New to Yolt? Join 900,000 registered users getting smart with their money
*24th June update:* We've added more banks to Yolt Pay! You can now send money via Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, Lloyds, Bank of Scotland, Halifax, RBS, Natwest, Ulster Bank.
From the very beginning, we built Yolt to take away the hard work when it comes to your money. Time is precious, and we all deserve a little more of it to enjoy what really matters – whether that's spending time with friends and family, pursuing a passion, or finally taking that dream holiday.
When it comes to staying on top of your finances, saving time is no easy task. After all, time spent on all those little bits and bobs quickly adds up. That was the basis behind one of our most popular features: One clear view of your accounts, together in one place. No logging in and out of all your banking apps just to know where you stand. We're proud to say that you can now sync and see over 77 current accounts, savings accounts and credit cards, along with your pensions and investments, all in Yolt.
Today, our mission to end money app juggling is taking the next big step with the launch of Yolt Pay, now in Beta!
So, what does the next step in ending app juggling look like? We want you to be able to login to Yolt, see your money across your different accounts, and then take action with that money – all in one place.
We're not quite there yet, but we're working on it. In this early stage of Yolt Pay, you'll be able to initiate payments within Yolt. You'll then be redirected to your bank to confirm the payment. Once you've done that, you'll be redirected back into Yolt where we'll let you know if your payment went through successfully. Don't worry if you get an error screen – you can try again!
Yolt Payee Address Book:
This feature makes it easier than ever to send money to your contacts across all of your connected bank accounts - all from Yolt! Any contact that you've previously saved in your connected banking apps will now appear, pre-populated, within the Yolt app, saving you the hassle of adding account numbers and sort codes.
We know it's not perfect, but we wanted to get a version out to you, our community, in these early stages, to make sure we're building the payment feature you want. We've worked together this way from the beginning, and we couldn't be prouder of the app we've built!
In this initial version of Yolt Pay, we're focusing on perfecting two core journeys:
1. Moving money between accounts
Let's say you've just logged into Yolt, checked your accounts, and noticed you need to top one of them up to pay a bill. Or maybe you've smashed your Left to Spend target and want to move your leftover cash into savings. With Yolt Pay, you can move money from any supported current account to any other current account and savings account.
2. Settling up with friends and family
As we always say, Yolt wants you to go out and enjoy life – and that probably means spending lots of time with the people who matter most. If you want to settle up last night's restaurant bill, pay someone back for your holiday hotel, or send some funds to family members, you can use Yolt Pay to settle up! You can move money from any supported current account to any other current account and savings account!
Yolt Pay - powered by Open Banking
Over the past year, we've been leading the way in Open Banking. You can read all about that here, but in a nutshell, Open Banking is a financial legislation empowering Brits with their money. It's making the financial sector more slick, transparent, and competitive than ever before. It's a big win for Fintech and people all across the UK.
Throughout 2018 we worked hard – with a lot of help from our vocal community of testers – to connect all major high street banks to Yolt via their open APIs – the first third party provider to do so! These API connections makes it easier than ever to collaborate with other financial services to bring you new and exciting features. Now, we're taking the next big step in the Open Banking journey with the launch of our Payment Initiation Service, that's the tech that drives Yolt Pay!
Open Banking has only been around for a little over a year. It's just early days, and even though we've now connected all the major high street banks via their Open APIs, not all of these banks support payments via Open Banking yet.
Currently, nine high street banks support payments via Open Banking in Yolt:
Barlcays
The other high street banks will be added as and when they are ready.
If you bank with any of the above, you can start using Yolt Pay in Beta – and we really hope you share your honest feedback and suggestions with us. If you have a spare minute after completing a payment, shoot us a quick email to let us know the good, the bad and the ugly – don't worry, we really want to know everything you have to say!
Identity Verification:
Yolt Pay comes alongside a suite of other new and exciting features we've got planned for Yolt this year! With these new capabilities, comes new responsibilities, and, so, we'll now be asking you to verify your identity in order to use Yolt. You can read all about why we're adopting identity verification here and how to get started in Yolt here.
We're building this together
Yolt Pay may be powered by Open Banking, but it's built with you! As we've said, we're launching Yolt Pay in Beta so that we can work with you to make it the very best it can be.
We spent the last year collecting your feedback through surveys, twitter polls, meetups, and testing a very early alpha version. That's how we got to where we are now, and it's time to open things up to even more people!
So, please spread the word, get involved, and share your honest feedback. From our end, we'll be sharing updates about the process and opportunities to come in and test out the latest updates and related features. Do let us know if you'd like to be on our Community Mailing List – you'll be the first to know about any chances to get involved. Just email us here to add yourself to the list.

Biggar continue to act as our bogey team, defeating us 37-22 in the Edinburgh Regional Cup at Hartreemill yesterday.
We didn't really turn up in the first half, although a rather harsh yellow to Hayden after 8 minutes didn't exactly help us to settle into the game. Home captain Bruce McNeill also saw yellow 20 minutes later, but, by then, his team were two converted tries to the good.
Borth – recalled to kicking duties after Seb went off injured – landed a nice penalty on 32 minutes to make it 14-3, then a Biggar penalty made it 17-3 at the break.
We had much the better of the play in the second half, with Liam, Chris Damsteegt and Scott Brewster running/breenging in tries.
Borth converted two of these, but Biggar added two penalties and two converted tries to earn only their second win of the season.


An Independent Medical Evaluation or a Medical Legal Assessment is an objective assessment of a client's diagnosis, mental and or physical impairment(s), and prognosis for recovery.
Based on the comprehensive assessments, medical background review of the client's history, and an in-person interview, the examining clinician (i.e. Physician, Psychologist, Neuropsychologists, Psychiatrists, Occupational Therapists, and Vocational Rehabilitation Consultants) generates a detailed report with a prognosis, timelines for recovery, treatment recommendations, and expected outcomes of recommended treatment interventions. There are many professionals in our office that are qualified to give expert witness testimony.


The voiceless palato-alveolar sibilant affricate or voiceless domed postalveolar sibilant affricate is a type of consonantal sound used in some spoken languages. The sound is transcribed in the International Phonetic Alphabet with ⟨t͡ʃ⟩, ⟨t͜ʃ⟩ or ⟨tʃ⟩ (formerly the ligature ⟨ʧ⟩). It is familiar to English speakers as the "ch" sound in "chip".
Historically, this sound often derives from a former voiceless velar stop /k/ (as in English church; also in Gulf Arabic, Slavic languages, Indo-Iranian languages and Romance languages), or a voiceless dental stop /t/ by way of palatalization, especially next to a front vowel (as in English nature; also in Amharic, etc.).
Adyghe чэмы [t͡ʃamə] 'cow' Some dialects contrast labialized and non-labialized forms.
Assyrian Neo-Aramaic chmah [t͡ʃmaː] 'how many?' Used in the Urmia and Nochiya dialects. Corresponds to [k] in other varieties.
Acadian tiens [t͡ʃɛ̃] '(I/you) keep' Allophone of /k/ and /tj/ before a front vowel.
Greek Cypriot τζ̌αι [t͡ʃe̞] 'and' Contrasts with /t͡ʃʰː/ and prenasalised [d͡ʒ].
Polish Gmina Istebna ciemny [ˈt͡ʃɛmn̪ɘ] 'dark' /ʈ͡ʂ/ and /t͡ɕ/ merge into [t͡ʃ] in these dialects. In standard Polish, /t͡ʃ/ is commonly used to transcribe what actually is a laminal voiceless retroflex affricate.
Most dialects tchau [ˈt͡ʃaw] 'bye' In Standard European Portuguese it occurs only in recent loanwords.
Sanskrit चन्द्र [t͡ʃən̪d̪rə] 'moon' Contrasts with aspirated form.
Serbo-Croatian Some speakers čokoláda чоколада [t͡ʃo̞ko̞ˈɫǎ̠ːd̪a̠] 'chocolate' In varieties that don't distinguish /ʈ͡ʂ/ from /t͡ɕ/.
Silesian Gmina Istebna These dialects merge /ʈ͡ʂ/ and /t͡ɕ/ into [t͡ʃ].
Mandarin Chinese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Catalan, and Thai have a voiceless alveolo-palatal affricate /t͡ɕ/; this is technically postalveolar but it is less precise to use /t͡ʃ/.


Toast has never really been my thing, but a few months ago I just felt the need to buy a toaster. Nothing rational you understand, just the feeling that somehow it was missing from my life.
At least a decade and a half of a toaster-free existence and there I was, eyeing up the toasters in the store and walking home with a shiny new compact ultra-modern minimalist little number to add a touch of chic to my oh so not modern cluttered sort of rustic traditionalist kind of kitchen on whose counter it sat for quite a while looking totally out of place until one day I girded my loins and plucked up the courage to use the thing.
I set it on a cowardly number 2 setting, gingerly pressed down the trigger and waited.
Low and behold a few seconds later very faintly toasted bread popped out. No smoke. No charred edges.
Didn't quite feel right, but I served it to the kids with baked beans with mushrooms and sunny side up eggs, experiencing this vague feeling of playing at being mummy while I did so. Kids were thrilled. I felt a faint whiff of nostalgia for childhood tea times.
A few days later I tried again. This time I boldly set the toaster to 5, yielding surprisingly satisfyingly charrred edges to the toast, but not so much as to render it actual charcoal. I felt the stirrings of memory intensify, the scent of childhood breakfasts.
Two weeks later I found myself buying butter and marmalade. Butter I get from time to time, mostly to bake with or to make mac n'cheese. Marmalade though. I can't remember when I last bought marmalade. I don't even like marmalade. I don't even really like jam of any kind.
There it was though, an elegant little jar in my basket.
Once home I tried out my toaster again. Dark rye bread toasted to within an inch of its life on 6. Then I spread a thin layer of salted butter, topped with a heap teaspoon of marmalade.
I felt a twinge of something at the mere smell, but I was totally unprepared at the surge of emotion that washed over me at the first bite. Bittersweet like the marmalade, crisp and clear like the crunch of well toasted bread.
Oh Mum, how I've missed you.
No particular anniversary or memory, just the simple fact of being a mother myself I think, of wanting them to know the wonderful grandmother they'll never meet in real life.
Little things, like the smell and taste of her favourite breakfast, the way she liked her toast, her fondness for things crisp, bitter and tangy over sweet or plain.
My mother always joked that her madeleines really were madeleines. I joked that she just read too many French books.
I've just discovered that my madeleines are apparently burnt toast and marmalade.


Volunteers play a vital role in the success of the Rapiscan Systems Classic Presented by Coastal Mississippi golf tournament. We enlist the help of approximately 800 volunteers to work on various committees, and we want to ensure that each individual has a once-in-a-lifetime experience! With volunteer positions available throughout the course, with the players, on the driving range and even inside the ropes, volunteers will have a behind-the-scenes, unparalleled PGA TOUR Champions experience. Our volunteers help the tournament operate smoothly and maximize our contributions to our Tournament Charity Partners. We couldn't do it without them!
Volunteers are assigned to a variety of committees, performing the many tasks required to conduct a PGA TOUR Champions event. A description of each committee is available for your review prior to your selection of the committee choices on the online Volunteer Application. Each volunteer is given the opportunity to list three committee preferences. Volunteers will be notified of their committee assignment through email once the Volunteer Application is completed. Committee assignments are granted on a first-come, first served basis.
All adult volunteers (those 18 and over) are required to work a minimum of three shifts over the course of the tournament. Shifts are approximately 3 to 4 hours long, but can vary depending on the committee. Volunteers are more than welcome to work more than three shifts if they would like. On the online application, you have the opportunity to select your availability and note if you want to work additional shifts. Please note, these times are not your final schedule, but will serve as a starting point for your Committee Chairman as they create a shift schedule. Once the shift assignments have been made, volunteers will be able to view their personal schedule through their volunteer online profile.
Junior Volunteers ages 13-17 also have the opportunity to volunteer at the tournament. Juniors who are 13 and 14 can sign up as standard bearers. Juniors between the ages of 15 and 17 can sign up as Standard Bearers, Marshals or for the Welcome Center/Admissions. If a Junior Volunteer is under 15 and accompanied by an adult, they can also sign up as a Marshal. For questions concerning this policy, please contact our Community Outreach Manager at 228-243-7021. Junior Volunteers do not receive the Volunteer Package as listed above. They will receive a complimentary t-shirt and hat to wear upon arriving for their first shift.

Hawaii Biotech to Work on Zika Vaccine
Posted on May 5, 2016 in BIO 2016, Hawaii Biotech, Hawaii Life Sciences, News, Zika Vaccine
Published Monday, May 2nd 2016, 7:26 am HST By Howard Dicus, Business Reporter
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – Hawaii Biotech, developer of molecular vaccines for West Nile virus and dengue fever, has begun working on one for the Zika virus.
"We made the decision to start work now," Hawaii Biotech CEO Dr. Elliott Parks said on Sunrise, "because we were confident our experience with West Nile and dengue fever would get us a contract to do the work."
The move was announced Monday as Gov. David Ige, Sen. Mazie Hirono and state Health Director Dr. Virgina Pressler jointly called for more emergency federal funding to prepare for a Zika outbreak.
Legacy vaccines are made from the disease they fight, and carry a small risk of actually getting the disease from the shot. Hawaii Biotech produces vaccines at the molecular level, from certain proteins, so there isn't any disease, dead or otherwise, in the drug that results.
This method has already worked for West Nile and dengue fever so it has a track record of success.
Because of the time pressure, Dr. Parks said some of the work will be done on the mainland.
"We'll do some research here but the lab work on the mainland," he said. "We don't have the Zika virus here and getting a permit to bring it here would take too much time."
As things stand, Dr. Park hopes Hawaii Biotech can have a vaccine ready next year.
The first Zika-related death was reported in the U.S. on Friday. The Centers for Disease Control says a 70-year-old man died from a severe reaction to the virus in Puerto Rico back in February.

A shaman is considered to be a master of the spiritual plane by those who believe in its existence.
Loosely defined, a shaman can also be a charismatic central figure who performs magic; though a consulting intercessor between the supplicant and the spiritual plane is the traditional definition.
Some shamans encourage the belief that they possess supernatural qualities which transcend human nature. To wit, shamans are usually credited with the ability to speak to spirits and perform feats of magic such as astral projection[?] and healing. Shamans are usually found in tribal cultures with nature religions[?] and beliefs in ancestor spirits[?], though some persons in modern Western Cultures[?] also consider themselves to be shamans. The shaman's office is usually held to be hereditary and his chief assistants are held to be his ancestral spirits[?].
One of a shaman's main functions is to protect individuals from hostile supernatural influences. He or she deals with with both good and bad spirits, performs sacrifices and procures oracles. Shamanistic traditions often include induction of trance through drugs (often neurotoxins[?] known to be hallucinogens), chanting, fasting, dancing and music. The drum (tungur in Altaic) is an important instrument in shamanistic ceremonies, which may be used to induce autohypnotic phenomena. Researchers also suspect that in some cultures schizophrenia or similar conditions may predispose an individual to the role of shaman.

Membership is open to anyone interested in preserving our local community history. We have different categories of membership dues – join us!
What Will Your Membership In Tempe Historical Society Do?
As a member or donor to Tempe Historical Society, you will be helping support the preservation of Tempe's history and Tempe History Museum which the Society founded more than 40 years ago. Among the many ways we support the museum is in hosting opening receptions for exhibits and providing enriching experience for children to sponsoring performances and programs so they can be offered free to the public. The Society supports the museum's Oral History program and Veterans History projects with the annual "Tree of Lights" project. Our support helps fund acquisitions and special needs at the museum or the historic sites it oversees – most notably Tempe's popular Petersen House Museum.
In addition to the support of the museum, The Historical Society presents its own free-to-the-public Lunch Talks series (PDF, 480 KB) at the Museum, featuring speakers on Tempe and Arizona history-related topics which have run the gamut from the horrors of medical practices in Arizona Territorial days to political reminiscences of Tempe's first publicly-elected mayor.
Membership dues also help with printing of the Society's quarterly newsletter for its members about things past and present and sometimes future in Tempe history.
In the spring of 2016 the Society and its partners will celebrate Tempe's history with an annual community event: Hayden's Ferry Days, an event similar to the 1970-1971 Tempe Centennial Celebration. Both Tempe Historical Society and the Tempe History Museum came into being because of that year-long, community-wide celebration.
Membership supports the work of preserving and sharing our collective memory with the community. Membership has benefits depending on the level you select. All levels receive the Society Newsletter, 10% discount in the museum store, and special invitations to events. Higher levels receive additional gifts such as artist-rendered note cards of historic properties, books on Tempe history or limited edition prints. The most important gift is your support of our community's unique history and heritage. To join, simply complete the form and send it or bring it to Tempe History Museum with your payment. The membership year begins in May and renewals start in April.
THS Membership Form (PDF, 180 KB). Please print and send with payment for annual membership dues.

I wish that the parking lot is free and or with much more discount for guests.
The room is spacious and clean, with nice view of tokyo bay and nearby parks and hotels. I also prefer their choice of room wallpaper colors which is light and relaxing.
A little further away from everything than we anticipated, but still super convenient with the shuttle buses.
B'fast bit disappointing as it had same thing everyday, no varieties. You don't wanna eat 7days same thing. We stayed 7days but used only 4days.
Only one restaurant on the premises with the same Menu choices. No spa facility. Has no room service even if you wanted to pay for the meal at the restaurant and take it to your room.
Transportation to and from the hotel was great! It was away from everything yet just a bus stop away to malls, Tokyo Disneyland, Tokyo DisneySea, and Shin Urayasu Station! There was a market on site which was open 24 hours. Staff were courteous and polite.
We booked a bus shuttle to bring us to the airport and it was a bit pricey (1800 yen per person) and the driver was late for 10 minutes or so.
Room is bigger than I expected. We have everything we need in the room! They have a small laundry / pantry at the ground floor where you can heat your food. Lawson is also just at the GF. It's just a bit far to Tokyo Disneyland but they provide free shuttle anyway.
It is too far away to shops restaurants.
They provide shuttle busses to customers to Disneyland.
I think that breakfast should have been included in the price.


In my previous post "In Love with "Love"" I spoke briefly on the topic when I stopped dating for a year. After a year I didn't just hop back on the band wagon. It was still a struggle for me. I didn't find a solution of course if I did I wouldn't be single. What I did find was what I wanted and what I want to give and understanding they are two completely different things.
A few days ago I was listening to the radio and someone called and asked for advice and the answer that was given was so true. The advice was "treat him how he needs to be treated not how you want to be treated". We are so wrapped up on what we want and how we want it, we think the other person want the same. We have to open our hearts and minds to understand them. For example something's to keep me happy in a relationship are food, time, and compliments. Just because I like to cook I'm going to cook for my man I assume he will love it and want it. That's not always true. If I cook food he's going to eat it regardless if it me took 5 minutes or the whole day to make it. So doing that for him might not make him happy in the relationship just content. Once we find out what the other person is looking for makes the relationship easier. I just haven't found a man that takes the time to want to figure me out. They're just doing the things they normally do in the past. Which results in failure in opening their hearts because their doing the opposite by closing it off and not stepping out of the norm.
Q: When was the last time you did something different for your significant other?
Q: Are you happy doing the same things over and over?
Q: What about for the next 20 years?
Step out and do something else. Why stay comfortable when your relationship could feel like an adventure to explore another part of your other half. Don't be content be happy.
Are you enjoying the "Loveless Series" so far? If so don't forget the like this post. Next week the topic will be "Trusting God and wondering if love is a part of my timeline".

AustralianSuper stares down shorts on Syrah
Peter KerResources reporter
Dec 3, 2019 — 12.00am
Australia's biggest superannuation fund says the investment thesis that attracted it to Australia's most shorted stock remains intact, in a major vote of confidence for struggling graphite producer Syrah Resources.
Syrah shares have fallen by 94 per cent since June 2016 and its ability to outlast rival graphite producers through this year's downturn is largely due to support from AustralianSuper, which owns 16.5 per cent of the company and has acted as its underwriter and lender.
A severe slump in graphite prices forced Syrah to dramatically scale back production at its Balama mine in Mozambique in October, but AustralianSuper portfolio manager Luke Smith said he still believed Balama would be among the world's biggest, best and lowest-cost graphite mines.
''It is very much the philosophy we take in our junior mining investments, we invest and support with new capital should the investment thesis be intact, and we continue to see the [Balama] asset as being a very strategic asset. It is a world class resource, it is a world class facility they have now built at Balama,'' he told The Australian Financial Review.
''When it is at nameplate capacity it will be the most globally competitive graphite producer and therefore, over time, as the market starts to shift with electric vehicles, it will be a very strategic asset which we can see can have sustainable cash flow over a very long period.
''The thing that has changed is price for the commodity they are selling - we look through that."
AustralianSuper's continued support for Syrah comes despite the miner raising funds from shareholders on five occasions in the past four years, and as 17 per cent of the Syrah register is betting on further falls in the share price.
While it paid as much as $6.54 for Syrah shares in 2016, Bloomberg data suggests AustralianSuper's stake in Syrah was bought at an average price of 73¢.
Syrah was fetching 35¢ on Monday.
The thing that has changed is price for the commodity they are selling - we look through that.
— Luke Smith, AustralianSuper
AustralianSuper deepened its relationship with Syrah in June when, aside from subscribing for more shares, Mr Smith's team loaned money to the graphite miner in the form of a $55.8 million convertible note.
It was the first time AustralianSuper had issued a convertible note to a listed company.
''We are fortunate that we have this ability to take a longer-term view than most investors out there and approach things in a slightly unorthodox way by writing a convertible note for an asset such as this,'' said Mr Smith.
''We want to continue to back the asset, however we want to protect members' money on the downside, and this is one way we can continue to invest in the asset, provide some level of financial security to the investment we have and also help the management team get through the working capital position over the next 12 to 24 months.
''It shows our long-term nature; it is a five-year convertible period, we can't convert to shares in the first two-and-a-half years, the company can capitalise all interest.''
AustralianSuper's support for Syrah has earned it a right to a board seat, but Mr Smith said his fund was not pushing a board member on to Syrah, preferring to allow Syrah chairman Jim Askew to have the final say.
New entrant
The graphite sector's woes are analogous to those affecting other battery minerals such as lithium; high prices in recent years incentivised new supply to enter and subsequently overwhelm a small market at precisely the time demand slumped through changes to electric vehicle subsidies in China.
Syrah is the biggest new entrant to the graphite market, and would have supplied 40 per cent of the world's graphite in 2019 had it exported the 300,000 tonnes it was promising 14 months ago.
AustralianSuper's support has allowed Syrah chief executive Shaun Verner to tailor supply to demand, rather than maximise production for short-term cash flow requirements.
As a result, Syrah's exports in 2019 are likely to be closer to 162,000 tonnes.
''Our investment in Syrah is clearly not for this month or next month," said Mr Smith. ''We want to make sure the company has the flexibility to manage its entry into the market over the next five to 10 years.''
Mr Smith said the US government's growing focus on strategic minerals augers well for Syrah, which plans to make battery grade spherical graphite at a factory in Louisiana.
But China's shift in 2019 to become a net importer of graphite, rather than a net exporter, was arguably even more exciting for Syrah, which in the past two years has become the first company to ship graphite into China.
''I don't think people are picking up on what is happening in the graphite market at the moment in regards to the imports into China and the exports out of China and how clearly Syrah is having a massive effect on the market,'' said Mr Smith.
''It is the first time a large graphite processing plant of this scale has been built outside of China ... it is not like building a gold mine in Western Australia, this is not something you take off the shelf.''
Bigger exposure
Syrah is just one of the stocks through which AustralianSuper has sought exposure to the boom in modern batteries, electric vehicles and energy storage more generally.
Mr Smith's small caps fund has stakes in lithium plays Orocobre and Piedmont, and also owns 8.6 per cent of CleanTeq, which aspires to develop a nickel and cobalt project in NSW.
''We have a view on the electric vehicle and energy storage thematic, it is a global thematic, and it is one that is appropriate for our style of investing,'' he said.
''Share prices will go up and down in a 12 month period, but the thematic is a decade-plus long thematic, which will play out over a significant amount of time and it is one where we continue to do a lot of research".
Mr Smith said his team were also focused on the long-term thematic around food security, and had sought exposure to that trend through a 5.1 per cent stake in Spain-focused potash producer Highfield Resources and a 12.8 per cent stake in Australian potash producer Agrimin.
''We don't invest in leverage plays or higher cost producers, we invest in assets which we can see will be able to survive and make cash flow profits during any stage of the cycle, and that is what we see in the likes of Agrimin and Highfield,'' he said.
Highfield managing director Peter Albert said AustralianSuper was a ''tremendous'' shareholder for a small company developing an asset that could be world class but required time and money to develop.
''They are a great investor to have on your register, long term, sticky money, they understand the value equation and really see the future here,'' he told The Australian Financial Review in October.

Sheriff: Man kicks in church side door, points shotgun
By Jenny Arnoldjennifer.arnold@shj.com
Two siblings have been charged after one of them kicked open the side door at a Boiling Springs church and pointed a shotgun at the pastor and congregation.
As they are before most worship services, the doors of Boiling Springs' South Side Freewill Baptist Church were open on Sunday morning.
The Rev. Henry Guyton, pastor of the church, said Jesse Gates, who has attended worship services at the church on Upper Valley Falls Road as recently as Wednesday, came to the door about 10 a.m. on Sunday.
"He came in before the service and acted like he was having a heart attack," Guyton, 71, said. "He asked us to call Channel 7 news. I called 911 instead."
Sheriff Chuck Wright said deputies and Spartanburg EMS arrived, and checked out Gates, and Gates left.
About 11:20 a.m., Jesse Gates returned to the church. The Rev. Guyton's grandson, Aaron Guyton, 26, was in the recreation building separate from the church and saw Gates get a shotgun from the trunk of his car.
"At that point, I knew I had to do something," Aaron Guyton said. "I wanted to try to contain him outside."
Aaron Guyton went into the main building and locked the doors.
Henry Guyton said he was in the pulpit, preaching about how Jesus spoke the word of God and healed the sick, when Gates kicked open the side door of the sanctuary and entered with the shotgun, pointing it at the pastor and congregation.
Church members, including Aaron Guyton, a concealed weapons permit holder, acted quickly.
Aaron Guyton held Gates at gunpoint, as church members Jesse Smith and Leland Powers held him on the floor and waited for deputies to arrive. The Rev. Guyton said he stepped onto a chair, climbed down a 3-foot bannister surrounding the pulpit and took the shotgun from Jesse Gates.
"The gun was loaded," Henry Guyton said. "I said, 'Jesse, what did you do it for?' He said, 'They took my children and won't let me see them.' I'm glad the Lord took care of everything. The police did a good job too."
No shots were fired and no one was injured, according to deputies.
During a news conference Sunday, Wright called Aaron and Henry Guyton, Jesse Smith and Leland Powers "everyday heroes."
Gates, 38, has been charged with second-degree burglary (violent), disturbing a place of worship, kidnapping and three counts of pointing and presenting a firearm, Wright said. Arrest warrants state that Jesse Gates pointed the shotgun at Smith, Henry Guyton and Powers, and that he intended to kidnap the pastor.
Gates' sister, Angela Michelle Gates, 34, has been charged with accessory before the fact of a felony. Wright said Angela Gates went to the church with her brother and provided him with the shotgun he used during the incident.
Both siblings live at 115 Falcon Ridge Road, Boiling Springs, with their mother, Lt. Tony Ivey said.
Gates also had a hunting knife in his possession when he entered the church. Ivey said he was charged with violent burglary because he entered the building with deadly weapons.
Wright said that while Angela Gates has no prior criminal record, Jesse Gates' criminal history includes numerous convictions for burglary, grand larceny and forgery. He is a convicted felon and prohibited from having a gun or ammunition.
Wright said it's possible the case could be forwarded to federal authorities.
During a news conference Sunday, Wright commended Aaron Guyton for having a concealed weapons permit.
"We're very fortunate we didn't have gruesome scenes to work there," Wright said. "I like the fact that a concealed weapons permit holder was prepared to protect the worshippers."
Wright made national headlines in October when a man attacked a woman at Milliken Park during the day, urging residents to obtain concealed weapons permits and arm themselves. Earlier this year, Wright praised a concealed weapons permit holder who shot and killed a would-be robber at a Waffle House on Chesnee Highway.
"I hope the bad guys are watching, because we are tired of your nonsense," Wright said. "People are simply protecting their families. Prepare yourselves, ladies and gentlemen."
At the same time, Wright said, he urged residents to be "good witnesses" for law enforcement, and if the situation calls for it, to retreat to their homes if they find themselves in a potentially dangerous situation.
"I don't want you to act as a deputy sheriff," Wright said. "I don't want you to take the law into your own hands."
The Gateses were interviewed at the sheriff's office and taken to the Spartanburg County Detention Facility about 3:15 p.m. Sunday.
Ivey said a magistrate judge was expected to deny bond for the siblings, and that investigators have requested formal bond hearings for them, which will be conducted in circuit court.
As Gates was led in handcuffs to patrol car for transport to jail, he told reporters that he was trying to get someone to listen to him, because his children had been taken away. He said he had asked the church for assistance, but no one would help him.
Gates also said he never aimed the shotgun at anyone in the church, although an incident report states that he pointed it at the Rev. Henry Guyton and the congregation.
"I've been praying, begging," Gates said. "They won't let me see my children. I tried everything. What can you do?"
Angela Gates also spoke to the media as she was taken to a patrol car to go to jail. She said she didn't know her brother had a gun and that Jesse Gates drove himself to the church. Ivey said Angela Gates was in the car with her brother when they went to the church.
"He (Jesse) said he was going to talk to his kids," Angela Gates said.
Neither law enforcement nor Henry Guyton know who Jesse Gates was referring to when he said "they" took away his children.
The Rev. Guyton's wife, Joyce, 70, said she remained calm through the incident, even as Gates pointed the shotgun at her husband in the pulpit.
"He said, 'Come out of the pulpit,' " Joyce Guyton said. "He said it three times. He scared some of the members to death. Some of them crawled under the benches and chairs. I don't know if he was drugged or what was wrong with him, but he was bad."
Joyce Guyton said Gates had been attending services at Southside for about the past month, and church members remember him there from many years ago when he was a child.
"He told me he had just gotten out of prison for stealing," Joyce Guyton said.
She says Gates didn't ask for help.
"We help people who need help," Joyce Guyton said. "We've helped a lot of families over there. They've never come back with a gun."
Aaron Guyton said he's had a concealed weapons permit since 2009, and usually keeps his gun in the car during church. But after Gates showed up at the church the first time, Aaron Guyton said he decided to keep the gun in his back pocket the rest of the morning. He says he couldn't believe he almost had to use his gun inside the church he's attended all of his life. But he says he would have shot Gates to protect his grandparents, 8-year-old sister and 7-week-old cousin if his grandfather, whom he calls "Pops," hadn't been able to jerk the shotgun out of Gates' hand.
"Once we got him (Gates) on the ground, he was begging forgiveness," Aaron Guyton said. "It was the first time I ever had to draw my weapon on someone."
But when asked if he felt like a hero, Aaron Guyton replied, "I feel like I done what needed to be done. If my grandfather hadn't grabbed the gun, I was going to take his (Gates') life. I'm very proud of my grandfather. He moves quick."
The Rev. Guyton said Gates has attended church there about four times, but his children do not.
The church had a meal after services on Sunday, and because a singing had previously been scheduled, the evening worship service had been canceled before the morning's incident, Guyton said.
The pastor has led the church for all of his 36 years in the ministry and said he's never had an incident like Sunday's happen in his sanctuary.
Guyton did not express anger at the man who brought a shotgun into his church on Sunday morning.
"I pray for him," Guyton said. "He's lost. We just hope he gets straightened out."

If you haven't yet heard the music of recording artist and producer CARSON, you soon will. At just 22 years old, he's writing and producing lyrics far beyond his years. His music is passionate, romantic, catchy and mature. In his own words, the musician describes his style as a mixture of synth pop with soft rock influence. He's been writing and recording since the age of 14, so he's by no means a newcomer to the industry.
CARSON enjoys making music, and it translates in his work on stage and in the studio. His music is fun and emotional. With a calendar filled with upcoming shows, we talked to the artist about his sense of style and how he spends the days when he's not performing.
"Well, on a regular day you'll catch me in a flannel or graphic tee with skinny jeans and theses black worn-out suede Chelsea boots I have. I'd probably be nursing a beer at the bar Hell's Kitchen. Being in New York for so long, you set a bar whenever you're going out and that's my bar. If it's not a performance, I'm not in full makeup and couture. I just don't care enough.
How do you plan what you will wear for a performance?
Besides making music, do you have any favorite hobbies?
Do you have a favorite way to spend a weekend?
Who would you consider your style icon?
Just like his music is a meld of genres, so too is his sense of style on and off stage. CARSON is blurring lines across both fashion and his work as an artist. A young visionary who we think will be just like his coveted Louis Vuitton bag: unique in his own right and aging beautifully as an artist with time and experience.
What do you think about CARSON's style? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments and connect with us on social media!
Elizabeth Hazard is a photo director, producer and writer with several years of experience producing content for magazines, websites, brands and artists. A published author, she frequently writes about fashion, art and cultural topics for websites and publications.
I always think I wish I would have known these artists when they were first starting out playing in small clubs and venues, and then their music and status take off and I could say I was along for the ride! I truly believe I have found just the artist that will do just that! I can't wait to see Carson on Tuesday at Bowery, I've been waiting a long time for this!


How to Grow Early Strawberries Author Info 26 References wikiHow is a wiki similar to Wikipedia, which means that many of our articles are written collaboratively.... The strawberry you eat is not really a fruit or a berry but is the enlarged receptacle of the flower. Strawberries are grown in every state in the U.S. and every province in Canada.
Balcony, Patio or Backyard, Strawberries Grow Anywhere! Strawberries are great edible plants to grow in any size garden. As long as you can find a spot with sun for at least six hours a day, you can grow strawberries.
By Kim Joyce Strawberries are grown in every state, but California alone produces three-fourths of the nation 's crop—1 billion pounds of big red berries per year.
The Secret Life Of California's World-Class Strawberries : The Salt We may romanticize that strawberries are grown down the road, but most of them come from California.
The delicious berry is the state's fifth most valuable crop, and California farmers are responsible for about 80 percent of all the strawberries grown in the nation.

1. Who'll be the villain in the Toy Story World in KH3?
I betting the villain in the Toy Story world is going to be some crazy heartless Transformer toy.
My instinct was to fight a conglomeration mutant toy, but then I remembered the whole point of them is that they were still good even if they were deformed.
Be neat to fight The Claw.
JESUS where was this on halloween!?
What if Zurg is one of the 13 darknesses?
We know who the villain of the world is. It's Young Xehanort.
If you're asking who the boss should be, I'd figure it would be some toy from Galaxy Toys turned into a Heartless.
I hope Sid and Zurg but I don't think they will appear since the storyline will take place after Toy Story 2.

Cars can be lighter, faster, stronger – but they need more arms
Fresh Science, Media releases
Scientist available for interview, Tuesday 17 June 2014
Lighter-weight, fuel-efficient cars may be closer to reality thanks to Geelong researchers who are giving carbon fibre the gripping power it needs to be able to stand up to impacts from motorists.
High-performance vehicles already use carbon fibre – a high-strength lightweight material that can be moulded into complex shapes – to make cars lighter, more fuel-efficient and faster.
But although strong, carbon fibre is prone to damage from sudden impact. And unlike metal, it can't be repaired – only replaced.
This factor has limited the material's uptake by the wider automotive industry, as the common bingle would end up costing motorists a lot more to fix.
Ms Linden Servinis, a PhD student at Deakin University, and her colleagues have developed a treatment for carbon fibre that makes it 16% stronger by forming extra chemical 'arms' that grip onto its surroundings, allowing the material to withstand greater impacts.
"The carbon fibre composite materials we work with are made of black hair-like carbon fibres weaved together and coated in hard plastic," explains Linden – a FameLab Australia national finalist.
"They're extremely light-weight and stronger than steel, but in the event of impact damage, like in a car crash, the individual fibres break free of the plastic and the strength is lost.
"But we've found a way to help the fibres hold together – we've given them extra chemical arms to grab on to eachother and hold on to their plastic casing."
Linden and her colleagues discovered that large sections of the carbon fibre surface, which were previously thought to be useless, are actually an untapped resource for chemical reactions where extra 'arms' can be grown.
By creating a less damage-prone material, Linden hopes to increase the likelihood of wider carbon fibre uptake by the automotive industry.
"If we can get more carbon fibre into cars, they'll be lighter and more-fuel efficient, which is going to be really important in developing the cars of the future," says Linden.
Their research also shines light on further possibilities for altering a range of carbon fibre surfaces.
Increasingly used in aerospace, high-performance automotive, sporting, and oil and gas industries, carbon fibre materials are replacing traditional materials such as steel and aluminium.
FameLab is a global science communication competition for early-career scientists. Linden was the runner-up of the Victorian state competition, and she competed in the national final in May.

Carbon fibre composites are the future of light weight and fuel efficient vehicles, but they aren't quite perfect yet. Made up of weaved black strands of fibre surrounded with a plastic reinforcement, they are stronger than steel and have very low weight. However, in the event of impact damage, there is often irreversible damage done, as the individual fibres slide free of the plastic, and all of the strength of the material which is provided by the fibres is lost. This is called debonding failure. So how can debonding be minimised or even prevented?
Drawing inspiration from the chemistry performed using carbon nanotubes – a much more perfect, and much smaller version of a carbon fibre – Linden selected three different chemical strategies. Each strategy used the parts of the carbon fibre surface that haven't been used before, and added new chemical 'arms' which could allow the fibre to hold onto the surrounding plastic.
The three different strategies were applied to pristine carbon fibres using organic chemical reactions.
According to spectroscopic analysis all three chemical 'recipes' had worked. Some better than others, but they had all introduced new chemical arms on a part of the fibre previously considered redundant.
The next question was, will the new chemical arms grab onto it surrounding plastic and prevent debonding?
Taking some of the enhanced fibres from the three recipes, Linden surrounded each of them with the reinforcement material. Then she broke them.
Using a microscope to look at the broken fibers, coupled with some clever maths and statistics, Linden confirmed that her reactions had worked. The new chemical arms formed from the three reactions had clung on to the surrounding plastic reinforcement, reducing the amount of debonding which occurred. These discoveries are the first step on the road to the perfect carbon fibre composite, and the light weight, fuel efficient vehicles of the future.

In 2014, the British Council and Fresh Science have joined forces to bring FameLab to Australia.
FameLab Australia offers specialist science media training and, ultimately, the chance for early-career researchers to pitch their research at the FameLab International Grand Final in the UK at The Times Cheltenham Science Festival, which happened this year from 3 to 5 June 2014.
FameLab is an international communication competition for scientists, including engineers and mathematicians. Designed to inspire and motivate young researchers to actively engage with the public and with potential stakeholders, FameLab is all about finding the best new voices of science and engineering across the world.
Founded in 2005 by The Times Cheltenham Science Festival, FameLab, working in partnership with the British Council, has already seen more than 5000 young scientists and engineers participate in over 23 different countries – from Hong Kong to South Africa, USA to Egypt.
Now, FameLab comes to Australia in a landmark collaboration with the British Council and Fresh Science – Australia's very own science-communicating competition.
