Today's podcast for 'Reading Luke in Lent' looks at Luke, Chapter 4: 14-44.
In the previous passage Jesus proclaimed the kingdom in words here it is proclaimed through his actions. As often in Luke there is a parallel between the synagogue in Nazareth and Capernaum. Here they receive Jesus's word and actions and ecognize that his teaching has authority. At the end instead of rejecting him they do not want him to leave. Whatever people's reaction Jesus' mission leads him onwards.
In Capernaum Jesus is shown have power over demons as well as healing those who are ill. Peter's mother-in-law has a high fever which Jesus cures. The next verse may seem odd but the original hearers would have made the connection between 'rose' and resurrection, and anyone who shares in the life of Jesus is called to a life of service.


Today Andrew Buckley and Month9Books are revealing the cover and first chapter for HAIR IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES! Which releases June 7, 2016! Check out the awesome cover and enter to be one of the first readers to receive an eGalley!!
Hair in All the Wrong Places is the result of a misspent childhood watching late night movies about werewolves and other creatures that go bump in the night. The story follows Colin Strauss; an outsider in the small town of Elkwood who, in addition to dealing with the struggles of puberty, also finds himself being turned into a werewolf. As if dealing with homework, bullies, and an unrealistic crush on the hot goth girl wasn't enough! I love this cover because it perfectly captures Colin's character and his discovery that he might indeed be growing hair in all the wrong places.
Worse than that, Colin worries he might have had something to do with the recent attacks on townspeople. He may have eaten a person. It doesn't matter that it's someone he doesn't particularly like. What kind of boy goes around eating people?
Foolishly, all Colin can think about is how Becca Emerson finally kissed him for the first time. Yep. Hormones are afoot. Or at hand. Yikes.
But girls will have to wait. Collin better get himself under control before someone else ends up hurt . . . or worse.
Now here's the scary bit, the bit that concerns you. While werewolves ceased to be a part of the world, they didn't necessarily leave it. On the contrary, humans evolved to repress the werewolf gene out of the fear they would be decapitated, shot with a silver bullet, burned alive, or a terrifying combination of all three. What this means is that every single human being is still carrying the werewolf gene. You, right now, sitting right where you are, has the werewolf gene swimming around somewhere inside of you.
– You find yourself looking at other humans and thinking lunch.
– You start to notice smells you never smelled before.
– You growl at people instead of talking to them.
– Your nails begin to grow at an alarming rate.
– You scratch your head in public using your leg.
– You greet your friends at the bus stop by sniffing their butts.
– You begin to grow hair in all the wrong places.
Much as he had done almost every day for the last year, Colin evaluated his body. He was tall for a thirteen year old, with lanky limbs and broad pointy shoulders that bordered on skeletal. His face looked to be at odds with the rest of his body with its gaunt features and perpetually dark circles beneath the eyes. Pale skin stood in stark opposition to his unruly dark and stringy hair. Trying to sharpen his vision, he squinted before fumbling with his glasses.
His reflection didn't look any better with them on.
After drying off, Colin got dressed and headed downstairs.
"Why are you dressed like that?" snapped his grandmother from her usual place in front of the TV. She hadn't even looked at him yet, not that it mattered. Colin didn't know what was more disturbing: that despite his grandmother being completely blind, she still watched TV religiously and commented on his clothes every day, or that he still felt the need to defend his choice of clothing to her. He was wearing jeans and an oversized hoody.
"It's school today, Grandmother. I'm dressed for school," he murmured.
"I know that!" she spat.
Nothing wrong with her hearing, though.
"Do you need anything?" he asked.
There was no point in arguing.
"And comb your hair before leaving the house. I don't want people thinking I'm raising a hobo!" she said.
As Colin walked past the living room, his grandmother turned around in her chair and stared in his general direction with gray eyes damaged irreparably by cataracts. Blind eyes followed him as he walked to the door as quickly as he was able. It wasn't until he was outside with the door firmly closed behind him that he allowed himself to breathe again.
Colin's grandmother had always terrified him. He couldn't remember a time when she wasn't blind or cruel. Colin's parents lived in Seattle and over the past thirteen years had managed to have as little to do with their only son as humanly possible. They were young when his mother had discovered she was pregnant, and the following nine months had put a severe dent in their career plans. They were both up-and-coming lawyers at large firms, and as soon as they could be rid of Colin, they'd passed him off from one distant relative to another. Beyond that, they had no parental aspirations whatsoever.
Just over a year ago, after a short stint living with an uncle and aunt in Ohio, Colin had been sent to the small town of Elkwood to live with his only living close relative—his grandmother, Beatrice Strauss.
She hadn't welcomed him, there were no hugs, no loving relationship, just a bitter old woman who spent most of her days parked in front of the TV and commenting on what a disappointment Colin was. He'd tried to help her, but she never wanted it. Despite being blind, she was more than able to get around and take care of herself. The only time she left the house was to attend the monthly town hall meetings to which he was never invited.
Colin was twenty feet from the bus stop when the school bus flew by. The mocking grins of students plastered the bus's back window as it disappeared over the hill. Thankfully, the school was centrally located, which meant he'd be only slightly late.
On his way to school, Colin passed Mrs. Flipple, a kind old lady who walked her tiny, yappy dog, Jinx, each morning, rain or shine. As per usual, Jinx went straight for Colin, yapping in that high-pitched bark that only small, irritating dogs can make. Colin nodded politely to the old lady and held on to a secret hatred for that little dog.
The town was always overcast, and it rained almost every day of the year, which suited Colin's depressed personality. He was thankful he didn't live in a warmer climate as he'd have a much harder time being pale and awkward.
He'd survived the seventh grade at Elkwood School with above-average grades and a below-average number of friends. He was still considered a stranger here. His lack of personality, athleticism, and sense of humor didn't help in the slightest. He wasn't handsome enough to be popular or ugly enough to be ignored. He was just weird enough that students could be heard wondering aloud about him as he walked by. Now in the second week of his eighth grade year, Colin had one sort of friend, one unrealistic crush, and was the constant focus of several bullies who were determined to make his life miserable.
He reached Elkwood School just as the second bell rang to indicate the start of classes. On average, each grade at the school contained only twenty to thirty students, and because of a limited number of teachers, some classes taught more than one grade or subject.
As Colin ran up the steps to the main entrance, a dark, looming shape confronted him. He looked up into the face of Principal Hebert.
"You're late again, Mr. Strauss." His voice sounded like rumbling thunder.
"Run along." Mr. Hebert gestured, pushing his hand ahead of him in a forward motion.
Colin made his way into the building and chanced a glance back to see Principal Hebert slowly shaking his head. Hebert was a former marine and rumored war hero who had retired to Elkwood almost ten years ago and although he had absolutely no qualifications had been appointed as the school principal. He was a massive hulk of a man with the sort of physique that suggested he could bend large metal things with his bare hands. Principal Hebert was a firm believer in detention and hard work and often liked to combine the two. Most detentions involved cleaning something. Colin made a mental note that his day was not off to a rip-roaring start.
Colin's day quickly got worse.
He moved down an empty corridor, his sneakers squeaking loudly on the clean laminate flooring before entering the last classroom on the right.
The entire class turned to look at him. Some groaned, others laughed, a few smirked. Mrs. Davenport was the substitute teacher again today for Biology, and she greeted him with a warm smile.
Colin shuffled over to his seat next to Jeremy Rodson, the only person in Elkwood Colin could refer to as a friend. Everyone liked Jeremy even though he had never really joined one particular group. He played on the basketball team, so the jocks liked him. He was smart and maintained decent grades, so he was accepted by the smart kids. He was a good actor, so the creative types liked him. Colin had met him on his first day, and Jeremy had introduced him to the school. With so many commitments, Jeremy wasn't always around, so Colin was still forced to maintain his unhappy, loner lifestyle.
"No Mr. Winter again?" Colin asked quietly.
"Pay attention, boys," said Mrs. Davenport with a smile. She was flipping through a PowerPoint presentation about pheromones.
As the only substitute teacher in the small Elkwood School, Mrs. Davenport was never short of work. She was also the kindest teacher that Colin had ever encountered. Her presence had a calming effect on the students that Mr. Winter could never manage.
Mr. Winter was a jerk. It wasn't just Colin's opinion but more of a collective agreement throughout the entire school, including the teachers. An uptight individual in his late thirties, he had a particular hatred for students, teaching, other teachers, and did I mention, students? A few years ago, Mr. Winter's entire family—wife, parents, grandparents—had been killed in a car accident, and rumor had it that the insurance settlement had been sizeable. The rumor quickly proved true when Mr. Winter started travelling the better part of the school year.
"Colin, you should get yourself some pheromones," said Gareth Dugan from behind a textbook. His cronies laughed in honor of their leader's display of wit.
Gareth was a bully with scraggly hair and a troubled complexion. Having been raised on a farm on the outskirts of Elkwood, Gareth had always struck Colin as being quite large for his age. Gareth didn't like Colin, but then, the feeling was mutual.
The entire room agreed with him by sitting in absolute silence.
"That's enough," said Mrs. Davenport and cheerfully continued to describe other chemical factors that trigger social responses.
Colin dared a glance back to see Gareth glaring at him like a lion eyeing an injured antelope.
Gareth would inevitably seek revenge. Colin didn't need a chemical factor to trigger a social response. All he had to do was open his mouth.
He tried his best to concentrate on his textbook, opened at random, but his thoughts remained fixed on how to save himself a beating Jeremy, who remained happily oblivious and completely free of any such dealings, leaned over enthusiastically.
"Did you take a look at Tori yet? Classic Tori outfit." He grinned and subtly tilted his head backward. Having developed earlier than any other girl in school, Tori was the blond bombshell of Elkwood. Okay, she was more like a small nuclear explosion. To aid the raging hormones of teenage boys, she made a habit of wearing low-cut shirts complimented by extremely short skirts.
Mrs. Davenport turned to the whiteboard, and Colin glanced back three rows on the right to see Tori conveniently perched on the edge of her stool wearing a short powder-blue skirt and knee-high boots.
Colin's eyes followed the curves of her body upward until he realized she was looking directly at him with a wry smile. He blushed instantly, but the awkward moment was suddenly interrupted as a textbook smashed into the side of his head, sending his glasses skittering across the desk and onto the floor.
The class laughed as Colin slipped from his stool and crawled around in front of the desk, searching for his glasses.
The bell rang before any further interrogation could be made, and the class headed for the exit. Colin still couldn't find his glasses.
Ironic. If I was wearing my glasses, I'd have no trouble finding them.
The side of his head was throbbing from where the textbook had struck him. No doubt Gareth or one of his minions to thank for that.
Colin stood and came face-to-face with Becca Emerson, his heartbeat doubling in speed.
"I found your glasses," she said, handing them over.
The rest of the class had cleared out. He put on his glasses, and she came into focus. Around his height with fiery red hair and pale skin, Becca displayed a standoffishness that made most people avoid her. She wasn't developed like Tori, but neither were most cover models. Becca was a little like Jeremy in that she didn't associate with any one group, but where he belonged to everyone, she tended to avoid all people. Her dad was some sort of government worker, which translated to "spy" to most middle schoolers.
Becca always wore dark makeup and dark clothes making her look paler than she actually was. She maintained high grades, avoided large groups, and Colin had loved her since he first saw her. It was, of course, a secret love because there was no way he could ever work up the nerve to do anything about it.
"Uh, yeah. Just another head wound. Probably won't be the last." He attempted a half-hearted grin.
They awkwardly stared at each other as Colin's mind raced for something smart to say.
What do I say? You're gorgeous? Want to share a slushee? Marry me?
"Okay, well have a good day," said Becca, and left.
Not the most suave guy at the best of times, Colin managed to be even less so around Becca. How would he ever be able to ask her out, let alone have an entire conversation with her if he didn't even manage to open his mouth?
"Wonder what Hebert's going to have you do for detention today? My money is on cleaning the gym floor," said Jeremy.
"Well at least you'll have company," said Jeremy unhelpfully.
The bell rang, and Colin's heart skipped a beat.
"You got detention today, Colin?" asked Becca.
"I've got to run anyway. Catch ya later." And with that, Jeremy bounced off.
"Y-yeah, of course," said Colin. This was new territory. Other than the occasional passing pleasantry, Colin had never had a full conversation with Becca. They walked down the south corridor toward the detention room at the back of the school.
Becca turned to him. Her eyes were a deep hazel color, he'd never noticed before. She put a hand on his shoulder, and suddenly his insides were on fire. It was only a moment, but Colin felt as if she was looking through him.
Colin was way beyond his comfort zone and didn't know what to do. Was he supposed to say something? Did she want him to kiss her? Or was he misunderstanding her? When it came to reading girls, he was dyslexic. On the flipside, Becca Emerson was actually touching him! With her actual hand! But then she took her hand away and for a moment looked sad.
Colin entered the room, noting the other attendees. Two students, Micah and Nathaniel Cross, otherwise known as the goth twins. They were pale with black tattoos, long black coats, tight black clothing, and permanent frowns plastered across their faces. Gareth sat with his feet up, smirking at Colin.
Colin's heart sank in his chest, down his legs, and through the floor. He was a dead man.
They grabbed a couple of garbage bags and headed outside. Without saying a word, Gareth just started picking up garbage. Colin, braced for an attack and watched him for a moment before hesitantly bending to the task too. 'It was getting dark, and the rain made the job all the more miserable.
After half an hour, Gareth had vanished around the other side of the building, and Colin began to think that maybe he had been worrying needlessly.
As he rounded a corner toward the back of the school, he saw his mistake. Sam Bale and Kevin Hadfield were sitting on one of the permanent picnic benches. They both looked menacing, as usual. Backtracking quickly, Colin turned and bumped into Gareth who shoved him.
"Where you going, buddy?" He spat that last word.
Colin dropped his garbage bag and backed right into Sam and Kevin, who were standing behind him.
"We don't have to do this," pleaded Colin.
"You don't belong here, Colin," said Gareth.
Gareth faked a punch, and Colin flinched.
"Please, just tell me what to do," begged Colin, fighting to keep the tears at bay. He'd been here before; he knew what was coming.
Gareth punched him hard twice in the stomach and then once in the kidneys. Colin dropped to the ground and curled into a ball. Sam and Kevin began kicking him and then stripped him down to his underwear until finally, they left. Colin lay sobbing on the cold ground, half-naked and in pain.
This had been Colin's life for over a year. Feeling like he'd failed at life in general, Colin had been reduced to living in a state of constant fear and humiliation. He had suffered bullying and his grandmother's hatred.
Colin knew he was a loser, but he hated that everyone else knew it too.
The only positive he could think of was Becca and the strange, brief conversation they had shared. He picked himself up, feeling his bruised ribs, wincing as he walked barefoot across the parking lot away from the school. Hebert would be angry that he didn't return for the end of detention, but he didn't care. He didn't intend to come back. He had to do something or he was going to end up dying here in Elkwood.
Colin decided he had to go to Seattle to see his parents.
1 winner will receive an eGalley of HAIR IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES. International.

Champagnie, Panthers serving notice in ACC
WILL GRAVES
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Justin Champagnie's play left no doubt. Neither did his words.
Minutes after the Pittsburgh sophomore forward scored the last of his 31 points and grabbed the final of his 14 rebounds in a 79-73 victory over Duke inside a largely empty Petersen Events Center on Tuesday night, Champagnie provided little room for interpretation on the significance.
"It means Pitt is back," Champagnie said. "I think that we are going to continue to keep this up, and try our best and work hard and just take everything that that's not given to us."
Meaning, just about everything. Jeff Capel took over a program in the middle of a freefall following Jamie Dixon's departure in 2016 and two tumultuous, unsuccessful seasons under Kevin Stallings.
There's been incremental progress. Capel coaxed 14 wins out of a largely overhauled roster during his first season. The Panthers inched forward to 16-17 last year. Both times, early optimism of a true breakthrough faded. Pitt lost 14 of its final 16 in 2019 and 8 of its last 9 in 2020.
This, however, feels different. The triumph over Duke — the first-ever by a former Blue Devil player over Hall of Fame coach Mike Krzyzewski — provided a glimpse of what Capel is building. The Panthers are 8-2 overall and 4-1 in the Atlantic Coast Conference, with a schedule that looks manageable if they actually get to play it.
That's far from a certainty. Pitt's visit to Boston College on Saturday has been pushed back due to COVID-19 concerns in the Eagles program, the fifth time the Panthers have had a game postponed. Still, they'll have a chance to put together their first four-game ACC winning streak since 2014 when they play at Wake Forest on Saturday instead.
And they'll take the court with a level of confidence seldom seen since Dixon was regularly leading Pitt to the second weekend of the NCAA tournament a decade ago.
"A number of those kids, they were (really young) last year," Krzyzewski said of his former player and longtime assistant's current team. "And one of the best ways of worrying is to go through that and that's how (Capel has) built his program. They're tough through experience. They played a lot of minutes last year and had showed flashes of really playing well. Now they're ready to take another step."
It certainly looks like it.
Pitt held Duke to 39% shooting and fought the bigger, deeper Blue Devils to a draw on the glass. The versatile and tenacious Champagnie — who returned two weeks ahead of schedule from a left knee injury sustained just before Christmas — and junior guard/forward Au'Diese Toney attacked relentlessly. Point guard Xavier Johnson, whose decision-making has been uneven at times this season, dished out 11 assists.
Three times in the final 5:38 Duke trimmed a 15-point deficit to two. Each time, the Panthers responded before pouring onto the court in celebration, their joy echoing through a typically raucous arena limited to just 500 people.
"We had to fight for 40 minutes," Capel said. "We were able to sustain a lead throughout the game, even when they made runs that we knew they were going to make."
Now comes perhaps the hardest part of the process: dealing with success. There were times last season when it seemed as if the Panthers had gotten over the hump only to stumble. At one point Capel pointed out the group he'd assembled hadn't done much of anything. A few more performances like the one they put together against one of the nation's premier programs — even one that's struggling by its impeccable standards — and that will no longer be the case. Capel stressed the importance of upgrading the talent at hand when he took the job. He's on his way. Forward Abdoul Coulibaly has made major strides in his second season. Transfers Ithiel Horton and Nike Sibande provide shooting and backcourt depth.
Champagnie, Toney and Johnson take care of a lion's share of the rest. Johnson — whose roller-coaster three seasons at Pitt perhaps best embodies the program's rocky rise back to relevance — made two of the headiest decisions of the night in the final 1:40. He hit a driving lay-up and fed Toney for a dunk on consecutive possessions that all but ended Duke's hopes.
"One of the great things about Xavier is he is such a great competitive spirit, but at times it can be a bad thing for him," Capel said. "It's finding the right balance there are times when he's so excited and so geared up where he can get himself in a little bit of trouble. However, he's matured as a player ... I trust him to make the right decision ... and he was able to make us some big plays."

Housing Delivery Test Checker tool now available
I have created a new tool which shows the 2018 Housing Delivery Test (HDT) results for each local authority area in England.
Image: Housing Delivery Test Checker
Try the Housing Delivery Test Checker now - only available at neighbourhood-planning.co.uk
The HDT checker is easy to use (and free), simply choose a local authority area from the drop-down menu to display the HDT results for the area.
In addition to details of the HDT's housing requirement and delivery of new homes, the HDT Checker explains the sanctions which each local authority faces as a result of its HDT measurement result.
Why the Housing Delivery Test matters for Neighbourhood Plans
The purpose of the HDT is to hold local authorities to account over the supply of new housing. Where delivery of new housing is poor, sanctions are imposed on the local planning authority - the most severe of which are that the policies in Local Plans and Neighbourhood Plans can be rendered out-of-date.

Why the Middlewich Neighbourhood Plan failed
News that the Middlewich Neighbourhood Plan was rejected at referendum has spread rapidly across social media and has even been picked up by local and national press - see BBC article.
The story has garnered a lot of attention as it is highly unusual for a Neighbourhood Plan to be rejected. The Middlewich Neighbourhood Plan is only the third Neighbourhood Plan not to be supported by residents.
At the referendum held on 14 March 2019, the Neighbourhood Plan was rejected, albeit by a very slim margin of just 22 votes.
'No' Campaign Prior to the referendum, Labour town councillors led a campaign which encouraged local people to vote against the Neighbourhood Plan.
Based on the literature shared by the campaign group, opposition to the Middlewich Neighbourhood Plan appears to be pointed at three key issues: Impacts on the town and its infrastructure of the overall scale of growth Middlewich is expected deliverDisagreement with the individual sites identified by the Neighbourhood …
Latest stats show continued increase in house-building
Chart: All Things Neighbourhood Planning
Data source: Live tables on housebuilding: new build dwellings (Table 209), MHCLG
The Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government has today published its latest data on house building in the United Kingdom. The graph shows the number of dwellings completed by financial year in England. Data is also available for the other home nations. However, Neighbourhood Planning is a feature of the English planning system only.
In 2017/18, there were more than 160,500 new homes constructed. - the highest rate of development since the financial crisis of 2007-08. As illustrated in the graph, the data shows a steady increase in number of homes built each year since the low-point of 2012-13, where less than 108,000 homes were built.
The rate of development in 2017/18 is comparable to the period 2004 - 2006. Assuming this trend of increasing development rates continues into the current financial year, the number of homes constructed in 2018/19 could po…

Just how big is an infill site? Appeal decision: Chinnor, Oxfordshire
An appeal decision initially caught my eye due to its surprising interpretation of 'infill development' - but also raises some concerning issues around how Neighbourhood Plan policies are applied during the decision-making process.
The appeal relates to an application for the construction of up to 140 dwellings, new public open space, associated landscaping and site infrastructure on a 3.9ha site at Chinnor, Oxfordshire. The application was made by Persimmon Homes and initially refused by South Oxfordshire District Council. The appeal was allowed, meaning the Planning Inspector went against the district council's decision grant planning permission for the scheme. Details of the appeal can be found using the following reference APP/Q3115/W/17/3187058. Neighbourhood Plan & Development Plan Chinnor is a large village in Oxfordshire. The Chinnor Neighbourhood Plan (CNP) was 'made' in October 2017. When the appeal commenced, the Neighbourhood Plan was less than one…
Putting Health & Wellbeing at the Heart of Neighbourhood Planning
The planning system's origins can be traced back to public health policies from the nineteenth century. Increases in population and the growth of towns created public health problems, and early legislation focused on creating sanitary conditions.
There is a sense that in recent decades planning has lost its way with health, yet our modern environments continue to have profound effects on our health and well-being. In the blog post What stops us from creating healthier places? author Rachel Toms notes that overall, the planning system has done a good job of designing infectious diseases out of the places in which people live, but has "inadvertently contributed to sedentary lifestyles, mental distress and social isolation".
Whilst the planning system has cured the public health problems of the industrial revolution, it faces a new set of public health challenges for the modern era.
In this post, I make the case for prioritising health and wellbeing through Neighbourhood P…
Appeal granted in countryside despite Five Year Land Supply - Shinfield Neighbourhood Plan
Through a recent appeal decision, a Planning Inspector has granted outline planning permission for up to 55 dwellings and 'Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace' (SANG) at land at Parklands, east of Basingstoke Road, Spencers Wood, Wokingham.
The decision was issued on 28th February 2019, under appeal reference APP/X0360/W/18/3204133.
The appeal site is located between two villages, Three Mile Cross and Spencers Wood. The scheme proposes two areas of development adjoining each of the villages, separated by an area of open space - a 'SANG'.
Shinfield Neighbourhood Plan The Shinfield Neighbourhood Plan (SNP) was made in February 2017. Policy 1 of the SNP addresses the location of development:
In Shinfield Parish, development within the Development Limits..., will be supported; development adjacent to the Development Limits will only be supported where the benefits of the development outweigh its adverse impacts.
'Development limits' are a very common planning …

Neighbourhood Planning and Community Health and Wellbeing - Briefing Note for NALC
I have teamed up with the National Association of Local Councils (NALC) to author a briefing note on Neighbourhood Planning and Community Health and Wellbeing.
The briefing note illustrates how Neighbourhood Plans can actively contribute to improving health and wellbeing in their communities, and draws on recent examples of neighbourhood plan policies. Neighbourhood Plans can tackle issues of health and wellbeing in lots of different ways, as explained in the briefing note, and is something I will be making the case for in future blog posts.
A pdf version of the briefing note is available to view and download below. Further advice on neighbourhood planning is also available from NALC's website.
Essential reading for Neighbourhood Planners

Secretary of State overturns Planning Inspector's decision due to density concerns
Normally, planning appeals are determined by Planning Inspectors, but in some circumstances appeals may be 'recovered' for determination by the Secretary of State (SoS). The current SoS for Housing, Communities and Local Government is James Brokenshire MP.
In December 2018, the SoS issued a decision on a recovered appeal at Woburn Sands, Buckinghamshire. The proposal for residential development of up to 203 dwellings, a doctor's surgery, open space and landscaping, together with pedestrian, cycle and vehicular access, was initially refused by Milton Keynes Council, and following appeal, granted permission by a Planning Inspector. However, the SoS recovered the appeal and overturned the Inspector's decision, dismissing the appeal.
Details of the case are available on the Planning Inspectorate's website, using case reference: APP/Y0435/W/17/3169314.

Slone coaches Illini women's golf under same principles as mentor
By Benjy Sabitt
Tweet: @IlliniWGolf head coach Renee Slone won't forget the lessons she learned from the woman who she took over for, Paula Smith.
Renee Slone's eyes light up when she talks about the woman who had her job before her.
Hall of Fame coach Paula Smith was Illinois' women's golf head coach for 28 years and Slone took over in 2006 following Smith's retirement. Slone played for Smith at Illinois from 1990-1993.
"We maintain a strong relationship now, I'm in contact with her all the time," Slone said. "I'll still go to her for advice and to get another perspective."
Slone tries to instill in her players the same values and ideas that Smith taught her. Smith's loyalty made a lasting mark on Slone.
"Paula is an extremely loyal person. People say she bleeds orange and blue and that's true," Slone said. "She cares deeply about this institution and its athletic department."
Slone added that Smith taught her "the meaning of being true to something, and when you make a commitment you follow through on that no matter what."
When Slone was a player for Smith she was able to accomplish quite a bit. She was the Illinois Dike Eddleman Female Athlete of the Year in 1991 and 1992, a three-time All-Big 10 selection (1991,1992,1993), and still holds the school record for averages strokes per round (75.35). But Slone isn't interested in talking about her personal accolades.
"I want every one of my records to be broken, absolutely" Slone said. "I want to be able to help our team members achieve whatever they can and rewrite the record books."
She said her experiences as a player have helped her as a coach.
"Some things never change, such as loyalty you have for a school, and the love you have for it," Slone said. "It's a similar experience."
Slone has seen many things change since her time as a player at Illinois, and more has changed since she became head coach 10 years ago. She's seen some major facility upgrades, but said the biggest change is the recruitment process for coaches and the decision process for players.
"The process of recruitment and college decision-making is starting earlier and earlier," Slone said. "There are a lot more opportunities to get exposure."
Through her time at Illinois as a player and a coach, Slone has seen opportunities for female athletes expand.
"When I was in high school I played on the men's team," Slone said. "We didn't have enough girls for a team. Growing up I played in a lot of the Illinois Junior Golf Association events where I would be the only girl in a field of about 80-100 guys.
"The number of opportunities that are available now for females, it's exciting to see. Not just the quantity of girls playing is changing but also the quality."
It's been 10 years since Slone agreed to become the head coach, and said her relationship with Smith played a major role in her decision-making.
"Coach Smith came to me 2-3 years before she retired and told me about her plans, trying to plant a seed for me." Slone said. "I saw this as an opportunity to have an impact on young people's lives and helping them improve as people, not just athletes"
Slone talks a lot about the opportunities for her players, and doesn't want them to lose sight of how lucky they are to be in the position they're in. This is another lesson she took from Coach Smith.
Slone has her players write gratitude journals once a week on many different topics. Last week they wrote about a support staff member that they are grateful for.
"I want the players to realize how fortunate we are to have this opportunity, and not take that for granted." Slone said.
"I want to be able to able to look back 20 or 30 years from now and be able to say, I was a part of that"

Agatha - Ersties
The handsome Agathe is 22 years old and has a curly mane. Originally from France, she lives in Berlin and doesn't want to leave. The people are open and tolerant.
On camera, Agathe comes across as very suggestive as she pleasurably sprawls across the couch, wearing a short floral dress and playing with her hair the whole while... It may surprise some, but Agathe studied chemistry and physics – and she's a real math whiz! This mademoiselle has already called many countries home: Spain, England, and even the United States. Still, Berlin is where she feels most at home, because there's nowhere else where the people are more open, less uptight. At least, that's Agathe's personal opinion.
So far, she has gone through an array of different sex partners. She's been able to widen her network in particular via online dating sites. But also at school or at work, she's met lots of interesting people she's grown fond of. When she's not busy working or studying, she likes to take walks in the forest or to meditate. She also eats a lot, she admits. You'd never guess that, though – she maintains quite a fine figure.
Agathe is extraordinarily attractive in a sexual sense. At least, that's what she often hears from others, she tells us. Perhaps it has something to do with her constantly twirling her hair? She doesn't have any other explanation. Actually, though, she wants to have a steady relationship at some point. But for the moment, she's happily learning about herself and her own body. And the men of the world are happy to help her with that...
What exactly has Agathe gotten to know about her body, considering she's had so many sexual experiences? That's exactly what we asked her, and she's about to show us up close and personal!

The beauty of man is in this fidelity to the wonder of each day."

I just saved you the trouble of reading 90 percent of the responses to the ID position... This is how losers act just before they lose: arrogant, self-satisfied, too important to be bothered with substantive refutation, and disdainful of their own faults...

Author: Jürgen Moltmann
29. "The ideas of justice of Europe and Africa are not the same and those of the one world are unbearable to the other. To the African there is but one way of counter-balancing the catastrophes of existence, it shall be done by replacement; he does not look for the motive of an action. Whether you lie in wait for your enemy and cut his throat in the dark; or you fell a tree, and a thoughtless stranger passes by and is killed; so far as punishment goes, to the Native mind, it is the same thing. A loss has been brought upon the community and must be made up for, somewhere, by somebody. The Native will not give time or thought to the weighing of guilt or desert; either he fears that this may lead him too far, or he reasons that such things are no concerns of his. But he will devote himself, in endless speculations, to the method by which crime or disaster shall be weighed up in sheep and goats - time does not count to him; he leads you solemnly into a sacred maze of sophistry."
Author: Karen Blixen
30. "All children can do things to help, whether how big or small - by donating toys or lending a hand in the community."
Author: Kimora Lee Simmons

Author: Lloyd Bentsen
32. "I would not say I am looking for God. Or, I am not looking for God precisely. I am not seeking the God I learned about as a Catholic child, as an 18-year-old novice in a religious community, as an agnostic graduate student, as - but who cares about my disguises? Or God's."
Author: Mary Rose O'Reilley
33. "So what does the winner get in the end?" Tate asked."They get to sit around with the losers and say, 'I am King Xavier of the world.' Repeat after me.""And me?" Tate asked."You get to be my queen.""How come you're the leader of the community?" Narnie asked, almost smiling. "Why can't Tate be?"Webb looked at his sister, grinning. "Why can't you, Narnie?"Fitz leaned his head on Narnie's shoulder. "And I'll be your queen?""You can be the eunuch," Jude said, shoving him out of the way, "and I'll be her prince." He bowed and took Narnie's hand, kissing it, and their eyes met. It was awkward for a moment until Narnie looked away."
Author: Melina Marchetta
34. "The problem, Mitch, is that we don't believe we are as much alike as we are. Whites and blacks, Catholics and Protestants, men and women. If we saw each other as more alike, we might be very eager to join in one big human family in this world, and to care about that family the way we care about our own.But believe me, when you are dying, you see it is true. We all have the same beginning - birth - and we all have the same end - death. So how different can we be?Invest in the human family. Invest in people. Build a little community of those you love and who love you.Morrie Schwartz"
Author: Mitch Albom
35. "A second line is in effect a civil rights demonstration. Literally, demonstrating the civil right of the community to assemble in the street for peaceful purposes. Or, more simply, demonstrating the civil right of the community to exist."

"As often I have been a science fiction writer writing science fiction for the community of science fiction readers, I am also, for good or ill, an American writing American literature to an American audience. Most fundamentally, though, I am a human being writing human literature to a human audience."
38. "The Ripe FigNow that You live here in my chest,anywhere we sit is a mountaintop.And those other images,which have enchanted peoplelike porcelain dolls from China,which have made men and women weepfor centuries, even those have changed now.What used to be pain is a lovely benchwhere we can rest under the roses.A left hand has become a right.A dark wall, a window.A cushion in a shoe heel,the leader of the community!Now silence. What we sayis poison to someand nourishing to others.What we say is a ripe fig,but not every bird that flieseats figs."
Author: Rumi

Author: Sonia Sotomayor
43. "I won't say that writing tamed the Black Beast. It soothed him, though, enough so he agreed simply to occupy a corner of my mind...Gradually, I redirected my focus and skills towards causes much closer to my own heart: writing and mental health advocacy. [...]I felt so good at times that I even wondered, was I still bipolar? In my community work, I saw so many people who were much worse off than I was - deep in their disease in a way I no longer seemed to be. I knew that this often happens to manic-depressives: the brain forgets the ravages of the illness they way a woman forgets the pains of childbirth. You have to, to survive. But it's always a dangerous place to be, because you inevitably start to question the need for medication, therapy, and all the other rigorous stopgaps of sanity so carefully put into place to prevent another episode."
Author: Terri Cheney
44. "Any man who tries to excite class hatred, sectional hate, hate of creeds, any kind of hatred in our community, though he may affect to do it in the interest of the class he is addressing, is in the long run with absolute certainly that class's own worst enemy."
Author: Theodore Roosevelt
45. "However, many skilled medical volunteers are turned away because community health centers cannot afford to cover their additional medical liability insurance."
Author: Tim Murphy
46. "When the first force, social feeling and community expectation, is ignored or affronted, the person concerned will reveal certain aggressive character traits: vanity, ambition, envy, jealousy, playing God, or greed; or nonaggressive traits: withdrawal, anxiety, timidity, or absence of social graces. When any of these forces gains the upper hand, it is usually because of deep-seated feelings of inadequacy. Yet the forces also create an intensity or tension that can give tremendous energy."
Author: Tom Butler Bowdon
47. "Every community has its own specialty and it's not just for clothing obviously, but for the home, etc."
Author: Tracy Reese
48. "If the foreman had no experience in bossing a mob, they had no experience in being one. Members of a community, not elements of a collectivity, they were not moved by mass feeling; there were as many emotions there as there were people. And they did not expect commands to be arbitrary, so they had no practice in disobeying them. Their inexperience saved the passenger's life."
Author: Ursula K. Le Guin
49. "The freedom of affluence opposes and contradicts the freedom of community life."
Author: Wendell Berry
50. "One of our people in the Native community said the difference between white people and Indians is that Indian people know they are oppressed but don't feel powerless. White people don't feel oppressed, but feel powerless. Deconstruct that disempowerment. Part of the mythology that they've been teaching you is that you have no power. Power is not brute force and money; power is in your spirit. Power is in your soul. It is what your ancestors, your old people gave you. Power is in the earth; it is in your relationship to the earth."

The problem is not that Christians get angry and upset about issues of morality. The problem is that we expend all our energies getting angry and upset about the wrong ones. One group of us pickets film chains that choose not to screen a movie that backs our worldview; while another group protests at cinemas screening a film that doesn't. We exhaust millions of years of online conversation on discussing the rights and wrongs of other people's sexual behaviours.
As a result, these issues and our obsession with them become the thing that we are known for. Not our passion for following and proclaiming Jesus; not the thrilling, inviting Kingdom of love and justice that we're meant to be a part of. Largely, modern Christians are famous for being homophobic, sexually repressed, and perhaps most chillingly of all, pro-Trump. How did these become the internationally-recognised emblems of our faith?
TwitterA picture of Pope Francis holding a child who has Down's Syndrome's hand is going viral online.
Rant over. Because last weekend, Christians were reported for getting upset about something of truly profound importance. At the dear old Church of England Synod – on the face of it the last place that you might expect earth-shattering profundity – the issue of pre-natal testing for Down's Syndrome was passionately discussed. Perhaps that doesn't even sound like the most important debate to have taken place at Synod, but I can assure you that it was. Because this discussion gets to the very heart of what it means to be human, and indeed to follow Jesus in fighting for those who cannot fight for themselves.
The trigger for the discussion was the proposed national roll-out of a new non-invasive blood test which screens for the likelihood of Down's during pregnancy. At present, women are offered a test with a small but significant risk of miscarriage; enough to prevent many from taking it. An estimated 90% of those that do take the test and receive a positive result, choose to terminate the pregnancy – often allegedly under significant pressure from medical staff. The new test will carry a negligible risk to the pregnancy, and is therefore likely to increase the number of Down's Syndrome diagnoses – and abortions – in the UK.
Other nations such as Iceland already have a near-100 per cent abortion rate for Down's foetuses, due to a mix of improved testing and cultural pressure. Those who spoke at last weekend's Synod meeting fear that a similar statistic might soon apply in the UK. The actress Sally Phillips, whose son has Down's Syndrome, told a group of Synod members that a pregnant friend of hers had been 'rung nine times during her pregnancy to be offered and offered and offered a termination in case she changed her mind.' Down's is seen in medical terms as a sickness to be eradicated.
Except that the only way to kill Down's Syndrome is to kill the person who has it. Now, let's be clear: this isn't about the rights and wrongs of abortion per se, although many Christians rightly feel extremely passionate about that, related issue. This is about a decision that is being made within our culture that suggests a Down's Syndrome life isn't worth living. That in some way, a child born with Down's is less than human. We should of course not underestimate the enormous impact on any parent's life of raising a child with additional needs, but have we somehow conflated serious inconvenience with total unviability? A person with Down's can build relationships and fall in love, get and hold down a job; in some cases live into their 70s. How exactly is that person less than human – an aberration to be screened out?
At the very start of the Bible we read that God made humanity in his own image. That is to say that we – every single one of us – somehow bear the image of our creator. There's no sub-clause in there about people born with an extra chromosome. Elsewhere, we're variously implored that as children of that God, our job is to speak up for and defend the defenceless. It doesn't take an expert theologian to figure out where Christians should be on this debate. Which is why it was great to not only see Synod talking about the test, but to see the media reporting it. For once, our voice is being amplified on an issue of profound importance.
BBCSally Phillips addressed a synod fringe event on Friday, urging members to vote for the motion, which they did unanimously.
Because let's revisit those numbers again. They are nothing short of horrific. Only one in ten babies survive the Down's screening test. They're presented as bad news, and most of them are culled at that point; a pregnancy gone wrong. The few who go on to be born are a tiny minority, heavily stigmatised and in many cases subjected to horrible abuse. Just imagine if 100% of those babies were allowed to survive. The world would look like a very different place, enlightened by a much higher frequency of people with Down's Syndrome. They'd be a normal feature of everyday life, not an abnormality. Most of us would probably work with, or live in the same street as, or be friends with a person with Down's Syndrome. And wouldn't that be a closer reflection of the Kingdom of God?
The Synod discussion is a good start, but this needs to be something that every Christian is informed, passionate... and dare I say angry about. Some have actually termed what is happening every day in abortion clinics and hospitals around this country a secret, legal genocide, as thousands of lives are never allowed to happen on the basis of their unfavourable genetics. The new measures will only increase the scale of this horrific injustice, and open the door to a whole range of eugenic justifications for termination. He gets invoked an awful lot around issues of justice, but this feels like a Wilberforce moment. Are we really going to stand by and watch as our society redefines morality to allow the near extinction of a whole people group? Yes, it might be relatively easy for me to write all this as a person with four children who don't have Down's Syndrome, but it can't only be left to those who are directly affected to speak up and campaign. No person who claims to follow Jesus has the liberty of ignoring this any longer.
So what can we actually do? Getting properly informed is the first step, but merely being well-read on issues of justice is only a mark of modern slacktivism. There are campaigns to join, most notably Don't Screen Us Out, and petitions to sign. You can write to your MP and ask them – as a minimum – to ensure that test results are presented without bias, rather than as a negative finding or 'abnormality.' Evil prevails in silence, and in a democracy our voices are our greatest weapons against it. It's not enough to feel angry.
There's a photo and a little story doing the internet viral rounds at the moment, about Pope Francis being interrupted mid-preach by a little girl with Down's Syndrome. Apparently as she got up from her seat and approached him during a papal audience, security guards stepped in to take her back to her seat. But before they could, the Pope stopped his address and invited her 'come sit next to me'. The girl sat next to him, and Francis continued his preach, all the while holding hands with the little girl. I can't imagine a more profound or prophetic illustration of God's perspective on Down's Syndrome, or of how ours should and must look too.

Mediation is the process by which parties seek to settle their civil or commercial disputes with the assistance of an independent third party, a mediator.
No-one can force you to attend a mediation. This does mean that both parties must want to mediate or at least be prepared to give it a try. Hopefully your opponent, as well as yourself, has made themselves aware of the many benefits of both mediation and a mediated settlement, and so a situation where someone refuses to mediate should be uncommon - but it's not compulsory.
However: a warning to anyone refusing to engage in mediation. If you are involved in court proceedings and are deemed to have unreasonably refused to mediate, the court is likely to penalise you in costs in some way, whether you have won or lost.
This is helpful in keeping your business private. All parties agree not to talk about what goes on during the mediation to the outside world (unless part of your settlement says otherwise). Confidentiality also plays an important role on the day of mediation itself. If the parties are split in different rooms, as is likely at some point in the day, anything you say to the mediator will not be taken into the other room, unless you specifically instruct the mediator to do so. This principle is at the foundation of the mediation process and why it proves successful on so many occasions.
What happens before the day?
For most disputes, preparation for mediation is pretty simple. It is best to mediate as soon as possible. Once a date and a venue have been agreed, the parties will be asked to supply the mediator with the most important documents (relating to the dispute), and a summary of what they believe the case is about and, if they want, how they think the case should settle. In cases involving companies or partnerships, it is also very important to have the people who have the authority to "make the deal" present on the day.
The mediation process belongs to you. The parties therefore have a large say as to how the day goes. Sometimes the day starts with a joint session. This can be helpful to iron out any misunderstandings or just to let people get things off their chest. Sometimes, tensions are so high that a joint session should not be entertained. Thereafter, the parties may well be housed in separate rooms and the mediator will shuttle between the two, until a solution is reached.
There may well be times during the day that it seems as if we are getting nowhere fast. Don't worry. Your mediator will have seen many such moments in the past and still have reached a settlement for the parties. Keep your mind on the task at hand - your mediator will do everything possible to find a settlement for you.
If and when a settlement is reached, the terms are set down in writing and signed by the parties. The agreement is binding. If court proceedings have already commenced, the agreement will take the form of an order that will then be lodged with the court.
Of course, sometimes settlement is not achieved. That is the right of anyone attending mediation. However, the process is "without prejudice" so nothing said in trying to reach agreement during the day can be used in court. And many disputes that do not settle on the day still get settled shortly after or at least before trial.

Is Japan's Yen Set to Rise?
Can Risk Models Amplify Volatility?
High growth and low inflation are essential to economic development, but there is a "powerful case" for attacking poverty directly, said Rodrigo de Rato in a speech in Peru on September 20. On his final visit to Latin America as IMF Managing Director, he said the biggest contributions can be made in fiscal policy, financial sector reform, and institutional reform.
The IMF's Executive Board approved a disbursement to the Dominican Republic of $118 million as part of its $672 million Stand-By Arrangement, agreed on in 2005. IMF Deputy Managing Director Murilo Portugal said the country's macroeconomic performance had been commendable. "The challenge ahead is to persevere with fiscal consolidation during the upcoming electoral period, which will require firm control of public spending," he said in a press statement.
Despite a significant appreciation of the real and a sustained increase in imports, Brazil's external current account is expected to register another moderate surplus in 2007, reflecting the continued strength of exports, according to data presented to the IMF Executive Board, published on September 18.
A study by IMF economists finds that the yen is undervalued relative to long-term fundamentals. However, barring a sudden change in investor sentiment, nontrade factors are likely to delay the yen's adjustment.
Financial institutions may reinforce instability in the financial system by moving together to adjust risky portfolios, according to a new IMF study, released as part of the Global Financial Stability Report.
The report also looked at capital flows to emerging market countries. A study found that these countries will be better equipped to maximize the benefits of capital inflows while cushioning against the potentially destabilizing effects of flow volatility if they focus on developing market liquidity and diversity and on improving institutional quality.
The IMF's Statistics Department has released "The System of Macroeconomic Accounts Statistics," which describes the four main sets—national accounts, balance of payments and international investment position, monetary and financial statistics, and government financial statistics—and shows the linkages among them..
The 1997–98 Asian financial crisis triggered reforms aimed at Indonesia's deep-rooted institutional problems. Together with sound policies and a more benign external environment, these reforms have helped cut Indonesia's financial and macroeconomic vulnerability.
Executive Directors, reviewing Australia's economic performance at the end of August, commended the Australian authorities for their "exemplary macroeconomic management," which is widely recognized as being at the "forefront of international best practice," according to an IMF Public Information Notice published in September.
In a world of money laundering and electronic transfers, it is easy to see that the need for rapid transmission and exchange of information between law enforcement agencies is critical.

A MAN shot dead in a Liverpool pub on New Year's Day had been linked with a nail bomb attack on another pub last year, the Daily Post can reveal.
A MAN shot dead in a Liverpool pub on New Year's Day had been linked with a nail bomb attack on another pub last year, the Daily Post can reveal.
Danny McDonald, 20, was shot four times at point-blank range as he drank with friends in the Royal Oak pub in West Derby.
He staggered to a nearby doorway but collapsed and died in front of around 60 drinkers.
His best friend, John Cummins, 19, was hit in the back and another bullet missed his head by inches.
An underworld source last night told the Post that the dead man had been suspected of involvement in an incident last September when an explosive package filled with screws and nails was hurled into the Dickie Lewis pub on Walton Road, Kirkdale, Liverpool.
More than 50 people drinking in the pub had a narrow escape after the fuse connected to the top of the bomb fizzled out and it failed to explode.
That attack was itself linked to a car bomb explosion outside the city centre Club 051 a week earlier. On that occasion, a device was planted in a Peugeot 205 and left outside the Mount Pleasant club. The explosion, at about 11pm, sent shrapnel flying across the street in an area normally packed with revellers.
No one was injured in that blast. The New Year's Day shooting raises fears of another escalation of gang warfare in the city. On Friday night, just 24 hours later, four shots were fired at the home of a 54-year-old man in Sovereign Road, Croxteth, less than a mile away from the Royal Oak.
The man was sitting in his living room but was unhurt by the attack.
Police yesterday released the first picture of Danny McDonald since the shooting along with a statement from his grieving family.
It read: "The family of Danny McDonald is absolutely devastated by the shooting of Danny and just wants whoever did this to be caught as soon as possible.
"These shootings have to be stopped. The family wish to left alone to come to terms with their grief.
"The family are also co-operating with the police in their investigation."
Last week's shooting happened at just before 5pm at the pub on Muirhead Avenue East.
Police said the gunman pulled the hood of his jacket over his face before storming into the pub.
* Anyone with any information should contact Crimestoppers on 0800-555111.


Recently, Japanese hardware organization Panasonic propelled a Bluetooth-based tracker, Seekit, created by the organization's India Innovation Center situated in Bengaluru. Seekit will be accessible in two variations, Seekit Edge and Seekit Loop, and the former comes with a price tag of Rs 1,599 and the second one is priced at Rs 1,299. Panasonic announced that the gadgets will be accessible on different driving online business platforms beginning December first week. To discover their possessions utilizing Seekit, the users need to just label their resources and associate with the Seekit cell smartphone application.
It includes a separate indicator, vicinity direction, last seen area, bi-directional tracking, and voice alarms with a high alert mode for following and low cognizant mode to keep away from unnecessary alerts. The device features Bluetooth 5 which allows communication-consuming lesser battery, which helps in elongating the battery up to 18 months without a charge, as claimed by the company. The separation indicator feature alarms the user sooner as the valuable item is disconnected, alerting that the valuable item has been left behind. According to Manish Sharma, President and CEO Panasonic India and South Asia, the company is majorly focusing on both internets of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) based solutions at the India Innovation Centre. The introduction of Seekit is strategically arranged to the objective to design a smart and connected ecosystem.


The Putting Lab at Manchester Golf Club is designed to address every aspect of putting to help golfers achieve the very best from their game. One of the most important factors in putting is the Putting Mind. Brian is a Mind Factor coach trained by Dr Karl Morris and uses these developed skills on a day to day basis with his students.
Golf is a very unique game in that in a typical four hour game of golf, only a very small proportion of this is actually spent taking shots. Between shots your mind can wander, and if you're not having the best of rounds quite quickly your chin can literally go down which can put you in a very negative emotional state for playing golf. This is not ideal!
Golf psychology helps us control our emotions, which in turn can help us control our physical bodies. This can affect all parts of your game, but is particularly important when you are putting since the smallest of changes can cause you to miss.
Have a strict and consistent routine before every putt. When you're faced with a real pressure putt, don't change anything in your routine. Don't take an extra practise swing, don't have another look at the hole – just repeat your consistent routine.
Remember – you are trying to hole every putt, once you have read the putt and picked your line, commit 100% to it.
Think about the things you can control. You can control your routine. You cannot control the condition of the greens.
Remember some good putts that you have holed in the past and this will give you confidence.
You must realize that missing putts is part of golf and always ask yourself, "what can I learn from that putt?
Stay in the present moment. Don't think about the last putt that you missed, or the tee shot you'll be facing after this putt, stay in the present.
When you practice remember that putting is largely down to perception - some days the hole feels like a dustbin lid and you hole everything - but the hole stays the same! Next time you practice try putting to a tee instead of the hole - if you can hit that tiny tee - imagine how big the hole will feel when you get out on the course!
If you get nervous when you are out on the golf course and feel your heart pumping when you have a crucial putt - then you should try to simulate this feeling when you are practice putting. All you need to do is to jog on the spot for 20 seconds - increase your heart rate and then try to putt. If you can hole your putts on the putting green with an increased heart rate you will be able to do the same when you are on the golf course!

The number one job of any spark plug wire is to transfer an electrical charge from your ignition to your spark plugs. The challenge is to get the maximum amount of this charge to the plugs without creating interference (EMI or RFI) for nearby electrical components. On top of that, the wires must often deal with larger amounts of voltage from modern ignitions and aftermarket ignition coils... 22/06/2009 · If I get a bigger or "better" spark plug wire, will my bike run better somehow? I want to get some colored wires, but they all claim improved performance but don't define how that is achieved or what actual performance increases there may be.
The basic function of a spark plug wire is to conduct spark energy from the ignition source, whether it be a distributor or coil pack, to the spark plugs. The more efficient the wire the more spark energy is transferred to the spark plug.... A conventional plug wire has a resistance of 10,000 to 15,000 ohms per foot of length—if it's measurably higher, the wire probably is bad. An absolutely failed wire will have a hairline break somewhere, and the resistance will be infinity.
The spark plug wires will be marked for their location, and the new spark plug wires will be assembled with the spark plugs and ignition distributor cap using those markings. After the ignition distributor rotor is popped into place, the distributor cap will be installed, and the spark plug wires …... 11/08/2012 · You must buy a set of spark plug wires. That will run somewhere between $25 and $150, so let's just repair the one you have. Unless, of course, your spark plug wires are worn or cracked; in that case, replacing the whole set would be ideal.

Lectrosonics Announces Major Firmware Update for the Acclaimed Duet Digital Wireless Monitor IEM/IFB System
By MSMedia 29 November 2018
Rio Rancho, NM (November 29, 2018) — Lectrosonics is pleased to announce a major firmware update for their acclaimed Duet digital wireless monitor IEM/IFB system, V2.0. The 2.0 Firmware update includes a host of new features and improvements that are the result of valuable customer input, including improved audio quality, shortcuts on the front panel to assist in quick setup, a volume lock and additional flexibility in setting the audio gain and limiter functions. With the new update, users can now do a front panel IR sync operation and similarly turn on or off the RF transmission without requiring access to the menus.
Added flexibility to the M2R receiver audio setup now includes an option for negative gain on the limiter screen, allowing adjustment to the maximum gain available, for instances where artists may be using extra sensitive earphones. The limiter screen now also features a meter showing the amount of gain reduction acting on the signal. Additionally, there is now also a "threshold off" setting, which allows users to bypass the limiter altogether for a more dynamic audio response.
The M2R receiver now lets users turn the LEDs on or off, by pressing the "up" or "down" arrow buttons on the pack, for cases where users might want to minimize the visual impact while worn on talent. And, since many users are employing the Duet system as an IFB solution for broadcast facilities, mono earphones may be used with the receiver. Thus, a stereo/mono earphone selection is available in the menu.
"The Duet system has been an incredibly successful product for us in the past year since its introduction," says Karl Winkler, VP of Sales and Service at Lectrosonics. "We've enjoyed learning about the variety of ways that this equipment is being used, from churches to tours to TV studios. All the user input during that time has been invaluable in terms of improving the product and adding these new features."
The Duet system consists of the M2T dual-stereo half-rack transmitter and M2R diversity belt pack receiver. The Duet covers the UHF frequencies of 470-608 MHz in a single range, uses digital modulation for transmission, and can accept analog or Dante digital inputs. The new system is designed and developed with professional touring, installation, theater, filmmaking and broadcast customers in mind.
The Duet firmware V2.0 is available for download from the Lectrosonics web site. Lectrosonics Wireless Designer software is required to perform the update. Once the update had been performed, Wireless Designer must also be updated to V1.3.13 or higher to communicate with the M2T. (Please also note that V2.0 must be installed on both M2T transmitters and M2R receivers, as the new version is not compatible with any 1.X versions.)
Well respected within the film, broadcast, and theatre technical communities since 1971, Lectrosonics wireless microphone systems and audio processing products are used daily in mission-critical applications by audio engineers familiar with the company's dedication to quality, customer service, and innovation. Lectrosonics is a US manufacturer based in Rio Rancho, New Mexico. Visit the company online at www.lectrosonics.com.
