Grassroots Workers' Support Newspaper in London
by Barbara MacLean / Flashpoints / 16 Jul 2017
Workers Wild West is a newspaper written by and for warehouse workers in West London to denounce capitalism and build workers' support in the form of work groups and networks within the workplace. Read the accounts of some of the workers they have interviewed to see how low wages, unsafe working conditions and unpaid, forced overtime is rampant. We're so excited to see a grassroots group like this organizing and building power together – without the bosses or the unions.

So Afraid
Is it a blessing or a curse when edgy artists suddenly go mainstream? On one hand, niche artists who happen to fluke into wide popularity often find themselves either pandering to the masses or flailing around to get their original voice back. On the other hand, the mainstream needs regular infusions of weirdness and irregularity to keep it keeping up. If there's one thing the wider market needs, it's more queer women's voices from diverse backgrounds. Enter Janelle Monae, who's been doing her freak thing out on the edge for a long time, and now she's got one of the biggest and most acclaimed records of the year. The thing with Monae, though, isn't that she got lucky with a fluke groove or – god forbid – sold out her aesthetic to become more appealing. She got wildly popular because the world was ready for her. The public didn't used to take an interest in what a crazy black girl had to say about pushing gender boundaries, same-sex love or being a female artist in a still-very-normative world. Now the tides have changed, and people want to hear as many voices as they can, anything but the same old white-guy angst. The experience of being young, black, gay and creative in a world that is unstable, swiftly-changing and dangerous to differences is suddenly very relevant, and not just to people who've lived that particular experience. It's relevant to anyone who's come to the realization that the pop cultural figures they've been told to relate to are garbage. We've been living in a tyranny of forced empathy, being told from childhood that the most valid, universal and important human experience is the puberty-pain of middle-class white males, and we're fucking sick and bored of it, and we want to learn about other people, and we want to be heard for our own stories. And we want more music and pop culture that reflects that. It's not a matter of the outsiders storming in at the expense of the old classics, it's just the Zeitgeist being ready.

Slow Release
I wasn't there when Neneh Cherry's debut album Raw Like Sushi was a critics' darling in 1989. I wasn't around to question why, instead of becoming an R'n'B sensation, Cherry only made four more albums. As far as I'm concerned, Neneh Cherry is a brand new artist fresh off the boat from Sweden. I only found out about her new record Broken Politics because some critic thought it was one of the year's best. And much to my surprise, it was. It takes a special kind of giftedness to write a sexy slow-jam about deep vein thrombosis, but Cherry does it. (Go ahead look up Deep Vein Thrombosis by Neneh Cherry, I'll wait.) Imagine my surprise to learn that this gifted rising star is a woman of 55 who had her shot at pop stardom in 1989, decided it wasn't for her, and has been quietly honing her chops on her own terms ever since. Obviously, I regret not paying attention sooner.

Slow Don't Kill Me Slow
Franz Ferdinand's Always Ascending was one of my favorite records of 2018. As its name implies, it provided some much-needed uplift. You can't underrate the spirit lifting value of some good, snappy, tight rock songs. Franz Ferdinand long ago proved that they're about as deep as their trouser cuffs are wide. That is, not very. They know their place, and it's making tight snappy rock songs. It is not at all detracting that all of their songs come from the perspective that when you're very handsome and dapper there's nothing in life worth worrying about except the next drink and the next short-term love affair. In fact, it's charming as fuck, because handsome and dapper boys, even when they're approaching middle age, shouldn't have to pretend to be anything deeper than what they are. It worked for Duran Duran.

I just realized that I haven't been doing much to introduce new artists lately. That's partly because of the hassle of updating my playlist format as I change over from iTunes to Spotify. Like, seriously, that shit is tedious. But trust that I have very much been making a big effort to keep up with and take note of new releases and exploring new artists. (This is something that using Spotify gives me a leg up on, so yay for that.) From here on out, I'm going to be more actively filtering more new content in with the old faves. Today, here is someone I discovered last year, and if y'all's public playlists are any indication, a lot of you are in love with her too: Kacey Musgraves. Okay, she's not exactly an unknown off of the street here; she's won a basketful of Grammy awards, and her album was one of 2018's most acclaimed. Still, she's a relative newcomer who didn't break mainstream until recently. I think she represents what I hope is the future of country music, and not just alt-country or roots-country or whatever you want to call it, I'm talking about what they actually play on the radio. That future is young, female, empowered, and progressive. We really, really need this next generation of young artists to wipe away the pandering beer'n'tractors cliches and the stink of unwashed MAGA hats. Mainstream country music has for far too long been a last bastion of glorified toxic masculinity and thinly coded bigotry. We need young artists like Musgraves who can write tuneful songs with mass appeal, minus the redneck posturing, and with something relevant and positive to say.

It's hard to imagine Florence Welch reigning in her flair for drama. She is the queen of making everything epic. However, when she does strip it down, as she did on her last album, it's even more devastating. Because of the sense of just how much held back emotion is still waiting to be set loose. She got very intimate on that last one, with a definite sense that there's plenty more to unveil. I can feel, listening to a relatively low-key confessional song like this one, that it's a tip of an iceberg. There's an underwater archipelago of heartbreak and rage, years of work to be done. That, frankly, feels very inspiring to me, because don't we all feel that way? And the turmoil of Florence, up close and personal and raw, is more epic than tales of faerie queens.

She Works Out Too Much
Remember when MGMT was, like, the next big hot thing? And then it turned out that they were too weird and eccentric to be major mainstream hitmakers, and the press was all like, "where did they go?" Well, they didn't go anywhere very far. They just stayed weird. Little Dark Age is their first record in five years, and an aptly titled one at that. It's not going to recapture the freak popularity of Kids, but nobody is asking for that anyway. It's exactly what you signed up for as an MGMT fan; it's humorous and spacey and catchy, psychedelic pop with a spring in its step. I don't know if it's going to become one of the most remembered records of the year, but certainly it was one of the most welcome upon arrival. It's happy music for unhappy times, and honestly, that's actually a lot to ask for.

This hour-long album is specifically designed to support the OSHO Chakra Sounds meditation. The music supports the energy and activity described in each stage of the meditation, and also signals the timing of each stage. A silent stage is part of most OSHO Active Meditations, and when the meditation ends with silence it will be concluded with a bell or gong.
This meditation uses vocal sounds made during meditation along with music to open and harmonize the chakras while bringing awareness to them. The meditation can bring you into deep, peaceful, inner silence either through making your own vocal sounds or by just listening to and feeling the sounds within you. This meditation can be done at any time.
OSHO Active Meditations combine certain activities like shaking, dancing, jumping, humming and others to lead into silence and meditation. Music is used as a background for all these meditations. A final stage of 15 minutes of silence completes the meditation and a gong signals the end. A complete CD download includes also the silent stage with one of the tracks being mostly silence with a signal at the end – this is part of the experience.
First Stage – 45 minutes – Stand, sit comfortably, or lie down if you prefer. Keep your back straight and your body loose. Breathe into your belly rather than your chest. The sounds should be made with your mouth open and your jaw loose, keeping your mouth open the whole time.
Close your eyes and listen to the music. If you wish start making sounds in the first chakra. You can make a single tone or vary the tone. Let the music guide you; however you can be creative with your own sounds. While listening to the sound of the music or the sounds that you make, feel the sound pulsating in the very center of your chakra, even if it seems to be imagination at first.
Osho has suggested that we can use the imagination in "becoming attuned to something that is already there." So keep doing the meditation even if it feels like you may be imagining the chakras. With awareness your imagination can lead you to an experience of the inner vibration of each center. When the music changes, listen, feel and make sounds in the second chakra. This process is repeated up to the seventh chakra, the sounds becoming higher in pitch each time.
After listening to and making sounds in the seventh chakra, the tones will descend one at a time down through all the chakras. As you hear the tones go down, listen and make sounds in each chakra. Feel the inside of your body becoming hollow like a bamboo flute, allowing the sounds to resonate from the top of your head down to the very base of your trunk.
At the end of the sequence, you will hear a pause before the next sequence starts. This upward and downward movement of sound will be repeated three times for a total of approximately 45 minutes.
Second Stage – 15:15 – After the last sound sequence, sit or lie down in silence with closed eyes. Remain in silence and don't focus on anything in particular. Allow yourself to become aware of and watch whatever is happening within. Be relaxed and remain a witness without judgement.
I would like to buy OSHO Chakra Sounds Meditation.

Wow. I will be turning 42 tomorrow.
Last year was the saddest birthday ever. My now ex-husband and I were fighting like cats and dogs. We were both so unhappy. I had made plans for dinner and dancing atop the Ala Moana Hotel. It used to be called Aaron's but it's now called Signature Steak House. It still has wrap around views of the mountains, the city, and the ocean. When it was Aaron's, it was definitely one of my favorite spots. I frequented it a lot back in the early 2000's. The men were required to have a coat, which is always a nice, classy touch. The food, the drink, the views were absolutely fantastic. But my most favorite thing was that it featured a hot R&B band that played there on the weekends. They did covers of every single R&B song you can imagine from the 60's to the present. It was something kind of wonderful. I am not sure if the band has continued with the new restaurant but when I made reservations last year, I was hoping that it would still be a feature.
With my then husband and I fighting, I cancelled the reservation. There was no point in having dinner together. We could hardly stand to be in the same room much less have a conversation and be romantic. And I was craving the romance, wanting him to fall back in love with me. I had no idea how to fix whatever was happening with us and I sat idle and watched as our relationship came to a grinding halt. This, by far, has been the most challenging year for me and I have been through some really hard ish in my life.
Marriage number two is down the tubes and I am not sure if I will ever be married again. It is nearly a year since he and I parted ways and I miss him immensely. Recent conversations between he and I have crushed my heart and eeked out every last bit of resolve that I have been holding on to. What I have to do to get me through contact with him is to force myself to think that he will never love me again. And I have to be okay with that. I have to convince my heart and my mind that he has rejected me because he has. Even though every cell in my heart wants to run back to him and feel his strong arms around me, feel his gentle kiss upon my lips, I cannot let him just manipulate me whenever it's convenient for him. The new NEENALOVE will not accept that.
I crave love and affection as much as the next person but I just can't bring myself to put my heart out there again for another person to trample. I crave a deep connection with another soul - that is no doubt. And though I may encounter men that set my soul on fire, at this very moment I have NO desire to completely give my heart away. As a dear friend recently told me, I have a paper heart right now. She said I need to keep building it so that it doesn't shred to pieces at the first hint of rejection. One of these days my ex will not have this effect on me and I will be able to converse with him as if we were old friends. Today is not that day and it is taking EVERYTHING in me to NOT beg him to love me again.
So as my 42nd year commences, my focus is entirely on me and what will make me happy again.
I will not be mistreated.

AES encrypt cell(s) in Microsoft Office Excel.
EditByBSEditor: pyEggs is Now able to encrypt Egg contents that are imported using a specialized Python code importer that knows how to import arbitrarily encrypted Python code and data files.
pyEggs compiles all Python scripts contained within a Folder tree into an Egg suitable for uploading to PyPI.
This is a completely automated process that begins with the setup.py which you must supply using the template supplied with this windows executable package.
Once you type in the command line pyEggs handles the rest of the process.
pyEggs is planned to support Cython. Folders that have .pyx files get automatic handling to allow .pyd files to be automatically generated from .pyx files - setup.py and build.cmd files are automatically generated if they are absent at the time the .Egg file is created for any given folder path for an Egg. Cython code must reside in a folder tree with \\\"ext\\\" at the base directly under the parent folder for the Egg. Cython code is place in the same Egg file as the source for the creation of the Egg.
Cython is required to compile the .pyx files however the setup.py and build.cmd files will be created anyway. pyEggs shells-out to the OS to compile Cython extensions. It is assumed a suitabe C Compiler is installed whenever Cython extensions are being compiled however pyEggs cares not whether .pyd files are created from .pyx files only that the work is done through the build.cmd and setup.py files.
The real value in being able to ship encrypted Python code lies in your ability to ship a custom tailored license for each end-user who wants to use your code. Each time someone downloads your product they can be issued a separate KEY they use to unlock your code and run it. The KEY can be tuned to a specific runtime environment such as a Computer Name or a bunch of data collected from the computer that was used to register the product.
it is infeasible to find two different messages with the same hash.
Cryptographic hash functions have many information security applications, notably in digital signatures, message authentication codes , and other forms of authentication. They can also be used as ordinary hash functions, to index data in hash tables, for fingerprinting, to Detect duplicate data or uniquely identify files, and as checksums to detect accidental data corruption. Indeed, in information security contexts, cryptographic hash values are sometimes called fingerprints, checksums, hash codes, hash sums, hash values, or simply hashes, even though all these terms stand for functions with rather different properties and purposes.
Want to be sure that your data has not been altered or damaged, earlier generate a hash code for them and at the right time compare to find out they are identical.

Q: Multiple Entries Return Lowest Data With Lowest Date We had a few spreadsheets get imported multiple times into a database so we now have duplicate data (which of course had primary keys etc been assigned this would not have happed...)
However - the issue at hand is I need a way to return the data associated with the smallest (oldest) date for each PN in the database.  Below is a sample of the data and the structure.  I tried to use Top 1 but I realized there was no rhyme or reason to what SSMS deemed as the 1st entry.
What would a query be for the syntax below to return the oldest date - expected returned results:

Number One 111111   2014-01-01
    Number Two 2222     2014-02-22

Sample DDL ->
  Declare @Test Table (pn varchar(200), ECN int, d1 date)
  Insert Into @Test (pn, ECN, d1) Values
  ('Number One', '111111', '2014-01-01')
  ,('Number One', '111111', '2014-01-31')
  ,('Number One', '111111', '2014-02-14')
  ,('Number Two', '2222', '2014-02-22')
  ,('Number Two', '2222', '2014-02-25')

A: SELECT pn, MIN(d1) AS [oldestDate]
FROM @Test
GROUP BY pn

pn          oldestDate
Number One  2014-01-01
Number Two  2014-02-22

The E-Government Act (Public Law 107-347) passed by the 107th Congress and signed into law by the President in December 2002 recognized the importance of information security to the economic and national security interests of the United States. Title III of the E-Government Act, entitled the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) requires each federal agency to develop, document, and implement an agency-wide program to provide information security for the information and systems that support the operations and assets of the agency, including those provided or managed by another agency, contractor, or other sources.
The Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014 amends the Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002 (FISMA) provides several modifications that modernize Federal security practices to address evolving security concerns. These changes result in less overall reporting, strengthens the use of continuous monitoring in systems, increased focus on the agencies for compliance, and reporting that is more focused on the issues caused by security incidents.
These management responsibilities presume that responsible agency officials understand the risks and other factors that could adversely affect their missions. Moreover, these officials must understand the current status of their security programs and the security controls planned or in place to protect their information and systems in order to make informed judgments and investments that appropriately mitigate risk to an acceptable level. The ultimate objective is to conduct the day-to-day operations of the agency and to accomplish the agency's stated missions with adequate security, or security commensurate with risk, including the magnitude of harm resulting from the unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction of information.
The FISMA publications are developed by NIST in accordance with its statutory responsibilities under the Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA) of 2014, 44 U.S.C. § 3551 et seq., Public Law (P.L.) 113-283. NIST is responsible for developing information security standards and guidelines, including minimum requirements for federal systems, but such standards and guidelines shall not apply to national security systems without the express approval of appropriate federal officials exercising policy authority over such systems. The FISMA publications are consistent with the requirements of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-130.
As a key element of the FISMA Implementation Project, NIST also developed an integrated Risk Management Framework which effectively brings together all of the FISMA-related security standards and guidance to promote the development of comprehensive and balanced information security programs by agencies.
FISMA 2014 required OMB to amend/revise A-130 to eliminate inefficient and wasteful reporting and reflect changes in law and advances in technology. Specific to security and privacy, the updated A-130 emphasizes their roles in the Federal information lifecycle and represents a shift from viewing security and privacy requirements as compliance exercises to crucial elements of a comprehensive, strategic, and continuous risk-based program at Federal agencies.


The state of North Carolina has over 400 nursing facilities that are designed to provide therapy and safe homes for thousands of seniors.
A Concord woman has said that her husband was severely neglected while in the care of a North Carolina nursing facility. Local health officials said that they have this system highly regulated, but they are still receiving constant complaints. Hundreds of pages of inspection records investigating complaints of medical errors, falls and wandering residents.
In May 2010, this woman had brought her husband to a Concord nursing for therapy after he had suffered from a stroke. By August, she had noticed a dramatic weight loss and her husband was complaining of severe throat pain.
By the end of September, she had demanded that her husband be taken to the hospital. At the hospital the doctors found deep bed sores and an infection in his throat. After he had gone through surgery and treatment he passed away in his home in November 2010.
According to Medicare.gov, there are more than 30 facilities within 50 miles of Charlotte ranked "below average" or "much below average" according to health inspections.
After looking through hundreds of pages of state investigation records, Eyewitness News found reports that included several citations of medication errors, a resident found outside with severe hypothermia, and one resident's leg fractured after being dropped by nurses.

A'Ibom At 35: Jonathan Hails Milestone Achievements As Diri, Dankwambo, Others Relish Celebration
By Agency Report On Sep 25, 2022
As Fourteen Persons Bagged Ibom Productivity Order of Merit Award
Former President Ebele Goodluck Jonathan has showered encomiums on Akwa Ibom Governor Udom Emmanuel and other leaders of the state in recognition of their contributions to the milestone achievements recorded by successive administrations since her creation, 35 years ago.
Jonathan, who was Special Guest of Honour, spoke during the State Banquet, organised by the Akwa Ibom State Government on Saturday, 24th September 2022, at the Ibom Icon Hotels and Golf Resorts, Uyo, as part of activities marking the 35th-anniversary celebration of the state.
The former President acknowledged that there were visible improvements in the areas of physical infrastructure and other basic amenities across Local Government Areas, within the period of 35 years.
"I will say that Akwa Ibom State, which was carved out of the old Cross River State is one state that has met the expectations of her people in fulfilling the reasons for her creation. If you have been coming to Akwa Ibom within this period of 35 years, you would agree that people from the state would always thank God for the creation of this state ".
While commending the efforts of the current Governor in laying a solid foundation for future development of the state, Jonathan called on politicians to shun politics of violence and division, and team up with the Governor to ensure that the state continues to remain a centre of positive reference.
"Governor Emmanuel has done very well, therefore the youths can no longer afford to be laid back, and in this election season, I charge the young ones to be vigilant to ensure that their choices are not thwarted," Jonathan added.
Earlier in his remarks, Gov Emmanuel said that his administration has connected with the people at the grassroots through the provision of healthcare facilities and other life-touching projects.
He used the occasion to appreciate former Military President of Nigeria, Rtrd Gen Ibrahim Babaginda, whom he said, yielded to the aspirations of the founding fathers of the state by creating Akwa Ibom State on September 23rd, 1987.
"I want to thank all our past leaders for the great works that they have done in shaping us into where we are today," he said.
While reeling out his scorecard, Gov Emmanuel said his administration would continue to work for the benefit of the people despite the global economic and financial challenges, as he was not given to accepting excuses but results.
The event, which featured the cutting of anniversary cake to celebrate the state at 35th amidst cultural dance by various troupes, also had as its highpoint, the presentation of Ibom Productivity Order of Merit Award to 14 persons, who were adjudged distinguished and trailblazers in their various fields of endeavours, including journalism, entrepreneurship, ICT, and in public service.
Other dignitaries who attended the event included former First Lady of Nigeria, Dame Patience Jonathan; Bayelsa State Governor Douye Diri; former Gombe State Governor Ibrahim Dankwambo; former Benue State Governor Gabriel Suswam; former military administrators of Akwa Ibom State, as well as the Deputy Governor, Mr Moses Ekpo, who proposed the anniversary toast.

Discussion in 'Basses [BG]' started by atl_bassplayer, Nov 18, 2001.
welcome to talkbass . i think ken smith uses cedar as a body wood often, doesn't he? also, isn't rick turner using that on some of his acoustic electric basses?
There are different kinds of cedar, I think, and I'm not sure Spanish cedar is the sam eas what's used for acoustic guitar topps (which is what Rick Turner uses).
Roscoe uses a lot of Spanish cedar for bodies--it's very light and resonant, rather "acoustic" sounding compared to the mahogany or ash. Of the Roscoes I've played, my favorites have almost always been Spanish cedar.
I know Keith Roscoe and Ken Bensebee use it as a body wood, (so it's okay by me!).
Roscoe, who offers it as a standard choice body wood says they use it, "for lighter weight and a more acoustical sound."
I've seen it described as being similar as a tonewood to Honduran mahogany, but because it is a tad lighter in weight, it sounds brighter. Classical guitar makers who have been using it for necks say the same thing.
Bebensee can really make some nice exotic bass huh!?
it's a fretless 5 w/ spanish cedar body/curly maple top. I'd liken the overall tone to mahogany + the brightness that the maple top adds.
Smells nice too. No moths in the studio!
I'm sure he'd share some of his expertise with you, he's very helpful. He shows up in the newsgroups occasionally.
The only basses I've played that used the Spanish Cedar were the Roscoes.As everyone has said this particular wood does have an acoustic warm woody sound.The next Roscoe I get will definitley have that for the body wood,it's one of my most favorite tones.(spoken with backwoods hick "Deliverence" accent)That Ken Bensebee sure is purty!!!

The exhibition, John Makepeace: Enriching the Language of Furniture, at the Collins Gallery in Glasgow, presents a unique insight into a the work of a man who has been designing and making furniture since the days when he studied under a Dorsetshire cabinetmaker, Keith Cooper, in the late 1950s. Later on, Makepeace built his own reputation by establishing a creative community at Farnborough Barn near Banbury, Oxfordshire – a period also notable for the contribution made by his former wife, the designer/weaver, Ann Sutton – before moving to Parnham, an Elizabethan mansion in Dorset.
Here, he established his own residential school for Craftsmanship in Wood in 1977, with ten students as his first enrolment. As Jeremy Myerson has said, it was here that Makepeace "pioneered research into woodland design, manufacture and management" by extending his activities into the neighbouring Hooke Park. This enabled him to examine alternatives for 20th- and 21st-century production, mixing precious materials (including rare woods) with a concern for the least valued timber in the forest. Hooke Park is now an outpost of the Architectural Association in London.
Putting Makepeace into some kind of design classification is very difficult. In the catalogue I wrote for him while he was at Farnborough Barn, I said, "There are very few craftsmen in Britain today making modern, handmade furniture… What makes his work so special is his use of unusual and sometimes exotic materials, his meticulous attention to detail and finish, and his ability to produce both one-off pieces and runs of furniture for larger contracts".
The catalogue illustrated a chest of drawers framed by a black (ebony?) casing that was so simple in its conception that it might have been Japanese; chairs and a glass topped table whose thick metal legs and supports were covered in green leather that made them very sculptural; and a boardroom table and chairs whose form was simple and paired down – suitable, obviously, for a contemporary building. There was also the birch ply tower of drawers that swing out that is part of a series in different forms (a curved rather than rectangular version in the Collins Gallery belongs to the Victoria & Albert Museum, London). This, unquestionably, was 20th-century design and craftsmanship.
However, I also remember being surprised by the furniture made for the centennial of the London store, Liberty's, in 1975 because the table in limed oak has a very heavy, organic form (its base especially) while the knobs on the chair legs and arms make them look as if they were made by a rural craftsman. So, putting Makepeace furniture into a precise classification stylistically is impossible; and, if anything, this has become increasingly so as his career has progressed.
The choice of materials – especially the rarity of some of the woods – and the meticulous attention to detail and execution remain the same, but what is clear is that Makepeace can now think, design and make (using his own craftsmen) while ignoring the pressures of time or money. Indeed, one piece in the exhibition – one of a pair of cabinets in black oak and holly called Zebras that uses marquetry to create its distinctive pattern – costs £90,000, and any buyer must purchase the pair. The cabinet also demonstrates how Makepeace keeps up with the latest technology because a computer was used in its design and laser cutting to perfect the closure of the doors that conceal the cabinet's red interior.
Technical sophistication also applies to the way wood itself is used. For the Trine chair made for an Art Nouveau house in Belgium, "the aim", the catalogue explains, "was to develop a structure where the legs and back were projected off the sculpted seat platform … The seat platform, comprised of alternative layers of yew and bog oak, was curved side-to-side and then reduced in thickness to encourage good posture, reduce weight and reveal the internal structure … This high-performance construction applies to the principles of material science using stainless steel and epoxy resin to achieve performance results".
In another version of this chair, the legs and arms become one, using multiple layers of yew that are both bent and twisted. There are nine connections to the seat and back.
Makepeace not only considers the materials and methods of construction carefully: ergonomics also play an important part in his design. In the fireside desk made in paldao, suede and stainless steel for a lady with several, different interests, there is lateral filing for personal correspondence; a low writing table that rotates over her lap; pivotal trays for paints and brushes; and generous containers for her sewing requirements.
Similarly, the Trilogy desk in cherry, bog oak, stainless steel and bronze was made for a senior executive in the music industry who needed to talk to clients in three time zones. So the three-sided desk has three work positions, each with its own storage. This not only clarifies his work procedures but also provides him with different views as he moves around his "work station".
Finally, expensive as Makepeace furniture is, the exhibition does contain a limited number of tables, chests and stools in burr elm whose prices (the stools) are around £1,000.

If you're a Game of Thrones fan, chances are you're gearing up for this coming Sunday. It is the premiere of the final season of GOT after all, and there's a whole lot to look forward to. As you coordinate where you plan on watching the first episode, I'm sure food and drink have come under question. What will do this monumental occasion justice? Perhaps some White Walker scotch maybe? That's a good start, but I'm looking at something more limited and filled with fire. How about the Mother of All hot sauces?

Guam Solid Waste Authority Rolls Out New Islandwide Curbside Recycling Program
(Guam, October 24, 2013) – Federal Receiver Gershman, Brickner & Bratton, Inc. (GBB) today announced that the Guam Solid Waste Authority (GSWA) will begin delivering recycling carts to its residential customers on Friday, October 25, 2013. After receiving their recycling carts, customers will be able to place all of their paper (magazines, copy paper, newspaper, cardboard, cereal boxes, and other paper), aluminum and metal cans, and plastics 1 & 2 beverage containers in one cart for collection. GSWA will collect carts on either the 1st and 3rd or the 2nd and 4th weeks of the month, on the same day that trash is collected. A brochure on the cart details the collection schedule for each customer.
"GSWA is making recycling easy. Just put the appropriate recyclables in the Recycling Cart, and set the cart out the night before the collection day," said David L. Manning, Receiver Representative. "GSWA customers, on average, dispose of almost 2,400 pounds of trash each year. By placing their paper, plastics, and metal cans in the Recycling Cart, customers can divert up to 50%, or almost 1,200 pounds a year. The more we recycle, the longer the landfill will last and the better our environment will be."
The new curbside recycling service is free to GSWA residential customers.
About GSWA
The GSWA is a public agency. Each week, GSWA employees collect curbside trash from more than 16,000 residential customers and operate residential transfer stations to serve those who do not pay for curbside collection. GSWA also receives trash collected by commercial haulers through the Hauler-only Transfer Station. GSWA handles more than 90,000 tons of material each year, operating recycling programs to divert as much of the material away from the landfill as possible. For more information on GSWA, visit www.guamsolidwasteauthority.com.

View Full Version : Why do Finland's schools get such good results?
In 2006, Finland's pupils scored the highest average results in science and
reading in the whole of the developed world. In the OECD's exams for 15 yearolds, known as PISA, they also came second in maths, beaten only by teenagers in South Korea. This isn't a one-off: in previous PISA tests Finland also came out top. The Finnish philosophy with education is that everyone has something to contribute and those who struggle in certain subjects should not be left behind. A tactic used in virtually every lesson is the provision of an additional teacher who helps those who struggle in a particular
subject. But the pupils are all kept in the same classroom, regardless of their
ability in that particular subject. Finland's Education Minister, Henna Virkkunen is proud of her country's record but her next goal is to target the brightest pupils. ''The Finnish system supports very much those pupils who have learning difficulties but we have to pay more attention also to those pupils who are very talented. Now we have started a pilot project about how
to support those pupils who are very gifted in certain areas.''
According to the OECD, Finnish children spend the fewest number of hours in
the classroom in the developed world. This reflects another important theme
of Finnish education. Primary and secondary schooling is combined, so the pupils don't have to change schools at age 13. They avoid a potentially disruptive transition from one school to another. Recently we did publish an article about unhappiness that the school classes are getting to be too big in
Finland. This makes it difficult for the teachers to devote needed time for a more individual input.
Children in Finland only start main school at age seven. The idea is that before then they learn best when they're playing and by the time they finally get to school they are keen to start learning. Finnish parents obviously claim some credit for the impressive school results. There is a culture of reading with the kids at home and families have regular contact with their children's teachers. Teaching is a prestigious career in Finland. Teachers are highly valued and teaching standards are high. The educational system's success in Finland seems to be part cultural. Pupils study in a relaxed and informal atmosphere. Finland also has low levels of immigration. So when pupils start school the majority have Finnish as their native language,
eliminating an obstacle that other societies often face. The system's success is built on the idea of less can be more. There is an emphasis on relaxed schools, free from political prescriptions. This combination, they believe, means that no child is left behind.
Virkkunen says that more students will be accepted to higher education
institutions based on their high school grades by next year. However, she says Finland's current system of entrance examinations will not be completely abandoned. In March, a ministry working group proposed that the majority of
study berths be granted according to one's high school grades. Virkkunen says changes to entrance exams will be implemented by next year. However, it will take several years before the whole system of entrance exams will be reformed. "After we receive feedback from schools in the next few weeks, we
will have a better idea how to progress and according to what timetable,"
she says. Entrance exams will not be completely done away with. That way
students with poor grades or those who decide to apply to universities
or polytechnics later in life will also have the opportunity to study.

Rebecca Powell, Fort Collins Coloradoan Published 9:58 p.m. MT Oct. 29, 2019 | Updated 6:32 a.m. MT Oct. 30, 2019
Editor's note: The Coloradoan is providing this Northern Colorado weather coverage free for everyone to view as a public service. We can't keep offering this service without support from readers, like you. If you don't already, please subscribe today.
Poudre School District will be on a late start Wednesday, the district reported Tuesday night.
That means school starts two hours late, with bells and buses operating two hours after the normal time. On its inclement weather conditions information page, PSD says road conditions may increase travel time for buses and students may have a longer wait time at bus stops.
Also, morning-only kindergarten and Early Childhood programs are cancelled, while afternoon kindergarten and Early Childhood programs follow normal schedules.
BASE Camp will open at the normal time.
Breakfast will not be served.
Morning classes at the Futures Lab are canceled, as well.
The district cited severe weather and road conditions for its decision.
"Safety is a top priority in PSD, and our intent is to give families, students, and staff additional time to get to school," the district tweeted.
"A two-hour delay also supports the efforts of our partners at the city of Fort Collins, as their teams clear the streets and make them as safe as possible," PSD stated in an email to parents.

Computer Games Development: Design - Level 3Apply Now »
Location: Joseph Wright Centre
This qualification is aimed at 16 to 18-year-old students who are in a full-time Level 3 education programme and who wish to pursue a career in the video games industry by studying the core principles of video game art, game design, animation and digital media.
While centred on video games, the content is suitable for other creative media roles in which gaming techniques are applied more generally, including e-learning, visualisation and product design, visual effects and web design.
This qualification will give you a solid foundation in understanding how the games industry works, provide you with the essential drawing skills required by any games artist, and equip you with 3D art skills and a working understanding of what a games engine is and how it functions.
The qualification could also be taken alongside a Level 3 Maths qualification or an Extended Certificate in Digital Media.
Typically, you will have at least five GCSEs graded A*- C, including English Language and Maths. Alternatively you may have equivalent intermediate qualifications at Merit grade or above, along with GCSE grade 4/C in English Language and Maths.
Importantly, a university application will probably require five GCSEs graded C (4) or above, including both English Language and Maths GCSE at grade 4/C or above.
The units in this qualification will provide the core video game arts, mechanics and animation technical knowledge and skills required for progression towards working as a games artist, games designer or a games animator in the video games sector.
You will cover topics such as:
Digital Games Production
Concept Art or 2D Animation
Games Engine Scripting
3D Environments
Games Testing
Creation and Use of Sound in Media
Plan and Deliver a Pitch for a Media Product
Create a Media Product
Create a Personal Media Profile
You must pass all units and all transferable skill requirements to achieve the qualification.
Performance in all units is graded at Pass, Merit or Distinction.
These unit grades are then converted into points and added together to determine the overall grade for the qualification.
Assessment entails both:
Internal assessment: work is assessed by tutors against grading criteria provided within each unit
External assessment: units are assessed by the examining board using a marks-based scheme
You will need to provide a memory stick and a set of mini-headphones for your studies.
This qualification could also form part of your basis for application to a higher education course (degree, foundation degree, HNC/HND) in a video games related discipline.
Examples of potential career progression opportunities are 2D games artist, concept artist, environment artist, games animator, graphic designer, level designer, technical artist, games designer and games programmer.
This course is run at the Joseph Wright Centre

Helen Clark
Former BTEC student Helen leads Derby innovation showcase
A company director who studied BTEC multimedia at Derby College is spearheading a key event showcasing ideas and innovation in the city. Helen Clark, 32, attended the former Wilmorton site on a two year course when she was just 16. She is now a director with city-based Clark CX, a website conversion rate optimisation consultancy, which was founded by her husband Pete. Helen said Derby College gave her a crucial insight into the workplace and the course was broad-based enough to allow her to choose in which direction she wanted to take her career. After college she took a graphic design degree in Norwich, which led to design roles in Bath, Mansfield and then Derby. Pete separately attended Derby College on an art foundation course, and Helen joined his business two years ago. They are now putting together TEDxDerby 2016 at QUAD on May 21. The event is a forum which will showcase creative and innovative ideas from speakers predominantly based in, or connected, to Derby.
Helen said: "The BTEC course was like an introduction to the real world and how people work in the industry. We covered a wide range from illustration to graphic design and video work, which helped me to decide which field I wanted to go into."

Beware the hidden costs in free trade.
I would agree that the culture of a country or region often comes down to what it produces.
Think of Bordeaux, and many people will think of wine. Think of Milan, and many people will think of fashion. Think of Silicon Valley, and many people will think of software.
BUT think of Made in Australia, and the mentality of many people is to now think "Buy Imports".
Why, because we have been repeatedly told by academics and politicians that imports are best.
Now, we not only have a very minimal manufacturing base, we have minimal culture and identity.
Free trade is good, when it is fair.
It doesn't take too long to realise that fair, free trade is not very common at the moment.
I tend to prefer free trade as it brings so many more opportunities and chances but your example of banana farmers is spot on. Simply looking at the economic benefits of free trade is flawed, unless we all turn into mindless, emotionless automatons. Having said that, I'm not a big fan of subsidies that unfairly favour one group. Tricky positions to balance.
Also, like your idea of a "technofix" - hopefully something will come around. Just looking and comparing the technologies and skills available 200, 100, 50, 25 years ago...optimism is not dead yet.
If Gilbert is, as the blurb says, 'expecting his first child', he is probably not of an age to remember the results of protectionism in Australia during the 60s and 70s. Think unreliable, high-priced, dangerous cars, high-priced, shoddy goods that were difficult to repair, and Australians prevented by law from buying Australian-made goods so they could be sold at a higher price overseas. Return to that situation? No thanks. And, after all, why should I care more for the banana farmers of Queensland -- who are, after all, in a comfortable country with a reasonable unemployment benefit -- than the banana farmers of Sumatra, who presumably need my dollars much more?
Moreover, if the costs of restructuring an industry are genuinely more than the money saved by buying from overseas, then it is the taxpayer, not the consumer, who should subsidise the failing industry, since it is the taxpayer who would otherwise have to foot the bill for restructuring. But I find it hard to believe that a credible case can be made out for propping up dying industries -- at anybody's expense.
It seems that way on the outside but, can we afford any more manufacturing with our population base. We are still coming out of a downturn yet our unemployment is not all that bad at this time. How about that..
"unreliable, high-priced, dangerous cars, high-priced, shoddy goods that were difficult to repair,"
I lived through the 70's, and I can't remember anything of the sort, and I think that this type of statement is a part of propagating a myth.
There are Australian standards that manufactured goods have to abide by, and many of those standards were around in the 1970's.
In fact, there was considerable resistance to buying products from asian countries because they were considered of worse quality than Australian products.
Short of dismantling global capitalism, it seems to me the least conscionable thing we can do is stoop to protectionism again, unless we're prepared to be self-sufficient in all commodities, and not just the ones we specialise in. We should be thinking beyond the selfish notion of what's good for our prosperity and considering the impact, especially on poor trading nations, of protectionism. Apart from the dire impact of tariffs on poor countries, tariffs beget retaliatory tariffs and the only ones who prosper in that scenario are wealthy nations that have the manufacturing base to to starve out the little fish. Indeed this is an old scenario and the genie is out of the bottle. Apart from resource-rich nations like Australia, these days the west would probably suffer more, as the once poor countries are now big fish. So while the author's idea is vested in reigning in rampant consumerism, I think it's naive. One of the benefits of free trade is it forces diplomacy and cooperation, or at least communication, and thus initiates global, if fraught, stability. Free trade is probably largely responsible for comparative world peace of recent decades.
In practice, protectionism is a form of insular nationalism, however commendable the motive. Today, alienating the global community and going it alone would soon provoke resentment and probably invasion.
The free market would indeed probably be (as an inhuman equation) the fairest means of distribution---if it were not bounded (in a closed system). As it is, free trade is bound to get bound-up, that is binded, as the limits to growth are reached, markets shrink and wealth stagnates in rich polyps. At which point the rest of the world, malnourished, degenerates, peacefully or is put down---and perhaps a new feudalism begins.
The dream of reforming the system is pure utopianism; it won't happen, can't happen.
