Senior cop speaks at Edson Da Costa inquest
by Sadie Robinson
Published Tue 21 May 2019
Edir Da Costa, known as Edson, died after police stopped his car
A senior police officer has said he was hindered from giving first aid to Edson Da Costa because he was under "threat", a court has heard.
Edson died in June 2017 after being stopped by police on the Woodcocks estate in Beckton, east London.
He was pinned to the ground by four officers during the stop.
The inquest into his death at Walthamstow Coroner's Court heard that people from the estate came out during Edson's restraint.
In footage shown to the jury a senior officer, known as G15, was shouting, "Get back" to onlookers.
G15 told the court on Wednesday of last week that some onlookers "were not helping" and were a "threat to me and my colleagues".
G15 said, "There was no point starting treatment if there's a threat to yourself. You would not be able to administer effective first aid."
John Beggs QC, representing the Metropolitan Police, said some onlookers were shouting and swearing at officers. He said, "At most stages it's fair to say it was traumatic for the officers."
Footage from officers' body worn camera was shown to the court. One officer, G21, can be heard saying, "We're trained to deal with it, you're not," and, "He's going to be alright."
G15 could be heard saying, "Call the ambulance."
G15 said he thought Edson had ingested wraps of drugs to try and hide them, and so needed medical attention.
The court also heard an emergency call made by officer G30. He said Edson was "currently breathing" but said he wasn't sure whether Edson was faking being unconscious.
G15 had previously denied trying to distance himself from the use of CS gas on Edson.
He told the court he was not aware that a colleague had sprayed Edson in the face with the gas.
He said there would be "no reason" to distance himself from the decision to use the gas.
The jury heard that G15 didn't ask Edson if he could breathe during the restraint.
"To be able to ask an extremely violent male during the course of restraint a question such as that is not easy," G15 said.
"I wasn't under the impression Mr Da Costa was choking."
The inquest continues
Grenfell fire Inquiry report is delayed
The public inquiry into the Grenfell Tower fire has delayed its initial report until later this year.
In a letter to participants, lawyer for the inquiry Caroline Featherstone wrote the report was "far more complex and time-consuming" than the inquiry had thought it would be.
The report had been expected before the second anniversary of the fire next month.
Now it will not be published before October and the second phase of the inquiry is set to start at the beginning of 2020.
Natasha Elcock from the Grenfell United campaign said the decision "shows how they continue to disregard survivors and bereaved through this process".
Join the protest on 15 June to demand justice.

Beautiful photos. Makes me want to add Helsinki to the roster of systems photographed.
The city is definitely worth a visit. I would wait for the new stations and the west metro to open if you are particularly interested in photographing the metro. Thanks!

Cele admits to shortfall in service delivery in his department due to staff shortages

Police Minister Bheki Cele has admitted that there is a shortfall in service delivery in his department due to staff shortages. Cele was addressing police members during the provincial launch of Operation Phethisa in Bloemfontein.
Cele said from 2010 to date there has been a shortage of approximately 20 000 police officials.
More than 400 vehicles have been procured to assist with service delivery in various departments of the Free State province.
Police in the province have received 99 vehicles.
"Let me hasten to say unfortunately we don't have enough warm bodies in South African Police Service. As I have given the figures to say 20 000 police down looking at the year of 2010. Though the president has given us some relief with the 10 000 that are at the college at the moment but here we are just bringing the equipment but it comes to policing, we talk about warm bodies not just the cars not just the IT but we are working towards that," says Cele.
Free State provincial government says the more than 400 vehicles, some specialised, will be distributed to various government departments as part of the Operation Phethisa.
This is in response to the issues that were raised by residents of the Free State during the Presidential Imbizo earlier this year. Premier Sisi Ntombela says the aim of the operation is to provide quality services to communities.
"We are going to divide them but we are having mobile clinics. Those mobile clinics we are going to use them for rural areas especially on farms. Will make sure that the rural areas that don't have ambulances, they must have ambulances, that's why we are going to start with them first," says Ntombela.

Guy Spends 2 Years Making a Video Game to Propose to His Girlfriend
Of all the different ways a guy could propose to the woman he loves this is one of the more inventive, but it's also one of those that has the most obvious setup since if any woman has ever listened to a proposal, and many women likely have since many women still tend to grow up wanting to get married at some point whether it's to a man or a woman, then this should have been pretty obvious. Give the guy credit though, he did talk her up in a very convincing way since he gave her a good deal of credit for sticking by his side and doing what she could to build him up. That's one of the best things about a relationship, after all, you build each other up and keep each other going through the hard times while celebrating the good times when they come along. But creating a video game to propose to someone is definitely an interesting idea that would take a while and would require the right moment. Of course, if the guy in question had been developing this game for a while and his girlfriend had been pushing him and supporting him to do this, then he obviously picked his spot perfectly and couldn't have possibly done any better.
The lead-in to the proposal was fairly obvious, but it's something that a lot of people are still willing to admit was kind of nice and needed since simply asking a person to marry you kind of ruins the moment depending on how a person is going to react and what they really expect of their partner. It's almost a ceremony in itself sometimes since a marriage proposal is a big deal more often than not and the tension that rises when said proposal is about to be delivered usually has hearts knocking in chests and people breathing heavily since it is a big moment. People can argue against this all they want, but even if you happen to know the answer that will come, the fact is that the person doing the proposing and the person waiting on the proposal are both nervous, even if they're extremely happy, since this is another step in life that requires a lot of patience, understanding, and a great deal of teamwork in order to make it happen. Some folks can't bring themselves to take this step for fear of what might happen to their lives, others don't do since they don't want anything to change in their life, but the truth is that eventually, we get older, we want someone there at our side, and we want someone that will want us. Being married isn't the end of life, and it's not a death sentence to the fun that one wishes to have. It's a joining of two people that want to start a life together, and despite the fact that there will be compromises, it's still easy to understand that there will be a lot of fun to come as well. What's really interesting about this scenario is that the guy didn't spend two years just for this moment.
It's also a real game.
Obviously, it's not as well known as many other games, but it is a legitimate game apparently that can be played. It's nice really to see that the guy didn't spend two years of his life simply making a proposal in the form of a video game that would become a fond memory but nothing useful later on, and it's even nicer that it sounds like his fiance had a good deal of input when it came to the game. That makes it evident that they're already a good pair if he's willing to take her advice and input and she's willing to give it, since that's what a good marriage is, a lot of give and take, even when you don't want to do either. This was definitely one of those times when the person making the proposal went to great lengths and had a plan that was somehow as perfect as it could be and didn't stand much of a chance of failing unless something truly catastrophic went wrong. There are marriage proposals that are so far out of left field and some that are so elaborate that failure is kind of a given if it does happen, but success means a person will blow out a long breath of relief when they finally hear that single 'yes'. This time though the guy making the game had a solid plan and it was pretty simple to think that the woman was going to say yes since not only did he butter her up in the nicest way, but it sounds like the relationship was pretty solid to begin with.

Case File submitted to CPS in anticipation of Court appearance.
A Jury is sworn in to hear all the evidence and decide on Guilt or not.
The Trial Judge would decide, if appropriate, if the defendant is fit to stand trial, having heard all the legal submissions.
Trial either proceeds or is abandoned due to the defendant being Not Fit To Plead.
However, it seems that I have it all wrong.
Points 4 to 8 are now redundant, CPS decide on Fitness To Plead, Judge is deprived of what was his/her responsibility, defendant never even appears before the Court because it's apparently not in the Public Interest to prosecute someone who may be unwell.
As a general principle I don't have a major issue with that, but why oh why can't the Judge rule on that, as has been the case before today?
On the other hand, it may simply be that I've misunderstood my entire life.
Last Updated on April 16, 2015 at 18.18.
or someone is very worried about opening a very large can of worms????
Obviously it's wait till they are dead or very nearly then we can can all go for it.Why?I don't know why the powers that be want to defend these perverts all it can be is that they are all bloody perverts.I know I would'nt want to be working alongside child abusers.Being a father myself I could'nt keep my hands of them. How there has'nt been civil unrest in this country by now is another unanswerable question..
It is not a judge, but a JURY who decides whether a person is fit to stand trial or not. So it was in the case of Robert Ashman, who attacked his MP with a Samurai sword. The jury said 'No'.
Having looked up the case of Robert Ashman, you will find that Ashman DID stand trial and was convicted for Attempted Murder, he was NOT deemed unfit to plead by anybody.
Having reason to be interested in the Ashman case, I made a special journey from Yorkshire to Bristol to attend his trial, was there for each of the several days & was there when the jury decided he was 'Not fit to stand trial'.
To clarify: You may be right in saying there was (at some time) a trial for attempted murder (insanity not being a defence to that charge). . Though the MP (Nigel Evans I think) survived, an assistant, who tried to defend Evans, was killed, & thus the MAIN charge (when I attended) was murder. Two surprising things: (a) It is usually the Defence who try to get 'Not fit to stand trial'. In this case it was the Prosecution.
(b) Ashman's own psychiatrist originally said he was sane, but changed her mind at the last minute & said he was not.
There is much more I could tell you about that case.

What Does Confessional Christianity Look Like?
Dr. Brian Lee, pastor of Christ Reformed Church, Washington DC, recently visited and ministered to CERF in Milan, Italy. He wrote this article for Christian Renewal. It is used here by permission.) What does confessional Christianity look like?
I recently had the privilege of trying to answer that question at a Reformation Day conference with a confessionally Reformed church in Italy — in truth, the only confessionally Reformed church in Italy — Chiesa Evangelica Riformata Filadelfia (CERF), in Milan.
To say that CERF is the sole confessionally Reformed church in Italy is no exaggeration. The church is pastored by URCNA missionary, Rev. Andrea Ferrari. It is the only known church in Italy that takes the Three Forms of Unity as its confessional standards, and it is the only Reformed church that confesses Reformed standards in a robust fashion and uses them weekly in the life and worship of the church.
For its annual Reformation Day conference this year, Rev. Ferrari focused our attention on the Belgic Confession, which was lobbed over the wall of the castle of Doornik on November 2nd, 450 years ago.
The Heidelberg Catechism is more well-known and celebrated than the Confession, and no doubt its 450th anniversary two years hence will draw a good bit more attention. Though the Confession and Catechism were written within two years of each other, they were written under radically different political circumstances. While the Catechism was created at the direction of Frederick III and the authorities in the Palatinate, the Confession as a defensio produced by a persecuted church, a church under the cross.
But he is also expressing something that he and his fellow confessors had learned through much hard experience and the shedding of blood. Jesus promised his church not prosperity, but suffering. He prepared his followers for that day when they would be hauled before the tribunal, and asked to recant their faith, and he promised that the Holy Spirit would give them words to say. And it is the confession of faith in the most difficult of circumstances, against the most stern opposition, that is the true test of our fidelity to the Son of Man. If we are ashamed of Him, of His Gospel, he will be ashamed of us when he comes in glory. If we deny Jesus Christ, he also will deny us.
Read in the light of these prefatory texts, the confession takes on a whole different significance. De Bres alludes to Romans 10 in the opening words of the first article, "We believe with all our heart and confess with our mouth that there is one simple and spiritual being, whom we call God." The confession is not an intellectual exercise, nor an abstract statement of theological precision made for the sake of proving detractors wrong. It is, rather, a matter of life and death, made in the teeth of a furious earthly judgment, with an eye to coming heavenly judgment.
Obviously, I don't dream of the day when the Reformed churches will once again be persecuted for their faith. Nor do I seek to draw an easy equivalency between the severe suffering of an earlier day and the relatively insignificant opposition we face today in North America.
But there is nevertheless a confessional sensibility, for lack of a better term, to the Belgic Confession that should characterize confessional churches whether they are a persecuted minority, or a ruling elite. It is, nevertheless, a bit easier to sense when you are a minority, as we forty saints were who gathered for worship and study in Milan a few weeks ago, as the sole confessional Christians in a nation of 60 million souls.
And it is this: Pure faith in Christ, truly confessed, will not ultimately be popular. It will draw opposition, from both within and without the church. It will be confessed at a price. While we should pray for the great success of our evangelistic efforts, we should not be surprised if this message doesn't fill stadiums, or win laurels from cultural appraisers.
This point was brought home to me in reading the online comments on a Wall Street Journal article this week, "How Calvinists Spread Thanksgiving Cheer" (Nov. 18, 2011). One commenter dismissed the article because it discussed the charitable efforts of small church of "only" 1,500 members, and was therefore culturally irrelevant. I was reminded that the entire Eastern Classis of the URCNA has a little more than 1,100 professing members.
This confessional sensibility also results in a polemical statement of the faith. No fewer than 21 of 37 articles in the confession explicitly frame their teaching up by opposing errant views — a pattern the confession learned from the very pages of the New Testament. It is also a pattern that we see in the earliest days of creedal Christianity, as the church has ever sharpened and defined its faith in the face of error. Confessional Christians should not be afraid of clearly stating what we believe, and the errors we reject.
Reformed Christians in the west are no longer hung for their faith, as De Bres was, or consigned to the flames (though many around the world are still persecuted mightily). But we are tempted to seek influence, or to soften the difficult doctrines we confess. I know as a church planter, I have often worried how the rougher edges of our confession will sound to the new visitor. Many of us do speak — absurdly, given our size — of transforming the broader culture in which we live. As though we should expect to be welcomed as guiding lights by a world lost in darkness and opposed to the things of God.
We are also tempted to send our missions dollars off to grand programs which are accomplishing great things, we are lured by glossy brochures and internet video. The desire for bigness that permeates our culture, permeates also our church. It is a difficult choice to support a minister of Word and Sacrament, laboring against such long odds to plant confessionally Reformed churches in the challenging context of Italy.
It is a small church in a small storefront in a small suburb north of Milan, the only such church in an entire nation. It is the preached word, the breaking of bread, and a handful of professions of faith. It is a faithful and learned pastor, praying and working that Christ's church might be established in a land of long-dead faith.

→Money RAWR App Review – Scam or Legit?
Money RAWR App Review – Scam or Legit?
Have you noticed how many money-making applications there are in the Google Play Store? I have already reviewed over 30 in this blog, and today, I found another one called Money RAWR!
You are here because you want to know more about Money RAWR and whether you can really get paid for playing games.
In this post, I am going to expose all you need to know about this app and give you my honest opinion!
Type: Get paid to play games.
Money RAWR is an android application that rewards users for playing games as well as inviting your friends to join.
This app is operated by AppLike GmgH, a German-based company that also has other 2 identical apps called AppLike and AppStation.
Whenever you install and play a game, you will earn Coins that you can exchange for PayPal and gift cards from popular stores.
Other similar apps that I reviewed in this blog are AppBounty, App Flame, and MistPlay.
I consider Money RAWR a legit app, but there is something very important that you should know.
Most people don't read the terms and Conditions (ToS), and when they don't receive the payment, they think the app is a scam.
The problem with Money RAWR is that the company doesn't guarantee any payments!
In my opinion, everyone should have the right to get paid. However, if the company doesn't want to give any guarantees, they should tell people straight away instead of just leaving the information in the ToS.
It's an easy and fun way to make money.
Earn 5555 Coins as a signup bonus.
The minimum payout requirement is low.
There is a generous referral program.
There are not many games available depending on your country.
The more you play a particular game, the fewer credits you will get from it.
There are no guarantees of earnings.
You can download Money RAWR for free on the Google Play Store.
After the installation, you have to sign up with either your Facebook or Google account.
You must also grant Money RAWR access to your usage data so they can detect your playtime.
They will give you 5555 Coins as a signup bonus, which is approximately £0.40 in the United Kingdom.
If you want to know much money 1 Coin is worth in your country, visit the payout tab and check the coins vs reward rate. Then, divide the cash value by the number of coins required.
The featured tab has a list of games with the number of coins you will earn per minute.
There are not many games available, but new ones are added every day based on your preferences.
All you have to do is click on "Play & Collect", install the app and start playing.
If you live in the UK, you will start earning around 60-250 coins per minute, which is £0.004 – £0.018 per minute.
Note that the longer you play a specific game, the fewer coins you will earn per minute.
At some point, you will have to play for hours to earn the same amount of coins, meaning the maximum reward for that particular game was reached.
The only solution is to install and play another game.
You can earn more coins when you invite your friends to join Money RAWR.
Whenever a friend joins through your link, you will receive 250 coins plus 25% of all their earnings.
The cool thing about this referral program is that your friend will also earn 25% of what you earn for life. So, both of you win!
Exchange your coins for PayPal cash or your favourite gift card. In the UK, there are many payout options such as Amazon, Steam, iTunes, PizzaExpress, Starbucks and TK Maxx and |Zalando.
The minimum payout is only £0.50 (6399 coins), which you can reach easily, in the beginning, thanks to the initial 5555 coin bonus.
I didn't find too many complaints about Money RAWR on the internet. Most people like the app and claim to have received the payment without any issues.
My advice here is to cash out as soon as you reach the minimum threshold.
Money RAWR is not a scam, but the payout is too low and there is no guarantee you will get paid.
So, unless you already play games for fun, I don't think it's worth playing for hours just to earn less than $1.
If you just want to earn money with easy tasks, you should check out my top rated GPT site called Prizerebel.
Prizerebel's earning potential is higher than Money RAWR's, but still, it doesn't even compare to the strategy I use to make money online. Keep reading to find out!
In 2015, I discovered affiliate marketing and the possibility of earning a job-replacing income from home.
Thanks to this excellent step by step program, I learned the ropes and created a website without any technical skills.
Not only that, I learned how to build trust and attract a large audience that allows me to generate $1,000 per month in affiliate commissions.

The median absolute deviation(MAD) is a robust measure of how spread out a set of data is. The variance and standard deviation are also measures of spread, but they are more affected by extremely high or extremely low values and non normality. If your data is normal, the standard deviation is usually the best choice for assessing spread. However, if your data isn't normal, the MAD is one statistic you can use instead.
The Interquartile Range is similar to the MAD, and is a simpler statistic. However, it's less robust.
The formula is a variation of the mean absolute deviation formula (see the mean absolute deviation article for more help in solving the formula). It is less affected by outliers because outliers have a smaller effect on the median than they do on the mean.
The term median absolute deviation refers to a statistic calculated from a sample. However, it can be used to estimate the population parameter.
Example: Find the MAD of the following set of numbers: 3, 8, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 9, 9.
Step 1: Find the median. The median for this set of numbers is 8.
Step 2: Subtract the median from each x-value using the formula |yi – median|.
Step 3: find the median of the absolute differences. The median of the differences (0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,5) is 1.
The following image (from NIST.gov) shows histograms for 10,000 random numbers drawn from four different distributions: a normal distribution, double exponential distribution, Cauchy distribution and Tukey-Lambda distribution.
Normal: the MAD is slightly less than the standard deviation(SD) as it downw-eights the tails. This is one reason not to use the MAD for normal distributions.
Double exponential: The SD is usually too large while the MAD is about the same as it would be for the normal.
Cauchy: the SD is very large, while the MAD is on;y just a little larger than normal.
Tukey-Lambda Distribution: this distribution has truncated (cut off) tails; the SD and MAD are about the same.
Robustness of Validity: confidence intervals for the measure of variation (spread) are 95% for any distribution.
Robustness of Efficiency: confidence intervals hold true for non normal tails.
While the MAD does have robustness of validity, it is affected by non normal tails, and so doesn't have robustness of efficiency.

Q: Equivalent of the "Unique" row in Describe() for int/float variables? When I have a dataframe with strings and do a describe(), I get a very nice dataframe that looks like the below, whereupon you can see the number of unique values in each column and sort upon it:

However, when I have a dataframe with integers or floats, and do a describe(), I get a dataframe with the traditional statistics like the one below. There is no unique column. Is there a way to retrieve the unique column?

A: Use numbers_df.nunique() as  previously suggested. This will give you a Series with the number of unique values for each column.
If you still want to use the describe() function, you could convert your DataFrame to object, which will be treated differently than a numbers only DataFrame:
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({'a': range(10), 'b': [2]*10, 'c': np.random.randint(10)})
df.astype('object').describe()

which will give you:
         a   b   c
count   10  10  10
unique  10   1   7
top      0   2   3
freq     1  10   2

A:
Is there a way to retrieve the unique column?

Yes.
Use nunique.
>>> import pandas as pd
>>> df = pd.DataFrame({"x": [5, 6, 6, 7]})
>>> df.x.nunique()

Beginning August 1st, the small classroom in the Psychology building was transformed into a studio for aspiring Reed student and alumni game developers. The conversion of the tiny classroom into a software and tabletop game studio is without a doubt more mental than physical— the room remains largely empty, added décor consisting only of a mini-fridge topped with a bag of pretzels, a couple of pizza boxes, an empty coffee cup, and a "to do" list scrawled on the white board.
"Maybe I should have tried to decorate. Put up some posters or something." Mark Chen '95, who instigated this summer's GameJam (which is sponsored by The Center for Life Beyond Reed and alumni & parent relations at Reed with help from colleagues in computer user services and facilities), remarked sheepishly at one point.
But the lack of anything in the studio other than some snacks to refuel simply demonstrates the nature and focus of the GameJam. Fancy equipment or a specialized, personalized location is unnecessary. All that is needed for a successful GameJam is contained within the participants themselves.

Q: Dell U271 monitor DisplayPort suddenly not working My new(ish) Dell U271 took a bit of a knock and it now suddenly doesn't recognise the Macbook plugged into it via DisplayPort - this had been working great for several months up until now.
When I "Scan Sources", it doesn't find anything on DisplayPort.  However, one suspicious behaviour leads me to think all might not be lost.  When the Mac is woken from sleep, this used to kick the monitor in (as an monitor would) and while it no longer does that, the light on the monitor does go from standby orange to blue briefly, then the monitor says it's going into "power save" mode.  It seems like it gets some kinda signal.
Any ideas on how I can diagnose the problem?  I'm trying to find another mac but no one near me has one ...

A: Pretty simple/stupid answer in the end, thought I'd add for completeness.  I replaced the cable (not an "adapter", just a straight cable) and it suddenly started working.  Who'd have thought that a cable that never moves could suddenly stop working ...

Winning Awards Podcast
By Donna O'Toole
Putting your brand on a national platform with Sarah Austin, Awards Director at The Lloyds Bank National Business Awards
In this episode of the Winning Awards Podcast, Donna O'Toole chats with The Lloyds Bank National Business Awards, Awards Director Sarah Austin.
The Lloyds Bank National Business Awards is one of the UK's most prestigious awards programmes, recognising and rewarding excellence across all sectors. These awards are considered "the ones to win" – all UK companies are invited to enter, regardless of size or industry. The awards have a range of categories suited for any successful organisation to tell their story.
Sarah shares;
her journey into events and awards, from doing work experience at the NBAs and getting her degree in Events Management
the challenges for the events industry and their suppliers in 2020
the opportunities available to NBA finalists and winners
her plans for the 2020 awards programme and beyond
[01:47] Sarah got her first taste of the thrill of the National Business Awards and live events from doing work experience at the NBAs and going on to get her degree. Since then the awards have changed and evolved over the years.
"…for 24 hours I went into this madness, table planning, helping people with all these queries and really just running around the Grosvenor House in high heels. And it was brilliant. And I loved it. And that's when I got the taste."
[06:27] The National Business Awards have always aimed to celebrate the very best in British business and support British SMEs, which they do through their media partners and events, including their summer party at The House of Commons.
"The aims of the awards have always been to celebrate the very best of great British business. And so you can always under that umbrella, you know, there's so much that you can work with, my particular themes that I like to bring out in it as you know, to celebrate innovation, ethics, teamwork, you know, very basic fundamentals and values that are important to a successful business."
[10:57] The global pandemic has caused challenges for us all, and Sarah is no exception. Both personally and professionally, Sarah discusses some of the heartbreaking challenges for the events industry and their suppliers. Plus how vital the #WeAreEvents movement has been to raise awareness.
"I think the awards industry in particular, like with events, people by our very nature, were quite adaptable. So I knew that ideas would come out and we'd be okay but the with the #weareevents movement that's happening recently and it's like the camaraderie between everybody is amazing. And we can see, you know, all the venues lighting up and ready to send their message that we are events. We're ready. We are adaptable. We can do it. And I think that's so powerful."
[18:24] Sarah and Donna reminisce about past NBA awards ceremonies and some of the amazing keynote speakers, Sarah also drops some hints on what to expect from the virtual 2020 awards ceremony.
"I think one of the things that 2020 is going to allow me to do is have more people involved than we normally would have. So I can't give any names away. If you go by alumni, you will see we have you know, Buzz Aldrin, Tim Peake, Mo Farah. And you know, and that's just the ones that come to my head. There's been some incredible people. that we've had over the years. And I think each year we've set the bar higher and higher."
[22:35] Awards naturally promote positivity, but a theme in this year's entries was the confidence and honesty to say 'this went wrong, but here's how we adapted and coped with it' and to see so many businesses going above and beyond to support their employees, customers and communities.[27:53] The National Business Awards give businesses the opportunity to say 'we are the best in the country' and Sarah's message to those businesses who are wondering if they're ready for national recognition is to seize the moment and put yourself forward.
"All of these businesses have something that is unique. And something that will be what perhaps to you is something quite normal. That actually if you put yourself in front of a panel of judges, that work that you do is sensational. You need to be recognised for that."

Winning Awards with Neil Skehel, CEO of Awards International
by @donna-admin | Sep 9, 2020 | Blog, Business Awards
Transparency and transformation in awards with Neil Skehel, CEO of Awards international & Founder of UK & International Customer Experience Awards, Employee Experience Awards, Digital Experience Awards, & more!
In this episode of the Winning Awards Podcast, Donna O'Toole catches up with Awards International CEO Neil Skehel.
Awards International launched in 2008 and they successfully organise 11 Awards Programmes in the UK, UAE, Netherlands and Germany, giving much-deserved recognition to outstanding business initiatives. They believe winning awards creates real possibilities for personal and professional growth.
Neil shares;
His journey into awards, from award-winning McDonald's Restaurant Manager to organising some of the most popular awards in the UK and Internationally,
The challenges of moving to digital award ceremonies in 2020,
His message to aspiring businesses.
[01:48] From Restaurant Supervisor to CEO of UK and International Awards Programmes, Neil shares his journey into the world of awards, how awards have played a huge part in his career and how he came to be CEO of Awards International.
"We're all in the business, in the awards business. Do you know that? And I was thinking, you know, when I got my first award, I think it was for swimming five metres when I was about five years old, generally and awards play such an important part in people's lives."
[06:58] Awards International awards portfolio has been successfully growing, reaching into new markets including The Netherlands and Germany. In 2020 the pandemic has put a halt to all live events, but Neil and his team have pivoted to overcome the challenge.
"I thought we were done for I thought, "What on earth is going to happen?" And I spoke to a few people who I do use as mentors to sort of cheer me up from time to time. They were like, No, no, no, no, you've got to do this. You've got to make this work"
[11:26] Neil and his team have successfully converted their 2020 awards programmes to be fully digital using their own software that ensures their scoring is as robust and secure as their in-person judging, and the event is still entertaining and enjoyable for entrants and guests.[14:40] Transparency is key when it comes to judging, and Neil has no problems being open and honest about the judging process Using their own unique software and large panels of independent judges, everyone has the same chance of winning no matter whether you are an SME or a global corporation.
"So for me, transparency has always been a really important part of what we do."
[20:14] As our world continues to change and adapt, there is a place for digital events but Neil assures us live physical events will come back once it's safe to do. But for now all eyes are on the UK Customer Experience Awards and how the event will be as incredible as it always is year-on-year.[29:41] With the pandemic affecting all businesses in unique ways, Awards International have included specific COVID-19 categories to reward those who have gone above and beyond to help their business, customers or employees.
"But you know, the world has changed. There is no going back. You know we know the conversation will all be about what we are doing. So you have to change, you have to change the categories."
[33:33] Neil's final thoughts and overriding message for all businesses is to just 'do it,' enter the awards, now is the perfect time to enter and will help with the recovery.
"The challenges that the coronavirus has brought us entering your team for an award can be just so powerful in terms of their own performance, in terms of reward, in terms of fun in terms of development, and all of those things are really important now as ever before."
Why Awards Should be Part of Your Marketing Strategy
by @donna-admin | Dec 6, 2019 | Blog, Uncategorised
From Start-ups and SMEs, to huge global organisations we all have and need a marketing strategy. And no matter your budget, awards should be included.
Awards can sometimes be overlooked when it comes to marketing. But an awards strategy can help to boost your business and brand awareness, all at a low cost with big impact.
A professional awards strategy will;
Help you choose the most valuable awards with the biggest return on investment
Help you decide the most relevant categories you are most likely to win
Help you manage and meet all your deadlines
Help you establish a workflow (for gathering vital evidence etc.)
Help you budget for the whole awards process (entry fees, ceremonies etc.)
So if you want to; enter awards you have the biggest chance of winning, raise your brand's profile, recognise your team's hard work, stop missing important industry awards, and put an end to submitting rushed last-minute losing entries…
You need an awards strategy! And if you're not sure how to create one, we can help.
Here's why awards should be part of your marketing strategy;
1) RECOGNITION
Whether you're a winner, runner-up or a finalist, the third-party recognition you receive is invaluable. It will reinforce your marketing messages and raise your profile, so when you say you're the best, you can prove that you really are!
Winning an award shows your existing customers you are trustworthy, reliable and a good business to spend their money with. And for new customers, being award-winning will give them a reason to choose you over their competitors.
Also, an award win, or finalist announcement will impress existing stakeholders and shareholders, and can be an effective tool to win over prospective investors.
2) ADDITIONAL PR COVERAGE
Becoming a finalist of awards with connections to local, national and industry press means you can benefit from FREE PR, saving you ££££s!
Awards such as The National Business Awards in 2019 partnered with The i, The Scotsman and The Yorkshire Post. Similarly, The Amazon Scale-Up Awards are organised by Business Leader Magazine. Both awards publish finalists and winners in articles that reach a huge readership.
Industry trade magazines often run their own awards programme and will publish you as a result of your participation – getting you valuable industry coverage.
3) LOW-COST LOW-RISK MARKETING
Marketing campaigns usually require a big budget. But entering awards is a relatively low-cost exercise that has a fast impact on your results.
Depending on the awards programme, entry fees can range from being free to a couple hundred pounds. By creating an awards strategy you can make decisions on which awards to enter based on your budget.
If you win, you have spent a small amount and achieved a huge result. If you are a finalist you have still gained valuable exposure. And if you don't win this time, you will learn from the experience, and it won't affect your bottom line.
4) BRAND AWARENESS
Awards can present some fantastic opportunities for networking, partnerships and sponsorships. All of which will increase your brand's exposure and awareness in your chosen industries – which is a great way to find new customers and partners.
Award ceremonies are huge events attended by CEOs, business leaders and decision-makers.
If you want to grow in an industry you supply, getting yourself invited to an awards ceremony where your ideal customer will be is the perfect opportunity for exposure. You can network and create relationships with the brands you are interested in, either as clients or as collaborators.
Sponsoring and partnering with an awards programme will require a bigger budget, but if you choose the right event for you it can have a huge ROI. Again, having an awards strategy can help you decide the best opportunities for your business.
5) PROJECT MANAGEMENT
When you make awards part of your marketing strategy, an awards strategy will help you manage your time and the entry process.
We get so many enquiries from companies wanting to enter an important industry award where the deadline is as little as a week away! Usually because they have received a final deadline reminder and it was not part of their marketing strategy.
Depending on the length of the entry, the project you are entering and how many people are involved, you will need to plan in how much time is needed to gather the evidence, create the story and complete the entry.
With an awards strategy in place you can plan time for each step of the entry process; writing a first draft, editing, second draft, final edits, signoff and submission.
Planning time for all these steps will radically reduce stress and improve the quality of your entries, giving you a much higher chance of success.

We were honoured to be invited to the Natwest Entrepreneur Accelerator Brighton Hub to talk about the importance of awards for personal branding and thought leadership.
Hosted by Natwest Entrepreneur Development Manager Kristina Pereckaite, the #PowerUp your Personal Brand event was a wonderful opportunity to talk to aspiring entrepreneurs and business leaders, giving them actionable takeaways to improve their personal brands.
WINNING AWARDS TO BUILD YOUR PERSONAL BRAND
August CEO Donna O'Toole took to the stage to inspire the room to take their personal branding seriously and enhance their reputation!
Donna shared her entrepreneurial story and demonstrated how you can use your unique story and business results to win awards and raise your profile, no matter the size of your business.
Gaining external credibility and recognition from awards verifies your achievements and gives you third-party credibility, which instils trust in your expertise and ultimately business. Winning awards gives you valuable PR opportunities, fantastic networking events, and provides a step-up to the next level in your entrepreneurial journey.
PERSONAL BRANDING 101
The panel consisted of five personal branding gurus. All focusing on their own area of expertise;
Donna O'Toole our very own awards expert, talked the audience through getting into the right awards competitions and how to write your entry for the best chance of winning.
Kerry Watkins founder of Social Brighton ran-through some thought-provoking activities about the impact of personal LinkedIn profiles on your personal brand.
Jude Bolton, founder of Speaking Works demonstrated the importance of voice, breathing and balance when public speaking or presenting in business pitches.
Louise Stevenson, CEO of Speakeasy Coaching demonstrated how to exude confidence when speaking, and how to inject humour for audience engagement.
Personal Branding Coach Vicky Booker explained how physical appearance (clothes, make-up, grooming etc.) impacts on how you are perceived, and what message your image gives to prospective customers and partners.
It was great to hear from each one of the fantastic speakers. Everyone in the room was excited to take their hints and tips and start improving their personal brands and we are looking forward to seeing the accelerator entrepreneurs start winning awards for their achievements soon!
International Customer Experience Awards Winners 2019
by @donna-admin | Nov 28, 2019 | Blog, Business Awards, Uncategorised
We were thrilled to attend and judge at the 2019 International Customer Experience Awards Finals held in Amsterdam.
Inspiring international organisations are recognised for their exceptional customer experience. SMEs, large global businesses and professionals from all industries compete to win.
If you've innovated, transformed or are leading your industry in CX these are one of the awards you need to win!
PRESENTATIONS TO THE JUDGES
The awards follow the same format as the UK Customer Experience Awards.
Finalists present to the judges during the daytime event before finding out the winners in the evening. So no need to wait months to find out if you've won.
Presentations are 15 minutes long with an additional 15 minute Q&A with the judges. The judges' questions help to bag some last-minute points you may have missed in your presentation and could be the difference between Gold and Silver!
Our CEO, Donna O'Toole was part of the judging panel for Most Effective Customer Experience in Social Media category this year. She said,
"It was great to be a part of the international customer experience awards and to see some of the incredible customer experience transformations being made across the world! It's great to meet the teams behind them and hear exactly how they have made a mark on their businesses and customers."
"Judging the entries is always an interesting activity, and seeing the hard work of the entrants come to life in a face-to-face presentation is a real privilege. It's an incredibly revealing process; there is nowhere to hide when it comes to the judge's questions, but the best teams always shine bright in the end."
Attendees were invited to watch the finalists present to the judges. A fantastic opportunity to gain insights into the current customer experience trends (and check out the competition).
Throughout the day the venue is a hub for networking, sharing a coffee and lunch with colleagues, and connecting with sponsors.
Winners included Telkom Indonesia, The Holly Private Hospital, Dell, HP, KCB Group and many more very happy teams!
Silver awards were given to the very close runners up who included Shell, Caterpillar, TUI Benelux and Dubai Electricity and Water Authority.
And there are even bronze awards for the very best of the rest, including tado, E.ON and Sberbank.
We would like to say a huge congratulations to all the winners at this years' International Customer Experience Awards, and to all the finalists. And a huge thank you to Awards International for organising such a successful event.
WINNING OPPORTUNITIES
The awards don't stop there.
Two weeks after the event, all finalists receive a feedback report from the judges, providing invaluable insights and comments on where they excelled, how they compared to the winner, and where to improve for next year.
The International Customer Experience Awards will open again in 2020. But before they do, winners need to be shouting about their win. And finalists, we'd love to hear from you!
We can help you to understand where you dropped points and what your next steps should be. Contact us today to book in your free consultation call.
And we look forward to the 2020 awards which promise to be bigger and better!

Wonderful walkout rambler on 14th fairway in Eagle Valley Golf Course. Extremely well maintained home on half acre lot in cul-de-sac! Bright and airy floor plans with lots of windows, vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, gas fireplace and large master suite. Walk out lower level features second fireplace and wet bar complete with full size fridge and dishwasher! Maintenance free decking opens to pond and golf course views.
I am interested in 2678 White Eagle Cir, Woodbury, MN 55129 (Listing ID # 5195878).


It is a sure thing Churchill knew what he was talking about [Maurer column, Nov. 24]. Today, however, it will be business as usual thanks to polarization, apathy, selective deaf ears and blind eyes.
Sadly, I doubt things will turn around any more than banks can eliminate bad loans, politicians will tell the truth or another 100 years will make a difference.
On a brighter note, it is great to know that individuals such as Maurer turn the light on bright enough for us to see forward. Thanks for trying!

PENN TOWNSHIP, LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. -- An energy company's abrupt closure shocks a Lancaster County community and leaves more than a hundred people without a job.
A former employee confirming 72-year company Worley & Obetz shut down around 3 p.m. Monday afternoon, including Amerigreen Energy Incorporated and Molly's Convenience Store.
FOX43 could see employees leaving the office in Penn Township with items and boxes in hand. One man said, "I used to have a job."
A source said the company's remaining employees all lost their jobs.
Over the last month, Worley & Obetz had released more than 100 employees during two rounds of layoffs.
The closure comes after the company's CEO Jeffrey Lyons was reported missing on May 15th and then located in Minnesota two days later.
Soon after, the company announced it was being investigated by the FBI for potential fraudulent activity and that it had to adjust its operating expenses to keep the company viable. In a previous statement to FOX43, officials said Seth Obetz liquidated his life savings to keep the company going once it caught wind of the fraud investigation.
FOX43 called every number listed for the energy company; each had the same message - the office is closed as of Monday, June 4th, and no calls will be returned.
FOX43 also reached out on Facebook and through email but has not heard back from an official with the company.
A spokeswoman with Shipley Energy told FOX43 earlier this evening Shipley would be handling Worley & Obetz commercial accounts for now.
Shipley Energy posted about the reported closure on its Facebook page, saying if you or someone you know has lost their job, Shipley Energy has open positions - the company has openings for jobs such as customer service representatives and commercial drivers.

Jim Betts congratulates Joseph Stanley
The Lions Club of Guyra hosted the Youth of the Year Quest club level at their meeting of 17th February 2021 at the Guyra Bowling and Recreation Club. Two contestants entered late last year, however due to COVID restrictions the event was delayed. The delay meant that it clashed with one of our contestants other commitments and consequently only one could compete.
The lone competitor, Joseph Stanley, was still judged as per the criteria set out by the Lions clubs of Australia with three judges sitting to interview Joseph on a range of topics. He also participated in the public speaking session where he had to speak on two impromptu questions that the judges had worked out between themselves, and he also spoke on a topic of his choice for five minutes.
Judges for the evening were Mr. Alan St Clair, Mrs. Rita Williams and Miss Leanne Sweeney representing the National Australia Bank.
Joseph will now represent our club at the Regional final in Glen Innes on 13th March 2021. We wish Joseph all the best on the night.
Jim Betts
YOTY Chairman.

U.S. Air Force deploys MQ-9 Reaper UAVs in Estonia for first time
Read: 1126 13:59 09 July 2020
For the first time in history, MQ-9 Reapers from U.S. Detachment 2 at Miroslawiec Air Base in Poland deployed to Amari Air Base, Estonia, on June 14.
The purpose of the deployment is to provide intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions within the European theater and is made possible through the utilization of Amari AB. "We are specifically focusing on air, maritime, and land domain," said Brig. Gen. Jason Hinds, Deputy Director of Operations, Strategic Deterrence and Nuclear Integration and the U.S. Air Forces in Europe and U.S. Air Forces Africa Air Operations Center Director. "We are gathering requirements from the U.S. European Command and our NATO allies, and then we are going to execute those taskings in coordination with the Estonian Air Force."
One of the aircraft was transported via cargo truck from Miroslawiec AB, where it was then offloaded and assembled in a hangar at Amari with the help of the Estonian Air Force. Members of Detachment 2 in Poland are on temporary duty assignments to Estonia to facilitate the movement of the Reapers and have also built partnerships with the Estonian nationals. "We've seen a drastic increase in partnership by working every day alongside the Estonian air force whether it's via communications, medical cooperation, operations, or launch, recovery and logistics support," said Master Sgt. Robert DeGrasse, 52nd Expeditionary Operations Group, Detachment 2 superintendent. "Thanks to our partnership we've developed, the 52nd EOG was able to land the first-ever MQ-9 aircraft in Estonia." Throughout the length of the deployment, the aircraft will be performing ISR missions in support of NATO until they return to Poland.
The Estonian Air Force has made the operation at Amari possible through offering their assets to complete the mission. "We are the first American contingent to operate out of their hangar and operations building," said Lt. Col. Clayton Sanders, 52 Operations Group Detachment 2 commander. "The Estonians have done everything they can to help us work out the kinks to operate out of both buildings, and that is where we have seen the increase in partnership."

Colombia - Factionalism
Factionalism
The far from monolithic Liberal and Conservative parties were divided internally on the basis of personal and regional rivalries as well as issues. By limiting interparty competition for patronage, the National Front arrangement gave momentum to the already strong tendency toward intraparty factionalism. Factions usually were highly structured and headed by a former president or potential presidential candidate. At the departmental level, dissident factions as well as party directorates often put up their own slates of candidates for legislative elections.
Colombia's traditional party factions posed a reformist, as opposed to a revolutionary, challenge to the social and political order. Colombianists have noted that factionalism actually helped to perpetuate the two-party system by serving as a de facto substitute for a more fragmented multiparty system. The factions did not evolve into new parties because the loyalties of dissidents remained ultimately with their original party. Nevertheless, factionalism in the ruling party tended to diminish the president's ability to command party loyalty while in office. Competition among factions was most pronounced at election time, when a split in the party in power traditionally provided the opportunity for the other party to win.
In the 1980s, factional rivalry continued to weaken the Conservatives. Two main factions have been active since the 1940s. One--the pastranistas-ospinistas--was named after Pastrana and the late Mariano Ospina Pérez (president 1946-50). Its members also were known as unionistas (unionists). The other faction--the alvaristas--was named after Alvaro Gómez Hurtado, son of the late Laureano Gómez Castro (president 1950-53), a Conservative hard-liner who was widely blamed for the sectarianism that led to the bloodshed of la violencia. The pastranistas-ospinistas were allied to industrialists in Antioquia Department and to the coffee sector, whereas the alvaristas were closer to farmers in the Caribbean coast departments.
In the 1980s, the Liberals also were divided into two main factions: the New Liberalism Movement (Movimiento Nuevo Liberalismo--MNL), established in 1979, and the majority official wing (oficialistas). Each ran its own candidates in the 1982 and 1986 presidential elections, as well as separate legislative slates in the 1982 and 1984 congressional elections. The MNL, which won only 8 percent in the 1986 congressional and local government elections, was more technocratically oriented and concerned with promoting the role of the state in economic development and social reform. Its base of support was mainly among the urban middle class, especially in Bogotá. The broadly based official wing relied more on traditional patron-client ties and partisan appeals to mobilize support. In May 1988, the MNL's head, Luis Carlos Galán Sarmiento, signed an agreement with the PL to carry out joint activities to support fully President Barco's government. Under the agreement, the MNL would continue to be a PL faction, but it would cancel its legal registration with the electoral authorities on August 6, 1988, and attend the PL's national convention in Cartagena.
