link to an arbitrary resource.

```php
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\Entity\Event;
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\ValueObject\Uri;

$event = new Event();
$uri = new Uri("https://example.org/calendarevent");
$event->setUrl($uri);
```

### Occurrence

The occurrence property of an event defines, when the event takes place.
There are currently three different types of occurrences possible:

-   [Single day](#single-day)
-   [Multi day](#multi-day)
-   [Timespan](#timespan)

#### Single day

The event will take place all day on the specified date.

The following example shows how to set the occurrence for an event that takes place on 24th of December 2019:

```php
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\ValueObject\SingleDay;
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\ValueObject\Date;
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\Entity\Event;

$date = new Date(DateTimeImmutable::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', '2019-12-24'));
$occurrence = new SingleDay($date);

$event = new Event();
$event->setOccurrence($occurrence);
```

#### Multi day

A multi day event will take place on more than one consecutive day.
The multi day occurrence defines a span of days.

The constructor `MultiDay($firstDay, $lastDay)` accepts two dates:

-   The `$firstDay` attribute defines the first inclusive day, the event will take place.
-   The `$lastDay` attribute defines the last inclusive day, the event will take place.

The given example

```php
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\ValueObject\MultiDay;
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\ValueObject\Date;
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\Entity\Event;

$firstDay = new Date(DateTimeImmutable::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', '2019-12-24'));
$lastDay = new Date(DateTimeImmutable::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', '2019-12-26'));
$occurrence = new MultiDay($firstDay, $lastDay);

$event = new Event();
$event->setOccurrence($occurrence);
```

will create an event that takes place on the 24th, 25th and 26th of december 2019.

#### Timespan

Unlike the previous types of occurrence, the timespan will consider the actual time, the event takes place.
A timespan defines the start and end time of an event.
These times define the span within the event will take place.

The following code example

```php
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\ValueObject\TimeSpan;
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\ValueObject\DateTime;
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\Entity\Event;

$start = new DateTime(DateTimeImmutable::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s', '2020-01-03 13:00:00'), false);
$end = new DateTime(DateTimeImmutable::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s', '2020-01-03 14:00:00'), false);
$occurrence = new TimeSpan($start, $end);

$event = new Event();
$event->setOccurrence($occurrence);
```

describes an event that takes place between 1pm and 2pm on 3rd of january 2020.

### Location

The location defines where an event takes place.
The value can be a generic name like the name of a meeting room or an address.
As an optional property, the exact [geographic position](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographic_coordinate_system#Latitude_and_longitude) can be added.

```php
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\Entity\Event;
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\ValueObject\Location;
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\ValueObject\GeographicPosition;

$location = new Location('Neuschwansteinstraße 20, 87645 Schwangau');

// optionally you can create a location with a title for X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION attribute
$location = new Location('Neuschwansteinstraße 20, 87645 Schwangau', 'Schloss Neuschwanstein');

// optionally a location with a geographical position can be created
$location = $location->withGeographicPosition(new GeographicPosition(47.557579, 10.749704));

$event = new Event();
$event->setLocation($location);
```

### Organizer

The Organizer defines the person who organises the event.
The property consists of at least an email address.
Optional a display name, or a directory entry (as used in LDAP for example) can be added.
In case the event was sent in behalf of another person, then the `sendBy` attribute will contain the email address.

```php
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\ValueObject\Organizer;
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\ValueObject\Uri;
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\ValueObject\EmailAddress;
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\Entity\Event;

$organizer = new Organizer(
    new EmailAddress('test@example.org'),
    'John Doe',
    new Uri('ldap://example.com:6666/o=ABC%20Industries,c=US???(cn=Jim%20Dolittle)'),
    new EmailAddress('sender@example.com')
);

$event = new Event();
$event->setOrganizer($organizer);
```

### Attachments

A document can be associated with an event.
It can be either be added as a URI or directly embedded as binary content.
It is strongly recommended to use the URI attachment, since binary content is not supported by all calendar applications.

```php
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\Entity\Event;
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\ValueObject\Attachment;
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\ValueObject\BinaryContent;
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\ValueObject\Uri;

$urlAttachment = new Attachment(
    new Uri('https://example.com/test.txt'),
    'text/plain'
);

$binaryContentAttachment = new Attachment(
    new BinaryContent(file_get_contents('test.txt')),
    'text/plain'
);

$event = new Event();
$event->addAttachment($urlAttachment);
$event->addAttachment($binaryContentAttachment);
```

### Attendee

This property defines one or more attendee/s related to the event.
Calendar user type, group or list membership, participation role, participation status, RSVP expectation, delegatee, delegator, sent by, common name, or directory entry reference property parameters can be specified on this property.
Therefore are listed all the possible methods that you can call on the attendee

```php
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\Entity\Event;
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\Enum\ParticipationStatus;
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\Enum\RoleType;
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\Entity\Attendee;
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\ValueObject\BinaryContent;
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\ValueObject\Uri;

$attendee = new Attendee(new EmailAddress('jdoe@example.com'));
$attendee->setCalendarUserType(CalendarUserType::INDIVIDUAL)
    ->addMember(new Member(new EmailAddress('test@example.com')))
    ->setRole(RoleType::CHAIR())
    ->setParticipationStatus(
        ParticipationStatus::NEEDS_ACTION()
    )->setResponseNeededFromAttendee(true)
    ->addDelegatedTo(
        new EmailAddress('jdoe@example.com')
    )->addDelegatedTo(
        new EmailAddress('jqpublic@example.com')
    )->addDelegatedFrom(
        new EmailAddress('jsmith@example.com')
    )->addSentBy(
        new EmailAddress('sray@example.com')
    )
    ->setDisplayName('Test Example')
    ->setDirectoryEntryReference(
        new Uri('ldap://example.com:6666/o=ABC%20Industries,c=US???(cn=Jim%20Dolittle)')
    )->setLanguage('en-US');

$event = (new Event())
    ->addAttendee($attendee);

$event = new Event();
$event->addAttachment($urlAttachment);
$event->addAttachment($binaryContentAttachment);
```

### Categories

This property is used to specify categories or subtypes of the calendar component.
The categories are useful in searching for a calendar component of a particular type and category.

```php
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\Entity\Event;
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\ValueObject\Category;

$event = new Event();
$event
    ->addCategory(new Category('APPOINTMENT'))
    ->addCategory(new Category('EDUCATION'));
```

### Status

This property defines the status of the event, e.g. if it has been confirmed or perhaps cancelled. The possible values
are `tentative`, `confirmed` and `canceled`.

```php
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\Entity\Event;
use Eluceo\iCal\Domain\Enum\EventStatus;

$event = new Event();
$event->setStatus(EventStatus::CANCELLED());
```

Vidova gora trail is one of the most beautiful hiking tours on our island. The hike starts in authentic shepherd's village Gažul from where we walk through thick black pine woods towards the highest peak of all Adriatic islands – St. Vid.
We arrive to the belvedere with amazing view of mid-Dalmatian archipelago. After a short break to take photos and rest, we continue our hike. We head back to our starting point through Trolokve area.
Trolokve is another great location to visit near Vidova gora. At this beautiful natural area with three stone framed water preserves you can often see sheep and horses that roam freely around Vidova gora.

On the 20 March 2020 Boris Johnson asked Pubs and Restaurants to close their doors until further notice due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On the 31 March 2020 Anyfay.com shipped its first order of wines and spirits. With a background in wholesale we had no choice but to adapt and overcome the challenges that both we and the industry we love were facing.
In April 2020 we added Beers and Mixers to the portfolio. Our mission is to provide people with the best choice of wines, spirits and beer with next day delivery, great customer support, competitive pricing and an easy to use platform from which to order.
After the pub closure was announced we started thinking what could we do to protect our staff, our business which took 25 years to build and our customers which as many people now are becoming less and less.
We needed to come up with something and delivering drinks without contact seemed like an amazing choice and it was settled. Drew up our plans, made selections on what we would sell and figured out the logistics. The plan was to follow our mission statement, and for logistics we selected several courier companies such as DHL and FedEx, each offering different levels of support. DHL were quite good on large parcels (above 12 bottle) and FedEx were quite flexible with bookings while both companies offering next day delivery. With this being settled we drew up our policies on deliveries and returns.
Next step was to find a platform with which we could deliver our services, but at the same time ensure it is scalable enough for future development. Many choices came to mind but we settled with WordPress because it offered great support, integration and scalability.
Our next step was branding. This is an enormous decision and one which took a lot of thought. We wanted to choose something that resembled what we stood for. Something easy, simple and relatable, so from the most relatable word anyway came anyfay. We like to think that the "F" stands for flavour and what is a good drinks with out the best flavour. With this Anyfay.com was born.
Businesses are built upon their communities, they are the pillars for every successful enterprise. The support we've received from our community is overwhelming. They have pushed us and guided us, they have critiqued us and helped us become better and for this we are grateful. To those people we offer discounts of orders as well as the occasional surprise in their order ?

Has the number of teenage girls self-harming doubled?
Self-harming by teenage girls has doubled in the last 20 years.
The number of hospital admissions in England for girls under the age of 18 because of self-harm has doubled in that time. We don't know how much of that is down to improved recording or to an actual increase in self-harm.
Not all of that increase reflects a genuine increase in self-harming, because measurement and reporting of the issue is getting better.
The number of admissions for girls under the age of 18 because of self-harm increased from around 7,300 in 1997/98 to 13,500 in 2016/17. That's an 84% increase.
That was a decrease on the previous year when there were over 14,600 admissions.
Over the same time period the number of girls in England under the age of 18 has increased by just 5%.
That's not quite an exact comparison though. We can't say how many individual girls were admitted to hospital because of self-harm as the figures count each admission. So if someone was admitted to hospital more than once because of self-harm then the figures would count them twice.
These figures can only tell us about incidents of self-harm that result in subsequent hospital treatment, it doesn't tell us anything about those cases that don't make it to a hospital.
'Greater awareness' of self-harm could include medical staff being better at interpreting symptoms, as well as patients knowing there is more help and support available for them, and how to access those services.
It adds that improved collection of data on the topic, and the fact that during the period NHS Digital started collecting data on admissions to private hospitals too, could account for some of the increase.
Between 1997/98 and 2016/17 the number hospital admissions for boys under the age of 18 because of self-harm in England has increased by 4% from around 2,200 to around 2,300.
Over the same time the number of boys under 18 in the population in England increased by 5%.
A wide-ranging study of mental health conditions conducted in 2000, 2007 and 2014 found that the proportion of 16 to 74 year olds living in England who reported in an interview that they had self-harmed increased from around 2.4% to 3.8% and then increased to 6.4%.
The study found that "It is likely that this increase in reporting is due (at least in part) to changes in reporting behaviour, that minor self-injury which people had not included as self-harm in previous surveys has started to be labelled as such." It also said that people may have felt more able to say they self-harmed n more recent surveys as the topic becomes less stigmatised. The increase may also be down to a real increase in the behaviour.
The study also found that young women were much more likely to report having self-harmed than young men, but that the variation between men and women reduced as they got older.
The study also found that over a third of people in 2014 reporting that they self-harmed received medical or psychological help afterwards. Women were more likely than men to receive help. The study also found that older people were more likely to receive help.
The figures from NHS Digital also show the number of hospital admissions for self-poisoning. These have increased more quickly than admissions for self-harm, though smaller numbers are involved.
The number of girls under the age of 18 increased more than tenfold between 1997/98 and 2016/17, from around 250 to 2,700.
The number of boys increased nearly fivefold from around 150 to 840 over the same time period.

Despite threats, Paul Bhatti to continue brother's work for peace in Pakistan
Threatened by the Taliban, the former Minister for National Harmony has renewed the message of Christian-Muslim harmony and coexistence. Almost three years after his brother Shahbaz's murder, he said that "his sacrifice» is increasingly "a seed for peace." He calls on the West and world Catholics for political and economic help to "give hope to the future."
Milan (AsiaNews) - "We are determined to continue with greater urgency the work Shahbaz began" so that his "sacrifice" may increasingly be "a seed for peace' in Pakistan and around the world," said Paul Bhatti. Through "our faith" in Jesus, "we want to send a message of harmony and coexistence to everyone, Christians and Muslims, and all the victims of a violent ideology."
Speaking to AsiaNews, the former Federal Minister for National Harmony and current head of the All Pakistan Minorities Alliance (APMA) renewed his pledge to fight against extremism in Pakistan.
Although he is currently in Italy, he denies he left because of death threats. Still, he knows that he has become a target for the Taliban and other fundamentalists.
Indeed, the people who sent him death threats are the same who claimed responsibility for his brother's murder.
"We know we are exposed but we will continue to fight for the victims of violence and injustice," he said.
Minority Affairs Minister Shahbaz Bhatti, a Catholic, was murdered on 2 March 2011, a few months after the Punjab Governor Salman Taseer, a Muslim, was killed on 4 January.
Extremists targeted both men for their criticism of the country's blasphemy laws and for their defence of Asia Bibi, a Christian mother of five sentenced to death on the basis of the "black law" who has been waiting for three years to have her appeal heard.
After his brother's martyrdom, Paul Bhatti left Italy, where he had been living for many years, to return to his homeland to continue Shahbaz's work.
Until the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) was defeated in parliamentary elections in May 2013, he held the position of Special Advisor to the Prime Minister for National Harmony.
In less than two years, and despite many obstacles and limitations, he succeeded in getting the release of Rimsha Masih, a Christian girl with mental problems falsely accused of blasphemy. He also promoted initiatives that focused on interfaith dialogue and reconciliation.
Reached by AsiaNews, Paul Bhatti said he would soon return to Pakistan, despite real threats to his life.
Like Rimsha Masih's lawyers, and those trying to Shahbaz's killers whose trial just started, Paul Bhatti has been threatened and attacked by the Taliban.
Still, "I plan to go back to continue my work with determination, accepting the risks and dangers," he said.
Since the PPP lost power, risks and dangers have increased. Paul Bhatti himself has lost his police escort.
"It's a difficult situation because I do not enjoy special supports or covers, both politically and economically," he explained.
"This is why I call on all Christians and on the West to be close to us. We need help to continue our work for peace and dialogue . . . following the path indicated by my brother Shahbaz."
Today, the government in Islamabad is led by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and has begun ceasefire negotiations with the Taliban, who want to see the introduction of Sharia (Islamic law) across the country and the release of their "fighters", including those who murdered Taseer and Bhatti.
In his first two terms (in the 1990s), the current prime minister did very against the country's gradual "Islamisation". His worldview is in fact "similar" to that of the extremists.
By contrast, Bhatti and the APMA are working to unite Muslims and Christians, counter extremist ideology and promote harmony.
For this reason, Paul Bhatti, like his brother Shahbaz, is seen as an "infidel," a spy for the West. This idea must be fought.
"In spite of everything, we are working to promote a positive view of the country and give hope for the future," he said.
"This hope mirrors my faith and has allowed me to nurture friendly ties with Muslims, as I did over the Christmas holiday."
His final thoughts go to Shahbaz, who still is a beloved figure in many sectors and strata of Pakistani society three years after his death.
"Many today appreciate and follow in his battle for a peaceful country," Paul Bhatti said. "For example, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, the son of slain Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, has repeatedly spoken about Shahbaz as a hero, saying that the next prime minister could be a Christian."
With a population of more than 180 million people (97 per cent Muslim), Pakistan is the sixth most populous country in the world, the second largest Muslim nation after Indonesia.
About 80 per cent of Muslims are Sunni, whilst Shias are 20 per cent. Hindus are 1.85 per cent, followed by Christians (1.6 per cent) and Sikhs (0.04 per cent).
The country's ethnic and religious minorities have been the victims of violence on a regular basis, with Shia Muslims and Christians as the main target, with things getting worse.
Dozens of violent incidents have occurred in recent years, against individuals (Asia Bibi and Rimsha Masih) and entire communities, like in Gojra in 2009 or Joseph Colony in Lahore in March 2013, often perpetrated under the pretext of the country's blasphemy laws.
