Perth Amboy is a city located in the northeast section of Middlesex County, NJ. The city, which is part of the Tri-State Area, has a total population of more than 50,800 residents and a geographic area of 5.96 square miles. A large portion of Perth Amboy is covered by water, which includes a popular waterfront and marina. Perth Amboy is often referred to as the "City by the Bay" because of its proximity to Raritan Bay, a popular recreational fishing spot that is part of Lower New York Bay.
Perth Amboy includes the unincorporated communities of Barber, Eagleswood, and Florida Grove. In addition to featuring the city's historic waterfront, which hosts concerts and events throughout the summer, Perth Amboy is also within driving distance of several golf courses. In fact, Golf Magazine has named Perth Amboy the "Golf Capital of the US" – an odd distinction considering that the city is not actually home to any golf courses. There are a number of seafood restaurants on the Perth Amboy waterfront's redbrick promenade. Additionally, downtown Perth Amboy features numerous dining options, department stores, and other businesses, making it a popular destination for both local residents and visitors to the city.
Several major roads and highways run through Perth Amboy, including New Jersey Route 35 and New Jersey Route 440. The Outerbridge Crossing, a bridge connecting Perth Amboy to Staten Island, carries approximately 100,000 motor vehicles on a daily basis, while the Victory Bridge lies on Route 35 and connects Perth Amboy to Sayreville, NJ.

Liam Feeney has been awarded the PFA Community Champions accolade for Bolton Wanderers during the 2015/16 season.
Feeney, who is currently on loan at fellow Sky Bet Championship outfit Ipswich Town, attended ten community appearances including schools, community groups, hospitals and youth centres with one highlight of the year being when the winger attended PL Kicks at the Castle Hill Young Persons Centre last November.
Two different sessions take place at the Castle Hill Youth Centre, the first of which involves the nationwide Premier League Kicks initiative – a project which works with young people aged between 12 and 18 and aims to offer regular sporting sessions to channel energies into positive activities.
Last year, the Community Trust engaged with more than 750 young people through their Kicks programme with nearly 150 of these being female while nationally, PL Kicks worked with 52,867 young people throughout the duration of 2014.
The second session which took place on the evening was Bolton Wanderers Youth Club which is aimed at young people in the care system and is currently run in partnership with Bolton Council and funded by Children In Need and the BIG Lottery Fund.
Aiming to offer a range of activities and experiences for young people who otherwise may not get the opportunity, this session also works closely with the most vulnerable young people to enhance their confidence, social skills, comfort in group situations and understanding of peer-to-peer relationships.
Speaking following confirmation of his success, Feeney said, "It's a real honour to be given an award like this - as players, we know that it's always so important to give something back to the local community.
Pictured above is club captain Darren Pratley receiving the award on behalf of his teammate from Chief Executive Dean Holdsworth and Head of the Community Trust Phil Mason at the club's final home game of the season against Hull City last weekend.
Echoing Feeney's sentiments, Holdsworth added: "The work of the Community Trust is vital to both the club and community.
"We are proud of the work that is taking place out in the community and the impact it is having on people's lives.

Senate votes to condemn MoveOn, Clinton votes no
Clinton voted against a Senate measure Thursday that condemns MoveOn.org.
WASHINGTON (CNN) - The Senate overwhelmingly voted to formally condemn the liberal organization MoveOn.org Thursday for its recent publication of an ad questioning the credibility of the top commander in Iraq Gen. David Petraeus.
Twenty Democrats joined the Republicans in the 72-25 vote that officially repudiates the group's ad. Sen. Joe Lieberman, an Independent from Connecticut, also voted for the measure, sponsored by Texas Republican John Cornyn. (Related: Bush: MoveOn.org ad on Petraeus 'disgusting')
Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-New York, who has been criticized by several Republican presidential rivals for not formally distancing herself from the organization, voted against the measure.
As for the other 2008 Senate Democratic hopefuls, Chris Dodd of Connecticut voted against the measure while Barack Obama ofIllinois and Joe Biden of Delaware did not vote.
Republican National Committee Chairman Mike Duncan issued a statement highly critical of both Clinton and Obama shortly after the votes were cast.
"Senators Clinton and Obama need to decide whether they're running for America, or running for MoveOn.org," he said. "If Clinton and Obama cannot bring themselves to take a stand against a vicious attack on the man leading our forces in Iraq, why should American voters believe they are capable of demonstrating the leadership we need in a Commander in Chief?"
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney was also highly critical of Clinton, saying in a statement her vote raises questions over whether she would be a "credible commander-in-chief."
"Hillary Clinton had a choice," he said. "She could stand with our troop commander in Iraq, or she could stand with the libelous left wing of her party. She chose the latter.
"The idea that she would be a credible commander-in-chief of our armed forces requires the willing suspension of disbelief," he added, a reference to Clinton's comments to Petraeus at a recent Senate Armed Service Committee hearing in which she said his upbeat assessment of conditions in Iraq required "the willing suspension of disbelief."
Meanwhile, MoveOn.org Executive Director Eli Pariser said of the vote in a statement, "No wonder public approval of Congress is tanking. They're so out of touch with reality that they can find time to condemn an ad but they can't do what most Americans want – vote to end this war."

I am very tired of hearing how people who don't 'repudiate' MoveOn.Org's ad in the NY Times are "EEEEEVIL". Of course, military personnel are generally above average in terms of trustworthiness. But they are not above suspicion. President Bush has repeatedly co-opted such figures (most notably, General Powell) to put forth his agenda.
While I do not believe that Gen. Petraeus lied, per se, I do believe that the pressure of one's CinC, (his direct superior officer, in fact), is immeasurable in the effect it can have on the objectivity of one's evaluation of circumstances. Add to that the fact that the military is in the business of "Getting things done" – not explaining why things can't BE done – and you have a situation where objectivity is nearly impossible. And a situation where that can be – and HAS been – exploited to political gain, irrespective of US Military – or Iraqi civilian – losses.
If the General had returned and said, "We can't DO this, Sir" – Where do you think that would have gotten him???

Ryan, New York, NY
Congrats, America, on reaching a new low, whereby our Congress wastes its time on votes repudiating ad campaigns.
MCD, San Francisco
A circus and a waste of time!!
This admin, The Repugs & The Right have been calling everybody has questioned the war traitors. Have they been sanctioned?!?
STOP WASTING TIME AND GET TO WORK!!
Luis, Miami Florida
The GOP lost their touch with reality... What America in majority wants it's to end this senseless WAR. What an enormous amount of wasted time. PEOPLE – FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION … remember the BILL OF RIGHTS… Mr. Duncan is JOKE!!!
Steve, Columbia, MO
I'm proud of what Move On is doing. They are funded by The People. Congress and the rest of our government has ceased to be "for the people" and no longer chooses to represent us. Someone has to do helps us have a voice!
Bill Charleston SC
This surprises anyone? Of course she voted no. Remember how the Clintons had no respect for the military while Bill was president?
The only comfort I take from a possible Hillary victory in 08 is that our military is professional enough to withstand even her as president. And for those who believe Dave Petraeus is just a Bush yes man, he would also support Hillary if she were president, because that's what soldiers do, they follow the orders of their leaders.
James,Lake City. Florida
Its easy to condemn the public when you don't respect them. If these government people repected US they would have listend to us instead of lied to us. I condemn our government for being full of liars, cheats, and theives.
AJ, Lawton, OK
I totally agree, if Congress has time to vote against an Ad, where is the vote and the outrage when it comes to IRAQ. There is something wrong with Congress and the AMERICAN SYSTEM of government. It's ironic that the democrats are also showing that they have no muscle, they are so scared that they are allowing the Republican's to pulll the punches. Who is running Congress is it the Republican or the Democrats. I think as Americans, we are allowed the freedom of Press and everything else, to say what and print what we want to. If the General is misrepresenting the facts on the grown, then he is, and most American's believe he is. Who do the CONGRESS thinks give money to Move On. ORG it is the American people, we cause we don't have any representation in congress, but we sure have all the taxation.
Jan, Nashua, NH
What a crack-up - the GOP is busy condemning Obama for something he didn't do!
Anyway, good for Dodd and Clinton.
I agree with Moveon. Enough with Congress condemning our right to free speech. Let's end this national nightmare instead.
I wish some of these politicians, Republican or Democrat, would stop saying that we don't support our troops if we don't support Bush's agenda. I am former military and my heart goes out to the military members because I hate seeing our servicemembers misused, as I feel they are being right now. Stop the disgusting war profiteering or send some politicians child over there and they would be home on the next flight.
John Thomas, Edina, MN
Absolutely pathetic! Here's your tax dollars at work, folks–our government voting to "condemn" our first amendment rights. Whether you agree with the ad or not, every one of you should be outraged. This goes against the very core of liberties that this country was founded on–you have the right to agree with the ad or the right to disagree with it, but government should certainly NOT be involved in condemning free speech. The very foundations that this country was founded upon are slowly disintegrating right before our eyes. It's time to wake and take our country back, and the only person that consistently votes to preserver our liberties is Ron Paul.
Moe, NY
Thank you Hillary for standing up for freedom of speech. I may or may not agree with the MoveOn.Org advertisement, but I certainly will fight for their right to express their opinion. As for those individuals/politicans who would deny freedom of speech just because they do not agree with what is being said...I say...MoveOn! (Pun intended).
Tony Nazar, Wilton, ME
Where was Cornyn when the Swift Boat Liars were sliming John Kerry?
Oh wait – they were Texas Republicans like Cornyn and Kerry is a Massachusetts Democrat with the temerity to challange Le Dauphin.
Can we give Texas back to Mexico?
Dean, Baltimore MD
I'm not for Clinton (either of them)but I wish some of these politicians, Republican or Democrat, would stop saying that we don't support our troops if we don't support Bush's agenda. I am former military and my heart goes out to the military members because I hate seeing our servicemembers misused, as I feel they are being right now. Stop the disgusting war profiteering or send some politicians child over there and the troops would be home on the next flight.
j. nulton findlay,ohio
i think this should show the world that the woman will in to turn her back on her husbands sex encounters would think nothing of stealing someones plan to save her time of course so she can take more time to pose for the camera...
Maurice, Washington, DC
Great job Hillary!!! Stick to principles and not false ideology. How is Hillary affiliated to Moveon.org? Moveon.org supports democratic causes but it's not affiliated to any candidate. Why should she apologize or chide someone for saying something she had no part in? Last time I checked our constitution provided for freedom of speech. Most of our civil rights have been taken already under this false pretence of 'patriot act' and whatever is left of it shouldn't be tampered with.
There is a right wing machine out there waiting to take down anyone who gets the democratic nomination and they will do it at all cost and the democrats will need people like Moveon.org to counter act all the false charges the republicans are going to spew. I didn't see the senate vote to condemn those who ran the swift boat attack ads in 2004 against Senator John Kerry. Senator Kerry is a decorated Vietnam war hero and not a draft dodger like President Bush. I am getting tired of this two standards in the republican party.
Great job Hillary!!! You came in and voted and let your voice be heard and you are accountable for your vote. Weak people like Obama and the others didn't show up to vote.
A, Seattle WA
Is the Senate actually spending time debating an ad? What is wrong with this country?
A. Harrison, Atlanta, GA
The truth must hurt.
I think this statement sums the thinking of the majority of Americans. Why put this in an agenda? Hillary was right to vote no because what difference would it make on public opinion of the war or her for that matter. This is just another political ploy to slander the Democratic front runners, and it's so obvious.
While we're at it let's have Texas Republican John Cornyn sponsor a measure regarding the rediculous charges of those Jena kids. Or something a little more meaningful than an ad.
patrick, Portland, or
waste of time, if they do this, they should condemn the swiftboat folks as well. Our government has gone amuck.
jim rice, Charlotte, NC
george bush is an idiot, but he has a right to his opinion. As others have said, however, wasting tax-payers' money by spending time in the Senate voting about a tv commercial is ridiculous. And far more disgusting than a private group spending private dollars to express their opinion.
steve albuquerque
what a waste of time
and the GOP hypocrisy shows no limits
why didn't the senate GOP condemn the swift boat attacks on Kerry in 2004?
or how about the 2002 ads against Max Cleland (a triple amputee Vet) that compared him to Saddam Hussein and Bin laden?
this is merely an attempt by the desperate GOP to deflect attention from the real issues at hand – that the Iraq war is a failure of monstrous preportions and that the GOP voted against rest for our troops
TOMMY ALBQ,NM
GRRRREAT MOVE HRC. I HOPE HRC NEVER SUCCUMB TO THESE HYPOCRITICAL SOBs. THESE GOP IDIOTS WILL GO THE WAY OF THE WHIGS. THEY WILL FOLLOW THE MORON PRESIDENT RIGHT OVER THE PRECIPICE. I CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR NOVEMBER 2008 TO CHEER THEIR DEMISE.
Bea, Hoboken, NJ
Did Congress repudiate the Swiftboat ad back in 2004? I think not!!!
What happened to freedom of speech? Even if the content of the ad were to be deemed offensive, MoveOn had every right to have it printed in any periodical of their choosing. If we start censoring people's rights to freely express their opinions, where do we stop?
David, Gilbert Arizona
MoveOn.org got infinitely more mileage out of their ad than they could have ever possibly imagined. Had politicians made their statements for or against and let the matter drop no one would even be talking about MoveOn.org right now.
For the Senate to take time and cast a vote regarding a newspaper ad is appalling, I don't care what the ad said. Voting on newspaper ads is not why voters elected these people to office. It's a newpaper ad people. Get past it already.
Our education system is underfunded, our bridges are collapsing, and we are mired in what some are calling an idealogic civil war but hey, there's that evil newspaper ad we need to vote on first. The Senate should be ashamed of themselves.
Brian Keefe Orlando, Fl
Here we are, stuck in a pathetic useless war, record debt, rising poverty and foreclosures and a a joke for a Health Care system!!! But, our PUBS, find their biggest "concern" in that of a MoveOn.org add...HELLO!!!!

ตุลาคม 15, 2021 CBNTEAM NP. CBNT, CBNT channel, CBNTchannel, TaihuWorldCultural
With the theme of "Mutual learning among civilizations: Jointly building a community of shared future for mankind", the sixth annual conference of the Taihu World Cultural Forum kicked off on Tuesday in Bengbu City of east China's Anhui Province, where experts and officials from all over the world gathered to share insights and views of civilizations between different cultures.
Wang Chen, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and vice chairperson of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, spoke at the forum that, China's efforts in strengthening dialogues and exchanges among civilizations and promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind fully demonstrate China's firm determination and sincere desire to adhere to the cultural diversity and win-win cooperation.
Wang Chen also advocated that different countries and cultures in the world should adhere to the development principle of mutual respect, and achieving shared growth through discussion and collaboration.
As a high-level international cultural forum initiated by China, the Taihu World Cultural Forum should play a vital role in enhancing world cultural dialogue and exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations, added Wang.
Zheng Shanjie, Secretary of the Anhui Provincial Committee of the CPC made remarks at the forum that Anhui Province has a long history and will be a good envoy of cultural exchanges and play a greater role in promoting dialogue and exchanges among different civilizations.
Nearly 500 delegates from more than 30 countries and regions participated the annual meeting through online and offline forms. Among them, Romano Prodi, former prime minister of Italy and the honorary president of the forum delivered a speech through video.

Pen and paper, thank you!
A few years ago, while undertaking my PhD, I attended a one-hour writing workshop where the main exercise was to write as much as we could, non stop. The topic should be a paper we had been working on or an idea we had in mind. At that stage I had very briefly discussed an idea for a conference paper with a colleague from Brazil. I put my head down, wrote about it, and walked out of the workshop with a very good first draft for that abstract. Back in my office I typed it into word and sent to my colleague. With not much more work, it was done!
I remembered this day because today my computer crashed – Windows 10 updates indeed – and while it run all its downloads, installations, restarts etc, I reworked a paper abstract. Suddenly that paper and pen exercise made it all click.

Graphic design doesn't stand apart from web design. It is integral to it. Our team are chosen because they are creative people who love designing stuff. We are all artists at heart, which is why we love working in the field that we do.
If you are in the market for a new website and have spoken to a few developers without much success, think again. You should have a chat with a team of quirky designers who understand that a website goes beyond the HTML coding. The exciting thing about contemporary digital design are the huge possibilities opened up by new programming languages, something we have enjoyed grasping with both hands. Design codes such as CSS3 allow web artists free reign to create fantastic graphics that are directly integrated with your website. This removes the need to burden your website with cumbersome image files, which play havoc with the website layout on smaller screen sizes and slow down your site's overall load time.
Your online identity is a combination of many things; your colour branding, your logo, the fonts you use and the original graphics you display on your site.
All of these different elements work together to make a powerful impression on your customers and website visitors. Carefully chosen graphic elements give your website a lease of life that can't be achieved through mere coding. Without due attention being paid to each individual design element, the whole feel of your website risks falling flat.

A colleague here at UNC asked me the other day if I could scrape the follower counts of the 500+ congressmen who are on currently on Twitter. Using the Twitter GET API, this was enough. Here are the results, with the outlier of John McCain who leads at well north of a million followers, the distribution looks pretty even.
As of November 25th, 2012, the average congressmen had 16,034 followers. Not too shabby, considering their are just a finite number of twitter followers who have over 10,000, and most of those being celebrities. Below are the top 50 Congressmen, by followers. If you're data inclined, or you'd like to peak at the full list of users (retrieved from CSPANs official Twitter list) download the excel file here>>.


THANK YOU to outgoing officers and welcome to new officers!
Contributions from outgoing members cannot be understated. Please take the time to extend gratitude.
Committee has evaluated the tactics identified in Atlanta for each of three big ideas and are moving on to develop a 12-18 month plan of focused work. We received no new/outstanding comments since November.
For next steps, Missy will compile the agreed upon tactics. Officers will agree to the compiled list. Executive Committee will receive the list, approve, and assign roles/responsibilities for teams and leaders by the end of February. Ultimately, we will communicate what we work on now into the future with Atlanta meeting participants.
Shutdown—NIFA has been affected by the partial shutdown and there is no work taking place.
Move / Relocation Information—NIFA office may move for political reasons. Casey will keep us updated about this.
Listening Sessions—Casey received feedback from listening session coordinator Megan Haidet. Our efforts are being noticed and NICH was applauded for the coordinated effort.
Is the committee able to investigate and explain the discrepancy between NICH and NGA RE: value of consumer hort (see meeting minutes October 30)?
Debbie shared an informative email message on this topic that Missy will include with the meeting notes.
Made progress on the current project which is releasing a second set of infographics for '#PlantsDoThat'. Have submitted text for multiple infographics to Jennifer Gray. Angela Palmer has written a press release for one and prepping two additional. After complete infographic series the team is looking for their next project. May present at ASHS but not sure yet.
oWhere do we update on recruitmentwebsite? Here?
Part of the strategy for internal engagement is to work through the process of getting extension MG state coordinators engaged (from there, county coordinators, faculty and eventually volunteers). Have requested an update on the landing page on NICH website. Request Marketing Committee please create a statement at the top of the landing page to show what happens when people join. We also need this committee and Marketing Committee to determine what happens once someone signs up. Do we give them options? What do we as an executive committee want to do to engage them? Alternatively, do we want to give them some updates and ask for their general support? Community Health Benefits Committee will send regular "Did you Know" messages (every other week) to NICH listserv to support better engagement. The Committee requests an email template for these communications. What does that email say? Ideally, the committee would like all this to go live by end of the month; however, understanding that this may not be possible because of shifts in the Marketing Committee.
Mary Kay doesn't feel ready to task people who sign up on the website. We need more time and discussion about whether people who sign up need individualized messagesresponses. Community Health Benefits group also feels we are not ready to task people who sign up. Current focus is to have regular contact with listserv—support internal engagement. Eventually, Sheri Dorn on the committee will work on external engagement. Executive Committee is very supportive of the bi-weekly communications. Collective agreement we are still in a gleaning phase—want to get people/contacts. They need to hear from us consistently (every other week 'did you know' is a great engagement tool). As we grow, we'll work to tailor communications to the interests and needs of our supporters. In a unification effort. 'Did you know' will be egalitarian—interest to all (environmental, economic, community & health benefits).
Committed to completing this and pushing forward. oUpcoming e-blast content?
Pam, Sylvia and Mary Kay will touch base about this. oDo we have boots on the ground at MANTS? Who?
Mason is there. Lauren from Southern Nursery Association. Great opportunity to recruit people. At least two others from the Commercial Council are also attending. Mason intends to connect with them.
Trade show season is upon us. On last call, discussed how we can combat seasonality. We have products and services we get out year-round; how do we communicate this to our clientele? Going to dive into this further on a future call to brainstorm possible solutions. Mid-February for next call.
On agenda for next call!
Missy will compile tactics and share with officers.
Marketing Committee please create a statement at the top of the NICH landing page to show what happens when people join.
Community Health Benefits and Marketing Committees will discuss what happens once someone signs up to be a part of NICH.
Marketing Committee will create an email template for 'Did you Know' messages.
Mason will share a list of trade publications and editors with the Marketing Committee.
Sylvia will share target list of trade publications with the Marketing Committee.

Hostinec Na Slamníku je bývalá viniční a hospodářská usedlost a výletní hostinec v Praze 6-Bubenči, který stojí na rohu ulic Gotthardská a Wolkerova. Je chráněn jako nemovitá kulturní památka České republiky.

Historie
Již ve středověku zde fungoval hostinec s názvem "Dolejší krčma". Kolem roku 1620 jej držel bubenečský oborník Jan Trnovský; za jeho vlastnictví k němu patřila sousední kovárna, stodola, 7 strychů polí a také Klaudovská zahrada obehnaná zdí. Písemně doložen je také v polovině 17. století, kdy byl v majetku královského oborníka Václava Šány (1624–1668); po skončení třicetileté války je však uváděn jako pustý. V poslední čtvrtině 17. století jej vlastnil Jan Petr rytíř Hubryk z Hennersdorfu, který jej obnovil; v té době k němu náleželo 10 strychů polí a 2 strychy vinice.

Roku 1741 koupil hospodu František Antonín Mahler a s ní i 7 strychů pole, Klaudovskou zahradu a pustou kovárnu. O rok později vše vyplenilo francouzské vojsko při válce o rakouské dědictví. Pobořenou krčmu Mahler prodal Šebertiánu Erhartovi z Malé Strany, který ji skromě obnovil; měla jen světnici a komoru.

Od roku 1766 patřila hospoda Tomáši Baurovi a jeho dědicům. Na polích pěstovali již jen pro vlastní potřebu a další majitel, od roku 1816 Antonín Kratochvíl, sjednal do šenku nájemce. Po vyhoštění nájemce z Bubenče pro hlučné zábavy šenkoval v krčmě syn František Kratochvíl a koncem 19. století Václav Bambásek. V 80. letech 19. století prošel areál přestavbou. V soukromém vlastnictví zůstal do roku 1956.

Název
Jako příměstský podnik měl hostinec zvláštní postavení; byl navštěvován při poutích, korunovacích a dalších slavnostech. Své jméno získal po velikonoční slavnosti pražských krejčí "Slamník". Krejčí střihli z pevného plátna na slamník, tovaryši s učedníky jej ušili a ozdobili pestrobarevnými mašlemi a také na něm vyšili postavy panny a mládence. Slamník byl poté pověšen na břízu, později nošen od Bruské brány do Podbaby, kde byla májka se slamníkem zaražena do země a kolem ní se tancovalo.

Popis
Přízemní budova na nepravidelném půdorysu seskládaného z obdélníku má sedlovou střechu, jejíž jednotlivá křídla jsou završena štíty.

Jednu z fasád člení velká obdélná okna s nadokenní římsou a s klenákem s nárožní bosáží. Nad nízko umístěnou korunní římsou je hladký pás vlysu. Druhá fasáda má okna šestitabulková, s půlkruhovým dvojtabulkovým nadsvětlíkem.

Okna mají profilovanou šambránu s klenákem, který nese nadokenní římsu. Nad vstupem je malý dřevěný portikus s trojúhelným tympanonem. Stěny jsou tvořeny mřížemi z latí. Dochovalo se také několik dekorativních kruhových mřížek - terčů, kryjících větrací otvory.

As a Christian feminist, one of the thorniest topics to weigh in on is the politics of abortion. (I felt an imaginary ulcer coming on just preparing this post.) For starters, it often blows up more bridges than it builds – and exposes the ugliest of trolls. Further, as a pro-life woman who votes pro-choice, I'm sure to alienate someone by putting words to my beliefs. The categories themselves prime us for division.
My biggest "aha" moment of our time together came when Emma lifted up the story of Jesus and the adulterous woman (John 8:1-11) as a provocative example of how Jesus condemns not the actions of the woman but the community leaders who were so quick to judge her. Many women, especially black women, Emma noted off-air, don't even have access to healthy choices when it comes to health and community services. Individual choices are always informed by the political systems that structure such choices; wherever we fall on the political spectrum, we would do well to consider how Jesus calls to account a broken system (and its leaders) rather than shaming the individual who finds herself a part of it.
*For a more philosophical debate on abortion and legislating "the most pragmatic view of the society we live in" see my friend Jonalyn Fincher's recent interview with Emily Heist Moss over at Soulation.
1. Take as many people with you as you can.
3. Make sure you vote for somebody.
4. Seek out trusted friends for advice on who to support.
In John 8:1-11 we just don't see Jesus condemning the community leader, but he addressed her situation squarely telling her, "…go and leave your life of sin." (NIV) and with that he settled the shameful adultery part of the issue. We don't all see the abortion issue through a political filter. It's about life, period.

In the last few years, membrane chromatography has become a helpful tool for downstream process design. Since the early 2000s and the first FDA approval of membrane use in processes (essentially Q membranes for virus removal), suppliers like Pall, 3M, Millipore or Sartorius have been offering an increasing number of products combining different membrane designs and ligand chemistry.
Why should we use membrane chromatography?
Mass transfer: most of the mass transfer is made by convection in a membrane, and it is much more efficient than diffusion mass transfer in traditional resin-bead columns.
Flow rate: it can be increased significantly, without any negative impact on pressure, so the whole process time decreases. The economic benefit of reducing process time is obvious, especially from the manufacturing point of view. Processing faster can also be a technical advantage during some steps, in terms of stability for example.
Dealing with large molecules: there can be some issues with proteins with sizes above 200 kDa. With a conventional medium, diffusion through pores can sometimes be difficult and results in a poor yield or very low dynamic binding capacity. Most membrane chromatography media are macroporous and are more suitable to handle these big proteins.
Where do I use my membrane?
Since the very first membranes came on the market, innovation in membrane chromatography has been particularly fast.
Today, membrane chromatography is a well-established technique for polishing (especially Q membranes dedicated to removing HCP and endotoxin and adding some log reduction value (LRV) to your viral clearance). Suppliers have been working on both ligand chemistry but also membrane design so that we now have a wide range of solutions, suitable for almost all process conditions. For example, product concentration or salt levels are no longer obstacles to membrane chromatography.
For a few years, some suppliers have offered membrane chromatography solutions for capture (e.g. Sartorius for protein A), but the technology does not seem to be mature enough to compete with classic media, especially in terms of capacity, and scale-up is still not fully available. Today, the best capture alternative for protein A column, if needed, seems to be ion-exchange or mixed-mode chromatography.
Another interesting aspect is "charged media", such as 3M Emphaze filters, which are devices combining depth filtration and ion exchange properties and can therefore combine two purification actions in one step. You of course need to remove cells and clarify between USP and DSP, but lowering or eliminating a part of DNA and HCP contaminants before actually starting DSP can be a huge advantage. Even viral clearance efficiency begins to be investigated at this stage.
As always, "the product makes the process", and when you think about your protein purification steps, membrane chromatography is a tool you have to consider. In 15 years, Q membrane has become a gold-standard for the polishing steps, so let's be prepared for the next step, even if it will be another big culture shift for chromatography!

Award winning study identifies Fife as potential hydrogen powerhouse
Award-winning study identifies Fife as potential hydrogen powerhouse
Media library image
Castle and East Sands, St. Andrews, Fife. With its abundant renewables resource and developed energy infrastructure, the East Neuk could become a hub for power-to-hydrogen projects.
Fife's energy infrastructure could make the region an important hub in the development of the UK's hydrogen economy, according to award-winning research by our Energy Futures team.
The East Neuk Power-to-Hydrogen project, which won Cross-Vector Project of the Year at the 2020 Network Awards, found that with its rich renewables resource and extensive electricity and gas networks, the East Neuk could become the ideal base for trials involving power-to-hydrogen: the process of turning electricity into hydrogen through electrolysis. This clean gas can then be used in place of natural gas for zero-carbon heating and transport fuel.
The study, carried out alongside project partners Scottish Power Energy Networks, Artelys and E4Tech, explored the feasibility of producing green gas using excess clean energy, and found that low-cost, low-carbon power could underpin the area's transition to a green energy hub, affording benefits across the whole energy system.
The study also concluded that using renewable energy dedicated to hydrogen production can drive larger scale hydrogen production and deployment, create new capacity and reduce the need for power network upgrades. Analysis found that large-scale offshore renewables deployment off the coast of Fife is limited by the capacity and cost of connection into the area's electricity network. The offshore production of hydrogen could be a cheaper alternative to onshore production, and could support the whole energy system.
Hydrogen produced by renewable energy sources, such as offshore wind, presents an attractive low-carbon alternative for hard-to-decarbonise sectors.
The project's final report, Decarbonising the UK's Gas Network: Realising the Power-to-Hydrogen Opportunity in the East Neuk, also makes a number of recommendations to accelerate the deployment of power-to-hydrogen projects, including changes to the Gas Safety Management Regulations, new subsidies and market frameworks to incentivise hydrogen uptake, and financial support for demonstration projects.
"We need to accelerate low-carbon energy generation significantly if we're to meet the Net Zero emissions targets set by the UK and Scottish Governments," says Angus McIntosh, our Director of Energy Futures. "Green hydrogen produced by renewables presents exciting opportunities for decarbonisation, and as an energy carrier can be stored in multiple ways to be used across applications like transport, heating and industry. Fife's advantageous energy supply and infrastructure present a positive picture, and in the East Neuk we have a tremendous opportunity to develop power-to-hydrogen solutions."
Our pioneering H100 Fife project aims to develop a world-first hydrogen-to-homes heating system using clean offshore wind power in Levenmouth. The Scottish Government has committed £6.9m to the programme in its Programme for Government, and construction could begin as early as 2021 if proposals are approved by energy regulator Ofgem.

Kuolemanlaakso is set to end its long overdue live hiatus, and return on stage in November, 2018. The four-date Intermezzo Infernalis Tour 2018 will kick off from Seinäjoki on November 23rd, and end with a bang at December Doom, Vol. 2 event in Vantaa.
"The name of the tour is an obvious reference to an interlude between two eras. We truly needed the break, but the hunger to get back on stage is evergrowing", states guitarist Laakso.
Band's latest epic Tulijoutsen (2014) debuted at #10 on Finland's Official Album Chart. It was named one of the best albums of its release year in numerous publications, including Soundi, Inferno and Kaaoszine.
Svart Records release a Deluxe CD+DVD reissue of Tulijoutsen in January. It includes the album, a bonus track, Musta aurinko nousee EP, Tulijoutsen – In Memoriam documentary (63 min) and all the band's music videos.

Posted in News on June 7, 2018 by kuolemanlaakso
Kuolemanlaakso will finally end its long live show hiatus. The band will be performing at December Doom Vol. 2, Vernissa, Vantaa, alongside with October Tide, Throes of Dawn, and others. Advance tickets are available at Liveto (15 € + handling).
"We've been inactive since New Year's Eve, 2016, so, as one can imagine, we're hungry, ready and willing to hit the stage again. We never intended the pause to last this long, but hey, we're a doom band; what's the rush? December Doom marks our first ever show in Vantaa, the birthplace of Usva (bass) and I, and we're looking forward to playing at the legendary Vernissa with a killer lineup. It will be a night to remember," promises guitarist Laakso.

>> Order the album <<
"Tulijoutsen and Musta aurinko nousee EP have been sold out for a long time, so instead of just re-printing them, we wanted to give our fans as much value for their money as possible. And what better way to do that than to travel back in time with our listeners sitting in the front seat of the DeLorean?", states Laakso.
The documentary contains footage from the recording sessions of Uljas uusi maailma, Musta aurinko nousee and Tulijoutsen, previously unseen live footage and freshly conducted interviews with all the band members as well as longtime producer V. Santura, the guitarist of Triptykon and Dark Fortress.
The Deluxe Edition also features a 24-page booklet with revamped artwork,
previously unreleased photos and new liner notes.
"This is the definite Tulijoutsen release, a homage to an end of an era. We're proud and privileged to finally unleash it, as it took forever to complete. I'm sure that our fans will appreciate the package, as the documentary reveals a lot of secrets behind the songs as well as new insight to what goes on behind the scenes", Laakso promises.
Tulijoutsen entered Finland's Official Album Chart at #10. It was named one of the best albums of 2014 in numerous magazines in Finland and abroad.
Kuolemanlaakso Set Release Date for "M. Laakso – Vol. 1: The Gothic Tapes"
On August 26th, Kuolemanlaakso are back, unlike you've never heard them before! As the title aptly implies, M. Laakso – Vol. 1: The Gothic Tapes is the first solo album of Kuolemanlaakso mastermind Laakso. It showcases his songwriting catchier and more varied than ever, and it shall be released internationally by Svart Records.
"Kuolemanlaakso started out as my one-man solo project, which quickly escalated into a full-action monster with shows in the biggest clubs and metal festivals around Finland. As our singer Kotamäki will be occupied with Swallow the Sun's touring duties for a long time, I finally had the opportunity to record an actual Kuolemanlaakso solo album," Laakso rejoices.
Compared to the previous Kuolemanlaakso releases, a lot has changed and much has stayed the same. For starters, M. Laakso – Vol. 1: The Gothic Tapes is not a death-doom album. While the trademark heaviness, gloominess, and melancholy are still solidly present, the color palette is vastly wider. The album is a journey through a wide range of emotions steered by nyctophilia: love for the dark. Whereas Uljas uusi maailma (2012), Musta aurinko nousee (EP, 2013) and Tulijoutsen (2014) were compared to acts such as Celtic Frost, My Dying Bride, and Ajattara, one might hear echoes of Sisters of Mercy, Tiamat, Paradise Lost, and Amorphis on this release. What's also different is the language, and using Laakso as the lead vocalist.
"I chose to do these songs in English, as they demanded a more musical language than Finnish. However, Finnish will always remain the only official language of the non-solo Kuolemanlaakso albums," Laakso promises.
The album was recorded, mixed, and mastered at Woodshed Studio, Germany, by V. Santura, with whom Kuolemanlaakso have worked with since the very beginning of their recording career. Santura also acts as a guitarist and backing vocalist of this special lineup, consisting of him and Kuolemanlaakso members Laakso (vocals, guitar, keys), Tiera (drums), and Usva (bass). The album also features guest performances by Mikko Kotamäki (Kuolemanlaakso, Swallow the Sun), Helena Haaparanta (Crimfall, Valo), and Jaani Peuhu (Iconcrash).
Listen to the first single "Roll the Dice with the Devil", featuring Kotamäki and Peuhu on backing vocals.
Kuolemanlaakso's latest album Tulijoutsen debuted at #10 on Finland's Official Album Chart. It made notable appearances on the Album of the Year lists in Finland's leading music publications, including Inferno, Soundi, Imperiumi.net, and Kaaoszine.fi. UK's Soundscape Magazine chose it as the Top #1 Album of 2014.
Svart Records will release M. Laakso – Vol. 1: The Gothic Tapes on red and black vinyl (limited to 200 and 300 pieces), digital download, mini-gatefold CD, and limited-edition artbook CD (500 pieces) on August 26, 2016. The artbook includes an exclusive bonus track and a 24-page booklet with handwritten lyrics, photographic art, and exclusive liner notes for each song, all crafted by Laakso himself.

Kuolemanlaakso Hits the Stage After a Long Break

Kuolemanlaakso to perform at Kuopio RockCock, Laakso pens a book
Posted in News on June 23, 2015 by kuolemanlaakso
Kuolemanlaakso will be headlining the "Puistolava" stage at Kuopio RockCock festival in their hometown on August 1, 2015. The band will play only a very small amount of shows in 2015, this being the first – and possibly the only – one of them. The lineup also includes Accept, Children of Bodom, Sonata Arctica, Leila K, Turmion Kätilöt and numerous others.
"We've never performed at the biggest musical event of Kuolemanlaakso's hometown, so it's an honor for us to have the opportunity to headline the 'Puistolava'. After the event we will start focusing on the Era III of the band, so do not miss out on this rare performance. As John F. Kennedy once said: 'Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future'", hints guitarist Laakso.
The recent years, and especially the first half of 2015, have been busy for Laakso as he penned the official biography of the Finnish metal giants Amorphis for Like Kustannus.
The 400-page hardback will be released in Finland (so far in Finnish only) officially on August 20, 2015, and on July 15, 2015, if you order it from Levykauppa Äx. Book + t-shirt bundles are also available.
