A sailor's Valentine is known as a form of shell craft, a souvenir, or sentimental gift made using large numbers of seashells. These were originally made between 1830 and 1890, and they were designed to be brought home from a sailor's voyage at sea and given to the sailor's loved one.


Kang Duk-young, chairman and CEO of Korea United Pharm (KUP), has been selected as a world leader in biographical publishing for 2014 edition to join the ranks of 2000 Outstanding Intellectuals of the 21st Century as selected by The International Biographical Centre (IBC) of Cambridge, England, a world leader in biographical publishing.
Founded over forty years ago, IBC is one of three major international Who's Who that have earned an international reputation for unrivaled scope and integrity.
The other two world renown international Who's Who include American Biographical Institute and Marquis Who's Who.
The IBC has thus far published more than 1,000,000 biographies of people of note from all over the world in more than 150 editions of its reference works.
IBC books are housed in libraries, research institutions and private collections all over the world. Entry into its prestigious edition each year is based on merit alone and there is no charge for inclusion.
IBC titles are compiled with the valuable assistance of reputed organizations, societies and individuals from around the world.
As the Oxford English Dictionary defines, an intellectual is a "person possessing a good understanding, an enlightened person.?This principle has been uppermost in the minds of editors of IBC since the 1st edition of the Outstanding Intellectuals series was published.
For a company that started in 1987 with just several pioneering and innovative staff members including Yoon, it's no mean achievement that KUP today commands the largest market capitalization of 150 billion won in the pharma universe with total staff of 650 persons.
Thanks to a strategy that focuses on niche segments such as innovative antineoplastic drugs, antibiotics. lipid-lowering agents and other lifestyle drugs, the company has raced ahead, with its business growing ten-fold between 1987 and now, with revenues of 150 billion won.
When KUP Pharma first started selling its products on a national scale, way back in 1987 as a humble start-up under leadership of Kang who graduated from the Hankuk University of Foreign Studies.
Thanks to a great job done by Kang and his hard-working staff members, KUP has now emerged as the country's leading pharmaceutical company commanding the lion's share of the local market.
Today, KUP has more than 200 kinds of pharmaceuticals with full coverage of product lines and export them to over 30 countries around the world. In order to take chances to grow into a worldwide company.
More recently, KUP established a R&D center about 2 hours away from the main city, Seoul, and acquired KGMP (Korea Good Manufacturing Practices) in 1992. With these new facilities, we have been manufacturing high quality products in categories such as OTC (Over-The-Counter) drugs, ethical drugs, supplemental health foods, and house care products and especially discovering innovative antineoplastic drugs, antibiotics, lipid-lowering agents, and so forth.
Kang is proud of his hardworking employees who always endeavor themselves to offer to customers high quality and value, and even to deliver higher profit margins to the retailer.
"We will not stop striving to improve the quality of life of people around the world and help them enjoy longer, healthier, and more productive lives. We, the professionals, are ready to pursue our dream to become the best health care company in the world," he said.


William Faulkner's 1950 Nobel Prize for Literature, his manuscripts and personal letters will be among the heirlooms that can be viewed on Wednesday at Sotheby's in New York.
The event is aiming to whet the appetites of scholars ahead of a June auction - which is expected to raise $2 million for his family.
William Faulkner's Legion d'Honneur medal presented by France to Faulkner in 1951 and his Nobel handwritten acceptance speech draft are all to be included.
It's an estate package that includes 26 letters and postcards sent by Faulkner, 25 leather-bound columns of the author's work and manuscripts of "The Trapper Story," "Vision in Spring," "Mammy Callie," and "Hog Pawn."
Some items, such as the Nobel medal, had been stored at the University of Mississippi.
Other manuscripts came from the University of Virginia, where Faulkner was writer-in-residence in 1957-58. All the items were on loan, university officials say, and were always property of the family.
There's also a group of letters and postcards he wrote to his family while living in Paris in the 1920s.
Caldwell said the letters include one to his mother in which he warns her he has grown a beard.
"He drew her pictures of how he looked," Caldwell said.
Caldwell said Sotheby's began talks with the family after a previously unpublished and untitled 12-page, short story by Faulkner was found among literary papers at the family farm in Charlottesville, Va., last year.
Another find was an original book of poetry Faulkner wrote and bound for his wife, Estelle. It was published in 1984 from a photocopy.
"We were thrilled. Original Faulkner material is very scarce on the market," Caldwell said.
"This auction is for people who are serious about modern literature. This is not something they are going to see very often ... this much Faulkner material in the same place."
The proceeds from the June 11 auction go to the family. Sotheby's expects the auction to bring in as much as $2 million.
In 2010, an auction of a Faulkner collection of books and personal items, including one of his most acclaimed novels, "Light in August," brought in $833,246. The auction was handled by Christie's in New York.
Les Caplin, who represents the Faulkner estate and the family, said the Sotheby's preview Wednesday night precedes one planned for Paris later where writings for Faulkner's years in France will be exhibited.
"They loved his fiction. He was very popular in France before he became popular here," Caplin said.
"It was Albert Camus who translated Faulkner's `Requiem for a Nun' into French. One of the things we found was the eulogy that Faulkner wrote to Albert Camus when he died."
Caplin said while many items in the collection came from universities, the family expects much of it will return to colleges.
"I think the family is confident much of this is going to end up in scholars' hands," Caplin said.
For many, Faulkner's life and work will forever be entwined with Oxford, Miss.
In September of 1902, just before he turned 5 years old, Faulkner and his family moved to Oxford, so it was where he grew up. He raised his own family there. And it is where he was buried after dying on July 6, 1962, at age 64.
Jay Watson, Howry Professor of Faulkner Studies and Professor of English at the University of Mississippi, said many scholars are hoping the Faulkner papers remain in the public domain, especially those recently discovered and unpublished.
"I think the jury is out on what it is going to mean to scholars. I think there is less talk among scholars about the Nobel Prize than the manuscripts and the hope of getting access to and being published in some form. That will depend on the actual owner of the manuscripts," Watson said.

Corporate Intrigue at America Unearthed
[Editors's note: The following story was based upon a report from a source running a Facebook page who claimed to be familiar with America Unearthed's production and had been relaying reliable information in the past. I spoke with a History official on 4/17 who confirmed that the source was incorrect and the incident described below never happened. Details are here.]
Apparently the H2 network and its parent, History, have decided that America Unearthed is focusing too much on alternative Christianity and Jesus Bloodline conspiracies. According to information provided to me by a source familiar with the production, History had a meeting with show star Scott Wolter on March 28 to discuss his statements about the marriage of Jesus to Mary Magdalene and the alleged Holy Bloodline descendants of Christ's union with her. Some Christians apparently took offense to the claims about Jesus and expressed their displeasure on Facebook and in other forums. According to the source, Wolter apologized for any offensive statements, and no further action was taken.
I tried to contact History to confirm the story, but History directs inquiries to its parent company, A+E Networks. In turn, A+E requires reporters to undergo a registration and approval process that lasts 1-2 weeks before granting a reporter access to contact information for their press department. Well, I tried. They're welcome to send me a statement if they have something to say, or, you know, make it possible for reporters to talk to them.
[Update, 7:07 PM: Now my source claims to be "legally" unable to speak about the event in question, and I have my doubts about what really happened, or if anything actually happened at all. This would be a reason why A+E might want to think about making it easier to get hold of them. Thanks to a helpful reader, I've gotten contact information for the History PR person, and I have an inquiry in to find out their side.]
History's most successful broadcast in years was its telecast of a miniseries based on the Bible, and this has drawn an increased number of Christian viewers to History programming. Additionally, both History and H2 target middle to upper class white male viewers (average household income of $75,000 per year), who tend to be demographically more conservative than the general population, as are those who are interested in history-themed programming.
History's viewers are overwhelmingly male (64% in 2012), while H2's are even more so (67%). Viewers of information-themed programming of all kinds, including news and historical programming, are more conservative as a whole than the general population.
While men are less likely than women to be religious, those who are older than 50 are more heavily religious than the general population (71% of all nonbelievers are younger than 50, according to Pew Research). History tends to attract an older audience, with an average age of 55, a demographic that is again both more conservative and more religious than the general population. At the time that H2 launched its new slate of original programming, its audience skewed even older than History's, though this has likely changed as part of their rebranding effort.
Therefore, it wouldn't surprise me at all if History put a bit of pressure on Wolter and Committee Films to soften their claims about non-traditional Christianity, if only for financial reasons. I note that no one held a meeting to discuss how offensive the show is to logic and reason. Perhaps this is one reason that the scattered bits of information available about season two indicate that the show will be exploring a more diverse range of diffusionist topics, including Native American mysteries and "lost" civilizations.
On the one hand, this at least means more variety, but on the other hand, it also means a lot more work to learn about a wide range of topics to debunk the show's slipshod findings, rather than focusing just on Henry Sinclair and the Jesus Bloodline.
While we're on the topic of corporate intrigue, I'll also pass along this little tidbit sent to me by a concerned reader. As you know, production company Committee Films received a large cash award of more than $100,000 for America Unearthed from Minnesota Film and Television's Snowbate program, which distributes tax dollars to media productions. The chair of the Snowbate Committee, which decides how funds are disbursed, is Heidi Schuster, who works as director of operations for a company called Splice. This company, in turn, is the postproduction partner for Committee Films, providing "design, 3D graphics, online edit, color, sound design and audio mix" for program. Splice has worked with Committee Films since 2009's Holy Grail in America, another Scott Wolter Jesus-Bloodline conspiracy documentary.
According to production documents Committee Films filed with Minnesota Film and Television, America Unearthed paid Splice nearly $10,000 for sound work alone on just the show's pilot episode. Postproduction work in other categories totaled more than $86,000, though I do not know how much went to Splice. Presumably Splice continues to be paid for its work on the series.
I'm not privy to the internal workings of Minnesota Film and Television, and for all I know Schuster could have recused herself from involvement in the decision. But what a small world it is that public tax money goes straight into productions that directly benefit the companies whose representatives distribute the money—and has consistently done so since 2009!
Matt Mc
So, just so I get it right. Wolter gets upset that main stream Scientists do take his theories seriously and claims that they go to great lengths to suppress the truth about the true history of America but it is perfectly acceptable for those who give him money to suppress his theories?
Money talks, bullshit walks.
Good analysis, Jason. I think too many people came to learn late that the bloodline nonsense had a wretchedly fictional basis to it...Dan Brown and before.
I think you have uncovered something here, and it is that many Americans, Christians, don't like the idea of substituting a bloodline for a faith. But other writers besides Wolter fell for the pre-Dan Brown trap set up in France years earlier, before the hoax was uncovered.
If the Hooked X is actually a medieval runic symbol for Christ Himself, one can see how disappointing it can be for Christians to see the Hooked X reduced down to the hook in the X standing for the offspring of Jesus and Mary.
I have mixed feelings about Mr. Wolter and his earlier work. On one hand, he set me forth on a great adventure here in MN with his book, "The Hooked X," but on the other hand I am disappointed by many of his conclusions, especially related to the so-called holy bloodline.
There is another author (Wm Mann) who believes Templar treasure was moved into select locations into the interior of America, along with representatives of the bloodline. I find much of his material facinating, as with Wolter, except for, again, the bloodline nonsense.
I think Committee Films realizes that too many people see through the faked bloodline story now, and that it has become a real drag--besides being an insult to viewing Christians, too.
The statistics you brought forth are interesting, Jason, and I see that I fit right into the History viewership. I always like to be right there where I'm supposed to be! Popcorn, anyone?
I wanted to be certain about the Hooked X information, so I went back to look at the website: www.richardnielsen.org which contains almost unending information about the X and Hooked X symbols/runes, from a Scandinavian perspective.
"Wolter ignored the extensive known Scandinavian record concerning X for
Christ and the hooked Xs (Δ) in Norway. The existence of these symbols
removes any idea that they were a secret code of the Cistercians and the
Knights Templar. They were used by all Christians as a sign for Christ. The
hooked X symbol is likely to stand for "Belonging to Christ."
As I said previously, this is a far cry from the hook in the X representing the offspring of Christ. Goodbye bloodline, as far as being connected to the Kensington Runestone.
But to be fair, I can't see anything that would have prevented the Knights Templar from using the Hooked X, as apparently any number of Christians may have used it.
I recall reading that paper as well but forgot about it until you referred to it. Thanks Gunn!
Christopher Randolph
"many Americans, Christians, don't like the idea of substituting a bloodline for a faith..."
And yet... no doubt you're claiming that Jesus being a descendant of King David would be one of your 300 OT prophecies that Jews have "missed," making them generally wrong.
And yet... you're very taken with the idea that European bloodlines being in North America centuries earlier than we have proof.
Are you sure you have a problem with bloodlines as determinants? It seems you just have a problem with people who aren't interpreting what you think bloodlines as you are and to mean you think.
Did you mean to say "I think you mean to and are you?
Okay, then...exactly! We have agreement!
Cathleen Anderson
So, was that a waste of taxpayer funds? I don't know.
I doubt that anyone will care too much about the fact that Committee Films received the cash. I suspect that the Legislative Auditor's office will want to take a look at that conflict of interest report though.
Ut-Oh
sounds like you've encountered a conspiracy at History, Jason! You have your own "Deep Throat"!
Be on the lookout for Knight Templar assassins. Luckily for you, they're not as stealthy as ninjas; their armor clinks too much so you should be able to hear them coming!
/heeheehee
Charlie Primero
Good conspiracy theory. Thanks man.
Will Ritson
"But what a small world it is that public tax money goes straight into productions that directly benefit the companies whose representatives distribute the money"
Kind of like Solyndra... but one wouldn't expect criticism of much larger public tax funding thieves like that here. That was a good company, with honest funding/motives.
P.S. Might want to hold off on posting more "source" material. You don't want to end up looking like Susan Rice.
terry the censor
Jason, I'm way behind on your posts and I just learned you retracted this one. I would like to comment on that.
I have been thinking for a long time about how science and (sometimes) media outlets retract reports that turn out to be wrong or just unsupportable, yet, fringe sciences seem to be completely unwilling to do that.
Someone should set up a blog, "Fringe Retraction Watch."
Except that Scott Wolter went on the radio last week and described this very incident, though in self-aggrandizing terms. He claimed to have met with the network executives, discussed the religious content of his show, told them he did not intend to offend anyone, and then got their agreement to go forward with "hitting them hard" (the maintstream) with the truth about Jesus. So, in short, History lied to my face. See my blog post for 5/22.
Yes, but my point was about integrity. When you thought you were wrong, you acted to correct the record in a transparent manner. Fringers don't do that, they double-down, for fear of giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

Motsepe ontken dat hy bevoordeel word deur die aankondiging van sy familielid in Parlement, Ramaphosa. Dis net baie toevallig dat daar heelwat ooreenkomste bestaan, en dit het nie "oornag" ontstaan nie. Volgens hom het hulle reeds bestaande kontrakte wat nie net gekanselleer kan word nie – hoe is tenders uitgegee is 'n ander vraag. Weet nie watter kontrakte dit alles is nie. – AREP van sy vrou en Jeff Radebe speel 'n kritieke rol hierdeur. Regdeur is dit ooglopend.
Patrice Motsepe has rejected claims that he will benefit from his brother-in-law President Cyril Ramaphosa's recent decision to unbundle Eskom.
Agreements opening the way for the construction of 27 renewable-energy independent power producer (IPP) projects, with a combined investment value of R56-billion and a combined capacity of 2 300 MW, were finally signed on Wednesday April 4, after a confidence-sapping delay of over two years.
At the signing event in Pretoria Energy Minister Jeff Radebe declared a "new dawn" for renewable energy in South Africa, following a "long period of uncertainty, not only for the renewable-energy industry, but also for private sector investment in the energy sector".
Following the recall of President Jacob Zuma and the appointment of Radebe, by President Cyril Ramaphosa, as the country's newest Energy Minister it was announced that the project agreements, including the PPAs with Eskom, would be signed on March 13. But the Department of Energy (DoE) then voluntarily held back from signing after the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa and Transform RSA approached the courts in a bid to interdict the projects, which the two organisations argued would result in coal-sector job losses.
Billionaire Patrice Motsepe says his company cannot cancel the contracts it has with government due to legal obligations. Motsepe has rejected claims that he'll benefit from his brother-in-law President Cyril Ramaphosa's recent decision to unbundle Eskom.
He said while his company's relationship with government is legal and above board, he concedes the perceptions of favouritism by South Africans are justified. "Even if I didn't have these relatives in government, I have a fundamental duty and obligation not only to be transparent but also ethical and accountable." Motsepe says he's never supported the privatisation of Eskom and will not be part of the sale or disposal of its assets.
African Rainbow Energy and Power said the relationship between its CEO and government puts a greater onus on it to strengthen governance and rules within the company. The company's CEO Brian Dames also said their projects with government are purely business at arm's length.

The Hermitage Museum, the greatest museum in Russia, is one of the most wonderful and beloved sights for the residents and the guests of the city.
The Hermitage Museum ranks with such world famous museums as the British Museum, the National Gallery (London, Great Britain), the Louvre (Paris, France), the Metropolitan Gallery (New York, the USA) and the Prado (Madrid, Spain).
The Hermitage Museum is one of the largest museums in the world. Its expositions take 400 halls and are situated in four museum buildings which - together with the Hermitage Theatre - form one of the most brilliant architectural ensembles in the central part of Saint-Petersburg.
The complex of 5 buildings was being built during the century: from the 2nd half of the 18th century until the middle of the 19th century.
Five buildings of the Museum Complex:
- The Winter Palace (the middle of the 18th century, Rastrelli)
- The Small Hermitage (the 2nd part of the 18th century, Felten, la Moth)
- The Old Hermitage (the 2nd half of the 18th century, Felten)
- The Theatre (the end of the 18th century, Quarenghi)
- The New Hermitage (the beginning of the 19th century, von Klenze).
The Hermitage Museum is unique as the interior and takes the 4th place in the worldin the number of items.
Today there are nearly 3 million of them, including:
- more than 16000 of paintings;
- about 12000 of sculptures;
- about 630000 of engravings and drawings;
- more than 700000 of archeology items;
- about 273000 of applied art items;
- more than 1000000 coins and medals.
The Collections of works of art, gathered together and displayed in the Museum, are widely famous around the world.
The Collections of the Hermitage Museum are divided into 6 departments:
1. Depart of West-European Art - the oldest and the biggest one;
2.The Antiquities Department (Art of Ancient Greece and Rome);
3.Department of History of Primitive Culture;
4.Oriental Department;
5.Department of History of Russian Culture;
6.The Numismatic Department.
In general, the Hermitage Collection was started by Peter the Great himself. The tsar collected art and his collection (especially from Siberia) was transferred into the Museum. It was in the 19th century. It was the collection of goldware from burial mounds.
Peter I also collected sculptures and the most available from them are from Venice (Italy) and Taurida (Spain). All of then were located in the Summer Garden, but in 1777, when a great flood destroyed the fountains and sculptural group of the Summer Garden, the most of them were placed in the Hermitage Museum.
Peter I showed great interest in art and participated in auction sales. The first painting he bought for his private museum was a canvas by Rembrandt "David and Jonaphan", it was the first painting by a great Dutch master came to Russia.
Nevertheless, the birth of the Museum is linked with the name of Catherine the Great. In 1764 she purchased a collection of paintings from a Prussian merchant Gotskovskey: 225 works, created by Dutch and Flemish masters. After Catherine II founded the museum one purchase followed another: in the second half of the 18th century there was enough money at court to buy great collections from Western Europe. The clever diplomacy of Catherine II helped gathering of art items and raised the authority of Russia.
To the end of the 18th century in the Hermitage Museum there was a great collection of Dutch and Flemish art items: it was the beginning of forming Italian Collection (16th - 17th centuries) and French Collection (17th - 18th centuries). Also Spanish, German, English schools were presented with several items.
From the beginning of the 19th century very slowly Hermitage started to gain experience as a real museum. Several apartments were organized and they were ruled by curators. But it still was a museum at court, not a public museum.
The most famous museums in the world (Louvre, Drezden Gallery, Prado, London National Gallery) were opened for the public in the middle of the 19th century. So it was obviously to reorganize the Hermitage as a museum and in 1852 it began to function as a public museum.
At the beginning of the 20th century the Collection was considerably enriched. After the revolution of 1917 many private collections were nationalized. For example, the rich collections of Impressionism, owned by Morozov and Schukin laid a basement of the Hermitage's collection of French Art of the 19th - 20th centuries.

DOMINIC SAVAGE - Romance and racism in Love + Hate
Written by Stephen Applebaum on 05 May 2006 . Posted in filmmaker
"I think a lot of racism is not a deeply held belief. If there's a lot of other people who feel that way, it's easy to feel that way too. So the Adam character in the film, in a way his racism is not deep-seated, because he wouldn't be able to change so readily or quickly; it's because of all the people around him and it's because of those communities. Everyone falls in because it's all part of the gang. I wanted to show that that change was possible. That maybe a lot of people really deeply, deeply feel that, and all it needs is for some emotion to take them over for that change to occur."
What did you discover about racism and mixed relationships making Love + Hate?
"Well, I remember talking to this one guy and he was wrapped up with this Asian girl that he loved and it wasn't anything to do with like her difference or anything, he just loved her as a person. Racism is a weird thing, isn't it? I suppose it's in all of us to a certain extent. There's some condition in us that makes us want to identify with a certain group and to revile other groups. It's a very strange, basic, human thing. I mean there's always going to be these camps of people. "What one wants is a tolerant society that actually respects those differences and the trouble is there's not enough of that. It's like there is this kind of order where people want to be better than other people. It's human nature, isn't it?"
We're a competitive species.
"Exactly. But I think the worst aspect is when that competitiveness becomes extreme because that's when everything goes really wrong. So this was a kind of attempt to just show in detail the lives of four young people and to try and explore as many different things that happen. It's not the whole story, these are slices of life."
What part did September 11 play in your decision to tackle this issue now?
"It didn't, I don't think. The idea for this film came very much when I was doing 'When I was 12', in Burnley, a film I made ages ago. You know, just being in that town I was aware of those divisions and I was really interested by that. I suppose I do love films like West Side Story and I do think they're classic dilemmas. I knew I wanted to make that film. I knew I wanted to make it for ages. I think a lot of things you do are ideas and passions that you've had for years, really. It's always the right time to make them, you know?"
How welcoming were the Asian community? Were they open to discussing these issues?
"Well there's many people that don't want to expose them. The Muslim community has a very particular attitude to their girls. There's the arranged marriage thing. It's very dishonourable if they go out with anyone they don't approve of, and all that stuff. But it happens, that's the truth. It happens all the time. So there's a new generation of people in the Asian community who are positive for change and positive for integration, and there are people that actually don't want it at all, they want that separation. So, you know, I think there will be Asian people that watch it and enjoy the fact it's playing with these ideas, and people that wouldn't even come and see it because they find it offensive, a young girl even talking to a white boy."
Was it difficult, though, finding people in the Asian community who would talk to you?
"It was really quite difficult. They didn't mind talking about it. They didn't want to be seen talking about it. Because, again, there's so much pressure within those communities to not misbehave or not be different or not stand out. If you want to then you have to leave the community."
Have you experienced something similar in a social grouping?
"Well, if I just think about my own teenage years, like going out with a girl, there's always a problem with parents. The girl I went out with, I remember at the time, there was no problem of race or religion or anything of that kind, she was the same background as me, but there was still disapproving of it. So, in a way, I think that's a problem for everyone, isn't it? [Laughs] To please our parents with who we go out with is impossible, really."
I've got a daughter and I'm going to make it as hard as I can for her.
"[Laughs] No-one's going to be good enough are they? That's the truth. So it's a problem that faces a lot of young people. It's a difficult problem to get right. So that's where it started for me, from my personal experience. But, for a drama, you want to up the stakes, up all the kind of conditions of it. Actually that's what the film does: it shows those similar kinds of difficulties but on a more dramatic, more conflicting stage."
You're a social realist like Ken Loach. Has he been an influence on you?
"Er, I really like his stuff. I think his films have lots of heart and integrity, and he does tackle social issue, doesn't he? But I find, stylistically, he doesn't change, he's got his way of doing it and it stays the same each time. If you like it you like it and it's satisfying. As a filmmaker I certainly want to keep changing what I do and try to do new things and different things, and be more ambitious sometimes.
"I think trying to draw bigger audiences to films about social issues is the aim. People don't necessarily want to be challenged when they go to the cinema. They kind of want to have a good time and maybe to be moved and to laugh. So I think it is a difficulty and there are certain people who will always go and see a Ken Loach film and people who will never go and see it. So I'd like to make films that appeal to a broader audience."
Do you regard yourself as a political filmmaker?
"I don't. I'm just into human social issues. I think the politics is there but it comes through by dint of that you're doing something that is political, ultimately. You could argue that every film is political, but I suppose these are because they're dealing with big human issues. But Ken is. He's very much got a political agenda. That's what I find a bit, you know, preachy. I feel that he's trying to convert his audience a little bit."
Do you think movies can change the kinds of cultural problems outlined in the film?
"I think it has the power to open the discussion, doesn't it? But I think some people are living in a bubble really, and they don't necessarily want to open themselves up. I genuinely think that people who have an issue with seeing a Muslim girl with a white boy just wouldn't go and see the film. They wouldn't even give it the chance. "There was an example in Birmingham of a play [Behzti] that challenged the sort of Sikh community. None of them had seen it but the word spread that this was defamatory to the Sikh religion, because it was all set in a Sikh temple, and of course the truth of it was it was a challenging play, yes, but what they'd assumed was it was just an insult, and it wasn't. But they kind of completely made sure the play didn't take place. They rioted outside the theatre. It's not like they went to see it first, they just objected. So those kinds of people will not watch this."
Your films are all set in a working class milieu. Is that where you feel the most interesting stories take place?
"I think so, yeah. I think that's where the more struggles are and where there's struggle there's interest, isn't there? You know, when I see films about wealthy people there's something about that that distances me, and I'm not even that curious, particularly, because there's always the argument, 'Well, you should know better if you've got money.' You know what I mean? [Laughs] Not that I have a problem with wealthy people or anything. I just don't like all these costume things, costume dramas; I'm not interested in the lifestyles of the rich and whatever."
The compassion in your works is admirable. What in your background do you think helped you most in terms of relating to the people you make films about?
"I don't know, really. I suppose it's probably because I've always felt slightly outside the system in many ways. I always felt like an outsider. I've never felt comfortable being a part of anything. So maybe I feel like the underdog. That's got to be what it is. I suppose my upbringing, in a way I've always felt a bit classless. My father was a musician-entertainer. We grew up in Margate, it was very ordinary, but I always felt slightly excluded from things. I don't know why. So I think it's that compassion. I've never really analysed it too much because once you start doing that . . . I've never had a scheme [laughs]. I am what I am and I just do what I do."
And you do it very well.
"Thank you. I'm very pleased you like it because I'm about to make a new film and it's at that stage where you start questioning everything you do or the way you're going to approach it and you get nervous. Nervousness is good as well when you make films."
Is this the film to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Cathy Come Home?
"Indeed it is. That's how it started. It started as a film about homelessness today, on the 40th anniversary of Cathy Come Home, but it's changed into more of a film about social inequality and more the fact that there are incredibly wealthy people living side-by-side with incredibly poor people, and of course it then also reflects the state of homelessness today in terms of the fact that a lot of people are living in temporary accommodation for two, three, four, five years without a proper home. It's all set in London and it's all about the kind of huge, huge gap between the rich and the poor, and those different lifestyles that clash."
Would you say that's the biggest difference since Loach made his film, the inequality?
"Well, I think the system is trying to help people much more. That was shocking, I suppose, because it was about how the system failed them and how they slipped between all kinds of nets. That still exists but I think there's more care in place. But it doesn't take away from the fact that there isn't enough places to house people. There's not enough homes for people. And it isn't right that people should be on waiting lists for years and years, and people aren't effectively housed. Living in hostels and stuff is not home. So that's the difference, I think. But also social inequality has never been as extreme as it is at the moment; the huge wealth of some people, and the fact that there are still people living in poverty."
Colin Firth and Ann-Marie Duff are in it, I believe.
"Yes, it's a move on for me in many ways in that I'm not so much working with first timers. It's much more experienced actors now. There will be some discoveries, but mostly established actors. So it's exciting. And they've bought up for the process that I make films with. The whole improvised approach, they're really interested in that. So it's going to be made in the same way, but they're going to have un-learn all their acting."
Yes, you told me last year that your next big challenge was to make a film with established actors and bring them into your way of working. Is that going to be difficult for someone who is as well known as, say, Colin Firth?
"Definitely. It's going to be harder in many ways but we're going to work on the premise that they're going to work on their personal experiences and life experience - and they'll have to, because it's improvised. That's the difference, I think. The people I've cast, it's not just because they're those names. It's also because they're prepared to do that. Many stars aren't, I don't think, but many of them have again got a connection with the role they're playing – an emotional and experience connection – so that's really interesting again. Hopefully we'll be able to draw on those life experiences."
Does the new film have a title?
"The working title is London - it's all set in London – but we'll probably change it."
Do you think a film now could have the same impact as Cathy Come Home?
"I don't. It won't have it in the same way. I think what I'm looking for is an impact that just engages people in issues of society. Hopefully I'm going to try and make a film that talks about what society is today, and all the kind of dilemmas that society's facing, and try and encapsulate that in a film. So I'm hoping to be ambitious. But it is about difference and how we're all same, really. In the film all these different kinds of levels of people collide, and it's about what happens when they do. So hopefully it will be a provocative film, but I can't say it will provoke the set up of a new charity [laughs] or anything like that. I can't promise that but there's hope. There's hope [laughs]."
You appeared in Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon as a child actor. How has that experience influenced the way you work with young, non-professionals in your films?
"First I have to say that what I find really weird is that my whole career started with Stanley Kubrick and, of course, it's not ending with it. He was my idol, and I knew him, which was fantastic. But it's great to aspire to that level of creative freedom and that level of originality. It's very difficult to be that original now, in a way, but he was an innovator. I think acting, having a camera point on you, it's good to have gone through that, and to understand what directors did to bring the best out of you, and what they did to bring the worst out of you. So I think that's absolutely key that you do that. Some directors are really good at not doing that, do you know what I mean?"
Woody Allen says very little to his actors and I've read that you talk to yours a lot.
"Yeah, it becomes a big relationship thing, really. We become very close during that period and afterwards. We're still in touch. I think you stay with people like that for many years."
And most of the dialogue's improvised, isn't it?
"Yeah, that's right. It's made up very much on the day. That's another thing, Stanley was very tight with what he did, it was all very organised. But actually a lot of his scenes he would break up and improvise as well, but he would just do it differently because he would then write that improv down."
Would you direct any of the unmade Kubrick projects that are lying around?
"No, I wouldn't. I really wouldn't. I would feel like it's stepping into his shoes. I wouldn't presume, ever. I think in a way I want to carry-on on the path I'm on, to make films in this style. I hope this film, if nothing else, gives me the power to carry on making films in this style and developing them and being more ambitious with them."

First Ecuadorian Satellite will Help Monitoring Near-Earth Objects from Orbit
Posted on 26 April 2012 by Jay Tate
Today the Ecuadorian Civilian Space Agency – EXA announced that it will be adding a mission to the first Ecuadorian satelllite, the NEE-01 PEGASUS. It will help monitoring near-earth objects from orbit using its onboard video camera and will also help in the catalog and control of orbital debris (space junk).
This new mission will turn the NEE-01 in to the first online, real time orbital video sentry for the planet, as the satellite has the capability to stream its video signal directly to the Internet.
The NEE-01 PEGASUS was built by the EXA and presented to the public on April 4, 2011, the satellite has a mass of 1.2kg and it is 75cm long, it was completely designed and built in the country with national personnel and equipment and it will perform several missions in the technical and scientific fields as well as an educational role, all this missions will serve the national technological development in the aerospace field. The satellite will be launched on board a Russian Dnepr RS20 launch vehicle operated by KOSMOTRAS from the Yasny cosmodrome on September 29 this year.
Following a change in the video camera's technology, the satellite now has a wider field of view, an HD resolution of 720p and deep sensisibility in the IR field of 1x10E-4 lux, which makes it very suitable for this kind of job: To detect medium to small sized near-earth objects, like very small asteroids which are normally very difficult to detect but have enough mass to pose a threath to populated areas, like the one which exploded over California early this week. Also its eliptical orbit, between 600 to 900km, gives the satellite a good vantage point to detect orbital motion changes in known orbital debris.
This video observations, which are much better suited for this task than the still pictures, coupled with advanced software and orbital determination techniques will give researchers around the world an unprecedent view from orbit of dangerous objects that can threaten human spaceflight and populated areas on the ground.
The EXA will open the video signal of the satellite to any organization that is actually working on this field, conducting research on it, or that has an active NEO (Near-Earth Object) monitoring program, It will also start a program to encourage individuals around the world to form a independent network of civilian space sentries that will analize the videos transmitted by the satellite, searching for unusual signatures or changes in the orbital motion of know objects
The satellite's primary mission is to test the basic and key technologies that will allow the EXA to build bigger and more powerful spacecrafts in the future and the secondary mission is to serve as an space platform for elementary education: The satellite will send two signals that will be received and decoded by the EXA's HERMES-A ground station in Guayaquil and then uploaded live to the Internet using Twitter and Facebook; the first signal will contain text book questions and the second will contain an image related to the question. If the students are able to answer the question correctly they will be granted access to the video camera onboard the spacecraft and will be able to see earth from space as the astronauts see it in their space missions.
More advanced students will have access to the pure radio signal so they can try decoding it by themselves. The EXA will provide them with the appropriate support software free of charge.

Buckden Towers, tidligere Buckden Palace, er en befæstet herregård på hovedgaden i Buckden i Cambridgeshire i England.

Bygningen blev opført i 1400-tallet, hvor der i 1100-tallet lå en træbygning. Optegnelser viser, at biskoppen af Lincoln brugte det. Træbygningen blev erstattet af kraftigere bygninger i sten, og der blev tilføjet et højt murstenstårn i 1475, der blev beskyttet af mure og en voldgrav, som blev omgivet af en ydre borggård. Dele af komplekset blev nedrevet i 1832 på ordre fra Ecclesiastical Commissioners. Det victorianske hus på stedet blev opført i 1872.

e-Bulletin for Parents - 18 November 2022
Final Call for Parents' Talks on "Choices of Secondary Schools"
The Education Bureau (EDB) will hold five Secondary School Places Allocation (SSPA) parents' talks in Cantonese starting from 5 December 2022. Admission is free. The guest speakers will share with the audience the importance of home-school cooperation, and tips on choosing a suitable school in the first part, while the representatives from the EDB School Places Allocation Section will explain the mechanism and procedure of the SSPA 2021/2023 in the second part.
Interested parents are welcome to register via the EDB's Online Registration System. A limited number of seats of some events are still available on a first-come, first-served basis.
The details of the talks are as follows:
For more information, please visit the EDB Parents' Talk webpage (Chinese version only).
EDB Parents' Talk webpage
Results of Primary One discretionary places to be released on November 21
The results of Primary One discretionary places for September 2023 will be released on Monday (November 21) by all government and aided primary schools.
Parents are reminded to bring the parent's copy of the Application Form for Primary One Admission and check the results of their application between 9am and 5pm on Monday (November 21) at the school to which they have applied. In light of the COVID-19 epidemic, if parents cannot visit school to which they have applied in person, they may check the results on the school website or contact the school by phone.
Parents whose children have been offered a Primary One discretionary place are advised to note carefully the registration arrangements of concerned schools and the documents required for registration, such as the parent's copy of the Application Form for Primary One Admission and the specified number of photographs of children, as well as the measures of maintaining social distancing and related infection control measures of individual schools. Registration of successful applicant children should be made on Wednesday (November 23) or Thursday (November 24) during school hours according to the arrangements of individual schools. Parents should also note that as the "Vaccine Pass" arrangement has been implemented in schools, except for exempted persons or persons participating in school activities as students (for example, attending admission interviews), all visitors aged 5 or above have to present their vaccination record and use the "LeaveHomeSafe" mobile application to scan the venue QR code before they are allowed to enter school premises. Persons with a Red Code or an Amber Code are not allowed to enter school premises of visitors. Parents who cannot register their child with the school within the specified period and time should notify the person-in-charge of registration of the school concerned in advance to make alternative arrangements; otherwise, they will be deemed to have given up their discretionary place.
Parents of applicant children who have failed to secure a discretionary place or who have opted for Central Allocation only will be invited by the Education Bureau via letter in mid-January 2023 to make choices of schools for Central Allocation at a designated Central Allocation Centre on February 4 or 5. Primary One places will then be allocated to these children in Central Allocation. Besides, in line with the "Smart Government" strategy, the Education Bureau will implement digitalisation of primary one admission by phases starting from 2023. Parents are encouraged to register "iAM Smart +" (https://www.iamsmart.gov.hk/en/reg.html) as early as possible to enjoy more convenient and faster services. If parents have provided an email address in the "Primary One Application Form" and activated their Primary One Admission e-Platform account using "iAM Smart +", they may make choices of schools and check the result of Central Allocation through the e-platform. Further details will be announced in due course.
For applications for participation in Primary One Admission 2023 made after February 5, parents are required to approach the School Places Allocation Section of the Education Bureau to complete the necessary procedures. The Education Bureau will separately arrange a Primary One place for the applicant children in June 2023.
For further enquiries, please contact the School Places Allocation Section of the Education Bureau at 2832 7700.

## AmpReactor — adding some InteractiveX to PHP

```
$ composer require hhreact/ampreactor
```

### Getting started

#### The what

If you know what **InteractiveX** is, AmpReactor matches the InteractiveX philosophy closely, really only [straying significantly for the binding operators](#operators).

If, alternatively, you know what **ReactiveX** is, InteractiveX is the "pull" analogue, where enumerables take the place of observables.

If you know about AmPHP's [`Iterator`](https://docs.hhvm.com/hack/async/generators#sending-and-raising), AmpReactor lets you clone, reduce and expand async `Iterator`s, and lets you enforce precise policies on buffering.

#### In action

```php
<?php
use AmpReactor\InteractiveProducer;

\Amp\Loop::run(function() {
	// Start with any Iterator
	$iter_numbers = \Amp\Producer(function($emit) {
		for($i = 0; ; yield $emit($i++)) {}
	});

	// Now make it really P R O D U C E
	$number_producer = InteractiveProducer::create($iter_numbers);

	// Transform a stream, e.g. map
	$square_producer = (clone $number_producer)->map(function($root) { return pow($root, 2) });
	// Transform two streams into one, e.g. zip
	$cube_producer = InteractiveProducer::zip($number_producer, $square_producer, function($root, $square) { return $root * $square; });
	// Transform many streams into one, e.g. merge
	$merged_producer = InteractiveProducer::merge(Vector{ $number_producer, $square_producer, $cube_producer });
	while(yield $merged_producer->advance()) {
		// numbers flying at your face! Beware: no guaranteed order with `merge`
		$item = $merged_producer->getCurrent();
		var_dump($item);

		// To cancel/dispose, just use what the language gives you: `break`, `return` and `throw`;
		//  the iterating scope is in full control.
		if($item > 42) {
			unset($merged_producer);
			break;
		}

		// The "Details of InteractiveProducer" section further down explains what
		//  happens when you cancel an InteractiveProducer partway
	}

	// Note that InteractiveProducer wraps transparently:
	$cloned_producer = clone $number_producer;
	while(yield $cloned_producer->advance()) { /* same items as $iter_numbers */ }

	// In general, don't try iterate the original Iterator:
	//  you'll probably get a "The prior promise returned must resolve
	//  before invoking this method again" exception
});
```

#### The context (the sales pitch)

This library is something of a language port of [HHReactor](https://github.com/acrylic-origami/HHReactor), the original implementation of this functionality which was written in [Hacklang](http://hacklang.org/). In replacement of Hacklang's built-in async, this library builds on the [Amp concurrency framework](http://amphp.org/amp/).

Amp allows one to write asynchronous code without callbacks in PHP by carefully controlling generators and interfacing between these generators and PHP event loop extensions. This way, async and sync code can blend seamlessly, and in similar spirit to Hack async, a lot of idioms from the language itself are preserved for async behavior.

By itself, Amp's `Producer` already:

1. Manages backpressure with a queue built out of an array,
2. Allows merging and collapsing of higher-order iterators by emitting to a common output
3. Lets code "await" promises by yielding them

Foremost, AmpReactor diversifies the backpressure options to match those in InteractiveX: `Share`, `Memoize` and `Publish` ([described later](#dynamics)). This way, iterators are no longer limited to one consumer at a time.

Many consumers potentially means many useful forms of the same iterator, so built into AmpReactor are almost all of the [ReactiveX/InteractiveX operators](http://reactivex.io/documentation/operators).

### AmpReactor: what's in the box

- **`BaseProducer`**: manages cloning and accounting on running clones
- **`InteractiveProducer extends BaseProducer`**: InteractiveX operators and support for [arbitrary scheduling and higher-order iterators](#constructor). The ⭐ of the show

### Operators

Most of the operators match the canonical InteractiveX/ReactiveX signatures. The quickest way to scan the signatures is to [look at the reference documentation](#ref-doc).

Major discrepancies:

1. **"Binding" operators – `share`, `memoize`, `publish`**: [these are replaced by cloning](#dynamics).
2. **`defer` operator**: no strong motivation to implement it.

###  Dynamics of `InteractiveProducer`

If two or more scopes consume the same stream, they can either clone or not clone the `InteractiveProducer`:

1. **[Ix's Memoize & Publish] If the `InteractiveProducer` is cloned**, the buffer is also cloned, so consumers will receive the same elements from the moment of cloning. In this way, clones act like InteractiveX's `Memoize` and ReactiveX's [`Replay`](http://reactivex.io/documentation/operators/replay.html).

  To emphasize: the clone doesn't see any elements produced by that `InteractiveProducer` before the clone exists. In this way, `Memoize` and `Publish` behavior differ only in when/of what the consumer takes a clone. Cloning from a `InteractiveProducer` that is never iterated will give `Memoize` behavior. Cloning moving `InteractiveProducer`s will give `Publish` behavior.

  Note however that, because the consumer is in control of iteration, the underlying iterators aren't started until the first clone requests the first element.

  > **Behavioral Note**: as [will be mentioned below too](#buffering), the buffer is managed like `Publish` rather than `Memoize`. `InteractiveProducer` is very straightforward with deciding which nodes are reclaimed because it relies on the garbage collector: once the laggiest consumer advances, the node is reclaimed. It is then a simple and explicit matter of keeping or not keeping unstarted `InteractiveProducer`s, which will or won't hold elements from the very beginning respectively.
2. **[Ix's Share] If the `InteractiveProducer` is not cloned**, consumers all share the same buffer, and hence they compete directly for values.

> **Behavioral note**: All operators implicitly clone their operands to avoid competing with other operators or raw consumers for values; they all implicitly `Publish`.

---

### Details of `InteractiveProducer`

####  Details of buffering

The producing and consuming timelines are separated by a buffer, and if not paused, the underlying iterators don't wait for consumption. That is, once started, they will run and push to the buffer even in the absence of a matching stream of `advance` calls. As a result, iterators can run as quickly as possible, and memory can be controlled by managing references and sharing behaviors.

Generally, `InteractiveProducer` relies on the garbage collector to clear the buffer it accumulates from differences in consumption rates between consumers. As the laggiest consumers step their way through the buffer, their references to the earliest nodes of the buffer linked list are shed and the garbage collector clears these unreachable nodes.

#### Running, pausing and exiting early

**The how**

You can stop consuming from a `InteractiveProducer` in a few ways, each with different consequences for resources.

1. _Just drop all references to it_, and free resources as quickly as possible. This includes all clones and all `InteractiveProducer`s that come from operations on the `InteractiveProducer` of interest.
2. _Drop only the running instances/clones_, and stop consuming resources quickly, but maybe restart later.

**The why**

When disposing of `InteractiveProducer`s, there are two determining factors to the iterators and buffers in their ecosystem after they become unreachable:

1. Has `next` ever been called on it, its clones, or `InteractiveProducer`s coming from its operators?
2. What do they wrap?
	- Other `InteractiveProducer`s (e.g. are they results of operators on other `InteractiveProducer`s)?
	- `AsyncGenerator`s?
	- (Notably, what happens to an opened TCP stream?)

`InteractiveProducer` is designed with pausing in mind, to meet the need to arbitrarily stop buffering values but keep resources open to resume later. Some informative aspects of the process:

1. When the first item is requested from a `InteractiveProducer`, it begins "running".
2. Each `InteractiveProducer` knows the number of running clones.
3. `detach`ing a running `InteractiveProducer` decrements the running count.
4. When the running count drops back to 0, the `InteractiveProducer`:
	1. Stops running its children (so the buffer stops growing) and
	2. "detaches" from its child `InteractiveProducer`s by decrementing their running refcounts.\*

See 1. `InteractiveProducer::_attach()`; 2. `BaseProducer::running_count`, `BaseProducer::this_running`, `BaseProducer::some_running`; 3. `InteractiveProducer::_detach`; 4.1. `InteractiveProducer::iterator_to_emitting_generator`; 4.2. `InteractiveProducer::_detach`.

\*A `InteractiveProducer` knows it holds running references to all of its children because, as part of its attachment routine, `InteractiveProducer` must start iterating them all.

On the howto wiki, there is a recommendation to not have partitions over 20G. In that case, how do you have more home space? Is it by creating home1, home2, etc.? Is there any documentation for how to do that, and how to get users' homes onto those different partitions?
Secondly, I don't understand groups very well. Suppose I want to look at all the folders of students in grade 7. Their home folders are all jumbled up with everyone else in the school. Presumably I should be using some kind of group thingy?
Then I have a question about printers. Suppose I want all thin clients on ltspserver00 to default to printerX, and clients of ltspserver01 to printer Y. Or to prevent anyone in the group students from printing to printerZ.
Sorry to have so many annoying questions.

Multidisciplinary consultancy and engineering firm for logistics, techniques and construction
"Imagine you could rely on a team of logistics consultants, engineers, architects and project managers – all under one roof.."
Van Looy Group's differentiating factor is its multidisciplinary approach. In-house knowledge on logistics, technical utilities and civil engineering ensures in every stage efficient engineering and avoids unpleasant rework, delays and related additional costs.
40 years of experience in logistics, utilities and civil engineering of warehouses, distribution centres and hubs. Experience which is secured and multiplied within the organization.
Our engineers ensure that technical conflicts are detected in an early stage and save significantly on time and costs. Rapid and flexible engineering paths as back and forth communication with external parties is reduced to a minimum.
Solid business cases
Our advice and decisions are based on solid business cases, with a clear ROI and payback period.
No hollow words or noncommittal advice from our side: we engineer and build what we advise.
Van Looy Group was founded in 1977 in Gent (B) by Paul Van Looy as 'Van Looy Engineering'. The company primarily focussed on supply chain consulting, but quickly evolved towards an all-round engineering company for logistics facilities. In 1984 Van Looy Group designed and implemented its 1st highbay warehouse.
In 1995 Van Looy Group moved to Antwerp and became part of Royal Imtech in 1998. Numerous challenging projects later, an MBO detached Van Looy Group from Royal Imtech in 2015.
Today, Van Looy Group has evolved towards a strong and promising team of 40 consultants, engineers and architects, with an unconditional drive and undiminished focus on logistics.
"Intralogistics: 'necessary evil' to strategic differentiator"
The importance of logistics has grown over the last decades and it is still increasing. One driver is for sure the awareness on cost-benefits of a keen supply chain design and the related opportunities that can be grasped in today's flat world. A second important driver is the change in customer expectations, both customers' and companies'.
Service levels have become more stringent and are used by companies to separate themselves from the pack. To this extent, 'resilience', 'accuracy', 'reliability' and 'flexibility' have become essential parameters in tomorrow's supply chains.
Van Looy Group aspires to embed these values in each and every solution it designs, engineers and implements in order to make its customers' supply chains fit for the future.

From the start all of your employees go the extra mile to make the customer feel they are the only customers. From our first meeting with Jimmy we were made to feel comfortable and at home. All of the workers and subs are true craftsmen and pride of workmanship is evident."

"It hardly seems that it was just a year ago that you began building our new home. Now we wake up each morning with a bird's eye view of Shawnee Valley and the beautiful Pocono Mountains. Each of your subcontractors work with the same attention to detail and personal pride of ownership that is characteristic of your building style.

"Thanks again for calling last week for our 1 year move in anniversary. It's nice to know you guys care about your customers a year later."


The politically driven forces on all sides have deliberately created a destructive culture of US vs THEM here in America. The Promiseland Project is a long-term marketing and grassroots campaign created to unleash the power of Purpose to bridge the cultural divide. Our singular guiding principle: We believe that in order to bridge the massive and destructive cultural divide, as a society we must walk in each other's shoes, understanding each other's life experiences. We are on a journey to do just that all across America. At SXSW 2019 we will unveil America's New Front Porch pop-up right across from the Austin Convention Center. Those who attend this session will be the first to be invited to America's New Front Porch pop-up where they can share values, stories, refreshments and an awesome front porch band.

American Airlines Introduces New Service to Mexico and Cuba
American Airlines has included Santiago De Cuba as its sixth Cuban destination when it will introduce its daily service from Miami on May 3, 2019.

We have received some enquiries about references from current member leagues to support applications to join UKRDA.
Please note, that referee leagues must have had direct contact with the applying league and at least one of these will have attended a training session of the applicant. So applicants can request a reference from one league they may have bouted against, and one they have invited coaches from or hosted a mixed session with.
UKRDA feels it is important for leagues to reach out and collaborate – this is a huge benefit to newer leagues (such as by having experienced coaches visit and lead training sessions), and this collaboration is also a big part of what makes our community such a great and close knit one.
It also ensures that the referee league has observed your league first hand.
