Donna Freedman at MSN Moneyblog wrote a piece highlighting Frugal Dad's post Language of the Perpetually Poor. This post really resonates with me, but not because I myself have spent carelessly and lived outside my means, but because I've been an enabler of that mentality in those I care about.
I come from an extremely close knit extended family. I'm the eldest of four children and have always done my best to take care of them. My middle brother, Jimmy, has had a pretty rough life. He got in with a tough crowd in high school, didn't do well in school and dropped out, was in and out of juvenile detention centers, did drugs, drank, and a whole other laundry list of things.
Over the years, he's gotten his act together. He has worked steadily, kept out of trouble, and met a wonderful woman that I am proud to call my sister. Along with her teenage daughter and their little boy, they've built a family.
In the beginning, they both had jobs and shared living space with her sister. After they had the baby, she quit work and things were tight. Then, Jimmy got a better job and they got a nifty new car (payment). Several months later, Jimmy was doing such a great job, they gave him a raise. They moved out onto their own and got a nifty new (half his take home pay) rent payment. Jimmy got another raise six months later, so they got another car (payment).
Over the last several years, they have steadily upgraded their standard of living with every pay increase, even though they weren't able to afford the current standard of living they had. The marital problems from the stress over money caused a lot of sleepless nights for both of them… and for my husband and I.
For more than two years, Jimmy or his wife would call me and lament that a utility was getting ready to be turned off or they needed groceries for the week. Although I brought up the suggestion that Jimmy's wife get a job, there were so many excuses. "Daycare costs more than I would make." "If I put him in daycare, he'll just be sick all the time and I'll have to leave work to take care of him anyway." "I'm not skilled and can't do anything." I wrote the checks anyway.
I've written checks for utilities, groceries, gas for the cars, auto insurance, and a dozen other excuses. I've hired Jimmy's wife to do jobs I am perfectly capable of doing, just to make sure that my nephew had food and diapers. But then, an amazing thing happened.
They called in December and said that both cars were going to be repossessed in 3 days if they didn't come up with $800 and fast. My husband and I sat down and had a long talk, and then we called and told Jimmy and his wife to come over. We sat them down at the kitchen table with a blank sheet of paper and I wrote down all of their expenses. Then I wrote down his income. They had NO idea that his income was $1000 less every month than what they were sending out the door. $600 of that was for car payments on vehicles that weren't worth it. That was a real shake-up for them and their faces showed it.
We were very frank with Jimmy and his wife. We said we'd write one LAST check to pay off one vehicle completely if they let the other one be repossessed, but with two requirements. First, Jimmy's wife had to get a job and contribute to the family's finances, as there was no real way for him to increase his earnings or decrease their spending. Second, they had to provide us with a plan for keeping this from happening again in the future.
It's been five months and they're doing ok now. They're managing on one car, though it hasn't been easy and they will be purchasing another one soon, without payments! They're both working and are, as they put it, getting into a place where they're comfortable. Their stress levels are considerably lower and the marital problems seem to be easing.
Are you discouraged by your finances?
It can be hard to say no to family. It's something I'm struggling with many times.
Thanks for including me in your article. I've taken some heat over that post because many felt I was putting down poor people. In fact, I was trying to highlight a "poor mentality" that is so rampant in this country. My hope is that if people recognized their language was reflective of their attitudes then both would improve.
I would never put down those who have legitimate struggles, because I have been there myself. In fact, many of us have at one point in our lives or another have wondered how the next bill would get paid, or how the next meal would be purchased.
I'm done lending / giving money to family. Once all loans are paid back, I'm done. I'm tired of being the bank. I'm tired of being the enabler. By making sure I'm the bank, I simply give other family members no reason to ever improve their financial situation.
Good call on cutting these leeches off…. I bet you wish you'd done it much sooner. They would have learned a good lesson long ago, and you'd be quite a bit richer.
Thanks for sharing my post with all of your readers, Gibble! I'm glad you thought it was good enough to post.
@ Llama Money, I understand where you're coming from, but I sure don't think of them as leeches. I just think they had no real concept of what was really going on with their finances. They've made an amazing turn around since being made aware of the real numbers.
@ Frugal Dad – I loved that post. I've been there. Most of my family has never left there. I offered to help my mother create a budget and track their spending. She said "there ain't nothing to budget because there ain't nothing coming in." My stepdad works full time and so does she. You're right about the "poor mentality" and there will never be help for it. So now, I just say no and move on. No use in banging my head on the wall.
@Momma, I think it's great that you were willing/able to help them out with the financial planning AND with the car payment. I'm sure it made it much easier for them to get started, especially having the car.
I have to admit that I have BEEN one of those people in the past. And this year when it all hit the fan, my family would have baled me out but I said no. This time I was going to work through it myself, sink or swim because I needed to change my ways. It has been years since I have borrowed money from family or needed to but I apparently didn't learn as I didn't have an emergency fund when the emergencies started hitting last year. Now, I am building one at all costs and above all else.
I certainly can relate this story with my own experiences, both side of the families, mine and hubby : 'welfare' mentality family members.
The language of the perpetually poor isn't the result of a financial situation. It's the result of a mindset. The mindset often leads to the financial situation, so people regularly confuse the two.
Beautiful post. I loved the post by Frugal Dad and Momma, this is just as good. Thanks for sharing your story!
If I could change one thing about this post I think I'd substitute "broke" for "poor" in the title. I kind of cringed as I followed a link over here because I thought I was going to see welfare-recipient-bashing or something. To me, "broke" connotes "I am making a living, but spending my money unwisely," and isn't remotely the same as being poor. Your mileage may vary.
Thanks for the great post. I think there are a lot of us who have been in a similar situation. I had a family member several years ago who got into financial trouble through a series of bad decisions. The family pitched in to help out, especially because a baby was involved. It's a lot harder to say no when you know there's a child in the picture. Fortunately, my family member was able to get back on track, but it was tough going for awhile … on all of us.
Momma: I guess you wouldn't think of them as leeches – it's certainly very hard to do when you're talking about your own family. From an outside perspective though, that's exactly what is happening. Instead of sucking blood, they're sucking up your money. Or rather, they were. Hopefully they stay "clean" ( and off your endless supply of cash ).
I'm still trying to get my parents to do this with my younger sister. They're nearing retirement and won't be able to because she, at 27, is still depending on them for nearly everything. She's gotten better, I'll give her that, but she knows exactly what she's doing, which is why she doesn't call Sissy for the bailout anymore. Because she knows I won't do it. Which makes me feel doubly guilty because she'll just goto our parents and they will do it, even though they can't afford to.
Wow. What an incredible story! You and your hubby definitely did the right thing and I'm so impressed. I can't stand the "poor" mentality. People don't need to live outside their means…they just think they do.
Although I agree that you shouldn't continually bail out those who choose not to live within their means, I take exception with your automatic insistence that your SIL go get a job.
Did you carefully run the numbers for that? in many cases a person who has been a SAHM will NOT come out ahead of the costs of that peson actually working, but you have to run the numbers using the actual costs of working. Your family might be doing even better if she did reamain at home and they stayed within the bounds of a single income.
You ruin a heartfelt and honest article with your slam on stay at home parenting. Don't blindly accept that both parents working is necessarily the better choice. I cringe when people say things like "she should be contributing" Please! Raising a child IS contributing, and their problem was living above their means, not the fact that one of them was actualy raising their own child.
A lot of people get confused about daycare. Having someone care for your child while you work does not necessarily mean breaking the bank. She could get a part-time job at night while her husband watches the children. She can ask a neighbor or a friend to watch them for far less than an official daycare would cost. She can go to her church, and ask if there is anyone in the congregation who can help. And lest you assume that I don't understand how hard it is to be a stay-at-home mother, I am one. I raise two children while my husband supports us on a military salary. And I have helped more than one military mother get her family on its feet by watching her children at a fraction of the going rate for childcare. Which, by the way, is another way to bring in an income without paying for childcare. I guarantee you she knows someone who would love to pay half price for childcare.
I have a sister who is on social security for her permanent disability, so I understand she can't work because she can't stand, can't lift and cannot walk long distances. This sister just lost her food stamps as they are cutting down on all "expenses" in this state. Fine. She has two dogs, three cats and a partridge in a pear tree. Just kidding about the bird. Just the first two sets of animals. She can't afford to feed herself due to the animals' food and vet budget eating up the rest of her leftover money after bills. She insists on having phone service with long distance as well as internet. She needs neither. I did get her a pay as you go cell phone for her birthday and she hasn't bothered putting any minutes on it with her birthday money. She will not give up the animals and she is not going to be able to make her payment for the phone/internet this month. I told her to get dial-up, as she doesn't need cable internet. She said she couldn't, it was a "package" deal. I said you just get local phone service and use that for internet. Couldn't do that either. I said if you want to have extra money every month, sounds to me like you need to unload those animals you can't take care of. She says I can't, I have to have my pets. Ok, I told her, since you won't economize and you won't sacrifice some things, I guess you're going to starve and have no phone or internet. I told her I give up trying to help you, as you won't take my advice and there's always an excuse. I told her the only way she was going to be hearing from me is by mail until she can get her finances straight and figure out that I'm not wasting my time with her mentality anymore.
I can totally relate to this story! My husband is the eldest of 5 children, and has taken care of his Mom and the rest of the family since he was 15. Siblings are in a constant state of crisis … with a new story each time something happens.
When I came into my husband's life, we knew things had to change, as there was no way we could start a family if he continually was rescuing his siblings based on their own poor choices. The process was totally painful — as we weaned them off of our money, they became totally resentful. That was the first clue that things were really off balance — instead of saying "thanks for the tens of thousands of dollars throughout the years," they stopped talking to us. But with time, we reconnected, and things are healthier now.
I will say that in any situation like this, there are two enablers — the person giving has as much blame as the one asking. It can be intoxicating to be the one who rescues and holds the purse strings.
But in the long run, it never helps to bail someone out more than once. To use a tired metaphor, teach em to fish.
The poor think differently about money. Their poverty mentality is often passed down generationally. Often, there's the thought that because my parents were poor, I'll remain poor also. Poor folks often live from crisis to crisis, and usually have not been taught or simply don't make the connection between concepts of budgeting (there's so little money it seems like a useless endeavor), or delaying their gratification by saving (they may not know when they'll have the cash in hand again, so it seems reasonable to splurge when doing without is the norm). Not only does an education process have to take place so they can understand the relevance of concepts that other income earners take for granted, but there also must be a retraining in the self talk they feed themselves about money. One to one relationships with caring, patient, higher income people mentoring them will change their thinking and behavior about money. Studying what God's Word says about prosperity and what is available to them through Christ will help them immensely. I know this because I've been raising my children as a single parent, living under poverty guidelines. Little by little, making thought and lifestyle changes have made it possible for the Lord to prosper me. Glory to God, the Word works!
I think the amazing thing in this story is how you and your husband sat down with them and helped them to see what was coming in and what was going out and helped them come up with a budget that worked for them.
Sometimes that is really what people need — someone who is willing to take the time to explain something. I know there are issues in my life that would really benefit from this (decluttering and cleaning is where I need help).
I do agree with the poster who questioned your opinions on being a stay-at-home parent. Putting a child in daycare and getting a traditional job is not always the best solution, financially or for the child, and there are a variety of possibilities one could consider instead (getting a job from home, parents working at different times, taking in children, etc.).
I guess I should address the two comments regarding the requirement that my sister in law get a job and contribute to the family's finances in order for us to help them out. I, in no way, implied that being a stay at home mom wasn't contributing. In their circumstance, AFTER doing their expenses and budget, it was necessary for her to get a job in order for them to get back on their feet financially. Period. It had nothing to do with her contribution or lack thereof to the family unit.. only the bank balance.
Yes, we ran the numbers both ways. Yes, it made more sense for her to get a job. At the risk of making the post too long, I cut out the bit where I reminded my sister in law and brother that they have me, my mother and stepfather, my husband, my teenaged daughters, my sister in law's sister and father, all here and ready and willing to help pick up the slack if she needed help with childcare.
I'm sorry that it came across as though I made a demand on their life and condemned her for being a stay at home mom. That's not quite how it went.
That was a great story and you did the perfect thing to help them. One thing she could do is work from home, like doing childcare herself. By saving commuting and her own childcare she would/could make enough money to really help make up the difference. My daughter-in-law did that for several years and paid most of their bills this way.
Meggan, you are not understanding how disability is however. Your sister has her pets as her "companions" her family and when you are home all the time your tv and internet is the only entertainment you get and the only way you can stay in touch with the outside world. I am on social security disability too and the money is verrrry meager. With only 650 a month and help with food stamps, food pantrys, federal housing assistance, I barely survive. She may be able to get a discount phone as I have here. In Kc,mo they call it lifeline. It is a discount rate for people on social security and they go by your income. She can also qualify for state or county assistance with house cleaning and personal care.
You have to understand, when you become disabled you lose EVERYTHING! You watch as you are waiting (sometimes years) to qualify for disabilty, and you sell or lose all your assets, all your lifes dreams and aspirations, all your hobbys even. You either can't do them or can't afford them. People don't call and visit much when you are disabled. They kind of forget about you. She needs the internet so she can keep in touch with people. Spend a couple of hours researching and putting yourself in her shoes and you will understand better.

Q: Set div to hidden, then visible after time delay I'm trying to have a yellow square appear on a black background after X amount of time (perhaps even after a random amount of time, but for now let's just do fixed time).

function initialSetup() {
  if (document.getElementById("yellow") != null) {
    document.getElementById('yellow').style.visibility = 'hidden';
    setTimeout("document.getElementById('yellow').style.visibility = 'visible'", 2000);
  }
.box {
  width: 50px;
  height: 50px;
}
.yellow {
  background: yellow;
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;
  transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}
body {
  background-color: black;
}

This code should hide the yellow square initially, then reveal it after 2 seconds. But it does not work. It also does not work when I try to use a button to initiate the javascript function. I've looked at other examples and compared my code to theirs and it seems like it should work!
https://jsfiddle.net/xxPoLyGLoTxx/51spg8d1/

A: Firstly your syntax is missing a }. Secondly, to follow best practice you should provide setTimeout with a function reference. Your current code will be invoked via eval() which should be avoided at all costs. Thirdly, you need to use backgroundColor, not color, to set the element background. Lastly, you don't call intitialSetup() anywhere. With those issues in mind, try this:

function initialSetup() {
  if (document.getElementById("yellow") != null) {
    document.getElementById('yellow').style.backgroundColor = 'black';
    setTimeout(function() {
      document.getElementById('yellow').style.backgroundColor = 'yellow'
    }, 2000);
  }
}

initialSetup();
.box {
  width: 50px;
  height: 50px;
}
.yellow {
  background: yellow;
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;
  transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}
body {
  background-color: black;
}

Note that with this logic you're not making the yellow div hidden - as your title implies. It's only not immediately obvious as you've changed its background colour to match the black background of the body. If you want to make the element completely invisible, use the display property. You can also set it in CSS to avoid a FOUC when the page loads:

function initialSetup() {
  if (document.getElementById("yellow") != null) {
    setTimeout(function() {
      document.getElementById('yellow').style.display = 'block';
    }, 2000);
  }
}

initialSetup();
.box {
  width: 50px;
  height: 50px;
}
.yellow {
  background: yellow;
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;
  transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
  display: none;
}
body {
  background-color: black;
}

Finally, here's a jQuery implementation of the above as you've tagged the question as such:

$(function() {
  setTimeout(function() {
    $('#yellow').show()
  }, 2000);
});
.box {
  width: 50px;
  height: 50px;
}
.yellow {
  background: yellow;
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;
  transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
  display: none;
}
body {
  background-color: black;
}

A: setTimeout() Syntax
The setTimeout() function actually expects a function to be passed to it as opposed to a string :
setTimeout(function(){
   document.getElementById('yellow').style.visibility = 'visible';
}, 2000);

Additionally, instead of hiding it through Javascript, you might consider just applying a CSS style to handle it being hidden by default (i.e. display: none) and then simply  showing it within the body of your setTimeout() function call.
Example

function initialSetup() {
  if (document.getElementById("yellow") != null) {
    document.getElementById('yellow').style.visibility = 'hidden';
    setTimeout(function() {
      document.getElementById('yellow').style.visibility = 'visible';
    }, 2000);
  }
}

initialSetup();
.box {
  width: 50px;
  height: 50px;
}
.yellow {
  background: yellow;
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;
  transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}
body {
  background-color: black;
}

A: Try This
function initialSetup() {
            if (document.getElementById("yellow") !== null) {
                document.getElementById('yellow').style.visibility = 'hidden';
                setTimeout(function () {
                    document.getElementById('yellow').style.visibility = 'visible';
                }, 2000);
            }
        }

If I do /whois on some user which is not existing, Colloquy opens the info window for that user, and then gives me a dialog about the user not being online repeatedly (every 10th second or so) until I close the info window for the user.
Also seems to happen if the /whois on a user which is just offline.
Around every 10 seconds, the whois window refreshes to update the information you see, like the idle-time and such. By doing this, it also can check to see if a user is online yet, thus causing error-messages constantly. I don't really know if this is considered a bug or not. But if it is, I'd be asking for it to not refresh after discovering the user is offline.
No longer an issue in the latest nightly.

Hotels.com Welcome Rewards "enhancements" announced
Airlines are in on the Fuel Dump game in a...
Updates to the British Airways program coming soon
British Airways has announced a number of changes to their loyalty scheme this week. While some of the reactions have been overwhelmingly negative, I see things slightly differently. Yes, there are some changes that will devalue the points for some members. But there are other changes that are surprisingly positive. Going forward, the program is skewing heavily in favor of members residing in the UK or Europe at the expense of members pretty much everywhere else.
So what are the big changes?
For starters, the points now have a new name: Avios. Not points, not miles, but Avios. Yeah, that's stupid, but in the grand scheme of things doesn't really matter.
More significantly, the single partner award chart is going away. This chart represents the most valuable awards for folks outside of the UK and Europe so it is understandable that it will be a tremendous downgrade for those customers. In many cases it appears that award costs are increasing by 2-3x assuming they keep the existing for BA/multi-partner awards. That hurts. I've previously suggested that the single partner awards between North and South America or North America and SE Asia are a great deal, particularly with the lack of YQ fuel surcharges on those carriers. Seeing that award increase from 80K in business class to 180K sucks pretty badly.
So that's the bad news. But what about the good news? If you live in the UK and outside of London there is one rather significant benefit coming. Onward flights between London and the Regional airports will no longer carry a surcharge for redemptions. That's a rather nice bit of relief for those members.
Additionally, if you are traveling within Europe the fees for redemptions are mostly going down. With the variety of taxes and fuel surcharges the airlines charge in Europe it is not uncommon for award prices to be comparable to revenue ticker prices. The new scheme will fix those costs at £27 for a return trip. That's a pretty good deal.
Also, with the exception of Tel Aviv, most destinations in the Europe/Mediterranean region are staying level or decreasing in redemption costs. Again, a move that is heavily favored towards the folks in Europe, but it is a positive change.
Finally, there are some other bits like points expiry extending to 36 months after the last activity rather than 24 months as currently.
Overall, the impact of these changes would seem to depend on where you're living. If you live in the United States and are sitting on a large stash of BA points, now is a pretty good time to look at unloading them, Maybe the Brits have finally decided to get their payback for that little Revolutionary War thing.

United snags Virgin Australia as a partner, displacing Delta
Virgin Australia and United Airlines secured a new partnership for connections between the United States and Australia. The deal, effective from April 2022, sees Delta Air Lines drop from the role it held over the past decade.
Nybanker says:
Tatl traffic to lhr from JFK is going DOWN 20% for all cabins! That is great news.
These changes are bad for someone looking to fly yyz-hkg on BA points, but pretty good for many (most?) people.
Seth says:
I know why they had to pick a name that means nothing. Especially as it also applies to the non-airline shopping program that they also run it makes sense. Still silly to me.
As for just how many people win or lose, I will take the stand that more win. Perhaps fewer in the USA, but more overall.
Thanks for taking a more balanced view of things in your posts. A number of posters are focused on what certainly must be a small percentage of ba's overall redemptions.
Re Avios, as BA is really BA+IB, they needed to pick a word that was pronounceable in both home countries – and offensive in hopefully no countries. Branding is getting tougher and tougher!
I'll probably count myself as a loser on this one. Living in Boston with 120k-ish BA miles from the Chase BA card and an MR transfer w/bonus. May need to quickly plan an AA trip to LatAm.
I'd definitely cash out in our situation, Dave. Consider LAN for South America, too. You'd have to get down to NYC on your own but the product is supposed to be pretty solid and they include Easter Island as part of their regular South America awards. Add on a stopover in SCL and you can have quite a nice trip.
eds183 says:
It sounds like the new chart will be distance based instead of region based for single airline redemptions. Until we see what the distance numbers are going to be for US-Asia/South America, I am not going to get too excited.
Seth – saying that awards are going up to 2x – 3x is unfair given at this point we have not seen the chart. Let's at least wait and see how it comes out.
Fair point, Phil, and I thought I originally wrote it a bit more cautious than I actually had so I've added a few words to couch my phrasing a bit better.
But unless they significantly change the zone/distance-based charts from what currently exists for multi-partner awards it isn't pretty. JFK-SCL is 80K on a single partner or 180K on multi-partner based on the distance covered. That is a pretty significant increase and there is no indication that they're going to make that band substantially cheaper. JFK-SYD would go from 160K to 200K and JFK-HKG would go from 100K to 200K.
The single partner award chart is a pot of gold in their program for a number of regions. Losing it and switching to miles-based is likely going to hurt a lot of folks. But those are also mostly the folks in the USA who are not the target market that BA is going after. Not too much harm in marginalizing them. Especially with the ATI that allows full accrual on AA for those customers it doesn't make a ton of sense for BA to be going after that market segment.
Yes, it sucks if you've been hoarding BA points. But that's just a good example of why hoarding is bad, not of why airlines are evil or stupid.
I think the 24 months might have been limited to the AirMiles scheme rather than BAEC. I suppose that's just another way things are getting better for the Brits.
Well most people knew that giving that 100% accrual all fares on AA and BA flights was going to cause some changes somewhere.
If the milage based changes are as bad as you suspect, then the value of MR point keeps going down.
So my ~26k Executive Club points can no longer be used for a saver domestic ticket on AA?
For at least the next 10 weeks you can still redeem them at the current rates, Matt. We do not know the full details of the new partner charts but it could get ugly. Hopefully they'll get some more specifics out soon.
"points expiry extending to 36 months after the last activity rather than 24 months as currently."
Actually it's currently 36 months, and has been so for awhile.
https://www.britishairways.com/travel/ecterms/execclub/_gf/en_us
". If a Member has not earned or redeemed Mileage or purchased or transferred Mileage in accordance with the appropriate Conditions of Use for 36 consecutive months, all Mileage that has accrued to that date will expire."
For me, it's all about "don't P*ss in my ear and tell me it's raining".
Just like the Zimbabwe bank printing money causes bread ot cost astronomically more, the same thing goes for airline miles. Astronomical amount of mile printing going on.
Raise the redemption rates? Fine, just give me some notice.
Tell me it's a good thing and release information selectively, well, that's not good if you know of bad stuff but aren't telling me. And waiting a couple months to tell us (per the BA rep's response to the points guy) is BS.
What Barry said.
Guess Chase might see quite a few people drop their BA cards going forward. I know my household will cancel two (too bad we just paid the increased annual fee upon renewal).
Time to go flight shopping.

Spent the past three weeks in Deerfield Beach Florida preparing for my trip to Europe.
This has been my situation until I leave. I spend most of my day sitting in the backyard of my parents house saving my money and contacting venues in Europe to perform at.
I arrive in Berlin on April first and will be there for the entire month of April until I move on to Amsterdam. So far I have 3 shows booked in Berlin and my new album Power will be dropping any day now.
I've also begun writing my second novel which takes place in Europe (part of the reason for the trip).

Q: Possible to sum several intervals without using multiple sumifs? I am putting together a financial statement in Excel where I get my data from a trial balance that has a column with account numbers (named 'Account') and a column with amounts (named 'Amount').
For the line item revenue in the financial statement I want the sum of the amounts that are booked in the accounts numbered from 3199 to 3990. I use the formula:
SUMIFS(Amount, Account, ">=3199"; Account; "<=3990")
And this works perfectly.
However, for the line item cost of sales I have several account intervals. I want the sum of the accounts 7210-7299 and 7336-7394 and, ..., etc. If I use SUMIFS(Amount, Account, ">=7210", Account, "<=7299", Account, ">=7336", Account, "<=7394), it will return zero as these are overlapping criterias. I can of course put each account interval in a seperate SUMIF-formula. But is there a less tedious way I can do this? Is there a way to treat each interval  seperately/isolated in the same formula?

A: Depending on your account structure here are a couple of tips to possibly shrink your formula:
use wildcards: ...Account,"72*"...
use an array (with sum wrap): sum(sumifs(..., Account, {"72*", "73*"})
Hope this gives you some ideas.
--- edit ---
Additionally, you could just create a helper column to that has the account groupings, then sumifs using the helper column.
--- edit 2 ---
just saw your header of no multiple sumifs so moved this down here for others to see
use multiple sumifs: sumifs(...)+sumifs(...) or sum(...)-sumifs(...), etc.

A: Put the pairs of upper and lower limits into a pair of hard-coded arrays and SUM the SUMIFS.
 =SUM(SUMIFS(B:B, A:A, ">="&{7210,7336}, A:A, "<="&{7299,7394}))
                             ^^^^ ^^^^              ^^^^ ^^^^
                         lower boundaries        upper boundaries

Add another set (e.g. 8000-8200) like this,
 =SUM(SUMIFS(B:B, A:A, ">="&{7210,7336,8000}, A:A, "<="&{7299,7394,8200}))

A: Simple SUMPRODUCT with multiple criteria fixes the issue:

*

*Formual in Cell C48:
=SUMPRODUCT(((B$33:B$47>=7210)*(B$33:B$47<=7299)+(B$33:B$47>=7336)*(B$33:B$47<=7394))*(C$33:C$47))

N.B.

*

*Multiple criteria for the same Column needs + sign.

*Adjust cell references in the formula as needed.

A: Formula
=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(Account_Number, okAccounts, Value))

Where

*

*Account_Number is the list of account numbers

*okAccounts is a range that holds every account number you want to include in your sum

*Value is the list of values that correspond to Account_Number
How it works
Because okAccounts is a range, SUMIF evaluates for every cell in the range. It returns an array of values for each cell in okAccounts. SUMPRODUCT() accepts an array as input, and returns the sum of all of the array values. You'll see this in action if you use the Evaluate Formula tool on the formula.

The only downside of this approach is that you need to enumerate every valid account number, but I think it's easier than building complicated lists of valid ranges.
I used FormulaChop to write this example formula and generate this screenshot. (Full Disclosure: I wrote FormulaChop).
Edit
I thought about it more and realized it would be nice to have a formula to enumerate all of the values in a range. So I wrote one:
=IF(Range_Start+(ROW() - ROW(First_Cell)) <= Range_End, Range_Start+(ROW() - ROW(First_Cell)), "")

Where

*

*Range_Start is the start of the range (e.g. 7210)

*Range_End is the end of the range (e.g. 7299)

*First_Cell is the locked address of the first cell in the column of enumerated values

STATE HOUSE – Sen. Sandra Cano (D-Dist. 8, Pawtucket) will be appointed chairperson of the Senate Committee on Education for the 2021-2022 session, Senate President Dominick J. Ruggerio announced at a Senate Democratic Caucus last week.
Senator Cano will become the first Latina committee chairperson in the Senate's history with the appointment, which would be made after the Senate convenes in January for its new session.
"To be named as the chairwoman for the Senate Education Committee is a true honor and I thank President Ruggerio and my colleagues for their support and confidence in me to lead this important committee. It is no secret that our educational system in Rhode Island is in need of reform, and when combined with the devastating effects of COVID-19, there is much work to be done in order to guarantee our children the proper education that they rightfully deserve," said Senator Cano.
During her tenure in the legislature, Senator Cano has focused extensively on educational issues, such as her sponsorship of legislation mandating financial literacy be taught to students and her membership on the Senate Education Funding Formula task force.
Senator Cano, an assistant vice president at Navigant Credit Union, was first elected to the Rhode Island Senate on April 3, 2018 in a special election. She is a former at-large councilwoman for the City of Pawtucket and a former member of the Pawtucket School Committee.

"UFC on FOX: Velasquez vs. Dos Santos" Video Highlights
Written by 5thRound.com Staff
The Octagon's primetime television debut has come and gone, as "UFC on FOX" saw a new heavyweight champion get crowned. Junior dos Santos (Pictured) needed only 64 seconds to dethrone Cain Velasquez to capture the sport's most coveted belt.
A visibly tentative Velasquez never utilized his much-talked about wrestling skills to neutralize the challenger's one-punch knockout power.
Now a perfect 8-0 inside the Octagon, dos Santos will wait and see who gets first crack at his freshly-minted hardware.
Former champ Brock Lesnar will take on Alistair Overeem at UFC 141 on December 30th to determined the No. 1 contender to "Cigano's" crown. Although he didn't want to pick a winner, dos Santos believes Lesnar will be his next opponent.
"UFC on FOX" took place inside the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. UFC president Dana White estimated that 60 million people in Brazil watched dos Santos knockout Velasquez.

CK Gallery
By Michael Singman-Aste
Pass through a picturesque courtyard, climb the wooden stairs entwined with vines and emerge on a sunlit patio. Charlotte Kubiak sits on a bench outside her CK Gallery, sipping coffee. Like many idyllic locations, the spot would be easy to miss, tucked away at 4125 Piedmont Ave. "In the summer it's even better," says Kubiak, "with plants everywhere, the hummingbirds are going here all day long."
Since opening its doors in October 2011, CK Gallery has explored topics from passion to politics. "INFLUENCE: Art can Change the World" featured the prints of Emory Douglas, the former minister of culture for the Black Panther Party, an influential artist with international recognition. In addition to such heavy hitters, Kubiak has gathered the cream of the crop from Oakland's Jingletown and neighboring Alameda.
"I'm trying to combine emerging and completely unknown artists, mid-career artists and very well established," she says. "Everybody's basically showing only well-established artists who sell, and the same artists are seen everywhere. A new artist has no chance to come into the art scene; never has a chance to be seen in a gallery setting." An artist herself, she knows this from firsthand experience.
Kubiak wants her gallery to be accessible not only to artists, but to the community as well. "When you come into a gallery, and you need a bachelor's degree to understand the art, I think there is something a little wrong with it," she says. "So I'm trying to focus on having art in my gallery which appeals to people who know art very well, but also the general public can understand it." Because of the broad appeal, Kubiak claims, "I can say that every single person who enters my gallery can find something they like." With work priced at $35 and up, as well as offering an installment plan, they may even be able to purchase it.
CK Gallery, 4125 Piedmont Ave, (510) 759-2535, www.ckgallery.org, is open 2–6 p.m. Wed.-Fri. and 10 a.m.–2 p.m. Sat. The gallery stays open until 9 p.m. on the third Thursday of each month for the Piedmont Art Walk.

James Oody, left, son George, wife Christa and daughter Hannah are using a contest prize they won through the Chicago Automobile Trade Association and the USO of Illinois to hold a Sept. 22 block party for their Elgin neighborhood.
A military family who won a backyard barbecue bash has decided to turn the gathering into a block party for their Elgin neighborhood.
Christa Oody said she entered her husband, James, in an online contest put on by the Chicago Automobile Trade Association and USO of Illinois.
"I thought it would be a neat surprise if he won. I asked James' mom, Janice, to nominate him as well," Oody said.
The contest was related to the two organizations' sixth annual USO Barbecue for the Troops fundraising initiative this summer.
In her contest entry, Oody wrote, "Like all service members, James sacrificed so much and carries the burden of war."
James Oody, an auto/diesel technician, joined the Wisconsin Army National Guard shortly after 9/11. Over the years, he's been deployed three times, doing tours in Kuwait for a year, Iraq for a year and Afghanistan for a little less than a year.
"James has always been a combat medic, but this last time around (in 2017) he was a flight medic, so it seems like he saw a lot more," Christa Oody said.
The prizes included food for 50 provided by Real Urban Barbecue, a meet and greet for 50 with former Chicago Blackhawks player Brian Campbell and a race experience for the family at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet.
James Oody said he didn't want to make the barbecue about about him, preferring to share it with others.
"So we are hosting a block party where we are asking everyone who comes to bring a dish to share and their own drinks," Christa Oody said.
The family is paying for barricades and permits for the gathering, which will take place from noon to 6 p.m. Sept. 22 on Marguerite Street, between Orange and Morgan streets.
Christa Oody said an Elgin police squad and a fire truck will be swinging by the event. Elgin VFW Post 1307 is bringing food and information for veterans and True Patriots Care will have a display of American flags.
Puente Party Rentals is donating a bouncy house for the day and USTAR Booth is donating a photo booth, with proceeds from the pictures taken going to the USO's United Through Reading Campaign. The reading campaign allows soldiers stationed away from their families to make videos of themselves reading books for their children, Christa Oody said.
"James did that for our two children," she said.
And while James Oody enjoys grilling steaks and pan frying catfish, "we will be leaving the food to Real Urban Barbecue while we enjoy the day," Christa Oody said.

Refounding Labour
Refounding Labour – A golden opportunity
written by Barry
Image by Getty Images via @daylife
The Labour Party is going through something of a self-examination and doing something that I consider pretty fundamental is we are to move on from the 2010 election. There is internal consultation of the membership to work out how we can grow as a party and become a strong, robust and electable in the eyes of the voting public.
I have to admit that in the run up to the last election, it has been really hard not having a solid manifesto to build on. This has been down to Ed Miliband not wanting to rush into producing just any policies, but wanting to do the reviews properly and come up with a solid set that everyone can get behind and push on with. I completely understand that, but it didn't really help on the doorstep when people are asking Labour Policy on big issues.
That said, I do think this is the right way to do it, given we really do not expect an election before the end of this year at the earliest, it is better to use the time effectively and come up with something robust and sensible.
One of the good moves is a paper by Peter Hain MP called Refounding Labour, which has a very honest review of our party as it is now and finishes with 4 major questions that we need to answer as a party of we are to move on in a successful way. We have dedicated one of our Local GC meetings to it, where I ran a workshop style event to come up with a response from Gloucester CLP, and responses are also invited from individual members too. The questions have ranged from topics covering increasing membership, to the development of policy and how to get grass-roots voices heard. What I have also done, is get some of my non-Labour friends to have a look at it and see what they think and that has proved very useful too.
I think its things like this that will make Labour a strong and electable party again, not short-term quick wins, but getting a credible message, that has substance and depth and I know I keep harking on about it, but a message that people can trust in, and therefore trust us with their vote.
Of course, as with anything, the proof will be in what is done with the results, and how quickly we see change, if any. But I also hope that CLPs have also taken this as an oppotunity to look at how they act locally, and use it as a basis for engaging with local membership too, this is such an opportunity to move forward and re-engage with not only the public, but the membership too!

Robert Redfield (4 de Dezembro de 1897 - 16 de Outubro de 1958) foi um antropólogo, sociólogo e etnolinguísta americano. Teórico do organicismo positivista, foi um dos primeiros a estudar o fenômeno da aculturação. Dirige seus estudos a uma síntese interdisciplinar que inclui também a arqueologia, linguística, etnologia, folclore... Seu grande parceiro de estudos na Universidade de Chicago foi o professor Milton Singer, polonês naturalizado norte-americano.

Biografia
Formou-se na Universidade de Colorado - Boulder em Comunicações e obtém seu doutorado em Antropologia Cultural, começando a lecionar em 1927. Depois de uma série de estudos de campo em comunidades camponesas mexicanas (Tepoztlán em Morelos e Chan Kom em Yucatán), em 1953 ele publica The Primitive World and its Transformation (O Mundo Primitivo e suas Transformações e em 1956, Peasant Society and Culture (Sociedade Camponesa e Cultura), ele dirige seus estudos a uma síntese interdisciplinar que inclui também a arqueologia, linguística, etnologia.

Em 1955, enquanto realizava suas pesquisas no campesinato mexicano, Redfield observa que havia sido treinado para investigar a sociedade enquanto uma cultura isolada. Entretanto encontrava pessoas envolvidas no comércio e encontrava conexões entre estas pequenas comunidades e os Estados. Assim como percebia que a cultura destas vilas não eram delimitadas, e que suas crenças e práticas não eram isoladas. Assim entende Redfield que não fazia sentido estudar comunidades e pessoas como se fossem entidades isoladas, mas sim numa perspectiva mais ampla. Tradicionalmente antropólogos estudam seus objetos apenas como pequenas tradições, mas estas seriam melhor entendidas numa perspectiva mais ampla. Redfield foi eleito para a Academia Norte Americana de Artes e Ciências em 1950 (http://www.amacad.org/publications/BookofMembers/ChapterR.pdf Book of Members, 1780-2010: Chapter R| American Academy of Arts and Sciences| em 20 Abril 2011).

Robert Redfield e sua esposa Margaret são pais de Lisa Redfield Peattie, Professora Emerita, Department of Urban Planning, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; de James M. Redfield, professor de literatura cleassica na Universidade de Chicago e Joanna Redfield Gutmann (1930–2009). Os escritos de Robert Redfield e de sua esposa Margaret Redfield se encontram na Special Collections Research Center da biblioteca da Universidade de Chicago.

A couple of weeks ago I was in Orlando covering the American College of Cardiology meeting and one of the "big stories" was a report from Salim Yusuf about the efficacy of a five-drug polypill. I don't think I can recall a clinical trial in which Yusuf was PI that wasn't a big buzz story, so I can't say that I was blind-sided by the media frenzy that accompanied the generally positive findings from the study. But I was surprised by some of the reactions among the cardiology establishment, read ACC and AHA.
Bob Bonow had the best line -- "There already is a polypill. It's called exercise."
And Bonow wasn't alone in questioning the need for a polypill in primary prevention, as one after another the leading lights of American cardiology lined-up with critical comments such as "you can't titrate a polypill," "this will undermine lifestyle initiatives," and so on. Yusuf threw a log on that fire when he said worse case scenario would be if polypills were offered as a side with cheeseburgers or if every pack of Marlboros was sold with a coupon for polypills.
But another camp -- this one mostly inhabited by the rank-and-file cardiologists and cardiovascular nurses who filled the seats in the plenary hall -- had a more sanguine approach. Lifestyle, they said, doesn't work. "We can't get people to change bad habits, so a polypill makes sense."
That made me think about how often I've heard that same sentiment from both leading researchers and in-the-trenches docs: lifestyle interventions don't work.
Really? How often do clinicians actually try a lifestyle intervention. I, mean, how often do doctors talk to patients about quitting smoking, losing weight, increasing exercise, eating a healthy diet, getting sufficient sleep, and so on?
I was what I consider an Olympic class smoker, which means about 1.5 packs per day for more than 20 years. Three times I quit smoking for at least 9 months -- their names are Melissa, Tim, and Amanda. But when I wasn't pregnant or nursing, I was flicking my Bic and lighting up Virginia Slims Menthol 100s.
During my smoking career, not one of my treating physicians ever told me to quit smoking. Not one. I finally became a non-smoker (notice I don't say quit because in my nicotine-addled brain quitting implied that I would start again) on August 31, 1994. I made the transition because I was so embarrassed by my habit that I couldn't continue.
As for diet and exercise, no doctor has ever asked me about my daily regimens.
That gestalt moment came to me in a hallway media consult at the ACC.
A handful of reporters, myself included, were chatting up Yale's Harlan Krumholz when a reporter from a newspaper that shall go unnamed (but can often be found on the floor outside your hotel room door) observed "diet and exercise, everyone knows no one follows those recommendations" to which each of us sagely nodded.
But I stopped mid-nod and thought, "hold the phone, when did my doctor ever recommend diet and exercise or even ask about diet and exercise?"
Hello, I thought, the answer to that would be a big Never.
Now, comes the limitation -- in my case when I see my excellent internist who works at one of the nation's citadels of medical marvels (I live in Cleveland, you could Google it) I freely offer information about my current exercise regimen and diet, so I might be answering questions that the doc intended to ask, but I jumped the gun.
That said, I'm still wondering ... how often do doctors confront patients about bad habits and work with the patient on a diet and exercise intervention?

Сър Албърт Хейстингс Маркам () е английски адмирал и полярен изследовател.

Ранни години (1841 – 1875)
Роден е на 11 ноември 1841 година в Банер дьо Бигор, Франция, пети син в семейството на флотския капитан Джон Маркам. Детството си прекарва на остров Гърнси, а на 13-годишна възраст е изпратен на обучение в Лондон.

През 1856 г. постъпва във военноморски флот и първите си осем години плава покрай бреговете на Китай, Индия и Африка. През 1864 се завръща в Англия вече като лейтенант. След това е назначен като трети помощник-капитан на кораба "Виктория", с който четири години крайсерува във водите на Средиземно море.

През 1868 г. става първи лейтенант на кораба "Бланш", който е изпратен край бреговете на Австралия за ограничаване на незаконната търговия с роби от Тихоокеанските острови. През 1869 изработва проект за държавно знаме на Нова Зеландия, който е одобрен и сегашното знаме на страната е същото изработено от него.

Експедиционна дейност (1875 – 1876)
През 1875 – 1876 участва като заместник-командир в експедицията на Джордж Нерс, като капитан на кораба "Алерт" (550 т), с който на 26 август 1875 г. в море Линкълн достига в свободно плаване до 82º 24' с.ш., рекорд надминат едва пред 1896 г. На 12 май 1876 г. ръководената от него група в опита си за достигане на Северния полюс със ски достига до 83º 20' 26" с.ш. През лятото на 1876 г. корабите се освобождават от ледовете и през септември се завръщат в Англия.

Следващи години (1876 – 1918)
След завръщането си от Арктика е повишен в чин капитан-лейтенант. От 1879 до 1882 е капитан на кораба "Триумф", с който плава в Тихия океан. През 1879 извършва плаване в акваторията на о-вите Нова Земя.

През 1883 г. става капитан на кораба "Върнън", на който се провеждат изпитите на морското торпедно училище в Портсмут. През 1886 изследва ледовата обстановка в залива Хъдсън с цел развиване на риболова в залива.

От 1886 до 1889 командва Британската учебна ескадра. На 14 май 1888 е назначен за военноморски адютант на кралица Виктория.

На 1 август 1891 г. е произведен в чин контраадмирал и на 20 мат 1892 е назначен за командващ Британския Средиземноморски флот.

През 1894 г. се жени и има една дъщеря. На 1 ноември 1901 става командващ на британския военноморски флот отбраняващ Лондон и източните брегове на Англия. На 21 януари 1903 е произведен в пълен адмирал и на 9 ноември същата година му е присъдено рицарско звание. На 11 ноември 1906 се пенсионира, като по време на Първата световна война предлага услугите си на Адмиралтейството, но те са отхвърлени.

В продължение на дълги години е член на съвета на Кралското географско дружество.

Умира на 28 октомври 1918 година в Лондон на 76-годишна възраст.

I recently found a good way to use all my odd socks (although I had to reach for the sock drawers to get more!). Put your glasses or other fragile items inside socks to prevent them from knocking each other. You could also use pants, t-shirts, tea towels, etc. Basically, you don't need to buy bubble wrap!

Hello lovelies. Today's outfit is one of my current favourites and a really easy go-to outfit for some comfy style.
I'm rather aware that this outfit is almost head to toe Primark but I've been really impresed with their summer pieces this year! Maxi dresses are so comfy and easy to wear on hot summer days and the tie dye print gives it more of a grungy feel which I love.
What are you wearing in the heat this summer?
what a beautiful dress, love it !!

The UCL Centre for Languages & International Education (CLIE) and the specialist language departments offer excellent modern language-learning aids such as computers, video and satellite links.
We offer access to state-of-the-art facilities, enhanced by our strong affiliation to other centres of excellence such as the London Centre for Nanotechnology.
This programme is offered either as a three-year BSc or as a four-year MSci. The first two years of study are identical, so you can defer which to opt for until the end of your second year. We advise you to select the four-year MSci programme initially as this keeps more options open. You do not have the opportunity to study abroad on the BSc programme.
The chemistry content directly follows that of the single-subject Chemistry programme. You will cover the full range of chemistry core components, together with optional modules in chemistry and other options from outside the department.
Around 25% of your time will be centred around CLIE and the specialist language departments, providing a continuous progression of language and related modules. The language component is taught in small groups with common levels of fluency ranging from complete beginners to experts.
In the final year you will also undertake a compulsory literature project.

Your learning will combine lectures, practical classes and group workshops. In addition you will attend tutorials in groups of four to six students which provide specialised support for the core modules.
Each module will usually involve at least two methods of assessment. These may include coursework (problem sheets, essays or poster presentations), an examination, or laboratory classes. We believe in providing feedback to students, such as face-to-face marking in laboratories. Your third-year project will be assessed through a written report.
Detailed course descriptions are available on the department website: Chemistry with a European Language BSc.
As a UCL Chemistry graduate you will have developed both discipline-based and highly sought after analytical skills, for example in logical thought and numeracy.
On completion of your degree you will have the obvious option of pursuing a career within the chemical industry. This is recognised as one of the most exciting and successful contributors to the UK economy, for example in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and nanotechnology sectors.
Many recent graduates have continued in research at universities including PhDs at UCL, Imperial, Oxford, Cambridge, Bristol, Edinburgh, Harvard, Manchester and NUS Singapore.
Our graduates are in great demand in many other fields such as management, the financial sector, information technology, scientific journalism, patent law, the scientific civil service, and in education.
UCL Chemistry offers a number of scholarships, including the Bader Bursaries, GSK Bursary, UCL Chemistry Entrance Scholarships and the Kathleen Lonsdale Bursary.
Together with essential academic requirements, we are looking for strong evidence in your personal statement of your interest in the subject and your understanding of it. These requirements may be evidenced by examples of project work, relevant work experience or, perhaps, through your knowledge of current events involving chemistry. We also look for your ability to communicate clearly in English.
UK-based applicants who demonstrate their potential to meet our academic requirements will be invited to visit UCL for a day. The day will include talks, the opportunity to meet current students and a tour of the department and UCL. You will also attend a university-level lecture.
You will also have a 20-minute discussion with one of our academic staff in order to explore what studying at UCL will be like. This discussion will form part of our decision-making process.
If you are based overseas, attendance at a visit day is impractical. Instead, you will be sent a presentation of the material that is covered with UK-based students. You will also be sent a series of chemistry questions for discussion by email or telephone.
We aim to contact you about the outcome of your application within 48 hours of your interview or, if overseas, on concluding our discussion.


Sunitinib is used in adults to treat cancers of the supporting connective tissue in abdominal organs. This treatment comes into play when the tumors are not removed by surgery or have already formed secondary tumors. The prerequisite is that prior treatment with the cytostatic imatinib was ineffective or was not tolerated.
Below you will learn more about the fields of application and the mode of action of sunitinib.
to which the active ingredient sunitinib belongs.
Also cancer of the kidney cells adult who has already formed subsidiary tumors can be treated with sunitinib.
In addition, the drug is used to treat adults with non-operable forms of pancreatic cancer that have already formed and are still growing on their offspring.
Sunitinib is rarely used as a first-choice drug. Mostly, pretreatments with other cytotoxic drugs precede it.
Sunitinib belongs to the active ingredient group of cytostatic drugs.
It inhibits various enzymes (tyrosine kinases) associated with cancer growth, the rebuilding of blood vessels to supply the tumor and the development of secondary cancers in cancer.
I had the complete kidney removed, then I had inoperable lung metastases. SUTENT 50 mg taken in the interval 14 tablets then 7 days break. After more than 2 months again CT. All lung metastases are gone! no tumor remains or signs of disease more detectable.
I take the drug to prevent the reformation of other tumors, I can and must live with the side effects (we try every day new). to repeatedly diarrhea, freezing, rash, weakness, tiredness and so on but until now I think what sölls there is worse, because my humor is my strength! together with my family my best medicine!
I have been taking Sutent since 08/2011. My metastases are on the decline and the side effects (burning in the mouth, pain in the balls of your foot, cracks in the intestinal membrane, high blood pressure, skin redness and abdominal pain) can be endured by taking medication. I can only recommend to anyone, to get information from several doctors about the drug Sutent. There are always new insights. It is important that with each new drug you question how the effect of Sutent is affected. I z. For example, always before taking Sutent, an acid blocker was taken, which, as noted now, reduces the efficiency of Sutent. I have changed this now. So rather 1000 questions too much, as one too few. Good doctors always have an open ear for this. So head up and live on. P. S. Sport, which is workable for you, can also be applied to any & lt; contribute to recovery or better state of mind.

This matter is before me on the Defendants' motions to dismiss a complaint sounding in contract, filed by the Plaintiff, Mr. Alfred, pro se. That Complaint is remarkable. It is in my experience a unique example of the pleader's art.
Consider the persimmon. No wild fruits are so sweet and delectable as ripe persimmons after the first fall freeze, if you can beat the birds to them. But a green persimmon is not just less tasty; it is inedible. Not even a 'possum will eat a green persimmon.


Our wonderful trustee and founder member Brian Marshall celebrated his 60th Birthday this month.

Live cricket has not been available on free-to-air TV in the UK since the 2005 Ashes.

In what is viewed as an unprecedented move for British television programming, the final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 between hosts England and New Zealand at Lord's on Sunday will be broadcast on free-to-air television in the UK.
Last week, rights-holders Sky Sports announced that it would show the World Cup final live if England were to feature in it. Now, following Eoin Morgan's team smashing Australia at Edgbaston in Thursday's semi-final, Sky Sports will broadcast England's first World Cup semi-final since 1992.
Sky has agreed a deal with the World Cup broadcaster to show the match on July 14, a day which also features the British Grand Prix.
In the UK, Channel 4 will carry Sky's coverage of the World Cup from 9:00am local time and then shift channels to More 4 at 1:15pm while Channel 4 airs the British Grand Prix. After the end of the race, the World Cup will switch back to Channel 4.

Sky showing the World Cup final on free-to-air TV in the UK is rare occasion, because since the 2005 Ashes live cricket has not been available on terrestrial TV. In 2004-05, the England & Wales Cricket Board awarded an exclusive four-year contract to BSkyB, ending a six-year association with Channel 4 which itself had in 1999 ended the BBC's 61-year run as the broadcaster of cricket in England. Since 2005, live coverage of England's home series were no longer made available on terrestrial TV.

Morgan termed the decision to show the World Cup final on free-to-air TV as "really important for cricket".
"It's cool, it's great that everyone gets the chance to see it," he said. "The 2005 Ashes was the moment for me when cricket became cool. That whole summer it was on all the front and back pages, everywhere. I don't think we will understand the impact until after the tournament when the guys go home. We will be recognised more than before."

Alastair Cook, England's leading run-getter in Test cricket, hoped that this "fantastic move" from Sky would "inspire the next generation" of English cricket
"It's a once on a lifetime opportunity for these players to play in a home World Cup and to have this opportunity to put it on free-to-air, so hopefully many more millions of people can watch it and hopefully see an England win. It can inspire the next generation," he told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"If they win the World Cup, the first 50-over tournament England have ever won, it can only be a good thing for cricket. And then amazingly a week-and-a-half later we start an Ashes series so it could be a very, very special eight or nine weeks for English cricket."

Angelina Jolie and her kids have moved into a $25 million mansion in Los Angeles on Thursday, May 18, months after the actress's split from Brad Pitt. The mansion was previously owned by legendary filmmaker Cecil B. Demille.
Photos of Jolie's new mansion have been published online, showing delivery men moving a huge number of crates and boxes from a large moving truck.
As reported by Ace Showbiz, Angelina's new residence is a 2.5-acre estate comprising six bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, a swimming pool, large gardens, and a tea house. It also comes with a beautiful library and an old farmhouse kitchen.
Interestingly, Angelina Jolie's new home is located just under two miles away from Brad Pitt's residence, and sources claim that the move was done to make it easier for the kids to visit both parents. Their six kids are named Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 10, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 8.
Even more interesting is the report that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are planning to call off the divorce. In fact, sources claim that they've been dating again, albeit in secret.
The source added that Jolie and Pitt decided to keep their renewed romance a secret for the meantime for the welfare of their kids. As most will understand, it's a confusing time for their kids in the wake of the pair's legal battles and the media circus that surrounded the divorce.
While matters between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have been initially contentious following their split, it appears that the pair has managed to set aside their differences for the sake of their kids.
In terms of media backlash, Angelina had the shorter end of the stick as people turned against her following the child abuse case she filed against Pitt. The online vitriol against the Maleficent actress died down when Brad Pitt opened up about their relationship in a revealing GQ Style interview. In the interview, Pitt revealed his struggles with alcohol addiction, and in his telling somehow took the brunt of the blame for his failed relationship with Jolie.
Brad Pitt also revealed that he has sobered up since his split with Angelina Jolie.
As far as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's kids are concerned, the actor said that his main focus moving forward is his family.
Do you think Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are on the verge of reigniting their relationship now that they are practically neighbors? Will this affect their relationship as co-parents to their kids? Sound off in the comments section below.
