Bishops have always been very important to the Church of England, and, if anything, even more so to its American counterpart. In England, bishops were among the leaders of the Reformation, and three (Thomas Cranmer, Hugh Latimer, and Nicholas Ridley) were martyrs to it during the reign of Mary I. Cranmer, as archbishop of Canterbury, was largely responsible for the first Book of Common Prayer in 1549, the Ordinal in 1550, and the second prayer book in 1552 - the foundational documents of Anglican Christianity. In America, the Episcopal Church, following Scottish precedent, took its name from the fact that it has bishops, adding the word "Protestant" to distinguish it from the Roman Catholic Church, which also has bishops.2 The Methodist Episcopal Church, as the principal body was called until a merger in 1939, also has bishops, but they are fewer and farther between, with largely administrative duties. By contrast, bishops of the Episcopal Church are more numerous, have smaller jurisdictions, and have closer contacts at the parish level through the confirmation of communicants and the institution of rectors. Indeed, the latter service, until its revision in 1979, contained a prayer stating that Jesus "promised to be with the Ministers of Apostolic Succession to the end of the world."3 A high point of the church's emphasis (one might say obsession) with bishops and apostolic succession came with the publication of Lucius Waterman's Tables of Episcopal Descent (to use the shorter spine title).4 Many Episcopal churches have displayed a framed chart, "The Apostolic Succession," showing the succession of its bishops from the twelve aposdes; however, this is accomplished by combining succession in office of early bishops with succession by consecration of later ones.

Wow! It's starting and my new found link is laggy today. I try not to spoil even though I wanna do live commenting!!
The finale won't air tonight. It will air next week due to the Asia Games this week.
LOL, I told you guys!!! Just on a previous page I told you to prepare for Yang Se Jong unleashing his bedroom eyes hahaha Guess it's coming in this episode.
I'm all in for skinship but honestly isn't it easier to take off a shirt before sewing on a button???
Please, anyone with a link working, can send me a private? mines are dead!!! and I hope a kiss today, seriously!
Anyone having problems watching it live streaming? my links doesn't work! it's strange because, they have been working for all channels and today they're dead. Anyone can help me? Thank youuuu!
I know I've been a silent lurker lately, but I'm preparing exams to civil servant, and they're insane!
Tomorrow they'll air a normal episode or a special too? I can't wait to know the answer of YA. She's fond of DG, but I think she doesn't know if it's love of only friendship. I hope they end together, because she really needs somebody who really cares about her and her daughter.
really, please! I need a live streaming link! I'm dying here!
@solucu, If u meant the ending song at every episode, then the song is 'Danny Boy' based on the tune of Londonderry Air, an Irish Folk song.
Thank you very much! I didn't know it was so famous.
Hello! I'm new here. I'm binging all the episodes because of the Christma's break. And a I have a question, anybody knows the name of the ending song? I've have already heard it in "Girls generation 1972": on of the boys sang it a capella with a guitar. But I can't find it, and it's very charming.
I'll be lurking here until the end of the drama, if I can, and reading all your posts.
From above screencaps, my guess is that the 2 gay lovers have a reconciliation celebratory dinner at some fancy restaurant and Soso is invited to join them - hence her fancy dress. Somehow, Maroo is in the same restaurant (sc) and somehow figures out that those 2 guys are gay lovers not Soso's boyfriends per his fertile imagination. Hence, the whole misunderstanding is cleared including why Maroo has 2 pairs of exact shoes in different sizes.
Anyone has a link to live stream? mines are dead! I can't believe it! today's episode promises to be mega interesting!!!!
I'm in total shock. Today I've watched episode 2 and I can't believe they used the plane crash of Germanwings Flight 9525. There were 150 deaths, including two of my best friends. I think it's a total lack of sensibility, it's been only two years, only!!! and it's very clear they use this case, because the pilot is German, it has mental problems and it's a suicide. I don't think they would ever use the Sewol Ferry as inspiration for any drama episode, because is their own tragedy, so I think they should show some respect to other countries too, knowing their dramas are watched internationally. I'm sorry for the rant, but it has been like living another time the loss of my friends. It sickens me.
I have some of the songs I've been searching myself. If you're interested, contact me.


Is summer here or not? Because I really can't keep up with the forever changing weather in the UK right now. Like - am I meant to be wearing jumpers to work - or are we still in open toed sandals?
Whatever is going on, its really causing havoc for my blog post schedule. Every time I've got something nice and summery to share you - it pours with rain.
This time though, I'm throwing caution to the wind and just hitting publish - because this ice cream cocktail recipe is just TOO good to sit on.
Yep, today I'm sharing a summery whisky affogatto recipe - made using anCnoc 12 year single malt.
Now I'd love to take all the credit for this recipe but I can't because it was dreamed by the guys over at anCnoc (pronoucned a-nock if you were wondering).
If you're a whisky fan - you'll love this stuff. It's a soft, aromatic blend with hints of honey, vanilla and lemon - which is why it works so well with ice cream.
It's super easy to knock one of these together. All you do is add two generous scoops of Vanilla ice-cream to a Martini glass and pour a little anCnoc's 12 year old directly on top.
Let it melt down a little so it all infuses and et voila - you've got yourself a cool creamy cocktail with one hell of a warming kick!
Perfect for next dinner party or BBQ - weather permitting! You can pick up a bottle of AnCnoc 12 year single malt for just over £30 over at the Whisky Exchange! Cheers!
Finding somewhere good to go for brunch in London is easy. There are SO many brilliant places, the list is endless - but finding somewhere good to go for Bottomless Bubbles close to where I live (out in the sticks)...now that's an entirely different situation.
Don't get me wrong - I love heading into town - it's just sometimes you don't want to have to sit on a train for an hour after too much food and drink, you know? Well, my first-world problems have been answered...all thanks to the Botanist in Marlow.
The Botanist is one of my favourite 'local' restaurants. I say local because there's actually 14 dotted around the country but they've all got the same homely, quaint, shabby chic vibe.
The branch in Marlow has just launched a brand new Bottomless Brunch so we popped down last weekend to check it out - and it's a steal.
For £25, you get a dish from their special brunch menu along with cocktails on tap for 90 minutes and live music. Like any good brunch, there's free-flowing prosecco - or you can go for one of their killer cocktails (I wholeheartedly recommend the pink grapefruit and peach sangria!).
If you're feeling hungry, go for the classic Full English. Not only is the crockery beautiful but it's topped with a HUGE feast including a 4oz cumberland sausage, smoked streaky bacon, baked beans, black pudding, roasted mushrooms and grilled tomato. All that plus toast, tomato jam and your eggs - cooked exactly how you like.
If you're more into Eggs Benedict style dishes then you're spoilt for choice. You can order the poached eggs on toast with a whole host of different toppings from honey roast ham and hollandaise or roast garlic mushroom and spinach through to the smashed avocado with homemade tomato jam.
Or just keep it classic with smoked salmon with a generous helping of hollandaise and chives.
My absolute favourite dish though? The breakfast burger. Cumberland pork patty, smoked streaky bacon, Gruyère cheese, tomato jam and a fried egg sandwiched between two burger buns #DREAMY.
What better way to spend a Saturday morning in the suburbs? If you want to be involved, the Botanist Bottomless Brunch is only available on the first Saturday of every month so you need to get booking ASAP to avoid disappointment.
A SPARKLING WINE POP-UP HAS OPENED IN LONDON AND YOU NEED TO GET THERE ASAP!
There's a new sparkling wine bar in London and you REALLY need to get yourselves down there - like ASAP.
So it's down on Brewer Street (you know the one just behind Piccadilly circus), there you'll find a gallery called The Lights of Soho.
For 10 weeks, 'Fiz' has taken up a residency here - and believe me when I say it's incredible!
and for the time meaning - lots and lots of wine.
The idea behind Fiz is simple. It's a wine bar for people who don't take themselves too seriously.
They don't care if you don't know grape varieties or if you can't pronounce the name of the bottle - all they care about is that you have a good time and enjoy a few glasses of bubbly!
Everything is super casual, social and light-hearted. You can either pull up a stool at one of the tables or find yourself a little area to mingle in with your mates.
When you're ready you order over the bar and your food and drinks are served within minutes.
The bubbles here are obviously the star of the show - and you can order everything from a classic cava through to a sparkling red.
Plus everything is at really reasonable price points. The most expensive glass is £9 (an Austrian Sulphate-free number) but most are priced around the £4.50 mark - with a bottle of the house fizz coming in at £22!
The food is pretty impressive too. Make sure you order a round of sliders to share - there's shredded duck or pastrami but my favourite is the pork belly buns.
They come topped with a red cabbage and jalapeño slaw, crackling crumb and rhubarb sauce. 4 quid each or you can order all three for £11.
I definitely recommend the cured meat board too. Pilled up with generous slices of pork collar, chorizo salami and serrano ham - plus mini gherkins and toasted charcoal sourdough so you can build the perfect mouthful.
Finish off with another round of bubbles...and one of their dreamy chocolate orange or cornflake pots. Perfect.
If you like 80s grooves, good food and lots of fizzy wine, I suggest you get down there before they close their doors at the end of the month! Cheers!

SHANGHAI. — Lewis Hamilton won the 1 000th Formula One Grand Prix yesterday after grabbing the lead from Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas at the first corner and powering to victory in blustery Shanghai.
"To have a one-two (for Mercedes) is really special in the 1 000th grand prix but the start was where it made the difference and the rest is history," said the Briton.


I came across an interesting article in the print version of Reader's Digest and I see that the article is also available online at www.readersdigest.com.
The article profiles 4 athletes who have overcome major physical adversity. Each of the stories is heart-warming. But the first profile, that of Shannon Kelly, really captured my interest. Selfish interest, I suppose.
Shannon learned as a teenager that she had hypertophic cardiomyopathy and over the years, she became progressively more symptomatic with heart failure. By the time she was in her mid-30's, she was short of breath with only minimal activity. Her only option for treatment was a transplant. The operation went well and she has embraced the "new" life that her transplanted heart has brought.
Two years after her transplant, she took on the challenge of a sprint distance triathlon….and she finished 93rd out of 189. Another remarkable story about a heart transplant recipient.
There are very many heart surgeries done these days which are highly successful.The advancement of technology and medication has helped reach this level of success.

IRONY: Rating systems have killed family-friendly TV shows
by Michael Foust , Guest Reviewer | 06 April, 2016
LOS ANGELES (Christian Examiner) – Parents who believe television content has grown coarser in recent years now have data confirming their suspicions, and it shows that one of the elements meant to assist families – the ratings system – has actually made things worse.
The 29-page report by the Parents Television Council (PTC) compared a two-week period of programming in 1997 – the first year of the ratings system – to a similar two-week stretch in 2014 and found that:
The number of hours of TV-G programming fell 100 percent, from 27 hours in 1997 to 0 hours in 2014.
The number of hours of TV-PG shows decreased 39 percent, while the number of hours of TV-14 shows increased 160 percent.
Every hour of content on broadcast primetime TV is rated either TV-PG or TV-14, meaning that broadcasters recommend all of their programming for either young teens or children – a concept that many parents would find objectionable.
No continuing program on broadcast TV is rated TV-MA, the television equivalent to an R-rating.
Just as significantly, the study showed that there is very little difference between a TV-PG program and a TV-14 show. According to the ratings system, TV-14 shows include more adult content than TV-PG ones.
"The implications in our report are enormous and should give the TV industry significant pause," said PTC President Tim Winter. "The industry should have to answer as to why TV-G rated primetime series are extinct, why the lines between TV-PG and TV-14 shows are blurred, why more adult content is being shown on TV-PG shows, [and] why nudity and violence are increasing on broadcast TV overall," Winter said.
The study found that between 2011 and 2014, there was a 93 percent increase in nudity or pixelated nudity and a 17 percent increase in weapon-related violence. Additionally, between 1997 and 2014, there was a 156 percent increase in sexual situations and coarse language in TV-PG shows.

One problem, Winter said, is that TV networks rate their own shows, "creating an inherent conflict of interest." That differs from theatrical movies, which are rated by a separate board.
"You don't see any TV-MA rated (the highest adult TV rating) shows on broadcast TV," Winter noted. "It's not that some of the shows don't warrant the MA rating, it's that the networks are financially motivated not to rate programs properly because most corporate sponsors won't advertise on MA-rated programs."
The self-regulated ratings system has created an unexpected quirk in which many TV-PG television programs have more adult content than TV-PG movies at the box office.
"Congress, the FCC, public health advocates, and parents must insist that the TV Content Ratings System be accountable to the public and meet the needs of the parents and families it was intended to serve," Winter said. "Parents must be alerted to potentially harmful TV content, and the ratings system, which the V-chip utilizes to block unwanted content, can only work if the ratings are accurate."

EU Delays Approval Of Unilever's Sara Lee Buy
Unilever said EU authorities will take closer look at the consumer goods company's proposed $1.58 billion purchase of Sara Lee laundry, soap and deodorants businesses.
AMSTERDAM (AP) -- Unilever NV said Tuesday that European Union competition authorities will take a closer look at the consumer goods company's proposed euro1.28 billion ($1.58 billion) purchase of Sara Lee laundry, soap and deodorants businesses including the Sanex and Duschdas brands.
"It has become clear...that the Commission needed more time to determine the full implications of the deal from a competition perspective on particular European markets," Unilever said.
Unilever, the world's third-largest maker of consumer goods behind Procter & Gamble Co. and Nestle SA, said in September it had struck a deal to buy Sara Lee Corp.'s worldwide body care products business and its European detergents arms.
In addition to Sanex and Duschdas, a German shower gel maker, the deal included several strong regional brands such as Radox bubble bath and Switzal, a maker of baby shampoo.
European regulators had been due to rule on the deal by May 31, but that will be pushed back by four months. Unilever said it now expects the acquisition to close in the fourth quarter of 2010.
Unilever shares fell 2.4 percent to euro21.365 in Amsterdam.
The company hopes the Sara Lee buy will complement its own Dove, Axe and Rexona brands, adding slightly cheaper alternatives to its product lineup.
"The Sara Lee personal care and European laundry brands are maintaining strong levels of growth and Unilever continues to believe the deal will play a significant role in accelerating its growth in Western Europe," the company said.
Unilever has previously said the brands it is buying had sales of euro750 million for the year ending June 2009.

10 Things You Didn't Know about The Decker Terrier
ByHenry Steinman Posted on May 17, 2021 May 16, 2021 Updated on May 16, 2021
The Decker Terrier is well-suited for a wide range of individuals with a wide range of circumstances. Having said that, it isn't quite a breed in its own right. This is because most institutions consider it to be a kind of Rat Terrier, which would be the main breed that the Decker Terrier was bred from. Here are 10 things that you may or may not have known about the Decker Terrier:
1. Named For Milton Decker
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Decker Terrier is named for a man named Milton Decker. Said individual was the one who brought it into existence. However, it is important to note that the Decker Terrier has since been passed into the hands of other breeders.
2. Came Into Existence Because of a Coincidence
Amusingly, Decker Terriers came into existence because of a coincidence. As the story goes, Decker was shopping for plant stock when he was offered his pick from a group of both Terriers and Terrier mixes. Thanks to this, he became the owner of a larger-than-normal Terrier mix named Henry, who proved to be an excellent hunter. Unfortunately, Henry's mother passed away just a short while after Decker acquired him, which is what convinced Decker to start breeding Henry to ensure that his good temperament as well as his good hunting instincts would live on.
3. Bred From Rat Terriers For the Most Part
As mentioned earlier, Decker Terriers were created using Rat Terriers for the most part. However, Decker used other breeds for his breeding project as well. For example, Henry himself was a mix between a Smooth Haired Fox Terrier and a farm dog. Similarly, a number of Basenji dogs also contributed to the breeding project, which was meant to improve the dogs' size as well as hunting instincts.
4. Bred Using Larger-Than-Normal Rat Terriers For the Most Part
Speaking of which, Decker also went out of his way to use larger-than-normal Rat Terriers. Due to this, Decker Terriers are larger than their Rat Terrier counterparts, which remains one of the easiest ways to distinguish between the two kinds of dogs. Having said that, this doesn't mean that Decker Terriers are big dogs. After all, terriers are still terriers, which makes sense considering their intended role.
5. Its Ancestors Were Used For Rat-Baiting
Nowadays, blood sports are seen in a very negative light throughout the western world. However, there was a time when this was not the case. This can be seen in how the ancestors of Rat Terriers and thus Decker Terriers were brought over to the United States by working-class immigrants for use in rat-baiting. For those who are curious, rat-baiting involved putting captured rats in a pit before seeing how long it would take terriers as well as other dogs to kill them. Sometimes, two dogs would compete in this task, which would see the winner rewarded. Said blood sport saw a serious decline in Victorian times, so much so that the last public competition happened in the early 20th century. Even so, the person who held the competition winded up being prosecuted, fined, and forced to promise that he would never do so ever again.
6. Its Ancestors Were Bred For Speed
Having said that, the ancestors of Rat Terriers and thus Decker Terriers were bred for speed for the most part. Something that made them very useful for hunting not just rats but also other small game such as hares and squirrels.
7. Its Ancestors Were Very Popular Until the Second Half of the 20th Century
As such, these dogs were very popular with farmers. After all, they were good for controlling vermin, which was a serious concern for farmers in the past, is a serious concern for farmers in the present, and will remain a serious concern for farmers in the future. This remained the case until the 1950s, which was when two trends started up. One, farmers started using more chemical pesticides. Two, farming became more and more dominated by commercial farms. Like a lot of other dogs, these dogs saw a major decline in their numbers because of the loss of their purpose, though they were preserved through the effort of breed loyalists. Without that, there might be no Rat Terriers and thus no Decker Terriers.
8. Comes From Healthier-Than-Most Stock
On a related note, it is worth mentioning that Rat Terriers as a breed are supposed to be healthier than most other pure breeds. This is because pure breeds are often bred from a very limited number of founding dogs with no new candidates permitted, which limits their gene pool for obvious reasons. Meanwhile, Rat Terriers come from a much wider gene pool, which has been further helped out by regular outcrosses over the course of their existence. Decker Terriers have benefited from this to some extent. Moreover, they have heritage from other breeds as well.
9. Smart Dogs
Hunting dogs tend to have a fair amount of intelligence. After all, they can't do their job if they can't learn very well. Decker Terriers are meant to be hunters, so much so that they are sometimes called Decker Hunting Terriers. As such, it should come as no surprise to learn that they are curious creatures that can learn with respectable speed. Of course, this also means that Decker Terriers need both physical stimulation and mental stimulation. Without either, they can get bored, which in turn, means that they can get anxious, territorial, and even destructive. All of which are best-avoided.
10. Shouldn't Be Confined Indoors
Naturally, this means that Decker Terriers shouldn't be confined indoors. However, interested individuals need to be careful when they leave their Decker Terriers outdoors without adequate supervision. These dogs are quite good at digging, meaning that they have been known to escape fences by just going under them. Due to this, it is a good idea for interested individuals to keep a watchful eye out on their Decker Terriers when they let them out, which should ensure that the latter will remain well.

Classic Romances
Belinda O May 24, 2016 14 Comments
Roman Holiday, 1953, Paramount Pictures. Starring Gregory Peck, Audrey Hepburn. Directed by William Wyler. B&W, 118 minutes.
Princess Ann (Audrey Hepburn), bored with the constraints of her royal life, breaks away from her entourage one night while on tour in Rome. She meets Joe Bradley (Gregory Peck), a down-on-his-luck American reporter. Ann is heir to the throne of an unnamed European country, and Joe believes he's happened upon the interview of a lifetime, one that will bring him back to New York and a "real" reporting job.
Joe doesn't let on he's a reporter, nor does he tell Ann that his friend Irving Radovich (Eddie Albert) is a news photographer. The three embark on a Roman adventure that is romantic and enlightening, and finishes with a poignant ending true to the characters and story.
Audrey Hepburn, Gregory Peck
Filmed entirely in Rome, this is an elegant film with stars to match. It is funny as well. In addition to the surprising comedic talents of both Hepburn and Peck, Eddie Albert is a wonderful foil as the raucous photographer to Peck's more serious, slightly staid reporter. The movie is also spotted with Italian character actors who add humor and charm all along the way.
The decision by director William Wyler to film in Italy was a novel one, and it brought that country to American audiences in a way most hadn't seen before. Travel at that time was less common, and it had only been a few years since the war, so Italy was not considered the prime destination then that it is today.
This was Hepburn's big screen debut, and she won an Academy Award for her performance as the frustrated princess struggling with her role in society. She wasn't the first choice for the role, yet her screen test won over both director Wyler and co-star Peck with her natural yet chic style, perfect for the character.
Initially Peck was to be given sole star billing in the film, yet at some point during production he insisted her name be listed at, or near, the top, with his. This was something he was given a lot of credit for, yet he dismissed it as "the obvious thing to do." He noted her fame was going to overtake the film and it would look silly not to have given her higher billing.
The film was nominated for a total of ten Academy Awards, and in addition to Best Actress, won the awards for Best Costume Design, Black & White and Best Writing, Motion Picture Story. The latter award was originally given to Ian McClellan Hunter, who fronted for Dalton Trumbo, one of the Hollywood elite blacklisted at the time. Years later (1993) the Academy corrected the listing for the award, and Trumbo now receives credit.
In an off-screen romantic twist, Gregory Peck met his second wife, Veronique Passani, while filming Roman Holiday. Passani was a reporter assigned to interview Peck. They married in 1955 and remained together until his death in 2003.
Gregory Peck, Eddie Albert, Audrey Hepburn
Roman Holiday is truly a classic romantic comedy; it perhaps sets the standard for such. It is classy, charming and endearing, with an ending that is satisfying in all its surprises—a tale of the perfect romance, whose memory will never be marred by day-to-day realities.

A film I much more appreciated on my second viewing than my first. You'd think that a film starring my fave classic Hollywood actor and actress would have automatically shot to the top of my list, lol, but it took me 2 viewings to really like the film!
One thing that I personally would have loved to see regarding this film would be a musical adaptation of it. I feel the film is perfect for a musical and many song moments could be included: Princess Ann singing about her ennui w/princess life, Joe Bradley singing about his job, a song they sing during their Roman excursion, a love song once they realize they're in love, a goodbye song when they can't be together again, etc. I feel the film is perfect for a musical!
And I recently learned that the Sherman Brothers (of Disney songwriting fame) actually were working on a musical adaptation of the film and did write some songs for it. The film never got made, but it would be amazing had this project gone through!
That would be amazing!!! I wonder if the ending would be different in a musical. I love the ending here, to me it leaves them with the memory of one perfect day, but it isn't a typical romantic finale.

Like so many others, this is the film that caused my lasting infatuation with Gregory Peck. I first watched it at 10 or 11 years of age, which means I've gone more than 40 years convinced that Greg is the most gorgeous ruggedly handsome Hollywood actor of all time.
I agree with all the praise that the film receives. It is so well made, incorporating fairy-tale sparkle, rollicking fun, secret identities, screwball antics, a dash of politics (all that friendly cooperation among nations), an elegant romantic pairing, including a particularly unique lead actress of aristocratic bearing, picture-postcard cinematography, and a real-life realistic ending.
It's that realistic ending however that provides the films greatest impact, and it is also where the performances by the romantic leads really deliver. In the final 10-15 minutes of the film, after they've joyfully frolicked day & night through Rome, they're most suddenly struck, and Audrey and Greg both show actual moments of breath-stopping shock and disbelief.
There are grander films, to be sure, that deal with more critical issues of humanity. But the emotional trauma conveyed by Audrey and Greg, with palatable yet quiet dignity, as the two lovers part ways, makes the ending one of the most heartbreaking ever filmed.
Belinda O May 14, 2020 at 10:33 am
Beautifully put. This film is a favorite of mine, and judging from the number of views this post gets, many others as well.

Cool, but nice boss Gergory Peck and romantic Audrey in eternal ROMA = AMOR.
Romantic Audrey…

that leads to highest good, while you pursue it,
counting as little what all men desire:
from her comes that spirit full of grace
that shows you heaven by the true way':
so that in hope I fly, already, to the heights…"

Jesus College, one of the leading colleges in the University of Cambridge, has installed a new alarm monitoring system to enhance the level of protection in external staircases. These external staircases are located within houses, each house providing accommodation for 6 to 8 undergraduates. The houses themselves are sited in numerous streets around the college campus.
The installation started in December 2013 with a pilot linking a single external staircase to Drax Technology's AMX software solution installed on a PC in the Porter's Lodge. Located in First Court, the offices are staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year by a team of twelve Gate Porters. Additionally, a Drax Technology SMaRT Watch module was installed using an existing broadband connection to transmit any fire and fault alarms from the previously installed, non-addressable fire panel to the central AMX monitoring workstation. After the success of the pilot scheme, Jesus College ordered a further forty six SMarT Watch modules to extend the service to additional external staircases.
The Drax Technology system demonstrates that Jesus College is taking positive steps to proactively protect the safety of students by ensuring that all installed fire alarm systems are regularly tested. It enables the Porters' Lodge to deliver a rapid and appropriate response for all alarm activations instead of having to rely on individuals to raise the alarm and eliminates the need for porters to physically travel to check the alarm panels for faults. The AMX platform will additionally help ensure that maintenance staff complete all testing to the required standard and speed up the production of monthly reports as electronic logbooks can now be maintained for each connected system for audit purposes. Finally, centralising the monitoring and management of connected fire alarm systems will deliver productivity improvements to the Porters' Lodge staff.
The Drax Technology system enables fire alarms installed in diverse locations to be centrally monitored and deliver higher levels of protection, ensuring compliance with all regulatory requirements including the ANUK Code of Practice for the Management of Student Accommodation.

La Clandestine Absinthe Superieure
Source Shutterstock
Because there are but few real pleasures. Sipping this absinthe is one of the more delightfully decadent ones.
By Eugene S. Robinson
The Daily Dose October 16, 2014
Sitting in a hotel bar in Prague, one is asked, "What's your pleasure?" with a genteel hand wave at the displayed wares. Amber, ochre and clear liquids, familiar spirits and liqueurs line the bar shelves, and the eyes come to rest on an arresting bottle whose label features a flying woman amidst floating flowers on a moonlit night.
"Ah, La Clandestine Absinthe Superieure."
And there it is, the drink of Byronic legend. Anise flavored, made from wormwood and dribbles of the chemical thujone, it is purported to be both addictive and capable of causing hallucinations. Banned for some 100 years all over the world since the early 1900s, absinthe has only been legal in the country of its birth, Switzerland, since 2005 (the EU relented in 1998, but the U.S. not until 2007). It's a drink whose legend has preceded it since the 19th century, when it first started to rack up drinkers from among the ranks of the well-heeled and super-adventurous.
Picasso? Drinker. Aleister Crowley, Erik Satie, Charles Baudelaire? Drinker, drinker, drinker. Ernest Hemingway? Oh, don't even start.
The flavorful drink goes around the table, consumed by all and sundry with nary a hallucination in sight.
Even with the hoo-ha about thujone's hallucinogenic qualities debunked, absinthe can still be as much as 148 proof, making it a pros-only type of drink. Which is to say, not a "lunchtime at work" drink or even a "quick snort before driving home" drink. An intimidating notion that's somehow softened by knowing that a glassful of La Clandestine Absinthe Superieure is a glassful from the home of absinthe, Neuchâtel, Switzerland, flavored with herbs from the same place, Val-de-Travers, where the distiller has always gotten them.
Martial Philippi, owner of the Absinth Depot shop in Berlin, Germany, places a sugar cube onto an absinthe spoon atop a glass of absinthe.

Pouring it out, the first thing to note is that this fairy is not green at all, as would be in keeping with one of the earliest nicknames for absinthe, "the green fairy," based on its traditional color. La Clandestine is clear, in the Swiss style. And if you're even more in the know, you should know that the rituals usually associated with the consumption of absinthe — sugars, flames — here will mark you as either a nutter or a tourist.
No, La Clandestine goes into the glass clear, and when mixed with water turns milky and opalescent. It goes down smooth, the anise biting a bit. The flavorful drink goes around the table, and at about $70 per 750-milliliter bottle, is consumed by all and sundry with nary a hallucination in sight.
Until it is time to leave, and those in attendance imagine that standing up from the table will be easy. This, in fact, is a hallucination. The reality was that La Clandestine Absinthe Superieure, this pros-only drink at about 106 proof, was presently amidst amateurs.
"Relax, and think about your life," said Michal, the able-bodied and all-too-accommodating Czech barkeep. "There'll be plenty of time for standing later."
And he was absolutely right.

Successful food bank collection for the Blues
Wed 19th December 2018 | Winsford United | By Ian Templeman
Winsford United staged a successful event at their home game against Padiham on Saturday, collecting donations for the local Salvation Army food bank.
After putting out an appeal in the run up to the game, Winsford United's Assistant Secretary Steve Wright said he was delighted with the response.
"I am happy to report that many supporters and players of both sides brought donations" said Steve.
"Consequently I was able to deliver a car full of donations to the Winsford branch of the Salvation Army.
"The staff were all very grateful and sent their thanks to everyone who donated. The food bank is open all year around, however at this festive time of year it is used by more families and individuals than at any other time of year.
"The food bank is available to both families and individuals who, for whatever reason find themselves in need of a little help.
"It may be called a food bank but they also have toiletries, cleaning materials and baby essentials.
"This collection was a great success, and hopefully it is something we can do again in the near future".
Steve is pictured below, with a member of the food bank staff, delivering the food on Monday morning.

India: Workmen Dues Under The Employees Provident Fund Act And The Insolvency Code
by NovoJuris Legal
Section 53 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 ("IBC") provides for the order of priority in which the proceeds from the sale of liquidation assets is to be distributed. The Section includes workmen due and the amounts payable to the Central and State government. Section 36(4) of the IBC lists out the assets which are not to be included as part of the liquidation assets and this includes the amounts payable to workmen or employees from provident fund, pension fund and the gratuity fund. Thus, it is relevant to consider if the amount due by way of provident fund, pension fund and the gratuity fund will be included as part of the priority of distribution of liquidation assets as set out in Section 53 of the IBC or will the same be payable in priority to the distribution waterfall as set out under Section 53 of the IBC. This article seeks to examine the judicial interpretation of Section 36 (4) read with Section 53 of the IBC with respect to the priority of payment of the provident fund dues payable to the workmen.
The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) bench of Mumbai and New Delhi and the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT), in their orders during the last three years, have held that the amounts due and payable to any workmen or employee from the provident fund, pension fund and gratuity fund are the assets of the workmen/employees and hence shall not be included in the liquidation estate to be distributed pursuant to the order of priority as set out in Section 53 of the IBC. It may also be observed that dues payable to the workmen includes both the employee and employer contribution to the funds and hence it has been held by the NCLT/ NCLAT that the entire arrears towards the provident fund should be liquidated before paying off the other creditors of the company under liquidation. Thus, the employer contribution to provident fund, pension fund and gratuity fund shall be considered as allocated for payment to the respective funds irrespective of whether such amounts have been released or not.
In 2016, the Joint Parliamentary Committee, in its report had stated, "provident fund, pension fund and the gratuity fund provide the social safety net to the workmen and employees and hence need to be secured in the event of liquidation of a company or bankruptcy of partnership firm." The Committee recommended that all sums due to any workman or employee from the provident fund, the pension fund and the gratuity fund should not be included in the liquidation estate assets and estate of the bankrupt.
Analysis of Applicable Case Laws
We have analysed some of the applicable case laws in this regard:
Precision Fasteners Limited v Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (M.A.No.576 & 752/2018) in C.P.(IB)1339 (MB/2017)
The point for consideration in this case was whether or not Provident Fund, Pension Fund due and payable to the workers or employees of the corporate debtor will become part of liquidation estate in the light of section 36 of the IBC
In this case, the Hon'ble National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai Bench, in its order dated 12 September 2018, observed that dues of provident fund, pension fund and gratuity fund have to be deemed as an asset of the workmen or employees irrespective of whether they have been maintained in a separate account or not by the company under liquidation. It further observed that by including all sums due to any workmen or employee from the provident fund, the pension fund and the gratuity fund under the Section 36(4)(a) (assets owned by a third party which are in possession of the corporate debtor), an overarching interest and title has been created in favour of the workmen in respect of the provident fund, etc. The judgement further elaborated that The Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 ("EPF Act") is a social welfare legislation to protect against the weaker section of the society as enshrined in the directive principles of the Constitution of India. Hence, it can be ascertained that sums due from the provident fund, pension fund and gratuity fund are different from the general term of workmen dues as provided in Section 53 of IBC. Thus the workmen/ employees are free to realise their provident fund, pension fund and gratuity fund dues without being included in the order of priority for distribution of liquidation assets as set out in Section 53 of the IBC. The judgement held that the right of all other creditors over the assets of the company is a property right whereas workmen dues are interwoven with right to life because these amounts are the savings made by the workmen out of their hard earned money for life after retirement and linking such sums on par with the debts of the creditors is nothing but diluting the most valuable and inalienable right of a person.
It has also been held that since IBC excludes the dues with respect to provident fund, pension fund and gratuity fund from the liquidation estate, the provisions of the IBC shall not apply for realisation of such dues.
Alchemist Asset Reconstruction Company Ltd. v Moser Baer India, (IB-378(PB)/2017), order dated 19-3-2019 by Principal Bench, New Delhi
The authority held that the overriding effect of section 238 of the IBC over any other law for the time being in force will not have any bearing over the amounts due and payable to the workmen/ employee by way of provident fund, pension fund and gratuity fund (deemed assets of the employees) because those amounts are specifically excluded from liquidation estate under section 36(4)(a), by reason of which, Section 53 of the IBC shall not be applicable to those amounts.
State Bank of India v Moser Baer Karamchari Union and Ors (AT) (Insolvency) No.396 of 2019 decided on 19-08-2019 by the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal, New Delhi The point for consideration in this appeal was whether or not Provident Fund, Pension Fund and Gratuity Fund come within the meaning of assets of the Corporate Debtor for distribution under Section 53 of IBC.
The appellate authority upheld the decision of the Deli bench and ruled that the question of distribution of the provident fund or the pension fund or the gratuity fund in order of priority and within such period as prescribed under Section 53(1) does not arise as all sums due to any workman or employees from the provident fund, the pension fund and the gratuity fund, do not form part of the liquidation estate/liquidation assets of the 'Corporate Debtor' as provided in Section 36 of IBC.
However, a contradictory view has been taken in the case of The Regional Provident Fund Commissioner – I vs. Karpagam Spinners Private Limited. In this case, it was pleaded by the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner that the categorisation by the Resolution Professional of the dues under the EPF Act under Section 53 (1) (f) as "other remaining debts and dues is incorrect and that the EPF Dues shall be a first charge on the assets of the establishment and shall have priority against all other dues including the waterfall of liquidation payments as set out in Section 53 of the IBC. However, it was held that, pursuant to 238 of the IBC, the IBC will over ride anything inconsistent with the IBC including the EPF Act and that the workmen dues as payable under the EPF Act will not be considered in priority to priority of payment under Section 53 of the IBC. It is however to be noted that in this case, no reference was made to Section 36 of the IBC.
Thus, the dues of Provident Fund, Pension Fund and Gratuity Fund may be considered to be excluded from the waterfall of priority of payment as set out in Section 53 of the IBC. Such determination by the courts will help protect earnings of the workmen/ employee, thereby securing the fundamental right to life of the workmen/ employees.

Warriors Unable To Keep Pace With South Greene
Happy Valley came up short on Thursday evening.
The Warriors dropped a hard-fought 39-8 decision to South Greene on Rebel Hill in the Region 1-2A opener for both squads. With the loss, HV falls to 0-2 on the season.
The Warrior defense came up with a huge play on the opening drive by holding South Greene on fourth-and-goal, but an HV fumble on the ensuing play set the Rebels up deep in Warrior territory.
South Greene took advantage of the second chance as Luke Myers hit Caleb Robinson for a short touchdown pass. The Warrior defense broke up the two-point conversion.
HV continued to battle but was unable to break onto the scoreboard in the second quarter.
SG added to the lead midway through the quarter with a 14-yard Myers touchdown pass and then added two scores in the final 2:39 of the half to take a 26-0 lead into the locker room.
Happy Valley wasn't going to go quietly.
The Warriors used a 14-play drive to open the half that went 80 yards. Happy Valley broke onto the board with a six-yard run from Andrew Little, and then Cayden Campbell caught the two-point conversion to close the HV deficit to 26-8 with 5:35 left in the third.
South Greene, however, answered quickly to answer the HV score and then added a touchdown on the final play of the third quarter to push the lead to 39-8.
Happy Valley was able to get back into striking distance.
However, the Warriors were unable to convert an and-goal situation to close into the lead.
Pedro Colunga led HV with 33 yards on nine carries. Little had 11 carries for 27 yards.
Jamie Esterline had two catches for 21 yards.
South Greene's Luke Myers was 13-of-15 passing for 284 yards and added 59 yards on 18 carries. Jalen Ingram had four catches for 121 yards, while Clint Lamb had five catches for 81 yards for the Rebels.
Happy Valley is slated to return to action next Friday at Unicoi County.

In an effort to keep away from scenarios like these, try and play in much more established and larger Internet poker rooms. This will not imply that all smaller sized and newer World-wide-web poker rooms will not be dependable. Some are but more typically than not, these internet sites have higher probabilities of suffering from bank runs.
The second danger would be the shuffling. All Online pokers should be aware that the randomness of the shuffler is very important. This is commonly determined by the algorithm made for the poker game and which can be stored inside the poker server. World-wide-web poker web pages who wish to assure their clients that their shuffle and their practices are fair commonly do the following: publish their shuffle algorithm also referred to as the random number generator, have independent auditing with the algorithm and third, acquire license from regulatory commission.
In an effort to show how great their shufflers are, World-wide-web poker sites publish the algorithm of their shuffle in their web sites obtainable for study and perusal of interested persons. Apart from this, Internet poker sited undergo independent auditing. That is done by independent auditing organizations to inspect supply codes along with the servers of Internet poker web pages and are carried out in surprise inspections. The third system Online poker web pages do would be to receive licenses from Kahnawake Gaming Commission, a regulatory agency which needs Internet poker web-sites to comply with regulations in order that they can get their license and preserve this to prevent it from being stripped.
The third danger you will need to consider when playing in an Net poker web-site is safety. This danger is just not only limited to the external danger from Web hackers who can get facts from players who enter and who can manipulate the outcome with the game but from the greater internal danger in the men and women inside the organization who're tasked to handle the details and dollars.
An employee functioning for an internet poker web page can very easily access player information and facts and their credit cards numbers and he can use these to gain access or sell these. Insiders also have higher opportunities in eavesdropping around the players' actions and could use and sell this info to ensure that other players can cheat.
The fourth danger is addiction to Web poker. It has been verified that a lot of people do get addicted with Online poker. Even when the action is virtual, much in the thrill and excitement could be the similar as becoming within a "physical" game. If you're prone to gambling addictions, it truly is finest to keep away from Net poker.

The purpose of a no contest clause that is included in a California will is to discourage frivolous legal disputes of the terms of a will after the testator has deceased. While in many cases a no contest clause does just that–other situations are not so easily resolved, and there are exclusions to the scope of a no contest clause that are often upheld by California courts.
One such exclusion is a valid concern and dispute over the instrument created by the testator. Specifically, to hold legal weight, a will must be in writing, and two witnesses must sign it. These witnesses cannot have any stake in the will–meaning that they cannot be beneficiaries of it–and they cannot be married to, or be a civil partner to anyone who has a stake in the estate for which the will was written. In rare cases in which a beneficiary was also a witness to a will, this fault might not invalidate the entire will, rather only the part that relates to the beneficiary who acted as witness.
The witnesses must also see the testator actually sign the will, and they must sign only after the testator has done so.
Such faulty errors to the actual instrument can be valid reasons to contest a will. A problem with the will instrument itself is generally considered a valid exclusion to a no contest clause, unless that clause includes specific language stating that a dispute over the validity of the instrument falls under the no contest request. Even then, however, the no contest clause may not be enforced if the beneficiary was acting reasonably when initiating such a contest.
If you have a question concerning a no contest clause that you wish to include in your will, or if you are a beneficiary who wishes to understand the scope and limits of a no contest clause, a qualified California estate lawyer will be able to provide more details concerning the recent legislation and current legal state of no contest clauses. As the law is in the process of changing, and such changes might be retroactive to your current situation, it is best to consult an experienced California estate attorney to determine the steps that are best for you to take.

Fentress County Assessor of Property announced this week that reappraisal was recently completed in Fentress County.
During reappraisal, property values are updated to reflect current market value. The Division of Property Assessments assists the Assessor of Property's office throughout the entire reappraisal process. All counties across the state are required to have a county wide reappraisal every 4, 5, or 6 years. The reappraisal program is mandated by the State of Tennessee. Fentress County is currently under a 5-year schedule. The previous reappraisal was conducted in 2013. Notices will be mailed May 4th to notify property owners of an value changes. These are not bills. The notices are only to notify the property owner of any value changes made during reappraisal.
New Greenbelt Values are established for each county by the State of Tennessee as part of the countywide reappraisal program. Greenbelt is the Agricultural, Forest and Open Space Act of 1976 that helps preserve agricultural, forest, and open space land. Values are calculated by the Comptroller of the Treasury's Division of Property, Assessments using the same statutory formula in all 95 Tennessee Counties. The new Greenbelt values received from the State of Tennessee are still the lowest assessment for agricultural, forest and open space land, meeting all greenbelt requirements.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the Property Assessor's office Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at (931)879-9194.


During the climb out we get a good aerial view of the St Louis Lambert Airport and end the trip with a cockpit view of our landing at Iowa City Airport. In the descent, it's a little bumpy due to summer thermals and as we turn into the sun for our landing on runway 25 the haze seems to reduce the visibility by half. This trip was flown in a 1974 Citation 500 that had much of the original avionics in the panel. The 500 was the original light business jet and this one was still running on steam gauges. It had no thrust reversers or anti-skid and was equipped with an emergency drag chute.
This aircraft was definitely old school, but sometimes that's what it takes to get the job done. The Drag chute release was on the floor between the pilots. When the pilot pulled it up to arm the chute for landing it looked like he was applying a large automotive hand brake. In the possible event off brake failure, the pilot could deploy the drag chute and bring the aircraft to a stop. the drag chute eventually disappeared from later citations. The Citation 500 was the first of the straight wing Citations built by the Cessna aircraft corporation. It was designed to compete not against the faster Lear jets but in the rapidly expanding business turboprop market. With a maximum takeoff weight of 11,500 lbs., a straight wing and turbo fan engines it could operate out of smaller airports and was much more fuel efficient than other corporate jets.
The down side was that it lived up to its nickname of the "slowtation". With a cruise speed of 345 knots, It was over 100 kts slower than the Leer Jet. The 500 is powered by two Pratt & Whitney JT15D-1 turbofan engines that produce 2,200 lbs. of thrust each. It has a range of 1,250 nm and a maximum altitude of 35,000 ft. The 500 was only in production for five years then Cessna added thrust reversers, lengthened the wings and renamed it the Citation I.

Rasmussen: 58% now view ObamaCare unfavorably, a new high
Allahpundit Nov 18, 2013 1:11 PM ET
That's the highest number from any poll tracked by RCP on this subject, but if it's an outlier, it's a small one. Both Quinnipiac and Gallup have found 55 percent disapproval in the last few weeks, which placed the law 15-16 points underwater. Rasmussen has it fully 20 points net negative. Either it's a slight outlier or, ominously for the White House, it's just a bit ahead of the curve in detecting a further downturn after last week's chaos.
At 38/58, support has dropped seven points and opposition has risen five points in a month. How low can we go?
Eleven percent (11%) of voters say they have been helped by the health care law, but nearly three times as many (30%) say they have been hurt by it. Fifty-four percent (54%) have felt no impact. The number who say they have been helped is down from 15% in October and is the lowest finding this year…
Sixty-six percent (66%) of Democrats continue to view the health care law favorably, although that's down from 73% a month ago. Ninety percent (90%) of Republicans and 60% of voters not affiliated with either major party have an unfavorable opinion of the law.
Seventeen percent (17%) of voters in the president's party say they have been helped by the law, compared to three percent (3%) of Republicans and 10% of unaffiliated voters. Forty-three percent (43%) of GOP voters and 32% of unaffiliateds say they have been hurt by the law, but just 18% of Democrats say the same. Democrats are also less likely to say they have had to change their health insurance.
My favorite stat: "Ninety-five percent (95%) of the Political Class have a favorable opinion of the health care law." The boldfaced split is interesting too, although it's too early to draw firm conclusions from it. On the one hand, it seems significant that Democrats are evenly divided on whether the law helps or hurts them when the party is otherwise in circle-the-wagons-mode to protect the White House. I would have expected that number to be net positive, just as Democratic views of the law are. On the other hand, if young adults (who skew left) end up enrolling en masse and like their coverage, that'll move the needle on Democratic support. And what if they don't like it, and/or feel that they're being gouged on their premiums? Hoo boy.
Josh Kraushaar of National Journal says the end may come sooner than you think. Is a veto-proof majority in both houses of Congress possible before 2016?
Democrats are in better shape on the Senate side, but not by as much as conventional wisdom suggests. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will do everything in his influence to protect the president — and block embarrassing legislation from being voted on — but not if it means he'll be losing his majority gavel next year. There are 21 Democratic held-seats up in 2014, with 17 Democratic senators running for re-election. Of those 17, 10 are running in states where Obama won less than 55 percent of the vote, approximately the baseline of where House Democrats began splitting with the president on the Upton vote. Excluding Reid, an additional 15 Democrats aren't up in 2014, but represent battleground (< 55% Obama) states where support of the law could become a long-term burden. And then there's California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who has emerged as a surprising blue-state critic of the law, retiring Montana Sen. Max Baucus, who famously predicted the implementation was shaping up to be a "train wreck," and retiring moderate South Dakota Sen. Tim Johnson. To overcome a veto, Republicans would need 22 of those 28 winnable votes. Right now, they wouldn't come close. But Reid and the White House may end up relying on swing-state Democrats like Claire McCaskill and Bob Casey to protect the law. If the political mood doesn't improve in short order, will they want to be in that position? And if Republicans retake the Senate in 2015, the political momentum for repeal would only grow.
My gut says he's kidding himself, but so many landmines lie ahead for O-Care that there's no way to dismiss the possibility out of hand. We may be weeks away from O announcing a delay in the mandate or an extension of the enrollment period; rate shock, part two, will strike in January, as will access shock; young healthies who refused to enroll will start grumbling about the mandate penalty in April; then tremors from within the industry about adverse selection and higher premiums for 2015 will begin shaking newsrooms; and the shadow of small businesses canceling employer-provided coverage will loom over all of it. The GOP got to 261 votes for Fred Upton's "Keep Your Plan Act" last week, but if Democrats get wiped out next November, it's not difficult to foresee 290 — a veto-proof two-thirds majority in the House — for some sort of O-Care rollback measure in early 2015. The Senate will be much harder: Not only would you need a GOP landslide next fall, you'd need even Obama loyalists like Reid and McCaskill, who voted to enact O-Care in the first place, to come around on repeal/rollback over the president's fierce opposition. If things ever did reach a point of such tremendous crisis that 67 votes, at least 10 of which realistically would be Democratic, are in play for repeal, the White House itself would offer some sort of "fix"/rollback that Dems could support for political cover. You'd need a Tunguska-fireball level of disaster for O to ever acquiesce in undoing the law to protect Dems. Highly unlikely — but, given what we've seen in the past month, not impossible.
Exit question via David Frum: Republicans wouldn't actually repeal the Medicaid expansion, would they?

Priest River boys soccer endures pair of early-season losses
Grangeville 9
Priest River 2
The Priest River boys soccer team fell 9-2 against Grangeville in a non-league contest on Aug. 30.
"We had a number of opportunities that didn't quite make it to the back of the net," Priest River head coach Robert Lawler said in an email. "There was a lot of good movement of the ball showing the teamwork this team possesses. We are still working on getting all players healthy and eligible."
Led by Aidon Acton's hat-trick in the first 11 minutes, four different Grangeville players scored against the Spartans. The Bulldogs opened up the scoring and didn't look back; they outshot Priest River 28-12.
Bowen Fegert's pair of goals in the 12th and 39th minute led Priest River. Fegert currently leads the team in assists (two) and is tied with Cameron Bell at two goals apiece.
The Spartans (0-2-0, 0-1-0 IML) travel to Bonners Ferry on Sept. 3. Their next home game is against CDA Charter on Sept. 5 at 7 p.m.

Timberlake 6
Priest River kicked off the season on Aug. 27 with a 6-2 home loss to Timberlake in Intermountain League play.
"The Spartan boys soccer program is limited on numbers, yet determined," Priest River head coach Robert Lawler said in an email. "They were fun to watch and no one can deny the sense of pride they bring to their school and community."
Despite falling behind 5-0, the Spartans chipped away late with two goals in a five-minute span. Bowen Fegert found Cameron Bell on both of the Spartans' goals that night.
