Real Madrid's decision to appoint Zinedine Zidane as their new manager has been labelled "demented" by former Bayern Munich boss Ottmar Hitzfeld.
The Spanish giants sacked Rafa Benitez after just seven months in charge and replaced him with France legend Zidane, who has no prior experience managing a senior side.
Zidane was Carlo Ancelotti's assistant manager for a season and has spent time in charge of Real Madrid Castilla, but that's as far as his experience extends.
And Hitzfeld is staggered by the club's decision to hand the reigns over to a man so poorly qualified. He said, "It's a demented decision, insane. He's a manager with zero experience, living off his fame as a player." Hitzfeld added that Zidane "has not done anything as a coach and now has to manage the biggest players in the world".

Section 433.16.2r5
433.16.2R5. In the circumstances set out in the second paragraph, the positive amount determined by the following formula is a prescribed amount for a reporting period in a particular fiscal year, in respect of a taxation year, of a selected listed financial institution in respect of a particular series in the case of a stratified investment plan, or in respect of the investment plan in any other case:
50% × [(G1 − G2) / G3 × G4] × G5× G6 × (G7 / G8).
The circumstances to which the first paragraph refers are as follows:
(1) an amount, other than an amount paid in a remote location, is an expense incurred by the financial institution to earn income from a business or property in a taxation year — in this section referred to as the "composite amount" — and that, as the case may be,
(a) becomes due from the financial institution or is an amount paid by the financial institution without having become due in respect of the supply of property or a service made to the financial institution; or
(b) is paid by the financial institution as an allowance or reimbursement in respect of which the financial institution is deemed under section 174 or 175 of the Excise Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. E-15) to have received a supply of property or a service;
(2) section 421.1 of the Taxation Act (chapter I-3) applies, or would apply if the financial institution were a taxpayer under that Act, to all of the composite amount or that part of it that is, for the purposes of that Act, an amount paid or payable in respect of the human consumption of food or beverages or the enjoyment of entertainment and section 421.1 of that Act deems the composite amount or that part to be 50% of a particular amount;
(3) the particular amount exceeds twice that of the amount determined under section 175.6.1 of the Taxation Act that is deductible in computing the financial institution's income for the taxation year from the business or property, or that would be so deductible if the financial institution were a taxpayer under that Act; and
(4) an amount of tax included in the composite amount and having become payable under Part IX of the Excise Tax Act or deemed under section 174 or 175 of that Act to have been paid by the financial institution is included in determining the input tax credit tax claimed by the financial institution in the return under Division V of Part IX of that Act filed by the financial institution for the particular reporting period.
For the purposes of the formula in the first paragraph,
(1) G1 is the particular amount referred to in subparagraph 2 of the second paragraph;
(2) G2 is twice the amount determined under section 175.6.1 of the Taxation Act that is deductible in computing the financial institution's income for the taxation year from the business or property, or that would be so deductible if the financial institution were a taxpayer under that Act;
(3) G3 is the composite amount;
(4) G4 is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount in respect of an input tax credit taken into account in determining the amount under subparagraph 1 of the second paragraph of section 433.16.2 of the Act in respect of the particular series or the investment plan, as the case may be, for the particular reporting period, in respect of the composite amount;
(5) G5 is,
(a) where the particular fiscal year begins before 1 January 2020 and the financial institution is a large business,
i. if the particular fiscal year ends before 1 January 2018, zero; and
ii. in any other case, the quotient obtained when the aggregate of all amounts, each of which is the rate referred to in the fourth paragraph applicable on a particular day in the particular reporting period, is divided by the number of days in the particular reporting period; and
(b) in any other case, 1;
(6) G6 is the specified percentage of the financial institution as regards Québec for the particular reporting period within the meaning of section 433.16R7;
(7) G7 is the tax rate specified in the first paragraph of section 16 of the Act; and
(8) G8 is the tax rate specified in subsection 1 of section 165 of the Excise Tax Act.
The rate referred to in subparagraph ii of subparagraph a of subparagraph 5 of the third paragraph applicable on a particular day is,
(1) if the particular day is before 1 January 2018, 0%;
(2) if the particular day is after 31 December 2017 but before 1 January 2019, 25%;
(4) if the particular day is after 31 December 2019 but before 1 January 2021, 75%; and
(5) if the particular day is after 31 December 2020, 100%.
In this section, "amount paid in a remote location", "business", "property" and "taxation year" have the meaning assigned by section 457.1.3 of the Act.
This section does not apply for the purposes of subdivision 8 of Division III of Chapter VIII of Title I of the Act or paragraph 1 of section 470.1 of the Act.
320-2017O.C. 320-2017, s. 41.

Senna (Trailer)
Senna's remarkable story, charting his physical and spiritual achievements on the track and off, his quest for perfection, and the mythical status he has since attained, is the subject of SENNA, a documentary feature that spans the racing legend's years as an F1 driver, from his opening season in 1984 to his untimely death a decade later. Far more than a film for F1 fans, SENNA unfolds a remarkable story in a remarkable manner, eschewing many standard documentary techniques in favor of a more cinematic approach that makes full use of astounding footage, much of which is drawn from F1 archives and previously unseen.

Did You Know The 'Steel Magnolias' House Is Now A Bed and Breakfast?!
This is not a drill! I repeat this is not a drill! The Steel Magnolias House is available for you to rent out! Yes, Steel Magnolias fans are able to experience the magic of the beloved Southern classic film first hand and take a trip down Natchitoches, Louisiana. The 80's drama and comedy, or dramedy (see what I did there?), is a film adaptation of Robert Harling's play written in 1987. The storyline follows a group of woman, coping with the death of one of their own. Staring in the film are well-known actresses, Dolly Parton, Julia Roberts, Sally Fields, Shirley MacLaine, and Daryl Hanna.
In 2003, the beautiful brick home was converted into a Bed & Breakfast, named The Steel Magnolia House. So original, so creative. More than 30 years after the release of the film, fans can visit the 'set' and live out their Hollywood dream. The house includes everything from a front parlor, main dining area, kitchen dining room, sitting area, patio, and a pool and a pavilion.
The four-story home was restored in the early 1940s, including the cellar, attic, and modernized to fit the needs of the family at that time. But, the interior and exterior of the home located on Jefferson Street have remained the same through the year. The best part of the home? Guest can stay in six different suits, each named after the characters from the film!
For example, the Shelby Room, who is a fan favorite, screams out Shelby's signature pink lifestyle. The Shelby, portrayed by Julia Roberts, features a private bath, which is the same tub that is shown in the opening scene. The other rooms are also named by movie characters, Clairee, Ouiser, Jackson, Shipley, and Annelle.
Of course, the house couldn't be completed without some antique and Steel Magnolias memorabilia, such as costume sketches and behind the scene photos throughout the home. After all, the 5,900 square foot home-built in 1841 hasn't changed much since its role in the movie.
The house features a beautiful Southern front porch, with a row of wooden rocking chairs, and live oak trees scattered around the property. Inside the home, one can see the original wood floors still intact, the exquisite crystal chandeliers and gas-lit fireplaces with marble mantels.
What do you say, are you up for it? The Bed & Breakfast offers the traditional bed a breakfast experience and true Southern hospitality for a total of $200 per room per night. Prices do go up during the holiday seasons, especially at Christmas so you might want to reserve your spots a few months before. Ready to book? You can visit the booking website, or call 318-238-2585.

The choice for the new VC of Jadavpur University, Kolkata has been a part of recent discussions. After the movement Hokkolorob, leading to the removal of Abhijit Chakraborty the university has functioned without an acting Vice Chancellor. Recent news confirms that Suranjan Das is to take over this position.
However, Saranjan Das is presently the Vice Chancellor of Calcutta University as well. Thus, the electing of same VC for two autonomous institutions have created massive discontent. Governor Keshari Nath Tripathi also the JU Chancellor, signed in favour of this decision previously this week.
The search panel chooses Suranjan Das over Swapan Bhattacharyya, director of National Institute of Technology among others as his administrative capabilities in one of the state's prestigious educational institutes has already run the test of time. Thus, the search panel finally voted his name for the post.
However, it leads to certain obvious questions regarding compromising of the autonomous status of the institution. Different autonomous institutions are bound to have different characters of their own, their own educational system and their very own environment for teaching. Would this lead to a homogenization? Would it work for the institution? As of now the answers are yet to be found.

Q: React this is undefined when using setState Hey guys trying react out and having an issue when using setState, I keep getting Cannot read property setState of undefined error and I'm not sure how to fix it. I've tried using bind in the constructor but that still doesn't fix the issue.
Thanks for your input.
import React from 'react';

class Products extends React.Component {
 constructor(props) {
 super(props)
 this.state = {products:{}}
 this.getItems = this.getItems.bind(this)
}

componentDidMount() {
  this.getItems('http://lcboapi.com/products/300681').then(function(response){
  console.log(response);
  this.setState({products:response});
},function(error){
  console.log('failed',error);
});
}
componentWillMount() {

}

getItems(url){

return new Promise(function (resolve,reject) {
  var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
  req.open('GET',url);
  req.setRequestHeader('Authorization','Token Token');

  req.onload = function(){
    if(req.status == 200){
      resolve(req.response);
    }else{
      reject(Error(req.statusText));
    }
  };

  req.onerror = function(){
    reject(Error("Error"));
  };

  req.send();

});

}

render() {
return (
 <div>
  hi
 </div>
);
 }
}
export default Products;

A: In order to make this refer to the component you can .bind(this) the function
function(response) {
  console.log(response);
  this.setState({products:response});
}.bind(this)

If you can use ES6 then you can also use an arrow function where this is automatically bound:
(response) => {
  console.log(response);
  this.setState({products:response});
}


We developed Amanda's original visual identity in 2013 and since then her brand elements have become more simplified and elegant – it soon became evident that her website needed to evolve to fit that mood and more importantly, to keep up with modern web standards and user expectations. After hours upon hours of design and development last year, we're so proud to show off this massive new, responsive website design we recently launched for the iconic Amanda Holloway, award-winning senior portrait photographer.
Her jewel of a site is jammed packed with subtle animations, gorgeous typography and of course, amazing photography. Inspired by Amanda's fashion-foward approach and editorial shooting style, we took our design cues from the pages of Vogue and Elle.
The scrolling homepage is sectioned off to call attention to the most important aspects of Amanda's business. While the homepage is dedicated to grabbing the attention of her senior girls, the photographers page is dedicated to educating and inspiring fellow friends and photogs.
This responsive site also includes an e-commerce shop where Amanda sells business and marketing tools that help photographers around the world grow their business and brand.

Sloane Crosley's Kinetic Intelligence
The Look Alive Out There Author on Egg-Freezing, Porny Uncles, and Queen Joan Didion
by Donovan Farley
Author photo by Ungano + Agriodimas
When I speak with Sloane Crosley over the phone on the release date of her excellent new collection of essays Look Alive Out There, it's abundantly clear we're going to get along. That's partly because we're both the type of writers who don't utter the words "Joan Didion" without prefacing them with "Queen," but also because Crosley speaks in much of the same fashion that she writes: with kinetic intelligence and a charmingly self-deprecating sense of humor that both flow effortlessly. Crosley's talent for oscillating from laugh-out-loud humor to stunning life realizations—sometimes in the space of a single page—will be on full display when she's joined by newly minted Portlander Chuck Klosterman on Thursday, April 19 at Literary Arts for a chat about Look Alive Out There.
In Alive, Crosley riffs with equal aplomb on everything from Ecuadorian mountaineering to the time her website domain was held hostage, imbuing each with humor and relatable self-examination. Any experience is fair game, including her lifelong infatuation with the West Coast, which she examines here in a story about hanging out with swingers in Northern California. "I've definitely been tempted and love it there, the pull of the West is so strong," says Crosley when I ask if she's ever been tempted to relocate from NYC à la Queen Joan. "I'm in sort of a blissed-out daze when I'm there, it feels like a voluntary concussion—but, you know, a pleasant one."
The essays in Alive range in length from a few paragraphs to much longer selections, like the epic "The Doctor Is a Woman." Ostensibly about Crosley freezing her eggs, it also covers aging, feminism, sexism, and the healthcare industry. "I think I just know," Crosley says when I ask how she picks her topics and lengths. "You sort of have a sense how much is going on in the essay and what its wingspan is in a sense, like with 'Woman.' There was a lot to cover: societal pressure, womanhood, other people's perceptions of these topics; so I knew I was going to have to roll up my sleeves."
Another of Crosley's strengths lies in her uncanny ability to find a moving story in unexpected places, as exemplified in "Relative Stranger." Under Crosley's direction, what in lesser hands would be a humorous tale about her uncle's former career in porn is instead a stirring "be here now" rumination on the devastating effects of making unhealthy choices in our romantic lives. Crosley's success often lies in her ability to trust her instincts on the trail of a good story—whether it takes the form of the deceptively touching interview with her "stunt cock" uncle or confused interactions with strangers at Rite Aid, Crosley is able to mine literary gold from the seemingly mundane and arbitrary. "If you think of David Sedaris, Hugh [Sedaris' longtime partner] is a common denominator in his essays. I don't have a Hugh, so strangers are my Hugh," Crosley tells me before adding with a laugh, "That didn't sound too depressing, did it?"

Water quality monitoring measures potential contaminants that fall into three categories: chemical and nutrient. and bacterial. A overly simplistic way to think of it is that chemical contaminants come from factories, nutrient contaminants come from farms and bacterial contamination comes from untreated sewage.
PCBs are man-made chemicals that were used in electrical equipment like capacitors and transformers. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are oily liquids or solids, clear to yellow in color, with no smell or taste. The good news is that we don't make them and pollute our water with them anymore. That means that the other good news is that the level of PCBs is going down in the Delaware Bay. The bad news is that they are everywhere in the environment, last a long time, and are almost indestructable. PCBs are stable and remain in the environment at low levels for many decades,. However, the chemical is found to concentrate inside fish tissue, especially the fatty portion.
Both New Jersey and Delaware issue advisories limiting the recommended amount of fish that should be eaten.
The primary nutrient pollutant is nitrogen. Over abundance of nitrogen leads to low levels of water oxygen and fish kills. Nitrogen comes from fertilizer and farm runoff. When we discuss "water pollution" in the Delaware Bay, the discussion is focused on nutrients.
Several strains of potentially dangerous bacteria live in the Delaware Bay and they reach potentially harmful levels in summer. The bacteria we hear most about is E. coli from untreated bird, human or animal feces. Birds are the primary contributor of E. coli in the Delaware Bay occasionally after a storm or flood the source is identified as human. In these cases shellfish harvesting is temporarily halted. Our bay water at Money Island is tested regularly for E. coli and no problems lately. Other types of bacteria can cause infection of open wounds. It is important to clean and disinfect skin abrasions when working in or around the bay, especially in summer.
Overall our water quality compares well to surrounding waterways and is gradually improving.
This was filmed at what is now planned as the aquaculture center with the marina in the background. Matt, Tommy and Tristan each had their own boats as soon as they were old enough to operate one. They managed to survive to adulthood.
How can I invest in Delaware Bay fisheries?
There are several ways to invest in aquaculture and fisheries. We used private investors in the past including a locally crowdfunded financing of a watermen under a split-catch arrangement. We are now exploring a wider range of options including recruiting additional private investment.
Potentially one of the easiest ways would be through a crowdfunded securities offering. The Securities and Exchange Commission sets limits on how and how much an investor can invest in crowdfunded offerings. Nantuxent Seafood is not involved in a crowdfunded securities offering but may consider this option in the future.
This blog post is written as part of the ongoing exploration of new sources of funding for growth. This is not an investment offering. The method of financial expansion eventually selected must consider the needs of our customers relative to their financial interest in our seafood. We must also consider the overall reinvestment plan for the marina and the working waterfront community.
For more information, see the SEC website.
Money Island New Jersey is the primary oyster landing port for Delaware Bay oysters. Nantuxent Seafood is not in the oyster business but we have working relationships with other oyster growers, harvesters and dealers. The local oyster industry is estimated to add $26 million annually to the local economy.
Blue claw crabs (Callinectes sapidus) provide the largest source of revenue for Nantuxent Seafood. The Latin name means "savory beautiful swimmer". They are caught year round in the Delaware Bay but the traditional commercial harvest that incorporates the soft shell crab shedding season runs from March to October.
We plan to continue to expand to larger volumes of crab sales each successive season. We sell six different crab products (three food products and three bait products) and have several more in development stage. Our goals are: 1) to provide a stable market for the crabs of local harvesters, 2) raise the income of crab harvesters, 3) provide seasonal employment for local workers, 4) provide a safer and higher quality food products to consumers. 5) provide bait to local recreational fishermen, 6) provide restaurants with a reliable source of local crabs.
Yesterday I attended the annual alumni homecoming event for my alma mater Delaware Valley University in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. I am biased of course but I think DelVal is the ultimate stronghold of agricultural entrepreneurship in this part of the country. Many of the region's farm and food company managers are fellow alumni.
I sat with a classmate from the agricultural school with the same age and major. He and his wife listened to my story of seafood expansion at Money Island. Then I asked them what they did. They are both retired from a local pharmaceutical firm. Here I am just starting out in a new business venture at age 57. Classmates are retired. The contrast hit me hard. Our paths over the past 35 years since we parted at commencement in 1982 led to vastly different positions in life.
We discussed the challenges of Nantuxent Seafood: dealing with government, rising water levels, Sandy recovery, and capital needs. They listened to my comments and offered words of encouragement "We know you'll be successful". Then they asked "How can we do to support you?" All I could suggest was that I am active on social media and that I am working on several crowdfunding ideas. We discussed why I thought crowdfunding was important to a venture like this. Community support for the future of sustainable aquaculture is as important as the funding itself. This conversation added to my inclination that I am ready to take the next steps in developing a support base through crowdfunding.
During the day I received valuable bits of advice from the former college president, the former dean of the agriculture school, and a successful business person who was a wrestling teammate. I take it all quite seriously. By the end of the day I left with a short 'to do' list to help bring Nantuxent Seafood to the next level. This coming week I expect to complete my HACCP federal seafood safety training certification, talk with existing environmental partners and open discussions with new potential financial partners.
Dredging the Delaware Bay is a controversial topic. Some blame dredging for the drop in fish stocks that effectively bankrupted the recreational fishing industry here. This seaway is essential to our economy and the arrangements to accommodate larger vessels have already been made. The observed effects on our local mid-bay waters have been minimal. This graphic summarizes the issues.

Q: Send data with ajax, return json I want to send a string and return json.
This works but it doesn't return json code
$.ajax({
    url: "getFeed.php",
    type: "post",
    data: myString
});

When I want it to return a json string, it gives me an error.
$.ajax({
    url: 'getFeed.php',
    type: "post",
    data: {string1: "testdata", string2: "testdata"},
    dataType: 'jsonp',
    jsonp: 'jsoncallback',
    timeout: 5000,
});

For some reason the server doesn't recieve any data.
How am I supposed to write this? (i want to send 2 strings)

A: JSONP does not allow using POST method as it is really just a script request.
Since path used is relative (same domain) I suggest you use json datatype since jsonp is intended for cross domain requests.

A: EDIT: The keys are not, in fact, required to be in quotes. I was mistaken there. However, it still seems to be best practice, to avoid potential future issues.
$.ajax({
    "url": "getFeed.php",
    "type": "post",
    "data": {"string1": "testdata", "string2": "testdata"},
    "dataType": "jsonp",
    "jsonp": "jsoncallback",
    "timeout": 5000,
});

A: Ok, first your ajax syntax doesnt seem to be right.
Lets suppose you want to send two strings stringA and stringB. Your php file is getFeed.php.
Your ajax would look like this:
    $.ajax({
               type : "POST",
               url : "getFeed.php",
               data : {firstVar:stringA,secondVar:stringB},
               dataType: "json",
               success : function(data){

                         // Here you receive the JSON decoded.
                        var mesage = data.msg;
                 }
        });

Inside getFeed.php you would receive the strings like this:
$firstString = $_POST['firstVar'];
$secondString = $_POST['secondVar'];

And when you return the JSON object to the ajax from getFeed.php, this is how you would do it:
$myArray = array("msg"=>"Hello World", "another"=>"thing");
echo json_encode($myArray);

So lets go back to the ajax function, where the success part is, you receive a parameter data, and if you want to access the 'msg' and 'another', you would so like this:
       success : function(data){

                         var first = data.msg;
                         var second = data.another;
               }

FAIRFIELD, Conn. - Rocco & Associates Wealth Management, Inc. (roccoandassociates.com) has announced it will be offering a Shredding Day to kick off spring on May 17th from 10:00 A.M. - 1:00 P.M, at their office at 1248 Post Rd, Fairfield CT. In addition, the firm will be encouraging all taking advantage of this FREE event to also donate suits, shirts and other professional clothing items for both men and women to be distributed to local veterans through the Bethel, CT based organization, Save a Suit (saveasuit.org). Save a Suits' mission is to assist our veterans preparing to enter back into the workforce during the job interview process.
Not a day does not go by when we don't read about another security attack that targets both individuals and businesses that compromise personally identifiable information. These attacks can lead to fraud, bank accounts being drained and countless hours trying to rectify the breach with credit card companies and other professional service organizations you conduct business with. A main source of these types of breaches is not properly disposing of personal information. This could include but is not limited to, credit card statements, financial records, estate planning documents, as well as other sensitive mail that contains personal information.
"At Rocco & Associates, our firm takes safeguarding all of our client's personal/confidential information very seriously. All sensitive documents are stored under lock and key and properly disposed of and shredded on a regular basis," said Charlie Rocco, President & CEO. "In addition, we recently became 100% paperless, so all client information is securely stored electronically with multiple security layers as well as backups in multiple locations."
While planning events for 2019, we decided that are clients and others in the community should be able to dispose of their personal documents with the same confidence that we do," said Eric Johnson COO, "and we figured the springtime was a perfect time of year to offer this value added service while people are cleaning out after a long winter."
"Getting personal documents disposed of properly is critical to prevent security breaches, but equally important is our firm's quest to constantly be striving to give back to our community as well. This is why we decided to pair this year's shredding day with a clothing drive to help veterans get back into the workforce," said Charlie Rocco. The firm's hope is that while you are gathering up documents to be shredded, to also have a look inside those closets to donate any unwanted professional clothing at the same time.
Although the event itself will run on May 17th, documents and clothing can be dropped off anytime from 9-5 both Wednesday May, 15th & Thursday, May 16th at the office from 9-5 leading up to shredding day.

Kosta Scurfield: Death Of A British Soldier… Fighting ISIS in Syria
Download the full PDF
Published in FHM on 06 Aug 2015
Kosta Scurfield left his native Yorkshire in December 2014 to go to war. But the young Royal Marine had no plans to fight for Queen or country. He was answering a louder calling: to join the growing influx of foreign freedom fighters helping Kurdish forces destroy Isis in Syria and Iraq. Four months later he would be dead. But who was he, writes Matt Blake, and why did he give his life for someone else's war?
"He wasn't just bored and looking for something to do, he thought it was his duty to humanity."
"Why the fuck is that American guy even here?" grumbled Kosta Scurfield as he cleaned his M16 rifle by the side of the road leading out of Tel Hamis, northern Syria. A Yorkshireman, he wasn't one to mince his words. "I'm sick of these foreign fighters coming over thinking they know it all. They fuck about, don't listen to the Kurds and are making it more difficult for us to defeat Daesh [the universal name in the Middle East for Isis]."
It was the morning of 1 March 2015 and Macer Gifford, a 28-year-old former Young Conservative from Oxfordshire, had bumped into the ex-Royal Marine on the road back from the frontline. "He looked shattered after fighting all through the night," recalls Gifford. "But he seemed well."
The friends discussed the war and other Westerners who, like them, had joined the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) to help drive Isis out of Syria and Iraq. "He hated this one gung-ho American in my unit who had no real understanding of what we were trying to achieve with the YPG," says Gifford. "He had no time for people who didn't believe in the cause."
The conversation lasted a few minutes before Gifford's unit moved out. "I waved him goodbye and left him cleaninghis gun," remembers Gifford. "That was the last I saw of him. He was killed the next day."
Scurfield became the first British national to die fighting Isis just after 8pm on the crisp evening of 2 March 2015. The 25-year-old from Barnsley had been there since December with a multinational outfit of fighters loyal to the YPG. Their mission that night was to shuttle injured fighters and refugees to safety from Xizêla, a small village on the outskirts of Tel Hamis, which, until recently, Isis had overrun. From accounts given to Gifford and Scurfield's family by those who were there, FHM has pieced together what happened next.
Scurfield, in an armoured truck with two Kurds and an Iranian Christian named Maziar, drove carefully through the fading light, guided by muffled radio communications sent by their comrades waiting for them about a mile behind the town. As the sun fell, the cold crept in.
The attack came, as they usually did, without warning. A rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) streaked into sight and slammed into the ground next to the vehicle, tearing a hole the size of a grapefruit into its side. Shrieks of "Takbir!" and "Allahu Akbar!" rang out as a swarm of Isis fighters opened fire from behind a nearby wall. Muzzles flashed and automatic-weapon fire ripped over Scurfield and his Kurdish friends' heads.
Maziar shot back from the machine-gun turret mounted on the back of the truck and the driver put his foot down. The quiet evening had come alive with the thunder of war.They reached the Kurdish line in minutes.
A support crew helped unload the wounded and the team turned back to rejoin their hevallos, the Kurdish word for brothers. They'd soon return to rearm, again and again, back and forth. During one run, Maziar was shot in the hand, so he could no longer operate the turret gun. Typically, Scurfield was first to volunteer to take his place.
"Kosta was under the most horrendous fire," Gifford tells FHM when we track him down on his mobile phone in a trench in Syria, "Bullets were flying everywhere, mortars were going off, RPGs whizzing in every direction. Yet, each time they stopped to rearm, it was Kosta thanking everyone for their help and spurring them on."
At one point, Gifford later heard, Scurfield turned to another Westerner helping to rearm and exhaled, "Fuck me, this is unbelievable, the fire that's going down; I'm going to get shot here." They would be the last words he'd say in his native tongue.
"It happened during the final run," says Gifford. "Kosta was in the rear of the vehicle firing both his machine gun and numerous RPGs and, all of a sudden, a missile struck the front of the vehicle."
For the first time since battle erupted, Scurfield's gun fell silent. The driver managed to limp the truck back to safety where YPG fighters rushed to help. "They pulled out three Kurds," says Gifford. "One was bleeding from his ears, another was unconscious and the driver had a bad head wound. When they pulled Kosta out it was too late; he'd been hit by shrapnel. One of the most extraordinary men I've ever met had already gone."
Vasiliki, Scurfield's Greek-born mother, finds comfort in a single fact: that it took him two minutes to die. "My worst nightmare, every minute he was out there," Vasiliki tells us when we visit the family home in Barnsley, North Yorkshire, in April, "was that my son might die slowly calling for his mother; that he might have time to regret his actions."
Scurfield's father, Chris, travelled to Syria to repatriate their son in mid-March. But Vasiliki could not say goodbye without seeing her son one last time. She had to know the brutal truth. They identified the body together in Nottingham where Vasiliki's family is from and where he would be buried. "It was bad," she says. "There was catastrophic damage to his chest and a couple of pieces of shrapnel had hit his head. But he wasn't disfigured – there was only a bit of bruising on the left side of his face. He was still my Kosta."
Scurfield's parents learned of their son's death not from the British Foreign Office, but from a journalist. After all, he had not travelled to Syria with his government's blessing – the Foreign Enlistment Act 1870 makes it illegal for any Briton to join a foreign army at war with a state at peace with the UK. Instead, he gave back his green beret and smuggled himself into the war-ravaged country alone. Royal Marines who served with him in Britain described him as a "one-man army" who "found his true calling with the Green Berets". Yet he died in the arms of a Kurdish guerilla fighter, 2,216 miles from home. He wasn't in a military-grade tank with RAF air cover or advanced medical support. No, his final hours were spent in a rickety pick-up truck with a jam-prone black-market weapon in his hands.
The question is: why weren't the Royal Marines enough for Scurfield? And why – when he had worked so hard to earn his Green Beret – did he sacrifice his life for someone else's war? His mother says he wouldn't have had it any other way.
Konstandinos Erik Scurfield was born on 22 September 1989 in Northallerton, North Yorkshire, to Chris, an archaeologist and Vasiliki, a teacher and author. Two years later his sister was born, then his brother four years after that, before his youngest sibling, another brother, followed in 1999 (we've withheld their names for security reasons).
Vasiliki and Chris don't remember the "one-man army" that his old comrades describe. They didn't know that Kosta. No, they remember the three-year-old who, after his mother taught him to prepare cereal, got up at 6am every morning to make his baby sister breakfast. They remember the five-year-old who couldn't bear to leave an injured jackdaw to die in the road so brought it home to care for it through its final hours. Better than that, they remember the wide-eyed school leaver who dreamed of becoming an actor and spent the summer after his drama BTEC at clown school.
"He even got a bit-part on Hollyoaks," Vasiliki beams, turning to Chris. "He was on TV, wasn't he?" Chris nods, smiling. "When Kosta set his mind on something, he wouldn't give up until he made it happen. He was stubborn like that, especially as he got older."
Growing up, Scurfield was rarely cowed by authority. Vasiliki talks fondly about how neighbours would regularly complain to her that her son had been hedge-hopping through their gardens with his best friend, Matt. He was also a boy who got things done. In Barnsley, for example, he hired his own allotment where he grew tomatoes and kept chickens.
By 19, Scurfield had grown into 6ft 4in of towering brawn. He took up boxing and weightlifting. His world view was evolving, too. "He didn't tolerate apathy or people who weren't aware of what was going on in the world," Vasiliki recalls. "He'd get this silly grin on his face when you said something stupid or you wanted to challenge him."
Shortly after his 20th birthday, he announced that he was planning to walk to Greece to do national service (his Greek roots made him eligible). "He left with barely any money," Chris recalls. "I was furious. What if he got into trouble?"
Their frustration at their self-searching son was compounded when Scurfield phoned from Venice asking for a loan because he'd given his last pennies to a beggar.
"He said the beggar needed the money more than he did," says Chris. "To say I was pissed off is a bit of an understatement, but we couldn't help because of the recession and times were tough then." Nevertheless, Scurfield found his own way and spent the next six months with Greece's Hellenic Army. It wasn't enough.
"He found it so boring and wanted to come home," Vasiliki tells us. "They kept giving him sentry duty and wouldn't let him box."
Chris laughs, "They tried to stick him in a tank but he didn't fit – he was too tall."
The boy they knew came home a man. He no longer dreamed of a career on stage; his sights now were trained on the theatre of war. "I was horrified when he said he was joining the Marines," Vasiliki says. "I didn't think Kosta was suited to the military; his gentleness, his interest in the arts – he liked poetry and nurturing."
But there was no reasoning with Scurfield. "It caught his imagination," says Chris. "He researched what he wanted to do and which company he wanted to be in and off he went."
In four years with 45 Commando, based in Arbroath, Scotland, Scurfield never saw battle. Britain was pulling out of Afghanistan when he joined and was no longer deploying fresh meat. Still, he excelled, specialising in battlefield medicine. One former colleague we spoke to, Patrick, described Scurfield as a "colossus of a young Marine, ruthless, but with a heart of gold".
"I remember doing a close-quarters battle package with him," the source told us. "We were using Simunition [training ammunition] but it still frigging stings when you get shot. I also remember feeling apprehensive because [Scurfield] was playing the enemy that day…
"I was right to – I still have the marks to prove it."
All the while, a new menace was rising from the rubble of Syria's civil war. Thousands of young Muslim men and women from all corners of the planet (including some 1,600 from the UK) were answering Isis's drum call to establish an all-powerful Islamic state in the heart of the middle east with religious, political and military authority over all Muslims worldwide. Their master plan was simple: to crush anybody who stood in their way. Stories of Islamic State's barbarity were beginning to trickle into Western media: stories of mass slaughter, wholesale rape and enslavement of women. Soon videos appeared on YouTube of Western aid workers being beheaded, soldiers burned alive in cages, homosexuals thrown from roofs and "infidels" executed by bazooka. Scurfield watched them, like the rest of us, with horror. His horror, though, turned to anger, action.
"He went to his commanding officer to ask if Britain was going to Syria to fight Isis," says Vasiliki. "When he was told no, he couldn't comprehend it. He grew up on a diet of 'Let's save the Kurds from Saddam Hussein' or 'Let's save all the women in Afghanistan from the Taliban.' There was a constant feed of propaganda from the British government over why we went to those wars, so when he was told, 'Oh no, we're not going to Syria', he was frustrated. He's always been the kind of kid who never expected other people to do things for him: if something you want is not happening, get off your bottom and do something about it."
Scurfield told his mother he was going to war on Christmas Day 2013, while driving to a family get together. "Mum, I want to go to Syria and help," he told her. "The Kurds are dying and our government's doing nothing."
At first, Vasiliki thought he was joking. "I said, 'Yeah sure, if you've got no shoes and no coat and some Englishman tells you he cares, what are you going to say? Oh, thanks for that." That silly grin she knew so well was already creeping across Scurfield's face. "Mum," he replied, "I'd give them my shoes and I'd give them my coat.'"
Vasiliki knew then that there was nothing she could do to stop her son. "It's the hardest thing you have to come to terms with as a parent: that your children will do what they want to do in the end, unless your hold over them is unnatural," she reflects, her voice trembling with emotion. "So the only thing you can do is try and make sure they do it in an informed way. But to hold them back is to deny them the growth that they need as human beings." Then she laughs, "Really, I'd like all of mine wrapped in cotton wool and locked in their bedrooms."
True to his word, Scurfield resigned his commission in September 2014. Through Facebook, he contacted a YPG recruiter and, within weeks, was on a plane to Iraq where he was swiftly picked up by Kurdish rebels and smuggled by land into Syria. YPG commanders placed him in the Lions of Rojava brigade, a unit comprising mostly of foreign volunteers. Paid only in cigarettes (even though Scurfield didn't smoke), Scurfield and his unit were promptly dispatched to the under-siege city of Sinjar, where battle was raging.
Scurfield soon found himself holed up with US Army veterans Jordan Matson and Matthew Kowalski, former U.S. Marine John Foxx and Ashley Johnson, the Australian soldier who was killed a week before Scurfield. "We were under constant fire for a month," Kowalski tells us from his home in Florida. "We were sleeping through gunfire in bombed-out buildings, 50 metres from the Isis line, moving in tunnels, running for cover every time a mortar fell."
Isis attacks usually came at night. Dressed all in black, they would swarm over walls, illuminating the dark with gunfire. "We were heavily outnumbered but managed to hold them back each time, aiming at their muzzle flashes," adds Kowalski. "We knew that if they pushed hard enough we'd be overrun, so we agreed to not let anyone get captured; that we would die fighting together, no matter what."
Weeks passed and no one was captured. "Day to day, we held our line," adds Kowalski. "Kosta built a makeshift gym to keep us fit and cooked most of our meals. I have this image of him laughing while chopping frozen chickens on an Isis helmet, bombs going off in the distance. He could even make tinned meat taste good."
The day Kowalski was shot it was Scurfield, he says, who saved his life. "Rounds were flying everywhere when a bullet went through my thigh," he says. "While I was fighting to stay conscious, Kosta and an American named Cudi stemmed the bleeding, loaded me on to a makeshift stretcher and carried me 300 metres under constant fire to an evacuation vehicle. If it hadn't been for them, I would not be here today."
He remembers the last conversation he had with Scurfield before he blacked out. "He was joking, asking me how it felt to be shot and if I was happy that I could go home," he adds, his voice beginning to tremble. "The last thing I saw before I blacked out was Kosta sprinting back to the frontline. I had no idea that would be the last time I saw my friend."
Many soldiers who leave their country's armed forces eventually make the difficult transition into civilian life. Others never quite get there, ending up depressed, drug-addled and on the streets. Then there are a few who – missing the adrenaline and Hollywood glamour of battle – head overseas to take up arms again in someone else's war – like, perhaps, the American Scurfield hated so much.
Even the war itself has shades of the film Mad Max. One side, Isis, is formed of bands of bloodthirsty warmongers who publicise themselves with grisly public slayings and maraud across the desert in convoys of pick-up trucks and souped-up suicide-bomb cars. On the other side, Brits, Americans and other young men, such as Scurfield, are crowding in to defend what they see as civilisation itself.
There are estimated to be around 100 foreigners in YPG – whose Facebook page urges people to help "send terrorists to hell and save humanity" from Isis – from the UK, France, Spain, Austria, Australia, Denmark, America and Canada. Only a handful are thought to be British.
"We need to pick a side," Jac Holmes, a 22-year-old IT specialist from Portsmouth who has been fighting in Syria since February, tells us from an internet cafe near the Turkish border. "Isis won't stop until they have destroyed everything Western civilisation has built for the past 1,000 years. They rape, they murder and, as a nation, Britain simply isn't doing enough to counter this threat to our country."
"We don't even need troops on the ground here," Gifford elaborates from the trench. "What Isis has found in the YPG is a meat grinder that is chewing up their fighters faster than they can send them to us. [Britain] needs to double the number of bombing raids against Isis. We then need to offer full diplomatic support to the YPG. If we want this war to end we need to build stronger relationships with those fighting and make sure the right support is given. It's only though unity that we can destroy Isis and build a new future for Syria and theMiddle East. Kosta believed this as much as anyone."
It would be easy to paint Scurfield as a bloodthirsty adrenaline junkie. But the conversations he had and the Facebook posts he wrote (he linked to newspaper articles about Ancient Greek art and, in a nod to his future plans – and even a prophecy of his death – he changed his profile picture to a painting of Lord Byron, the British poet who died volunteering for the Greek War of Independence), point to a motivation more profound.
As one friend and former British soldier put it, "He wasn't just bored and looking for something to do, he thought it was his duty to humanity. He knew people needed him. And he knew the danger he was putting himself in."
In the Kurdish forces, Scurfield found an organisation that was far more inclusive and diverse than that of the alienated Muslim boys who have flocked from London, Paris and Vienna to join Isis. He also found a purpose that the British Armed Forces never gave him.
"He died doing what he wanted to do," Vasiliki tells us. "For the last two weeks before he left, he was so relaxed and happy. And you can see in the pictures of him out there how comfortable he is in his own skin. His life had a purpose and he will be happy that his death did, too."
Last September, before he left for war, Scurfield posted this on Facebook: "How can we expect righteousness to prevail when there is hardly anyone willing to give himself up individually to a righteous cause? Such a fine, sunny day, and I have to go, but what does my death matter, if through us, thousands of people are awakened and stirred to action?" These were the last words of Sophie Scholl, a 21-year-old anti-Nazi activist who, in '40s Germany, handed out leaflets condemning Hitler's war. Moments after she said them, she was led out to her execution and beheaded.

Later version of "Miku's Serenade"
close over your eyes as you head into dreams.
lingers by itself looking lonely.
so I focus my attention.
Your breath gently caresses my cheek.
what does it seek far away?
At dawn the promised day starts shining red.
I vow to look after you.
Forever, I love you with my all.
you see, reach to the end of the universe.


August turned out to be an excellent month for monitoring. The 3rd Combat Aviation Brigade at Hunter AAF recently returned from a year-long deployment and began taking to the skies around Savannah during the second half of the month. As I recently blogged, the brigade seems to have some of the aircraft they previously used and some that are new to the unit after their deployment. It's been fun to hear the UH-60Ls, HH-60Ms, CH-47Fs, AH-64Ds, and UH-60Ms back in the air over Savannah after a year's absence.
Unfortunately, the month ended on a somber note. On 25 August, one of the Jumping Place's Cessna 182s, N4785D, crashed while conducting skydiving operations at the Swainsboro Airport. Using the callsigns JUMPER 1 and JUMPER 2, The Jumping Place's Cessna 182s are frequently heard on Coastal Georgia area air traffic control frequencies. There were five people on board the aircraft when it crashed; one survived and four perished; my prayers are with their families, friends, and comrades and I pray for the survivor's recovery.

Q: Save attachments in order I am trying to run a macro via rule in Outlook that saves attachments into a folder.
Emails sometimes have more than one attachment. I am trying to save the files in order, so for example if I go to down the emails I can easily see the file that corresponds to it.
I have the following that I found online:
Public Sub saveAttachtoDisk(itm As Outlook.MailItem)

    Dim objAtt As Outlook.Attachment
    Dim saveFolder As String
    saveFolder = "C:\PathToDirectory\"

    Dim dateFormat As String
    dateFormat = Format(itm.ReceivedTime, "yyyy-mm-dd Hmm ")

    For Each objAtt In itm.Attachments
        objAtt.SaveAsFile saveFolder & "\" & dateFormat & objAtt.DisplayName
    Next

End Sub

I've tried to play with objatt.displayname with no luck. I've tried assigning new names and creating a new loop that names the files File 1 , File 2 and so on but when I do that I lose the file extension.
Updated Version:
Option Explicit

Public Sub save_attachments(itm As Outlook.MailItem)

Dim fso As Object
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim strExt As String
Dim i As Long
Dim savefolder As String

i = 1

savefolder = "C:\Users\w\desktop\test"

For Each objAtt In itm.Attachments
    i = i + 1
    strExt = fso.GetExtensionName(objAtt.DisplayName)
    objAtt.SaveAsFile savefolder & "\" & dateFormat & " - File " & i & "." & strExt
Next

End Sub

A: You could do something like this in your existing subroutine. This would increment a "File" number and still preserve the extension.
Dim fso As Object
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim strExt As String
Dim i As Long

For Each objAtt In itm.Attachments
    i = i + 1
    strExt = fso.GetExtensionName(objAtt.DisplayName)
    objAtt.SaveAsFile saveFolder & "\" & dateFormat & " - File " & i & "." & strExt
Next

A: I've been using a similar solution for some time now. I recently added this peace of coding to avoid saving embedded images too:
Extension = LCase$(Right$(FileNm, 3))
If Extension = "png" Or Extension = "gif" Or Extension = "jpg" Then

*** Save File ***

Endif

Assuming of course you don't receive image files you want to save.
If you put this before your For Next loop, you can select multiple e-mails:
For Each Item In Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection

Of course you will have to put your i = i + 1 somewhere else too then.
You can also put a link to your file in the e-mail:
FileNameb = Replace(filename, " ", "%20")
Link = "" + filename + "
"
Item.HTMLBody = Item.HTMLBody + Link

And this removes the attachments from the mail and saves it:
For i = 1 To Item.Attachments.Count
    Item.Attachments.Remove 1: 'Remove all attachments
Next i
Item.UnRead = False: 'Mark e mail as read
Item.Save

Have fun!


You have probably heard people talk about the net worth of the wealthy men and women across the world. But have you ever tried to calculate yours? Your net worth is very important, especially when it comes to calculating your economic and financial status from time to time. Simply put, it is calculated as your assets minus your liabilities. That is, what you own minus your debts. Your assets could be your investments, cash, cars or whatever you own. Your liabilities could be what you owe on those assets like student loan, car loan, rent payment and so on. Calculating your net worth helps you significantly determine your financial progress. There are 3 significant steps in calculating your net worth.
To properly calculate your net worth, you need to first calculate your assets. List out all your largest assets like your house, car, estate, lands and so on. The list should contain their current monetary values. Gather your bank statements and add to the list your current bank account balance, savings and other investments earnings.Add your expensive personal items such as jewelries, gadgets, laptops, phones, television and other expensive items that you have. Add only the personal items that have relevant value. Finally, add it all up to get your total assets. Try not to overestimate the value of your assets be very conservative because the value diminishes easily.
Calculating your liabilities is pretty much the same thing. List out the major debts you need to pay such as bank loans, rent payment, personal loans, student loans, auto loans, home loans, and so on. Then list all your personal liabilities like credit card debts and any other debt you owe from anywhere. Add it all up; the number you get is your total liabilities.
After calculating your assets and liabilities, it becomes very easy to calculate your net worth. Simply subtract your total liabilities from your total assets and your net worth would be the residual value. In some cases, your net worth may result to a negative figure; but that only means you need to work harder on your financial health. Try saving more, avoid unnecessary debts and cut down on your daily expenses.
Your net worth helps you have something to compare against in future. Try to calculate your net worth annually and compare it with the previous years. This would help you determine if you are making progress and meeting your desired goal or otherwise.

Created in August 2011, it is only now that I have finally decided what this blog shall be about – my take and experiences with traditional Indian ethnic wear with my first focus on the Anarkali and Churidar. If time, opportunity and desire permit, I shall look at the saree and salwar kameez as subsequent projects once I have discussed this topic to its utmost detail!
I have always loved the grace and elegance of how this outfit looks and given my ballet training while growing up I have a somewhat unique mental association with the pointe shoes from ballet and the long flowy and flary look of the Anarkali.
What I hope to bring to this blog is my take on this style and I shall offer pictures, designs, and ideas and hopefully connect with fellow lovers of this ever so exquisite outfit.

ARTICLES (Music & Musicians International)
Published in 'Music & Musicians International' July 1991
| NEXT ARTICLE >
AND THE BASSOON
Like many people, I was ignorant of the bassoon and its repertoire. Well, almost - for me it was a large instrument with the daintiness of a small missile launcher, played by my extremely swotty cousin as a cunning means of infiltrating the school orchestra which had a groaning surfeit of clarinets, flutes and violins. It played the low bits in German folk-songs. And so Daniel Smith was the man to put me right. A tall, distinguished-looking American, he is largely responsible for the growth in popularity of the bassoon as a solo instrument. His driving purpose is to show off the instrument, in all its fullness and diversity, with work ranging from a project for ASV, recording all Vivaldi's bassoon concerti (more later) to contemporary, ragtime and jazz. His breadth of inspiration can be heard on a disc released recently-'Bassoon Bon-Bons' which brings together a Chopin Etude, Rachmininov's "Vocalise" and the "Golliwog's Cake-Walk" of Debussy among others.
I asked Mr. Smith about the bassoon repertoire. "While some major composers such as Brahms didn't write any solo works for bassoon, Mozart wrote a very famous bassoon concerto. Then there are the 37 concerti of Vivaldi, Weber wrote two interesting concertos, Hummel wrote one, Strauss wrote his duet concertino for bassoon and clarinet, and so forth. If you add several lesser composers, you'd probably come up with at least fifty or so concertos. Plus a lot of sonatas and other pieces".
We turned to Vivaldi, quite naturally in the setting of Daniel Smith's airy flat decorated with many prints of Venice. His recordings of the 37 concerti with the English Chamber Orchestra has been a long-range project that is now half way finished-with one album per year till the entire series is done. The project greatly animates him: "These concertos have lots of character and are very sensitive, and considering the harmonic palette is limited, very inventive. The slow movements are ethereal and the outer movements of these fast-slow-fast patterns are very exciting, they can give you goosebumps!"
"Vivaldi lived and worked at 'La Pieta', an orphanage for teenage girls in Venice, and was maestro of the orchestra, composing for these pupils. Apart from the violin, his most ample output was for the bassoon. Nobody understands why. He must have had an unusually talented young woman there: this music is difficult to execute, full of all types of 'breathtaking hurdles' as one reviewer put it. The instrument used was also an earlier Baroque model, and as it is, even today the bassoon is the least developed of the woodwinds. In other words, mechanically it's more awkward to play than any of the others. Having played them all, I am well aware of this."
How did his musical life begin? "I actually started on the bassoon very late in life. I was 24 years old, which is unusually late to start anything. A rather odd sequence of events had led me to getting involved with music in the first place. I started the clarinet at age 16, knew nothing about music, and if you asked me what a clef was, I wouldn't have known what to say, I was totally ignorant. So one New Year's Eve, when they reunited the Benny Goodman trio on television. I saw him play and to me it was pure magic". He went to a local music studio where his cousin was studying drums and asked them if he could take lessons on the instrument Benny Goodman played - the trumpet! Suspicious, the teacher asked him to describe this 'trumpet' and when told that it was 'long and black, sent the young Smith off to be taught the clarinet. This sequence of events, he feels, was 'fate'.
Daniel Smith's earliest influences were jazz musicians, Benny Goodman, Stan Getz, and Charlie Parker especially. "I felt the emotion and excitement of what they were doing coming through. What I'm saying is, it doesn't matter what instrument you're playing or what idiom you're playing in, what is important is the feeling, the communication".
From his beginnings with the clarinet, saxophone and then flute lessons followed in quick succession. Having entered a conservatory as a clarinet major, he switched to become a flute major, gaining this degree from the Manhattan School of Music in NY. He then went on to join the West Point Band as a special serviceman where he played solo piccolo and flute. During his last year in the army, he began to study the bassoon.
"The motivation had nothing to do with what I'm doing now-it was a very pragmatic thing - How can I make a living when I get out of the army? - this was my thinking at that time. I thought that if I played another reed instrument, and especially a double reed, there would be more opportunities-showbands, studio work, etc.".
"As the years went by, I became very fond of the instrument. I loved the sound it produced and the challenge of playing it-it is so difficult compared to other woodwinds. Many people also find it appealing when they hear it for the first time."
"An interviewer asked me recently to describe how I sound. I said, 'I can't! I have absolutely no idea'. When playing, I get lost in what I'm doing - I'm out of myself. When I finish, I can sort of evaluate if I did what I intended to do, but other than that, this is the only way I can describe it".
"Although I've had extensive formal training with many famous teachers in the States, members of the NY Philharmonic, Boston Symphony, NBC Symphony, Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, etc, at some point I just went my own way in regard to developing a style. Consequently, people either like it very much or are dubious. Not so much listeners - audiences are enthusiastic at my concerts and recitals and my recordings sell very well. But apparently, I have stepped a little aside from the 'correct' way of playing, although not intentionally, just simply by doing what I do."
The advice he received from one teacher encouraged him to stick out and be different. "There are a lot of very good bassoon players around, and they all play well - everybody knows the orchestral repertoire - that's a given. What you have to do is somehow make yourself special so that the audience in front of you can feel something is happening. Not just the correct notes coming out, they've got to be almost lifted out of their seats! I always try to capture the essence of what I'm playing, whether a sonata, a crossover selection, a traditional English piece, ragtime, or a virtuoso bravura piece."
What are Daniel Smith's plans for the future? His solo career continues to flourish, with many engagements in his diary. Over the past three years he has been working with pianist Jonathan Still, and the duo has been taking shape with over 20 recitals in the past two years. He feels fortunate in having found in Jonathan a responsive musician who picks up the slightest nuance from his partner. As a dedicated Anglophile too, he anticipates spending more time in this country. This past year two more recordings were released: the third volume of Vivaldi concertos with the English Chamber Orchestra on ASV, and also a five concerto volume including works by J.C.Bach, Hertel, Graupner, Vivaldi, and an 18th Century dance suite by Henry Hargrave - also with the ECO and on ASV.
He also points out that most importantly is not 'what' he plays, but 'how' he plays it. "My recent recitals sound very different now from what I would have played a year ago."
He enjoys the opportunity to speak to the audience, to communicate information about the musical selections, and to break any barrier between performer and listener. The growth in the instrument's popularity excites him. "It's going to come into its own soon. If it's played well and effectively, it can be very appealing. There are a lot of fine bassoon players around, so eventually it will catch on and people will accept it as an important solo instrument to go and hear."
Daniel Smith seems to relish the freedom of being a solo artist and a member or a rare breed. "It is vital to convey the inner 'life' of the music over everything else. Arthur Rubenstein claimed that he never played a perfect performance, and hoped that he never would. There would be nothing left to aim for. In any event, it really does not matter what instrument you play, it's what you can convey through the music that is important and meaningful, everything else is just the technique of executing it. I'm always changing the way I play - the use of vibrato, dynamics, phrasing, etc...it's limitless what you can do. Discipline has its place, but when you are trying to convey a musical message, why not be flexible?"

Oak St Cafe supporting Mental Health Week 2014 – It's competition time!
Northern Quarter pledges support for Mental Health Awareness Week 2014
Manchester Mind, the local mental health charity, has launched a competition in the Northern Quarter this May because no one should have to face a mental health problem alone…
Manchester Mind has rallied local cafes and delis to join the challenge by entering a staff team for Mental Health Awareness Week, which takes place from 12 -18 May. The NQ team who best promote mental health services and raise the largest donation will not only be supporting Manchester Mind, but also win a mystery prize…
Joanna Huddart of Manchester Mind said, "We're delighted to have received so much support from local traders in the Northern Quarter. Up to 10 staff teams will actively promote our charity and encourage customer donations throughout the week. Every penny raised will make a huge difference to us and ensure our services continue to support some of the most vulnerable people in Manchester who are experiencing mental ill-health."
Manchester Mind hope customers will support the campaign by visiting their favourite NQ cafe or deli during Mental Health Awareness Week and donating their change to the charity. The success of Mental Health Awareness Week will be down to the generosity of local organisations and individuals, so all support is welcomed.
Manchester Mind would also welcome one off donations and offers of further support, including volunteering and nominations as "charity of the year".

The following day the Government then narrowly survived a No Confidence motion called by the Opposition. The Prime Minister returned to the House of Commons on Monday 21 January to set out her 'Plan B' with an accompanying Government motion, which MPs are now expected to lay amendments to over the forthcoming days.
1. UK Parliament ratifies a deal (either the existing Withdrawal Agreement or a similar negotiated settlement) between the UK and the EU before the withdrawal date of 29 March following a further vote in the UK Parliament, and triggers a 'stand still' transition period until 31 December 2020.
In this outcome, financial services firms would continue to benefit from passporting (allowing firms authorised in an EEA state to conduct business within other EEA states based on their 'home' member state authorisation) as they do today until 31 December 2020. Obligations derived from EU law would continue to apply and firms would continue with implementation plans for EU legislation that is still to come into effect before the end of December 2020.
The Government has published a more digestible 'Explainer' for the 565 page legally binding Withdrawal Agreement, as well as 'Explanatory slides' to accompany the non-binding Political Declaration on the future relationship between the UK and EU.
During the transition period the UK and EU would continue to negotiate the future relationship or trade deal of which financial services is an integral part. In the longer term, the outcome of these negotiations and the approach taken by UK and European authorities will determine the extent to which UK and EU markets and business structures change to enable firms to continue to serve European customers.
2. The UK decides not to leave the EU on 29 March after an extension to the negotiation period, and possibly after another public vote.
Even if current UK legislation providing for exit on 29 March is overridden at Westminster, and exit under 'Article 50' is delayed by agreement between the UK and the 27 other member states, this will not remove the 'no deal' risk - where the UK leaves the EU without a negotiated settlement - which is inherent in the Article 50 process. It will be simply postponed to a later date.
The rejection of the existing Withdrawal Agreement by the UK Parliament does however raise the possibility of another public vote, whether via a general election or a second referendum (the so called 'People's vote') in order to break the political deadlock at Westminster. It must be emphasised that due to time constraints that both of these options are only possible through an extension of the Article 50 negotiation process.
3. The UK leaves the EU without a deal on 29 March, and there is no transition period.
Due to the terms set in European treaty law, EU membership "shall cease to apply" to the UK, with or without a withdrawal agreement, two years following the invocation of the 'Article 50' negotiation period on 29 March 2017. This has been ratified further by the UK Parliament through the terms of the EU Withdrawal Act. At the time of writing, 'No Deal' is the default position the UK finds itself in without a majority in Parliament for a negotiated settlement.
INCOMING BUSINESS: In December 2017 the UK Government passed legislation that will establish a temporary permissions regime (TPR) to enable inbound financial services firms which passport into the UK to continue to do so for a time limited period if the passporting regime falls away abruptly when the UK leaves the EU as a result of 'No Deal'.
OUTGOING BUSINESS: As there is not expected to be a reciprocal arrangement from the EU, the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) has emphasised that UK firms passporting into the EU must have taken the necessary measures themselves to gain authorisation in time for March 2019.
UK based firms that only do business in the UK may be affected less directly or not affected at all by 'No Deal'. However, as with Brexit more widely, UK based firms which carry out business between the UK and the EEA - whether through a passport or directly under EU legislation - will have now implemented appropriate contingency plans to gain the necessary permissions to continue to do business in the local EEA jurisdiction of relevance post 29 March. The same will also apply to firms who need to carry on servicing customers under existing contracts.

Q: Scroll to the top of modal window on button click I'm building a site on Wordpress using Elementor page builder, and I'm having trouble sending the user back to the top of a modal when clicking 'next' on a form.
Here's the code I've been trying, and here's the page it's currently hosted: http://doortouk-co-uk.stackstaging.com/home/
(The modal can be opened by clicking the 'Apply Now' button at the bottom of the page, section 3, 4 and 5 have the longer sections that require the scroll to top functionality)
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
    jQuery('.e-form__buttons__wrapper__button-next').click(function(){
        jQuery(".dialog-widget-content").scrollTop(0);
        });
 })

Any help would be appreciated!
Edit - the solution was to target .dialog-lightbox-message

A: Took the effort to look at your website and find the issue. But for the next time, it would be great if you make a code snippet we can use to help you. Anyway, cheers and enjoy!
I made a snippet to double check if what I was doing was correct. The thing you need would be:
jQuery(".dialog-widget-content").animate({ scrollTop: $(".dialog-widget-content")}, 0);
PS, run code snippet below. ;)

$('.e-form__buttons__wrapper__button-next').click(function(e){
  jQuery(".dialog-widget-content").animate({ scrollTop: $(".dialog-widget-content")}, 0);
});
.dialog-widget-content {
  width:400px;
  height:400px;
  overflow:auto;
  float:left;
}
