The annual license fee to operate or conduct a food establishment in the Borough of Paulsboro shall be $1.

The first game of Darlaston's pre-season campaign is TONIGHT
 9 Jul 2019 By Simon Cox
This evening Darlaston play J.W. Hunt Cup winners Sporting Khalsa at RSA Academy, kick off 8pm. ENTRANCE IS FREE
Tonight, Darlaston fans will see eight of Andy Parkes close season signings, these include two captains from teams we played against last season, and last season's Division One Player of the Year, along with some returning faces from last season's promotion winning squad.
Sporting Khalsa have only returned back into pre-season in the past two weeks ago, this is also their first game of their pre-season campaign. We would anticipate them to be in the middle of signing players for next season, so don't be surprised to see some of the players that guided them to a third-place finish in the Total Motion Midland League Premier Division last season as well as winning the prestigious J.W. Hunt Cup at Molineux Stadium mixed with a few trialists and maybe even a few youth players looking to step up and make their name.
Manager Parkes said last night "I am really looking to getting back onto the side of the pitch, its not only the players that miss games, its everyone, the management, supporters, volunteers and anyone connected with a football club. The lads are well prepared and cannot wait to get going. Pre-season games are not always about results, its all about the quality of the performance, and getting the players ready mentally and physically for the first league game of the season on the 3rd August. It will be great to see the club's supporters once again and say hello."
This evening offers the chance for supporters to see each other for the first time since the end of last season, as well as seeing new additions to both squads. This is the first game of a long hard season for both clubs, so why not take advantage of the warm weather, and come and watch two sides who like to play football on a sound surface.
ENTRANCE IS FREE to the match, which is being played at RSA Academy Bilston Road, TIPTON, DY4 0BZ, kick off is 8 pm

I am memorizing Isaiah 55:1-13 (scroll down to see the entire passage). They are powerful words for our time. We so readily "spend our money on food that does not give us strength." We rely on our own thoughts, our own ways, our own wisdom. But there is an alternative. There is "food that is good for the soul." There are "ways that are higher than our ways."
I will seek the Lord while I can find Him. I will call upon Him while He is near. God's word always produces fruit and will accomplish all He wants it to do. Where once there were thorns, good trees will grow. Where once there was darkness and evil, joy and peace will burst out.
I don't want the expensive, sugar-laden, drinks that our world offers. They do not satisfy. I want this never-ending drink that satisfies and is good for the soul. Jesus said, "If you are thirsty, come to me!" and "If you believe in me, come and drink!"(John 7:37-38). That is the kind of refreshment I need.
"Is anyone thirsty? Come and drink—even if you have no money! Come, take your choice of wine or milk—it's all free!  Why spend your money on food that does not give you strength? Why pay for food that does you no good? Listen, and I will tell you where to get food that is good for the soul!
 "Come to me with your ears wide open. Listen, for the life of your soul is at stake. I am ready to make an everlasting covenant with you. I will give you all the mercies and unfailing love that I promised to David.  He displayed my power by being my witness and a leader among the nations.  You also will command the nations, and they will come running to obey, because I, the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, have made you glorious."
 Seek the Lord while you can find him. Call on him now while he is near.  Let the people turn from their wicked deeds. Let them banish from their minds the very thought of doing wrong! Let them turn to the Lord that he may have mercy on them. Yes, turn to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
 "My thoughts are completely different from yours," says the Lord. "And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.  For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.
 "The rain and snow come down from the heavens and stay on the ground to water the earth. They cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry.  It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it.  You will live in joy and peace. The mountains and hills will burst into song, and the trees of the field will clap their hands!  Where once there were thorns, cypress trees will grow. Where briers grew, myrtles will sprout up. This miracle will bring great honor to the Lord's name; it will be an everlasting sign of his power and love.


It was the day of Eid-ul-Adha in a close-knit neighbourhood. It was a neighbourhood which generally came together to celebrate every occasion. Today was no different. Children from different households, along with some adults, were hurriedly making their way to whichever house was doing the sacrifice of animals. There, they would all congregate and watch it together. Children and men would stand on the road, while women would peep from their windows, terraces or roofs.
Sidra and Sarah were two sisters who were part of the brigade of children who were enthusiastically following the sacrifice of all the houses. They had been a part and parcel of these celebrations year after year, and they were not planning to miss any thing today. However, something seemed out of place this year. Sarah, the younger sister, spotted it first.
Entertainment – this is essentially what Eid-ul-Adha has come to signify.
"Is that my imagination or are those guys over there making videos from their cell phone cameras?" she wondered aloud.
Sidra craned her neck to look. Sure enough, a bunch of teenaged boys along with some adults were making a video of the entire process of a cow being slaughtered for sacrifice. There were many laughs and shrieks of delight as this particular crowd captured and exchanged visual after visual. As the two sisters watched stunned, some of the crowd even clapped and cheered as a few men tried to control an over-excited cow and tie it down.
And sadly, this tale of one neighbourhood says it all. Entertainment – this is essentially what Eid-ul-Adha has come to signify. You get up early, you go watch all the sacrifices of animals being done in your neighbourhood, you clap and cheer, then you come back, sort out the meat of your own sacrificial animal, and then it's all about either dressing up to go out for dinner or spending a majority of time in the kitchen cooking meat-related delicacies for Eid parties being hosted in your own house.
But really, is that only what this Eid is all about? Of course, all of you reading this know exactly why this Eid is celebrated, so without going into all of that, let's just bring it down to one basic question – when you do your sacrifice on Eid-ul-Adha, do you think it reflects in your attitude for the rest of the year?
And if the above question makes no sense, think again about why this Eid is celebrated. You sacrifice an animal in the way of Allah (SWT). And if you do this simple act with the intention of imbibing the true spirit of sacrifice in your daily life, then one Eid will definitely go a long way in making a positive change in your attitude for the rest of the year. And if you start to dwindle in your resolve, another Eid comes to remind you of it.
This leads to another question. What does it mean to have the true spirit of sacrifice in one's daily life? It basically means to give up your favourite and most-cherished things in the way of Allah (SWT) at all times. For instance, suppose your mother asks you to give away some of your clothes to the less privileged. Honestly ask yourself what you do in this situation – do you hasten to give away your oldest, most worn out clothes or do you willingly give away your newer, better-looking clothes? The answer will tell you the extent to which you have the spirit of sacrifice within you.
Then think about what you do when you are faced with a difficult situation in your everyday life. For example, your mother is not feeling well and you must cook dinner. At the same time, there is a party at your best friend's house, which you don't want to miss. Again, are you willing to give up some of your fun for the sake of your household or do you insist on going to the party come what may? The answer, even to this question, will tell you for sure whether or not you have the spirit of sacrifice in you.
In a nutshell, there will always be instances and circumstances where you will have to give up your favoured choice, and go for the one which you don't like – for the greater good. How willingly you go for the lesser-liked choice is the spirit of sacrifice, and every year in which you experience Eid-ul-Adha reminds you that such sacrifices are worth making for the pleasure of Allah (SWT) and the long term investment (Jannah).


Entropion is the term used to describe the inward folding of the eyelids. This is a discomforting condition since the eyelids will be rubbing against the cornea. This may lead to eye infections such as trachoma.
Entropion is diagnosed via physical examination and other ocular tests to detect lesions and spasms in the affected eye.
Treatment is done by the surgical removal of the skin that affects the eye.
Among the symptoms of entropion are pain and redness in the affected eye, sagging skin around the eye, abnormal sensitivity to light and dust, decreased vision and uncontrollable tearing.
The causes of entropion are genetic, and others are born with the disease.

IN COMPETITION TO DISCOVER TOMORROW'S PROTEINS, XPRIZE UNVEILS SEMIFINALIST TEAMS IN XPRIZE FEED THE NEXT BILLION
After months of applications and weeks of deliberation by the Competition's Panel of Judges, 28 Teams Will Collectively Be Awarded Up To $500,000 to Support Their Development of Globally Accessible Chicken and Fish Alternatives
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA (July 13, 2021) – Today, XPRIZE is pleased to announce the 28 semifinalist teams moving forward in XPRIZE Feed the Next Billion. The $15 million competition, launched in December 2020, is aimed at reinventing how humanity will feed future generations by incentivizing the production of structured chicken breast or fish fillet alternatives that replicate or outperform conventional chicken and fish in: access, environmental sustainability, animal welfare, nutrition and health, as well as taste and texture.
Selected by the competition's panel of judges, the 28 semi-finalist teams were chosen based on their technical submissions and represent 14 countries.
Over the next year, semifinalists will work closely with the competition's ecosystem and sponsors, which include ASPIRE and The Tony Robbins Foundation, as they begin to develop the first iteration of their products. From the Semifinalist teams, up to 10 Finalist teams will be chosen based on the merit of their technical solution prototypes towards the end of 2022 and will split a milestone award of $2.5 million. Finalist teams will enter one last round of solution development before final judging which will award one grand prize team a prize of $7 million, second & third place prizes of $2 and $1 million respectively, and a bonus prize of $2 million. The winning teams will need to create at least twenty-five cuts of structured chicken breast or fish fillet analogs of 115 gram or four ounce that replicate the sensory properties, versatility, and nutritional profile of conventional chicken or fish.
XPRIZE is pleased to share that the following teams have been selected to move forward in the competition:
Air Protein, United States
Another Fish, Canada
Atlast Food Co, United States
BlueNalu, United States
Boston Meats, United States

"Over the past several years, as our global population continues to grow and the demand for meat products increases, it has become clear that our current global food chain cannot keep up," said Caroline Kolta, XPRIZE Feed the Next Billion Program Lead. "We know we need more nutritious, environmentally-friendly and sustainable alternatives to conventional animal-based products, and that wide scale adoption will require additional innovation continuously being brought to market. I am thrilled about the international cohort of Semifinalists selected to embark on this journey of innovation and exploration to shape a future of food, starting with chicken and fish."
The XPRIZE Feed the Next Billion judging panel consists of a diverse, international group of tech industry experts working at the highest levels of academia and research. The 8 judges include:
Amy C. Rowat, Associate Professor of Integrative Biology and Physiology at the University of California, Los Angeles
Brian Jacobson, Assistant Director of Pilot Plant Operations University of Illinois, Integrated Bioprocessing Research Laboratory (IBRL)
Dan Blaustein-Rejto, Director of Food & Agriculture at The Breakthrough Institute
Kantha Shelke, Ph.D., Founder and Principal at Corvus Blue LLC
Dr. Keith Cox, Co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Seafood Analytics, Assistant Professor of Marine Fisheries at The University of Alaska Southeast (UAS)

Dr. Marcos Sanchez-Plata, Associate Professor, Global Food Security - Animal and Food Sciences at Texas Tech University
Olivia Ogilvie, Postdoctoral Fellowship in Cellular Agriculture with a Specific Focus on Cultured Meat - The University of Auckland
XPRIZE Feed the Next Billion originated from the Future of Food Impact Roadmap, an in-depth analysis by XPRIZE of global food system challenges, which found alternative proteins at-scale to be a critical impact area requiring significant technological advances, decreased price points, and notable shifts in consumers' preferences. The competition was then launched with the support of partners including ASPIRE, a part of Abu Dhabi's Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC), the technology programme management pillar of Abu Dhabi's Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC) which shapes research and development for transformative technology outcomes and defines Abu Dhabi's R&D strategy, The Tony Robbins Foundation, The Good Food Institute, Foundation for Food and Agriculture, District 3, New Harvest, and Proveg International . Through the development of chicken and fish alternatives, teams competing in the prize will work to ensure that, as the world grows in wealth, the availability of sustainable food can meet the coming demand for food products that allow the next billion to live active and healthy lives.

Fox Brothers & Co is a clothmaker based in Wellington, Somerset, England. The company is one of the few working cloth mills still producing cloth entirely in England since 1772, although the present company was incorporated in 1996.

History
Fox Brothers originated in the clothier business of the Were family of Wellington. Their headquarters were at Trade Court, South Street, Wellington; they also owned two fulling mills. In 1768, Thomas Were's 21-year-old grandson Thomas Fox (1747-1821) joined the company, becoming partner in 1772 and sole proprietor in 1796. He introduced the FOX cloth mark and changed the name of the company (Fox Brothers from 1826). Thomas and his wife Sarah Smith, built in 1807, then lived in, Tone Dale House, Wellington - the house is still lived in by Ben Fox, five generations later.  During the Industrial Revolution the company brought wool sorting, spinning, drying and weaving under one roof.  It once owned nine mills, including Tonedale Mills and Tone Works, and employed nearly 5,000 workers.  During the First World War it won a War Office contract to provide  of khaki coloured cloth for military puttees.

Fox Brothers makes wool, worsted, cashmere and was the original creator of flannel for use in suitmaking and held the Trademark for 'Flannel' up to the 1950s.
  The company uses looms which are 50 years old and maintains a pattern archive dating back to its foundation, said to be 'one of the most significant textile (company) archives in the British Isles'.  Fox Brothers has made cloth for the suits of several famous people including flannel for Bob Hope, chalkstripe for Winston Churchill and Prince of Wales check for the Duke of Windsor. Hollywood legend Cary Grant was often photographed wearing Fox Flannel, at a time when leading men were expected to provide their own wardrobe for the films in which they starred.

Fox Brothers has won two Queen's Awards.  The first was won in 1966, the year the award scheme was founded, for their export sales.  The second was in 2006 in recognition of them manufacturing the world's lightest weight wool and cashmere flannel.  The company released new versions of one of their 1782 pattern flannels for the Autumn/Winter 2007 season, using all British wool.

Present
In June 2009, investor Deborah Meaden who features on Dragons' Den, purchased a majority stake.  Meaden grew up in the area, living  from the factory, while Meaden's husband went to school with two members of the Fox family, the original owners.

With Managing director Jack Hudson looking to retire, in November 2009, Douglas Cordeaux and Meaden bought the company, with Meaden taking 80% and Cordeaux 20%. Cordeaux, formerly of Pepe Jeans, today functions as Managing Director. Meaden is not involved with the day-to-day running of the company, but devises business strategy. Meaden will attempt to consolidate the firms established position in Japan, Italy and the UK, whilst expanding into the United States market.

The company currently employs twenty five people, an increase since Meaden and Cordeaux became joint owners.  In 2011, Fox appointed two full-time apprentices to ensure traditional skills are handed down to a new generation.  One will complete his apprenticeship at Fox; the second apprentice will split his training between Fox Brothers and Jack Wills.

The company presently supplies designer Ralph Lauren, Gieves & Hawkes, and Savile Row tailoring houses, Huntsman, Dege & Skinner, Anderson & Sheppard and Henry Poole, the official founder of Savile Row.  The company collaborated in 2010 with shoe retailer Clarks to make cloth for its classic desert boot for the Spring/Summer 2010 season. and Mackintosh included a stylish raincoat made from Fox fabric in the collection on display in their first ever shop, opened in London's prestigious Mount Street at the start of 2011. Lock & Co., founded 1676, is using Fox cloth extensively in its 'Lock & Roll' men's wear collection for Spring/Summer 2011. All but one of the caps in the collection are made from Fox cloth, following the success of the Autumn/Winter caps made from Fox fabrics, which it launched in 2010.

In October 2011, Fox Brothers and a network of British manufacturers launched 'The Merchant Fox', a website selling British-made luxury goods with proven provenance.

My love of photography started to evolve in high school and continued throughout college. I took the passion I had to a new level while working at a one hour photo processing thousands of treasured images for others. I wanted to capture those once in a lifetime moments instead of just developing them. A photograph has the gift of preserving that moment in time so it will be remembered forever.
I enjoy taking pics of everything from weddings to events to people. The majority of my time is spent with my husband and two kids who mean the world to me! My love of art extends to the classroom as well, teaching middle school peeps! If there is any time after that, I enjoy creating my own art with paint, clay and other mediums.
Feel free to drop me a line if you'd like me to be a part of your memories!
Lastly, one more note....if you want to view a gallery on a smart phone or device, yes there is an app for that! Just search for smugmug and you can add me to view! Technology is SO cool!!!!

Goldenvoice announced Tuesday that the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Neil Young, Roger Waters and the Who will perform during a three-day concert in the Southern California desert where the annual Coachella music festival is held. This is the first time these stalwart rockers have shared a billing.
Dubbed the Desert Trip , the classic-rock concert is set for October 7-9 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio. Like the Coachella festival, the Desert Trip will offer on-site camping and gourmet food stands.
Two acts will perform full sets each night after sunset. First up are the Stones and Dylan on Friday; McCartney and Young play Saturday. Pink Floyd's Waters and the Who close out the event on Sunday night.
Young's longtime manager, Elliot Roberts, told the Los Angeles Times recently that he's looking forward to the concert "more than any show in a long time."
"You won't get a chance to see a bill like this, perhaps ever again," he said.
Tickets go on sale May 9. A three-day pass costs $399; single-day tickets will sell for $199. Reserved-seating packages are available for $699 to $1,599.
