City Art Reader 28: Oh to be an artist, a real artist!
As the academic year gets underway, arts students around the country are venturing down a tertiary path that might, just might, be the visual arts version of Katherine Mansfield's much-quoted dream to be "a real writer". What are their chances? The City Art Reader talks to Christchurch's two main art schools to see how this year's batch of students is shaping up.
The Ara Institute of Canterbury offers a range of arts-related tertiary courses, most well-known being the Bachelor of Design with specialisations in Applied Visual Art, Visual Communication Design, Fashion Technology and Design, Motion Design, Photography and Visual Communication Design. While the details around Government plans to merge 16 vocational institutions into into a single, yet to be named institute of skills and technology are still uncertain – the bill orchestrating this change passed its third and final reading last month – Bruce Russell, manager of Art and Design at Ara, says this year is already running on full.

How are enrolments this year?
We have exceeded our targets. The Bachelor of Design, which is our main qualification, has enrolled strongly this year and for the Applied Visual Art specialisation – printing, drawing, sculpture – we have more first year enrolments than in any time in the last seven years.
Are they mainly school leavers?
It's a mixture – about 80% of them are school leavers or have come to us from a year doing a level 4 qualification. They might have needed a year to complete a lower level qualification to enable them access to a degree. We have some mature students but not many.
Have they enrolled across all disciplines?
We are the mirror image of the University (of Canterbury). They have an art school with a design programme embedded in it; we have a design programme with an arts school embedded in it. In our visual arts we teach printmaking, drawing – lots of drawing – and small object sculpture. While we have a painting elective, we don't have a full course of study in painting. That is the university's business.
What are the expectations of students when they arrive?
They know what they want to do – they want to make art – but they don't necessarily have a long term goal. I always say if you apply for Applied Visual Art it might not necessarily lead you to a job. I give them examples of things our graduates from that specialisation have done for work, not just teaching, but it is up to them. I do say, if your primary focus is to get paid employment we have other specialisations in the Bachelor of Design programme that will suit you better but that will not enable you to make art all the time. If Applied Visual Art is what you really want to do, if that is your focus, then that is what you should do.
How much engagement do students have with what is going on in the arts in the city?
We really try to drive that. We've created a shell course, a group of academic credits which is not about teaching in the classroom but it incentivises them to do stuff to gain those credits. If they go to every exhibition opening in town and write a brief reflection, we will give them credits because that gets them engaging with the art world and understanding who does what, where and how it works and that is what we want them to know at the end. We could tell them until we are in blue in the face that it is really good for them to do x, y and z and they'd go, why would I do that? Most of them come to us with an NCEA mindset which says if I'm not earning credits I am not going to do it, because everything in NCEA is about gaining credits and anything that doesn't gain credits is not valued. We can enable learning to happen by incentivising them, enabling them to have learning in the real world. We see that as very valuable for all our students.
At the end of this year those completing their time at Ara's art and design programme will be feeling… nervous? Or impatient to get out into the art-making world?
A lot of students are nervous – it doesn't matter what specialisation they have enrolled in, they all feel diffident about having to go out there. There are some exceptions who are terribly self-confident and motivated and that is great and good on them, but they would be in the minority. Most young people find the world – and I can sympathise with them – quite a worrying prospect on lots of levels. But we do make an effort – the Bachelor of Design (programme) has five specialisations of which Applied Visual Art is just one. Because the main focus of our degree is probably more vocational than your average art school we require all our students including those doing Applied Visual Art to do what we call professional practice. This involves doing a course in the second year about the practicalities of employment, self-employment and what that involves – an introduction to copyright, invoicing, tax… all those sorts of things. Through professional practice they can earn credits by engaging with third parties. This could be client-based work in design; often our arts people might organise themselves an internship with an artist; they might help in an art education programme; or they might be an intern at CoCA. The last thing we want is for them to do three years here, become a crash-hot screen-print artist or intaglio printmaker, but have absolutely no idea what to do next, how to make it work, who to talk to or how to get a show – or even what is a show. In the third year we get them putting together their own shows – finding a space, putting on an exhibition. Recently we have found our graduates even in Applied Visual Art are much more likely to be self-starting – they will go and find places to show; they will make work and they will sell it – through a pop up shop for example, or illustrative drawings. That is a good vibe.
The Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) at the University of Canterbury Ilam School of Fine Arts is a four-year degree in visual arts and design subjects with specialisations in graphic design, film, painting, photography and sculpture – under recent changes the final year can now be split between the BFA and the Honours year, in line with other art schools around the country. Masters of Fine Arts and PhD programmes are also available. Head of Fine Arts Aaron Kreisler says enrolment numbers are now ahead of pre-quake enrolments.

Talking to colleagues around the country there seems to have been a flattening out but that is not what we have found this year. We have had a rise in the number of students taking first year which is a real positive. We couldn't take all the students – at least three couldn't come here because they are stuck in China.
Are the first-year students mainly school leavers?
We get a few mature students but most are school leavers. Most are from a broader Canterbury catchment which is probably why numbers were down in that post-quake period because a lot of students from the Canterbury region went elsewhere. I think they are now wanting to stay. Looking at the competition, they don't see a point of difference to make them want to leave and as a generation they are spending longer at home.
Sometimes it comes down to personality. Like all art schools, you want a certain character to come through across the school in terms of people shaping what is coming through their studios but also you don't want a practice that is reflective of the lecturers' own interests. We are teaching a new degree programme that has come through in the last four years so the nuts and bolts across the studios are a lot more similar, even though it is nuanced around the practice. So having a graphic design studio in an art school is different from say, Massey (University) where there is an entire graphic design department. Here graphic design is still through the fine arts paradigm, so the lens is slightly different – that generates a different kind of practice. It relates to a conceptual underpinning and a relationship with materiality which goes back to that Bauhaus-type relationship. So the 'industry' is not the benchmark against which things are set.
They are impressionable. If you talk to the younger ones who come straight through school, they might have been exposed to a lot of painting practice and that has coloured the direction they might want to go in. By having a foundation year, where they go into each studio, hopefully that becomes a trigger point to think about things that might not be along the lines of what they wanted to do when they first came through the door. Sometimes for more mature students who haven't been in the education system and who have been doing one thing in terms of art practice and that is what they want to continue to do – it can be a shock when they might not get into this particular studio. We cap our numbers across all our studios so if you really want to get into that studio, it can be a battle. But if you look at our alumni and the people that are sometimes the pin ups of different periods of history – you might think of them as painter but they might have trained as a sculptor. The way their practice shifted over time is more about being informed by art and art practice. That is what I tell our students – you might not be remembered as that great painting student per se but you will be remembered for what you did beyond the arts school. You might get older students who come back, who have always had an interest in art but weren't allowed to do it – they were told not to pursue that idea, to be pragmatic about their lives. So here is an opportunity to re-investigate that – there is a certain amount of loss from that but there is also a positive story. Having a sustainable career in anything takes a lot of time and a lot of reassessment. It is hard to explain that to a 17 or 18 year old sometimes, but the easiest thing to explain is, are you going to be sustaining an interest in this?
At the end of the first week this year we went into city and introduced our first-years to Blair Jackson, Felicity Milburn and Peter Vangioni at the Christchurch Art Gallery – they showed them around and talked about the shows and behind the scenes and what the public gallery does. Then we went across the road to the Physics Room then to CoCA. They are expected to write a short precis of the different spaces and what they do. We'll take them around the art dealers – we tell them this is something they should become familiar with as part of their extended whanau, and as it becomes more familiar and less intimidating they will see themselves more and more in those spaces.
At the end of this year those completing their time at the Ilam School of Fine Arts will be feeling…. nervous? Or impatient to get out into art-making world?
I think it is both. Like a lot of students, you wake up the day after your exams and you think – what? It is like being orphaned. You can try to counsel that but it is like any stage – you can't over-project what that will be like. Sometimes that is why people who finish their graduate degrees go on and do post-graduate studies because it is offsetting that inevitability. But I think we try and give a fair account of the world beyond.

Interim Report after 1 year of new Board
IFA > News > Uncategorized > Interim Report after 1 year of new Board
Friday August 14th, 2020
Today, 1 years ago, the International Fistball Association (IFA) Board of Directors was elected at the IFA 2019 Congress within the framework Fistball Men´s World Championships in Winterthur (SUI). Jörn Verleger from Munich, Germany was elected the sixth president in the history of IFA. The 48-year-old succeeds Karl Weiss (Austria). Karl Weiss did not run for re-election after serving eight years as president of the Association during which IFA developed from 27 member nations to 61 national associations. Together with Secretary General elected Christoph Oberlehner from Austria Verleger is giving an Interim Report as video and podcast message.
Mr. Verleger, Mr Oberlehner, which contributions were the most successful last year?
First of all we are very proud of the Fistball Academy which we established three years ago. The Fistball Academy is really one of our projects with a lot of passion, and especially with the help of Uwe Schneider, we were able to publish the first training modules to support smaller and new federations. Additionally we were able to develop from a federation to a service provider. We offer many services for our members and for our hosts. Even for this year we had very great plans, but the global Covid-19 pandemic changed a lot, and we were forced to postpone all our events to 2021. But also, that postponement gave us a big chance to rethink and improve our internal procedures, and that was also one of our big topics within the last month I would say.
What highlight did really stand out to you?
The absolute highlight for us has been the World Championships in Winterthur. Of course, World Championships are always special, but Winterthur enthused us all chiefly with its media coverage. For example, we had 260 published articles in total, a number we never had before. Furthermore, we reached a total of 382.9 million people, which is incredible in our opinion. We couldn´t really believe this number if it wasn´t analyzed by a professional agency, but yeah, it happened. In general, it was amazing to be part of such a big event with more than 30.000 spectators in the stadiums and we think it was one of the major highlights in our work for the Fistball family. And to make some promo, if you like to re-watch some of the games, you can go on www.fistball.tv and enjoy the games, or the one you liked the most for a second time.
Which changes did you affect in Fistball?
We think it`s a little bit too early to say that. We are elected for four years and we have to see what the following three years will bring. But as we mentioned before, we have already established some new projects. And not only on the Fistball pitch, we also employed us with topics like sustainability and gender equality. To go back on the Fistball pitch, we also have to mention the Fistball World Tour with it´s final in Salzburg. A very nice event we established step by step and we sadly had to cancel for this year due to the Covid-19 Pandemic.
Also the increasing professionalization of our small events, which are getting more media coverage is beside the number of already 65 member federations, and an increasing number of women in our sport, a point which shows us, that we are on the right way
What are you plan to accomplish over the coming year?
We can promise you the following year will be a very challenging, but also a very great year for the Fistball Family. We will have many events because we had to cancel most of our tournaments this year and postpone them to 2021. In 2021 we will start with the Women World Championship in July, which we had to remove from Chile, back to Europe. Let us cross our fingers that the Covid-19 pandemic will be under better circumstances next year, also because 10 to 14 days after the women world championships we will have the U-18 World Championships in Grieskirchen (Austria). Furthermore, the World Tour Final should take place in 2021 again. A very big challenge will be the overlapping with the many other events of all the other sports in the world.
One year ago several changes within the IFA Board and IFA Commissions were made. How satisfied are you with the collaboration within the team?
We are very satisfied. We integrated more people into the Board of Directors, and more people can represent our sport worldwide in a better way. For example, Vicky Buston in the Oceania world, and Giana Hexsel in South America. All those people are working together in friendship an supporting our work in the whole world to get more people to play Fistball.
We are very proud of our team and can say, that without the work of those people such a positive development of Fistball would not have been possible.
To continue our work successfully we are still looking for motivated people to join our team in one of our many commissions, like the youth commission. For example, next year we will appoint a Under 18 representative who supports the work of the commissions.
You can see there is plenty of work to do and we are looking for your help.
What accomplishments this year are you most proud working on most of?
Most of all it was this feeling of friendship and support while working for the Fistball Family. You can really feel that the peoples want to work together and want to implement their ideas. Even when the Covid-19 pandemic forced us to postpone all the events to next year, there was such a positive spirit in the work with our federations all over the world, and that is great to see. In conclusion, all that remains for us to say is, that we are looking forward to the next three years of positive cooperation with the members of the Fistball Family.
Furthermore, the Vice Presidents elected Giana Hexsel (Brazil), Vikki Buston (New Zealand) and Steve Schmutzler (Germany) commented on the year as following:
"It's been an interesting year for sport and Fistball and we've had to adapt so many changes due to the pandemic. I look forward to the tournaments coming up and can't wait to get together with our international Fistball family when we are able to get the chance again."
Vikki Buston (New Zealand)
"As a Doctor, I regret about the Pandemic, but I think we must be patient. Good times will come back, for sure. One year has passed since we took office and I could say I believe we tried to keep our group motivated for better times, trying to organize all the tournaments in another dates and places. I can say from the heart: We are missing the best part: GREAT FISTBALL GAMES❤"
Dr. Giana Hexsel (Brazil)
"Looking back on the first year of our collaboration, the focus is naturally shifting to the second half of the term, which was marked by the Covid-19 pandemic. As the Board of Directors, we had to take a number of difficult decisions and unusual measures. For all of us, the completely new situation was and is a great challenge. But I think we were able to do a good job and look back on a constructive cooperation even under difficult conditions. I think we can look positively into the future and hope that the good cooperation can be continued under "normal" conditions."
Steve Schmutzler (Germany).

Nice form HA. So sad.
Such a strong ekphrasis, HA. I love the color and texture of the painting and how you brought them to life with your well-written poem using that challenging (for me) form.
Oh love your Villanelles. they always get me.. the imagery of sadness and abstract yet very clear imagery… well penned.
How you use the villanelle is impeccable. Your poem made me wonder if some scenes are best not remembered!
quite a powerful moment there…of recalling that moment but then letting it slip…there is a nice irony in the title of this piece amnol…really worked very nice to form as well….
I really liked the line /the drowning balloon as sun/ Like Bjorn, you lurch ever forward unafraid of the constraints & parameters of classic form, & a powerful poem emerges within those restrictions; super congrats on making it seem so effortless.
Villanelle/ekphrasis–I forgot about both in the hold of you stanzas where I was torn between remembering and forgetting a piece of self. Let it blur, let it be no longer! It's like ripping up a heart.
interesting scene…I enjoyed the fourth stanza..well done..
remembering to forget…. sounds weird first but makes total sense… some things we have to recall and fully grab before we're able to let them go..
Really refreshing to see this form carried off so well.
Excellent anmol – sometimes yes we need to remember to forget, powerful from and executed as only you know how.
Enchanting melody mixed with heartbreaking words, I loved it HA, even tho the poem itself requires a far better praise then that, I simply feel bad saying something was beautiful when it hits an emotional nail like this.
love the lilting quality you've captured in this Villanelle form…the words… sad reminders of scenes one would always want to remember (or forget) of a love gone, passionately written yet controlled, very well written.
Villanelles can be very limiting with the precise and necessary repitions; yet you turn that to your advantage. In a poem deleting images and impact of a painting, you break it down and engage the elements of a work by employing them to paint your own picture. Well done.
Written with grace and beauty.

MLB Insurance: Owners, offers MLBPA trade with small modifications; The luxury tax remains unaddressed during the busy week
On Tuesday, MLB owners, representatives from the MLB Players Association and the league met again in Jupiter, Florida, in an effort to end the owner-enforced shutdown that brought Major League Baseball to a halt on December 2. The hearing was the second consecutive day of intense negotiations, in contrast to what was revealed immediately after the shutdown began when owners took 43 days to submit a proposal for a new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).
The MLB said February 28 is the latest in which they can reach a deal for a new CBA agreement without delaying opening day (currently scheduled for March 31), although the MLBPA may not agree. Bargaining sessions are expected every day this week.
Monday's meeting was the longest closed to date. The two sides reportedly met for nearly five hours, though much of that time was spent in separate rooms drafting proposals, which is common during bargaining sessions. The duration of their meeting is not as important as what was said during the meeting. In the end, MLB offered only minor tweaks to its latest proposal.

On Tuesday, it was the players' turn to propose a new framework for the Capacity Building Agreement:
Hana Kiser from Yahoo! That players are still proposing a first-year minimum salary of $775,000 but now with an increase of $30,000 in the second and third years.
Also, Keser et al. reported that the MLB proposed a second time to bring in a federal mediator to advance discussions, and players declined a second time based on their preference to continue direct negotiations with the league:
Tuesday's batch of players' proposals came in response to what the owners submitted on Monday. Here is a summary of what the owners have reportedly offered to start the week:
Increase the total rewards for players before arbitration to $20 million. MLB previously offered $15 million to its top 30 players. The MLBPA is seeking a $115 million bounty to split it among the top 150 players.
Draft Lottery for the top four selections. MLB previously offered a lottery for only the top three picks. The association wants the top eight picks to be decided by lottery.
No change to the previous luxury tax proposal. MLB offers a small increase in tax with much harsher penalties. The MLBPA is seeking to raise the threshold from $210 million to $245 million. More about it here.
They canceled their request to control the total number of minor league teams, In addition to their offer to limit options to five times a season, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.
The two sides remain far apart on what have come to be known as the "core economic issues". These core economic issues include the minimum salary, the competitive balance tax (CBT, also known as the luxury tax on payroll), Salary Arbitration StructureAnd the The size of the total rewards for players before judgingAnd the revenue sharing. Very little negotiation has taken place over CBT, which means that it may eventually stand as the last hurdle. Owners are asking lately when it comes to CBT modification They suggest that they try to put it as an actual salary cap.
By all indications on the MLB side, the 2022 season will not resume – nor will spring training begin – until a new collective bargaining agreement is in place, at least on a conditional basis. MLB can lift the lockdown at any timeallowing baseball to resume under the terms of the old collective bargaining agreement, but the league has shown no willingness to do so.
Ivan Drillic of AthleticThe two sides will meet again on Wednesday, as expected.

Carpets can accumulate a lot of dirt over time. Whether this is mud from the bottom of your shoes or just general dust that gathers on your carpet, it can seep deep into the fibres of your carpet, which makes it difficult to be removed. Vacuuming will remove some of the dirt which is why we recommend vacuuming on a regular basis, but it will not be able to remove the dirt that is deep down (especially if you have a "fluffy" carpet). This is why we recommend that you get your carpets cleaned. Cleaning carpets will allow the accumulated dirt to be penetrated and removed, leaving your carpet fibres clean and soft to the touch (something that we all like the feeling of). So, one of the main reasons you should get your carpets cleaned is hygiene.
The second most important reason is appearance. Carpets can lose their appearance over time (due to the accumulation of dirt, oils etc.), which makes them look unattractive. The thing with carpets is that a dull looking carpet can make even the trendiest and most stylish rooms look unattractive, which is highly undesirable. By cleaning your carpets, you will be able to bring out the best in your carpet, which will once again allow your room (and carpet of course) to look attractive and stylish. Finally, another common reason for cleaning is to remove stains. We have a tendency of dropping things on our carpets – it's almost as if it were a part of our DNA!
Whether it is a red wine stain, or a crayon stain that was created by your very own mini Picasso, they do make a carpet look unattractive, which is undesirable. Having your carpets cleaned will allow carpet cleaners to remove these stains (or at least fade them to the point where they are not very noticeable), bringing out the naturally beauty of your carpet again. If these reasons are not a good reason to clean your carpets, then what is?
Our carpet cleaning services are offered and carried out by the most professional, enthusiastic and qualified cleaners you can imagine. We ensure that our cleaners are trained on a regular basis, to ensure that they are professional and work at a high standard. It also allows us to make sure that our members of staff are on top of the latest cleaning machines etc. They are also educated on the different types of carpets, the different fibres and how each should be cleaned. They also know about the many different cleaners that can be used and the surfaces that they should and should not be used on. All of this means that they will be able to handle your carpet cleaning needs in a way that is not going to negative affect your carpet – no fading, no damage or anything! Just fresh, clean and soft carpet!

My name is Jill and this is my website. Want to know how I built my web business? Well, I did it with Solo Build It. At first I was a little apprehensive about what I was doing because I had no idea where to start or how to put together a website, more less a business. SBI made the process simple and relatively painless. I still have a long way to go, but as you can see I am making progress thanks to SBI.

What do our readers say about "Lone Oak"?
Here's what people are saying about Author Phil Hardy and his new book Lone Oak.
"You tied together the words to create a description so vivid it was almost alive."
"Interesting, Lone Oak, keeps you turning pages to find out what James is doing." Lorainne N.
"I really enjoyed Lone Oak! I finished in one night it was so good."
"Awesome book well written and almost impossible to put down!" Richard H.
I picked up this book just for something to read but once I began reading I couldn't put it down! I don't even read Westerns! Phillip Hardy has a unique way of capturing your interest and you feel as though you are riding on a horse along side him! The details about the western town, the ranch hands and the gun battles put you in the book with the characters! I highly recommend this book!


Dermatologists are now discovering new laser therapies for enhancing tattoo removal treatment.
Tattoos, which may affect a person's skin, can be quite difficult to treat or remove.
According to dermatologist Arielle N B Kauvar, clinical professor of dermatology at New York University School of Medicine, the process of tattoo ink removal is inefficient since every colour of ink absorbs different wavelengths of light, requiring the use of multiple lasers. Some colours – such as yellow, orange, turquoise or fluorescent ones – remain more difficult to treat.
Other research involves the use of the fractional ablative laser in conjunction with traditional tattoo-removal lasers to speed up clearance – resulting in as much as 50 percent tattoo ink removal in just one treatment session.
"The biggest drawbacks to laser tattoo removal are the time, expense, pain and healing involved," said Dr Kauvar.
"The newest techniques being investigated are designed to reduce the number of treatment sessions required to remove a tattoo," he added.
Drinking decaffeinated coffee could improve an individual's memory, a new study has suggested.
According to the researchers of the study, the drink could improve the memory of those suffering from diseases of the brain or age-related forgetfulness, and may even prevent symptoms from appearing in the first place.
They tested their theory by giving a dietary supplement with the same properties of decaffeinated coffee to mice with type 2 diabetic mice.
The disease lowers glucose levels in the brain, causing impairment in memory and other brain functions.
As opposed to a placebo, mice treated with the supplement, for five months showed raised levels of glucose.
"This is the first evidence showing the potential benefits of decaffeinated coffee preparations for both preventing and treating cognitive decline caused by type 2 diabetes, ageing, and, or neurodegenerative disorders," he Telegraph quoted Giulio Maria Pasinetti, the lead researcher from Mount Sinai School in New York as saying.
Coffee is linked to a higher risk of heart disease and stroke, but Pasinetti said these effects were most likely due to the caffeine content in the drink.
Infants outgrowing a liquid diet who give themselves finger food rather than being spoon-fed puree are likelier to eat healthily and avoid getting fat during weaning, reports a study released Tuesday.
Researchers found that the technique, known as "baby-led weaning," led to a child expressing a clear preference for pasta, rice and other carbohydrates over sweets, thus helping to cement a foundation for eating the right foods.
Experts and parents alike have long debated over when and how to help an infant make the transition from mother's milk or the bottle to a solid-food regimen.
Many studies have already concluded that self-feeding with finger food is fine for most infants.
But what impact this approach might have on longer-term taste preferences and a child's overall health has until now been less clear.
Finger food works because it accustomises children to the textures of what they will be eating later, the researchers speculated.

#1,005. The Terror of Tiny Town (1938)
Directed By: Sam Newfield
Starring: Billy Curtis, Yvonne Moray, 'Little Billy' Rhodes
Tag line: "Little Guys with Big Guns!"
Trivia: Many of the performers in this film also appeared in The Wizard of Oz
The Terror of Tiny Town is a lot like Werner Herzog's Even Dwarfs Started Small in that it's set in a world inhabited only by little people. But, unlike Herzog's film, The Terror of Tiny Town is also considered one of the worst movies ever made.
Bat Haines (Little Billy Rhodes) is the film's heavy, and he spends most of the movie trying to spark a feud between two neighboring ranchers, Pop Lawson (John T. Bambury) and Jim Preston (Billy Platt). It isn't long before the Lawsons and Prestons are at each other's throat, but things get a bit more complicated when Buck Lawson (Billy Curtis) falls for Preston's niece, Nancy (Yvonne Moray), and tries to bring an end to the dispute that's tearing the two families apart. Needless to say, Bat is none too happy about this, and, in an effort to stop him, frames Buck for murder.
The Terror of Tiny Town certainly lives up to its reputation as the strangest western/musical ever produced. For one, despite the fact all the townsfolk are of diminutive stature, every building, sidewalk, and piece of furniture in town was built for someone of average height. Otto (Charles Becker), who works as the Preston's cook, can barely reach the top of the stove, and whenever a rider ties his horse up, he walks under the hitching post as opposed to around it. I say "horse", but in reality, the characters in The Terror of Tiny Town ride Shetland ponies, some of which clearly weren't accustomed to life in the wild west (during a gunfight, several ponies rear back in fear whenever a shot rings out). Then, of course, there are the moments of unintentional hilarity, like when the entire saloon breaks into song, singing "Mr. Jack and Mrs. Jill", during which one patron tries to drink an enormous glass of beer and nearly drowns before he gets to the bottom of it!
The Terror of Tiny Town has a lot in common with movies like Plan Nine from Outer Space and Eegah in that, no matter how terrible the film is, it's always fun to watch. The Terror of Tiny Town is, indeed, very bad, and that's what makes it so darn good!

Hockey splits weekend series versus Oakland
Chris Yamnitsky
Kent State hockey split its weekend series versus Oakland this past weekend. The Flashes (9-5-2) will face-off with Rochester College (9-9-1) Friday and Saturday night.
A highly-offensive game came down to the wire for the Kent State Hockey Club as it came out on top over the Oakland University Grizzlies with a 6-5 victory.
"Our offense was firing on all cylinders," said coach Jim Underwood. "We had a smaller lineup tonight so we only had three lines of forwards and we got offense from all three lines, which is really good for our team.
Six different Flashes tallied goals in the game with freshmen Xavier Sudlow and Connor Ganley registering their first goals as Flashes. Sophomores Jon Buttitta and Chance Taylor and junior T.J. West also scored goals for the Flashes.
A last minute penalty by the Flashes gave the Grizzlies a chance to tie the game. With the Grizzlies pulling their goaltender, the Flashes had to battle off a six on four for the last 1:18 seconds of the game to pull out with a win.
"Our guys did a phenomenal job. They played good positional hockey," Underwood said. "They had their bodies in shooting lanes, sticks in passing lanes and they (Oakland) really didn't get any other chances the rest of the game."
Sophomore goaltender Sky Buller stopped 31 of the 36 shots he faced, while the Flashes ended with the lead in shots at 37. The Flashes take on the Grizzles again on Saturday night at 8:45 in Rochester.
"One of our focuses is going to have a fast start. In our first five minutes of the game we need to set the tone of the game and sustain some offensive pressure," said Underwood. "We do need to tighten up a little in our defensive zone. Last night wasn't our best defensive performance by giving up five goals but all we need to do is get grittier in front of our net, help our goaltender with some blocked shots and dig a little harder for those loose rebounds and get them out of harms way."
A slow start to the game led to the Kent State Hockey Club falling to Oakland University Grizzlies 6-2 Saturday night.
"We came out flat," said Underwood. "Oakland had a lot of energy and was ready to go."
Buttitta scored both goals for the Flashes giving him a total of four points in the two games against Oakland.
"The thing about Johnny is that he is one of the hardest working guys out there," Underwood said. "He generates a lot of time and space on the ice and always plays for the team. He is developing into a young leader on this team."
"We are pretty banged up right now so we are going to have to plan practice around getting a few of the guys some rest," Underwood said. "For defense, we need to work on quick release and having the confidence to shoot through traffic. On offense we need work on supporting the puck this week. We just need to work hard and prepare for two very important league games next weekend."

Eeek! Those lizard are creepy big! Don't worry about crazy eyes. Worry about their crazy tongues. 😀 I've seen mangroves before but not as full and tall as the ones here. It sounds like an awesome hike with good variety of things to see along the way.
I have loved this post series MonaLiza! The Philippines is on our bucket list. When it floats to the top, I will be giving you a call for more tips. I don't see how you managed that hike in flip flops.
There are a lot of pristine untouched natural wonders in this island that we plan to visit the north end end next time.
I think my flip-flops were not the flimsy ones,(the ones you buy in Hawaii) that is why I survived despite the mountainous terrain.
What an adventure you guys embarked on intaking those tours! I am so glad you went, as I was enjoying your phtos with wonder. I love seeing Old Growth Forests and the old growth mangroves did not disappoint. I for one welcome any other posts from your home country! Just beautiful, and so different from Atlanta, where we live.
Holly we did have lots of fun and adventure. We will go back again someday.
I'm so glad both you and Steve shared your trip with us — your adventures make our life in the States seem really tame by comparison! I love those little blue crabs and the gorgeous walkways through the jungle. I wouldn't be so excited about getting up close to a monitor lizard, though. You're braver than I am! And I also cannot believe that you were able to hike six miles in flip-flops!! Your poor feet!
I know Laurel,hiking was not in the plan until we got there. I too was amazed I survived the flip flop 😦 There are lots of beautiful untouched beauty in Palawan. We are thinking of going back there and explore other parts.
Oh I am so glad you took that tour. I loved looking at those gorgeous photos. What a wonderful adventure.
What are you doing so close to that lizard. You make me nervous! But I like the way you end your day!
Those tree trunks and roots are really impressive. I'm so jealous of Steve's hammock. I haven't been in one for ages. 🙂 That lizard looks bigger than you!
Well I'm really sorry to see your posts on the Philippines end. I really liked them. This one is amazing too. Your opening picture is just terrific. What a gorgeous spot. I can't believe you managed to hike over that terrain in flip flops. Lots of folks would be lucky to do that 6 miles in hiking boots. The big trees just make me so happy. I'd love to hug one. But the best thing is the picture of you with that giant lizard. Good grief what if he walked into your backyard? Steve sure has a heavenly spot for the hammock nap. I'm so sorry this is over. Drat!
Sherry, that flip flops were the ones sold in Hawaii which is actually a comfy one. But still I won't do it again, it was a tough hike. The monitor lizard actually walked into peoples backyard but they are now protected so no one catches them.
Our cave adventure was the highlight of our trip, so many amazing natural wonders to experience.
Love the amazing variety you saw on that hike. Seems like you had an amazing visit to both your home town and your island getaway! Thanks for sharing!
It was a tough hike yet the diversity we saw was pretty awesome.
Ha ha yes, no way will I hike on flip flops again 😦 I was too unprepared when we went there. I had many more pictures especially of the rock formations on the beach! If and When we visit again, we will go to the other parts of the island which has more untouched natural wonders.

Money laundering - high value dealers
Regulations aimed at preventing money laundering, place procedural requirements on businesses that deal in goods and accept large cash payments. A business is defined as a High Value Dealer where it deals in goods and accepts cash equivalent to €10,000 or more in any currency. If you have a business in this category in the London area we, at Elman Wall, can assist on a number of matters relating to the regulations.
The Money Laundering Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 (the Regulations) apply to a number of different businesses which include (amongst others) accountants and auditors, tax advisers and dealers in high value goods. The Regulations contain detailed procedural anti-money laundering requirements for those affected.
HMRC have been given the responsibility for supervising High Value Dealers. We outline below the main requirements of the Regulations and the registration process.
Which businesses are affected?
Businesses that meet the definition of a High Value Dealer (HVD) are affected by the Regulations.
A business is defined as a HVD where it deals in goods and accepts or makes cash payments equivalent to €10,000 or more in any currency, including where a customer deposits cash directly into the HVD's bank account or when they pay cash to a third party for the benefit of the HVD. This applies whether the transaction is executed as a single transaction or in several instalments which are linked.
Businesses that only occasionally accept or make such transactions are included. Businesses that do not accept large amounts of cash or deal in services are not affected.
Generally the businesses most affected will be those that deal in high value or luxury goods, works of art, cars, jewellery and yachts.
However, the regime applies to everyone who accepts sufficiently large amounts of cash for goods and any business could potentially be registrable.
If a HVD does not intend to accept high value payments it should have a written policy to this effect and ensure that employees and customers are aware of this policy.
How is my business affected?
If your business does deal in goods and does accept or make large cash payments then you are required to:
put anti money laundering systems in place so that you can identify and prevent money laundering and report any suspicious transactions (see below)
register with HMRC
pay an annual fee based on the number of premises through which you trade. There is also an application charge for new registrations
report any changes through the registration year
If you are unsure whether you will sell goods for this amount and do not register, you will be obliged to refuse any payments or refunds in cash equivalent to €10,000 (or more) or insist upon payment by another means, such as cheque, credit or debit card.
Background to the requirements
Why was this regime introduced?
The aim of the regime is to help protect society and to combat money laundering and the criminal activity which underlies it, including terrorism.
As money launderers have resorted to more sophisticated ways of disguising the source of their funds, new legislation and regulation aimed at catching those involved became necessary.
The primary legislation is predominantly contained within the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 and the Terrorism Act 2000 as amended by the Terrorism Act 2006 and subsequently the Counter-Terrorism Act 2008.
The 2017 Regulations implement the EU Fourth Money Laundering Directive which aims to further improve and tighten the regime to tackle money laundering and terrorist financing.
What is money laundering?
Money laundering is the process by which criminally obtained money or other assets (criminal property) are exchanged for 'clean' money or other assets with no obvious link to their criminal origins.
Criminal property
Criminal property represents the proceeds of criminal conduct. This includes any conduct wherever it takes place, which would constitute a criminal offence if committed in the UK. It not only includes, for example, drug trafficking, tax evasion, fraud, forgery and theft but also any other criminal offence committed for profit.
It is important therefore to remember that money laundering includes the proceeds of any crime and not simply the more traditionally associated crimes such as drug trafficking and prostitution.
Under the legislation there are three principal money laundering offences covering criminal activity and two related money laundering offences:
concealing, disguising, converting, transferring or removing (from the United Kingdom) criminal property
making arrangements which facilitate the acquisition, retention, use or control of criminal property by or on behalf of another person
acquiring, using or possessing criminal property
failure to disclose knowing or suspecting or having reasonable grounds for knowing or suspecting that another person is engaged in money laundering or terrorist funding
revealing that a disclosure of suspicion of money laundering has been made or that an investigation into money laundering offences is being carried out, or considered, where this is likely to prejudice an investigation. This is known as 'tipping off'.
HVDs must be aware of how these actions could affect their business, for example, as the proceeds of crime are spent (or laundered) within their business
The importance of the regime
The law imposes very severe penalties on anyone involved in money laundering. The Regulations require HVDs to adopt anti money laundering procedures to protect themselves against abuse by money launderers and the risk of prosecution.
The registration process
HVDs register with HMRC using their online service. If you already have a Government Gateway account you will use this User ID and password to sign in, but otherwise you can register for an account as part of this process.
HMRC will review your application, but this can take up to 45 days. Remember that you cannot accept or make any cash payments over €10,000 until you are registered. You will receive an email when a decision has been made on your application, but you will need to sign into your account to see that decision.
Registration is required where a business:
accepts or makes payments the equivalent of €10,000 or more in cash for a single transaction or in instalments which are linked or
takes a policy decision to carry out such transactions.
Every legal entity through which a HVD business is run must be registered. From 1 December 2017 an initial fee of £100 is payable for registration and an additional charge of £130 for each of the premises listed on the application. Annual renewals of £130 per premise apply. The 2017 Regulations require approval tests of 'key personnel' to check for relevant criminal convictions. This is a non-refundable charge of £40 per person.
Businesses that fail to register could be liable to a civil penalty if they carry out a HVD transaction.
What anti money laundering policies and procedures are required?
Your business should establish, review and maintain policies and procedures relating to:
customer due diligence
risk assessment and management
the monitoring and management of compliance
the internal communication of these policies and procedures.
Customer due diligence (CDD)
HVDs must establish the identity of any customer who makes or is refunded a total cash payment equivalent to €10,000 or more for a single transaction or linked transactions.
Establishing identity requires you to be satisfied that your customer is who they claim to be by obtaining evidence of their name, address and date of birth. For further information on CDD procedures please refer to the Money Laundering and Proceeds of Crime factsheet.
The HVD must carry out a risk assessment to identify and assess the risks of money laundering and terrorist financing to which the business is subject. You must write this down, together with any underlying information that you used to make that assessment (for instance the countries in which you operate, the goods you sell, the nature of your customers etc).
Appoint an individual as the officer responsible for compliance
The Regulations require, where it is appropriate to the size and nature of your business, a member of the board (or equivalent), or senior management, to be the officer responsible for compliance with the Regulations. HMRC, as your supervisory body, must be informed of the identity of this individual when first appointed and any subsequent changes.
Appoint a Money Laundering Nominated Officer (MLNO)
This is a very important role within a HVD business and should be performed by a suitably senior person. This person can also be the person who is the officer responsible for compliance with the Regulations and again HMRC must be informed of their identity.
The main roles of the MLNO should be to:
establish the necessary procedures to implement the requirements of the Regulations
receive and review reports of possible money laundering from others involved in the business
decide whether to report to the National Crime Agency ( NCA).
Establish an independent audit function to assess compliance
HVDs should ensure they check that their policies are appropriate and are being properly implemented. Where necessary changes should be made to ensure everything is working properly. Larger organisations will be expected to achieve this by establishing an independent audit function, but smaller businesses might do this with perhaps an annual internal or external check of their procedures.
Screen relevant employees
When hiring new staff who will be involved in any aspect of compliance with the Regulations (eg taking large cash payments) the HVD must screen them to ensure they have the appropriate knowledge and skills for the job and to assess their conduct and integrity.
The NCA is the government body to which all suspicions of money laundering should be reported via the NCA website.
There will be times when an internal report of suspected money laundering is received by the MLNO, where the transaction is not yet complete. Under these circumstances there are specific NCA procedures to follow and you must wait until the NCA gives consent for the transaction to go ahead.
Training your staff
All customer facing staff in the business must be trained to be aware of:
the law regarding money laundering offences and terrorist financing
how to recognise and deal with suspicious transactions.
Staff should be trained regularly on this subject and training should be repeated to ensure that staff knowledge is maintained and they are competent to apply CDD procedures. The ongoing training should ensure that staff are aware of changing money laundering practices.
Managing the risk
HVDs should:
have a system in place to record all transactions of €10,000 or more on their accounting system and make them identifiable
have policies and procedures in place concerning the acceptance of these large transactions.
The records that must be kept are :
a copy of, or the references to, the evidence of the customer's identity obtained under the CDD procedures
the supporting evidence and records in respect of the business relationships and occasional transactions which are the subject of CDD measures or ongoing monitoring.
In relation to the evidence of a customer's identity, businesses must keep the following records:
a copy of the identification documents accepted and verification evidence obtained, or
references to the evidence of a customer's identity.
How long must the records be retained for?
Evidence of a customer's identity must be kept for 5 years beginning on the date on which the occasional transaction is completed or the business relationship ends.
Records of transactions must be kept for 5 years beginning on the date on which the transaction is completed.
All other records must be kept for 5 years beginning on the date on which the business relationship ends.
You must be able to rapidly respond to a query from the police or other appropriate investigator regarding a customer or past customer.
Failure to comply
Businesses may be liable to a civil penalty for failing to comply with a registration requirement. There is no upper limit on the amount of the penalty. Penalties will be for an amount that is considered appropriate for the purposes of being effective, proportionate and dissuasive.
Failing to comply with responsibilities under the Regulations could lead to either prosecution or a civil penalty. Conviction under the Regulations can incur up to two years imprisonment and / or an unlimited fine.

Q: How do I use GHCSlave without signing errors? I have gotten ghc-slave to build for an iPhone 6S running iOS 12.0.1. I put this into a helper script so that I don't confuse cabal with constantly changing IP addresses:
connect_to_iphone
#!/bin/bash
exec iserv-proxy "$@" <iphone ip> <port>

I started GHCSlave on the iPhone, and I trusted my developer certificate as it asked.
I then cloned singletons, and tried to compile it.
git clone https://github.com/goldfirere/singletons
cd singletons
cabal --with-ghc=aarch64-apple-ios-ghc \
      --with-ghc-pkg=aarch64-apple-ios-ghc-pkg \
      --with-gcc=aarch64-apple-ios-clang \
      --with-ld=aarch64-apple-ios-ld \
      --hsc2hs-options=--cross-compile \
      --disable-shared \
      --configure-option=--host=aarch64-apple-ios
      --ghc-options=-fexternal-interpreter \
      --ghc-options=-pgmi=/path/to/connect_to_iphone
      new-configure
cabal new-build

When building th-lift-instances, TH was first needed. GHCSlave on the iPhone showed that the libraries were being sent over to run the TH. However, the moment execution of the TH actually began, GHCSlave crashed. The logs from XCode show

Exception Type:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGKILL - CODESIGNING)

Termination Reason: Namespace CODESIGNING, Code 0x2

I'm not sure where to get started fixing this. How do I use GHCSlave without signing errors?

Altice Europe N : Agreement on Recommended All-Cash Offer of EUR 4.11 Per Share for All Common Shares A and Common Shares B in the Capital of Altice Europe by Next Private B.V.
This is a joint press release by Altice Europe N.V. ("Altice Europe") and Next Private B.V. (the "Offeror"), a direct subsidiary of Next Alt S.à r.l, the majority shareholder of Altice Europe, pursuant to the provisions of Section 4, paragraphs 1 and 3, Section 5, paragraph 1 and Section 7, paragraph 4 of the Netherlands Decree in Public Takeover Bids (Besluit openbare biedingen Wft) (the "Decree") in connection with the intended public offer by the Offeror for all the issued and outstanding common shares A and common shares B in the capital of Altice Europe (the "Offer"). This announcement does not constitute an offer, or any solicitation of any offer, to buy or subscribe for any securities. Any offer will be made only by means of an offer memorandum (the "Offer Memorandum") approved by the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (Autoriteit Financiële Markten) (the "AFM"). This announcement is not for release, publication or distribution, in whole or in part, in or into, directly or indirectly, the United States, Canada and Japan or in any other jurisdiction in which such release, publication or distribution would be unlawful.
Agreement on recommended all-cash offer of EUR 4.11 per share for all common shares A and common shares B in the capital of Altice Europe by Next Private B.V.
Amsterdam, the Netherlands, 11 September 2020
Altice Europe, a leader in the cable, telecommunications and entertainment sector, and the Offeror are pleased to announce that a conditional agreement (the "Merger Agreement") has been reached on a recommended public offer (the "Offer") to be made by the Offeror for all common shares A and common shares B in the capital of Altice Europe (each a "Share") for EUR 4.11 in cash per Share (cum dividend) (the "Offer Price"). This represents a total consideration of approximately EUR 2.5bn. Following the Offer, the Offeror wishes to delist Altice Europe (the "Delisting", together with the Offer and, to the extent relevant, any Post- Offer Restructuring (as defined below) with a view of obtaining 100% of the Shares, the "Transaction"). The Transaction will enable Altice Europe to further enhance the sustainable and long-term success of its business under the private ownership of the Offeror. The board of Altice Europe (the "Board") believes the Transaction is in the best interest of Altice Europe, its employees, customers, shareholders, debt providers and other stakeholders.
Transaction highlights
Conditional agreement reached on public offer for Altice Europe of EUR 4.11 in cash (cum dividend) for each common share A and each common share B
The Offer Price represents a premium of 23.8% over the closing price on 10 September 2020 and a premium of approximately 16.5% over the 180 day VWAP
The Offeror is controlled by the founder and majority shareholder of Altice Europe, who fully supports Altice Europe's long-term strategy and is committed to the long-term interests of Altice Europe and its stakeholders
Thorough process conducted by the non-conflicted directors, including all independent, non-executive directors, safeguarding the independence of the deliberations and decision- making
After having carefully reviewed the Transaction, the Board believes that the Transaction is in the best interests of Altice Europe, the sustainable success of its business and therefore its shareholders, customers, employees, finance providers and other stakeholders
The Board fully supports and unanimously recommends the Offer
The Offeror has committed financing in place providing certainty of funds
The Offer is subject to certain customary conditions and is expected to complete in Q1 2021
Following the Offer, the Offeror intends to delist Altice Europe
Patrick Drahi, the Offeror:
"The proposed transaction announced today will result in a new and exciting chapter for Altice Europe and our stakeholders. Following the Group reorganization in 2018, Altice Europe has successfully executed on the operational and financial turnaround strategy. Over the same period, Altice Europe has made outstanding progress in simplifying and strengthening its diversified capital structure. The proposed ownership structure will enable an increased focus on executing our long-term strategy, and underlines my confidence and conviction in Altice Europe's prospects. Altice Europe has a unique asset base, fully converged and fibre rich, with a leading position and nationwide fixed and mobile coverage across markets. With my ongoing personal involvement, Altice Europe will maintain the fundamental Altice Model at heart. I am excited to continue leading Altice Europe's loyal management and thei r excellent teams. Altice Europe continues to have tremendous opportunities ahead."
Jurgen van Breukelen, Chairman of Altice Europe:
"Right from the start of the process in early August, we have followed a careful, full and thorough process with all four independent non-executive directors and the non-conflicted executive director. Our focus has been on determining the best way forward for Altice Europe and its business, while safeguarding the interests of all stakeholders involved. This transaction will allow Altice Europe to more successfully and effectively achieve its goals in a private and fully owned environment, benefiting from the founder's ongoing long term commitment to the business."
Strategic rationale
Altice Europe and the Offeror believe that having Altice Europe operate without a public listing under 100% control by the founder is better for the sustainable success of its business and long-term value creation, as the disadvantages of the listing materially outweigh the benefits and the business can more successfully focus on the long-term following delisting in a wholly privately owned set-up, including pursuant to the following advantages:
increasing the ability of Altice Europe and its subsidiaries (the "Group") to achieve the goals and implement the actions of its strategy;
increasing the ability to implement and focus on achieving long-term strategic goals and operational achievements of Altice Europe, as opposed to short-term performance driven by quarterly reporting;
increasing the ability to achieve an efficient capital structure (notably from a financing perspective), and a simplification of the legal holding structure;
reducing the Group's costs (e.g. listing, financial reporting and board costs will decrease and there will no longer be a requirement for physical general meetings of Altice Europe);
as debt providers will focus more on fundamental valuation and credit analysis, having better access to the bond and bank markets independent of the daily and volatile share price fluctuations and thus decrease borrowing costs; and
avoiding the current volatility of the prices of the Shares, which will (i) enable the opportunity to improve the effectiveness of employee incentive plans, and thus better align the senior management with the business strategy of the Group and improve the retention of the employees of the Group and (ii) improve Altice Europe's reputation and relationship with clients, employees, finance providers, suppliers and local governments.
The Offeror fully supports the long-term strategy of the Group and the Offeror and Altice Europe believe that a delisting will enhance the ability to execute on the long -term strategy.
Transaction structure
The minority shareholders of Altice Europe will receive a cash consideration of EUR 4.11 for each Share (cum dividend). The Offer Price values 100% of the outstanding Shares at approximately EUR 4.9bn.
The Offer Price represents the following premiums:
a premium of 23.8% to Altice Europe's closing price on 10 September 2020 of EUR 3.32;
a premium of 16.5% to Altice Europe's volume-weighted average price for the 180 days up to and including 10 September 2020 of EUR 3.53.
Support and recommendation by the Board
Since the initial expression of interest of the Offeror, the Board has followed a thorough process where the independence of the deliberations and decision-making has been carefully safeguarded. The President, the Vice-President and the CEO, executive members of the Board, have been determined to have a conflict of interest within the meaning of article 2:129(6) Dutch Civil Code, and hence have not participated in the deliberations and decision - making of the Board with respect to the Transaction.
Consistent with its fiduciary responsibilities, the Board (which, unless specifically stated otherwise, excludes the President, the Vice-President and the CEO for the purpose of this announcement), with the support of its financial and legal advisors, has carefully reviewed the Transaction and has given careful consideration to all aspects of the Transaction, including strategic, financial, operational and social points of view. The Board has taken the interests of all stakeholders, including the minority shareholders, into careful consideration. The Board has unanimously determined that the Offer Price represents a fair price and attractive premium to Altice Europe's shareholders, as well as favourable non-financial terms to the other stakeholders who will also benefit through their continued involvement with Altice Europe in the private set-up. The Board concludes that the Transaction (including the Offer) promotes the sustainable success of Altice Europe's business and is in the interest of Altice Europe and its stakeholders, including its employees, customers, debt providers and shareholders.
The Board unanimously supports the Transaction, recommends the Offer for acceptance by the holders of Shares and recommends to Altice Europe's shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions relating to the Offer (the "Resolutions") at the upcoming extraordinary general meeting of Altice Europe (the "EGM") to be held during the offer period. In reaching its recommendation, the Board has taken into account the interests of all stakeholders. The non- conflicted members of the Board have committed to tender their Shares in the Offer and to vote in favour of the Resolutions at the EGM.
Lazard Frères SAS ("Lazard") has issued a fairness opinion to the Board and LionTree Advisors LLC ("'LionTree'") has issued a fairness opinion to the Non-Executive Directors, in each case as to the fairness, as of such date, and based upon and subject to the factors, assumptions, qualifications and other matters set forth in each fairness opinion, to the effect that, each of the Offer Price, the Share Sale Price (as defined below) and the Sale Price (as defined below) is fair to the holders of Shares from a financial point of view and that the consideration or proceeds payable to shareholders in a possible Post-Offer Restructuring (as defined below) is fair from a financial point of view. The full text of such fairness opinions, each of which sets forth the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken in connection with each such opinion, will be included in the Board's position statement. The opinions of Lazard and LionTree are given to the Board and the Non-Executive Directors, respectively, and not to the holders of Shares. As such, the fairness opinions do not contain a recommendation to the holders of Shares as to whether they should tender their Shares under the Offer (if and when made) or how they should vote or act with respect to the Resolutions or any other matter.
The Board may amend or revoke its recommendation in relation to the Offer and Post -Offer Restructuring if any material event, material development, material circumstance or material change in circumstances or facts occurs or arises that causes the Board to determine, after consultation with its legal and financial advisors and the Offeror, that the failure to amend or revoke the recommendation is inconsistent with the fulfilment of its fiduciary duties.

This is a selection from the maps of the Middle East published in Time Magazine between 1942 and 1969. The segments before, between 1923 and 1941, and after, from 1970 to today, will be shown on other occasions. Most of the published maps are geopolitical or war maps, some are of archeological or religious interest. They show the shift of power and focus, and thus of territory, from the crumbling of the British Empire in the 20th century, to the independence and the birth of new nations in the post-war area, a process going hand in hand with the dynamics of the Cold War and the confrontation of the American and Soviet spheres of influence.
As far as we know, history's earliest world map was scratched on clay tablets around 600 B.C. in the city of Babylon, which was located at the Euphrates River, about 100 kilometers south of Bagdad, Iraq. Egyptian, Assyrian and Persian civilizations were of great influence to the Greek and Roman civilizations, which were in turn foundational alongside the Abrahamic religions – Judaism, Christianity and Islam – to our present-day Western civilization. Even so, the recent cartography of the Middle East is not exempt of Orientalism-based imperialism and colonialism. Insofar as an Empire draws the maps of the regions under their influence, it also draws a portrait of itself. The term "Middle East" itself, like the previously common terms "Orient" or "Near East", positions Europe at the center in the geography of the world map with regard to the strategic lands which provide the "West" with access to resources and military advantage.

It's official! I'm in the mission field. Leaving the CCM was really hard... Other missionaries have compared this to Adam and Eve being cast out of the Garden of Eden, which I would deem an accurate analogy. But we are so blessed because all of the Hermanas in our District are serving in Lima North. We get to see each other at training in the mission home, and we are planning a PDay with all of the Hermanas! It should be fun.
My mission president is President Erickson from Las Vegas, Nevada. I feel dumb, because I forgot to copy the address to the mission home. I'll definitely bring it with me next week. Our president is just about as new as we are. Him and his wife have been in Lima for about 5 weeks now.
I'm officially in a trio! My companions are Hermana Shelton (from my District in the CCM. She is from Lyndon, UT.), and Hermana Mamani from Araquipa. I'm so grateful to have someone I can communicate with in English. Hermana Mamani has been so patient with both of us learning Spanish. It's been an adventure for sure. We are serving in Independencia, in the Violetas ward.
Our house... It's a humble abode. It's actually pretty big, but a lot of the bedrooms are locked because we aren't supposed to be alone in any rooms. We have our study area downstairs, and our dressing room, bedroom, and bathroom upstairs. The bathrooms here are a little sketch... There isn't enough pressure to flush toilet paper, so you have to put it in a bag or basket. They advertise scented toilet papers to make this less, well, gross. But it's still super gross. You have to turn on the water heater before you take a shower, and if you get too close to the shower head you can feel the electricity. I get a quad workout everytime I shower. Quite the adventure, living in Peru.
Food: We have a pensionista (sp), Hermana Berta, for breakfast and dinner, and we eat lunch with members of the ward. We eat a lot of bread, quinoa con leche, rice, rice, rice, chicken, veggies, etc. They have a drink called chicha morada that is made from purple corn, and we have that at almost every meal. We have Ecco (the herbal tea equivalent of coffee) and herbal tea all the time. I've found that I really enjoy fried bananas, chaufa (kind of like fried rice), and alfajores (super delicious cookies filled with caramel and covered in powdered sugar). There are tons of bakeries and street vendors here. I've been lucky thusfar as far as digesting the food... knock on wood.
The families in our ward are so gracious. I love them so much. They are always so excited to have us over for lunch, and they feed us so stinking much. I'm pretty certain that I'm putting on weight. I'm especially grateful for the Diestra family. Their son Anthony just got home from his mission in Chile three weeks ago, so he has been super helpful with visiting inactive members and going to teach lessons with us. They have been soooo willing to help us, and invited us over after a rough day for peanut butter sandwiches. Keep taking care of the missionaries, because the members here are definitely taking care of us.
As far as emailing is concerned, I'm always so excited to hear from all of you! It's hard to reply because we only have an hour to write the mission president and everyone else, so letters are easier for me to send a heartfelt reply to. I'll get the address next week.
After a rough morning, Hermano Anthony shared a really awesome video with me from Elder Holland. He expressed the similarities between the Atonement of our Savior and the work of missionaries. I think it can be applied to a lot of aspects of life. We are not the first ones to ask if there is no other way... The Lord has been lower and experienced more than we can ever comprehend. We shouldn't seek sorrow and trials, but when we have them, we need to have confidence that we can stand tall. We are standing shoulder to shoulder with our Savior.
I love you all! Much love from Peru.
Hermana Shelton, Hermana Mamani and Me.


On the right-hand side of the worksheet, you can see what the Net Revenue would look like if you doubled the amount of A & B performers, while at the same time reduced your C & D performers by 50%.
To complete the ROI worksheet, fill in the red sections.
Begin by determining how many A performers you have in the position, followed by B, C, and D performers. (Keep in mind that this typically results in the 80/20 rule, where 80% of the work is being performed by the top 20% of your employees). If you have more than 50% A & B performers, you may want to look at what those employees are acutally producing.
Next, fill out the compensation for each group of performers. (Hopefully they are producing more than you are paying them).
This will tell you what the Net Revenue is for your current position.
Lastly, enter the turnover % in each group. (If 1 out of 5 B performers have left in the last year, enter 20%).
