Help #TheFalcon to fly this London Marathon weekend
The year the Matt Kendall Foundation's official entrant into the 2017 Virgin Money London Marathon is Steve Falconi.
This will be Steve's third marathon and intends to smash is £1,500 fundraising target when he takes on the iconic road race on Sunday 23rd April.
Can you donate and help The Falcon to fly in what will be his toughest race yet?
For the third and (hopefully!) the last time I will be running the London Marathon to raise money for charity.
This year I am supporting The Matt Kendall Foundation, a charity closely linked to my school and run by a former deputy head.
It is a relatively new charity, which helps support young people to get into education, training and employment in the Birmingham area.
Any donation you can give would be very much appreciated by myself and the Foundation.

Marathon madness – Two #BrightonHeroes take on the Brighton Marathon
Our two fabulous fundraisers will be running the Brighton marathon this weekend. We are so proud of you! Everything step you take will make such a difference to young people.

Our pilot with Birmingham City Council
Even though the Trustees meet as often as possible to review applications for grants so that young people receive the money they need when they need it, we know that sometimes that's not often enough. We also know that there are many youth professionals in Birmingham that know which young people need funding – many of which are difficult for us to reach.
That's why we're teaming up with Birmingham City Council's Youth Service to run a grant funding project where youth workers manage a small grant pot to distribute as they see fit.
The Youth Service works with young people from across Birmingham, often from disadvantaged backgrounds who are facing daily struggles with financial barriers to realise their potential. Very timely, small grants can make all the difference.
We've had a number of conversations with the council who fully understand and support not only the ethos of the MKF but also the criteria by which we distribute grants. We're delighted that they'll be managing a grant of £3,000 over the next six months.
We'll be launching the pilot this autumn to see if this approach driven by local professionals supports more of Birmingham most disadvantaged. We'll keep you up to date!
Fabulous Fundraisers
Many of our fabulous fundraisers are showcased in our Impact Report . Thank you all! We'd especially like to thank Matt's old school, Feltonfleet School, who raised over £9,800 for the Foundation as their Charity of the Year.
But what are people doing now that you can support? Find out more about Jonny Carr's SuperBat Challenge, TeamMK running the Birmingham half marathon in October, Chris Tye's album success and much more…
Since Matt formed the Foundation in April 2015, you have raised over £40,000 for the disadvantaged young people in Birmingham, and many are already benefiting. Thank you!
So who's currently a fabulous fundraiser?
Team MKF runs the Birmingham Half Marathon – Richard Banks, Chris Tye and Jess Williams raised ran the Great Birmingham Run (half marathon) on Sunday 16th October. Fantastic efforts!! At the ti me of writing this article the team had almost doubled their £500 target. Can you spare a few pennies to help young people? Team MKF's JustGiving page is still open
Chris Tye donating 5% of album sales – Friend of the Foundation Chris Tye has just reached the number of pre-orders he needs to finish and publish his latest album 'Stronger in Numbers.' 5% of all of the money raised from here on in will go to the Matt Kendall Foundation (cheers Chris!) Please consider supporting Chris and the Foundation by joining over 100 other pledgers and pre-ordering what will be Chris' best work to date. The album will be out early next year.
Jonny Carr's Superbat Challenge – Jonny Carr lovingly restored the cricket bat given to him by Matt before he died through a shared loved of the glorious game, and has so far gone on to raise £145 through the cricket season. Thank you Jonny!
Do you live outside of Birmingham? Do you know any pots of money we could apply for or fundraising opportunities for the MKF? Please get in touch at themattkendallfoundation@yahoo.com ! Thanks.
Summer Shakedown success and the date for next year
Over £3,000 was raised in the 3rd annual Shakedown at Moseley Green Allotments on the 9th July.
Our thanks go to everyone that made the 3rd annual Summer Shakedown family festival a success!
With wall to wall (or allotment to allotment) zorbing, world food, music, face painting, family, friends and good vibes, we raised a massive £3,300 for the MKF. Thank you!
The Summer Shakedown (recently renamed because there's now seasonal shakedown sessions) was a fitting tribute to Matt and his legacy and gets bigger and better every year.
We're also delighted that the Somali community, led by MKF Trustee Dr. Jamil, held a fundraising football tournament at the same time.
See pictures of the event here. Thank you to James Crockford Photography who covered the event at no charge.
So, roll on next year. The Summer Shakedown will be held on the 1st July 2017, once again at Moor Green Allotments in Moseley.
Can you help out?
The Shakedown is such a big event that we're already planning for next year! There's an army of volunteers giving their time and skills to make it happen. Can you help to organise musicians, sound engineering, cook, face paint, run sports, take professional pictures or video, distribute posters and leaflets, be a part of the organising committee or do anything entertaining? We'd love to hear from you!
If you can help in anyway, please contact the Foundation on themattkendallfoundation@yahoo.com . Thanks!
What did we get up to last year?
Our inaugural year was a whirlwind of setting up processes, procedures and communications channels and liaising with the Charity Commission to receive accredited charity status.
But most importantly it was about you – in just a week we raised £10,000 and £30,000 in year through sponsored runs, sports tournaments, events and more. It still continues to amaze us how many people came together to honour Matt and support his vision and legacy.
The Impact Report details our story from the outset – how the Foundation came about, how money was raised, how it was spent, details about who runs and guides the Foundation and what we're going to do in the future, and most importantly, the story of our first grant recipient, Natalie.
We're excited about what 2016 will hold – including working with partners to make sure even more grants are supporting those young people most in need, the creation of a legacy package and raising more awareness with family professionals working with young people across the voluntary and public sectors.

Two more young people receive grants from the Foundation
Two more young people have received grants from the MKF to help them into employment.
Benedicta was struggling to settle in a career, but really wanted to
Benedicta is a new recipient of a MKF grant
progress in the media industry. Already a talented amateur photographer, Benedicta wanted to train to be a professional, but the costs of education, equipment and training was just too high. She's now the recipient of a MKF grant and is now the proud owner of a DSLR camera and is already studying photography and media.
Mohamed needed to support his family and parents but found that he needed to retrain in the security industry. Having gained the qualifications he needed he then found that not being able to drive was a real barrier to getting the job he so badly wanted.
He's now in a temporary security job but has been promised a long-term, stable position when he has passed his driving test. The Matt Kendall Foundation is pleased to be able to support costs towards his driving lessons. Good luck Mohamed!
A camera of my own is helping me to learn at my own pace and practice as much as I want and really learn how to improve. I want
to be really good at the skills I need to work in the Media.
First of all I would like to say thank you very much to the supporters of the Matt Kendall Foundation who have helped me make my dream come true and make me do something in life and give me the opportunity to achieve something in life.
I will now look for a suitable driving instructor to have some lessons and take my driving test as soon as possible. The grant from the Foundation means that I can now achieve my dream of helping my family and have a good future.
Meet Pheleba – the second recipient of a MKF grant
Pheleba has struggled with a number of different problems in her life –
including depression.
She's now the recipient of a £500 grant from the MKF and well on her way to becoming a qualified rhythmic gymnastics coach.
Do you know a young person from Birmingham who could use a grant from the Matt Kendall Foundation to help get into work or training? Find out more and apply
My name is Pheleba.
Recently I became a mother and have found myself having to seriously think what I want to do with my life to support my child.
I've been in love with rhythmic gymnastics since I started a class at the local sport centre when I was nine.
During my life I've struggled with a few problems - one of the biggest was depression. It got so bad I wouldn't even get out of bed some days but after being invited to help coach at my old gym club things started to slowly change. I found myself looking forward to Wednesday evenings where I'd coach a small group.
More recently a permanent coaching position became available at the club but was only suitable for a coach who had the correct qualifications.
I leapt at the chance to do the course but quickly found myself stuck as the it costs hundreds of pounds. An amount I just didn't have.
The Matt Kendall Foundation has not only supported me get on the course but helped me secure a positive safe future for me and my baby.
Pheleba, May 2016

Winger James Clare got his try scoring for the season under way in Castleford's victory over Hull FC last time out. Picture: Jon Medlow Photography.
CASTLEFORD TIGERS have made a perfect start to the season, in terms of results, but winger James Clare has warned they need to improve.
Tigers beat Challenge Cup holders Catalans Dragons 20-4 in Betfred Super League round one and were 26-18 victors at Hull last Friday.
Though the 2017 league leaders go into the World Club Challenge break third in the table, Clare felt they were well below par at KCOM Stadium and will be working hard to get better for their next game at London Broncos on Saturday, February 23.
"I don't think we could play any worse and get a win," Clare insisted of the match five days ago.
We just need to be a little bit smarter.
He added: "Hull is always an extremely difficult place to go at whatever time of the year, whether it's their first home game or the end of the season.
Tigers led by 10 early on, but found themselves 12-10 behind after half an hour and the result was in the balance throughout.
"We got a good start," Clare recalled. "If we had finished [their chances] a bit better and nailed the completion it might have been 20 or 30-0 by half-time.
"But we were keeping them contained in their half and kicking well, but turning the ball over with little silly errors.
Tigers' goal line defence has been on top form in both their games so far and Clare reckons that is the biggest positive.
Clare opened his try account for the season with one against Hull and that was a boost to his personal confidence.
"There's some massive positives. I think Cas are looking different this year defensively. The last couple of years in those big, tough games we've dropped off a little bit.
"Showing we are turning up for each other – the line speed in their 20 when we are trying to trap them down there – Castleford are looking massively different.
Hull's Scott Taylor has been banned for a total of three games over two separate incidents of dangerous contact against Tigers.

Legislators in Illinois are weighing a proposal to allow residents in the state to pay their taxes in cryptocurrency.
With the move, Illinois joins a growing list of U.S. states that are considering such measures, and the bill - filed in February and previously unreported - marks the third effort of its kind to emerge in 2018. The trend got started in January with Arizona, then Georgia lawmakers threw their hat in the ring the following month.
"n addition to any other method of payment provided for by law, the Department shall accept payment for any tax imposed by the State and administered by the Department by cryptocurrency."
The language in the Illinois measure - proposed by Representative Michael J. Zalewski and initially submitted on Feb. 15 - largely mirrors the other two proposals, calling for tax officials to accept cryptocurrency and convert the payments to U.S. dollars within a day.
Public records indicate that on March 5, the bill was passed to the Illinois House Revenue and Finance Committee for deliberation.
As with the bill in Georgia, it remains to be seen whether the legislation will attract the kind of interest the idea has garnered in Arizona. CoinDesk previously reported that members of Arizona's Senate passed the bill in a 16-13 vote on Feb. 8. That measure is now being considered by the state House of Representatives.

In our classroom the students and I construct a list of classroom rules together as a classroom community. This way the children take ownership of the rules and are expected to follow them in the classroom. We start by thinking about what each student hopes and dreams for the school year. We then think of rules for our classroom that will help everyone achieve their hopes and dreams.

Commerzbank has today reached an agreement with Ukrainian Smart Group on the sale of its stake of approximately 96 % in Ukraine's Bank Forum. It has been agreed that confidentiality is maintained on contractual details. The transaction is still subject to the approval of the regulatory authorities.
In the second quarter of 2012, the signing of the sale and purchase agreement leads to an extraordinary charge in Commerzbank's profit and loss statement amounting to approximately EUR 86 million which also has to be considered in the equity capital. With the closing of the transaction, the cumulative currency effects amounting to approximately minus EUR 200 million as of today will be reported in the profit and loss statement. The latter does not additionally affect the equity capital of the Bank, since it has already been accounted for as charge against the equity in the currency translation reserve in the past. In total, Commerzbank's profit before tax will be impacted by approximately EUR 286 million by the time of the closing of the transaction.
The charge is not reported in the operating profit but in the profit before tax. Overall, the Bank expects an operating profit of approximately EUR 1 billion for the first six months of 2012, whereof approximately EUR 450 million apply to the second quarter 2012. For the first six months of 2012, the Bank expects a profit before tax of approximately EUR 900 million, thereof approximately EUR 350 million in the second quarter of 2012.
Because of the related reduction of the risk weighted assets, the transaction does not have a significant impact on the Core Tier 1 ratio of Commerzbank. The Core Tier 1 ratio as of the end of March 2012 was 11.3 %. As of the end of June 2012, Commerzbank expects a further strengthened Core Tier 1 ratio of approximately 12 %. Taking into account the tighter capital regulations under Basel 3 which shall be applicable from next year onwards, Commerzbank continues to expect a Core Tier 1 ratio of at least 10 % as of January 1, 2013.
As planned, Commerzbank will publish the detailed financial figures for the first six months of 2012 on August 9, 2012.
Commerzbank acquired the majority stake in Bank Forum in the spring of 2008. The dynamic development of the Ukraine has not come into effect as expected in past years. Commerzbank does not expect a sustainable improvement in the near future. In the course of the ongoing review of its Group strategy, Commerzbank therefore decided to sell its stake in Bank Forum.
In the future, Commerzbank will continue to be represented in the Ukraine with a representative office in Kiev. In corporate customer business the Bank will continue to be a reliable partner to Ukrainian customers with business relations in Germany, as well as to German companies doing business in the Ukraine.
Commerzbank is a leading bank for private and corporate customers in Germany. With the segments Private Customers, Mittelstandsbank, Corporates & Markets, Central & Eastern Europe as well as Asset Based Finance, the Bank offers its customers an attractive product portfolio, and is a strong partner for the export-oriented SME sector in Germany and worldwide. With a future total of some 1,200 branches, Commerzbank has one of the densest networks of branches among German private banks. It has around 60 sites in 52 countries and serves almost 15 million private clients as well as 1 million business and corporate clients worldwide. In 2011, it posted gross revenues of almost EUR 10 billion with 58,160 employees.

Klopp states what he thinks should be done with racist fans
Date published: Friday 12th April 2019 5:20
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has called for anyone who is involved in "disgusting" racist abuse to be banned from football for life.
Chelsea denied three individuals entry to Thursday night's Europa League win at Slavia Prague after they were identified as being involved in a social media video which included a racially abusive chant about Reds forward Mohamed Salah.
Klopp praised the move and stressed football had to act as one in tackling the problem.
"I think it's disgusting. We should not see it as a Chelsea thing or a Liverpool thing, it is another sign that something is going wrong," he said.
"It is still only a few people but the stronger the reaction from all of us the more it will help to avoid things like this in the future.
"These guys, not always, are football fans so if you do something like that you should not be allowed to enter a stadium again in your life.
"All parts of racism are that some people think they are more worthy or valuable than others and that's the biggest misunderstanding in the world out there.
"Football is the best example of how different people, different races can work together brilliantly.
"If you go in each dressing room in the world of football you find them all sitting next to each other, no-one cares who is coming from where and where your parents came from. It is never an issue.
"Because football is very public and we talk a lot about this so I think we pretty much have a strong voice and we have to use that strong voice and say altogether things like this are not allowed to happen again."

On this date in history, 7/15/2012, the 5th installment of the Mayhem Festival made its annual visit to Deer Creek, and my friends and I were part of the metal masses in attendance.
This show featured Slipknot, Slayer, Motörhead, As I Lay Dying, Anthrax, The Devil Wears Prada, Asking Alexandria, Whitechapel, Upon A Burning Body, I The Breather, Dirtfedd, Betraying The Martyrs, Hemlock, and our hometown heroes, the mighty Threat Level.
I am unable to comment on each band, but will do my best to spotlight the bands I enjoyed the most and welcome comments from anyone in attendance who may wish to fill in the blanks and give a review on any of their favorites.
The first band to attract my interest was Upon A Burning Body, but as good as they were, they were absolutely obliterated by Whitechapel, who played a singularly vicious set, raising the brutality bar to the highest echelons of intensity.
Anthrax have long been a favorite of mine, and they appeared to be in fine form on this day, but I was only able to catch 2 or 3 songs before I had to make my way to the stage where my friends in Threat Level were set to detonate the crowd gathered for their crushing performance. The band; comprised of Frank Rapacki on vocals, Troy Welch on guitar, Jason Weaver on bass, and Chad Smith (not THAT Chad Smith) on drums, had won a regional battle of the bands to secure their spot on this show and they made the most of it, impressing the large and boisterous assembly awaiting the band's powerful blend of groove and thrash metal, topped by Rapacki's roaring voice. Some fierce pit action accompanied favorites from their Leading The Vicious and A World Beyond Devastation albums.
After a much needed break following Threat Level's set, I was ready for the trinity of terror comprised of Motörhead, Slayer, and Slipknot. Lemmy and company were a band on my bucket list and they were every bit as wonderful as I expected them to be. Mickey Dee drummed like a man possessed, Phil Campbell provided the guitar carnage, and the immortal Lemmy played the superhuman, jet propulsion bass and rasped out his one of a kind and singularly irreplaceable vocals on a set full of thunderous Motörhead majesty, including "Ace Of Spades", and "Overkill", with its 2 false endings and the furious finale with nothing but truth.
Slayer followed with their diabolical majesty, continuing the onslaught that wouldn't abate until the concert ended. Dave Lombardo was still in the drum throne at this time, and for my money he is the undisputed king of metal drumming. Jeff Hanneman was absent by this time and Gary Holt from the band Exodus did an admirable job of filling some nearly impossible shoes to fill. Kerry King and Tom Araya did what they have always done, with King hammering the riffs with beastly intent and causing sonic disturbances and eardrum lacerations with his punishing leads, and Araya summoning up that VOICE, the mouthpiece for the Slaytanic war ensemble.
A crushing performance it was…and this left the 9, the masked minions of Mayhem, the circus of the damned known as Slipknot to take us to the finish line as only they can. Joey Jordison was the 3rd and final superpowered drummer I had the joy to witness back to back to back in this amazing display of ferocious multi limb dexterity. Corey Taylor added his voice to the hall of fame duo of Lemmy and Araya, and the rest of the Iowa based madmen did what they do, delivering visual thrills and chills and a whole lot of metallic bombast.
This one may not have been the strongest lineup overall, but it definitely was the one with the strongest 1-2-3 punch to end the show of any of the Mayhem Festivals.

Through the use of cookies, the Stephanie Kössel (Hotel Alpenglühn) can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize our website users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website. The website user that uses cookies, e.g. does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online store remembers the articles that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
The website of the Stephanie Kössel (Hotel Alpenglühn) collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, the Stephanie Kössel (Hotel Alpenglühn) does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, the Stephanie Kössel (Hotel Alpenglühn) analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
The data controller shall, at any time, provide information upon request to each data subject as to what personal data are stored about the data subject. In addition, the data controller shall correct or erase personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, insofar as there are no statutory storage obligations. A Data Protection Officer particularly designated in this data protection declaration, as well as the entirety of the controller's employees are available to the data subject in this respect as contact persons.
On the website of the Stephanie Kössel (Hotel Alpenglühn), users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise's newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines what personal data are transmitted, as well as when the newsletter is ordered from the controller.
The Stephanie Kössel (Hotel Alpenglühn) informs its customers and business partners regularly by means of a newsletter about enterprise offers. The enterprise's newsletter may only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter shipping. A confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address registered by a data subject for the first time for newsletter shipping, for legal reasons, in the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to prove whether the owner of the e-mail address as the data subject is authorized to receive the newsletter.
The newsletter of the Stephanie Kössel (Hotel Alpenglühn) contains so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such e-mails, which are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the Stephanie Kössel (Hotel Alpenglühn) may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links in the e-mail were called up by data subjects.
Such personal data collected in the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and analyzed by the controller in order to optimize the shipping of the newsletter, as well as to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. These personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are at any time entitled to revoke the respective separate declaration of consent issued by means of the double-opt-in procedure. After a revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the controller. The Stephanie Kössel (Hotel Alpenglühn) automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.
The website of the Stephanie Kössel (Hotel Alpenglühn) contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.

If you're an audiophile or looking to upgrade your older car or home theater, an amplifier can not only increase the volume of your speakers but improve sound clarity. Before installing an amplifier, be sure to know what both your audio system and speakers can handle in terms of power. Prepare a budget to help manage your expectations and always consult your owner's manual to ensure you keep safety first.
Know your vehicle's capability. Check the owner's manual to find out what your speaker can handle. Understand how much power the current system can handle in terms of its electrical capability capacity.
Be mindful if you drive a smaller car as a smaller amp will be adequate for its system. For example, an amp with 50 watts RMS per channel or smaller can overcome road noises and add clarity. Ensure you use speakers with a top RMS rating of at least 35 watts RMS with amps of this size.
For larger vehicles or for those who just want more volume, look to use an amp with a 75 watts RMS per channel setup. Amps of this size need speakers with a top RMS rating of 50 watts RMS or more.
If you want maximum volume, an amp with 100 watts RMS or more per channel will truly set you apart. Speakers or component sets rated with at least 75 watts RMS each can handle amps of this power.
Choose the class of amplifier. Amplifiers can be organized into a 4-class system based on efficiency, size and cost.
Class A is 25% efficient, which means that for every 100 watts of electricity used, only 25 of those watts go to power your speakers. These amps are considered low-quality and should not be used for cars.
Class A/B amps are 50-60% efficient in their power use. They typically are smaller, use less power, and cost less than Class A designs. Most car audio amplifiers use this class of amps because of their efficiency and compact size.
Class D is known as a switching amplifier that works well for subwoofer use. This class has better efficiency at a smaller size than Class A/B amps. This class of amps is 70-75% efficient in their power use.
Class G/H designs use multiple output voltage levels for a 75-80% efficiency. At a low volume, these amplifiers remain at a low voltage. As you increase the volume, the amp utilizes the second (higher) voltage level, and at the highest volume all voltages combine to maximize your output. These amplifiers are smaller in size with relatively higher power output compared to Class A/B amps.
Choose where you want to place your amp within your car. Your amp should be at least three feet from the receiver to eliminate distortion produced from your vehicle's electrical system.
Don't bolt your amplifier directly to your car's metal chassis as noise problems, like ground loops that hum or buzz, are easily generated. Use rubber grommets around the mounting screws to isolate the case or mount your amp onto a wooden board and attach it to your car.
Keep your amp cool. An amp produces heat, which its heatsink absorbs and radiates, so keep a few inches of air space around it to allow the heat to dissipate. Keep the fins on the heatsink vertical if you're placing your amp on the wall of your car. Never mount an amp upside down, as this won't allow heat to dissipate but rather radiate back into the amp.
Make room on either side of your amp for wiring connections. You also need enough room to adjust controls like gain, crossover, bass boost, etc.
Common places to store your amp are under the seat or in the trunk, as wires can be easily hidden and controls are easily accessed.
Disconnect the negative side of your car's battery. Use a 1/2" wrench to loosen the negative battery clamp and your fingers to remove it from the battery. If it's stuck, use pry bars to pry open the soft lead battery cable end.
Make sure to disconnect the negative side first; if the wrench slips while you're disconnecting the positive side, it can form an arc that will shock you.
Remove jewelry, especially rings. If you are accidentally shocked, the heat produced can melt jewelry into your skin.
Check your owner's manual, but generally, positive is red and negative is black. You should also look for (+) positive and (-) negative signs.
Drill a hole into your car's firewall to run your amplifier's Power Supply Wire through. Create a pilot hole with a power drill and steel bit, then use larger bits to expand the hole into the proper width to fit your wire after a rubber grommet is used. Make sure the hole does not have any sharp burr or it will short to the amp wires. Connect your amp's Power Supply Wire from the positive slot to the corresponding positive terminal on your battery.
To determine which is the positive terminal on your amp, look for red or the positive (+) sign.
Use a rubber grommet so that the wire doesn't rub and chafe as this can cause a fire.
Check the area before drilling as you want to avoid hitting the cables of other components.
Insert a fuse at the battery to protect your car from catching fire as well as another fuse at the amp to protect it in case of a short.
Many cables in wiring kits come with ring terminals. In case you don't have one, crimp it onto the end of the power cable before proceeding.
Make sure that the wire does not have an opportunity to get pinched, kinked or rubbed as you drive.
Ground the amplifier for safety. Use a bolt in your car's metal frame that's as close to your amp as possible. Drill a hole and add a ground screw or bolt if you can't find one but check for your wiring, gas tank, or brake line before drilling. Crimp a ring terminal to the short piece of ground cable.
Scrape away any paint and clean the grounding location of your car's metal frame thoroughly before installing the bolt. Keep this connection tight, clean, and electrically conductive with a lock washer, a star washer, extra screws, or any other grounding technique. Washers are inexpensive and can be purchased at your local hardware store and are also known as O- rings.
Don't use any bolts that are part of your seat belt because this can compromise its integrity and your safety.
Mount your amplifier to the car using self-tapping screws. If these screws don't come with your amp's installation kit, buy them at your local hardware store and simply line up your amplifier, and drill in the screws making sure you have proper clearance for the screws and they do not go into any thing other than the metal body.
Attach the power and signal cables to the amplifier. Neatly trim each wire, placing them in the desired position, and connect them. Make gentle curves with these wires if necessary as sharp bends could pinch. Cut small slits into your vehicle's carpeting so that you can run these wires underneath for a neat and professional aesthetic.
Use an uncoiled wire coat hanger to thread your wire underneath the carpet if you lack the proper tools.
Connect your amp to the rest of your sound system. Run each wire for your door speakers through the grommet to protect them from harsh weather or from getting pinched in the door. Remove your factory speaker wires. Connect the new wires that are connected to your amp directly to each speaker terminal.
It is important that you keep the polarity of your speaker wiring straight by ensuring positive terminals connect with each other and negative ones do the same. This ensures that all the speaker cones have the same type of signal and move in the same direction, creating a balanced sound when played together.
Connect your battery and power up. Turn on your car, then turn on the radio. There's an indicator light on your amp that will tell you if your amp has been initiated.Turn the volume up to an audible level and verify that sound is coming from each speaker and/or subwoofer in your system.
Make sure all amp settings are at a minimum level before turning on your stereo system.
Know what kind of amp you need for your home theater's capability. Depending on your budget and desired sound, your home theater will need an amplifier and preamplifier specific to your needs. An amplifier increases the power available to your speakers while a preamplifier controls everything and needs both an amplifier and speaker to function.
A tube amp uses a vacuum tube where a single ended triode tube amp works well with high efficiency speakers.
FET amp stands for Field Effect Transistor because it uses an electric field. This type of amp is a popular solid state amp.
Class A amps produce almost no distortion with a maximum amount of power.
Class B amps produce some distortion and need to be turned on.
Class AB amps are a combination of Class A and B where a signal switches between a Class A and B circuit.
Choose the type of amplifier configuration. Amplifiers have many different configurations that can be based on the number of speakers, type of speakers, and room configuration.
If you're simply using a pair of speakers, stereo amps are a common choice.
If you have a number of different high powered speakers, monoblock amps can be setup for each.
If your home theater is advanced with five inputs or more, multichannel amps are best.
Organize your equipment. Your equipment will depend on how involved your home theater will be but the basic requirements are the input sources, amplifiers, preamplifiers, and cable connectors.
Input sources are whatever you choose to plug into your speakers including Blu-Ray players, DVD players, and stereos.
Cable connectors should come with input sources but if you need more or need extended lengths, go to your local home theater specialist.
Position your preamplifier within your home theater. Your preamp should be easily accessible with space for both input and output cables.
If you're using a home theater cabinet, make sure there is an opening in the back or remove any covering that can obstruct your cables.
Organize your cables. Depending on how many input sources you have, you may need to label each cable. Keep your cables organized as you connect them to your preamp.
Wrap masking tape near the plug of the connector and label each source.
Ensure that you're using the right cable and are connecting it to the right input plug in the preamp as there can be many plugs.
Ensure that the plug is firmly connected to the slot.
Connect your preamplifier to your amplifier. Connect cables from the output terminals of your preamp to input plugs at the back of your amplifier. Your amplifier will be connected to your speakers via the output terminals.
Do not connect a two channel amp to more than two speakers because it will damage your amp.
Turn on your system. Choose your input source and turn on your amplifier and preamplifier. Never connect your amplifier while the power is on as it will create a power surge and, depending on your volume control, a nasty sound.
While any amp can be used with any preamp, they can also come as a single integrated unit. The difference between a single unit and a 2-piece combination is the flexibility you have when setting up your home theater and the power you can have available to you.
How can I connect my amplifier to a DVD?
It depends on the type of amplifier you have. Most of them can connect to a DVD player through the AUX jack.
How do I connect my monoblock 1 channel to my 4 channel amp so that my speakers can run on the amp and my sub on the mono?
Can I hook up a lifestyle 25 without using the heavy main cord?
How can I hook up an amplifier without a preamplifier?
How do I play 5.1 channel?
Buy the correct size amplifier relative to what your speakers can handle. Too much or too little power will damage your speakers.
Always use sufficient gauge wire for your amplifier's power needs. Consult a professional or research charts online.
Use an amplifier fan if your amplifier is in a small area with no air circulation, as overheating will kill your amp.
Speakers have an OHM rating and you amp is rated to power a certain OHM speaker. Make sure they match.
Always triple check your wiring before powering up for safety reasons.
Overheated circuitry may shut off the amp but damage can be done before the cut-off.
Amps can interfere with your radio's AM/FM reception.
Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for mounting the amp and make sure it's secure. A loose amp in an accident can injure a passenger as it flies through the vehicle.
A difference of five or 10 watts either way won't make any difference in sound as it probably can't even be heard.

Point Blank (1967)
May 25, 2016 6:15 PM - Subscribe
After being double-crossed and left for dead, a mysterious man named Walker single-mindedly tries to retrieve the rather inconsequential sum of money that was stolen from him.
NYTimes: John Boorman, a newcomer who directed this relentless, diabolic account of an escaped convict's hunting down and killing of the rascals who get in his way, has done an amazing job of getting the look and smell of Los Angeles into the texture of his picture and weaving it together in a tangled, cryptic way that is likely to engross the viewer without enlightening or edifying him.
But, holy smokes, what a candid and calculatedly sadistic film it is! What a sheer exercise in creeping menace and crashing violence for their surface shock effects! It evolves on a shadowy social level and develops no considerate moral sense. Mr. Marvin is out to get his money by hitting, cutting with bottles, dumping men off roofs, and shooting them—and he does. He is a thorough antihero, a killer who must kill or be killed.
Inside Out (MoMA Blog): Boorman's film is violent, but it came out a few weeks after Arthur Penn's highly publicized Bonnie and Clyde. Like Penn's film, Boorman's is part of a non-orchestrated, spontaneous movement in Hollywood filmmaking in line with the decade's questioning of American values. The mob guys are essentially successful businessmen, oligarchs of capitalism. Marvin is a morally tainted hero (with perhaps just a bit of Lyndon Johnson, but anticipating the likes of Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew the following year). Point Blank's reckless—but hardly wreckless—mad car-chase sequence helped pave the way for Bullitt and The French Connection. The film also helps to establish the trend toward kinkiness in modern-day American cinema.
Much of the violence seems inexplicable, and the film is structured elliptically, in keeping with the geometric architectural visuals photographed by Philip H. Lathrop, Blake Edwards's favorite cinematographer. Both the violence and kinkiness seem to flow naturally from the persona of Lee Marvin, who would work again for Boorman on Hell in the Pacific, opposite another actor capable of personifying a kind of charming bestiality, Toshiro Mifune. (Boorman made a documentary on Marvin, who had given him his big break, in 1998.) Angie Dickinson rivaled Julie Christie for queen of 1960s sensuality, and John Vernon's psychopath paved the way for a slew of similar roles for Siegel, Eastwood, and others.
Senses of Cinema: Point Blank is loaded with flashes and fragments of the past that define characters physically as much as psychologically, emphasising in particular the rote and repeated nature of the central character's (Lee Marvin's Walker) actions, as well as the "haunted" qualities of his presence and appearances. This character is often left to soak up and respond to environments and surroundings after the core actions have taken place, their physical form and shape bent by the deployment of various optical devices as well as unexplained shifts in mise en scène. In one of the film's most mysterious sequences, Walker is suddenly alone in his wife's house, the interior magically vacated of almost all its furnishings, as well as her recently deceased body (she has taken an overdose). As in many other moments in the film there is a sense of déjà vu, one of many scenes and shots that isolate Marvin within the frame, as his character is jettisoned back into the cell he was condemned to in the film's opening (shot, seemingly fatally, while dividing up the spoils of a heist in the abandoned prison of Alcatraz – the gang's presence there isn't really explained either). The film – particularly in its opening 30 minutes – is full of such startling transitions, helping produce a portrait of a society that is both corporeal and spectral, connected to and alienated by modernity, seen through and quite distanced from Marvin's character.
Slant: If Walker isn't interested in the retribution most men would crave after such a betrayal, Boorman is similarly uninterested in merely replicating the style and tone of prototypical film noir. (After the 1965 British comedy Catch Us if You Can, Point Blank was the director's American film debut.) Influenced by the French New Wave's radical formal innovations, the European ennui of Michelangelo Antonioni's films, and the genre revisionism of Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns, Boorman set out to make a thriller that looked and felt like nothing else before it, using widescreen Panavision cinematography, explosive colors, and a multi-layered soundtrack to re-envision the noir picture as highbrow Euro-art film. Whereas noirs generally boast a shadowy, expressionistic interplay between light and dark, Boorman casts most of his film in brilliant daylight and summery colors. Where noir creates a visual and thematic atmosphere of constriction and imprisonment, Boorman shoots everything in expansive widescreen that posits characters in oppressively open spaces and, when more than one person is on screen, at opposite ends of the frame. And instead of noir's typically convoluted narratives involving plenty of unnecessary exposition, Boorman's film is a model of silent visual storytelling that broke new ground in non-linear cinematic narrative construction.
What makes Point Blank so extraordinary, however, is not its departures from genre conventions, but Boorman's virtuoso use of such unconventional avant-garde stylistics to saturate the proceedings with a classical noir mood of existential torpor and romanticized fatalism. The action is set against (and within) a sunny corporate L.A. landscape characterized by its sterile, overwhelming enormity—situated in the corners of Boorman's off-kilter compositions, a colossal architectural or natural edifice weighing down upon his back (if not literally crowding him off the screen), Walker is denied sanctuary. Through odd camera angles and stylized compositions that position our hero as powerless and adrift amid this malevolent, foreign metropolis, Boorman creates a tone of uneasy dislocation. Los Angeles seems more menacingly inhospitable in sunshine than at night, and this irony plays into the film's dichotomy between the old and new world. Just as classic noir's sinister darkness is replaced in Point Blank by creepy brightness, so has Walker's old-school criminal been replaced by the corporate villains who work their nefarious schemes on behalf of faceless financial entities (Reese has stolen Walker's money as a means of buying his way back into the ominous "The Organization"). For these conglomerates, "Profit is the only principle," and unlike yesteryear's two-bit crook (of which Walker is one), they do business in checks, not cash.
Roger Ebert: There are a few questions you may stumble across in your examination of this plot, and one of them Is phrased nicely by the big shot. "Good Lord, man," he tells Marvin, "do you mean to say you'd bring down this immense organization for a paltry $93,000?" The question is more or less rhetorical, since Marvin has already knocked off most of the board of directors, several hired gunmen and a secretary or two. You'd think the Organization would let him have his $93,000, and good riddance.
Offscreen: On one level, Point Blank can be viewed as a straightforward story about betrayal, vengeance and greed. On closer viewing, however, Point Blank possesses a surreal disorientating dreamlike quality. On another level, Point Blank can be interpreted as the dream of a dying man. A dying dream experienced by Walker, from the moment he is shot by Reece at the beginning of Point Blank and left to die in a dank prison cell at Alcatraz, until the final frame of the film. Point Blank utilizes a dizzying of innovative visual, editing and sound techniques, as well as a fractured and disorientating narrative structure, all of which reinforce the notion of a blurring between dream and reality.

Ah, I do love both the film and the book that was the source material. They are both great in different ways and become entirely separate things (I feel the same way about Blade Runner and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?).
The director's commentary on the DVD is well worth your time.
Also, next time you watch it be sure to track the changing color palette of Park^H^H^H^HWalker's suits. (Ignoring, of course, the question of where he is carrying all the extra clothing.)

This is a great movie to watch as a Double Lee Marvin Feature with 1972's Prime Cut.

There's so much that I love this movie. The colors. The shot framing is creative has hell. The sound design is so fake but so awesome. Angie Dickinson is, well, Angie Dickinson. Carol O'Connor(!) is the villain. And that's just be best hallway in any movie.

Interesting, there have been eight movies made from the "Parker" books by Donald Westlake:
The following actors have portrayed the character: Lee Marvin (as Walker in Point Blank), Michel Constantin (as Georges in Mise a Sac), Anna Karina (as Paula Nelson in Made in U.S.A.), Jim Brown (as McClain in The Split), Robert Duvall (as Earl Macklin in The Outfit), Peter Coyote (as Stone in Slayground), Mel Gibson (as Porter in Payback), and Jason Statham (as Parker in Parker).

We have a monthly cult movie double-bill here in Amsterdam, and a couple of years back Point Blank was paired with Mad Max under the title Vendetta Night (Dutch language link).

In the books, Parker makes this point himself several times at least two of the novels. Westlake was of the opinion that the mob was stupid, set in its ways, and unable to envision any kind of challenge from an individual. To him, not just in The Hunter, but in dozens of other books (not all about Parker), the mob was the embodiment of everything wrong with corporate America. As it happens, the mob is still chasing Parker in a sequel, The Outfit (filmed with Robert Duval in the Parker role), but they don't finally give up until he has cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The photograph was taken in the Alford Railway Museum. Practices are now held at the nearby Heritage Centre in Mart Road, just off Main Road.
The new venue and a new tune!
This is a picture of our first practice in the Heritage Museum (Wed Jan 16, 2008). Holding the music score, centre stage, is our newest member from Aberdeen, the local composer Don McLellan. Don is holding a copy of a new tune he has written....a real cracker of a march called.....The Alford Fiddlers....needless to say we are very proud to have him as a member and to have been honoured with a tune named after us!
Here we are playing at the official opening of the newly refurbished Tullynessle and Forbes Community Hall on Sunday 16th November 2008.
...and a group photograph of the Tullynessle and Forbes Hall Committee and the Alford Fiddlers as Don McLellan presents a framed copy of the new tune he wrote especially for the occasion.
Courtesy of Aberdeenshire Council, this photograph was taken at the recent visit made by HRH The Earl of Wessex to Alford.
The following are short video clips filmed during our first public performance which took place in the Grampian Transport Museum at Alford.

Home > SUMP Glossary > Quality of life
The aim of the SUMP Glossary is to provide a brief explanation of specialist words, terms and abbreviations relating to the subject of sustainable urban mobility planning. The Glossary has been prepared by the CH4LLENGE project and as a result, there is a particular focus on defining terms relating to the four key challenges of plan development studied by the project, namely: participation, cooperation, measure selection and monitoring & evaluation. It is envisaged that, over time, the international community of mobility practitioners will add to the content of the online Glossary and produce versions in different languages.
A simple structure has been followed so that users can search for words, terms and abbreviations in a standard alphabetic format. For each Glossary term, the following information is provided:
•	a general definition and, where available, a specific definition relating to transport and mobility planning;
•	an explanation of why the term is relevant to sustainable urban mobility planning; and
•	references to sources.
The preparation of the Glossary, including the selection of terms and drafting of definitions, has been informed by a review of relevant reports, guidance documents and existing glossaries. The key reference is the European Union "Guidelines - Developing and implementing a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan" prepared for the EC's Intelligent Energy Europe (IEE) programme by Rupprecht Consult (January 2014) and therefore this has not been identified as a source throughout the document. The outputs of the CH4LLENGE project have also provided a principal source of information and the official documents can be found at www.sump-challenges.eu.
Please note that not all the explanatory text is taken directly from the listed sources. The authors have sought to take established definitions and information as the basis and explain these in simple terms and relate them to the context of sustainable urban mobility planning where this was not previously the case.

Definition – Quality of life refers to the general well-being of a person or society, based on a range of criteria such as health and happiness, rather than only wealth.
For policy -makers and practitioners who wish to understand how quality of life can be gauged, a range of indices have been developed, including:
Eurobarometer Quality of Life in Cities Survey: The last survey of 79 European cities was undertaken in 2013 and covered topics including satisfaction with public transport, air quality, noise level, public spaces, green spaces and the fight against climate change.
Happy Planet Index: The index measures the extent to which countries deliver long, happy, sustainable lives for the people that live in them. The index uses global data on life expectancy, experienced well-being and ecological footprint to calculate this. The index ranks countries on how many long and happy lives they produce per unit of environmental input.
Mercer Quality of Living Index: This has been developed for companies with internationally mobile workforces, to enable them to set hardship allowances. Within the category Public Services and Transport, scores are awarded for public transport and traffic congestion.
Relevance to SUMP - In the context of SUMP, quality of life has been expressed as "space for people, better air, less noise, improved health and reduced health cost, ecosystem health, less traffic, less pollution, time and cost savings of sustainable urban mobility solutions" (IEE, 2012). While transport impacts many aspects of quality of life, the comprehensive nature of quality of life assessments means that transport-specific indicators will only make up a small portion of all criteria used. Nevertheless, the development of sector-specific indices such as the Copenhagenize Index, which focuses on cycling, indicates how more complex mobility-related assessments could contribute to overall quality of life assessments in the future. As well as judging the quality of cycling infrastructure, the Copenhagenize index covers indicators of social and cultural progress for cycling, including the gender split of cyclists, perception of safety and social acceptance.

The reason why exactly the smart children understand precisely how to read is undoubtedly they were introduced to reading very early in their age. The correct answer to make your child smarter than others is simply introducing them to reading skill. Children Learning Reading is a type of course that help you to get started.
A plan built to instruct children just how to read early on is Children Learning Reading. The goal of this system is usually to help children in learning precisely how to read quickly as well as fluently. This system is not merely intended for children of any certain age group however also for children spanning different ages.
The foundation for your education and learning method has not yet transformed significantly over the previous 5 thousands of years. We may certainly be educating children from early age group.

We would, consequently, want to validate that it's not a swindle as well as you will get all of the outcomes assured in 10 to 12 months. The truth is, many youngsters can turn their reading abilities within just eight several weeks.
Nevertheless, the final results usually are not constantly standard as well as so it is vital to apply this plan having available thoughts as children learn to read diversely.
Start by training your youngster the main numbers 0 to 9. Then demonstrate to them the figures into your day-to-day globe. Demonstrate to them the numbers in publications, call numbers and also in the media. Don't forget to tend not to train your preschooler almost everything at the same time, however rather make them learn in modest amounts allowing them to understand fully one particular notion before shifting to the next level.
When you are doing in-house education and learning your preschooler, understand that you are certainly not on anyone's routine other than your child's. So, devote the maximum amount of days as you need ensuring there is a strong and also assured understanding in the fundamentals, as a result making sure the prosperity of your preschoolers potential schooling and also generating long-term learning less complicated for these people.
Truly Does Children Learning Reading Guide With Reading?
