Interstate PR a priority for tourism
By Jenny LeeMarch 7, 2017Industry News & Updates, Marketing & Membership team blog
Australia's South West (ASW) and Margaret River Busselton Tourism Association (MRBTA) have joined forces to raise the profile of the Margaret River region and Australia's South West in the interstate market by forging a new public relations partnership with Sydney-based PR agency, St Creative.
The venture will see weekly approaches made to high-reaching national media, with targets including The Australian, Sydney Morning Herald, delicious., Australian Traveller and Today, as well as celebrity ambassadors, key opinion leaders and high-profile social media influencers. The newly-appointed agency will also seek to work collaboratively on projects with Tourism Western Australia and Tourism Australia, at the same time as increasing media familiarisation visits to the region and exploring opportunities to hold themed PR events and launches on the East Coast.
St Creative is led by PR expert Sarah Turnbull, who was an integral part of Tourism WA's Destination & Events PR team for more than nine years, managing major communication projects such as Australia the movie; the Experience Extraordinary brand launch and first activation the Extraordinary Taxi Ride; Tourism Australia campaigns including Oprah's Australian visit and Restaurant Australia; multiple major national and international broadcast projects, and developing Tourism WA's Advocacy program.
The initiative aims to leverage the potential for growth in interstate visitation, with current statistics estimating that interstate visitors represent 5% of the total overnight visitors to the region. Raising the region's interstate profile will also augment the impact of work currently underway to secure domestic flights to the Busselton-Margaret River Regional Airport.
Pip Close, MRBTA CEO commented "PR remains an important marketing tool which we believe is influential at every stage of the travel decision making process. There is no doubt that having a dedicated PR consultant on the ground on the East Coast will offer a huge amount of value for the region and we look forward to sharing the media coverage generated with our members."
ASW CEO Catrin Allsop said "This new partnership comes at a crucial time as we look to raise the interstate profile of the South West, and we are pleased to be working with an experienced PR professional who not only has extensive media connections, but who has blown us away with her knowledge and passion for the region."
The joint commitment made by ASW and MRBTA signals a further progression of the Memorandum of Understanding formed by the two organisations in July 2016, which sets the goals of working together closely, ensuring less duplication and leveraging resources more effectively.

Liberty Bell Rings for Independence
US #1518 was the first fractional coil stamp to be produced.
On July 8, 1776, the Liberty Bell was rung to announce the reading of the Declaration of Independence.
In 1751, the Colonial province of Pennsylvania paid about $300 to have a bell cast in England to mark the 50th anniversary of Pennsylvania's constitution. This 2,000-pound bell bore the inscription "Proclaim Liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof ." The quotation comes from the Bible (Leviticus 25:10) and refers to God's commandment to the Israelites to celebrate their liberation from Egypt every 50 years.
US #1595 includes a portion of the bell's inscription.
The Old State House Bell (as it was known at the time) was completed and hung in the Pennsylvania State House (now Independence Hall) in June 1753. However, a crack appeared at the first stroke of the clapper. The bell was melted and remolded twice by Philadelphia metalworkers. Soon, its ringing-for good news or bad, for public functions, and for occasions of ceremony, were part of the colonial democracy. Several early special occasions included the meetings of the Pennsylvania Assembly when King George III ascended to the throne in 1761, and to call a meeting following the controversial Stamp Act of 1765. After the Revolution began, it was rung to announce the battles of Lexington and Concord.
US #4125 – first US Forever stamp
Then in July 1776, American patriots composed the Declaration of Independence, a statement of separation from Great Britain. Though it was approved July 4, the document was sent to a printer. It was finally ready on July 8, 1776. According to tradition, the Liberty Bell tolled on that day to announce the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence.
US #C57 was mostly used for airmail to Central and South America and the West Indies.
The following year, the patriots took the bell down and hid it to prevent the British melting it down into cannon balls. When Philadelphia was safe again, the bell was returned to its home in 1781. Soon, the bell was rang every year to mark Independence Day and George Washington's birthday.
US #627 was issued for the Sesquicentennial Expo in Philadelphia, which celebrated the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Just when the bell's famous crack was formed has been the subject of debate for many years. The most widely accepted story is that it cracked in 1835 while tolling for the funeral of John Marshall, the chief justice of the US Supreme Court. It continued to be used despite the damage until 1846 when it tolled for Washington's birthday and the crack grew to its current size. That crack made Liberty unusable and was the last time the bell was rung.
US #U632 – 1995 Liberty Bell First Day Stamped Cover
In 1839, abolitionists began to refer to the bell as the "Liberty Bell," and the name has been popular ever since. The Liberty Bell was housed in Independence Hall from 1753 until January 1, 1976, when it was moved to a special pavilion behind Independence Hall in preparation for the Bicentennial. In 2003, it was relocated to the Liberty Bell Center. No longer rung, the bell is ceremonially tapped. Every Fourth of July, descendants of the Declaration of Independence signers tap Liberty 13 times to honor the patriots of the 13 colonies. At the same time, bells across the nation toll 13 times.

During the Revolution, the bell was hidden in Allentown at Zion Church, which still has a small museum honoring this event
I didn't know that. Thanks for the Information about Allentown.
If all of this is true, and no doubt that it is, the bell should be tapped 13 times today, and every July 8th henceforth.
The Bell or replica should be used.

Why fractional? 6.3 cents sounds like a really bizarre value for a stamp. And why doesn't the Mystic write-up explain this?

Czech - Medaile - Zlaté medaile
Au 986 / 1000
Asamat Baltaev
The fourth and final gold coin from the collectible mini series War Year 1941 resembles the insidious act, which paradoxically became a key to the Allied victory in World War II - the attack on Pearl Harbor. "Yesterday, December 7th, 1941, a day which will live in memory as a day of infamy, the United States of America were suddenly and deliberately attacked by the naval and air forces of the Japanese Empire. We will never forget the way we were ambushed. The righteous and mighty American nation will eventually avert this deliberate aggression and will fight the outright victory, even if it takes a long time. I assert that we will not only defend to the very limit, but we will do everything we can to never again become a victim of a similar betrayal. We can not lose. To do this, help us God. " – the president Franklin Delano Roosevelt A surprise attack by the Japanese forces on the Hawaiian naval base at Pearl Harbor shocked not only the American president and his people, but the entire world. The attack that came from six Japanese aircraft carriers arrived without declaration of war. Following the raid on the Pacific port, 353 airplanes were damaged and all eight American battleships flooded along with many other vessels and 2403 men lost their lives. In comparison, Japan lost only 65 airmen and sailors. While it may seem that it was devastating victory by the aggressors, the opposite is true. Many lost techniques were deployed and the Japanese failed to sink even one American aircraft carrier - a key element of naval warfare, which still dominates the world's oceans. The United States organized a counteroffensive and their victorious campaign ended four years later by dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Imperial Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto aptly predicted the development of events when after the attack on Pearl Harbor, he said: "I'm afraid we have awakened a sleeping giant and forced him to make a terrible decision." The author of the complete mini series is the medal maker Asamat Baltaev, DiS. He dedicated the reverse side of the mintage to the scene of the insidious attack - the Japanese planes attacking the harbor with burning and sinking battleships. The scene is accompanied by the inscription THE ATTACK ON PEARL HARBOR. The obverse side of the coin belongs to the island of Niue, which gives to the Czech Mint the license to mint the Smart coins, and thus bears the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II., the 2016 year of issue and the nominal value of 5 DOLLARS (NZD). All four gold coins can be stored in a thematic collectible etui, which are offered in the Czech Mint menu.

Oliver Horovitz has been caddying in St Andrews every summer for over 10 years. In his time here, he has filmed both a documentary and written a best-selling book, An American Caddy in St Andrews. As both a student and a caddie here, Horovitz has developed an immense love for both the town and the University.
In 2004, Horovitz received a phone call in the middle of his high school graduation ceremony. Rushing offstage to answer, he learned that he had been accepted into his dream school, Harvard University, but he couldn't start until the next year. With a year to wait, Horovitz, a golf fanatic, decided to do a First Year Abroad (FYA) at St Andrews.
Despite being an American student in a small town on the east coast of Scotland, Horovitz quickly adjusted to life in St Andrews. Living in St Regulus Hall, he played on the golf team and took classes in English, International Relations and Modern History. He spoke about the amazing diversity he found in St Andrews: "I met people from all over the world, from Germany, Sweden, Hungary, France and Canada and so many more," he said.
When the time came to leave St Andrews before the summer and get ready to start at Harvard, Horovitz found he wanted to stay. "I just wasn't ready to leave yet," he said. Having heard a lot about summer caddying from people on the golf team, he decided to stay and spend as much time as he could in the town.
Although Horvitz had been caddying during summers at home since he was around ten or 11, he quickly discovered how caddying in St Andrews was completely different. He described how, in St Andrews, "when you start as a caddie, you're the lowest of the low." There is a hierarchy of caddies, with trainees such as him at the bottom.
Horovitz remembers that upon returning home to start his first year at Harvard, he missed what he described as "the coolest summer job ever" – as well as the town, the University and his fellow caddies.
So every summer after that, when he finished his final exams at Harvard, Horovitz would get on a plane and come to St Andrews to spend his summer caddying. Indeed Horovitz, a film major, even wrote, directed and produced a documentary in his junior year about life caddying in the town.
After graduating from Harvard, Horovitz spent two years as a teaching assistant in the film department there but felt he just could not stay away from St Andrews. So he came back to caddy for a time during the summer. "This is when I started thinking about the book," he explained.
Horovitz wrote most of his book – a memoir about his life studying and caddying in St Andrews which made the New York Times bestseller list – in the University library.
Horovitz explained how amazing some of his experiences caddying in St Andrews have been as well. "For most of the guys I've caddied for, it's been the best four hours of their life, this is the dream for them, to play at St Andrews". Although it hasn't been completely easy: "You can also have guys that can be a little more problematic".
There are so many things he loves about St Andrews, which keep him coming back to the town summer after summer and which gives him a deep rooted connection to the town. He spoke of his love of shops and restaurants like Fischer and Donaldson and the Grill House, as well as visiting and helping his Uncle Ken.
"I just love that everyone in the town plays golf, from your taxi driver to old ladies in Tesco," he said.
Reflecting on the huge impact St Andrews has had on him, he said: "Every year that I come back, St Andrews becomes more of part of my life, it's a place where so many of my growing up, coming-of-age moments have happened." Horovitz said that St Andrews is where he has both "learned to be a writer and had success as writer". His caddying in the town has also led him to write articles for different sports magazines.
As he speaks, Horovitz is getting ready to caddy for the famous singer, Huey Lewis in the upcoming Dunhill Links Championships. Lewis is not the only celebrity he has encountered throughout his time as a caddie in St Andrews, caddying for actors and writers such Andy Garcia, Larry David and Michael Douglas.
Horovitz clearly has a huge passion for St Andrews, both for its status as the Home of Golf and the fond memories of his time studying at the University. He would have continued to study in St Andrews if Harvard hadn't been his "dream school".
His great love for St Andrews is evident most, however, in his description of his first year in the town as "the best year of his life".

Gene therapy approach for T1 diabetes could alter immune system to boost insulin
by Michael Gibney |
The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation has taken a special interest in gene therapy as an approach to nipping Type 1 diabetes in the bud, keeping the body's T-effector cells from attacking insulin-producing beta cells.
A team at Stanford University showed in a diabetic mouse model that they could insert an insulin gene fragment into the liver to stimulate the T-regulatory cells into holding the T-effector cells at bay. So while the T-effector cells aim to attack the insulin-producing beta cells because of faulty genetic wiring, the T-regulatory cells are able to stop them from doing so.
The gene insertion halted the progression of Type 1 diabetes at the early stages of the disease before the symptoms were noticeable. The team, led by Maria Grazia Roncarlo of Stanford, also demonstrated that the gene therapy could reduce high blood glucose levels in mice closer to disease onset, according to a JDRF report, and reversed the disease at later stages in 75% of the mice.
This is an important step forward in realizing the potential of gene therapy as a way to treat diabetes. Drug delivery systems for insulin, like needles or pumps, merely alter the amount of insulin available and can be cumbersome and life-altering. With an early diagnosis, this approach shows that it could be possible to severely knock down the effects of Type 1 diabetes, and in many cases, reverse it entirely.

Q: Which is correct? Class starting soon or class is starting soon " The class starting soon" or "the class is starting soon"
Hello, may I know which sentences as shown above is correct? Thanks.

A: The correct usage would be 'the class is starting soon.' 'The class' is the subject, and it is starting soon.

A: When something is going to start, like a class, it starts only once and after that the thing that is continuous is the class not start. Actually start is not a real verb cause it doesn't do anything. I think it is better to say class will start soon. I am not a grammar teacher I just thing it is not right to add ing to start. please let me know what you think about this.

Clayton Wesley Uniting Church, formerly Clayton Congregational Church, is a church building in the Adelaide suburb of Beulah Park (historically located in Kensington), located on Portrush Road, in a commanding position at the eastern end of The Parade, Norwood, in South Australia. The current building with its tall spire was built was built in 1883, although an earlier building (still behind the present church and now known as the Lecture Hall) was built in 1856.

Pre-history
The first Congregationalists (or Independents as they generally called themselves) in Adelaide, led by Rev T. Q. Stow, met in a tiny building on North Terrace, Adelaide, and built their first chapel in Freeman Street (now Gawler Place), which opened for public worship on 1 November 1840. The second body of Congregationalists to form met in a small chapel in the north-west of Norwood from around 1840, and constructed a brick building in High Street, Kensington, on land contributed in 1844 by John Roberts (c. 1794–1875). Various ministers including T. Q. Stow and Rev. Thomas Playford (c. 1795–1873), father of the Premier, preached there until Rev. John Martin Strongman (c. 1815–1887) was appointed pastor in 1849. He drew large crowds, but left South Australia in 1853 without fanfare and never returned. Rev. Henry Cheetham  took charge of the High Street church. Cheetham resigned from the High Street Church in May 1871 and Rev. William Nicholls was confirmed as his replacement in July. In September 1872 Cheetham was accepted as pastor of the church in Milang, where he served a grateful congregation until his death in 1881. Nicholls resigned in 1875, to be replaced by John Randall. By the end of the decade the church had no minister and the building was being used by the Bible Christian denomination.

Clayton Church

In November 1851 a breakaway group formed a separate church which met at Roberts's residence, "Maesbury House". Roberts, who was antipathetic to Stow, but later publicly reversed his opinion, may have led the breakaway in response to Stow's pastorate. They were still meeting at Maesbury House when their first pastor J. H. Barrow held a service there on 21 January 1854. An institute hall was hired for the first public meeting on 2 July 1854, and plans were made for a permanent chapel.
The block of land settled on was  on the corner of Kensington Terrace and East Parade, Kensington (now Portrush Road and The Parade, Beulah Park).

The foundation stone for the building, which was designed by George Abbott, was laid on 5 June 1855 by Mr. Barrow. This was the original Clayton chapel, named at the suggestion or insistence of John Roberts, in memory of Rev. John Clayton (1754–1843) of London, whose three sons John, George and William were also Congregationalist ministers. The first service, held on 13 April 1856, was conducted by Revs. John Gardner (Presbyterian), Joseph Dare (Methodist), and T. Q. Stow.

Barrow resigned in 1858 to help found The Advertiser, which he edited for 15 years, and after an interim when services were held by Stow, was succeeded by the Rev. John William Cooper Drane (1823–1864), who preached his first sermon on 6 February 1859. Later that year the Rev. Drane started preaching (also?) at the High Street Church, and also ran a college in George Street, Norwood, which moved in mid-1860 to Tavistock Street in the city. In December 1860 he left for Ipswich, Queensland, where he ministered for three years and died of consumption (tuberculosis) on 24 December 1864. He was succeeded by Rev. William Harcus, who arrived in South Australia in late November 1860, and was to follow Barrow as a journalist and editor. He was followed in May 1866 by Eliezer Griffiths, who had been serving several congregations in Port Denison, Queensland.He left South Australia for England in December 1872. A manse on Kensington Terrace (now Portrush Road) had been built in 1868.

The Rev. Thomas Hope followed in May 1874. During his time considerable building work was undertaken: a schoolroom  and vestry  were built in 1876 to a design by Thomas English.

The congregation had grown to such an extent that a new, larger church building was called for, to be erected in front of the existing building. Promised donations from E. T Smith, Gilbert Wood and others would meet around half the cost. A design by Cumming & Davies (whose previous work included the College Park Congregational Church) for a building  seating 560 people was accepted and the foundation stone was laid by E. T. Smith on 27 June 1882. The building was completed and officially opened on 17 May 1883. The spire, at  was the tallest in the colony.

The old building became the Church Hall. The Sunday school also grew in numbers, and a Young Men's Society and Young Christians' Union were founded and flourished. Hope resigned in August 1890, after sixteen years at Clayton.

Rev. Henry George Nicholls was the next incumbent. His ministry at Clayton began on 3 May 1891, and served for twelve years; his last sermon was preached at Clayton on 6 August 1903, when he left to take charge of the Presbyterian church in Canterbury, Victoria. The Rev. Joseph Robertson M.A., fresh from a very successful ten years at Stow Memorial Church, succeeded him; the appointment of the Australian-trained Robertson was heartily endorsed by Nicholls. In 1897 the pipe organ was removed to the College Park church, and a new instrument, built by J. E. Dodd & Sons of Adelaide, was installed and opened by the church organist on 8 September 1897. C. Hope Harris produced a history of the church for its Jubilee in 1906.
At his well-attended farewell, Robertson was quick to acknowledge the active support of deacons Sir Edwin Smith and Peter Wood, and the organist William Sanders, among others.

The Rev. Ashley H. Teece, formerly of New Town, Tasmania, was inducted on 29 August 1909. At a special church meeting on 21 September 1910 broached the possibility of institutional work in the district. A contract was entered into in 1911 for the erection of a building to cost £1,139.

Two stalwarts of the church died: Sir Edwin Smith in December 1919 and Peter Wood two years later, and a pulpit was erected in their memory.
On 20 April 1920, Teece resigned the pastorate.

Rev. Percival Watson, who had been pastor of the Summer Hill, New South Wales, church commenced his ministry in December 1920. In April, 1925, Mr. Watson received a second call from the Wharf street Church. Brisbane, and felt obliged to accept.

Arising from the suggestion of Rev. P. Watson, the Rev. C. C. Watts, assistant minister of Collins Street Independent Church, Melbourne, was called in July, and served until late 1929, when despite pleas from both Clayton and the newly formed Luhrs Road Church, South Payneham to remain, he accepted a call to Victor Harbor.

The Rev A. C. Newbury, minister of the Chatswood, New South Wales, Congregational Church accepted a call to take over the pastorate, and was inducted into Clayton Church at the end of February 1930. He left for the Henley Beach church in October 1940.

Rev. J. H. Ralph of Tasmania was offered the pastorate, but he declined, but Rev. T. Rees Thomas of Subiaco, Western Australia accepted and began at Clayton in February 1942. Late in 1947 he accepted a call to the City Church, Brisbane, where he served with distinction until 1981.

Rev J. F. Dickinson (22 November 1900 – 1975)  was inducted to the pastorate on 5 September 1948 and served to 1955, when he took over the pastorate at Victor Harbor.

In 1965 Clayton Church decided to establish Clayton Church Homes for the aged in Norwood, the first stage of which was opened in March 1968.

In April 1973 the Norwood Wesley Methodist and Clayton Congregational churches formally merged, just four years before their parent churches combined as the Uniting Church in Australia, and Clayton became Clayton Wesley Uniting Church. In October 2000, St Morris Uniting Church and Clayton Wesley Uniting Church congregations amalgamated.

Music
Clayton Wesley Uniting Church, and before the amalgamation, Clayton Congregational Church and Norwood Wesley Church have a long history of using sacred music and choirs to enhance worship, build community, and reach out to and provide an 'entry' point for people to be involved in the Church and thus the life of faith. Current Director of Music, Mandy Hutchinson, oversees a budget that is used from time to time for regular Sunday worship service and particularly for special events like Christmas Eve and Easter Sunday, to welcome others into the Church's community.

Organists include Pip Parkin, Matthew Atherton, and Ashleigh Tobin, supported by guest musicians, including singers Rachel Bruerville, Andrew Linn, Macintyre Howie Reeves, Victoria Coxhill, and pianist James Huon George.

Prominent members
Notable members of the church include:
 Thomas Caterer
 Ebenezer Cooke
 George Doolette
 Henry Dunstan
 Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Glyde
 T. G. Griffin
 Sir Herbert Phillipps
 Sir Edwin Thomas Smith
 Augustine Stow
 George Wells
 John Witty
 Gilbert Wood and his son Peter

Martin Scorsese's BOXCAR BERTHA
June 6, 2019 June 5, 2019 by Frank Mengarelli, posted in Film Review
BOXCAR BERTHA is not only an aesthetic precursor to Martin Scorsese's seminal picture, THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST but also a thematic one. It is equal parts a love story between the lead, Barbara Hershey, and man, David Carradine but also Scorsese's most Americana film that encompasses the life of the 1930s through craps games, bank robberies, and our heroes riding the rails.
The film is very low budget and not as polished as those of us who have followed Scorsese's career are used to. It's rough and hard, playing less like a Scorsese picture and more like a less tuned version of BADLANDS or some early Malick movie that time forgot; yet the film plays more like an exploitation than something whimsical.
In typical Scorsese fashion, he has his core ensemble of actors who would again appear in later works, Hershey, Carradine, Barry Primus, Harry Northrup, and Victor Argo. And naturally, the film features a cameo by Scorsese himself. Bernie Casey is also featured in an excellent turn, who brutishly rounds out the gang.
In the film's less than ninety minute runtime, a lot of ground gets covered, and the plot devices and the pacing is slightly out of sync but works towards the film's advantage. Through it's exploration of sex and violence, this was the first "studio" film where Scorsese honed his skills as one of cinema's most important auteurs.
Hershey gives a marvelous performance as a young woman who accidentally gets ensnared in a fight between the railroad and its workers, becoming the eye of Carradine's storm. Big Bill Shelley is his name, and busting up the railroad is his game. Carradine is such a magnificent bastard in the film, and wonderfully chews each scene he is in. John Carradine, his father, gets a very fun, albeit, brief role as the railroad tycoon determined to bring Big Bill Shelley down. And of course, Scorsese gives us one scene between the two.
It is not Scorsese's most important film, nor by any means is the film a masterwork. It plays like a thesis film he's making as so he can graduate and blossom into the filmmaker he is known for today. It is sexy and dangerous, it is rough around the edges, and has such a grandiose ending; one that is one so striking and powerful, both thematically and practically made, that any serious viewer of film cannot help but absolutely admire how audacious it is.
BOXCAR BERTHA is available on blu ray from Twilight Time and to stream on Amazon Prime.

ECB is proposing a rule to modify the Buildings Penalty Schedule, in order to adequately enforce existing laws and rules and reflect changes brought about by Local Law 141 (LL 141), which went into effect on December 31, 2014. LL 141 amended the Administrative Code of the City of New York ("Administrative Code"), the New York City Plumbing Code, the New York City Building Code, the New York City Mechanical Code and the New York City Fuel Gas Code. LL 141 amended existing requirements, added new requirements, and renumbered existing sections of the affected codes. In addition, unrelated to LL 141, ECB proposes to modify the Buildings Penalty Schedule to reflect efforts by the Department of Buildings (DOB) to update existing violations in DOB rules by amending their sections of law and violation descriptions.

Class 1 (immediately hazardous violations) - $25,000.
Where there is no default by a respondent, an Aggravated I Penalty is 2 ½ times the Standard Penalty and an Aggravated II Penalty is five times the Standard Penalty.
In the case of a default by a respondent, an Aggravated I Default Penalty is ten times the Standard Penalty and an Aggravated II Default Penalty is set at the statutory maximum prescribed under law.
The Default Penalty is five times the Standard Penalty.
New violations that are not Class 1 (immediately hazardous violations) may be indicated as curable in the penalty schedule.

It's taken me until my late twenties to recognise the huge problems caused by gender inequality, both on an individual and a societal level - and now I've opened my eyes, I see it everywhere. As I approach the years when people generally begin settling down and having children, I'm suddenly very aware of how differently men and women get treated, and the huge impact this has on women's lives. It's not right, and I don't want my future to be impeded just because I'm a woman, while the men around me exceed me in all aspects of public life. As a teenager, I was in an abusive relationship with a man who repeatedly beat and raped me. Looking back, I see this as a result of a misogynistic society that failed to teach young people about consent, that failed to teach boys and men that it's wrong to abuse women, that failed to teach me, as a woman, that I was worth more than the treatment I was receiving, that failed to help me when I needed it most. It breaks my heart to think there are naive young women and teenagers out there now going through what I went through, and I don't see any signs that society has moved forward or is doing much to prevent it.


Hailing from Cleveland, Ohio, some of Jenni Cochran's earliest memories are of writing songs. Returning to the USA after working in Vietnam for a few years, she met Aaron Craker (guitar, keys, vocals) who was performing with his band Dr. Vitamin. The two immediately bonded over their shared love of Elliott Smith and The Beatles. They formed Frederick the Younger a few years later, releasing their first full length record "Human Child" in 2017.
The band is their bond, formed on groovy garage pop, soulful vocals, a hint of Broadcast and 60s pop with a modern twist. There is an earnestness to their newest songs on a forthcoming EP, due out early 2019, that rings true - the kind of sincerity born from experience. These songs feel alive and well-lived, tragic, nostalgic, beautiful, and contemplative, all with a solid hook.

As the dirty air enters the cyclone dust collector, it is forced into a swirling movement. This results in a centrifugal force acting on the dust particles suspended in the air stream. The particles, denser than the air, are forced to move outwards, towards the cyclone dust collector wall. They then fall downwards, towards the dust exit.

Google made the Penguin algorithm part of its core algorithm on September 23, and there's been a HUGE shift in rankings since then. I've even seen my site shoot up to the top of the search engine results pages, or SERPs, on several great keywords.
But what is Penguin, and how will it affect your site?
Penguin is a filter that snags websites that are spamming the search results. Google used to run it periodically, but now it's part of their core algorithm–the Googlebot finds, detects, and re-ranks sites that trip the filter each time it crawls.
Penguin devalues spam (junk pages that don't help users), but it does so on a page-by-page basis. If you have only one spammy page on your website, your whole site is less likely to be penalized than it was before Google made Penguin part of their core algorithm.
If you have a website, great website copy has never been more important. You need to work with a writer who understands your business and who can write in a way that connects with readers.

Freshly Ground taking you to the Dance Floor in their Latest album
Njeri Wangari on April 2, 2013
South African Afro-Fusion band Freshly Ground
Everyone danced to, hummed to or smiled at their song Doo Be Doo. And we all remember Vanish, and later on Chicken to Change. Shall we ever forget Fire Is Low with its dance-able tune? Well, Freshly Ground are back with a new album and this time round, they are Taking you to the Dance Floor!
It is injustice trying to compare 'Take Me To The Dance' with the previous albums by this magnificent group, since every album has come with the same style but the message and the music sounds so new to me, if not for the voices, one would swear it is a completely new group every time. The awesome Zolani Mahola opens the first song with her rich vocals, the song Chain Gang being a mix of English and Xhosa and Zulu. 'When I woke up, there we flies around me, abanya bombo na nga la ngeya..' The song is a little difficult to decipher if you aren't South African or don't understand their languages, but the music is easy to sway to. But maybe not, not the first song on the list inasmuch as I love it, finish that and move onto the next one.
The second song is my favourite. Everything describing how
'everything I ever wanted was you…. everything I needed wasn't you.'
It is heartbreak and a disappointment song, but forget the theme, will you just move with the music now? Even with the regret, you get to enjoy it, with the backup singers giving it a touch of emotion that endears it to the listener making it their own personal experience. There is the part where Zolani just hums the tune making this song so touching, and whoever did write it really had their poetry on point.
Are you in love with the strings? Julio "Gugs" Sigauque wows us in the third song with his guitar skills on Nomthandazo, a song I love entirely because of the instrumentals since I don't understand a single word sang. But there's that aspect of good music that makes language barriers break down, Nomthandazo achieves exactly this. There is spirituality in the music too, Nomthandazo means 'mother of prayer.' I'm not exactly sure, but my not-so-sure second favourite track is the duet between Zolani and Josh Hawks, Not too late for love.
A song combining simple instrumentals and centered on the chorus, to describe the lives and beliefs of the South African people, and the world, with every effort made to make it a sing along song. A beautiful song, with lines like 'open up a bigger sky, it's not too late for love,' definitely the song you want to listen to with family.
The choice for the album title was definitely right, Take me to the Dance floor is a test for Zolani's vocals. She urges her man to the dance floor, she's not a child, she's a lady, and she wants to see him on the move on the floor. You don't want this song played if your moves aren't right now, else she won't be seeing you move, only fidget.
The message is a call to all the people. Track number ten on the list, it is an encouragement to them living under the bridges, them with land afraid of losing, them with a voice to sing in, that the world is theirs. I listen to it every time I feel low, the energy, the positivity is upraising.
This is a 14 track album with a single interlude. Released in late 2012, it is the kind of album you'd carry in your car and listen to over and over again if you got the CD. Freshlyground have delivered as per the standards set when they produced Jikajika and followed Radio Africa with an album just as good, probably better, even though I always remember chicken to change. The video to Take me to the Dance is already out, have a taste.

Possession pendant in 18K white gold, set with 58 brilliant-cut diamonds (approx. 0.82 ct).
One chain, two bands. Possession plays on volumes and creates a new bond that is both fashionable and boldly assertive. Possession reinvents the concept of attachment and reaffirms its power, engraved on a small golden band that is itself embraced by a second, extra-large band set entirely with diamonds. As a precious detail, a tiny diamond signature touch enhances this ultra-trendy pendant. A modern and quirky way of enthusiastically displaying one's addiction to Possession.


Reading alfresco-global.properties from Web Script?
I can create a file such as webscript-framework-config-custom.xml (in /shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension) and read it fine - but again, it would be great to have all values in one spot.
I'm hoping there's a way to either read alfresco-global.properties directly, or indirectly via a reference in webscript-framework-config-custom.xml (or maybe even through the *.get.config.xml file?). Or maybe there is a better way to handle environment-dependent properties? We're using Enterprise 3.2R.
How can i read custom properties from java bean.
Can you give some more details.
For your Java WebScript bean impl, you can inject the global properties as a dependency. The bean is called "global-properties" and it's a java.util.Properties type. Then you can read whatever you want from that value.
* Class to read property from a property file.
.error("Error while loading property file in KmPropertyReader() : "
.error("Error while closing property file in KmPropertyReader() : "
Is there any way that i can get properties from ..\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco-global.properties file?
you can inject the global properties as a dependency. The bean is called "global-properties" and it's a java.util.Properties type. Then you can read whatever you want from that value.
seem to be unable to expose the global properties.
and I m trying to call 'globalProperties' in my webscript, which is not defined and therefore throws an exception. how must the definition look like??
I think you are confused with your Bean IDs - the bean you *want* to reference is already called "global-properties" - in your code you posted your have actually overriden that bean with a different implementation.

Froome drops off the pace in Spain
8:35 am on 5 September 2016
Chris Froome's hopes of becoming the first rider in 38 years to win the Tour de France and Tour of Spain in the same year were hit by a terrible display in stage 15 when he finished two minutes 40 seconds adrift of winner Gianluca Brambilla.
British cyclist Chris Froome Photo: AFP
Colombian Nairo Quintana tightened his grip on the red jersey by coming second, three seconds behind Brambilla, stretching his lead over Froome in the general classification from 54 seconds to 3 minutes and 37 seconds.
Colombian Johan Esteban Chaves remains third, a further 20 seconds behind Froome, having finished the stage 47 seconds ahead of Froome after riding most of the stage with the Briton.
Nelson's George Bennett is 12th overall after today's stage.
Quintana and Froome had completed the last two stages together but it quickly became clear that Sunday's race from Sabinanigo to Sallent de Gallego would be different.
Quintana and Spaniard Alberto Contador attempted various early attacks before forming a breakaway group within the first 10km of the 118.5 km stage.
Froome was left in the peloton with Chaves and their group kept slipping further behind the breakaway.
Three-time Tour of Spain winner Contador eventually trailed off towards the finish, coming home 34 seconds behind Brambilla in sixth place.
"We knew it was a short stage, so at the start of the day everyone wanted to attack," Brambilla told reporters.
"We were with the red jersey within the breakaway, so we weren't sure, but I knew that I was in good shape.
"I started to believe in the victory 10 kilometres from the finish. I saw Contador was starting to fade and I had to follow Nairo.

Assets of Yorkshire Cleaning and FM Firm Sold Out of Administration
UK insolvency practitioner SFP Group has completed the sale of certain business and assets of CSG FM Limited, a West-Yorkshire-based facilities management and cleaning services business which was placed into Administration on 11th April 2022.
Formed in January 2019, the company provided cleaning and FM services to manufacturing, distribution, logistics, corporate and public sector businesses based in the Midlands and North of England. In its first year it achieved a turnover of approximately £10 million, and a profit of more than £600,000.
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, however, forced the business to significantly reduce trading activity for a long period, resulting in the loss of clients and turnover, while accumulating liabilities.
The company's inability to meet its debt obligations led to a winding up petition being presented and the appointment of SFP director David Kemp and associate director Richard Hunt as administrators on 11th April 2022, in order to protect the position.
SFP provides services to business owners, lenders and accountants that include business turnaround, restructuring, sales ledger management, property services, financial solutions, business reviews and document archiving.
After valuing the business, marketing the opportunity and considering all interest from various parties, a sale of CSG FM was achieved on 14th April 2022 to EEV Management Limited.
Of the 23 office-based and 280 cleaning staff, 15 office and 99 employees have been transferred to the new company, with the remaining staff being made redundant.
Kemp comments: "While it is extremely regrettable that not all employees could be transferred to EEV Management, negotiations with the interested parties were undertaken to create the best possible outcome. We are confident this has been achieved in the very challenging circumstances.
"Amongst other duties, we shall continue to assist those impacted by the Administration – staffing in particular, in making their claims to the Redundancy Payments Office."
