The IQ Competence Centre for Counselling and Job Training of Migrants in cooperation with the IQ Competence Centre for Securing Skill Base supports the implementation of § 17a of the German Residence Act with a new guideline in English. This guide, which was originally published in German, aims to provide all relevant stakeholders with a practical, easy-to-understand summary of the main steps, players and requirements involved in the procedures around Section 17a of the German Residence Act.
Section 17a of the German Residence Act entered into force on 1 August 2015, introducing a new channel for the entry and residence of skilled migrants from third countries. This residence permit, which has a duration of up to 18 months, is targeted at foreign professionals who have undergone a German procedure for credential assessment and have obtained only a partial recognition of their qualifications.
The new provision gives them the opportunity to come to Germany to complete the necessary compensation measures, obtain full equivalence, and thus become able to work in their professions. Once they obtain full professional recognition, residence permit holders are entitled to stay in the country to seek work for up to one year.


Councils are calling for a radical overhaul of the system for supporting unaccompanied children who are seeking asylum. In a response to the consultation process, 'Planning Better Outcomes and Support for Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children', the Local Government Association branded present arrangements unfair.
The Home Office has said it wants better procedures for identifying and supporting unaccompanied children who are the victims of trafficking as well as a system of specialist local authorities to ensure the children receive only the services they need. It is also proposing new measures to assess age in order to ensure children and adults are not accommodated together and to ensure there are faster decisions on immigration status.
Councillor Lawrence said local authorities were caught in a conflict between immigration laws and children's rights laws. He called for the proposals to locate unaccompanied asylum seeking children only with specialist authorities to be tested through pilots. "Councils that become specialist authorities must be properly funded, including investment from the Government for the cost of continuing to care for young people until the age of 21," he said.
The LGA accepts that children and families whose requests for asylum fail need to be removed, but it wants to see a process for doing this that is sensitive as well as effective and it believes children should always be offered care and support while an application is being processed.

When Lewis Barnavelt and his uncle Jonathan vacation in Europe, they are looking forward to meeting their English cousin Pelham. At Barnavelt Manor Lewis befriends the housekeeper's son Bertie and together they explore the mansion and grounds. But in the garden maze Lewis accidently unleashes demonic forces that summon the ghost of the wicked Malachiah Pruitt. Three hundred years earlier Pruitt had accused one of Lewis's ancestors of witchery and tried to have him burned at the stake. Now Pruitt's ghost has returned. Can Lewis fight the maniacal wizard or will all the Barnavelts perish?
The Vengeance of the Witch-Finder (1993), by John Bellairs and completed by Brad Strickland, is the fifth book in the Lewis Barnavelt series.
It was like running through molasses, or like trying to run with concrete blocks strapped to both feet. And he heard a horrible sound of thick breathing, as if some monstrous giant lay hidden just out of his sight. The humid air smelled moldy and rank, the smell of decaying plants and slimy earthworms and damp dirt. Somehow, one of the awful bushes suddenly sprang up right in front of him. He tried to stop, but the waving grass felt like the ocean pounding against his legs. It swept him forward, inch by inch. And as it pushed him closer, he saw something dreadful. At the base of the bush sat a human skeleton. The red shoots of the bush grew through its ribs, caressing them, clamping them, and holding the skeleton in position. The skull lolled down on the ribs. As the grass shoved Lewis forward, the skull slowly rose. The bush was growing as Lewis watched, like plants he had seen in a stop-motion movie film. The fleshless skull tipped back and back until he could see the face.
Green-glass spectacles covered the eye sockets.
"Bertie!" screamed Lewis. Only his voice came out as a whisper that ripped his throat.
The skull's jaw dropped open. It appeared to laugh silently at him. And then the glasses moved. Red twigs grew out of the eye sockets, waving and squirming like handfuls of worms. The horrible, writhing shoots pushed the glasses off. The spectacles dropped to the ground.

The internet went into flames yesterday after a video of Osun state Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) governorship candidate, Ademola Adeleke twerking emerged.
Adeleke, who is currently a Senator of the Federal republic of Nigeria, became more prominent after several videos of him, dancing hit social media. The Senator, became known as the dancing senator to the admiration of some fans and displeasure of critics.
However, a video of a man dancing or better still, twerking at a wedding quickly drew social media attention, after some people concluded that it was the 'Dancing' senator.
Reactions to the video have hit the rooftop as many have condemned the Senator, a governorship aspirant of behaving himself in public in that manner.
The man in the video is not as big in size as the Senator and definitely not as light-skinned – Therefore, we believe that the man twerking to the floor in that video is not the lawmaker.

FIBA 3x3 World Tour Doha 2020: One question for the top teams
DOHA (Qatar) - The FIBA 3x3 World Tour is back and the best players and teams in the world are coming to Doha. We take a closer look at each top contender and what questions they need to answer ahead of the Masters.
Can Liman avenge last year's second-place finish in Doha?
After three 2020 World Tour events, Liman, the number one team is the FIBA 3x3 Team Rankings, dominated their opponents once again, winning the Debrecen and Europe Masters. Stefan Stojacic aka 'Mr. Robot' was playing again like the best player in the world, and with Novi Sad not participating in this tournament, Liman are the clear favorites. Not to be outdone, Stefan Kojic, the Europe Masters MVP, comes into the tournament as the highest-ranked individual player in the field. Following last year's final loss in Doha, will Liman roll through the field on their way to a rematch with Lasmanis and Riga?
A post shared by FIBA3x3 (@fiba3x3)
Can they repeat in Doha?
Since winning at the Doha Masters in 2019, Karlis Lasmanis, Nauris Miezis, and their Riga teammates have been one of the best teams on the World Tour. The offensive juggernaut is second in PPG (19.9), boasting three of four most prolific World Tour scorers so far, earning enough confidence to take on anyone. With Liman in their view, Lasmanis, aka 'Batman', is laser-focused on helping the team take over as the number one team on the World Tour 2020. Can they defend their Doha title and jump Novi Sad in the standings?
NY Harlem
Can they win without Brutus and King?
NY Harlem come with a never-seen before roster to Doha. Missing: their top shooter (Kidani Brutus, Achilles injury) and their best offensive weapon in Debrecen (Joey King, unavailable). Both were key players in Lausanne last year when the New Yorkers won their one and only Masters title. 'Super Dave' David Seagers and World Tour rookie Egzon Gjonbalaj will have to step up their game for NY Harlem to be a contender in Qatar. But don't sleep on the 4th team in the standings just yet, still featuring one of the best defenders in the game Marcel Esonwune and last year's World Tour regular season MVP, 'Disco Domo' Jones.
Can they shake off the rust?
It's been over a calendar year since Princeton has played in a competitive 3x3 game, which begs the question, are they ready? Kareem Maddox, the 3rd ranked American, recently mentioned that the team is going to have to try and get their groove back on the fly. While everyone has been working out individually, there is no game quite as intense as 3x3. The American team was on fire to end the 2019 World Tour season, winning their first Masters in Los Angeles, and then finishing second at the Utsunomiya Final. Will we see a return to form or will it take a while to shake off the rust, especially without their top player Robbie Hummel?
Is there any team more intriguing than Utena Uniclub?
Utena Uniclub (LTU) comes into the Doha Masters as the 12th ranked team, yet they feel like one of the favorites. After winning the Hoptrans 3x3 Final, they proved that they belong amongst the best 3x3 teams in Lithuania. When they finished second at the Debrecen Masters, they showed they can compete with the best in the world. After playing in just one 3x3 World Tour event, Utena ranks as the number 9 team in the 2020 World Tour standings, and Ignas Vaitkus was named a member of the Team of the World Tour. We look forward to seeing if Utena's World Tour success is a fluke or the beginnings of something special.

The true meaning of Christmas » « How should inflation figures be reported?
Film review: Glass Onion (2022) (No spoilers)
Yesterday Netflix released the second in the series of whodunits featuring Daniel Craig as the brilliant detective Benoit Blanc, playing him with a caricatured Southern accent, vaguely reminiscent of Peter Sellers' outrageous French accent as Inspector Clouseau. The writer snd director Rian Johnston is a self-admitted devotee of the Agatha Christie-style murder mystery novel and he clearly brings that sensibility to his films. The first one Knives Out (2019) followed the classic form of the genre, taking place in the large country home of a wealthy person, so that the suspects are limited to being few in number.
The second takes the same form except that location is more exotic, the luxurious home on the private Greek island of a billionaire tech entrepreneur who invites a group of his friends and collaborators for a weekend to take part in a murder mystery game. During the event, old animosities surface because of the arrival of the billionaire's former collaborator who claims that he cheated her by stealing the idea that made him rich, and that the others colluded with him.
The film is highly enjoyable. Even though it lasts 2 hours and 20 minutes, I did not feel the time passing at all. There are interesting plot twists thrown in to keep one's interest but the main appeal is in the characters and the snappy dialogue. As a bonus, it is funny and avoids gratuitous violence, The film also contains many cameos by well-known people. The story is supposedly based on the Agatha Christie novel A Murder is Announced though that story takes place in an English village and features the mousy Miss Marple as the detective. I had read that story decades ago but could not remember the plot. I took the book out of the library but refrained from starting it until today, after I saw the film.
What was particularly amusing was that the billionaire character Miles Bron seems to be a brutal portrayal of Elon Musk. Even though the film was made well before Musk's recent shenanigans that have invited widespread scorn and ridicule and made many question his grandiose self-promotion of his abilities, it seems remarkably prescient. This review lays out all the similarities, and the astonishment of many viewers at how it accurately predicted how Musk would be viewed today, though be warned that the article contains spoilers. Here is a bit that is pertinent.
Miles Bron presents himself as tech boy-genius. The kind of guy who calls himself a visionary and talks about the power of disruption. But it's a veneer, all sizzle and no steak. The dude simply steals ideas and bullies the people below him. He's a billionaire who's convinced he knows everything while hardly knowing anything at all.
Here's the trailer.
Films and TV
Rob Grigjanis says
an accent of indeterminate origin, vaguely reminiscent of Peter Sellers' outrageous French accent as Inspector Clouseau.
From the couple of clips I've seen, I'd guess a Deep Southern US accent.
[I agree with you and edited the original post on this issue. -- MS]
I really enjoyed the movie except for one thing I can't discuss because even alluding to what bothered me about it is a spoiler (though I was able to get it off my chest on Mastodon, thank you Content Warning feature). The ending as well would make for an interesting topic of conversation except again, of course, spoilers.
I'm not spoiler adverse and I do think spoiler phobia is out of hand online (a particular peeve is people in the comments to a video whining about spoilers about the video contents so why are they reading the comments first when the whole point of a comments section on videos is to discuss the damned video) but when the movie is this newly released and there are twists and turns I do respect avoiding them. In a year though if the movie comes up I will spoil the hell out of it talking about these things.
Matt G says
This reminds me that I need to watch Murder by Death again.
Tabby @2:
I do think spoiler phobia is out of hand online
Agreed. If a story can be spoiled by revealing a plot detail, it's probably not much of a story.
Mobius says
I watched the movie last night and enjoyed it. I am going to have to go back and watch Knives Out, which I have not yet seen.
I have to say that I disagree that Clue is a "terrible terrible game". I greatly enjoy Clue, which is an interesting exercise in logic. It was also, IMHO, a great movie.
If a story can be spoiled by revealing a plot detail, it's probably not much of a story.
Disagree -- sometimes yes, but certainly not all the time. Dark City was made worse in my opinion simply because the premise was spoiled by its own introductory monologue, removing what could have been a discovery mid-movie of just how screwed the setting was. Hint to people that haven't seen it: SKIP THE INTRO.
Sixth Sense could also be made much worse with but a single plot element spoiled. I'm sure there are other examples.
[Topic drift embraced]
Way I see it, people who feel spoilers spoil (heh) the experience have no good reason to re-read or re-watch anything, other than perhaps a one-time frisson from some twist, which apparently is a thing for some people.
Me, I'm getting on in life, and don't particularly want to invest time into watching/reading something by going in blind and discovering it's part of the 99% predictable formulaic crap (Sturgeon was an optimist), so I thoroughly research (so easy to do on the internet!) before starting on something.
In passing, without spoilers, there's no such thing as a proper review.
Only opinion.
I also well remember when I gave up on believing friends and acquaintances: the movie Gladiator, which I thought was a most stupid movie (and badly miscast) but which was most effusively praised by them. Fucking explosions and elevators, fucking mysticism, ridiculously anachronistic and ahistorical.
Rob @4
I get there are people who enjoy a surprise twist and there are times those are important not so much to the plot but the way the story is being told so I'm fine with biting my tongue for a time. Where it's out of hand is like I mentioned above where people read comment sections below a video then start whining that people are using the comments for their intended purpose of commenting on the video after watching it, and where it goes beyond any reasonable time frame and cries of "SPOILERS!" rise up months or even years after something is released. I'm sorry, but you've had plenty of time to watch The Maltese Falcon. It's a lead replica under the paint. Nobody who was in the movie is alive today so you'd have plenty of time to catch up.
The planet of the apes the spaceship crashed on was Earth all along. The star of the movie died in 2008. Still a fun movie, watch it if you haven't.
"Rosebud" is Kane's childhood sled. Everyone in the movie is dead now. Watch if it you want to.
Bruce Willis's character was one of the dead people the kid could see. The kid's a grown ass adult now so if you haven't seen the movie yet that's on you.
(The "you" I'm referring to here is not Rob but the general spoiler phobes.)
fentex says
Murder mysteries have obvious reasons for people to wish avoiding spoilers -- I personally enjoy figuring out solutions before reveals.
But there really isn't much of a mystery in Glass Onion, it really isn't a murder mystery as much as it's a moral fable with quite a weak ending -- the whole movie is a set up for an, almost, pun? I'm not exactly sure what it's called but the trip is a whole lot better than the destination.
I enjoyed it mostly because I adore Janelle Monáe, who has a major role.
I enjoyed the movie -- The one thing I didnt like is the social commentary seemed to overpower the mystery
@Tabby Lavalamp @8
You seem to think that no one new should watch the movies that came out some time ago ?

Overview

The Marionette Collective 1.1.1 and newer supports a single executable - called
mco - and have a plugin type called application that lets you create
applications for this single executable.

In the past we tended to write small standalone scripts to interact with
MCollective, this had a number of issues:

Large number of executables in /usr/sbin

Applications behave inconsistently with regard to error handling and reporting

Discovering new applications is difficult since they are all over the filesystem

Installation and packaging of plugins is complex

We’ve attempted to address these concerns by creating a single point of access
for all applications - the mco script - with unified help, error reporting and
option parsing.

Below you can see the single executable system in use:

The Marionette Collective version 2.0.0

usage: /usr/bin/mco: command <options>

These applications are equivalent to the old mc-rpc and similar applications but without the problem of lots of files in /usr/sbin.

Basic Application

Applications goes in libdir/mcollective/application/echo.rb, the one below is a simple application that speaks to a hypothetical echo action of a helloworld agent. This agent has been demonstrated in : writing agents.

class MCollective::Application::Echo<MCollective::Application
   description "Reports on usage for a specific fact"

   option :message,
          :description    => "Message to send",
          :arguments      => ["-m", "--message MESSAGE"],
          :type           => String,
          :required       => true

   def main
      mc = rpcclient("helloworld")

      printrpc mc.echo(:msg => configuration[:message], :options => options)

      printrpcstats
   end
end

Here’s the application we wrote in action:

$ mco echo
The message option is mandatory

Please run with --help for detailed help

$ mco echo -m test

 * [ ============================================================> ] 1 / 1

example.com
   Message: test
      Time: Mon Jan 31 21:27:03 +0000 2011

Finished processing 1 / 1 hosts in 68.53 ms

Most of the techniques documented in SimpleRPC Clients can be reused here, we’ve just simplified a lot of the common used patterns like CLI arguments and incorporated it all in a single framework.

Reference

Usage Messages

To add custom usage messages to your application we can add lines like this:

class MCollective::Application::Echo<MCollective::Application
   description "Reports on usage for a specific fact"

   usage "mco echo [options] --message message"
end

You can add several of these messages by just adding multiple such lines.

Application Options

A standard options hash is available simply as options you can manipulate it and pass it into the RPC Client like normal. See the SimpleRPC Clients reference for more on this.

CLI Argument Parsing

There are several options available to assist in parsing CLI arguments. The most basic option is:

class MCollective::Application::Echo<MCollective::Application
   option :message,
          :description    => "Message to send",
          :arguments      => ["-m", "--message MESSAGE"]
end

In this case if the user used either -m message or --message message on the CLI the desired message would be in configuration[:message]

Required Arguments

You can require that a certain parameter is always passed:

option :message,
  :description    => "Message to send",
  :arguments      => ["-m", "--message MESSAGE"],
  :required       => true

Argument data types

CLI arguments can be forced to a specific type, we also have some additional special types that the default ruby option parser cant handle on its own.

You can force data to be of type String, Fixnum etc:

option :count,
  :description    => "Count",
  :arguments      => ["--count MESSAGE"],
  :type           => Fixnum

You can force an argument to be boolean:

option :detail,
  :description    => "Detailed view",
  :arguments      => ["--detail"],
  :type           => :bool

If you have an argument that can be called many times you can force that to build an array:

option :args,
  :description    => "Arguments",
  :arguments      => ["--argument ARG"],
  :type           => :array

Here if you supplied multiple arguments configuration[:args] will be an array with all the options supplied.

Argument validation

You can validate input passed on the CLI:

option :count,
  :description    => "Count",
  :arguments      => ["--count MESSAGE"],
  :type           => Fixnum,
  :validate       => Proc.new {|val| val < 10 ? true : "The message count has to be below 10" }

Should the supplied value be 10 or more a error message will be displayed.

Disabling standard sections of arguments

By default every Application get all the RPC options enabling filtering, discovery etc.  In some cases this is undesirable so we let users disable those.

class MCollective::Application::Echo<MCollective::Application
   exclude_argument_sections "common", "filter", "rpc"
end

This application will only have –help, –verbose and –config as options, all the other options will be removed.

Post argument parsing hook

Right after all arguments are parsed you can have a hook in your program called, this hook could perhaps parse the remaining data on ARGV after option parsing is complete.

class MCollective::Application::Echo<MCollective::Application
   description "Reports on usage for a specific fact"

   def post_option_parser(configuration)
      unless ARGV.empty?
         configuration[:message] = ARGV.shift
      else
         STDERR.puts "Please specify a message on the command line"
         exit 1
      end
   end

   def main
      # use configuration[:message] here to access the message
   end
end

Validating configuration

After the options are parsed and the post hook is called you can validate the contents of the configuration:

class MCollective::Application::Echo<MCollective::Application
   description "Reports on usage for a specific fact"

   # parse the first argument as a message
   def post_option_parser(configuration)
      configuration[:message] = ARGV.shift unless ARGV.empty?
   end

   # stop the application if we didnt receive a message
   def validate_configuration(configuration)
      raise "Need to supply a message on the command line" unless configuration.include?(:message)
   end

   def main
      # use configuration[:message] here to access the message
   end
end

Exiting your application

You can use the normal exit Ruby method at any time to exit your application and you can supply any
exit code as normal.

The supplied applications have a standard exit code convention, if you want your applications to exhibit
the same behavior use the halt helper.  The exit codes are below:

      Code
      Description

      0
      Nodes were discovered and all passed

      0
      No discovery was done but responses were received

      1
      No nodes were discovered

      2
      Nodes were discovered but some responses failed

      3
      Nodes were discovered but no responses were received

      4
      No discovery were done and no responses were received

class MCollective::Application::Echo<MCollective::Application
   description "Reports on usage for a specific fact"

   def main
      mc = rpcclient("echo")

      printrpc mc.echo(:msg => "Hello World", :options => options)

      printrpcstats

      halt mc.stats
   end
end

As you can see you pass the halt helper an instance of the RPC Client statistics and it will then
use that to do the right exit code.

At Chelworth Windows & Conservatories, we make and construct all our own window & conservatory frames in-house - we don't buy them in.
That gives us the advantage of being completely bespoke for our customers.
Being expertly made and finished in our own factory in Swindon, Wiltshire, by our skilled craftsman also gives us the edge on quality and fitting, where our installers can ask for specific sizes and variations on window design to suit each each installation.
That's the Chelworth Windows & Conservatories difference that no-one else in Swindon can offer.
We think the only way to provide a proper, bespoke service for our customers is to hand finish the windows we provide for them.
Each property is different - and unique - which means each window we install is manufactured and fitted EXACTLY how it should be. And that needs a precision and hands-on experience you just cannot get from 'buying in' windows & conservatory frames.
Chelworth Windows & Conservatories really is 'better'.
Bespoke is a worded banded around and often misused. It should mean 'made to measure' but rarely does.
With Chelworth Windows & Conservatories we guarantee it.
With our own factory, the windows we make for our customers are genuinely made to measure every time. How can two windows sizes truly be the same?
From the moment we measure up to the moment we proudly add the finishing touches, Chelworth Windows & Conservatories are always made to our customers's exact requirements.

I'm fedup with Idea's tabs.
Look at Textpad's tabs. (www.textpad.com).
Do you think this could be arranged with a plugin ?
You can turn off the closing by themselves in editor options, I think. Where it says "Maximum number of editor windows open:", change it from the default 10 or 15 to 100 or something like that.
You could bind "next tab" to ctrltab in the keymap options. I think it's already bound to AltRight, but if you like Ctrl+Tab you could add a binding.
You are upset that they go to several lines, but you don't want to compress them to one line with the arrows. What other options would there be that IDEA doesn't support?
KL> there be that IDEA doesn't support?
Make them smaller. I also think there's a lot of wasted space in the tabs, I really cannot understand why they keep them so wide. IDEA puts two rows of tabs way before two rows are really needed, the class name takes less than half of the space on a tab at any given time. Take the icon and the file extension into account (admitting that one of them is redundant) and you end up with one third of the tab being used for really meaningfull information.
The single line thing is not a decent workaround, either. If I don't see the tab I might as well have it closed, since I can bring it up with Ctrl+E.
press "next tab" on the keyboard a number of times.
do with too many tabs.
Thanks a lot! I hadn't seen it before.
That's why I was wondering why its functionality is not included as default.
Another way to display tabs is on the right or left side of the source editor. Now I know that there is already something over on the right side of the source editor, but it's a lot easier to read tab names going down the screen than across the screen.
If you want to see this in action, take a look at JBuilder. They support this and it really makes finding a single source file in 40 open source files a lot easier.
Yeah well, actually, that's good.

Statistical mechanics of double-helical polymers
Alvise De Col*, Tanniemola B. Liverpool
Fluids and materials
A study of the statistical mechanics of double-helical polymers using analytical techniques and simulations was presented. A geometric model, which includes three important ingredients of DNA in B-form was introduced. The bending and twisting rigidity of the polymer were determined by single energy scale of the model. It was observed that the helix melts at a particular temperature Tc below which the chain has a helical structure. It was suggested that as in mechanical unzipping experiments on DNA, there could be cooperative effects due to the effects of sequence disorder.

Over £292 million paid out.
The majority of farmers and crofters are receiving up to 90% of their CAP basic payment support loan earlier than previously anticipated.
Loan payments were scheduled in the first week of November. However, more than 12,300 farmers and crofters are now receiving payments worth over £292 million - earlier than ever before.
"In September I committed to making loan payments in the first week of November. I can now confirm we have paid more than 10,600 farmers and crofters around £254 million, while a further 1,700 are receiving some £38 million in the coming days.
"This means that by the 1 November, we will have paid more than 12,300 farmers and crofters over £292 million - £46 million more than last year to 360 more businesses.
Although the deadline for apply for a loan has passed, farmers and crofters can still apply for an interest free loan. Farmers and crofters who have yet to receive a loan offer should expect to receive one in the coming weeks.

WBC CAA Low res 03-12-20 , item 55/20 PDF 10 MB
W&BC CA Consultation Comments , item 55/20 PDF 442 KB
The Portfolio Holder for Planning and Regulatory Services began by encouraging all Cabinet Members and Members watching to share the document as he believed it was a stunning document which was an advert for the Worcestershire Countryside and what this Council had in Bromsgrove in particular.
The Strategic Planning and Conservation Manager presented the report and credited his Team for all their hard work in preparing it. It was explained that this version was similar to that brought before Cabinet some 18 months ago and that whilst this Council did not own the conservation area it would continue to work with those who do. The purpose of the report was to report back on the initial consultation carried out. Responses were limited due to there not being many residents within the area. The relevant parish councils had also been spoken to, but as detailed in appendix 2 to the report. The majority of responses were from the Canals and Rivers Trust and the Canal Society and were therefore quite technical. However, a number of events, pre Covid-19, were held and the responses from these were also included in the report.
All comments had been taken onboard and included within the final document before Members this evening. The process going forward was for the document to become a material planning consideration at Planning Committee, so carried some weight and would be used for any planning applications which arose in and around the conservation area. It also provided a position in terms of the planning review going forward, in relation to the conservation area setting and likely impact of that. It was highlighted that significant amounts of land had been put forward for development in the surrounding area and this provided an evidence base to move forward in assessing those.
It was suggested that the level of evidence in the report was something which should be used in the promotion of the District and a leaflet was being prepared to promote the tourism aspect, which would sit alongside this document without the more technical areas being included so it could be used as a marketing tool. This would be circulated in due course and prepared in time for when the current restrictions begin to ease.
The Portfolio Holder for Planning and Regulatory Services praised the document and again reiterated that it was a testament to what was available in the countryside and asked the Strategic Planning and Conservation Manager to provide all Councillors with a link to the document as it was really important to recognise the huge amount of work which had gone into its preparation. There was some really useful information within it, including key points of interest.
The Leader agreed that it was a marketing opportunity to promote the best of the District and reiterated the thanks to officers for an excellent piece of work. This was supported by all Cabinet Members.

Bromsgrove Homelessness Grant and Flexible Homelessness Support Grant Allocation for 2021/22 PDF 202 KB
The Portfolio Holder for Strategic Housing and Health and Well Being presented the report and explained that this was brought to Members annual and had previously included the flexible homelessness support grant and the homelessness reduction grant, which had now been combined. The report requested approval of the allocation of grants which provided a variety of services and initiatives which helped to prevent homelessness or support for those actually experiencing homelessness. Its allocation was detailed I paragraph 3.7 of the report and these services provided an important role in assisting people experiencing adversity and provided pathways to help them deal with the effects of being homeless and assist the statutory service in the prevention of homelessness.
The Portfolio Holder for Strategic Housing and Health and Well Being highlighted a mis-calculation in the table at 3.5 of the report due to the inclusion of crash-pad income in the draft report that has now been removed due to the notification of the final grant award which had been uplifted to cover all grant funding for 2021/22. The report stated in the table that homelessness grant including young persons' pathway worker grant of £127,200 and this should be £123,200 which gave a total of £281,794.
The Portfolio Holder for Strategic Housing and Health and Well Being thanked officers for all their hard work and the prevention work they carried out alongside the service provider.
The Leader highlighted the importance of the grants particularly at the current time and in light of the pandemic and the Head of Community Services also welcomed the support of the voluntary sector in supporting this really vulnerable group in these very challenging times.
RESOLVED that
a) the initiatives in 3.7 of the report receive allocation of funding 2021/22 be approved; and
b) delegated authority to the Head of Community and Housing Services following consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Strategic Housing to use any unallocated Grant during the year or make further adjustments as necessary to ensure full utilisation of the Grants for 2021/22 in support of existing or new schemes be approved.

The Head of Finance and Customer Services presented the report and explained that it was a technical document which sets out the detail of the accounting calculation of the District's tax base, for Council Tax setting purposes. The suggestion was that the Council Tax Bases for 2021/22 be set at £37,186.55. This included a provision of non- collection of 1% of the tax base that was being set. This also took into account the potential impact of Covid-19 in the bad debt provision. Appendix 1 to the report detailed the parish precept and had been informed of these, responses were awaited in order for the Council Tax to be set for the year.
The Portfolio Holder for Finance and Resources commented that this was the first time in his memory that this figure had gone down.
The Leader thanked the Head of Finance and Customer Services and his team for all their hard work at this difficult time and in particular in respect of the grant payments being made.
RESOLVED that the amount calculated by Bromsgrove District Council as the Council Tax Base for the whole area for 2021/22 at £37,186.55 as detailed at Appendix 1 to the report, to include individual parish elements, be approved.
Medium Term Financial Plan 2021/22 - 2024/25 - Update Presentation
The Head of Finance and Customer Services gave a presentation which provided an update in respect of the Medium Term Finance Plan 2020/21 to 2023/24. The presentation has been included as an appendix to these minutes. It was explained that this was a work in progress which showed the current position with further work being undertaken over the coming days. The following areas were highlighted:
· Improvements to budget position (including additional New Homes Bonus for one year only and a new Lower Tier Service Grant, again for one year only). It was noted that these grants had not been expected.
· Additional costs which were against the Council's budget position (the Government had capped the maximum Council Tax percentage increase the Council could make.
· The third slide showed the position in respect of the General Fund Revenue and changes to the budget gap which had taken place. It was highlighted that there was a small use of reserves planned. It was further noted that the Council Tax based had actually shrunk for this year and it was understood this was due to the local Council Tax Reduction Scheme coming into place and Covid-19 driven issues.
· Medium Term Budget Gap currently stood at £79k climbing to £1,153k in 2022/23 and final £1,482 in 2023/24.
· Further detail was provided in respect of the funds planned to be released from reserves and the difference that the Lower Tier Services Grant had made this year. It was noted that the unavoidable pressures included areas such as the lost car parking income due to Covid-19 projected losses from income due to Covid-19. The grants received in respect of Covid-19 had not as yet been factored into the calculations as there continued to be a shortfall from these.
· It was noted that the capital programme was being further revised which would reduce the MRP principal and interest payable. There would also be a reduction in the investment income which was predicated on investing in assets. It was hoped that the market would stabilise over the next 12 months which would hopefully be a safe position for the Council to invest in and receive good value.
· It was noted that there was much work to be done in future year as the gap was significant, this was being worked on at the moment.
· Details were provided in respect of savings being made to date – a significant number of which were from Environmental Services. Other areas continued to review these to see what other savings could be made.
· There were a number of pressures for 2021/22 including the car parking income. It was noted that there was an error in the original business case for Commercial Waste. The service was not underperforming, this was merely a correction.
· There were a number of bids for 2021/22 in respect of ICT support and the Corporate GIS.

Luctus – Užribis
by Hayduke X | Sep 26, 2020 | Interviews, Reviews | 0 comments
Band – Luctus
Album – Užribis
Country of Origin – Lithuania
Release Date – April 4, 2020
Label – Inferna Profundus Records
Musically, Užribis is an incredibly powerful album. The visceral nature of the playing draws you down into the rich, black tapestry created by this quartet. The album is a slow burner, relying on pacing and rhythm to mesmerize the listener, instead of blunt force and raw speed. All the pieces melt together like shadows in the forest, seemingly shifting and moving so that you can never get a true grasp of what's around you.
Dovydas handled all rhythm and lead guitar lines, adding layers of riffs and sound which is layered and lushly pitch black. The riffs are sharp and intense, never boring, and subtly destructive. Kommander L. adds bass, providing a thick underpinning, like a darker layer of black within the night. Drums are masterfully handled by VJ, with a glorious sense of push/pull rhythm as he controls the pace of the project from 'stalking predator' to 'out of control locomotive' and everything in-between. That's not to say he ever sounds out of control, just that there are passages of extreme, relentless aggression within what is generally a mid-paced attack. Finally, we are back to Kommander L. for vocals. His style is quite varied, but often resides in a death metal/black metal hybrid approach, too low in timbre to really be typical black metal, but not enough growl to really be death metal. The result is a perfect fit for the album, and very well done.
Somewhere in the dark of a bleak night in Lithuania, there are caves. Within those caves is a sentient evil. That evil is Užribis. Though it rests there in the dark, it's tendrils of power have been extended worldwide. All who are touched are lost. Become one of the lost.
Užribis by Luctus
Hayduke X: Congratulations on the release of Užribis earlier this year. It's a truly smothering release. Six months after the release, how has the reception been?
Kommander L: Thank you! The reception was positive. Of course, we expected more feedback considering that we had many projects and live shows in mind, but the album came out in the middle of the pandemic and this obviously had a weight. There is nothing we can do about it and it is useless to think that it could have gone differently – it went as it went.
HX: Now that the album is out in the world and has had a chance to settle, how are you feeling about the final product?
KL: I am very satisfied. It is a truly professional product, with attention to the smallest details, not only from a musical point of view, but also from a graphic and visual one. We and our label "Inferna Profundus Records" really put all our heart and hard work into it. In the end it's something we do mostly for ourselves, so we want to be 100% satisfied. But we are also happy when other people appreciate our work.
HX: That's great to hear. I've only seen pictures so far (but I hope to change that), but the physical product looks really great in all aspects.
The promotional materials I received state the Užribis is a thematic continuation of the prior album, Ryšys. I've read a lot of reviews of that album, but nobody really pins down the theme. Can you give some explanation about the themes of these two albums and how they're connected?
KL: With the Ryšys album we had conceptually begun a work of exploring what I call the Other World. This entity can be identified as another dimension, another frequency, or the unconscious. In any case, a reality that is part of us, but does not belong to this world. The previous album was an attempt at contact and connection with this world (in fact one of the meanings of the word Ryšys is just connection, relation). With the new work, the exploration goes on. It goes further and deeper.
HX: Google Translate (not a very reliable tool, I know) says Užribis means "Outside". Is that pretty accurate and how does it relate to the larger themes?
KL: Yes, it can be one of the meanings, albeit quite limited. Perhaps the best translation would be "beyond", even if it is an archetypal word that communicates more than a purely literal meaning. The title means going beyond borders and limits. It could be not only physical and carnal limits, but also spiritual ones.
HX: I like how that expands my understanding of your themes.
The album cover is interesting, and I feel a unique representation of the album. Can you tell me about the artist, the process of getting that done, and anything else related to the artwork?
KL: The cover design was made by master Jose Gabriel Alegría Sabogal. I was very fascinated by the expressiveness and depth of his works and so we turned to him. I like when the artist gives his own vision of the opera. I always work like this. So I sent him the concept of the album and the lyrics and asked him to elaborate his point of view. The result was truly incredible – not only did he manage to perfectly grasp the essence of the concept, but he even extended and enriched it from his point of view. He is truly an immense artist.
HX: I know that it immediately grabbed my attention.
It's my understanding that Luctus started as your solo project, and has since evolved into your current lineup. Is that correct?
KL: Yes, the project was born as my one man band in 2001, and it was until 2011. The first ten years I did everything by myself, because at the time I was living in Italy. In 2011, I returned to live in Lithuania and I found stable members for a complete line-up. We also started doing many live shows, while before I could only do a couple of gigs per year with some session musicians.
HX: If I have the dates correct, based on Metal Archives, at least half the band is new since Ryšys. Is that why there is five years between the two albums?
KL: Well actually "Ryšys" was still recorded with the old line-up with which we also recorded the album "Stotis". After that we decided to replace two members and yes, basically the long hiatus between the two albums is due to line-up change issues, which slowed things down a lot.
HX: That's understandable for sure!
What is the writing process for the band?
KL: All the musical carcass of the songs and the lyrics are composed by me. But each member of the band during the arrangement phase contributes to the process by proposing different ideas and arrangements. In the last album, above all, the guitarist D.A. gave a great contribution in the arrangement of the pieces, by bringing several interesting ideas and proposals that were perfectly incorporated into the structure of the pieces.
HX: That sounds like a very collaborative environment and you can't argue with the results. Do you enjoy working that way?
KL: Well, it wasn't easy at first, because for a long time I was used to writing, composing and recording all by myself (except for the drums). But the contribution of the other members can only enrich the structure of the songs with different colors. Of course, not all ideas and proposals are always accepted, I guess it is not really "pleasant" to work with me because I am very rigid and selective, but usually the best ideas arise from the most difficult discussions.
HX: Track six, Tikejimo paslaptis, has some stunning backing vocals from a guest vocalist that help put it over the top as my favorite track on the album. Her vocals are such a nice contrast to the nasty slow burn of that song. It works really well. Who is she? Does anybody else guest on the album in any capacity?
KL: Well, that 'she' is me. I recorded those vocals. It's very funny, because nobody understands it, even if we haven't used any modulation effects on the voices other than reverb and delay. We plan to develop this idea live. That is, to have a female choir sing those vocal lines. A friend of mine, Xe Xe Chax Heyatha Zhaiyrhous of NAHASH, one of the oldest black metal bands of Lithuania, also contributed to that song doing some vocal lines. He also composed all the keyboards on the whole album.
HX: That's crazy! But very cool.
I'd like to talk a bit about the history of the band. Specifically, I initially avoided reviewing Užribis because Ad Arma! (2004) shows up on at least two white supremacist websites, including Hammerstorm. In addition, some of the lyrics could possibly sound like they fit that philosophy (though there is more than one way to take them to be sure). The line: "No fucking mercy to inferiors." from Song For The Enemy stands out. Can you talk to me about themes on this album and if the band has any connection to fascism?
KL: In the first decade of the band's activity I was very fascinated by belligerent themes, especially those inherent to WW II. "Ad Arma!" is an album about war, as will be the subsequent "Jaučiant pabaigą arti" and the split "Sonitus Caeli Ardentis". Dealing with extreme issues, they are clearly explicit albums. I have also written songs about Schutzstaffel troops and concentration camps. However Luctus was never a political band interested in promoting political ideas. I was never interested in doing it, otherwise I would join a political party instead of creating a band. The album "Jaučiant pabaigą arti" deals with patriotic themes, but even here they are not intended as politics, but more as a dramatic and heroic picture of a simple human who dies in war for he's homeland. There is zero politics here, just guts and mangled meat flying into the bloody trenches amidst excruciating screams of agony. It is clear that I have some political ideas, some of them can be associated with the right, but certainly I have never used and will use music to talk about it.
HX: Thanks for the honest and in-depth answer.
The black metal scene right now seems to be in a culture war in certain corners between two opposing points of view, with many bands just avoiding politics altogether. Do you have any thoughts on this?
KL: Honestly, as far as black metal is concerned, I don't understand people who get outraged by politically incorrect ideas. Guys, in case you haven't noticed, in black metal (and so in death metal too) everything is wrong! We are talking about music composed of dangerous people, who live an unusual life, so what do you expect? It's like going to a rave and then getting indignant that everyone is on drugs. Well, nobody has to go there. This is not to say that all black metal bands have to be fascist, or Nazi, but sometimes it is really ridiculous when someone decides what is right and what is not in a genre that is completely out of all schemes and settings. If in the lyrics you talk about killing and impaling priests, nuns, whores and children then that's ok – you can do it. But if by any chance you put people of color, Jews or Muslims among the impaled people – then no, you can't do that. Isn't that ridiculous? As long as they are just words you can ignore it if you want or you can discuss it, as we are doing now, but when shows or even tours are canceled just because people do not think as they "should", then there is fascism, but on the opposite side I would say..
HX: Well, I'm a believer in free speech, and will never say someone can't say something, whatever it is. But I think that also extends to those who oppose hatred of definable groups. In other words, I believe that protesters have the right to voice their opinions even if it leads to a show shutting down. That, I think, is different from a government shutting a show down, which would be an actual infringement of free speech. I would also suggest that a show shutting down because of the band's beliefs is a far cry from persecution of a group of people because of their ethnicity or skin color. I don't think those are the same thing at all.
KL: Ok, but here we are talking about a niche genre, which is fine. Nowadays it too has become mainstream, but in any case it is not an imposed genre (indeed, it often propagates misanthropy and estrangement from society). You don't see it on MTV, on newspapers, no one is obliged to hear it. I think very simply – if I don't like a band, I don't listen to it, I don't buy its records, I don't go to its concerts and I don't waste a minute of my time about that.
HX: I understand that perspective. My general pattern is to ignore racist bands, regardless of genre. But, I would have a real problem with them playing live in my community. I'm talking about openly racist, spouting racism or nazi glorification in their lyrics. I'm not talking about "sketchy" bands, if you see the difference. I've seen both Marduk and Belphegor live, for example, both of whom I occasionally see lumped into that "sketchy" category.
KL: I understand what you say, but those few politically radical black metal bands you certainly won't see them touring with Marduk or Belphegor. They are more underground, so even in concerts, they play in niche places.
HX: And usually through word of mouth, as I understand it. For the most part, I feel it's better to ignore them and not give them oxygen, so to speak.
How has Luctus evolved through the years?
KL: This question is not simple – next year the band will turn twenty years of existence – for such a long period, you can say a lot of things without saying anything. In two decades, people, mentalities, interests and even beliefs change. From my point of view I can say that a lot of things have changed over the course of these two decades, both musically and spiritually, but the goal has remained the same. Without it this life would most likely be wasted.
HX: Yeah, that's a pretty big question.
If I have it right, this is your third full length released by Inferna Profundus. I'm actually not that familiar with the label. What can you tell me about them? How has your experience been working with them?
KL: We have been working with IPR since 2013, when our album "Stotis" was released. It is currently the most active black metal label in the Baltics and this new record is the third under this label. We continue to work with this label first of all, because the boss has been a friend of mine for a long time, and therefore sometimes we meet not only to talk about business, but also for friendship. Second – it is a label very attentive to details, which takes care of every release, because the person behind all the work is a person who dedicates his whole life to this activity. I really admire people who turn their passion into business.
HX: What are your plans after the pandemic is resolved? Are there any tentative tour plans?
KL: It is very difficult to plan anything at the moment. This autumn we had to have some shows abroad which have not yet been canceled, but which I honestly do not think will take place, given the current situation. By now we have made peace with ourselves that the presentation of our new live album has been skipped, so we look to the future and we are already planning some important things for next year.
HX: Are you already writing new music? What's next?
KL: I'll be honest – no. At least for now. Every time it's really hard for me to open a new chapter – it's like shaping a new corpse. Once the first piece of a new album is finished then I know what shape this corpse will take – after that it has to be completed with blood, bones, organs, nerves and brain. If he has a soul – perhaps others will understand this.
HX: What are your musical influences when you are writing for Luctus?
KL: I listen to all genres, as long as they give me strong sensations. I have noticed that usually if something inspires me, creating, the opposite comes to me and therefore I have understood that associating genres to the compositional process is often useless. I feel a sacred devotion to the 90s black metal classics, but even nowadays, in the midst of so much trash, there are some bands that give me the creeps. Few but good. For the rest, most of my time, in addition to metal, I listen to dark ambient music, noize, rap and classical music, so I think this undoubtedly, even if in reverse, affects what I compose.
HX: Are there any other Lithuanian bands you want to recommend to our readers?
KL: Notable acts that still continue to create: Nahash, Dissimulation, Au-Dessus, Erdve, Regressive. While for the now dead and buried classics – Anubi, Valefar, Nyksta.
HX: Awesome. I have some listening to do then.

VAL D'ISERE, France — French skier Alexis Pinturault delighted his home crowd by winning a men's World Cup giant slalom on Saturday, his 10th career victory in the discipline and 20th overall.
Ranked third after an opening run in difficult weather conditions, the Frenchman excelled when the skies had cleared three hours later, posting the fastest time in a flawless second run to beat Stefan Luitz by 0.28. The German, who is yet to win a race, earned his second podium within a week.
First-run leader Marcel Hirscher made a mistake early in his second run and was further slowed by a flag — detached from one of the gates — wrapped around his right arm for several seconds. The six-time overall champion from Austria dropped to third, 0.54 behind.
The flags easily come off the gates, which mark the turns in a GS, in order to prevent skiers from getting hurt when they hook them with their arm.
"It was my own fault. It's annoying. It's been a long time since I last hooked a gate," said Hirscher, who had won the last four races in the discipline.
"Beating anybody to win a race is always special," said Pinturault after snapping the Austrian's streak. "As we saw, Marcel took a lot of risk and made a few mistakes. Anyway, it was a great fight."
With the year almost over, Pinturault and Hirscher have so far won all giant slalom races in 2017.
The Frenchman won in Adelboden in early January, while Hirscher took the next four — in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Kranjska Gora, Aspen and, in last week's first GS of the Olympic season, Beaver Creek.
In Colorado six days ago, Pinturault struggled and finished only in 12th, trailing the Austrian star by almost two seconds.
The way he bounced back on home snow on Saturday made him proud.
"This is a big satisfaction as I had some troubles with my (equipment setup) and with the snow in Beaver Creek," said Pinturault, who also won his home race last year.
Pinturault improved to fifth in the overall standings, 50 points behind leader Kjetil Jansrud and 46 behind Aksel Lund Svindal. Both Norwegians didn't compete Saturday.
Overnight snowfall had affected the slope, and organizers lowered the start because of high winds in the upper part of the course, while low clouds hampered visibility for the first run in the morning hours.
"They tried everything possible so it's super that we do have a race," Hirscher said after posting the leading time in the first leg. "It was tough to race but that was the same for all. The (time) differences are so small that it feels like we haven't had a first run."
Hirscher, who has recovered from fracturing his left ankle in the offseason, could have become the first male skier in nearly 37 years to win five consecutive World Cup giant slaloms after Swedish standout Ingemar Stenmark last completed the feat in 1981.
With a victory, Hirscher would also have joined Olympic champion Ted Ligety in second place on the all-time GS winners list with 24 wins, second only to Stenmark's 46.
On Saturday, Ligety had two costly mistakes as he was 2.38 seconds off Hirscher's time in 30th and only just qualified for the final run, in which the American posted the fourth-fastest time to finish 16th overall.
A slalom race at the same resort is scheduled for Sunday.
