A review of some of our casework between 2013 and 2015.
Old Steam Mill, Corn Hill, Wolverhampton
Grade II, William Fairbairn, c1851 The brick ceilings, metal framework and cast iron roof trusses of this imposing building were noted as an important early example of fireproofing in an industrial building by Fairbairn, who also designed the famous contemporary mills at Saltaire, Yorkshire. We had previously campaigned for the preservation of the Steam Mill, when it was threatened with demolition for the extension to the Metro, and indeed by 2014 we understood that plans had been altered to ensure the building's incorporation and adaptation for hotel use. However, earlier fire damage to the mill had resulted in extensive structural weakness, with exterior walls supported by scaffolding and Corn Hill had been closed to through traffic since 2008. Sadly in October 2015 the surviving parts of the structure were demolished on the grounds of safety, so the entire listed building has now been lost. The resulting significant impact on the historic industrial character of the conservation area has compounded the loss in 1989 of the nearby Union Mill. Our concern is now to ensure the restoration of the surviving sack warehouse to the Steam Mill, which stands on the opposite side of the street in a burned out state, but is the sole remaining industrial building on Corn Hill.
Zara's, 80 Broad Street, Birmingham
Grade II, partly by J.J.Bateman, 1863, with gate piers by Martin and Chamberlain, 1869. Earlier in 2015 we objected strongly to the construction of an unauthorised large smoking shelter on the forecourt of this elegant Classical building. 80 Broad Street was originally built as the Islington Glassworks in 1815, but adapted and extended in the 1860s as a lying-in hospital. This shelter was removed but any thought that this matter had been resolved conclusively was short-lived, as in November 2015 a new, even larger shelter was erected along the main street frontage and inappropriate signage was fixed to the façade of the listed building. Neither enjoys consent. We have strongly objected to these unwelcome disfigurements of the listed building and hope that enforcement action by Birmingham City Council for the removal of both shelter and signage will be swift and effective.
Former Unity Works, 39-52 Vittoria Street, Birmingham
Grade II, c1866 extended by J.P. Osborne 1898. The Unity Works comprise a typical fine group of Victorian factory buildings at the heart of the Jewellery Quarter Conservation Area. After years of vacancy and neglect proposals have now been brought forward for residential conversion of the site. Whilst most of the buildings would be retained and preserved, a 19th century shopping wing in a rear courtyard has been proposed for demolition. We objected to the loss of this historic fabric as part of the ongoing and regrettable erosion of character of the Quarter's industrial heritage. We were also concerned that consent for complete residential conversion of an industrial building in this part of the Quarter, not permitted under current council policy, would set a precedent, which would be both hard to reverse and contribute to the accelerating loss of specialist metal manufacturing in the conservation area. The poor state of a significant part of the built heritage of the Quarter is the subject of recent independent reports, and we understand that policy on future uses for land and property here is to be reviewed by the local authority. However, we are keen to ensure that past campaigns to retain the industrial character of the Jewellery Quarter, which have been hard won by this society and others over the last thirty years, do not get overlooked in the current drive to regenerate and develop the area.
Former Technical School, Crockett's Lane, Smethwick, Sandwell
Grade II, F.J.Gill 1910 This fine Edwardian Baroque building is the focus of the recently designated Crockett's Lane Conservation Area adjacent to Victoria Park in Smethwick. It is grouped with two locally listed buildings, the former Girls' School of 1898 by the same architect, and a former board school of 1883-4 by J.P.Sharp. All three buildings were until 2013 on a campus of Sandwell College which has now relocated elsewhere. The site was subsequently cleared of later buildings in anticipation of redevelopment. Outline plans for residential conversion of the listed and locally listed buildings together with new housing on the cleared site appear sympathetic to the historic structures, but at our site visit in May 2015 the woefully inadequate security of the vacant buildings was highlighted along with an appalling level of vandalism across the site. We have written to the local authority to express our concerns at the current position, and to ensure that appropriate detailed plans for the site can be produced and implemented before further harmful deterioration takes place. Hopefully the site will now be properly secured and it will be possible for the damage done, particularly to the marble hall of the listed former Technical School, to be made good.
7-12 Bartholomew Row, Birmingham
Grade II, Georgian houses with façade of c1855 and rear additions of c1855 and 1894 This short terrace comprises some of the few remaining historic buildings on Birmingham's Eastside. The development of these plots between Bartholomew Row and Fox Street during the 19th century represents a typical Birmingham building story which is now a relative rarity. The once fashionable Georgian town houses were adapted for commercial and industrial use, with workshops erected on the former rear gardens. Here metal working took place in shopping wings built alongside a malt house, which also survives in a much altered state. We have previously strongly opposed plans for demolition of all the buildings on the site. However, current proposals are for the conservation of the listed buildings, retaining many historic features, and their adaptation to create student accommodation with studios, workshops and offices. We have accepted that for this project to be viable there will need to be major residential development in the form of a 16 storey tower on an adjacent vacant site, but we hope that as a result this remarkable complex of historic buildings will gain a new purpose in a fast changing part of the city.
Claughton Centre, Blower's Green Road, Dudley
Unlisted, Barrowcliff and Allcock 1904 The former Upper Standard School is a little known Edwardian work by these Loughborough architects, whose previous buildings included the grade II listed Carnegie Library in their home town. They won a competition with their design for this attractive, well detailed Jacobean style brick and buff terracotta building with a varied roofline, which is a landmark on a much used approach road to the southern end of Dudley town centre. Many original features such as windows, chimneys and cupolas survive along with the unusual colonnade by the girls' entrance. We have strongly objected to current proposals for total demolition of this attractive building and its replacement with an unremarkable housing development. Until recently the former school was used for offices and the building seems to lend itself well to adaptation for commercial or residential purposes. Dudley can ill afford to lose key historic buildings such as this and we have applied to Historic England for the building to be added to the Statutory List.
St Stephen, Selly Park, Birmingham
Grade II, Martin and Chamberlain 1870-1. John Henry Chamberlain was Birmingham's most important Gothic Revival architect. In partnership with William Martin, he designed several key buildings in the city including 'Highbury' a house for Joseph Chamberlain (no relation), the City Library (demolished in 1974 and replaced by the Central Library now also awaiting destruction), the School of Art (now grade I), and the renowned series of board schools. St Stephen is Chamberlain's only Anglican church in Birmingham, and an important landmark in Selly Park Conservation Area. The current active congregation are developing the church with considerable impact on the historic fabric. In 2012 we objected to the design of the west end foyer extension of the church and the creation of a new entrance, but following the grant of consents this first phase of works is currently under construction. Throughout we have maintained our opposition to the proposed lime rendering of Chamberlain's fine red brick interior walls and the removal of the font, and are pleased that after years of discussion these extremely damaging changes have been withdrawn from the proposals; the brickwork is to be cleaned and the font is to be relocated within the church. It is regrettable that all the nave pews will be removed, despite our objection, and a new floor with heating system installed. However, one example pew and the dado panelling to the nave walls are to be retained, and the Minton floor tiles in the sanctuary are to be exposed and restored.
Manor House, Bristol Road, Northfield, Birmingham
Unlisted, mainly by George Gadd from 1894. The Georgian core of Manor House is one of the oldest structures in this part of Birmingham. Close to Bournville, the house was extensively remodelled as a residence for the famous Cadbury family by George Gadd from 1894, using a Tudor style with tall brick chimneys and timber framed gables. It was also considerably extended as a hall of residence for the University of Birmingham in the mid 20th century. The unlisted building has stood vacant and vandalised for the past decade in the midst of a new housing development throughout the extensive grounds, and so we have long been concerned about its future. Although we were heartened to learn of proposals for the adaptation of the Georgian and Victorian parts of Manor House to form apartments, the building suffered a devastating fire in July 2014. Whilst much panelling in the principal rooms and most of the roofs have sadly been lost, damage to the structure was not as severe as first indicated, and the chimneys, staircase and stained glass to the hall have all survived. We are pleased that the owners are undertaking remedial works to stabilise the structure, and hope that there will now be sympathetic repair of the historic fabric, so that the proposals for residential adaptation can once again be considered.
103 Colmore Row, Birmingham
The former National Westminster Bank, a 22 storey tower completed in 1974, stands as a Brutalist building in the heart of the Colmore Row Conservation Area with some of Birmingham's most important Victorian buildings as near neighbours, such as the Grand Hotel (grade II*, mainly 1876-8 by Thomas Plevins) and the former Eagle Star Insurance offices (grade I, 1900 by W.R.Lethaby and J. L. Ball). Whilst we defer to the Twentieth Century Society for comment on the loss of the present building, we objected in 2008 to proposals for a replacement 35 storey tower, which was granted consent but never constructed. The current proposal for the site is to construct a 26 storey tower, rising from Colmore Row with a glazed 'winter garden' to the frontage, which we consider to be unsuitable in this important location of mainly Victorian and Edwardian commercial and public buildings. We have also objected to proposals for the creation of a temporary public space on the site following demolition of the present tower. In our view such a move is unacceptable without an agreed replacement building to enhance the street scenes and character of the conservation area.
The Hawthorns, Birmingham Road, West Bromwich, Sandwell
Grade II, of 1850 extended 1903. We were very concerned by earlier plans to completely demolish this fine house next to West Bromwich Albion Football Ground. We hope that current proposals will lead to sustainable restoration of this now derelict building as a restaurant and take-away, though the loss of one of the 1903 side extensions and a rear service wing is still regrettable.
Holy Trinity, Belbroughton, Bromsgrove District
Grade II*, medieval, restored in 1847-8 by J.M.Derick, north nave of 1894-8 by Bodley and Garner. We commented on plans for installation of kitchen and toilet facilities in the west end of this large church, recommending amendments to details in a scheme which will be far less damaging than the previously proposed extension to the north nave.
'Sunbeamland', Paul Street, Wolverhampton
Unlisted, mainly of 1900 by Alfred Eaton Painter. We commented on proposals for adaptation to residential use of this long derelict landmark, the former Sunbeam cycle factory. We particularly wish to see earlier structures on the site retained, notably remains of a Japanning works, as well as distinctive features such as some workshop windows.
St John the Evangelist, Kenilworth, Warwick District
Grade II*, of 1851-2 by Ewan Christian. We have objected to the complete removal of pews from the nave and south aisle of this church and the replacement of the wooden west doors with glass. Although the sanctuary fittings and tiling are now to be retained, we have commented on future treatment of the previously relocated chancel screen.
80 Broad Street, Birmingham
Grade II, Georgian glassworks, extended 1863 by J.J.Bateman for a hospital, with railings and gatepiers of 1869 by Martin and Chamberlain. We objected to a retrospective planning application for construction of a large canopy and shelter in front of this building. Although permission was refused, we have continued to object at appeal.
Selly Oak Institute, 648 Bristol Road, Birmingham
Grade II, of 1894 erected for George Cadbury. We objected to plans to convert this fine Arts and Crafts building to student accommodation, as many of the interior features would have been altered, concealed or potentially damaged with the introduction of partitions and false ceilings. Permission has been refused and we await more sympathetic proposals.
The Clock Tower and 106 Harborne High Street, Birmingham
Grade II, of 1885 by Martin and Chamberlain. Whilst we have not objected to previous plans to adapt these fine former board school buildings for restaurant and residential use, we consider current proposals to install catering facilities on the ground floor of the former headmaster's house to be unacceptable with the loss of several original features.
Former Methodist Central Hall, Corporation Street, Birmingham
Grade II*, of 1900-3 by Ewen and J. Alfred Harper. We remain concerned at the poor condition of this imposing, but largely vacant terracotta landmark, with consent for residential conversion unimplemented. We are pleased that permission was refused for the retention of large banners on the scaffolding and urge that much needed repair is soon undertaken.
46 Gas Street, Birmingham
Grade II, of 1864 by James Lea. We have objected to proposals for extension of this former main office building of the Worcester and Birmingham Canal Company, now a restaurant, and an important feature of Gas Street Canal Basin. As the plain exterior remains largely unaltered, the proposed glass box would be an inappropriate addition.
The Chapel, Great Park, Rubery, Birmingham
Grade II, of 1882 by Martin and Chamberlain. We have objected to the design for an extension and internal alterations for the conversion of this derelict chapel, built for the Birmingham Lunatic Asylum's Committee of Visitors, to six apartments as part of a housing development on this hospital site. We hope that a more sensitive scheme will be drawn up.
Astle House, High Street, West Bromwich, Sandwell
Grade II, of 1883. We objected to some aspects of the conversion of the fine former Kenrick and Jefferson office building to shops and restaurants with fourteen apartments. We requested the retention of as many original features as possible, particularly panelling in the first floor board room.
King Edward VII Public House, Lichfeld Road, Aston, Birmingham
Unlisted, of 1902 by C.H.Collett. We objected to the demolition of this much loved, locally listed landmark for road widening. Despite wide public and media interest, proposals were approved. However, surviving interior features are to be incorporated in the restoration of another derelict Victorian pub in Aston.
Red Lion, Soho Road, Handsworth, Birmingham
Grade II*, of 1901 by James and Lister Lea. We have commented on proposals for the adaptation for restaurant use of this handsome building, which with its intact interior featured as a "Top Ten Threatened Building" in 2008. We objected to the initial design for building in the adjacent yard, but were content with revised plans.
The Wantage, Castle Hill, Kenilworth, Warwick District
Grade II, of 1901 by Buckland and Farmer. We objected to proposals to subdivide this fine Arts and Crafts house in a conservation area into flats and build a new house in the gardens. We await the outcome of an appeal against refusal of consent.
and a major case… featured before in 2011;
Holy Trinity Church, Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham
Grade I, medieval with work of 1873-9 by H.R.Yeoville Thomasson, of 1905 by W.H.Bidlake, and of 1914 and later by C. E. Bateman. The Chancellor has published a judgement on this long-standing case for a wide range of proposals for extension and reordering of this remarkable building. Our objections, including the design of the proposed glazed entrance, the replacement of the west doors and inner lobby, the removal of the pulpit and the removal of screens in the side chapels have resulted in several modifications to the original scheme. However, we are disappointed that the chancel is to be reordered. We shall lose the Victorian arrangement of Renaissance-style woodwork from significant 16th century choir fittings of Worcester Cathedral, as removed during restoration by G.G.Scott and then brought to Holy Trinity by the rector in 1874. However, all the woodwork is to be relocated elsewhere within the church.
The Anchorage, 137 Handsworth Wood Road, Birmingham
Grade II*, of 1898 by Crouch and Butler. We have objected to the adaptation of the covered yard to a studio flat, as new windows and loss of the garden gateway will harm rear elevations of this fine Arts and Crafts house. We hope conversion of adjacent modern garages will be considered instead, allowing more sensitive treatment of the yard.
St Philip, Dorridge, Solihull
Locally listed, nave of 1878 by E.J.Payne and chancel of 1896-7 by J.A. Chatwin. We are being consulted on proposals to totally demolish this attractive church by Dorridge Station and replace it with a new church centre. We will object to the removal of the locally listed building, and seek its inclusion within the scheme.
8 St Agnes Road, Moseley, Birmingham
Unlisted house of 1897 by Owen and Ward. We have objected to demolition of this significant though much altered house in the St Agnes Conservation Area and its replacement with five new houses, which we consider to be erosion of the character of this mature suburb. Although permission has been refused by the local authority, the outcome of an appeal is awaited.
122-124 Colmore Row, Birmingham
Grade I, former Eagle Insurance building of 1900 by W.R.Lethaby and J.L.Ball. Whilst the concept of cafe and office use of this vacant building is to be welcomed, we have objected to proposals for damaging internal alterations, notably removal of a fireplace in the former manager's office and demolition of internal walls on the upper storeys to provide open plan office space.
Handsworth Cemetery Chapel, Oxhill Road, Birmingham
Grade I, of 1908 by W.H. Bidlake. We have supported proposals for restoration of this extraordinary building, including reconstruction of one of the distinctive western turrets. After years of uncertainty, it looks as if the chapel will continue in use at the heart of this peaceful cemetery and important open space.
Baptist Church, Yardley Road, Acock's Green, Birmingham
Grade II, of 1913 by F.B.Andrews with Arthur Moor Hall, grade II, of 1903. Together with the Twentieth Century Society and the local Focus Group we objected to several proposed alterations to these listed buildings, including demolition of the attached locally listed Glynn Edwards Hall of 1924. Permission was refused and designs for a larger scale replacement rejected.
Oldknow Academy, Oldknow Road, Small Heath, Birmingham.
Grade II, of 1903 by Buckland and Farmer. We objected to several aspects of a proposed enlargement of the listed school buildings on this site, and the resulting plans were modified. We hope that the adjacent contemporary building with its domed Byzantine style porches will now also be included in the list description.
The Old Steam Mill, Corn Hill, Wolverhampton.
Grade II, of c1851 by William Fairbairn. We objected to the demolition of this fire damaged building, an important survival from the city's flour mills, for the proposed extension of the City Centre Metro through the Union Mill Conservation Area. A revised route is now being considered retaining the mill, which we hope will be restored and converted to hotel use.
Wightwick Bank, Wolverhampton.
We objected to a proposed house in the grounds of nineteenth century Wightwick House, Grade II within the conservation area, overlooking National Trust property, Wightwick Manor, grade I, 1887 and 1893 by Edward Ould, the Tudor style home of the Mander family, and its gardens, Grade II, begun in 1887 by Alfred Parsons but mainly 1904 by Thomas Mawson. Permission has been refused.

If you want to create lasting changes in your life, you must take certain actions. Dreaming big is a great thing. It is enjoyable to daydream.

Leros has fast becoming one of the more sought destinations for upmarket holidays in the Greek islands, and growing in popularity with visitor numbers up each year. Leros is located in the Dodecanese island group off the Turkish coast and between Kos to the south and Samos to the north. Leros has a long and heavily indented coastline with some of the deepest waters in the Greek islands offering sheltered bays for ferries and yachts.
The Greek island of Leros look set to give the go-ahead to a massive wind farm project. Wind farm company Cycladic Meltemi wants to erect turbines on uninhabited islets offshore of the Greek island of Leros in the Dodecanese.
Leros islanders are urging the Greek government not to close its single small airport which links Leros to Athens and to other islands. The airport on Leros island is one of a number that Greece plans to sell off.
The Greek holiday island of Leros may be about to launch an annual boat show and music festival. UK investors are in talks with officials on Leros to stage a long-distance yacht regatta.

When you have a makeup addiction, money seems to leave your bank account faster than it stays. From all the new palettes, collabortaions, and innovative new products to try, sometimes you have to get creative and think of cheaper dupes to balance out the spending. That's why this makeup brush drying rack DIY is so brilliant: It uses something you probably have lying around your house, costing you absolutely nothing.
Shared on Reddit under the sub r/MakeupAddiction, the original poster shared how they dry their makeup brushes after washing them. Prior to this hack, they used to use a towel and arrange the damp brushes on the floor, but OP found that messy and annoying. But rather than buying several makeup brush racks, they instead used a foldable drying rack instead.
The specific one they had at home was the Stainless Foldable Drying Rack from The Container Store, and they just popped it over their kitchen sink and let their brushes air dry that way. This meant that they weren't on the floor and getting underfoot, but rather in one tidy spot in the kitchen.
"Using a foldable drying rack to dry my brushes! I wish I thought of this sooner!" they captioned their post. "I always got really frustrated laying all my brushes out on a towel on the floor and this makes it so much easier!"
The fact that it's foldable is a bonus as well, because once your brushes are dry and ready to be stowed back into your makeup bag, you can just fold up the rack and put it away for next time. It takes up no room, and helps you stay organized.
If you don't have a drying rack like this at home, some more suggestions were shared in an effort to help you hack this problem without spending a dime. One commentor suggested using a baking rack that could act like a makeshift drying rack. Another person shared a tip they saw previously, posting an inventive photo of tying brushes onto a towel rack with hair ties, letting them air dry while hanging upside down so the wood doesn't warp or glue disintegrate.
To give you even more ideas on how to dry your brushes, check out the innovative DIYs ahead.
If you try the trick where you fasten your brushes onto a bar with hair ties, speed up the drying process along by also including a fan underneath.
As long as you have a hanger in your house, you can pull this DIY off. It's basically the same concept as using a bar, just with plastic hangers.
Hop into the Dollar Store and pick up a tool organizer bar for a couple of quarters. Then, rather than sticking hammers and screwdrivers into the loops, squeeze your brushes into the spaces between the loops to let them dry. To hang up the bar, take two suction hooks and place it in your shower, letting it drip dry into the tub.
Buy a foam pipe from the Dollar Store, and attach it to the side of a bin. Cut slits into it so you can wedge your brushes into the pipe, and you have yourself a drying rack!
Taking a cupcake stand, this beauty vlogger sewed elastic bands onto one of the tiers to create loops to hang her brushes from. If you have an extra cupcake stand lying around that you don't really use too often, this would be a great way to get some more use out of it.
Whether you use a drying rack or hang your brushes from a bar, you don't have to spend a dime to get your brushes clean. Cosmetic hacks for the win!

These 4 maps show how China is dominating global trade
Jeff Desjardins, Visual Capitalist

Jerry Lampe/ReutersChina's national flag is raised during the opening ceremony of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games at the National Stadium, August 8, 2008. The stadium is also known as the Bird's Nest.
We often use big, overarching ideas to help us understand the world and the opportunities contained within. These narratives, which can change over time, are used to create context. They give us a frame of reference for comprehending the news and events that affect our outlook on things.
China's economic prowess is one of these new paradigms that has emerged, but many people still can't really wrap their heads around the scale or scope of it.
It's happened suddenly, and the ramifications are extremely relevant to our investments and understanding. Here's four maps on China's trade dominance that will help you think differently about the world:
China is the world's #1 trade partner
Connectography
The United States is the number one trading partner for 56 countries, with important relationships throughout North America, South America, and Western Europe.
Meanwhile, China is the top partner for 124 countries, dominating trade in Asia, Eastern Europe, Africa, and Australia.
China's sphere of influence
This map shows the portion of trade conducted by each country with China in Southeast Asia.
The influence that China has with nations in Southeast Asia is significant. Most trade is in double-digit percentages, and China views this as its immediate sphere of influence. Throughout history, territories in this region would even pay tribute to China to gain access to trade.
"In East Asia's tribute system, China was the superior state, and many of its neighboring states were vassal states, and they maintained a relationship of tribute and rewards," writes Liu Mingfu in The China Dream, a popular book about China's plans to return to power.
Maintaining influence in Southeast Asia is part of the reason that Beijing is posturing in the South China Sea. In fact, China's coastguard is growing so fast that in 10 years it will have more tonnage than all of the coastguards in Southeast Asia, the United States, and Japan combined.
Building a new silk road for Chinese trade
China seeks to increase trade ties with Asia and Europe even further by building a new Silk Road that puts even Marco Polo's route to shame.
The Chinese transcontinental network, a massive infrastructure project pegged for completion by 2025, is expected to bring down overland travel time from Beijing to London to just two days. Currently, it takes 15 days for the journey.
The project's aim is to shorten the time of bulk consumer-goods transport to Europe, while unlocking the economic potential behind Eurasian cities from Almaty to Tehran. The new Silk Road will include at least one high-speed line that goes 320 km/h, and the network will help to link up 70% of the world's population in roughly 40 countries.
Infrastructure override
You may have heard of the AIIB (Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank), which was officially launched at the end of last year. Initially proposed by China, the bank now has over a $100 billion of capitalization and 57 founding member states.
While this shows China's push for infrastructure especially to coincide with its new Silk Road, there is another very interesting detail: Beijing controls 26.06% of the votes, essentially giving it veto power as most bank decisions need 75% of the votes to pass.
In other words, only infrastructure projects that benefit Chinese trade will likely get the nod from Beijing.

[Press Release] Cebuanos unite for a cause
By owrange on 25 July, 2017 in Press Release 0
World Vision Run goes to Cebu for the first time, gains support for livelihood projects
Cebu, Philippines – Over 1,000 Cebuanos got together in the annual World Vision Run last July 16, Sunday, held at the Cebu Business Park. For the first time, World Vision gathered runners around Cebu to run for the aid of providing livelihood projects in a community in Sogod, Cebu. Now on its sixth year, World Vision Run is part of the organization's 60th anniversary celebration of "Caring for Children and Building Sustainable Communities."
In line with its 60th anniversary theme, the World Vision Run 2017 aims to help provide sustainable livelihood projects in a World Vision-assisted community in Sogod, Cebu. These projects will include the establishment of nine Community-Managed Savings and Credit Association (CoMSCA) groups, construction of a multipurpose building, and provision of livelihood start-up kits such as vegetable production, hog or chicken raising, massage therapy, masonry, and food processing.

The Run also aimed to raise awareness and support to its recently launched advocacy campaign – It Takes a World to End Sexual Exploitation of Children. The campaign aims to empower parents, caregivers and children, to aid front liners, rescue operations and legal interventions, and to support safe shelters and reintegration programs for rescued children.
Joining the run were World Vision Ambassador Gelli Victor and Cebu-Based radio jock Jiggy Cerna who hosted the gun-start program. Participating in the 5K category were Gelli Victor along with multimedia host Joyce Pring, while running in the 10K category were singer-songwriter Quest and TV host Gretchen Ho.

Right after the gun-start for the Kiddie Dash category, Joyce Pring and Gretchen Ho took over to host the awarding ceremony. Kicking-off the program was an energizing pop-medley number from the Perkins Twins – Jesse and Christian Perkins.
The finishers were then greeted with words of hope from World Vision Philippines' newly appointed National Director, Mr. Rommel Fuerte, who expressed his deepest gratitude to those who participated. "Your support today for World Vision will truly make a difference. We're doing this not just to improve our lifestyles and be healthy but also to raise awareness on issues affecting children all over the country," shared Fuerte. Following Fuerte was urban storyteller and hit maker Quest who sang Dati and Sige Lang.
Claiming the first place in the 21k men's and women's category, respectively, were Noel Tilor (1:30:30) and Lovely Andrin (1:42:33), followed by 2nd place winner Jong Tae Hwang (1:35:12) and Yshy Losbaños (1:55:56), and closing the gap in 3rd place were Aldrin Pasumala (1:36:11) and El Marie Albeos (2:04:59).
Klint Selma (40:35) topped the men's 10k, followed by Ian Francis (46:36) in 2nd place and Mattew Brenan (47:09) in 3rd place, while Reah Mae Garucho (46:46) won the women's 10K category, with Jelly Rose Casquejo (56:34) in 2nd place and Gretchen Ho (58:11) in 3rd place.
Renz Wynn Corbin (20:14) and Geniezel Saballa (21:41) won 1st place place in the men's and women's 5k respectively, followed by John Cliff Debolosan (20:46) and Karen Manayon (22:34) in 2nd place, and Marvin Cañada (21:33) and Nicole Del Rosario (24:40) in 3rd place.
Erneto Villarba (12:12) won the men's category 5k, with John Niño Vibrel (12:22) in 2nd place and Kent Anthony Paniza (12:42) in 3rd, while Moira Erediano (14:07) had the fastest time in the women's category 5k, beating out Glyzza Besabelle (15:00) in 2nd place and Jeanna Cañete (16:15) in 3rd place.

"This is our first time to hold the World Vision Run in Cebu so we were surprised with the huge turnout and the generosity of the Cebuanos," said Genesis Jeff Lamigo, World Vision Public Relations and Communication Manager. "We are extremely thankful for the support of everyone who attended. We hold the World Vision Run every year to inform the public about important issues faced by the most vulnerable members of our society, and to gain the support of the people to help us build better communities and lives for those who need it."

The first part of the text is an analysis of the category of 'Polishness' (its senses, understanding and functioning) with respect to emigrational youth gathered around magazines published in the United Kingdom by Polish students, and then by the literary group The Continents (Kontynenty). We show that among the basic problems connected with The Continents Group one may mention the search for the ways in which national identity could be preserved and then passed on to future generations. The definition of what refugees were supposed to do was different if we compare young emigrants and the older generation (which was shaped and gained maturity before the Second World War). The young generation was open to dialogue, but wanted to redefine the common ideas and search for new paths and means which would be useful in preserving cultural identity. Significantly, both generations were in favour of preserving Polish language and culture. As discussed in the second part of the sketch, this was related to the category of patriotism, as well as back-to-front 'Polish national vices'. In these areas one may observe disparities between the generations; disparities which come down to the opposition: rational assessment vs. mythologization. The former allows young emigrants, who have no complexes or sense of guilt, to take advantage of the opportunities created by the countries in which they settle, and still not lose their bonds with the nation.

Q: encrypt/decrypt password using bcryptjs in node I am trying to encrypt my password field i a registration form I created using bcryptjs but it isn't working
In mongodb, on post the data from the form, the password field shows the password entered in the form instead of encrypting it
const userSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  name: {
    type: String,
    required: `Name can't be empty`
  },
  username: {
    type: String,
    required: `Username can't be empty`

    minLength: [6, 'Password must be at least 6 character long']
  },
  saltSecret: String
});

userSchema.pre('save', (next)=>{
  bcrypt.genSalt(10, (err, salt)=>{

      this.password = hash;
      this.saltSecret = salt;
      next();
    });
  });
});

A: I came up with the answer. I was using arrow function which doesn't have its own this binding. So I tried using the normal functions and it worked.
The modified code:
userSchema.pre('save', function(next) {
  var user = this;
  bcrypt.genSalt(10, function(err, salt) {
    bcrypt.hash(user.password, salt, function(err, hash) {
      user.password = hash;
      user.saltSecret = salt;
      next();
    });
  });
});

Sgt. Mickey Kady had worked for the Boxertown police department for 29 years and now he was seriously contemplating retirement. Sgt. Kady had intended to stay on the police force for 36 years in order to collect the maximum amount on his pension, but, over the past 10 years violent crime in Boxertown had increased 500%. For a town with a population of only 5,000 this number was preposterous. Sgt. Kady's wife Kelly Kady, however, wanted him to stay on the police force the extra 7 years despite the growing crime rate. She really wanted her husband to collect the maximum amount on his pension which was 93% of his current salary because that equaled $100,000 a year. Kelly Kady wanted her and her husband to have a very comfortable retirement.
Mickey Kady grew up in Big Forest, Wisconsin which is 20 miles from Boxertown and was the eldest child of 4 children. Mickey's father Paul was an emergency room doctor and his mother Rachel was a 911 dispatcher. Mickey definitely understood what it meant to have a stressful and tense job. As a child, Mickey was taught the value of a good education and hard work. Mickey's father also taught Mickey the value of saving money.
Sgt. Kady dreaded going to work on Fridays as Fridays was the busiest day of the week for the Boxertown Police Department. To make matters worse, he would be working the 3pm-11pm shift which was always the busiest shift. Sgt. Kady was filling in for another sergeant who took the day off. It was 3:01p.m. when the call came blasting over the radio, WE GOT SHOTS FIRED on the 2000 block of 17th Avenue. Two black males were seen running from the scene. The description is as follows: both were 20-26 years old, both had on gray hoodies, both had on white gym shoes, and both were seen with handguns.
Sgt. Kady immediately felt the sharp pain in his left shoulder. He had been shot. Sgt. Kady had a visual on the perpetrator and began firing his 9mm semiautomatic weapon. Sgt. Kady shot the perpetrator twice in the chest and the perpetrator fell to the ground immobile. Sgt. Kady's fellow officers handcuffed the shooter and called for an ambulance. Sgt. Kady would live.
Mickey Kady made up his mind. He was now ready to retire. At 29 years of service to the Boxertown Police Department he would only get 75% of his salary in a pension, however, more significantly he would now have a piece of mind. One month later Sgt. Mickey Kady retired from the Boxertown Police Department with his wife Kelly by his side at a lively retirement ceremony.

The Presidents of the United States of America Left Their Stamp On Music
September 25, 2019 /in Behind The Cover /by Toni Marino
The Presidents Of The United States Of America Album Cover
This is 'Behind The Cover' – a detailed look at the story behind the music and the cover art of some of the most iconic albums in music. It is brought to you by Pure Music Manufacturing, a CD replication service featuring pressing and packaging for your next indie CD release.
As any marketing firm will tell you, part of a dynamic image for a product of any kind is the name that is used. The same principle applies to music and that is why most bands have catchy, memorable, short names. Where The Presidents of the United States of America scored high on that part of their image was that the name they chose to call themselves got your attention – even if it was quite a mouthful.
The group with the memorable – and long-winded name – burst into the world of music with their self-titled debut album in March 1995. The American alternative rock group hit the music radar during the grunge and punk music breakthrough-era and saw a total of four singles come off of their disk that was originally released independently.
The catchy songs had equally hook-laden titles and verses. Singles included "Kitty," "Peaches," "Lump" and "Dune Buggy."
Subsequent re-releases featured several differences in content and artwork. For example, one released featured a photo of the band with Bill Clinton on the inner sleeve. It was taken at the time that Clinton was an actual President of the United States of America.
A food inspection stamp design for the front cover art appeared in the CD release of the album where the original indie release on Seattle's PopLlama label featured yellow vinyl and two bonus tracks.
But these were not the only variations that existed. It was as if each time the incredibly popular album was reissued, there were several changes made as if the intent was to encourage collectors to purchase each release to have copies of all variations.
An example of this was with the July 1995 re-release. This version had an inside cover photo of the band members (appearing in multiple pictures) all painted in red, white and blue – the colours of the US flag. The CD version of that release had a cover that looked like a vinyl record label and featured completely re-mixed versions of all songs.
Another re-release in 2008 saw the return of the food inspection label cover art that was used with the original 1995 debut edition. This time around, the inside cover photo has a collage of photos taken during various live performances of the band. The liner notes in this re-issue are also slightly updated.
Regardless of the many different variations, one thing never changed – the band's name.

Tremors is Jayro Bustamante's deeply personal follow up to his landmark debut Ixcanul, Guatemala's first submission for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar, which Belmont World Film screened in 2017. In Tremors he shifts his focus from rural Guatemala to the upper classes of Guatemala City, once again setting his sights on an individual caught between two seemingly irreconcilable worlds: a 40-year-old married father of two and practicing evangelical Christian's traditional life begins to crack when he falls in love with a man, which creates conflict with his beliefs. His life becomes a hell of repressive intolerance when his family and his church decide to do whatever it takes to "cure him," forcing him to suppress his urges through therapy.
$11 general admission and $9 for students and seniors in advance at www.belmontworldfilm.org; $12 and $10, respectively, on day of show at the box office beginning at 7:00 PM. EBT cardholder tickets are half price at the door with cash.

Any help will be much appreciated

A: mina-unicorn doesn't have unicorn dependency according to its gemspec, you have to add it explicitly in your Gemfile
gem 'mina-unicorn', :require => false
gem 'unicorn'

Also, based on your bundle install output, you could tell that unicorn was not installed.

UPDATE:
What mina does is:
Fetch the codebase from remote repository you specified in you config/deploy.rb, which is https://kkteja@bitbucket.org/kkteja/salesforce_casts.git, and from the file https://bitbucket.org/kkteja/salesforce_casts/src/ec42bcc304fb581f5b7a0a61b9c073f66b0dffac/Gemfile?fileviewer=file-view-default you could see, unicorn is not it.
Although you added it in your Gemfile, if you don't commit the changes to bitbucket, it won't affect mina deploy.
Actually, you don't have to clone the repo to digital ocean manually, all the deploy stuff could be done on your own machine.
UPDATE:
Make sure your pid file and directory is writable for your deployer user, like the log said.


I found your website merely by doing a cursory google search at first. When I found a couple of websites offering similar services I immediately took to the reviews to find out which of the litigation services would best fit my needs.Your site and staff had a very glamorous and reputable description on many of the reviews. Additionally, upon looking at your website, I was able to glean any necessary questions in the way of how much the process would cost, the return of claim winnings timetable, and even testimonials for reassurance of litigation efficacy.

Nathaniel Mitchell is home and he's as committed as ever to advancing basketball in Canada
When Nathaniel Mitchell decided he was going to coach basketball, he knew it would likely take him away from home. After spending three seasons as an assistant coach with the Charlotte Hornets, seven years since the beginning of his pro coaching career, Mitchell is back in Toronto with the Raptors as an assistant on head coach Nick Nurse's coaching staff.
"It's great," he said. "It's always good to be part of a good organization when you're trying to continue in your career and the fact that it happens to be in your home city, your hometown, it's even better. It's been great."
Mitchell first joined the NBA coaching ranks with the NBA G League's Maine Red Claws as an assistant in 2014, before spending three years with Toronto's G League team, Raptors 905, from 2015-18. Mitchell's time in Mississauga with the 905 meant he worked with a young Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet during their first years in the NBA. Getting to be reunited with the two who are now star players for the Raptors after having been part of their early development years is extra special.
Canada Basketball appointed Mitchell, along with fellow Raptors assistant Nate Bjorkgren, to lead Team Canada's Senior Men's National Team during the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 Americas Qualifiers windows that conflict with Head Coach Nick Nurse's availability due to the NBA season. Mitchell will also assume head coaching duties for the FIBA AmeriCup 2022 in Brazil this summer.
Mitchell's love of basketball predates his own awareness of loving basketball. He has loved the game so long that he can't really remember a time without it. He began coaching while still playing, coaching the junior team of his school while playing on the high school team himself.
"I loved working on my game and I brought teammates with me and I would lead workouts on things that I wanted to get better at," he said. "It kind of just led me into [coaching]."
In his playing days, Mitchell was the point guard on the floor, and usually the team captain as well.
"I remember when I was younger, every coach I ever played for always told me I was going to be a really good coach," Mitchell said. "I don't know if it was because I was the point guard on the team, or because I remembered all the plays and I knew where everybody was supposed to be, but I was [always] trying to be a leader."
Even those around Mitchell who weren't in the gym with him could see what was ahead. During a period when the NBA had been halted because of the coronavirus pandemic in mid-2020, Mitchell caught up with a former college roommate. As they were sharing where life had taken them in the years since their college days, his roommate wasn't surprised to see that Mitchell had made it into the NBA coaching ranks.
"I asked him why and he said, "When we played video games in college, you were always setting up plays on the video game, you always wanted to play the right way."
Mitchell's success may not be a surprise to those around him, but it wouldn't have happened without a tireless work ethic. From his years with Raptors 905 where he helped players like Siakam begin to develop into the All-Star he is today, to his time in Charlotte where he got to work with another established All-Star in Kemba Walker, as well as a young phenom in LaMelo Ball, Mitchell's approach has remained the same.
"The things I really take joy in are the people I work with or people who have worked for me who have been able to go on and have success," he said. "The people who have helped me along my journey, that was one of their things that drove them and it was passed on to me and I want to continue to do that.
Because Mitchell's focus is firmly on helping his players continue to excel and improve, there is an easy mutual respect formed between him and the players he works with. The relationships he's built over his career have endured even after he has moved on to his next stop.
"I think when you do things the right way and you treat people the right way, you end up keeping those things forever," he said.
When news of Mitchell's homecoming began to leak late this summer, the family group chat was busy, with everyone rushing to congratulate him. Perhaps the only downside to returning home was needing to set realistic expectations about ticket requests. During his three seasons with Charlotte, Mitchell usually had two visits a year to Scotiabank Arena. He now has 42 regular season games there, and plenty of friends and family who are excited to watch him work as a member of the coaching staff on Toronto's bench.
Mitchell returned to Toronto not because it was home, but because he felt he could continue to develop and grow as a coach within the organization.
"When you're in this business and you're coaching, you're always trying to find the best fit for you to help an organization win," he said. "I didn't even factor in the being home piece [of the puzzle], it was more of a bonus. I think that's a testament to the organization that I've decided to come back to."
Another bonus has been getting to see the growth of the people around him, including many of the faces he worked alongside during his time with the Raptors 905 organization.
"When I was with 905, Nick Nurse was the assistant coach," Mitchell said. "I left the year he got hired as head coach. We did summer league together before I took the job in Charlotte. There's so many people that were with 905, Dan Tolzman, John Wiggins, Chad Sanders, there have been so many people that have moved up doing their thing with the Raptors."
One thing that has always been at the forefront for Mitchell, regardless of where he is coaching, is helping to advance basketball in Canada.
"I am committed to our young players getting better and our young coaches continuing to get better in our country as a whole," he said. I'm big on developing our coaches and I'm always trying to be someone who is an outlet or resource for the young coaches coming up."
From working out players during his own summer offseason, to answering calls and texts from other young coaches in Canada who are striving to grow their own careers, Mitchell is always ready to give back when it comes to basketball in Canada.
"Being here, or wherever I am, I'm always in debt to the country to give back and make sure it's growing," he said. "We need our young players and our young coaches to keep growing and continuing to get better so that our country is growing and I think we're going in the right direction. Anything we can do to keep advancing."


I honestly thought I would never in my life write that there are any benefits to being bipolar. The very worst times of my life have been when I have been unwell, and my life has been forever changed because of my illness.
Now, some ten years since diagnosis, I have come to a position of wellness. I can't claim to be cured, although my hope is that I don't get ill again, obviously. I still have bipolar disorder, but it is currently in a period of remission, and I feel as well now as I did back before I got the condition.
Difficult though it is I can see some "benefit" to being bipolar. The main one being that I appreciate, I love my life now that I am feeling well far more than I ever did before I became ill. I feel joyful knowing I am well, that my mind is my own again, precisely because I have experienced the reverse. It may seem to be a poor benefit, and I would be lying if I said I wouldn't swap this life for one free from illness, but it is a silver lining in the dark cloud that is my illness.
There are other benefits, that I have mentioned before, other reasons why I am able to look at my life and my mental health and still say "God is good". I believe that I would not have the compassion for others, especially others with mental health problems, that drives my life today if I had never experienced mental distress myself. My ambition in life now is to work as a chaplain to a mental hospital, and my particular interest really lies in people like myself, as I think is natural, that is people who have bipolar/depression and particularly self-harmers. A very secret hope of mine is that someday I will have the chance to speak to a young person about self injury, about my experience and give some hope – and also say not just that it does get better, but that God doesn't condemn them, doesn't hate them, that they are not possessed or especially sinful, that Jesus understands their pain and understands what it is to live a life scarred and misunderstood.
Unfortunately I don't know any young people, and am very shy. Although that too is better than it was – when I was a teenager I was so painfully shy I only spoke in whispers and tried my hardest to show no emotion on my face. I still walk with a slight stoop from years of trying to make myself as small as possible so that no one would notice me. Years of effort have slowly helped me with the shyness (although frankly it would have helped if someone had done something when I was a teenager) and I am much better at talking to people now. In fact I'd say most people are unaware that I feel anxious when talking to new people, as I mostly keep it under control and rarely collapse into the shaking, stammering and hyperventilating wreck that I used to. Again, I appreciate and love talking to people now, I love the easy way I can communicate and I love being able to smile, and seeing people smile back.
This weird benefit, this weird way that I appreciate good things because I have experienced the opposite is something I can see in other areas. I love reading exciting testimonies, stories of murderers, drug dealers, gang members who come to Christ, and are changed. I partly love this because their world (as it was) is so very different to my own, but also because you can see the difference in their lives so much clearer than in my own (I admit to feeling a little envious!).
In my last church there was a man who, in his youth, had killed a man in a sectarian struggle in Northern Ireland. When he told me I could not believe it – this was the man who I first saw absolutely covered in children who were sticking stars to his head! He babysits for many of the parents in the church and is a genuinely lovely guy. When he told me of his past I thought, what a wonderful witness to Jesus this man really is. To become the man I know he must have been changed. He is now a man of tolerance and peace and works to bring others to Christ – something I am sure he is good at, because he comes from the sort of background that other people – other men – from similar backgrounds would respect.
Sometimes it feels as though if only I had sinned more then I would feel and understand the grace of God more – of course I know this is not a good thing! I cannot, now, sin deliberately – as Paul says in Romans – I must learn to appreciate that while I cannot say I committed a huge sin and was forgiven, I can say that I deserved death and was given life, regardless of the "seriousness" of my sin, God was still far from me, and for me he still came near.
The older son is an eloquent picture of the scribes and Pharisees. They resented God's showing mercy to outrageous sinners. To their way of thinking, if not to God's, they had served Him faithfully, had never transgressed His commandments, and yet had never been properly rewarded for all of this. The truth of the matter was that they were religious hypocrites and guilty sinners. Their pride blinded them to their distance from God, and to the fact that He had lavished blessing after blessing upon them. If they had only been willing to repent and to acknowledge their sins, then the Father's heart would have been gladdened and they too would have been the cause of great celebration.
Lord, make me aware of all You have done for me, and let me rejoice in my salvation, in Your sacrifice for my sins. Let me not think I am more worthy than another, but see myself as a child who was as in need of grace as the chief of sinners. And see myself as someone lucky enough to receive that grace, by Your will. Let me appreciate You, and in this time free from illness may I learn to love You more, and serve You better, and to reach out to those who are suffering as I once was.
