The following is the text of my letter to the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government in support High Peak Borough Council's application to the Future High Streets Fund for support for Buxton Town Centre.
I write in support of the application from High Peak Borough Council to the Future High Streets Fund for support for Buxton Town Centre.
Buxton is the retail hub for the surrounding smaller towns and villages of the Peak District and is very important, not only to the resident population, but to those living within a radius of around 12 miles.
The retail offer includes several multiples, although these are reducing. The loss of the Marks & Spencer store at the end of April will be a big blow to the town, and comes on top of closures of national brands H Samuel, Santander and the Royal Bank of Scotland.
There is a current vacancy rate of 11% but this will increase if these vacancies on the pedestrianised Spring Gardens are not filled.
There is a wide range of independent retailers. 70 are listed on the Vision Buxton website, but there are many more. Buxton's independent retailers are very keen to support the application and to assist in practical ways.
I held a meeting for Buxton retailers earlier in March and was very pleased that over 60 attended and were extremely constructive. During the meeting they agreed to support a new communication system to alert each other to criminal activity in the town centre, but also to promote events and activity around the town.
However, the independent retailers are spread over a wide area, including a steep hill up to the Market Place on Higher Buxton which makes it difficult to get around and many people are not aware of Buxton's varied retail offer. Several of the independent stores are contained within covered market areas of the Cavendish Arcade and The Arches which are at either end of the main pedestrianised shopping area, but with a main road to cross to each of them.
Buxton has seen a lot of recent investment in the splendid Crescent, which is due to open later this year, in the refurbished museum, in Buxton Opera House and the university. However the Town Centre itself has seen very little investment.
Buxton's visitor numbers have increased by 5% to over 4.5 million since 2016 and Buxton is being marketed to high value international visitors in preparation for the opening of the Crescent.
The town enjoys good rail links – now improved with a half-hourly service to Manchester, and regular bus services from both the north and south of the town.
It is especially important to older people, who may find it difficult to travel to larger towns or cities further afield and often do not use the internet. They need to be able to purchase what they need in Buxton, and to get around the town easily.
The Town Centre needs investment so that it both delivers a good service to local residents, and adds to the town's attraction to visitors.
I therefore offer my full support to the application and hope that you will look upon it favourably.


In this clip Jez talks to Torfason about his experience of Queer culture in Iceland, growing up during the 60's as a gay man, and how his sexuality resulted in him being excluded.
In this clip Jez and Torfason talk about his experience while studying to become an actor, working in the National Theatre in Iceland, and also how sexuality was portrayed according to stereotypes.
Torfason talks about the particular culture surrounding being gay during his early years in Reykjavik, and the places where they could meet.
Jez and Torfason discuss the decriminalisation of homosexuality in Iceland, why there is a lack of archival material that deals with Queer life, and how Torfason felt that at a particular point in time there were limitations on him expressing his sexuality.
In 1977 Torfason was forced to flee Iceland in fear of his own life. He discusses the trials and tribulations of being openly gay, and trying to gather others to come together to activate change in Iceland during 1978.
Torfason regards his activism and fight for change as a human-right, to have one law for all. In this clip he talks about how he travelled Iceland every year putting on concerts and playing his music in order to challenge people's ideas of gay people.
Torfason recalls how advances in the internet gave greater scope for gay individuals to express themselves, and how this helped to shape a new positive language for the Queer community in Iceland to communicate with.
Jez and Torfason talk about various expressions that have been used by the Queer community in Iceland to identify their sexuality.
During Torfason's time in Denmark he was able express his sexuality freely, and educate himself further through exploring the works of Oscar Wilde. In this clip he talks about how different life was in contrast to Iceland.
After what is regarded as the 'interview of the century' in 1975 Torfason realised he had to work hard at getting gay individuals together to break the silence of Queer life in Iceland. He discusses the course of action he took to organise Samtökin '78.
Torfason talks about the time after he became politically active and how there was no response, but that in the early 80s with certain support and political influence there was a significant impact on his career as an artist.
In 2008 Torfason led the 'Pots and Pans' revolution during the Icelandic financial crisis, and mentions that it was successful partly due to his experience and being a public figure. He feels that the community's trust in him allowed them to open up about their feelings.

21st Century New Deal for Jobs
Debates over America's infrastructure often focus on productivity, growth, and costs, but can sometimes overlook the human dimension of the crisis. Lead-contaminated drinking water in Michigan; dilapidated public schools in Oklahoma; collapsing bridges in Minnesota; flooded cities in Texas; and inadequate and unaffordable housing in every community —each aspect of America's crumbling infrastructure harms real people and stifles human potential in the world's wealthiest country.
Countless personal stories behind America's deficient infrastructure contribute to a staggering economic and social toll. The scope of the problem ranges from the simple annoyance of bumper-to-bumper traffic, which amounts to billions of lost hours every year, to the tragic effect of air pollution, which causes hundreds of thousands of premature deaths annually and devastates the health of low-income neighborhoods and communities of color.
Government spending on infrastructure as a share of the economy has fallen to a two-decade low, yet for every $1 invested in public-sector infrastructure, our economy would gain $1.70 back through greater employment and efficiency.A vision for infrastructure that invests our resources in people—a plan that produces millions of family-sustaining jobs, raises living standards, reduces inequality, strengthens education, reduces poverty, and cleans our environment—is more urgent than ever. But President Trump and the Republicans are intent on pursuing the exact opposite approach.
The Republican agenda is a sham, hardly investing any new resources into infrastructure while aiming to slash existing federal programs. In reality, President Trump and Congressional Republicans are pushing a trillion-dollar corporate giveaway that would create tax incentives for Wall Street to privatize our roads, bridges, sanitation systems, and utilities, while raising tolls, fees, and bills—all through taxpayer subsidies. Even worse, their approach will leave the infrastructure that we depend on in utter disrepair unless it generates a profit for private investors.[1]
The Congressional Progressive Caucus presents a real alternative, crafted in partnership with the grassroots: a 21st Century New Deal for Jobs, which aims to do no less than transform the foundations of America's economy.
Drawing on the legacy of President Franklin Roosevelt's bold vision and adapting it to a modern context, our 21st Century New Deal for Jobs makes Wall Street, big corporations, and the wealthiest pay their fair share in order to put America back to work. It invests $2 trillion over 10 years, employing 2.5 million Americans in its first year, to rebuild our transportation, water, energy, and information systems, while massively overhauling our country's unsafe and inefficient schools, homes, and public buildings. Yet the New Deal for Jobs'detailed plan to nurture a vibrant, 21st century economy goes much further than rapidly achieving full employment and sustaining it over a decade. It recognizes that plentiful, dignified jobs are not enough. They must be paired with an agenda that empowers women and communities of color while protecting the planet.
Unlike the Republican agenda, a 21st Century New Deal for Jobs puts real money in the pockets of ordinary workers and families. A New Deal for Jobs mandates local hiring in addition to raising the benchmark for locally prevailing wages in each area, increasing infrastructure workers' paychecks. The proposal further cements its commitment to working people by prioritizing the hiring of our veterans and demanding robust Buy America provisions in every federal procurement decision for labor and materials.
The 21st Century New Deal for Jobs combines strong job and wage growth with the fundamental principles of social and racial justice, targeting employment for those who have been systematically shut out of economic growth. This means that job training and local hiring will reflect the racial and gender diversity of the community's workforce and those seeking employment. Federal procurement will prioritize minority- and women-owned businesses, cooperatives and employee-owned firms, and community-owned and municipal enterprises. Recognizing the job-creating power of small businesses, we also aim to increase funds awarded through programs such as Historically Underutilized Business Zones.
Furthermore, the 21st Century New Deal for Jobs gives precedence to the infrastructure needs of people who are struggling the most. Lower-income people and communities of color coping with elevated unemployment—both rural and urban alike—will play a leading role in determining their own infrastructure gaps and solutions. It also calls for local and regional planning that considers equity of access to transportation across communities. The New Deal for Jobs marks a clear contrast with the infrastructure priorities of Republicans, who promote prisons and militarized border fences. Rather, a New Deal for Jobs improves Americans' quality of life by removing toxins like lead and asbestos; revitalizing parks and schools; expanding the supply of safe, decent and affordable housing; ambitiously connecting our entire country through affordable high-speed internet and high-speed rail; cleaning our air and water; and shortening our travels in public transit, cars, and planes.
Finally, theNew Deal for Jobs invests the necessary resources into averting catastrophic climate change while generating millions of new jobs and positioning the United States as a global leader in the fast-growing industries and technologies of the future. New smart-grid strategies will revolutionize our outdated electricity transmission system and democratize energy production, promoting clean, carbon-free alternatives. Large-scale public financing for energy-efficiency retrofits in America's buildings will drastically minimize waste while saving families money. Crucially, a New Deal for Jobs prioritizes federally funded employment opportunities within this burgeoning new sector for workers and communities who currently depend on fossil-fuel production.
A program as sweeping and ambitious as the 21st Century New Deal for Jobs must be guided by an ethos of building smart. Our plan integrates high-quality planning, cost controls, and maintenance into all initiatives while allocating additional human and technical resources to manage community and environmental approval processes. A New Deal for Jobs build-smart philosophy also mandates state-of-the-art security measures to protect America's electrical grid, dams, broadband networks, and other vital infrastructure from cyber- and physical attacks.
Americans across the political spectrum are realizing that our country's infrastructure is in desperate need of overhaul. But the contrast between the Republican vision and our 21st Century New Deal for Jobs could not be starker in either size or scope. The Congressional Progressive Caucus forcefully rejects an infrastructure agenda that wastes tens of billions of dollars on useless projects such as a thousands-of-miles-long border wall that threatens human and environmental safety.
The 21st Century New Deal for Jobs lays out, in careful detail, a humane framework for revitalizing our infrastructure in service to the health of our people and planet. Our plan offers a path toward a fairer economy in which we can all thrive. It is proof that our country's complex infrastructure challenges can be guided by a simple principle: public money should go toward the public good.

Top 5 Things To Do In & Around Puerto Natales
Famous for being the jumping off point to Torres del Paine, Puerto Natales is fast turning into a worthy tourist destination of its own. With a growing local food scene and adventure opportunities sprouting all around the district, travelers can have a hard time knowing where to start. Hiking? Horseback riding? Glacier-spotting? There's a bit of everything waiting for you. To get you started, here are five of our favorite things to do in and around Puerto Natales.
1. Step Back in Time at the Milodon Cave
For paleontology fans and newbies alike, visiting the Milodon Cave (Cueva del Milodón) gives great insight into Patagonia's history, introducing you to the area's landscapes, rock formations, and creatures - many of them megafauna - that once called Patagonia home. The most famous of them is the Milodon, a sort of giant bear which inhabited the end of the world 10,000 years ago. Its remains were discovered in what is now called "The Milodon Cave", the biggest of the four caves in the Milodon Cave Natural Monument (measuring a not-too-tiny-at-all 200 meters deep, 80 wide and 30 high). While exploring the region, it's easy to imagine the other mega-beasts that roamed these parts, such as saber-tooth tigers and relatives of today's panthers, jaguars, and horses as well as Patagonia's first human inhabitants. The cave is located about 30-minute drive from Puerto Natales (23km). How can you get there speedily and easily? If your flight to Punta Arenas lands before 11.30am, the trip may be included on your way to EcoCamp!
2. Unleash your Inner Gaucho at Laguna Sofia
Feel like stepping out of the chaos of everyday life without going somewhere as remote as Torres del Paine National Park? Then Laguna Sofia is the place for you! The lagoon is located 30km northeast of Puerto Natales and offers heart-singing landscapes over the surrounding mountains – such as "Tenerife" which looks like a volcano. A day out at Laguna Sofia comes so recommended that even the locals head there on days! Besides the lagoon itself, head off to see caves, waterfalls, walk peacefully through silent woods, or go horseback riding. Communing with nature from atop a horse is the best way to explore the place while releasing your inner gaucho. With Pingo Salvaje, you can enjoy a half day (three hour) or full day (six hour) ride visiting archeological sites and spotting local fauna & flora. But you won't be alone with your faithful steed: Your talented guide will be there the whole time, making sure your experience is a top one (even if you can hardly tell a horse's front from its back!). Hungry? Your lunch is provided, meaning all you have to do is sit back and enjoy a finger-licking Chilean barbecue to the background music of a nearby waterfall! Tired after all that riding? You don't have to go back to Puerto Natales right away. Instead, take a break in campsite, refuge, or spacious rustic lodge - they're all available for you.
3. Please your senses with a Kayak and Horseback Riding Excursion
Only 20km north of Puerto Natales lies Estancia Puerto Consuelo, the area's first cattle ranch, where your multi-sport adventure sets sail. The day begins with kayaking through Fjord Eberhard, where you'll be lulled by the ebb and flow of the waters while keeping an eye out for southern Chile's diverse flora and fauna. All that kayaking works up a healthy appetite - one you'll more than satisfy with a tasty lunch of local organic produce. Eat your fill and finish your meal with a sweet treat before heading over to see something even sweeter: the Chilean criollo horses that will be your partners for the rest of the day! Beginner and experienced riders are catered for on this excursion through Patagonian pampa, lenga woods and mountain passes. On clear days, you'll even be able to see the Torres del Paine massif; a sight that's sure to stir your heart and inspire you to continue on to the National Park itself!
4. Hike Cerro Dorotea
Who would believe there'd be such a beautiful hike just a 10-minute drive from Puerto Natales? Warm up your legs for your Torres del Paine hike on Cerro Dorotea, a small mountain overlooking Puerto Natales. Here you'll find the best lookout of the city, and be made to feel small by the immensity of the fjords and surrounding peaks. A top idea is to start the hike from a local estancia, and take a moment to get insight into the life of a Patagonian baqueano (farmer). No need to come packed down with technical climbing equipment. With a 700m ascent and 4-5 hour duration, hiking Cerro Dorotea is relatively easy: let your feet do the guiding as you pass diverse landscapes, from lush green old lenga forest to vast pampa. Once you arrive at the lookout, reward yourself with an energizing lunch and take time to relax, and breathe in the view. But keep your eyes peeled: If luck is on your side, you may be paid a visit from the famous condor!
5. Take a Boat Ride to a Glacier
Love water? A fan of glaciers? Then hop aboard a comfy boat and head down the Serrano River! Your eight hour excursion begins around 8 o'clock, when you leave Puerto Natales bound for glaciers and other Patagonian sights. After about an hour, you'll reach the feet of the Balmaceda mountain, where you'll prepare to get up close and personal with glaciers aboard a zodiac. After your icy encounter, return to your boat and continue traveling down the Serrano river, one of the rivers that flows from Torres del Paine National Park to feed the fjords. You'll pass remote ice giants and reach the national park with an eye-popping view of the mountain range. As you reach the Serrano sector, you can choose to go back to Puerto Natales (a two hour drive) or continue on to explore the national park.

"Evil needs a doorway into our world": An interview with The Demonologist's Andrew Pyper
March 2, 2013 March 6, 2013 Dee @ EditorialEyes
Andrew Pyper. Photo by Don Denton, LiteraryPhotographer.com
In Andrew Pyper's The Demonologist, (available March 5th) Professor David Ullman discovers that demons exist—and that they are the reason his beloved young daughter has been taken from him. I recently talked with Andrew about the bread crumbs his protagonist must chase, and the world of emotional horror that opens before him. . .
What brought about the genre shift to horror?
In hindsight—because all of this is hindsight when I talk about the "category" of the book, it's all post-facto analysis—I was just following my nose in a narrative way and going where the story took me. But I think, why did it take me there? Because I've always been interested in the supernatural. It appears glimpsingly through almost all the previous novels, but in a kind of partial way. And this story demanded, because it entertains the possibility of demons existing alongside us in the real world, the creation of an entire world. Whereas the previous novels required people putting up a forbidden window, this is like, no, no, you have to build an entire premise whereby all human action will be infused with the supernatural companionship with demons. So once I recognized that, it felt quite liberating. I didn't feel like there was a constraint of rules—although you can't go that far, because that would make it a different kind of book. There was no sense of rules that might be broken.
It's interesting to me, the idea of demons living alongside us. You play with this Miltonic idea of Hell not being a physical place, but living in us and alongside us. Unlike, say, in a movie like Constantine, where Keanu is transported to Hell, in The Demonologist we have these hellish things happening in our minds and all around us. Is that a conscious choice to stick with this Miltonic idea? What brought about this vision of Hell for you?
It is in part born because Milton is obviously an influence on the novel, a text that I used both thematically and to a degree mechanically, but I think that commitment, that is, the commitment to realism, having the story take place in the real world with these impossible supernatural beings moving through it, that was just an aesthetic choice of my own. I love horror and I love fantasy, but when it comes to those kind of stories, I'm definitely on the muted, restrained "keep it real" end of the spectrum. I know some people are like, "No, if you're going to talk about Pandemonium, why don't you take us inside Pandemonium? Let's see the floor plan." Mine's a more internal, psychological Pandemonium. That's just what I prefer. I personally like those kind of stories, like Rosemary's Baby, where this is a story about the Satanic but it actually takes place in present-day New York.

Q: Data disappearing from SQL Server Database I have an issue where I have a web app using Entity Framework connected to a SQL Server database. At random intervals, the data in one of my tables keeps getting cleared down. About 90% of the data is deleted.
We have scoured through the web app and cannot find any delete statements at all let alone one on that table.
We have had SQL Server Profiler running but this has not picked up any delete statements. However, I also have an ON DELETE trigger on this table to copy deleted data to a back up table and this runs and triggers fine so there seems to be a conflict on whether delete statements have actually been run or not. There is also hundreds of GB of space on the server so lack of space isnt an issue.
We have investigated as much as we can to no avail and we are now out of ideas.
Therefore if anyone knows of any reason this could happen i would be very thankful for any help.
Thanks in advance.

A: You should check if there are any cascade delete is on. This query can help you with that :
SELECT name,
       delete_referential_action_desc
FROM   sys.foreign_keys

I dont know if entity framework can have its own cascade delete, I dont use it. So I dont know how to check entity framework for cascade deletes.

"Great sized basket, very large seat unit, easy one-handed fold, folds with seat unit forward or parent-facing"
"Brake easy to catch when walking, large fold size, handle scuffs on floor when folded"
The latest addition to the Maxi-Cosi family is the Adorra travel system. Read our review to find out more about this attractive all-rounder.
The Maxi-Cosi Adorra is available in four colours: Nomad Black, Nomad Sand, Nomad Blue, Nomad Grey.
You'll be pleased to hear that the Maxi-Cosi Adorra is simple to put together. The box it arrives in is surprisingly small and everything is neatly packed inside. It's just a case of firmly clicking the four wheels into place, attaching the hood to the chassis and attaching the bumper bar should you want it. I didn't even need to look at the instructions - the pushchair was ready to go in just a few minutes. But a word to the wise: just be careful when popping the front wheels on. The Adorra has specific left and right front wheels and it's easy to know when you've got them on correctly as they will only click into place when on the right side. When all is set up, the Adorra is a great-looking pushchair. The stylish brushed aluminium chassis is really pleasing to the eye.
The wheels are all solid PVA. They're great for city strolling but over tougher pavements and paved surfaces we did find the pushchair gave a bit of a wobble as the suspension is minimal. It is, however, really easy to turn and steer with just one hand. At times we would hold our toddler's hand whilst steering the Adorra through crowds of people and never once did it feel strenuous or difficult to handle at all.
When it comes to the Adorra's brake system, it is super-simple. The brake is located right in the centre of the rear axle and is applied easily by pushing down. The brake mechanism is nice and firm and there is an audible click, so you know that you have done it correctly. To remove the brake you simply place your foot underneath the mechanism and lift the lever back up again. If you've got a big stride, you might just find you catch the brake pedal with your toes when you're walking, so watch your step!
The handle is covered with leatherette and feels lovely to hold. It's quite a fine handlebar as they go, which is great news as it sits comfortably in even smaller palms. The handlebar adjusts in height by squeezing the centrally located button and has a fantastic range from 99cm to 113cm. This means the tallest and shortest of pushchair drivers can push the Adorra comfortably for hours without feeling like they are stooping or straining in any way - a real back saver!
If you're looking for an urban pushchair, you will be wanting a generously sized shopping basket to store all of your shopping and baby's luggage - the Adorra gives you exactly that! The shopping basket is huge and we could easily fit two or three bags of shopping in it. Plus thanks to the design you can pile it high without things falling over the sides.
The seat of the Adorra can be used from birth and can be clicked onto the chassis in the forward or rear-facing position. What we loved about this system was the memory buttons on each side of the pushchair. You press the clearly marked grey circles inwards and they stay in so that you are able to remove the seat unit with just one hand whilst you carry your baby or toddler in the other.
The Adorra seat is also a good width and height - the seat width is 32.5cm and was wide enough to accommodate our 2-and-a-half year old tester and probably a cuddly toy or two as well. The height of the seat back is 44cm and our toddler's head was not quite at the top yet.
The Adorra seat can be reclined using the simple one-hand lever at the rear of the seat unit. There are three positions to choose from. Our toddler loved the bolt upright position when he was awake and always looked extremely comfortable in the luxuriously padded seat unit. Our 5-month-old tester spent her travels in the Adorra's flattest recline position or in a Maxi-Cosi baby car seat using the Adorra as part of a travel system. When using the lie-flat position, there is a distinctive look to the Adorra. The seat unit is made of two different fabrics, which gives a unique appearance to the pushchair when fully reclined. When upright, this excess seat fabric does gather at the top of baby's head but didn't seem to get in the way at all.
The five-point harness has lovely padded covers. The straps are easy to adjust and we liked that there was an audible click when fastening it together. It was easy to clip and unclip, but not so easy that the children could let themselves out! The harness feels of great quality and sports that trusty Maxi-Cosi logo too.
The hood is a very decent size and offers good shade protection. It moves smoothly and is quiet so shouldn't disturb a sleeping baby. The hood is made from a lovely thick material and when fully extended provides a calm and cosy place for baby to snuggle up, no matter where you are.
There is a bumper bar on the Adorra seat and it is covered in the same leatherette as the handlebar. The bumper bar is gate opening and can be opened with one hand, which makes getting a child in and out of the seat much easier.
The seat also has lots of sumptuous padding to keep babies and toddlers of all ages comfortable on long day trips out. We wouldn't have minded hopping in there ourselves!
Urban living requires a pushchair than can fold easily as you never know when you might need to fold your pushchair down to get on public transport or store in the corner of a cafe whilst you break for lunch. The Adorra is certainly easy to fold and this can be done with the seat unit in place facing rearwards or forwards. It's a great asset not to have to remove the pushchair seat from the chassis to fold, especially if you will be needing to fold and unfold your pushchair often. To fold the Adorra simply squeeze the clasps on the top of the hood together and flip the seat in half. This reveals the central barrel with the main fold mechanism on. Push the barrel to the side whilst simultaneously squeezing the palm clasp in as well. Twist the barrel and in one fell swoop the pushchair folds. It sounds quite long-winded to explain but we can assure you that the fold was quick, easy and most definitely achievable with just one hand.
There is an auto-lock hook that holds the pushchair together when folded and you just need to remember to pull this back with your thumb to unfold the frame. The folded Adorra also stands alone to make it easier to store without having to prop it up against anything.
One thing that we did notice was that the lovely leatherette handlebar rests on the floor when folded so you might need to keep an eye out for scratches and scrapes. The final fold package is quite large for an urban pushchair but it isn't heavy and is very easy to lift and transport.
The Maxi Cosi Adorra is a workmanlike but stylish urban pushchair that will be great 'around town'.
The seat unit is large in both height and width so will definitely last you the course of your child's pushchair years. It's also gorgeously padded, making it extra comfortable for your little passenger.
Even though we did tend to catch the brake with our feet as we strolled, the brake was overall simple and effective to use.
Those with a limited amount of house space might not favour the Adorra as the overall folded package is large for an urban pushchair, but it is free-standing when folded so it will stand in a corner until it is needed. It is really easy to fold with just one hand, which makes for an easier life for parents.
If you are looking for something between a stroller and a big pushchair that will last throughout your child's strolling years, we recommend you take a look at the Maxi-Cosi Adorra.

Annual Pilgrimage at Tunisia Begins
Pilgrims arrive at Tunisia's Ghriba synagogue amid tight security, with reinforcements deployed around Djerba.

Lag B'Omer bonfire

Pilgrims arrived on Friday at Tunisia's Ghriba synagogue, the oldest in Africa, expressing hope that this year would mark a turning point for the ritual despite a rise in Islamist unrest since the 2011 revolution.
The three-day pilgrimage is taking place amid tight security, with reinforcements deployed around Djerba, the Mediterranean resort island that houses the synagogue, the AFP news agency reported.
More than a dozen army trucks were stationed at Ghriba itself, where an Al-Qaeda attack in 2002 killed 21 people, with police checkpoints set up around the nearby Jewish neighborhoods and on the road linking the airport to the tourist zone, the report said.
Organizers hope to welcome at least 1,000 pilgrims on Sunday, including some 500 foreigners, among them several dozen Israelis, as well as members of Tunisia's diminished Jewish community. In the past, thousands would flock to the synagogue for the annual Lag Ba'Omer pilgrimage.
On Friday, a small crowd gathered inside the 2,500-year-old synagogue saying prayers, lighting candles and singing, reported AFP.
The anticipated number of pilgrims is still far below the 8,000 that came before the 2002 attack, and even the 3,000 that had returned prior to the revolution that toppled former strongman Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in January 2011.
The event was cancelled that year with the country on edge after the mass uprisings, but it resumed discreetly in 2012 and no incidents were reported.
Kamel Essid, an adviser at the religious affairs ministry, said he had come "to show our Jewish brothers that we respect all religions." The Muslim official added that it was the government's "duty" to make every effort to ensure the gathering's success.
Friza Haddad, a Tunisian singer and familiar voice at the annual Ghriba ceremonies, said he wanted to believe there was a future for the pilgrimage, on an island where Jews and Muslims have coexisted harmoniously.
"Here there is no problem, we live as a community. There are Jews here, and Muslims there," he told AFP. "But it's only on Djerba that things are like that. In the last two years there have been problems elsewhere" in Tunisia,.
The once-banned Islamist Ennahda party received 89 out of 217 seats, more than triple the seats won by any other party, in Tunisia's first democratic election after the revolution. It subsequently said that Islamic law will not be enshrined in the country's new Constitution.
Tunisia's president, Moncef Marzouki, has called on the country's Jewish population to return to his country, saying Tunisia's Jews are full-fledged citizens and those who had left the country were welcome to return.
But while the organizers of the annual pilgrimage express confidence in the security arrangements at Djerba, other groups have raised concerns over an apparent rise in anti-Semitic language, accusing the authorities of not taking the problem seriously.

Nerve Storm was devised by 6 members of the KIC Core Training Group over a period of one year using skills from street dance, contact improvisation and physical theatre image-making. The production also used abstract and personal portrait video imagery along with an eclectic musical soundtrack ranging from Miles Davis to Arvo Part. The production was a vivid and intimate collage of personal fragments from the lives of group members.
Belfast Telegraph, Friday, April 27th, 2001.
Kids today, eh? You couldn't watch them. Well, you could, actually. Particularly if they're Kids in Control, whose Minifest has been running at The Old Museum Arts Centre this week.
Last night saw the first performance of Nerve Storm. Performed by 6 young people, it used physical theatre to tell their stories. Against an image of the human brain, Susanna grooved and twirled, what a dancer!-before telling the audience how she danced her way into herself. She found her centre; she knew who she was and where she'd come from. And she had a fair idea of where she was headed.
Her 5 friends felt the same. Each gave a brief outline of the events that had shaped them -politicians would do well to listen to these pleas for peace before creating their own space where they could be themselves.
Among the references to murders and atrocities during the Troubles were snippets of how life seems to teenagers today. One girl remarked that she had red paint under her fingernails because she'd been painting a field of poppies. Then she added that she'd painted cauliflowers and broccoli too, because her parents used to own a greengrocer's shop.
Using impressive dancing skills and astonishing self-assurance, these six young ambassadors showed a clarity of thought and purpose that the rest of us could only envy. Artistic Director David Calvert has guided the participants of Kids in Control to a very special place. By teaching them skills and techniques he has given them the confidence of knowing that they can perform, and take pride in their endeavours.
Nerve Storm is an organic piece, constantly eveolving, and developing into something different. Its all about personal discovery, and these performers have unearthed a lot about themselves. We've got a lot to learn from them.
Nerve Storm was devised and performed by the KIC Core Training Group. The production toured to Huis aan de Werf in Utrecht, Holland as part of the Ireland Festival 2001 and to The Melkweg Amsterdam where it was performed alongside a collaborative piece with the Dutch group Don't Hit Mama. The performances in Belfast were part of the KIC Minifest which also displayed the work of KIC Peer Leaders with community outreach projects.

The hypotrichs are a group of ciliated protozoa, common in fresh water, salt water, soil and moss. Hypotrichs possess compound ciliary organelles called "cirri," which are made up of thick tufts of cilia, sparsely distributed on the ventral surface of the cell. The multiple fused cilia which form a cirrus function together as a unit, enabling the organism to crawl along solid substrates such as submerged debris or sediments. Hypotrichs typically possess a large oral aperture, bordered on one side by a wreath or collar of membranelles (small membranous structures made up of fused cilia), forming an "adoral zone of membranelles," or AZM.

Classification

In older systems of classification, the term hypotrich comprised all ciliates possessing a relatively flattened body shape, strong cirri restricted to the ventral surface, and a large oral region (peristome) partially surrounded by an "adoral zone of membranelles".  From a phylogenetic point of view, this historic grouping--which included both euplotid ciliates (such as Euplotes and Aspidisca), and stichotrichian ciliates (such as Oxytricha and Urostyla)--is paraphyletic. Any natural group, or clade, that contains both Euplotes and Oxytricha would also have to include many morphologically dissimilar spirotrich ciliates, such as the tintinnids and the oligotrichs.

In the classification system developed by Denis Lynn in collaboration with Eugene B. Small, the subclass Hypotrichia was restricted to euplotids and one small order of marine ciliates called Kiitrichida, while most of the traditional hypotrichs were placed in the subclass Stichotrichia. However, some prominent researchers—notably, the Austrian ciliatologist Helmut Berger—rejected Lynn's nomenclature, and continued to assign non-euplotid "hypotrich" ciliates, such as oxytrichids and urostyloids, to some variant of Friedrich von Stein's original order Hypotricha.

In their revised classification of the phylum Ciliophora, published in 2016, Gao et al. place the "stichotrichs" of Lynn & Small in the synonymous subclass Hypotrichia, and place all euplotid and discocephalid ciliates in the subclass Euplotia. The same high-level taxa are used, without ranks, by Adl et al. in their "Revised Classification of Eukaryotes" of 2012.

New GOP Line: "King v. Burwell no biggie!" Jeffrey Young: "Um...actually, yeah, it's a biggie."
For months now, whenever I've crunched the numbers to figure out how many people would be screwed by an adverse King v. Burwell ruling by the Supreme Court (answer: around 6-7 million directly, plus another 6-7 million indirectly), I've always made sure to include one caveat: A small percent at the upper range of the federal subsidy range wouldn't really be impacted much:
Assuming that NM, OR & NV are "in the clear" for federal subsidies (and this still isn't clear), you'd have to subtract around 175K from the total; call it 6.5 million who would actually lose their federal tax credits.
Of those, let's assume that perhaps 5% are at the upper end of the tax credit limit and are therefore only receiving nominal credits (say, $30 or less per month). For those folks, losing these credits, in and of itself, would be annoying but hardly devastating; I have to imagine they won't drop their coverage if that was the only change (which it isn't, but I'll get to that in a moment).
However, I was just spitballing that 5%; I didn't do the actual math to see just how many people at various income levels would be seriously hurt. Fortunately, over at the Huffington Post, Jeffrey Young has done exactly that:
Get ready for a new line from the crowd that brought a lawsuit before the Supreme Court threatening to devastate Obamacare and snatch health insurance away from millions of people: The lawsuit won't actually devastate Obamacare and snatch health insurance away from millions of people.
It may seem an odd argument coming from conservatives who created and pursued this legal case for the past three years as a terrific way to ruin Obamacare. But if they win, millions of people are going to lose their health insurance, and Americans who aren't happy about that are going look for someone to blame -- maybe the people who brought the lawsuit, for example, or the Republican politicians who supported them.
...In the absence of a congressional fix to this crisis, trying to persuade the public there isn't much to worry about might be an understandable fallback strategy if you want the lawsuit to prevail. Enter the Heritage Foundation and the American Enterprise Institute, two conservative think tanks in Washington that do.
...That seems like it could be a problem, since 83 percent of Obamacare enrollees on the federal exchanges have annual incomes of 250 percent of the federal poverty level or less, which works out to no more than $23,450 for a single person, according to Avalere Health, a consulting firm. In other words, these aren't Americans with a lot of extra money. And the average value of the tax credits they stand to lose is $263 a month, a substantial amount for people at this income level.
In other words, it looks like my off-the-cuff "95% are screwed" estimate is about right. Consider this: About 8.8 million people enrolled via HC.gov. 87% of them are receiving federal subsidies, or around 7.6 million. Meanwhile, 83% of all 8.8 million HC.gov enrollees are at 250% FPL or lower. That's about 7.3 million...which is about 96% of 7.6 million. Of course, not all of those folks will pay their premiums; at an 88% payment rate, you're down to about 6.4 million remaining who'd be in a world of hurt.
Young goes on to crunch the numbers a few different ways, but the point is that the vast majority of these people would have no viable/realistic options. He also points out a second way that these folks would be in major trouble:
And this doesn't even factor in the effects of a second type of subsidy only available to people earning up to 250 percent of poverty, which reduces their out-of-pocket health care expenses, and which also would go away in the high court rules for the plaintiffs.
He's referring here to the Cost Sharing Reduction program, which is only available for those at 250% FPL or lower who enroll in Silver plans specifically. Andrew Sprung has a lot more info on this.
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!!
Young doesn't even get into the other half of the story...the 7 million or so folks who aren't receiving federal tax credits at the moment either on or off of the ACA exchanges. THOSE people might not be financially ruined, but they'd sure as hell feel a nasty squeeze as THEIR premiums spike a good 35-47% in response to the King v. Burwell ruling.

How is Bosch connected to this journey?
With such challenging road and weather conditions, all aspects of safety must be taken into account, especially the motorbikes of choice.
The bikes chosen for this daunting ride, The Dominar is driven by an Engine Management System (EMS) and its Anti-Lock Braking gives the rider to take on the road, both handcrafted by Bosch.


Green Flash Ohana | A lovely space to relax between adventures on the Big Island.
A lovely space to relax between adventures on the Big Island.
Walking from one side to the other 4 times is about a mile, or maybe it was 5 or 6 times … that's the best, the ocean eases the need to know about time. Lost of folks out at 0800 looking clear.
Went 4 walk on upper highway, noticed my new light "raincoat" doesn't do as advertised! Oh well. The view divine.
What an incredible time! The air is so clear, makes the garden shine.
Folks come & go, leaving a bit of their magic via their stories, shared dinners & events. Let's see, there was the Hawai'i Performing Arts festival which seemed to overtake the town with young people dancing in the streets, offering heartfelt quality performances by night. My young guest from Taiwan played her violin in the Ohana, the house and myself were spellbound by her. Turned off all distraction to listen and feel the reverberation of her music.
Then came a family reunion, celebrating together for a week. They had so much fun it also wore off on us hosts.
I feel great blessings with new guests as they arrive.
Atop Mauna Kea looking over at Mauna Loa.
On an island, to be centrally located, is good! Kamuela (aka Waimea), has access to all! From this location, one can choose what will best fit their desire.
Many come for ocean activity, which is plentiful. Located about 10 miles to Hapuna Beach, a ½ mile stretch of white sand with easy access; or to more remote beaches that line the coast. According to National Geographic, Kauna'oa Bay is the quintessential Hawaiian Spot. This is an invitation to explore, find your own personal favorite.
It takes longer than you imagine to get from one place to another, you may look at a map and see 20 miles. Not knowing the stretch of 20 miles are rugged roads with many curves, it will take, at least, double time what one would expect. We do forget, people from the mainland are used to driving distances. For islanders, if we have to go further than half way around, we are likely bring a picnic, bedroll and change of clothes. Or at least another driver.
Hawai'i Island is new land, a toddler. The youngest of the apparent Volcanic Chain, Loihi, remains underwater and unlikely to be seen by my eyes in this lifetime. On new lava, life is formed. What never ceases to thrill me is the green plant life growing amid the a'a, the sharp, beautiful rock that looks like rough ocean water stopped mid air. If one accidentally walks on a'a, that is exactly what they say, only very loud, "A'A"!
Come, learn of the many facets of Hawai'i Island!


Disgraced art dealer Mary Boone is closing her influential Soho gallery after 42 years in business, according to ArtNews.
Boone — who famously sold Alec Baldwin a forged painting — was sentenced to 30 months in prison for filing false tax returns last week, and told the magazine she'll shut down shop before she reports to prison in May.
The gallery's final exhibitions will close April 27.


My name is Katherine Dullaghan. I am a Cenacle Companion for 12 years and live in Cork, Ireland. I work with adults with a physical disability and am employed by Cheshire Ireland, founded by Leonard Cheshire. I have no immediate family in Cork as I was born in Dundalk, on the north east coast of Ireland. My Mother and brother live there and three sisters in Dublin, England and U.S.
I was working in youth ministry directly after college and approached the Cenacle for spiritual direction. I was 22 years at the time. My Spiritual Director invited me to join the Companions after a number of years.
I was attracted by the welcome of the Cenacle Community in Cork and their spirituality which helped me to see God in all things. I also wanted to share my faith within a small community.
The monthly prayer and faith sharing within the group.
I find the support of the Cenacle Companions essential in my life. I would wish men and women within my peer group could find and be open to the same support.
It has been a privilege to attend provincial meetings with the Cenacle sisters and to attend International gatherings in Rome (2010), La Louvesc (2005) where I met Companions from all parts of the world. One realises the attraction of the Cenacle charism for people of genders, all ages and cultures.
Making time for daily personal prayer as part of my commitment as a Companion.
Set aside a length of time and make a prayer space. Stick to that time and place. Make prayer an essential part of daily life.
Value your own life and faith journey.

Conserving the Nature of America
FWS Home
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and NOAA Fisheries Propose Rescinding Critical Habitat Regulations Finalized in 2020
Contact(s):
Brian Hires, brian_hires@fws.gov, 703-346-9941
To better fulfill the conservation purposes of the Endangered Species Act (ESA), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries) are proposing to rescind two critical habitat regulations finalized in December 2020. The proposed actions would rescind the Services' joint regulatory definition of "habitat" and FWS regulations that govern critical habitat exclusions under 4(b)(2) of the ESA.
The proposed actions follow Executive Order 13990, which directed all federal agencies to review and address agency actions to ensure consistency with Biden administration objectives.
"The Endangered Species Act is one of the most important conservation tools in America and provides a safety net for species that are at risk of going extinct," said Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife and Parks Shannon Estenoz. "If finalized, today's proposed actions will bring the implementation of the Act back into alignment with its original intent and purpose – protecting and recovering America's biological heritage for future generations. In this effort, we look forward to continuing to work closely with our federal, Tribal, state and industry partners on behalf of our shared interests."
"NOAA Fisheries is committed to conserving and recovering threatened and endangered species as part of our foundational mandates under the Endangered Species Act," said Assistant Administrator for NOAA Fisheries Janet Coit. "If finalized, today's proposed action of rescinding the regulatory definition of habitat will improve our ability to use the tool of critical habitat designation appropriately and effectively to conserve listed species as envisioned in the statute."
In December 2020, FWS issued a final rule that revised the process for considering critical habitat exclusions under the ESA. FWS has re-evaluated this rule and concludes that the conservation purposes of the ESA are better met by resuming its previous approach to exclusions. That previous approach, which is currently used by NOAA Fisheries, is outlined in regulations at 50 CFR 424.19 and a 2016 policy on 4(b)(2) exclusions.
The two Services are also proposing to rescind their joint regulatory definition of the term habitat under the ESA (85 FR 81411; December 16, 2020). The Services have re-evaluated this rule and conclude that decisions regarding whether a certain area qualifies as habitat for a species should instead be made on a case-by-case basis using the best available science. The final rule could also have unintended consequences for the designation of critical habitat under the ESA because it excludes from consideration degraded areas that do not currently support species. However, the ESA is clear that such areas, some of which may be essential for the conservation of a species, could be considered "habitat."
Both of these proposed rescissions will undergo rigorous and transparent rulemaking processes before being finalized, including publication in the Federal Register, 30-day public comment periods, and coordination with federally recognized Tribes. The comment periods for these actions will close on November 26, 2021. The proposed regulations can be found in the Federal Register Reading Room at: https://www.federalregister.gov/public-inspection/current.

Learning Latin Terms
Home » Learning Latin Terms
The legal and medical professions extensively use terms derived from Latin. These obscure and foreign terms may seem incomprehensible, but there's no need to be intimidated by a statement like argumentum ad hominen(argument against the man), or a phrase like habeus corpus (give us the body). A brief glance at legal Latin ought to assure one that this esoteric lingo is completely penetrable.
Dramtis Persona (the person of the drama)
This term appears in almost every major screen play, playbill, or theater review. Literally it means the persons of the drama, but it essentially means all the cast of characters associated with a play, a film or a situation. A brief glimpse of the dramtis persona in Hamlet is as follows: Hamlet, Polonius, Gertrude, Ophelia, Claudius. As a side note, the animated film The Lion King is based off Hamlet. It is the story of an heir to the throne whose father is murdered by his brother. The rightful heir must struggle with his own will to avenge his father by killing his brother and reclaiming the throne of his father.
Ecce Signum (behold the sign)
This phrase was uttered in ancient Rome after a plaintiff revealed a key piece of evidence and clinched his case. For instance, a plaintiff might present a murder weapon to the jury with the accused initials on it. Following the presentation of the object he would say, ecce signum!for dramatic effect.
Exempli Gratia (for the sake of example)
This phrase is commonly abbreviated by e.g. It can be used in the place of a premise indicator such as for example, for instance or in fact. The sister of this commonly used phrase and abbreviation is id est or i.e. which means "that is."


Craig will be presented with the prestigious award at the annual Highlands and Islands Press Ball and Media Awards, being held at the Kingsmills Hotel, Inverness, on Friday 1 February and organised by PR agency System2.
He returned to Scotland in 1984 to work for what was then BBC Radio Highland, becoming senior producer responsible for the station's English language output. He spent several years as a freelance broadcaster and journalist, setting up his own production company, before re-joining the BBC as a senior reporter - working mainly for Reporting Scotland on BBC1 television and for Radio Scotland's news and current affairs output.
The Highlands and Islands Press Ball and Media Awards will be attended by 240 media personnel and their partners, as well as politicians and leading figures from public and private sector organisations.
The former editor of The Northern Scot, Mike Collins, is to receive a prestigious award which recognises a lifetime of achievement in journalism in the Highlands and Islands.
Mike will receive the Barron Trophy at the annual Highlands and Islands Press Ball and Media Awards, being held at the Kingsmills Hotel, Inverness, on Friday 2 February.
During his 44-year career in journalism, Mike has written mile-upon-mile of copy, bringing to life thousands of reports from across his Moray beat.
He stood down as editor of the 'Scot' at the end of last year after ten years at the helm. Under his editorship, the 'Scot' was named the Highlands and Islands, Scottish and UK Weekly Newspaper of the Year for its coverage of the 2010/11 Save RAF Lossiemouth campaign.
Mike said: "Winning those awards were very proud achievements for the newspaper, highlighting the importance of our campaigning credentials and the key role we play in our local community.
Born and brought up in Keith, Mike was educated at St Thomas' Primary and then at Keith Grammar. On leaving school, he studied journalism in Edinburgh before finding a job as a young reporter at the Banffshire Herald in his home town.
He went on to the Huntly Express before returning to the Keith paper as editor in 1976. He remained there until moving to the role of sub editor with the Aberdeen Press and Journal and then back to the 'Scot' as a sub editor and news editor.
He progressed through the roles of group chief sub editor – working on the Forres Gazette, Banffshire Journal and Strathspey and Badenoch Herald, too – as 'Scot' deputy editor and finally editor. It was in June 2007, following the retirement of his predecessor, Pauline Taylor, that he took the helm.
Mike has been reporting on Keith FC matches since 1973 and intends to continue providing match reports for the 'Scot'.
He lives in Keith with his wife Lorna and has two children – Kevin and Paula – and has three grandchildren.
At the 'Scot', he has passed on the baton to Chris Saunderson and Joe Millican, who will be joint group content editors for a newly formed Elgin hub and team of community reporters producing The Northern Scot as well as The Forres Gazette, Banffshire Journal, Banffshire Herald, Banffshire Advertiser and the Huntly Express.
The Highlands and Islands Press Ball and Media Awards is organised by Inverness-based communications and PR company System2 and is sponsored by Diageo, HighNet, Chivas Brothers, Highlands and Islands Enterprise, the National Union of Journalists and Bòrd na Gàidhlig.
The event's charity fundraising will benefit four local organisations: Alzheimer Scotland, Children's Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS), Highland Heart Failure Service and The Oxygen Works, created by the MS Therapy Centre.
David Ross, The Herald's long-serving Highland correspondent, is to receive this year's Barron Trophy, which recognises lifetime achievement in journalism in the Highlands and Islands.
David will be presented with the prestigious award at the annual Highlands and Islands Press Ball and Media Awards, being held at the Kingsmills Hotel, Inverness, on Friday 3 February.
David was brought up in Perthshire and Argyll, his father the son of a Presbyterian minister and his mother from a croft on the island of Iona. He studied in Edinburgh to be a teacher of history and modern studies. But David was to follow a career in journalism and worked with the Community Education monthly newspaper SCAN and the Times Educational Supplement Scotland (TESS) before joining the Glasgow Herald in Edinburgh.
His move to the north came in August 1988 when he was appointed to his current role covering the Highlands and Islands.
From his base in Cromarty, David produces a wide range of writing including the top news stories of the day, features, obituaries, arts reviews, leader-writing, columns, magazine and business articles.
Since April 2015, David has worked for The Herald on a part-time basis.
His son, Calum, has followed in dad's footsteps into journalism and is Chief Reporter of the Press and Journal, based in Inverness. Calum has been short-listed for Reporter of the Year in this year's Highlands and Islands Media Awards.
David said: "I feel very honoured to be awarded the Barron Trophy, not least because I am following in the footsteps of really significant figures in Highland journalism, including many good friends. Sadly, not all are still with us.
BBC reporters Craig Anderson and Jackie O'Brien nominated David for the award. They agree that few journalists have contributed more to journalism in the Highlands and Islands over the last 30 years than David.
Craig said: "I've been a constant admirer of David's craft and style. He is a dogged and enthusiastic seeker after the truth. His writing style is fluid and forthright. And he conducts himself with a combination of amiability and professionalism.
Jackie said: "David has made his mark with the major stories that have touched the lives of ordinary Highlanders. Accuracy is his middle name but his passion for the land on which he lives and works brings David's work to life.
Paul Breen, the former editor of the award-winning Highland News Group, is to receive this year's Barron Trophy, which recognises lifetime achievement in journalism in the Highlands and Islands.
Paul, who has worked in regional and local newspapers in the North of Scotland for more than 40 years, will be presented with the award at the annual Highlands and Islands Press Ball and Media Awards, being held at the Drumossie Hotel, Inverness, on Friday 5 February.
Paul began his career as a trainee reporter with the Northern Scot in Elgin in 1974. Four years later, he moved to the Press and Journal and worked for 12 years in its Inverness office, covering many of the big stories of the time.
In 1990, he joined the Inverness Courier as a senior sub-editor before moving to the Highland News Group in 2002. For the past nine years he was group editor, being in charge of the North Star and Lochaber News as well as the Highland News.
During his time as group editor, the Highland News has won the title of Scottish Weekly Newspaper of the Year and been short-listed for this award in each of the last six years. The Highland News has also won the Newspaper of the Year for the Highlands and Islands and been short-listed on many occasions.
Gordon Fyfe, chairman of the Highlands and Islands Media Awards judging panel, said: "I had the pleasure of working beside Paul for 12 years and can testify to the fearless nature of his style in delivering balanced, accurate and well researched stories.
Eilidh Davies, chief reporter of the Highland News and Highlands and Islands Journalist of the Year in 2014, added: "Paul kept the Highland News Group entertaining and informative with a hard edge for news.

The distant galaxy, dubbed A1689-zD1, appears as a whitish blob in the Spitzer IRAC close-up view. The galaxy is brimming with star birth. Hubble and Spitzer worked together to show that it is one of the youngest and likely the most distant galaxies ever discovered. Astronomers estimate that the galaxy is 13 billion light-years away. Abell 1689 is 2.2 billion light-years away.

Q: Excel cell contains reference to other cell. Set a range to point at the other cell A1 Cell formula in Sheet1:
=Sheet2!B6

In VBA I am getting cell A1 formula, but I wish to do something like this:
Dim rng1 as range
Set rng1 = worksheets("Sheet1").formula

I know the above is not right, the range would require an object and not a formula.

A: What if you did something like this:
Sub t()
Dim rng As Range, formulaSheet$, formulaCell$
Dim theFormula$

theFormula = Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(1, 1).Formula
theFormula = Right(theFormula, Len(theFormula) - 1)
Debug.Print theFormula

formulaSheet = Left(theFormula, WorksheetFunction.Search("!", theFormula) - 1)
formulaCell = Right(theFormula, Len(theFormula) - WorksheetFunction.Search("!", theFormula))
Debug.Print formulaSheet & ", " & formulaCell

Dim myRange As Range
Set myRange = Sheets(formulaSheet).Range(formulaCell)
myRange.Select
End Sub

A: It is a little unclear on whether you have the value Sheet2!B6 in Sheet1!A1 or actually have the formula =Sheet2!B6 in Sheet1!A1.
For the value in Sheet1!A1,
Dim rng1 as range
Set rng1 = range(worksheets("Sheet1").range("a1").value)
debug.print rng1.address(0, 0, external:=true)    '<~~ Sheet2!B6

For the formula in Sheet1!A1,
Dim rng1 as range
Set rng1 = range(mid(worksheets("Sheet1").range("a1").formula, 2))
debug.print rng1.address(0, 0, external:=true)    '<~~ Sheet2!B6

I spent the first half of my childhood in Moldova, a tiny republic of the former Soviet Union, rich with fruit, vegetables and wine. It is the Napa of the Eastern Europe!
Life in Moldova was simple. Eat seasonally, drink year-round. During summertime, my mom would bring home mountains of produce and my dad would can it for the winter. My grandpa would pick the grapes off the vines outside our home and my grandma would make enough wine to last until the next pick. Sometimes, for a special occasion, she would also infuse Vodka.
I've always been intrigued with wine making and alcohol infusion but never really had a chance to try it myself. Until I received a book from a publisher with a page full of interesting flavored vodka ideas. I knew it was time for experimentation.
As it turns out, infusing vodka with flavor is a piece of cake (although it goes better with a pickle.) Buy your favorite brand, drop in the flavoring agent, and perform probably the most difficult step in the process – wait a few days.
After that, enjoy a low calorie/full flavor mood enhancer. Sip it on the rocks, since the taste of the alcohol is mellowed out by the smoothness of the flavoring agent, or mix it into a drink for a greater deeper flavor.
I decided to go with 4 different flavoring agents and played around a little with the infusion time. I felt that keeping the aromatics in the spirits a little bit longer (1 week vs 24 hrs) produced most flavorsome infusions.
Place 1 clove of garlic, slightly crushed, 1 sprig of fresh dill and 3 white peppercorns in 1 pint of plain vodka. Infuse at room temperature for 24 hours. Strain. A small bit of dill may be left in the vodka, if desired.
Place a few sprigs of tarragon (or any other favorite herb,) in 1 pint of plain vodka and infuse at room temperature for 24 hours. Strain. A small bit of the herb may be left in the vodka.
Great mixed in a Tarragon Vodka with Oro Blanco Grapefruit Juice or Miss Vicki.
Place a 2-inch peeled piece of horseradish in 1 pint of plain vodka and infuse at room temperature for 48 hours. Strain, then add a couple of springs of dill.
Infusing vodka with fresh horseradish lends extra spice to many of your favorite vodka drinks, especially Bloody Mary. But it is also great on its own. Cheers! If you want to try other flavors, listed in the book (anise, apricot, black-current, cherry, coriander, pepper, saffron, tea or buffalo grass vodka), get your own copy of A Taste of Russia.
Those little bottles you have are so stinkin cute! Where did you find them?
These vodka's are so designee that I feel ashamed for waiting for an opportunity to empty these bottles.
I love the Moldova = Napa of Eastern Europe – they should use it as a tag line to promote Moldovian tourism!
This is on my too try list. I think the citrus season is ending, so oranges should be in abundance..
Your dog looks very eager to try the vodka. Haha.
I love horseradish vodka! It is the best, esp. at room temperature.

41 more deaths from COVID-19 in Ireland with 778 additional cases confirmed
The Department of Health has confirmed a further 41 COVID-19 related deaths in Ireland and an additional 778 cases.
This brings the total number of deaths in the Republic of Ireland to 571.
With the new figures, the total now stands at 14,758 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Ireland.

Of the additional 778 cases, 630 are new confirmed cases of COVID-19 reported by Irish laboratories, while 148 confirmed cases of COVID-19 were reported by a laboratory in Germany.
Of the deaths notified today, 35 are located in the east, 2 in the north west and 4 in the west of the country. The deaths included 23 females and 18 males.
The median age of today's reported deaths is 83, while 35 people were reported as having underlying health conditions.
CEO of the Health Service Executive (HSE) Paul Reid has said that he is 'heartbroken' after speaking to the next of kin of a HSE healthcare worker who has died from COVID-19.
Talking to the next of kin of a HSE healtcare worker, who sadly has passed away due to #COVID19, has truly broken my heart. I'm so sorry for everyone who is suffering such grief from this awful disease. There are no words. @HSELive
— Paul Reid (@paulreiddublin) April 18, 2020
'Talking to the next of kin of a HSE healtcare worker, who sadly has passed away due to #COVID19, has truly broken my heart,' he said. 'I'm so sorry for everyone who is suffering such grief from this awful disease. There are no words.'
On Friday, Dr Tony Holohan, Chief Medical Officer (CMO) for the Department of Health, appeared on The Late Late Show.
The CMO offered some hope as he told host Ryan Tubridy that he thinks Ireland has flattened the curve.
'We think we've flattened that curve so much that there is no peak, that we think we can go along at a low level and reduce it even further.' Pic: Colin Keegan, Collins Dublin
'We think we've flattened that curve so much that there is no peak, that we think we can go along at a low level and reduce it even further,' he said.
'That's the good news. That's the impact that we've had from all of the work that everybody across society has done.'
Dr Holohan said 'hundreds of lives' have been saved as the Irish public continue to abide by the restrictions put in place by the government, now extended from April 12 to May 5.
The effects have reduced the reproduction rate of the virus. On average, a person who is infected is passing it on to less than one person. Pic: Colin Keegan, Collins Dublin
The effects have reduced the reproduction rate of the virus. On average, a person who is infected is passing it on to less than one person.
However, Dr Holohan insisted that the restriction won't be lifted before May 5 and the department do not know if schools will open in September.
Meanwhile building sites are set to reopen while pubs may stay shut until 2021.
