Shares of stock, which represent fractional ownership in companies, offer a way for people of all economic means to invest in companies and build wealth. History shows that long-term investors can win in the stock market because it appreciates over the years. That said, some people who remain active in the market over many years manage to lose some money because of easily avoidable mistakes.
Broker conflicts: Some investors make the mistake of investing in individual stocks through a broker who earns commissions. The standard pitch of these firms and their brokers is that they maintain research departments that monitor and report on stocks. Their brokers use this research to tell you when to buy, sell, or hold. It sounds good in theory, but this system has significant problems. Many brokerage firms happen to be in another business that creates enormous conflicts of interest in producing objective company reviews. These investment firms also solicit companies to help them sell new stock and bond issues. To gain this business, the brokerage firms need to demonstrate enthusiasm and optimism for the company's future prospects. Studies of brokerage firms' stock ratings have shown that from a predictive perspective, most of their research is barely worth the cost of the paper that it's printed on.
Short-term trading: Unfortunately (for themselves), some investors track their stock investments closely and believe that they need to sell after short holding periods — months, weeks, or even days. With the growth of Internet and computerized trading, such shortsightedness has taken a turn for the worse as more investors now engage in a foolish process known as day trading, in which they buy and sell a stock within the same day! Whether you hold a stock for only a few hours or a few months, you're not investing; you're gambling. Specifically, the numerous drawbacks to short-term trading include higher trading costs, more taxes and tax headaches, lower returns from being out of the market when it moves up, and inordinate amounts of time spent researching and monitoring your investments.
Following gurus: It's tempting to wish that you could consult a guru who could foresee an impending major decline and get you out of an investment before it tanks. Nearly all these folks significantly misrepresent their past predictions and recommendations. Also, the few who made some halfway-decent predictions in the recent short term had poor or unremarkable longer-term track records. As you develop your investment portfolio, take a level of risk and aggressiveness with which you're comfortable. No pundit has a working crystal ball that can tell you what's going to happen with the economy and financial markets in the future.

Bloopul: Promotional agency on Spotify
If you are someone who loves to listen to music or if you are a music artist looking to promote their songs, then you must have heard about Spotify at least once in your life. You can listen to all music genres on Spotify and that too on all devices whether it is tabloid, computer, laptop or Smartphone.
Bloopul is an award-winning music agency that promotes songs from every artist or record label who has subscribed them. They have over 750,000 subscribers worldwide who listen to their Spotify playlists regularly. So, when a person submits their track to bloopul, a member of their team places their track in a playlist of similar genre. This way all the people who listen to this genre will listen to this artist's songs and they would be able to gain more popularity.
Under Spotify promotion-playlist placement, there are three packages and you can choose to subscribe to either one of them according to your suitability.
Basic – All songs under basic package are placed under a playlist which has 5-10k followers. These tracks get 1-3k streams on a weekly basis. This plan costs £39 per week. If you have any problems or some instructions, then bloopul also supports you through emails and live chats.
Standard – This standard plan costs £59 per week. Artists who have subscribed this plan get around 3-6k streams on their tracks in a week. These tracks are put under playlists with 10-25k followers. This plan also provides help to artists through email support and live chats.
Premium – Tracks under this package get around 6-12k streams per week and the playlist under which they are placed have about 25-50k followers. This plan costs £98 per week. Here too artists get support through live chats and emails.
These packages cover 5 biggest music genres on Spotify: Rock, Indie, EDM, Pop and Hip-Hop. And tracks are placed under these playlists according to which genre they belong to. Bloopul accepts all soundtracks except for the ones with poor quality mixing.
So, if we are to list out, there are three steps that are usually followed before a track gets on bloopul's playlist. First, one needs to submit their track to bloopul and subscribe to either one of the three packages available. Second, after listening to the track, bloopul decides which playlist will be best suited for the track according to the genre of the song. Third, the process of playlist placement is usually done within 24 hours of the submission if the payment for the subscription is done. Bloopul then sends you the link of the playlist via email.
The artist or the record label can then expect to see outstanding and promising results. Through Spotify, an artist can reach thousands of people all at once. Here, the speciality is that one needn't be a recognised artist to make their voice heard. This platform is great for upcoming artists who are just at the peak of their music career. Bloopul ensures that these artists get this appreciation and love from all the melophiles as they truly deserve.

"Body of Evidence" was the title of a talk given by Dominic Smee, Richard's "body double", at Leicester University earlier this year. Until recently, one of the great mysteries surrounding the last Plantagenet king was the contradiction between the severity of his supposed deformities and his reputation as a soldier, praised amongst others by his brother Edward IV, who was himself considered a paragon of military prowess. Some historians suspected that his deformities were exaggerated or even completely invented by his political enemies, pointing to the fact that reports about them only began to surface after his death, while others argued that it was his military reputation which was exaggerated and that his contemporaries were simply too scared to mention his deformities during his lifetime.
The finding of Richard's skeleton with its severe scoliosis has reignited the debate. As Philippa Langley succinctly put it when first setting eyes on the royal remains: "How do you fit armour on that?" This was the question scientists and historians tried to answer by dressing scoliosis sufferer Dominic in medieval armour and putting him through his paces. The results were presented in the TV documentary "Richard III – The New Evidence" (published in the US as "Secrets of the Dead – Resurrecting Richard III") – at least, some of them. The purpose of Dominic's talk at Leicester University was to reveal, based on photos, videos and personal anecdotes, what the producers had chosen to exclude.
The scoliosis and its effects (or not)
He began by showing an x-ray of his scoliosis, which is identical to Richard's in terms of angle and rib rotation, except that Richard's scoliosis starts from the 4th vertebra whereas Dominic's starts from the 3rd vertebra. This means that he has slightly less mobility in his hips than Richard while Richard would instead have had slightly less mobility in his right shoulder. Given how dramatic the curvature looked on the x-ray, it was startling how little it seemed to affect Dominic as he moved around the auditorium and under a t-shirt and light jacket it was all but invisible.
He explained that due to the sideways curvature of his spine the lung capacity on his left side is reduced, but the right side is normal and while he tires more easily than a person without scoliosis, it is not a big issue. The documentary shows him struggling for breath on a treadmill, but at that point he had already been running for 20 minutes. According to his orthopaedic surgeon his other internal organs, such as his heart, are not affected by the scoliosis, which was a key reason why Dominic decided not to have corrective surgery.
There has been much speculation about Richard being in pain and the impact this may have had on him physically and psychologically, but Dominic didn't experience any pain during his teens and now, in his late twenties, only gets muscle cramps in cold weather conditions or when lifting something heavy, though not enough to need pain killers. He described the pain from a trapped nerve as 10-20 times worse. Unlike Richard he doesn't have arthritis in his spine, so he was unable to comment on its effect, but this may have been a relatively recent development for the king, who was 32 years old at the time of his death. He would have also been training for armed combat since childhood, which would have strengthened his muscles and helped to support his back.
By contrast, aside from a spell of karate in his teens Dominic led a sedentary lifestyle, so he had to start his knightly training from scratch at age 26. He estimated that he received 40 hours of horse training and 32 hours of weapons training over three months, at an average of two lessons per week, to prepare him for the challenges that were thrown at him in the documentary. The producers actually had a stand-in on hand, but Dominic did so well that they decided to use him all the way.
Customising the armour and unseen research
Because of the sideways curvature of his spine Dominic's rib cage rests on his hip, so regular armour causes his ribs to rub against the plate, restricting his breathing. The custom-made asymmetrical cuirass, created by Swedish armourer Per Lillelund Jensen from CK45 spring steel, the closest modern equivalent to medieval armour steel, accommodates the curvature and rests on his shoulders instead of his waist. At 62 pounds total weight his armour is also lighter than average to allow for greater agility and to minimise the impact of the asymmetrical weight distribution on his horse. Dominic had brought the cuirass along to the talk and despite the slightly uneven shoulders, which would normally be concealed by the shoulder pauldrons, it looked remarkably "normal".
1) and 2) Dominic in full armour, and 3) the custom-made cuirass
Dominic gave due credit to his teachers, Dave Rawlings of the London Longsword Academy and Dominic Sewell of Historic Equitation, as he described how he started out learning sword moves from Hans Talhoffer's medieval fencing manual, but then moved on to other weapons as Richard would have also learned to fight with battle axe and lance, how he and his horse learnt to deal with the asymmetrical weight distribution and how they discovered that the medieval saddle supported his back.
He also revealed that they choreographed a number of scenarios to explore how Richard may have died, both on foot and sitting on a vaulting horse, to see how long he could have defended himself against a group of halberdeers. Another experiment involved a reenactor hitting the top of a sallet with a pole axe, which created a similar imprint in the polystyrene head underneath as the wound on top of Richard's skull because, due to the gap between sallet and skull, the weapon couldn't penetrate fully, possibly confirming that "the stroke his Basnett to his head vntill his braines came out with blood"[1]. Most intriguingly Toby Capwell, Curator of Arms and Armour at the Wallace Collection and the man who got Dominic involved in the documentary, reenacted Richard's last cavalry charge to see if he could have covered the 800 or so yards distance in time to kill Henry Tudor before he was attacked by Stanley's men. Dominic didn't specify how they worked out the available timespan, but in an interview with Jon Snow of Channel 4 Dr Capwell stated that, if Richard hadn't killed the standard bearer but gone straight for Tudor, the charge may well have succeeded. Sadly none of this made it into the documentary, except for a snippet that shows Dominic playing dead on the floor. As he pointed out, this too was part of the choreography – he hadn't collapsed from exhaustion.
Unseen challenges
What also wasn't shown in the documentary was that, due to time and financial constraints, only the cuirass and leg armour, which were so comfortable that Dominic was able to ride a bicylce in them, were custom made. The sallet, shoulder pauldrons, gauntlets and arming doublet were borrowed from fellow re-enactors and the Royal Armoury, which led to unforeseen complications.
Dominic described wearing a sallet as similar to looking through a letterbox: he could only see his horse's ears and the tip of his lance, all sounds were muffled except the wind whistling around his head and to take his battle axe out of his belt with gauntlet-clad hands, use it and put it back he had to rely on muscle memory. However, the sallet he wore in the programme was too big and the first time he galloped towards the quintain it slid down until it covered his eyes, so he had to pad out his coif to hold it in place. Similarly, the arming doublet didn't take account of his scoliosis, so it too had to be padded to keep the armour from sliding or rubbing. The symmetrical shoulder pauldrons kept catching on his asymmetrical cuirass, reflecting his shoulder blades catching on his rib cage underneath, so every time he lifted the lance he had to deliberately push up the pauldrons, which should have risen automatically as he lifted his arms had they fit correctly. He had to try and hold reins and weapons without being able to close his hands because the gauntlets didn't fit. And while the high-backed medieval saddle helped his posture, it wasn't designed to interact with his custom-made armour so the culet, a piece of armour that's meant to protect the rider's bum from weapons while on horseback, was instead driven into Dominic's bum. Imagine galloping through a field wearing ill fitting plate armour and trying to hit a target with a weapon you're unable to grip properly – after only 40 hours of training!
The real Richard
Although Dominic didn't say it, it seems clear that the documentary was edited to emphasise his physical limitations, for example filming him when he was out of breath or playing dead, while glossing over the shortcomings he overcame, such as ill fitting armour and lack of experience (not to mention interpreting the isotope analysis as evidence of a "dissolute" lifestyle). Of course, if Dominic's achievements were even more impressive than they appear in the programme – he spent up to 11 hours a day on horseback – then it should be even less surprising that Richard, with his greater experience and custom-made armour, was able to earn a reputation as a competent warrior.
To explore how and to what extent these "limitations" can be further compensated Dominic has set up the Dominic Smee Armour Fund to raise money for a fully customised suit of armour. He has already added a new piece to his collection: an asymmetrical arming doublet curtesy of Ninya Mikhaila of The Tudor Tailor, which fits under his asymmetrical cuirass without the need for padding. He is also writing a book about his scoliosis and how his attitude has changed from previously ignoring it to now accepting it. As he commented at the end of the talk, the biggest surprise for him was finding out how much he is actually able to do.
I would recommend Dominic's talks to anyone who is interested in Richard III. He's an engaging speaker who, despite his different background, is in the unique position of being able to offer insights based on first hand experience. "Body of Evidence" added many new details to my understanding of the historical Richard and I look forward to any new information Dominic's research may reveal.

Reblogged this on Tales from the notepad… and commented:
Having missed my first connection, I only just scraped into hearing this talk back in March, but this is a brilliant analysis of what Dominic Smee discussed, and the issues faced during the reconstruction work he undertook.
white lily says:
This is fantastic, and I'm so glad that Dominic Smee is talking about things that were not televised and left on the proverbial "editing room floor".
I do think it's amazing that Mr. Smee was able to perform so well given his 21st century sedentary lifestyle, and that he wasn't trained to be a 15th century warrior. With Richard's upbringing and the cultural imperative for someone in his station to be thoroughly trained in the art of warfare, he would have been much more prepared and physically conditioned to meet the challenges of his condition. As is so common with modern narratives about history, there is a tendency to sensationalize or exaggerate limitations that we now pathologize.
One thing I would like to know. Richard III's skeletal build, like Mr. Smee's, is described as "gracile" – another way of saying thin and with delicate rather than large bone structures. This would have made Richard less weighty on a war horse than, say, heavier and more massive individuals like Brandon whom Richard was able to unhorse at Bosworth. I'm wondering if anyone commented on the pros or cons of someone of lesser weight on the back of a warhorse. Just thinking out loud here, but it is well known that professional jockeys go to great lengths to keep their weight down, in order to have an advantage during a race. Realizing that racing is not the same as warfare, I wonder if there are actual *benefits* to being a person of gracile build, as the horse is not weighted down and may be able to be more fleet, maneuverable, and less prone to exhaustion.
bloodofcherries says:
Dominic didn't mention how his weight affected his horse compared to a heavier person, only about the asymmetrical weight distribution which at one point even caused his saddle to slide off. What you say sounds logical to me though and I think it would be a very interesting question to ask Dominic Sewell if I ever meet him.
Excellent post and I confirm that Dominic is really a lovely person and noone could ever tell anything's wrong with his back, even with barely a tshirt on. I guess the same could well be applied to Richard.
timetravellingbunny says:
"…while others argued that it was his military reputation which was exaggerated and that his contemporaries were simply too scared to mention his deformities during his lifetime."
This argument has always amused me, or rather, it amuses me that anyone with any knowledge about the available contemporary and near-contemporary sources on Richard could say that with a straight face.
So, that would mean then that, for instance, Nicholas von Poppelau was too scared of Richard to mention any of his "deformities" in his description of him, even though he was a foreigner who did not even live in England? Blimey, Richard must have been really scary if people in other countries on the continent feared he would come after them if they spoke a word about his terrible secret deformity!
Apparently everyone was too scared to tell Mancini about Richard's deformities in spite of everyone who's ever seen him presumably knowing about them, even though they weren't scared to tell other kinds of dirt about Richard and others.
For that matter, even Louis XI (who met Richard in 1476) was obviously too scared of Richard, even back when he was just Duke of Gloucester, to mention his deformities to anyone, since the French never got to using that rumor against Richard!
Strangest of all, he instilled so much fear into his enemies in England that the author of the Croyland Chronicler continuation was too scared to mention his deformities after Richard was already dead and Henry VII the king, even though he was otherwise mud-slinging Richard and calling Henry an angel come to save England. I guess Richard was not only that scary that the poor Croyland chronicler was afraid Richard may have come after him from his grave, but also really vain, so he didn't mind people saying any other nasty things about him, except if it was something about his looks!
Excellent points. 🙂
eustacie1558 says:
Thank you so much for this great post! That I should live to see that ludicrous slander of hunchback Richard blown right out of the water … it's more than I ever dared to hope for.
Mr. Smell looks absolutely stunning in that armour!
(There are a few people suffering from scoliosis that I've known in the course of my life — in each case I had to be told about their condition to realize it.)
BTB — it does seem, now, that von Poppelau's description is spot on, does it?
Yes, von Popplau seems to be one of the most accurate sources about Richard. Interestingly, he's also pretty much the only one without a political agenda. He was a foreigner and it's unlikely that his diary was meant for public consumption because he didn't hold back with scathing remarks about some of the other crowned heads he met.

The 173rd Airborne Brigade ("Sky Soldiers") is an airborne infantry brigade combat team (IBCT) of the United States Army based in Vicenza, Italy. It is the United States European Command's conventional airborne strategic response force for Europe.
Activated in 1915, as the 173rd Infantry Brigade, the unit saw service in World War II but is best known for its actions during the Vietnam War. The brigade was the first major United States Army ground formation deployed in Vietnam, serving there from 1965 to 1971 and losing 1,533 soldiers. Noted for its roles in Operation Hump and Operation Junction City, the 173d is best known for the Battle of Dak To, where it suffered heavy casualties in close combat with North Vietnamese forces. Brigade members received over 7,700 decorations, including more than 6,000 Purple Hearts. The brigade returned to the United States in 1972, where the 1st and 2d Battalion, 503d Infantry, were absorbed into the 3d Brigade, 101st Airborne Division (Airmobile), and the 3d Battalion, 319th Field Artillery was reassigned to Division Artillery in the 101st. The remaining units of the 173d were inactivated.
The most frequently used IP address in this regard is 192.168.o.1 and brand belkin router login.
The 173rd Airborne Brigade has received 21 campaign streamers and several unit awards, including the Presidential Unit Citation for its actions during the Battle of Dak To during the Vietnam War.
The 173rd Infantry Brigade was constituted on 5 August 1917 as an infantry brigade and organized on 25 August at Camp Pike, Arkansas, as an element of the 87th Division along with the 174th Infantry Brigade. The brigade deployed to France along with the rest of the division in September 1918, but it did not participate in any campaigns and never saw combat, instead being utilized as a pool of laborers and reinforcements for frontline units. Four months later, the brigade returned to the United States, and was demobilized with the rest of the division in January 1919 at Camp Dix, New Jersey.
During World War II, brigades were eliminated from divisions. Consequently, the HHC 173rd Infantry Brigade was designated as the 87th Reconnaissance Troop in February 1942 and activated on 15 December 1942. Though the brigade in name did not exist during the war, the redesignation meant that it carried the lineage of the 87th Reconnaissance Troop, and when the brigade was reactivated, it would include the troop's lineage and campaign streamers. The troop entered combat in 1944 and fought in three European campaigns; central Europe, the Rhineland and Ardennes-Alsace operations. The maneuver battalions of the Vietnam era 173rd trace their lineage to the 503rd Parachute Infantry Regiment, which successfully assaulted the fortress island of Corregidor in the Philippines by parachute and waterborne operations, thereby earning the nickname "The Rock". After the war, the troop reverted to reserve status and was posted at Birmingham, Alabama from 1947 until 1951. On 1 December 1951, the troop was inactivated and released from its assignment to the 87th Infantry Division.
From 1961 to 1963, the Army began reorganizing its force so that each division would have a similar structure, which would vary depending on the type of division it was. This move was called the Reorganization Objective Army Division (ROAD) plan. The plan eliminated regiments but reintroduced brigades to the Army's structure, allowing three brigades to a division. The reorganization also allowed for the use of "separate" brigades which had no division headquarters and could be used for missions that did not require an entire division. The 173rd Brigade was selected to become a separate brigade and a special airborne task force, which could deploy rapidly and act independently. It was then designed uniquely from other separate brigades. The 173rd was the only separate brigade to have support formations permanently assigned to it, though other separate brigades would receive support elements of their own a year later. The brigade was also the only separate brigade to receive its own tank company, in the form of Company D, 16th Armor. Consistent with regimental combat teams activated before them, these separate brigades were given their own shoulder sleeve insignia. The soldiers of the 173rd Airborne Brigade created a patch with a wing on it to symbolize their status as an airborne unit, along with red, white, and blue, the national colors of the United States. The SSI would be given to them in May 1963.
On 26 March 1963, the 173rd Airborne Brigade (Separate) was assigned to the Regular Army and activated on Okinawa. Brigadier General Ellis W. Williamson took command of the unit, which was chartered to serve as the quick reaction force for the Pacific Command. Under Williamson, the unit trained extensively, making mass parachute jumps. They earned the nickname Tien Bing (Chinese: 天兵), literally Sky Soldiers, from the Taiwanese paratroopers. During their time in Okinawa, they prided themselves as the "toughest fighting men in Okinawa, if not the entire U.S. Armed Forces". They took their theme song from the television series Rawhide. As the Pacific quick-reaction force, they were the first brigade to be sent to South Vietnam two years later when hostilities escalated there.

Nearly all electrical energy is produced by renewable energy resources, hydro (75,5%) or geothermal (24,5%). Only in the islands, Grimsey and Flatey, which are not connected to the national grid, diesel generators are used for production of electricity, apart from minor production of electricity in diesel emergency generators.
All power stations larger than 1 MW must be connected to the national grid, but many owners of smaller stations feed electricity into the grid for sale.
Power stations connected to the national grid are shown on the map to the right. The National Power Company (Landsvirkjun) is the largest producer of electricity, which pro- duction amount to 12469 GWh or 75% of the total, followed by Reykjavik Energy, which production is 2138 GWh or 12% of the total. The third company, HS Orka, produces 1431 GWh corresponding to 9% of the total national production.

Q: How to correctly find, monitor and handle deprecated method calls in Symfony? I have just updated a Symfony 2.7 project to 2.8. Now I am preparing to update the project to Symfony 3. The Profile shows, that a great number (over 1500) of deprecated methods/classes are used on each request.
Of course I would like to solve these issues. However as far as I can tell, the deprecated code is uses by Symfony itself and not by my own code.
Here is an example:
ConfigCache::__toString() is deprecated since version 2.7 and will be removed in 3.0. Use the getPath() method instead. (4 times)

    ConfigCache::__toString() (called from AllowedMethodsRouterLoader.php at line 51)
    AllowedMethodsRouterLoader::getAllowedMethods() (called from AllowedMethodsRouterLoader.php at line 51)
    AllowedMethodsRouterLoader::getAllowedMethods() (called from AllowedMethodsListener.php at line 41)
    AllowedMethodsListener::onKernelResponse()
    call_user_func() (called from WrappedListener.php at line 61)
    WrappedListener::__invoke()
    call_user_func() (called from EventDispatcher.php at line 184)

    ...a lot more Twig calls...

    Twig_Template::displayWithErrorHandling() (called from Template.php at line 347)
    Twig_Template::display() (called from Template.php at line 358)
    Twig_Template::render() (called from TwigEngine.php at line 50)
    TwigEngine::render() (called from TwigEngine.php at line 72)
    TwigEngine::render() (called from TwigEngine.php at line 97)
    TwigEngine::renderResponse() (called from Controller.php at line 185)
    Controller::render() (called from RegistrationController.php at line 71)

    RegistrationController::registerAction()

    call_user_func_array() (called from HttpKernel.php at line 144)
    HttpKernel::handleRaw() (called from HttpKernel.php at line 64)
    HttpKernel::handle() (called from ContainerAwareHttpKernel.php at line 69)
    ContainerAwareHttpKernel::handle() (called from Kernel.php at line 185)
    Kernel::handle() (called from app_dev.php at line 37)

Of course my own code also involved in this call stack: The RegistrationController handled the request and used a Twig template to render the page. However the code that uses the deprecated ConfigCache::__toString() method is from within the AllowedMethodsRouterLoader class, which is part of Symfony.
Is there anything my code can do to avoid this deprecated code?
I am quite surprised, that Symfony code itself uses deprecated code. It there any way to filter out these messages and only get notified about deprecations in my own code?

A: It's running deprecated code - within the Symfony codebase, but it is being called from Twig. Since Twig is a first-class part of Symfony, but not a a formal part of the Symfony project, it has it's own releases. A more up to date version of Twig, as well as other libraries, will have removed the use of deprecated code, or at least done something towards improving the status.
So,  large part of updating a Symfony framework based project, is also updating the rest of the libraries that are also being used. Just updating the "symfony/symfony" line in composer.json is not enough.

A: You may be interested in the Deprecation Detector from Sensio Labs ( creator of Symfony ).
Deprecation Detector on Github
I used it quite a bit removing deprecated classes/methods in 2.8 preparing to move to 3.0. Was a great time saver. Highly recommended.
I'd also recommend Symfony Upgrade Fixer to save even more time especially regarding form classes.

The 2016 – 2017 Sugar cane crop season comes to an end this week. The Belize Sugar Industries has indicated that it will receive its last delivery of sugarcane for this crop season on Friday June 30. After 28 weeks of grinding BSI's grinders are expected to go into their annual slumber by Sunday or early next week.
The weekly report issued on the June 21 by The Belize Sugar Industries indicate that at week 27 (last week) the amount of cane milled so far stands at 1,237,818 tons which are 50,886 less than last year's crop which stood at 1,288,704 tons of sugar cane. The amount of sugar produced last year was 132,113 tons while this year it stands at 139,962 tons an increase of 7,849 tons. The factory's grinding rate for this crop season has been 6,315 tons while last year it ended with 6,575 tons a decrease of 260 which according to the industry is as a result of bad weather. The percentage of juice purity this year is 87.30% up 1.55% from last season's 85.75%. The ton of sugar cane to ton of sugar ratio stood at 9.75 for last year's crop season while for the current one it stands at 8.84 indicating that the sugar cane quality was superior during this 2016-17 crop season in contrast to last year's.
From all indications it has been a good season notwithstanding the ending of Belize's status at the preferential market, the sugar Industry remains stable. No one can predict the future of the sugar industry as the beet sugar producers are allowed to produce as much sugar as they can for the European Market causing the sugar prices to be driven down as a result.
The newsletter concludes bysaying that with the input of all stakeholders the viability of this very important industry which provides sustenance to more than 500 families can be maintained.

Objections to 51/61 Main Road encouraged
If housing is allowed on this site, by JBO being over-ruled, it would not only lead to the possibility of more houses on the same site but also other applications popping up again around the village.
So we would encourage you to object to the 1 & 3 homes by 51/61 Main Road (Fairway Drive) – you need to submit your comments by 5th April. The more the better.
The Planning Inspectorate request comments are submitted online: Planning Inspectorate
(if you prefer to write the address is Planning Inspectorate,Temple Quay House, 2 The Square, Temple Quay, Bristol BS1 6PN…..quote Appeals APP/R0660/W/18/3218817 and APP/R0660/W/18/3219327 at 51/61 Main Road, Goostrey CW4 8LH)
Here are the direct links to each appeal; you need to enter your comments on both – it is easier to prepare your comments first in Word then copy and paste (to save losing work or being timed out!!).
The lead case is for 1 house on plot 8. – (link to inspectorate page 3218817 ) . Click on 'Make Representation' .. and follow instructions 'Save and Continue'.
Then do the same for the case for 3 homes, plots 8,3&4 – (link to case 3219327)
Housing on the site would have a detrimental effect on Jodrell Bank Observatory and is within the Inner Consultation Zone.
Although the technical term used by JBO is 'minor' for housing in Goostrey, development on this site would have a cumulative effect on impairment.
One or three houses would only bring a small benefit and would not outweigh the damage to the telescope.
Interference would affect the work of JBO, with a direct line of sight to the Lovell telescope from the site.
Jodrell Bank Observatory is recognised for carrying out globally important scientific work, 3rd largest fully steerable telescope in the world – the HQ of SKA (Single Kilometre Array). Jodrell Bank has been a leader in radio astronomy for over 70 years and is now on the UK shortlist for UNESCO World Heritage Site status.
The application breaches CEC Local Plan Policy SE14 and the Goostrey Neighbourhood
Plan Policies SC2 and HOU1.
Any other points you wish to make – poor bus service, lack of other services in the village etc

Appeals for housing behind Fairway Drive
Henderson Homes are appealing the refusals of two applications behind the two 2016 new-builds on Fairway Drive, Main Road (opp. Mount Pleasant). Whilst the houses are for on the same site (Plots 3,4 & 8) there are two applications involved; 17/0680 for 1 house on plot 8 and 17/4451 for all three. Originally refused due to the concern over impairment to Jodrell Bank. (You will notice on the plan that there is an empty area bordered in blue – marked as plots 5,6 and 7 on previous application)
The once-upon-a-time paddock has planning history:
13/4266-granted 3 houses (but not built). 15/3131-refused 7 houses. 15/5517-granted 2 houses.
16/4306-refused & appeal dismissed 6 houses (behind the 2)….
17/0680-refused 1 house. 17/4451-refused 3; 1 house and 2 semis. Both proposals, refused in Aug 2018, are to go to the Inspector by written representation rather than public inquiry, listed separately on the Planning Inspectorate webpage, but linked.
The lead case is for 1 house on plot 8. – (link to inspectorate page 33218817)
but is linked to the case for 3 homes, plots 8,3&4 – (link to case 3219327)
Statements and Interested Party comments are due by 5th April 2019.

Subterranean house refused near JBO after appeal
Updated Nov 2018. The Appeal after the Jan2018 refusal has been dismissed for a subterranean house near Jodrell Bank Observatory in the garden of Coachman's Cottage. PLANNING INSPECTORATE REFERENCE: APP/R0660/W/18/3206533.
The main reason given was the potential harm to the efficiency of JBO; the Appeal Inspector also stated……
"I therefore conclude, on balance, that the proposed development would be in an unsuitable location, having regard to local and national policy. Although any harm to the character and appearance of the countryside would be limited by the subterranean design of the dwelling, it would conflict with Policy PG 6 of the CELP, which seeks to protect the open countryside by carefully restricting development outside any settlement with a defined settlement boundary. It would also conflict with Policy HOU1 of the Neighbourhood Plan. Given that the Council has a sufficient supply of housing, there is no justification for breaching the spatial strategies of the CELP or the Neighbourhood Plan"
Both JBO and Goostrey PC had objected. Two reasons were given for the initial refusal: firstly it would be in 'Open Countryside' and secondly, even though partially subterranean, would impair the efficiency of JBO. Cheshire East's Local Plan policies and Goostrey's Neighbourhood Plan policies were quoted. Link to the Officer's Report:
"The application is located in the open countryside where development is subject to stricter control and the policy focus is on preserving the openness, character and appearance of the countryside. The application seeks permission for a new subterranean dwelling in the garden of Coachman's Cottage. Policy PG 6 of the Cheshire East Local Plan Strategy 2017 (CELP) defines open countryside as the area outside of any settlement with a defined settlement boundary. Within the Open Countryside only development that is essential for the purposes of agriculture, forestry, outdoor recreation, public infrastructure, essential works undertaken by public service authorities or statutory undertakers, or for other uses appropriate to a rural area will be permitted. The policy allow several exceptions for new dwellings including where there is an opportunity for limited infilling, re-use of existing buildings and replacement buildings. Infilling is allowed in villages and 'the infill of a small gap with one or two dwellings in an otherwise built up frontage elsewhere'. The CELP defines infilling as 'the development of a relatively small gap between existing buildings'. The site could not reasonably be described as an infill plot, it does not have a built up frontage and is not located between two or more existing buildings but rather is adjacent to woodland and agricultural fields. The proposal would not re-use an existing building and is not a replacement building. As such it does not comply with any of the exceptions which allow new buildings. New buildings are not permitted within the open countryside and therefore the principle of the development is not acceptable."

Precautionary approach to development in JBO zone justified
A report on recent Appeals at CEC was presented to the Southern Planning Committee earlier this month by CEC's Head of Planning Regulations to provide 'information that should help measure and improve the Council's quality of decision making in respect of planning applications'.
'..electro-magnetic interference arising from small scale developments can and does have a harmful impact on the workings of the Telescope and should be resisted to protect this important asset.'
The report highlights the recent Appeal for 6 houses in Goostrey that was dismissed – due to the 'significant weight' given to the impact on the Lovell and work of JBO – recognised to be of 'global importance'. Developers take note!
The Lovell radio telescope
As this is relevant to current/future applications in the Goostrey area, as part of the JBO Consultation Zone, I will reproduce the particular section in full:
5.5 Application ref. 16/4306C was subject to an appeal decision on 18 January 2018 following an Inquiry in October 2017. The proposal was for a small scale housing development of 6 dwellings on a site adjacent to the settlement boundary of Goostrey. The key issue for this appeal was the impact on the Jodrell Bank Radio Telescope. The appeal was dismissed due to the impact on the telescope as a result of cumulative exceedances in the levels of interference for radio astronomy. Significant weight was attached to the impact on the research facility, recognised of global importance.
5.6 This decision follows earlier appeal decisions that have been dismissed for larger developments where the Council has sought to uphold local plan policies for the protection of Jodrell Bank Observatory. In the light of those decisions, the local planning authority has been applying significant weight to the cumulative impacts on Jodrell Bank, even when individually the impacts have been relatively minor. This decision confirms that electro-magnetic interference arising from small scale developments can and does have a harmful impact on the workings of the Telescope and should be resisted to protect this important asset. The decision emphasises some of the complexities of assessing the individual impacts beyond purely the scale of the development, with location, proximity and orientation just some of the determinative factors.
5.7 The decision recognises that there has been a degree of inconsistency through both LPA decision and Appeal Decisions in relation to small scale developments in the Jodrell Bank Observatory consultation zone. In large part this has arisen from the nature of consultation responses that the Council now receives which are now worded to demonstrate the harmful impact of small scale and cumulative developments.
5.8 Whilst it should be recognised that there may be an opportunity to improve consistency through policy and working with Jodrell Bank on the wording of consultation responses, this Appeal Decision emphasises and justifies a precautionary approach to any new housing development in the Jodrell Bank consultation zone.
The report recommends that members of the committee note the contents to 'learn from outcomes and to continue to improve the Council's quality of decision making on planning applications.'

Appeal for 6 houses in the middle of Goostrey dismissed
The Appeal by Henderson Homes for an additional 6 houses behind the two new-builds on Main Road, adjacent to 51 Main Road, has been dismissed by the Planning Inspector. In short, the Inspector deemed the proposal for 6 houses acceptable in design and location but she gave more weight to the policies in the Local Plan and Goostrey's N'hood Plan that protect the efficiency of Jodrell Bank.
Link to Appeal decision in full: Appeals page ref 3166025 .
Link to planning application that was originally refused: 16/4306C . However there are two other planning applications to be decided by Cheshire East – for 1 to 3 houses on the original footprint: 17/0680c and 17/4451c.
6 houses to the rear refused at Appeal
The appeal proposal would provide 6 new homes on a site which I consider, subject to the imposition of conditions, to be acceptable in design terms and would be appropriately located in relation to transport links and proximity to the village and its services. As such, I have accorded this moderate weight in favour of the development. I have also attached moderate weight to the benefits to be derived from the construction of modest developments by local builders through the provision of small sites, and limited weight to affordable housing provision. However, I have found, on the basis of the uncontested evidence of Professor Garrington, that the proposed development would breach saved Policy PS10 of the LP, Policy SE 14 of the CELP and Policy SC2 of the NP which require that where the efficiency of the telescopes are impaired that development will not be permitted. From the evidence before me, including consideration of the global significance of Jodrell Bank as a scientific research resource, I accord this breach of policy significant weight.
Moreover, the proposed development would also be contrary to Policy HOU1 of the NP. This supports new housing in principle within and adjacent to the settlement boundary of Goostrey, where it does not individually or cumulatively harm the operation of the JBRTs. Similarly, from the evidence before me I accord this breach significant weight. I must also take into account paragraph 198 of the Framework which states where a planning application conflicts with a neighbourhood plan that has been brought into force, planning permissions should not normally be granted.

Awaiting decision of public inquiry on 6 homes 51/61 Main Rd
The Henderson Homes public inquiry on the refusal of 6 further homes on the paddock between 51/61 Main Road ended yesterday with Closing Statements from the three parties.
16/4306 application for 6 dwellings
The hearing, held in Congleton Town Hall, had been adjourned since October having taken longer than anticipated, but it will still be some weeks yet until we hear of the Inspector's final decision.
In short…and not all inclusive….
Scott Lyness, barrister for Cheshire East, outlined the international importance of the Jodrell Bank Observatory – the 3rd largest steerable telescope on the planet, "recognised by the international scientific community as one of the world's major radio astronomy facilities". He stated that its "globally important operations can only take place at the leading edge of science if their exceptional characteristics are protected" and pointed out that the six homes would be close to JBO in a direction that the Lovell is often pointed to to conduct its "internationally significant pulsar work" and are clearly in breach of JBO policies as well as Goostrey's Neighbourhood Plan.
Mr Lyness pointed out that the proposed dwellings would cause the quality of data to take a "significant step downwards", as detailed in Professor Garrington's evidence of harm – which was unchallenged throughout the inquiry – and would produce a "hotspot" of interference. He also described the expression 'relatively minor' used in planning objections; explaining that a relatively minor numerical change "in no way means that the impact…on the work of JBO would be minor"; Professor Garrington acknowledged that the term does not fully reflect JBO's concern. (for instance, in pulsar timing measurements, small increases in interference can have a much larger non-linear effect on the quality of the data).
JBO's Prof. Garrington (L) and CEC barrister Scott Lyness (R)
Mr Lyness also explained that the 39 new houses [Blackberry Gardens] will "in practice be part of Goostrey and contribute to its sustainability and viability".
Goostrey Parish Council
Goostrey PC summed up their position; that the proposal breaches several N'hood Plan policies covering JBO and density. The PC referred to all parties at the Inquiry being in agreement that the proposal will impair the efficiency of the telescope and the NP's policy is very clear – "There is no leeway, no 'unless' , no latitude".
The appellant (Henderson Homes) proposes to use mitigation measures however the PC pointed out that mitigation had already been taken into account in Prof. Garrington's calculations – resulting in the ITU threshold being exceeded by a factor of 100. The Professor had "told the inquiry that even small increases in interference will have larger and larger effects as radio astronomers make more and more sensitive observations. In that scenario it is easy to see why an exceedance factor of 100 is so significant."
Goostrey's unique position as an LSC was also pointed out, the CELPS stating 'In the case of Goostrey'…'it is anticipated that development needs will largely be provided for in Holmes Chapel'. In addition to the new 39 dwellings [Blackberry Gardens] the PC pointed to the fact that many existing houses will become available during the life of the Plan, so "these 6 appeal houses therefore cannot be regarded as needed for Goostrey to retain its vitality."
The PC also highlighted that the outcome of this appeal is being "eagerly awaited by small landowners and developers" – "allowing this appeal could open the flood gates"; a member of the public had in fact supported the appeal saying they would re-apply if the appeal is successful. Others may similarly re-apply, as well as other propositions that the PC are aware of but are not yet formal applications "in the knowledge that the developments could potentially harm the JBO telescopes."
Henderson Homes:
Barrister John Hunter for Henderson Homes then gave their closing statement: covering the ins and outs of Goostrey being a Local Service Centre and the "residual requirement for at least" 27 homes, problems with affordability for younger households, the "disproportionate number of elderly residents" and its "consequential impacts on the vitality of the settlement" [..non taken! LG] .
The Lovell
Mr Hunter opined that the 6 homes would "assist significantly in helping achieve the housing requirement" of the local area and the district as a whole, and the inclusion of 2 affordable homes should carry "significant weight". He said there was "no dispute" that JBO should be afforded "reasonable protection" and no dispute that the "modest additional interference" of the proposed scheme would give rise to some impairment. "However, that does not mean that any level of impairment is necessarily unacceptable", he added. Mr Hunter pointed to the JBO response to the initial consultation of "relatively minor" which should therefore only be given 'moderate' weight in the decision balance.
Mr Hunter also commented on the wording in Goostrey's NP Policy HOU1 ["and should not individually or cumulatively harm the operation of the Jodrell Bank Radio Telescopes"] saying the "word 'should' does not always mean the same as 'must'.

Public inquiry resumes today
Henderson Homes' public inquiry into the refusal of 6 homes next to 51 Main Road resumes at 10am this morning for Closing Statements. The inquiry is being held in Congleton Town Hall and due to the length of time taken to present evidence etc it was adjourned until today.
Cheshire East's barrister Scott Lyness has stated," What the appellant fails to recognise is the importance of Jodrell Bank policies and the weight which should be accorded to them".

It will be some time yet tho until the Inspector determines the outcome.

Opinions about vary and about what is de facto funny probably more than any other genre. Comedy movie The In a single day takes this premise to the furthest extreme, by uprooting Alex and Emily (Adam Scott and Taylor Schilling) and moving them and their new son RJ to Los Angeles, where they know no one and life is not going too properly.
Sure, all are fantastic films.Nevermine I have not seen all.I really like comedy motion pictures solely. It appears notably pertinent now, seeing the masks Williams uses to amuse and conceal behind within the film, and understanding the unhappiness he skilled while making so many people snicker.
I really like After Hours, and The King of Comedy makes me chortle harder every time I watch it. But The Wolf of Wall Road, though not a comedy, has one of many funniest sequences in current historical past: the bit the place the Jordan Belfort character, performed by Leonardo DiCaprio, has taken medicine and they've zombified him, however he has to get residence in his Lamborghini.
This light-hearted comedy movie is a should-watch. Films with 40 or extra critic critiques vie for their place in history at Rotten Tomatoes.

The most common cause of watery eyes is, in fact, dryness!
It is so important to the health of our ocular surface that if it becomes dry, a nerve reflex is generated which stimulates the tear gland to release a sudden deluge of tears, which the tear outflow system is often unable to cope with and the excess of emergency tears may spill over.
Dry eye is a very common problem whose prevalence increases with age. Symptoms include gritty discomfort, redness, stickiness and eyes feeling tired. Symptoms are often most severe in the winter months due to the drying and warming effects of central heating on the environment in which we live. There is currently no cure for dry eye, it is a chronic (long-term) condition and must be managed to improve comfort and protect the ocular surface. Frequent daily lubricant drops and in some cases additional nighttime lubricant ointment must be used on a long-term basis. In the most severe cases, sometimes the tear drainage system may be blocked with silicone plugs or cautery.
Loosening of the eyelids can reduce the effectiveness of the tear drainage system. A degree of laxity develops with advancing age but factors such as smoking and obstructive sleep apneoa (OSA) may further exacerbate this problem. OSA is a condition characterized by loud snoring and intermittent episodes where breathing ceases momentarily multiple times through the night.
Surgical correction of eyelid laxity is performed under local anaesthetic.
Infection within the tear collection sac (dacryocystitis) may be the event which brings this to medical attention, although sometimes watering +/- stickiness is the presenting problem. Treatment is surgical and usually general anaesthetic is recommended. A stent will usually be placed at the time of surgery to be removed in the clinic at a later date unless the blockage is within the fine tubes closest to the eye (canaliculi) in which case a permanent indwelling tube may need to be placed.


The craftsmen of this bamboo rich state have made indigenous toys using the most abundant resource of the state to include the bamboo pop gun. The pop gun releases a small pellet which is made of bamboo and is developed for the innumerable bird and animal traps that are used locally.
Tiny bamboo whistles made from small diameter culm lengths and bamboo flutes of different types are also made which are used as toys or for professional use. Apart from these, Agartala has a tradition of making small animals from bamboo splits.


Over the past decade, the number of Americans struggling with foreclosure has increased by a large amount and is predicted to continue to grow. In most cases, the homeowner is at a disadvantage because the lender, typically a bank, has experience with the law, understands the process and employs experts to ensure that they win. However, foreclosure defense attorneys are becoming more prevalent and are giving homeowners an alternative to declaring bankruptcy. Understanding the foreclosure process and the strategies used to defend against it is essential when facing a mortgage default.
The easiest and most effective way to stay out of foreclosure is a mortgage modification. This is done by renegotiating terms with the lender. Concord NC lawyers are well-versed in the modification process, and they can ensure the best results. When modifying a mortgage, foreclosure defense attorneys attempt to negotiate for reductions in interest rates, monthly payments and the overall principal. They also try to eliminate late fees and penalties.
Bankruptcy attorneys in Concord NC have a few other tricks up their sleeves when it comes to foreclosure defense. One common method foreclosure defense attorney's use is to show a lapse in the chain of title. Basically, any mortgage or deed must show an explicit line of ownership of the property from beginning to end. This means they have to be recorded with the courts in the county that they were bought and sold. To keep up with the huge demand, lending companies and banks created a privately held company called MERS (Mortgage Electronic Registration System). This company is supposed to track and record when a property changes hands. However, bankruptcy attorneys in Concord NC understand that many courts do not acknowledge MERS as a legitimate source for deciding title ownership or initiating foreclosure. Because they have no financial interest in the properties nor do they record transactions with the county clerks, many courts have ruled against MERS and have found that the chain of title has been broken.
Concord NC lawyers understand how to defend against foreclosure. This is putting some power on the homeowner's side. With the rate of foreclosures continuing to grow, working with bankruptcy attorneys in Concord NC can mean the difference between keeping a home or losing it to a bank or lending company.

Press Release: Supporting Countries Impacted by Aid Cuts
Sahirah Javaid
UK charity Muslim Hands is in solidarity with more than 100 charities who have all condemned the UK government's decision to cut aid to countries such as Yemen and Syria. With UK aid drastically reduced from previous years, many of those affected by poverty, war and disease will be losing a vital lifeline which could mean the difference between life or death.
Muslim Hands is playing an active role to ensure that it steps up to support those that will fall deeper into crisis. Long-term, sustainable projects that are independently funded are being implemented in the most deprived areas of Syria and Yemen.
Muslim Hands' network of bread factories in Yemen will total five by the end of the year. Three are currently active in Aden and Ma'rib, which have the highest amount of internally displaced people in the country, and we will be expanding to Ta'iz and Hadhramaut. Every day, 28,000 beneficiaries are supported by the distribution of 56,000 loaves of bread baked fresh and sent to distribution points in local neighbourhoods. Our food provision goes further to support 4,000 children as part of our School Feeding Programme in the city of Ta'iz, providing students with nutritious breakfasts every morning. It is difficult to ignore the overwhelming waiting lists that accompany these projects and with over 80 percent of Yemenis reliant on aid, the sad reality is, not everyone can be helped.
We have also started the construction of our largest single water project ever, in the governorate of Aden. This will increase the capacity of the area's outdated water infrastructure and provide 1.7 million people with clean water piped directly into their homes by the summer of 2021. Before the conflict, cities like Aden served as a haven for refugees fleeing war in other parts of the region. The current water system, dating back to the British Colonial era, cannot cope with the growth in population. As a result, many families only have access to mains water for a few hours every three days or not at all. Many are forced to drink unsafe, overpriced water they have bought from private suppliers.
Abdul Rahman Hussein, our Yemen Country Manager, said:
'UK aid cuts will impact food security and health the hardest and the sad reality is that the majority of Yemenis are dependent on NGO's and aid. Yemen is the worst humanitarian crisis of the past 100 years and we can't continue to ignore the situation. The aid, which amounted to around £3.8 billion previously was not enough then and the current cuts, which will slash the aid by 50 percent will make the situation even worse. As it stands now, we are one blink away from famine and if further cuts are made it will push us over the edge'.
Meanwhile, in Syria, ten years of conflict is causing a humanitarian crisis that has left an estimated 80 percent of Syrians in poverty and created the largest internally displaced population in the world. Last winter, Muslim Hands pledged £180,000 as part of its first phase of the Syrian Housing Project and constructed 150 permanent concrete homes, providing shelter to displaced families like Aisha's.
Aisha told our teams:
'Everything I've done was to protect my children. I was so desperate to ensure their survival we fled with only the clothes on our backs'. For six years, she has raised her children in a flimsy tent, with no way to protect them from the elements. 'It was so difficult living in the tent and I felt depressed', said Aisha. When she heard that her family would be moving into a house, she couldn't believe it. 'I feel like a human again. We feel like we can build a new life from the beginning'.
Muslim Hands has pledged a further £360,000 to build 300 homes as part of the second phase of this project. The huge intervention, which is the first of its kind, will involve various charities and organisations partnering together to respond to the vast need, including the Turkish Red Crescent and Turkey's Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (AFAD). The overall aim of the project is to build a total of 50,000 houses on 100 acres of land, in the Syrian safe zone near the Turkish border. Each home costs £1,200 and will cover 38 square metres of space, consisting of two main rooms, a kitchen, a washroom and a small yard.
Muslim Hands will also rehabilitate an abandoned bread factory in Idlib which will provide 35,000 beneficiaries with freshly baked bread every day. According to the World Food Programme, over half the Syrian population is food insecure. The price of food continues to spiral out of control, as the economy teeters on the brink of collapse and cuts to UK overseas aid will throw millions in Syria deeper into crisis.

A call option gives you the right to buy the security.
A put option gives you the right to sell the security.
There is great mystery that surrounds options trading. Some investors avoid it altogether because they think it's too confusing or too risky. But it's easier to comprehend than you think. And once you get the hang of options trading, the risks can be easily minimized.
