When do old £50 notes expire? It's the question most people with paper notes in their purses are wondering as the new polymer £50 has been in circulation for a while now.
The new £50 note features British WW2 codebreaker and scientist Alan Turing as the iconic figurehead alongside the Queen. It was released earlier this year in June 2021, to commemorate the mathematician's would-be 109th birthday. The note is made of plastic, making it harder to rip and more durable for long-term use. Cutting-edge security features have also been added to prevent fraudulent use.
It's out with the old and in with the new as much like the paper £20 note expiry date, old £50 notes will soon be out of circulation.
The Bank of England have confirmed that old £50 notes expire on Wednesday 30 September 2022.
This will officially be the last day you can use your old £50 notes in shops, pubs and restaurants.
Ten years ago today, we launched our Boulton & Watt paper £50 note. It will be withdrawn, along with the paper £20, after 30 September 2022. Find out how to exchange old banknotes here: https://t.co/174RwO8q4j #Banknotes pic.twitter.com/qMoNxwYUTB
— Bank of England (@bankofengland) November 2, 2021
This expiry date also applies to old £20 notes which were replaced with the new polymer note in 2020.
The Bank of England have to give at least six months notice of when a note will officially expire, to allow the public an adequate amount of time to spend their note before the cut-off date.
Can you still use paper £50 notes?
Yes you can still currently use paper £50 notes.
The paper and polymer £50 notes are both in circulation and are considered legal tender at present. But you have to make sure you spend your paper £50 note now before the expiry date.
The old paper £50 note features English manufacturer Matthew Boulton and Scottish engineer James Watt. The two men joined forces to produce steam engines and first appeared on the note on 2 November 2011.
Where can I change old £50 notes?
Though the old £50 notes officially expire at the end of September, you can exchange your paper one for a new polymer one after this date.
Cashiers at the Bank of England's central branch on Threadneedle Street in London will be happy to replace old £50 notes.
Just be sure to bring along two forms of ID with you (photo ID and proof of address) – which is mandatory when exchanging notes of over £700. You will then be offered a new note or the option to have the amount deposited into your bank account.
Those that are unable to visit the bank in person can also do this exchange by post. Though the Bank of England website states that individuals who do mail their withdrawn note do so at their own risk.
You can also use the £50 paper note at your local Post Office branch after the expiry date.
"The Post Office may also accept withdrawn notes as payment for goods and services, or as a deposit into any bank account you can access with them," states the Bank of England.
What's different about the new polymer note?
The new £50 note is the latest British currency to be printed on polymer. The Bank of England have switched to this material as it "makes them harder to counterfeit than paper notes."

One new security feature of the polymer note includes a hologram image that changes between the words 'Fifty' and 'Pounds'.
There's also a small see-through window in the bottom corner of the note. Visible on both sides, the foil in this window should turn gold and green on the front and silver on the back.
Also printed on the window is a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II which should have '£50 Bank of England' printed around the oval edge.
The polymer material also makes the note harder to rip and waterproof – stopping any print smudges or blurred lines that were common on old £50 paper ones.

Daily bite: Peace by Chocolate names new bar after Mi'kmaq word For peace
Chocolatier from Syria aim to spread message with chocolate bars
by Helen Earley
Follow hfxhelen
There are many ways to share a message of peace, but Nova Scotia-based chocolatier Peace by Chocolate has devised the most delicious, perhaps, through a bar of chocolate, labelled with the word "peace" in different languages.
The first Peace Bar was released on Friday April 27, with a brightly coloured label, reading Wantaqo'ti—the word for peace in Mi'kmaq, the language of people indigenous to Nova Scotia and the Atlantic provinces.
The peace bar has also been released in French, Punjabi and Arabic; and the company has plans to introduce them in 20 more languages this month, including indigenous languages from across Canada.
The chocolatiers behind the Peace Bar are the Hadhads, who arrived from Syria as refugees just over two years ago, to the small university town of Antigonish, located in North Eastern Nova Scotia.
In Damascus, Assam Hadhad ran a successful chocolate business with 30 employees. His factory was destroyed by war, and the family spent three years in a refugee camp before moving to Canada.
Within weeks of arrival, the Hadhad's eldest son, Tareq, a medical student who is fluent in English, set about re-establishing his father's chocolate business, with the support of the local community. Eight months later, Peace by Chocolate was up and running, from a small garden-sized shed that could hardly keep up with demand from local markets.
In September 2016, Justin Trudeau told the Hadhad's story in a speech to the United Nations, bringing notoriety to the family and the business. One year later, the small chocolate-making shed was exchanged for a fully operational chocolate factory, which now employs more than 20 people.
The Peace Bar itself is made with creamy milk chocolate and crunchy hazelnut pieces, and will be available in Sobeys stores in Atlantic Canada and Ontario, and on the company website, for $4.99.
If you're wondering whether you should try one, simply heed the company's slogan and registered trademark: "One peace won't hurt"!

After what seemed like forever, Google finally re-launched a service that they acquired called JotSpot. What is JotSpot you might wonder?
Invite co-workers, classmates, or your entire organization to edit your site with you to keep it fresh and up-to-date. And let as many or few people view your site as you want.
This application is great for making pages for a project your are working on, or a simple company intranet. The fact that sites are stored and easily accessible to people within your organization makes this a very handy tool -- and with the 10GB limit, there is plenty of space for everyone.
Click here to see a video of it in action.
The new service is only available as part of the Google Apps suite -- I wonder if/when it will be released to the general public? It seems like a suitable replacement for the original Google Pages to me.

Home Politics Missouri:AG Warns,Vaccine Mandates Will Worsen Police Shortage
Missouri:AG Warns,Vaccine Mandates Will Worsen Police Shortage
Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, a Republican, warned that vaccine mandates nationwide could lead to a greater police officer shortage even as crime surges.
Schmitt, Missouri's chief law enforcement officer, said he is worried that mandates will only worsen the wave of police officer retirement triggered by the "defund the police" movement last year.
"You've got police officers already exiting by way of early retirement across the country," Schmitt told The Daily Caller News Foundation in an interview. "We need more police officers, not fewer. We need more resources, not more hurdles for law enforcement to be able to do their jobs."
Police unions in New York, California, Oregon, Florida, Illinois, and more have come out in strong opposition to local mandates for public employees to get a COVID-19 vaccine. The Massachusetts union representing state troopers said officers have already resigned over Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker's policy, and an internal San Diego Police Officers Association survey showed that 45% of the city's police force would prefer to be fired rather than obey a departmental or city-wide vaccine mandate.
Police officers from New York, Colorado, and Arizona have filed lawsuits challenging local mandates.
"It cannot be mandated," John Catanzara, president of Chicago's police union, told the Chicago Sun Times in August. "It's that simple."
Dan Hils, a Cincinnati, Ohio, police union president, said a vaccine mandate would hurt the city's department that is already "struggling to retain and attract enough police officers," Fox 19 reported.
The number of police officers per capita declined before any vaccine mandates were implemented in 2020, according to FBI statistics. The number of law enforcement officers per 1,000 U.S. inhabitants declined from 3.5 in 2019 to 3.4 last year as violent crimes, including murder, skyrocketed to record highs.
Several police union leaders previously sounded the alarm on officer shortages. Last year, there were widespread protests and riots nationwide after George Floyd was killed by a Minneapolis police officer.
"We are seeing a large number of officers leaving the force," Fairfax County Police Association President Jeremy Hoffman told The Daily Caller News Foundation in April. "What's just as disturbing as that is we're having trouble recruiting."
Dave Mutchler, a Louisville police union spokesperson, said the city's department was at a "critical manpower shortage."
'This Is All About Politics'
Schmitt took aim at President Joe Biden's recent vaccine mandate that requires private businesses with 100 or more employees to mandate that workers receive a COVID-19 vaccine. He added that Missouri will immediately sue the federal government once the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which Biden tasked with crafting the mandate, publishes the rule.
"People can make these decisions. They have the facts in front of them. They have the option, the vaccine is widely available," the Missouri attorney general told The Daily Caller News Foundation. "The idea that government is going to compel this kind of thing on its face is unconstitutional."
"This is all about politics. It's about power and control. It's about aggregating power," he continued. "They're never going to let this go."
Following Biden's Sept. 9 announcement unveiling the mandate, which will affect more than 80 million Americans, Schmitt wrote a letter alongside 23 other Republican attorneys general threatening to sue. Schmitt has already led multiple lawsuits against the Biden administration, including one challenging the president's immigration policies.
"We need fighters right now. Fighters who are willing to stand up for the Constitution and stand up for the rule of law, who are going to push back against Joe Biden, who are going to push back against these local petty tyrants," Schmitt said. "This is a fight to save America."

WATCH: 'It was a disaster', Ralph Hasenhuttl on Southampton's 9-0 home defeat to Leicester
Reaction from St. Mary's Stadium after Leicester City thrashed 10-man Southampton 9-0 in the Premier League on Friday, equalling the competition record.
Back in 1995, Manchester United beat Ipswich Town by the same score with Peter Schmeichel in goal – on this night his son, Kasper was between the sticks for Leicester.
There were also hat-tricks for Ayoze Perez and Jamie Vardy – only the second time two players have hit three in the same game for the same side in the English top flight.
The Saints had Ryan Bertrand sent off for a high tackle on Perez after just 12 minutes, precipitating the rout.
The result was Southampton's heaviest defeat ever and lifted Leicester above Manchester City into second place in the table, although City have yet to play this weekend.

Celtic party in Kurim (Clan Hannigan and Sliotar)
Published: 02 August 2017 | Email | Hits: 1006
The courtyard of Kurim castle hosts a Celtic party every July. Even though the weather can be tricky, it always attracts a community of people who are ready for a great craic.
We could say the Irish weather was brought along with the music this year. It was raining during the whole performance of Clan Hannigan, a family band from Canada, whom some of you may remember from previous years as they played in Czech Republic eight years ago under the name Cairdeas. Clan Hannigan consists of Steafan Hannigan, originally from Belfast, Saskia Tomkins from England and their teenage children Oisín, Eile and Ayisha. From the first tunes the audience is immediately taken to Emerald Isle and even forget about the rain. When the girls came to sing a song and later show a little bit of Irish dancing, the evening almost couldn't get better.
You may call it the wonder of music but as soon as Sliotar took the stage, the rain stopped. The band has been coming to Czech Republic for many years and they were delighted to be back. They respect the traditions of Irish music but play it their own way at the same time. The result is catchy and hard not to dance to. The crowd was enchanted immediately and began to dance, sing along and danced the night away. A night you wish to continue to the early hours of the next day.
JP Kallio is the singer, master of acoustic guitar and author of most of the songs, Ray MacCormack's voice in the heartfelt songs deeply touches your soul, his whistles and pipes are essential for Sliotar's sound. And last but not least, Des Gorevan's drums complete the sound. Once you see these guys live, you don't wanna miss next chance.


India has signed the Multilateral Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters, which also similarly facilitates exchange of information.
India has revised 40 treaties for avoidance of double taxation so that the information exchanged with partner nations on tax matters can also be utilised for other purposes including criminal proceedings, Parliament was informed on Friday.
"Treaty partner countries have been requested to modify the tax treaties, so as to explicitly include provisions that will enable information exchanged for tax purposes to be utilised for other purposes, including criminal proceedings in non-tax matters," minister of state for finance Santosh Kumar Gangwar said in a written reply to Rajya Sabha.
"40 treaties for avoidance of double taxation have been revised accordingly," he said.
In addition, Gangwar said, India has signed "the Multilateral Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters, which also similarly facilitates exchange of information".
These developments enable use of such information by non-tax agencies, subject to agreement by the Competent Authorities of the Requested Contracting State, he said.
Replying to a separate question, Gangwar said the enforcement directorate has provisionally attached assets of worth Rs 9,298 crore in 2016.
The minister said as per estimate, over 2,000 tonnes of gold is held by household, trusts and various institutions in India.

Jeff Burroughs
Jeffrey Alan (Jeff) Burroughs (born March 7, 1951) is a former player in Major League Baseball. From 1970 through 1985, he played for the Washington Senators (1970–71), Texas Rangers (1972–76), Atlanta Braves (1977–80), Seattle Mariners (1981), Oakland Athletics (1982–84) and Toronto Blue Jays (1985). Burroughs batted and threw right-handed. He is the father of major league third baseman Sean Burroughs. In a 16-season career, Burroughs posted a .261 batting average with 240 home runs and 882 RBIs in 1689 games.
Burroughs was selected by the Washington Senators with the first overall pick in the June 1969 draft. Late in the year, he joined the Senators at age of 19. Considered a "good bat-no field" kind of player, Burroughs was a considerable slugging threat during his playing days. Defensively, he was capable but slow.
In four full seasons with the Texas Rangers, Burroughs averaged 25.5 home runs a year with a high of 30 homers in 1973. His most productive season came in 1974, when he batted .301 with 25 home runs and a league-leading and career-high 118 RBIs and was selected the American League MVP, making him one of only seven overall number-one picks to win the MVP title (the others are Chipper Jones, Alex Rodriguez, Ken Griffey, Jr., Bryce Harper, Joe Mauer and Josh Hamilton) and the first Ranger to win the award. During the 1974 season, Burroughs was at the center of the violent Ten Cent Beer Night debacle in Cleveland, where Burroughs was one of the targets of thrown objects and a few punches by unruly and inebriated Cleveland fans, in a game that was forfeited to Texas.

Q: JS; prevent onClick function from happening until page reloads So I have a wordpress site I'm building that allows a user to fill out a form, and if successfully submitted, it will create a post.
When the user hits submit on the form I have some js that prompts them to send out a tweet with dynamically prepopulated content. The problem is that I want the the tweet to be prepopulated with the content of one of the fields they just filled out and submitted. But, because this happens immediately the tweet ends up prepopulating with the content from the last time the form was filled out.
So, I'm thinking if that onClick function can not fire until the page reloads with the new content added and published, that should work, but I'm not sure how to do that.
Here's the markup for the form submit input:
<input onclick="tweetIt()" class="exclude btn-main stack" name="user-submitted-post" id="user-submitted-post" type="submit" value="<?php _e('Submit', 'usp'); ?>">

Here's how it is displayed once the form has successfully been submitted:

<?php echo substr(the_title('', '', FALSE), 0, 140); ?>
 // the title is populated with one of the fields from the form

and here's the js:
function tweetIt () {
  var phrase = document.getElementById('dream').innerText;
  var tweetUrl = 'https://twitter.com/share?text=' +
    encodeURIComponent(phrase) +
    '.' +
    '&url=' +
    'http://xxx';

  window.open(tweetUrl);
}

Hoping I've been able to articulate in a way that makes sense.
Any help is, as always, greatly appreciated!

A: You can check if the current request is a post and then call tweet.
<?php
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'POST') {
?>
(function(){
  var phrase = "<?php echo substr(the_title('', '', FALSE), 0, 140); ?>";
  var tweetUrl = 'https://twitter.com/share?text=' +
    encodeURIComponent(phrase) +
    '.' +
    '&url=' +
    'http://xxx';
  window.open(tweetUrl);
})()

Caucus Brief: Admiral Mullen To Visit China Next Month
ADMIRAL MULLEN TO VISIT CHINA NEXT MONTH. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen, will visit China from July 9-13. According to Chinese state-run media Xinhua, "China will promote the advancement of relations between the two military forces under the framework of China-U.S. ties." The announcement of Mullen's visit comes after the U.S. and the Philippines launched 11 days of joint naval exercises June 28 amid a simmering maritime row over territorial claims in the South China Sea. http://www.defensenews.com/story.php?i=6951685&c=ASI&s=TOP
CHINESE COUNTERFEIT MICROCHIPS IN U.S. MILITARY. According to Wired Magazine, in 2010 the U.S. military bought over 59,000 microchips for everything from missile defense to communications that turned out to be counterfeits from China.
From the piece: "Instead of crappy Chinese fakes being put into Navy weapons systems, the chips could have been hacked, able to shut off a missile in the event of war…The U.S. has been worried about its foreign-sourced chips in its supply chain for awhile now. In a 2005 report, the Defense Science Board warned that the shift towards greater foreign circuit production posed the risk that "trojan horse" circuits could be unknowingly installed in critical military systems." http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/06/chips-oy-spies-want-to-hack-proof-circuits
CHINA EXPORTING ADVANCED SUBMARINES TO PAKISTAN. A piece from an Indian national security and defense magazine says that China has agreed to sell advanced diesel submarines to Pakistan.

The UK-based human rights group Amnesty International has accused China of suppressing lawyers who become involved in politically sensitive human rights cases. The group says that many lawyers have been threatened and in some cases detained. Amnesty International's Asia Pacific Deputy Director stated: "Human rights lawyer are subject to escalating silencing tactics – from suspension or revoking of licenses to harassment, enforced disappearance or even torture." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-13970686
CHINA COULD MAKE 5TH GENERATION ENGINES BY 2021. A new piece from DefenseTech discusses recent reports that China may be able to produced 5th generation jet engines by 2021. The piece argues that while China suffers from a decentralized engine manufacturing sector, the timeline for China's capability to produce high-quality fighter engines capable of powering a modern fleet is most likely five to ten years. One qualification from the piece: "Even if Chinese fighter engine tech gets to the point where the U.S. engine sector was in the early 1990's, its engines will support its rise as a REGIONAL military power, not a superpower." http://defensetech.org/2011/06/29/report-china-may-have-5th-gen-engine-tech-by-2021/
CHINESE FIRMS FACE ACCOUNTING RESEARCH ARMIES. A new piece from the WSJ explains that "armies" of researchers are pouring over financial and corporate records of Chinese businesses trying to determine the risks of international investment. From the piece: "Given the paucity of public data in China, it is often hard for short sellers to prove fraud or to quantify its presence. It is often equally difficult for the companies to disprove the short sellers' allegations quickly to stem the fall of their share prices." http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303627104576409573178681118.html
CHINA SAYS TALKS WITH INDIA WERE SUCCESSFUL. China's Defense Ministry said this week that a recent visit by an Indian military delegation had been successful and would benefit Indian-Chinese relations after a freeze in ties over a visa row last year. India and China, emerging rivals for resources and global influence, fought over a border in the 1960s and have been wary neighbors ever since. China's Defense Ministry spokesman Yang Yujun: "Last year, Sino-Indian military exchanges experienced some difficulties, but…both sides worked hard to find a good way of resolving this." http://af.reuters.com/article/energyOilNews/idAFL3E7HT1NF20110629
CHINA REPACKAGES MAO'S "RED CULTURE." A piece from the NYT describes how China has used a campaign of government driven Maoist "red culture" to stir nationalism in the lead up to the Chinese Communist Party's 90th birthday. From the piece: "The kindergarten musical climaxed in a whirlwind of violence: A teacher playing a Japanese soldier sliced down a peasant girl with a curved sword, just as two tykes in Red Army outfits took aim at him with plastic pistols…The Maoist musical was the brainchild of the Red Song Association…The group on the front lines of a government-driven 'red culture' revival." http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/30/world/asia/30redsong.html

Efforts Ramping Up to Treat EB: Interview with DEBRA
by Mary Chapman
Editor's note: This is the second in a two-part series on epidermolysis bullosa. The first part, about the complications caregivers experience with the disease, can be found here.
Despite the recent clinical-trial failure of SD-101, a once-promising skin cream, efforts are building to better understand epidermolysis bullosa (EB) and find relief, if not a cure, for those with the devastating disease.
Currently, there is no U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved treatment for EB, a group of extremely painful and disfiguring skin disorders that affect children from birth. Care basically consists of pain management, as well as bandaging and cleansing open wounds to avoid infection. Feeding tubes, antibiotics and hand and esophageal surgeries are also regularly used to treat EB symptoms.
Amicus Therapeutics' investigative treatment SD-101, also known as allantoin cream, had the potential to become the first FDA-approved therapy for those with EB.
Engineered to treat EB's hallmark skin blistering and lesions, SD-101 ultimately was found to have not much more effect during late-stage clinical trials than placebos, and did not meet primary and secondary treatment goals, Amicus announced Sept. 13. The biotech company said it had no plans for more studies and will not market the product.
Other therapies look good
Brett Kopelan, executive director of DEBRA of America, a nonprofit that supports and raises research funds for the EB community, called the announcement "bad news." Still, he was upbeat about prospective treatments such as EB-101 for patients with the recessive dystrophic type of EB.
The FDA recently recommended that Abeona Therapeutics accelerate its clinical development program of the gene therapy. "It's good news, exciting," said Kopelan, who has a daughter with EB. The pivotal Phase 3 trial is expected to start early next year.
"The FDA guidance is an important milestone in our clinical development plant for EB-101, and we are pleased to be moving forward into a registrational Phase 3 clinical study in 2018," Abeona's president and CEO, Timothy J. Miller said in a news release. "We are grateful that the FDA has recognized EB-101 as rare disease pathology to offer significant therapeutic benefit for RDEB patients."
Patients with recessive dystrophic EB lack the collagen C7, a component responsible for maintaining different layers of skin attached to each other. The investigational gene therapy is supposed to add the correct COL7A1 gene to skin cells. In turn, the new gene will spark production of the missing C7 protein and help repair damaged skin.
At the University of Minnesota Masonic Children's Hospital, a cure-focused EB clinical trial is underway in the form of bone marrow transplants. The most recent part of the treatment study involves receiving a transplant from a half-matched donor like a sibling or parent, and post-transplant, multiple infusions of certain stem cells.
"The work out of Minnesota is truly groundbreaking," Kopelan said. "But it's still being studied to see if it's an effective treatment. It's also important to weigh the risks, both long and short."
Elsewhere, EB researchers from around the world are looking into new therapies. Stem cell transplants, protein replacement and gene therapies are moving forward, and a host of wound care therapies are being tested, according to ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health.
Scientists are studying, for example, the CelluTome system to treat lesions; the treatment of itch in EB patients; biochemical correction of severe EB; Alwextin cream in treating EB; and the effectiveness of granulocyte colony stimulating factor in patients with recessive dystrophic EB.
Also under study is gentamicin therapy for recessive dystrophic EB patients with nonsense mutations; the safety of Fibrocell's gene therapy candidate FCX-007 for recessive dystophic EB; the long-term safety of the cream Zorblisa; and the topical sirolimus 2% for patients with EB simplex.
Exciting news about diacerein 1%
Kopelan is particularly enthusiastic about Castle Creek's diacerein 1% ointment (CCP-020), which blocks interleukin-1 beta (IL-1b), an inflammatory signaling pathway in EB simplex, the most common type of EB. The hope is that by diminishing the inflammatory pathway associated with EB, CCP-020 can strengthen tissue and support healing. The first patient was enrolled in the study this past spring.
"I'm very excited about diacerein," Kopelan said. "Castle Creek is a great biotech with a great team. It's nice that a drug is really looking at the simplex market in general and as a prophylactic therapy."
However, Kopelan is less sanguine about KeragelT cream, in wide use worldwide. The keratin-based gel can be used in the regular management of injured and uninjured skin of those with EB to make skin more robust and potentially less vulnerable to breakdown. It gained FDA approval in 2009. "KeragelT has not been, nor is it going to be, subject to a rigorous clinical trial through the FDA," he said.
The tried and true may not work
Some patients and caregivers rely on existing topical treatments such as Aquafor ointment and Mepilex Transfer Dressing, while others routinely use silver ointment or natural substances like coconut oil or medical-grade honey to help manage pain and wounds, and to reduce the risk of infection. However, most topical products are not supported by clinical evidence regarding their safety and efficacy for treatment.

Golden Gate Area Council - History
At 6:30 PM on Monday, April 27, 2020 the stakeholders for the Alameda Council, the Mt. Diablo Silverado Council and the San Francisco Bay Area Council overwhelmingly approved to merge the three Scout councils into a single new entity called the Golden Gate Area Council. The official merger date of the new council was Monday, June 1, 2020 and the first leaders of the council were Scout Executive John Fenoglio and Council President Dan Walters.
Originally the vote of the stakeholders was scheduled for March 30, however due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the in-person meetings were canceled and ballots ultimately mailed to each of the voting members with the new date.
The discussions to merge the councils actually started back in 2012 when the leaders of the Mt Diablo Silverado council approached the San Francisco Bay Area council about a possible merge. Those initial discussions ultimately ended on August 29, 2012 with a no merge vote. However eight years later, those discussions again were the topic of the day due to the vacancies left by the Scout Exec positions in the SFBAC and MDSC Councils. National guidelines require that Councils review possible merging when Scout Executive positions are vacated as a way to possibly save money. This time, the merge made sense.
The merging of these three great councils into one, united over 19,000 youth members in Cub Scouts, ScoutsBSA, Venturers and Sea Scouts from six Bay Area counties into one strong council with over 7000 dedicated adult volunteers along with five Scout Camps. The camps of the Golden Gate Area Council are comprised of Camp Royaneh (est. 1925), Camp Wolfeboro (est. 1928), Camp Herms (est. 1930), Rancho Los Mochos (est. 1944) and Wente Scout Reservation (est. 1959).
The three service centers of the council continued to be operated with one in Alameda (1714 Everett St), one in San Leandro (1001 Davis St) and one in Pleasant Hill (800 Ellinwood Way). The Pleasant Hill office became the new headquarters of the combined council.
Although our new council is called the Golden Gate Area Council, our history with the Boy Scouts of America actually started some 104 years earlier in 1916 when our original legacy councils were formed. The original eight scout councils of the Golden Gate Area were the following: Berkeley Council (formed 1916), Oakland Area Council (formed 1916), San Francisco Council (formed 1917), Alameda Council (formed 1917), Napa Council (formed 1917), Contra Costa Council (formed 1922), Solano Council (formed 1922) and the Luther Burbank Council (formed 1923).
The first council shoulder patch (CSP) for the GGAC was designed by Venturer Melody Fewx which was selected from more than 70 entries by the various youth of the council.
The diagram below gives a basic pictorial overview as to the merger history, name changes and council identifiers for each of the original legacy councils along with the Order of the Arrow Lodges associated with the councils.
Over the years these various councils merged to form larger councils in order to broaden the reach of Scouting and provide more program for the youth in both the cities and suburbs.

Home	Finance	Can Supply Chains Adapt to a Post-COVID-19 Reality?
Can Supply Chains Adapt to a Post-COVID-19 Reality?
by internationalbanker April 6, 2021
By Joseph Moss, International Banker
By now, most of us have been made painfully aware of the sheer magnitude of the coronavirus pandemic's impact on the global economy. In particular, it has been clear to see how global demand has been affected, as average household income has taken a spectacular nosedive and consumption has taken a beating as the virus continues to restrict people's movements, and rising unemployment concerns have made people decidedly more cautious about their planned expenditures. Businesses have also put most of their capital-spending plans on hold during this period of marked uncertainty, which has meant investment has also plummeted over the last year or so.
What has been perhaps less visible but just as impactful has been the damage the virus has inflicted on the world's supply infrastructure and, in particular, global supply chains. From the moment a certain resource is mined or created to the time the consumer receives the final product, COVID-19 has affected every stage of the supply chain in a way few industry leaders will have ever experienced before or anticipated 18 months ago, with most of the world's manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers being significantly touched in one way or another.
According to research published in November by Capgemini, more than four out of every five organisations reported that COVID-19 had negatively affected their supply chains. "Our research also found that organisations have struggled to respond rapidly to disruptions and to restore operations to a steady state (for instance, restoring inventory levels and the availability of manufacturing and logistics capacity), which further highlights the lack of resilience in supply chains today," the study noted. "As many as 55 percent of organizations have taken three to six months to recover from supply chain disruptions, while 13 percent expect to take 6 to 12 months to do so."
Similarly, a September 2020 paper sought to identify the major issues that NASDAQ-100 firms faced as a result of COVID-19's impact on supply chains as well as the strategic options that they were contemplating. To determine these trends, the researchers used firms' Twitter data and test analytics tools to generate themes regarding the issues they faced and the strategies they adopted in response to such challenges. "We find that firms are facing challenges in terms of demand-supply mismatch, technology, and development of a resilient supply chain," the study observed. "Moreover, moving beyond profitability, firms are experiencing difficulties to construct a sustainable supply chain."
But at which stages of the supply chain are the disruptions being most keenly felt? The Capgemini research found that organisations face significant challenges across all stages:
Planning: 69 percent of respondents cited difficulties in supply planning due to lack of information on impacted suppliers, with 68 percent identifying difficulties in demand planning due to lack of data on fluctuating demand;
Sourcing: 74 percent faced shortages in critical parts and materials as well as delayed shipments and longer lead times;
Production: 69 percent noted difficulties in rapidly scaling production up and/or down, and 68 percent faced problems reconfiguring production lines;
Warehousing and distribution: 69 percent faced difficulties in balancing stock between warehouses, and 68 percent faced difficulties with products being held up in ports or across borders;
Sales: 71 percent had difficulties switching to online channels, and 67 percent lost sales due to items being out of stock.
What is also particularly egregious about this pandemic as far as supply chains are concerned is that China was the source of its initial impact. With Chinese factories the first to close early last year, and with China being the world's prime hub for global production—the United Nations put the country's share of global manufacturing output in 2018 at a hefty 28 percent—disruptions to the availability of goods were created from the very beginning of the virus's outbreak and weighed heavily on supply in developed markets. What's more, many manufacturers rely almost exclusively on China for raw materials, meaning that with a lack of supply-chain diversification, their struggles were almost instant once the pandemic became a serious issue. In Japan, for instance, China's lockdown sent the country's automaker industry into chaos as those firms that operated factories and those that procured parts from their neighbour were effectively cut off. And with Japan and several other countries also procuring masks and protective gowns from China, the pandemic exposed some extreme vulnerabilities associated with the lack of diversification across the global supply chain.
Both the pandemic and the trade war between the United States and China have forced companies all over the world to review their supply-chain arrangements, with several reports over the last year detailing something of an exodus from China, either to neighbouring countries, such as Vietnam and Taiwan, or back to their home countries as part of a process known as "reshoring". Nonetheless, it seems unlikely that China will lose its status as the factory of the world anytime soon. A 2020 China Business Report by the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai, for instance, found that 70.6 percent of more than 200 respondents confirmed they would not be withdrawing their operations from the country.
So, if most companies are staying put, what can they do to address the problems? Writing in the World Economic Forum (WEF), Jean-Pierre Krause, the global head of risk engineering at Zurich Insurance Group, recently identified four key questions that ought to be addressed:
Is it time to further diversify my supply chain? With COVID-19 uncovering the overreliance manufacturers had placed on China, it seems like the right time to consider other manufacturing hubs such as Vietnam, Mexico and India, which are only likely to strengthen during the coming years. "This can help you navigate geopolitical risks and potential trade wars," according to Krause. "It is also an opportunity to increase transparency and gain a deeper understanding of the vulnerabilities and hidden risks throughout your supply chain, including your suppliers' suppliers."
Do I need to localize manufacturing? By moving a chunk of production towards the end consumer and therefore promoting the localisation of supply chains, manufacturing can be more resilient to global challenges. "This strategy will likely increase costs, but it may also appease governments who sometimes apply pressure to manufacture in-country to boost employment and ensure certainty of supply of critical products, such as medical supplies."
Should I invest in digitising my supply chain? With supply chains still often using antiquated processes, digitisation offers the chance to build interconnected digital supply networks that more effectively anticipate and respond to potential supply chain shocks in the future. "Digitizing the supply chain, by investing in artificial intelligence and intelligent automation, can create smart and nimble supply chains able to quickly shift production strategies," Krause noted.
Can I make my supply chain more customer-focused? The pandemic caused demand shocks that left warehouses full of unwanted or outdated goods. But by more closely marketing those products that are in stock and at areas where there is stronger demand, supply chains can be more efficiently utilised. "Instead of waking up worrying about how to solve the next issue to beset your supply chain, you'll lie awake considering the opportunities to redesign supply chains to be smarter and more resilient."
It would seem, then, that companies are now well aware of the need to address their supply-chain vulnerabilities. The Capgemini research found that the pandemic had forced organisations to prioritise supply-chain resilience, with 66 percent stating that their supply-chain strategies would have to change significantly to adapt to the new normal and just 14 percent indicating that they were expecting a return to normal.
And a recent survey by Gartner of more than 1,300 supply-chain professionals revealed that 87 percent of respondents plan to invest in supply-chain resiliency within the next two years. The survey, conducted from September 2020 through November 2020, also showed that 89 percent of supply-chain professionals want to invest in agility. "Supply chain executives overwhelmingly recognize the necessity to make their networks more resilient and agile," said Geraint John, vice president analyst with the Gartner Supply Chain practice. "At the same time, 60 percent admit that their supply chains have not been designed for resilience, but cost-efficiency. The challenge will be to create an operating model for supply chains that combines the best of both worlds and also delivers supreme customer service."
As for the situation today, however, structural problems and limitations have clearly been exposed throughout the supply chain. And as the world strives to move into a post-COVID-19 reality, it seems highly likely that supply chains will be forever changed. US President Joe Biden's signing of an executive order in February to review the systemic risks in the supply chains across several important industries, including agriculture, pharmaceuticals and semiconductors, suggests that, at least from a US perspective, the effective management of those risks is being treated as a distinct priority. But companies, and in particular risk managers, must ensure that they not only adapt their supply chains to meet the demands of the new normal but also immediately identify the supply-chain deficiencies exposed by the pandemic and move quickly to correct them.

How does a dinner theater production of a warhorse make it into the Top 10? By making the old seem new. Director Michael Brindisi dug beneath all the musical theater clichés to find the shimmering truths and all the different levels of romance in the script and songs in a production that's still running out in Chanhassen.
He cast one of the best musical theater actresses in the area — Norah Long — to play Guenevere. He persuaded Steve Hendrickson, one of the best actors in town — period — to play King Arthur. He placed the action on a slightly menacing, windswept set by Nayna Ramey.
Most of all, he trusted that the story and its ideas were still resonant. He didn't trick the show up. He didn't overcompensate for its flaws. He simply dusted off "Camelot" and gave us hope – for one brief shining moment – that good ideas could still change the world."


Published by the Minster FM News Team at 9:52am 12th May 2014.
Clare Aldrich has been given £300 of funding by O2 Think Big to put on a performance of Cendrillon at the Grand Opera House York.
The 20 year-old who lives in Heslington, York, is in her second year at the University of York, studying BA Music. She is an opera singer and part of the university operatic society, where she is head of production.
The opera society is putting together a performance of Cendrillon – the story of Cinderella. The society's adaptation reimagines this classic fairy-tale through the eyes of a WWII veteran, reminiscing on his war-time romance. The 79 member cast sing in English, making it accessible for the audience. This production is one night only, on the 20th June 2014.
As the performance will be in the Grand Opera House York, it is an expensive venture for the society, so Clare is fundraising with various events to ensure the performance will go ahead.
O2's Think Big supports young people such as Clare all over the UK by transforming their creativity and passions into projects that benefit their local communities through money, support and training.
The initiative works by putting cash directly in the hands of young people and supporting them to use the money in a way that delivers a positive impact in their local area.
In addition to the financial support, Clare will receive substantial training and mentoring from experienced O2 professionals, to give her a hand in tackling the issues of creating an information booklet of this kind.
"Young people are brimming with ideas, passion and enthusiasm and we want to encourage all of that exciting creativity. That's exactly what O2 Think Big is about. We give bright young people the tools and help needed to grow their passion and ideas.
O2 Think Big has helped to fund and make over 4,000 youth projects happen across the UK over the past 3 years.

Media Center Press Room Press Releases
MCIT Continues with Projects, Initiatives to Promote Entrepreneurship, Innovation
The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) continues with its projects and initiatives to promote entrepreneurship and innovation among the youth, to create non-traditional job opportunities and develop innovative technological solutions. This comes as part of MCIT efforts to foster technological innovation and support entrepreneurship.
In this regard, the Minister of Communications and Information Technology Amr Talaat stated that promoting technological innovation-based entrepreneurship is one of the key pillars of MCIT strategy for building Digital Egypt, and a main plank of strengthening Egypt's position in the global ICT industry scene.
Egypt is a regional leader in attracting investments in startups, in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region. In 2020, Egyptian technology startups made the largest number of investment deals in Africa, making up 24% of all transactions in the region, he added.
Talaat said that innovation is one of the mainstays of building a knowledge-based economy, and a key driver of economic growth. MCIT is keen to provide the necessary support to create an environment that promotes entrepreneurship and innovation among the Egyptian youth, nationwide. This is achieved through establishing Creativa Innovation Hubs, helping entrepreneurs to develop their ideas and turn them into value-added products, and supporting startups and strengthen their role in the digital transformation system.
The ICT Minister highlighted that the Technology Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center (TIEC) carries out programs to boost technological innovation and entrepreneurship, starting with promoting that culture among students, then providing financial, technical and logistic support to foster their innovative projects and display their final products in global markets.
This year, TIEC managed to create 4,025 job opportunities from the programs targeting startups, in addition to providing support and training for 766 entrepreneurs, Talaat said. He added that MCIT strives to establish Creativa Innovation Hubs nationwide to achieve equality in development.
MCIT also implemented the first phase of Creativa Innovation Hubs project to enable young people, in governorates, to innovate and unleash their creativity. The Hubs have accelerators and business incubators; they also host youth training programs in different ICT fields and entrepreneurship skills. This is in addition to innovation competitions to encourage university students and entrepreneurs, in governorates, to start their ICT projects.
Five pilot Hubs are successfully running in Mansoura, Menoufia, Minya, Sohag and Qena Universities, with five more being established in Ismailia, Aswan, Cairo, Giza, and the Knowledge City in the New Administrative Capital. The third phase of the project is being planned, to establish Hubs in more governorates. In this regard, protocols of cooperation were signed to establish Hubs in Benha and Fayoum Universities, and discussions were made to establish a Hub in Kafr El Sheikh Governorate.
Furthermore, the Information Technology Industry Development Agency (ITIDA), an affiliate of MCIT, is collaborating with the Industrial Modernization Center (IMC) and Siemens Egypt to establish and equip the first Industry 4.0 Innovation Center (IIC) in Egypt, in the Knowledge City in the New Administrative Capital.
The IIC aims to raise awareness of the Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies and their practical applications in smart factories, adopt advanced technology in local manufacturing, and provide training in automation and digitization techniques. This is in addition to providing the necessary support in the areas of stimulating industrial innovation and designing smart factories in a way that contributes to the transfer of knowledge and the development of the industrial sector.
In an effort to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and freelancers grow, Our Digital Opportunity initiative was launched, where 10% of Digital Egypt projects are assigned to SMEs to undertake, through the initiative's platform. In this respect, 16 projects, with a total value of EGP 44 million, were assigned to SMEs. The second batch of projects is being prepared.
Moreover, Startup Launchpad initiative was created in collaboration with the American University in Cairo (AUC) Venture Lab, a member of the Babson Collaborative for Entrepreneurship Education of Babson College. The aim is to help the technological innovation ecosystem in Egypt flourish, through building young people's capacity in entrepreneurship to carry out projects capitalizing on innovative technological solutions.
Completing the first round of the initiative were 13 startups specializing in areas including Artificial Intelligence (AI), data science, e-commerce platforms, cloud computing; digital game, application and web development.
In addition, ITIDA and Visa, the global payment technology company, launched ITIDA-VISA Mentorship Program, targeting entrepreneurs and startups specializing in fintech. The program offers a full-fledged package of benefits and services to enhance participants' capabilities and help develop innovative fintech solutions.
Furthermore, in response to the request of a large number of university students, a new round of InnovEgypt program was announced. InnovEgypt is a training program in innovation and entrepreneurship tracks and skills, targeting university students and graduates majoring in ICT.

Accuracy, reproducibility, and interpretation of fatty acid methyl ester profiles of model bacterial communities
Applied and Environmental Microbiology
By: Haack S. Kidd, H. Garchow, D.A. Odelson, L.J. Forney, and M.J. Klug
We determined the accuracy and reproducibility of whole-community fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) analysis with two model bacterial communities differing in composition by using the Microbial ID, Inc. (MIDI), system. The biomass, taxonomic structure, and expected MIDI-FAME profiles under a variety of environmental conditions were known for these model communities a priori. Not all members of each community could be detected in the composite profile because of lack of fatty acid 'signatures' in some isolates or because of variations (approximately fivefold) in fatty acid yield across taxa. MIDI- FAME profiles of replicate subsamples of a given community were similar in terms of fatty acid yield per unit of community dry weight and relative proportions of specific fatty acids. Principal-components analysis (PCA) of MIDI-FAME profiles resulted in a clear separation of the two different communities and a clustering of replicates of each community from two separate experiments on the first PCA axis. The first PCA axis accounted for 57.1% of the variance in the data and was correlated with fatty acids that varied significantly between communities and reflected the underlying community taxonomic structure. On the basis of our data, community fatty acid profiles can be used to assess the relative similarities and differences of microbial communities that differ in taxonomic composition. However, detailed interpretation of community fatty acid profiles in terms of biomass or community taxonomic composition must be viewed with caution until our knowledge of the quantitative and qualitative distribution of fatty acids over a wide variety of taxa and the effects of growth conditions on fatty acid profiles is more extensive.


One of New Zealand's greatest Investec Super Rugby rivalries ignites when the Crusaders and Hurricanes square off in a crucial final round clash in Christchurch.
The stakes will be high in this clash with the winner moving to the top of the NZ conference and the loser potentially finishing in fourth place. The Crusaders and Hurricanes have a rich history but haven't met since 29 May 2015 when the Hurricanes ran away winners 35-18 in Nelson. The Hurricanes have the stronger recent form with four straight wins while the Crusaders lost to the Chiefs in round 15 before thumping the Rebels 85-26 last week.
Although the Crusaders have spent most of the season near the top of the Investec Super Rugby ladder, their defence has begun to show some frailties over the past three weeks. For the first time since 2011, the Crusaders have conceded over 20 points in three straight matches. With the Hurricanes averaging four tries a match and noted as one of the best counter attacking teams in the competition, the Crusaders will need to shore up their defence to shut out the visitors.
While the forward battle will be fierce, this contest could be decided out wide with two dynamic wing pairings squaring off. The proven duo of Julian Savea and Cory Jane were back to their best against the Waratahs last week but will face an intriguing test from Nemani Nadolo and Johnny McNicholl. The 125kg Nadolo leads the Super Rugby stats in clean breaks while McNicholl showcased his growing stature as an attacking force with three tries against the Rebels last week.
Reserves: Ricky Riccitelli, Ben May, Loni Uhila, Mark Abbott, Callum Gibbins, Jamison Gibson Park, Wes Goosen, Jason Woodward.

Q: TP-Link TL-WA850RE Wi-Fi Range Extender won't work I bought this to avoid drivers by using the ethernet port but the stupid thing still doesn't work. The range is fine since I can connect with my phone. When I plug in the cable nothing happens. In the network panel menu item, it has a question mark on it. I've uploaded some photos of what it says. Please keep in mind I am new to ubuntu and don't know how to do anything. I did have D-Link Wi-Fi extender but gave up trying to get it to work.

A: I faced the same problem; the wired connection on the extender worked fine with Windows on a dual-boot computer, but it wouldn't work with Ubuntu even though I could get a working wired connection directly from my cable router.
I was able to solve the problem by
-- Setting the IPv4 method to manual
-- Copying the address, netmask and  gateway numbers from the wired settings within the extender configuration (I had to use a second computer connected to the extender to find those settings) and entering them in Ubuntu's wired settings
-- Turning off automatic DNS and entering DNS numbers manually
-- Disabling IPv6.
I'm not sure if all these steps were necessary, but this is what worked for me.
I was using the model TL-WA855RE, which I assume is nearly identical to the model in the original question.

A: As this comment is too long for a comment field, posted as an answer:
As you seem to have tried both a D-Link and a TP-Link Extender you seem to be misunderstanding what a WiFi Range extender does and and how it works:
A WiFi Range Extender works by capturing a WiFi signal and transporting that good signal over to a wired connection.  It does not turn a crappy WiFi signal into a good signal! :-(
So let's say you have your WiFi router in the basement and on the first floor you still have good WiFi reception but on the second floor you don't.  Then you have to plug in the WiFi extender on the 1st floor and run a cable to the 2nd floor.
In this particular use case, you might be better off with a TL-WPA9610 KIT which will use your existing electricity wires to transport LAN signals (you need 2: one next to the router to send the LAN signals and one in an electricity socket next to your computer to receive them)
This also makes this question and answer completely off-topic here as there is absolutely no Ubuntu angle...
Sorry! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Brief though their run may have been, Scotland's Altered Images left a few gems in their brief back catalogue. "I Could Be Happy" is probably my favorite, with Clare Grogan's coquettish pout in perfect harmony with the effervescent, rambunctious jangle that hallmarks the song. It's sunlight peaking through the rainclouds, this one. The video (and let's be honest, the song) is the kind of arty silliness that bands still try to nail to this day.

Tempe Town lake activities to start again in May
Boating, kayaking and paddle boating at Tempe Town Lake will start up again in May.
Two weeks ago officials began re-filling the lake with water. The lake is full now and officials are now conducting final testing on the hydraulic steel dam (the largest in the nation) and making final improvements to the structure.
Officials will be raising and lowering the gates to conduct "water-bearing tests" to make sure the dam is working correctly, especially since the Monsoon is a few weeks away.
These tests will put water activities on hold for another two weeks, a city spokesperson said Wednesday in a media release. However, all things should be operational by May 14--Tempe Town Lake Day.
The walking, biking and running paths around the lake are open and have been throughout the project.
Officials will be formally dedicating the dam on March 14 with live music, art, boats and presentations from those who built the dam. The event is free and will happen from 8 a.m. - 11 a.m.

On Friday, April 29, the city will be adding over 1.2 million goldfish and minnows to the lake to eat the insects. The fish that were initially removed from the lake when it was drained in February have already been added back in.
Other fish species will be added "over the next few weeks."
People can fish at the lake now as long as they have a fishing license from Arizona Game & Fish.
