A trial ban on cars, vans and lorries in several streets in the centre of Cheltenham resulted in a three-fold increase in the number of cyclist recorded passing one location in the Gloucestershire town, according to the local council.
Early results show a 206 per cent increase in the number of cyclists passing through the Boots Corner fountain area.
There was also an 84 per cent rise in pedestrian footfall and an 85 per cent reduction in the number of motor vehicles, says Cheltenham Borough Council.
The increases in numbers of people on foot or bike was said to be consistent across all days and all times sampled, and were calculated based on data collected before the trial began.
James Cleeton, Sustrans England Director South, welcomed the news, saying: ''The initial findings from the trial are extremely encouraging and demonstrate the positive impact reducing vehicles from the centre can have.
"An 84% increase in pedestrian movement can only have a positive impact on the local economy, air quality and create a vibrant place to spend time and travel through.
The council said that a 38 per cent drop in the number of bicycles parked at Boots Corner was recorded during the two weeks, in line with expectations because railings there were removed for the trial, but with new bike stands now in place it expects bike parking to show an increase when data is next collected.
The trial forms Phase 4 of the Cheltenham Transport Plan, run in partnership with Gloucestershire County Council, the local highways authority for the area. The first three phases have been completed, with monitoring showing that they are working well.
Under Phase 4, general traffic is banned from the section of Clarence Street through 'Boots Corner', North Street, Clarence Parade and Pittville Street to Imperial Circus. Buses, taxis and cycles, as well as emergency service vehicles, are permitted while loading and unloading is only allowed between 6pm and 10am.
The trial began on 28 June and continue through November, after which it will be reviewed with a decision taken on whether to make some or all of the changes permanent.
Councillor Andrew McKinlay, cabinet member for development and safety said: ''Overall, the data so far suggests that the trial road closure has not have a negative impact on visitors to the high street, actually the reverse.
Sam Jones, senior campaigns officer at the charity Cycling UK, told road.cc: "Boots Corner is yet another example that shows the positive impact on the local economy reducing motor traffic flow and making our town centres places where people want to spend time.
"It's no surprise to Cycling UK that when local authorities increase and improve cycling and walking in our towns and cities, the high street benefits. Studies have repeatedly shown that while cyclists may spend less than car-borne shoppers per trip, their total expenditure is on average greater because they tend to visit the shops more often.
"To a certain degree the Government has realised this, and is currently assisting authorities across England to put together plans to improve cycling and walking.
"However, these plans will go nowhere unless there's funding attached to make them a reality – which currently there is not.

Faculty of Agriculture fonds
Manitoba Agricultural College was formerly opened in 1906. In the following year, Manitoba Agricultural College became affiliated with the University of Manitoba so that the degree in agriculture could be conferred on students who had successfully completed the five-year course. However, the affiliation of Manitoba Agricultural College with the University was terminated by an Act of the Provincial Legislature in 1912 when the College was granted degree conferring powers. However, in 1916, the Act was amended and the affiliation between the College and University was restored again. The University of Manitoba conferred the degree Bachelor of Science in Agriculture (B.S.A) for the first time in May 1911. Regular instruction in Home Economics began the same year and the degree of Bachelor of Home Economics (B.H.E.) was first conferred in May 1918. On March 1, 1924, by Act of the Manitoba Legislature, the administration of Manitoba Agricultural College was transferred to the Board of Governors of the University and it was arranged that in future, the instructional work of the College could be carried on as a Faculty of Agriculture and Home Economics of the University. The length of the degree courses in both Agriculture and Home Economics was reduced to four sessions in 1927-1928 to conform with the other university faculties.
In 1929, the Legislature selected the site in Fort Garry, already occupied by the Manitoba Agricultural College since 1913, as the permanent site of the university. A systematic program of work in the field of rural adult education was begun in 1940. By 1941, the Faculty consisted of six departments: Animal Science, Bacteriology and Animal Pathology, Dairy Husbandry, Entomology, Plant Science ,and Soils. In 1946, the Department of Agricultural Engineering was added to the faculty. In 1966, the Faculty of Agriculture and Home Economics opened the Centre for Applied Research at Glenlea, twenty kilometers south of Winnipeg. In 1970, the Faculty of Agriculture and Home Economics separated into two independent faculties, Agriculture and Home Economics. Beginning in 1971, the Faculty of Agriculture, through sponsorship from the provincial government, became involved with various foreign aid programs. This culminated in 1979 when the Canadian International Development Agency (C.I.D.A.) financed a joint agricultural program with the University of Zambia. In July 1991, the Faculty became the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences.

Goldson On Two Awards
ShrewsWeb
Defender Delighted With Player Of The Year Awards
Watch a short clip of Goldson's interview on YouTube
Watch the full interview with Goldson on Shrews Player"What a transformation it has been," said Goldson.
"You have to congratulate the gaffer, Mike Jackson and all of the staff for doing what they done - they brought in a team of winners.
"It's a great group of players and I think it has shown in the season we've had.
"Micky (Mellon) has given me the confidence since he came into the football club that I can be whatever I want to be.
"We don't want to consolidate in League One now. We're going to aim for the stars and we've shown that we're as good as teams at that level."
After the heartbreak of relegation from League One the season before, Goldson has praised the turnaround at the Greenhous Meadow and believes Town can now go on to do well in League One.
"It's a proud moment for myself and obviously I'm very happy," said Goldson.
"It caps an amazing season not only for myself but the team.
"The players one especially, to play and train with them every day, is the main one - to get recognition from your peers. We all work hard every day to accomplish our goals.
"The fans also pay money every week to come and watch us play, travel all across the country and to get their vote as well means a lot to me."
And the 22-year-old, who has been with the Club since he was 14, has thanked both the players and fans for the awards.
Goldson, who appeared 51 times for Town throughout the season and scored seven goals, was voted as both the Player of the Year and the Players' Player of the Year for the 2014/15 season.
Defender Connor Goldson was delighted to pick up two major awards at the Shrewsbury Town end-of-season awards dinner on Sunday evening.

Sarah and Sarah tied the know outdoors on a gorgeous sunny day with a Southern California winery wedding ceremony. Their love for the outdoors played a role in choosing their wedding venue. The day was colored with grays and soft natural hues of earthy colors. The nature of the winery provided most of the decor, requiring minimal design and leaving the focus to all that was going on in nature.
The couple wore white dresses and carried cream-colored bouquets down the aisle. An unexpected group of butterflies flew through the ceremony as Sarah and Sarah read their vows, creating a special moment.
The reception was a family-style affair with long tables covered in cream-colored linens and decorated with stems of green leaves and neutral colored florals. The night concluded with drinks and dancing.

CONSTANTLY PIZZA IS BEST OF NH 2018 IN NH MAGAZINE!
BUY ANY 14" 2-TOPPING PIZZA AT REG. PRICE & GET A 2-LITER SODA - FREE!
When John and Dave Constant finished high school, they knew they wanted to go into business for themselves. With with help of their father, Skip, the three decided to put the family's Italian recipes to good use. In January of 1990, the first Constantly Pizza opened on Route 3 in Tilton, NH.
Since then, the brothers have expanded their business to the historic Main Street community of Downtown Concord, NH, and the ever-expanding Fisherville Road in Penacook, NH.
For the first three years, the brothers worked open to close, seven days a week, taking just two days off each year: Christmas and Thanksgiving. They were often so tired, John says, they took turns driving to work so the other could sleep in the car.
Two decades later, the brothers' work has paid off. Constantly Pizza is a thriving business, and a staple in the Central New Hampshire community. John and Dave, who were born and raised in Concord, know almost everyone in town. The brothers are constantly giving back to the community, sponsoring local teams and helping schools with fundraisers.
"After 20 years, " John says, "you see people all the time. It's great to see customers who have grown up with us start bringing in their own kids for a pizza."
And we can't forget about the food! At Constantly, the dough is made from scratch each day, the sauce is homemade, and the veggies, meats, and cheeses are sliced on site. The menu is filled to the brim with a variety of interesting pizza and sub combinations, and of course the classics. The Concord store even features homemade cannoli, tiramisu, lobster tails, and more from the famous Mike's Pastries in Boston's North End.
When it comes down to it, Dave and John say the most important key to Constantly Pizza's success is their great customers, local businesses, their fantastic staff, and wonderful family and friends. Without them, they could not be the business they are today.
Thank you for all your support. To another amazing twenty years!

The band's first full-length album, Mountain Smashers, romanticizes with the feelings of reluctance we've all felt towards growing up, slowing down, losing touch, and selling out. Clocking in at thirty minutes, it combines both the influence of those dusty 7" records, often overlooked, with the lessons learned from the aforementioned authors. It admits defeat, while exuding reassurance. It questions the norms, while embracing the inevitable. The guitars are loud and the feedback bleeds, the vocals clash in uniformed motion, and the lyrics are kind of weird. It's by far the band's most focused effort to date, and in some ways, it's their most adventurous.
This cassette from SLUDGE PEOPLE celebrates the 10 year anniversary of Mountain Smashers with the album on SIDE A and several previously unreleased demos on SIDE B!

AIA praises Rhode Island governor for vetoing labor rate legislation
June 28, 2012—The American Insurance Association (AIA) praised the governor of Rhode Island for vetoing legislation that could have let body shops sue insurers who don't agree to pay a non-negotiable labor rate.
The AIA says that the Rhode Island legislation would have also made it so that Rhode Island consumers couldn't have the option to total a vehicle and accept a check for its value if the cost to rebuild the car was less than 75 percent of what the vehicle is worth.
"AIA commends Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee for vetoing H. 7782A, legislation which represented poor public policy that would have led to an explosion of litigation. No other state in the nation allows auto body shops to set non-negotiable rates and attempt to force them on third-party payers under threat of litigation. Rhode Island is already one of the most expensive states in the nation for auto body repair, and this bill would have made the problem even worse," said Gary Henning, northeast region vice president for the AIA, in a prepared statement. "Gov. Chafee stood with consumers by taking a stand against this bill. The governor's veto protects policyholders from increased repair costs and increased litigation."

Rome: The Eternal City
TRAVELING / Italy / Rome: The Eternal City
History, human genius and the hot midday sun have conspired to make Rome one of the world's most seductive and thrilling cities.
Roman Feasting
A trip to Rome is as much about lapping up the lifestyle as it is gorging on art and historic sights. And there's no better way of getting into the local spirit of things than by eating and drinking well. Food and wine are central to Roman social life and the hundreds of pizzerias, trattorias, restaurants and gelaterie that crowd the city centre do as much business catering to locals as to tourists and out-of-towners. Do as the Romans do, says the proverb, and there's nothing more Roman than enjoying a tasty wood-fired pizza in a packed pizzeria or dining al fresco on a glorious city-centre piazza.
Rome, the Capital
But there's more to Rome than history, fine art and great food. Rome is Italy's capital and largest city, and while history reverberates all around, modern life is lived to the full. Rome is Italy's political and religious heartbeat and the twin presence of government and Church dominates the city. Many city-centre palazzi house government offices while over in the Vatican the dome of St Peter's Basilica serves to remind everyone of the pope's presence. Political intrigue is thick in the air and as tourists tuck into their pasta politicians hunker down to hatch plots over spaghetti and wine.
For much of its history Rome has been at the centre of world events, first, as caput mundi (capital of the world), the fearsome hub of the Roman Empire, then for centuries as the seat of papal power. It was a city that counted and this is writ large on its historic streets - martial ruins recall ancient glories, stately palazzi evoke Renaissance intrigue, towering basilicas testify to artistic genius and papal ambition. Elsewhere, underground temples, buried houses and maddonelle (roadside shrines) tell of past lives and local beliefs.
Artistic Grandeur
With an artistic heritage dating back to Etruscan times, Rome is one of the world's great art cities. Throughout history, it has played a starring role in the major upheavals of Western art and the results are there for all to see – amazing classical statues, stunning Renaissance frescoes, breathtaking baroque churches. Walk around the centre and even without trying you'll come across masterpieces by the greats of the artistic pantheon – sculptures by Michelangelo, paintings by Caravaggio, frescoes by Raphael, fountains by Bernini. In Rome, art is not locked away from view, it's quite literally all around you.
There are Powerful Roman families in the 16th and 17th centuries prided themselves on their collections of classical statuary, and they had no qualms about bringing in a sculptor of their own to replace missing arms and noses. Hence many of the remarkable ancient statues displayed in this gallery of collections from four dynasties look surprisingly intact. There's an Ares patched up by Bernini, and an Athena returned to her full glory by Alessandro Algardi.
Rome has a lot of astonishing Piazzas (public squares) which you can reach in almost every area of the city, some of the most popular and spectacular are:
Piazza Navona
Probably the most elegant piazza in Rome, Piazza Navona was constructed over the ruins of the ancient circus of Domitian and maintains its distinctive oval shape, albeit now lined with gorgeous pastel palazzi and dotted with elaborate Baroque fountains. The square is always bustling with activity but is worth visiting at night when the tourist crowds die down and Bernini's Fountain of the Four Rivers is perfectly lit.
Campo de' Fiori
Home to one of Rome's most historic and colourful markets, Campo de' Fiori should be seen in the morning when locals and visitors rub shoulders while stocking up on fresh produce. The name refers to the 'field of flowers', which was what the site was in ancient times before being developed into a public square used for executions (note the ominous statue of the heretic Giordano Bruno who was burned at the stake on this site in 1600). Once the market clears and the sun begins to set, Campo de' Fiori begins its transformation into one of Rome's most frequented nightlife spots thanks to the concentration of bars and eateries in the area.
Piazza di Spagna
With the iconic Spanish Steps and multiple designer stores and boutiques, Piazza di Spagna is the hub of upper-class Rome and one of the most instantly recognisable spots in the city. Head there early in the morning to get the staircase (almost) to yourself or join the throng at sunset when the piazza is bathed in a rosy glow and climbing to the top of the steps will reward you with one of the most romantic views of the Eternal City.
Piazza San Pietro
The vast expanse of St Peter's Square provides the perfect approach to Basilica di San Pietro, the largest church in the world and symbol of the Vatican. The two sweeping colonnades were designed by Bernini to represent welcoming arms and the square was constructed to accentuate the enormity of the building and to allow as many people as possible into the piazza to see the pope. Make sure to visit at night when the hoards of tourists have dispersed and the empty piazza and church are beautifully illuminated with a warm light.
Piazza del Popolo
One of the largest squares in Rome, the circular Piazza del Popolo is almost perfectly symmetrical, from the twin churches on the southern edge to the fountains on either side, while the centre of the square is dominated by the imposing imposing Egyptian obelisk. The size of the piazza makes it a frequent location for concerts and events in the summer months, while a trip up the steps to the edge of the piazza will bring you to the Pincio terrace, which offers a fantastic view over the piazza and right across the rooftops of the city.
While visiting Rome every turn you take most propably whould reveal to you a piece of architecture, history and beauty.

We all believe in the inspiration and authority of the whole Bible.
We all seek to be shaped by the Scriptures in matters of faith, doctrine, and practice.
We all share a rich heritage which holds Scripture in high regard—we all think of ourselves as Scripture-focused and Spirit-driven, and we all seek to understand or interpret the Bible with appropriate respect.
We all affirm key mandates from Scripture, such as evangelism, social justice, mercy ministries, etc., though emphasis on these mandates varies within each group and among the groups.
We all take into account the larger themes in Scripture in seeking to understand or interpret the meaning of specific passages.
We all share common difficulties—each group has a wide variety of perspectives concerning the Scriptures and their application. The difference may lie in the numbers of those committed to various emphases in each group.
We all seek to understand Scripture through the process of hermeneutics, and all generally employ historical-critical or theological-grammatical methodology using similar methods.
RULE 1. On opening any book in the sacred Scriptures, consider first the historical circumstances of the book. These are the order, the title, the author, the date, the place, and the occasion of it.
The order in historical compositions is of much importance; as, for instance,–whether the first, second, or third, of the five books of Moses, or any other series of narrative, or even epistolary, communications.
The title is also of importance, as it sometimes expresses the design of the book. As Exodus–the departure of Israel from Egypt; Acts of Apostles, etc.
RULE 2. In examining the contents of any book, as respects precepts, promises, exhortations, etc.,observe who it is that speaks, and under what dispensation he officiates. Is he a Patriarch, a Jew, or a Christian? Consider also the persons addressed; their prejudices, characters, and religious relations. Are they Jews or Christians, believers or unbelievers, approved or disapproved? This rule is essential to the proper application of every command, promise, threatening, admonition, or exhortation, in Old Testament or New.
RULE 3. To understand the meaning of what is commanded, promised, taught, etc., the same philological principles, deduced from the nature of language; or the same laws of interpretation which are applied to the language of other books, are to be applied to the language of the Bible.
RULE 4. Common usage, which can only be ascertained by testimony, must always decide the meaning of any word which has but one signification; but when words have, according to testimony (i.e.,the dictionary,) more meanings than one, whether literal or figurative, the scope, the context, or parallel passages must decide the meaning: for if common usage, the design of the writer, the context, and parallel passage fail, there can be no certainty in the interpretation of language.
RULE 5. In all tropical language, ascertain the point of resemblance, and judge of the nature of the trope, and its kind, from the point of resemblance.
RULE 6. In the interpretation of symbols, types, allegories, and parables, this rule is supreme: —Ascertain the point to be illustrated; for comparison is never to be extended beyond that point—to all the attributes, qualities, or circumstances of the symbol, type, allegory, or parable.
We must come within the understanding distance.
Now we may say with propriety say, that as it respects God, there is an understanding distance. All beyond that distance cannot understand God; all within it, can easily understand him in all matters of piety and morality. God, himself, is the centre of that circle, and humility is its circumference.
The wisdom of God is as evident in adapting the light of the Sun of Righteousness to our spiritual or moral vision, as in adjusting the light of day to our eyes. The light reaches us without an effort of our own, but we must open our eyes, and if our eyes be sound, we enjoy the natural light of heaven. There is a sound eye in reference to spiritual light, as well as in reference to material light. Now, while the philological principles and rules of interpretation enable many men to be skilful in biblical criticism, and in the interpretation of words and sentences, who neither perceive nor admire the things represented by those words; the sound eye contemplates the things themselves, and is ravished with the moral scenes which the Bible unfolds.
The moral soundness of vision consists in having the eyes of understanding fixed soley on God himself, his approbation and complacent affection for us. It is sometimes called a single eye because it looks for one thing supremely. Every one, then, who opens the Book of God, with one aim, with one ardent desire—the intent only to know the will of God; to such a person, the knowledge of God is easy: for the Bible is framed to illuminate such, and only such, with the salutary knowledge of things celestial and divine.
He, then, that would interpret the Oracles of God to the salvation of his soul, must approach this volume with the humility and docility of a child, and meditate upon it day and night. Like Mary, he must sit at the Master's feet, and listen to the words which fall from his lips. To such a one there is an assurance of understanding, a certainty of knowledge, to which the man of letters alone never attained, and which the mere critic never felt.
Common Sense or Rationalist or Foundationalist model: found in A. Campbell and W. Scott, but reaching its extreme version in Tolbert Fanning and others. Approaches the Bible as a pure foundation of "facts" and "propositions," or as a logical body of evidences leading to a final conclusion.
Christocentric or Narrative-Centered or Gospel-Centered model: also has roots in both Campbells, Stone, Scott, and Robert Richardson. Views the person of the Lord Jesus Christ as having an even more basic authority than the text of Scripture. Focuses on the central gospel story of Christ's incarnation, death, resurrection, ascension and return and the need for the interpreter or believer to enter into that "story." Sees Scripture as transformative and not simply informative. Recent Stone-Campbell : Tom Olbricht (his autobiography, Hearing God's Voice, describe his shift to this position).
Classical Liberal Model: deeply informed by biblical higher criticism and the demythologizing of the Bible. Sees the Bible as "inspired" in a quasi-poetic sense. Scripture is most authoritative where it is most humanizing. One classic Stone-Campbell example: Herbert Willett.
"Pietistic" model: sees the Bible as not just "inspired" but as "inspiring." The Holy Spirit lives in and beyond the text and brings scripture to bear on our lives and experience within the church. Recent Stone-Campbell examples who use this method quite differently from one another: Max Lucado, Fred Craddock, Bob Russell.
We confess that social, cultural, political, and other presuppositions greatly influence our perspectives and decisions about the meaning of Scripture.
We confess that we have often sinned by judging brothers and sisters on the basis of our stereotypes or caricatures rather than engaging them on the basis of their commitment to Christ.
We are aware that although we have a common commitment to the inspiration, authority, and priority of Scripture, we have often come to very different conclusions about some specific teachings of Scripture. This is true within each stream and between the streams.
We affirm through the grace of God we will seek to understand one another and with renewed understanding to embrace one another.
We will seek to stand with one another in ministry whenever and wherever we can do so [Delete: with integrity].
We confess we are united in Christ through the Holy Spirit and not through agreement on Biblical interpretation or anything else.

How Early in a Relationship Should You Talk About Money?
John McDermott April 25, 2019
Here's exactly when to have the "money talk" — and how to do it right.
Garry Pelton was nervous to talk with his girlfriend. Not that anything was wrong; in fact, Pelton was considering asking her to marry him.
But before he did, he knew they had to talk about money — specifically, whether they had similar personal finance goals and philosophies. Pelton wanted to pay off the mortgage on his condo and he hoped to buy more property in the future. He wanted to be able to go on vacations, but when the couple saved up to afford them. More generally, he believed in living within his means: Never spending more than he earned, and saving up for large purchases instead of buying them on credit and incurring debt.
"I knew finances were a big sticking point for couples," he says. "I've seen a lot of friends and colleagues divorce because of financial problems, especially if only one of the people worked and the other spent frivolously."
The money talk is inevitable in any long-term relationship, especially when the couple has divergent attitudes about money. The lucky ones are able to reconcile their differences early and work out a compromise. But many couples avoid the conversation only to discover over time that one person wants to spend more than the other, which can breed mutual contempt over time. The saver resents their partner for overspending and undermining the couple's goals, while the spender feels controlled by their partner and unable to enjoy their life. Eventually, the discord reaches a breaking point. Disagreements about money are the primary cause of marital strife, according to Terri Orbuch, professor at Oakland University and University of Michigan Institute for Social Research.
How to Break the Silent Treatment (Assuming You're Not a Jerk Who Deserves It)
Tracy Moore April 23, 2019
For Pelton, a 25-year-old University of Northern Florida student who previously served in the U.S. Navy, the time for the talk was five months ago — a full two years into his relationship. And he was prepared to walk away from the relationship if his girlfriend had a flippant attitude toward personal finance. "I would have honestly thought I don't think this can work," he says.
Fortunately, that didn't happen. His girlfriend shared his belief in living frugally. But many would say Pelton's money talk came dangerously late in the relationship. Had she had a different point of view on money, the relationship might have come to nothing after two solid years.
So when, then, is the appropriate time to have this uncomfortable chat?
The general consensus is the money talk should occur well before a couple gets married, and for good reason. "Money is the number-one source of conflict among couples, particularly early in marriage," says Orbuch, who has studied the same 373 couples for 30 years as part of a long-term National Institutes of Health study on marriage. Orbuch finds that seven out of 10 couples report money is a significant source of tension in their relationships.
But the distance between starting a relationship and getting married can be vast — if indeed it does lead to marriage. Having a chat about money the night before the wedding seems far too late, while discussing money on the first date seems presumptuous, even gauche.
Dating expert Laurel House says to discuss money once you decide you're serious — which seems only slightly less ambiguous, and opens up the risk of one person being serious before the other and broaching the subject too early. Personal finance personality Suze Orman advises having the discussion before the relationship gets serious, whenever the hell that is.
Spencer Reese, a 29-year-old Air Force captain, and his wife managed to go from more than $100,000 in debt to a quarter-million dollars in net worth in six years, and he recommends discussing money on the second or third date, meanwhile. Then again, Reese was especially maniacal about his finances. He once canceled an $80 weekend vacation his wife planned because it was over their budget, causing her to cry.
"The second or third date is too early," Orbuch counters. "However, you don't need to discuss money directly to identify or understand someone's approach to money."
Orbuch says you can deduce someone's financial philosophy by simply observing how they move through the world and handle everyday transactions. Where do they like to go out for dinner and drinks? How much do they tip the wait staff when they do? Do they go out for coffee every day, or do they brew it at home?
A slightly more direct way is to ask the person you're dating about their lifestyle. Their spending habits will reveal themselves in their answers. Where do they work out? Somewhere ritzy, or are they more of a "whatever works" person? What was their last vacation? Where did they go? Did they use discount travel sites such as Kayak or Expedia to book their flight and accommodations? Did they stay at a five-star hotel, or rough it in an RV?
These Are the Things You Should Never Feel Bad About Spending Money On
Quinn Myers April 18, 2019
"Don't have a talk about how each of you approaches money until later in the relationship — when you are considering being a couple, when you think of yourself as a 'we' and want your friends and/or family to meet this person," Orbuch adds.
Pelton followed this advice to a T, albeit unwittingly. Talking about money is uncomfortable for just about everyone, and he didn't want to grapple with the awkwardness until he was sure he wanted to be in a committed, long-term relationship with the woman he's dating.
Besides, he had a pretty good idea about his girlfriend's attitudes toward money without discussing it directly. She loved trying new restaurants, but didn't insist on an expensive meal out every date. One night she remarked that she loved visiting Japan, but only did when she could afford it, giving him the impression she saved for what she wanted.
Their big money conversation confirmed his impressions, and the two devised a plan for splitting expenses if and when she moves into Pelton's condo: He'll continue paying the mortgage, utilities and condo fees, and she'll cover groceries, gas and maintenance expenses.
Does he wish he'd had the conversation sooner?
"Absolutely not. That would have been overstepping my boundaries or being too forward. The biggest obstacle in a relationship is talking about finances. So I sat her down and decided that if we crossed every other bridge, that money was the biggest one to cross."

Reviews of In the Year of the Virus and Sprawl
In the Year of the Virus by Felix Cheong and Eko (Marshall Cavendish, 2020)
Sprawl by Felix Cheong and Arif Rafhan (Marshall Cavenish, 2021)
Comics are hip now. Local writers are getting into graphic novels. Joshua Yip had a comics project some 10 years ago but it did not come out. Felix Cheong is the latest to dip his hand and pen into this format.
His first foray, In the Year of the Virus, came out in 2020, one of the first graphic documentations of how we were affected by Covid-19. Since then, we have others like Joseph Chiang's Chronicles of a Circuit Breaker (2021). What's unusual is that Cheong wrote in verse instead of the standard prose description and dialogue. We do have poetry comics before back in the late 1980s but those were local adaptations of William Blake.
The stories are told from the point of views of the virus, someone suffering from covid, a healthcare worker, a dear one who did not survive, our surroundings and even the frustrations of a zoomed life (akin to being trapped in a zoo). Artist Eko does a competent job in translating Cheong's poetry into drawings. I wonder how their collaboration is like – does Cheong provide a full script and breakdown of the pages and panels? The last story, Let the Morning In, was conceived as song lyrics and has been recorded by Rachel Wong. Cheong had said in a 2021 interview that he is collaborating more with others working in different medium.
Sprawl is Cheong's second comic book, drawn by Malaysian artist, Arif Rafhan, and couldn't be more different from In the Year of the Virus. A full-fledged tribute to Frank Miller's Sin City, Sprawl provides escapist relief in our second year of covid. Set in the Sprawl, which may or may not be a futuristic corrupt Singapore, the story features the city's last honest cop relating his first person narrative from the grave – it is like the 1982 theatrical version of Blade Runner's Deckard meets Sunset Boulevard.
Inner pages of Sprawl
Cop meets femme fatale, fights city hall corruption and comes to an end in a dark alley. But his sacrifice was not in vain as the bad guys were brought down, or so it seems. All these in 64 pages which might be a bit too rush and that could have led to some of the inconsistencies found in the storytelling – the first person narrative shows things the dead cop would not have known, unless being dead, he is also showing us an omnipresent view. Like the epilogue – is that from the point of view of the dead cop or the femme fatale? It is also unclear if she is working for the bigger bad guy or out to get him.
This is a good attempt by Rafhan, who is prominent in Singapore comics these days. His Malaysian comic, Reality Bitchslap (2015) was translated and published by Epigram Books in 2020. He is also drawing the Amazing Ash and Superhero Ah Ma series (written by Melanie Lee) for Difference Engine and now this. He makes good use of the black and white and reds, again a nod to the lessons he learned from Sin City. The cover, in particular, is eye catching. I almost miss the cop was covering the femme fatale with his overcoat. But if there is one criticism i could offer, it is that Rafhan could better define and differentiate the look of his characters. It is not clear if it was the cop's superior who was arrested at the end. I had to check the earlier pages.
The title is inspired by the Arcade Fire song. But I wish it had also drawn from William Gibson's Sprawl trilogy. That could have added more texture to the story, ie. to draw more from science fiction than noir. More Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep than Blade Runner. Maybe we will have that in the next volume, Sprawl 2: God's Lonely Man. But we will see.
Kudos to Marshall Cavendish for starting their graphic novels line too.

Delivering a beautiful top quality wedding film and photography that is a true reflection of the day and receiving feedback that leaves me buzzing!!
Meet your wedding suppliers!!, your day is so important and your only going to do it once. Ensure sure you get the right people around you.
Its always very special when a small child walks the bride down the aisle, but my favourite from this season was ring on a wing. An owl flew the rings down the aisle to the best man. It was just so beautiful and a wonderful surprise for all the guests who had no idea it was going to happen.

It was just a perfect and unique moment!
Rain doesnt change a thing, we can still get some amazing shots. We live in the UK and the one thing we can expect is a little rain. As soon as the rain stops we get everyone outside for shots whilst working around the wedding venue of course.

It is often called, "The Holy of Holies" of the Old Testament. However, it is even more broadly impacting than most people realize; that's why we call it, "The Fulcrum of the Entire Universe." Its reach includes the entire creation.
Clearly, its most devotional significance details our personal salvation: indeed, the entire New Testament is summarized in its remarkable 12 verses. Yet it also includes some of the most astonishing apologetic insights in the entire Bible. Rich rewards for the diligent.
What kind of body did He have? Why did they have trouble recognizing Him?
How do we now know that we live within a digital virtual environment which is but "a shadow of a larger reality"? What are the implications of that "larger reality"? What is the relationship between "the twinkling of an eye" and Planck's Constant for time (10-43 seconds)?

Law and regulation Employment and benefit-related legislation
Rep. Kennedy to advisers: Make your voices heard
By Brian M. Kalish May 03, 2017, 4:57 p.m. EDT 2 Min Read
Helping legislators understand "the human consequence of … policies is so incredibly important," Rep. Joe Kennedy (D-Mass.) on Wednesday told hundreds of insurance agents attending the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America annual legislative conference in Washington.
Speaking about tax reform, but applying it to all pieces of legislation, Kennedy said the only way to get a bill passed is if brokers "raise [their] voices and make sure members [of Congress] understand the consequences of action and inaction."
He pointed to the American Health Care Act, the GOP plan to replace the Affordable Care Act, which was pulled from the House floor before a vote because the Republican Party lacked the votes to pass the bill.
"The bill six weeks ago did not have the support of hospitals or doctors or the mental health community or nurses or seniors or patient groups," Kennedy said. "It didn't have support from a whole lot of folks. People raised their voices and … [the] bill was pulled because people said to their representatives, 'Don't vote yet.'"
"The system does actually work but is predicated on citizens raising their voices and speaking up," he added.
He urged advisers to frame issues around how they have affected families looking for insurance coverage or trying to start a business. "No one else is going to do this for you," he said. "And if you think they are, they are going to do it the way they want to do it."
If you let someone else talk, "don't [complain] that you don't like the result. Speak up," he added. "If you do, we will get there."
Passing a bill
Kennedy predicted a new GOP-led health bill will reach the House Thursday. He said a successful bill requires working together.
"Process matters," he said. "I was talking with senior members of the [Trump] administration the other day and they said, 'Do you want to work with us on stuff?'"
Kennedy said he was willing to work on some items, but the rhetoric from the administration is targeting constituencies that mean a lot to Bay Staters, including funding for the National Institutes of Health and social services. This, he said, makes it harder to work together.

By Brian M. Kalish
"If [the administration] does not provide any space to have a conversation, we can't get there," he said. "I don't think the administration is there yet."
The way the GOP healthcare reform bill has been proposed, Kennedy said, has put Democrats in a "defensive state," given the programs it targets. While Kennedy predicts a softer rhetoric will not happen on the healthcare bill, he is hopeful it will on tax reform and other programs. "Create a space where we can have a discussion," he said. "You can get there, but you need to provide some opportunities to have a conversation."

The word concept is used in ordinary language as well as in almost all academic disciplines. Particularly in philosophy, psychology and cognitive sciences the term is much used and much discussed. WordNet defines concept: "conception, construct (an abstract or general idea inferred or derived from specific instances)". However, the meaning of the term concept is much disputed. Philosopher Edouard Machery (2011), for example, argues that theories of concepts in philosophy and in psychology have distinct goals and therefore do not share the same understanding of the term concept. He writes (p. 247):
A concept is typically associated with a corresponding representation in a language or symbology; however, some concepts do not have a linguistic representation, which can make them more difficult to understand depending on a person's native language, such as a single meaning of a term.
There are prevailing theories in contemporary philosophy which attempt to explain the nature of concepts. The representational theory of mind proposes that concepts are mental representations, while the semantic theory of concepts (originating with Frege's distinction between concept and object) holds that they are abstract objects. Ideas are taken to be concepts, although abstract concepts do not necessarily appear to the mind as images, while some ideas appear to. Many philosophers consider concepts to be a fundamental ontological category of being.
The term "concept" is traced back to 1554–60 (Latin conceptum - "something conceived"),[citation needed] but what is today termed "the classical theory of concepts" is the theory of Aristotle on the definition of terms.[citation needed] The meaning of "concept" is explored in mainstream information science, cognitive science, metaphysics, and philosophy of mind. In computer and information science contexts, especially, the term 'concept' is often used in unclear or inconsistent ways.

Since June 2007 when the first iPhone has been released, up until 2016, the total sales of this mega-popular device reached an amazing number of one billion and continues to grow. It is, therefore, no wonder that the gaming software developers recognised an opportunity and created a completely new market, targeting specifically iPhone casino users. In the recent years, iPhone slots and iPhone casinos are gradually becoming a serious competition to standard online gaming websites, as more and more people use their iPhones to conduct everyday business affairs or for entertaining purposes. With everything that this device has to offer, it was only a question of time when gaming apps intended solely for iPhone users will emerge and take over the online gambling scene. Let's find out more about iPhone mobile casinos.
How do iPhone Casino sites work?
Regardless of the iPhone model one owns, the number of gambling-related apps that can be accessed through iTunes store is impressive.
Of course, not all online casinos nowadays have their own mobile app and sometimes downloading a casino onto your iPhone will not be an option.
On the other hand, there are hardly any online casinos that are not optimised for iOS and if a casino is not available for download, one can always launch it directly from the browser or immediately after scanning the QR code which will reroute the player to the mobile device optimised casino version.
Due to gambling laws and regulations, as well as Apple's own policies when it comes to content available on iTunes store, the developers are dedicated to designing their own iPhone compatible games and investing resources in developing iPhone casinos that users can purchase or install for free without visiting the iTunes apps store – directly from the online casino's site.
Even the users that have older iPhone models can access any iPhone casino with ease – all one needs to do is perform the iOS update and your phone will be ready to store the entire iPhone casino on your device. The range of games and iPhone slots one can load is pretty wide, including real money and free play games, sports betting, live dealer casino etc.
It's the brand that's taken over the world. Every owner loves their Apple iPhone, and online video slots fans are among the millions of people who browse with these sleek machines every day.
How do you get the most out of your online gaming on an iPhone?
A screen that flips from portrait to landscape and back as you move the phone around is great news sometimes, but not when you're playing slots. Lock your screen orientation via the home button and multitasking bar.
Do you want music and beeps? Maybe not if you're on a busy train or in your bedroom. You can mute the sounds from the casino while leaving important system notifications on by using the mute button.
Nothing infuriates a video slots player like a phone that juices down when they're on the verge of a big win! Do everything you can to extend your battery life while you're playing. You can do this by turning the screen brightness down, for example, disabling location services, Bluetooth, and Push Data.
You need to make sure you can read and see everything clearly – including the small print! – when you're gambling for real money. Make use of zooming and the accessibility settings for those with visual disabilities if you need them to ensure your screen is big, bright, and clear and you're tapping where you want to tap.
iPhone gaming is great fun. Make sure you do it at safe sites with the best games and the best deals, which you'll always find listed at SlotsAdviser.com.
Optimising or even designing a game for a certain OS does not exclude other systems. In other words, iPhone casinos, iPhone slots or other games created for Apple devices can also be launched on Windows or Android phones or tablets, but their full functionality and potential will only be reached on iPhones.
Visuals, audio effects and certain features that can significantly improve the gameplay are in some cases available only if the game is launched on iPhone and launching it from any other operative systems may ruin the whole experience.
Thanks to their high standards and years long experience, developers such as NextGen, NetEnt and Microgaming have released some of the best iPhone slots, making full use of iPhone capacities and performance quality.
Thunderstruck II, for example, is a Norse mythology themed slot by Microgaming that has been constantly increasing in popularity ever since its release several years ago.
Following closely in both quality and special features is Twin Spin, a NetEnt iPhone slot game that can be played on other smart devices but provides maximum performance only on iPhones.
The same goes for slots such as Gonzo's Quest or Siberian Storm – although they are a joy to play on any device, the sound and visual effects are impeccable when loaded on iPhones, reaching a whole new level of gameplay that only Apple devices are capable of providing.

South Carolina-based equipment manufacturer Salient Discs – the company that sponsored and promoted the controversial American Disc Golf Tour that aired on ESPN3 in May – has filed for bankruptcy.
According to the filings, Salient is aiming for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which allows for a liquidation of nonexempt property. Per the United States Courts website, if a discharge is granted in the proceedings, individual debtors are generally exempt from personal liability, meaning the owners of the company should be safe from creditors going after their personal assets.
The move is another step in dubious history of the American Disc Golf Tour, which debuted in May boasting a veritable disc golf revolution, but was met with resistance after eschewing cooperation with the PDGA. Salient already had a poor customer service reputation, and the tour received even more backlash after very publicly disputing an entry-fee refund with one of the players signed up for its marquee event, the American Open.
Creditors in the bankruptcy filing include Salient owner Chris Kilgus, American Disc Golf Tour co-founder Steve Boucher, and Scher Shot Productions, a North Carolina-based video production outlet. Both of the websites for Salient Discs and the American Disc Golf Tour are still operational, but their Facebook accounts appear to have been shut down.
Ultiworld Disc Golf has reached out to Salient Discs for comment.

Sony has got some good news for the gamers as it confirms that PlayStation 5 (PS5) would be released this holiday season as per the schedule, and it won't be delayed due to the current Coronavirus pandemic. Not yet at least…
Sony weighs to alleviate concerns of its fans

Due to the rulings of working from home and restrictions to factory operations, Sony fans are also concerned about the release of PS5 in the holiday season. But Sony has just alleviated any such concerns lingering in the gamers' mind by confirming the launch of PS5 as per the schedule.
As per the end of financial year report released by Sony, no major issues have yet been reported in the development of PS5. So, its release is still on track during this holiday season. The company stated that although they have also been facing similar restrictions by the authorities due to the global crisis, yet they intend to release PS5 as per schedule without any delay. Moreover, all the games have been confirmed in PS5 and it would be fully installed with multiplayer mayhem
They said that although factors such as employees working from home and restriction on international travel, it would be a challenging task for them to release PS5 as per the schedule in terms of the testing and qualification of production lines. Yet, they were pleased with the development progress of the game so far.
They further mentioned that no major problems have arisen in the development pipeline, so the console would be launched in the holiday season.
Next-Gen Console
Although Sony has been facing lesser sales since last year, it's determined to release the next-generation console. Moreover, two massive games are also on the way for PS4 players. This includes an extended look at the Ghost of Tsushima and The Last of Us 2.

GreenFLY (greenfly.ucdavis.edu) is an airline flight search website that prominently displays greenhouse gas emissions estimates along with the other important flight information, such as price and times, for each possible flight itinerary. We describe its software components and graphic design principles. Then we present a discrete choice experiment in which we asked participants to choose between itineraries presented in the GreenFLY format. Results suggest that consumers are willing to pay a significant amount for lower-emissions flights in the context of online flight search, especially when lower emissions are combined with fewer layovers.
