'The Word became… fresh' by Sophia Sinclair – CCC
What happens when a church commits to reading the entire Bible together in a year?
By Sophia Sinclair – Christian Community Churches
We live in a place and time where the Bible is more accessible than ever—we've got apps, different translations, audio Bibles… yet so many of us struggle to develop a consistent reading habit and rhythm.
At the end of last year the team at Hukanui Bible Church addressed this issue by posing the challenge: Let's read the entire Bible together in 2018. They arranged for people to buy Bibles, advertised the challenge and encouraged anyone and everyone to join in.
"Everyone had the same reading plan, about three pages of the Bible each day, covering an Old Testament reading, a New Testament reading and a Psalm or Proverb. We gave out 25 Bibles at the start, and that jumped to 50," says elder and Pastor Gary Gilpin. "Now, I'd say we have about 60-70% of our church reading along through the Bible at the same time".
Persistence is key
It wasn't always easy, and the team have made a focused effort to keep the challenge at the forefront of church life. "We started a private Facebook group for people to ask questions about anything they found hard or confusing. Our service leaders and ministries would also coordinate the passages they were using with the readings for that day or week, and once a month we'd preach from the daily reading. We had to stay on promoting and reminding people that we were doing this together," said Pastor Gary.
The growth and change in people has been noticeable, Gary says.
"There has been a gradual change we've been noticing. People have been talking about the impact it's had on their outlook on life. It has also encouraged community and intergenerational relationships—our youngest readers have been 11-12 years old, and our oldest in their 70s, so seeing the Bible come alive for people across the ages has been a real pleasure."
A natural way for families to connect
For church Elder Andrew Linton the increased accountability opened up opportunities. "It's been a natural way for families to connect with each other and grow together. Our children are aged from 15-25 and we've noticed the teachable moments that pop up in everyday conversations."
The church will be running the challenge again next year—with the plan taking people through a chronological reading of the Bible. The main aim is to encourage people to eat and drink deeply from God's Word.
"Even if it's reading through the New Testament, or committing to a Psalm and Proverb every day… or possibly switching up the translation, we've had a number of people reading the New Living Translation and finding it has brought a freshness to their regular reading habit."
Cultivating a heart attitude
Both Andrew and Gary point out that the challenge has not been about a performance or hitting a perfect formula, but about cultivating a heart for God and his Word.
"It takes discipline, like every good thing," says Andrew, "and ultimately it's an attitude, a commitment, a covenant to hear God's voice day-by-day and treat it as a privilege."

As the producers decided what to film for the short, an almost mandatory stop was Eddie Condon's. Condon's was one of the most important jazz clubs in New York City, featuring the best in Chicago-style Dixielend jazz. In 1944 the club had yet to make the move to 52nd Street, and was located in Greenwich Village.
In many cases, raw production footage has turned up from March of Time newsreels, but unfortunately not in this case. But in this short newsreel performance we do have some of the only known footage of drummer Dave Tough, an inventive and highly-respected musician who was able to drive the Condon combo and, without missing a beat, propel the Benny Goodman or Woody Herman big band.
The band seen on screen is jamming on basic blues changes, and is typical of the groups that played Condon's club. The personnel includes Wild Bill Davison, trumpet, Brad Gowans, valve trombone; Tony Parenti, clarinet; Gene Schroeder, piano; Eddie Condon, guitar; Jack Lesberg, string bass; Dave Tough, drums.

Op-ed: For King's legacy, abolish the Death Penalty, demolish the Death House
by The Black Wall Street Times January 15, 2022

By Rev. Sharon Risher
Earlier this week in a tweet posted by Rev. Bernice King after she heard about the renewed effort to call on the federal government to end the death penalty, Dr. Martin Luther King's daughter wrote, "I believe that [Protest] honors both of my parents. Most importantly, we need to abolish the death penalty."
Martin Luther King Jr. Day this year coincides with the 45th anniversary of the first current-era execution, on January 17, 1977. There have now been 1540 executions in 45 years. Without a doubt, some of those killed were innocent, and many are like the two men lined up to be killed next in this country; Black, poor, mentally ill and intellectually challenged.
As Dr. King famously said, "Capital punishment is against the better judgment of modern criminology, and, above all, against the highest expression of love in the nature of God."
Think about that statement. The death penalty is a pragmatic and moral failure. The only real question is: What must we do to end it?

Faith community must take a stand
I think it is especially important for the faith community to lead on this issue, with a passion for the kind of love and forgiveness that is expressed in every religion, not just Christianity. That's why I'm calling on Americans who truly care about Dr. King's legacy to help me send a clear message to the federal government. Executions must stop.
Most Americans believe another attack like January 6th is imminent
I am not speaking out of turn. My mother and cousins were among those murdered in the 2015 racist massacre by white supremacist Dylann Roof, the most notorious of the remaining prisoners on federal death row. I know the pain of that unexpected phone call. I know the struggle to find the right words. Last year I learned just how awful it still is, six years later, when just the first of what will be many appeals reopened the wound that can never be healed.
While its use is in decline, capital punishment still exists in law in 27 states, plus the military and the federal government. Because of the problems with lethal injections, we are now seeing a return to archaic forms of execution, including the firing squad, the electric chair and even the gas chamber. These shifts are the last gasp of a handful of states still clinging to the death penalty, but its popularity is waning, and I believe the end is in sight.
President Biden can and must do more
President Biden has acted on his campaign promise to end the federal death penalty, but not enough. We must help him to do more. In fairness, we must recognize the positive steps already taken.
'Voting Rights' Is The Movie that Never Ends
After President Trump became the most-executing president in 70 years just in the final six months of his administration, we have not seen another federal execution. When the Attorney General was confronted on the issue during his confirmation hearing, challenged using my mother's killer as the poster child for the death penalty, the President's appointee explained that this administration opposes the death penalty and supports its abolition. In fact, the Department of Justice has now rescinded death notices in at least 12 in-process federal capital cases. That's progress, but it's not enough.
These are things the President has the power to do unilaterally, and he did so without causing a firestorm of opposition. Can and should he do more? Of course, and I will stand with him when he takes additional unilateral actions within his power.
President Biden can and must commute the sentences of those currently on federal and military death rows, and I say that knowing the killer of my mother is among them. President Biden can and must order a halt to any attempts to pursue death sentences or executions in current federal prosecutions, even for killers like the Boston Bomber.
Congress must pass the Federal Death Penalty Prohibition Act
The President can and must follow the example of California's Governor Gavin Newsome, who dismantled his state's execution chamber as he announced that there would be no executions under his administration. I call on President Biden to demolish the federal execution chamber and the building it is housed in at FCI Terre Haute. Yes, bulldoze it. He can do that tomorrow, and he should.
Chicago pays victim $2.9 million in settlement over botched raid of cuffed, naked woman
What President Biden cannot do is unilaterally outlaw the death penalty. The courts have failed to recognize the unconstitutionality of the death penalty, so therefore it is on Congress to pass legislation the President can sign. President Biden must pledge to support and sign HR 262/SB 582, the Federal Death Penalty Prohibition Act. With nearly 100 co-sponsors in the House and the Senate, this legislation will end the federal death penalty, and re-sentence those currently on federal and military death rows.
It is on all of us in the faith community to urge our members of Congress to get that legislation in front of the President for his signature. As Rev. Bernice King reminded us this week, "it is time to abolish the death penalty." To that I add, "Demolish the Death House!"

But my question is more about planning & thinking it all through. Have you given thoughts to where your kids are going to study long term? Do you see them all gathered at the kitchen table? Or do you envision everyone in their own rooms writing away? Well if it is the latter, you are going to need space. And if so, I need to incorporate it now, as we design the big kids bed.
There are so many different styles of desks. But like everything today, even desk designs have improved. These aren't your grandpa's roll top desks. Remember when desks had room for large hard-drive towers? The design has changed with the functionality. It may not be laptops, but they will still need a place for their tablet. Here's what we have to offer when it comes to study space.
There is something elegant about a writing desk. It actually makes you want to sit down & write correspondence. I particular like the openness & versitality of them. Especially for teen girls, it's a desk during the day & a vanity at night. So sweet.
Now you can't have a modern home, then throw a traditional desk in the mix. That's why it's so great to have options with cleaner lines. It lets the design be so sleek. I really love the mix of different materials-- like metals & wood. So fresh!
Sometimes a desk is just that, a desk. We need it to organize and even more importantly hide stuff. With your classic student or pedestal desk, you have the ability to have more storage & drawers. But love how you can get custom paint or really cool driftwood finishes to personalize the desk.
With all the #mombosses out there, the moms telecommuting on Fridays and the moms who just need to write a check, oh do we have something for you!

Malcolm Butler-Allen Robinson Among Patriots-Jaguars Matchups To Watch
by Doug Kyed on Sat, Sep 26, 2015 at 7:17PM
The New England Patriots should go into their Week 4 bye on a high note.
The Jacksonville Jaguars look improved this season under head coach Gus Bradley, but there's a big difference between beating the Miami Dolphins at home and trying to come out with a win on the road, facing the 2-0 Patriots.
The Patriots are mostly healthy going into Week 3. Ryan Wendell has been ruled out with an illness, but defensive tackle Dominique Easley is expected to play, the Boston Herald's Jeff Howe reported, despite being listed as questionable with a hip injury.
The Jaguars, on the other hand, already listed starting defensive end Andre Branch, cornerback Dwayne Gratz and tight end Julius Thomas out for Sunday's matchup. Starting defensive tackle Sen'Derrick Marks and backup running back Denard Robinson are doubtful, while starting safety Johnathan Cyprien, left tackle Luke Joeckel and right guard Brandon Linder are questionable. That shouldn't help as the Jaguars come in as 14 1/2 point underdogs, per OddsShark.com.
Check out the top matchups to watch:
ROB GRONKOWSKI VS. SERGIO BROWN
Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski and Jaguars safety Sergio Brown have a long history together. They both came to the Patriots as rookies in 2010 — Gronkowski as a second-round draft pick out of Arizona and Brown as an undrafted free agent out of Notre Dame.
Brown left for the Indianapolis Colts and broke Gronkowski's forearm during a fourth-quarter extra point attempt in a game the Patriots won 59-24.
The Patriots tight end famously blocked Brown off the playing field and into a camera man last season in the Patriots' 42-20 Week 11 win over the Colts. Gronkowski said after the game he "threw him out of the club."
Brown actually covered Gronkowski well in that game, individually allowing just one catch on one target for 16 yards. Gronk had four catches for 71 yards and a touchdown in that game.
It likely will be more difficult for the Jaguars safety to have success against Gronkowski this season, however, because the big tight end seems to be on another level. He already has 12 catches for 207 yards with two touchdowns.
MALCOLM BUTLER VS. ALLEN ROBINSON
It's been a tale of two games for Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler this year. He allowed over 100 yards to Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown in Week 1, then he individually blanked Buffalo Bills receivers Sammy Watkins and Percy Harvin in Week 2, allowing just one catch — a 32-yard touchdown to Robert Woods.
It's been the same story for Robinson this year with seven catches for 182 yards and two touchdowns, though six receptions, 155 yards and both scores came last week against the Dolphins.
Brown historically has had more success against bigger receivers, so the 6-foot-3, 215-pound Robinson could be a good matchup for the second-year pro. Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles is just 7 of 19 targeting Robinson this season. Butler has allowed 10 completions on 11 attempts for 174 yards with two touchdowns and an interception.
SEBASTIAN VOLLMER VS. JARED ODRICK
The Patriots' best, most consistent offensive lineman will be facing off against the Jaguars' best defensive lineman. If anyone on the Patriots can neutralize Odrick, it's Vollmer.
The Patriots have a long history against Odrick, who played with the Miami Dolphins from 2010 to 2014, though he mostly played inside at defensive tackle. The Jaguars deploy Odrick as their strong-side defensive end in their base defense.
Odrick has 11 tackles, two sacks and an interception in eight games against the Patriots. Patriots former left guard Logan Mankins gave up both sacks, which came in Week 8 of the 2013 season.

Omschrijving In the IEM Design project the aim is at performing the design of a product and/or process. This should take place according to the regulative cycle (or parts thereof) by clearly defining the problem at hand, devising a design plan/strategy and, whenever possible, executing it and evaluating the proposed solution. The integration of non-technical requirements (e.g. company strategic policy) clearly and directly linked to the industrial context is a conditio sine qua non for this project.
The design project assesses central IEM learning objectives, which preferably is performed as a finalization of the Master Cycle. The IEM Design Group initiates projects and acts as a first supervisor. Faculty Staff (probably ENTEG) is available as knowledge provider and participates as a second assessor with a specific focus on the scientific approach and contents. The expected outcome of this project is a multi-faced design report in which the employed methodology (independent of the content) as well as the link between the technology and the industrial context are of crucial importance.

Q: trigger to update parent record field from child I have a requirement where i need to update a field on Account object everytime a related case is closed.
The Field "Closed Cases" is a number field on Account object. Everytime, I close a case, this field should be incremented by 1.
I wrote a trigger but it's showing NULL Pointer Exception.
Please let me know if you see any issues here:
public class caseTriggerHandler {
    public static void autoFillNoOfContacts(List<Case> caseList, map<id, Case> oldCase){
        Set<ID> AccIDs= New Set<ID>();
        List<Account> accsToUpdate = New List<Account>();

        for (Case cs:caseList){
            if(cs.status=='closed' && oldCase.get(cs.Id).status<>'closed'){
                AccIDs.add(cs.AccountId);
            }
        }

        Decimal noOfCases= 0;
        for(Account acc: [SELECT ID, Closed_Cases__c, (SELECT Id,Status FROM Cases) FROM Account WHERE Id IN:AccIDs]){
            noOfCases+=noOfCases;
            acc.Closed_Cases__c+=noOfCases;
            accsToUpdate.add(acc);
        }
        update accsToUpdate;
    }
}

A: Your code has a multitude of flaws, noOfCases counting nothing, as well as an inefficient query, plus not including things like the account changing.
You can just do this:
public static void autoFillNoOfContacts(List<Case> caseList, map<id, Case> oldCase){
  Map<Id, Account> accounts = new Map<Id, Account>();
  if(caseList != null) {
    for(Case record: caseList) {
      accounts.put(record.AccountId, new Account(Id=record.AccountId, Closed_Cases__c=0));
    }
  }
  if(oldCase != null) {
    for(Case record: oldCase.values()) {
      accounts.put(record.AccountId, new Account(Id=record.AccountId, Closed_Cases__c=0));
    }
  }
  accounts.remove(null); // Don't count null values
  for(AggregateResult result: [
     SELECT COUNT(Id) sum, AccountId AccountId
     FROM Case
     WHERE IsClosed = TRUE AND AccountId = :accounts.keySet()]) {
    accounts.get((Id)result.get('AccountId')).Closed_Cases__c = (Integer)result.get('sum');
  }
  update accounts.values();
}

A: The issue is in the below line .
acc.Closed_Cases__c+=noOfCases;

If the value of Closed_Cases__c field is null then you are adding 1 to the null which gives null pointer exception. Instead of that you can make the default value of the field to 0 or replace that line with the below line.
      if(acc.Closed_Cases__c!=null){
        acc.Closed_Cases__c+=noOfCases;
        }
        acc.Closed_Cases__c=1;

Which means if the value is null and we are closing the case this will populate to 1 if it is not null then it will increment by 1.
Even the above code may not work as expected because the trigger should work for the existing closed cases as well. so the logic should be counting the number of closed cases and populating the value as below.
if(AccIDs != null && AccIDs.size() > 0){
        List<Account> lstAccount = [select id, Closed_Cases__c , (select id from Cases where status = 'Closed') from Account where id in: AccIDs];
        if(lstAccount.size() > 0){
            for(Account acc: lstAccount){
                acc.Closed_Cases__c  = acc.Cases.size();
            }

            update lstAccount;
        }
    }

A: From the simple requirement of incrementing the case count I would use the ternary operator, which the short form of if then else + variable assignment.
By this you have the a one liner. See below
public static void autoFillNoOfContacts(List<Case> caseList, map<id, Case> oldCase){
    Set<ID> AccIDs= New Set<ID>();
    List<Account> accsToUpdate = New List<Account>();
    for (Case cs:caseList){
        if(cs.status=='closed' && oldCase.get(cs.Id).status<>'closed'){
           AccIDs.add(cs.AccountId);
        }
    }
    for(Account acc: [SELECT ID, Closed_Cases__c, (SELECT Id,Status FROM Cases) FROM Account WHERE Id IN:AccIDs]){
        acc.Closed_Cases__c = acc.Closed_Cases__c == null ? 1 : acc.Closed_Cases__C +1;
        accsToUpdate.add(acc);
    }
    update accsToUpdate;
}

Preliminary design plan for Fiscal Year 1913 battleships. This plan is very similar to that of the preceding Scheme "L" (see Photo # S-584-016) but instead employed turbine rather than reciprocating steam main propulsion machinery, permitting one-half knot additional maximum speed and some minor adjustments in dimensions. This plan apparently was never sent to the General Board but rather reflected interest within the Bureau of Construction & Repair about the implications of twin turret designs. Selection of a 15-inch gun, a caliber not in development for the U.S. Navy, illustrated a hypothetical larger caliber for a ship having fewer main battery guns.
This plan provides eight 15-inch guns, turbine machinery, and a speed of 21 knots in a ship 610 feet long on the load water line (L.W.L.), 95.9 feet in beam, with a normal displacement of 30,800 tons.

2/6/2017 Fordlandia, Brazil
Old vehicles and equipment are stored in the old workshops of Fordlandia, abandoned by the American's in the 1930's after Henry Ford's rubber plantation project there failed.
In the 1920's Henry Ford's Ford Motor Company sought to avoid having to buy rubber from the British by establishing a plantation on the western bank of the Tapajos river in the Amazon region of Brazil. The project, located in a remote corner of the Amazon with no road access, was beset from the beginning by high costs, and failures, after successive plantings of Rubber trees on cleared forest ground were plagued by disease and fungus. Despite the challenges, a factory, warhorses, a hospital, and numerous employee quarters were built to house the nearly 5,000 workers that were brought to the site. The project was ultimately abandoned in 1934 by the Ford Motor Company at a loss of millions of dollars, having never produced a single bit of rubber for Ford. Today, the remains of Ford's project are slowly being overtaken by the rainforest once again.
A statue of a man harvesting rubber stands in the main square of Fordlandia in the shadow of the towns Church. The Church was built later, as Henry Ford prohibited any outside influences, including religion, from his rubber plantation.
The decaying walls of the Fordlandia Hospital, built by the Ford Motor Company, now frame an encroaching forest. The hospital was once Brazil's most advanced.
The small village of modern Fordlandia is home to under 2,000 people, many of whom live in the original American-built structures, many of which have been refurbished.
A young resident of Fordlandia paused on his bike near the workshops and warehouses that were the center of Ford's project in Fordlandia.
Old gravestones from the Ford era, tipped over after years of erosion, lay on the ground in the Fordlandia cemetery. The Fordlandia project from the beginning, was beset by deaths from disease, and snake bites.
Trees grew among old equipment in the abandoned workshops of Fordlandia.

I sat down with Stevens in early March to discuss Miss Anthology. She has a background in graphic novels and comics, a field she turned to when she could not afford art supplies and did not have access to an art studio space. The DIY nature of comics offered her a way to make narrative work and share it online, avoiding a slew of gatekeepers.
"It is something that you can literally create on your own from start to finish—you don't really need anyone's permission—and then you can put it out there on the internet," Stevens said. "I just think that's such a powerful tool that not enough people know about." Now, through Miss Anthology, she will be sharing this practice with other young female and genderqueer artists.
Knowing that youth continue to face similar struggles in the wake of mainstream media, Stevens cooked up the concept for Miss Anthology and proposed it to Lewis, another Portland-based artist who makes comic work. Carlisle joined the collaboration to help with the vital role of outreach, leveraging her unique voice as a genderqueer artist, educator, and veteran of the Portland Public School System. The trio pitched their project to PICA's Precipice Fund and were awarded a grant of $4,500 to execute their vision this calendar year.
The team has developed every aspect of Miss Anthology's workshops with heightened sensitivity to the needs of their target demographic. Thanks to partnerships with Portland Community College Cascade and Marrow PDX (which operates a teen education space in St. Johns intended "to empower teens to take ownership over their education, and to foster a community of youth who are visually, socially and culturally literate"), all workshops are taught in spaces where students can return, either as teens or college students. Additionally, each workshop is lead by female or genderqueer artist. "We want the students to see reflections of themselves or a possibility of what they can be," Stevens noted.
However, Stevens and her collaborators are aware that this artistic practice does require some resources, and their overarching goal is to connect participating female and genderqueer youth to tools for making work in the future. Miss Anthology plans to supply workshop participants with materials that they can use and take home, and the project will direct participants toward the Rockwood Makerspace—part of the Multnomah County Library system that is free to youth in grades 6-12.
Miss Anthology's collaborators also found a wealth of support from local community institutions, including such stores as BLICK and SCRAP, which have donated supplies, and C3:Initiative, a St. Johns nonprofit where Miss Anthology is currently in residence. Stevens excitedly reported that, thanks to C3's support, they will also be able to print the final anthology in color as opposed to black and white. This addition of color will underscore the diversity of narratives and perspectives of each contributing young artist.
Sequential art has the capacity to frame social and political subjects and ignite dialogue through a means that is at once subversive—"a trojan horse," as Stevens said—and also truly earnest. We see this phenomenon in the compelling work of artists like Portland-based Joe Sacco and his comics journalism approach in Palestine and Footnotes in Gaza.
And, although the mainstream comics industry is still dominated by the white, cisgendered, male experience, different narratives and voices are finding their way in. This year Marvel comics debuted the first solo series starring America Chavez, a Latin-American LGBTQ teenager, written by Gabby Rivera, an LGBTQ Latina novelist. Miss Anthology's organizers and educators are hoping to inspire this generation of youth to develop their own voices, stories, and representation in the years to come and give them the insight into the work that involves.


If you're heading on a long journey a stop at a motorway service station is just as likely to be on the cards as getting stuck in huge queues or encountering a middle-lane hogger.

SAS Ghost Patrol: The Ultra-Secret Unit That Posed As Nazi Stormtroopers
By Damian Lewis. SAS Ghost Patrol is the explosive true story of the day in 1942 when the SAS donned Nazi uniforms to perpetrate the most audacious and daring mission of the war.
By Damien Lewis
SAS Ghost Patrol is the explosive true story of the day in 1942 when the SAS donned Nazi uniforms to perpetrate the most audacious and daring mission of the war.
Beyond top secret, deniable in the extreme (and of course enjoying Churchill's enthusiastic blessing),this is one of the most remarkable stories of wartime lawlessness, eccentricity and raw courage in the face of impossible odds - a thoroughly British undertaking.
What unfolded - the longest mission ever undertaken by Allied special forces - was an epic of daring, courage, tragedy and survival that remains unrivalled to this day, and which rightly became a foundation stone of Special Forces legend.
Written with Lewis's signature authenticity and dramatic verve, SAS Ghost Patrol is peopled by a cast of the utterly maverick and the extraordinary. In its quirky eccentricities and outrageous rule-breaking,this is a story that only the British could have authored, and with such panache and aplomb. It may read like the stuff of impossible myth or folklore, but every single word is true.
Well worth reading, quite incredible exploits.
who dares win
Always good to read about the SAS and the actions they where in as information comes forth.
W.S.
Excellent reading
Very well written, fascinating read. Couldn't stop reading once started.
A Book that must be read
A simply fantastic book, well researched and containing superb details,a book that cannot be put down.


If you have been looking into HMO mortgages or HMO finance, then we are here to help. We asked our clients and our finance consultants for their top tips for buying and mortgaging a house of multiple occupation.
Make sure you have the relevant license in place or if you have just converted the property into an HMO make sure you have an application lodged with the local council. Planning changed again in October 2018.
Check the HMO criteria for your local area as this can differ between locations.
Set up a separate bank account for your rents to run through. It's a simple way for lenders to check your rental income and will help you should you wish to venture into more HMO properties – this can help with your HMO finance application.
Choose your location wisely. Locations around hospitals, universities and science parks can provide good returns.
Purchasing via a Ltd company structure can help to maximize your borrowing, plus ltd company rates are no more expensive nowadays.
Consider rental voids. Fox example student HMO's may be empty during the summer holidays.
Try and keep a communal area such as a lounge or kitchen diner in the property, lenders prefer to see this.
Make sure tenants are on Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreements. Lenders will not lend if AST's are not in place.
Work your way up to an HMO. Most lenders like a landlord to have at least 12 months letting experience before embarking on an HMO.
If you can buy a standard property and convert it to an HMO then you will add instant capital value, this is a great way of flipping property too.
Keep a portfolio spreadsheet to include: address, number of bedrooms, value, existing mortgage balance, monthly rent, monthly mortgage payment, lender, rate end date. It enables you to keep a track on your properties and make sure you are never stuck on a lenders variable rate.

H and Claire Sign 4-album deal
If you haven't already heard, ex-Steps members, H and Claire, who were rumoured to have split the group up, are working together as a duo to bring you more "Steps-like" sounds.
Signing a stonking GBP4 million contract with WEA a couple of days back, Claire Richard and H, also known as Ian Watkins, have agreed on a 4-album deal. Steps's old label Jive had hoped to sign the pair but Claire said, "They didn't exactly offer the best deal."
Their debut single, 'DJ', said to be shot in Miami, is due out on the 6th of May. Talking to the press, Claire said "It will sound similar to Steps but gradually we will change our sound slightly."
The two popsters flew off recently to Sweden to work with Jorgen Elofsson, who wrote Will Young's track "Evergreen."
They'll also have their very first live performance at the G-A-Y Nightclub come 4th of May.
Check H and Claire out at their temporary official website at: www.handclaire.com

7 incentive ideas in Melbourne and Victoria
3 January 2020 by Andrew McCorkell
From a penguin parade to a man-made surf park and beach golf, here's the inside track on what to do in the Australian city and state.
Phillip Island's new Penguin Parade
In 2019 Phillip Island Nature Parks launched the new Penguin Parade Visitor Centre (pictured above).
This was a result of AUD$48 million investment from the state government. The new environmentally friendly visitor centre offers fun and interactive activities, high tech theatre and a dedicated education wing.
It meant the restoration of more than six hectares of penguin habitat which benefits Australia's largest colony of Little Penguins.
URBNSURF Melbourne
Just opened at Melbourne Airport, Urbnsurf Melbourne is the first man-made surf park facility in Australia.
It uses wave-generating technology so that visitors of all abilities will be able to have an authentic surfing experience whatever the weather – without a beach in sight. It has a 320-metre pool that produces waves between 0.6 metres and 1.9 metres, with rides lasting up to 32 seconds.
The attraction includes a fully equipped pro-shop for board and gear hire, a café and training programmes for all levels.
Based on a 20-hectare property west of Apollo Bay along the Great Ocean Road, this wildlife experience has recently launched as Wildlife Wonders. The ecologist-led guided walk takes visitors through the Otways region to explore Victoria's native wildlife.
Set in bushland, delegates can watch koalas dozing in the treetops, potoroos and bandicoots foraging on the forest floor and kangaroos hopping along the horizon against a spectacular ocean backdrop.
The Lakeside Discovery Centre at Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges
Due to open in December 2020, The Lakeside Discovery Centre adjacent to the Puffing Billy Lakeside Station, will highlight the relationship between the Dandenong Ranges and Puffing Billy (the world's oldest surviving steam locomotive), as well as offering food, beverage and function facilities.
13th Beach Golf Lodges
Opening in January 2020, 13th Beach Golf Club, Barwon Heads on The Bellarine will launch its new luxury accommodation in January 2020. The 16 new golf lodges overlook the stunning Beach Golf Course and Lake Murtnaghurt.
Each features a luxurious king or twin bedding configuration, outdoor space and modern furnishings. 13th Beach Golf Club is ranked in the top 10 public access golf courses in Australia (Golf Australia) and hosts the Victoria Open Golf tournament every February.
Wilsons Promontory Cruises – Pennicott Wilderness Journeys
New Wilsons Promontory cruises began September this year and are the latest addition to the award-winning Pennicott Wilderness Journeys ecotours. Visitors can travel in custom-built amphibious boats designed for cruising waters in comfort and safety.
Check out the iconic South Point, the southernmost tip of mainland Australia and cruise into the waters of Bass Strait and Victoria's first marine national park. This cruise tour will take visitors to the iconic granite monolith that is Skull Rock, sculpted by waves and surrounded by crystal blue waters.
Bendigo Street Art Tour
Located on the Goldfields region, new tours are available to explore Bendigo's blossoming street art scene with a talented and passionate local artist from Nacho Station artist collective.
Learn about the unique challenges that a historic city like Bendigo poses for local artists, hear local urban legends, see inter-state and international artists' work, and even leave your own mark on the walls during the tour.

Tamera, can I just tell you how wonderful the Hello Monday Posts have been. Great inspiration, thank you. We must be around the same age because I hear you on the hormones, sweet lady. Wish we lived closer so we could take morning walks together and yell at the top of our lungs about this ( stupid, crazy, awful) stage we have to go through. Hang in there!
Trina my dear, I definitely wish we could take morning walks together to share our stories of family love... and transitioning to our newest stage in life. You must be getting so excited for the new arrival in your life!

La Mare Wine Estate was the island's only winery and was a wonderful hive of food and drink as not only did they have the vineyard, but also a cider distillery, chocolatier and they also make fudge, biscuits and an award-winning apple butter. It's always great to see Great Taste Awards on products.
The tour is an absolute must – it will give you the history of the site and enable you to learn more about the products and vineyard. At £9.95, it also offers fabulous value for money given all the delicious product you get to sample.
It was great to enjoy the tour and hear what a wonderful summer has meant to the vineyard with a crop this year of over 37 tons of grapes. This is great news for the vineyard and all the fans of their wines as there will be more bottles available.
The Crab Shack have 3 locations St Helier, St Brelade's and Gorey around the island. We visited the St Helier restaurant for lunch. The décor was fantastic with clever use of booths, lower seating and use of textures, plants and the tiles offered a wonderful focal point.
The menu offered a wide variety of food, perfect for a hearty lunch, having been walking around and exploring the island. The food was delicious and was a wonderful flavour of the Jersey foodie scene.
The service was great and it's defiantly a location we would recommend. They also have a great Instagram account which is how we found them.
It is rare to find a magical spot such as Faulkner's Fisheries restaurant which is at the end of a beautiful beach on St Ouen bay at L'Etacq. It was started by Sean Faulkner in 1980 and they now supply seafood to Jersey and Guernsey. This is one of those wonderful foodie locations that should win a Radio 4 Food Programme Award it's a combination of great food in an awesome location.
It offers a wonderful array of locally sourced seafood cooked and served for you to enjoy on a picnic bench while looking over the beach and sea, it's simply perfect.

Always so anxious and upset by the coming of this new child, he decides to find his father to soothe his torment. Fortunately, his wife Mary, seven months pregnant, continues to nurture her home with serenity.

A car is an important piece in people's life to be mobile in the world of today. Van Tilburg-Bastianen is one of the largest dealers for Volkswagen, Seat, Skoda, Daf, etc.. To make sure every finds the right car and receives the best service, TB asked Netvlies to help them create a new online platform and rethink their service model.
Through several sessions and design sprints, we helped TB acquire more insights about their customer journey and their end-users. We set up a perfect base to create a new website that enables people to find the right car at once and also get the best service throughout the whole customer journey.
Because Van Tilburg-Bastianen is involved in so many different vehicles and brands, we wanted to make sure we created a solid platform which we could use for every purpose, vehicle and brand.
We initiated a master design sprint to create components that will fit every user. These components were translated into a solid design system, made possible by a Netvlies Sketch Framework, that helped us build rapid prototypes and products to test with users. We now have only one code base and one design system, that helps us create a variety of products fast without a lot of hassle.


Congratulations – your viewers make up the equivalent of the fourth largest city in the world! And how fitting for a blog that brings delight and inspiration on a global scale. May you, your group, your blog and your viewers continue to grow, delight and inspire.

* BTW, according to Wikipedia, Vatican City's official population is of just 605. I wonder how many visits you get from there, possibly also by some priests and nuns! Would you mind telling us?
6 views from Vatican City, over the course of the past 7 years. Possibly from 6 different people, possibly all from the same person. Who knows? We like to think it was the pope.
Haha! Yep, that's probably what almost everyone likes to think.
