STRICTER CSR REPORTING REQUIREMENTS IN THE EU FROM 2023: WILL EXTERNAL ASSURANCE BECOME MANDATORY?
If the EU Commission gets its way, many companies in the EU will have to adapt to stricter requirements for their sustainability reporting. The Commission has launched a proposal to amend the CSR Directive (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive), extending the scope and enforcing stricter rules. One of the main changes would be that the so-called external assurance, an audit by an independent third party, becomes mandatory. We have summarized the main changes for you below.
WHY WAS A REVISION OF THE NON-FINANCIAL REPORTING DIRECTIVE (NFRD) NECESSARY?
The Non-Financial Reporting Directive introduced important rules for listed companies with more than 500 employees to report on their sustainability policies and practices. However, the Commission believes that the current guidelines are not sufficient: reporting is often incomplete, there is a lack of comparability and information on risks is often insufficient. As a result, investors lack a reliable overview of sustainability-related risks to which companies are exposed. High-quality and reliable public reporting by companies will help create a culture of greater public accountability.
IN THE FUTURE, COMPANIES WITH FEWER THAN 500 EMPLOYEES WILL ALSO BE REQUIRED TO REPORT
The new regulation will bring more companies under the obligation to report on sustainability. The new proposal extends the scope to all large companies – regardless of whether they are listed on the stock exchange and without the previous threshold of 500 employees. This change means that in the future all large companies will have to account to the public for their social and environmental footprint. The Commission also proposes to extend the scope of reporting requirements to listed small and medium-sized enterprises, with the exception of listed micro-enterprises, but with simplified standards. To this end, the Commission proposes to develop a set of uniform standards for small and medium-sized enterprises to improve their transparency and reduce costs.
EU REPORTING STANDARDS IN AN INTERNATIONAL CONTEXT
EU sustainability reporting standards should be consistent with the objectives and regulations of the European Green Deal and the existing legal framework. Moreover, they should cover not only the risks of companies, but also the impact of their actions on society and the environment. In this regard, the Commission supports the efforts of the G20, the Financial Stability Board and other international organizations to develop a baseline of sustainable reporting standards and build on the work of the Task Force on Climate Disclosures.
EXTERNAL AUDITS TO BECOME MANDATORY
Under the proposal, all covered companies will be required to commission an external audit to verify the reliability of the sustainability information they report. Such an external audit is now already used by many companies to ensure the credibility of their reporting and reduce the likelihood of errors. So far, however, external assurance has been optional – if the draft is adopted in this form, external assurance would be mandatory.
WHAT'S THE NEXT STEP?
The next step is for the European Parliament and the member states in the Council to negotiate a final legislative text based on the Commission's proposal. At the same time, EFRAG will also start work on a draft standard on sustainability reporting and complete it by around mid-2022.
The Commission's timetable will depend on how negotiations with the Parliament and Council proceed. If they reach an agreement in 2022, the Commission should be able to adopt the first of the reporting standards by the end of 2022.

Goldfish test the waters in San Diego
South African electronic duo Goldfish have picked up and moved to San Diego. (Courtesy photo)
By Scott McDonald
South African electronic duo Goldfish are swimming in a new bowl. After spending the last decade infusing electro-house beats with live instrumentation in Cape Town, longtime friends Dominic Peters and David Poole recently swapped their beautiful, native beaches for the ones right here in San Diego.
The lifelong musicians and avid surfers first met in college, where both were enrolled in jazz studies. Their 2006 debut, "Caught in the Loop," was a surprise hit and earned them opening slots for the likes of Paul van Dyk, Pete Tong, and Fat Boy Slim, as well as an Ibiza residency.
Although the pair have only spent a handful of months in San Diego, the move coincides with an exciting time in their career. New single, "Deep of the Night (feat. Diamond Thug)," is just an appetizer for the release of Goldfish's fifth album, "Tipping the Scales," out in spring 2017.
And while this Friday's show at New York's Bowery Ballroom is the last date on their U.S. tour, the pair has plans to have consistent local plays very soon.
PACIFIC recently caught up with the new Southern California residents from their home in Carmel Valley to talk about it all.
PACIFIC: Any factors to the San Diego move beyond that it's a good replicate for home?
Peters: I think you're on the money with the replicate home thing for sure. And we figured if we were going to move our whole lives from one country to another, we might as well live in the best place in the new country. And we really thought that was San Diego from the moment we landed here.
Poole: And we don't like the cold. Goldfish like warm water.
How long have you guys lived here?
Peters: It's only been about three-and-a-half months. We're still pretty fresh here. Pretty new. And we've been touring like crazy so actual amount of cumulative time in San Diego is probably half of that.
Electronic music has really opened up into an international scene, so I guess a home base could really be anywhere.
Peters: There are many reasons why we came here. But electronic music has really taken off in the U.S. and we felt like that could only be beneficial to our careers. And obviously, there's just better access to the northern hemisphere in general from here.
It seems like the right time. The scene has never been bigger.
Poole: Dance music has come of age. The age of the DJ has matured and settled. Audiences are looking for the next thing. And that's definitely live electronic music. Our whole mantra has always been re-inventing the DJ. We've always worked to add live instrumentation and that live feeling you get from watching bands. We bring it all together so you get the best of both worlds.
What's the scene like in South Africa?
Peters: It's exploding as well. We're actually headed back there in a week to do a full summer tour there - 15 shows. And it's our eighth year in a row doing our Submerged Sundays, a massive party with about 2,000 people, right on the beach. It's like the Ibiza/Vegas pool party type of concert with a Cape Town twist. And it's sold out very week. Dance music in South Africa is better than ever. Just like in the states, its roots are firmly entrenched.
Once it starts getting used in commercials, you know it's hit that threshold.
Poole: It's funny you say that because our very first success in the U.S. was a KIA Soul commercial in 2009. It's the one where the hamster is driving around, sees other hamsters on treadmills, drives up to one, rolls down the window and the music starts. That was our song. (Fort Knox)
Were you surprised by the immediate success of "Caught in the Loop"?
Peters: Absolutely. We didn't know what we were doing. We just made it. But there was such a great response to it. And it led us to a residency in Ibiza. That was like going to dance music university. It was like doing Shakespeare before heading to Hollywood to do movies. But I think that's why we're still around 10 years later. We're still growing and evolving.
Poole: And strangely enough, I think we're more relevant now than we've ever been. Or at least we like to think so. (laughs)
Whether it's DJs or live electronic acts, it seems like the music is definitely filtering through to a lot of different demographics.
Poole: And that's where we come in. We fill that gap between the DJ scene and the live band scene. But as this all continues, there's still a huge call for live music. And there always will be. That's what music is about at the end of the day. It's just now, the guys who are producing tracks are also playing the instruments as well. We've always tried to combine the excitement of live performance and the dance-ability of dance music.
What's ahead for Goldfish?
Peters: Our next single comes out on Friday and we've got another single coming out in January. The new album will come out in March or April. We've got a lot of dates for next year booked, but we can't talk about them just yet. But aside from that, our goal is to play here a couple of times a month. We're looking forward to it all.

Lighthouse sees pre-tax profit jump despite FSCS costs
By Emma Ann Hughes
Listed intermediary Lighthouse has reported pre-tax profits up by 308 per cent during the first half of this year, despite their Financial Services Compensation Scheme bill increasing 54 per cent.
The firm's results, published today (14 September), revealed a pre-tax profit of £359,000 for the first half of this year.
The adviser used its latest set of results to highlight the fact it is having "to cope with significant increases in regulatory costs, especially in relation to the funding of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme".
Lighthouse's latest FSCS bill, for the year ending 31 March 2016, represented an increase of £442,000 - or 54 per cent - and bosses said it will, in part, inevitably have to be passed onto customers.
As a result, the group confirmed it is currently examining the proposal by the Financial Conduct Authority to move from a cost-based to a revenue-based approach for calculating a regulated firm's minimum regulatory capital requirement.
The results for the first half of 2015 also showed that revenues increased by 2.5 per cent on the first half of 2014 to £23.9m from £23.4m.
Meanwhile, the firm stated it is part of the FCA's Project Innovate arrangements, where alternatives to traditional channels for advice to consumers with relatively low levels of investable funds, are being explored.
The pilot scheme established in the first quarter of 2015 to test the market for direct online advice using a white-labelled version of the Money on Toast software.
Lighthouse said this pilot has now been extended in order to cover a complete annual investment cycle and also to include additional affinity relationships through benefit management specialists Parliament Hill. Results of the pilot will be assessed "in due course".
Addressing the overall results, Lighthouse Group chairman Richard Last, commented: "Average revenues per adviser have increased further which, together with higher gross margins, has driven a 66 per cent increase in Ebitda to £723,000 and delivered a pre-tax profit of £359,000.
"The group is well placed to meet its market estimate for the full year, notwithstanding recent market fluctuations, and an interim dividend of 0.08 pence per share, a one-third increase on the level in 2014, will be paid on 23 October 2015.
He added: "With a strong balance sheet and net cash reserves of £6.9m the group is well placed to take advantage of the opportunities available to it, particularly in the auto-enrolment and workplace solutions space, whilst dealing with increased regulatory costs and an uncertain general economic outlook."
Earlier this year listed adviser Lighthouse Group announced it had swung back into profit for 2014, posting a profit before tax of £600,000 compared with a 2013 loss of £1.6m.
Its annual results, posted on 26 February, revealed that average revenue production per adviser increased 5 per cent to £86,000 in 2014.

OK, so let me start by saying I know nothing about baseball. Well, not nothing. I know as much about baseball as I do about women, about Africa or about how to teach my cat to stop throwing up on the carpet when there's a perfectly fine tile kitchen floor about six feet away.
But tonight I went to a baseball game between the Vancouver Canadians and the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes. Salem-Keizer is a city-collective that pooled its resources to field a superb A level baseball team. A level sounds very important to me — like getting an "A" in school is very hard, so an A level team must be very good. Full of honours students, perhaps.
Nine other good friends and I showed up and went in and had a good time. It's an intimate stadium, which means that it's small. Every seat is pretty good and people are happy and smiling and not at all ready to punch you in the head and steal your sushi like at the hockey games I attended in Los Angeles.
Hey bloggers, I'm told there's free wireless Internet access is also available in the stands. Shall we go test it out?

We are particularly chuffed we've stumbled across this yearbook of cracking Ivy League wearing 1960s students but the icing on the cake is the fact that the College of the Mainland is on the mainland portion of Galveston County – some of our favourite clothes combined with one of our favourite records plus some 1960s karate club students, oh yes.
The College of the Mainland was established in 1966 and has gradually expanded since. It's what you'd call a proper local college offering as it does courses ranging from accounting through to welding and covering most of the other letters of the alphabet on the way. None of your highfalutin Oxbridge nonsense here.
Have a look at some of Galveston's finest enjoying what may well have been the best days of their lives.

Candace Cameron Bure's 3 Kids: Everything to Know
Candace Cameron Bure is a mom to three kids with her longtime husband, former hockey player Valeri Bure.
The couple welcomed their first daughter, Natasha, 24, a few years into their marriage, followed by their sons Lev, 22, and Maksim, 20.
"We are a very close family and no matter what's on the schedule, we all stick together," Candace told PEOPLE in 2011. "We have dinner together just about every night and our weekends are all about having fun together. My time is so short with them and I know that when they start driving, it will start to change. But for now, I keep them close."
Since then, all her kids have left the nest, but the family still spends plenty of time together. The Full House alum shares plenty of family photos on social media — some of which are met with criticism. "It just comes with the territory and I can handle it," she said in 2021. "But the second someone starts to criticize my children, or say negative things like [that], mama bear comes out."
Candace's children have also come to the actress' defense on a few occasions, with her daughter Natasha speaking out after JoJo Siwa called Candace the "rudest celebrity" she'd ever met in July 2022. In November, Natasha again stood behind her mother after the former Hallmark star's controversial comments about featuring "traditional marriage" stories on Great American Family sparked backlash.
Here's what to know about Candace Cameron Bure's three children: Natasha, Lev and Maksim.
Natasha Valerievna Bure, 24
Candace's oldest child, Natasha Valerievna, was born on Aug. 15, 1998. Though she had a relatively private childhood, she's followed her mom into stardom in recent years.
Natasha stepped into the spotlight at 17 years old when she appeared on season 11 of The Voice and was chosen to join Team Adam Levine. She made it past her first performance and was eliminated after her second.
Though she's said she is "mortified" by the appearance, Natasha shared why she chose to audition on Olivia Jade Giannulli's podcast in 2022. "The only reason I went on was because there was this thing that my mom told me — she's like, 'If there's an opportunity that comes and it scares you, you should say yes just because it scares you,' " she recalled. "It was a good growing experience but when people say they've watched it I'm like, 'I feel bad for you. I'm so sorry.' "
While Natasha insists her singing has improved, she's turned her focus toward acting. She's appeared in Aurora Teagarden Mysteries with her mom, one episode of Fuller House and several Hallmark Channel movies. Despite her connection to the Full House star, Natasha says it hasn't been easy to break into acting.
"The misconception is that everything is handed to you, or that you don't have to work for what you get," she told PEOPLE in 2022. "Whether it would be if I would get [cast] in a school play or something, I had people and friends that would say, 'Oh, it's just because her mom got her the role,' or things like that."
The young star says her parents have been hands-off when it comes to her career. "My parents are so far removed from my life. They wish that they were more involved, which is actually something we joke about all the time," she explained. "I would say that I work for everything that I get, and I'm hustling on my own, and I have a completely separate life from my parents, or from anyone, really."
Candace previously told PEOPLE she's proud to see her daughter working toward her dreams. "She's doing a great job," she shared. "Sometimes I look at my children like, 'How did I birth them? How did that happen?' "
While acting is her passion, Natasha has also dabbled in modeling — she walked her first runway show with Sherri Hill in 2019. In 2016, she collaborated with her mom to design a charity jewelry line with the brand 31 Bits. She also documents her life and shares beauty videos on YouTube.
In July 2022, Natasha made headlines after she called out JoJo Siwa for criticizing her mom. "Respectfully, someone saying no to taking a photo with you is not a 'rough experience,' " Natasha wrote on her Instagram Story. "This generation is so sensitive and has zero backbone. Grow up. There are bigger issues in the world than this."
A few months later, Natasha spoke out on social media again in defense of Candace. After several celebrities reacted to the actress' comment about telling stories centered on "traditional marriage," Natasha weighed in on the controversy on Instagram. Alongside a photo of her family, she accused the media of trying to "twist the narrative" and called "cancel culture" "nothing but ugly."
"I am lucky to get to view you from a lense closer than most, and see how you are truly the real deal," she wrote of her mom.
Lev Valerievich Bure, 22
Candace welcomed her second baby, Lev Valerievich, on Feb. 20, 2000, according to her Instagram. Like his older sister Natasha, Lev followed in his parent's footsteps and got involved in a family business: wine.
"Lev works for our family business full time," Candace said in an interview with her brother, Kirk Cameron, in 2021. "He lives up in Napa Valley … and he's also in his third year at Liberty University, which he does online." Candace and her husband founded Bure Family Wines in 2006.
Lev later graduated in 2022 with a bachelor's degree in biblical and theological studies.
Lev doesn't appear to have social media, but he has had some high-profile relationships. In 2018, he began dating Duck Dynasty star Bella Robertson, and the pair even attended prom together. "These two are too cute!" Candace wrote alongside her son's prom photos. By May 2020, Lev and Robertson had broken up.
In August 2020, Lev announced his engagement to his girlfriend Taylor Hutchison. "I cannot wait to be your husband!" he wrote beside a photo of the proposal. His mother was thrilled. "She said YES!!!" Candace wrote. "We are SO excited for these cuties!!! And this mama/mama-in-love can't wait for wedding planning shenanigans!!!"
But by April 2021, the couple had called off their wedding. "We didn't make an announcement, but yeah, he's no longer getting married," Candace said in an interview. "It was a mutual decision, so nobody's upset and heartbroken."
Maksim Valerievich Bure, 20
Maksim "Maks" Valerievich was born on Jan. 20, 2002, in Malibu, California. He attended high school at Northstar Christian Academy, a private school specializing in ice hockey, and graduated in May 2021.
"What a day! My boy. My son. My baby. So proud of you," Candace wrote on Instagram. "You have grown so much in character and your love for God. Your joy is infectious! You are and have always been such a blessing to us; to be your mama and papa. We are so grateful God gave us to you to be your parents. As well as everyone who has contributed in your journey."
Maksim went on to attend Liberty University, where he followed in his dad's footsteps and began playing hockey during his freshman year. Candace was crushed that she couldn't drop her son off at school. "So we just dropped our youngest, the baby, off at the airport to go to college and I'm very sad that I didn't get to go to take him to college," she said on Instagram in August 2021. "I had to just drop him off at LAX, and I'm getting no sympathy from someone," she teased, gesturing to her husband.
According to his Instagram, Maks spends his free time traveling, hanging out with friends and being with his family.

I have received a file from a vendor with an MCX file extension. I believe it is a file they use for a CNC operation. Is it possible to somehow import this file into Turbocad pro19 so that I can print a paper template? I did not have any luck trying to open it directly.
From doing a Google search for "Convert MCX to DWG", I don't think you'll have any luck. Maybe the vendor can send you a DWG file instead of a Mastercam file. Maybe try the Mastercam Forum.


Datastick VSA Vibration Spectrum Analyzers now operate twice as fast, due to version 1.9.1 of the Datastick Spectrum suite of software that runs on the handheld analyzer. Datastick Spectrum software runs on the handheld computers (PDAs) that integrate with its ultra-portable VSA-series analyzers Vibration analyzers to help prevent unexpected and costly equipment failures by alerting users to the condition of critical equipment so they can proactively schedule its maintenance.
Datastick Spectrum 1.9.1 software includes a simplified User Mode, which allows less experienced personnel to use the software without worrying about altering important settings. In this mode, the user interface controls are reduced to the minimum necessary to collect vibration measurements and view alarms.
Datastick Spectrum displays waveform or FFT spectral information on the PDA's high-resolution, full color touchscreen. Data can be shown in terms of acceleration, velocity, displacement or vibration decibels, as well as overall vibration with alarm level display. VSA models are also available for dynamic pressure sensing and impact testing.
After the data is captured on the PDA, the user exports it to Datastick Reporting System software on a Windows XP or a Windows Vista PC for analysis and trending.

Q. Does the library have online access to The Atlantic Monthly or The Economist?
According to our A-Z Publications search link, we should have electronic access to The Economist from 1988 forward. Electronic access to The Atlantic Monthly (find it listed under "The Atlantic") is 1983 to present. There is some embargo (limit) to the currency though. It looks like it goes up to about 5 days ago so that's still very current.
Access is provided through various databases so head to that link and search "Economist" and "Atlantic monthly" to choose the one that works best for your needs.

Banned driver died after losing control of speeding car and crashing into wall in Rawtenstall
Christopher James was travelling without a seat belt and was also above the legal driving limit for alcohol, cocaine and cannabis
Jon MacphersonAccrington Reporter
Christopher James, 29, died after a car crashed into a wall in Rawtenstall (Image: Lancashire Police)
A disqualified driver died from serious head injuries after 'losing control' of his car and hitting a wall, an inquest heard.
Christopher James was travelling at more than 20mph the speed limit without a seat belt and was also above the legal driving limit for alcohol, cocaine and cannabis.
Witnesses also reported that the 29-year-old was using a mobile phone at the time of the collision on Haslingden Road in Rawtenstall, the inquest was told.
The collision happened at around 3am on October 21 last year and no other vehicles were involved.
Coroner Richard Taylor said it's 'clear that he shouldn't have been behind the wheel' and a post-mortem examination found that Mr James died of 'multiple traumatic injuries'.
PC Philip Walker, senior collisions investigator at Lancashire Police, told Preston Coroners Court that Mr James was travelling at an estimated 51mph in a 30mph zone when he hit a central pedestrian island.
The inquest heard that the Citroen C2 'rotated to a point where the driver had no control over the vehicle' and it then collided with the apex of the wall, causing Mr James to be 'ejected'.
PC Walker said: "The vehicle, by the time it hit the centre island, was already at 45 degrees.
"As soon as it hit the central island the vehicle rotated to fully 90 degrees across the road so the driver had no steering or speed control."
The inquest was told that the road had recently been resurfaced and had good street lighting and visibility. The Citroen was also in 'full mechanical working order'.
PC Walker said the collision happened on a bend 370m from the Tesco Haslingden roundabout and was 'only just' negotiable at 50mph.
However he said that Mr James' reactions could have been impaired through alcohol and drugs.
The scene of crash which killed Christopher James on Haslingden Road, Rawtenstall
He said: "It is but it would require very accurate steering from the driver and throttle control. At 50mph it's probably at the top end limit of it.
"The effects of alcohol on a driver are well documented and slow down reactions and perception of issues and gross motor skills [braking and steering] are affected.
"The effects of [cocaine and cannabis] on a driver vary depending on their use and quantities, the proximity to the time and the tolerance of the driver.

"They may or may not have had some effect on the driving ability.
"With or without a seat belt it would have been a fatal injury with a collision of that nature."
He added: "There was recent phone use at or around the time of the collision.
"There's also witness accounts to say he was on the phone at the time of the collision itself."
Floral tributes to Christopher James on Haslingden Road, Rawtenstall
Mr Taylor recorded a conclusion that death had been caused by a road traffic collision and said that once Mr James lost control of the car there 'wasn't any way to right it'.
He said: "We are not here to judge anyone. That's not what I'm here for. However it's clear that he shouldn't have been behind the wheel.
"He was a disqualified driver and he had too much to drink.
"He lost control of the vehicle.
"There was no other vehicle involved and sadly it's how the vehicle then reacted to the loss of control, striking the wall as it did and where it did that caused his immediate death."
In a tribute issued after his death, Mr James' family described him as a 'lovable rogue with a cheeky smile and a mischievous sense of humour'.

Do Fidget Spinners Actually Help, or Are They Just Toys?
By Brendan Menapace
Fidget spinners have been marketed as a way to treat PTSD, ADHD and anxiety, among other conditions. But the science just isn't there. (Image via Twitter)
Last week, we dove into fidget spinners, the newest fad to sweep the nation's youth. Kids (and some adults) are filming themselves performing "tricks" will the ball-bearing-based toys, and schools are already cracking down on their use in the classroom.
And that might be for a good reason. Other than the fact that they can double as projectiles or just be a nuisance, some experts believe that they actually do more harm than good when it comes to calming the adolescent brain.
After all, that was their whole purpose originally: Create a soothing way for children bursting with energy to channel that energy into something positive and, most importantly, not destructive.
From a teacher's standpoint, they can disrupt the classroom dynamic by making noise. A music teacher told NPR that the "whirring" acts as a "siren call" for other students to watch whomever is playing with the toy.
"Of course, [students] drop them, and they clatter and pieces of them fall out, and then they're chasing ball bearings around the room," another teacher told NPR. "It just adds to the chaos."
Back to the topic of the toys supposedly acting as a calming agent to suppress fidgety children: That might not be as true as we believed. Scott Kollins, a clinical psychologist and professor at Duke University, told NPR that there's actually "no evidence to support" the claim that the toys help people focus, and help people control things like post-traumatic stress disorder or ADHD.
"I know there's lots of similar toys, just like there's lots of other games and products marketed toward individuals who have ADHD," Kollins said. "And there's basically no scientific evidence that those things work across the board."
Kollins fears that due to the large number of children diagnosed with ADHD, some parents are desperately looking for help with their children, which could set them up for predatory marketing.
"If their description says specifically that this can help for ADHD, they're basically making false claims, because these have not been evaluated in proper research," Kollins said. "It's important for parents and teachers who work with ADHD to know that there are very well studied and documented treatments that work, and that they're out there, so there's not really quick and easy fixes like buying a toy. It's important that people don't get into trying these fads when we do have treatments that can help these kids."
However, while fidget spinners haven't been proven to help with things like ADHD or anxiety, the proof of their popularity is in the pudding. They're everywhere right now. And whether or not children seek them out as a means of therapy or just as a fun toy to spin around on their fingers, they're at peak popularity. And that makes for great promotional items. Distributors would be wise to avoid preaching their therapeutic benefits just yet, though, until the proper scientific evidence comes out.

It was a chilly Saturday when we made our way up the Federal Highway to Goulburn to participate in Alison's Quill and Bamboo making workshop at her lovely home. Brian and Mike both took newspapers and books to pass the time while the workshop was on with the promise of lunch at Roses café in Goulburn.
As it turned out everybody quickly became involved in the workshop. Alison and all the people already at the workshop were very welcoming and Alison very quickly had us all involved in quill and bamboo pen making.
Alison demonstrated the process of making pens out of the flight feathers of pheasants. Her instructions were very clear so even novices like us were able to achieve success in quill making.
The quills had already been soaked for about 24 hours. The next step was to clear out the membrane before pushing the quill tip into hot sand. When the quill was nearly transparent it was time to shape it into a pen and ready for use. Alison also showed us how to make a reservoir out of a strip cut from aluminium cans.
We then had a go at making pens out of bamboo. Mike and Brian really enjoyed this and ended up making quite a number.
It was a very pleasant and rewarding morning. We ended up taking home quite a number of quills and pens that we had made. Even though some of these quills included some left handed quills (the feather should angle away from the calligrapher's ear) and despite Allison's assurances that left handers can be successful calligraphers Brian still thinks that he'll leave that to me.
Lunch at Roses Café was very pleasant with good company.

Stay-at-Home Diaries | Silvana Gutierrez, Alumna
On Thursday, March, 19, Los Angeles residents were asked to stay in their residences and limit all activities outside of their homes beyond what is necessary for essential tasks. Days later, PCM adapted its lessons and programs and launched a "distance learning" spring quarter.z
For this series, we're checking in with students, instructors, and staff members to see how they're managing and how distance learning (and teaching) is working for them.
PCM: Where are you right now and who are you with?
SG: I am currently at home in Washington, D.C. I live with three housemates (one of whom is a 10-year old black lab named Marley.) 🙂
PCM: How are you feeling and how have you adjusted to life at home?
SG: I've made life at home very enjoyable over these last few weeks by pursuing meaningful activities: regular exercise, meditation, extensive reading, participating in virtual family dinners, and spending time with my friends over virtual lunches or movie "watch parties." I initially struggled with strained eyesight; working from home and completing my graduate studies online means spending the majority of my day on my computer. However, I learned to take frequent breaks and tinker with the brightness, contrast, and color settings on my screens according to how I am feeling each day. These small adjustments have helped me immensely!
PCM: What does a typical day look like for you right now?
SG: I meditate, set goals for the day, have breakfast while responding to emails and reading the news, and then hop right into my workday. This morning ritual has helped to build structure and consistency. After work, I'm usually in class or exercising. I am currently enrolled in an evening MBA program and my classes take place 2-3 times per week from 6:30pm-9:30pm. When I'm not in class, I like to walk a 6 mile loop around my neighborhood after dinner. I read for about a half hour before going to sleep; I'm working my way through a book recently published by one of my professors ("Rethinking Success" by Doug Holladay.)
PCM: How have you engaged with music during this time – are you practicing or watching concerts online?
SG: Music has always been a wonderful part of my life. Given the extra time on my hands, I have devoted a significant portion of it to practicing my violin. It has been a lovely and enriching experience to work through familiar and new pieces. I am spending this month learning songs from films.
PCM: What are you most looking forward to when this is all over? What, if anything, will you miss?
SG: I'm grateful that I attended a magnificent concert at the Kennedy Center three weeks before D.C. issued stay-at-home orders (Akiko Suwanai played the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto). I am most looking forward to experiencing the immense energy and buzz of live events, like this one at the Kennedy Center, and visiting my favorite places in Southern California once again. I think I will miss how reflective we, certainly I and my loved ones, have become during this time. I hope we all carry this renewed sense of reflection and resilience with us moving forward.
Alumni Voices | George Daghlian
On August 25th at 5 p.m., the Daghlian Ensemble will hold a concert in Barrett Hall to benefit Atria Connect, a new non-profit co-founded by PCM alum George Daghlian. George started the project with several of his peers at Caltech, where he's entering his third year and majoring in biology with a goal of pursuing an MD-PhD in pediatric neurosurgery and medical engineering.
PCM Homecoming | Erica Lee
At the end of every school year, PCM seniors graduate from high school and move on to new chapters in their lives. In an effort to re-experience the nostalgia of my grade school youth that I, and my friends, yearn for, I am ecstatic to share that, with the generous help of the PCM staff, PCM will be hosting an alumni recital on August 17th, at 7 p.m., in Barrett Hall. I hope this endeavor can help create a space for former students to revisit campus, perform alongside their friends in a safe space, and reconnect with one another.
Pursuing a Career in Music | Erica Lee
"As an incoming junior, the fears of an uncertain future are now pressing issues that require immediate attention as I looked toward the next phase of my life -- past my undergraduate education. While there are plenty of causes for concern, the critical question of, 'what do I really want to do for the rest of my life?' is one that I have never found an answer to." - Erica Lee
Eric Lifland
Eric Lifland began his studies at PCM in 2002 with then piano teacher, Andrew Norman. He continued with Annie Chen and studied chamber music with Barbara Mullens-Geier, Rebecca Merblum and Patrick Rosalez, graduating in 2012. He is now back in Los Angeles, working with Education Through Music LA and the LA Children's Chorus, and on December 8, 2019, Eric made his conducting debut at Walt Disney Concert Hall. PCM recently sat down with Eric to hear about that experience and his career in music education.

ABOUT WPSSFBA
The first meeting of the West Point Society of San Francisco was held in 1948 at the Presidio where the alumni of the United States Military Academy, officers stationed with the Sixth Army at the Presidio, those that retired from Active Duty, and who saw action in World War I and II, elected Harold F. Nichols, Class of 1913, as the Society's first president.
It is supposed that the original name of the group was the West Point Society of San Francisco. It was not until many years later that the concept of a Bay Area society emerged.
The charter now reads:
The objective of the Society is to provide a nonprofit, charitable organization in which graduates and former cadets of the United States Military Academy, West Point, New York, may continue their associations and through which they may cooperate to further the ideals of their Alma Mater.
Mary Paul and the Society
For the very few that don't know, Mary Paul faithfully served as Secretary, Scribe, Administrative Assistant and sometimes acting President of the Society. She served the Society for the past 40 years and has been the link of Grads in the Bay area to West Point.
Mary Paul's association began in 1958 when she was assigned as a secretary to COL Robert S. Ports '30. COL Ports was Headquarters Commandant of Special Troops at the Presidio at that time and simultaneously served on the Board of Governor's as Secretary to the Society. As Mary Paul stated, "he loved to write and had me assist in keeping the records of the Society". He retired in 1960, but because Mary Paul did such an outstanding job, she was asked to keep the Board's files and did so for many years.

1995. For fiscal year 1995, membership rose to 195. The Society held their Founders Day dinner for the last time at the Presidio Officers Club. MG Mallory was the featured speaker. The Society hosted a dinner for the coaches, players and parents of the Army Rugby in May 1995. The Rugby team competed in the National Collegiate Championships held at UC-Berkeley on 6 - 7 May 1995. It was a rare event to have a team from the Academy compete in our local area and thanks to all members that attended the dinner and to those that were cheering the team at the field. Unfortunately, Army suffered a heartbreaking loss (by 1 point) in the semi-final match, at the hands (and feet) of the Air Force Academy.
1996. For fiscal year 1996, membership in the Society stands at 180 and should reach or exceed 195 by year end. The Society held their Founders Day dinner for the first time outside the Presidio on 16 March 1996 at the Hyatt Regency in Burlingame. The evening began at 6:00 pm in the breathtaking 10-Story Atrium Lobby with 147 in attendance. Phil Connolly '82, our Society President, acted as the evening's MC and introduced the Society's oldest graduate, James Brett '30. Vernon Gilbert '39 gave us his very interesting remarks representing the oldest graduates. David C. Stone '89 was introduced as our youngest graduate in attendance. MG (Ret) Joseph P. Franklin '55 spoke at the event. The Official West Point Society of the San Francisco Bay Area Home Page or Web Site officially hit the Net on March 11, 1996 at http://www.aogusma.org/soc/sanfran/.
1997. On 15 March 1997, the West Point Society of the San Francisco Bay Area held its Annual Founder's Day Celebration at the Saint Francis Yacht Club in the Marina, San Francisco in conjunction with the West Point Society of Silicon Valley. The event was almost a sell-out as 196 Graduates and guests were in attendance. LTG (Ret) Willard W. Scott '48, was the key note speaker. The Oldest Graduate and Youngest Graduates gave excellent remarks. The location was superb offering a sunset view of San Francisco's famed Golden Gate Bridge.
1998. On March 13, 1998, General Dennis Reimer spoke to us about "America's Army" and on March 27, 1998 the West Point Society of the San Francisco Bay Area held its Annual Founder's Day Celebration. The Founders Day dinner was held at the Lakeside Club in Oakland and the featured speaker was the Superintendent, LTG Dan Christman. LTG Christman graced us with his fine speaking, provided much insight into our ever-evolving Rock-Bound Highland Home, and had some interesting stories about inspiring the 90s high school students to consider West Point as part of their future.

Add-ons are the first step towards bringing customization to all editions of Minecraft and are officially supported by Mojang/Minecraft. Currently, add-ons are only supported on Pocket Edition platforms, which includes also the Windows 10, Gear VR, Apple TV and Fire TV Editions. They currently allow players to transform the look of their worlds and change the behavior of mobs. The documentation provided on these pages is officially supported and endorsed. It was provided by the Minecraft development team in order to assist the community.
To provide feedback on add-ons, please visit the official feedback forums.
Since the early development of the computer version of Minecraft, there have been plans to implement an official way for developers to add and change content in the game. Plans for official game customization date back to July 5, 2010, with the Modding API planned after the release of Alpha 1.0.1_01. It was then stated to be released in Beta 1.8. The Modding API was then rebranded as the Plugin API, with the release originally stated to be planned for 1.3, then for 1.4, and then it was accidentally stated by Curse that it would be implemented in 1.5.
Developers on numerous occasions have mentioned that many changes made in the game's code were in preparation for the Plugin API, including Dinnerbone on July 29th 2014, Grum at the "The Minecraft Team - Behind the Scenes" panel on July 5th, 2015 and Dinnerbone again on October 19th 2015 while working on the loot tables for 1.9. A user replied "I think an official "we're working on it" would really help a lot" to which Dinnerbone replied "We're working on it."
On August 12, 2016, Searge tweeted: "There will be news about the API at Minecon . I'll talk about the things I'm working on and what our plans are. But no more details for now." The next day it was confirmed by Grum to be for Pocket Edition and at Minecon the plan and roadmap for the development of add-ons were outlined.

Thanksgiving Movie Recommendations
Jesse Nussman,
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — It's Thanksgiving weekend and that means many people will likely flock to the movies, whether it be a family outing or just an excuse to get away from all the political talk back at the house. With so many options, here are four curated picks to choose from!
With the Kids: 'Coco'
'Coco' is not quite in the pantheon of game changing Pixar movies; however, even "B" level material from the animation studio is well worth a trip to the movies. The latest is set in a small Mexican village and follows a young boy, Miguel, with a dream of becoming a musician. The only problem is his family of shoemakers have banned music from the household after a great, great grandparent abandoned them to become a star of his own. The whole movie is set around the "Day of the Dead" celebration and sees Miguel transported to the afterlife through a magical set of circumstances. It's there he has to find that particular great, great grandfather in order to get back home.
The whole movie is a feast of colors and immaculate detail. Along with the subconscious world of "Inside Out", the afterlife in "Coco" is arguably one of the finest visual wonders Pixar ever has put to screen. There are catchy songs, from the same team behind "Frozen" nevertheless, a dopey cute animal for the kids, and a third act that will likely have everyone reaching for the tissues. Even if the movie doesn't reach the kind of transcendent heights of previous Pixar properties, like "Inside Out", it's still probably the best animated movie of the year.
Rating: ★★★
Something a Bit More…Twisted: 'The Killing of a Sacred Deer'
There are moments in the latest English language film from Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos that will have you laughing because of its utter absurdity, but there are plenty other moments that put a pit in your stomach like only a masterpiece of suspense can do. It's the story of a brilliant surgeon, played perfectly by Colin Farrell, whose family becomes cursed by an odd-mannered boy who the surgeon has taken under his wing. We learn that the boy's father was a patient of the surgeon and died under his care. We also learn the curse involves the surgeon being forced to watch his two kids and eventually his wife – played by Nicole Kidman, go paralyzed, starve, and eventually bleed to death. The only way to stop it is to sacrifice one of the three in order to save the other two.
Lanthimos is arguably one of the most unique and fascinating directors working today. His first English language picture was last year's "The Lobster", an absurdist comedy about dating culture, and while "Sacred Deer" is indeed humorous in places, it's also a much darker film. From the first image, there is a feeling of dread and the movie's style feels not too dissimilar from Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining". Praise must also be given to Kidman and Farrell, who perfectly nail the kind of staccato, dry line delivery that has become accustomed to Lanthimos's work. Yet, the most exceptional performance might be Barry Keoghan, seen this summer in "Dunkirk", as the teenage boy Martin. In anyone else's hands, this role would be played with much more menace but Keoghan leans more into the character's awkwardness, which somehow makes him all the more terrifying.
Rating: ★★★★
Don't Want to Leave the House: "Mudbound"
The first thing that strikes you about this Netflix original movie, is its profound sense of place. The mud, the grime, the southern heat; you feel it all, which only draws you further into the story of two families, one white, one black, trying to get by in rural Mississippi. Of course, there are racial tensions, ones which bubble under the surface until they erupt in a shocking final act, but it's hard to say one family is really better off than the other. At the center of the story are two young men from both households who bond after returning from WWII. Both are scarred and unsure how to return to normal life. It's these moments where the movie really comes alive. "Mudbound's" themes of race and post-war trauma are deep in American soil and the way the movie treats them is surprisingly nuanced. Occasionally, the movie drifts a bit too from what's central to the story, which is understandable considering the breadth of characters on display, but there's always something around the corner, just waiting to pull you back in.
Rating: ★ ★★
To Tell Mom Your Thankful: "Lady Bird"
Much of "Lady Bird" follows beats laid out by other coming-of-age movies. It's about young love, the bonds between friends, growing into maturity, and most of all, the relationship between parents and children. However, what allows the movie to emerge as a cut above is a truthfulness brought forth by actress Gretta Gerwig, who makes her debut as a writer/director. The character of Lady Bird, played with life and humor by Saoirse Ronan, may not directly represent Gerwig but there's little doubt she has infused this movie with so much of her own experience growing up in Sacramento. The true heart of the movie lies in the relationship between the Lady Bird character and her mother, played by an exceptional Laurie Metcalf. The movie really gets down to complicated relationship many of us have with our parents as angst-filled teens. It's only as we grow-up that we realize that under all the strict rules and so-called bickering was a compassionate love, fueled by a desire for us to become the best we could be. "Lady Bird" is a movie all about its characters and the moments that bind them together. It's under two hours long but somehow you wish it would go on forever.

Top filmmakers have emerged as front-runners in the race to claim the director's chair in the next James Bond film.
Plans for the 25th film were thrown into turmoil after Danny Boyle quit his role as director citing "creative differences".
Mackenzie directed his leading man to an Oscar nomination in the film.
No stranger to a lower budget, he also directed gritty prison drama Starred Up.
He has made a name for himself handling British material in the London-based crime drama series Top Boy.
His interests probably lie far outside the story of a secret agent, and bookmakers have given him a marginal chance of being approached.

Holeby Church
Holeby Church was built in the mid-1200s. Its Romanesque architecture is more simple than in other churches in Lolland island. The most notable inventory is a so-called Holeby Crucifix from the 1300s, which is today located at Maribo Museum. The unusually big baptismal font was made in Gotland. The pulpit dates from 1586 and altar from 1590. It is also known that the preceding altar depicted St. John Chrysostom and the ch ...

Fuglse Church
The medieval church of Fuglse was originally dedicated to St Lawrence but after it was rebuilt in 1595 it was dedicated to the Holy Trinity. After the Reformation it was owned by the Crown until it was transferred to the prefect Henning Ulrich von Lützow in 1689 who gained ownership of nearby Søholt the following year. It later came into the ownership of Raben Huitfeld Levetzau til Kærstrup (1835) and th ...

Young Boy In Military Uniform Stands Still On Busy Road. Now Watch Who Approaches!
The staff at the DeKalb County Animal Shelter are used to finding abandoned and no longer watneted animals left outside their facility. They take in a few animals every week. So when they saw a man sleeping outside one time, they were stunned. The man explained that he had lost his dog and travelled across town, using the last of his money to get to the shelter in hopes of finding his dog, Tata.
They informed him that a stray matching the dog's description was picked up two weeks earlier, but was in another facility, in another side of town. They helped him by giving him money for his journey and getting the other facility ready for his arrival.
When he walked in, he was reunited with Tata, who sprung right into his arms and hopped around with excitement. Love is love, no matter who it is coming from.
